I'm not sure when I was first told, and I'm unsure how the right way is. For me it was always a story used to explain away her erratic behavior mostly due to when her brain medication, dilantin, stopped working when I was 5. Most of the details came from her twin brother, and her mother who was the anesthetist nurse at the hospital that treated her.
If it wasn't for CPR starting to catch on I wouldn't even exist. April 16, 1963 a man left what is now the Idaho Nuclear Laboratory where he had been training people on CPR before the push in the 70's for it to be main stream. Because of poor funding of education my mother, 9, was on a crowded school bus when the emergency door popped open. She fell from the bus, and died when she hit the pavement at 35 mph. That man wasn't too far behind the bus, and was able to perform CPR to keep her heart going until the ambulance was able to arrive.
They're comparing the small period of time where they've been turning off the lights due to budget cuts to 14 years of times where they haven't. Just because one half of the equation has enough data to analyse doesn't mean you have enough data to compare.
The lack of accidents and crime are more likely related to a general trend in crime going down from before they started turning off the lights. Accounting for that is very difficult, and is more likely to get someone to weight the data to make it say what they want it to say, and not the truth. 6 deaths is also far too few to start drawing statistical meaning ether. Give me at least one full year worth of data so I can compare it to the prior year, and have half of the country keep their lights on so It can be compared to the same time frame as well. They wouldn't be perfect, but better than what both sides have given.
If it's close enough a tazer might work. Paint ball gun may work, and avoid some of the firearm laws for firing in city limits. If this were Idaho the drone pilot violated several peeping laws. He should be worried about being raided by the police. They should be working up a warrant to collect his video footage. It's reasonable to assume that he was spying on the girls since it flew off when they waved to it. At that point he could be the latest incarnation of a peeping tom, and if he has video of anyone in a state of undress when they have the reasonable expectation of privacy he could be in a lot of trouble.
I'm willing to give Venus the title of Earth Sized. It's 80% the mass of the Earth, and roughly the same diameter. Plus or minus 20 percent of the earths mass and size sure. 60% is not in the right ball park yet. It would be ok to say this is the closest to earth sized but not earth sized.
China has a much larger advantage by using a large team. I'm surprised the Math Olympiad doesn't have a restriction for max size and minimum size. If one member of the China team feels a little off there's a fair number of competent alternates. The US team only has 6, and that's the primary reason the US looses. I'd qualify it as a form of cheating, but we won even with the disadvantage.
The NOAA data which I believe already has the USCRN in it works just fine if you know what you're doing. A simple graph of all the stations that existed form 1900 to present shows exactly what's going on. I'd doubt any dataset that didn't show some warming since 1980 to present. Most of it is due to the Atlantic Multi-decade Oscillation cycle, but knowing exactly what the cycle is going to do next would require an accurate dataset of 600 to 1000 years which doesn't exist, and probably can't exist since one major volcano could seriously mess with it on that time scale.
The explanation removing the global warming pause was in utter contradiction with the rational explanation given just a few years earlier. In the unweighted data-set from NOAA I can actually see the effect of a volcano going off so I'll buy that the Pause was more than likely volcano's altering the temperature. But in the statistical black magic weighted dataset those effect are magically gone. However, it still doesn't change they said they used 4 datasets and even in their appendix on 233 there isn't a link the the direct data just summary 14 different summarys of data.
Sorry but the GHCN data doesn't cover a large enough time frame to make the claim that 2014 was the hottest. Of the station data between 1900 and 2014 only North America is really accounted for. To cover a larger area you have to shrink the time frame down, and if it's that 2014 is the hottest on record since 1970 I don't really care.
I assume that one of the 4 datasets they used was NOAA's but does anyone happen to know were the other 3 are? It probably has to do with how they weighted it, but NOAAs shows that 2012 was the hottest for north america with about 1.5 of C above normal, followed by the 30's.
A lot of that has been mitigated by not giving each cell phone it's own public IP4 address. If cell phones hadn't shifted over to IPv6 we'd be in a world of hurt right now.
I don't quite get the point of the survey. There have always been gaps between scientists and the general public and always will be just as there are gaps between any sub group and the whole and ALWAYS will be.
