\section{Introduction}
An excess above the expected number of Standard Model events, with a statistical significance of three standard deviations, has been recently measured by ATLAS
in events containing a same-flavor opposite-sign dilepton pair, jets, and large transverse missing energy \cite{Aad:2015wqa}. The excess is only found in the on-Z region, for dilepton mass near the Z peak. \footnote{A similar analysis in the same channel considered by ATLAS has been also performed by CMS \cite{Khachatryan:2015lwa}. Probably due to the different kinematic selection, as also speculated in \cite{Aad:2015wqa} (in particular CMS does not apply a cut in $H_T$), CMS does not find any excess of events above the background in the on-Z region. On the other hand CMS claims a 2.6 $\sigma$ excess in the off-Z region, where no deviation from SM expectations are observed by ATLAS. In our study we will not try to explain the CMS excess and we will not analyze the CMS results.}\\
The on-Z ATLAS search is focused on generalized gauge mediated (GGM) supersymmetry breaking models and aims at selecting a signature where pair-produced gluinos decay via neutralinos to a gravitino plus a Z boson.
Two examples of GGM models are considered by ATLAS to interpret the results.
Recent studies \cite{Barenboim:2015afa,1504.02244,1504.02752} have also analyzed the ATLAS results in the context of supersymmetry. In \cite{Barenboim:2015afa} it is found that ``only relatively light gluinos, together with a heavy neutralino decaying predominantly to Z boson plus a light gravitino could reproduce the excess", while \cite{1504.02244} shows that GGM models are unlikely to reproduce the ATLAS results and that alternative scenarios with two massive neutralinos, which can be possibly realized in NMSSM, are favored. The study in \cite{1504.02752} arrives at a similar conclusion and states that, after combining the relevant constraints from LHC searches for new Physics, GGM models cannot explain the ATLAS excess. \\
In this paper we present an interpretation of the ATLAS results in the context of composite Higgs \cite{Kaplan:1983fs}/ RS \cite{Randall:1999ee} theories.
Composite Higgs models are compelling theories to solve the hierarchy problem and to explain the electroweak symmetry breaking. In the most natural parameter region of the theory \cite{Marzocca:2012zn, Panico:2012uw}, new vector resonances are above the threshold for decays into new vector-like top partners and we will show that the ATLAS excess can indeed be produced by a heavy gluon resonance decaying to vector-like quarks. In particular, we will show that in model with a custodial symmetry protecting the $Zbb$ coupling \cite{Agashe:2006at} heavy gluon decays to bottom partners can give a large contribution to $hhbb$ or $ZZbb$ final states. In the latter case, If one of the Z decays leptonically and the other to neutrinos, thus producing large missing energy, the heavy gluon to vector-like quarks signal is largely accepted by the ATLAS selection \cite{Aad:2015wqa}.  \\
We will analyze in detail the heavy gluon to bottom partners to $ZZbb$ signature, considering as a benchmark a concrete and experimentally allowed realization of the composite higgs theory.
We will apply the ATLAS selection to Monte Carlo generated samples of the heavy gluon signal, finding the region of the model parameter space, currently not excluded by experiments, which can reproduce the ATLAS excess.\\

The paper is organized as follows: we present our benchmark model in sec. \ref{sec:model}; we discuss the experimental limits on the model in sec. \ref{sec:excl}; we apply the ATLAS selection to the composite Higgs signal in sec. \ref{sec:atlas} and present the results in sec. \ref{sec:results}. We finally draw our conclusions and discuss the implication of our findings, especially for future experimental tests, in sec. \ref{sec:discussion}.

\section{The model }\label{sec:model}

We evaluate the heavy gluon contribution to the signal examined by ATLAS in a concrete model.
We consider the effective description of heavy gluon and vector-like quarks (vlq) interactions derived in \cite{Bini:2011zb, Vignaroli:2012si}. This effective model can reproduce the low energy limit of compelling theories to solve the hierarchy problem and explain the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), such as composite Higgs \cite{Agashe:2004rs} or RS in a dual five dimensional picture \cite{Agashe:2003zs}. \\
The effective theory consists of two sectors, the elementary sector with elementary particles and (analogous to) Standard Model (SM) gauge symmetries and the composite sector, with composite particles, resulting from a new strong dynamics, which include the Higgs and new fermionic and vectorial resonances. The two sectors mix with each other. In particular, a new composite gluon associated with a $SU(3)^{comp}_c$ gauge symmetry in the strong sector mixes with the elementary gluon of $SU(3)^{ele}_c$. After diagonalizing the mixing, the physical states consist of the massless SM gluon and of a new heavy gluon $G^{*}$. The $G^{*}$ interactions with SM particles and new vlqs from the composite sector are controlled by the parameter which describes the rotation of the elementary-composite mixing to the physical basis:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:tg3}
\tan\theta_{3}=\frac{g^{ele}_{3}}{g^{comp}_{3}}<1 \qquad g_S = g^{ele}_{3} \cos\theta_{3}=g^{comp}_{3} \sin\theta_{3} \ ,
\end{equation}
  where $g_S$ is the QCD coupling and $g^{ele}_{3}$ ($g^{comp}_{3}$) is the $SU(3)^{ele}_c$ ($SU(3)^{comp}_c$) coupling. It is assumed that $g^{comp}_{3}> g^{ele}_{3}$.\\

