\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}

The experiments at LEP (CERN), SLC (SLAC) and PETRA (DESY) have collected a wealth of data from electron-positron annihilation
with hadronic final state over a wide range of energies.
Of particular interest are three-jet events, which can be used to extract the value of the strong coupling constant.
Three-jet events are well suited for this task because the leading term in a perturbative calculation
of three-jet observables is already proportional to the strong coupling.
In comparing experiments to theory it is important to restrict oneself to infra-red safe observables.
For three-jet events in electron-positron annihilation there is a well established set of infra-red safe observables,
which is widely used. These are the event shape variables consisting of thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening,
total jet broadening and the $C$-parameter.
In addition there are observables related to a specific jet definition.
First of all these are the jet rates associated to the different jet definitions.
In this paper the following jet algorithms are considered: Durham, Geneva, Jade-E0 and Cambridge.
As the Durham jet algorithm is the most popular one, for this jet algorithm also the
three-to-two jet transition variable is studied.

All these observables can be calculated in perturbation theory.
In this article I present the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) results for these observables.
For completeness I also include the next-to-leading order (NLO) and leading order (LO) results.

Another group published results for these observables earlier on in \cite{GehrmannDeRidder:2007hr,GehrmannDeRidder:2008ug,Ridder:2009dp},
but omitted certain subtraction terms related to soft gluons.
The present calculation is based on the numerical Monte-Carlo program reported in \cite{Weinzierl:2008iv,Weinzierl:1999yf}.
The additional soft gluon subtraction terms modify the distributions in the peak region.
Meanwhile the other group has added the missing subtraction terms and the two programs are now for the main part of the
observables in good agreement.
A few remaining differences are discussed in the numerical section.
A detailed account of the subtraction terms used in this calculation is given in a companion paper \cite{Weinzierl:2009aaa}.

For the thrust distribution there exists an independent calculation of the logarithmic terms based on
soft-collinear effective theory \cite{Becher:2008cf}.
This calculation should agree with the NNLO result for small values of $(1-T)$.
For large values of $(1-T)$ the logarithmic terms alone are not sufficient to give an accurate result.
On the other hand the perturbative calculation of this paper gives the correct NNLO result
for large and intermediate values of $(1-T)$, but has its limitations due to the Monte-Carlo integration
method for very small values of $(1-T)$.
This gives a region of overlap where the perturbative NNLO result and the one obtained from SCET should agree,
and indeed they do.

This article reports the pure perturbative results for the event shapes.
Not included are soft-gluon resummations \cite{Catani:1992ua,Catani:1998sf,Becher:2008cf,Gehrmann:2008kh}
nor power corrections \cite{Dokshitzer:1997ew,Davison:2008vx}.

It should be mentioned that the results of this paper rely heavily on research carried out in the past years:
Integration techniques for two-loop amplitudes \cite{Gehrmann:1999as,Gehrmann:2000zt,Gehrmann:2001ck,Moch:2001zr},
the calculation of the relevant tree-, one- and two-loop-amplitudes \cite{Berends:1989yn,Hagiwara:1989pp,Falck:1989uz,Schuler:1987ej,Korner:1990sj,Giele:1992vf,Bern:1997ka,Bern:1997sc,Campbell:1997tv,Glover:1997eh,Garland:2001tf,Garland:2002ak,Moch:2002hm},
routines for the numerical evaluation of polylogarithms \cite{Gehrmann:2001pz,Gehrmann:2001jv,Vollinga:2004sn},
methods to handle infrared singularities \cite{Kosower:2002su,Kosower:2003cz,Weinzierl:2003fx,Weinzierl:2003ra,Kilgore:2004ty,Frixione:2004is,Gehrmann-DeRidder:2003bm,Gehrmann-DeRidder:2004tv,Gehrmann-DeRidder:2005hi,Gehrmann-DeRidder:2005aw,Gehrmann-DeRidder:2005cm,GehrmannDeRidder:2007jk,Somogyi:2005xz,Somogyi:2006da,Somogyi:2006db,Catani:2007vq,Somogyi:2008fc,Somogyi:2009ri,Aglietti:2008fe}
and experience from the NNLO calculations of
$e^+ e^- \rightarrow \mbox{2 jets}$ and other processes
\cite{Anastasiou:2004qd,Gehrmann-DeRidder:2004tv,Weinzierl:2006ij,Weinzierl:2006yt,Anastasiou:2002yz,Anastasiou:2003yy,Anastasiou:2003ds,Anastasiou:2004xq,Anastasiou:2005qj,Anastasiou:2007mz,Melnikov:2006di,Anastasiou:2005pn,Catani:2001ic,Catani:2001cr,Grazzini:2008tf,Harlander:2001is,Harlander:2002wh,Harlander:2003ai}.

This paper is organised as follows: Section~\ref{sec:def} gives the definition of the observables
related to three-jet events in electron-positron annihilation.
Section~\ref{sec:perturbative} describes the perturbative calculation of these observables.
Section~\ref{sec:num} gives the numerical results.
Finally, section~\ref{sec:conclusions} contains a summary.
In an appendix a useful algorithm for the determination of the thrust axis is described.

\section{Definition of the observables}
\label{sec:def}

The event shape variable thrust \cite{Brandt:1964sa,Farhi:1977sg}
is defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
 T & = &
 \frac{\max\limits_{\vec{n}} \sum\limits_j \left| \vec{p}_j \cdot \vec{n} \right|}{\sum\limits_j \left| \vec{p}_j \right|},
\end{eqnarray}
where $\vec{p}_j$ denotes the three-momentum of particle $j$ and the sum runs over all particles in the
final state. The thrust variable maximises the total longitudinal momentum along the unit vector $\vec{n}$.
The value of $\vec{n}$, for which the maximum is attained is called the thrust axis
and denoted by $\vec{n}_T$.
The value of thrust ranges between $1/2$ and $1$, where $T=1$ corresponds to an ideal collinear two-jet event
and $T=1/2$ corresponds to a perfectly spherical event.
Usually one considers instead of thrust $T$ the variable $(1-T)$, such that
the two-jet region corresponds to $(1-T) \rightarrow 0$.
For three-parton events we have $(1-T) \le 1/3$.

The plane orthogonal to the thrust axis divides the space into two hemispheres $H_1$ and $H_2$. These are used
to define the following event shape variables:
The hemisphere masses \cite{Clavelli:1981yh} are defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
 M_i^2 & = & \left( \sum\limits_{j\in H_i} p_j \right)^2, \;\;\;i=1,2,
\end{eqnarray}
where $p_j$ denotes the four-momentum of particle $j$.
The heavy hemisphere mass $M_H$ and the light hemisphere mass $M_L$ are then defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
 M_H^2 = \max\left(M_1^2,M_2^2\right),
 & &
 M_L^2 = \min\left(M_1^2,M_2^2\right).
\end{eqnarray}
The light hemisphere mass is a four-jet observable and vanishes for three partons.
For the heavy jet mass it is convenient to introduce the dimensionless quantity
\begin{eqnarray}
 \rho & = & \frac{M_H^2}{Q^2},
\end{eqnarray}
where $Q$ is the centre-of-mass energy.
For three-parton events we have $\rho \le 1/3$.
In leading order the distribution of the heavy jet mass is identical to the distribution of $(1-T)$.

The hemisphere broadenings \cite{Rakow:1981qn,Catani:1992jc} are defined by
\begin{eqnarray}
 B_i & = &
 \frac{\sum\limits_{j\in H_i} \left| \vec{p}_j \times \vec{n}_T \right|}
      {2 \sum\limits_k \left| \vec{p}_k \right|},
 \;\;\;i=1,2,
\end{eqnarray}
where the sum over $j$ runs over all particles in one of the hemispheres, whereas the sum over $k$ is over all
particles in the final state.
The wide jet broadening $B_W$, the narrow jet broadening $B_N$ and the total jet broadening $B_T$ are defined
by
\begin{eqnarray}
 B_W = \max\left(B_1,B_2\right),
 \;\;\;
 B_N = \min\left(B_1,B_2\right),
 \;\;\;
 B_T = B_1 + B_2.
\end{eqnarray}
The narrow jet broadening is a four-jet observable and vanishes for three partons.
For three-parton events we have $B_W, B_T \le 1/(2\sqrt{3})$.

