In 2024 we launched our Physics World Live series of panel discussions. In September, we explored the future of particle physics with Tara Shears of the UK’s University of Liverpool, Phil Burrows at the University of Oxford in the UK and Tulika Bose at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the US. Moderated by Physics World’s Michael Banks, the discussion focussed on next-generation particle colliders and how they could unravel the mysteries of the Higgs boson and probe beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. You can watch a video of the event by clicking on the above headline (free registration) or read an article based on the discussion here: “How a next-generation particle collider could unravel the mysteries of the Higgs boson”.
Neutrinos do not fit in nicely with the Standard Model of particle physics because of their non-zero masses. As a result some physicists believe that they offer a unique opportunity to do experiments that could reveal new physics. In a wide-ranging interview, the particle physicist Juan Pedro Ochoa-Ricoux explains why he has devoted much of his career to the study of these elusive subatomic particles. He also looks forward to two big future experiments – JUNO and DUNE – which could change our understanding of the universe.
This year marked the 70th anniversary of the world’s most famous physics laboratory, so the last two items in my list celebrate that iconic facility nestled between the Alps and the Jura mountains. Formed in the aftermath of the Second World War, which devastated much of Europe, CERN came into being on 29 September 1954. That year also saw the start of construction of the Geneva-based lab’s proton synchrotron, which fired-up in 1959 with an energy of 24 GeV, becoming the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator. The original CERN had 12 member states and that has since doubled to 24, with an additional 10 associate members. The lab has been associated with a number of Nobel laureates and is a shining example of how science can bring nations together after a the trauma of war. Read more about the anniversary here.
In today’s world, many actions must be taken to address pressing global issues such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. Governments can be encouraged to implement policies that support sustainable development, but individuals should also be motivated to contribute to these efforts. For instance, reducing waste and conserving energy can be achieved through simple daily practices.
Citizens might be asked to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as recycling and using public transportation. However, it must be remembered that systemic changes are equally crucial. Laws could be passed to regulate emissions, and renewable energy sources should be prioritized over fossil fuels. Additionally, corporations ought to be held accountable for their environmental impact. Policies may be introduced to ensure that businesses operate sustainably.
Education must be emphasized as a key solution to many social challenges. Equal access to education should be guaranteed to ensure that every child can be given an opportunity to succeed. Scholarships and funding programs might be provided to support underprivileged students, while curriculum reform could be considered to prepare young people for the demands of the future.
I solemnly swear, on my keyboard and eternal stash of coffee, to represent my House with pride and just the right amount of overconfidence. I pledge to give my best effort—or at least make it look like I’m trying—so that our House may bask in the glow of digital glory. Whether it’s solving puzzles, creating memes, or navigating the epic campaigns set before us, I shall charge forward with all the vigor of someone truly committed to the cause (and the snacks).

The reading and the lecture discuss TOPIC. While the author argues that MAIN ARGUMENT FROM THE READING, the lecturer opposes this view by presenting three counterarguments.
First, despite the author's claim that FIRST POINT FROM THE READING, the lecturer refutes this idea by stating that FIRST COUNTERPOINT FROM THE LECTURE. She explains that SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OR DETAIL FROM THE LECTURE.
Second, while the author suggests that SECOND POINT FROM THE READING, the lecturer disputes this argument by asserting that SECOND COUNTERPOINT FROM THE LECTURE. She elaborates further by mentioning SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OR DETAIL FROM THE LECTURE.
Finally, the reading asserts that THIRD POINT FROM THE READING. However, the lecturer challenges this by pointing out that THIRD COUNTERPOINT FROM THE LECTURE. According to her, SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OR DETAIL FROM THE LECTURE.
In conclusion, while the reading highlights MAIN ARGUMENTS FROM THE READING, the lecturer effectively undermines these points by providing clear and specific evidence to the contrary.
From my perspective, it is a more reasonable approach to MY OPINION. I am inclined to agree with STUDENT'S NAME on the matter of STUDENT'S OPINION, as her assertion is backed by a compelling reason that STUDENT'S MAIN IDEA. Furthermore, MY ADDITIONAL IDEA SUPPORTING MY IDEA. Although OTHER STUDENT'S NAME presents a persuasive argument regarding OTHER STUDENT'S OPINION, I respectfully hold a divergent viewpoint. She overlooks FLAW OF THE OTHER STUDENT'S OPINION.