New vlqs also emerge from the composite sector.
Based on the minimal $SO(5)/SO(4)$ coset for composite Higgs models \cite{Agashe:2004rs}, which includes a custodial symmetry protection against large correction to the $\rho$ parameter and to the $Zb_L\bar{b}_L$ coupling \cite{Agashe:2006at}, we consider composite fermions in fundamental representations of $SO(5)$. $\mathbf{ 5}_{X}$ representations decompose as $ ( \mathbf{ 2,2})_{X} \oplus (\mathbf{1,1})_X$ under $SO(4)\times U(1)_X \sim SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_X$ -- $U(1)_X$ is introduced to correctly reproduce the hypercharge, $X=Y-T_{3R}$. The composite fermion content we consider is thus
\begin{align}
\begin{split}
& \mathcal{Q}=\left( \begin{array}{cc} T & T_{5/3} \\ B & T_{2/3}\end{array} \right)=(\mathbf{3, 2,2})_{2/3} \qquad \tilde{T}=(\mathbf{3, 1,1})_{2/3} \\
& \mathcal{Q'}=\left( \begin{array}{cc} B_{-1/3} & T'  \\ B_{-4/3} & B'\end{array} \right)=(\mathbf{3, 2,2})_{-1/3} \qquad \tilde{B}=(\mathbf{3, 1,1})_{-1/3} \ ,
\end{split}
\end{align}
where we have specified the quantum numbers under $SU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_X$.
Similarly to the mixing for the vector fields, composite fermions also mix, via linear mass mixing terms \cite{Kaplan:1991dc}, with the top and bottom quarks of the elementary sector. In particular, the doublet $q^3_L=(t^{ele}_L , b^{ele}_L)$ mixes with the $(T,B)$ $SU(2)_L$ doublet in the $\mathbf{5}_{2/3}$
and has a weak mixing with the $(T',B')$ doublet in the $\mathbf{5}_{-1/3}$; $t^{ele}_R$, $b^{ele}_R$ mix respectively with the electroweak singlets $\tilde{T}$ and $\tilde{B}$. The Lagrangian of the mixing in the elementary-composite basis reads:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:mix}
\mathcal{L}^{mix} = -\Delta_{L1} \bar{q}^3_L (T, B) - \Delta_{L2} \bar{q}^3_L (T', B') -\Delta_{R1} \bar{t}_R \tilde{T} -\Delta_{R2} \bar{b}_R \tilde{B} + \text{H.c.}\ ,
\end{equation}
where $\Delta_{L2}\ll \Delta_{L1}\sim \Delta_{R1}\sim \Delta_{R2}$. The mixing leads to a scenario of partial compositeness of the top and bottom SM particles, which become superpositions of their composite and elementary modes and acquire their masses through the interactions of their composite modes with the composite Higgs:
\begin{equation}\label{eq: mass}
m_t \simeq Y_{*} s_L s_R \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \qquad m_b \simeq Y_{*} s_2 s_{bR} \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \ ,
\end{equation}
where $Y_{*}$ is the Yukawa coupling among composites, of $\mathcal{O}(1)$, and $s_L$, $s_R$, $s_{bR}$ represent respectively the $q^3_L$, the $t_R$ and the $b_{R}$ degree of compositeness
\footnote{$s_L$, $s_R$, $s_{bR}$ are related to the mixing parameters in (\ref{eq:mix}) by:
\[
s_L = \frac{\Delta_{L1}}{\sqrt{\Delta^2_{L1}+M^2_{\mathcal{Q}}}} \qquad s_R = \frac{\Delta_{R1}}{\sqrt{\Delta^2_{R1}+M^2_{\tilde{T}}}} \qquad s_{bR} = \frac{\Delta_{R2}}{\sqrt{\Delta^2_{R2}+M^2_{\tilde{B}}}} \ ,
\]
where $M_{\mathcal{Q}}$, $M_{\tilde{T}}$, $M_{\tilde{B}}$ are the $\mathcal{Q}$, $\tilde{T}$ and $\tilde{B}$ masses before the elementary-composite mixing.
}. $s_2 \ll 1$ is a parameter associated with the $q^3_L$ mixing with the $(T', B')$ $SU(2)$ doublet in the $\mathbf{5}_{-1/3}$ second tower of resonance, which permits the generation of the bottom mass. The weakness of this mixing justifies the smallness of the $m_b/m_t$ ratio and preserves the custodial symmetry protection to the $Zb_L \bar{b}_L$ coupling. We refer the reader to \cite{Bini:2011zb, Vignaroli:2012si} for more details on the model.\\

In our study, for a reason which will appear clear in the next paragraphs, we are particularly interested in the bottom partners of the $\mathbf{5}_{-1/3}$ and we will consider the following simplifying assumptions on the vlq spectrum:
\begin{itemize}
\item $M_{\tilde{B}}\gg M_{\mathcal{Q'}}$. The $\tilde{B}$ decay modes depend on the details of the electroweak mixings among bottom fermions \cite{Bini:2011zb,Chala:2013ega}. We thus decide to consider a decoupled electroweak singlet bottom-prime to reduce the model dependence of our analysis.
\item $M_{\mathcal{Q}}\gg M_{\mathcal{Q'}}$. This is a simplifying conservative choice, since some of the heavy quarks in the $\mathcal{Q}$, in particular the $T$ and the $T_{2/3}$, which decay $\simeq$50\% into $Zt$, can also contribute to the excess of events measured by ATLAS.
\end{itemize}

As an effect of the custodial symmetry, which protects the $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling and demands an $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ bidoublet representation for the $\mathcal{Q'}$ composite fermions, a degenerate doublet of bottom partners, the $B_{-1/3}$ and the $B'$, with the same mass and Yukawa coupling (before the EWSB), appears in the spectrum. We can rotate the degenerate states to the new fields \cite{Chala:2013ega}:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:Bz-BH}
B_H = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(B_{-1/3}+B') \qquad B_Z = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(B_{-1/3}-B') \ ,
\end{equation}
which will coincide with the mass eigenstates (up to a negligible correction for the $B_H$, coming from electroweak mixing effects). The $B_H$ and the $B_Z$ vlqs completely decay respectively into $bh$ and into $bZ$ (more details can be found in \cite{Chala:2013ega, Atre:2008iu} and in the appendix):

\begin{equation}\label{eq:Bz-BH-br}
BR(B_H\to hb) = BR(B_Z\to Zb)=1 .
\end{equation}
Notice that If we had a single $SU(2)_L$ doublet $(T', B')$, we would have had a single bottom-prime quark, the $B'$, decaying 50\% to $Zb$ and 50\% to $hb$, as explained in the appendix. In this case, the $G^{*}$ decays to $B'$ pairs would have produced a mixed $Zbhb$ final state 50\% of the time. The custodial symmetry, which leads to the $B_H$ ($B_Z$) mass states fully decaying into $hb$ ($Zb$) prevents the production of a $Zbhb$ final state via the $G^{*}$ decays into bottom-prime pairs\footnote{except possible contributions from the $G^{*}$ decays into $\tilde{B}$ pairs.
}. This implies that the cross sections for the $ZZbb$ and the $hhbb$ final states are enhanced by a factor of two compared to the non-custodial case\footnote{assuming the same branching ratio for the heavy gluon decays to a generic pair of bottom-primes in the custodial and non-custodial cases.}.\\
The rest of the non-decoupled vlqs have the following decay patterns:
\begin{align} \label{eq:BR}
\begin{split}
& BR(B_{-4/3} \to W^{-} b)= BR(T' \to W^{+} b) =1 \\
& BR(\tilde{T} \to Wb) =0.5 \qquad BR(\tilde{T} \to Zt) = BR(\tilde{T} \to ht) =0.25
\end{split}
\end{align}
\noindent
In addition to the elementary-composite mixing, the EWSB induces a further mixing among same charge quarks. After the electroweak mixing diagonalization (the mass matrices can be found in \cite{Vignaroli:2011um}), we finally arrive at the mass basis. We select the following set of mixing parameters, for which the bottom and top masses are correctly reproduced, and which give vlq (physical) masses that fulfill the limits from direct searches for top-partners at the LHC:
\begin{align}\label{eq:param}
\begin{split}
& Y_{*} =3 \qquad s_L =0.57 \qquad s_R = 0.6 \qquad s_{bR}=0.3
\end{split}
\end{align}
\footnote{The remaining parameters, which we do not report in eq. (\ref{eq:param}) because are less relevant for the $G^{*}$ phenomenology, are: $s_2=s_3=0.03$, $s_4=0.05$ (where $s_3$, $s_4$ are small mixing parameters proportional to $s_2$ \cite{Vignaroli:2012si}).}
The bare masses for $\tilde{T}$ and for the $\mathcal{Q'}$ bidoublet have been fixed respectively at 880 GeV and 930 GeV. The physical masses are:
\begin{center}
$M_{B_{-4/3}}$ = 930 GeV \  [912 GeV \cite{CMS:2014dka}] \hspace{0.5cm} $M_{T'}$ = 945 GeV \ [912 GeV \cite{CMS:2014dka}] \\ \vspace{0.5cm}
$M_{\tilde{T}}$ = 900 GeV \ [800 GeV \cite{CMS:2014dka, atlas-conf-2015-012}] \hspace{0.5cm}
$M_{B_{H}}$ = 955 GeV \  [846 GeV \cite{CMS:2014bfa}] \\ \vspace{0.5cm} $M_{B_Z}$ = 930 GeV \ [700 GeV \cite{CMS:2013zea}]
\end{center}
We have indicated in parenthesis, for each vectror-like quark, the strongest mass limit placed by LHC and a reference to the corresponding search.  \\

