Acupuncture and Chinese medicine journal for practitioners and students

I want to know which is more excellent.
e.g. satellite, medical treatment, IT, infrastructure facilities.

astrologers, or astronomers ? when you look at the stars and study them, and use them to make predictions, how far ahead can you read “astrology weather?” can you predict what is going to happen in lets say- the next 5-10 years ? 20-50 years ? the movements in the sky “sound” predictable right?
but i don’t think they are-are they? well i mean, it takes 12 months to make a year 12 hours to make a day etc. etc. those are things that are predictable. ok anyways, about chinese astrology-why is chinese new year in february? that doesn’t make any sense to me,but i want it to. are chinese years different than ours ? what year are they on ? wouldn’t different …. years cause massive misunderstanding like right now? also, time has been dealt with in the past by the “catholic church? ” there used to be …13 months? 14 months ? and the days are different too ? there used to be 8 days? …..sigh, i can’t think right now – all i can remember is like SUNday and MOONday… anyways , tell me what you know about the original calendar combined or compared to the current one, and chinese years compared to our years and Also compared to the original calendar. hmmmmm well, the sky does look different in different countries right? i mean, in many countries in the east you can see the stars wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than over here right ? i guess that’s why there were more studies on it ? what do you think? i’ve got a random question based on religion- it seems that the catholics had great power – but in the time of Jesus , it was the romans that had the power. ok. then we have astrology. it is known today that catholics are against astrology- the romans were against Jesus correct? although, the greeks were the ones that created the many parts of astrology we know today? doesn’t that seem kind’ve ironic ? if you really really think about it. how many of you have studied greek mythology ? it is somewhat simliar to astrology although they are known as myths- but they are very simliar to astrology ! ? relating to , the weather changes , medicine , sex. i’m jumping around subjects i’m sorry. ok back to calenders- when you’ve studied the bible for many years , there are sayings that some people lived to 1,000 years or 300 years etc. although the calendar was different back then … a year was 10 months ? but a month was like 20 days ? i want to clear this up. astronomy has many stories that are pretty interesting , know any? have you heard the new theory that the egyptians were in fact -around 35,000B.C.? do you have any idea how that made me feel hearing that ? 35,000 years ? what does that make you feel or think?

I haven’t had a period in two years because of anorexia, I’ve been a healthy weight since October though and still nothing. I don’t believe in homeopathy btw.

I’ll try to keep this question shorter. My sister is recovering from heroine addiction (Quite seccessifully) and thinks acupuncture helps her on the days she feels particularly sick. I have tracked the frequency and duration of these bouts of illness for medical reasons. Acupuncture has had no clear effect.
She chewed me out when I told her Calms Forte had no active ingredient, so the illusion of help is important to her. Should I tell her acupuncture is not really helping or let her keep thinking she is doing something good for herself?

Natural disasters are not in themselves evil or a failure of God
every action there is a consequence-the definition of a consequence is really ANYTHING that occurs following a behavior
:The Tsunami is the result of human behavior, Man’s thoughts are responsible for all this”.
“Suffering and misery are the inescapable acts of the cosmic drama.but man invites them by way of retribution for his own evil deeds. This is corrective punishment which induces mankind to give up the wrong path and return to the right path”
we might distinguish two kinds of evil:
the awful things people do, such as murder, Hunt, and ETC
i once went on sportsman channel and it showed a family with 2 little 6-8 year old boys and they were shooting bears and deer and bunnys and they would pose by each animal. the kids seemed happy. how messed up are their minds? if the bear has a gun it would only be fair.
people hunt black panthers
for the fur that sells for a lot of money
people hunt black rhinos for their horns.
The rhino’s horn is a particularly precious ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine. Its value is comparable to gold.
the awful things that just happen, such as earthquakes.
Earthquakes kill thousands of innocent people(Include Children).
A single mom who’s raising her son in a chaotic, turbulent and hostile environment, is concerned because her 9-year-old son has killed his pet hamster and tortures the family dog.The four year old is a quiet boy,He has twice put the kitten in a dresser drawer, closing her in. Young children are too rough with animals and need proper supervision.
Psychologists say natural disasters are at the top of the hit list of children’s biggest fears

I’m a sophomore and currently taking 2 AP classes. However, I’m not doing very well. It’s finals week (we have semesters) and am already guaranteed at least 2 B s and most of my As are borderline. I’m very worried about my GPA right now, because this is one of the years that really count, especially UCs. One of my dream schools is UCSD, but I don’t know if I will be accepted at this rate. Some advice is greatly appreciated. I will post my grades so far
I just took my calculus AB final and I don’t think I did pretty well (I needed a C- on the final to keep my B-), so I might get a C ;_;. I’m taking my chemistry final tomorrow, but even if I get a perfect score, my grade will still be a B (Honors Chemistry is extremely hard in our school; the two teachers who teach the subject have a bad reputation among the students).