The $C$- and $D$-parameters \cite{Parisi:1978eg,Donoghue:1979vi} are obtained from the
linearised momentum tensor
\begin{eqnarray}
\theta^{ij} & = &
 \frac{1}{\sum\limits_l \left|\vec{p}_l\right|} \sum\limits_k \frac{p_k^i p_k^j}{\left|\vec{p}_k\right|},
 \;\;\; i,j=1,2,3,
\end{eqnarray}
where the sum runs over all final state particles and $p_k^i$ is the $i$-th component of the three-momentum
$\vec{p}_k$ of particle $k$ in the c.m. system.
The tensor $\theta$ is normalised to have unit trace.
In terms of the eigenvalues of the $\theta$ tensor,
$\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$, $\lambda_3$, with
$\lambda_1 + \lambda_2 + \lambda_3 = 1$, one defines
\begin{eqnarray}
C & = & 3 \left( \lambda_1 \lambda_2 + \lambda_2 \lambda_3 + \lambda_3 \lambda_1 \right),
 \nonumber \\
D & = & 27 \lambda_1 \lambda_2 \lambda_3.
\end{eqnarray}
The range of values is $0 \leq C,D \leq 1$.
The $D$-parameter is again a four-jet observable and vanishes for three partons.
For three-parton events we have $C \le 3/4$.
The $C$-parameter exhibits in perturbation theory a singularity at the
three-parton boundary $C=3/4$ \cite{Catani:1997xc}.

The production rate for three-jet events is defined by
the ratio of the cross section for three-jet events by the total hadronic cross section
\begin{eqnarray}
 R_3 & = &  \frac{\sigma_{3-jet}}{\sigma_{tot}}.
\end{eqnarray}
This depends on the definition of the jet algorithm, usually specified through a resolution variable and a
recombination prescription.
The clustering procedure of a jet algorithm in electron-positron annihilation
is in most cases defined through the following steps:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Define a resolution parameter $y_{cut}$
\item For every pair $(p_k, p_l)$ of final-state particles compute the corresponding
resolution variable $y_{kl}$.
\item If $y_{ij}$ is the smallest value of $y_{kl}$ computed above and
$y_{ij} < y_{cut}$ then combine $(p_i, p_j)$ into a single jet ('pseudo-particle')
with momentum $p_{ij}$ according to a recombination prescription.
\item Repeat until all pairs of objects (particles and/or pseudo-particles)
have $y_{kl} > y_{cut}$.
\end{enumerate}
The various jet algorithms differ in the precise definition of the resolution variable
and the recombination prescription.
The various recombination prescriptions are:
\begin{enumerate}
\item E-scheme:
\begin{eqnarray}
E_{ij} = E_i + E_j,
 & &
\vec{p}_{ij} = \vec{p}_i + \vec{p}_j.
\end{eqnarray}
The E-scheme conserves energy and momentum, but for massless particles $i$ and $j$ the recombined four-momentum is not massless.
\item E0-scheme:
\begin{eqnarray}
E_{ij} = E_i + E_j,
 & &
\vec{p}_{ij} = \frac{E_i + E_j}{\left| \vec{p}_i + \vec{p}_j \right|} \left( \vec{p}_i + \vec{p}_j \right).
\end{eqnarray}
The E0-scheme conserves energy, but not momentum. For massless particles $i$ and $j$ is the recombined four-momentum again massless.
\item P-scheme:
\begin{eqnarray}
E_{ij} = \frac{\left| \vec{p}_i + \vec{p}_j \right|}{E_i + E_j} \left( E_i + E_j \right) =
\left| \vec{p}_i + \vec{p}_j \right|,
 & &
\vec{p}_{ij} = \vec{p}_i + \vec{p}_j.
\end{eqnarray}
The P-scheme conserves momentum, but not energy. For massless particles $i$ and $j$ is the recombined four-momentum again massless,
as in the $E0$-scheme.
\end{enumerate}
For the Durham \cite{Stirling:1991ds}, Geneva \cite{Bethke:1991wk} and Jade-E0 \cite{Bartel:1986ua} jet algorithms the
resolution variables and the recombination prescriptions are defined as follows:
\begin{eqnarray}
\mbox{Durham:} & &
y_{ij} = \frac{2 \min(E_i^2, E_j^2) \left( 1 - \cos \theta_{ij} \right)}{Q^2},
 \;\;\;\mbox{E-scheme},
 \nonumber \\
\mbox{Geneva:} & &
y_{ij} = \frac{8}{9} \; \cdot \; \frac{2 E_i E_j \left( 1 - \cos \theta_{ij} \right)}{\left(E_i + E_j \right)^2},
 \;\;\;\mbox{E-scheme},
 \nonumber \\
\mbox{Jade-E0:} & &
y_{ij} = \frac{2 E_i E_j \left( 1 - \cos \theta_{ij} \right)}{Q^2},
 \;\;\;\mbox{E0-scheme},
\end{eqnarray}
where $E_i$ and $E_j$ are the energies of particles $i$ and $j$, and $\theta_{ij}$ is the angle
between $\vec{p}_i$ and $\vec{p}_j$.
$Q$ is the centre-of-mass energy.
The jet transition variable $y_{23}$ is the value of the jet resolution parameter
$y_{cut}$, for which the event changes from a three-jet to a two-jet configuration.
Similar, $y_{34}$ is defined as the value of the resolution parameter, where the event changes from a four-jet to a
three-jet configuration.
The three-jet rate is related to the jet transition variables $y_{23}$ and $y_{34}$:
\begin{eqnarray}
R_3(y_{cut}) & = &
 \int\limits_{y_{cut}}^1 dy_{23} \frac{d\sigma}{dy_{23}}
 -
 \int\limits_{y_{cut}}^1 dy_{34} \frac{d\sigma}{dy_{34}}.
\end{eqnarray}
The Cambridge algorithm \cite{Dokshitzer:1997in} distinguishes an ordering variable $v_{ij}$ and a resolution variable $y_{ij}$.
The Cambridge algorithm is defined as follows:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Select a pair of objects $(p_i,p_j)$ with the minimal value of the ordering
variable $v_{ij}$.
\item If $y_{ij} < y_{cut}$ they are combined, one recomputes the relevant
values of the ordering variable and goes back to the first step.
\item If $y_{ij} \geq y_{cut}$ and $E_i < E_j$ then $i$ is defined as
a resolved jet and deleted from the table.
\item Repeat until only one object is left in the table. This object is
also defined as a jet and clustering is finished.
\end{enumerate}
As ordering variable
\begin{eqnarray}
v_{ij} = 2\left( 1 - \cos \theta_{ij} \right)
\end{eqnarray}
is used. The resolution variable is as in the Durham algorithm
\begin{eqnarray}
y_{ij} & = & \frac{2 \min(E_i^2, E_j^2) \left( 1 - \cos \theta_{ij} \right)}{Q^2}
\end{eqnarray}
and the E-scheme is used as recombination prescription.