After having discussed the fermionic spectrum we now briefly examine the $G^{*}$ phenomenology. As anticipated, the heavy gluon interactions are ruled by the $\tan\theta_3$ parameter in (\ref{eq:tg3}). The heavy gluon is essentially a composite particle, which thus interacts strongly with the composite modes. In particular, the coupling of the interactions with elementary modes, thus with light quarks, is $g_S \tan\theta_{3}$, that with composite modes, as the $B_Z$ and $B_H$ bottom partners, is $g_S \cot\theta_{3}$. The $G^{*}$ branching ratios read \cite{Bini:2011zb}:
\begin{align}
\begin{split}\label{eq:BR-Gstar}
& BR(G^{*} \to jj) = \frac{2 }{3} \alpha_S \tan^2\theta_{3} M_{G^{*}} \\
& BR(G^{*} \to t_L \bar{t}_L + b_L \bar{b}_L) = \frac{\alpha_S }{6} \left( s^2_L \cot\theta_{3} - c^2_L \tan\theta_{3} \right)^2 M_{G^{*}} \\
& BR(G^{*} \to t_R \bar{t}_R) =\frac{\alpha_S}{12} \left( s^2_R \cot\theta_{3} - c^2_R \tan\theta_{3} \right)^2 M_{G^{*}} \\
& BR(G^{*} \to b_R \bar{b}_R) = \frac{\alpha_S}{12} \left( s^2_{bR} \cot\theta_{3} - c^2_{bR} \tan\theta_{3} \right)^2 M_{G^{*}} \\
& BR(G^{*} \to \tilde{T}\bar{t} +\bar{\tilde{T}}t ) =\frac{\alpha_S}{6} M_{G^{*}} \frac{s^2_R c^2_R}{\sin^2\theta_3 \cos^2\theta_3} \left(1- \frac{M^2_{\tilde{T}}}{M^2_{G^{*}}} \right)\left( 1- \frac{1}{2}\frac{M^2_{\tilde{T}}}{M^2_{G^{*}}} - \frac{1}{2}\frac{M^4_{\tilde{T}}}{M^4_{G^{*}}} \right) \\
&  BR(G^{*} \to \bar{\tilde{T}} \tilde{T})=\frac{\alpha_S}{12} M_{G^{*}} \left\{ \left[ \left( c^2_R \cot\theta_3 - s^2_R \tan\theta_3 \right)^2 +\cot^2\theta_3 \right] \left( 1- \frac{M^2_{\tilde{T}}}{M^2_{G^{*}}}\right) \right. \\
& \hspace{3cm} \left.+6 \left( c^2_R \cot^2\theta_3 - s^2_R \right)\frac{M^2_{\tilde{T}}}{M^2_{G^{*}}} \right\} \sqrt{1-4\frac{M^2_{\tilde{T}}}{M^2_{G^{*}}}}\\
& BR(G^{*} \to \bar{Q'} Q') =\frac{\alpha_S}{6} M_{G^{*}} \cot^2\theta_3 \left( 1+2 \frac{M^2_{Q'}}{M^2_{G^{*}}}\right)\sqrt{1-4\frac{M^2_{Q'}}{M^2_{G^{*}}}}
\end{split}
\end{align}
where, $c_x=\sqrt{1-s^2_x}$, $x=L,R,bR$ and $Q'$ denotes a generic resonance in the $\mathcal{Q'}$ bi-doublet: $Q'=B_{Z}, B_{H}, B_{-1/4}, T'$. \\
As an effect of the strong interaction with the heavy vlqs, $G^{*}$ decays predominantly into pairs of vlqs above the threshold 2$M_{vlq}$. In particular, in the $G^{*}$ mass region relevant to our analysis, we find
\begin{equation}
 BR(G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z) \simeq 0.18 \ .
 \end{equation}
The $G^{*}$ is produced by quark-antiquark annihilation (the gluon fusion production is suppressed by gauge invariance). The production cross section, due to the $g_S \tan\theta_3$ coupling of the $G^{*}$ interactions with light quarks, depends quadratically on $\tan\theta_3$. We show in fig. \ref{fig:Gstar-xsec} the $G^{*}$ production cross section at the $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV LHC, for a value $\tan\theta_3=0.5$.\\
\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{prod_xsec.pdf}
\caption{$G^{*}$ production cross section at the $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV LHC, for a value $\tan\theta_3=0.5$. The cross section scales with $\tan\theta_3$ as $\tan^2\theta_3$.}
\label{fig:Gstar-xsec}
\end{figure}

Summarizing the main results of this section, we have found that minimal composite Higgs theories with custodial symmetry protection to the $\rho$ parameter and to the $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling and which can generate both the top and the bottom masses, predict a significant contribution to $hhbb$ and $ZZbb$ final states (enhanced by a factor of 2 compared to the non-custodial case) coming from heavy gluon decays to bottom partners. In particular, the process $pp \to G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z \to ZZb\bar{b}$ will be the focus of our analysis. If one of the $Z$ of the final state decays to letpons and the other to neutrinos, as shown in fig. \ref{fig:signal}, we can indeed have a significant contribution to the excess of events measured by ATLAS\footnote{ The contribution from $G^{*} \to \tilde{T} \bar{\tilde{T}} \to ZZ t \bar{t}$ to the ATLAS signal is found to be small, below the 5\% of the total contribution, and will be thus neglected in our analysis. }.

\section{Current limits from direct searches for heavy gluon resonances}\label{sec:excl}

