But how goo stanley tumblr d are those recommendations Reporting in the BMJ, Canadian researchers analyzed two medical TV talk showsmdash;The Dr. Oz Show and The Doctorsmdash;and found that only 46% of the recommendations on The Dr. Oz Show and 63% on The Doctors were supported by evidence. 15% of advice given on Oz and 14% of advice on The Doctors contradicted the available published evidence in journals.The bottom line message is for people to be really skeptical about the recommendations made on these medical television shows, says study co-author Christina Korowynk, associate professor of family medicine at the University of Alberta. They should look for more balanced information to be presented, and understand that they need all of that information in order to make an informed decision.They measured 80 major recommendations made on the two shows from January to May 2013 against evidence gleaned from published studies in medical databases.

Wmtc Arrow Does the One Thing None of Us Thought It Would Do
EPA chief, climate denier and oil shill Scott Pruitt has reportedly allotted thousands to preventing leaks from the Environmental Protection Agency, including $3,000 spent to sweep his office for recording bugs. Known for his fiercely frugal stance on government adidas samba damen spending, Pruitts counter-surveillance measures since his confirmation in January also include a 24-hour security detail, costing upwards of $800,0 adidas samba 00, biometric locks costing $6,000, and a soundproof phone booth for classified phone calls, costing $25,000. As first reported by The Hill, leaked documents reveal the EPA paid $3,000 to Edwin Steinmetz Associates to search Pruitts office for covert/illegal surveillance devices in March, only two months after his confirmation. Mirroring Donald Trumps presidency, Pruitts term as EPA administrator has largely been defined by a belief that, under Obama, the agency massively overstepped its bounds when creating environmental reg air max 1 ulation. To counter this overreach, Pruitt supports both regulatory rollback and massive cuts to the agencys budget, setting a back-to-basics agenda for the agency. His belief that the EPA needs to cut down on spending, however, is contrasted by an unprecedented apparent need for security. In July, Huffington Post uncovered Pruitt spent $830,000 on a 10-man, round-the-clock security detail, a first for any EPA administrator.

Facebook has rescinded its block on searches for Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenaged gunman who killed two and wounded another with an AR-15-style rifle during Black Lives Matter protests and civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in Au air max plus gust 2020. The decision comes after Rittenhouse was found not guilty of two counts of murder and one charge of attempted homicide. Rittenhouse will also be allowed back on Facebook and its sister company Instagram. Facebook didnt prohibit users from mentioning Rittenhouse or discussing the trial, but it did block searches for his name and banned his accounts, citing a policy on mass shooters. Brian Fishman, then Facebooks director for counterterrorism and dangerous organizatio adidas campus ns, also tweeted the network would remove praise for Rittenhouses actions and said the company had designated the shooting as a mass murder. The decision made sense, as Rittenhouse had just shot several people at a protest.

Yesterday we designated the shooting as a mass murder and removed the shooters accounts from Facebook Instagram.

Want a drone to fly longer and farther Give it a bigger battery. But that adds weight, which in turn reduces the drones flight time. Its quite a conundrum. It seems like an unresolvable catch-twenty-two, except that someone has finally found a way to use wireless power to keep a drone flying. Dr. Samer Aldhaher, of the Imperial College London, created this simple demonstration of a lightweight battery-less drone hovering in place, powered only by the wireless power transmitter beneath it.
