The only conspiracy is by practitioners and sellers of "alternative medicine" to convince people that they are the good guys in a moral war against science. The truth is that "Big Pharma" is a for-profit industry that still is designed to profit off of the best available treatments and, hopefully, the widest range of cures. Whichever company holds the patent on a cure -- and don't buy into that "if it is natural there can be no patent" argument, which is complete nonesense -- that company will make enormous profits. Why? Because a cure will get 100% of the niche business on that illness. And every disease that cannot be wiped out through vaccines will continue to plague a population, so the cure does not necessarily make it go away. And if it is a vaccine, then it needs to be administered to new patients every year. These are all good things for the population, and really good things for "Big Pharma."As an aside, I've seen internal documents discussing clinical trials for a range of conditions/diseases that have balanced cost vs promise. In EVERY SINGLE CASE, the analysis broke down to the simple notion of whether there was enough evidence to suggest that the drugs could work better than what is already on the market. Every time that promise for improvement was shown, the trials were recommended. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Not once could I find a reference to the cost being the determining factor, nor the potential profit. Yes, those things were evaluated, but this came down to a "which of these comparable treatments should we try first" argument, inevitably based on which one was more likely to be successful from previous lab studies or earlier trials. We may not have the best system in place with for-profit industries running the lion's share of studies in this regard, but we owe many important advancements in science and health to Big Pharma. (On the other hand, we also have them to thank for artificial sweeteners... But THAT is a whole other story.)
A research team conducted a study showing that approximately 15% of all businessmen who wear ties wear them so?
tightly that they actually reduce blood flow to the brain, diminishing cerebral functions. At a board meeting of 15 businessmen, all of whom wear ties, what are the following probabilities? (a) at least one tie is too tight (b) more than two ties are too tight (c) no tie is too tight (d) at least 13 ties are not too tight
The only thing I remember about college is always being stressed over a huge class workload. I had a lot of domestic responsibilities, I was holding a job while in school, and it is needless to say that I didn’t have much time to work on my assignments. I felt like I have to do more than I can handle, so I went online and found a couple of custom writing services to help me with my assignments. There are a lot of custom writing companies on the web, but I particularly liked these two, so I think these are the best research paper websites:ExpertWriting – professional and affordable essay & research paper writing service.

Funnily enough, dating sites base their entire marketing strategy on “scientific” algorithms.Yet, these algorithms are nowhere to be found. They do not share it with scientists, to be studied or analyzed. In fact it is their most guarded secret. This is largely due to the fact that there is no superior scientific algorithm to find your best match.Algorithms, cannot rely on subjectivity and biases, or rather we cannot rely on algorithms that claim they can adapt to subjectivity and biases.OkCupid has been extraordinarily transparent about their algorithms and the founder has been quoted : “OkCupid doesn’t really know what it’s doing. Neither does any other website.” - We Experiment On Human Beings! – The OkCupid BlogWhat the above indicated is that when something claims to be scientific and fails at providing legitimate empirical evidence, it might just be baloney.In terms of the perfect female body. My first question would be: According to when? The ideal body has changed more than most people change their underwear, so I wouldn't be all that concerned about this reiteration.

Yankee Fans : Which team should i go and watch the Yankees play against?
Keep in mind that Yankee Stadium does not allow clubhouse tours on day games, which would mean night games as your only hope. Also, near as I can tell for you, all of the games you have a choice of are blacked out for clubhouse tours. As you must know,this is the current Yankee Stadium's last year. Monument Park is open as soon as the gates open and close 45 minutes prior to all of the games, so head there first, find your seat later. Since it looks like you will have to forgo the clubhouse tour, try to go to the Baltimore game on September 21st. This is the LAST scheduled home game in this Stadium. If they make the playoffs, this of course will not be true. (Here's hoping for a longer season!) As for your choices being not the best, don't worry about it. Long after you forget the score, you'll remember the experience. Good luck.
Another possibility: Conference papers are considered to be preliminary presentations of work, while journal articles are considered to be the more formal and final publication of scientific work. Work that is first presented at a conference is often later written up in more detail, with the final updated results of the work, and submitted to a journal. So what you could do is rewrite and update the first conference paper, this time including your name along with the names of the others who wrote the first conference article. Then email a copy of the paper to the other authors on the conference publication that you are about to submit the paper to a journal, with their permission, of course. Ask them to review the paper and provide their permission and any rewrites within two weeks. To be sure, in computer science, especially, conference papers are often viewed as the main publication of the work, unlike in other fields, but even in computer science, and certainly in most other fields, journal publication is considered the gold standard. Now, you must also be honest with yourself: If the finding is a small one that would not be considered sufficient for a journal article, then you will probably have to give up and turn to getting credit for other work you do. But if the finding is substantial, and worthy of a journal article, then by all means pursue that route. Be honest with everyone along the way, both your coauthors and the journal editor where you submit, as you will cite the conference paper in the journal article. This sequential publication, first a short conference report then a more substantial journal article, is standard throughout science.
