To safeguard Singapore against high-risk non-citizens who have not been vaccinated, unvaccinated foreign travellers may be deny entry into the country, according to new proposed changes to law by the Ministry of Health (MOH).
If the change is enacted, the non-citizen will returned to his/her place of embarkation without first offering vaccination, isolation or surveillance.
This is in line with international practice, said a press release by MOH. The discretion will be exercised judiciously, in scenarios where it is impractical to offer vaccination, isolation or surveillance.
Unwell travellers arriving in Singapore will not be turned away, and will continue to receive medical attention as needed.
Under the current Infectious Disease Act (IDA), persons entering Singapore need to be vaccinated against specific infectious diseases. Unvaccinated travellers may be subjected to vaccination, isolation or surveillance in Singapore, and travellers who refuse to comply may be returned to his/her place of embarkation.
The public is invited to contribute their views and feedback on the proposed amendments to the IDA.
The public consultation paper with details of the proposed amendments can be found on REACH and on the MOH website from 9am on Wednesday 27 June 2018. Feedback on the consultation paper can be submitted to ida_public_consult@moh.gov.sg.
All feedback should reach MOH by August 7, 2018, 6pm.

Q: Write a mockito test for void method I am trying to write a test case for a method which is very badly written, below is implementation of the method:
public void processData(){
 DB.connectToDB1();
 List rawData = DB.getRawData();
 List processedData = new List();
 for (Object obj : rawData){
  //pass through filter
  if(obj.passesFilter){
   processedData.add(obj);
  }
 }
 DB.connectToDB2();
 DB.insertProcessedData(processedData);
}

I want to test if filter rules are working correctly, what approach should i take?

A: You should mock DB and on getRawData() return the list of data, you want to be processed:
Mockito.when(DB.getRawData()).thenReturn(myList);

And then use Mockito.verify to check that all of the rawData that should pass the filter is in the list of processedData, by using a Captor, which can capture the the data passed to insertProcessedData:
@Captor
ArgumentCaptor<String> listCaptor;

Mockit.verify(DB).insertProcessedData(listCaptor.capture());
List<Object> processedData = listCaptor.getValue();

And then you can check processedData for whatever you need (e.g. expected size,...).

DC's 5-Star Super-Hero Spectacular
On March 24, 2019 March 23, 2019 By Tom PanareseIn Comics, Reviews
Man, this was a treat. I fished this out of a cheap bin at a a comic convention a few years ago–I wasn't looking for it and it's in pretty terrible condition, but it was cheap and the Neal Adams cover was enough for me to throw it on the pile. It's a dollar comic from 1977 that features stories starring The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Atom, and Batman, all of which are relatively short ways to promote those characters (you see a "go read this character's book …" blurb at the end of every story. Some of these are better than others, and I'm going to give a quick look at each of them.
The Flash in "How to Prevent a Flash": Barry sees the same accident that gave him his powers happen to a woman. But her super speed ultimately proves destructive. A story that I'm torn on–I like the idea that someone else gets super speed and it's going to cause absolute havoc, but the fact that it's a woman character bugs me and there's a "deus ex machina" ending. But Carey Bates still tells a good story and the art by Irv Novick and Frank McLaughlin is solid.
Green Lantern in "He Who Slaughters": A black hole that is about to swallow Oa. Green Lantern and the rest of the Corps have to help save the Guardians. Denny O'Neil writes this one and has Hal fight an ancient alien protector who ultimately gives his life to save the planet. It's a bit "there's been a big misunderstanding," a bit "classic '50s sci-fi comic," and we get Joe Staton artwork, which is always great.
Aquaman in"A King Without a Sea": Aquaman fights a sun-god-like being named Sunburst in an adventure that takes him through the deserts of the Middle East. Gerry Conway writes this with references to ancient empires like Alexander's and plenty of drama. Dick Dillin, whose artwork I admit I am not familiar with, gives us some standard Bronze Age artwork. Some good moments in this one and whereas the other two had a lot of discussion about heroism and responsibility, this has a straight-up hero/villain battle that I enjoyed.
The Atom in "The Telephone Tangle": A Paul Kupperberg story about The Atom going back in time to foil the plans of someone trying to steal Alexander Graham Bell's credit for inventing the telephone. It's really goofy and I'm not the biggest Atom fan, but Steve Stiles and Bob McLeod give us some dynamic (and historically accurate) artwork.
Batman in "The Dead on Arrival Conspiracy": Batman fights Kobra and his henchmen in a "very Batman in the Bronze Age" story that is my favorite in the entire book. Martin Pasko is doing a good job at writing the type of story I've seen from Denny O'Neil in the Bronze Age and Mike Nasser (who would later be known as Mike Netzer) and Joe Rubenstein do the artwork. That artwork, by the way? Freaking. Amazing. I hope this story is in a trade or available online somewhere because it's some great "Batman: International Detective and Fighter" stuff in it.
Keep/Donate: I'm going to put it in my son's collection and let him enjoy it.

