For All Ages: The Universal Appeal of Bluey
Get PDFI appreciate that balance of humor and sadness, which, to me, is what makes the best film and literature—great art manages to hold those two together in a way that feels authentic.

Making Sense of Modernity
No full textWe don’t like the ambivalence of being both grateful for what God has given us and yet sorrowful over the human sin or suffering that came along the way. We are prone to distortion and idolatry when we embrace either of these one-sided narratives.

Extending the Bridge Connecting Chiral Lagrangians and QCD Gaussian Sum Rules for Low-Energy Hadronic Physics
No full textIt has previously been demonstrated that the mesonic fields in chiral Lagrangians can be related to the quark-level operators of QCD sum-rules via energy-independent (constant) scale factor matrices constrained by chiral symmetry. This leads to universal scale factors for each type of chiral nonet related to quark-antiquark (¯) operators and four-quark (¯¯) operators. Motivated by these successful demonstrations of scale-factor universality for the *0 isodoublet and 0 isotriplet scalar mesons, a revised Gaussian QCD sum rule methodology is developed that enables the extension to higher-dimensional isospin sectors, including the possibility of mixing with glueball components. Moreover, to extract nonperturbative information about a resonance stemming from the final state interactions of its decay products, a background-resonance interference approximation is developed and shown to provide an excellent description of both scattering amplitude data and scattering calculations. This background-resonance interference approximation inspires new resonance models as ingredients in the scale-factor analysis connecting chiral Lagrangians and QCD Gaussian sum rules. Using the revised Gaussian QCD sum rule methodology, key properties of the scale factors are examined for the *0 isodoublet and 0 isotriplet scalar mesons for a sequence of increasingly sophisticated resonance models. Gaussian sum rules are demonstrated to have sufficient resolution to distinguish between different resonance models, and it is shown that the background-resonance interference approximation not only describes {,} scattering, but leads to the best universality and energy-independence properties of the scale factors