\section{Perturbative expansion}
\label{sec:perturbative}

The perturbative expansion of a differential distribution
for any infrared-safe observable $\cal O$ for the process
$e^+ e^- \rightarrow \mbox{3 jets}$
can be written up to NNLO as
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{{\cal O}^n}{\sigma_{tot}(\mu)} \frac{d\sigma(\mu)}{d{\cal O}} & = &
 \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi} \frac{{\cal O}^n d\bar{A}_{\cal O}(\mu)}{d{\cal O}}
 +
 \left( \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi} \right)^2 \frac{{\cal O}^n d\bar{B}_{\cal O}(\mu)}{d{\cal O}}
 +
 \left( \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi} \right)^3 \frac{{\cal O}^n d\bar{C}_{\cal O}(\mu)}{d{\cal O}}.
\end{eqnarray}
$\bar{A}_{\cal O}$ gives the LO result, $\bar{B}_{\cal O}$ the NLO correction and $\bar{C}_{\cal O}$ the NNLO correction.
The variable $n$ denotes the moment of the distribution.
Unless stated otherwise, the value $n=1$ is used as default.
$\sigma_{tot}$ denotes the total hadronic cross section calculated up to the relevant order.
The arbitrary renormalisation scale is denoted by $\mu$.
The $n$-th moment is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
 \left\langle {\cal O}^n \right\rangle
 & = &
 \frac{1}{\sigma_{tot}} \int {\cal O}^n \frac{d\sigma}{d{\cal O}} d{\cal O}.
\end{eqnarray}
In practise the numerical program computes the distribution
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{{\cal O}^n}{\sigma_{0}(\mu)} \frac{d\sigma(\mu)}{d{\cal O}} & = &
 \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi} \frac{{\cal O}^n dA_{\cal O}(\mu)}{d{\cal O}}
 +
 \left( \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi} \right)^2 \frac{{\cal O}^n dB_{\cal O}(\mu)}{d{\cal O}}
 +
 \left( \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi} \right)^3 \frac{{\cal O}^n dC_{\cal O}(\mu)}{d{\cal O}},
\end{eqnarray}
normalised to $\sigma_0$, which is the LO cross section for $e^+ e^- \rightarrow \mbox{hadrons}$,
instead of the normalisation to $\sigma_{tot}$.
There is a simple relation between the two distributions:
The functions $A_{\cal O}$, $B_{\cal O}$ and $C_{\cal O}$ are related to the functions
$\bar{A}_{\cal O}$, $\bar{B}_{\cal O}$ and $\bar{C}_{\cal O}$ by
\begin{eqnarray}
 \bar{A}_{\cal O} & = & A_{\cal O},
 \nonumber \\
 \bar{B}_{\cal O} & = & B_{\cal O} - A_{tot} A_{\cal O} ,
 \nonumber \\
 \bar{C}_{\cal O} & = & C_{\cal O} - A_{tot} B_{\cal O} - \left( B_{tot} - A_{tot}^2 \right) A_{\cal O} ,
 \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
A_{tot} & = & \frac{3(N_c^2-1)}{4 N_c},
 \nonumber \\
 B_{tot} & = &
 \frac{N_c^2-1}{8 N_c} \left[ \left( \frac{243}{4} - 44 \zeta_3 \right) N_c + \frac{3}{4 N_c}
                             + \left( 8 \zeta_3 - 11 \right) N_f \right].
 \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
$N_c$ denotes the number of colours and $N_f$ the number of light quark flavours.
$A_{tot}$ and $B_{tot}$ are obtained from the perturbative expansion of $\sigma_{tot}$ \cite{Dine:1979qh,Chetyrkin:1979bj,Celmaster:1979xr}:
\begin{eqnarray}
 \sigma_{tot} & = &
 \sigma_0 \left( 1 + \frac{\alpha_s}{2\pi} A_{tot}
                   + \left( \frac{\alpha_s}{2\pi} \right)^2 B_{tot}
                   + {\cal O}(\alpha_s^3) \right).
\end{eqnarray}
The perturbative calculation of the inclusive hadronic cross section $\langle \sigma \r^{(tot)}$ is actually known
to ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3)$ \cite{Gorishnii:1991vf,Surguladze:1990tg}, although we need here only the coefficients up to
${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$.

It is sufficient to calculate the functions $\bar{A}_{\cal O}$, $\bar{B}_{\cal O}$ and $\bar{C}_{\cal O}$
for a fixed renormalisation scale $\mu_0$, which can be taken conveniently to be equal to the
centre-of-mass energy: $\mu_0=Q$.
The scale variation can be restored from the renormalisation group equation
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{RGE_alpha_s}
 \mu^2 \frac{d}{d\mu^2} \left( \frac{\alpha_S}{2\pi} \right)
 & = &
 - \frac{1}{2} \beta_0 \left( \frac{\alpha_S}{2\pi} \right)^2
 - \frac{1}{4} \beta_1 \left( \frac{\alpha_S}{2\pi} \right)^3
 - \frac{1}{8} \beta_2 \left( \frac{\alpha_S}{2\pi} \right)^4
 + {\cal O}(\alpha_s^5),
 \\
 \beta_0 & = & \frac{11}{3} C_A - \frac{4}{3} T_R N_f,
 \nonumber \\
 \beta_1 & = & \frac{34}{3} C_A^2 - 4 \left( \frac{5}{3} C_A + C_F \right) T_R N_f,
 \nonumber \\
 \beta_2 & = & \frac{2857}{54} C_A^3 - \left( \frac{1415}{27} C_A^2 + \frac{205}{9} C_A C_F - 2 C_F^2 \right) T_R N_f
             + \left( \frac{158}{27} C_A + \frac{44}{9} C_F \right) T_R^2 N_f^2.
 \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
The colour factors are defined as usual by
\begin{eqnarray}
 C_A = N_c,
 \;\;\;
 C_F = \frac{N_c^2-1}{2 N_c},
 \;\;\;
 T_R = \frac{1}{2}.
\end{eqnarray}
The values of the functions $\bar{A}_{\cal O}$, $\bar{B}_{\cal O}$ and $\bar{C}_{\cal O}$
at a scale $\mu$ are then obtained from the ones at the scale $\mu_0$ by
\begin{eqnarray}
 \bar{A}_{\cal O}(\mu) & = & \bar{A}_{\cal O}(\mu_0),
 \nonumber \\
 \bar{B}_{\cal O}(\mu) & = & \bar{B}_{\cal O}(\mu_0) + \frac{1}{2} \beta_0 \ln\left(\frac{\mu^2}{\mu_0^2}\right) \bar{A}_{\cal O}(\mu_0),
 \nonumber \\
 \bar{C}_{\cal O}(\mu) & = & \bar{C}_{\cal O}(\mu_0) + \beta_0 \ln\left(\frac{\mu^2}{\mu_0^2}\right) \bar{B}_{\cal O}(\mu_0)
                           + \frac{1}{4} \left[ \beta_1 + \beta_0^2 \ln\left(\frac{\mu^2}{\mu_0^2}\right) \right] \ln\left(\frac{\mu^2}{\mu_0^2}\right) \bar{A}_{\cal O}(\mu_0).
\end{eqnarray}
Finally, an approximate solution of eq.~(\ref{RGE_alpha_s}) for $\alpha_s$ is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
 \frac{\alpha_s(\mu)}{2\pi}
 & = &
 \frac{2}{\beta_0 L}
 \left\{
         1 - \frac{\beta_1}{\beta_0^2} \frac{\ln L}{L}
         + \frac{\beta_1^2}{\beta_0^4 L^2}
           \left[ \left( \frac{1}{2} - \ln L \right)^2
                  + \frac{\beta_0 \beta_2}{\beta_1^2}
                  - \frac{5}{4}
           \right]
 \right\},
\end{eqnarray}
where $L=\ln(\mu^2/\Lambda^2)$.

The function $C_{\cal O}$ can be decomposed into six colour pieces
\begin{eqnarray}
 C_{\cal O} & = &
 \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c}
 \left[
        N_c^2 C_{\cal O}^{lc}
      + C_{\cal O}^{sc}
      + \frac{1}{N_c^{2}} C_{\cal O}^{ssc}
      + N_f N_c C_{\cal O}^{nf}
      + \frac{N_f}{N_c} C_{\cal O}^{nfsc}
      + N_f^2 C_{\cal O}^{nfnf}
 \right].
\end{eqnarray}
In addition, there are singlet contributions, which arise from interference terms of amplitudes, where
the electro-weak boson couples to two different fermion lines.
These singlet contributions are expected to be numerically
small \cite{Dixon:1997th,vanderBij:1988ac,Garland:2002ak}
and neglected in the present calculation.
We define
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{def_colour_factors}
 & &
  \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{lc} = \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c} N_c^2 C_{\cal O}^{lc},
 \;\;\;
  \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{sc} = \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c} C_{\cal O}^{sc},
 \;\;\;
  \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{ssc} = \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c} \frac{1}{N_c^{2}} C_{\cal O}^{ssc},
 \\
 & &
  \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{nf} = \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c} N_f N_c C_{\cal O}^{nf},
 \;\;\;
  \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{nfsc} = \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c} \frac{N_f}{N_c} C_{\cal O}^{nfsc},
 \;\;\;
  \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{nfnf} = \frac{\left( N_c^2-1 \right)}{8 N_c} N_f^2 C_{\cal O}^{nfnf},
 \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
e.g. the function $\left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{lc}$ includes the colour factors.

