Nothing about solar cycles, or sun position, and other seasonal factors relating to fetal development. An old topic, covered in better detail in a plethora of past research articles. Might be more revealing to read about seasonal differences between children born in south vs north hemispheres.
I'm not sure if what you're talking about has anything to do with the article. It sounds like you're just making a flippant comment based on the title of the article (please correct me if I'm wrong). From the article:
> Most states have arbitrary cutoffs for kindergarten entry, with children who do not reach a given age by a certain date required to wait a year. In 18 states, children who will turn 5 before Sept. 1 can enter kindergarten in the year that they turn 5; children who will turn 5 after Sept. 1 must wait until the next year. So in states with Sept. 1 cutoffs, in any given class, August-born children will usually be the youngest and September-born children the oldest.
These arbitrary cutoffs have important implications for the diagnosis of A.D.H.D.
There are also other reasons birth month could be related to psychiatric disease that sound more pseudoscience-y at first. There's good reason to believe that infection at the wrong time of pregnancy can increase risk of Schizophrenia for example, meaning that the alignment of cold and flu season could affect disease rates by birth month.
I agree the comment was probably just being sarcastic, but I think it's worth noting that there could be a more biological component to an effect like this, doesn't need to be a societal environment/diagnosis rate thing to be plausible.
It's interesting reading about a lot of pseudoscience as you go through scientific training, because obviously you have an immediate negative reaction to it. But I've started to notice that more often than not there is some underlying grain of truth that is taken to an extreme and/or given a ridiculous explanation. This in turn dampens real research on the potentially interesting line of questioning.
Frightening. Maybe they are planning to strangle hold us with advertising or a pay model for public channels. I doubt they've made great inroads with their 50USD monthly network programming service.
Could be we will need a congressional act to make a PBS equivalent of youtube in the future.
I seem to have cured a problem like that in my 20's. With a back inversion machine and twice weekly about 10 minutes only. After half a year, it never come back. Had the problem intermittently for about 3-4 years before. Very painful, stabbing pains in those areas.
BTW - These acetate frame arms can usually be heated carefully with a torch, and bent to straighten them up. Thus making them much longer. Sometimes you can even rebend them farther back. Though straighter arms are somewhat more prone to fall from your face.
Don't your glasses shops make sure to adjust the arms to your size? Mine does, they have a special device that heats up the arms so they can bend it carefully, and pliers to adjust the nose thingies.
A bowl of hot water will usually work to bend acetate frames, but not plastic frames (which cannot be adjusted). Be sure to keep heat away from the lens/coating to avoid crazing.
Is a well nourished elderly study body reflective of the population as a whole? I believe the body is sophisticated enough, that it can, in fact, crave the nutrients, even mineral and vitamin supplements that each individual body, age group, body type, is lacking. We have known for a long time about the bodies seeking out C vitamins particularly on the not too distant long cross sea oceanic voyages of our ancestors. I consider supplementation as dietary. I'm eating something. So those thinking in this light may as well take to banning or regulating the sell of oranges and grapefruit. Also why then are we still supplementing iodine and D vitamins, amongst a few others, if they are all so ineffective? What about gender studies where people seem to inherently seek out more commonly needed nutrients by gender? I do believe there could be some harm in certain nutrients. Study subject probably would quit taking certain combination of vitamins, given if they were not expected to do so, as part of the study. Bad research technique.
You can build generic powerwalls much cheaper. Just search youtube for build your own powerwall. Also, they make much more sense if your using the packs to power assist car engines, where they can payback within a 1-2 years. Of course, this, depending on your driving habits. For solar home system, I think using a bunch of the 250 watt micro inverters with built in grid tie circuits is a more practical system. Batteries are almost an unnecessary step unless your into the whole disaster prep scene. They can sync your panels to the 60hz grid and turn your meter backwards all without anyone having to be involved. Just a much less complicated system to implement and operate.
If it's really that important to be secure, I'd use an electronic password generator fob that intermixed the password list with a universal cosmic radio background radiation signal.
Perhaps he just gave you a one time use password. Or maybe not. I just know, if you want the password delivered in person, only ask for it, in person.
I'd probably rethink the whole system, and not the user.
My issues with the article. First, I didn't know enterprise systems fail so regularly. Really? Where? Who is having these failures so regularly? Secondly, I'm a bit surprised about the 'across the field' statements against relational database engines and the SQL layer. After all, there are so many different implementations. They all work and function quite a bit differently in performance and design. This article sounds like someone who is selling books or perhaps the author is one of the many great corporate management seminar-tarians. A person selling specialized lectures designed to appeal to middle management held at opulent motel conference centers across the land. Oh, I can't wait to get my hands on those croissants and fresh coffee. I'm going to be so smart now.
