title: Physics is dead long live physics

text:
I was pleased to read about the launch of the James Webb space telescope on Christmas Day. I do hope everything goes smoothly. It will take about a month to get on station, about three months before it’s cold enough to function, and about six months before it’s commissioned. Unlike Hubble, which was in a low Earth orbit, Webb will be in a “halo” orbit around the L2 Lagrange point a million miles from Earth. Along the way there are 3 burns and 50 deployments with 178 release mechanisms. If anything goes wrong with those burns or deployments, or with the subsequent operation, it won’t be an easy fix. In fact, it probably won’t be a fix at all. So, fingers crossed, touch wood, and here’s hoping. Hubble was a great success, it opened our eyes to the awe-inspiring wonderful universe in which we live. I hope that Webb, with six times the mirror area, will be a great success too:
I was particularly pleased about the James Webb space telescope because 2021 hasn’t been a great year for physics and cosmology. The Nobel Prize in physics was a huge disappointment. Half went to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming”. The other half went Giorgio Parisi “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems”. I’m not a fan of the Nobel Prize at the best of times, because I think it sets science in stone and so impedes scientific progress. Heck, I think Alfred Nobel did a lot less harm with his god damn dynamite. But this year’s Nobel Prize in physics wasn’t even physics. It was climate change.
But I’m not a fan of climate change
I don’t know if you know, but I’m something of a green. I used to do all-day Sunday nature tasks with the Chief Keeper of the New Forest and the Curator of Poole Aquarium. My front garden is a garden, not a car park. My back garden includes a 6ft by 8ft pond which I dug myself. Then I put in the liner, then built the stone walls and laid the flagstones. I wish I’d made it bigger, but it is what it is. The newts love it, and it’s nice to hear the high-pitched croak of toads in the morning. As you can see, I have palms and ferns and other exotica. I’m going for the Jurassic look:
My pond, with 9-year-old human boy for scale
I grow vegetables of course. And of course, I’m concerned about deforestation and desertification and habitat loss, and about overfishing and whaling and bush meat. But I’m not a fan of climate change. I don’t doubt that the works of man can change the climate. I just dislike the way “climate change” legitimises the clear-felling of primal forests to feed Drax B, and the destruction of Indonesian jungle for palm oil plantations. I dislike the greenwash that says climate change is responsible for the reduction in the Kilimanjaro icecap, the demise of the puffin, desertification, and mass migration. That’s because I know that the real causes are deforestation, overfishing, overgrazing, and overpopulation. I also dislike the way they say “there is a scientific consensus”, then use this to silence all evidential challenge. If I don’t agree that last year was the warmest ever on account of my melons, then too bad, the scientific consensus says I’m wrong. I particularly dislike the use of the word denier. There’s no place in science for that, it’s the modern version of heretic. And more than anything else, I dislike the way climate change has been sucking up physics funding for years now. Like a parasite carried by the unwitting. Despite the climategate scandal that showed academics behaving very badly indeed. I am now a cynic. I now think climate change is a corrupted reverse-Robin racket which has just put your gas bill up by 70% and counting. I think of climate change as something that’s peddled and promoted by all those COP26 ZiL-lane billionaires who never mention China, plus the pampered princes of hypocrisy. You know, those condescending types who tell you that you shouldn’t own a car, even though they fly 200,000 miles a year in a private jet.
It just isn’t physics
Back on topic, I was similarly disappointed by the Physics World finalists for the 2021 Breakthrough of the Year. Whilst restoring speech to a paralysed man is a worthy achievement, it just isn’t physics, it’s medicine and computing. Making 30 lasers emit as one just isn’t physics either, it’s engineering. Meanwhile quantifying wave-particle duality is just hogwash, because particles are waves, and because Pascual Jordan solved the mystery of wave-particle duality way back in 1926. Hence I sighed when I saw the picture of the double slit experiment and read all the quantum bullshіt about complementarity:

