- Abstract
A search for a heavy standard model Higgs boson decaying via H→ZZ→ℓ+ℓ-νν̅ , where ℓ=e, μ, is presented. It is based on proton-proton collision data at √s=7 TeV, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in the first half of 2011 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb−1. The data are compared to the expected standard model backgrounds. The data and the background expectations are found to be in agreement and upper limits are placed on the Higgs boson production cross section over the entire mass window considered; in particular, the production of a standard model Higgs boson is excluded in the region 340<mH<450 GeV at the 95% confidence level.

We are thrilled beyond words with all of the attention and support the Smart Parka has generated,
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) March 18, 2016
Smart Parka, the world's first complete winter coat, continues to stay extremely hot by reaching another major milestone of $2.0M (CAD) raised ($1.54M USD) and is now the most funded campaign currently live on Kickstarter.
With an original goal of $30,000 CAD, Smart Parka has re-defined the definition of greatly exceeding expectations; surpassing its goal by a whopping 6700%.
Normally at this time of year, people are thinking about putting away their winter coats, but the Smart Parka and its 5500 backers can't get enough of this coat, no matter what the season.
"We are thrilled beyond words with all of the attention and support the Smart Parka has generated," said Jamil Khan, founder of North Aware Inc. "We can't wait to see people wearing our coat from coast to coast and know this is the new standard of what a winter coat should be."
Smart Parka features built-in gloves that allow users to operate touch devices, a built-in scarf, tech pockets for smart phones and tablets, a length extension, removable lining for two-different temperature ranges, and a hat pocket, along with other features.
Smart Parka comes in four different styles for women and three different styles for men.
"We have something to fit every personality," added Khan. "Not only does it address technology needs, but it finally recognizes the need to incorporate all other winter accessories into one single integrated parka."
North Aware is now planning manufacturing, growing its line of winter wear, and expanding into new geographic markets outside Canada and the US.
The final product is slated for delivery in August 2016.

I am very excited to announce that this Saturday May 10th, I will have a booth at the Seattle Pug Rescue's annual pug event called, appropriately, 'Pugmania'.
This is an event by and for the pugs (and pugs only- no other breeds are allowed due to insurance reasons), and is positively filled with fun activities for pugs and their owners; including the Parade of Rescue Pugs, Costume Contest, Pug Kissing Contest, Puggie agility course and more! They will even have adoptable pugs on site, so for the pug-lovers this event is a must.
I'm not normally a fan of having booths at dog events for a variety of reasons, but I jumped at the chance to share a booth with CityDog Magazine, whose editor Brandie Ahlgren is all too aware of my love for pugs.
The event is this Saturday May 10th, from 12-5pm at Magnusen Park in Seattle, at hanger #27.
Hope to see some of you there! If you see a girl with a camera squealing like this "eeeeeee!" at every pug she sees- that's me! 🙂

I imagine myself standing at the edge of the Nile, attuned to its cyclical ebb and flow which occasionally causes floods and overwhelms those who have built their lives alongside it.
I live near a different river. When I say it in my native New York accent, though, it may sound like the same place.
Actually, it's not a place at all. It's a state of being.
Denial is an excellent defense against trauma. At times, living in Denial is the only way to prevent myself from being engulfed by pain.
Grateful though I am to be spared physical pain, I suffer from a spiritual pain that threatens to drown me. I grasp the branch of a tree which grows along the banks of the river. I look up at the tree's canopy. Seeing that I am sheltered by a weeping willow, I yearn for an unyielding stalk of bamboo.
I can't bring myself to write about my feelings, because writing would lead to their acknowledgment and acceptance. Denial allows me to keep anger and sorrow at bay.
Yet, I write:
"A mother who has only recently buried her son—the fruit of her womb—is forced to confront the injustice of her life. Her hope for the future was cut off, its death hastened by the son of another woman. I have heard her cry for mercy."
Beyond these few sentences, I cannot write a word. As a mother, I can too easily imagine the nightmare of burying a child. I willfully deny myself Empathy in order to cope with the enormity of her Pain. I seek comfort in reading the written words of others, but I will not commit my own words to the pages of my notebook.
Instead, for now, I wade among the bulrushes of Denial.
Perhaps I will find words of consolation there.