In this section we discuss the portion of the $G^{*}$ mass {\it vs} coupling parameter space which has been excluded by current searches at the LHC. There have been no dedicated searches so far for heavy gluon decays to vector-like quarks and the only test at colliders for $G^{*}$ theories
can be obtained from the searches for dijet and $t\bar{t}$ resonances. We will see that, since the $G^{*}$ branching fraction for decays to dijet or $t\bar{t}$ are small when the heavy gluon is above the threshold for decaying into pairs of vector-like quarks, the searches in the dijet and $t\bar{t}$ channels leave a large part of the model parameter space untested. \\
The strongest constraints on $t\bar{t}$ resonances come from a recent CMS combined analysis of the searches in different final states \cite{CMS:2015nza}. We use the upper limits in \cite{CMS:2015nza} on the production cross section times $t \bar{t}$ branching ratio of a Kaluza-Klein gluon to extract the exclusion region for the $G^{*}$ in the $(M_{G^{*}}, \tan\theta_{3})$ plane. We find that searches in the $t\bar{t}$ channel can only exclude a portion of the parameter space at lower $G^{*}$ masses, below $\sim$1.87 TeV. The small region of the parameter space excluded by $t \bar{t}$ searches which is of interest to our study is colored brown in our final plot of fig. \ref{fig:results}.  \\
Searches for new particles in the dijet mass spectrum generally apply to narrow resonances with an intrinsic width much smaller than the experimental dijet mass resolution and cannot place limits on wide resonances like a heavy gluon decaying to top partners.
CMS has however recently extended his search in the dijet channel to include an analysis for wide dijet resonances \cite{Khachatryan:2015sja}. We use the results of this study to extract the limits on the $G^{*}$ parameter space. In particular we use the upper limit, quoted in \cite{Khachatryan:2015sja}, on the production cross section times dijet branching ratio times acceptance ($\sigma \times BR \times A$) of a generic $q\bar{q}$ resonance with a width over mass ratio of 0.10. This is a conservative choice since, as we also show in fig. \ref{fig:results}, the $G^{*}$ width over mass ratio is above 0.15 in most of the $G^{*}$ parameter space relevant for our study. \footnote{
More in details, we calculate the $G^{*}$ excluded regions by rescaling the $\sigma \times BR \times A$ values for Colorons/Axigluons ($C$) \cite{Simmons:1996fz} shown in \cite{Khachatryan:2015sja} according to
\[
0.86 \times\frac{\sigma(G^{*})}{\sigma(C)}\frac{BR(G^{*} \to q\bar{q})}{(C\to q\bar{q})}= 0.86 \times\tan^2\theta_{3}\times \frac{BR(G^{*} \to q\bar{q})}{2/3}
\]
the universal Coloron model considered by CMS \cite{Simmons:1996fz} is indeed reproduced by the $G^{*}$ model in the limit: $\tan\theta_{3}=1$, $s_L=s_R=s_{bR}=0$ and decoupled top partners. The factor 0.86 is included to take into account the limitations of the narrow width approximation, as suggested in \cite{Khachatryan:2015sja}, and is taken from table 7 in \cite{Khachatryan:2015sja}. The resulting values are then compared to the upper limits for $q\bar{q}$ resonances with $\Gamma/M =0.1$.}
As expected from the $\tan^2\theta_{3}$ scaling behavior of the
$G^{*}$ production cross section, we find that the searches for dijet resonances exclude only a part of the $G^{*}$ parameter space at large ($\gtrsim 0.5$) $\tan\theta_{3}$ values.
The region of the $G^{*}$ parameter space excluded by dijet searches is colored grey in our final plot of fig. \ref{fig:results}.

\section{Applying the ATLAS selection}\label{sec:atlas}

In this section we apply the main requirements of the ATLAS selection in \cite{Aad:2015wqa} to Monte Carlo generated samples of the process $pp\to G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z \to ZZ b\bar{b}$ in fig. \ref{fig:signal}. We generate the events for the heavy gluon signal at leading order with MADGRAPH 5 \cite{Alwall:2011uj}, after having implemented the model in sec. \ref{sec:model} by using feynrules \cite{Christensen:2008py}. We use the cetq6l1 PDF set \cite{Nadolsky:2008zw} with renormalization and factorization scales fixed at the heavy gluon mass. The events are then passed to PYTHIA 6.4 \cite{Sjostrand:2006za} (with the default tune) for showering and hadronization. Jets are reconstructed with FASTJET \cite{Cacciari:2011ma} by an anti-kt algorithm with cone size $R=$0.4. In order to mimic detector effects we also apply a Gaussian smearing to the jet energy with:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\sigma(E)}{E} = C + \frac{N}{E} + \frac{S}{\sqrt{E}}
\end{equation}
where $E$ is in GeV and $C=0.025$, $N=1.7$, $S=0.58$ \cite{Kulchitsky:2000gg}. The jet momentum is then rescaled by a factor $E^{smeared}/E$.\\

Retracing the ATLAS analysis, we consider the following final state: two same flavor (electrons or muons) leptons with opposite charge plus at least two jets and missing energy:

\begin{equation}
e^{+}e^{-}/ \mu^{+}\mu^{-} + n_{jet}\ \text{jets} + E^{miss}_T \qquad , \  n_{jet} \geq 2 \ .
\label{eq:final-state}
\end{equation}
\noindent
As a first step of the selection we apply the following isolation criteria and $p_T$ requirements on the two final leading leptons (we apply the same cuts for electrons and muons):

 \begin{align}
 \begin{split}
& |\eta (l_{1,2}) |<2.4 \qquad \Delta R (l_{1,2}, \text{jet})>0.3 \qquad \Delta R (l_1 ,l_2) > 0.3 \\
&\qquad p_T\ l_1 > 25 \ \text{GeV} \qquad p_T \ l_2 > 14 \ \text{GeV} \ .
\end{split}
\label{eq:acc-lep}
\end{align}
The jet separation requirement is applied to any ``baseline" jet with $p_T>$ 20 GeV and $|\eta|<5$. $l_1$ ($l_2$) denotes the leading (sub-leading) lepton.  \\
Signal jets must fulfill the conditions:
\begin{align}
 \begin{split}
& |\eta (\text{jet}) |<2.5 \qquad  p_T \ \text{jet} > 35 \ \text{GeV} \ .
\end{split}
\label{eq:acc-jet}
\end{align}

After these ``acceptance" cuts, we get, at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV LHC with 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, the number of $G^{*}$ signal events shown on the second column of table \ref{tab:cut-flow}. The expected number of events is shown for several heavy gluon masses and for a fixed coupling $\tan\theta_{3}=0.5$.\\
The on-Z ATLAS search is focused on generalized gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking signatures, where pair-produced gluinos decay via neutralinos to a gravitino, which is the lightest supersymmetry particle, plus a Z boson. These GGM topologies are characterized by energetic final states with large missing energy associated with the gravitino.
The ATLAS analysis thus applies the following set of cuts, aiming at selecting events with Z-peaked dilepton mass, large missing energy and energetic final states:

\begin{align}
 \begin{split}
& 81 \ \text{GeV} < m_{ll} < 101 \ \text{GeV} \qquad E^{miss}_T  > 225\ \text{GeV} \\
&  \qquad H_T  > 600 \ \text{GeV} \qquad \Delta\phi(\text{jet}_{1,2}, E^{miss}_T) > 0.4 \ ,
\end{split}
\label{eq:cuts}
\end{align}
where $H_T$ is defined as: $H_T = p_T (l_1 ) + p_T (l_2 ) + \sum^{n_{jet}}_{i} p_T (\text{jet}^{i}) $

We find that the ATLAS search strategy, with the main set of cuts in (\ref{eq:cuts}), does not only apply to GGM topologies but also selects heavy gluon $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z \to ZZ b\bar{b}$ signals (fig. \ref{fig:signal}), which are also characterized by a leptonically decaying $Z$, an energetic final state and large missing energy, produced by the decay to neutrinos of one of the two $Z$ bosons in the final state. The $H_T$ and $E^{miss}_T$ distributions for the $G^{*} \to B_Z\bar{B}_Z$ events in the channel (\ref{eq:final-state}) after the acceptance cuts in (\ref{eq:acc-lep}), (\ref{eq:acc-jet}) are shown in fig. \ref{fig:HT-ETmiss-norm} for several $G^{*}$ masses \footnote{We calculate $E^{miss}_T$ by Monte Carlo truth: we sum vectorially the transverse momentum of the neutrinos and those of soft ($p_T<$ 20 GeV) or lost ($|\eta|>$5) jets.}. \\
Applying the ATLAS selection (\ref{eq:cuts}) to the $G^{*}$ signal, we find the expected number of events, at the 8 TeV LHC with 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, indicated in tab. \ref{tab:cut-flow}. Columns 3-6 show the number of events passing the different steps of the ATLAS selection for several $G^{*}$ masses at a fixed coupling $\tan\theta_{3}=0.5$.\\