I also sighed when I saw that the winner was Quantum entanglement of two macroscopic objects. Surely Joy Christian knocked all that on the head way back in 2007? He featured in Mark Buchanan’s New Scientist article Quantum Entanglement: Is Spookiness Under Threat? But no, what we have instead is “quantum technology has made great strides over the past two decades” when it absolutely has not. What we have is tiny resonating drums which are allegedly entangled, and where this so-called entanglement somehow “resembled a two-qubit gate”. That’s not physics either. That’s the jam-tomorrow two-bit quantum computing that’s also been sucking up physics funding for years now. The quantum computing that has almost killed off optical computing, and will never deliver anything useful at all. If you don’t believe me, read the Physics World article Quantum science & technology: Highlights of 2021. There are no highlights.
It just isn’t physics
There are no highlights in physics either. Take a look at the APS Highlights of the Year. What have we got? A Solar Rendezvous, about NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which was launched in 2018. Without the fundamental gravitational experiment that was going to measure the fine structure constant near the surface of the Sun. Then we’ve got the Muon’s Escalating Challenge to the Standard Model which includes the usual lies-to-children about virtual particles:
Muon cartoon images from the Muon The Muon g–2 Anomaly Explained
I am reminded of something Peter Woit said: “this nonsense continues to be heavily promoted in our most prominent and respected mass media”. As it happens he was talking about String Theory, but make no mistake, Standard Model physicists promote nonsense too. Anyway, the other APS “highlights” concern quantum primacy, more women physicists, green materials, time crystals, climate change fingerprints, MOND, neutron stars, and a spinning top. Quantum primacy, my arse. Green materials, green wash. Time crystals, FFS. It really is a poor show.
Relive 2021 at CERN
It’s a similar poor show in Relive 2021 at CERN. That’s a 6-minute video that tells you about things like the 13 gigapixel tracker for ALICE, how ATLAS detected three W-bosons, how CMS is homing in on the lifetime of the Higgs boson, and how LHCb has found hints of a violation in lepton flavour universality. Oh, they also “discovered” the odderon, but as ever the “discovery” was inferred, so you’ll just have to take their word for it. The video is great, the music is great, but the physics isn’t. Even though you can clearly see in that video that CERN have massive amounts of money to spend:
Screenshot from Relive 2021 at CERN
This is Big Science, no expense spared, but these are the guys who won’t tell you what an electron is. All they do say is that it’s a subatomic particle with a negative elementary electric charge. But hey, they have environmentally friendly beam lines, they’ve set out how they’re going to reduce their environmental footprint, and they’ve released a new version of their WebEnergy tool to better forecast energy consumption on site. This is CERN, the Centre European for Research Nuclear, who last mentioned Thorium: an energy source for the world of tomorrow in 2014. They aren’t doing the job they were set up to do, and they aren’t doing the job they decided to do instead. The inconvenient truth is that they get in the way of scientific progress because they’ve painted themselves into a corner with their “discoveries”. Hence they peddle myths like does antimatter fall up? even though everybody who knows anything about general relativity knows that it doesn’t. They won’t admit that an electron is a wave in a closed path, like Schrödinger said on page 26 of quantization as a problem of proper values, part II. If they did, you’d know that electron mass is just resistance to change-in-motion for a wave going around and around at c. Then you’d know that the lifetime of the fabulous Higgs boson is zero. It’s been nearly ten years since CERN “discovered” the Higgs boson. Fundamental physics did not advance then, and it hasn’t advanced since.
Timeline of fundamental physics discoveries
What have we had since 2012? The Wikipedia article on the Timeline of fundamental physics discoveries gives three items. The first was LIGO’s 2015 announcement that they’d observed gravitational waves. The trouble with that is that there’s an issue with black hole mergers. A gravitational field is a place where there’s a gradient in the speed of light. However a black hole is a place where this is zero. Hence the mechanism by which a body falls down just isn’t there. Hence something’s wrong. The second item was the 2019 announcement of the first image of a black hole. See Katie Bouman ‘hardly knew what a black hole was.’ Her algorithm helped us see one. They didn’t capture an image, they captured data which was used to create an image:
Note this: “There’s an infinite number of possible images that could have been created from the sparse measurements that we took”. Also note this in the Wikipedia Event Horizon Telescope article: “the observed image is consistent with expectations for the shadow of a spinning Kerr black hole”. The trouble with that is that Kerr black holes are associated with time travel, wormholes, and other universes, which are science fiction concepts rather than science fact. In addition Kerr black holes are said to spin at nearly the speed of light. However a black hole is a place where this is zero. Hence it can’t be spinning at nearly the speed of light. Hence something’s wrong again. Especially since there are no gamma ray bursts. The third item is the 2020 discovery of the room-temperature superconductor, but that was at a pressure of 2.6 million atmospheres, so it doesn’t count.
Ruminations on Cosmology and Time
I think it’s important to appreciate why time travel, wormholes, and other universes are science fiction, not science. You know how I mentioned Peter Woit? In October he referred to Fields Medallist David Mumford. Woit said Mumford “moved into physics this month with a wonderful article about cosmology in the Notices”. Unfortunately Mumford is a total beginner when it comes to physics, and the article isn’t wonderful at all. He doesn’t understand time, and he didn’t even know about Philip Gibbs’s relativistic rocket. His article includes a depiction of Kip Thorne’s Interstellar black hole:
Black hole depiction from David Mumford’s Ruminations on Cosmology and Time
That’s Kip Thorne of MTW fame, who used Interstellar to try to pass off time travel as bona-fide physics. Only it isn’t, because time is a cumulative measure of motion. It’s only a dimension in the sense of measure, not freedom of motion. Hence I can hop forward a metre, but you can’t forward a second. You can travel fast in space or descend near a black hole such that you’re subject to time dilation. But time dilation is merely a slowdown in your local motion. You can’t actually travel forward in time, so you can’t travel backward in time either. Mumford doesn’t know this. Instead he talks about the FLRW metric which “starts with the assumption of homogeneity and isotropy of space”. He doesn’t know that Einstein described a gravitational field as a place where space is neither homogeneous nor isotropic. In similar vein Mumford doesn’t know that the speed of light is spatially variable. Instead he thinks the point singularities predicted by Hawking and Penrose are “pretty much inevitable in general relativity”. Does he know that Einstein didn’t share this view? I don’t think so, because he thinks the infalling observer falls through the event horizon in his own proper time, but never ever does according to outside observers. He even says “the seeming conundrum of the geodesic continuing in this way is clarified, following Eddington and Finkelstein, by changing the time coordinate in the Schwarzschild metric”.
