  A veteran environmentalist shares her roadmap to a healthier world—one that uses the law to empower activists and provide hope for communities everywhere.
  We have reached a critical tipping point in our fight for the environment: Corporations profit off climate change, natural disasters devastate homes, and the most vulnerable suffer the health effects of pollution. Yet our laws are designed to accommodate this destruction rather than prevent it. Without government support, it's no wonder people feel powerless. But there is a solution.
  In The Green Amendment, veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum presents her radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions—to ensure we have the right to a healthy environment.
  Through compelling interviews with activists on the ground, clear evidence from experts, and heartbreaking stories from those hit hardest by environmental ruin, The Green Amendment lights the path forward. In this updated edition of her trailblazing 2017 book, van Rossum invites readers to join the movement by sharing:
  
  - Why Green Amendments work where other movements have failed
  - How to position Green Amendments and what specific language offers the strongest legal protections
  - How to argue in favor of environmental rights, and the economic and health benefits that will help activists make the case
  - How Green Amendments address the crucial intersection of environmentalism and anti-racism
  - What everyone—from artists and students to scientists and lawyer—can do to further the cause
  With the power of The Green Amendment, we can claim our environmental rights, ensuring a clean, safe Earth for generations to come.

  Ways to combat retraining depend on the algorithm and consist of the correct values of the trainer's met parameters. In practice, model estimation is not performed on the same input data that was used to train the model. Divide 10-20% of all available data into a separate set and call it a set for evaluation. We will bring the other 10-20% into the set for ratification, and 60-80% of the remaining ones will be given to the trainer. The principle of data sharing depends on the data and the task. Random sampling is often a good method if inputs are independent of each other, and there is no strong imbalance between the number of positive and negative entries. 
  The intuitive analogy here is the same as with university studies: the teacher solves some problems with students in pairs and gives other’s similar tasks in the exam. What is important here (both in teaching students and models) is that these tasks are varied, and students cannot simply memorize the answers, and those who have mastered the material (similar tasks) will be able to repeat the thought process and answer correctly. 
  In machine learning, we split into data two sets: we will use the evaluation set to evaluate each model we train, using different approaches, algorithms, and model types to select the best one. That is, for each model, we will have two precision values - precision on the training dataset and precision on the evaluation dataset. It is normal for the former to be higher than the second, but not significantly. A big difference indicates retraining.

  Surgical Techniques - From Basic...

  The practice of surgery is grounded in fundamental principles that ensure patient safety, procedural efficiency, and optimal outcomes. At the heart of surgical competence lies a thorough understanding of aseptic techniques, the correct use of surgical instruments, and comprehensive knowledge of human anatomy. These core components form the bedrock of every successful surgical procedure, regardless of its complexity or specialty. 
  Asepsis, or the absence of pathogenic microorganisms, is a critical concept in surgical practice. The development of aseptic techniques revolutionized surgery, dramatically reducing infection rates and improving survival outcomes. Maintaining a sterile environment involves multiple layers of precaution, starting with rigorous handwashing, proper surgical scrubbing, and the use of sterile gloves, gowns, and drapes. The operating room itself is a controlled environment where airflow systems, sterilized equipment, and strict protocols work together to minimize the risk of contamination. Every member of the surgical team plays a role in upholding these standards, as even a minor breach in sterile technique can lead to postoperative infections, delayed healing, and serious complications. 
  Equally important is the knowledge and precise handling of surgical instruments. Each instrument is designed for specific functions—cutting, clamping, retracting, or suturing—and understanding their proper use is vital for both efficiency and patient safety. Mastery of instruments such as scalpels, forceps, retractors, and needle holders allows the surgeon to perform procedures with accuracy and control. Proper instrument handling also reduces tissue trauma, minimizes bleeding, and helps maintain the sterile field. Additionally, the organization and preparation of surgical tools before, during, and after the procedure are key to smooth surgical workflows and quick response to intraoperative challenges.

  Orthopedics - Musculoskeletal...

  Orthopedics is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. These disorders affect the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, and can result from trauma, wear and tear, congenital conditions, or diseases. The field of orthopedics aims to restore function, reduce pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from musculoskeletal problems. Orthopedic care encompasses both surgical and non-surgical treatments, depending on the condition and the patient’s needs. 
  The role of an orthopedic surgeon extends beyond just performing surgeries. They play a crucial part in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions, creating treatment plans, and guiding patients through recovery. Orthopedic surgeons often collaborate with physical therapists, radiologists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care. They manage conditions ranging from acute fractures and dislocations to chronic disorders like arthritis and osteoporosis. Orthopedic surgeons also handle congenital deformities, sports injuries, and complex musculoskeletal trauma. Their expertise lies not only in performing surgeries such as joint replacements and spinal surgeries but also in using advanced diagnostic tools to assess conditions accurately. 
  The history of orthopedics dates back to ancient times when early physicians attempted to treat broken bones using splints and other rudimentary methods. Over the centuries, the field has evolved, incorporating advancements in medical science, technology, and surgical techniques. In the 19th century, orthopedics began to emerge as a distinct medical specialty, with pioneers such as Hugh Owen Thomas, often referred to as the “father of orthopedics,” contributing significantly to the development of orthopedic practices.
