Price Comparisons – Which One is Cheaper?
Finding the right radio-controlled car can be quite a chore. It gets tricky at the beginning because there is tons of jargon and terms that they need to understand and differentiate between. Some of the most frequent terms used on these RC cars are nitro and electric.
So, what are the differences between these two types of vehicles? This article seeks to clarify the confusion, and hopefully, by reading this article until the end, you will be able to separate between nitro vs electric RC cars and choose the one that suits well with your driving needs and budgets.
When it comes to the physical appearance, there is not much to debate because frankly speaking; they look very much alike. However, upon further inspection, there are several ways to differentiate between the two.
For example, you can take a look at the types of motors and chassis.
Electric RC cars use a battery as the power source. The nitro RC cars, on the other hand, make use of fuel, which typically contains nitromethane. This is very similar to the gasoline engine used on our real cars.
Despite the similarity, nitro cars should not be confused with gas-powered RC cars. They are different in a way that the gas-powered models use gasoline instead of nitro fuel. They normally come in larger sizes and not as popular as electric or nitro models.
Electric cars offer two types of motors – brushed and brushless. The brushed motors are mostly used in toy-grade RC cars. They can also be found on several hobby-grade models.
Brushed motors contain small contact brushes that allow the motor to spin. They come in two variations – fixed and non-fixed. The fixed brushed motor cannot be modified whereas the non-fixed brushed motor can be tuned up to a certain level.
The brushed motor comes with a limitation. It has more friction and produces more heat. These two aspects can affect the motor performance significantly.
The better option is the brushless motor because it is more powerful. That is the reason why it is preferred by most professional racers these days. It is more powerful as it does not have any contact brushes.
The voltage is relatively higher, which results in a faster speed – not only can it beat brushed motor but also nitro engine!
Nitro engine contains more complicated components such as air filters, carburetors, clutches, glow plugs, pistons, crankshafts, and flywheels. There are also fuel tank and exhaust that creates a complete fuel system.
Unlike electric motor, the nitro engine is more efficient in circulating heat. The head heat sink is responsible for dissipating the heat from the engine.
Electric cars come in two types of chassis – plastic and metal. Toy-grades cars normally use a plastic material as it is cheaper and readily available.
Carbon fiber chassis is widely found on hobby-grade cars as it provides more strength. They are both lightweight and easy to replace.
Nitro engine emits lots of heats so plastic is not ideal for this type of car. Metal chassis is more preferred as it acts as an efficient heat dissipator.
Same goes with the drivetrain component. It is metal on nitro and mostly plastic on electric cars.
Now that I have learned a thing or two about the physical differences between these two types of RC cars let us now focus on other aspects of the vehicles such as the speed performance, durability, level of maintenance and ease of use.
I will also compare the prices at the end of this article.
In general, nitro RC cars are ideal for intermediate and advanced users who love to overhaul and tweak their vehicle. It requires the use of fuel and some oil combination for the engine. Experienced hobbyists find great satisfaction in tinkering with nitro motors.
They enjoy fine-tuning the engine to transform their ride into its fullest potential. Even turning on the power requires some skills from the users. There are multiple ways to start the nitro engine, and you will need additional parts to do so. For electric cars, a flip of a switch will do it. For some, it may sound like a con, but for true fans, this tinkering ability is very much fulfilling!
Another advantage of the nitro models is the loud sound of the engine. You can truly feel the thrill and excitement as the car speeds up on the track and its engine roars. With the fuel-based power, it provides longer run time.
You can drive the cars for 30 to 45 minutes before a refill. Unlike electric RC cars, there is no waiting for battery charging. Fill in the gas, which takes seconds, and you are good to go for another round of race.
One of the major advantages of this type of remote-controlled vehicle is the lifelike driving experience that it provides. Most avid racers love this aspect of nitro cars.
These cars run on fuel, just like real cars. They also produce exhaust fumes and exhilarating acceleration sound. This is not something that you can get out of the electric cars.
Electric RC cars are more beginners friendly. It does not require any major tuning or time-consuming setup. Those who have just entered this new hobby field do not have to worry about not having mechanical skills. You simply have to charge the battery and how hard can charging be? Once the battery is on the full juice, you are ready to go!
Maintenance wise, it is also fairly simple to maintain. If you buy models from established brand, little can go wrong with the electrical system.
The only repair that you might need to do is when you break any of the suspension-related parts, its chassis, transmission, or steering components.
Besides durability, most of the electric cars these days are classified as waterproof. Therefore, the fun is limitless. You can drive it on a snow-covered field or under the rain. You can rely on it to withstand the moist and wet condition.
Electric radio-controlled cars are also cleaner and quite. If you live in an area where neighbors live on top of each other, you are better off with this type of RC car.
Nitro models can be quite loud and let's just say your neighbor, Mike, might found the engine sound disturbing.
When it comes to the speed, high-spec electric cars are faster than nitro. The performance of electric cars used to be quite bad in the early days compared to nitro cars.
However, these days, advanced specs like LiPo batteries and brushless motors have helped to provide longer run time and speed power. There are certain models of electric cars that can reach up to 100mph like the fierce-looking and stylish Traxxas XO-1 Supercar!
One of the cons of nitro RC cars that we should all consider is the cost of owning one – the price can get higher as the time passes. You will need to purchase fuel after fuel to keep it running.
Well, it is about $20 to $25 for each quart of nitro fuel. With electric cars, you simply need to purchase LiPo or NiMH batteries, and that is it. While you will have to eventually replace the batteries, each one last significantly longer than a quart of nitro fuel.
Nitro models also require lots of tender, love, and care after each racing session. You will need to clean the engine and the inner compartment as it can get quite dirty.
