The neighbor, who asked not to be identified out of fear of retribution, said Yao, identified by authorities as the man who fatally stabbed a 22-year-old Winchester woman inside the library yesterday morning, tried to "smash our door down" at 3 a.m. late last year.
The neighbor, a father of two young children, said he spoke with authorities about the incident and warned them that Yao posed a serious threat to the public.
One eyewitness told the Herald he heard a loud commotion coming from the reading section and saw Yao acting agitated and yelling incoherently.
The woman, whose name wasn't released last night, later died from her injuries, Ryan said. A 77-year-old man who was sitting near her at the time of the attack tried to stop the assault and suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, Ryan said. Other library patrons jumped in and subdued Yao until police arrived, she said.
Ryan said Yao is known to police but declined to elaborate. She said he will be arraigned tomorrow in Woburn District Court on charges of murder and attempted murder.
His neighbors weren't surprised to hear Yao was involved in the attack. Some neighbors said he has become increasingly aggressive in recent months and started keying cars, slashing tires and smashing bottles in the street.
One neighbor said she has been keeping her kids inside the house whenever Yao was around. Another said neighborhood residents have taken steps to protect themselves.
"People started buying bats to have by their beds," she said.
The woman said she and her neighbors tried to warn Winchester police but were told they were aware of Yao's behavior and had been shadowing him when he leaves his house at night.
Winchester police officials referred all questions to Ryan's office, which declined to answer questions about authorities' knowledge of Yao.
The horrific crime in such a public place rattled residents who passed by the scene yesterday.
The library will remain closed until at least Tuesday.
evil lives in america people.
to all liberal communist "you cant have my guns and you cant have my knives".
Gee, yet another loonie that the cops were INFORMED ON, and who was ignored.. HOW MANY MORE TIMES will this be allowed to happen, before we start CHARGING EACH AND EVERYONE of those LE officials who got told, with being an ACCESSORY TO EACH AND EVERY crime that individual commits?
Funny how the knife was used in a library named after the gun company.
Time after time the warning flag is waved. But police do nothing because the person has done nothing. There has to a process where these people are evaluated if necessary are incarcerated for public safety. But in this era, the people that will be killed have no rights.
There are laws allowing involuntary commitment in every state. The police are either too lazy to use them, or afraid of the ACLU.
IMO its more the latter, affraid if they DO follow the flags, they'd be sued.
The problem is liberalism. No one is supposed to go to prison anymore, because all of these liberals have to be "rehabilitated" by the liberal psychologists and liberal sociologists!
And when prisons are effectively country clubs (just overcrowded ones), why would anyone fear going to jail?
Any time I go out to eat I sit with my back to a solid wall where I can see entrances & exits. I watch people.
In grocery store, if someone behind me I the aisle I step aside with back to shelves & allow them to pass.
I am paranoid, yes. Paranoids live longer.
I am always very aware of my surroundings, & I carry. Always.
I don't do these things because I am afraid… I do them so I don't have to be afraid.
AND its not paranoia, or phobic to TRULY FEAR these things, when time after time we get proven THERE IS A REASON to have that fear.
WOW, what a total surprise, warnings of his impending murder of a innocent were ignored, GASP, how is this possible?. It seems as if this is the act, de-jour, in the new climate of ignorance in declining to pay attention to warnings of dire suspicions. SEE IT, SAY IT, but they must actually respond to it, or it is null and void.
It certainly seems that the # of crooks who the authorities KNEW ABOUT but did nothing, has grown since 2010… Those much often spoken of, 'cracks', have morphed into a mile frikken wide CANYON!
Was this guy violently insane, or a product of the moral decay in America brought upon us by fifty years of nihilism, the ends justify the means, Alinsky tactics, the end of personal responsibility, and hostility to religion and the morality that flows from all but one of them? Thank you ever so much Mario Savio, Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Angela Davis, Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama, and other socialists, communists, and useful idiots who proudly vote Democrat.
Another reminder that Patriots must rely on themselves and fellow Patriots. The false liberal narrative of "Leave your safety in the hands of the experts – they ARE the experts." sounds more and more hollow.
When seconds count, law enforcement is only minutes away. You don't need a gun, the gummint will protect you. I wonder if the library is a "gun-free zone." Any bets?
Its in boston, so most likely.

Tom Huck, also spelled Hück, (born 1971), is an American printmaker best known for his large-scale satirical woodcuts. He lives and works in St. Louis, Missouri, where he runs his own press, Evil Prints. He is a regular contributor to BLAB! of Fantagraphics Books. His work is influenced by Albrecht Dürer, José Guadalupe Posada, R. Crumb, and Honoré Daumier. Huck's illustrations have appeared in publications such as The Village Voice, The Riverfront Times, and the Minneapolis City Pages.

Huck's woodcut prints are included in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Library of Congress, Spencer Museum of Art, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Saint Louis Art Museum, Milwaukee Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Fogg Art Museum, Michael C. Carlos Museum, and New York Public Library. Huck has been represented by David Krut Art Projects in New York, Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, Duane Reed Gallery in St. Louis, Missouri, and Eli Ridgway Gallery in San Francisco.  Beginning in October 2017 Huck's gallery representation is C. G. Boerner in New York.

In September 2011 Huck was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.

Biography

Tom Huck was born on December 9, 1971 in Farmington, Missouri and grew up in nearby Potosi. He received a BFA in drawing from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1993 and an MFA in printmaking from Washington University in 1995. From 2000 to 2010 he was an instructor in printmaking at Washington University.

Work

Huck is best known for creating large-scale woodcuts acting as both satirical narratives and social criticism. He says in his artist statement: "My work deals with personal observations about the experiences of living in a small town in southeast Missouri. The often Strange and Humorous occurrences, places, and people in these towns offer a never-ending source of inspiration for my prints. I call this work 'rural satire'".

From 1995 to 2005, Huck created two woodcut folios: 2 Weeks in August: 14 Rural Absurdities and The Bloody Bucket. 2 Weeks in August: 14 Rural Absurdities, a thematically unified suite of 14 large woodcut prints, depicted 14 bizarre folk tales that allegedly occurred in Huck's hometown of Potosi, Missouri. The suite was produced in three years from 1995 to 1998. His second body of work, The Bloody Bucket, was based on violent legends surrounding a bar of that name in or around his hometown of Potosi. It comprises 10 large-scale woodcuts, executed between 1999 and 2005.

In December 1999, Huck's work represented the United States in an exhibition entitled From Kandinsky To Corneille: Linoleum in the Art of the 20th Century held at the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, Holland.  Featured in the exhibition was a large scale linoleum cut by Huck entitled "Attack of the 50ft. Yard Ornament".  The piece was commissioned specifically for the exhibition by the linoleum company Forbo-Krommenie in Amsterdam.

The Whitney Museum of American Art in September 2003 featured two works by Huck in an exhibition entitled To Be Human. Both the works featured were woodcuts from the series 2 Weeks in August.

Huck is currently working on a 14-triptych cycle of woodcut prints entitled Booger Stew. The first installment of the series, a triptych entitled "The Transformation of Brandy Baghead Pts. 1, 2, & 3", was completed in March 2009. An exhibition entitled Tom Huck and the Rebellious Tradition of Printmaking opened on August 28, 2009 at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Prints by Albrecht Dürer, William Hogarth, Jose Guadalupe Posada, and Max Beckmann were featured alongside Huck's "The Transformation of Brandy Baghead Pts. 1, 2, & 3".