The functions $A_{\cal O}$, $B_{\cal O}$ and $C_{\cal O}$ are calculated for a fixed renormalisation scale equal
to the centre-of-mass energy: $\mu_0=Q$.
They depend only on the value of the observable ${\cal O}$.
Since only QCD corrections with non-singlet quark couplings are taken into account and
singlet contributions to $C_{\cal O}$ are neglected, the functions
$A_{\cal O}$, $B_{\cal O}$ and $C_{\cal O}$ do not depend on electro-weak couplings.

\section{Numerical results}
\label{sec:num}

In this section I present the numerical results for the event shape variables and jet rates at
next-to-next-to-leading order.
All results have been obtained by numerical Monte-Carlo integration.
The Monte-Carlo integration introduces a statistical error, which will be quoted with all results.
For the infrared singularities a hybrid method between subtraction and slicing has been used.
Unless stated otherwise all results have been obtained with the slicing parameter
\begin{eqnarray}
 \eta & = & \frac{s_{min}}{Q^2} = 10^{-5}.
\end{eqnarray}
It should be noted that the slicing procedure introduces in addition a systematic error.
The size of this error can be estimated by varying the slicing parameter $\eta$.
However, lowering the slicing parameter will increase the statistical error.
A practical criteria is to require that the variation due to the slicing parameter is smaller than
the statistical error, with the possible exception for the boundaries of the distributions.
Imposing this criteria $\eta=10^{-5}$ turns out to be a good compromise between accuracy and efficiency.
The boundaries of the distributions close to the two-jet region deserve special attention:
There the value of the observable is comparable to $\eta$ and one expects sizable corrections.
I will discuss the dependence on the slicing parameter in the close-to-two-jet region
in detail for a few examples.
\\
\\
In a first series of plots I show the comparison of the NNLO results with the NLO and LO results
for the LEP I centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{Q^2}=m_Z$ with $\alpha_S=0.118$.
The results for the event shape variables thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening, total jet broadening, C parameter
and three-to-two jet transition variable $y_{23}$ are shown in figs.~\ref{fig_thrust} to \ref{fig_y23}.
For each of these observable the distribution weighted by the observable and normalised to the total
hadronic cross section is shown, e.g. for thrust the distribution
\begin{eqnarray}
 \frac{1-T}{\sigma} \frac{d\sigma}{d(1-T)}
\end{eqnarray}
is shown.
The corresponding plots for the jet rates for the jet algorithms of Durham, Geneva, Jade-E0 and Cambridge
are shown in figs.~\ref{fig_jet_rate_durham} to \ref{fig_jet_rate_cambridge}.
In all these plots is
the leading-order prediction shown in light blue, the next-to-leading-order prediction is shown in pink and the
next-to-next-to-leading order prediction is shown in dark blue.
The bands give the range for the theoretical prediction obtained from varying the renormalisation scale
from $\mu=Q/2$ to $\mu=2 Q$.
In addition the experimental data points \cite{Heister:2003aj} from the Aleph experiment (where available) are also
shown in these plot.
Note that the theory predictions in these plots are the pure perturbative predictions. Power corrections or soft gluon resummation
effects are not included in these results.

Numerical results for centre-of-mass energies different from $\sqrt{Q^2}=m_Z$ are also easily obtained.
As an example I show in fig.~\ref{fig_thrust_lep2} the thrust distribution at centre-of-mass energies
of $\sqrt{Q^2}= 91.2\mbox{GeV}$, $133 \mbox{GeV}$, $161 \mbox{GeV}$, $172 \mbox{GeV}$, $183 \mbox{GeV}$, $189 \mbox{GeV}$, $200 \mbox{GeV}$, $206 \mbox{GeV}$,
again with experimental data points from the Aleph experiment.
As for the LEP II energies the bin size of the experimental data is rather large, I show in fig.~\ref{fig_thrust_lep2} the distribution
\begin{eqnarray}
 \frac{1}{\sigma} \frac{d\sigma}{d(1-T)}
\end{eqnarray}
without an additional factor $(1-T)$.

The most important results of this paper are the perturbative coefficients
$A_{\cal O}$, $B_{\cal O}$ and $C_{\cal O}$.
For the six event shape variables
(thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening, total jet broadening, $C$-parameter and the three-to-two jet transition variable)
the numerical values for the LO functions $A_{\cal O}$,
the NLO functions $B_{\cal O}$ and the NNLO functions $C_{\cal O}$, all weighted by ${\cal O}$, are given
in tables~\ref{table_thrust} to \ref{table_y23}.
The corresponding values for the jet rates defined according to the Durham, Geneva, Jade-E0 or Cambridge algorithms
are given in tables~\ref{table_jet_rate_durham} to \ref{table_jet_rate_cambridge}.
These values are obtained by Monte-Carlo integration and the statistical Monte-Carlo integration error is indicated in these tables.
The systematic error due to the slicing parameter $\eta$ is not included in these tables, but will be discussed below.
The values for the Durham jet rate have already been given in ref.~\cite{Weinzierl:2008iv}.
Due to a typo in the numerical program which was corrected after publication of \cite{Weinzierl:2008iv}
the corrected values are repeated here.

For the six event shape variables the LO functions $A_{\cal O}$,
the NLO functions $B_{\cal O}$ and the NNLO functions $C_{\cal O}$ are also shown in
in figs.~\ref{fig_thrust_ABC} to \ref{fig_y23_ABC}.
The leading-order function $A_{\cal O}$ and the next-to-leading order function $B_{\cal O}$
can be computed with high precision and the graphs are shown simply with solid lines
in figs.~\ref{fig_thrust_ABC}-\ref{fig_y23_ABC}.
For the next-to-next-to-leading order function $C_{\cal O}$ the Monte-Carlo integration errors
are typically at the per cent level, and this function is shown with errorbars corresponding to the Monte-Carlo
integration errors in figs.~\ref{fig_thrust_ABC}-\ref{fig_y23_ABC}.

The NNLO function $C_{\cal O}$ can be split up into
the contributions from the individual colour factors
\begin{eqnarray}
 \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{lc},
 \;\;\;
 \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{sc},
 \;\;\;
 \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{ssc},
 \;\;\;
 \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{nf},
 \;\;\;
 \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{nfsc},
 \;\;\;
 \left. C_{\cal O} \right|_{nfnf}
\end{eqnarray}
defined in eq.~(\ref{def_colour_factors}).
For the event shape variables the contributions from the individual colour factors to $C_{\cal O}$ are given
in tables~\ref{table_thrust_colour} to \ref{table_y23_colour}.
For the jet rates the contributions from the individual colour factors to $C_{\cal O}$ are given
in tables~\ref{table_jet_rate_durham_colour} to \ref{table_jet_rate_geneva_colour}.
In addition the individual colour contributions are  plotted for the six event shape variables in
figs.~\ref{fig_thrust_C_col}-\ref{fig_y23_C_col}.

In fig.~\ref{fig_thrustlog_ABC}-\ref{fig_thrustlog_C_col_eta}
the results for the thrust distribution are compared with the calculation of Becher and Schwartz
based on soft-collinear effective theory \cite{Becher:2008cf}.
The leading-order, next-to-leading-order and next-to-next-to-leading order coefficients
$A_{1-T}$, $B_{1-T}$ and $C_{1-T}$ are compared in fig.~\ref{fig_thrustlog_ABC}.
The individual colour factors of the coefficient $C_{1-T}$ are compared in
fig.~\ref{fig_thrustlog_C_col}.
The effective theory gives a good description of the thrust distribution for small values of $(1-T)$.
For values of $(1-T)$ close to $1$ the effective theory is not valid and deviations from the perturbative result
can be seen.
On the other hand the perturbative result obtained from Monte-Carlo integration has its limitation
through the slicing parameter introduced to handle the infrared singularities.
The deviations of the numerical Monte-Carlo results for the $C_{1-T}$ coefficient from the SCET
results for values of $(1-T) < 0.003$ are an artefact of the slicing parameter.
In figs.~\ref{fig_thrustlog_ABC} and \ref{fig_thrustlog_C_col} the value $\eta=10^{-5}$ was used for the slicing
parameter.
To study the situation in more detail, I show in fig.~\ref{fig_thrustlog_C_col_eta} the variation of the
numerical result for the leading colour factor of $C_{1-T}$ with the slicing parameter $\eta$.
The numerical results for $\eta=10^{-5}$, $\eta=10^{-7}$ and $\eta=10^{-9}$ are plotted.
For smaller values of $\eta$ the SCET result is approached.