You will also need to drain the fuel tank, clean the air filter and add after-burn oil to keep it in good condition. Electric cars are cleaner and it does not require much of your time.
Plus, for one to be able to maintain the nitro cars, some mechanical knowledge are necessary. You will also need to learn how to maintain the car regularly.
The glow plugs will need to be replaced every now and then, and the fuel system needs to be checked periodically. Since the engine uses a liquid, there are several "don'ts" with this car. One of them is: do not store the car upside down.
It can cause an oil leakage, which consequently damages your internal system.
Furthermore, most of the nitro cars are not waterproof. They are sensitive to water, so splashing it into a big puddle is a big no-no.
Of course, the electric cars are not perfect. It also comes with its own sets of drawbacks. The first con is the charging time. While it does not have any setup hassle, you will still need to spend some time to charge the battery and it requires patience – up to 45 minutes or an hour.
Furthermore, the driving duration is also quite limited. After 15 to 25minutes, you will need to charge it again – which takes another hour!
If you would like to enjoy a nonstop race, you will need to purchase extra batteries and charge them as backups, which brings us to the next point – additional cost of batteries.
Electric batteries can be quite expensive. A high-quality LiPo battery can cost more than $50. For example, you can expect to pay $55 for Traxxas 2872X 5000mAh and if you need more power, the Traxxas 7600mAh cell LiPo battery can give you just that at a cost of $71.
Even though I know electric cars are more durable and hard to break, major crashes can still cost a fortune. If something happens to the electrical system, you should be ready to spend big bucks to fix it.
Plus, the diagnosing process on electrical problems is far more complex and the repairs and part replacement can be more expensive compared to nitro cars.
There is no direct answer for this question because there are two types of prices involved – purchasing price and maintenance cost.
While the starting price of a nitro car is relatively lower, an electric car can be quite costly especially the ones with brushless motors. Plus, there are also the costs of fuels and batteries as they are normally sold separately.
For comparison sake, let us take two similar models from Traxxas – The Rustlers. The Nitro Rustler 1/10 Scale 2WD Stadium Truck offers up to 50mph at a price of about $350 whereas the electric version of it, Rustler 37054-1 1/10-Scale 2WD Stadium Truck is only $200.
This particular electric car has a maximum speed of 35mph. Another version that I should put into comparison is the Traxxas Rustler VXL that uses a brushless motor and this model comes with a premium price of $350. The speed of this monster is 70mph!
As you can see, the starting prices are very much different depending on the specs of the models. Plus, there are also some additional costs to consider.
For example, the Nitro Rustler requires an extra of $50 for the fuel and transmitter batteries. For the Rustler 37054-1, you can boost up the speed up to 65mph by purchasing better batteries and gears, which can cost up to an additional $100 and more.
Nevertheless, be rest assured that just like any other products, you will get quality and better experience with the price that you pay; the higher the cost, the better the quality. Plus, you can also expect that as the technology progresses, you will see better deals and lower prices.
If I was to choose one myself, I would choose electric cars over nitro any day of the week.
This is simply because they are much easier to drive (plug-and-play), have a lower long-term maintenance cost, more waterproof, clean and quiet.
Plus, they offer faster speed with reasonable upgrades.
However, on the days when you feel like hearing a loud engine sound or brushing up our mechanical skills, I would pick nitro models as the cars can easily fulfill these needs of ours!
This is wrong. Lithium battery has limited number of charge-discharge cycles.
It degrades significantly after 100-300 cycles. Faster charging, shorter lifetime.
Also, one can easily damage battery with wrong programming of charger or ESC.
Than, it's mechanically weak part, and may catch serious fire being damaged in a crash.
Last, but not least, RC-spec Li battery can't be disposed as usual household trash, and even can't be transported by airline without special precautions and paperwork.
Thanks for pointing that out Pavel! You're right, and I fixed it.
hey mark, so ive played with rc cars all my life and was wondering what would you recommend? i live where there are neighbors all around me but i want something fast and affordable. i love to customize and build things. and i am mechanically inclined. ive been looking at a traxxas 4×4 slash, and was just wondering what you would suggest?
Hey Blaine! If you have neighbors all around you, then I'd definitely stick with an electric car over a nitro one. The 4×4 Slash is a great truck that you can't go wrong with. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with anything made by Traxxas. I would just stay away from the X-maxx since it is so big. Redcat Racing also makes some decent trucks (Definitely not as high as quality as Traxxas, but much more affordable). The Volcano is a good one. Let me know if you have any specific questions, since I kind of just gave you a broad answer!
Redcat cars look nice but I don't think I would trust them just yet. They are still a relatively young brand trying to make a name for themselves. Also I haven't heard a lot of good things about their RC's just that they are decent and good for beginners.
I know that just like the fuel you choose for your machine the scale is also a personal preference .That being said I am a retired mechanic and I am just looking into the RC world .As a beginner knowing that it isn't going to take me long before I want faster and better I was thinking of starting with a brushless electric motor but what scale would you suggest? It is really tempting to just start out with the biggest and the baddest. If I did that would I be missing out on good experience and knowledge I would gain from starting out more basic and slowly working my way up?
Good Write up. I appreciate the input addressing both types without bias.
Hi, Mark so this I might go for a RC but don't know what I should start with I like tinkering but sometimes I just leave stuff and never finish building it or play with this again.
Hey Mike, what's your budget? Most RC Cars come ready-to-run out of the box, which means you don't have to put anything together. The name brand RC's like Traxxas also have lots of after-market parts and other accessories you can add on to or modify.
Hey Mark! Thank you for all the information. I am looking to get started in the RC truck world and am looking for some advice. I'm pretty sure I want electric and 1/10 scale. My budget is less than 300. Any particular truck I should look at?
Hey Lane, glad to hear it! You can't go wrong with any of the Traxxas trucks… The 2WD Slash is probably your best bet for that price range.