The possibility that Eric Frein might be lurking nearby was never far from Trooper Ryan Lawrence's mind as he took part in the manhunt for the 31-year-old survivalist charged with ambushing a Pennsylvania State Police barracks three weeks ago.
Lawrence recently spent five days in the search zone, working a 12-hour overnight shift on road and perimeter patrol.
"You definitely have to stay within a tactical mindset, just so you're not opening yourself up for a possible attack, at least limiting the possibility of making yourself a target," Lawrence said Friday.
The trooper would keep himself out of the glare cast by his car's headlights, for instance, giving him the ability to observe but not easily be observed.
Hundreds of law enforcement officials have been searching for Frein, of Canadensis, who's charged with killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and seriously wounding Trooper Alex Douglass in the late-night attack outside the Blooming Grove barracks.
The manhunt is concentrated on a heavily forested area around the northeastern Pennsylvania home where Frein lived with his parents.
State police Lt. Col. George Bivens planned to hold a news conference Friday afternoon to provide an update on the search, which has drawn law enforcement officials from New York and New Jersey state police, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and other federal agencies.
Frein has been described as an anti-law enforcement survivalist and expert marksman at home in the woods. He's considered armed and dangerous.
Even as the manhunt wrapped up its third full week, police said they remain confident Frein will be caught.
"It's just a matter of time for him," Lawrence said. "The commissioner down to every road trooper has the same resolve."
Lawrence lives in Lancaster, about 100 miles from the search area. Troopers throughout Pennsylvania are signing up to search for Frein, he said.
"The driving force is obviously for the family of Cpl. Bryon Dickson. It's a commonly spoken thing while there, you are doing it for him and his family," Lawrence said. "There's a wife and two sons who aren't able to have their state trooper come home, and that's a driving force for a lot of our guys up there."

On 2 February, I was delighted to speak about the importance of leadership at Auburn High School's award assembly and present the 2018 school leaders team with their badges.
School leadership plays a valuable role in educating young people about building relationships, decision making, negotiating, responsibility and preparing them for leadership in life.
The School Captains, Senior Leaders, Middle Leaders and House Captains were all congratulated and acknowledged for being selected as a leader for 2018 and I wish them every success in their roles.
On 26 January 2018, it was an honour to deliver the key note
address at the Boroondara Australia Day Citizenship Ceremony at the Hawthorn
Arts Centre. Over 400 community members welcomed our newest Australian citizens
to Boroondara.Australia Day is a time to reflect on our achievements and look forward to our bright, exciting future together. It was terrific to see 122 new Australians take the citizenship pledge, reminding us of the diverse backgrounds we all come from, bringing a richness to our social fabric.It was also an opportunity to acknowledge some outstanding contributors to our community who selflessly help others. We congratulated the Boroondara's Citizen of the Year, Vivienne Harkness who works with stroke survivors, their carers, families and friends to help survivors rehabilitate back into their communities after the devastating effects of stroke. Together with other members of the Boroondara Support Stroke Group, Vivienne was fundamental in creating the Boroondara Community Stroke Hub, a support model that has been picked up by the Stroke Association of Victoria and is being rolled out across the state. Volunteer of the Year, Bernie Smith, for the past seven years, has been the driving force behind the development of the recently established North Balwyn Men's Shed. Special Commendations for volunteering included Anne Brown for volunteering her professional skills supporting Guide Dogs Victoria and Walter Scharley for volunteering his time and professional skills at a number of Neighbourhood Houses in Boroondara. All of whom have generously given so much of their time and expertise to help others.I wish each of our newest citizens the best of luck for their journey ahead in this great land.

Among the many largest Airbus airline customers in the U.S. are American Airlines, US Airways, United Airways and Delta Air Traces. So, in 1974 the BOAC, the BEA and two smaller regional airlines have been merged to kind the British Airways. Named among the high 10 on Chief Executive Magazine's Greatest Corporations for Leaders 2016. This may increasingly grow to be painfully clear if you interview with a hiring manager who is untrained in interviewing expertise.
This Nitaqat law provides every firm a rating, with these firms in the red having to shed foreign labor and being unable to recruit extra. Most individuals do not expertise payment issues with giant established companies, it is usually the smaller firms and individuals that give problems to their staff. More Filipino flight attendants and stewards now are seen each in local and worldwide airways and it is so obvious why airline corporations and airline passengers love them.