The reading and the lecture discuss TOPIC. Both the author and the lecturer share the same viewpoint on MAIN ARGUMENT FROM THE READING, and the lecturer reinforces this view by presenting three supporting points.
First, the reading claims that FIRST POINT FROM THE READING. In the same way, the lecturer supports this claim by stating that FIRST SUPPORTING POINT FROM THE LECTURE. She explains that SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OR DETAIL FROM THE LECTURE.
Second, the author suggests that SECOND POINT FROM THE READING. Similarly, the lecturer agrees with this argument, asserting that SECOND SUPPORTING POINT FROM THE LECTURE. She further elaborates by mentioning SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OR DETAIL FROM THE LECTURE.
Finally, the reading states that THIRD POINT FROM THE READING. Likewise, the lecturer affirms this by pointing out that THIRD SUPPORTING POINT FROM THE LECTURE. According to her, SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OR DETAIL FROM THE LECTURE.
In conclusion, both the reading and the lecture emphasize MAIN ARGUMENTS FROM THE READING, with the lecturer providing additional evidence and examples to strengthen these points.

This appeal was made at the instance of the contesting Respondent in both the Civil Appeals who was really aggrieved of a clause in the prospectus issued by the Appellants, which according to her was not valid. According to the contesting Respondent, she being a Canadian Citizen is an N.R.I., that, therefore, she was entitled to seek admission to the M.B.B.S. course in the NRI category quota but yet the definition of N.R.I. as specified in the prospectus issued by the Chandigarh Administration and the Government Medical College, Chandigarh for the academic year 2012-13 would denude her of such status and, therefore, it was liable to be struck down.
The contesting Respondent claimed that her grand-father retired as an Under Secretary in the year 1994, that when was in house from 1964 to 1983 and shifted to another Government accommodation provided by the Chandigarh Administration form 1983 to 1993, that third set of Government accommodation was provided by the Government to the father of the contesting Respondent which was occupied till December 2003 and that thereafter, her father started living in the house of her grandfather in Mohali. The contesting Respondent claimed that she passed as a regular student from Mohali, that the prescription contained in paragraph 2 of the prospectus providing for eligibility and merit for N.R.I. seats for M.B.B.S. course stipulating that the grandparents or parents of the candidates should be resident of Chandigarh for a minimum period of 5 years at any time since the origin of Chandigarh for the last at least 5 years and a certificate to that effect issued by D.C. cum-Estate Officer or Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh. It was on that footing that a challenge came to be made by the contesting Respondent in the High Court in C.W. P. No. 1423 of 2011.
The learned Single judge by order held that impugned clause was totally impracticable, illegal, illogical and declared as such. However, the learned Single Judge went further into the question as to whether the contesting Respondent can be granted admission.
This special leave petition has been filed against the judgment and order dated 24th April, 2008 passed in Writ Petition No. 28 of 2006 by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh by which the writ petition against the order of dismissal of the petitioner’s application and successive appeals under the Right to Information Act, 2005 has been dismissed. In the said petition, the direction was sought by the Petitioner to the Respondent No. 1 to provide information as asked by him vide his application dated 15th November, 2004 from the Respondent No. 4 a Judicial Officer as for what reasons, the Respondent No. 4 had decided his Miscellaneous Appeal dishonestly.
The facts and circumstances giving rise to this case are, that the petitioner claimed to be in exclusive possession of the land in respect of which civil suit No. 810 of 2000 was filed before Additional Civil Judge, Ranga District praying for perpetual injunction by Dr. Rao against the petitioner and another from entering into the suit land. Application filed for interim relief n the said suit stood dismissed. Being aggrieved the plaintiff therein preferred C.M.A. No. 180 of 2000 and the same was also dismissed. Two other suits were filed in respect of the same property impleading the Petitioner also as the defendant. In one of the suits i.e. O.S. No. 875 of 2003, the trial court granted temporary injunction against the petitioner being aggrieved, petitioner preferred the C.M.A. no. 64 of 2003, which was dismissed by the appellate court respondent No. 4 vide order dated 10th August, 2004.
Petitioner filed an application dated 15th November, 2004 under Section 6 of the R.T. I. Act before the Administrative Officer cum assistant state Public Information Officer (respondent No. 1) seeking information to the queries mentioned therein. The said application was rejected vide order dated 23rd November, 2004 and an appeal against the said order was also dismissed vide order dated 20th January, 2005. Second appeal against the said order was also dismissed by the Andhra Pradesh Information Commission vide order. The petitioner challenged the said order before the High Court seeking a direction to the Respondent No. 1 to furnish the required information immediately.