With lease agreements anywhere between 6-12 months, rental houses also afford occupants the option to move after the agreement is up, with no need to get a hold of another person to replace them. Not to mention, residents also pretty much never have to try and do any type of maintenance and repairs. Every lease document really needs to be studied with care though so that you know each and every detail, but usually, the landlord is going to be the person bound by law to take care of heating, A/C, or other appliance issues, many times even have the yard mowed, and so forth.
In Sodus Point, houses for rent are seen mostly in outer-lying regions, instead of downtown. Even so, you might be able to get a really nice house downtown, supposing you are ok with putting in a little bit of additional time and energy.

Don't Let a Beliefs Fear Keep You From Living Your Life.
Does beliefs fear have a serious impact on your life? It may not seem possible, but after more than a decade working with the most severe fears and phobias we know that – for anyone who is determined – beliefs fear can always be overcome.
The core of the problem is that your unconscious mind is repeating patterns of thinking that generate the fear… and now its time to change things up so those patterns don't run any more. On the surface, you know that this business with opinions or beliefs doesn't make sense. The reason the fear continues is because the subconscious has connected it to a wave of dominant negative feelings which occur automatically when you even think of opinions or beliefs.
You can use our two minute Beliefs Fear Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
Does the thought of Opinions Or Beliefs make you nauseous?
These are only a few examples of the things one can feel. Click here to learn more about the symptoms of beliefs fear.
We feel drugs and medication for Beliefs Fear aren't the best approach, but make sure you always follow a doctor's advice when taking or stopping any prescription. Drugs may produce a short-term improvement by masking symptoms, but they never tackle the core problem of the overwhelming automatic fear response to opinions or beliefs.
There is no drug specifically for Beliefs Fear – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with our program, your Beliefs Fear will be history, without resorting to meds..
1: beliefs fear: a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of opinions or beliefs, despite conscious understanding by the phobic individual and reassurance by others that there is no danger. 2: beliefs fear: an extreme unwarranted fear and/or physical aversion to opinions or beliefs.


Basic concept of session- store some data of client temporarily which should be available until client destroy it.
Session management definition- It's a mechanism used by web container to save state of client.
-Returns existing session object else creates new session object.
-Always returns existing session object.
-Always creates new session object.
Example 7- Wep app to create session at correct login, get session data from at profile page, and then logout to delete session.
-It stores textual data at client side.
Example 8- Wep app to create cookie and add into browser at correct login, get cookies data from at profile page, and then logout to delete cookie.
Example 9- Web app to add data with url and get it on next servlet.
Step3- get value of input box on next servlet.
Example 10- Wep app get data from hidden input box on next servlet.

Q: Htaccess or html: redirect to a rewritten URL [Heavily edited]
I currently have access restricted using .htaccess files via: AuthName; AuthUserFile and AuthGroup directives.
I am hoping to have a 'user redirect' page protected by htaccess, which when prompted for login credentials initiates a redirect to the users area via the .htaccess file. Each user area contains different content in it's own directory so i would need to rewrite the username to the end of the url.
For example:
From:

https:// www.domain.com/index.html

To:

https:// www.domain.com/{user1}/index.html for user1

Or:

https:// www.domain.com/{user2}/index.html for user2

So far this is the best i have jumbled together via extrapolation:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1!^user1/
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user1$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https:// www.domain.com/user1/$1 [L]
RewriteCond $1!^user2/
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} ^user2$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https:// www.domain.com/user2/$1 [L]

or possibly
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/.+/
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_USER} (.+)
RewriteRule (.*) /%1/$1 [L,R=302]

Are either correct and/or is there a better way to do it? It would be good to not have to add lines for each user
NOTE/EDIT: Php is a bit complicated for me at present. Query about php now removed.
Cheers.

A: This is a very (I do mean very) basic (and truncated) general workflow of a login situation. If you don't know PHP (which it sounds like you don't) it's going to be near impossible to do this by yourself as a "I-think-I'll-take-a-crack-at-this" plan. You may want to try a ready-made solution like Wordpress.
login.php
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Login page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form method="POST" action="process.php">
            User: <input type="text" name="username" value="" />
            Pass: <input type="password" name="password" value="" />
            <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

process.php
session_start();
// Add whatever your database connection is...this is a PDO example...
include_once('database.config.php');
if(isset($_POST['username'])) {

    // absurdly-simplified validation...
    $username = (!empty($_POST['username']))? $_POST['username']:false;
    $password = (!empty($_POST['password']))? $_POST['password']:false;

    // If validate input is good
    if($username != false && $password != false) {
            // Encrypt password however it's stored in your db
            $password = whatever_encrypt_thing($password);

            // Do a call to your database
            $query = $con->prepare("select * from users where username = :username and password = :password");
            $query->execute(array(':username'=>$username,':password'=>$password));
            // etc...do code to validate user and assign $_SESSION stuff.
            // Lets pretend $valid is the final return...

            if($valid == true)
                // Redirect to success page where each user gets their links
                header('Location: success.php');
            // Stop script from further processing.
            exit;
        }
}

// Redirect to login
header('Location: login.php?error=login');

A: You don't typically want to use the form's action = "" method for re-directing the user. The action method is used to decide where the form's values (stored in the $_POST or $_GET arrays depending on your form's method) is sent for validation, processing or whatever else you want to do with it. The validation, processing, or whatever-else-you-want-to-do-with-it page would then hold the redirection requests (typically using the header() function) if your code requires it. @Rasclatt posted a very good example of such code.
Just to give you another example, this is a pseudo-code version of how the code may look.  @Rasclatt's answer is more detailed in terms of what you would do with your database. Functions similar to his would be used for the userHasRegisteredEmail() and userHasMatchingPasswords() functions below. The following is a form that allows users to login by sending the script back to the page that contains the form.
<?php
session_start();
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

//Connect to database
try {
    $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=myDB", $username, $password);
    // set the PDO error mode to exception only for development mode
    $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    }
catch(PDOException $e)
    {
    echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
    }

//Checks the $_POST array to see if it contains 'submit'. If so, you know the form was submitted
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

    //Declare variables and reset Form Values
    $email = $password = null;

    //Store form values. Trim() is used to erase excess whitespace in form values.
    $email = trim($_POST['email']);
    $password = trim($_POST['password']);

    //You can add some validation here if you'd like.

    //Process Form Values
    if (userHasRegisteredEmail() && userHasMatchingPassword()) {
          logUserIn();
          header('location: user-profile.php'); //REDIRECT USER TO PROFILE PAGE
          exit(); //Ensures that the rest of the script isn't run after redirection
    } else {
          showUserLogInError();
    }
}
?>

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Login page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        //Leaving form's action empty, i.e. action="", will send the form values back to the current page
        <form method="POST" action="">
            User: <input type="text" name="username" value="" />
            Pass: <input type="password" name="password" value="" />
            <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
        </form>
    </body>

I hope this helps. Also, things like this are a breeze with php and PHPAcademy's youtube videos have some awesome tutorials. I hope this helps. Cheers