The Kerr model is one whose geodesic completion allows time travel into the past
Unfortunately you can’t use seconds of infinite length to airbrush over the end of time. Mumford doesn’t realise this, and instead says the Kerr model is “one whose geodesic completion allows time travel into the past”. He also says “At this point, physicists throw up their hands and say enough is enough. But mathematicians do not and, in fact, there is an infinite chain of new universes connected by similar coordinate changes”. He’s talking about an infinite chain of new universes connected by wormholes. Sadly Mumford got lost in maths. Sadly he is not alone. Only last month in the news we had Black hole breakthrough as portal ‘wormholes’ could be shortcuts across universe. It concerned a Live Science article Wormholes may be stable after all, new theory suggests. This in turn referred to a paper in the International Journal of Modern Physics D. Amazingly, there are people who call themselves physicists who actually believe in this, and journals that actually print it. What must Joe Public think?
Joe Public now has a very low opinion of physics
Sadly, I don’t think Joe Public cares any more. Sadly, I think Joe Public now has a very low opinion of physics. I think he has a low opinion of science in general. Covid hasn’t helped. I have the Boxing Day Telegraph in front of me. The headline says ‘Dodgy data’ used in push for tighter restrictions. The letters page is headed up with Apocalyptic Covid projections have harmed the public’s faith in science. Joe Public has the wisdom of crowds. He knows that “with Covid” is not the same as “of Covid”. He knows that the original lockdown was to stop the NHS being overwhelmed. He also knows that Omicron is usually mild, and that the NHS isn’t going to get overwhelmed now. So he knows that another lockdown is not necessary. Ditto for Covid passports. Ditto for vaccine mandates. Ditto for masks, which were said to be useless a year ago. A mask will cut down airborne droplets from somebody who’s coughing and spluttering, but if they’re ill they should be staying at home. Joe Public knows that. He also knows that questioning the diktats doesn’t make him an anti-vaxxer:
Citizen Cattle image by Ben Garrison, see Citizen Cattle 2021 – Grrr Graphics
He knows about the government scientists going off-piste with alarmist BBC interviews. He knows about Jeremy Nelson’s revelation on the overly-pessimistic Covid modelling. He knows that the apocalyptic omicron claims by scientists at Imperial deliberately omitted B and T cell memory. He knows that two-thirds of new Covid hospital patients in England only tested positive AFTER being admitted. He knows that the unvaccinated do not comprise the majority of Covid patients*. He knows that Doctors of Philosophy are posing as Doctors of Medicine to prophesy doom, and calling for restrictions which they’re now trying to rebadge as “protections”.
That cuts no ice with Joe Public
Aha, I hear you say. But Covid is the reason why it’s been a bad year for physics. That cuts no ice with Joe Public. He’s had to continue doing his job, driving a van or a truck or a forklift, or stacking the shelves or manning the till. He hasn’t been able to “work from home” like some of the better-paid people in society. Like those scientists who are forever banging the drum saying the unvaccinated are a danger. Joe Public knows that if he’s been vaccinated, he has little to fear from the unvaccinated. He knows full well that his children don’t get measles mumps or rubella when they’ve had their two MMR jabs. Besides, if the unvaccinated are a danger, does that mean Pfizer is ineffective? Is that why people are saying the AstraZeneca jab is behind the UK’s lower death rate? Then why has the AstraZeneca jab been dropped? It’s a mess. Things are getting ugly. The finger is getting pointed. Not just at politicians, but at scientists.
In 2021 campus cancel culture took an ugly turn
Scientists who are mostly academics. Academics who have been living their comfortable lives of ease whilst being utterly brazen about censorship. Joe Public knows full well that in 2021, campus cancel culture took an ugly turn. He takes a dim view of the censorship that “protects” those who pretend to be offended. He knows full well that “emotional safety” extends only to those who share the same set of woke values. He knows that others will be silenced and excluded by any means necessary. Joe Public knows that government measures to enforce freedom of speech were announced in May, but that universities are resisting it.
Joe Public doesn’t trust scientists any more
The bottom line is this: in 2021 Joe Public has seen that the mask has well and truly slipped, that too many scientists care nothing about honesty and fair play and deliver nothing of value. Joe Public doesn’t trust scientists any more. He doesn’t believe them any more. He knows he’s been lied to. To Joe, science is dead. Physics is dead. What he took for signs of life were just the minor movements of parasites feeding off the corpse. But this is not the end, because physics is the king of the sciences. A king might die, but he is replaced. Hence we say the king is dead, long live the king. And so it goes. When Joe Public gets to know about the real physics, as he will, he’ll believe in it again. Then it will be physics is dead, long live physics. Personally, I can’t wait. Long live physics!
* Addendum 19th February 2022: I was rather disturbed to see a reply by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) to a Freedom of Information request (FOI). The title is Deaths from COVID-19 with no other underlying causes. It said this: “Please see below for death registrations for 2020 and 2021 (provisional) that were due to COVID-19 and were recorded without any pre-existing conditions, England and Wales.
2020: 9432 (0-64: 1557 / 65 and over: 7875)
2021 Q1: 6483 (0-64: 1560/ 65 and over: 4923)
2021 Q2: 346 (0-64: 153/ 65 and over: 193)
2021 Q3: 1142 (0-64: 512/ 65 and over: 630)”
So 9,432 deaths were caused by Covid alone in 2020, and only about 17,000 people died of Covid alone in the UK in nearly two years. There’s something of a rebuttal here: To say only 17,000 people have died from COVID-19 is highly misleading.. However it doesn’t actually counter how many people died of Covid alone. In addition, the article is dishonest, because it says this: “For those people dying from COVID-19, the most common pre-existing condition was diabetes”. It’s dishonest because it doesn’t tell you that people with type-2 diabetes are usually obese, or that obese people usually have breathing problems. See Diabetes and Obesity and Impact of obesity on respiratory function. So if you’re young and fit and not obese, the chances of you dying from Covid are far lower than you dying of some other cause. As for the excess deaths, I shudder to think. See Total deaths in the UK in 2020 and deaths from heart attacks, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s and dementia, 2016 to 2020. There were about 150,000 cancer deaths in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. In 2020 they’ve broken down the cancer deaths by type, and said there were 69,101 COVID-19 deaths. Hence Covid is given as the leading cause of death. I’ve heard of lies, damn lies, and statistics, but that is appalling. Cancer is the leading cause of death, but they’re hiding the fact, as well as the fact that only 9,432 deaths were caused by Covid alone. I for one have had quite enough of all the dishonesty surrounding Covid. I’ve also had enough of all the Covid control-freaks and petty tyrants. Doubtless the same applies to the good people of Canada.