On December 19, 2011, Huck's website www.evilprints.com announced the April 1, 2012, release of The Hillbilly Kama Sutra. This new suite of 15 linoleum cut prints is Huck's first portfolio of prints since 1998's 2 Weeks in August: 14 Rural Absurdities. On April 12, 2012, a selection of prints from the new series were released in the St. Louis weekly publication The Riverfront Times.  On May 4, 2012, Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, hosted the debut exhibition of The Hillbilly Kama Sutra.

In February 2013, Huck illustrated a cover story entitled "The 10 Weirdest Members of Congress" written by Caleb Hannan. The feature article appeared in The Riverfront Times and four other Voice Media Group publications: the Houston Press, Dallas Observer, Broward-Palm Beach New Times, and Minneapolis City Pages.  All five had a cover caricature of Michele Bachmann's head on a snake, referencing the "Don't Tread On Me" motif. The story featured 9 politicians in caricature.

In early spring of 2014 Huck completed work on his second major woodcut triptych from "Booger Stew" entitled "The Tommy Peeperz".  "The Tommy Peeperz" debuted in a show of The Outlaw Printmakers entitled "The Dirty Dozen" at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center on April 3, 2014.

An exhibition entitled "Tom Huck: Hopeless Americana" opened on October 17, 2015 at Gallery 210 at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.  Accompanying this 20 year retrospective was a catalogue that included essays by Richard Field, emeritus curator at the Yale University Gallery of Art. The exhibition included most of Huck's major works in print from 1995 to 2015, as well as sketchbooks and a small selection of studio ephemera.

In April 2017 the Library of Congress acquired "The Great War-Madillo", a chiaroscuro woodcut made by Huck as a tribute to Dürer's Rhinoceros.

On October 27, 2017 the exhibition "Booger Stew: The Monumental Triptychs of Tom Huck" opened at the old master print dealer/gallery C. G. Boerner in New York, New York.  The show featured Huck's most recent work, a large scale chiaroscuro woodcut triptych entitled "Electric Baloneyland". Featured as well were his other large woodcuts "The Tommy Peeperz" as well as "The Transformation of Brandy Baghead".  A selection of old master prints by Hogarth, Goya, and Durer were also shown in the exhibition.

An exhibition entitled "Rival Cuts: Process & Technique in Prints By Tom Hück and Albrecht Dürer" opened on February 9, 2019 at the Michael. C. Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.  The exhibition featured Hück's chiaroscuro woodcut "Electric Baloneyland" and prints from "Two Weeks in August", alongside prints by Albrecht Dürer from the "Apocalypse" series.

The July/August 2019 issue of Penthouse magazine featured an interview with Hück.  Interviewed by Seth Ferranti, the article covers Hück discussing the inspiration for many of his works, including his many art historical influences.

In December 2020 St. Louis art collectors Ted and Maryanne Ellison Simmons donated their entire collection of works by Tom Huck to the Saint Louis Art Museum.  The Simmons collection of Huck's works dates to 1995 and includes blocks, prints, preparatory drawings, and sketchbooks.  With the museum's previous holdings, this is the definitive archive for Huck's work.

Public works
Lambert International Airport in St. Louis, Missouri installed a large scale glass triptych by Huck in April 2012.  Entitled  "Vivere Est Volare"' (To Live Is To Fly), the piece was the first public art project undertaken by Huck.  The piece was produced in collaboration with stained glass manufacturer Franz Mayer & Co. in Munich, Germany.  The 3 paneled piece is installed in Concourse C at Lambert Airport.

In April 2015 Laumeier Sculpture Park in suburban St. Louis permanently installed 3 playground "spring toys" designed by Huck and fabricated based on his series of "Death Bug" prints.  It is the first interactive public art project Huck had undertaken.

Commercial work
Aside from creating woodcuts, Huck has also designed logos, posters, and apparel for musicians and organizations.  Huck has created the artwork on posters, t-shirts, and ephemera for bands such as Motorhead, The Roots, and A Perfect Circle among others. In 2002 he designed the cover of The Roots' album Phrenology, and in 2009 he designed the poster for the band Motörhead and their show at The Pageant in St. Louis. Other clients of Huck's have included Pabst Blue Ribbon and Art the Vote, for which he designed a billboard ad during the 2008 presidential election. In early 2015, Huck began collaborating with the music merchandise company Global Merchandising, working on apparel and exclusive merchandise projects for Motorhead. The first of these special projects was a limited edition t-shirt design entitled "Motorhead America", based on an earlier unused tour backdrop Huck designed with input from band frontman Lemmy.
Spring 2017 saw the first release from a planned 3 part, limited edition poster series "Motorhead: By Land, Air, and Sea". This series was available exclusively through the band's official website imotorhead.com.

Style and influences

Huck's work pushes the boundaries of technique and taste in his chosen medium, the woodcut. Huck draws his influences mainly from Northern Renaissance masters, such as Albrecht Dürer whom he cites as a "print hero". Other influences include José Guadalupe Posada, Honoré Daumier, and Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes.
Huck's work is also known for his delicate and intricate method of carving and use of cross-hatching in the print medium. It has been described as having "a real delicacy of touch" and "an extraordinary landscape of marks".

Huck is associated with a movement within contemporary American printmaking known as the "Outlaw Printmakers", a group that also includes Bill Fick, Richard Mock, Dennis Mcnett, Sue Coe, Sean Starwars, Carlos Hernandez, and Canonball Press.

Bomb exploded at the ministry of environment offices (Athens, 24/2/2008)
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/02/24/europe/EU-GEN-Greece-Bomb.php
"ATHENS, Greece: A bomb exploded outside Greece's Ministry of Environment and Public Works on Sunday, causing slight damage, officials said. No injuries were reported.
The bomb went off at 4:50 p.m. (1450 GMT) and smashed some windows at the ministry. Twenty-five minutes earlier, an unknown man had called daily newspaper Eleftherotypia to warn of the impending explosion.
"A bomb will go off in 25 minutes," he said. "This is not a hoax, inform people immediately."
The ministry's general secretary for Public Works and a few employees working at the time were evacuated by police.
Police officials, who found the remains of the bomb at a nearby trash can, said its makeup was similar to that of other bombs detonated by terrorist organizations "Popular Revolutionary Action" and "Revolutionary Struggle."

Is this related to the stand as such, or just the rod? It sort of sounds like a complete stand solution issue.
I get most of my brass rods from my local hobby shop or Lowes. I would recommend getting a dremmel if you don't already have one. You can get metal cutting saw blades for them so you can cut the rod to the desired length.
You can also get rods both hollow and solid depending on if you want to light the model or not from hobby websites. Below is an example of one site.