Medical_sign
Medical sign
Simply, a sign is an indication of some fact or quality; and, in everyday English, a medical sign is an "objective" indication of some medical fact or quality that is detected by a physician during a physical examination of a patient—such as elevated blood pressure, or a clubbing of the fingers (which may be a sign of lung disease, or many other things), or arcus senilis.
Thus, by this definition, signs are different from symptoms: the "subjective" experiences, such as the fatigue, that patients might report to their examining physician. The term sign is also not to be confused with the term indication, which denotes a valid reason for using some treatment.
There is a strong implication that the signs have no meaning for a patient, and may not even be noticed by them; yet they are full of meaning for the physician, and are often significant in assisting a physician to identify the disease(s) responsible for the patient's symptoms.
The art of interpreting clinical signs was originally called semiotics in English. This term, then spelt semeiotics (derived from the Greek adjective σημειοτικός: semeiotikos, "to do with signs"), was first used in English in 1670 by Henry Stubbes (1631-1676), to denote the branch of medical science relating to the interpretation of signs:[1]
…nor is there any thing to be relied upon in Physick, but an exact knowledge of medicinal phisiology (founded on observation, not principles), semeiotics, method of curing, and tried (not excogitated, not commanding) medicines…[2]
A number of medical signs are named after the doctors who first described them.[3]
1 Signs versus symptoms
2 Types of signs
3 Technological development creating signs detectable only by physicians
4 Signs as tests
5 Examples of signs
Signs versus symptoms
Signs are commonly distinguished from symptoms as follows: a symptom is something abnormal, that is relevant to disease, experienced by a patient, whilst a sign is something abnormal, that is relevant to disease, discovered by the physician during his examination of the patient:
…a sign is an objective symptom of a disease; a symptom is a subjective sign of disease.[4]
According to King, it is an essential feature of a sign that there is both a sign and a thing signified. And, because "the essence of a sign is to convey information", it can only be a sign if it has meaning. Therefore, "a sign ceases to be a sign when you cannot read it".[5]

Medical signs may be classified by the type of inference that may be made from their presence,[6] for example:
Prognostic signs (from progignṓskein, προγιγνώσκειν, "to know beforehand"): signs that indicate the outcome of the current bodily state of the patient (i.e., rather than indicating the name of the disease). Prognostic signs always point to the future.[7]
Anamnestic signs (from anamnēstikós, ἀναμνηστικός, "able to recall to mind"): signs that (taking into account the current state of a patient's body), indicate the past existence of a certain disease or condition. Anamnestic signs always point to the past.[8]
Diagnostic signs (from diagnōstikós, διαγνωστικός, "able to distinguish"): signs that lead to the recognition and identification of a disease (i.e., they indicate the name of the disease).
Pathognomonic signs (from pathognomonikós, παθογνωμονικός, "skilled in diagnosis", derived from páthos, πάθος, "suffering, disease", and gnṓmon, γνώμον, "judge, indicator"): the particular signs whose presence means, beyond any doubt, that a particular disease is present. They represent a marked intensification of a diagnostic sign.[9] Singular pathognonomic signs are relatively uncommon.
[Thus] a symptom is a phenomenon, caused by an illness and observable directly in experience. We may speak of it as a manifestation of illness. When the observer reflects on that phenomenon and uses it as a base for further inferences, then that symptom is transformed into a sign. As a sign it points beyond itself — perhaps to the present illness, or to the past or to the future. That to which a sign points is part of its meaning, which may be rich and complex, or scanty, or any gradation in between.
In medicine, then, a sign is thus a phenomenon from which we may get a message, a message that tells us something about the patient or the disease. A phenomenon or observation that does not convey a message is not a sign. The distinction between signs and symptom rests on the meaning, and this is not perceived but inferred. (King, 1982, p.81)
Technological development creating signs detectable only by physicians
Prior to the nineteenth century there was little difference between physician and patient. Most medical practice was conducted as a joint co-operative interaction between the physician and the patient as equals.[10] Whilst each noticed much the same things, the physician had a more informed interpretation of those things: "the physicians knew what the findings meant and the layman did not".[11]
However, the patient was gradually removed from the medical interaction[12] due to significant technological advances such as:
the 1808 introduction of the percussion technique.[13] The techniques, which had been first described by the Viennese physician Leopold Auenbrugger (1722-1809) in 1761, became far more widely known following the publication of Corvisart's translation of Auenbrugger's work in 1808.
the 1819 introduction of the technique of auscultation,[14] following the 1819 publication of René Théophile Hyacinthe Laënnec's (1781-1826) findings on the use of his modified stethoscope.[15]
The 1846 introduction by surgeon John Hutchinson (1811-1861) of the spirometer, an apparatus for assessing the mechanical properties of the lungs per medium of measurements of forced exhalation and forced inhalation.[16]
The 1851 invention, by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894), of the opthalmoscope, which allowed physicians to examine the inside of the human eye.
the 1895 clinical use of X-rays which began almost immediately after they had been discovered that year by the German Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845-1923).
the 1896 introduction of the sphygmomanometer, designed by Italian Scipione Riva-Rocci (1863-1937), to measure blood pressure.
The introduction of the techniques of percussion and auscultation into medical practice immediately altered the relationship between physician and patient in a very significant way, specifically because these techniques relied almost entirely upon the physician listening.[17]
Not only did this greatly reduce the patient's capacity to observe and contribute to the process of diagnosis, it also meant that the patient was often instructed to stop talking, and remain silent.
As these sorts of evolutionary changes continued to take place in medical practice, it was increasingly necessary to uniquely identify data that was accessible only to the physician, and to be able to differentiate those observations from others that were also available to the patient, and it just seemed natural to use "signs" for the class of physician-specific data, and "symptoms" for the class of observations available to the patient.
King proposes a more advanced notion; namely, that a sign is something that has meaning, regardless of whether it is observed by the physician or reported by the patient:
The belief that a symptom is a subjective report of the patient, while a sign is something that the physician elicits, is a 20th-century product that contravenes the usage of two thousand years of medicine. In practice, now as always, the physician makes his judgments from the information that he gathers. The modern usage of signs and symptoms emphasizes merely the source of the information, which is not really too important. Far more important is the use that the information serves. If the data, however derived, lead to some inferences and go beyond themselves, those data are signs. If, however, the data remain as mere observations without interpretation, they are symptoms, regardless of their source. Symptoms become signs when they lead to an interpretation. The distinction between information and inference underlies all medical thinking and should be preserved.[18]
Signs as tests
In some senses, the process of diagnosis is always a matter of assessing the likelihood that a given condition is present in the patient. In a patient who presents with haemoptysis (coughing up blood), the haemoptysis is very much more likely to be caused by respiratory disease than by the patient having broken their toe. Each question in the history taking allows the medical practitioner to narrow down their view of the cause of the symptom, testing and building up their hypotheses as they go along.
Examination, which is essentially looking for clinical signs, allows the medical practitioner to see if there is evidence in the patient's body to support their hypotheses about the disease that might be present.
A patient who has given a good story to support a diagnosis of tuberculosis might be found, on examination, to show signs that lead the practitioner away from that diagnosis and more towards sarcoidosis, for example. Examination for signs tests the practitioner's hypotheses, and each time a sign is found that supports a given diagnosis, that diagnosis becomes more likely.
Special tests (blood tests, radiology, scans, a biopsy, etc.) also allow a hypothesis to be tested. These special tests are also said to show signs in a clinical sense. Again, a test can be considered pathognonomic for a given disease, but in that case the test is generally said to be "diagnostic" of that disease rather than pathognonomic. An example would be a history of a fall from a height, followed by a lot of pain in the leg. The signs (a swollen, tender, distorted lower leg) are only very strongly suggestive of a fracture; it might not actually be broken, and even if it is, the particular kind of fracture and its degree of dislocation need to be known, so the practitioner orders an x-ray. The x-ray film shows a fractured tibia, so the film is said to be diagnostic of the fracture.
Examples of signs
Ascites (fluid in the abdomen)
Cachexia (loss of weight, muscle atrophy)
Caput medusae (dilated umbilical veins)
Clubbing (deformed nails)
Death rattle (last moments of life in a person/animal)
Gynecomastia (excessive breast tissue in males)
Hemoptysis (blood-stained sputum)
Hepatosplenomegaly (enlarged liver and spleen)
Icterus ("jaundice")
Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes)
Palmar erythema (reddening of hands)
Splenomegaly (enlarged spleen)
Pathognomonic
List of eponymous medical signs
Radiologic sign
^ John Locke (1632-1704), also used the term semeiotics in Book 4, Chapter XXI ("Of the Division of the Sciences") of his (1690) work, "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding". In part 1, he explains how science can be divided into three parts:
All that can fall within the compass of human understanding, being either, first, the nature of things, as they are in themselves, their relations, and their manner of operation: or, secondly, that which man himself ought to do, as a rational and voluntary agent, for the attainment of any end, especially happiness: or, thirdly, the ways and means whereby the knowledge of both the one and the other of these is attained and communicated; I think science may be divided properly into these three sorts. (Locke, 1823/1963, p.174).
Locke then elaborates further, in 4.XXI.4, upon the nature of this third category, labelling it, in Greek, as Σημειωικη (Semeiotike), and explaining it to mean, in his usage, "the doctrine of signs" (Locke, 1823/1963, p.175).