title: Embed a cla signing page using nodejs with the hellosign and github apis

text:
It’s common practice to ask developers contributing to an open source project to sign a Contributors License Agreement or CLA. A CLA lays out simple rules to ensure the contributor has the rights to use the code being incorporated as well as adherence to particular style or policies.
This tutorial shows one of the multiple ways to facilitate this process by implementing a CLA signing flow embedded in a webpage using the developer’s GitHub identity and the embedded signing capability of the Dropbox Sign API. More specifically, we will implement a minimalist Web Server using Node.JS and Express that will kick off an OAuth authorization flow with GitHub; It will first authenticate the user, then request authorization for our application to access the email of the contributor. With this information, we will directly present to the user a signing page containing the CLA document using the Dropbox Sign API. Additionally, the document to sign is created from a template and we will pre-fill it with the username and email pulled via the GitHub API.
Here is a screen capture of the flow we will implement:
One important thing about this flow, is that we first validate the signers identity. We delegate this task to GitHub as ultimately this is the identity required to make code contributions. This is a critical element before embedding the Dropbox Sign signing experience directly in your application as identity validation is left to the developer in an embedded scenario where Dropbox Sign is not responsible for sending emails to the signers.
This project will use the following tech stack:
- Node.js and Express for the Web server. The minimum version required for Node.JS is 8.2.1
- The HelloSign NodeJS SDK to make server API calls into Dropbox Sign
- The hellosign-embedded client-side library, allowing to embed the signing experience within a web page
Running the code
If you simply want to run the code, follow the steps below, otherwise, follow the tutorial for a step by step.
Preparing the server
Make sure Node.JS is installed on your machine, if that is not the case, go to Nodejs.org and get the latest version. At the time of building this sample code, we have used version 15.5.1. The minimum version required to support this sample code is 8.2.1.
To start your project, simply create a folder, navigate to it and initialize your project with a minimal package.json file
We will now install the following important dependencies:
- express as the Web application framework
- morgan that will give us Http login and enable us to see server activity in the terminal
- hbs which is is the handlebars view engine used by Express. The view engine allows express to create dynamic HTML content using templates stored inside the /views folder.
- dotenv used to load environment variables from an .env file
Run the following command to install the above libraries
Now create an index.js file and add the following code to initialize those libraries:
Keeping sensitive information safe
There is sensitive information that should not be hardcoded like application keys and secrets. There are also items that should be configured for a local test vs server production such as the redirectURL of the OAuth flow. The dotenv library loaded in the previous section will help us keep sensitive or environment specific information separate in an .env file. It is important to make sure you don’t commit this file to any repository. For a git repository, add it to the .gitignore file.
As a next step, create a .env file and add the following values which you will be replacing in the next sections.
Configuring the GitHub app
In order to request access to private information such as the user’s email, you need to register an OAuth application using your personal GitHub account. In this process, you will need to specify an Auth Callback URL which is the URL that GitHub will redirect to when the authorization is complete. In the GitHub app registration process enter the following value:
GitHub Authorization Callback URL
Once registered, you will be able to retrieve from the GitHub app configuration page the Client ID and the Client Secret. In the .env file replace the first three variables with the values from GitHub like shown below
Implementing GitHub OAuth
With GitHub configuration in place, we can implement the OAuth authorization flow which will not only authenticate the user, but it will also give us access to the contributors email after proper authorization. Here’s a diagram that shows the sequence of events on that flow.
With a valid authorization token we can now retrieve the primary email and the GitHub username. We will save both values in the current session, so if we receive another call from the same user, we don’t need to authorize the app again as long as the session is valid. So to complete the loop, we will check first if the user has an email and username in the existing session and if not, we will kick start the OAuth flow.
Let us first install all the libraries required for the OAuth implementation
And then, create a github.js file with the following code
Now let’s add the session initialization and the two routes in the index.js file: the /cla route to kick off OAuth, and the /auth route GitHub will redirect to after this has been completed. For this, add the following lines to the index.js file right after the port definition.
and add the routes piece right after the line where the server is started
Make sure to add any random value to the session secret in the .env file. Remember that for testing purposes we use local storage. For a production setup, please review the express-session documentation.
Configuring Dropbox Sign API app
To present the embedded signature page we will be making server calls to the Dropbox Sign API and also using a client-side library to display the signing experience in the browser. In order to use these two elements, you will need a Dropbox Sign API app configured. This API provides a Test mode which allows users to make non-legally binding signature requests for testing purposes for free and without having to enter a credit card. Making valid signature request calls requires a paid plan. For more information visit the Dropbox Sign API website.
To configure the Dropbox Sign API app:
- Create an account if you don't already have one and retrieve your API Key from the settings page. Copy this value into the .env file
- Create an API app (login required). You will need to enter a domain. If you don’t have a domain, just enter any sample domain like example.com as we are only going to be using Test mode and bypassing domain validation. Note that a production app requires this validation to be successful and client library will only work on a registered domain.
After creating the app, you'll be presented a Client ID. Copy the value into the .env file and with this, you should have now these two values in the .env file
Using Dropbox Sign Templates
One important element for this example is the ability to automatically pull a templated contract and pre-fill it with information about the user obtained from the authentication with GitHub. While the information we fill automatically into the contract such as GitHub username and email should not be allowed to be changed, we can also provide some fields to be filled by the signer at signature execution time. To learn more about templates, visit the template documentation page.
- Login to Dropbox Sign and click on the create a template option. Even if you don’t have a paid plan, you can create templates to try the API in Test mode
- Upload a document and click on Next at the top
- You will need to enter a signer role, this is important as you will need to specify it in the API calls. In this case, we will call the signer Contributor and will add it to the .env file
Now you need to prepare the template with some special considerations as described below
In general, what you will do is dragging fields from the left, place them on the document and configure them on the right. Each time you place a field, you can assign an owner and specify if it is required or not, a solid filling indicates that a field is required.
We will add two text boxes, one for username and another one for email. These are particular because we want to pre-fill them and we don’t want them to be editable as we are retrieving this information from GitHub ensuring that we can trace this contract to the user making a contribution. To accomplish this, you will need to assign them to the Sender role (which is added by default) as shown in the image (which is why they appear in purple color). Additionally, you need to give them a reference name that you can use with the API, in this interface is called the Merge Field. So, for the Merge Field we will use the following values: github_email and github_username. These will be referenced later in the source code.
Finally when you are saving your template, you can specify an email that will receive copies of signed documents and give your template a name, resulting in a message with a template id which you will also add to your .env file, completing the project configuration.
Embedding the signing experience
Part of the magic of the Dropbox Sign API is allowing to embed the signature experience directly in a website. This saves a back and forth of emails as we will send the user directly to the signature page once the authentication is complete on GitHub.
Embedding the page is accomplished in three steps:
Note: To know more about embedded singing, visit the Dropbox Sign API documentation
To accomplish the first two steps, we will add a new file called hellosign.js which will be responsible for making backend API calls. To make things simpler, we will use the Dropbox Sign NodeJS SDK.
Add the following code to the new file
so create a /views/index.hbs file with the following content
A few things to notice:
To complete the code, we will make a small modification to the routing sections in the index.js file. The modified code will work like this:
- When we receive a call to the /cla route, we check if we have an email stored in the session
- If no, we will get it from GitHub via OAuth, store it in the session and redirect to /cla
- Once we have the email and username in the session, we retrieve it and make a call to our HelloSign function to obtain the URL to embed
Modify the /cla route in the index.js by adding a require line referencing the hellosign.js file we created above and then replacing the /cla routing code with the one below.
What to do from here
This code sample is intended for test and API exploration purposes, If you want to build upon this code sample, here’s a list of important considerations for you to make:
- Dropbox Sign API apps that use embedded flows require going through an app approval process. More information in the Dropbox Sign API Embedded Signing guide.
- For session management, we use local storage. In a production environment you want to use a proper database.
- A good way to build upon this sample is to allow the signer to download to the signed document. For this you can directly fetch the document after it has been signed using the Get Files endpoint.

title: Spinal injuries

text:
Broken ribs and spinal injuries are two very different types of injuries, but they are two of the common elements of many kinds of personal injury cases. One of the major differences is that broken ribs are easier to assess and will typically manifest in consistent ways. Patients will know they have broken ribs because they will feel the localized pain associated with this injury. Spinal injuries can be much more abstract, however. Patients may not feel pain, although the underlying injury can lead to health conditions later on down the road.
Getting Quick and Impartial Medical Care
A major problem with accident cases involving spinal injuries concerns the process of differentiating traumatic injury from other types of gradual wear and tear on the body that can have similar symptoms, manifest in similar ways and exacerbate one another. Experienced injury lawyers know that there's always the challenge of identifying a cause-and-effect chain with respect to spinal health conditions and they look closely at whether a traumatic impact had a significant influence on such conditions.
The Difficulty With Diagnosing Cervical Pain From Degeneration and Injury
Spine-Health.com provides some clues as to the difficulty of directly diagnosing and treating traumatic impact of the spine. The article first discusses how certain parts of the spine can be damaged and cause cervical pain after traumatic impact. It goes into detail about these injuries, but also provides this disclaimer: “A full review of cervical fractures is beyond the scope of this article.” The article also discusses another clue with respect to the relationship of traumatic impact of the spine and natural aging conditions, stating “It should be noted that trauma to cervical vertebrae occurs less often than cervical pain and other symptoms resulting from changes that occur with aging, such as the development of bone spurs in the neck and cervical osteoarthritis.” The article then goes on to describe bone spurs and symptoms.

title: Home price reduction levels rise for fourth straight month

text:
September 16, 2009
Trulia, Inc. announced that 26% of homes currently on the market in the United States as of September 1, 2009 have experienced at least one price cut. Price reduction levels have increased for the fourth straight month and have seen a 10% overall increase compared to June of this year. During the summer months of June to September, the total amount slashed from home prices has increased by more than $1.1 billion from $27.4 billion to $28.5 billion. The average discount for price-reduced homes remains at ten percent off of the original listing price.
Jacksonville experienced the highest level of price reductions for the fourth straight month with 37% of current listings seeing at least one round of discounts. Additionally, several cities continue to experience high levels of price reductions with Albuquerque, Indianapolis, Milwaukee Minneapolis, Portland and Raleigh all earning spots in the top ten for the second straight month.
The steady rise in price reductions is a signal that sellers are still trying to adjust to the ever changing market conditions,” said Pete Flint, Trulia co-founder and CEO. “We expect the $8,000 federal tax incentive to extend the peak home purchasing season beyond the summer months, continuing to drive competition amongst sellers and ultimately leading to more price reductions, giving consumers a great opportunity to find the home of their dreams.”
Several cities have seen four consecutive months where the percent of homes that have seen a price reduction has increased month-over-month, underscoring that sellers across the country might not be fully adjusting their home value expectations to the current real estate market.
Luxury Market Getting Hit Hard
Luxury homes (those listed at two million dollars and above) continue to bear the brunt of discounts being offered with an average of 14% being slashed from the original asking price compared to the national average of 10%. Additionally, luxury homes represent barely 2% of all current listings on Trulia, but are responsible for 25% of the $28.5 billion in home price reductions.

