current

I'd like to get an idea of what the current mix is here in Politics, CE, & SI.

A friend has been telling about Arbah Healing - which I have never heard of before. From the practitioner's website: I can't find any information here or on the web regarding "Arbah Energy". I was hoping someone here may have come across this before, or at least have some comments. I have...

http://www.phagetherapycenter.com/pii/PatientServlet?command=static_home&secnavpos=-1 The above rather convoluted URL is for the site of a Bacteriophage treatment centre in Tbilisi, Georgia. (The other Georgia). We have probably all heard of this alternative to antibiotics, but it seems to...

:confused: I hope I'm not posting this thread into the wrong spot but I have been trying to locate a current poll that indicates the percentage of the people in the US that actually believe in psychics. I believe (unfortunately)that there are probably a high number of people who truly believe...

I wondered what British Muslims were saying, and had been saying. Here is an interesting site. I have read very little of it and also can't possibly know whether it's representative. I just found it interesting.

Have you heard? They (I'm not sure who 'they' are) are thinking about extending daylight savings time by 2 extra months because it's proven ability to save energy. The proposed plan calls for starting DST in March, and ending it in November. But I have a better plan. Since this whole thing is...

(Sorry I'm not posting very much, but I have issues of a personal nature that leave me very little time to post on JREF - I'm sure we'll come back to the things we talked about later) Does anyone know any valid reason why someone would change empirical data in order to improve a significance...

It was -27 degrees F at my house this morning. Creatures who evolved in the tropics were not mean't to live in such an environment. To ask humans to go out in such conditions is, well, inhumane. I am moving to Mexico when I retire.

One could argue that it is up to the individual to be responsible for their check writing and I would agree. But the law will not really do anything constructive except to fleece billions from the poorest of citizens. At the same time Banks are putting more holds and longer delays on deposits...

Just to be let people know how legitimate scientific inquiry works, and to show how capital "S" Science can prevail in the public interest, I have a couple of areas that I'm following closely and for which I have a high level of interest. These don't always stay immediately on the public's...

I think sometimes when presented with an issue it's best to just sit back and have a good hard look at it for a while. With all the paranormal claims in the world these are currectly the best examples who are most willing to be tested: The current claim situation Now I'm not saying that none...

According to THE ONION (an American satirical magazine): According to PRIVATE EYE (an UK satirical magazine): ...says it all, really.

I wonder how much electrical current can pass through caffeine? I know that electricity goes through our nervous system and I have a hypothesis that caffeine can make the electricity pass through our nervous system faster. I would like to know if anyone agrees with my theory or not?

They've covered this topic quite a bit on NPR over the last week, including the Science Friday show. Recent studies have indicated some new information on the cholesterol/heart attack connection, it's treatment, and the effects of the new statin-type drugs. Seems the previous model was that...

I have an older radio that has a weak signal to several radio stations, now if I move my body away from the radio nothing happens, but if I move my hand closer to the radio the signal clears up.... now I'm sure this qualifies me for the one million dollars but before I applied I wanted to see if...

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/06/04/ford.sierra.reut/index.html Does anyone know whether it is factually true? And if it is true, is it because the reasearch for fuel efficiency is not profitable, or because cars now have many more features that require power?

What's the latest book you've read about current events/politics?
