Thanks! :) x

I'm not entirely sure what's best for physiotherapy (someone else will know :)) but here's some advice on the rest:
I've done Admin, but not Computing, I think they're really quite different. :p
Admin is more general office things - like spreadsheets, databases and word processing - and you do a theory paper as well.
I think Computing is more about creating programs, I know the folio is quite important.

You are allowed to take subjects you haven't before IF your school lets you - every school's different. :)
For example, my school would let people 'crash' Chemistry if they had a good enough Standard Grade in another relevant subject, like Biology.

You'll have to speak to the Head of Department for the subject you want to take and they'll tell you the information you need/grades required. :) If you're really stuck, your guidance teacher could also help as well!

Think of the atomic electron having to hop up a flight of stairs, with one stair representing one energy level. The atomic electron has to take an amount of energy equivalent to exactly one or two or three (or etc etc) stairs as it cannot stop halfway up a stair, and those amounts of energy depend on the atom (i.e. the element).

For example, if the difference between n=1 and n=2 is 10eV, both an electron with 11.2eV of Ek and an electron with 12.1eV of Ek will have to transfer that 10eV of energy for the atomic electron to get there. :)

Obviously very pleased with these as it means all I need to do is up that science section and jobs a goodun. Hope every else did well.

don't do your syllabus so don't know is there's a specific method for these.....

It looks like a binomial probability problem where you need to find the probability of 3 success from 7 trials but complicated by the fact that the 3rd success must be on the 7th trial.

My approach would be to calculate the probability of 2 success in 6 trials (don't forget the number of arrangements) and then multiply that result by the probability of success occuring on the 7th occassion.

1) Anxiety about giving birth the 'normal' way. I already have anxiety problems and I don't think it would be healthy for me to get so worked up about it
2) I have bipolar, and everyone in my family has had post natal depression, which puts me at a massive risk for getting it, and in bipolar women it's more dangerous usually. Planning the date would enable me to plan with my therapist whether to start medication as a preventative measure and how regularly to have appointments.
3) I have endometriosis and the pain is horriffic, and if giving birth is anything like that I'd rather have a cesarean.

What's more, you (and Flynn) are assuming the direction between any possible correlation. You are assuming that education dictates number of children, rather than number of children effects education.

And what's more (despite trying) I've yet to find any direction relationship between IQ and number of children.

Finally, speaking of the Flynn effect, that would seem to show that the whole concept is contrary to evidence anyway.

1. It's a quantitative heritable trait. Steve Hsu, has a nice summary here of the findings from behavioural genetic studies, and more recently molecular genetics. So a significant amount of variation within the population is due to genetic variation in addition to environmental variation. Hsu is involved with the BGI Cognitive Genomics Project - I'd recommend his slides from this presentation to Google about their project looking at the genetic basis of cognitive ability.

2. There's a pretty robust relationship between cognitive ability and academic outcomes. It's not the only factor, but there is a significant relationship (see Deary 2007).

3. The thing with the Flynn Effect is that it is only on certain sub-tests - which suggests people are getting better at certain things as a result of environmental changes. But overall ability - or the g factor - doesn't appear to have changed.

4. There's a reasonable summary of the research on the relationship between intelligence and fertility on wikipedia. A recent paper by Meisenberg summarises:

Quote:

Although a negative relationship between fertility and education has been described consistently in most countries of the world, less is known about the relationship between intelligence and reproductive outcomes. Also the paths through which intelligence influences reproductive outcomes are uncertain. The present study uses the NLSY79 to analyze the relationship of intelligence measured in 1980 with the number of children reported in 2004, when the respondents were between 39 and 47 years old. Intelligence is negatively related to the number of children, with partial correlations (age controlled) of −.156, −.069, −.235 and −.028 for White females, White males, Black females and Black males, respectively. This effect is related mainly to the g-factor. It is mediated in part by education and income, and to a lesser extent by the more “liberal” gender attitudes of more intelligent people. In the absence of migration and with constant environment, genetic selection would reduce the average IQ of the US population by about .8 points per generation.

Re-doing year 12

lizzie96 — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:24:44 GMT

I started boarding school in September, and from the start it was awful. From half way through the first week, people would slam doors in my face and leave the table when I stood up , all because I apparentlt said something. That got resolved but things pretty much carried on , they would run away from me when they were going to dinner, and make hints for me to leave like REALLY strong ones. All of the boys caught on and were really rude, I coulnd't walk anywhere without getting abuse, and I basically became mute. I would only leave my room for lessons, until a couple of weeks ago I would only go to dinner 3 times a week and not have breakfast or lunch and eat out of the vendi machines. I've never had a roomate because no one wats to share with me and I have a place at another school , though it would mean re-doing the year. Though universities apparntly don't mind if its for 'personal reasons'. My grades aren't awful, more a couple of bs cs ds and a u . Though I should be getting all as. It has recently looked up though, i have made friends with people in different years though they are all leaving, I know although I dont go to breakfast or lunch go to dinner everyday. I just wait till they have left come late sit at a table and don't talk then leave. But this day school would mean living at home nd I went to boarding school cause me and my parents didn't get on and the school is full of really rich famous people m and Im not that. Also I have stopped getting abuse from theboys.But the quality of education I get here is pretty terrible . If i stay here I only have one more year till univeristy and I weekly board. But im really scared my new school will be really snobby as it is an all girls private school in sloane square