Q: Javascript SDK not returning page id, admin, liked when loaded in page tab When logging in with FB.login the response.authResponse doesn't include the page property with the id, admin, liked.
However, if we load the page in PHP it does include it in the signed request (getSignedRequest).
I thought it use to work ok using javascript.
The problem is if you develop a primarily javascript app you then can't detect the page unless you use the server. Requiring a refresh after using the javascript login so the server can parse the signed request.
Any ideas?

A:
Requiring a refresh after using the javascript login so the server can parse the signed request.

Not necessarily a "refresh" – a AJAX request will do as well.

Any ideas?

If a roundtrip to the server isn't feasible in your situation, you could also parse the signed request client-side – for base64 decoding modern browsers know the method window.atob, and for older browsers you can grab a script to do it from the web. That would be just decoding the signed request, though, without actually verifying it. If you need to do that as well, you'll have to go with the server-side approch, since that requires your app secret.

A: If you want to get the signed Request from using Javascript api you can do it with FB.getLoginStatus() to retrieve the signed_request. That is if the the user is logged into your app/website.If not you can call the FB.login method. i Tried this method:
<script type="text/javascript">

            window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
                FB.init({ appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID', //change the appId to your appId
                    status: true,
                    cookie: true,
                    xfbml: true,
                    oauth: true});

               function updateButton(response) {

                 console.log(response);

                 if(response.status == 'connected'){
                     //alert('Yes Connected');

                    console.log(response.authResponse.signedRequest);
                    //This log can be seen through the firebug extention in console tab
                 }
                 else{
                     alert('Not Connected');
                 }

                }

                // run once with current status and whenever the status changes
                FB.getLoginStatus(updateButton);

            };

            (function() {
                var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
                e.src = document.location.protocol
                    + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
                document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
            }());

        </script>

A: Can't be done. Facebook only sends the page tab info to the server as part of the signed request get variable.

All I know is my Dad would have cashed out his entire life savings to avoid this kind of nonsense. My Dad thinks it's creepy when men venture into lingerie stores to by stuff for their significant other on Valentine's Day. I'm pretty sure he would be even less interested in singing hymns outside a clinic that provides reproductive services to women. Of course, I'm also pretty sure my Dad would walk proudly through that mess to back up my decision to end an unwanted pregnancy because that is what REAL men do.
Yes. Of course you're right, KyBorn. Thank goodness, many men are supportive.
I escorted at my usual clinic yesterday, and there weren't too many protesters (this is in DC) – there weren't many on Mother's Day weekend either. The antis at our clinic don't seem to observe holidays much, which is a good thing for our patients. We only get a big showing around the "march for life" time.
Sounds like you have a bunch of holiday-loving antis. Just as well!
Must be nice, sand1878. Our antis have all kinds of special occasions that they celebrate by coming to the clinic to harass people. Odd kind of celebration, isn't it?
Wow! I wonder how that works if you give that to Dad for a Father's Day gift. Nope, no breakfast. No crappy tie. Instead, we're going to go to down to the front of the clinic and sing about Jesus. Sense it cost $25 that is what you'll be getting.
Lol, KyBorn! I'm thinking that most Dads wouldn't be too thrilled, but who knows??