^ Perhaps the most famous prognostic sign is the facies Hippocratica.
[If the patient's facial] appearance may be described thus: the nose sharp, the eyes sunken, the temples fallen in, the ears cold and drawn in and their lobes distorted, the skin of the face hard, stretched and dry, and the colour of the face pale or dusky.… and if there is no improvement within [a prescribed period of time], it must be realized that this sign portends death.(Chadwick & Mann, 1978, p.170-171)
^ Whenever we see a man walking with a particular gait, with one arm paralysed in a particular way, we say "This man has had a stroke"; and, if we see a woman in her late 50s with one arm distorted in a particular way, we say "She had polio as a child".
^ An example would be the palmar xanthomata seen on the hands of people suffering from hyperlipoproteinaemia.

^ The process through which "the physician can assess the state of the underlying lung by sensing the character of vibrations by gentle taps on the chest wall […something which…] greatly facilitated the diagnosis of pneumonia and other respiratory diseases" (Weatherall, 1994, p.46)
^ The process of listening to sounds of the heart, lungs, etc.
^ He had invented a very crude form of stethoscope in 1816; but it was his subsequent modification of that later stethoscope that was the subject of his 1819 publication. Laënnec's 1819 publication was Forbes translated into English in four editions between 1821 and 1834 by Sir John Forbes (1787-1861).
^ The recorded lung volumes and air flow rates are used to distinguish between restrictive disease (in which the lung volumes are decreased: e.g., cystic fibrosis) and obstructive diseases (in which the lung volume is normal but the air flow rate is impeded; e.g., emphysema).
^ King (1982, p.83) observes that the introduction of the stethoscope did not immediately revolutionize medicine; because, although the physicians could certainly hear some thing via these techniques, they had no idea whatsoever of what those particular sounds, in those particular rhythms, in those particular combinations actually meant. In other words, although they certainly were being bombarded with noises, they were noises that signified nothing at all.

Success equals support?
August 21, 2019 Sports
Hanna Cooper
Troy's women's basketball team has ranked in the top four in Sun Belt Conference standings for five consecutive seasons, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 2016 and 2017. However, many students and fans don't view the sport as worth attending.
While student attendance was up 400% from previous seasons, free Chick-fil-A sandwiches, dollar hot dogs and bringing Santa into Trojan Arena should not be the reason that fans finally decide to come to a game.
The general excuses fans use when deciding not to come to women's basketball game include the notion that women's basketball is a slow sport, the team is not as good as the men, or the lack of dunking makes it less entertaining.
A little research and a quick stop by Trojan Arena would reveal some shocking discoveries.
Heading into the conference tournament last season, Troy lead the Sun Belt Conference in 11 statistical categories (also ranked nationally in many of these categories). This included scoring offense, 3-pointers, rebounds, rebounds per game, steals per game and turnovers forced.
The Troy women's team has posted better records than the men's team for six consecutive seasons.
Despite the lack of dunking, the Trojans upset Ole Miss, beat the preseason favorite Little Rock inside of Trojan Arena, toppled in-state rival Alabama State by 70 points and took revenge on rival South Alabama; they have been an exciting team to watch.
Because of the women's basketball team's success, the postseason play was brought to Troy for the first time in program history when the Trojan's hosted UAB in the first round of the WNIT. The accomplishments of this team have gone largely unnoticed because of false notions about women's basketball as a whole.
This season, the Trojans host key conference matchups with Little Rock, Appalachian State and South Alabama all making trips to Trojan Arena. If you are looking for some entertainment, a women's basketball game is an easy place to find it.