As a further example I also show the dependence on the slicing parameter $\eta$ for
the colour factor $N_c^2$ for
the next-to-next-to-leading order coefficient $C_{y_{23}}$
for the three-to-two jet transition distribution in fig.~\ref{fig_y23_C_col_eta}.
In this plot the numerical results for $\eta=10^{-5}$, $\eta=10^{-7}$ and $\eta=10^{-9}$ are shown.

Fig.~\ref{fig_comparison} compares the results of this calculation to the updated ones from
ref.~\cite{GehrmannDeRidder:2007hr}.
For the six event shape distributions one observes good agreement with the exception
of the three-to-two jet transition distribution at very small values of $y_{23}$.
The discrepancy at small values of $y_{23}$ can be traced back to the colour factor $N_c^2$
and could have an explanation in terms of a systematic error due to the slicing parameter.
The study of the $\eta$-dependence in fig.~\ref{fig_y23_C_col_eta} gives hints in this direction,
but does not give a conclusive answer. Although in fig.~\ref{fig_y23_C_col_eta} the three results
for $\eta=10^{-5}$, $\eta=10^{-7}$ and $\eta=10^{-9}$ are consistent with each other, using
$\eta=10^{-9}$ instead of $\eta=10^{-5}$ for the comparison with ref.~\cite{GehrmannDeRidder:2007hr}
would reduce the discrepancy significantly (but also enlarge the errorbars).
Given the complexity of the calculation the agreement of the two numerical programs
in all other distributions is remarkable.

\section{Conclusions}
\label{sec:conclusions}

In this article I reported on the NNLO calculation of observables associated to three-jet events
in electron-positron annihilation.
I provided NNLO results for the event shape variables
thrust, heavy jet mass, wide jet broadening,
total jet broadening, C parameter and the Durham three-to-two jet transition variable.
In addition the NNLO results for the jet rates defined in the schemes of Durham, Geneva,
Jade-E0 and Cambridge were given.
The results of this paper will be useful for an extraction of $\alpha_s$ from three-jet quantities.

\section{Calculation of the thrust for a single parton event}
\label{sec:thrust_algo}

For the event shape variable thrust and the ones related to it, it is necessary to determine
the maximum
\begin{eqnarray}
 \max\limits_{\vec{n}} \sum\limits_j \left| \vec{p}_j \cdot \vec{n} \right|
\end{eqnarray}
over all orientations of the unit vector $\vec{n}$.
The sum runs over all final state particles $j$.
For the NNLO calculation we have either $3$, $4$ or $5$ partons in the final state.
Of course there are numerical algorithms which can be used to find a local maximum.
However the computational cost for such a minimisation/maximisation is comparable
to the cost for the matrix elements and therefore not negligible.
Furthermore it is non-trivial to ensure that the found maximum is actually the global maximum.

There is a better way to calculate thrust and the thrust axis for a small number of final state particles.
This method finds the exact global maximum in $2^{N-1}-1$ steps for $N$ final state particles.
Let us define $N$ signs $s_j \in \{-1,1\}$ by
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{def_signs_for_thrust}
 \vec{p}_j \cdot \vec{n} & = & s_j \left| \vec{p}_j \cdot \vec{n} \right|.
\end{eqnarray}
Of course the correct values for the signs $s_j$ are only known once the thrust axis $\vec{n}$ is known.
But we know in advance that the $N$-tuple $(s_1,s_2,...,s_N)$ will be one configuration out of the
$2^N$ possible ones.
We can now step over all $2^N$ possibilities $(s_1,s_2,...,s_N)$.
For a given $N$-tuple $(s_1,s_2,...,s_N)$ we define
\begin{eqnarray}
 \vec{P} & = & s_1 \vec{p}_1 + s_2 \vec{p_2} + ... + s_N \vec{p}_N.
\end{eqnarray}
We then have
\begin{eqnarray}
 \max\limits_{\vec{n}} \sum\limits_j \left| \vec{p}_j \cdot \vec{n} \right|
 & = &
 \max\limits_{\vec{n}} \sum\limits_j s_j \vec{p}_j \cdot \vec{n}
 =
 \max\limits_{\vec{n}} \; \vec{P} \cdot \vec{n}
\end{eqnarray}
This expression is maximised for $\vec{n}=\vec{P}/|\vec{P}|$.
Next, one checks if the $N$-tuple $(s_1,s_2,...,s_N)$ is actually allowed by verifying eq.~(\ref{def_signs_for_thrust})
for all $j=1,...,N$.
The maximum is then given by the maximum value obtained from all allowed $N$-tuples.
It is actually sufficient to restrict the search to $2^{N-1}-1$ possibilities, since thrust is invariant under
\begin{eqnarray}
\vec{n} & \rightarrow & - \vec{n},
\end{eqnarray}
and the two cases where all signs are equal can be excluded due to momentum conservation.
With this algorithm we have to check for five-parton final states $15$ configurations to find the global maximum,
whereas for four-parton final states $7$ configurations have to be checked.
For the case of three massless particles in the final state the algorithm does not need to be used, since there
is a general formula for the thrust axis:
The thrust axis is given in this case by the direction of the most energetic particle \cite{Banfi:2000si}.

Inside Digital Media's Great Upheaval in 2018, From Layoffs to Unionized Newsrooms
Many publications changed ownership this year
2018 was a tumultuous year for media. Illustration: Dianna McDougall; Sources: Getty Images
By Sara Jerde
It was a tumultuous, sometimes painful, year for a lot of publishers and the talented journalists employed by them. There were multiple layoffs throughout the industry, and entire media outlets were shuttered.
Many publications changed ownership this year, and other brands greatly reduced their print product—or eliminated them altogether.
Multiple publications made moves, though, to diversify their revenue streams and launched paywalls, moved deeper into experiential events and launched into the licensing business. But what's left looming as we head into the next year? Are these efforts enough to keep the lights on?
Here is some of the upheaval that media saw in 2018.
Slate employees voted to unionize with Writer's Guild of America, East.
Vox Media laid off about 50 employees in February, representing about 5 percent of the workforce. The cuts were mostly seen at Vox properties that included Racked, Curbed and SB Nation.
Staffers with Onion, Inc. voted to unionize with Writer's Guild of America, East.
Editorial staff with The New Republic voted to unionize.
Gizmodo Media Group avoided layoffs by offering buyouts, which about 44 staffers took advantage of in June. Meanwhile, editorial staff of The New Yorker voted to unionize with The NewsGuild of New York.
New York Daily News cut half of its editorial staff in July. The Tribune Publishing company was told in an unsigned email from the parent company that the cuts were being made "to capture the opportunities ahead and address the significant financial challenges we have faced for years."
Good Media Group—which includes digital media properties like GOOD and Upworthy—let about 30 people go.
The Outline also cut an estimated six staffers in September.
BuzzFeed laid off a "handful" of its employees in September as it scaled down its podcasting efforts. At the time, The Wall Street Journal reported that the publisher was shifting resources away from audio to prioritize original shows.
Panoply laid off its editorial staff after announcing that it was changing direction and would no longer be producing original podcasts.
After a round of layoffs last year, Refinery29 laid off another 40 employees in October. Executives pointed to their efforts to build diverse revenue streams, including live events, as promising areas of growth but said projected revenue this year will fall about 5 percent short of their goal.
After almost four years, Lenny Letter, the newsletter turned ecommerce company turned tour around the U.S. dreamed up by Lena Dunhamand Jenni Konner, shut down in October. A direct reason wasn't given, but the founders wrote at the time that the change "allows for growth and a shift in perspectives—ours and yours."
After relaunching digital media company Super Deluxe about three years ago, WarnerMedia announced that it would shutter it. The studio produced scripted and unscripted programming, as well as branded campaigns. Turner said in a statement at the time that there were changes to the "social and mobile-first ecosystem" as well as "duplication" within their businesses.
After seven years, fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson announced that she would shut down her site, Rookie Mag. In a lengthy post to readers, Gevinson wrote that the online teen magazine was no longer "financially sustainable." She said she had explored selling to new owners and launching a subscription model, but that she was ultimately "unable to proceed with any of them."
At the very end of the month, Mic News laid off most of its employees, totaling to more than 80 people. Later in the day, executives announced that the company would be sold to Bustle Digital Group. The looming cancellation of the publisher's Facebook Watch program, Mic Dispatch, was thought to have led to company's dire financial situation.
Editorial staffers from Ziff Davis-owned media companies, including PC Magazine, Mashable, Geek.com and AskMen, voted to unionize.
New York magazine employees, including print and web staff, voted to unionize with The NewsGuild of New York.
Newly unionized Slate employees nearly unanimously voted to go on strike over contract negotiations.
After two years of negotiations, unionized Law360 employees landed their first contract with management.