Stanford chemists craft catalyst for making biodegradable plastics
by Bjorn Carey, Stanford University
An inexpensive and efficient process for making biodegradable plastics could save millions of tons of petroleum-derived plastics from landfills. Credit: Aleksandar Jaksic/Getty Images/Stanford University
The development of petroleum-based plastics is one of the crowning achievements of the 20th century, but they come with a hefty cost.
Yes, they're inexpensive and feature extraordinary mechanical properties that have made them the materials of everyday life.
However, the vast scale of plastics manufacturing and the environmental consequences associated with disposal have illuminated the limits to which the planet can cope with our current "take, make and dispose" model of resource utilization. Biodegradable plastics derived from renewable sources offer an attractive alternative, but so far they can't match the price and performance of petroleum plastics.
Now, researchers at Stanford and IBM Research report the development of new chemical approaches that could efficiently and inexpensively generate biodegradable plastics suitable for making an array of items as diverse as forks, medical devices and fabrics. The study is published in the current issue of Nature Chemistry.
As with many chemical reactions, creating biodegradable polyesters requires the assistance of a catalyst – a special class of chemical that increases the rate of a reaction or pushes it over an energetic hurdle. The standard catalysts used to make biodegradable plastics are metal-based, which are difficult or expensive to remove from the final material, and do not degrade in the environment.
The research group headed by Robert Waymouth of Stanford and James Hedrick of IBM Research presents an alternative catalyst made from common organic compounds.
The researchers crafted the catalyst by reacting common chemical ingredients – thiourea with a metal alkoxide. The result is a catalyst that is both fast and selective, meaning that it excels at accelerating and facilitating reactions and that it doesn't alter the resulting polymer's shape or properties once it is formed.
"While many catalysts are either fast or selective, these catalysts are both," said Robert Waymouth, the Robert Eckles Swain Professor in Chemistry at Stanford. "They are simple to prepare, easy to use and can be readily adopted by anyone with a basic knowledge of chemistry."
In addition to lowering the cost and environmental impact, the new catalyst design is highly tunable, Waymouth said, and can be used to generate several varieties of plastics suitable for different functions. The work can produce polylactic acid, a commercial compostable biodegradable polyester utilized in disposable plasticware, such as tableware, cups, plates and forks. It also has medical applications for resorbable sutures, implants and stents, as well as biomedical implants and drug-delivery materials. Everyday items such as food packaging and non-woven fabrics are also a possibility.
Although the results are based on a decade of research, they are just the first steps, the researchers said. Because this technique is relatively simple and the catalysts are readily modified, these advances could lead to new and broadly useful class of catalysts – and likewise, new and useful biodegradable plastics – beyond what's been presented in this study.
"Our catalyst design is simple and general and could prove useful not only for polymerization but for a wide range of organic reactions," said Xiangyi Zhang, the Stanford graduate student who conducted the experimental work.
In addition to Waymouth, Hedrick and Zhang, the study, "Fast and selective ring-opening polymerizations by alkoxides and thioureas," was co-authored by Gavin Jones of IBM Research. The research was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.