Though Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said Tuesday that reforming the GSEs should not take years to accomplish, a House Financial Services Committee hearing made it clear the issue is unlikely to be addressed anytime soon.
Geithner offered no specifics on the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Instead, he broadly endorsed some kind of government role in the housing market, even while he appeared uncertain how expansive it should be.
He also rejected the past GSE model, declaring that it was a partial cause of the current crisis and saying a total revamp is necessary.
"There is a quite strong economic case, quite strong public policy case for preserving [and] designing some form of guarantee by the government to help facilitate a stable housing finance market," Geithner said. "But it can't be the one we have today. It can't be the one we lived with over the last decade. It's going to be significantly different."
Geithner's timetable for reform appeared to be a long one. He repeatedly made it clear that the administration was only starting to examine the issue, and no concrete reform plan was in the offing.
"Realistically, it's going to take several months to do a careful exploration of the problems, solutions, alternative models, and to try to shape legislation that could command consensus," Geithner said. "But I don't see why this should take years. There's a huge compelling need to make sure we can design the successor system, and it's very hard … for anybody to argue that we can live the with the system as it is now indefinitely in the future."
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank agreed that the effort had just started. "I stress this is the beginning of this process," he said.
That left many Republicans outraged. Several GOP lawmakers noted that it has been a year and a half since the government seized the GSEs — and said that to start work on a plan now was far too late. "It's unacceptable that more than 18 months after the GSEs were placed in conservatorship that the Treasury Department still does not have a plan for Fannie and Freddie," said Rep. Spencer Bachus, the panel's lead Republican. "Without reform, the bailouts will not stop, the housing market will not find its footing, and the American economy will not recover."
Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., appeared frustrated, telling Geithner, "We can't wait forever to find out" about the administration's plan.
Geithner attempted to reassure lawmakers that the administration did not intend to drag the process out. He insisted it had been busy responding to the financial crisis, and that it has to be careful that whatever plan it develops will not upset the still-fragile housing markets. The administration plans to publish a list of questions by April 15 seeking comment on the right role for the government in the housing finance system.
But Geithner also ruled out several alternatives that have been offered on the future of the GSEs. For example, he rejected both nationalizing Fannie and Freddie or splitting them into several smaller entities.
"I think the two options you laid out at the beginning — full nationalization or creating a whole new class of GSEs to compete with each other — those do not look like appealing options to me," Geithner said in response to questions from Bachus.
He also appeared to reject an idea being pushed by the Federal Home Loan banks to recreate Fannie and Freddie in the Home Loan banks' image. Unlike Fannie and Freddie, which were public companies that answered to shareholders but were chartered by the government, the 12 Home Loan banks are cooperatives owned by their member institutions.
Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., noting that the Home Loan banks have fared better than Fannie or Freddie, asked Geithner if it was worth considering using them as a guide. "Using the Federal Home Loan bank model, is that something you could actually substitute for all this in terms of what we're doing or not doing as far as the future's concerned?" Castle asked. "They don't seem to have had the problems that the other GSEs have had."
Geithner responded that the Home Loan bank system "is not without challenge today." Still, he maintained that the Home Loan banks must be included in any revamp of the housing finance system. "When you look at the housing finance markets and reform of the GSEs, you have to look at the FHLB structure as well to make sure that it can play the role it's designed to play, again, without leaving us with too much risk in the future that the government's going to have to come in, to step in, to underwrite those losses," he said.
Geithner did say he would consider a model offered by former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to regulate the GSEs like public utilities.
But Democrats rejected attempts by Republicans to unwind Fannie and Freddie before a replacement system is in place. "You can't really tear down the old jail until you've built the new one," Frank said. "We will simultaneously, I hope, be figuring out how best to wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and make sure that before that is completed, we are ready to replace the functions they are now performing in the economy without leaving this great vacancy."
In September 2008, the government seized Fannie and Freddie and kept them afloat with $127 billion in federal aid. Reversing its original plan, the Obama administration pledged late last year to cover unlimited losses through 2012 for the enterprises, removing the earlier cap of $400 billion.
Republicans accused the administration of propping up the GSEs for its own purposes, including using them to support a program designed to increase loan modifications. "It appears to many of us … that what we now have is the GSEs are essentially an instrumentality of the administration to fund taxpayer funds to a failed foreclosure mitigation plan, with nothing else in sight," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.
Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, warned that the longer a new plan for Fannie and Freddie is delayed, the more dependent the housing market will become on a nationalized Fannie and Freddie, echoing a point made by many analysts.
"It's kind of like a muscle," Neugebauer said. "The doctors tell you the longer that you don't use a muscle and you keep your arm in a sling, which is where we got the housing finance market today, … the harder it is to rehabilitate that arm once you take it out of the sling."
Geithner said the administration was conscious of the need to act but said doing so too quickly could make things worse. "We do not want these markets dependent excessively on government support in the future," he said.
But he warned that in areas like housing that have been so badly damaged, "that process of repair is going to take a long time."

Comedian Rowan Atkinson has accepted damages and an apology from Associated Newspapers over allegations he was suffering from depression and "heading for a breakdown".
Atkinson sued Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Mail on Sunday and Daily Mail, over articles in the respective papers on 28 December 2003 and 3 January this year, which claimed he was receiving treatment for depression in a US clinic.
His solicitor, Martin Cruddace, told the High Court: "Mr Atkinson is not and has never suffered from depression, severe or otherwise. The allegation that he spent five weeks at a clinic for treatment of depression is untrue."
Rebecca Jackson, solicitor for Associated, added: "The defendant is happy to accept that these allegations were untrue. The defendant offers its sincere apologies to the claimant for getting these articles wrong."
Speaking outside court, Atkinson said: "Although these allegations have been refuted, their publication was indicative of continuing stigmatising of the issue of mental health. The substantial damages we have obtained will be paid to a charitable organisation in the field of mental health."

