\section{Introduction}\label{intro}

Three meson systems play an important role in studies of hadron reaction dynamics and hadron spectroscopy. For example, in three-particle  decays of heavy quarkonia  several candidates for non-quark model resonances have recently been observed  \cite{PDG-2015, Aaij:2014jqa, Swanson:2006st}. Three-body decays of $B$ and $D$ mesons are a promising laboratory for studies of  CP-violation  \cite{Aaij:2013sfa,Aaij:2013bla}. In the light meson sector the limited phase space makes three-particle decays an ideal testing ground of effective theories of strong interactions. Detailed amplitude analysis of three meson production  becomes even more  important in light of the current and forthcoming high precision data  from various hadron facilities \cite{Battaglieri:2010zza,Eugenio:2003,Adolph:2014rpp, Ablikim:2015cmz}.

The isospin breaking $\eta\rightarrow 3\pi$ decay, which we consider here, is of great importance as it allows to measure the light quark mass difference. The electromagnetic effects are known to be small \cite{Sutherland:1966zz,Bell:1996mi,Ditsche:2008cq}, and the decay is  driven by strong interactions through the $\Delta I=1$ isospin breaking transition that appears directly in the QCD Lagrangian. The decay amplitude is proportional to the light quark mass difference, $(m_u-m_d)$, and it is conventionally expressed in terms of the parameter $Q^2$ defined by
\begin{equation}\label{Eq:Q}
\frac{1}{Q^2}=\frac{m_d^2-m_u^2}{m_s^2-\hat m^2}\,,\quad \hat m =\frac{(m_u+m_d)}{2}\,,
\end{equation}
with $m_s$ being the strange quark mass. Note, that this double ratio (\ref{Eq:Q}) is protected to strong high order corrections. Given the small breakup momenta  the distribution of pions in the Dalitz plot  of the $\eta\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decay can be analyzed in terms of a small number of parameters that determine deviations from a uniform distribution. These parameters are referred to as Dalitz plot parameters. Early analyses \cite{Gormley:1970qz,Layter:1973ti,Abele:1998yj} could determine only a few, leading Dalitz plot paramters. A few more parameters were determined using the 2008 KLOE measurement \cite{Ambrosino:2008ht}. These analyses were further improved thanks to the high-quality WASA-at-COSY  \cite{Adlarson:2014aks}  and new KLOE \cite{Anastasi:2016qvh} data.  The statistics  of the most resent measurements is high enough to allow for binned, data-driven analysis.

On the theoretical side there has been significant progress in chiral, effective field theory analysis of $\eta$ decays. Chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT) seems to converge poorly, yielding $\Gamma_{\eta\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0}=$ 66, $167\pm50$, $\sim 300$ eV at leading (LO), next-to-leading (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) order, respectively \cite{Cronin:1967jq, Osborn:1970nn, Gasser:1984pr, Bijnens:2007pr}. This indicates importance of pion-pion interactions and various approaches have been used to implement these effects to all orders \cite{Colangelo:2009db,Lanz:2013ku, Schneider:2010hs, Kampf:2011wr, Descotes-Genon:2014tla}.

In our recent study \cite{Guo:2015zqa}  we implemented  the S-matrix constraints of unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry via a set of dispersion relations \cite{Khuri:1960kt, Kambor:1995yc, Anisovich:1996tx}. Connection with QCD is achieved by  matching the dispersive amplitudes with $\chi$PT at the point where the latter converges best {\it  i.e.}  below the threshold. In  \cite{Guo:2015zqa} we used WASA-at-COSY data \cite{Adlarson:2014aks} to determine the free parameters, {\it i.e.}  subtraction constants of the dispersive integrals. As a result, we achieved a simultaneous description of the Dalitz plot distributions of the charged and neutral $\eta$ decay modes. In order to extract the parameter  $Q$ we matched the dispersive amplitude with the next-to-leading order (NLO) $\chi$PT result near the Adler zero and we obtained $Q=21.4\pm0.4$ \cite{Guo:2015zqa}. The purpose of this letter is to revisit the result of \cite{Guo:2015zqa} in a view of the new high statistic data from the KLOE experiment \cite{Anastasi:2016qvh}.

\section{The method}

In this section, we briefly review the $\eta$ decay amplitudes that were developed in \cite{Guo:2015zqa}. For $\eta\to 3\pi$, the transition amplitude $A(s,t,u)$ is a function of three Mandelstam variables \mbox{$s=(p_{\pi^+} + p_{\pi^-})^2$}, \mbox{$t=(p_{\pi^-} + p_{\pi^0})^2$}, and \mbox{$u = (p_{\pi^+} + p_{\pi^0})^2$} which are related by \mbox{$s+t+u = m_\eta^2 + 3\,m_{\pi}^2$}. Except for the phase-space boundary, we work in the isospin limit and take $m_{\pi}  =  (2\,m_{\pi^{+}}+m_{\pi^{0}})/3$. At low energies, one can perform a partial wave (p.w.) decomposition while crossing symmetry implies unitarity cuts in all three Mandelstam variables. Therefore we symmetrize the p.w. expansion in all three channels \cite{Khuri:1960kt,Bronzan:1963kt,Aitchison:1965kt,Aitchison:1965dt,Aitchison:1966kt,Pasquier:1968kt,Pasquier:1969dt}, which for the charged decay, $\eta\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$, implies the following representation,
\begin{align}
& A^{C}(s,t,u) =     \sum_{L=0}^{L_{max}=1}\frac{(2L+1)}{2} \bigg [ \frac{2}{3}\,P_{L}(z_{s})  \left ( \, a_{0 L}  (s ) - a_{2 L} (s) \right)  \nonumber \\
& + P_{L}(z_{t})  \left ( \,a_{1 L} (t) +  a_{2 L} (t) \right)-P_{L}(z_{u})  \left ( \,a_{1 L} (u) - a_{2 L} (u) \right)  \bigg ]\,.\nonumber \\
\label{ampc}
\end{align}
The amplitudes $a_{IL}$ have only the right-hand, unitary cuts. In Eq. (\ref{ampc}) $z_{i}\equiv\cos\theta_i$ and $\theta_{s,t,u}$ are the center-of-mass scattering angles in the $s$, $t$ and $u$-channels, respectively. The subscript \mbox{$(I,L)$} labels isospin and orbital angular momentum, with \mbox{$I+L=even$} due to Bose symmetry. The latter implies that for $L_{max}=1$ there are three unknown isospin amplitudes with $(I,L)=(0,0),\,(2,0),\,(1,1)$. An amplitude of the neutral decay, $\eta\to 3\pi^0$ can be easily reconstructed using $\Delta I=1$ relation,
\begin{equation}\label{ampn}
A^{N}(s,t,u) =A^{C}(s,t,u) +A^{C}(t,u,s) +A^{C}(u,s,t)\,,
\end{equation}
We emphasize, that the decomposition in Eq.(\ref{ampc}) has the same analytical properties as the amplitude in  NNLO chiral expansion \cite{Stern:1993rg, Knecht:1995tr}. However, in contrast to $\chi$PT, we can impose unitarity to all orders on the  $a_{IL}$ amplitudes. The discontinuity along the right-hand cut can be expressed through the elastic $\pi\pi$ partial wave amplitudes $f_{I  L}$, which leads to
\begin{align}\label{dis}
\Delta a_{I  L} (s)  &=\frac{1}{2\,i}\left(a_{IL}(s+i\epsilon)-a_{IL}(s-i\epsilon)\right)\nonumber\\
&= f_{I  L}^{*}(s) \rho(s) \bigg( a_{I L} (s)+2\sum_{L'=0}^{L_{max}}\sum_{I'}(2L'+1)  \nonumber \\
&\quad \times\int_{-1}^{+1}\frac{dz_s}{2}\,P_{L}(z_{s})\,P_{L'}(z_{t}) C_{st}^{I  I'}  a_{I' L'} (t)   \bigg)\,,
\end{align}
Note, that the amplitudes $a_{I L} (s)$ and $f_{I  L}(s) $ for $L>0$ are subject to kinematical constraints  \cite{Lutz:2011xc} which have to be removed before application of  dispersion relations. This is done by introducing the reduced amplitudes $\tilde a_{I L} (s)= a_{IL}(s)/Z_L(s)$ where the factor $Z_L(s)$ is proportional to the product of the c.m. momenta of $\pi\pi$ and $\pi \eta$ \cite{Guo:2015zqa}. The normalization is fixed by the phase space factor $\rho(s) =\sqrt{1- 4\,m_{\pi}^{2}/s}$, with  \mbox{$\mbox{Im} (1/f_{I L}(s)) =-\rho(s)$}. The explicit form of the crossing matrices $C_{st, su}^{I  I'}$ can be found in \cite{Guo:2015zqa}. The contribution from the first term on the right-hand side of Eq.\,(\ref{dis}) reproduces the direct $s$-channel unitarity, while the second term contains the left-hand cuts from the $t$ and $u$-channels. While calculating the latter, special care has to be taken for \mbox{$4\,m_\pi^2 \leq s <(m_\eta+m_\pi)^2$}, i.e. one has to deform the contour to avoid the cut along the real axis \cite{Gribov:1962fu,PhysRev.132.2712,Bronzan:1963kt}. The kinematical singularity free amplitudes  $\tilde{a}_{IL}(s)$ satisfy the Cauchy representation, which up to subtraction constants yields,
\begin{equation}
\tilde{a}_{IL}(s) = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{4m_{\pi}^2}^\infty \, ds' \frac{\Delta \tilde{a}_{IL}(s')}{s' -s}\,.\label{dis2}
\end{equation}
The combination of (\ref{dis2}) and (\ref{dis}) sets the so-called Khuri-Treiman (KT) framework that can be solved using  several techniques \cite{Guo:2014vya}. The most popular method is to write a set of dispersion relation for the ratio $\tilde{a}_{IL}(s)/\Omega_{IL}(s)$ with $\Omega_{IL}(s)$ being the Omn\`es function \cite{Colangelo:2009db,Descotes-Genon:2014tla}. In this case it is necessary to make further assumptions about the unknown high-energy region which is typically done by introducing subtractions. This procedure is relatively easy for $\omega\rightarrow 3\pi$ decay which depends dominantly on the pion-pion P-wave scattering input \cite{Niecknig:2012sj,Danilkin:2014cra}. However, this is more challenging for $\eta\to 3\pi$ decay, where the dominant contribution comes from the S-wave and the form of the $\pi\pi$ isoscalar Omn\`es function is very sensitive to  the asymptotic behavior of the phase shift $\delta_{IL=00}(s\to \infty)$. In \cite{Colangelo:2015kha} (Figs. 4 and 7) different scenarios for the the $\pi\pi$ phase shift inputs were investigated and the corresponding Omn\`es functions were produced. In order to minimize these differences, the subtraction polynomial of the sufficient  order is required in the dispersion representation.