\section{Results}\label{sec:results}

After the complete selection in (\ref{eq:cuts}) with 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of collected integrated luminosity,
ATLAS observes an excess of events above the expected Standard Model background with a statistical significance of 3 standard deviations. The statistical significance is of 3 sigma in the electron channel and of 1.7 sigma in the muon channel. The excess of events above background in the $ee+\mu\mu$ channel, which can be read from tab. 7 in \cite{Aad:2015wqa}, is:
\begin{equation}
n^{exc}= 18.4 \pm 3.2 \ .
\label{eq:exc}
\end{equation}

By applying the analysis explained in the previous section to $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ events for different heavy gluon masses and couplings we can derive the $(M_{G^{*}}, \tan\theta_{3})$ values which are able to reproduce the ATLAS results. The last column in tab. \ref{tab:cut-flow} indicates, for the different $G^{*}$ mass points, the $\tan\theta_{3}$ values which give the excess of events in (\ref{eq:exc}) measured by ATLAS. \\
Our results are finally shown in fig. \ref{fig:results}. The green band shows the $(M_{G^{*}}, \tan\theta_3)$ values giving the excess of events in (\ref{eq:exc}) within $\pm 1 \sigma$ from the central value, indicated by the black dashed curve. The grey upper region is excluded by searches for dijet resonances, calculated, as explained in sec. \ref{sec:excl}, from the CMS search \cite{Khachatryan:2015sja}. The lower brown region is excluded by searches for $t\bar{t}$ resonances and is derived (sec. \ref{sec:excl}) from the CMS analysis in\cite{CMS:2015nza}. We see that heavy gluon decays to vector-like bottom quarks can explain the ATLAS finding in a parameter space region so far untested and thus not-excluded by LHC searches. We find that the ATLAS excess of events can be produced by $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ events for $G^{*}$ masses roughly in a range 1.87 - 2.15 TeV and for $g_S \tan\theta_3$ couplings within $\sim(0.3-0.65) g_S$. \\

Finally, we show in fig.s \ref{fig:dist1},\ref{fig:dist2},\ref{fig:dist3} the kinematic distributions of $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ events, to be compared with the distributions of the observed events shown by ATLAS in \cite{Aad:2015wqa} -- which we report for the reader convenience on the right side of fig.s \ref{fig:dist1},\ref{fig:dist2},\ref{fig:dist3}. Since  the highest statistical significance is found in the electron channel, we just show the distribution in the $e^{+}e^{-}$ channel.
We find that $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ event distributions are compatible with
the jet multiplicity, the $H_T$, the $E^{miss}_T$, the $m_{ll}$ and the $\Delta\phi(\text{jet}_{1,2}, E^{miss}_T)$ distributions of the ATLAS observed events \footnote{Obviously, $G^{*}$ signal events have to be summed to the expected background events in order to be compared with data.} with few exceptions: the number of observed events on the first bin in the $H_T$ distribution and on the first bin in the $E^{miss}_T$ distribution are slightly above the expected number of $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ plus background events \footnote{Here we just comment qualitatively on our findings for the event distributions. A detailed analysis of the statistical compatibility between the $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ and the observed distribution of events is beyond the scope of this paper and we leave it to future studies.}. In general, we find that the $H_T$, the $E^{miss}_T$ and the $m_{ll}$ distributions for $G^{*}$ events are similar to those for the GGM model with $\tan\beta=1.5$, gluino mass of 900 GeV and $\mu=$ 600 GeV, shown by ATLAS \cite{Aad:2015wqa}. Most notably, the jet multiplicity distribution of $G^{*} \to B_Z \bar{B}_Z$ events looks closer to that of the observed events compared to the jet multiplicity distributions for the two examples of GGM models considered by ATLAS, which tend to predict a number of signal jets larger than the one observed.

In this study we have found that the 3 sigma excess recently measured by ATLAS in events with same flavor opposite sign lepton pairs, peaked on the Z mass, plus jets and large missing energy can be interpreted in composite Higgs models as a result of heavy gluon decays to vector-like quarks. We have analyzed a concrete model where, as an effect of a custodial symmetry protection to the $Zbb$ coupling, bottom partner vector-like quarks, produced in pairs from the heavy gluon decays, contribute significantly to $hhbb$ and $ZZbb$ final states. This latter $ZZbb$ signature, in particular, if one of the $Z$ decays leptonically and the other to neutrinos, can explain the ATLAS excess. Our results are summarized by fig. \ref{fig:results} where we show that the ATLAS excess can be reproduced by the composite Higgs model, in an experimentally allowed region of the parameter space, for heavy gluon masses roughly in a range 1.87 - 2.15 TeV and for heavy gluon couplings to light quarks within $\sim(0.3-0.65) g_S$.\\
An immediate reaction
to this finding is looking for confirmations of the composite Higgs interpretation of the ATLAS results, especially to distinguish the composite Higgs hypothesis from alternative supersymmetrical explanations. The s-channel exchange of the heavy gluon and
the two vector-like quark resonances, one of which can be fully reconstructed, are the distinctive features of the composite Higgs signal. Indeed, a simple test of the composite Higgs interpretation could be easily realized by analyzing, for example, the event distributions of the following observables: the invariant mass of the two leptons
plus the leading jet, which shows a peak around the vector-like quark mass, as shown on the left plot of fig. \ref{fig:MBz-Mkkg}, or the invariant mass of all of the observed objects, leptons and signal jets, of the final state, which presents a kinematic edge\footnote{because of the missing energy, it is not possible to fully reconstruct the heavy gluon resonance.} at high mass, as a result of the heavy gluon exchange; the corresponding plot is shown in fig. \ref{fig:MBz-Mkkg}.   \\
If the ATLAS excess is really due to a composite Higgs/RS theory, further evidences should manifest soon at the upcoming LHC run. The bottom and top partners of the model should be indeed observed in searches for pair production of vector-like quarks. An evidence for the electroweak singlet $\tilde{T}$ could also appear in searches for top-partner electroweak single production; dedicated analyses have been performed in \cite{Vignaroli:2012nf, Andeen:2013zca, Agashe:2013hma}\footnote{with the choice of parameters in eq. (\ref{eq:param}), the electroweak coupling of the $\tilde{T}$ is $\lambda_{\tilde{T}}\simeq 1.4$. For such a coupling the $\tilde{T}$ should be discovered with 100 fb$^{-1}$ at the 14 TeV LHC for masses up to $\sim 1$ TeV \cite{Vignaroli:2012nf}.}.
In general, the results of this study reinforce the importance of focusing on searches for vector resonances which include the decays to vector-like quarks \cite{Bini:2011zb, Vignaroli:2014bpa, Chala:2014mma, Greco:2014aza}. A large portion of the parameter space for composite Higgs models is indeed not accessible to standard search channels, as those in the dijet or $t\bar{t}$ final state.