What we're essentially doing here, is laughing at Matt Damon because he's given himself a silly hair cut and he's pulling a funny face that makes him look as if he has no eyeballs.
While showing his support for the kids at a 'Save Our Schools' rally in Washington, Matt very sensibly covered his slap head with sun screen.
Yeah… that's the end of the story really.

Impermanence I
This theme is the primary reason I wanted to start a blog. It's the idea that our ability to archive the events of our lives is undergoing a huge transformation and, indeed, the function of personal, family, cultural and human history as well. I'll have to flesh out this theme over several posts as it comes up in various contexts. The first is my feeling upon looking at the Internet Archive. It makes me dizzy. Why even try to preserve it all? Aren't we supposed to wait a while and let the historians decide what was important and the critics decide what's important now? Suddenly, because everyone CAN publish, everything is worth preserving and everyone expects an audience (even me!). I feel like the volume of the whole is diminishing the importance of the individual parts. The ability to publish so easily is a great thing, but I don't think we need to save it all. An eleven-year-old student recently asked me how she could "get on Google" because then she would be famous. I didn't know where to begin, but whatever I said didn't shake her notion that publishing guarantees fame.

Among the good smells in life are baking bread, brewing coffee, boiling cinnamon and certain parts of Montana.
Among the bad smells in life are lighted cigars, bus exhaust, high school gym lockers and certain parts of New Jersey.
Smells have power. Even power to heal. Or so says Jeanne Rose, herbalist and aromatherapist.
Ms. Rose, who was born Jeanne Colon but had the foresight for someone in her line to marry a man named Rose, is to aroma power what Norman Schwarzkopf is to military weaponry: a believer.

Greek tattoos are not considered to be the ancient Greek traditions and this type of skin decoration appeared only in the 6th century BC, with the introduction of policies. Probably, this amazing custom was taken by enterprising Greeks from the Persians. During the war between the Athenians and the Samians the tradition to "mark" the war prisoners appeared in the region. The Greeks tattoos were always applied as a punishment. It is not surprising that some doctors of that time were able to remove the derogatory characters from the skin.
Because of such a rich mythology, it is not surprising that the Greeks have long given preference to designs depicting the myths of heroes. Well, that was a fertile ground for the masters: terrible gods and beautiful goddesses, charming nymphs and cunning satyrs, attractive Serena and strong centaurs. Greek mythology tattoos are rather popular nowadays.
Sometimes on the body we can see the designs as whole composition depicting Aphrodite rising from the waves, or Zeus, that is throwing the lighting. The Greek god tattoos can be either black and white or colorful. Some people give preference to the schematic images, while the others like the detailed ones. It is said that the image gives its owner some certain features of the hero, depicted as a skin decoration.
The most popular inscriptions in Greek language are "Life, "Love", "honor" etc. If an inscription looks boring in your native dialect, the Greek translation will give them a special charm. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that most customers choose the ancient sayings of famous philosophers – Herodotus, Socrates, Plato.
By the way Cross Greek tattoo designs are considered to be rather popular, as it symbolizes the four sides of the world. It can be represented in many different ways and even embody the 12 zodiac signs. The image of traditional symbolism of the Olympic Games is appreciated nowadays.

Looks like a good time for gold now. Gold stocks should surge tomorrow after the bombing of Syria. Gold futures are ripping!
George PaigeApr 07, 2017 at 01 31 am
Peter Fous
Gold has slowly inched up after the rate hike just as long as next FOMC decision doesn't hike it again which i doubt they will Gold should move higher so a company like this with a nice technical retracement should do well on the rebound that is my 2 cents on the matter
Peter FousApr 07, 2017 at 12 41 pm
Oscar Franco
This company looks real nice but could not find it on my broker. Looks like I have to call him to see how I can pick this up. Gold with this Syria war games now look good to me. I read an article about how Gold should turn soon. thank you!
Oscar FrancoApr 08, 2017 at 12 22 pm
Terry Buron
I believe you have to call its a Canadian only company right now. Looks like its going to hit a technical bottom and agreed on the gold aspect, its been a mover. One Gold company i follow in Canada in GOLD and they have a USA listing as well hope that helps

Cameron BolvisApr 21, 2017 at 10 05 pm
Mark Gobbard
My technical read was right on point. Good volume came in on the rebound. I think if there is any kind of Trump-Nuke-NK issue or Russian gold will breakout like no other. So always to add to your question 50/50 like anything.
Mark GobbardApr 23, 2017 at 06 30 am
Karem Sheita
