I'll go one step further. Some problems can be solved only by throwing money at them. Poverty, for example. There is provably no other way to solve poverty. Indeed, it is tautologically so....
We've been trying that since Johnson's "Great Society's War on Poverty" in 1964 and it hasn't worked yet, in fact it seems to be a supply and demand thing, as the Supply of welfare money increased the Demand of the impoverished increased to match. You would have thought that after 47 years the war would have been won.
Well if it was military, the date on an "inspection" sticker would more likely be in military Julian date first digit would be the year, 1 one since it's 2011 and the number of days in the year and the 10 of Aug would be the 222th day of 2011 so 10 Aug 2011 would be written as 1222. Most components are periodically inspected so if something needs re-inspection every 0 or 180 days, using day number dates make the arithmetic trivial. 8/10/11 is definitely civilian style dating. Of course writing 1222 would have been to obtuse to mean
The term 'the 10th of August' is widely used by historians as a shorthand for the Storming of the Tuileries Palace on the 10th of August, 1792, the effective end of the French monarchy until it is restored in 1814. August 10
Muslims and Arab Muslims in particular, and Al Queda especially like to use dates to send hidden messages. We've pretty much got the head chopped off the Al Queda snake maybe be we're delivering that message.
The actual problem with stunted root development is that the dead roots from the previous seasons are near the soil surface and are only adding organic matter to a thin top soil that's more vulnerable to erosion. The Farmers in my area actually are doing a pretty good job soil wise, one season they grow corn and fertilize lightly with anhydrous ammonia, next season is winter wheat, which is already harvested the ground is limed and then subsoiled and left fallow for green manure, next beans, either navy or soy which builds up the nitrogen in the soil and then back to corn; a few are even trying no-till on limited acreage. Top soil depth is running over 9 inches on commercial fields.
Studies have been conducted that show the toxoplasmosis parasite may affect behavior and may present as or be a causative or contributory factor in various psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia.[10][11][12] In 11 of 19 scientific studies, T. gondii antibody levels were found to be significantly higher in individuals affected by first-incidence schizophrenia than in unaffected persons. Individuals with schizophrenia are also more likely to report a clinical history of toxoplasmosis than those in the general population.[13] Recent work at the University of Leeds has found that the parasite produces an enzyme with tyrosine hydroxylase and phenylalanine hydroxylase activity. This enzyme may contribute to the behavioral changes observed in toxoplasmosis by altering the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sociability, attention, motivation and sleep patterns. Schizophrenia has long been linked to dopamine dysregulation.[14] Toxoplasmosis
Artificial Fertilizers tend to distort the natural soil microbiology, and cause stunted root development so i guess the answer is yes; BigMacs tend to make you gassy and ADD. Don't get me wrong, I like a Big Mac every once in a while even considering it's not the healthiest meal, balance and moderation is the key.
I have to disagree about using DC, theoretically it shouldn't matter, but practically, most don't have bridge rectifiers with enough capacity to run the diodes at 100% duty cycle.
Ive seen a brick veneered, concrete building that had a large trash dumpster thrown through the third story wall, try and engineer for events like that!
Well since flooding is the major concern, being in the basement might not be the optimum place for safety. Being in an 8 foot deep basement with a blocked exit would really suck when the storm surge 12 feet.
It's not New York. It's DC. It's a sign somebody is unhappy with what's going on there.
New York and the rest of the eastern seaboard is just collateral damage.
Silly boy when you say "somebody is unhappy" it implies that most are happy,yet the reality is everybody is unhappy with whats going on in DC, in fact the word unhappy is probably sugar-coating the real sentiment. Now if by somebody is unhappy you mean God is unhappy, then he should just take on of the big rocks out there in space and drop it smack dab on the boil on the ass of America and be done with it.
Simon Baron-Cohen has both a Master of Philosophy, MPhil and a Doctor of Philosophy, Ph D., so that's a lot of philosophy. Actually all scientist were once referred to as natural philosophers, no scientist could get very far without philosophical disciplines like Epistomology and Logic.
RESULTS: Between 12 and 17 mothers from the different groups accepted to participate, both groups of mothers of Somali origin had significantly lower values of 25-hydroxyvitamin D compared with Swedish mothers. The difference of 25-hydroxyvitamin D between mothers of Somali origin with and without a child with autism was not significant.
it's interesting that the Somali language has no word for autism, they call it the American disease, but I don't think there will ever be a "The Cause" with autism spectrum disorders. I'm not even sure that autism is even a single condition the diagnostic criteria is way too subjective for a Dx to be considered a litmus test. But one thing about Vit D, it's plausible that a deficiency of it could have pushed a few individuals over an edge, it's cheap and very non-toxic so why not?
I agree it's better to think in terms of cryptographically erased meaning the cost of retrieval exceeds the value of the data. If the NSA gets a hard-on for you, they'll get your data one way or an other; it's not good being low-hanging fruit, but it's not good being at the top of a tree being cut down either.
He shredded the files, a software program that erases the file then overwrites the space the file occupied with various patterns of bits making the original file cryptographically erased.
Right now the MMJ community is getting hot and heavy into developing cultivars that are optimized for specific purposes, some are better for pain management, others for nausea control during chemo or gastro intestinal distress. Now it will be a matter for "Big Pharma" to figure out which genes make which canibiods and which ones do what, then GMO patentable plants to produce what they want.
Want to bet that the car that wouldn't start because it senses your too tired to drive, wouldn't call your wife to cancel your date-night after working a 70 hr week either.
In most jurisdictions it's the secret recording of audio, that's illegal, not the recording of video; so technically it's OK to video the Cops or anyone else beating the shit out of someone as long as you can't hear the cops or anyone else swearing at the victim while they are doing it. Personally I think recording the audio and video of a public servant, serving the public in public can hardly be considered being a secret activity; as they say if your not doing anything wrong why would you object being recorded, searched or whatever, especially by the people who pay your salary.
So leave this discussion to people who have a clue and go back to listening to Fox News, the comforting blanket of ignorance. -- Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
It's getting to the point where Fox News deserves its own corollary of Goodwin's law ; OBTW your sig doesn't seem to match your comment.
Well the other thing that smells fishy is they were talking about a 250 Mw reactor for a car, a 250Kw reactor would put out 335 HP which is on the robust end of car power range, 250 Mw is on the skinny end of Aircraft Carrier range. 250Mw would power about 17,000 homes.
227kg, 250MW thorium engine in order to power a typical road car. Within that system 1 gram of thorium produces the equivalent of 7,500 gallons of gasoline. So if you fit the Thorium engine with 8 grams of Thorium, 8 grams of thorium could replace gasoline in cars
a 499.4 lbs. thorium engine generates 250MWs or 33,512.06434325 HP, we should be able to pull a freight train with this "car" engine!
This thorium reactor for a car is rated at 250MW, which works out to 33,512 HP electric, you'll need two mouses per tire to out scream that; so either somebody slipped a couple decimal points or this thingy is going to be less that 1% efficient at converting thermal HP into draw-bar horse power.

What are the grades measuring if not skills?
The ability of the students to give the answers the system wants to see.

Sure they can, turkey basters!
