Using a data sample of $1.31 \times 10^{9}$ $J/\psi$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector, the decay $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\phi$ is studied via two decay modes, $\phi\to K^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{L}$ and $\phi\to K^{+}K^{-}$. The branching fraction of $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\phi$ is measured to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to p\bar{p}\phi)=[5.23\pm0.06(\mbox{stat})\pm0.33(\mbox{syst})]\times10^{-5}$, which agrees well with a previously published measurement, but with a significantly improved precision. No evident enhancement near the $p\bar{p}$ mass threshold, denoted as $X(p\bar{p})$, is observed, and the upper limit on the branching fraction of $J/\psi\to X(p\bar{p})\phi\to p\bar{p}\phi$ is determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to X(p\bar{p})\phi\to p\bar{p}\phi)<2.1\times10^{-7}$ at the 90\% confidence level.

Based on 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ $e^+e^-$ collision data taken at center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV by the BESIII detector, we report searches for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^{+}\to\omega\pi^{+}$ and $D^{0}\to\omega\pi^{0}$. A double tag technique is used to measure the absolute branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(D^{+}\to\omega\pi^{+})=(2.79\pm0.57\pm0.16)\times 10^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}(D^{0}\to\omega\pi^{0})=(1.17\pm0.34\pm0.07)\times 10^{-4}$, with statistical significances of $5.5\sigma$ and $4.1\sigma$, respectively. We also present measurements of the absolute branching fractions for the related $\eta \pi$ decay modes. We find $\mathcal{B}(D^{+}\to\eta\pi^{+})=(3.07\pm0.22\pm0.13)\times10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}(D^{0}\to\eta\pi^{0})=(0.65\pm0.09\pm0.04)\times10^{-3}$, which are consistent with the current world averages. The first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Using a sample of $2.25\times 10^8$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for the $J/\psi$ semi-leptonic weak decay $J/\psi \to D^{-}_{s} e^{+}\nu_{e}+c.c.$ with a much higher sensitivity than previous searches. We also perform the first search for $J/\psi \to D^{*-}_{s} e^{+}\nu_{e}+c.c.$ No significant excess of a signal above background is observed in either channel. At the $90\%$ confidence level, the upper limits are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to D^{-}_{s}e^{+}\nu_{e}+c.c.)<1.3\times10^{-6}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to {D^{*}_{s}}^{-}e^{+}\nu_{e}+c.c.)<1.8\times10^{-6}$, respectively. Both are consistent with Standard Model predictions.
Jaynes-Cummings Models with trapped surface-state electrons in THz cavities (0909.4864)

An electron floating on the liquid Helium is proposed to be trapped (by a micro-electrode set below the liquid Helium) in a high finesse cavity. Two lowest levels of the vertical motion of the electron acts as a two-level "atom", which could resonantly interact with the THz cavity. In the Lamb-Dicke regime, wherein the electron's in-plane activity region is much smaller than the wavelength of the cavity mode, the famous Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM) could be realized. By applying an additional external classical laser beam to the electron, a driven JCM could also be implemented. With such a driven JCM certain quantum states, e.g., coherent states and the Schrodinger cat states, of the THz cavity field could be prepared by one-step evolution. The numerical results show that, for the typical parameters of the cavity and electron on liquid Helium, a strong coupling between the artificial atom and the THz cavity could be obtained.
Deterministic spatio-temporal control of nano-optical fields in optical antennas and nano transmission lines (0807.3676)

We show that pulse shaping techniques can be applied to tailor the ultrafast temporal response of the strongly confined and enhanced optical near fields in the feed gap of resonant optical antennas (ROAs). Using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations followed by Fourier transformation, we obtain the impulse response of a nano structure in the frequency domain, which allows obtaining its temporal response to any arbitrary pulse shape. We apply the method to achieve deterministic optimal temporal field compression in ROAs with reduced symmetry and in a two-wire transmission line connected to a symmetric dipole antenna. The method described here will be of importance for experiments involving coherent control of field propagation in nanophotonic structures and of light-induced processes in nanometer scale volumes.
Lyman Break Galaxies at z~1 and the evolution of the dust attenuation in star-forming galaxies with the redshift (0706.0810)