Today I am having a little bit of fun and taking a break from talking about video games. Instead, I will be talking about old school toys. I prefer the term old school over old or vintage as it makes me feel not quite old as hell!
Anyway, I was born in 1981 so I was lucky enough to experience all the big toy lines of the 1980's. I am sharing with you my top five toy lines of the 80's. Now before you freak out and come to my house with a pitchfork, let me again state that these are my personal top five. The toy lines that I had the most fun with and memories of. So if yours are different let me know in the comments down below as I would love to know what 80's toy lines you loved.
The first toy line on my list is one that I only actually had a couple of figures for, but it is one that got a lot of play time. Inhumanoids, when I look back, was actually pretty dark for a kids TV show in the 80's. It was about a team of scientists who would battle these three large monsters that lived in the earth and who were reawakened. The toys were pretty big and I think they must have been expensive as I only had two of the Earth Corps and one of the Inhumanoids.
When I think about Inhumanoids there is one thing that comes to mind and that is D'Compose. This guy was creepy and scary, but I thought he was awesome. He looked like a dinosaur and he could open up his rib cage and put his victims in there! I had a D'Compose toy as a kid and I would always make him put a beat down on the Earth Corps. I have tried to track these down, but getting one in good condition and one that does not cost a fortune is really hard!
This is one of the more forgotten toy lines of the 80's, but I loved Dino Riders. It was about two warring races The Valorians and Rulons who after traveling through space end up on a prehistoric earth. Here the Valorians live in harmony with dinosaurs and the Rulons use these brain box things to control them. The show was awesome, but the toys were even cooler.
These at the time were pretty expensive, but these were some of the most elaborate toys that I had as a kid. You would get a dinosaur, a figure and a ton of weapons and armor for the dinosaurs. The T-Rex was tremendous and one of my all-time favorite toys that I had as a kid and I vividly remember the day I got it. One thing that is stuck in my memory in regards to Dino-Riders is actually how impressive the boxes were. At the time (well the toys that I was interested in) no other toys put as much effort into their packaging like Dino Riders did.
I think that you could make the argument that Transformers are bigger now than they have ever been, but I was there right at the begging and loved the Transformers. I had no idea that these were just toys brought over from Japan. As a kid, I could not have been any more invested in the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The Transformers Animated Movie is still the best out of all the Transformers movies that have been made.
The toy line was great and it was a toy line that I seemed to have a ton of toys for. The one that I loved the most was…. Actually, it is hard to pick just one. I had a few of the Dinobots with Grimlock being my favorite, but I also really liked Metro Plex which was the biggest Transformer I had as a kid, he was the Autobot base and I got him for Christmas one year. I think that the newer Transformers toys look far more spectacular, but I still have a lot of love for the G1 Transformers I grew up with. Also, I have to be honest and say that I really liked that first live action Transformers movie.
This was my first toyline as a kid. Sure I probably had some lame plush bunny or teddy that I dragged everywhere with me. But Masters Of The Universe is one of the first memories that I have in regards to playing with toys. I loved He-Man and what kid in the early to mid 80's didn't? I even liked She-Ra! One of the more fun memories I have about He-Man is that He-Man and Battlecat seemed to be two toys that every single kid I knew had!
While the figures were cool, Castle Grayskull is what I remember most. I grew up in Scotland and my folks had to get family to track one down all the in Cambridge as it was so hard to get. I played with that thing for hours and hours and I would use it as a storage case as well. While He-Man was good, I always loved the bad guys best with Beast-Man and Mer-Man being my two favorites and as I write this there was another guy who had suction cups on his hands that I really liked he was called Leech. Also the store next to my house used to sell these He-Man jelly sweets that were in the shape of some of the characters which were cool.
Look we all know that it was incredibly lame how Ninja was far too violent for us here in the UK, but the Ninja Turtles are one of my all-time favorite properties. Even now in my 30's, I collect Ninja Turtles comic books and toys. My parents had a nightmare trying to track these things down. I got lucky in Woolworths one day and ended up with a Donnie and a Bebop which was a good start and led to an obsession that is still running now.
The figures I remember most from the Turtles were these ones called Wacky Action Turtles. They had action features and what I liked better about these was that they actually looked like the way they did in the cartoon whereas the first run of figures had a more comic book look to them. While I have a lot of nostalgia and love for the original Turtles comic book and cartoon series. I have to be honest and say that the 2012 Ninja Turtles series and the current IDW run of Ninja Turtles comic books are my favorite incarnation. Still though I have to put this at number one on my list as I am even a bigger fan of the Ninja Turtles today than when I was kid, but had it not been for the cartoon, the toys and even the comic book of the 80's that would not be the case.
So there you have it those are my personal top five toy lines of the 80's. One thing I want to mention is that I was kind of weird as a kid and toy lines did not mix!!!! There was no Ninja Turtles fighting Transformers or He-Man helping out Earth Corps to take down D'Compose. As well as knowing what your toy lines were I would love to know if you mixed up all your toys or just played with certain lines at a time?
Oh, one last thing, my all-time favourite toy line is actually from 1990 and that is the Hasbro WWF action figures which I plan to talk about real soon.