Dr. Larry Vandeventer was born at home in Ghost Hollow, Indiana, 13.2 lustrums ago and grew up on a farm near Calvertville. A lustrum is five years. His education began in a two-room country school in Calvertville, Indiana, with two teachers teaching eight grades. Eventually, he attained a Ph.D. from Indiana State University.
He and Wanda have been married more than nine lustrums and they have two married, professional daughters: TW who is married to Keith and TM who is married to Todd and they have one child, a perfect and well-advanced four-year old preemie granddaughter whose life is chronicled in his third book, There Is A Booger In There And Other Little Audrey Stories. Another granddaughter is expected in March 2006. Hooray! It is our hope that she knows about calendars and time lines.
His work life has been varied. He has worked as a farm hand, a service station attendant, a custodian while in college, in banking, served in U.S. Navy and as a full-time minister for a decade.
Since then he has been a public school teacher, high school assistant principal and later the principal and assistant superintendent. Currently he is a professor of graduate and post-graduate education, newspaper columnist and author. He has published a newspaper column in four Indiana newspapers. Currently his column appears in the Spencer Evening World. Geezers is his fourth book. The first was Bumps In The Road, then Life In The Past Lane, followed by Audrey and now You Might Be A Geezer. Who said nothing good could come out of hills of Highland Township? The jury is still out on that one.
At this stage in his life he does pretty much what he wants to and doesn''t get started on that until he feels like it.

Fairy Crassula is a low-maintenance succulent grown indoors or out. It is a beautiful addition to any home garden because of its bright green foliage and white star-shaped flowers.
Fairy Crassula Care
Fairy Crassula, also known as Crassula multicava is a dainty succulent with adorable heart-shaped leaves that gather in a captivating rosette, its main identification feature. These leaves often rock a vibrant green hue, with the occasional flirtatious hint of red along their edges. Our lovely Fairy Crassula typically grows to a modest height of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) and gracefully spreads its charm.
How to Care for the Plant
Check the soil's moisture level with the finger test - stick it about an inch (2.5 cm) in, and if it's dry, your plant's asking for a drink. But a word of caution - overwatering can spell trouble in the form of root rot, so ease up on that watering can.
Just keep an eye out for those yellowing or sickly leaves, and a quick snip will do the trick. This keeps your plant looking dapper and prevents it from getting too crowded in the container.
If you decide to feed it, make it a monthly affair with a balanced liquid fertilizer, but make sure you dilute it by half. Now, when winter comes knocking, it's time to put the fertilizer on pause.
These plants favor indirect, bright light. Place it near a window facing south or east. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may cause plant leaves to burn.
This flowering plant will thrive in a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. These mixes often have some sandy, perlite, or pumice goodness in them, just the ticket for your succulent's comfort.
Start with stem cuttings - just pick a robust stem, let the cut end toughen up for a day or two, and plant it in a well-draining succulent mix. Keep the soil lightly moist until those roots make their debut, which usually takes a few weeks. Or, if you prefer the leaf route, plop a healthy leaf into well-draining soil, follow a similar care routine, and watch it sprout new roots and growth.
The Fairy Crassula's temperature sweet spot is between 50-75°F (10-24°C). But don't go to extremes; too hot or too cold could be its kryptonite and cause some harm.
To give your Fairy Crassula the perfect place to flourish, opt for a container with a depth of 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) and a diameter of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm). The key to this choice is ensuring it has good drainage so your plant doesn't end up with soggy roots. You can go classic with terracotta or ceramic pots or stick with the practicality of plastic.
It's a star when it comes to acting as ground cover. Picture this - it forms a luxurious green carpet, making your garden look like a fairy tale. And let's not forget the elegant star-shaped flowers it dons, coming in dainty shades of pink and white. These not only boost its ornamental appeal but also summon a parade of pollinators to the garden.

Preorder. Ships Sept 2008. A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! If adventure has a name...it must be Indiana Jones! And if craftsmanship has a name...it must be Kotobukiya! The two finally come together with the release of a new series of high-end collectibles covering all installments of the worldwide phenomenon - even the upcoming fourth film: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull!
ARTFX Theatre is an innovative new concept which combines a movie's key elements into a hyper-detailed, three-dimensional collage. There will be four different Indy Theatres, with one based on each film in the series. The debut release will take us back to 1981 to the film that started it all: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
Almost 12" tall, the intricate sculpting of this piece is hard to comprehend until you have viewed it in person. The side portray the incredible stone sculptures of the Peruvian shrine, and the top shows the infamous podium from the first scene in Raiders. With bullwhip flailing and idol in hand, Indiana Jones flees the temple with the now legendary gigantic boulder hot on his heels! Lesser men have failed in their quest for this object - look no further than the grisly torso on the right. I'm not sure if Forestal would consider such a fate "cashing in". The amount of detail in this diorama is simply stunning and will certainly be the centerpiece of any Indy collection.
ARTFX Theatres are fun to assemble, pvc plastic snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill, with unsurpassed quality and detailing. Look for more Indiana Jones saga collectibles to be released from Kotobukiya in 2008!