Ultraviolet (UV) galaxies have been selected from GALEX. The presence of a FUV-dropout in their spectral energy distributions proved to be a very complete (83.3%) but not very efficient (21.4%) tool for identifying Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z~1. We divide the LBG sample into two sub-classes: red LBGs (RLBGs) detected at 24 micron which are mainly Luminous IR Galaxies (LIRGs) and blue LBGs (BLBGs) undetected at 24 microns down to 83 microJy. Two of the RLBGs are also detected at 70 micron. The median SED of the RLBGs is similar (above lambda~1 micron) to the dusty starburst HR10. However, unlike local (U)LIRGs, RLBGs are UV bright objects. We suggest that these objects contain a large amount of dust but that some bare stellar populations are also directly visible. The median SED of the BLBGs is consistent with their containing the same stellar population as the RLBGs but with a lower dust content. The luminosity function of our LBG sample at z~1 is similar to the luminosity function of NUV-selected galaxies at the same redshift. The integrated luminosity densities of z~1 LBGs and NUV-selected galaxies are very consistent. We show that star formation rates (SFRs) estimated from UV measurements and corrected using the IRX-beta method provide average total SFR_TOT in agreement with SFR_UV + SFR_dust. However, IRX-beta-based SFR_TOT shows a large dispersion. Summing up the detected UV (1150A rest-frame) and IR-based star formation rates of the detected objects, we find that only one third of the total (i.e. UV + dust) LBG SFR resides in BLBGs and two thirds in RLBGs, even though most LBGs at z~1 are BLBGs. On the other hand, the total SFR of LBGs accounts for only 11% of the total SFR at z~1. Finally, we observe a regular decrease of L_TIR / L_FUV from z=0 to z~2 for UV-selected samples.
Global Extinction in Spiral Galaxies (astro-ph/9802247)
R. Brent Tully, M.J. Pierce, J.S. Huang, W. Saunders, M.A.W. Verheijen, P.L. Witchalls
Feb. 19, 1998 astro-ph
Magnitude-limited samples of spiral galaxies drawn from the Ursa Major and Pisces clusters are used to determine their extinction properties as a function of inclination. Imaging photometry is available for 87 spirals in B,R,I and K' bands. Extinction causes systematic scatter in color-magnitude plots. A strong luminosity dependence is found. Relative edge-on to face-on extinction of up to 1.7 mag is found at B for the most luminous galaxies but is unmeasurably small for faint galaxies. At R the differential absorption with inclination reaches 1.3 mag, at I it reaches 1.0 mag, and at K' the differential absorption can in the extreme be as great as 0.3 mag. The luminosity dependence of reddening can be translated into a dependence on rotation rate which is a distance-independent observable. Hence, corrections can be made that are useful for distance measurements. The strong dependence of the corrections on luminosity act to steepen luminosity-linewidth correlations. The effect is greatest toward the blue, with the consequence that luminosity-linewidth slope dependencies are now only weakly a function of color.

March 28, 2017 In News
The shoegaze veterans' first album in 22 years.
Slowdive have announced details of their self-titled new album, set to be released via Dead Oceans on 5th May.
The band have also shared new song 'Sugar for the Pill', which features artwork and a video inspired by Harry Smith's spiritually-minded cult 1957 animation Heaven and Earth Magic.
Speaking about the album and starting up again after such a long hiatus songwriter Neil Halstead said: "It's poppier than I thought it was going to be… When you're in a band and you do three records, there's a continuous flow and a development. For us, that flow re-started with us playing live again and that has continued into the record."
As well as the standard black vinyl and cassette editions of the release, you can also get your hands on a limited silver vinyl edition from the Dead Oceans shop. There are also a variety of t-shirt bundles to choose from.
Pre-order your copy here ahead of its release on 5th May and listen to 'Sugar for the Pill' below:

An 18-year-old plummeted 100 feet to his death in a hiking accident one day before his high school graduation.
Jeremy Tyler St. Julian was hiking with five friends at Chantry Flat in the Angeles National Forest near Arcadia, California, on Tuesday night when he fell off a cliff.
The football player was pronounced dead at the scene, and his fellow students held a moment of silence at graduation on Wednesday before cheering when his name was called.
St. Julian was hiking when he fell 100 feet down a canyon, according to Ed Winter of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.
Megan Broussard was hiking nearby when she heard a loud 'bang' followed by cries for help, CBS reported.
A rescue helicopter was called in and St. Julian was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.42pm. An autopsy is pending.
St. Julian's classmates at La Serna High School were devastated by the news of his death, which came one day before he was due to graduate.
Superintendent Martin Plourde honored St. Julian on Wednesday with a moment of silence during the commencement ceremony before his classmates released balloons in his honor.
Classmates also wore his football number on their caps and gowns, and cheered when his name was called.
Plourde, who said he would deliver St Julian's diploma to his parents, read a prepared statement on their behalf.
Friends paid tribute to the 18-year-old, describing him as funny and well loved, while Paige Tillman called him the 'life of the party' and remembered his dance moves.
'He was so excited to finish high school and graduate with everyone,' his friend Jocelyn Gutierrez told Whittier Daily News.


Grenville conducts the BATH, WELLS, DEVIZES and KEYNSHAM Good Afternoon Choir.
Grenville himself conducts the BATH, WELLS, DEVIZES and KEYNSHAM Good Afternoon Choirs.
Where to start … telling you about the man called Bath's Mr. Music by the Bath Chronicle. He has appeared on the BBC Children in Need TV programme with Gareth Malone and is one of the '100' judges on the new BBC1 ALL TOGETHER NOW popular Saturday night show. With his many choirs Grenville has raised thousands of pounds for various charities across the UK in the last 25 years.
He is founder of the Golden-Oldies Charity, in 2007 and has appeared on radio and TV across the world. 'Goldies' (not a choir!) as it has become fondly known has developed to the point where it delivers over 160 weekly fun, SING&SMILE daytime sessions across England and Wales. For many of the people attending Goldies, it is their only social time of the week. Grenville has received many accolades for his work with the charity, but is anxious to make a point that it is the fabulous team of session leaders, and (most importantly) the hundreds of people who enjoy the fun singing sessions, who are taking Goldies forward.
His other Choirs include THE Bath Chorus - a mixed voice audition Choir, The Last Choir Standing Bath Male Choir, The non-auditioned community Welcome Choir and a Choir for young people called The Bath Children's Choir.
Grenville's background includes a number of years managing newspapers as well as a period working as a freelance for the BBC in Bristol. He built up his own successful PR and Marketing company in the 80s and 90s and also a magazine company publishing golf titles - Grenville still likes to dust off his clubs and occasionally enjoy a round with his 3 sons, Dan, Kieron and Laurie.
Singing was always part of a Methodist home upbringing in Purton near Swindon. He used to have a tenor voice but G says that many years of choir conducting his voice have strained his voice now to a poor bass.
Ben England conducts our Bristol, Thornbury and North Somerset Good Afternoon Choirs and is a brilliant and talented leader. He has been performing and teaching music in Bristol since 1995. After graduation, Ben sang with groups as diverse as the New English Orchestra, the Bristol Chamber Choir, Bristol Opera, the Exultate Singers and the Choir of Clifton Cathedral. He has sung as a guest soloist at concerts across the region.
In 2002, Ben was appointed conductor of the Bristol Cabot Choir, and over the eight years he worked with them, transformed the choir into a major musical force in Bristol. The success of his work with the Cabot Choir led to his subsequent appointment as Musical Director of Bristol Opera. He has led groups as diverse as the New Harmony Ladies Choir, and the Bristol Gilbert and Sullivan Operatic Society.
Sandie Middleton is a pianist with experience in vocal, instrumental, choral accompaniment and repetiteurship. She holds an MA in Piano Accompaniment from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and a BMUS from Cardiff University, where she won the Elizabeth Griffiths Prize. She has worked with Cardiff University Symphony Chorus, Winterbourne Opera and Luigi Cherubini Conservatorio di Musica, Florence, Italy.
Sian graduated in singing, piano and percussion at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She has been teaching at Tockington Manor School as a Visiting Music Teacher in Singing and Piano since 1998. She has her own private music business called High C's Music Services which she also set up in 1998. Her successes include pupils gaining Music scholarships into private secondary schools, and the famous performing arts sixth form college Hurtwood House, also various music colleges and universities, pupils also gaining places in the prestigious National Youth Choir of Great Britain. Sian has also Musically Directed Youth Drama Groups in the locality, appeared as guest soloist with mixed and male voice choirs, adjudicated in local festivals and directed Youth and Adult Choirs which has gained her over 20 years experience.
Matt loves singing, rehearsing choirs and playing the piano. He has been Musical Director of Bath Light Operatic Group for over 20 years, so you may have seen the back of his head in the orchestra pit of the Theatre Royal Bath! Matt is looking forward to having fun, and singing some lovely music with the Frome Good Afternoon Choir.
Music has always been a passion of Sheila's from a very early age and so, after teacher training - and specialising in music, she taught for 30 years in primary and middle schools with pupils of all ages. However in all that time she always especially enjoyed the time spent encouraging others to perform in shows and concerts. As a result of this she has spent the last 10+ years solely MD-ing and teaching those involved in musical theatre and musical projects of all kinds in different venues. Most of all she really enjoys helping people to believe in themselves and their vocal abilities and to see the sheer pleasure on their faces when they achieve these goals. She also loves accompanying and looks forward to focusing mostly on this with the Wells Good Afternoon Choir members.