ALICEHEIMER'S
New Opera to be Previewed in Montpelier and Middlebury November 6 & 7, 2021
Music by Erik Nielsen, Libretto by Dana Walrath, based on her graphic memoir of the same name
Montpelier - On November 6 and 7, 2021 two preview showcase performances of Aliceheimer's, the new chamber opera by composer Erik Nielsen and artist, writer, and anthropologist Dana Walrath, will take place at Bethany Church in Montpelier and Town Hall Theater in Middlebury.
The opera will feature soprano Mary Bonhag as Alice, accompanied by pianist Alison Cerutti. Aliceheimer's, based on Dr. Walrath's graphic memoir of the same name, tells the story of Walrath's mother Alice, and her dementia journey, from her perspective. As Alice lives her experiences in front of our eyes, we gain insight not just into her condition, but into Alice as a person. Whether remembering her childhood, loving food, struggling with memory loss, living with her daughter or in a care home, Alice shows us love, humor, regret, wonder, confusion, sorrow, anger and so much more, all brought to life through the power of storytelling and music.
The Montpelier performance will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday November 6 at Bethany Church on Main Street. The Middlebury performance will occur at 7 p.m. on Sunday November 7 at the Town Hall Theater.
Composition of the music for Aliceheimer's was made possible, in part, by funding from the Vermont Community Foundation. Creation of the libretto was made possible in part by funding from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. There will be a discussion following each performance with Dr. Walrath, Mr. Nielsen and Ms. Bonhag.
Both performances are free of charge. Donations are encouraged and will help fund a full production of the opera. To donate through Monteverdi Music School (Aliceheimer's fiscal sponsor), go to https://tinyurl.com/8h2nrpe3

Q: Trying MD5 Hash in java Hi I have written a class to create a hash for a String input but my Program sometimes give same hash for two different input.
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;

public class Test {

public byte[] Hash(String input) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
{
    MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
    byte b[] = messageDigest.digest(input.getBytes());
    return b;
}

public static void main(String args[]) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
{
   Test t = new Test();
   byte[] hashValue = t.Hash("viud");
   String hashString = hashValue.toString();
   while(hashString.length()<32)
   {
       hashString = "0" + hashString;
   }
   System.out.println(hashString);
}

}

When my input to the function Hash() is "viud" the I am getting result as --> 0000000000000000000000[B@13e8c1c
And when my input String is "Hello" then also I am getting result as --> 0000000000000000000000[B@13e8c1c
But this case is happening only few times on program execution.
Every time I am running the Program,I am getting different hash generated for the same input value and also sometimes getting same hash value for two different inputs.
What happens exactly??

A:    byte[] hashValue = t.Hash("viud");
   String hashString = hashValue.toString();

toString on a byte[] will give you the memory (heap) address of the byte[]. This isn't what you want. You want
String hashString = new String(t.Hash("viud"));

Home > Artists > Byrds, The
It was a simple idea: take the folk song structure, wed it to a Beatle beat and count it off. That was the concept Jim McGuinn and Gene Clark were pursuing in clubs on the Sunset Strip when they met David Crosby. Together, these three young veterans of the folk scene recruited Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke to form one of the most influential rock bands of the Twentieth Century. While they began as an innovative folk-rock hybrid, their adventurous muse took them on many musical paths, creating raga rock and country rock along the way. With Jim, later Roger McGuinn as the constant, the group played on through many lineup shifts and left an indelible mark on popular music.
From the start, the Byrds were known for stellar songs, both those from their own pens as well as carefully chosen covers. Their debut single, a streamlined 4/4 version of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," was a massive hit and a clarion call to the folk generation to move forward. Among those who answered the call was Dylan himself, who was soon expanding his artistic presentation beyond'solo voice, acoustic guitar and harmonica to a full electric band approach. The Byrds' distinctive instrumental sound, led by McGuinn's chiming electric 12-string Rickenbacker guitar, provided a blueprint for countless groups and even influenced their mentors, the Beatles (listen to the slyly-titled "And Your Bird Can Sing" to hear the Liverpool lads' tribute to the California combo). Vocally, the Byrds were a powerhouse, capable of multi-part harmony and possessing three distinctive lead vocalists in McGuinn, Clark, and Crosby. Though they would'soon split apart, the impact of the initial lineup's big bang reverberates to this day.
What is truly remarkable about the Byrds is how readily they adapted to both personnel changes and the rapid musical evolution of the 1960s. Subsequent members Gram Parsons, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, Skip Battin, and John York all brought new and vital elements to the band. The group was also tuned to outside sources, incorporating strains of Ravi Shankar's sitar and John Coltrane's saxophone in "Eight Miles High," for example. They packed a lifetime of melodic innovation into a decade before moving on to new challenges. Sundazed is honored to present these seminal recordings, sourced from the original analog tapes, so that their singular music may live on.

Q: git rebase onto in IntelliJ IDEA I want to move a range of commits to another branch with rebase in IntelliJ IDEA. The process works flawlessly on the command line, but I can't get it to work in IntelliJ IDEA (version 15.0.1).
The following is what I do on the command line:
<feature-branch>: branch with the changes
<integrate-branch>: branch to which I want to move the changes
<commitId-rangestart>: commit id of the parent of the range start
<commitId-rangeend>: commit id of the range end
git checkout develop
git checkout -b <integrate-branch> develop
git rebase --onto <integrate-branch> <commitId-rangestart> <commitId-rangeend>
git rebase HEAD <integrate-branch>
git push -u origin <integrate-branch>

I configure the IntelliJ IDEA rebase dialog as follows:
Branch: <feature-branch>
Onto: <integrate-branch>
From: <commitId-rangestart>

This results in the following git command line:
git checkout <feature-branch>
git -c core.quotepath=false rebase -i -v -m --onto <integrate-branch> <commitId-rangestart> <feature-branch>

This does not lead to the desired result. I tried any combination in the rebase configuration, but no success.
Is there a way to use IntelliJ IDEA to achieve the same result as on command line?
Edit:
The result should be, that the commit range from <feature-branch> are copied to <integrate-branch>. This is what happens when I do the described steps on the command line. This post has a good description, including graphics, which describes what happens and what the result should be.
Depending on how I configure the IntelliJ IDEA rebase dialog, there are slightly different results from the process with IntelliJ IDEA. In the configuration described above, the <feature-branch> is rebased onto the HEAD of <integrate-branch>, no changes in <integrate-branch>.

    XML/JSON Attributes for Pareto Chart

A Pareto chart, named after Vilfredo Pareto, is a type of chart which contains both bars and a line. The values are represented by columns, which are arranged in descending order of magnitude, and the cumulative total of these values is shown by an upward curving line. Ideally, Pareto charts are used for isolating the key causes of a problem. However, they can also be used for determining the key factors of success.

The left vertical axis (primary axis) shows  frequency of occurrence, but it can alternatively represent cost or another important unit of measure. The right vertical axis (secondary axis) shows the cumulative percentage of the total number of occurrences, total cost, or total of the particular unit of measure.

Show below is a simple Pareto 2D Chart:

FusionCharts XT also has Pareto 3D charts.