Jehovah's Witnesses are a religious group with more than eight million members around the world. They believe God, who's name is Jehovah (Ps. 83:18), will end crime, violence, sickness and death by destroying all wickedness in the world. They say that God's Kingdom (mentioned (thy Kingdom come) in the Lord's prayer) will restore God's original purpose for the Earth: bringing about peace for all humans who live by Bible standards.

Meeting in Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Netherlands.
Their beliefs are based solely upon the Bible. These beliefs were taught by Charles Taze Russell, a preacher who started a Bible study group in Pennsylvania in 1876. The goal of Russell and other Bible Students, as the group was then known, was to promote the teachings of Jesus Christ and to follow the practices of the first-century Christian congregation. Since Jesus is the Founder of Christianity, they view him as the founder of their organization.—Colossians 1:18-20. They later started publishing a religious magazine called The Watchtower.
Some of their beliefs, especially about who God is and what his plans are for humans and the earth, are different from what is taught in most Christian churches. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 people will go to heavenRev 7:1-17,Rev 14:1 and that all the other people who obey God will live forever on a paradise Earth. They do not believe that God is a Trinity. They believe Jesus died on a pole (also called '[torture] stake') rather than a cross. God rejects worship that uses images or symbols, including the cross "Idolatry" Ex 20:4-6. They teach that when people die, they remain in the grave until God resurrects them after God's Kingdom, or government, is ruling over earth.
Jehovah's Witnesses are best known for preaching their beliefs from door-to-door and in other public places, and offering their magazines, The Watchtower and Awake! They are also well known for refusing to join armies and refusing blood transfusions.

In 1870 a young clothing shop owner named Charles Taze Russell heard an Adventist preacher speak. The preacher said the Bible contained clues that showed God was about to set up a kingdom, or government, over earth. He said the kingdom, which is mentioned many times in the New Testament of the Bible, would be based in heaven, and it would completely change the way of life for everyone in the world. Russell studied that preacher's teachings and looked through the Bible, and ended up with some new beliefs.
BeginningsEdit
Using various Bible verses and events from history, Russell decided that God would soon call a group of "saints" to heaven to be kings there. Other faithful Christians who had since died would also make up a total of 144,000 kings in heaven. Churches at the time taught that humans were still waiting for Jesus to return to earth in his Second Coming, but Russell believed that clues in the Bible showed Jesus returned in 1874.[1] Russell believed part of God's plan was to start Armageddon, which he thought would be a complete breakdown of law and order on earth, when governments and people would fight among themselves. He believed that God would then end sickness and death and allow obedient Christians to live forever in perfect health.[2]
Russell believed it was very important that all Christians, including those who were attending churches, should learn those "truths". He believed these "truths" had been carefully hidden in the Bible for thousands of years. He started a publishing group called the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.[3][4] He wrote several books, set up some Bible study classes for people to study his teachings, and started a magazine, Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence, which taught that Christ was already present. He wrote that God would bring about all those events by 1914.
A new presidentEdit
By the time Russell died in 1916, he had written 50,000 pages, with almost 20 million copies of his books printed and distributed around the world.[5] Joseph Franklin Rutherford, one of his followers, took Russell's position as president of the Watch Tower Society.
Rutherford wrote many books as well. He made some changes to Russell's teachings and required all the study groups, or congregations, around the world to agree to the teachings and rules set by the Watch Tower Society in New York. He told all members to no longer celebrate all holidays, singing at religious meetings was strictly prohibited and preaching from door to door about God's Kingdom and to distribute Watch Tower Society publications so more people would hear the message was mandatory.[6] Many members did not agree with Rutherford's harsh changes, and some started their own groups. In 1931 Rutherford called his group "Jehovah's Witnesses" to tell it apart from the other groups. By the time Rutherford died in 1942, the religion had a worldwide membership of 115,000.
Punishment and discriminationEdit
Some of the new teachings resulted in suffering for many Jehovah's Witnesses. Thousands were sent to prison, beaten or killed in several countries during World War II because they refused to fight.[7][8] In Germany, many were sent to concentration camps because they would not support the Nazi Party.[9] Later, in the United States, many of their children were expelled from schools because they refused to salute the flag, because they thought that God would not approve. Some countries still have laws against members practicing the religion.[10][11] By 1977 they had more than two million members around the world.
Armageddon expected in 1975Edit
From 1966, the religion suggested that God could bring Armageddon in 1975, and that the Kingdom would be set up very soon after.[12] Some Witnesses sold businesses and homes, gave up jobs, delayed medical operations and decided against starting a family because they expected Armageddon to arrive.[13][14] Many members that assumed Armageddon would come in 1975 left at the time, but many other people joined and the group kept growing.
BeliefsEdit
Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall in New Zealand.
One GodEdit
Like many Christian religions, Jehovah's Witnesses believe there is an all-powerful, all-knowing God who created everything. They also have some beliefs that are different from most Christians. They believe God calls himself Jehovah (a translation of the Hebrew letters "YHWH") and they believe it is important to use that name. In which, 'God' is a title, as to, daughter, mother, father, son and etc. This is why it is important to address our father by his name. They believe Jesus is God's son, the first angel, and that he is also called Michael the Archangel. They say the holy spirit is God's power rather than a person. They do not believe in the Trinity.[15] They believe the Bible is a book that God used humans to write and that it is completely true and the best guide for how people should live.[16]
Adam and EveEdit
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that God made Adam and Eve, the first humans, and put them in a garden called Eden. They believe that when Adam and Eve sinned, they no longer had God's approval so they began to get sick and die. They were not perfect any more and could not have perfect children. Because of this, humans could not remain sinless. They believe that Jehovah later sent Jesus to die (on a pole (stake), not a cross, as most Christians believe, which is known as 'Christendom') to forgive mankind's sins.
HeavenEdit
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 people, a number found in Revelation chapters 7 and 14, will go to heaven to be kings and priests with Jesus Christ. They say that God will start a worldwide war called Armageddon, and the people who do not obey God or worship him the way he expects will be killed. The people who he approves will survive and be given the opportunity to live forever. Then God will begin to turn Earth into a paradise without crime, sickness, pain, aging, wars or death. They say God will also resurrect (bring back to life) billions of people who died in the past so they can learn about God and have a chance to live in paradise as well.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe only their religion really obeys God's instructions and that God does not approve of any other religions (including Catholics, Protestants, Buddhists and Muslims) because they do not follow the Bible the right way. They believe that Satan the Devil is the real leader of all other religions and makes them think they worship God the right way. (AKA: Satan the Devil is the ruler of this wicked world, but only for a short time).(1 John 5:19)[17][better source needed] So they believe that only Jehovah's Witnesses will be saved at Armageddon, but they say God will make the final choice.[18][19][20]
What they doEdit
Jehovah's Witnesses offering their literature free of charge outside the British Museum in London, United Kingdom.
Door-to-door workEdit
Jehovah's Witnesses preaching house to house in Lisbon, Portugal.
Jehovah's Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door preaching. They believe Jesus ordered them at Matthew 28:19 to "go make disciples of all the nations", warning people that the day of God's judgement, or Armageddon, will happen soon. Jehovah's Witnesses believe their preaching is a fulfillment of a prophecy at Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." All Witnesses are told to spend as much time as they can in public preaching work, usually offering The Watchtower and other Watch Tower Society publications. Since the Internet, Jehovah's Witnesses also preach online. They teach people their beliefs about Jehovah and his plans for the earth. Members are asked to give a monthly written report on how much time they have spent publicly preaching.
MeetingsEdit
The buildings where Jehovah's Witnesses meet to worship are called Kingdom Halls. Unlike many other churches, these halls do not have altars, statues, or symbols such as the Cross. Each congregation has three meetings each week:
The "Christian Life and Ministry" meeting midweek
A "Public Talk" and the "Watchtower study" (both on the same weekend day)
Members unable to attend in person can also listen to the meeting over the phone or by video streaming where available. They also attend one large regional convention and two circuit assemblies a year (some of them at hired sports arenas), where hundreds or thousands of members gather depending on the location.
Jehovah's Witnesses hold meetings for worship twice each week. (Hebrews 10:24, 25) At these meetings, which are open to the public, they examine what the Bible says and how to apply its teachings in life. At some meetings, people in the audience, including children, are invited to answer questions and make comments. The religion has elders and ministerial servants who take the spiritual lead in their congregations, but they do not dress differently to other members and they are not paid. Most elders support themselves with jobs outside the religion.
RulesEdit
Members of the religion are expected to live up to high moral standards. They are told they should always be honest.
Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to:
Have sex with people they are not married to (which they call fornication)
Have homosexual relationships
Smoke tobacco or take illegal drugs (they are allowed to drink alcohol if they do not get drunk)
Vote in elections or take any side in politics
Salute flags or sing national anthems
Join the military or fight in wars
Celebrate birthdays, Christmas, Easter, or other common religious holidays
Jehovah's Witnesses are told to marry only other baptized Jehovah's Witnesses.[21] They believe God does not like married couples to divorce unless the husband or wife cheated. They can separate from a partner who hurt their family or refused to support them, but they would not be allowed to marry someone else.[22]
They also refuse blood transfusions because the Bible says not to eat blood or consume it in any other way, and they believe that putting blood in their veins is equivalent to consuming it .[23]
They are told not to make close friends with non-Witnesses because they could make their faith in God weaker, or possible sever their relationship with Him completely.[24][25]
MembershipEdit
Jehovah's Witnesses are quite strict about who can be a member.[26] Jehovah's Witnesses are only counted as members if they are baptized. Like other Christian groups, they believe baptism represents devotion to God and their promise to live by his teachings. Unlike some Christian groups, Witnesses are not baptized as babies. They believe baptism should be a choice made by someone who understands what it means.[27]
If the elders think a baptized Witness has willingly disobeyed direction set forth in the Bible, they will investigate. That investigation is called a "judicial committee". If the elders decide the person is 'guilty' and does not regret what they did, he or she might be "disfellowshipped". This means the person is no longer a member of the group. When that happens, no other Jehovah's Witnesses are allowed to talk to or interact with that person (except in some situations such as living or working together) unless the disfellowshipped person repents and is allowed back in. When such a person is allowed back in, they have been 'reinstated'.
Some people, including former Witnesses, have criticized this punishment as harsh and unfair.[28][29] The style of leadership of the group has also been described by some authors as autocratic and totalitarian, because members have to be completely submissive to the direction of Jehovah as found in the Bible to the greatest extent they possibly can.[30]