It is an overwhelming claim that E-books are the future and so with this book I dipped my toe in the water. Call me old-fashioned though but I would always favour a physical book. Whereas E-books are far cheaper and quicker to produce there is something permanent about physical books and are a hit with people who love to collect autographs. I know from my experience of organising On The Buses events that fans love to have books signed by celebrities with a connection to a books subject matter. Time will tell if I will publish solely in E-book format in the future but I do prefer hardback books.

Everything We Know about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake
ByTallis Vale Posted on March 15, 2018 April 8, 2020 Updated on April 8, 2020
Video games have changed the way youngsters and even some adults spend their leisure time. They allow players to express special abilities through characters in the video game. Moreover, games such as Final Fantasy 7 include some level of AI in non-player characters, which makes the game enjoyable even when played by a single player. Furthermore, Video games have come a long way since the days of text-based computer games. Today, 3D and HD graphics technologies make it possible to render science-fiction story-lines in a more realistic manner. In that regard, we are going to discuss Everything We Know about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
According to a Square Enix job listing, the game is still far off from being released. The job listing states that the company is searching for level planners for Final Fantasy 7 Remake to help it increase its quality and meet expectations from fans. Siliconera was the first to spot the ad and translate it to reveal the company's intention to gather a larger core development team, which will help it take the game's quality a notch higher. The statement from the company loosely translated to, "We have decided that the best way to meet expectations from fans is to raise the quality of the game a step higher."
"In that regard, we will have to add a new group of members to the current Final Fantasy VII Remake development team. The new members will form a core group of battlefield planners, level planners, engineers, designers, and fill other jobs roles needed to meet the production needs of a big title." The loosely translated statement read. However, Siliconera said it's still worth noting from the job listing, that this isn't a last minute rush to get a team to deal with a huge and increasing workload. The new team will be encouraged to contribute in the development of the game's characters and help to brainstorm level designs for the game's recreated locations.
Yosuke Matsuda who is Square Enix's president said we should expect to see the release in about three year. Which means the game is clearly a long way off for those who were eager to get hold of it. Moreover, Square made an announcement last year that from then henceforth, they were going to develop the title "internally." Previously, they worked with CyberConnect2, a studio they had collaborated with. The decision according to Naoki Hamaguchi was to help them take control of everything and enable them adhere to a strict schedule.
Fans can therefore rest easy knowing that they are going to get a high quality video. There is no rush to release the title, and all the studio cares about right now is the quality of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. We believe that's a step in the right direction; the advancement of the video graphics technology means that there are more video games that render more realistically on our screens. It therefore means that for the big titles to stand out, they need to do more than create satisfactory video game content. While the remake was first shown at E3 2015, we didn't get to see it during the E3 2017 event. We therefore hope they have something for us in the coming E3 2018.

Turbonilla newcombei is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.

Description
The shell has a regularly, broadly conic shape. Its length measures 5.4 mm. It is white on the posterior half and light brown on the anterior half of the exposed portion of the whorl. The base of the shell is white. The whorls of the protoconch are decollated in all the studied specimens. The seven whorls of the teleoconch are somewhat overhanging. They are decidedly contracted toward the periphery from the anterior fifth of the exposed part. They are almost flattened posterior to this. They are closely appressed at the summit, and separated by strongly marked sutures. There are about 18 ribs upon all the turns. These ribs are almost vertical, moderately elevated, rounded in the middle, decidedly flattened and widened at the summit, disappearing at the periphery. The
intercostal spaces are not depressed below the general surface. They are a little wider than the ribs. The periphery and the moderately long base of the shell are well rounded, smooth, excepting the fine spiral striation which covers the entire surface of the shell. The aperture is subquadrate. The posterior angle is acute. The outer lip is thin, showing the color bands within. The columella is slender, oblique, and slightly revolute.

Distribution
The type specimen was found in the Pacific Ocean off Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Better understand the scope of gun violence in the region and the communities most affected
Identify resources within our communities and best practices in gun violence prevention, intervention, and aftercare
Identify gaps and challenges to reducing gun violence and community concerns
Explore potential solutions our communities would like to see to reduce gun violence.
The survey was designed to gather the community's thoughts, experiences and perspectives around gun violence. For context, gun violence refers to all types of gun violence, including suicide; family, domestic partner, and intimate partner violence; and community violence.
To complete the Gun Violence Reduction Survey, visit the Engage San Diego County site and click on the orange gun violence reduction project logo. You can also go directly to the survey at http://survey.sogolytics.com/survey1.aspx?k=SsRRRQVQsYWsPsPsP&lang=0.

The H.C. Porter Gallery is located at 1216 Washington Street in the historic downtown district of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Vicksburg is located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River about 40 miles west of Jackson, Mississippi's capital city. With exciting revitalization, beautiful architecture, cool interesting restaurants, and blending of our present day with our nation's civil war national park history, Vicksburg is one of Mississippi most popular tourist destinations. Historic Highway 61, as well as sections of the Great River Road National Parkway and the Mississippi Blues Trail, run right in front of the 19th century four-story building which is now my home and signature gallery.
In a recent project I collaborated with the Vicksburg National Military Park to create a historic Civil War painting underscoring my love of history, commitment to the city of Vicksburg, and my continued narrative of our shared humanity. Determined is the first in an annual series of my paintings that will commemorate the Civil War. The first image I selected to paint is of Sergeant Joseph Dore, 7th New York State Militia. The VNMP will be creating educational information around the piece. By clicking on the link provided, info, art, and merchandise are also available.
Thank you to those who have given so much support to my traveling exhibition, Blues at Home: Mississippi's Living Blues Legends! My environmental portraits featuring 31 of Mississippi's living blues legends have combined art and music in an exciting way, often allowing the musicians to be present at the openings and share their personal Blues history creating memorable nights for all! Also, a selection of paintings and voices from my Backyards and Beyond: Mississippians and Their Stories documenting the first year after Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, can be experienced permanently at the Ground Zero Hurricane Museum in Waveland, MS.
I paint this state because I love this state and I hope it shows! Thank you for visiting my website and I hope you find an image that inspires you!