The data for the above chart is shown below:

XML

JSON

<chart showvalues="0" caption="Software Testing Report" numberprefix="$" xaxisname="Type of Bugs" pyaxisname="No of Bugs">
  <set value="235000" label="Cross Platform"/>
  <set value="125100" label="Runtime"/>
  <set value="464200" label="GUI"/>
  <set value="434500" label="Functional"/>
</chart>

{
  "chart":{
    "showvalues":"0",
    "caption":"Software Testing Report",
    "numberprefix":"$",
    "xaxisname":"Type of Bugs",
    "pyaxisname":"No of Bugs"
  },
  "data":[{
      "value":"235000",
      "label":"Cross Platform"
    },
    {
      "value":"125100",
      "label":"Runtime"
    },
    {
      "value":"464200",
      "label":"GUI"
    },
    {
      "value":"434500",
      "label":"Functional"
    }
  ]
}

Note that the data for this chart is single series. You only have to provide values for the column. The percent values for line is automatically calculated and added to the chart. If for some reason, you do not wish to add the line dataset, you can set:

<chart ... showCumulativeLine='0' ..>

    Displaying values for the line series

You can opt to show data values of the auto generated line series by using showLineValues attribute. Setting this attribute to 1 helps in displaying the line dataset values in your chart. Shown below is an example:

XML

JSON

<chart showvalues="0" caption="Software Testing Report" numberprefix="$" xaxisname="Type of Bugs" pyaxisname="No of Bugs" showLineValues="1" >
  <set value="235000" label="Cross Platform"/>
  <set value="125100" label="Runtime"/>
  <set value="464200" label="GUI"/>
  <set value="434500" label="Functional"/>
</chart>

{
  "chart":{
    "showvalues":"0",
    "caption":"Software Testing Report",
    "numberprefix":"$",
    "xaxisname":"Type of Bugs",
    "pyaxisname":"No of Bugs",
    "showlinevalues":"1"
  },
  "data":[{
      "value":"235000",
      "label":"Cross Platform"
    },
    {
      "value":"125100",
      "label":"Runtime"
    },
    {
      "value":"464200",
      "label":"GUI"
    },
    {
      "value":"434500",
      "label":"Functional"
    }
  ]
}

The above XML/JSON  yields the following result:

    Customizing the line dataset

You can customize the properties of line series using the following <chart> attributes:

XML

JSON

<chart showvalues="0" caption="Software Testing Report" numberprefix="$" xaxisname="Type of Bugs" pyaxisname="No of Bugs" lineThickness="3" lineColor="FF0000" lineAlpha="80" lineDashed="1" lineDashLen="5" lineDashGap="5">
    <set value="235000" label="Cross Platform"/>
    <set value="125100" label="Runtime"/>
    <set value="464200" label="GUI"/>
    <set value="434500" label="Functional"/>
</chart>

{
  "chart":{
    "showvalues":"0",
    "caption":"Software Testing Report",
    "numberprefix":"$",
    "xaxisname":"Type of Bugs",
    "pyaxisname":"No of Bugs",
    "linethickness":"3",
    "linecolor":"FF0000",
    "linealpha":"80",
    "linedashed":"1",
    "linedashlen":"5",
    "linedashgap":"5"
  },
  "data":[{
      "value":"235000",
      "label":"Cross Platform"
    },
    {
      "value":"125100",
      "label":"Runtime"
    },
    {
      "value":"464200",
      "label":"GUI"
    },
    {
      "value":"434500",
      "label":"Functional"
    }
  ]
}

This results in:

    Hiding secondary axis values

If you wish to hide the y-axis values of secondary axis, you can set:

<chart ... showSecondaryLimits='0' showDivLineSecondaryValue="0" ...>

This results in:


So what qualifies you to tell me about the car I have listed on eBay ?
Idiots. The GT-R listing brings out idiots. If you are an idiot, don't send me a message on eBay. I'm not even going to send you a hat anymore.
A: Is that a question or a statement ? Its a GT-R. The chassis number is BCNR33 . It has an RB26DETT in it. It is all wheel drive. It has aluminum hood and front fenders. Brembo brakes.
easy dude i ment to say its like a GTS because the engine is not twin turbo.
This is a GT-R. It is twin turbo. When you have 7 years experience working on Nissan Skyline GT-R's , then you can talk , till then STFU.
Are you an idiot ? Why exactly do you think this is not a twin turbo ? Does the toy car you have not have twin turbo ?
Do you need a picture of the engine - showing the "twin turbo" piping to prove to your feeble mind that this car is a twin turbo car ?
I work on these cars every single day. This car is a twin turbo car. STFU and go back into your hole.
can i buy your GTS wheels for my GTR? and why wont they FIT? will you take 1700 shipped?
OMG, this is absolutely annoying and stupid yet entertaining!!!
lmao. I guess he didn't see the twin t's on the end of that engine code? What are they commenting for anyway.
If I ever considered buying a GT-R sight-unseen off e-bay (pretty unlikely honestly) I'd at the very least be getting engine and chassis numbers to run through FAST, make sure it is (and always has been) the same car that rolled off the line.
But I think those guys are just annoying teenage rubberneckers lol.

Exclusive Interview with Filmmaker Ron Purtee!
Clifford K | 24 January 2012 | Interviews, Movie Lounge | Indie. Movie Lounge. Interview. | 0 Comments
The Critic's Word editor in chief Clifford Kiyabu s its down with Indie horror master Ron Purtee for an exclusive interview. As a Wisconsin local, Ron is a striving independent director, writer and self-proclaimed Kicker of Asses! He's also the owner of Vinyl and Villains Films and is most notably known for his 2011 acclaim web-series The Social Media Massacre! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ron to talk shop about his past and present projects as well as his love of the horror genre.
Clifford: First off, thank you for dropping by our little space of the interweb for an interview.
Ron: No problem. Pretty cozy. I like what you've done with the place.
Clifford: Since this is your first time here I think my readers would be interested in knowing a bit about the man behind the camera, what can you tell us about yourself?
Ron: I was born and raised in a "small" town in Wisconsin. I've always wanted to entertain in one form or another and that's lead me to where I am now..
Clifford: impressively enough, you're both a writer and director. Which of the two do you find the most challenging?
Ron: They each have their challenges. Writing, actually coming up with the idea is hard enough in and of itself but being on set and trying to get every comma up on the screen, that can be ulcer creating as well. haha
Clifford: Some of the actors you've worked with have spoken highly of you, is keeping those in your productions happy a priority?
Ron: For sure. We tend to work super quick, and super cheap so making the focus in front of the camera as happy as possible is the way to go.
Clifford: Your films tend to have a very twisted tone to them, why is that?
Ron: I think a lot of pictures tend to lean towards the happy endings and well, Im all about upsetting the apple cart.
Clifford: I assume it's safe to say you're a fan of the "SAW" films?
Ron: Actually, and this is going to sound really weird, but I'm a fan of Darren Lynn Bousman, but not so much of the SAW franchise.
Clifford: Seeing that you're into upsetting themes what are your thoughts on Tom Six's "The Human Centipede" films?
Ron: Shock for shock's sake. There is at least a reason for the disturbing themes in my films. I can only imagine how those films came to be. He must have woken up one day and said, "I wanna sew someone's lips to someone's asshole!"
Clifford: All creative artists have their niche in which they draw their inspiration from, what is yours?
Ron: Society really. The first Social Media Massacre short was taken from the growing trend in society that no one wants to be alone. Myself included. Then I read "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner and it all kind of clicked..
Clifford: So now that your project "Love is Not Enough" is out there, what's in store for you next as a filmmaker?
Ron: Well, Minion and Nightmare are both in the cans and I'm not sure if I am taking a break for the holidays or what yet. I do have a short that I'm writing for a contest that I don't want to jinx but it would be one of my first real journeys outside of the horror genre.
Clifford; Care to elaborate on how far from the horror genre this journey will take you?
Ron: It's a total and complete 180. The only thing "horror" about it is the way it makes you feel in the end. No blood. No guts. No killers.
Clifford: As a director, what would be your dream project to work on?
Ron: I'd love to direct something that Garry Charles wrote again. The segment he wrote for Social Media Massacre still makes me cringe and I directed it! I'd also love to direct something that Todd Farmer or Simon Barrett wrote. Just my bucket list.
Clifford: Speaking of remakes, how do you feel about all horror icons getting the "re-imagining" treatment as of recent?
Ron: Remake something that DIDN'T work. I've been VERY vocal recently about how I want to remake Cherry 2000. From what I have read the original producer is on top of that already. So Edward Pressman, I know you are reading this. We need to talk.
But seriously, I think remaking old horror films shouldn't be done unless it was a film that didn't work in the first place. Plain and simple.
Clifford: Okay but for the sake of argument, if a remake is being made regardless if it worked or not; do you feel there should be a grace period of time allowed to pass before a studio decides to jump on the bandwagon of remaking it?
Ron: For sure. The fact that they were trying to remake the Crow sickened me. I remember on set for Love Is Not Enough, Tina Renee Grace and I would talk for a fair amount of time between takes about how remaking that film is pure evil. And the way that they are rebooting Spider-Man after just a few years? I mean does big Hollywood have NO ideas left?
Clifford: So if you were the one remaking Cherry 2000, who would be your dream cast for the film?
Ron: Right now I only have two folks that I would HAVE to have. In the Melanie Griffith role, Tina Renee Grace I think she would be perfect and in the Tim Thomerson role. Christopher Meloni. Him leaving SVU for True Blood pissed me off so damn bad.
Clifford: Seeing that most of your work is done over the internet, what seems to be the most challenging aspects of working on the internet as a filmmaker?
Ron: Getting exposure. It's really one of the biggest draw backs to working on the net. You have thousands of videos coming out on a daily basis and you tend to get sucked into the vortex.
Clifford: And the most rewarding?
Ron: Instant feedback. Knowing what people think right away is always great. You don't want to wait for a release date for the folks to really let you know if they liked or didn't like what you've done.
Clifford: Okay now this next question is The Critic's Word' signature question so don't feel alarmed, you're not the only one [Laughter]
Ron: Lay it on me boss!
Clifford: The term 'For The Sake of Art' has always been coined in the entertainment industry for how far an actor/actress would be willing to go for, well… the sake of art. So my question to you is; How far are you willing to go for the sake of art in this industry?
Ron: I really don't know if I can answer that yet. I always try to make my actors and actresses as comfortable as possible. I guess the farthest I've gone so far is to perhaps cause lack of sleep on the set of "From the Heart" from The Social Media Massacre. That was a VERY long shoot. (Laughter)
Thanks for dropping by The Critic's Word, Ron. We'd love to see you back again sometime. For those of you interested in knowing more about Ron Purtee you can check him out at the following:

Once again thanks to Ron Purtee for sitting down with me for a no holds bar interview. Thanks for reading.

Ladies and Gentlemen, readers and fellow movie buffs! Welcome to the 1st annual "Critic's Honorable Entertainment Winners In Excellence...


BALTIMORE — Over the last few years, women have been reaching milestones, which a mere decade ago weren't fathomable within the Army. These great accomplishments, such as serving in combat arms and becoming Rangers, that my sisters-in-arms have been achieving made me think of the popular propaganda figure during World War II, Rosie the Riveter. In many ways, these female soldiers are modern-day Rosies, flexing their muscles with a look in their eyes that says, "We can do it!" If only Rosie could see us now. While it is great to celebrate these women of valor, I think it is also important to remember where it all started.
Women were called to action during World War II. Elaine Tyler May, historian and author of "Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era" claims women were not only tolerated in the paid labor force but actively encouraged to take "men's jobs" as a patriotic duty to keep the war economy booming while men went off to fight. Recruiting posters and propaganda were popping up all over the country. According to the 1950's census, eight million, six hundred and thirty-five thousand married women hung up the apron and replaced it with work gloves and slacks during World War II, which doubled compared to the four million, six hundred and seventy-five thousand reported in the 1940s United States census.
Although many American women were not enlisting into the Army, they found their place in war production. Women Ordnance Workers, more commonly known as WOWs, would work in the factories making ammunition and explosives. The WOWs were civilians who were government contracted, unlike the uniformed ladies in the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) and the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAACs). Just like depicted in the Rosie the Riveter poster, the WOWs could be identified by their blue coveralls and red and white polka-dotted bandanna wrapped around their head, which kept their hair from turning bright orange from handling explosives.
The explosives factory published a monthly news magazine. One of the segments, published in October 1943, asked the women of Triumph, "Why do you work here?" Among the many answers, a few read, "I want to try and do my part in winning the war," said Virginia Williams. Minnie Ferguson said, "That's a silly question. Of course I came here to help in the offense effort." "I felt that, by working here I could help win the war. I'll admit that the good wages were an added inducement, but the overall reason was to help win the war," said Mary Wright.

Rod Gudino runs his horror empire from a former funeral home
You might fancy him mad. But, as Edgar Allan Poe wrote, madmen know nothing. Who but the mentally robust, the compos mentis, could spawn a horror empire – magazine, radio station, national expo, movie theatre – from the confines of a former funeral home and remain psychologically unscathed?
Rod Gudino (BA 1996 VIC) launched the linchpin of his demonic dynasty – Rue Morgue magazine – on Halloween 1997. The idea came to him in a gothic store in Toronto, when he realized that horror entertainment had extended beyond cinema and sunk its talons into video games, comic books and toys. He thought a horror magazine could marry modern pop culture with his own academic interests. While majoring in philosophy and literary studies at U of T, Gudino had been consumed by such existentialist works as Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling and Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy – "both very much rooted in the concepts of anxiety and fear and dread," he says. "I understood pop culture would support the magazine, but it could also be a platform to explore other ideas and be intellectually interesting for myself."
The magazine is a witches' brew of mixed media, philosophical meanderings and what could be described – depending on the strength of one's stomach – as lowbrow gore. Recent issues have featured essays on the literature of H.G. Wells; zombie comics by George Romero (director of Night of the Living Dead); reviews of horror video games; and a column called "The Coroner's Report" – a ghoulish take on the Harper's Index that features demonic trivia (to wit: it took 1 minute and 17 seconds for the first criminal to be executed in the electric chair).
Gudino has slowly expanded his underworld dominion to include Rue Morgue radio – an online radio station that plays a selection of macabre music – and the annual Festival of Fear, held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The gathering is Canada's largest horror expo, and this year featured such celebrities as Linda Blair (the maniacal head-spinning child in The Exorcist) and fiendish writer and director Clive Barker.
Last November, Gudino had a stroke of good luck when one of Toronto's oldest funeral homes, at Dundas St. W. and Keele St., came on the market. It now serves as head office for him and his staff of nine. ("It is just a dream place, really," he sighs. "I'm still kind of pinching myself.") The decor looks as though Debbie Travis's gothic doppelgänger came in, pointed her stave and hatched funeral-home chic. A figurine of Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre sits on a computer top, while posters of such dark alternative films as David Lynch's Eraserhead decorate the walls. A row of faux-granite tombstones – with the names of staff members past and present – line the main hallway. (One particularly valued former staff member is immortalized with the epigraph, "Her subscription has expired.") Caged rats Ben and Willard, named after rodent horror flicks from the 1970s ("Ratsploitation films," jokes Gudino), share office space with the magazine's editors.
Gudino's latest endeavour has been to convert the funeral home's chapel into a 100-seat movie theatre, where he shows weekend creepfests to locals. The room also doubles as a wedding chapel: the first black wedding was held there in June, where the tattooed bride – resplendent in a strapless black gown and carrying blood-red roses – was given away by her beaming father.
At the end of a long day, Gudino – like Nosferatu retiring to his inner sanctum – retreats to his dwelling in the upstairs quarters of the funeral home. Does he sleep peacefully? Certainly. Have any possessed entities visited him? Not yet. However, the police once told him that someone had been murdered in the backyard and that lights in the house often flicked on and off at night. (They eventually confessed to lying.) The one drawback of Gudino's home isn't spectral stalkings, but rather a practical matter. His apartment was formerly used by a mortician to give embalming lessons to students. "You can still," he says, "occasionally smell the embalming fluid."

