  A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists 
  What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it. 
  Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family. 
  The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

  In the digital age, data reigns supreme. Yet, for many beginners, navigating the complex landscape of data management, manipulation, and application can be daunting. "Data-Oriented Programming for Beginners" is your compass in the vast world of data-centric development, offering a clear, accessible path to mastering the principles and practices that make data work for you. 
  This book demystifies the concept of Data-Oriented Programming (DOP), a paradigm that prioritizes data and its structure over the traditional focus on procedures and objects. With an emphasis on practical application, readers are guided through the core principles of DOP, including the crucial role of immutability, the separation of data and behavior, and the strategic design of data structures. 
  Through engaging explanations, hands-on examples, and real-world case studies, "Data-Oriented Programming for Beginners" equips you with the knowledge and skills to:Understand the nature and nuances of data in programmingLeverage functional programming languages and libraries for data manipulationDesign efficient, scalable data structures and schemasImplement data-oriented design patterns for robust application developmentNavigate the challenges of data integrity, security, and privacyScale and manage data-driven applications in complex systems 
  "Data-Oriented Programming for Beginners" is more than just a guide; it's a launchpad for harnessing the transformative power of data in your programming endeavors. Embrace the data-oriented approach and unlock new levels of efficiency, clarity, and performance in your software projects.

  One day Melody volunteered to help her lecturer monitor pods of river dolphins nearby. There for the first time she encountered Jock, a solitary dolphin with a maimed fin, who lived apart from the highly social pods. Melody was to form a bond with Jock that gave her the key to freeing herself from the demons of her own past, and their extraordinary friendship was the start of a long-term mission to try to save the river dolphins.

  Lyme Disease - Diagnosis...

  Lyme disease is an infectious illness primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, commonly known as the deer tick. The disease is named after Lyme, Connecticut, where the first recognized outbreak occurred in the 1970s. Since then, Lyme disease has become the most common vector-borne disease in the United States and many parts of the world, with cases steadily increasing due to expanding tick populations and climate changes. 
  The bacteria responsible for Lyme disease are typically introduced into the human bloodstream when an infected tick attaches itself to the skin and begins feeding. The early signs of Lyme disease can range from mild to severe and are often mistaken for other common illnesses. The most notable symptom is a circular, red rash, often described as a "bull's-eye," which can appear at the site of the tick bite. This rash, called erythema migrans, occurs in approximately 70-80% of patients and is considered a hallmark of early Lyme disease. However, not everyone with Lyme disease develops this rash, and other flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and headache may also appear. 
  If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress to more severe stages, where it may affect the joints, nervous system, and heart. In some cases, patients may experience chronic symptoms such as joint pain, neurological problems, and persistent fatigue, even after the initial infection has been treated. This stage is known as "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS), where symptoms can linger for months or even years.

  In Our Own Words - Nurses on the...

  'I proudly wear my badge as a Covid-19 front-line hero. I believe I was meant to be where I am during these trying times.'
  Our nurses have witnessed the pandemic first hand, compassionately caring for patients amid war-like circumstances.
  The havoc caused by the pandemic highlighted existing fault lines in the South African health system, and nurses faced shortages of staff and vital life-saving equipment. Colleagues tested positive and died. Visitors were not allowed, so nurses had to be intermediaries between patients and desperate family trying to glean information on the phone. Despite these pressures, they remained at the forefront of the fight against the deadly virus.
  This book brings together deeply personal stories of caring for patients in wards and ICU, of feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing the fear of getting infected and passing Covid on to their families. There are also moving tales of personal growth and finding renewed purpose. In Our Own Words shows the extreme resilience of nurses – even in the face of adversity. And that at the core of a 'true' nurse remains the commitment to the patient.
  'A powerful and moving account from the coalface of the Covid-19 response – this is a must read!' – Salim Abdool Karim