Rovinj (wł. Rovigno) – miasto w Chorwacji, w żupanii istryjskiej, siedziba miasta Rovinj. Leży nad Morzem Adriatyckim na półwyspie Istria. W 2011 roku liczyło 13 056 mieszkańców. Patronką miasta jest Eufemia z Chalcedonu.

Historia
Historia Rovinja sięga VII wieku p.n.e., był wówczas osadą plemienia Iliria. W 129 p.n.e. znalazł się pod panowaniem Imperium Rzymskiego. Rzymianie miasto nazywali Arupiunum albo Mons Rubineus, później Ruginium i w końcu Ruvinium. Zbudowano je na wyspie blisko wybrzeża. W 856 był atakowany przez Słowian pod wodzą księcia Domagoja. Dopiero w 1763 miasto połączono z lądem zasypując cieśninę. Po rozpadzie cesarstwa około V wieku w stał się częścią Bizancjum. Od VI do VIII wieku należał do Egzarchatu Rawenny. W 788 stał się częścią Imperium Frankońskiego, którzy ufortyfikowali miasto. Nie zabezpieczyło to jednak przed ciągłymi oblężeniami i zniszczeniami czynionymi przez Saracenów i piratów w IX i X wieku. Przez kolejne wieki miejscowość należała do władców feudalnych. Od 1209 była rządzona przez patriarchę Akwilei. W latach 1283–1797 weszła w skład Republiki Wenecji. Miasto również w tym czasie otrzymało prawa miejskie (1531). Miasto za czasów Wenecjan zostało dobrze ufortyfikowane posiadając mury miejskie z trzema bramami. Istniejące do dzisiaj mury miejskie, barokowa brama miejska zwana "Łuk Balbi" (1680) i późnorenesansowa wieża zegarowa, pochodzą właśnie z okresu panowania Wenecji.