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Botafogo drew 1-1 with reigning champions Cruzeiro last night in the thirteenth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro at the Maracanã Stadium. The visitors dominated, especially in the second half, but couldn't notch a fifth consecutive victory as the Carioca club clung on for a share of the spoils.
Cruzeiro go close to snatching the game, image recreation.
Cruzeiro enjoyed more ball possession, 57 percent to Botafogo's 43 percent, and had eighteen shots on goal compared with Fogão's eight. Jefferson kept the league leaders at bay during a late onslaught.
The draw means Botafogo move onto thirteen points from as many games. They also sit in thirteenth place, while Cruzeiro top the Brasileirão pile with 29 points, although rivals will now have a chance to make up ground on the Belo Horizonte outfit.
Last night the Minas Gerias club made a slow start. Accustomed to racing out of the blocks, Botafogo managed to keep them quiet and made a good start themselves. While technically inferior, Botafogo nevertheless managed to match their opponents for the opening period, taking the lead after 25 minutes.
Lucas crossed from the right and Edílson directed his header beyond Cruzeiro goalkeeper Fábio. Then towards the end of the first half Cruzeiro were already wresting the game from their hosts. Botafogo tried to break on the counter-attack but were blocked by the excellent Dedé.
In the second half, the game's panorama continued to edge towards Cruzeiro dominance. The equalizer finally arrived on 59 minutes. Everton Ribeiro sent in a deep cross, Dedé headed down and defensive partner Leo steered the ball home. It was no less than they deserved.
After pulling level the visitors cranked up the pressure, Willian sending an effort from range crashing against the crossbar. At the end, Jefferson made an excellent save from Dagoberto to secure a point for the Glorioso.
This afternoon, Flamengo travel to Santa Catarina to face Chapecoense. Fluminense host Goiás at the Maracanã.

\section{Introduction}

The quantum few-body problem, in which a small number of particles is considered at length and energy scales for which quantum mechanics governs their behavior, is a cornerstone in the bottom-up approach to study the fundamental laws of physics~\cite{Kunitski15,Wang18,Liang18}.
Due to their superb versatility, ultracold atom systems,
have proven to be one of the main experimental platforms for this research~\cite{Wenz13,Liu18,Guan19,Reynolds20}.
At the heart of the few-body problem lies the so-called Efimov effect which describes the formation of weakly bound triatomic molecules in the regime where the two-body interactions become extraordinarily large~\cite{Efimov70,Braaten&Hammer06,Greene17,Naidon17,D'Incao18}.
The growing evidence for the emergent three-body correlations in strongly interacting quantum gases strengthens the far-reaching role of the Efimov effect in bridging the few- and many-body physics~\cite{Levinsen15,Fletcher17,Klauss17,Sun17,Pierce19}.
Therefore, its thorough understanding over the entire parameter space is of paramount importance.

The versatility of ultracold gases includes the tunability of the two-body interactions, characterized by the {\it s}-wave scattering length $a$, using Feshbach resonances~\cite{Chin10}.
Efimov physics is revealed when $|a|\gg r_{vdW}$ ($r_{vdW}$ is the length scale associated with the two-body van der Waals interaction potential) and among its peculiar features are a universal (i.e. independent of short-range details) discrete scaling of the binding energies $E_{T}^{(n)}$ ($n=0,1,2,\dots$ denotes the $n$-th trimer), namely $E_{T}^{(n)}/E_{T}^{(n+1)}\approx22.7^2$, and the fact that it remains bound for both positive and negative $a$, even though the conventional two-body bound state, the Feshbach dimer, only exists for $a>0$ (Fig.~\ref{fig:illustration}a).

\begin{figure*}

\end{figure*}

When $|a|\gg r_{vdW}$, all three-body observables depend on two quantities: the scattering length $a$ and a three-body parameter which serves as a boundary condition to prevent the Thomas collapse~\cite{Thomas35}.
It is well established by now that the three-body parameter, represented by the scattering length $a=a_{-}^{(0)}$ at which the ground state Efimov trimer merges with the free atom continuum (for $a<0$, see Fig.~\ref{fig:illustration}a), is universally related to $r_{vdW}$ ($a_{-}^{(0)}=-9.7\,r_{vdW}$) for predominantly open-channel dominated ($s_{res}\gg1$) Feshbach resonances~\cite{Gross10,Berninger11,Wang12,Naidon14}.
This means that only the two-body quantities, $a$ and $r_{vdW}$, are necessary to calculate three-body observables and the notion of Efimov universality (sometimes called Efimov-van der Waals universality) reaches further than initially thought.
However, Efimov trimers in the vicinity of a closed-channel dominated Feshbach resonance ($s_{res}\ll 1$) do not follow this simple rule as was shown in recent precision measurements~\cite{Johansen17,Chapurin19}.
The common explanation is that they are more sensitive to finite-range corrections~\cite{Langmack18}.

On the positive scattering length side of the Efimov spectrum the available experimental data is sparse and inconclusive~\cite{Mestrom17}.
In theory, according to a general argument based on a variational principle applied to a finite range potential, the ground state trimer does not merge with the atom-dimer continuum ($a_\star^{(0)}$ does not exist)~\cite{Bruch73}.
It is also generally accepted that higher Efimov excited states ($n\geq2$) do merge and $a_\star^{(n)}$ are universally related to other Efimov features.
Hence, the behavior of the first excited Efimov state ($n=1$) is uncertain, especially in the vicinity of an intermediate Feshbach resonance ($s_{res}\approx1$).
Does it merge with the atom-dimer continuum in accordance with the $n\geq2$ excited states, or is there an avoided merger similar to the ground state despite the fact that the variational argument is not applicable?

This intriguing question, which is directly linked to the barely explored strength and origin of finite range corrections, cannot be addressed by currently available experimental techniques.
An apparent signature of merging of the first excited Efimov energy level with the atom-dimer continuum was obtained by measuring inelastic losses in an atom-dimer mixture~\cite{Knoop09,Bloom13,Zenesini14,Kato17}.
This method, however, is immune to the question of merging.
As was recently pointed out, enhancement in the atom-dimer inelastic collisional cross-section does not necessarily signify the merging point.
Instead, the trimer state could simply approach the atom-dimer continuum and then rebound from it, quickly becoming a deeply bound state~\cite{Mestrom17,Mestrom19}.
Another promising experimental method utilized loss spectroscopy to detect the trimer energy level directly, but failed to approach the merging point due to the unavoidable finite resolution limit set by the experimental conditions~\cite{Machtey12}.
Thus, known experimental techniques are no good for the task.

