Mijn fiets is alweer gestolen uit een bewaakte stalling (?). Beide sloten doorgeslepen, ondanks camera’s. Ongelofelijk dat dit midden op de dag kan. 2de fiets in maand tijd. Eerder stelde de politie geen onderzoek in. Zo blijven dieven vrij spel houden.

Has anyone already spotted “On Christmas Day” by Bryan Adams online? By far one of the best Christmas songs, but unfortunately rarely available. I’m lucky to have the LP, but I’d love to share it with you.
Live: the Christmas Volume II: Natale in Vaticano.

Twenty weeks after surgery, there’s stiffness in the knee and mild pain around the kneecap. Even though strength exercises are going well, it may be due to fluid buildup, scar tissue, overuse, tight quads, or patellar-tendon irritation.

Am I the only one who starts hearing songs in my head about shimming while manually (intensively) shimming? Like: “We will, we will shim you”, “Let’s shim!”, “You make a grown man shim”, "And I will always shim you”, "You can shim, you can jive”, “Tramps like us, baby we were born to shim”.

I was in one of those typical book-and-vinyl shops today in Maastricht — the kind you always think you’d love to visit. LPs everywhere and stacks of books on the floor. But I had no idea where to even start. In the end, I went home empty-handed, unfortunately.

The Blues Brothers - Original Soundtrack Recording
I wouldn’t call it the greatest soundtrack ever, but with every song I can see the scene play out perfectly — no doubt because I’ve seen it so often. And the cast is simply fantastic.

Wham! - The Singles: Echoes from the Edge of Heaven
Some albums aren’t ones you buy for yourself. I prefer George Michael’s solo work, but even so, it’s a true echo of the ’80s. The echo of “Last Christmas” has been ringing for a bit.

In a family with two knee injuries, today my youngest son was the first to be back in shape and return to the hockey field after 9 months and two meniscus surgeries. So glad to see him doing what he likes most.

Dire Straits - San Francisco 1979
So recognizable: a recording from a certain year with a cover photo that doesn’t match the year of the performance at all. A nice recording - though, like many concerts from that era, it feels overly fast

Today I ran (well, jogged) a few min on the treadmill at the physio - 149 days after my last run, 143 days after tearing my quadriceps, and 133 days after surgery. It went well enough that I can start building up outdoors again. 👟

Today no exercises at physiotherapy, but the “hardening” in the rectus femoris muscle just above the patella was massaged loose. I’d been bothered by it for a few days. However, it’s not something to worry about.

It’s been online for a while already, but I’m sharing it here anyway: "Quantitative Trace Analysis of Dilute Mixtures Using a Benchtop NMR System with SABRE Hyperpolarization" by Bono Jimmink and Mattia Negroni #HISCORE pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Quantitative Trace Analysis of Dilute Mixtures Using a Benchtop NMR System with SABRE Hyperpolarization
Despite their modest sensitivity, benchtop NMR spectrometers have recently attracted a great deal of attention, because of their low cost, high portability, and robustness. A solution to the sensitivity limitation of benchtop spectrometers is offered by nuclear spin hyperpolarization, by which large NMR signal enhancements can be realized. Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) is one-such hyperpolarization technique, which utilizes hydrogen enriched in the para spin-isomer (pH2). However, the application of SABRE with benchtop NMR has so far largely been restricted to sample concentrations in the millimolar range. In this work, we present SABRE hyperpolarization of a mixture at micromolar concentrations, measured on a 1 T benchtop spectrometer. The observed linear dependence between hyperpolarized signals and concentration demonstrates the stability of our approach, which allows quantification in the micromolar range.

Madonna - True blue
A nice album for a quiet evening. I can’t really say much about it — I don’t even know how I got it. Probably something from or for my girlfriend. Although “Open Your Heart” does sound quite catchy.

The next step in physiotherapy is working on my quadriceps muscle endurance: repetitive exercises and to make things ever more 'fun' for me, we finish each session on the rowing machine.