A complementary approach is the Pasquier inversion \cite{Pasquier:1968kt,Aitchison:1978pw} that we applied to analyze WASA-at-COSY data in \cite{Guo:2015zqa} and use here as well. This method uses contour deformation to exchange the order of double integral appearing on the right hand side of Eq.~(\ref{dis2}). As it was shown in \cite{Guo:2014vya}, once the two-body amplitudes $f_{IL}(s)$ are known, different methods for solving the disersive integral provide the same result. However, when the Pasquier inversion is applied, the input of $f_{IL}(s)$  is required in a different energy region.

To proceed we write $\tilde{a}_{IL}(s)$ in the form
\begin{equation}\label{Eq:product}
\tilde{a}_{IL}(s) =  \mathcal{F}_{IL}(s) \,f_{IL}(s)  \,g_{IL}(s),
\end{equation}
where the function $\mathcal{F}_{IL}(s)$ is introduced to remove Adler zeros specific to the elastic amplitude $f_{IL}(s)$ and introduce zeros in the decay amplitude as required by chiral symmetry. From Eq.~(\ref{dis}) and Eq.~(\ref{Eq:product}) one can derive the  discontinuity of $g_{IL}$ and write  the dispersive representation for $g_{IL}(s)$. As a result we obtain a double integral equations for \mbox{$g_{IL}(s)$}, which can be reduced to a single integral equation using the Pasquier inversion,
\begin{align}
g_{IL}(s)  = &  -\frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\infty}^{ 0} ds' \frac{1}{s' - s}  \frac{\Delta f_{IL}(s')}{f_{IL}^{*}(s')}\,g_{IL}(s')   \nonumber \\
&+ \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\infty}^{(M-m_{\pi})^2}  dt\sum_{L'=0}^{L_{max}}\sum_{I'} \mathcal{K}_{ I L, I' L'}(s,t)  \nonumber \\
& \quad \quad \quad \quad  \quad \quad  \quad    \times   C_{st}^{I  I'}   f_{I' L'}(t)\,g_{I'L'}(t). \label{pasqg}
\end{align}
The explicit form of the kernel functions,  \mbox{$\mathcal{K}_{IL, I' L'}(s,t)$} can be found in \cite{Guo:2015zqa}. Currently, they are only calculated in the region $s\in (0,\,(M-m_{\pi})^2)$, which includes physical region and therefore cover the whole Dalitz plot region. In order to compute the amplitudes beyond that region, a proper analytical continuation is required within Pasquier inversion technique. Important steps in that direction were already elaborated in \cite{Guo:2014mpp}. We will come this issue later in the $Q$-value determination.

The first term and the part of the second term on the right-hand side have the left-hand cut and can be expanded in the Taylor series in the physical region. Retaining only a single term in the expansion we arrive at the following relation \cite{Guo:2014vya, Guo:2015kla}
\begin{align}\label{gapprox}
&g_{IL}(s)  =   g_{IL}(s_0) + \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{0}^{(M-m_{\pi})^2} dt \sum_{L'=0}^{L_{max}}\sum_{I'}
C_{st}^{I  I'}  \nonumber \\
 &\quad \quad \times \big(\mathcal{K}_{IL,I'L'}(s,t) -\mathcal{K}_{IL,I'L'}(s_{0},t)\big)  f_{I' L'}(t)\,g_{I'L'}(t)\,,
\end{align}
which is solved by discretizing the integral and inverting the kernel matrix. The subtraction point, $s_0$  is chosen to be near the Adler zero at leading order of $\chi$PT, \mbox{$s_0 \simeq 4/3\,m_\pi^2$}, and the subtraction constants $g_{IL}(s_0)$, which absorb the left hand cut contribution  are the free parameters that are to be determined by fitting to the data.

The $\eta\to 3\pi$ Dalitz plot distribution is conventionally expressed in terms of the variables $x,y$ which are defined by
\begin{align}\label{defXY}
x &= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\,m_\eta\,Q_{c}}\,(t-u)\,, \nonumber\\
y &= \frac{3}{2\,m_\eta\,Q_{c}} \left ((m_\eta-m_{\pi^{0}})^{2} -s \right ) -1\,.
\end{align}
For charge decay \mbox{$Q_{c} = m_\eta-2\,m_{\pi}^+-m_\pi^0$}  and for the neutral decay \mbox{$Q_{n} = m_\eta-3\,m_\pi^0$}. Kinematics restrict the events to be contained within the unit disk  $x^2+y^2\leq 1$. The KLOE \cite{Anastasi:2016qvh} and WASA-at-COSY \cite{Adlarson:2014aks} data were binned into 371 and 59 sectors of the unit disk,  respectively (only bins that lie completely inside the physical region are included). We determine the  unknown parameters, $g_{IL}(s_0)$ by minimizing
\begin{align}
\chi^{2} = \sum^{N}_{bins}  \left ( \frac{|A|_{\mbox{data}}^{2} - |A^{C}\left(\{g_{IL}(s_{0})\}\right)|^{2} }{\Delta |A|^2_{\mbox{data}} }\right)^{2}\,, \label{c2}
\end{align}
where $|A|_{\mbox{data}}^2$ is the acceptance corrected data in each bin and $\Delta |A|_{\mbox{data}}$ is the uncertainty (assumed to be only statistical).