\section{Concept and Main Results}

Here we apply a recently developed experimental method to probe the first excited Efimov trimer in direct vicinity of its (possibly avoided) merger with the atom-dimer continuum (denoted $a_{\star}^{(1)}$, see Fig.~\ref{fig:illustration}a)~\cite{Yudkin19}.
The idea is to cast a system of three particles into a coherent dimer-trimer superposition (DITRIS) state and observe the accumulated phase difference of the quantum mechanical time evolution.
As a result we gain access to the relevant range of the Efimov energy level and demonstrate an order of magnitude improvement in precision compared to loss spectroscopy measurements~\cite{Lompe10RF,Nakajima11,Machtey12}.
In fact, previously applied methods for measuring three-body observables were predominantly based on inelastic (and mainly incoherent) scattering which causes loss of atoms.
In contrast, the experimental procedure applied here is lossless (the timescale is too short for particle loss) and potentially opens the door to study elastic scattering processes and the trimer's intrinsic lifetime.

Our main observation provides a definite answer: the first excited Efimov state does not merge with the atom-dimer continuum but instead rebounds from it.
With decreasing scattering length it approaches the continuum at first but then reemerges as a bound state to, most-likely, eventually become deeply bound.
Moreover, the functional form of the scattering length dependence of the binding energy around the point of minimal approach is highly non-universal which indicates the cross-over to a non-Efimovian three-body bound state.
In addition the magnetic moment of the bound state is observed and we show that it suddenly changes at the turning point.

\section{Experiment}

The DITRIS experiment is conducted on bosonic lithium ($^7$Li) atoms in the second lowest internal energy state which possesses two Feshbach resonances (see Appendix~\ref{ap:experimental details}).
The broader of the two is of intermediate strength between being open- and closed-channel dominated with $s_{res}=0.493$~\cite{Jachymski13}.
Based on the known position of $a_-^{(0)}=-280\;a_0$~\cite{Gross11} and applying universal relations one can na{\"i}vely predict $a_\star^{(1)}=288\;a_0$ ($a_0=0.529\times10^{-10}$ m is the Bohr radius).
However, experimental measurements at this scattering length showed that the trimer's binding energy remains $\gtrsim h\times100$ kHz below the atom-dimer continuum ($h=6.6\times10^{-34}$ m$^2$kg/s is Planck's constant)~\cite{Machtey12}.
In this experiment the binding energy was detected by radio-frequency (rf) loss spectroscopy based on inelastic (incoherent) collisions.
The resolution was limited by inherent power broadening of the dimer loss feature and denied access to trimer binding energies $|E_T|\lesssim|E_D|+h\times100$ kHz which prevented observation of the predicted trimer dissociation.
The coherent DITRIS experiment on the other hand is especially well-suited for the regime of interest: $|E_T-E_D|\lesssim100$ kHz~\cite{Yudkin19}.
As illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:illustration}c, a thermal gas of free atoms (temperature: $T=1.5\;\mu$K; $k_BT/h\approx30$ kHz, $k_B=1.38\times10^{-23}$ J/K is Boltzmann's constant) is subjected to a short ($10\;\mu$s) and strong rf modulation of the magnetic field.
The carrier frequency is $\sim E_D/h$ which falls in the range of $5-15$ MHz.
Note that $k_BT<|E_T-E_D|\ll E_D$, i.e. there is a clear separation of energy scales in our system (Fig.~\ref{fig:illustration}b).
Crucially, the modulation time is short enough so that its bandwidth covers both bound states (the dimer and the trimer) and therefore associates DITRIS states from the free atom continuum (Figs.~\ref{fig:illustration}a and~\ref{fig:illustration}c).
After a variable free evolution time $t$, during which each constituent of the superposition accumulates a phase proportional to its binding energy, a second pulse attempts to dissociate the molecules.
The time-dependent phase difference leads to interference in the final number of free atoms.
One expects the number of atoms $N(t)$ to vary sinusoidally with the free evolution time $t$ at the frequency $|E_T-E_D|/h$.
Measuring this oscillation is thus equivalent to measuring the trimer binding energy relative to that of the atom-dimer threshold.

In Fig.~\ref{fig:number and spectrum illustration}a we show the experimental $N(t)$ for a few representative values of the scattering length.
One notes the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) which is explained as follows.
The atoms are, to a good approximation, motionless during the pulse (because it is shorter than the inverse thermal energy $h/k_BT\approx30\;\mu$s) and hence DITRIS states are associated only if three atoms happen to be in close enough proximity to each other.
They don't have time to move around and look for partners.
This ultimately limits the DITRIS association efficiency, and hence the oscillation amplitude, to a few percent for the given experimental conditions.

The range of the free evolution time $t$ was chosen such that $N(t)$ is barely affected by the decoherence time $\tau$, caused either by elastic collisions or by the trimer's intrinsic lifetime.
The low SNR does not permit precise measurement of $\tau$ but empirically we do not observe signs of decay for $t<200\;\mu$s~\cite{Yudkin19}.
This deserves further in depth investigation, in practice however, by keeping $t<200\;\mu$s, we may neglect the decay in the data analysis~\cite{supMat}.

\section{Data Analysis and Discussion}

In order to detect the dominant frequency contribution we utilize a specially developed three-parameter fit analysis (3PA), inspired by Fourier transform but based on a least-squares fit to $N(t)/N_0=1+A\cos\left(\omega t+\varphi\right)$; $A$, $\omega$ and $\varphi$ being the fitting parameters and $N_0$ the average number of atoms~\cite{Yudkin19,supMat}.
Applied to $N(t)$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:number and spectrum illustration}a, the analysis results in the spectra shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:number and spectrum illustration}b.
The dominant frequency contribution for $265\;a_0$ ($157\;a_0$) is $102.6(9)$ kHz ($80.9(9)$ kHz).
The number in parentheses indicates 1$\sigma$ fitting errors.
We note that the value for $265\;a_0$ agrees within errorbars with our previous measurement for this scattering length, reported in~\cite{Yudkin19}.
For the intermediate value $164\;a_0$ no dominant oscillation frequency was detected.

Our method has two limitations: an upper and a lower bound.
The upper bound is due to the bandwidth of the pulse.
For too large $|E_T-E_D|/h$ the pulse no longer efficiently covers both bound states which diminishes the amplitude even more.
Considering the shape of the pulse we set our upper bound to $120$ kHz (see Appendix~\ref{ap:experimental details}).
The lower bound is connected to the inherent decay of coherence and the low SNR.
The 3PA needs at least four to five full periods to faithfully return the dominant frequency contribution.
Hence we are not able to detect frequencies below $20-25$ kHz.
Alternatively, if we assume a rather fast rate of elastic collisions, chemical equilibrium between trimers, dimers and free atoms results in a vanishing decay time for $|E_T-E_D|\lesssim k_BT$.
This gives a lower bound of $\sim30$ kHz.
Either way, the non-detected frequency at $164\;a_0$ is expected to be below this lower bound.