PS Are there any other factors that might affect your chances of enrollment into a university ( other than extra curricular, SAT scores, and a good essay)?

I have a question for your hunters:
Why do you go out and actively hunt (shoot and kill) deer and geese and other such animals?
Nature is taking revenge on people.
“Every thing can feel sensations”.
I’m not going to get very detailed, but basically everything in nature can feel, most people/modern science are not able to understand it, because they are not familiar with other dimensions.
PEOPLE SAY(retribution Of People)
“nature doesn’t have a brain”
NATURE SAY(retribution Of Nature)
“people doesn’t have a brain”
“Mother nature’s revenge against Human hunting”
I’m an animal lover, yes. But I completely accept hunting animals for survival (i.e you live in the woods). But I’m just having a hard time understanding city dwellers going on hunts for fun.
i once went on sportsman channel and it showed a family with 2 little 6-8 year old boys and they were shooting bears and deer and bunnys and they would pose by each animal. the kids seemed happy. how messed up are their minds? if the bear has a gun it would only be fair.
if anyone on here is a hunter aka killer of innocent animals please give me some reasons (excuses) why they kill(murder)
When people start doing it for ANY other reason it’s cruelty. Whether they it’s fun, it earns money, it’s helping the animal (uhhh… right.), it’s a tradition, ANYTHING, it’s not humane.
Personally I think it is wrong to do so for a sport/enjoyment. All that it takes is imagining myself as the deer and getting shot in the chest out of nowhere and slowly bleeding to death for 5-10 min
people hunt black rhinos for their horns.
The rhino’s horn is a particularly precious ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine. Its value is comparable to gold.
And just for the perverse pleasure of the hunt I suppose.
All rhino species are in trouble from poaching more than any other factor.The black rhino is in the most trouble,with wild numbers in the low hundreds.Rhino poachers kill them for the horn,which supposedly has medicinal properties.This has proven to be false,and rhinos continue to be poached,despite protective measures.
people hunt black panthers
for the fur that sells for a lot of money

In Cantonese, it’s pronounced “yiu qu”. It’s yellow, comes in pack of small chunks. Has a shape like this but a bit thicker:http://www.dreamstime.com/chopped-carrot…
My mom uses it in congee or soups. I need the English term for it!!

It depends.

My cup says “sans BPA free”. Is that a lawyer-type, double-negative “play on words” to escape a lawsuit?”
I got this cup and there’s a sticker on it that says “sans BPA free.” Like a lot of people, I took that to mean without BPA. Well, then I realized that “sans” means “without, lacking”. That is a bilingual double negative. Um, so that means NOT BPA FREE. Does that mean that my cup has BPA?
Just to make it clear, there’s a sticker on the side with the word “sans” on top, “BPA” in the middle, and “free” on the bottom. Then there’s a leaf under the word “free”. The cup has the word “bubba” on the side, so I assume that the brand is “Bubba.” The cup is made in China. Actually, another sticker on the bottom of the cup says “bubba 32 oz” and the barcode and barcode number, and the words “made in China”. The barcode number says 607869042341.
Some points in no particular order…
* It’s not a Chinese sticker. The cup was made in China, but the sticker was made in the USA.
* This could mean no BPA, but it could also mean some BPA. It’s what’s called a “double entendre” or “double speak.”
* Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used to make some polycarbonate plastic resins, epoxy resins, and other products, and often causes various bad health effects.
* Various online sources proclaim, “Bubba Kegs DO NOT contain BPA”. Maybe not anymore, but is Bubba slapping these “sans BPA free” stickers on their old cups that still have BPA? Also, electronic media can easily be altered and deleted. This sticker is tangible, and difficult to terminate in the event of a lawsuit, which is why it has to be carefully worded, and the sticker could be interpreted as “not BPA free.”
* According to some Canadian laws, a sticker must say that it’s BPA free in French, and the sticker could be interpreted that way. However, “sans” is both English and French. “Sans” is a “loan word.” Even if it is bilingual, does that still counter the fact that it’s ALSO a double negative?
* The Bubba brand could avoid ambiquity by having a sticker that says “Sans BPA / BPA free.” Note how BPA is used twice. THIS avoids a double entendre. I realize that there’s one sticker because it costs less than two stickers, but why not put the “BPA” twice anyway?
I posted this on the Words & Wordplay section, but I decided to repost it here because a lot of people don’t get it and thought that I needed other things explained to me, instead of answering my question. There are actually a lot of things that I understand about this that I don’t need explained to me. I understand why the common layman could be fooled into siding with corrupt companies and their corrupt lawyers. What I need to know is if it’s feasible for them to get away with it in our flawed judicial system.
What I want to know is if a lawyer could get away with this. Thank you.