It's an ad populum argument, and appeal to authority in survey form. Rather than waist time trying to construct a valid argument just state a majority of experts believe different than you. You should change to match these experts. Useful of backing up bad arguments, and to inform politicians how to pander to the largest group.
My Disgea games without DLC have just about the same unlocks on the PS3 as they did on the PS2. They do have lots of meaningless DLC that is easily ignored. I've never once felt I needed to buy any of it. As for Gust they were Merged with their Parent company, and they have continued to do work on their existing franchises, and their latest release Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book has yet to be canceled, and didn't stop Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea which was released after that merger announcement last year so you're doom and gloom is probably just an american misunderstanding Japans weird business structure.
Cheaper, and the digital version of the Atleir series is spotty at best. I also like the Music tracks on the limited editions when they are available. Also I believe in the Right of First Sale, and like to lend my brothers the games when I'm done if they're interested. Can't really do that with digital legally, but with the physical copy I can legally sell, lend, or give away if I don't like it. Kinda stuck with it if the game is shown to be utter nonsense if it takes over two hours on steam to figure that out. I refuse to buy digital if I'm not absolutely sure I will like it.
Winners? Pre-Ordering is almost always bad, but the one case where I view it as usually necessary is when I want a physical copy of a game that is in limited release. Nearly all NIS and Gust games are in limited release. Which isn't surprising because they have a small but dedicated fan base. If I wait and don't show up and get one of those limited copies I'll end up having to travel 100 miles to get a copy because I waited for the price drops. Buy digital will be your next claim, but the last time I missed set of 3 titles the first Title was no longer available for digital purchase. Luckily I was able to find that one close by, the second one was still available for digital sale, or I could go 100 miles to go get it so I did go digital in that case because the cost saving of the physical copy was canceled out by the trip. The 3rd title I just got at full new release price because I'm not going to go on a quest for finding a limited release game again just to save a few bucks. Stupid Atelier Fetch Quests suck. Your method only works on Triple A titles that are over produced to kill the used market value.
Sorry, but we seem to be able to get together and panic about the most absurd gravest threats that I don't buy it. You want a large group of humans to work together, and blindly correct everyone else around us look no further than religion. A contrived threat to the whole of humanity can convince many people to get up and do something about it. Maybe it's that your side rejected Religion as a part of social evolution, and can't figure out how it motivates people to leverage it in your arguments.
And I suppose putting up a sign the "Blacks may not be served here" is still legal in the US? Facebook may has well have a "Sikh may not be served here" on their home page. Freedom of Speech and the right to association gets muddy once you start using Civil Rights laws.
Unless you'd care to present your genetic research which demonstrates that black women are rendered incapable of understanding math and science by some inherent biological or genetic flaw?
I would only need to present the number of black women taking the courses needed for the field compared to the total. It doesn't matter if they are perfectly capably of doing the job if they were educated in it if they aren't getting the education in the right fields. However, the stats show they avoid engineering degrees like the plague and swarm sociology like it were the second coming.
Ah, Thalidomide, and its Babies. The Cure All that comes with birth defects that have a 40% survival rate. Great for some cancer not so great for the anxiety, insomnia, and tension that it was originally pushed for.
Hard? Here's an easy way to identify the clear crap. If the N is less than 30 the result, and conclusions should be ignored as more likely a random effect due to small sample size. Sure the actual number is usually much larger depending on what the magic formulas pop out, but the number of studies that I come across that make claims, and draw conclusions when there same size is less than 30 is absurd. That might be ok for a college paper that's not being scored on the result, but whether or not they can actually run a study, and if they had the half a million to do a properly sized study will they do quality work. It's not good for anything other than the pitch for a legitimately sized study.
True, we tried to build in obsolescence with two digit dates to force the banks to upgrade by 2000, and they rather liked forcing COBOL programmers back in at a premium to fix the issue. Even the screams of a coming apocalypse couldn't get rid of it.
They'll come out ahead in Tax, and much Further Behind in fuel costs. I also don't see how this can be implemented in a way that doesn't enable people to cheat even more than they do now.