To reveal how $|E_T-E_D|/h$ depends on $a$, and to witness the avoided merger, we have repeated the experiment at several values of $a$ (Fig.~\ref{fig:spectrum}).
For decreasing scattering length one sees that the dominant frequency decreases, vanishes, and then reappears and starts to increase rapidly.
This is also shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}a where the obtained data is plotted together with the rf loss spectroscopy data from~\cite{Machtey12}.
For comparison we also show the universal theory and a fit of the loss spectroscopy data to the universal functional form, extended to include finite range corrections~\cite{Gattobigio14} (see Appendix~\ref{ap:Efimov physics}).
In addition to $a/a_0=164$, also for $a/a_0=151$ no dominant frequency contribution was found by the 3PA (see Fig.~\ref{fig:spectrum} and red arrows in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}a); this time most probably due to the upper bound.

\begin{figure}[b]

\includegraphics[width=1.\linewidth]{spectrumVSscat.pdf}

\textbf{3PA for various $a$.}
The fitted amplitude is shown as a function of the fitted frequency for various values of the scattering length across the avoided merger.
The three spectra from Fig.~\ref{fig:number and spectrum illustration}b are shown again.
The curves are shifted with respect to each other by an offset for clarity.}
\end{figure}

The grey line at $|E_T-E_D|=0$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}a shows the dissociation limit.
If it is reached the trimer dissociates into a dimer and a free atom (atom-dimer continuum).
Although our measurements seem to follow the finite-range corrected universal theory for $a/a_0>200$ (which predicts $a_*^{(1)}\approx80\, a_0$) they take a sudden turn towards the dissociation limit in stark disaccord with the theory.
It seems as if the dissociation limit will be reached when $a$ is further reduced to $\sim167\;a_0$.
This is supported by our failure to detect oscillations at $a/a_0=164$.
However, at $a/a_0<160$ the behavior changes abruptly and the trimer reemerges as a bound state.
Note that we cannot confirm that the trimer remains bound for all $160<a/a_0<176$.
It is possible that the trimer energy level turns around inside the continuum, where it would form a virtual bound state.

\textbf{Rebounding trimer.}
{\bf a.}
The dominant frequency contribution from Fig.~\ref{fig:spectrum} is plotted as a function of the inverse scattering length (red points).
The typical horizontal and vertical error bars, $\sim1a_0$ and $\sim1$ kHz respectively, are smaller than the point size.
The red arrows indicate the two values of $a$ at which no oscillations where detected and the dashed grey lines show our lower and upper detection limit.
The solid red line is a linear fit to the three points after the trimer rebounds from the atom-dimer continuum ($a<160a_0$).
For comparison we include the loss-spectroscopy measurements~\cite{Machtey12} as open blue squares, the universal theory as a grey line and the fit to an extended universal theory~\cite{Gattobigio14} as a purple curve.
{\bf b.}

\end{figure*}

Either way, instead of a tangential and slow approach of the trimer energy level to the atom-dimer continuum (as predicted by the universal functional form) a rather narrow resonant feature is revealed in the experiment.
The behavior of $|E_T-E_D|$ thus raises the question: what finite-range effect (or effects) leads to the observed behavior?
Coincidental crossing of a non-universal three-body state is a possibility, however the fast change in the slope at $a/a_0\approx200$ is uncharacteristic for a standard avoided energy level crossing making this scenario implausible.

Although the question remains open it is instructive to follow the trimer's magnetic moment and identify a sudden change.
The slope of a molecules' binding energy, when plotted as a function of the magnetic field, is given by the magnetic moment of the molecule with respect to the free atoms.
Since our Feshbach resonance is located at high magnetic fields the electronic spins of the free atoms are nearly perfectly polarized (see Appendix~\ref{ap:experimental details}).
The magnetic moment of two free atoms is thus $2\mu_B$ ($\mu_B=1.4$ MHz/G is the Bohr magneton) while the deeply bound dimer is a pure singlet with zero magnetic moment.
For the magnetic field values relevant to our experiment the dimer is relatively shallow but deep enough to show non-universality (see Appendix~\ref{ap:experimental details}).
We extract its magnetic moment $\mu_D$, as a function of $a$, by performing a derivative of its binding energy $E_D$: $\mu_D=2\mu_B-\partial E_D/\partial B$.
Adding the third atom as a free atom (moment $\mu_B$) the polarized, three particle, dimer + atom system has $\mu_{DA}=\mu_D+\mu_B$.
This is plotted as a function of $1/a$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}b as a solid (orange) line.
The magnetic moment of the trimer is $\mu_T=3\mu_B-\partial E_T/\partial B$.
Applying a discrete derivative to our measurement of $E_T$ before it vanishes below the lower detection limit results in the circles in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}b.
The almost overlap with $\mu_{DA}$ indicates that the trimer is very similar in nature to the dimer + atom system.
However, the slope after rebounding (red solid line in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}a, $171$ kHz/G) has a stronger incline (and opposite sign) leading to a distinct and sudden change in $\mu_T$ (square in Fig.~\ref{fig:ditris energy}b).
We conclude that the nature of the trimer state changes, i.e. it becomes non-Efimovian, after it reemerges from below the detection limit.
This may also be inferred from the apparent functional form of the trimer energy level after it reemerges which is essentially a straight line (although this might be a local feature).

A failure of the first excited Efimov state to merge with the atom-dimer continuum has been predicted in a recent single-channel theory, which is best-suited for open-channel dominated Feshbach resonances~\cite{Mestrom17}.
It is found that the value of $a$ at which the trimer is closest to the dimer-atom continuum is $3.33\;r_{vdW}$ which for $^7$Li is $\approx103\;a_0$, substantially smaller than our measurement.
The avoided merger is interpreted to result mainly from a {\it d}-wave two-body resonance at $a\approx r_{vdW}$, inherent to the model.
In addition, at the point of closest approach a vanishing trimer life time is predicted contrary to our detection of a long-lived bound state (with respect to the oscillation period, i.e. $\tau\gg h/|E_T-E_D|$) in its vicinity.
A similar single-channel theory was able to tune the strength of the {\it d}-wave interactions and turn them off altogether~\cite{Mestrom19}.
It was shown that {\it d}-wave interactions enhance the avoided merger but it exists also in their absence.
As the Feshbach resonance used in the experiment is of intermediate character ($s_{res}\approx 1$) the above mentioned theories cannot be directly applied to our results.
In addition, $^7$Li does not have any {\it d}-wave resonances in the range $0-1200$ G (see Appendix~\ref{ap:experimental details}).
Therefore a different finite-range effect is responsible for our observation and its identification is a challenge for a future multi-channel theory.
A recent attempt at this was successful in describing Efimov features in cesium atoms ($s_{res}\gg1$) but failed to converge with the then available $^7$Li data~\cite{Wang14}.
Moreover, an avoided merger was not predicted.

\section{Conclusions and Outlook}

In conclusion, we have shown that, by exploiting coherence -- a quantum resource -- the Efimov trimer binding energy becomes experimentally accessible in a highly non-universal regime and can be measured with great accuracy.
This method was used to detect the non-crossing of the first excited Efimov state with the atom-dimer continuum and its reemergence as a non-Efimovian bound state.
Our observation challenges current theoretical models and may serve as precise and critical guide for new models.

An extension of our work is to measure the decay of the oscillations which are most-likely affected by temperature and density in addition to the more obvious scattering length dependence.
Such measurements rely on a considerable increase of the SNR which could be achieved by a different detection scheme sensitive to small atom numbers~\cite{Serwane11,Hume13}.
This would open the gate to study elastic scattering properties between atoms, dimers and trimers -- an observable which has so-far remained undetected.
Other atomic systems might also show avoided mergers and, hence, studying them is beneficial for deepening our understanding of finite-range effects.