As excited as I am about the strength and depth of the DL this year, I'm a little cautious about extrapolating 20 TFL's to the 12 (now 11) game season. vs Tenn and YSU is much different than the conference schedule coming up.
The solid play of the line will free up Long and probably Avery for some free shots in the backfield. With those two being obvious keys for the opposing offense to focus on inlook for Dravon and Tonk to make some huge plays in critical situations as Gibby mixes up the pressure.
Bigelow seems an obvious candidate to get in and wreak havoc but surprisingly Robinson seems more adept at run defense which is fine by me, just expected something a bit different. Donahue is a very underrated cog at the moment and of attention switches to others Rose may get his mojo back as a rush end… which is intriguing.
Definitely not trying to say that the results of two games predict what will happen the rest of the year. But if it does, that's one way to slow Big 12 offenses, which are going to gain yards and score points. IF you can disrupt a couple of drives with some negative plays, that can make the difference, in, say, a 38-34 contest.
Mex makes the good point that needs to be highlighted — if WVU is to continue the TFL trend, it's a group effort. Long will get his, but it's the spread across the entire defense that is important. Blitzers from the second level getting home, DLs getting 3-4 per game as a group.

I want parents to know that they are GOOD parents, and it's just a neurological issue that makes the child unable to do things that people expect."