In our earlier work \cite{Guo:2015zqa} we performed two different fits to the WASA-at-COSY data. The first fit was done using only two resonant p.w. amplitudes, i.e. $(I,L)=(0,0),\,(1,1)$ and the second fit included all isospin amplitudes for the $S$ and the $P$ waves, i.e. $(I,L)=(0,0),\,(2,0),\,(1,1)$. Here we follow the same procedure. The resulting parameters are collected in Table \ref{tab:par}, where we show fits with and without three-particle rescattering effects (so called "two-body" and "three-body" scenarios), i.e using (\ref{gapprox}) to determine $g_{IL}(s)$, or just setting it to a constant $g_{IL}(s)=g_{IL}(s_0)$.

In the first step we fit the KLOE data alone. When only $(I,L)=(0,0),\,(1,1)$ amplitudes are taken into account,  we observe a significant reduction of $\chi^2/d.o.f$ while moving from the "two-body" to the "three body" case. At the same time, when a complete set of $S$ and $P$ waves is incorporated, the $\chi^2/d.o.f$ stabilizes at around 1.2-1.3 in both cases. In the second step, we combine the KLOE and WASA-at-COSY data. The results are in general very similar, showing the consistency of two different data sets. The results of the fit are shown in Fig. \ref{fig:proj1}.

The Dalitz plot parameters are defined as an effective range expansion around the center of the Dalitz plot $x=y=0$,
\begin{align}\label{Dalitzpar1}
\frac{|A^{C}(x,y)|^{2}}{|A^{C}(0,0)|^{2} } &=1+ a\,y + b\,y^{2}+ d\,x^{2 }+ f\,y^{3}+ g\,x^{2} y + \cdots \nonumber\\
\frac{|A^{N}(z,\phi)|^{2}}{|A^{N}(0,0)|^{2}}&= 1+ 2\,\alpha\,z + 2\,\beta\,z^{3/2}\,\sin 3 \phi  + \cdots\,,
\end{align}
where \mbox{$x=\sqrt{z} \cos \phi$} and \mbox{$y=\sqrt{z} \sin \phi$}. In Table \ref{tab:xy} we show the averaged Dalitz Plot parameters between  three-body fits with $(I,L)=(0,0),\,(1,1)$ and $(I,L)=(0,0),\,(2,0),\,(1,1)$ wave sets. We also predict the slope parameter $\alpha$ for the neutral decay mode to be
\begin{eqnarray}\label{alpha_new}
&&\alpha= -0.024  \pm0.004 ,\quad \beta=-0.000 \pm 0.002\,,\\
&&\alpha= -0.025  \pm0.004 ,\quad \beta=-0.000 \pm 0.002\,,\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
from the KLOE and combined KLOE \& WASA-at-COSY fits, respectively. Note, that without three body effects $\alpha^{2b}= -0.021\pm0.004$ for both sets of data. The new results (\ref{alpha_new}) compares favorably with the most recent PDG value $\alpha^{PDG}=-0.0315\pm0.0015$ \cite{PDG-2015}. This difference is expected to get even smaller once electromagnetic corrections are fully considered (not only in kinematic factors).

As explained in the text, in order to compute the amplitudes beyond that region, a proper analytical continuation is required within Pasquier inversion technique.}\label{fig:2}
\end{figure*}

\subsection{Matching to $\chi$PT and the $Q$-value}

We note, that NLO $\chi$PT result depends on four low energy constants (LECs). These can be reduced to a single one $L_3=(-2.35\pm0.37)\times 10^{-3}$ \cite{Amoros:2001cp} if one  employs Gell-Mann-Okubo constraint between meson masses and meson decay constants. This is  not the case at NNLO where one has to deal with several  unknown LEC's. Therefore, in our analysis we match the dispersive amplitudes with NLO $\chi$PT near the  Adler zero. Note, that we match single variable partial wave amplitudes $a_{IL}(s)$ to $\chi$PT and not the full amplitude $A^C(s,t,u)$ along the lines $s=t$ or $t=u$. This procedure should be equivalent, since $a^{\chi PT}_{IL}(s)$ possess Adler zeros as well. In order to perform the matching at $t=u$ we would need to make an additional analytic continuation of our results. In Fig. \ref{fig:2} we show our results of a combined fit to KLOE and WASA-at-COSY  with a fixed overall normalization to NLO $\chi$PT near the  Adler zero in the region $s=(0,\,10\,m_\pi^2)$ along the lines $s=t$ or $t=u$. The updated Q-value is
\begin{equation}\label{finalQ}
Q=21.6 \pm 1.1\,,
\end{equation}
which should be compared to the result of \cite{Guo:2015zqa} \mbox{$Q=21.4\pm 1.1$} (the fit to WASA-at-COSY data only) and \mbox{$Q=21.7 \pm 1.1$} (the fit to KLOE data only).
Note, that the obtained $Q$-value is consistent with the latest ($N_f= 2+1+1$) lattice computations $Q=22.2\pm1.8$ \cite{Aoki:2016frl}.

There are several challenges in the accurate determination of the $Q$-value. The first one comes from the elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes, which are available from the Roy equation analysis \cite{GarciaMartin:2011cn} and implies the error $\Delta Q_{\pi\pi}=0.25$. Second uncertainty is due to experimental $\eta\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ decay width, which serves as an input in our analysis. Its value increased by more than 3$\sigma$ over the last thirty years, resulting in the current PDG value $\Gamma_{\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0}=296\pm16$ eV \cite{PDG-2015}. This error propagates to $\Delta Q_{\Gamma}=0.29$. Third source of uncertainty is the experimental data on Dalitz plot itself, which thanks to the recent high-statistical analyses has improved significantly. Its contribution to the Q-value is $< 10\%$ of the size of error bars coming from the $\pi\pi$ amplitudes and therefore we included it in $\Delta Q_{\pi\pi}$. Another uncertainty comes from matching to $\chi$PT amplitude. The error associated with $L_3$ LEC is very small and therefore the resulting error bar in our previous analysis was $\Delta Q_{\text{total}}=0.4$ \cite{Guo:2015zqa}. That error was dominated by the experimental error bars and therefore should be viewed as a lower bound of the full error. We note, however, that the Q-value determination is very sensitive to the matching to NLO amplitude. Though the region around the Adler zero is supposed to be stable against contributions from higher orders in the chiral expansion, we cannot completely exclude them. Assuming conservatively an additional error of 10\% on NLO $\chi$PT amplitude, gives $\Delta Q_{match}=1.08$ and the total $\Delta Q_{\text{total}}=1.1$ quoted in Eq. (\ref{finalQ}).

\section{Conclusions}

In this work we revisited our previous dispersive analysis \cite{Guo:2015zqa} of the $\eta\rightarrow 3\pi$ decay in light of the new KLOE \cite{Anastasi:2016qvh} data. Within our unitary model we established a unified description of charged and neutral decay modes. The method is based on Khuri-Treiman equation which is consistent with elastic unitarity, analyticity and crossing symmetry.  Using the input from the $\pi\pi$ amplitude, the Khuri-Treiman equation was solved using Pasquier inversion technique. This allowed to establish a significant reduction of the unknown parameters compared to a more straightforward Omn\`es solution. However, the price is the treatment of the left-hand cuts, which is in general not known. We assume, that the unitarity in the physical region, where it can be constrained by the data, plays the key role and does not depend on an accurate form of the unphysical left-hand cuts. The latter we absorbed in the subtraction constants \cite{Guo:2014vya}. With these model assumptions we were able to describe the data from KLOE \cite{Anastasi:2016qvh} and WASA-at-COSY \cite{Adlarson:2014aks} with a minimal number fitting parameters.