This past week we spent a day at the children's hospital. It was a routine, scheduled visit, but it was extremely taxing. I've talked about my girls heart before but she also has an issue with her kidneys, called hydronephrosis. She has vesicoreutal reflux, meaning a bit of urine goes backwards towards her kidney. It's very mild and they believe will self correct with time. The doctors are simply monitoring it. So this last Friday, she had the unfortunate experience of being drugged up to be catheterized, have her bladder pumped full of sterile dye and x-rayed. She wasn't allowed food or drink before the procedure, which she handled surprisingly well. However once at the hospital the tears began to flow. We were there for 4 hours total, and she spent 75% of that crying. Being a mama who does not let her child cry, does not believe in cry it out, that was extremely rough. She did not sleep at all while there either, and was exhausted. There was about a 30 minute span where she was totally stoned from the medication where she enjoyed herself. They gave her a moving light up toy and she was like a hippie on acid. Other then that she was miserable.
I struggle with days like this. I went into pregnancy expecting an intervention free birth, preparing to vaccinate sparingly and hoping to be hands off medicinally.
Then she came and her perfect little heart was broken and I was terrified. I had to put all of my hope and trust into a medical community I previously feared. I had to believe they would save my baby. And they did. And ever since I have listened to almost everything they have told me.
On days like this I wonder if I should question more. Refuse tests. Decline procedures. I wonder if any of this related to her kidneys and bladder was even necessary. If she will simply outgrow it. If so many kids have it and don't even know, because they didn't have abdominal ultrasounds at birth. Then why was all of this necessary? Her results came back in favor of her outgrowing the issue, the reflux now gone, the hydronephrosis lessening. I question myself, and my decisions for my child. Was putting her through all of that worth it? But it comes down to trust. And trust these doctors and nurses I must. Without that I am left with far more questions. So I give in and let them take control. We're lucky. We live in a community with amazing hospitals, researchers, doctors and nurses. They are always up on current research, and much more progressive then you might expect. So trust them I do, and hope that they continue to deserve that trust.
Here's a glimpse of what that day looked like. These photos don't tell the entire story, as most were taken in the few moments we weren't busy comforting her.
I relate to this post on a different level. As you know, we were intervention free for our birth and I also wanted as little "doctoring" as possible. Now though, I have a medical issue that requires surgery and scary biopsies, etc. Suddenly, faced with my own mortality, I am running towards doctors, terrified, despite odds that there are natural ways to resolve my issue. I sympathize with this post on a personal level. No matter how natural minded I am and want to be, when there is the possibility of my life or my child's life in question, I side with the doctors.
Rooting for an easy road ahead for you and your family.
I know that feeling somewhat too. While I was pregnant my husband developed some health issues, a lung biopsy later we had a diagnosis, one a lot less scary then the process itself. Hopefully your experience is similar. Sending well wishes to you and yours!


Gain peace of mind that your family will be safe and comfortable in the case of an emergency. A KOHLER generator is intalled outside of your home and automatically turns on in the case of a power outage. This keeps your food safe to consume and your family comfortable in their own home.
Have power when you need it most with Kohler's outdoor generator. Florida's constant rain and powerful storms create many opportunities for the power to go out in your neighborhood. A generator will kick in mere seconds after a power outage so that you and your family can continue normal life during an outage. Our team of experts will quickly and easily install your generator outside, so you don't have to hear it or worry about any fumes while it's running.
The Kohler outdoor generator is placed outside of your home, but you won't have to run out to turn it on in a storm. Instead, it automatically kicks in during an outage. It's also completely powered by propane or natural gas, so you'll never have to manually refuel it. In the case of a power outage, just sit back, relax, and let your Kohler generator do all of the work for you.
Your home is almost entirely reliant on electricity to keep everything running. Luckily, the Kohler outdoor generator can handle it all. The power from your generator will keep your air conditioning, heating, refrigerator, electronics, lights, and water working during an outage. So, you won't have to worry about your family's comfort or losing any food in a storm.
Hotel room, dining out, property damage, etc.
Rinaldi's AC handles all of my HVAC servicing needs with professionalism and experience. The service industry is a tough one, as there are so many aspects to installing, repairing or servicing HVAC equipment. I can count on them 24/7. Theyre large enough to feel safe using, but small enough to care.

