Sinossi

May of us harbour deep questions on subjects such as the origin of the universe, the concepts of time and causality, the nature of consciousness and free will, the mind-body problems of philosophy, the relationship between mathematics and physics, and more. Conventional answers will usually be from fundamental physics (often deeply mathematical) or philosophy (often very abstract). This work takes a different view of reality by substituting mathematical determinism for causal determinism, thereby making it clear why mathematics so adequately describes our observations and measurements. It then deconstructs many aspects of experience - all of which taint our supposedly objective study of the universe - to see how they emerge from a timeless block universe. Subjects such as quantum theory, change, choice, probability, thermodynamics, and consciousness all have to be disassembled. The conclusion is consistent with both mathematics and experience, provides an answer that is immune from the question of 'first cause', and yet does not lead to further questions, albeit in an unexpected way.

    Two Shakes of a Lamb's Tail is the funny, illuminating diary of a year in the life of a New Zealand farm vet 
      
    With a husband and two children, 1200 sheep and 400 cattle, farm dogs and pet lambs, pigs bent on excavation and a goat bent on escape, country life is never dull. From calving cows to constipated dogs, weddings to weaning lambs, daffodils to ducklings to droughts, each season brings new challenges and delights. Sometimes it's exhausting but it's almost always a lot of fun - anyway, it's all part and parcel of the life of a Kiwi mother, farmer's wife and vet.

    Dermatology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin diseases, conditions, and cosmetic issues. The skin, being the largest organ in the human body, plays a crucial role in protecting internal organs from external threats such as pathogens, chemicals, and UV radiation. It also regulates temperature, facilitates sensation, and contributes to overall health. Given its numerous functions, the importance of dermatology in healthcare cannot be overstated. 
    As a visible organ, the skin often reflects a person’s internal health. Changes in skin appearance or texture can indicate underlying medical conditions, such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, dermatology is not only concerned with treating skin-specific ailments but also with identifying and addressing broader health issues. For instance, many systemic diseases, such as lupus or diabetes, manifest with skin symptoms, which dermatologists are trained to recognize and interpret. 
    In addition to its diagnostic capabilities, dermatology is vital for managing a wide range of common skin conditions, some of which can significantly impact a person's quality of life. Disorders such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis are prevalent, with millions of people worldwide affected by these conditions. These disorders often have both physical and psychological effects, as they can cause discomfort, scarring, and social stigma. Dermatologists are skilled in offering both medical treatments and cosmetic procedures to help individuals manage these conditions effectively.

    Wearable technology has rapidly transformed from a niche innovation to an integral part of modern life. From smartwatches that count our steps to clothing embedded with biometric sensors, wearable tech is shaping how we manage our health, interact with our environment, and even express our personal style. The evolution of wearables reflects not only advancements in hardware and software but also shifting consumer expectations toward more seamless and personalized digital experiences. 
    The origins of wearable technology can be traced back to simple pedometers and heart rate monitors used in fitness. Over time, these devices evolved with the integration of wireless communication, miniaturized sensors, and artificial intelligence. Today, wearables are capable of monitoring a range of physiological and environmental data in real time. They’re designed to be both functional and discreet, often appearing as everyday accessories like watches, rings, eyeglasses, or even fabric. This convergence of fashion and function has helped wearables gain mainstream appeal across various demographics. 
    At the heart of wearable technology are several key components. Sensors are fundamental, enabling the device to track everything from movement to temperature to heart rate variability. These sensors collect data, which is then processed by microprocessors embedded within the wearable. Wireless connectivity, typically through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allows information to be transmitted to smartphones or cloud-based platforms for analysis and visualization. The user interface, often displayed through a mobile app, gives individuals meaningful feedback that helps them make informed decisions about their health and lifestyle.