The new results are \mbox{$\alpha= -0.025 \pm 0.004$} and
\mbox{$Q=21.6 \pm 1.1$}. Since the experimental data on $\eta\rightarrow 3\pi$ Dalitz plot is very precise now, the main experimental uncertainties come from $I=0$ two-pion scattering amplitudes and the decay width $\Gamma_{\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0}$. Improving them are relevant for further $Q$-value and $\alpha$ determinations.

After submission of our manuscript an improved dispersive analysis based on Omn\`es functions was announced in \cite{Colangelo:2016jmc}. The new $Q$-value is $Q=22.0\pm 0.7$ which is consistent with our estimate.

The codes employed to compute the partial wave amplitudes and the Dalitz plot distribution are available for downloading as well as in an interactive form online at the Joint Physics Analysis Center (JPAC) webpage \cite{website}.

A new train for Ansu Fati
The striker, who has solely began 5 video games, may take Lewandowski's place towards Atlético de Madrid
Ansu Fati celebrates the profitable purpose towards Intercity.JOSEPH JORDANAFP
Deciding who will take over Robert Lewandowski within the subsequent three league video games it should be fairly a headache for Xavi. The Pole has 13 targets within the championship and is, by far, the principle offensive argument of a Barcelona whose coach claims extra capability to resolve matches. He needs it to be extra forceful. And that's mirrored, greater than scoring many targets, as he needed to do towards Intercity, in making higher use of alternatives.
Ansu Fati, particularly in his first video games as a Barça participant, confirmed off that particular reward. He hardly wanted a transparent motion to attain usually decisive targets. He even celebrated, so to talk, his return to the group after a protracted damage, within the closing stretch of a duel with Levante in September 2021, with a purpose that did greater than justice to the group. 10 inherited after the traumatic departure of Messi to PSG. Though his steady bodily issues have been an amazing drag on a profession that appears to be little lower than meteoric at its begin, he now has a transparent alternative to make amends. If Xavi, in fact, lastly decides to resort to Lewandowski as a circumstantial aid level, to start out this Sunday's sport towards Atlético de Madrid.
The issue that performs probably the most towards him, nevertheless, is that Xavi has been selecting to dose it to unsuspected limits. As a lot as he assured final August that the younger striker can mark a whole period at Bara, he has solely given him the title in 5 of the 22 video games that the Catalans have performed this season. And, in truth, he solely accomplished one among them: the one which the Barcelona followers performed at house towards Viktoria Plzen within the Champions League (2-4). Nonetheless, he opted for the beginning within the final derby towards Espanyol within the League, wherein he positioned him on the left wing. A duel wherein, to inform the reality, the younger man cracklike all the group, didn't have precisely the day.
cup declare
Within the Cup, however, he was capable of declare himself, regardless of beginning the match instead. After getting into the ultimate stretch of the second half, Ansu Fati scored the purpose in additional time that certified the Catalans for the following spherical and averted the blush of risking every little thing on one card towards Intercity on penalties. Or what would have been even worse: elimination. His purpose additionally had a prize. For the entire group. Xavi had promised his footballers that he would give them off on January 6, in order that they might spend Three Kings Day with their households, if the group handed the spherical. And, though it was a bit agonizing, due to Ansu, they fulfilled their a part of the deal.
Think about a Barca ahead with raphinha Y dembl on the wings and Ansu Fati as a winger isn't very unreasonable. Above all, as a result of each the Brazilian and the French show all their skills higher if they've the choice of ranging from as shut as attainable to the lime line. Within the case of Dembl, moreover, irrespective of how a lot he's presently the second highest scorer for Barca, with a complete of six targets (Lewandowski has solely 18), his capability to virtually at all times select the worst attainable choice is little lower than maddening.
ferran torresFor his half, he may even have choices to behave as a aid for the Pole, however Xavi appears to choose that he search for the shot after going diagonally into the realm as an alternative of resorting to his providers as 9. A place that, in truth, wouldn't be unusual to him both. Memphis DePay. The Dutchman, nevertheless, has had only a few choices to vindicate himself. The coach didn't take him an excessive amount of into consideration in the beginning of the marketing campaign and, later, he was out for 13 video games attributable to damage. A historical past that invitations us to assume that his departure on this winter market isn't dominated out in any respect.

LA police chief aims to wipe out minor warrants for homeless
by: STEFANIE DAZIO, Associated Press
Posted: Jul 11, 2019 / 08:44 PM CDT / Updated: Jul 11, 2019 / 08:44 PM CDT
In this Wednesday, July 10, 2019 photo Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore pauses during an interview with The Associated Press in Los Angeles. Moore says homelessness is a public health and safety concern rather than a law enforcement issue that requires more mental health, sanitation and housing resources. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said he is working to eliminate thousands of homeless people's old warrants for minor offenses in the coming weeks as part of a solution to help get people off the streets.
"This is a humanitarian crisis of our generation," Moore said Wednesday in a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press. "This matches any other calamity that this city or this region or this country has seen. It is, I believe, a social emergency."
Homelessness rose 16% in LA over the past year , to more than 36,000 people, according to a June report by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Across LA County, the count increased 12%, to nearly 59,000 people.
California's homeless crisis came under fire this month after President Donald Trump threatened to intervene and "get that whole thing cleaned up."
"They can't be looking at scenes like you see in Los Angeles and San Francisco," Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti responded that he would welcome federal involvement to solve the issue.
Since applying for the top job last year, Moore has been considering a plan to eliminate so-called bench warrants more than 5 years old for minor offenses such as drinking in public, blocking a sidewalk and failure to appear in court. Moore celebrated his first anniversary as chief in June.
His plan calls for dismissing old quality-of-life warrants that can rack up hundreds of dollars in fees and often plague homeless people who can't pay or show up for court.
Moore said he would prefer police to focus on criminal behavior rather than low-level offenses "that get in the way of people's recovery because they were cited for something one, two, three, four years ago."
"We have hundreds of thousands of bench warrants that haven't been served in years," the chief said. "We need to clear the docket."
Moore did not offer details about his proposal Wednesday, and his spokesman, Joshua Rubenstein, said he did not have additional information such as a timeframe for when the warrants would be cleared. City prosecutors, who would have to work with the police department to eliminate the warrants, declined to comment.
Moore said he doesn't see homelessness as a law enforcement issue but rather a public health and safety concern that requires greater investment in mental health, sanitation, hygiene and housing resources. He declined to name any entity responsible for the burgeoning crisis.
Police and firefighters are on the streets dealing with homeless people at all hours, Moore said, but they don't see anyone in uniform offering other services.
"Where's our outreach workers, where's our mental health workers?" he said. "I would love to see outreach workers wearing a vest. I would love for the public to be able to drive up and down the street and see outreach workers readily identifiable conducting outreach and engagement to people experiencing homelessness."
Moore decried the city's homeless death toll — about 900 people last year and roughly 800 in 2017 — but said he was encouraged by recent tax measures. They include a 2016 voter-approved proposition that lets the city issue $1.2 billion in bonds to build housing as well as billions of dollars in proposed state funding to address homelessness.
On marijuana legalization, the chief said law enforcement needs to target black market financiers and building owners who rent to illegal pot shops. Arresting store operators isn't working, he said.
"We have to get out of first gear on this," Moore said.
Moore said he's encouraged that officer-involved shootings have decreased from 46 in 2017, when 17 people were killed, to 33 last year, when 12 people died. There have been 13 shootings as of July 8, in which six people died, but he said the goal is always zero.
The department also is researching less-lethal options as an alternative to firearms.
Moore's other goals include promoting a diverse workforce that reflects the city as the next generation of LAPD supervisors so they can lead the department for the 2028 Olympics.