The appellant was convicted by the trial court under Sectio 306 I.P.C. on the allegation that his farm labour (deceased) committed suicide because of the harassment meted out to him by appellant. The prosecution case was that the appellant, two days prior to the incident, levelled an allegation of theft of ornaments against the deceased; that the appellant had also demanded from the deceased Rs. 7000/- which was given to him as advance at the time when he was kept in employment. The conviction was affirmed by the High Court. In the instant appeal filed by the accused, it was contended for the appellant that the conviction of the appellant was unsustainable as no ingredients of offence punishable u/s 306 I.P.C. were made out. Abetment involved a mental process of instigating a person or intentionally aiding a person in doing of a thing. Without a positive act on the part of the accused to instigate or aid in committing suicide, conviction cannot be sustained.
The intention of the Legislature and the ratio of the cases decided by this court is clear that in order to convict a person u/s 306 I.P.C. there has to be a clear mens rea to commit the office. It also requires an active act or direct act must have been intended to push the deceased into such a position that he committed suicide. In the instant case, the deceased was undoubtedly hyper sensitive to ordinary petulance, discord and differences which happen in day to day life. Human sensitivity of each individual differs from the other. Different people behave differently in the same situation. In the light of the provisions of law and the settled legal positions crystallized by a series of judgments of this court, the conviction of the appellant cannot be sustained. The word suicide in itself is nowhere defined in the Indian Penal Code, however its meaning and import is ell known and requires no explanation. ‘Sui’ means ‘self’ and ‘cide’ means ‘killing’, thus implying an act of self-killing. In short a person committing suicide must commit it by himself, irrespective of the means employed by him in achieving his object of killing himself.
Suicide by itself is not an offence under either English Law or Indian Criminal Law.

The extra side dish, the snack we eat when we know in our hearts we don’t really need it, the apple pie after lunch—all these will give us pleasure in the short term, but not having them will make us happier in the long term.

Achieving mindfulness involves a gradual process of training, but with a bit of practice we can learn to focus our mind completely, which reduces stress and helps us live longer.

According to a study by Boston Consulting Group, when asked about their bosses, the number one complaint of employees at multinational corporations is that they don’t “communicate the team’s mission clearly,” and that, as a result, the employees don’t know what their objectives are. What often happens, especially in big companies, is that the executives get lost in the details of obsessive planning, creating strategies to hide the fact that they don’t have a clear objective. It’s like heading out to sea with a map but no destination
It is much more important to have a compass pointing to a concrete objective than to have a
We often think that combining tasks will save us time, but scientific evidence shows that it has the opposite effect. Even those who claim to be good at multitasking are not very productive. In fact, they are some of the least productive people
Concentrating on one thing at a time may be the single most important factor in achieving flow. According to Csikszentmihalyi, in order to focus on a task we need: To be in a distraction-free environment To have control over what we are doing at every moment

The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.
What do the activities that drive you to flow have in common? Why do those activities drive you to flow? For example, are all the activities you most like doing ones that you practice alone or with other people? Do you flow more when doing things that require you to move your body or just to think? In the answers to these questions you might find the underlying ikigai that drives your life. If you don’t, then keep searching by going deeper into what you like by spending more of your time in the activities that make you flow. Also, try new things that are not on the list of what makes you flow but that are similar and that you are curious about

Still, my palms were itching with anticipation.
There was not much time left and too much to think about.
Success means freedom: freedom from worries, fears, frustrations, and failure. Success means self-respect, continually finding more real happiness and satisfaction from life, being able to do more for those who depend on you.
The “Okay-I’ll-give-it-a-try-but-I-don’t-think-it-will-work” attitude produces failures.
‘I harnessed the power of belief.’
It’s fun to feel yourself growing more confident, more effective, more successful day by day, month by month. Nothing—absolutely nothing—in this life gives you more satisfaction than knowing you’re on the road to success and achievement. And nothing stands as a bigger challenge than making the most of yourself.
A victim of this thought disease goes through this mental process: “I’m not doing as well as I should. What can I use as an alibi that will help me save face? Let’s see: poor health? lack of education? too old? too young? bad luck? personal misfortune? wife? the way my family brought me up?” Once the victim of this failure disease has selected a “good” excuse, he sticks with it. Then he relies on the excuse to explain to himself and others why he is not going forward.
right attitude and one arm will beat the wrong attitude and two arms every time.