What 'Girls' TV Show Taught Me About Life And Love
HBO's hit series Girls offers many lessons about both love and life to all of their viewers. Here's what it's taught me throughout the years.
If you're into independent dramedies, you've definitely watched HBO's Girls. It's hard not to fall in love with a show that has so much raw emotion, great jokes and Lena Dunham as the main character.
The show follows Hannah, Shoshanna, Marney and Jessa as they navigate the years together just after college. Each one of them brings their own spice to life and unique character attributes, but the way they portray life as a twenty-something is so relatable that it's almost criminal. These are just a few of the love and life lessons I've learned from the show.
1. Friendship isn't always beautiful
Each of the girls has a hard time maintaining their friendships with one another. Hannah feels abandoned by her friends, even if she can be incredibly needy, and they all fight with each other like it's a necessity for the friendship. This goes to show that, just like any other type of relationship, friendships take work, compassion and a little bit of forgiveness.
2. Trust is hard to come by
The girls of Girls aren't exactly the most trustworthy crowd. Marney dates Shosh's ex, Jessa and Adam get together behind Hannah's back and even Hannah tries to get with Shosh's ex when he picks her up after she's left stranded outside of the city.
They all break girl code, on more than one occasion, which just goes to show that trust and loyalty aren't really anyone's strong suit. We're all just trying to make it through life doing good by those we love, and every once in a while, we fail.
3. Love isn't a romantic comedy
Not one of the relationships in the show seems functional, and although I absolutely love Hannah and Adam, even when they were together, it was still a slow start with a less than romantic vibe.
Sure, some cute things were said during the course of all the relationships, but not one was portrayed as if it was straight out of love story.
This is perfect because it mimics real life to a T when it comes to how people get together, stay together and break up. It's not beautiful; it's not tidy; it's just love.
4. Even if life is great, things can still suck
When Hannah gets a job as a teacher and starts dating Fran, it's as if her life—for the first time in the show—is finally coming together in a stable way. The problem is that she still isn't all that happy.
The relationship and the job are both unfulfilling in a way that Hannah isn't even sure of until late in season 5, and it just goes to show that even if things are seemingly great, you can still be uncertain and unhappy about the path you're on. It's important to remember that happiness doesn't just come; it's something that must be fed to be achieved.
5. Your twenties are for finding yourself
The girls of Girls are all busy finding themselves, and hurt others and themselves in the process. This is so relatable because almost everyone who has been through their twenties knows that that's exactly what those years are for. You won't know who you are until you've had the chance to live independently for a little while, and Hannah and the gang portray that beautifully.
6. Nobody really knows what they're doing
The beauty about the show, and the fact that almost nobody in it knows what they're doing for very long, is that it shows viewers like myself that you won't have everything together in your twenties, and that's okay.
Your twenties are a time when you can find your passion, change your mind, find it again and continue on whatever path you want at the time. You have the luxury of being young and reckless while getting wiser and actually learning from all those life mistakes, leading you closer to your true you.
7. Now is the only time to do things
There's no point in waiting around for things to happen. You have to go out and make them happen instead of feeding your own fear of why it won't work or what's pitted against you in your venture.
When Ray wants to open his own coffee shop or when Shosh wants to work in Tokyo, they both have reservations, but they just do it. It's important to take the time to try and fail in life so that you can get that much closer to your bright future.
8. Be true to yourself
Even if it doesn't seem to work out, it's best to stay true to yourself and you will succeed. Hannah spends a lot of the first few seasons trying to write and eventually gives it up for a little while because of setbacks. When this happens, things go awry; near the end of season 5, she finally gets back to it and is the happiest we've ever seen her.
This is a good lesson that no matter what happens, persevering for what you want is one of the most important things you can do. Staying true to yourself and your passions is important in becoming happy, even if it doesn't make you as successful as you once thought it would.
9. Running away from your problems doesn't work
All of the girls tend to avoid their issues, which always have a way of catching up with them. This lesson is important to learn because, in real life, when you run away from your problems, it works the same way. Issues rarely dissolve themselves so when dealing with them, it's best to do so head on.
There are so many more lessons Girls can teach us, but these are the few that stick out in the best way possible. What lessons did the girls of Girls teach you?

An upbeat mood at practice today that concluded with an informal shooting contest between Joel Smith and a few of the team managers (but my digging stopped there so I don't know who won).
Much of the conversation as UW coach Lorenzo Romar greeted reporters from both the Seattle area and here centered on Jon Brockman, who is averaging 19.0 points and 13.5 rebounds in Pac-10 play, shooting 53.4 percent from the field.
"I don't think there is a player in this league having a better year, better impact, than Jon Brockman," Romar said. "He goes out and has 30 rebounds in two games and gets Player of the Week and I'm thinking 'this is unbelievable. Can he keep that up?' And then he goes out and gets 16 more last night.
From this vantage point, however, it doesn't seem like Brockman is really in that national conversation all that much.
Romar agreed that "you don't see him on SportsCenter because he's not a high-flier with fancy dunks" and doesn't "come out and hit 10 threes and they show all 10 on SportsCenter." But anyone who knows basketball, he said, appreciates Brockman.
The other theme of the day was how different Arizona is under Kevin O'Neill than under Lute Olson —- more emphasis on defense, a less free-wheeling offense with more set plays — and UW's hunger to avenge an 84-54 defeat here last season, the worst of the last five years.
"That's in the back of our minds," said UW forward Quincy Pondexter.
Romar said the lineup will stay the same, and everyone is healthy and ready to go.


During the early phases of a new business, most individuals who work for you are on the same level. However, once your business begins to produce consistent sales, you'll be able to pinpoint the most valuable employees. Employees that are recognized and rewarded tend to have less turnover than others. These individuals will need a promotion at some point, and you can prepare to promote your first candidate by using the tips in this guide.
Typically, the person who has worked for a company the longest gets a promotion. Many managers give employees with seniority a better position; as older employees, they fully understand the ropes and every business policy. However, in some cases, someone who has just started working for a company may meet the qualifications and skills that are needed for an important position. When this happens, you could give the first promotion to a young, qualified employee and a bonus to the employee who has seniority. This strategy will boost morale and prevent conflicts in the workplace.
According to The Hire Talent, "just as with external candidates, past performance is key to choosing who to promote. An employee may not have the exact experience you're looking for, but you should be able to recognize the skills, work habits, and other attributes you're looking for." For this task, you may need to research all of your employees if you don't spend a lot of time at the office. When you review an employee's past performance, there are a few key things that you must consider. The most important performance element to consider is skill. Without a proper skill set, productivity, efficiency, and sales will suffer after a candidate is promoted. The second thing that you must consider is each candidate's work habits. Dedication, drive, determination, and motivation influence work habits on a daily basis, so you must promote someone who is prompt and rarely takes time off from work.
Scenarios should be considered if you have a tough time picking someone to promote. Great scenarios can help you make a smart choice because you'll have opportunities to find out how each candidate will handle different situations. According to TrackVia, "employees that are actively seeking promotion will be prepared for whatever employers give to them. They will show that they can run multiple projects, show they can accept responsibility, and will get their work done according to goals." Your scenarios should be fair, and each situation must challenge everyone's skill set.
These tips can simplify the process of promoting your first employee. Immediately after someone is promoted, you'll need to fill the vacant position in a timely manner in order to keep your business stable.

Five Reasons March Is The Perfect Month For C&S Wholesale Grocers To Support The Conservation Fund
March 15, 2015|By | Partnerships
As stalwart fans of the outdoors, every year our Business Partnerships team looks forward to March, which marks the month when we can finally defrost, get our kids outside to play and enjoy all that nature has to offer. It also marks a time when we can march forward with C&S Wholesale Grocers, one of our long time climate champions, to address climate change and restore habitat for wildlife. As the largest food wholesaler in the United States, C&S Wholesale Grocers leads by example - reducing its carbon footprint when storing and shipping food—and that's making a difference in the air, on the ground and in our streams and rivers. So, to celebrate their climate leadership, we have five reasons why we think March is the perfect month for C&S Wholesale Grocers to support The Conservation Fund.
• March's Green Madness – It is easy to find a group of "sixteen sweet species" on reforestation projects. They include a range of threatened or endangered animals like Louisiana black bear, American alligator and long-eared bat. Click here to see sixteen species that C&S Wholesale Grocers has supported on the Mingo, Grande Cote, Red River and Upper Ouachita National Wildlife Refuges. These refuges all made it into the "four final refuges" that C&S Wholesale Grocers has supported through The Conservation Fund. By supporting the Fund for "eight elite years," C&S is planting enough trees to offset portions of its energy use and 100% of their employee's commute. This is similar to covering more than 317 basketball courts with trees each year.
• Spring Cleaning – Estimates are that as much as 50% of the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 50 years may be due to the effects of land use change. Furthermore, climate scientists estimate that between 12-17% of global greenhouse gas emissions are caused by deforestation. That means that C&S is doing the ultimate spring cleaning by helping to clean CO2 from the air by donating to Go Zero to plant trees to offset CO2 emissions
• The Ides of March – Perhaps Julius Caesar needed to beware March, but The Conservation Fund welcomes this month every year as we celebrate our heroes who commit to reduce their carbon emissions. This is because we know that supporting restoration on the US Fish and Wildlife National Fish and Wildlife Refuge System is also strengthening the local economy, cleaning the waterways and providing recreation opportunities across the nation.
• St. Patrick's Day – Many believe that St. Patrick's Day is the time to turn everything green. In its eight years as a partner, C&S has contributed to the planting of 57,323 trees at five wildlife refuges nationwide. This year's gift will offset the 2014 CO2 emissions associated with the electricity and propane use at eight facilities, including two corporate headquarters buildings. The donation also offsets the emissions associated with the annual roundtrip employee commutes for more than 1,600 employees.
• Spring Forward – Committing to sustainable operations means saving more than just daylight. It applies to operational retrofitting, transportation fuel savings and e-waste recycling. The company's carbon reductions made through The Conservation Fund over the past eight years add up, equating to taking 14,433 passenger vehicles off the road for a year, switching more than 1.7 million incandescent lamps to CFL bulbs.
"The concept behind The Fund's restoration projects – plant a tree and trap a ton – is simple and powerful at the same time," said Gina Goff, Senior Director of Community Involvement at C&S Wholesale Grocers. "Joining with The Conservation Fund and the companies and individuals from across our great nation supporting restoration is a meaningful way for us to make a difference for the environment."
So, while some may claim that March comes in like a lion and go out like a lamb, we think it begins rather pleasantly. And we think March is the perfect month to support The Conservation Fund's carbon offset program.
So, from the carbon team, Happy 30th Anniversary to The Conservation Fund - we are honored to contribute to the mission.

