It is not so much a concern what google is canceling... but what they put life in the first place, e.g. GoogleTalk and then Hangouts... not even having a native hangouts client for macs but need to run it as a Chrome plugin, that sucks so big time... Seems the internet is only used by idiots in our times, and a "power user" has to cry every 5 minutes about their stupidity.
The "spots" are usually areas. And not just a single spot. On the other hand there are hundreds of spots for the same symptoms or treatment. One school uses more of that kind and another school ore of the other kind.
But would be interesting to hear her success stories, or failures.
There was actually an accident in the early 90s when a group of (american) soldiers where killed by a wrong configured radar system. Don't find a link for that, but I found this: https://www.independent.co.uk/...
I get nearly no adds at all... But I take my time to click on the menu associated with adds and chose 'not interested'... e.g. for bands and travel destinations or hotels I never willl visit.
Because it's easy for people like me to fight with insurance companies who don't want to give me stims because I'm over 18, thus my capacity to outperform the shit out of everyone around me by being on enormous loads of Methylphenidate all through grade school can continue into college.
but why would you need to outperform anyone?
If all students pass the test with 100% score... all get best grade.
If you have a standard distribution, everyone gets the grade he deserves, no matter what your grade is... at least it should not matter for the others what your grade is.
it should be possible to take people with various symptoms who are unfamiliar with acupuncture, They usually don't want to be treated/tested that way.
and train someone how to stick pins in who doesn't know where the points are. It is not that easy, how do you find the correct point if you are only "trained" for an experiment?
You could mark three spots on the test subject of course, and let the tester pick one by random.
But the "fake" account has no friends, so if I use it to log into a web site they have no access to my friend list. That is the only point for having it.
It'd be interesting to see what affect going to bed at a decent time has on things too. Well, the first effect is: you have no social life as others stay up till 12:00AM The second effect is: you lay awake in the bed until it is about 2:00AM, could as well have stayed with your friends up. The third effect is: you wake up at 4:30AM and are still tired and try to fall asleep again. The fourth effect is, you either: a) manage to be out of bed at 7:00 and in school at 8:00 and then sleep the first two hours through classes b) you don't mange to be in school at 8:00 because you finally found sleep, but now have to explain why you missed classes
However if you need a body guard from 4:00PM till 6:00AM, no problem, that are my prime hours.
The problem already starts in the first classes of school. Germany e.g. is loathed for having absurdly early school start hours for 6 year old kids.
The main conclusion is: only idiots who like to wake up at 6:00 and finish work at 12PM become first grade school teachers. And they lobby so much that school starting time for little kids is so early that half of them struggle to learn the most basic things.
I as an adult like to sleep till about 9:00 (winter longer)... if I had a kid that has to be at school at 8:00 and I need to prepare it by waking up 6:30... I likely would commit suicide. That is basically the main reason why I have no kids.
Once accepted into university a person should be able to study at normal times of the day all over a week. And why would that be?
Of course you can have a dictatorship where you declare only people who wake up at 6:00 and manage to attend the 8:00 class can go to university.
But you can not have a dictatorship where people who are unable to wake up before 9:00 attend an 8:00 class and expect them to perform in any reasonable way.
It is not true that you can not speak your mind in europe. It is not true that you can get put into prison in the UK because of political believes. So: the GP is an idiot.
The points simply get names. E.g. if you look at a 'reflex zone map' of your foot, you see it is organized like a cut up body. Liver at some point, stomach anove, then the heart, lungs around it etc. But it does not mean that stimulating the liver point improves the liver function. It basically is a simple mapping method to allow teaching and memorizing. If you want to know when and for what to massage the liver point, you have to google for that. I guess one thing are sleeping problems, but not sure. I only know the very basics of all those things, I'm not a 'healing practitioner'.
People who receive acupuncture usually know enough about it, to know if the needle is close enough to the point or far off. So no, I don't think that your way of 'doing a double blind study' works.
Pain control is difficult to evaluate, since pain is self-reported, and it's not possible to do a blind test with the control group This is bssically true for all acupuncture treatments. It is impossible to set up a decent control group.
Anyway, instead of hunting examplrs of studies that try to disprov its effectiveness, why not simply read a bit about it and find some studies that support it?
I had two FB accounts, one my real name, but there are dozens of people with the same name, and one with my pen name, which I only use to log on sites that require an FB account to log in.
The UK just imprisoned a US Traveler for 3 days just because they didn't like his/her political beliefs. Europe is worse, who knows what laws I might break by speaking my mind? You are an idiot...

Seems the internet is only used by idiots in our times, and a "power user" has to cry every 5 minutes about their stupidity.
But they don't have to little energy to break chemical bonds, how did you come to that idea?
We know that since around 1994 ...
That is what I wrote in a different post.

Of course we have AIs, however the trend to call everything an AI is indeed quite annoying.
I wonder more why they put a "driver" behind the wheel who obviously was neither qualified nor paying attention.
Yeah,

Funny that copper is actually faster than fiber ...
Anyway, as I that for most practical purpose that is irrelevant.
it should be possible to take people with various symptoms who are unfamiliar with acupuncture,

And what would be the "advantage"?
Well, this cold up north thing is changing rapidly.
At Christmass the north pole had +9C.
The problem already starts in the first classes of school.

Yes, you have a study in reaction time of drivers supporting your argument.
And I drive since 30 years.
If my reaction time was 3 seconds I probably had caused a dozen of deaths and killed myself even more often.
Regardless what you think: 3 seconds reaction time makes absolutely no sense at all.
Perhaps you never counted seconds?
You would not even be able to stop in front of a red light in time if you needed 3 seconds to realize and react that the light has switched,

So no, I don't think that your way of 'doing a double blind study' works.

I mean: in case you are interested in the topic.
I had two FB accounts, one my real name, but there are dozens of people with the same name, and one with my pen name, which I only use to log on sites that require an FB account to log in.
I guess I have a few dozen foes :)
But I keep them close, hehe!
Signals in copper and fiber do not travel at light speed (in a vacuum). Radio signals in space do.
However the differencce is neglectible.