Bearded Magazine / Features and Interviews / Lee Scott / High Focus
Interview: Lee Scott
Storied UK rapper Lee Scott chats about his recent collaborative LP Butter Fly
Posted on Jun 20th, 2015 in Features and Interviews, Lee Scott, High Focus / By Sam Bennett
Lee Scott is a veteran. He's been releasing music since the early 2000s, when hip-hop in Britain was a different landscape compared to its current standing. He made his name as part of Children of the Damned, who specialised in witty lyricism with jazzy boom bap production, and has since established a formidable solo discography, as well as success with Blah Records as a wider entity. A day before the fourth annual Boom-Bap festival, held in Mildenhall where Lee performed as part of Cult Mountain, Lee Scott chatted with Bearded.
'I guess I've met Dike about, here and there at shows' says Lee about how his and Dirty Dike's collaboration album Butter Fly, which was recently released through the High Focus powerhouse, came into being. ' I just met him a few times out and about, and he sent me a bunch of new beats. I made a few tracks, like really quickly, then we just kept talking over the internet and got to like three or four tracks. There was no point just having those, so we thought we may as well keep going. There's no deep story to it. He just sent me a load of beats that were perfect for me at that moment in time.'
'I always say it, when it comes to writing, if the shit doesn't write itself I just don't do it, I just put it to one side' says Scott when we discuss his method of creating. 'I never force anything; I just do my own thing. Sometimes I'll have one or two projects in the making at once, maybe more. With the Tin Foil Fronts album I stopped halfway through and made Stupid Poignant Shit in like about three months. The Tin Foil Fronts album took me a few years to get it how I wanted it. I don't really have a method, my method is being me.' Butter Fly is a really great album, it's a project I've found myself coming back to time and time again, not only because of Lee's observant, entertaining writing, but also due to Dirty Dike's jazzy production. 'I always prefer those slow tempos to rap to, and I think some of them are like 74 BPM. About two percent was me saying make the beats slow and jazzy and the rest of it I just left to him. Pretty much all the beats were just perfect. Only like two of the beats were from the vault as well, pretty much everything was made specifically for this project.'
'I've known Molotov for years man, shout outs to Molotov' says Lee as we talk about how 'So Cactus, So Owl' from his Cactus Owl Moon Goat album, a track produced by Dirty Dike and Molotov. 'Dike actually sent me the beat within the ones he sent for Butter Fly. It was produced by Molotov as well as Dike I just said let's put this on my solo project, as like a little introduction into what we're gonna drop. I was making Cactus Owl Moon Goat at the same time I was making Butter Fly.' I ask Lee how long it usually takes him to write, and how much thought goes into his concepts. 'Certain things will take no time at all, it depends on the situation. I actually started writing 'Watch TV' years ago, I just didn't really have a beat for it. I had a thing in my head, and Dike just happened to send me the beat. I swear to God man, it was the actual beat I had in my head. Sell Drugs is basically a glorified chorus, like I didn't write it, I just done it, chilling in the studio. It just depends man.'
Lee's writing style is charismatic and recognisable, with a sarcastic swagger amidst a vast range of references and substantial concepts. This is just as present on his new release as his past work. Butter Fly is littered with a broad spectrum of references, including Howard The Duck and Rezso Seress' 'Gloomy Sunday', better known as the Hungarian Suicide Song. 'I just pick things out the hat. I haven't watched Howard the Duck since the nineties to be honest, but it's just something that's always stuck with me, it's a trip. It's fucking weird man, it's shit but it's one of them where it's good because it's shit. The bar, that sums up the film man; 'It's an accident I'm on this planet like Howard The Duck.' That's just literally what the movie is, he's just watching telly, and something happens and he ends up on Earth basically for no reason. References man, they come from many things, something that's just stuck with me, or a certain train of thought. It's not really even an intentional or conscious thing, they're just things that pop out my mind. You just hear these random little snippets of bullshit that just stay in your brain.'
'Out of all the people in the world, all the preachers the revolutionaries and all this shit, who gets the point across the best?' says Lee when I ask about the humorous nature of some of his lyrics. 'In my opinion it's stand-up comedians, They're dropping the deepest shit but without preaching at you. Don't get me wrong some comics are borderline preaching, but because it's comedic and put out in an art-form it's way more interesting. Those are the guys that I've always looked up to more than anything else, maybe a little bit of the influence comes from certain stand up comedy, something profound but also has a bit of sarcasm. Plus I'm a fucking sarcastic bastard too man. It's important to have a balance. I'll wake up one day feeling one way and different the next. I'm not a very consistent person in life and the music usually reflects that.'
Lee Scott first started gaining attention with Children Of The Damned, a group made up of a selection of tight spitters. 'The whole first album just sounded like a cypher. It was like, what you got man? Go and drop! With that one everyone just wanted to rap.' In more recent times however he is setting the scene alight with Cult Mountain, which consists of Scott, Sheffield MC Trellion, Milkavelli (formerly known as Monster Under The Bed, who was a part of COTD) and Sumgii on production. Their super slow, menacing brand of UK hip-hop is distinctive and incredibly entertaining. 'Basically, Sumgii did a remix of 'Puta'. I was like, yo this is so ill, and I wanted to make a project with that sort of sound; real melancholy, banging type shit. So I recorded a verse and I was talking to Trellion, and was like, let's do a little project with this different production from Sumgii, then we did maybe one or two songs. I was saying to Sumgii that when Milk came into the studio and heard them he'd just wanna jump on them. Then he heard it and it just went from there. We've all been planning to work with each other, we'd planned on doing it eventually, and that was just the spark, it just happened to be the sound we were all searching for at that very moment. The follow up is coming man, it's done, it's ready. It's crazy as fuck man, I can tell you that.'
Conversation turns to the difference in the scope for UK hip-hop nowadays compared to when Children Of The Damned were active. 'YouTube and all this shit has just gone through the roof. I think all you had back then was like a MySpace artist page, everything else was just word of mouth. It appears to me that there are a lot of young kids into it, and they just weren't there; they didn't have access to it or didn't know about it. There's a lot more fans in general. I think with MC's in general, the standard is a little bit lower. When we were doing it, you had to be ridiculously ill otherwise people would just laugh at you, whereas now I don't think that matters so much. It's more about the vibe, and people are more sociable; it appeals to hippie kids or whatever, not that that's a bad thing. I think they're the main differences, as well as more exposure to like rural areas, I think that is actually a major difference. Rural communities are just loving it. I mean I remember being a bit younger man and that didn't really exist you know. Or maybe it did, it just seemed more of an inner city thing.'
I ask whether Lee feels his own music has changed much along with the growing exposure the genre has found. 'The spine of the whole thing is pretty much the same. I don't sit about and analyse what I do too much. I think the main thing is like being able to control my voice better. For years I felt like every project didn't really sound how I wanted them to. With a lot of the early stuff the vibe was a bit more shouty, but I never liked the way I sounded on anything, it just wasn't really me. In recent years I've just found my voice a little bit more. The general personality behind it is all the things you mentioned earlier, the sarcasm and all that shit. That's been there for the whole time. I'm still pretty much the same person.'
There's a lot of material to track the journey with too. 'There was a time when I was just procrastinating, and it was harder to create' says Lee about his productivity. 'One day something just clicked in my brain and I was like I need to create every fucking day. I'd always been like that but I used to find it a bit harder to finish projects. There was tons of stuff that should have come out, years before even Children Of The Damned; I just wasn't as focussed. So yeah, I'm very productive, not just music man, sometimes I'll make a cover and then make an album to fit the cover. Whatever inspires me. I pretty much write everyday, or do something, come up with a name for a project, whatever man! I don't really do much else.' Blah Records continue the theme, with a steady release of quality releases, including the fantastic Danny Lover album, My Best Friends Keep Dying, amidst an array of other dope artists. 'I started Blah with Molotov, and originally it was just a thing to put out Children Of The Damned stuff' says Lee. 'The original plan was that we would all go and do little offshoots and collaborative projects, solo projects what have you. We started but it never really progressed. After a while Molotov had to go back to Switzerland, and then it sort of started fizzling out. I met Reklews through Tony Broke, and when me and Reklews got together, we did a couple of tracks. I was so used to hearing my own DIY production and shitty mixes, then when Reklews sent me his mix I went home and listened to it like a hundred times. I'd never heard myself mixed like that before. I lived like literally walking distance from his house, so I just used to go to his like every day, recording loads of tracks, pissing his mum off shouting in his room. He's more organized than me, so he started taking on a lot more of the Blah stuff, not even purposefully at first.'
I've seen Lee play live twice now, and as our conversation draws to a close, I ask him what he enjoys about performing as opposed to recording. 'I like both. Years ago I didn't do much apart from recording and making beats, living in my own fucking world. I guess years later I started enjoying performing a lot more. I've been performing since I was old enough to go to clubs, I was doing a lot of shows, and don't get me wrong I enjoyed it, I was just more into making music at that point. If I don't perform for a little while now, I get a bit pissed off and angsty, like I need to go and fucking perform. The same goes for making music as well. I get that same feeling if I haven't managed to make anything. I love it all man, for different reasons.'