Пета крајишка ударна дивизија била је дивизија Народноослободилачке војске Југославије формирана 9. новембра 1942. на Гламочком пољу, наредбом Врховног штаба НОВ и ПОЈ од Прве, Четврте и Седме крајишке бригаде. Први командант дивизије био је Славко Родић, а политички комесар Илија Дошен.

Из састава дивизије је марта 1943. изузета Седма крајишка дивизија, а током маја 1943. у њеном саставу привремено се налазила Друга крајишка ударна бригада. У саставу Дивизије били су још и Ударна група батаљона (два батаљона Шесте и једна батаљон Девете крајишке бригаде), од јула до средине септембра 1943; Десета крајишка ударна бригада, од октобра 1943. до марта 1945; Друга италијанска бригада из састава дивизије Гарибалди, од новембра 1943. до фебруара 1944; 21. српска бригада, током септембра и октобра 1944; Прва југословенска бригада, формирана у Совјетском Савезу, од децембра 1944. и Артиљеријска бригада, од новембра 1944. године.

Дивизија је у јануара 1943. имала 3.920, новембра 1944. 7.663, а половином јануара 1945. 10.360 бораца. Од формирања до половине октобра 1943.  била је у саставу Првог босанског корпуса (касније Трећи корпуса), затим је била у саставу Оперативне групе дивизија под командом Врховног штаба НОВ и ПОЈ, па Првог пролетерског корпуса. Од јануара 1945. налазила се у  саставу Прве армије ЈА. Сматрала се једном од елитних јединица НОВЈ.

Борбени пут Пете дивизије
Након формирања дивизија као целина учествовала је крајем новембра и током децембра 1942. године у офанзивним операцијама против Немаца и усташа у долини Сане и Уне. Током Операција "Вајс I" успела је да спречи напредовање немачког 749. пука 717. дивизије, а током Операција "Вајс II" водила је успешне еластичну одбрану против наступања 7. СС дивизије и 369. легионарске дивизије.

Током 1943. дивизија је извршила више успешних напада међу којима се истичу заузимање Какња у јуну и напад на аеродром Рајловац у августу.

Microsoft Teams is a chat-based application meant to be an extension to the Office 365 office suite promoted by the giant. Its main purpose is to help teams in a business orientated environment better communicate and share the progress of current projects so that all team members are up to date and connected.
While people can currently check out the preview version of the software, it was noticed that Microsoft Teams isn't currently part of the Windows Store. This raised questions since the application was expected to make a debut on Microsoft's online store.
However, a recent session of Ask Me Anything took place in which anxious followers of Microsoft Teams development didn't hesitate to ask whether or not users would get to see the work efficiency boosting program on the Windows Store.
Microsoft confirmed that they would be making it available, although they did not specify when that exact moment will come. Since no official date was shared with the public, speculation pointed to a possible early 2017 addition to the Windows Store.
This scenario is quite plausible as by the time we reach this release date, Microsoft Teams will have also left its Preview phase and gone on to full-retail mode.
Microsoft users that weren't completely sold by the rumor will have to unfortunately wait a bit longer until Microsoft makes an official announcement about when Teams will become available in the Store.


Atlantic Holdfast is a small company working to sustainably hand-harvest high quality sea vegetables from the Gulf of Maine. Our harvesting operation is based on a remote island in outer Penboscot Bay, 7 miles off Stonington, ME, where the strong currents, active surf, and full exposure to the open ocean have allowed these seaweeds to thrive for millenia.
The islands served as seasonal camps for the native Wabanaki people for thousands of years, who came to pursue the abundance of the sea, a pattern of use that continued for centuries after European settlement. One such island outpost has remained in continuous service as a seaward fishing base for local residents since the 1700s, its protected harbor offering safe anchorage for the sail powered fishing fleet that existed into the early 20th century.
Still owned by local residents, it has served as our home base since 2010, providing access to the outer bay where the powerful tides and highly oxygenated water offer ideal habitat for these delicious wild plants.
The harvest is guided by the lunar cycle, occurring at all hours of day and night as determined by the tides, rising and falling as much as 13 feet in 6 hours. We travel in small boats to the kelp beds and exposed ledges to harvest, working quickly during the brief windows of time when access is permitted by the receding tide.
We work carefully within this turbulent environment, selectively cutting each variety with specific techniques developed to ensure the long-term health of this unique ecosystem. Once landed the seaweed is immediately hung to dry, reaching a shelf stable condition within 24-36 hours, at which point it stores indefinitely.
Some of the oldest and most resilient organisms on earth, seaweeds have been noted throughout history for their tremendous nutritional and medicinal benefits, their aid in removing heavy metals from the body, and their use in the treatment and prevention of cancer. There is also evidence indicating their ability to prevent the uptake and absorption of radioactive isotopes released by nuclear facilities during normal operations, and especially in the event of a nuclear disaster.
These "plants" have evolved in one of the most turbulent ecosystems on the planet, and can lend some of their strength and tenacity to our bodies in holding fast during times of stress and transition.

Bushmills: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know
Posted by Adam Farley on 13th Mar 2019
Old Bushmills Irish whiskey is one of Ireland's best-loved whiskey brands, renowned for its smooth taste and historic legacy, and has come to embody some of the best features of Irish history and heritage — its long lineage and its devotion to quality chief among them.
THE HISTORY OF BUSHMILLS & IRISH WHISKEY
The Old Bushmills Distillery astride St. Columb's Rill in County Antrim.
(National Library of Ireland on The Commons / Wikimedia Commons)
Bushmills is the oldest licensed distillery in Ireland, with a history that dates back to 1608 when King James I granted a license to Sir Thomas Phillips to distill whiskey in the area of the River Bush in County Antrim in what is today Northern Ireland. Whiskey has been distilled in the area since at least the 13th century, when an Irish general supposedly held a drinking session before going into battle with his troops. Bushmills itself was not officially founded until 1784, and the distillery building was constructed in 1885 and has been making the famed whiskey ever since. Today, the distillery is owned by Jose Cuervo, reflecting the growing international demand for Irish whiskey and the increasing global dominance of Irish businesses.
The Old Bushmills Distillery is a popular tourist attraction, with guided tours and tasting sessions available at the old distillery building. The distillery itself is not actually located on the River Bush, but on a tributary called Saint Columb's Rill. The distillery has a novelty railroad as well, taking visitors to and from the Giants Causeway, located just two miles away on the Atlantic coast. The distillery sees over 100,000 visitors annually.
The tradition of distilling whiskey in Ireland dates back to the 11th century, when monks would distill whiskey from fermented barley or wheat and other grains. The word whiskey itself actually comes from the Irish language word for water, uisce, which once lent its name to a nickname of the spirit, uisce beatha, meaning water of life, similar to the Italian phrase aqua vitae, often used to connote wine.
BUSHMILLS IN POPULAR CULTURE
Given that Bushmills is one of the world's most recognizable whiskey brands, references to the company are naturally scattered throughout popular culture. Here's a brief rundown, courtesy of Wikipedia:

In Independence Day, Jeff Goldblum drinks Bushmills when the end of the world is near.
In Better Call Saul Season 4, Bushmills is shared during Episode 6 "Pinata."
NOFX, a band, mentions them in the song "Theme From a NOFX Album."
Tom Waits mentions "Old Bushmills" in the song "Tom Traubert's Blues" Rod Stewart also did a cover of the song.
Burt Reynolds in Hustle drinks Bushmills, it is his favorite alcohol.
Todd Rundgren mentions Bushmills as a poor substitute for love in "Hungry For Love" on A Wizard, A True Star.
In the movie The Verdict, Paul Newman orders Bushmills and water.