title: Nordic extends power management ic family with latest addition

text:
Nordic Semiconductor has extended its nPM portfolio of Power Management ICs (PMICs) with the introduction of the nPM2100 PMIC. It is designed to prolong operating time per battery for primary, non-rechargeable battery applications by managing energy resources using an ultra-efficient boost regulator and a wide range of energy-saving features.
The applications for the new PMIC include wireless mice and keyboards, consumer asset tracking, remote controls, and body-worn medical devices.
According to CORDIS, 28 billion primary batteries are discarded worldwide each year and manufacturing a primary battery requires, on average, 50 times the energy it stores, making it an extremely inefficient energy source. Furthermore, inefficient power management wastes a substantial part of the stored energy, resulting in many batteries being thrown away before they are fully depleted.
The nPM2100 addresses these challenges with its boost regulator and unique energy-saving features — including primary-cell fuel gauging— addressing power management inefficiencies while also ensuring that all the battery’s stored energy is used before the cell is thrown away.
“Not all IoT products can rely on rechargeable batteries or energy harvesting to operate. This means that primary batteries aren’t going away any time soon,” explained Geir Kjosavik, Product Director – PMICs, at Nordic Semiconductor. “However, by using the nPM2100, designers will be able to access much more of the energy stored in those primary cells, making products last longer between battery changes or allowing the use of smaller batteries for the same battery life – resulting in more compact, lighter, and less expensive products.”
The nPM2100 targets primarily battery applications, with supported batteries including one or two AA/AAA/LRxx batteries (in series), or one 3 V LiMnO2 cell. Single- or dual-cell silver oxide and zinc-air coin-cell batteries are also supported, as well as any other primary battery that operates within the nPM2100’s input voltage range.
The nPM2100 features a boost regulator with an output range of 1.8 to 3.3V, powered from an input range of 0.7 to 3.4V. The regulator can deliver up to 150mA maximum current. The regulator also powers a Load Switch/LDO supplying up to 50 mA across an output range of 0.8 to 3.0V. The regulator features a quiescent current (IQ) of 150nA and delivers up to 95% power conversion efficiency at 50mA and 90.5% efficiency at 10µA, making it one of the most efficient contemporary boost regulators on the market.
The nPM2100 PMIC also features a low current ship mode that allows products to be transported with the battery inserted. The ship mode supports a 35nA sleep current with multiple wakeup options, including a patent-pending ‘break-to-wake’ function. It also features an ultra-low power wakeup timer that can run concurrently with ship mode to allow timed wakeups. The timer can be used for a deeper sleep setting than the power-off of a SoC or MCU can provide. The nPM2100’s total current draw in hibernate mode is less than 200nA.
A voltage and temperature-based fuel gauge running on the host microprocessor also enables more accurate battery level measurements and enables users to access all the energy in the battery with full confidence.

By Kamsi Anayo, Awka
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state, has warned that the state government would seal any shop or plaza that fails to open on Mondays as a result of sit-at-home.
Soludo gave the warning when he visited Onitsha Main Market to inspect commercial activities in the market and its environs on Monday.
The governor, during the visit, was seen going round some of the
shops and plazas in the market, with some closed, and some others open.
He was also seen exchanging a warm handshake with one of the traders —a fashion wares dealer — as a compliment for being in business on Monday.
Addressing the traders shortly after the inspection, Soludo, said he would be visiting the market every Monday to inspect business activities.
He emphasized that any shop or plaza that does not open on Mondays henceforth because of sit-at-home, would be sealed for one week, or even up to one month, as the case may be.
He further assured that adequate security would be provided for the people for their protection.
He urged them to open their shops and carry on with their commercial activities from Monday through to Saturday.
His words: “I’m on inspection to be sure that your shops are all open. Every Monday, every shop must be open. On Mondays, in the Main Market, shops must be open.
“I came to see how it is going. We are bringing security to make sure that everybody has adequate security. When you continually close your shops on Mondays those who ought to come here to buy market will go to another place.
“And in a small time, you would begin to complain that you no longer sell your wares or that customers no longer come as supposed; but you are the cause. So, this is unacceptable.
“I’ll be here again every Monday. We’ll be back here. Anytime, any shop that is not open will be sealed and will never be open again for that week.
“Even at the point, if you are not open, we’ll seal you for one month. You won’t open again. Then, any day you are ready to open, you open from Monday, Monday through to Saturday.
“All the shops, if you want to trade around here, all the shops must be open Monday through Saturday. So if you have a shop and you can’t open it on Mondays, then keep it locked for the rest of the week.”

title: His open win made this hybrid popular but its manufacturer could not capitalize

text:
It’s rare for a single club to be the highlight of a major championship win, but it does happen.
Think Gene Sarazen’s 4-wood from the 1935 Masters, Jack Nicklaus’ jumbo MacGregor putter from the 1986 Masters or Henrik Stenson’s trusty Callaway Diablo Octane Tour 3-wood from his 2014 Open Championship win.
Also on that short list: Todd Hamilton’s Royal Troon-conquering Sonartec MD hybrid, which is very similar to his Open win from 20 years ago.
Thanks to Hamilton, Sonartec is known for its hybrids, but before their MD was successful, the product was already a small company focused on wood with many fans. Their products were first brought to North America by an entrepreneur in 2000; the clubs were under the Sonartec name, with technology licensed from a Japanese company called Royal Collection.
Models from the SS Series, including the SS-03 and SS-07, were popular on the PGA Tour with many players, including Nick Price. David Duval used a Sonartec fairway wood when he won his first major at the 2001 Open Championship.
Hamilton’s club was a 17-degree Sonartec MD hybrid that bent down at a loft of 14 degrees and was built at 42.5 inches, just under the standard 3-wood length. Hamilton used that team many times during his wins, hitting his most famous shot in qualifying against Ernie Els.
On the fourth and final hole of the combined score play-off, Hamilton putt his Sonartec just short of the green and let loose a bump and run into the hard, tight fairway to less than three feet from the fairway.
Even if the last shot was the most memorable, Hamilton had used the club several times off the tee during the week to avoid trouble and had only one bunker in four rounds.
Rise and fall
Like many small companies that have enjoyed success on the big stage, Sonartec was unprepared for the influx of requests from retailers and golfers following Hamilton’s victory.
The company found a strong niche with better players needing fairway woods and hybrids, but when demand far exceeded initial forecasts, production delays followed. That delay allowed other companies — namely, TaylorMade and its Rescue models, as well as other smaller companies, such as Nickent and Adams — to capture the newfound passion among golfers for hybrids.
Even after its success in 2004, Sonartec predicted low availability of its MD hybrids in 2005 and soon had to play catch-up after delays caused by several problems, including a shortage of graphite shafts and even headcovers. Then, in an effort to expand its offerings to include driver, wedges and clubs that appeal more to golfers with disabilities, Sonartec ended up digging itself a financial hole that led the company to seek outside investment.
Although the funding allowed Sonartec to continue investing in R&D and inventory, the relationship quickly soured due to financial and debt conditions, and due to the financial crisis of 2008, Sonartec was officially closed in March 2008.
Although the company is gone, its mixed-race legacy will live on thanks to one amazing week at Royal Troon.

title: Maradonas daughters worried about the state of their father

text:
Celebrated Argentine Football star, Diego Maradona has as of late been in the news again, as he has posted a peculiar video via social media where he has his hands tied by a cake lace. Maradona’s daughters were not content with what their father did, and thinks he is possibly “held captive”.
Notwithstanding, the former football whiz made this video to slake the claims that he is being “held prisoner” by his associates. The 59-year-old has along these lines rubbished that statement.
Maradona’s girls, Gianinna Maradona (a fashion designer), 31, and Dalma, 33, are however worried about their father’s exorbitant consumption of hard liquor.
Because of this issue, they plan to recuperate their father from the drinking disposition by going to court to discover a solution for their father.
According to Gianinna:
“I don’t have to expose my dad. If I do it, it will be in front of a judge, so it can be done judicially. “I don’t tell him not to drink alcohol anymore. But he doesn’t enjoy it. I want my dad to keep living.
“I’m at the limit where I don’t have to expose my dad. If I do it, it will be in front of a judge, so it can be done judicially.”
A month ago, the 1986 World Cup champ became famous online in the wake of blazing his bum to the camera while hitting the dance floor with his sweetheart.
Meanwhile, as per Maradona, he is okay and it is extremely unlikely that he has been detained as is being sold around.