Motivational Interviewing Center makes an impact

By BILL BRUTON
"Motivational interviewing is basically a style of having conversations that are collaborative and respectful, and really focuses on the language of change and listening why someone might want to make a change and how they might go about it. "
Kurt H. Dermen, senior research scientist, Department of Psychiatry, and director
UB Motivational Interviewing Center
The University at Buffalo Motivational Interviewing Center (UBMIC) has only been in operation for two years, but it is already making an impact on the local, state and national levels.
The UBMIC provides training, consultation and implementation support services to help learners and organizations apply motivational interviewing to their work.
"Motivational interviewing is basically a style of having conversations that are collaborative and respectful, and really focuses on the language of change and listening why someone might want to make a change and how they might go about it," says Kurt H. Dermen, senior research scientist in the Department of Psychiatry and director of the UBMIC. "We want to help them achieve their goals."
Dermen and Molly Rath, UBMIC's lead trainer and project manager, are currently working with the Help Me Grow national center, which has affiliates throughout the U.S. that work on the promotion of health in early childhood.
Help Me Grow is engaged in a new initiative to ensure the services they provide are centered on parents' and caregivers' priorities, with the UBMIC playing a key role.
"They recently started a new initiative to make sure that what they're doing lines up with the goals of the people they're serving," says Dermen, a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of experience in the development, research and training of motivational interviewing interventions. "We've been working with them for almost a year in the preparation project, but at this point we're about to start the work of actually providing training services."
Dermen and Rath are working with affiliates in Long Island, Kansas and Orange County, California.
"We are training the people who staff their centralized access points in motivational interviewing, so they can better engage people who call, and better find out what their goals are, and guide them in ways they are likely to follow up on," says Dermen, who has been a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers since its inception in 1997.
The UBMIC will work with the Help Me Grow affiliates over the course of a year to help them apply motivational interviewing skills and approaches to their work.
"It's very collaborative. We at the MI Center and MI trainers in general are very collaborative in our work," Dermen says. "We're never going to come in and say, 'here's what you need to do, and here's how to do it. Call us when you're done.' It's more about learning from them what their strengths and goals are, and then seeing where motivational interviewing can fit and helping them learn those skills and apply them.
"It's always very collaborative," he points out, "rather than us being the experts and them being just receptacles. We co-design everything we do. We are as interested in their expertise and what they know about what works as we are in sharing our expertise."
Collaboration with School of Nursing
The UBMIC also has an ongoing relationship with UB's School of Nursing.
"They have contracted with us to provide motivational interviewing training to students. We have been doing this in one way or another for three or four years — I was actually doing it before the center started," Dermen says. "We will work with a group of 40 or 45 students throughout the year.
"We also provide experiences with simulated clients. We train people to act as a client, perhaps with a substance abuse or other mental health issue," he explains. "Then the student interacts with this simulated client for 20 minutes. We've trained this simulated client to respond in ways that make sense from a motivational interviewing standpoint.
"Students really like it," he adds. "They really appreciate the opportunity to try this out before working with real clients, and they really appreciate the feedback."
The UBMIC's work with the School of Nursing isn't just with nursing students. It has also worked with fellows in the Behavioral Health and Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) Scholars Program and the Opioid Workforce Expansion Program (OWEP) — graduate-level students from the School of Nursing, School of Social Work and Department of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology.
In addition, the UBMIC is also working with the New York State Commission for the Blind to train its workers in motivational interviewing techniques.
"Learning motivational interviewing is a complex skill," Dermen says. "It's like trying to learn the piano. You can watch somebody play the piano and say, 'OK, I can do that' and sit down and try it, but it's probably not going to get you very far. What really helps is trying something out, and having somebody sitting next to you saying, 'you know, try that again, but maybe do this instead.' And that's what we do in training people in MI.
"Motivational interviewing is very accepting of people," he notes. "They're always going to feel safe. We're never going to judge or criticize them. We're there to appreciate their situation, put ourselves in their shoes and use that as a starting point."

I believe you get points for pushing the other guy out, no disqualification.
And when you're 20 lbs heavier, that's what you do, despite everyone being aghast at it.
Then you put it on your CV 10 years later and claim to be a world champion. I think he's also a world champion flamenco dancer or something too. One word: D-I-C-K.