I felt sorry for myself because I had ragged shoes until I met a man who had no feet.
Really, it’s surprising how few people feel they are “just right” age-wise. And it’s unfortunate. This excuse has closed the door of real opportunity to thousands of individuals. They think their age is wrong, so they don’t even bother to try.
You’re only as old as you feel
A relative of mine spent years doing many different things—selling, operating his own business, working in a bank—but he never quite found what he really wanted to do most. Finally, he concluded that the one thing he wanted more than anything else was to be a minister. But when he thought about it, he found he was too old. After all, he was forty-five, had three young children and little money. But fortunately he mustered all of his strength and told himself, “Forty-five or not, I’m going to be a minister.”
Old? Of course not. He still has twenty years of productive life ahead of him. I talked with this man not long ago, and he said to me, “You know, if I had not made that great decision when I was forty-five, I would have spent the rest of my life growing old and bitter. Now I feel every bit as young as I did twenty-five years ago.”
Stop thinking “I should have started years ago.” That’s failure thinking. Instead think, “I’m going to start now, my best years are ahead of me.” That’s the way successful people think
let’s look at the practical side. When you do anything that goes contrary to your conscience, you feel guilty, and this guilty feeling jams your thought processes. You can’t think straight because your mind is asking ‘Will I get caught? Will I get caught?’ “Paul,” I continued, “you wanted an A so badly you did something you knew was wrong. There are many times in life when you’ll want to make an A so badly you’ll be tempted to do something that is contrary to your conscience.
In the long run, making that sale using tactics that hurt your conscience will cost you a lot of income.”
There is within each of us a desire to be right, think right, and act right. When we go against that desire, we put a cancer in our conscience. This cancer grows and grows by eating away at our confidence. Avoid doing anything that will cause you to ask yourself, “Will I get caught? Will they find out? Will I get away with it?” Don’t try to make an A if it means violating your confidence.
It is easy to prove that managed motions can change emotions. People who are shy in introducing themselves can replace this timidity with confidence just by taking three simple actions simultaneously: First, reach for the other person’s hand and clasp it warmly. Second, look directly at the other person. And third, say, “I’m very glad to know you.” These three simple actions automatically and instantaneously banish shyness. Confident action produces confident thinking. So, to think confidently, act confidently. Act the way you want to feel
Make everything about you say, “I’m confident, really confident.” Practice these little techniques in your day-to-day activities: Be a front seater. Make eye contact. Walk 25 percent faster. Speak up. Smile big.
To think big, we must use words and phrases that produce big, positive mental images.
I’ve made up my mind to look at myself as the person I’m going to be in a few short years. I see myself not as a rate clerk but as an executive. I don’t see a crummy apartment, I see a fine new suburban home. And when I look at myself that way, I feel bigger and think bigger.
Isn’t that a splendid plan for adding value to oneself? This young fellow is on the expressway to really fine living. He’s mastered this basic success principle: It isn’t what one has that’s important. Rather, it’s how much one is planning to get that counts.
Remember, to bring out the best in a person, you must first visualize his best
Practice adding value to yourself. Conduct a daily interview with yourself. Ask, “What can I do to make myself more valuable today?”
that’s enough” attitude is small, negative thinking. Big thinkers see themselves as members of a team effort, as winning or losing with the team, not by themselves. They help in every way they can, even when there is no direct and immediate compensation or other reward.

Surrounds himself with persons with large, progressive ideas.
When you believe something is impossible, your mind goes to work for you to prove why. But when you believe, really believe, something can be done, your mind goes to work for you and helps you find the ways to do it.
Where there’s a will, there is a way.
six months ago I never dreamed I could possibly manage the house and work full-time. But after the accident, I just made up my mind that I had to find the time. Believe me, my efficiency has gone up 100 percent. I discovered a lot of things I was doing didn’t need to be done at all. Then I discovered that the children could and wanted to help. I found dozens of ways to conserve time—fewer trips to the store, less TV, less telephoning, less of those time killers.”
When you really believe you can do more, your mind thinks creatively and shows you the way.
leaders in all walks of life spend much more time requesting advice than they do in giving it. Before a top man makes a decision, he asks, “How do you feel about it?” “What do you recommend?” “What would you do under these circumstances?” “How does this sound to you?”
