  On the 23rd of May 2019, Hakan Bulgurlu became one of the fortunate few to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. To stand on top of the world’s highest mountain is a humbling experience, to bear witness to nature at its most awe-inspiring and powerful is even more humbling. Bulgurlu’s quest to climb Everest came with a purpose: making the environment the centre of his ambition to highlight the catastrophic effect climate change is having on our planet, to lead by example and to seek out practical solutions. He wanted to use the expedition as a wake-up call to what we are doing to the natural world.  
  In his powerful new book, Bulgurlu tells the fascinating story of this adventure of a lifetime, harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure. He delves into the roots of the environmental crisis we find ourselves in, speaking to climate activists and campaigners, biologists, scientists, filmmakers, academics, economists, entrepreneurs, global leaders and innovators. They help shed light on the issues that we face and the solutions that will help secure a better future for generations to come. In this gripping account of his journey, Bulgurlu describes the challenges he faced in reaching the summit, and the challenges we all face in protecting the planet and the future of humanity.

  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.

  Machine Learning with Python -...

  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.

  Skyway - The True Story of Tampa...

  On the morning of May 9, 1980, harbor pilot John Lerro was guiding a 600-foot freighter, the Summit Venture, into Tampa Bay. Directly in the ship's path was the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Suddenly, a violent weather cell reduced visibility to zero at the precise moment when Lerro attempted to direct the 20,000-ton vessel underneath the bridge. Unable to stop or see where he was going, Lerro drove the ship into a support pier. 
   
   
   
  Skyway tells the entire story of this horrific event, from the circumstances that led up to it through the years-long legal proceedings. Bill DeYoung pieces together the harrowing moments of the collision, including the accounts of witnesses and survivors. 
   
   
   
  Among those whose lives were changed forever was Wesley MacIntire, the motorist whose truck ricocheted off the hull of the Summit Venture and sank. The lone survivor, MacIntire, like Lerro, was emotionally scarred and remained haunted by the tragedy for the rest of his life. 
   
   
   
  DeYoung offers a history of the ill-fated bridge, from its construction in 1954, through the addition of a second parallel span in 1971, to its eventual replacement. The result is a detailed portrait of the rise and fall of a Florida landmark.
