Fil-biċċa l-kbira tagħhom jirrigurġitaw affermazzjonijiet pożittivi tas-saħħa medika. Huma wkoll babble fuq dwar “b'saħħithom” ikel u affarijiet li huma tajbin għalik u l “perikli” ta 'kull tip ta' batterji/kimiċi tad-dar komuni u kull ħaġa oħra. B'mod ġenerali xejn apokrifi. Imma mbagħad Dr. Lisa Masterson fetħet ħalqha b’dan il-parir għal nies li qed ifittxu li jieqfu jpejpu (parafrażi mill-memorja) “Tista' tipprova dawn, jissejjaħ sprej EZ-Quit. Huma OMEOPATIKU … Għandek xorta tikkonsulta lit-tabib tiegħek għaliex, inti taf, xi wħud minn dawn l-ingredjenti jistgħu jkunu b'saħħithom”. Il-lista tal-ingredjenti hija “Antimonju mhux raffinat 5C, Caladium seguinum 5C, Injazja 5C, Lobelia inflata 5C, Nux vomica 5C, Tabacum 5-7-9C. Ingredjenti inattivi: Ilma purifikat, alkoħol 20%.” ewwel, ejja nifhmu l- “C” skala tal-kejl tal-qawwa. Potenza 1C hija parti waħda ingredjent dilwit fiha 100 partijiet ilma, a 1:100 proporzjon. Soluzzjoni 5C hija ekwivalenti għal 10^-10 dilwizzjoni tal-qawwa jew .0000000001mg ta' “attiv” ingredjent. Mela tixrob, ikollok bżonn tixrob waħda minn dawn biex tikseb biżżejjed ingredjent attiv: Imma dak huwa l-punt kollu! Fl-omeopatija, il-molekula waħda ta 'ingredjent li tiġi f'kuntatt ma' l-ilma MAĠIKAMENT tagħti s-setgħa tagħha lill-molekuli ta 'l-ilma. Meta mistoqsi jispjega dan, il-biċċa l-kbira tal-omeopati jinvokaw il-mekkanika kwantistika. Tajjeb li tkun taf li huma totalment injoranti tax-xjenza. Il-prinċipju bażiku tal-omeopatija jgħid li l-aktar xi ħaġa dilwita ssir l-AKTAR qawwija. Id-dilwizzjoni standard hija 30C jew 10^-60 , iżda tmur sa 10^-1500. Litteralment ikollok bżonn tikkonsma sfera ta 'ilma daqs is-sistema solari tagħna two biljun darba għal molekula waħda ta' ingredjent. U grazzi lil Alla hemm .0000000001mg ta' Nux vomica fis-soluzzjoni għax dik hija komunement magħrufa bħala strychnine, tossina alkalojde oerhört qawwija b'LD50 ta '10mg. F'dożi ta 'inqas minn 5mg jaġixxi bħala stimulant qawwi u kien użat storikament għall-ikel tal-istonku u anke għad-doping mill-atleti. Strychnine ma ntużatx mill-invenzjoni ta 'mediċini aktar sikuri. L-omeopatija hija assolutament bullshit. M'hemm żero evidenza ta' sostenn, fil-fatt fir-Renju Unit fl-aħħar qablu waqqaf il-finanzjament din il-ġenn; li mhix sorpriża peress li kull persuna intelliġenti li tifhem il-prinċipji veri tal-omeopatija għandha tkun taf aħjar. Attwalment, kull min joħloq mediċina omeopatika li hija ppruvata xjentifikament, jistgħu japplikaw għall- JREF miljun dollaru sfida. Hija xi sorpriża li jibqa' mhux mitlub? dr. Lisa hija diżastru sħiħ u quack. Huwa tal-biża' li taħseb li qed ixerred din l-informazzjoni ħażina fuq it-TV pubbliku, iżda mhux dak kollu sorprendenti. Għandha toħroġ apoloġija għar-rakkomandazzjoni tal-omeopatija u l-bord mediku tal-california għandu jikkunsidra azzjoni dixxiplinarja jew jiġbed il-liċenzja tagħha. Ovvjament dan mhux se jiġri… Imma aħseb dwar il-perikli potenzjali, tikkunsidra l-każ tal-ġenituri li qatlu lil binhom bl-omeopatija.

Talk about animal cruelty! kollox sew, just kidding, but this story is a bit ridiculous. The article states that the scientists had used the voice of Limbaugh because it was “readily available”, not because they hated him. Well that turns out not to be true, they chose Rush because it was the “most annoying sound [huma] could think of”. Not too surprising that the liberal entomology agenda hates Rush (joke), but I know I sure do. If you blared that blabbering buffoon at me for an hour I’d Plath myself. It turns out these guys were on the right path however. While Limbaugh perhaps predictably had no effect on the insects, sounds recorded of the bark beetles did. When recordings of the sounds made of the beetles in their tunnels were fired back into the trees they observed the insects flying into a fury and killing each other. Sounds like it may be a useful tool if they can find a way to deliver this to trees without wiring each one with speakers. I don’t think that blasting these recordings Apocalypse Now style into forests will be plausible or effective so hopefully they can think of something else clever. The story might be amusing but I think does a disservice to their cause in general. Using Rush was nothing but an attempt to grab press, which is clearly working. Would anyone have read a story about bark beetles otherwise? I probably wouldn’t have even given it a look. In the end the takeaway story for me is that I think to myself “interesting, they found a potentially useful tool against bark beetles”. But to the less science literate or politically motivated they likely think “kbira, more liberal scientists wasting our tax dollars playing music to beetles”. We already know what republicans think about science. Please, let’s not throw more fodder into the backwards minds of the anti-science republican agenda (kollox sew, admittedly, fundamental republican fiscal policy is something I can understand… but they are a pack of morons the rest of the time). I don’t believe that Limbaugh has commented on this specific story, but is it difficult to imagine what he has to say? Share dan!Rivers Cuomo kitbitli kanzunetta.