Toddlers are known for their robust attitude. If there is something which your toddler can't do is to sit still, they love to run and play around. So how do you encourage reading habits in a toddler? Well don't worry, instilling reading habits in a child doesn't need to be too difficult. Reading books in a certain way can help keep things lively and also help you catch the interest of your child.
The following tips from the experts at child care centre Townsville would help ensure that you child develops the right reading habits.
The first thing which deters most parents from reading to their child is the fact that their child is not sitting still. They have a habit of moving around. Don't be too bothered if your child is moving or jumping about as you read. It is something which is perfectly normal. They are moving continuously but their ears are open and they are listening.
Make sure you keep repeating a nursery rhyme which your child seems to enjoy. Each child has a few favourite ones. In order to peak your child's interest make sure you speak out a wrong word or pause before saying a certain word. They are bound to catch the mistake and would love to say the word on their own.
Book which features animal tend to be more interesting for children. Also books which feature machines are just as popular. Also there are book which are designed specifically for toddlers. For examples book with flaps or different textures help keep a child engaged. They want to engage in an interactive reading sessions make sure you read the book aloud in a variety of tones, even if it is just picture reading. The child would respond to the different tone of voice that you use.
Children that age have a short attention span. Do not expect them to sit through a reading sessions lasting more than ten minutes. There shouldn't be a great deal of text in the book. Choose one which has a few words but more pictures the bright and colourful pictures would help a child concentrate and do a bit of picture reading on their own as well. It's always better to keep the sessions short.
Children love role play. You could encourage your child by setting up a zoo compromising of different stuffed animals. You can put your toddler in charge, also make sure you ask them a lot of questions. Make sure you listen to their answers carefully. Toddlers tend to be pretty opinionated. Let them speak out and share their ideas. Make this habit on a daily basis.
When buying a silk scarf keep in mind that it should be designed from a high quality silk fabric only and not some imitation. For that you need to buy from a website which deals exclusively in silk scarves. While you may not be sure about what kind of product you would be getting, but you can surely check out the testimonials left by people who purchased things from the website. Good reviews mean that the seller is genuine and ensure that they deliver quality products.
As in buying from any store you just can't see the fabric or feel it. You have to rely on what the manufacturer has mentioned on the website.
The major reason why people choose to shop online is simple. You can choose stuff right from the comfort of your home. You can look at a product all you want and then think and decide at your leisure whenever you want to make a purchase. There is no sales person standing behind you waiting for you to make a purchase. There is no rush and no hurry. So when buying a product online, make sure you take a look at the silk scarf all that you want.
Also keep in mind that every online store has a return policy. In case you don't like the product you have to make sure they have a return policy. Make sure you read the fine print on the website when it comes to the return policy. Also you may not be returned the cash that you spent but you would be allowed to change the purchase by choosing another product from the catalogue.
Keep in mind that silk scarves come in a variety of sizes. Choose a scarf which complements your body shape. What may look good on the model online wouldn't necessarily bring out the best in you. It all depends upon how a scarf is styled and how it looks.
You can also make sure that you avail any discounts which come with shopping online. Often the best part of shopping online is the amazing number of discounts you can get on different products.
Last but not the least before you buy a scarf online make sure you choose something which can fit your style and would look great in your wardrobe. While bright colours can definitely look good you can never actually go wrong with black, brown, white and grey. These are solid colours and can be worn whenever and wherever styled in different ways.
No matter how much we love our children, there is still the possibility of us not giving them sufficient time as they require. Despite our best efforts, we are unable to ensure we give them the time they deserve for fun, studies and even for food. Most of us have jobs, hundreds of household chores to complete and eventually need our peace of mind too.
In a childcare center, your child gets undivided attention from his teacher or guide in his class. He will be able to get attention, gain skill based learning and interact with the teacher. Childcare Perth city will ensure your child is able to grow in a comfortable environment and stay active throughout the day without feeling ignored.
Our children feel more comfortable to experiment with new things and interact with kids their age. In order to provide them the environment they're looking for, offering them a childcare center is the best option. A childcare center has multiple children belonging to the same age group, same classes and going through the same skill development.
Children are able to learn new things, make new friends and discover their skills without feeling shy in front of grown ups. Furthermore, they get more room to enjoy with their parents or guardians not hindering their growth.
A childcare center becomes like a second home to your children. Instead of getting a nanny or babysitter who comes to your house, you're giving your child the opportunity to play, learn and develop new skills based on his personal development. Not only that, you're able to enjoy a relatively cost-effective solution to hiring a nanny.
Your child will be able to play, learn and enjoy being with more children his age. Childcare centers have children from the age of six months to five years. He will have a compatible environment for everyone to learn new things. You will be at a peace of mind when dealing with monetary end of the deal and you will get more things done at the house. There is nothing better than a well developed childcare center that allows your child an amazing time and skill development.
If we are in "health", we have more chances to be happy. Each of us hopes to have good health for himself, for family members, for friends. It depends first of all on us, on our behavior, on factors such as education, work, the home, the standard of living and also on our choices for a fairer society to reduce and improve the differences between individuals and social groups ( disabled people, migrants, non self-sufficient elderly people.) It is a demanding job that is done first of all where people live, on the territory.
The Health companies, represent an unprecedented organizational solution of local assistance that develops the integration of the health system with the social assistance, pursues health and social well-being guaranteeing the integrated management of the need and the continuity of the care path and favors citizen participation by providing forms of participation with institutional and association representatives.
They are public non-profit entities, established by voluntary adhesion of the Municipalities of the same area-district and of the Local Health Authority, for the associated exercise of territorial, social-health and integrated social health activities. "Two regional laws of 2014, the 44 and the 45, identify two instruments to regulate the territorial structures integrated in each district area: the continuation of the Health Company or the signing of a health and social convention between all the municipalities of the district area and the reference Local Health Authority. For this reason, where health societies are not established, the exercise of social and health integration for non self-sufficiency and disability is carried out through a special agreement stipulated by all the municipalities of the district area and by thelocal health unit of the territory.
On the territory of Tuscany, there are currently 15 Health Societies and 11 District Areas without SDS which must sign the Social-Health Convention referred to in Article 70 bis of Regional Law 40/2005.
In these organizations, professionals and health and social workers, the third sector and volunteer work side by side.
with? Health Companies, integrating the services and activities of Municipalities and Healthcare Companies, work to offer people unitary responses to socio-health and social needs and become the only interlocutor and gateway to local services.
Based on data on the health status of the local population, the SDS describe the objectives and plan the territorial socio-health interventions to achieve them. Knowledge of the epidemiological characteristics of a territory and participation are themselves important factors for the health of the individual and the community.
They deal with lifestyles and health promotion and on the basis of data on the health status of the local population, describe the objectives and plan the territorial socio-health interventions, as well as those of the integrated system of interventions and social services that are the responsibility of local authorities. , to reach them.
They organize and manage the social and health activities of non self-sufficiency and disability and the social assistance activities identified by the integrated regional health and social plan.
The best result in terms of health is acted on everything that contributes to building health, from the environment, to urban planning, transport, school, etc. All that can not be answered by the health organization alone, but it can do so with the intervention of the Municipalities.
The Integrated Health Plans represent the fundamental act with which the Health Companies program the objectives of health and wellbeing and care pathways, interpreted and implemented on the specific characteristics of each territory, define implementation actions and plan operational solutions and activate control tools, monitoring and evaluation.
The members of the bodies are not entitled to any compensation, with the exception of the director and the board of auditors. The Director of the Health Society is also the person in charge of the corresponding Health District, exercising the two roles in a contextual manner, without duplicating functions or compensation. The Chairman, the Statutory Auditors and the Assessors who make up the shareholders' meeting and the executive committee carry out these functions in the exercise of their mandates.
This article – which makes explicit and complete the meaning that we wanted to give the title of our blog – is complementary to the post "We are individuals or people?", Appeared on this site a few days ago.
"… the terms individual and person … hide two different ways of thinking about man.The concept of individual indicates a world closed in on itself, that of a person conceives the identity of each person in a dialogic way. , as a result of relationships ".
In continuity with this thesis we propose a distinction – intentionally radicalized – between the meanings of society (of individuals) and of community (of people).
We accompany this post with the images of the works of Pavel Filonov (1883-1941), painter of the Russian Avant-garde, unknown until 1988 – or up to the perestroika of Gorbachev – because he was opposed and censured by the Soviet power who never wanted to expose the production to the public. Today he is considered the great master of analytical painting and one of the most prestigious names in contemporary art.
There is a strong need for sociality in all of us and in all of our contemporary world. Our society consists of myriads of large and small companies of all kinds, of all sizes and sizes. Every day we see the pullover of old and new associations, groups, clubs, clubs, movements, meeting centers. Being in society is part of life itself: every man and every woman, from birth, apprenticeship of the society in progression: in the family, in the school, oratory, in peer groups, in the neighborhood or township, up, up to the national and supranational dimension of the global village.
Every form of these societies is permeated by the necessity of giving itself a functional organization, which requires stability, reassuring continuity of relationships and rules that are somehow recognized, accepted and in any case endured by their members.
But what is the nature of these very heterogeneous forms of association?
We articulate the discourse through a provocation: the opposition society of individuals – community of people. Society is a polysemic term and indicates, according to differentiated degrees and diversified forms, aggregation of interests and individuals. It is reality everywhere widespread. The community is instead a univocal term and indicates a union of people: it exists and has existed in the minds and hearts of many, but in a complete way it has not yet been historically realized except in small communities and still represents today. utopia unrealizable, but a model and a directive ideal.
