  Mysterious Ball Lightning - Also...

  Ball Lightning is a phenomena which definitely exists. One European study counted over 5,000 sightings of these weird balls. 
  It also seems to be similar to old tales of the “Will O the Wisp” and World War Two Foo Fighters. 
  St. Elmos Fire also has similar observations so data on this phenomenon are included too. 
  There are many potential explanations but none are confirmed. Although most seem to appear around thunderstorms this is not always the case. 
  My own belief is that these objects are controlled by some type of intelligence and we will discuss reasons for this later in the book. 
  In this book you will read a lot of background information and sightings stories by persons for the last hundreds of years. 
  This is just another mystery in our strange world which cries out for more investigation.

  Power Cell Secrets - The...

  The journey toward modern power cell technology began with a simple, yet profound, question: How could we store energy efficiently for future use? Early efforts to store and harness energy date back to the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 20th century that the foundations for power cells—an essential part of our energy storage systems—were truly laid. 
  In the 1950s, the advent of the first rechargeable batteries marked a critical turning point. While earlier technologies had focused on single-use solutions, the development of rechargeable batteries, such as the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, offered a glimpse into the potential for sustainable energy storage. Scientists, engineers, and inventors sought to solve the problem of storing energy in a way that was both compact and reliable, an issue that had long hampered the efficiency of early electrical systems. 
  The early breakthroughs were just the beginning. As the world began to recognize the importance of renewable energy sources—wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—the need for effective energy storage became even more pressing. Renewable energy production, often intermittent, required reliable methods to store excess energy for times when generation was low. This gave rise to research into more efficient and sustainable battery technologies, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in energy storage.

  He had science and an Ivy League pedigree―why did he need God? Immersed in his physics studies at Cornell, Tom Rudelius never thought much about God until his brother, a new convert to Christianity, challenged him to explore faith. To placate his twin, he reluctantly began exploring the Bible and the life of Jesus. Seeking proof of God’s existence, he found himself in a world of uncertainty, faced with plenty of reasons for both faith and doubt.In Chasing Proof, Finding Faith, Tom, now a rising young theoretical physicist, traces his journey to unexpected faith, through subsequent doubt and anxiety, and ultimately to a firmer, life-transforming allegiance to Jesus. Along the way, he explores some of the issues he wrestled with, includingCreation and cosmic originsThe problem of evil and sufferingThe compatibility of miracles with science and the plausibility of Jesus’ resurrectionThe reliability of the BibleWhile Tom never found absolute proof of God or Christianity, he ultimately concluded that the existing evidence for both is compelling and compatible with science. His searingly honest story is a potent guide for those doubting or exploring faith.

  The Geometry of Change

  The Geometry of Change is a field guide to building models that are both honest about complexity and useful in practice. It connects three pillars—how systems work (mechanisms), how we encode them (models), and how we learn from the world (measurement)—into a coherent workflow for decision-making. Beginning with why we model at all, it explores growth patterns and limits, stochasticity and structure, interactions and spread, spatial and metapopulation thinking, and the challenges of fitting parameters from real data. It then turns to interpreting signals—trends, cycles, and regimes—showing how to separate what persists from what repeats and what truly changes the rules. Throughout, it emphasizes calibration, uncertainty, fairness, and governance, translating technical craft into operational playbooks and ethics-aware practices. The result is a practical, human-centered approach to turning data into insight, and insight into action, across ecological, urban, digital, and organizational systems.

  53% of CPHQ candidates fail the exam. Here’s what successful test-takers do differently. 
  While mastering all the essential concepts and topics can certainly improve your chances of earning your certification, passing the CPHQ has less to do with what you know or even how you apply what you know… 
    
  … and more to do with your overall approach to taking the exam itself. Because the chief difference between those who pass and those who fail comes down to the strategies they use to “beat” the CPHQ exam. 
    
  That’s where this book can help. 
    
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
    
  ●     An easy-to-remember 6-point process for systematically picking apart each question on the CPHQ exam 
  ●     What to do if you don’t end up passing the CPHQ on your first try — and exactly how long this can end up delaying your certification 
  ●     Which type of question makes up more than half of all questions on the exam, and the subtle differences between each type 
  ●     2 full-length practice tests, each with 125 unique questions and detailed explanations to help you identify any knowledge gaps to focus on 
    
  And much more! 
    
  With the 2 full-length practice tests included, you’ll get to simulate the actual testing experience and spot opportunities to improve your score. 
    
  So when the big day rolls around, you’ll be confidently armed with the knowledge, skills, and – more importantly – the strategies needed to pass the CPHQ. 
    
  Become a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality.