Kaizer Chiefs not doing well but Soweto Derby nerves are high - Orlando Pirates' Hotto
Dennis Mabuka
11:19 WAT 28/10/2022
Orlando Pirates midfielder Deon Hotto has admitted Kaizer Chiefs are making them a bit nervous despite their poor run of results in the PSL.
Pirates beat Sundowns to reach MTN8 final
Chiefs were knocked out by AmaZulu in the semis
Pirates and Chiefs to face off at FNB Stadium
WHAT HAPPENED? The Buccaneers will come up against their rivals Amakhosi in the Soweto Derby at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Ahead of the PSL fixture, Pirates are basking in the glory of the 3-0 victory against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN8 semi-final clash. Meanwhile, Chiefs failed to reach the final of the domestic cup after losing on the away goals rule to AmaZulu.
The 31-year-old Hotto believes Amakhosi will produce a tough game despite their recent struggles.
WHAT DID HOTTO SAY? "The nerves are high even though Chiefs are not doing well. It's a derby and it is not about form and it is going to be a totally different ball game," Hotto told the media ahead of the contest.
"We can't look at the games they played and think they didn't get the results they wanted. It's a derby and it is going to be a different Chiefs definitely. So we must not go out there and think they drew and lost. It will be a different ball game.
"All we are taking from the last game is just positives going into this match, which is a big one."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Buccaneers are ahead of Amakhosi on the 16-team table. They are sitting fourth on 19 points from 12 matches while Chiefs are fifth on 18 points from the same number of matches.
Pirates won their last league fixture 2-0 against Golden Arrows while Chiefs drew 2-2 against TS Galaxy and this came after they had lost 2-1 to Chippa United.
WHAT NEXT FOR HOTTO? The Namibian star will hope to help the Bucs get their sixth victory of the season against Amakhosi at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

My how time flies when things are crazy busy! At BSCI, are busier than ever doing all we can to support you, the bariatric professional, as you work to provide quality support and educational programs for your patients. We know that those who work in the bariatric community are some of the most talented, dedicated, genuine people anywhere. And we are keenly aware of the many hats you wear. You work tirelessly to improve the health and well being of the patients you serve. But, what about you? What about YOUR health and well-being?
For many, support group night comes at the end of an exhausting full day of work. The time and energy it takes to pull together a meeting agenda, lesson topics and activities when your best self has been all but spent, can turn what might be a fun and fulfilling end to you day to a dreaded obligation. We hear you! We have put together some helpful tips for Bariatric Support Group Leaders to help reduce your stress while planning, preparing and facilitating great meetings.
1. Calendar topics in advance. Time spent planning several months or even a year ahead for support group topics, guest speakers and activities will pay off great dividends especially on those crazy busy days. Survey patients for hot topics, reach out to other professionals, vendors and educators and schedule them in. Having a plan will reduce your stress and let your patients know in advance what great meetings they can count on.
2. Involve more patients, more often. Our research has shown clearly that patients want more patient involvement in support groups. You likely have a room filled with willing volunteers to contribute in a big way. Patient volunteers can arrange for room set up, welcome at the door, arrange for spotlight patient presentations, serve on special event committees, and even research and present a lesson topic. While it takes a bit to get organized, set guidelines and communication, involving patients will help them engage, while giving you a helping hand.
3. Invest in Lesson Plans. Since 2000, BSCI has been known for our research based, quality support group lessons. Each has a lesson plan, handout, activity and visual aids. Have a topic in mind that you don't see? Let us know, we'll put our heads together and see what we can come up with. Remember, those attending support group come for a variety of reasons. A good facilitator will incorporate a variety of teaching methods to give each participant opportunity to learn, grow and share in their own way. And in doing so, make the meeting exceptional!
4. Use readily available newsletter articles, stories and research. It is likely that you receive a variety of eNewsletters, updates, articles and research notifications every week from various sources within the bariatric community. For an easy and fun support group on the fly, print out several articles, ask patients to read aloud, then discuss by asking questions like: "Is this true for you?" or, "please share your thoughts and experience on this topic." If the group is large, you could divide up, have each smaller group take a topic, discuss, then share with everyone.
5. End on time then go home! Many patients enjoy the social aspect of support groups and often meetings seem to go on forever and end way too late, especially for busy professionals. First, set your boundaries. Establish a reasonable time to end, and stick to it. (We find that most groups are about 1/1/2 hours). Dismiss everyone and suggest that those who want to continue visiting meet 'in the lobby, or turn out the lights when they leave. You may want to ask a patient volunteer to arrange for the after support group get together. Finish your meeting on time – then, go home! Go see your family and take care of you! We need you.


If you fly coach on the average commercial airline, as I did recently, you'll probably have to make do with mass market trash tea, for lack of a better term. If that doesn't work for you then you might want to consider traveling on Seabourn Cruise Lines, who recently introduced a menu of more than a dozen rare estate teas, as well as a selection of teas and tisanes - the latter being the "proper" term for what most of us refer to as herbal teas.
The program has been christened Seabourn to a Tea and the teas presented will be loose leaf. Pardon me while I swoon. Among the varieties you'll encounter if you decide you're up for some upscale cruising are Bleu Peacock, a blend of premium Chinese and Formosa oolongs; Jasmine Downy Pearls; Himalaya Peak Darjeeling Organic and such herbal blends as Ginger Twist and Verbena Mint Organic.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and other welfare programs are in place to help low-income people and families. Occasionally, people will take advantage of this financial help and sell their benefits for cash. Most of the time people who sell their benefits are just individual sellers. What many people do not realize is that this federal crime carries a heavy sentence.
Broward County police officers discovered a multitude of fraudulent offences coming from a chain of businesses in Broward County. An investigation which spanned over 5 years uncovered 3.7 million dollars taken from tax payers in the form of false business transactions – trades from 50 cents to a dollar each.
The investigation included the efforts of multiple agencies all working together to investigate this assault on tax payers money. The scandal concluded with most of the suspects charged, ranging in offenses, some with heavier federal charges than others.