Thinking does make it so. The fellow who thinks he is inferior, regardless of what his real qualifications may be, is inferior. For thinking regulates actions. If a man feels inferior, he acts that way, and no veneer of cover-up or bluff will hide this basic feeling for long. The person who feels he isn’t important, isn’t. On the other side, a fellow who really thinks he is equal to the task, is. To be important, we must think we are important, really think so; then others will think so too. Here again is the logic:
Remember, your appearance “talks.” Be sure it says positive things about you. Never leave home without feeling certain you look like the kind of person you want to be.
When I stress “Respect your appearance” in training programs, almost always I am asked the question “I’m sold. Appearance is important. But how do you expect me to afford the kind of clothing that really makes me feel right and that causes others to look up to me?” That question puzzles many people. It plagued me for a long time. But the answer is really a simple one: Pay twice as much and buy half as many.
Remember: Your appearance talks to you and it talks to others. Make certain it says, “Here is a person who has self-respect. He’s important. Treat him that way.” You owe it to others— but, more important, you owe it to yourself —to look your best.
Remember: People who tell you it cannot be done almost always are unsuccessful people, are strictly average or mediocre at best in terms of accomplishment.
The key is over time Success is built sequentially
Achievers operate differently
They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day
Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority
They have an eye for the essential
There will always be just a few things that matter more than the rest, and out of those, one will matter most
The truth is that things don’t matter equally and success is found in doing what matters most
Multitasking is merely the opportunity to screw up more than one thing at a time
success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right
The trick to success is to choose the right habit and bring just enough discipline to establish it
Super-successful people aren’t superhuman at all; they’ve just used selected discipline to develop a few significant habits
To achieve an extraordinary result you must choose what matters most and give it all the time it demands
Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls
But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball
Internalizing this concept is like being handed a magic compass
the only actions that become springboards to succeeding big are those informed by big thinking to begin with
Don’t fear big
Don’t let small thinking cut your life down to size
here is the prime condition of success, the great secret—concentrate your energy, thought and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” is all wrong
It is easy to watch and carry the one basket
So, how do you know which basket to pick? The Focusing Question
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step
Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it
big picture” questions (Where am I going? What target should I aim for?) but also “small focus” ones as well (What must I do right now to be on the path to getting the big picture? Where’s the bull’s-eye
What’s the ONE Thing I can do / such that by doing it / everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas all ran away and hid from one little Did
What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
For example: “For my job, what’s the ONE Thing I can do to ensure I hit my goals this week such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”
People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures
Life isn’t about finding yourself
Live with purpose and don’t be surprised if you actually hum more and even whistle while you work
Pick a direction, start marching down that path, and see how you like it
This requires getting extremely out of balance in relation to all other work issues, with only infrequent counterbalancing to address them
You’re learning how to think big—but go small
My goal is no longer to get more done, but rather to have less to do
can do for my ONE Thing such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity
Extraordinarily successful people launch their year by taking time out to plan their time off
Efficiency is doing the thing right
To experience extraordinary results, be a maker in the morning and a manager in the afternoon
If you drop it, it will bounce back
More than anything else, expertise tracks with hours invested
Too many people reach a level where their performance is “good enough” and then stop working on getting better
When life happens, you can be either the author of your life or the victim of it Make this connection, and the importance of how big you think begins to sink in
As effective as writing down your goals can be, simply sharing your progress toward your goals with someone regularly even just a friend, makes you almost twice as
Extraordinary results happen only when you give the best you have to become the best you can be at your most important work
stay out of the passenger seat and always choose the driver’s side Fear mediocrity
THE FOUR THIEVES OF PRODUCTIVITY Inability to Say “No” Fear of Chaos Poor Health Habits Environment Doesn’t Support Your Goals
Remember, saying yes to your ONE Thing is your top priority
When you strive for greatness, chaos is guaranteed to show up
Think big, aim high, act bold
anything you build on a large scale or with intense passion invites chaos
If you have to beg, then beg
grab your calendar and plan your day
The road to success is always under construction
Always remember that when you say yes to something, you’re saying no to everything else
On your way to living a life worth living, doing your best to succeed at what matters most to you not only rewards you with success and happiness but with something even more precious
I tell you “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket
What’s the ONE Thing I can do right now to start using The ONE Thing in my life such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country
Mark Twain agreed with Carnegie and described it this way: The secret of getting ahead is getting started
The secret to getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks and then starting on the first one
They just never stop to fully appreciate that if this is true, then the wrong first step begins a journey that could end as far as two thousand miles from where they want to be
The Focusing Question helps keep your first step from being a misstep