Po upadku Wenecjan i po czasach napoleońskich, Rovinj stał się częścią Cesarstwa Austriackiego do czasu I wojny światowej. Pod panowaniem Habsburgów (1813–1920) miasto szybko się rozwijało. Stało się największym miastem na zachodnim wybrzeżu Istrii. Wówczas powstał zakład przetwórstwa rybnego, fabryka tytoniu, teatr oraz lecznica Marii Teresy. Od 1920 do 1945 należała do Włoch, by po II wojnie światowej stać się częścią Socjalistycznej Republiki Chorwacji w ramach Socjalistycznej Federacji Republik Jugosławii. Podczas tego okresu większość włoskich mieszkańców opuściło miasto. Dzisiaj leży w granicach Republiki Chorwacji (1991).

13 sierpnia 1914 r. sześć mil morskich na południowy zachód od latarni morskiej na wyspie św. Ivan na Pučini (San Giovanni in Pelago) koło Rovinja zatonął na Adriatyku statek pasażerski "Freiherr Gautsch". Spośród 529 pasażerów (żołnierze i dzieci do lat 10 nie byli rejestrowani) uratowało się zaledwie 190.

Korwin-Milewski posiadał w swojej rezydencji wspaniałą kolekcję polskiego malarstwa w tym dzieła takich malarzy jak Gierymskiego, Chełmońskiego, Pankiewicza, Wyczółkowskiego, Stanisławskiego, de Laveaux, Malczewskiego, Matejki.

Wydarzenia
 Święto Miasta przypada 16 września, w dzień św. Eufemii. Wydarzenie ma charakter religijny. Oprócz tego w jego trakcie odbywają się także zawody sportowe i koncerty.
 Noc Rovinja (Rovinjska noć) organizowana jest w sierpniu. W trakcie imprezy odbywają się liczne koncerty znanych artystów, a kulminacyjnym punktem jest 15-minutowy pokaz fajerwerków ostatniej nocy. Impreza organizowana jest od 1951 r.

This lovely compact succulent forms tight clusters of one inch wide rosettes that turn a deep blood-red in spring and hold the red coloring into early autumn. The tips of the leaves are covered with a fine white webbing that brightens this tiny succulent. It is one of the showiest and easiest to grow of the hen-and-chicks.
Hen-and-chicks grow best in full sun to light shade. Make sure that neighboring plants do not grow over this low perennial. They need a well-drained soil and grow best in sandy soil or poor rocky soils. Little fertilizing is necessary for this plant to do well. If growing in a container, make sure the soil mix is coarse and open to allow adequate drainage. It will tolerate drought, but will look better with occasional watering during prolonged dry weather.

SOFIA (Reuters) - Big-hitting Russian Daniil Medvedev brushed aside Hungary's Marton Fucsovics 6-4 6-3 on Sunday to win the Sofia Open title, gifting himself an early birthday present.
Third seed Medvedev, who turns 23 on Monday, was at his devastating best as he gave the hapless Hungarian a brutal lesson to claim his fourth career title.

"I'm happy to win the title - this is what I came here for," said Medvedev, who will fly to Rotterdam alongside Fucsovics on Monday to take part in the ATP event next week.
Medvedev, who continued his scintillating run of form after winning titles in Sydney, Winston-Salem, and Tokyo last year, has already set his sight on a spot in the world's top 10.
"I always say that my first goal is to improve and then to try to win every match," he said after his comfortable win over Frenchman Gael Monfils at the sem-finals on Saturday. "Only by doing this I can win tournaments.