Darren J Poidevin,CPO, LPO
Darren J. Poidevin, CPO, LPO is a Licensed and American Board for Certification accredited Prosthetist and Orthotist. Darren is a graduate of Florida International University with a Bachelor of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics and has 17 years of experience in patient management programs specializing in pediatrics, cranial remolding orthoses for plagiocephaly, and post-operative intervention for the treatment of craniosynostosis. While previously working with a National P&O provider as the Practice Manager, Darren helped develop and implement the Cranial Program in San Antonio. Darren has trained and lectured across the nation as part of the National Orthotic team and Cranial Division. In addition, Darren has instructed on post-operative cranial remolding treatment for the Endoscopic Treatment of Craniosynostosis sponsored by the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Division of Neurosurgery and the Plastic Surgery Department. Darren currently serves as the National Clinical Operations Manager for the STAR Cranial Center of Excellence located in San Antonio, working to ensure clinical excellence for multiple centers across the nation. Darren continues to treat patients and lecture nationally, with a specialization in cranial remolding orthoses for cranial abnormalities.
The STAR Cranial Center Of Excellence (SCCE) works closely with the area's leading pediatric neurosurgeons, craniofacial specialists, and pediatricians to treat patients with a variety of head shape anomalies including deformational plagiocephaly and craniosynostosis. SCCE is accredited by the ABC (American Board for Certification in Orthotics & Prosthetics.) Our clinical staff consists of ABC accredited Orthotists and exclusively offers an unparalleled level of specialized expertise in treating infants with plagiocephaly and craniosynostosis using the latest data acquisition technology, the STARscanner system. The STARscanner was the first scanning system approved by the FDA for the purpose of capturing 3D surface images of an infant's head shape. The STARscanner uses four Class I "eye-safe" lasers and 8 cameras, which eliminates the need for plaster casting. The digital scanning process is the fastest, most accurate means of capturing the detailed information, taking less than 2 seconds to complete and accurate up to 0.5 mm. The STARscanner also provides a detailed comparison analysis report allowing referring physicians and families to visualize head shape changes before, during, and after treatment . The STARscanner's efficacy has been documented and published in the highly respected Journal of Craniofacial Surgery.
In San Antonio, Texas Doctors David Jimenez, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery in the School of Medicine at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, and Constance M. Barone, MD, FACS, a Plastic Surgeon and Clinical Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery in the School of Medicine at the UT Health Science Center, provide a minimally invasive endoscopic surgical treatment for the congenital abnormality craniosynostosis. I have had the honor and privilege working with Dr. Jimenez and Dr. Barone and hundreds of families from across the world. The STAR Cranial Center of Excellence has become an integral part of the multidisciplinary team and has helped develop the Post-Op Cranial Remolding Orthosis (CRO) protocols for patients being treated with the endoscopic approach for craniosynostosis.
At the SCCE in San Antonio, Texas I utilize the data acquisition of the STARscanner and use the detailed measurements report as a tool to assist in the thorough analysis an infant's head shape, as well as, to determine the appropriate modifications required in the Post-Operative CRO.
On Wednesdays, we participate in a craniosynostosis clinic, and offer a Pre-Operative evaluation, which includes collecting patient and family histories, a digital scan using the STARscanner, anthropometric measurements, and photographs. A copy of the scan is provided to the families, and then the Post-Operative CRO treatment goals and protocol are discussed with the families. The goal of the Post-Operative CRO, or any CRO, is to reshape the skull by using the infant's exponential brain growth. The CRO does not restrict brain growth, but with time, will redirect growth into void areas to achieve the desired head shape. A full report is given to Dr. Jimenez at the craniosynostosis clinic and the results and clinical findings are further discussed with the families. Surgeries are scheduled for Thursdays, and patients are typically discharged from the hospital within one to two days. On Monday, the family and the patient visit our STAR Cranial Center of Excellence office for a follow up re-evaluation and scan. The scan is then emailed to Orthomerica, the manufacturer of the CRO, along with an order form detailing the patient's age, date of endoscopic surgery, involved synostotic suture, measurements and fabrication modifications for the Post-Operative CRO. The fitting of the Post-Operative CRO will be done within the next few days. The fitting of the Post-Operative CRO takes approximately 1 hour, which includes instruction on proper don and doffing, wearing schedules, and skin care and CRO maintenance. The family, patient, and I will again visit with Dr. Jimenez the following Wednesday at the craniosynostosis clinic to re-evaluate the patient and the fit of the Post-Operative CRO.
The patient will typically wear the Post-Operative CRO treatment for one year after surgery. Throughout the year, the patient will continue to check in with Dr. Jimenez and the STAR Cranial Center of Excellence, and depending on the patient's age and rate of growth, will require an average of three Post-Operative CROs.

Yancey Boys :: Sunset Blvd
Posted on December 16, 2013 by Erwin-Michael Melocoton // 0 Comments
In most cases, posthumous work is never as strong and as well developed as an artist's work while they're living. This statement seems like something that doesn't need to be said. Collections of B-sides and unreleased material are often a disjointed money grab by the labels that own the rights to the works of an artist. The latest example to come to mind would be Amy Winehouse's Lioness: Hidden Treasures.
Now, I don't think this is the case for J Dilla and his brother Illa J, aka the Yancey Boys. Sunset Blvd is a release that highlights just how far ahead of his time Dilla was by choosing some of the most boundary-pushing tracks that still fit into that time period of hip-hop through incorporating a boom-bap feel.
It's unfair to characterize his other releases as unnecessary, but they don't offer anything new in our perspectives of Dilla's music. Nor do these releases properly deliver a perspective that new listeners can use to understand him better.
They do, however, show how consistent and prolific he was in producing beats. The amount of work he's recorded is so prolific and the amount unreleased is so large that it's easy to picture a great release from him every year for the next 20 years. Yet, some of these releases have not lived up to the legacy that he left, other than Jay Stay Paid and the EP Yancey Boys.
Every posthumous release has featured numerous tracks that showcase what made Dilla's work the foundation for some of the most innovative contemporary producers, especially in the soul and jazz spaces of hip-hop production. But sometimes, even with the purest intentions, things don't work out right, most notably in how his work has been curated.
On those accounts, Sunset Blvd is a success because it corrects those issues. It does a great job of curating a specific period and highlighting what made Dilla's work so intriguing in the first place, whether it's how he chopped his samples, patterned his drums, or let a vocal loop hypnotize you. It doesn't have a disjointed feel nor does it lack the focus a lot of his other posthumous releases have. The album really hones in on specific characteristics, which is great when it's examined through the lens of Dilla's whole career.
Another aspect of the album that really helps brings Dilla's vibe to life is that the majority of rappers on the album are artists that Dilla developed working relationships with. Hearing Common go into his old flow on 'Quicksand' with the same type of lyrical position he had when they worked together only brings positive nostalgic highs.
With that being the case, Sunset Blvd provides a throwback experience while curating a perspective of Dilla that is useful for those trying to understand who he was as producer, yet didn't get to experience his production in that moment.

Brief Description: A Vancouver-based coffee chain with over 10 locations. Great coffee and delicious fresh baked goods.
I will happily confess that I am a coffee snob. Recently, I have found out that I am not alone; a lot of my colleagues are also self-proclaimed coffee snobs and so we spend a lot of time discussing our favourite cafés and the fundamentals of what makes a good coffee. My new affiliation with JJ Bean began out of necessity. I used to be blindly loyal to Café Artigiano but due to location changes of both, my home and office, I had to expand my choices and now JJ Bean is fast becoming one of my favourite spots for that much-needed caffeine-hit. I have now tried coffee (albeit, only lattes) from their Granville Island, Commercial Drive and CBC Downtown locations, and they have all been delicious. Through trial-and-error I have found that ordering low-fat milk seems to change the flavor and the latte becomes less smooth. Now, I always stick to how they make it regardless of the added calories.
Besides smooth, milky lattes the other reason that I go back to JJ Bean is for their freshly baked, still-warm muffins. For coffee shop chain food, JJ's is by far the most superior. Any place that bakes their food fresh rather than relying on pre-packaged, factory made baked goods, wins my loyalty every time. The type of baked goods available varies depending on the location. The Granville Island location doesn't sell them at all, the Commercial Drive store sells a lot more variety (including yummy carrot cake) and the CBC Downtown location has muffins, scones, sandwiches, and cookies. The best is when they are fresh out of the oven and still warm. Nothing will get you through a Monday morning better than dragging yourself to work with a warm muffin and a steaming cup of latte.