Was Charles Darwin's research peer-reviewed? Recently an article appeared in The New Yorker about the decline effect. As the years pass by it has become harder and harder to reproduce the results of a lot of earlier research in many fields:
"But now all sorts of well-established, multiply confirmed findings have started to look increasingly uncertain. It�s as if our facts are losing their truth. This phenomenon doesn�t yet have an official name, but it�s occurring across a wide range of fields, from psychology to ecology."
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/12/13/101213fa_fact_lehrer
Some possible explanations:
"According to the New Yorker report�read in full via Amazon�s Kindle�numerous fields are suffering from the decline effect. The New Yorker highlights the following issues with the scientific method.
" * Replicating an experiment and getting the exact same findings is difficult. Why? Regression to the mean. As an experiment is repeated statistical flukes get tossed out.
* The peer review process is flawed. Peer review is ultimately tilted to positive results.
* Publication bias. Journals and scientists aim for being statistically significant and this leads everyone aiming for positive results. We don�t want to see a null result. Researchers are 'significance chasing,' or interpreting data so it passes the statistical test of significance.
* Money. For instance, pharmaceutical companies have little interest in publishing results that aren�t favorable. Validating a hypothesis is all the more gratifying if there�s financial gain to be made.
* Selective reporting. The New Yorker notes that selective reporting isn�t fraud, it�s just that researchers may make subtle omissions and misperceptions as they try and explain their results. One example cited was the testing of acupuncture. In the West, acupuncture effectiveness is questioned. Not surprisingly, studies so acupuncture�s effectiveness isn�t all that great. In the East, the effectiveness is deemed higher. Scientists look for ways to confirm their preferred hypothesis."
http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/is-the-scientific-method-seriously-flawed/12947/
Why was Charles Darwin able to make so much progress? He didn't have to worry about obtaining funding for his research. He was born rich. He didn't have to deal with a party funding his research who might have a financial interest in obtaining a particular result. He didn't have to worry about obtaining a statistically significant result to increase his chances of getting published. What is good for a scientist's career in today's world may not be good for science itself. What one finds out through their own experimentation and observation is not necessarily less valid than what one reads in peer-reviewed journals by people with PhD's.

Unfortunately the math and biology don't go together.
34 lbs of muscle in 28 days equates to more than a pound of muscle per DAY. Muscle simply does not build that fast. Even with anabolics the body simply can't grow that rapidly. Sure in 28 days he could possibly look better but he didn't gain 34 lbs of muscle in that time.

Tim's newest book, The Four Hour Chef, was released this week. It's not just about cooking. It's about accelerated learning.
"WHAT IF YOU COULD BECOME WORLD-CLASS IN ANYTHING IN 6 MONTHS OR LESS?
"The 4-Hour Chef isn�t just a cookbook. It�s a choose-your-own-adventure guide to the world of rapid learning."
www.amazon.com/The-4-Hour-Chef
Forgot the ten thousand hour rule that you learned about in Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers. You can become an outlier in only six months. Tim will show you how you can make the same progress in months that most people take years to make. I'm part way through book. So far I've read about how Tim attained fluency in Japanese after one year as a foreign exchange student. After his year in Japan he scored better on a Japanese language test than a Japanese friend of his. He later attained fluency in Mandarin Chinese in six months, learned German in three months, and mastered Spanish in eight weeks. He set a world record in tango after only practicing for four months. A lot of his ideas make sense and are well worth the price of the book even if you don't always get the same results that he did.

Yes, it's that easy. Everyone can become world-class at something in just six months. Just ask anyone at the top of their field and they'll all tell you the same thing. They were bored one Saturday afternoon and decided to get involved in their something on a whim. And just six months later, they were on par with the best in the world.
Sarcasm aside, I believe most people can learn how to do most things in 6 months, and they can be relatively good at them if they persist.However world class? Yeah right.

The before and after pictures appear to be intentionally deceptive. The camera wasn't at the same distance from the guy. Did he also grow six inches in that month? The lighting it different, he's pasty white in the first picture and all spray-tanned in the second...
I used to be a good 30 pounds heavier than I am now when I was training for mass only. It wouldn't be hard for me to put that weight back on. So, when I see before and after pictures like this, the first thing that comes to mind is that the guy was fit, let himself go, then trained again and got back into shape. It's easy to do. Then, you write a book (maybe even hire a ghostwriter) and use deceptive before and after pics as proof that the program works.

This blogger came to a similar conclusion:
"#1 The Easiest Way to Gain Muscle is to Regain Muscle
"Gaining a pound of muscle is hard work. It is far easier to let an existing pound of muscle atrophy and then regain it. Anyone that has had an arm or leg in cast knows this to be true....
"Tim�s trick was Mickey Rourke�s trick. Gain a bunch of muscle. Let your muscles atrophy. Take some before photos at a ridiculously low weight and then regain the muscle quickly. The problem with this chapter is that most of the readers are not in a position to regain what they never gained in the first place. This is why Neil Strauss gained 10 pounds of muscle in his 4 weeks and not 34 pounds. Ten pounds is commendable and it is more realistic for an untrained lifter that is working out hard and eating like crazy."