Meta trabba dejjem kelli lil xi ħadd jagħtini xi oġġett kitsch bl-insetti fuqhom, anke karti tal-logħob. Ukoll anke s-sena l-oħra sibt ingravata oħra b'tema ta 'insetti. (I don’t have the whimsey of PZ Myers and his awesome tie.) Imma, they were all printed images of course. New this year from Upper Deck, entomology cards! If you scroll down the page you notice something striking – they aren’t pictures, but actual insects. Here is an image from the link above:
Ara naqra- and follow this link to Facebook to see more of what is to come. I guess these are a modern version of the “tobacco card”, which was an extra collectors card inserted into regular card packs. Last year the company passed out redemption cards that would allow it to be returned for the real thing seen above. According to ESPN, these cards are going for over $100 to people who have no idea what insect they may get. A quick look on e-bay found one currently bid to $87.00. Go figure. In all, Upper Deck plans to release 30 different types of insects. On the back of each card there is an old-timey “range map” and short blurb about the insect. They are also “certified” as being genuine, whatever that means. Do they have a taxonomist consulting? I bet my hourly rates would be less than whoever they have now… The butterfly ones crack me up, they are just closed specimens laid on their side. I would think a spread specimen would be more appealing, but maybe no one at Upper Deck realizes this is how they should be prepared. Whoever is giving them their mantids though are taking lots of time to make them look fancy. I really wonder how many of these are being made, obviously this could not be sustained in any large number. I guess in the end this makes a very interesting conversation starter among people who might never look twice at an insect, and especially as something collectible. I wonder what PETA thinks… kollox sew, we know that much already. Share dan!I sab dan article today and it put a smile on my face. A riċerkatur malarja jivvjaġġaw sab “Repeller nemus elettroniċi” għall-bejgħ fil-katalogu fl-titjira tiegħu. Li raġel intelliġenti, induna dan kien totali u BS utter. He also realized this product probably sells best while in-route to malaria ridden countries; and that there were naive tourists walking around with $23 worthless pieces of crap on their belts feeling protected. The airline, KLM, had likely been selling the item with no second though whatsoever, just part of the standard issue crap-on-a-plane shopping selection. So as soon as Bart Knol returned home he began to dig deeper. He contacted KLM and tried to figure out why they were selling this item. Politely, the airline offered a response from the manufacturer backing up the efficacy of the device – and stated that they sell over 1,000 a month. Clearly that couldn’t be acceptable – in fact there has been research conducted to test just this sort of machine – all of which showed zero effect. Again Knol informed KLM of this fact, with evidence in hand, and received a surprising reply. “The product will no longer be for sale on KLM aircraft from March onwards“. Son-of-a-bitch. He confronted a company that was selling a scientifically falsified device. Instead of blowing this scientist off – they looked at the evidence – and acted logically. Within 2 months Knol had KLM pulling the product from its shelves. The airline should give Knol a lifetime supply of vouchers for his suggestion. Imagine if you will: a gullible tourist headed to Africa for your first safari. Wanting desperately to avoid the sometimes horrible side effects of anti-malaria medication they see this miracle product that will keep them safe instead. ukoll, the product failed to work, and he contracts malaria while running from elephants in Kenya. Attempts to sue the company failed since they were based in Sri Lanka – but not to worry, KLM has vast and deep pockets. 10,000,000 euro later, KLM pulls the product form the shelf and the dead tourists kids replace everything they own with gold. But no, minflok, a vigilant skeptic stepped up and saved the day! Thanks for your skepticism Knol, you get a high-five. The action he took provided KLM with evidence they were conducting a wrongdoing. Had the airline been sued in the future and this prior knowledge had come to light, they would have lost. I wish KLM could appreciate it just as much as I do, but at least they took the proper action. Fly KLM. It’s always nice to see a story like this because this is certainly not how things usually happen. Take for instance the “dowsing for bombs” scandal brought to our attention by the JREF. I guess it’s a bit difficult to call it a scandal because the press only briefly covered it here in the US. Quickly: A British based company was selling dowsing rods, that consisted of nothing more than metal rods and handles, as bomb, gun, knife, drug and even body detectors. The major buyer was the Iraqi government in around tens of millions of dollars. People bet their life on this machine; and it failed, 100% of the time. Even today the Iraqis swear by this device. But let’s not forget the history of this detector, which is basically the same as the “Quadro Tracker” bought by OUR government in the late 90’s. At least in the QT issue we only purchased 1,000 units and quickly tested them to discover the fraud. The result – the FBI issued a warning against it. The company promptly picked up shop and moved to the UK to re-invent this device sold to Iraq (amongst other countries). Thankfully the scammer, Jim McCormick, was recently arrested in Britain for fraud and the item has been banned for export. Go find your own MozStopi, Pest Repellers, SunBeams and SOLAR powered mosquito repellers (hey you can be green while being a sucker) and take that store to task! Serjament, this crap is everywhere and it’s 100% fraud.