Page Load Time
Page load time is the time it takes for your entire page to load. It’s the most obvious metric and is critical for user retention. A delay of just one second can result in a 7% reduction in conversions!
Time to First Byte (TTFB)
TTFB measures the time it takes for the browser to receive the first te of data from the server. A high TTFB usually indicates that the server is slow in responding, which can dramatically affect the perceived speed of your site.
First Contentful Paint (FCP)
FCP is the time it takes for the browser to render the first piece of content (text, images, etc.). This is one of the most important user experience indicators, as it tells the user that the site is starting to load.
Key Factors That Affect Web Performance
Many factors contribute to how fast (or slow) a website performs. Let’s break down some of the primary ones.
The performance of your server plays a huge role in how quickly your website loads. A slow or underpowered server can increase TTFB and cause delays in delivering content. Hosting your website on a powerful, reliable server is essential for fast load times.
Network latency is the delay caused the physical distance between the user’s device and the server. The farther the server, the longer it takes for data to travel. While you can’t entirely eliminate latency, using techniques like CDNs can help reduce it.
Browsers need to process and render content from a website. If your site is heavy on scripts, stylesheets, or media, it could slow down this rendering process. Optimizing these elements helps speed things up.
Best Practices for Web Performance Optimization
Now, let’s explore some of the most effective ways to improve your website’s performance.
Optimize Images and Media
One of the biggest culprits for slow websites is large image files. Here’s how to optimize them:
Use tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim to compress images without losing quality. This significantly reduces their file size, leading to faster load times.
Using Modern Image Formats
WebP and AVIF are two modern image formats that offer better compression and quality than JPEG and PNG. By using these formats, you can reduce the size of images without compromising on quality.
Minification is the process of removing unnecessary characters (like spaces, line breaks, and comments) from code to reduce its size. Additionally, compressing these files (using Gzip or Brotli) can further reduce their size, speeding up load times.
Implementing Caching Techniques
Caching allows browsers to store static resources locally, so they don’t have to be reloaded each time a user visits your site. Use HTTP caching headers to tell the browser how long it should cache certain resources.
Using Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
Lazy Loading and Asynchronous Loading
Lazy loading allows images, videos, and other content to load only when the user scrolls down to them. This improves the initial load time. Similarly, asynchronous loading ensures that scripts don’t block the rendering of the page, speeding up page load.
Advanced Web Performance Optimization Techniques
If you want to take your web performance to the next level, consider implementing some of these advanced techniques.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 Implementation
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are newer versions of the HTTP protocol, which are optimized for better performance. HTTP/2, for example, allows multiple requests to be sent over a single connection, improving page load times.
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and Static Site Generation (SSG)
Server-side rendering involves rendering the HTML on the server rather than in the browser. This can significantly reduce the time it takes for the user to see content. Similarly, static site generation pre-builds HTML pages, serving them instantly to users.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
PWAs combine the best features of websites and mobile apps. They load quickly, work offline, and provide an app-like experience. By adopting PWA techniques, you can boost your site’s performance and user engagement.
Tools to Monitor and Analyze Web Performance
Monitoring your website’s performance is key to understanding how well your optimization efforts are working.
Google Lighthouse is a free, open-source tool that audits your website’s performance and provides actionable recommendations for improvement. It measures performance across several metrics, including FCP and TTFB.
WebPageTest and GTMetrix
WebPageTest and GTMetrix are both excellent tools for running speed tests on your site. They offer detailed reports on what’s slowing your site down and suggest ways to fix it.
Conclusion: Boosting Web Performance for Better User Experience
Web performance optimization is not just a technical requirement—it’s an essential part of delivering a superior user experience. By implementing the strategies outlined above, you can ensure your website is fast, efficient, and ready to meet the demands of modern web users. So, why wait? Start optimizing today and watch your site’s performance—and user satisfaction—soar!


title: How many people are impacted by

text:
There is still a strong stigma associated with mental health. People assume that those with mental illness are different than others or they can simply wish away their problems. People with mental health issues can feel and in fact be excluded from regular activities such as finding a job, safe places to live, or can be even be outcasted by their friends, family, or community. These misunderstandings in our society can prevent people from speaking out about their mental health challenges, so many people suffer in silence.Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Let’s take action to promote #mentalhealth in the workplace https://t.co/mtPU4YO2b8 pic.twitter.com/zh8RakaAtW— WHO (@WHO) October 9, 2017
Beyond the personal toll that mental health takes on people's lives, it has an even greater cost to society. Depression is known to be the common cold of mental illnesses, and there are 300 Million people impact by it globally.
The scale of the challenge is large, and the level of services and funding is limited. We need new solutions to tackle this scale of problem, which is why our mission at CIMHS is to make effective mental health services more accessible to people around the world.
One way we hope to make a dent is through with Bliss our free online therapy program for depression that we've developed over the last few years. We've taken scientifically proven techniques for improving depressed mood and created a free 8 week online therapy program that people can complete on their own. We recognize the major barrier with stigma for seeking help, so people can complete the program anonymously.
Our hope is that once people realize what a therapy program is all about, they are more inclined to seek additional needed help to get back to their healthy selves.

*** UPDATE *** AB 2016 was signed into law on September 13, 2016 by Governor Brown! Click here to download the full text of the law ---> DOWNLOAD
I support AB 2016, which instructs the Superintendent to establish a model curriculum for Ethnic Studies beginning the school year of 2017-18. Beginning with the school year after the development of the model curriculum, each school district with grade 9-12 will be required to offer the class to their students as an elective for social science.
California has one of the largest and most diverse student populations in the nation. Ethnic minorities account for over 71 percent of the student population, with more than 90 languages spoken in the state’s school districts
Given California’s annual increase in population diversity, it is especially important that students build knowledge of the various racial and ethnic groups in our state. Incorporating ethnic studies courses into standard high school curriculum is a means to accomplish this. In doing so, students gain an encompassed outlook on other cultures while learning respect and tolerance. Additionally, it provides students with the opportunity to learn about their respective culture in the context of California’s history.
Developing ethnic studies programs in all public high schools is an integral part of cultivating a classroom environment that is accepting of diverse cultures. It is vital for young people to learn about their history, but also important for them to feel like they can change their communities in positive ways. This bill will help close the achievement gap by reducing student truancy, increasing student enrollment, reduce drop-out rates, and better prepare Californian youth to be college-prepared and career-ready.