It Was Always Going to End in Beers
March 13, 2017 March 13, 2017 stephenmcalpine
Well it was always going to end in beers.
And tears.
The Bible Society's recent teaming up with the Coopers beer company to promote 200 years of the Bible Society in Australia was always destined for a hangover.
That hangover has come, and just as all hangovers are, in hindsight, the inevitable result of an action in which one did not consider the consequences, so too this one.
Coopers' decision to put a Bible verse on each carton of their Premium Light beer was not the problem per se, but hey, as happens when you mix your drinks, one thing led to another and now it's gotten awkward. And not surprisingly, it's gotten awkward about sex.
Sex, alcohol and religion. Who would have thunk?
But the hangover has not come from where one might expect it, the teetotaling more fundamentalist Chrisitan types, no siree. A different type of fundamentalist has raised their voice – again, the sexual fundamentalist.
For unbeknownst to Coopers, the Bible Society dared to bring two opponents on the same sex marriage debate, Tim Wilson and Andrew Hastie, together for a spirited (friendly) video debate about the pros and cons of this position. And they washed it down with a Coopers Premium Light, the very beer promoting the Bible Society.
Game on. First that champion of diversity, Greens MP Christine Milne got in on the act, accusing Coopers of pandering to homophobia, despite the fact that Tim Wilson is a gay man in a same sex relationship and pro SSM, and who seemed extremely comfortable having a civil discussion about all things civil partnership and marriage. But hey, why let the victim speak for himself?
Then the ABC got hold of it. Enough said.
And then the twitter storm began, with calls for boycotts (sooo 2016!), and the like. Coopers, of course, is scrabbling around for a way out of this and has, as is the depressingly routine manner in such matters, released a statement, avowing its diversity credentials. Time was Coopers diversity credentials were the aforementioned Premium Light, Pale Ale, Sparking Ale, and Dark Ale etc. A very diverse crowd. But their latest statement reveals Coopers diversity is actually far lighter than their beer, so light in fact as to have no flavour at all.
For Coopers has released the usual "I have sinned!"mea culpa demanded by the fundamentalists:
We never intended to…blah, blah, blah. We always value blah, blah, blah… which is all just longhand for saying, "Please, please keep drinking our beer."
Hotels in trendy inner city Melbourne and Sydney have assured their supporters that they will no longer be stocking Coopers in light of the video, despite the fact Coopers had nothing to do with it. Seems a gay man and a straight man can't have a drink together these days without someone thinking something is amiss.
What will Coopers do? It's obvious. They will distance themselves from The Bible Society and pull the bible verse campaign in toto. That's how diversity works in our hard secular progressive framework. Shout hard, long, loud; pull out some fake news (cos that's the crowd Trump got the idea from), and voila, mission accomplished. The opposing argument is shot down, people with a different opinion shut down, and a company with a vested interest in the bottom line is henceforth scared to raise a glass, or its head, for the sake of true diversity. Wins all round eh?
Shame on the shouty crowd. Shame – anticipatory at least – on Coopers for playing the coward.
But it's also a wake up call. A wake up call for those who think that somehow there is any room for a middle ground debate to be had in this country on the new sexual ethics. That somehow we can have a light discussion about what the sexual fundamentalists will continue to go to the barricades for – complete acceptance of their position and complete silence of the opponents. The sexual fundamentalists have filled the social space with enough noise, light and colour, to ensure that true diversity in the public square never happens. The conversation in the public square is over. And probably over in a few pubs too.
And tomorrow? Tomorrow Coopers will wake up with no respect for the Bible Society, and the Bible Society will be nursing a huge hangover, wondering how one thing led to another and it ended up not getting its calls answered.

otherendup says:
When have we ever looked to fundamentalism decide the future or possibility of civil/"light" discussion?
For example, see long-time marriage equality proponent Rodney Croome's confusion over all the Cooper's kerfuffle – and the heat he has taken from many fundies on the pro-equality side.
There are plenty of people on all sides of the debate that are open to and excited about the possibility of a meaningful and respectful conversation. It's just not that interesting for those addicted to sensationalism.
I hope you're right Matt. I do think that those voices will get drowned out though. I admire Tim Wilson greatly, so I am astonished at the number of people speaking for him instead of allowing him to speak for himself here.
I suggest we all go buy a Coopers beer or two and drown out those sexual fundamentalists who can't let two blokes have a beer and a civil chat… a clever bit of promotion for The Bible Society, I must say! "The Bible who?" one asks. "That bunch who had a gay and a straight discussing marriage in front of a camera with an open Bible…"
Yeah – that's exactly right. More people would have heard of Coopers prior to this than the Bible Society

Although I'm not on the same page as Hastie and co, I was deeply saddened that their right to speak has been voided by the shouters. But there's the complication of mixing long term donors Coopers, a commercial venture with a conversation about values. I suspect that if Coopers had supported a conversation about a pro view, then we might not be commenting here at all.

L.M. Montgomery's Complete Journals: The Ontario Years, 1922–1925
L.M. Montgomery's Complete Journals: The Ontario Years, 1922–1925 is an unabridged and annotated edition of L.M. Montgomery's journals that she kept from ages forty-seven to fifty-one, while living in Leaskdale, Ontario. Featuring a preface and annotations by Jen Rubio, the book was published by Rock's Mills Press as a trade paperback in May 2018. It is the sixth volume of Montgomery's unabridged journals, preceded by The Complete Journals of L.M. Montgomery: The PEI Years, 1889–1900 (2012) and The Complete Journals of L.M. Montgomery: The PEI Years, 1901–1911 (2013), edited by Mary Henley Rubio and Elizabeth Hillman Waterston, as well as L.M. Montgomery's Complete Journals: The Ontario Years, 1911–1917 (2016), L.M. Montgomery's Complete Journals: The Ontario Years, 1918–1921 (2017), and L.M. Montgomery's Complete Journals: The Ontario Years, 1926–1929 (2017), and followed by L.M. Montgomery's Complete Journals: The Ontario Years, 1930–1933 (2019), all edited by Jen Rubio. This book supplements The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Volume 3: 1921–1929 (1992), also edited by Mary Rubio and Elizabeth Waterston, who at the time were directed to abridge Montgomery's journal text.
Montgomery's transcription in her journals of Charles Macneill's farm diary, mostly omitted in this volume, appears, along with her commentary, in The Diary of Charles Macneill, Farmer, 1892–1896 (2018).
L.M. Montgomery's last four years in Leaskdale were marked by a series of unpredictable, and often unmanageable, events. Her account of these events, as they often twisted in increasingly unexpected directions, makes for spellbinding reading.
From 1919, Montgomery's life had been troubled by her husband's recurring bouts of mental illness. During the years recounted here, his mood disturbances became profound: "I dare not remain here alone with him if he continues like this," she writes at one particularly low point. Other events added more complications to an already entangled life. A spurious lawsuit brought by a local farmer (claiming an enlarged prostate gland had been caused by a car collision) divided the community; Montgomery's description of the trial, before and after, is riveting. Communities across Ontario were also deeply divided by Church Union, which came to a head in 1925. Her occasional eyebrow-raising comments about members of other denominations remind us that she shared many of the biases of her time.
The first publication of Montgomery's journals in 1987 contained only a selection of her entries. Published now for the first time is the complete record of her life from 1922 to 1925.
All of her original photographs are here, many of which have never been published before. This edition also contains carefully researched new notes, with updated historical background.
