It would make sense I suppose... but I guess we need solid studies on it. One think is for sure though... the use of anti inflammatory analgesics works to reduce the pain from head aches. I thought these worked by reducing inflammation and thus pressure in an area rather than targeting pain receptors. If that is the case, would it not suggest that pressure can play some part in the cause? Or maybe that the whatever the cause was has resulted in some inflammation or increased pressure in an area in the brain? (I am sure there are many different causes and types of head ache though - bought on for a variety of reasons).

That stuff about the goatsbeards is fascinating. It is a wonder how it happens at all.... but there it is - happening before our very eyes. Amazing - I'll read the other articles when I have more time.

"not entirely wrong" I kind of liked that also.. "make up new types of energy" Basically - if energy has disappeared... it has to have gone somewhere, so you need to work out where it has gone. If that means realising that some is lost in sound waves or as heat through friction/drag or whatever, it needs accounting for.

Quote: "have to be careful the ... reflection is from the object of interest" I used to use a laser range finder for golf and yes, you have to have a steady hand to avoid getting a range from the trees in the background... You can quickly check this though by aiming at the large target in the background so you know if your measurement to the flag is the same you have missed it and actually hit the background.

Yea I know - lol - that's why I gave him +1 for his post. Just saying it is probably genetic as the men on my mothers side are mainly bald and on my father's side they kept their hair and it didn't go grey until very late in life..... I'm hoping that I get the genes that mean I live to a ripe old age - even though I smoke a bit.. :-/ again - father's side - smokers to old age, mother's side - smokers died of cancer way too young!

hmm - my life has been quite 'interesting' too... but I have thick hair and none of it is grey. I think it is genetic as on my fathers side all the males (that I can remember and that are close in relation - i.e. my father, Grand father, greatgrandfather and some uncles never went bald. My Grandad had thick hair and only really started going grey slightly in his late 70's and through his 80's. His hair was pretty grey when he died at 92, but at 74 he still had dark hair. (I have started getting grey bits in my beard and on other parts of my body though... nasal hair and some of my eye brows are starting to get the odd grey hair, but only the odd one.... which I usually remove).

Studying it and believing every word of it are 2 different things.

As long as they aren't multiplying, or you'd be loosing control... be careful if this is the case as I think they can then be electrifying... and then it's like ' oo, oo, ooo'.

I have worked in a job where you can receive tips. It was a caddying job where we acted as caddies for the local members and were also a bit like tour guides to the foreign visitors. The BEST tippers that regularly proved their great reputation for tipping well were the Americans. Definitely the best tippers! They were also some of the nicer people to caddy for - probably because they were on holiday/vacation and wanted to have a good time - so they would mess about more and engage in banter and conversation more. Building a rapport worked well with them too and usually got us higher tips. Some guys from the USA actually tipped in multiple amounts of what the going rate for a round was too. This was awesome... one guy paid me (asking how much it was per round) and I hadn't even caddied for him - I had carried his mate's clubs round, but had given him a couple of tips and found his ball a couple of times... I told he didn't need to pay me, but he insisted! More Americans please! The worst (Sorry but it was true in my experience) were the Scotts... twice I have built a great rapport with the player and they played really well and won money... when they paid they gave me a large wad of notes! When I got back to my car to check the notes (Impolite to do it in front of them) it was a 20 wrapped around a load of 5s and just covered the going rate for a round with no tip... I guess people from different countries get reputations for a reason. (the Japanese run a very close second - no tips at all, but very courteous... and at least they don't pretend to give you a tip lol.)

Well congratulations... I hope you enjoy the course! Is it a taught Masters or a research based one? Either way it sounds like a super title for a course or research and I hope you enjoy it immensely and learn a lot. Also... FLORIDA!!! I am envious! lol. (looking back it does say in your OP that you have been admitted, but I thought you were still looking about or was unsure - definitely go to Florida! lol). Best Wishes! P.