Asparagus Recipe Mysteriously Finds Its Way Into Belgian Legal Text
Asparagus, as we have learned, is a mystical and magical vegetable. It can predict the future. In Germany, late spring/early summer is known as spargelzeit, dedicated to the celebration and consumption of white asparagus. And now it has found its way into a discussion of economic law in Moniteur Belge, the francophone edition of Belgium's official journal, which publishes all new laws, decrees, ordinances, official notices, and other matters of public record. But why should a recipe for white asparagus gratin not be a subject of national importance?
The recipe was discovered by lawyer Morgan Moller, The Brussels Times reports, who promptly posted the discovery on Twitter.
Ik heb het gehad met mensen die zeggen dat het Belgisch Staatsblad nutteloos is. Je vindt er alles : wetten, besluiten, recepten om te koken, noem maar op.
Eerlijk : in mijn juridische carriere deze hilariteit nog niet vaak tegengekomen. 😁 pic.twitter.com/VKR9rJOg6Z
— Morgan Moller (@morganmoller) May 28, 2021
Translation: "I have had it with people who say that the Moniteur Belge is useless. You can find everything in there: laws, determinations, recipes, you name it."
"Honestly: in my legal career, I have not often come across this hilarity," Moller told The Brussels Times.
The recipe only appeared in the online version of the Moniteur, and editors quickly removed it. They also insisted that the recipe was not actually a legal text. Which, okay, I guess that makes it less embarrassing? Anyway, the recipe seems to have come from the site Marmiton. Go ahead and try it for yourself. Bonus points if you can already read French, and double bonus points if you think it tastes like the law.


title: About a sequel

text:
“Mad Dog House” has many favorable reviews, even though it’s been out for only one month. I find that very gratifying. Many reviewers have commented that it should become a film, while others ask for a sequel. I never wrote the story with either a sequel or series in mind; rather, it was written as a stand-alone novel.
But while it has its own power, the novel, leaves plenty of room for a sequel. My concern is that I’ve read many suspense/thriller novels that were followed by poorly written sequels. They were obviously rushed so the novelist could ride the seductive wave of demand. The second book suffers as a result.
I’ve decided to write a sequel to “Mad Dog House.”
But I’ll do it only when there’s been enough time for the creative juices to flow. I find that reading reviews and listening to readers’ comments help cement the undercurrents in the novel. They also provide insights about the characters I never willfully thought about. The novel and its characters need time to marinate in my mind. It will all evolve into a new and perilous situation from which Roddy and Danny must extricate themselves, if they can.
The last thing I want is for “sequel fever” to take hold, resulting in a formulaic novel. I want Roddy Dolan and Danny Burns to ride a perilous, fear-filled rollercoaster just as they did in “Mad Dog House.” That will satisfy readers far more than a rushed sequel.
After all, a good story takes time to tell.
Author, “Mad Dog House”

During their stay in Brussels, representatives of the Center of Competence, director Ivan Ambroš and Ivan Janić visited the Representation of Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem, and the head of the Representation's office Renata Taušan participated in an interregional meeting of good practice.
Center competence d.o.o. for research and development with headquarters in Gradište, not far from Vinkovci, was founded with the aim of strengthening the innovation potential of the Vukovar-Srijem County economy and harmonizing research and development strategic plans with the needs of the economy, acting in the public interest. Center competence d.o.o. for research and development is a specialized business entity that carries out research projects of a developmental or production nature and develops competencies in the field of bioeconomy, and with which other business entities can contract research and development services.
The competence center is one of the partners in the NBS4LOCAL project of the Interreg Europe program for adaptation to climate change, and these days an interregional meeting of good practice is being held in Brussels. On this occasion, the Competence Center presented as many as four examples of good practice from the Republic of Croatia:
The NBS4LOCAL project is focused on nature-based solutions (NBS) that offer environmentally friendly interventions to restore and protect ecosystems, as well as building a sustainable approach in societies when adapting to climate change and natural disasters.
The main goal of the Project is to improve policies for encouraging, supporting and establishing NBS solutions as a priority, which improves the support systems for adaptation to climate change and encourages the systematic application of environmentally conscious solutions in local interventions.
NBS4LOCAL includes six European regions that bring together national, regional and county levels, tackle location-specific challenges, use adaptive examples of good practice and promote the values of NBS as an integral part of climate change adaptation interventions.
The project holder is the Ministry of the Interior of Hungary, and the partners are, apart from the Competence Center: the Flemish Land Agency, the Regional Council of Lapland, the Rzeszów Regional Development Agency, the Provincial Council of Alicante, BURST non-profit limited company and the Office of the Prime Minister of Hungary.

text: About InVivoMAb anti-mouse Kappa Immunoglobulin Light Chain The 187.1 monoclonal antibody reacts with the kappa chain of the mouse immunoglobulin light chain. The κ chain is one of two types of polypeptide subunits which make up the immunoglobulin light chain. A typical antibody is composed of two immunoglobulin heavy chains and two immunoglobulin light chains. The κ chain is coded for by V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant) genes. These genes undergo V(D)J recombination to generate a diverse repertoire of immunoglobulins.

"Cdc42 is a key regulator of B cell differentiation and is required for antiviral humoral immunity" J Exp Med 212(1): 53-72. PubMedThe small Rho GTPase Cdc42, known to interact with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) protein, is an important regulator of actin remodeling. Here, we show that genetic ablation of Cdc42 exclusively in the B cell lineage is sufficient to render mice unable to mount antibody responses. Indeed Cdc42-deficient mice are incapable of forming germinal centers or generating plasma B cells upon either viral infection or immunization. Such severe immune deficiency is caused by multiple and profound B cell abnormalities, including early blocks during B cell development; impaired antigen-driven BCR signaling and actin remodeling; defective antigen presentation and in vivo interaction with T cells; and a severe B cell-intrinsic block in plasma cell differentiation. Thus, our study presents a new perspective on Cdc42 as key regulator of B cell physiology.

I have now finished to move the server to the new provider. I will be busy in the coming days to properly setup all the other stuff that is on the server, email accounts migration etc. After that I will be able to care about the shop manager and other stuff that is not finished right now.
We have now much more RAM and processing power as described before. I will see what I can do to use this optimally for the server. There is a potential that we can increase mob spawning rates and other things. I will try to dial the limits up over the coming days and see how that affects server performance.
I also re-setup the off-site backup now and made sure that we back up the databases and the files once a day. On top of that, the new server has RAID 1 dual HDs for the SSD and the normal HD on the server. Since the server is located on the SSD and I make a mirror on the HD, we have now 5 different places where the data is stored. So unless a meteorite hits somewhere or I do something incredibly stupid, we should be good :)
FYI, what happened on the previous server. At the time, I had a free account for the off-site backup which had limited storage space. I made the decision at the time to only store the weekly backups of the files offline since they take a lot of space. In the meantime I bought an account for the offsite backup for private reasons (to have a backup of my photos) and therefore now also have enough space for the daily files of the minecraft server. What happened on the old server was most likely a defect HD controller. Still now, after I got new HDs, there are still issues. Since the provider has a policy to replace both HDs in case one fails, the main HD was ruined when he connected it to the external connector. The fact that they did not give me a complete new server when I negotiated for a new 2 year lease, was the trigger for me to look for an alternative provider, luckily I found one.