How does a ride inside a standalone Waymo cab look like?
Once upon a time, to go to the right place by cab, you had to catch it on the street or call the control service. But today, even in small settlements, you can call a car, just deliver it from your pocket to your smartphone. The cab industry is constantly developing and in the future "smart" cars will drive up to us with no drivers inside. You will just need to get into the salon and wait for the computer to take you to the right place. It seems to be fantastic, but the residents of the American state of Arizona already have the opportunity to take a cab ride. The autonomous cars driving on the roads of the Phoenix city work on the basis of technologies developed by Waymo. Recently, a long video has appeared in the Internet, which shows how Waymo cab rides look like in reality. Apparently, during the quarantine the developers did not sit idly by.
Offline cab Waymo
Testing of autonomous cab Waymo in the city of Phoenix has long been underway. But about March 2020 the service was stopped due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to Reuters, the work was resumed only in October. To order a stand-alone cab can anyone who downloads and installs a branded application Waymo for mobile devices. Previously, inside the salon of the autonomous cab often was a person who followed the actions of the car manager computer. But now clients of Waymo sit in empty salons, where there is a steering wheel, but there is no driver. Judging by the video published in the Internet, using a self-contained cab is a very interesting experience.
Unmanned Car Capabilities
The video was published in a section of the Reddit website. Previously, Waymo cab clients signed a non-disclosure document. Apparently, now the company has no secrets and users can shoot what is happening on video and share feedback. The published video lasts 1.5 hours, because it includes 4 trips. Each of them lasts about 20 minutes – the author clearly wanted the car to face as many difficult situations on the road as possible. And he carried out his plans perfectly.
Complex tests for a car start from the very beginning. For 51 seconds, you can see the video doing a three-point turn. Since the road is narrow, the car has to wrap in the yard, turn on the rear gear and only then turn in the right direction. At 00:06:50 the car passes by a stopped truck, which earlier may well have confused the autonomous transport. At 42 minutes the car smoothly gets out of the dead-end, and starting from 01:01.02 it is parked near the shopping center, where there are a lot of other cars and pedestrians.
The car interior deserves special attention. There is a driver's seat, but you can't sit on it. It is rather strange to watch the steering wheel spinning by itself. But Waymo service works in a test mode, so all this can be forgiven. Most likely, there will be no driver's seat or steering wheel at all in the future. Passengers will be allowed to sit there, but so far this is just a guess. But everything is great in the back seat too – there is a large display, which shows the route planned by the computer. There are also shown cars passing nearby.
To drive on the roads and not to get into traffic accidents, Waymo cars actively use data from the Google Street View service. On the car body there are video cameras and sensors, which help the computer to record each surrounding object and make decisions based on their trajectory. Initially, Waymo technologies did not allow cars to move in the rain and even recognize signals from traffic lights. But now there are no problems with this, so the development team is clearly worth praise.
Cab of the future
All four trips shown in the video went perfectly. This is impressive, because Waymo cars used to get into trouble many times. In February 2016, an autonomous cab made a mistake and crashed into a bus passing by. The reason for the accident was that the computer thought that the bus would decide to let him ride freely. On that day no one was injured, but a year earlier a car crashed into an unmanned vehicle under the control of another person. He was slightly injured, but the Waymo technology was not to blame.
When the Waymo cab service will be launched in other American states. But the fact that the cars are already so good at driving on their own, gives great hope. In 2020, Tesla also promised to launch its own cab service, but there is still no news about it. It would be interesting to compare which cars are better able to cope with driving on urban roads.

Sunny Grant, an employee of the county and a resident of Hailey, knew she'd never be able to get a house through the Blaine County Housing Authority. Despite the urgings of co-workers and friends, Grant said she wanted more space than the authority would assign her.
"They want to fill bedrooms," she said. "I wanted a backyard for my dogs and I wanted to live alone in a three-bedroom house. They're not in the business of providing bedrooms that will be empty."
When she went hunting for rentals earlier this year, she found she would be paying roughly $1,000 a month for the kind of home she needed. She'd rented in the valley since she arrived in 1984, and had no desire to buy a house, she said.
"I'm 63 years old," Grant said. "I have no children. I have no need for an investment. All I care about is the best place for me and my dogs to live."
That place turned out to be a small three-bedroom home in North Woodside, a foreclosure that had been vacated early last year.
Grant bought the $135,000 home with the help of Bank of America mortgage broker Teena Hill. Hill told her that through a deal with lender Fannie Mae and a Rural Development Loan, Grant could actually buy the home with no down payment and no closing costs (a deal which has since expired).
Now, instead of paying a $1,000 rent, Grant is making monthly mortgage payments of $800.
Grant met Hill through an authority workshop, and credits the authority and program director Nancy Smith with making home ownership possible for her. However, she admits that she could not have owned a house through that agency.
"I realized that, in fact, the Housing Authority was not going to be what I needed," she said.
Grant's experience—and the sliding price of houses throughout the valley—raises the question: How relevant is the affordable housing movement in today's economy?
Lila Wagner, a senior loan officer for Mortgage Associates in Ketchum, said the economic downturn has resulted in the best buyer's real estate market in years.
"Rates have never been lower," Wagner said. "Prices in many areas are now low enough that it makes more sense to purchase rather than rent."
Bank of America no longer processes the Rural Development loan that helped Grant, but Wagner still processes 100 percent, 30-year fixed Rural Development loans based on income restrictions, as do other lending institutions.
Such loans have been criticized in the past for allowing unqualified buyers to buy homes with no money down, only to go into foreclosure several years later if the owners' financial circumstances drop further.
But Wagner said the loans are an "important factor" in allowing interested buyers to buy homes, which in turn will help the market.
"There is definitely more interest now," she said. "If you are a qualified buyer, that dream home you couldn't afford a few years ago now might be in reach."
For example, in 2004, a "charming log home" with Baldy views in Ketchum was listed in the September Idaho Mountain Express Real Estate Guide at $895,000—this, for a home described as having "great remodel possibilities."
A similar property in the September 2011 guide, described as an "affordable home," is listed for less—$659,000—but that price may be more than many Blaine County residents would consider affordable, as incomes are still down nationwide. In Blaine County, adjusted per-capita income fell from $41,238 to $31,626 between 2000 and 2010, or 23 percent.
Michelle Griffith, executive director of the ARCH Community Housing Trust, contended that falling housing prices mean little to residents whose incomes are also falling due to the faltering economy.
"That doesn't make homes more affordable for our community," she said. "It just makes them less unaffordable."
Even foreclosures may not be affordable enough. David Patrie, executive administrator for the Blaine County Housing Authority, said the majority of foreclosures have to be paid for in cash.
"What people don't realize is that you can't buy auctioned [foreclosures] with a loan," Patrie said. "If you don't have cash, you're not going to buy it, and the people we deal with can't come up with that."
Griffith pointed out that many foreclosures are in need of repairs, and the process can be long and complicated. It took ARCH a year and a half to buy a foreclosed home on Sabala Street in West Ketchum, despite having the cash on hand and the ability to pour more than $70,000 of renovations into the building.
"That is really not an easy process or even a realistic one," she said. "You have to be prepared to go in and do pretty major rehabilitation. It would have been completely unaffordable [for a family]."
Developers of new housing projects in the county have been required to provide a certain percentage of the total units as affordable housing since the county commissioners passed a community housing ordinance in 2009.
George Kirk, owner and developer for The Kirk Group in Ketchum, said he supports the concept of creating more affordable housing.
"Having housing that is affordable for people working here is a precursor to economic development," he said, adding that he provided affordable housing as required during the "building boom" last decade.
But with the economic downturn, Kirk said, it's become almost impossible for developers to be financially solvent under the ordinance, as they must not only pay for the land for affordable housing, but build the units as well—the return on which is minimized because of income-based selling-price restrictions.
Kirk said as a result of these requirements, his housing projects have been stifled.
"It serves as an impediment to have anything developed," Kirk said. "[These ordinances] have imposed community housing as a cost to the development community. If you want to develop something, there's essentially an affordable-housing tax."
Last year, Kirk petitioned the county to allow him to donate nearly two acres of land from his Quail Creek development south of Ketchum to the ARCH Community Housing Trust, in place of building 19 affordable housing units on his own. The plan was to allow ARCH—which had the resources and funding—to develop community housing on that land sooner than Kirk could.
Kirk's request was rejected, a result of what he calls "counterproductive" policies.
Instead, he supports the Ketchum CDC's business model, under which it coordinates housing projects on city-owned land. Costs are minimized because the developer doesn't have to purchase the land, he said.
Affordable housing still appears to be in demand, despite falling housing prices. Griffith said affordable housing prices have been falling along with the markets, which can help pique interest in affordable homeownership.
"The affordable housing market mirrors the general real estate market," she said. "People who were not interested before because they had no hope are now interested. There are silver linings."
Jon Duval, executive director of the Ketchum Community Development Corp., said the demand continues to be strong for the recently completed Northwood Place rental complex. It took two months for the complex to fill up, but the buildings have remained full ever since, with nine units turning over by the end of the year.
Though the average rents for the units are comparable to or even more than similarly sized market-rate condos due to excess supply in the market, Duval said he hasn't had trouble filling the units that have opened up. CDC board member Dale Bates said tenants are willing to pay a little more for Northwood Place units because it's a new, energy-efficient building, resulting in less expensive utilities.
Bates argued that the fallen housing market and lackluster economy has driven down costs, allowing the CDC to push these projects with an eye toward future demand.
"This is the best time for the market to build up affordable housing, while costs are low," he said.