However he did show me the difference between classic and premium and I have to say it has definitely changed my decision to premium. The kitchen and lounge are far superior. The deluxe room sizes are good, decent size bed and desk, and lot of storage. The bathroom is quite decent compared to other student en suites I've experienced. The guy that showed me around was lovely, although he was weekend staff only. I did look at the gym, it's quite small and the music was very very loud but the pool looked lovely with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The common areas are quite small but have everything you need. There is a lovely park across the road too and it literally is 5 minutes walk to the university. I will definitely be booking!

I really liked victoria halls from the start but now Im considering new wharf hall as I kinda wanted to be living with first years like myself. If anyone could suggest which is better in their opinion or list why each place is good that would be really helpful :)

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘before we had strict gun laws’. We’ve had strict gun laws since the early 20th Century. People have needed a special licence to own a machine gun since 1937.
The reason we have no awful shooting sprees is because deranged malcontents can’t just walk into a gun store and buy a semi-automatic assault weapon.

I think it depends on how long you've been out of education, if you do the course full/part-time and you're academic background. For example, I'm well-versed in the ol' essay writing with some experience in psych journal reading/empirical research, but I'm going to have to really get stuck into the statistics stuff as it doesn't come naturally to me.

Hope this helps a little bit!

Thank you :) well I have just finished doing a BA English at Southampton Uni, I'm mostly worried about the stats too really! I did Psychology at A Level but nothing since then. Did you apply for the PGDip or MSc? Have you heard back yet? :)

Is cannibalism "immoral"?

tazarooni89 — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:15:56 GMT

Personally I don't agree with the principle that, just because someone consents to something which is harmful to them, it automatically becomes moral. Nor do I agree with the principle that engaging in an action which only harms the one performing it is necessarily moral. In my view, the concept of morality (i.e. the manner in which a person "should" behave) takes into account the costs and benefits to everybody, not just to third parties. (Although this is a different matter to whether or not the action should be acceptable in society or punishable by law etc.)

As far as cannibalism goes, I wouldn't say eating human flesh is necessarily immoral in and of itself. But in general, there are only really two ways to get human flesh to eat. Either you slaughter a healthy person in order to eat them as you would do with a farm animal, or you find someone who is sick and going to die anyway, or is dead already, and eat them. In the first instance, I would consider it immoral to slaughter the healthy person, regardless of whether or not they consented to it. And in the second instance, I would also consider it immoral to eat something which is likely to cause illness and disease to the person eating - and eating dead meat like a vulture is particularly unhealthy for humans.

Having said that, there are also instances where cannibalism can be beneficial - for example, if you're stranded on a mountain with nothing to eat but human flesh, then it can save your life - in which case this benefit may outweigh most of the costs.

Adverse effects of MRI scans?

The full name of an MRI is a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Image (they don't call it that though as people hear the word radiation and freak). But it doesn't involve ionising radiation, and there are no known side effects. They have a negligible risk factor, compared to an X-ray its infinitesimally small. Only issues could be if you have a pacemaker, are claustrophobic or wear metal in to the scanner (as it's an enormous electromagnetic which will attract metal objects very strongly).

I'm not 30+ but I don't think that's a particularly fair judgement on a programme that was always made on a fraction of the budget of today's show and yet managed to deal with major issues throughout its run. Consider the politics of employment and being able to feed the planet in The Green Death (ignoring the giant maggots, obviously); the extent to which a population can be manipulated by a singular evil figure as in Genesis of the Daleks; the place of technology and the emergence of artificial intelligence which might rival humanity (something which we're increasingly grappling with today) as in The War Machines, produced, I might add, in 1966. They didn't have CGI to fill in the gaps and they had to deal with censorious policies. The programme they made, particularly in the 1960s, was ahead of its time and the fact that people can watch it today and it still makes them think suggests that it was not dire, far from it.

I completely understand, being at uni myself. My point is, if you are instructed by a teacher to do a certain thing in order to get the grade, that it what you would do. Because you assume that the teacher is telling you the correct thing. However him, and half of his ICT class are now in jeopardy, and most of them will not get into uni, purely because the school told them to do something ridiculous. I just wondered what was best for him to do, since essentially, it's not his fault, just like it isn't the fault of the other 10 people in his class.

Logically no, socially perhaps, but is there any reason to oppose those who have prejudice views from having a family other than the fact they hold a different view from you? Or is this view 'damaging' to a child's upbringing?

As above, if you're prepared to stoop yourself to their level then you're no better than them and you shouldn't expect sympathy.

Lost what?

I don't think it's 'hateful' to logically engage in a discussion, though you've displayed one of the typical liberalist strategies to an argument - advance and retreat, in this case the latter. If you're not prepared to engage someone when they do so with you likewise then you're only basis of justification is self-verified reasons, which hold no sway in any argument.

He means that the homosexual lobby, inclusive of LGBT only, is the minority compared with everyone else, not those from straight backgrounds who support them.