17 year-old Kelley Winslow doesn't believe in Faeries. Not unless they're the kind that you find in a theatre, spouting Shakespeare—the kind that Kelley so desperately wishes she could be: onstage, under lights, with a pair of sparkly wings strapped to her shoulders. But as the understudy in a two-bit, hopelessly off-off-Broadway production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, wishing is probably the closest she's going to get to becoming a Faerie Queen. At least, that's what she thinks... In this fun, urban fantasy, Kelley's off-stage life suddenly becomes as complicated as one of Shakespeare's plot twists when a nighttime trip to Central Park holds more than meets the mortal eye.
This is another one that I didn't really know what to think of at first. The first page instantly grabbed my attention with talk of Oberon, Titania, and Puck from A Midsummer's Night dream. While I can't stand the Shakespearean language (mainly because it's way above my head, ha), I love the lore of the courts – mainly because of reading the Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa. So, after this first page, my expectations were set high.
Then I got to the prologue and was highly disappointed that Livingston was guilty of purple prose. I had to read most of it twice as I was so distracted by the flowery handwriting that I had trouble focusing on what she was trying to say. There are bursts of it throughout the whole story – sometimes it smooths out, but then she goes back to it like she forgot she was supposed to be embellishing the words.
So focused on the pretty words, the delivery was hindered. I had trouble relating to the characters and felt no emotion or empathy for them. There were also points, particularly during an argument, that she uses italics – like, a lot – and that also served to distract me from what she was trying to convey. Exclamation points could probably have served for better emphasis than italics ever could.
Another thing that made it hard to take seriously was word usage like minion, harbringer, and henchmen. Really? I was trying not to laugh at loud, even though it was in serious parts of the book. (See how annoying the italics are? Yeah, I thought so too.) Oh, and then there were the flying monkeys that Kelley sees…easy, Dorothy.
The romance fell flat for me as well. Sonny sees Kelley in the park and immediately goes all creepy stalker dude on her, following her to her rehearsal, to her apartment…creepy, right? It seems like all guys in books now are catching Edward syndrome.
While I may have all of these complaints about the beginning (okay, really the majority), I must admit the end earned my grudging regard. Livingston redeems herself in the end, where she finally brings the magic to life with an unexpected identity twist, and finally, some action and danger.
A bit too flowery for me.
Your review is great as ever. I think that I will skip this on. I loved The Iron Fey series so I don´t want to ruin my perception of fairy courts with such boring book with stalker guy.

Introducing the New Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute
On May 24, 1962, history was made with the Mercury-Atlas 7 mission, at its command was astronaut Scott Carpenter who orbited the Earth three times and five hours later would land safely in the Atlantic aboard the "Aurora 7", the space capsule.
What few knew is that during his mission Carpenter wore on his wrist the "first Swiss wristwatch in space", the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute, a special variant of the Navitimer, an iconic pilot's watch, prepared according to the instructions given by Carpenter himself, which included a 24-hour dial that allowed you to distinguish day from night in space.
Carpenter's rescue operation in the ocean would take three hours, and during that time the watch was exposed to seawater that resulted in irreparable damage, which has been faithfully kept in the Breitling archives to this day.
Today, which celebrates the 60th anniversary of that mission to Breitling, it pays tribute to that historic milestone with the launch of a 362-piece limited edition of the iconic Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute.
The new Navitimer Cosmonaute, which is very similar to the original from 1962, however, has some new features, such as the platinum bezel, a date window integrated into the hour-counter at 6 o'clock and an open sapphire case back through which it is possible to observe the Caliber B02 manual movement, which comes with special engraving bridges that mark the date: "Carpenter", "Aurora 7", "3 orbits around the Earth" and "Mercury 7", the name given by NASA to the group of 7 astronauts that were part of the mission.
All other details on the watch remained very similar, a 41mm stainless steel case with a lacy bezel, sapphire crystal, crown at three o'clock and two pusher buttons. On the black dial, a white inner ring followed by another black with different scales to support navigation, and now showing some details in red, 24-hour scale dial and central syringe-shaped hands all in beige tones filled with luminescent material, three subdials: a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock and small seconds at 9 o'clock, and finally, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association "wings" logo at 12 o'clock preceded now with the brand inscription instead of the previous one "Cosmonaute", and finally the inscription of "Navitimer" at 6 o'clock.
The watch is offered with a black leather strap stitching in white, and is available at the brand's official boutiques and authorized retailers for €9,200 and €9,700 for the leather strap and steel bracelet variants respectively.