What is your current level of education? I take it you already have a degree or you wouldn't be talking about post grad courses like Ph.D.s and Masters programs. You might find that you are already qualified enough to get a research job. You will probably learn on the job anyway and will have to follow the lines of investigation the team or project leaders and group managers want you to go in anyway. Why not look at some job vacancies that interest you and see what they are asking for in the way of education and degree choices?

it was a UN resolution I think... not that anyone ever seems to take any notice of the UN. Here is an article - it isn't really my field, but it seems like a good idea. Making it a percentage takes away any claim of one country giving more than another or anything like that - it' just seems fair. Not many have reached the target yet - but more are getting closer to it and holding to their pledges of achieving it eventually. http://devinit.org/post/0-7-aid-target-2/ "The US stated that it did not subscribe to specific targets or timetables, although it supported the resolution’s more general aims."

Not as a percentage of the GDP you don't - we all pledged back in the 70's to try to make our donations internationally total 0.7% of GDP... although the USA does give some of the most money oversees, it is still (as of 2015) only giving 0,2%. A fair few European countries have reached their 0.7% commitments already, so you are in fact lagging behind in this plan to increase international spending. I think the UK has only just raised it's donations to 0.7%... it was increasing yearly until the agreed target was reached.

Nothing like that has ever been noted as anything but a fairytale. It is easy to create such an illusion with simple magicians tricks... not one has ever seen anything like that happen out side of a magic show or an asylum. It's total BS - Be honest to yourself... how many of these miracles have you seen with your own eyes that can't be explained beyond coincidence? Be honest and true to yourself - you have seen NOTHING of this sort of miracle. Stop lying to yourself.... ironically it breaks one of the 10 commandments. Bear no false witness.

Real - it has been tested for and detected in actually real life experiments that were designed to look for it. How can you take a picture of it? You KNOW for sure that is impossible and you were told above it was impossible. Do you actually have any scientific background at all? Like - where did you do your degree and post grad work?

That's cool - we are just saying a group of girls from your class that have seen 2 pics is not a complete scientific study and may contain biases - so take your findings with a pinch of salt. PS - my rant about social pressures and making others ashamed of their bodies because they are different is true though. To say someone else's body part looks disgusting (which you did earlier) can lead to that person feeling really depressed... so much so that they might be having thoughts about mutilating their own body just to fit in - which I think is wrong.

Ask here where she got her biology degree.

I thought birds just had little holes... I'll have to look that up again when I get home - I probably shouldn't go searching for penises on the internet while I am here at work.

Well that would be obvious then - you wouldn't expect the natural one to look the same as the isolated ingredient. It is full of impurities and all manner of other stuff. lol. I wonder what they will make of the pure vit C sample being an 'organic' molecule. At the end of the day - maybe there is more goodness in the fruit due to their being more stuff in it... it isn't extra vit C though - it will be a number of other things with it.

I hope it IS a chromatograph - then you can troll then with how much purer the isolated substance is over the natural one. lol. ;-)

What did they detect then? Who do you think is most qualified to trawl through the complex data they recovered to ascertain if it was boson or not?

Well it clearly can't be a microscopic picture of a cell or a molecule... so is it a picture of the substance dripped onto a piece of chromatic plate? Maybe it has spread from the centre showing components? If so then, as you would expect, there is more in the plant extract than in the purer synthesised stuff.... lol - could it then be argued that the synthetic stuff is actually in a purer form than the natural one. lol - that will go down well. Although I am just guessing here. Maybe it is worth asking the OP what the pictures are actually off? PS - Unity beat me to the reply and has actually looked the pics up... are we sure it isn't a chromatograph though?

I think it is the potential of a body to do work. Types include Kinetic energy, potential energy, heat energy (which is sort of kinetic energy at the molecular level).. A wave is not energy but will have energy based on what it is and how fast it is propagating. Other thoughts are that it is always conserved... if you end up with less energy in a system after an event then it has been lost somewhere, even if you can't account for it, it went somewhere in the form of heat, sound, direction change etc..