Domestic Groove: STEVIE ITEM
DOMESTIC GROOVE ~ Celeb's Chosen Seven is my biweekly column in The Beat (Jakarta) mag. Basically it's an interview via e-mail which focuses on small, intimate, domestic stuff; what Indonesia's public figures are really into, musically speaking. For the 24th edition I went upclose-and-personal with Stevie Item.
DOMESTIC GROOVE ~ Celeb's Chosen Seven is my biweekly column in The Beat (Jakarta) mag. Basically it's an interview via e-mail which focuses on small, intimate, domestic stuff; what Indonesia's public figures are really into, musically speaking.
For the 24th edition I went upclose-and-personal with Stevie Item.
STEVIE ITEM
Guitarist, Music Producer
What music are you into at the moment?
"It Must Really Suck to Be Four Year Strong Right Now" by Four Year Strong.
What was the first record you bought—any interesting story behind it?
Back when I was still in 4th or 5th grade I bought the Jason Donovan & Kylie Minogue album, which contained the song "Especially For You". It was a big hit at the time, so I went to the record store and bought the album. But as soon as I got out off the store I got mugged by the local punks. They took my money and the cassette, so I walked home on foot—I didn't even have money to take a bus. So every time I listen to that song, it brings me back to that incident. I didn't buy anymore albums until 6th grade, but by then I was totally into thrash metal. My first thrash metal album was Obituary's Cause of Death, and then Sepultura's Beneath the Remains. During that era, every time I saw albums with blood, gore, and evil-impression on the cover, I just bought it instantly without thinking twice.
What is your all-time favorite album? Why?
It has to be Faith No More's Angel Dust or Megadeth's Rust In Peace because I know most of the lyrics.
What was the worst record you ever purchased?
Big Dumb Face. It's the side project band of Wes Borland—he's the guitarist of Limp Bizkit.
Who do you want to be, other than yourself, next time you reincarnate?
A better looking Rick Rubin or a healthier Tony Stark.
What song do you choose to start your weekend?
"Next Door, Dead Whore" by The Shattering.
And song you choose to end your weekend?
"Communications" by The Cardigans.
Stevie (known to his mates as"Tepi") has just completed work in the studio for Andra and the Backbone's upcoming fourth album. Meanwhile, he's busy composing new songs with his death metal side project, Deadsquad. He has just started becoming a music producer for a new band which at the moment is in the process of recording their debut album.

Located in a northwest corner of the Garden State, Smartswood State Park is an inviting retreat for hikers, bikers, boaters and swimmers. The park's central feature is Smartswood Lake, formed by ancient glaciers into an oasis that beckons boaters, fishers, swimmers and many more to its still waters.
Swartswood was established in 1915 and is considered to the New Jersey's first state park.
Swartswood Lake and Little Swartswood Lake were born from a glacial retreat that occurred some 20,000 years ago.
The park features 65 tent and trailer sites, three group campsites and six overnight shelters.
Keen's Mill, acquired by the state in 1976, was constructed around 1790.Daily sightings of the park's bald eagles are common.
The park was expanded in 1916 and again in 1941. Since 1961, the state's Green Acres Program has further expanded the park. In 1992, to "protect the water quality of Swartswood and Little Swartswood Lakes," local residents founded the Swartswood Lakes and Watershed Association.
The park features 10 different hiking trails with views of Smartwood Lake and the park's abundant wildlife. The Duck Pond Multi-Use Trail is just over a half mile, provides a level surface and is accessible for persons with disabilities.
The 2.8-mile Spring Lake Trail is a moderately difficult and features the secluded Spring Lake. Bear Claw Trail is a moderate hike on an earthen, hilly path. Grist Mill Trail—a 1.5 mile loop—is located at the southern end of Swartswood Lake. The steep rocky terrain makes this a moderate to difficult hike with rewarding views of Swartswood Lake.
Boat rentals are available on a seasonal basis. From Memorial Weekend to Labor Day, while lifeguards are on duty, visitors can swim in Swartswood Lake. Beach visitors can access facilities with changing areas, restrooms, showers, a first-aid station, and a concession building for food and beach supplies.
Freshwater anglers can access Little Swartswood and Swartswood Lakes year-round. The lakes are stocked with brown, rainbow and brook trout in the spring. Summer and fall catches include bass, sunfish, catfish, walleye, perch and pickerel. Fishing is subject to state regulations.
The park can get crowded in the summer months, but is open year-round and has abundant options for both overnight and daytime visitors. Visiting from April to May or September to October will allow you to camp overnight while avoiding both the crowds and some of the hotter summer temperatures.