Beardyman, musician and beatboxing champion
Beardyman is a pioneer of improvisation and live looping, taking what's possible with the human voice to unchartered territories. He is regarded as the best Beatboxer on the planet, has over 50 million views of his performances online and has scored global top 10 chart success with Fat Boy Slim with his track entitled "Eat Sleep Rave Repeat" (which took him 14 minutes to improvise in one take...). He has just made a series of albums, each within an hour's worth of studio time with collaborators and friends Jack Black and Tim Minchin amongst others and ironically has spent the last three years making his next studio album, aptly entitled 'Distractions'...
Nothing in the world existed for Beardyman's need to record and produce his voice and other instrumentation live and in the moment, so he formed his own software team, included some of the world's best music software developers, to realise his vision. He was a key speaker at the global TED conference and unveiled his game changing creation, the BEARDYTRON_5000mkII, a self-designed musical spaceship that allows him to improvise and produce cutting-edge, studio quality music, in real-time. Now he has completed the BEARDYTRON_5000mkIII, the world's most advanced live music production system and is bringing it and his immense talent to the Every Second Counts Forum in association with Rolex, the Guardian and Observer.

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor, World Wide Web and founder, World Wide Web Consortium
Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at CERN, the large particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.
Since that time, the Web has changed the world, arguably becoming the most powerful communication medium the world has ever known - it has fundamentally altered the way we teach and learn, buy and sell, inform and are informed, agree and disagree, share and collaborate, meet and love, and tackle problems ranging from putting food on our tables to curing cancer.
In 2007, Sir Tim recognized that the Web's potential to empower people to bring about positive change remained unrealized by billions around the world, and so announced the formation of the World Wide Web Foundation. In doing so he once again confirmed his commitment to ensuring an open, free Web accessible and meaningful to all where people can share knowledge, access services, conduct commerce, participate in good governance and communicate in creative ways.
A graduate of Oxford University, Sir Tim is a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Southampton, UK, as well as director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and author of Weaving the Web and many other publications.

Good deal for good money.
awesome news doc... rumours of agent wanting 5.5-6 were greatly exaggerated then..

Prolly at some point in negotiations said agent was tossin around said numbers.
Alex will be 37 when this is over. I hope there is no NTC/NMC attached.

There is a NTC attached but I have no problem with that.
You expecting a three year lockout Tops?
Another good re-signing by the Canucks mgmt. Certainly, Burrows is seeking to get a deal in under the wire, but it's a good deal all around. Finally, hockey news I can read without cringing!
Apparently it's a NTC, not NMC.
I like the numbers, but would have preferred a 3 year deal.
The hope is Burrows will have a strong season as a 36 year old, the final year of his contract, but that's no certainty. Either way, it shouldn't be crippling if the cap keeps rising above 70M by that time...unless we have other dead weight contracts then.
My mistake,I thought he was 32. He'll be 36, he still has 1yr at $2mil before the extension kicks in.

Burrows will turn 36 one month before this contract is up.
It's not likely Canucks ever wanna trade him, so who cares about the NTC.
All it means is that if we ever DO trade him, he has some say as to where.

Yeah that's wot we were sayin buds.

Home Tech News ALERT! Google Chrome internet BLACKOUT likely coming
ALERT! Google Chrome internet BLACKOUT likely coming
Warnings are being sent out on a looming Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox internet BLACKOUT possibility.
Google Chrome is to unleash a major upgrade in March. Google's sites are configured to appear on a browser with 3 digit names. (Pixabayay)
Google is likely to unleash a major upgrade in coming weeks that will block most websites across the world. Google Chrome 100 update is the latest one from the internet giant that is causing a concern. It is speculated to launch next month. As per reports, once the Google Chrome update is rolled out, it could wreak havoc on the internet because of Chrome's new name and the way websites interact with this popular software. As per the reports, most online sites are configured to appear on a browser with a two-digit name- Google's current Chrome variant is called 98. So, in effect, what people may be looking at, in a worst case scenario, is a Google Chrome Internet blackout. If that happens, users will be left totally in the darkness regarding their connectivity. After the Google Chrome update is rolled out, all the online sites will have to switch to three digits and that too in the coming weeks.
This glitch will be similar to the millennium bug, which caused a havoc back in 1999, before a solution was found. That had made even the top experts at the best tech companies worry that the year 2000 would send PCs across the world into an irreversible meltdown. All because 1999 changed to 2000 - an all-new bumber. That caused some sites to show errors and become completely unviewable to the public.
Though, it's not clear how badly the coming Google Chrome upgrade will affect websites next month, Mozilla, in one of its blog posts has written, "Major version 100 is a big milestone for both Chrome and Firefox. It also has the potential to cause breakage on websites as we move from a two-digit to a three-digit version number."
According to Mozilla, internet browsers like Firefox and Chrome have already started doing experiments to help detect possible website breakages. These tests will continue to run until the release of the updated three digit version. Users are advised to be prepared for some turbulence during your usual web-browsing sessions in March.

When I published Coffee Break Companion I acquired the services of an editor to help polish off my manuscript before I uploaded it to Createspace. Deciding who to use, and what services I required was a challenge, as I had no idea of the range of services available, where to look for an editor, or what help I needed to ensure my manuscript was publication ready. It's a minefield for the uninitiated, but hopefully this post will help a little.