I wouldn't bring reputation into an argument on the internet as if it matters, all it shows is the amount of times someone agrees with you even if those people are mindless sheep. Look at my gems for instance, and then look at yours. If you're going to bully people on the notion of how much they're worth on a stupid little counter on a website then you need a reality check.

Posted from TSR Mobile

Chronic bronchitis is the inflammation of the lungs, caused by the damage to cilia and the overproduction of mucus by goblet cells, because when mucus accumulates in the lungs bacteria can thrive and cause infections.
Emphysema normally comes after because phagocytes move to the area to fight the infection but they produce elastase enzymes that break down the elastin in alveolar walls, reducing surface area / preventing recoil. It's basically caused by the destruction of the alveolar walls whereas bronchitis is just the inflammation.

I would also recommend the geology/earth sciences route, but I am somewhat biased!

Also, I'd love to know more about how you think family annihilation is related to feminism.

Its simple the traditional role for men is to be the head of their family, to have control of their life, to have control of their woman.

Feminism has promoted a society where women cheat and leave their husbands more regularly, further more the family courts have given women absolute power over children and the finances of former partners.

So simply your wife can cheat on you with another man, then take most of your wealth and your family. Your life can be destroyed by the promiscuity/infidelity of a woman. If a woman tried this with me I would kill her.

British men need to man up and take control of their women.

The old shtick that the Trinity means there are three God's is wearing thin. No orthodox Christian worships three Gods and in fact finds that repugnant.

A stone is one being with no persons.
A human is one being with one person.
God is one being with three persons.

The notes says that I should include a letter saying why I don't want to pass the form to the university. Should I just write a letter saying I'm not 100% sure which university I'm going to attend?

Its a really good option...a couple of my friends are going back for the summer in JUne to work, i cant go as have work here but i would definately go back!

does anyone think that there will be a question like this:

'Explain how the ester Methyl Propanoate is made?'

and then you'd have to talk about the acid (propanoic acid) and the alcohol (methanol) reacting, and an acid catalyst usually being used, and water being produced as well etc.

Can probably rule out Cincinnati - he's not had any success there. Federer, Murray and Djokovic pretty much control those ultra fast courts. Toronto and Shanghai are probably his best bets. He's won Toronto before and reached the final in Shanghai - needs to watch out for Murray/Djokovic though

Hi there,

It should be fine providing there is space left on the course and you can meet the grade requirements. Please contact our engineering admissions team by phone or email.

Hardly. As has been posted above, these ‘MAs’ are purely honorary, and serve as a nice way of meeting your friends again a few years after graduation. Almost all Oxbridge grads do not put it on their CVs, or try to pass it off as a ‘real’ master’s qualification in any way. And if a Master’s degree really matters to an employer, they will in most probability know the relative worth of these. It’s a completely harmless tradition.

I was 4th reserve for cardiac and I think 3rd reserve for vascular. Nobody dropped out of either so I applied again this year, didn't even get an interview for cardiac even though I now have more experience. Had interview for vascular but still not heard outcome. I know many people got jobs from being on reserve last year, i think I was just unlucky with the specialism! So keep your fingers crossed but maybe start thinking of other options incase? You did so well to get 5th reserve (I know that's no consolation as people kept telling me that last year!).

Obviously finishing 4th and coming in the top two is different- and I'm unsure how we're going to approach next season- but the players have every right to celebrate as they did themselves proud for the last 30% of the season.

Also it's hilarious hearing some of the spuds comments. Their best team couldn't beat one of our worst, and yet they're giving it all that talk about how they have ambition. Even if they did have that, it wouldn't mean anything with their inferior revenues and custard cream stadium. Also bye bye Bale.

It wasn't your worst team, both teams have ambition (that's how football works), and I love our ground, ****ing love it. Bale's staying.

MPs could get £10,000 pay rise

Pedd — Mon, 20 May 2013 08:53:13 GMT

I support MPs having a universal pay rise, as opposed to a dubiously covert expenses system that was contrived in the first place to avoid the political fallout of raising MPs' pay. To balance, MPs' ability to claim second homes and expenses should be put under more scrutiny, with regulation becoming transparent to the public. This may actually help politics in the long run, because the more simplified the system becomes, the harder it will become to exploit, and the easier it will become for us to scrutinise.Hopefully this is step one in a rebalance that Westminister desperately needs.

3) Just because someone is 'training' doesn't mean they are contributing nothing to patients during that time. Certainly, once in F1/F2 doctors are making a significant contribution. None of us ever stops learning/training.
Posted from TSR Mobile

1) So you're suggesting admitting medical students based on how much tax they have paid in the past? As a kind of reward for paying tax? Because that is certainly not what happens now. There is no guarantee whatsoever that any given 50 year old has paid more tax than they've benefited from already.
2) Its difficult. One objective measure would be time though, which is exactly why i'm surprised that med schools are happy to take on someone with less than 10 years worth of career prospects.
3) Sure, but they are not worth as much as a trained consultant doing the same job. You will get some value out of a 10 year career, but much less than a 40 year career clearly, which is the point.
