See the attached pdf article. Also see a recent NSW Health notice regarding the staff specialist state award (I still don't fully understand the respective allowances and levels).

Aye, this is certainly possible. If, for example, increasing student numbers force the use of interviews, CVs or other 'merit' based systems for intern selection then there will be more room for university to impact selection (via covert 'old boys club' style links). A possible move could be the...

Ultimately I find that there is something about the therapeutic relationship, noting that this relationship often takes place in the face of things like reproduction, birth, sickness, decline, death, psychological distress, psychosis etc... I find it quite special to be privy to such significant...

If you take a public consultant and assume a salary of $200k, a working week of between 40 and 70 hrs (taking the weekend off), and no weeks off during the year you get something in the range of $54-96 / hour, which doesn't seem bad for a dependable income. Their are some (competitive)...

I briefly entertained the idea of taking up the NCAP mod position, but then realised that I would have to read not just the interesting threads, but also all the islam/israel/libertarian rant/socialist rant/flame threads. A Philosophy/Religion sub-form would be nice, but was essentially vetoed...

Existential Psychotherapy by Irvin Yalom It overflows with philosophy, literary excerpts, references to academic psychology and insight into the human condition. The core themes Yalom addresses are Death, Freedom, Isolation, and Meaninglessness. It's one of the few books that I am inclined to...

And so can you.

A win for science, but a loss for ironic poetics.

The fact that they frequently have to assess cognitive function in their line of work (and there is the element of self interest: if a doctor wishes to avoid beign sued they need to be able to recognise when denial of consent is issued from a state of sound mind). The prevalence of delirium (of...

Also, for those interested in audience figures: If I remember the figures right (I remember the shift but may be wrong on the starting figure for 'against): Pre-debate: 71% For, 14% Against Post-debate: 75% For, 19% Against Note that there was a greater shift (amongst the...

I just got back home from the debate. It was interesting seeing the debate take place in such a public forum. Some thoughts: Nitschke's argument was largely rhetorical hot air. Dr Cigolini was all medicine and not enough ethics/jurisprudence. Tony Abbott was rubbish (a garble of ad hominems...

Told statistically, the success of Ethan Hawke's character would have been but an anomaly - alas. Have pity for the human spirit.

In view of the *insert argument here* format on which we have converged I wish to call this debate a win for homosexuals. Bravo.

Seconded.

Consider, though, that the fetus could just as well develop into a psychopath (prevalence-wise this is not too unfair a comparison since the estimated prevalence of psycopathy, ~ 0.5-1%, is about on par with an IQ of 137 which is near the supposed 'genius' range). More pertinently, at present we...

The Pilot super grip A good pen. Its printing speed exceeds that of the standard Bic. It can be used for writing, pointing at things and opening plastic packets (by means of the 'stab' function). The engineering is good enough that the pen can be dis-, and then re-, assembled without...

On (3): Yes, a sheet can be used as a toga and for sleeping purposes (... as a sail, a table cloth, and so forth). On (4): No, provided you don't mind having it fall off (Google 'how to tie toga').

Consideration of the past can be valuable, but in this case you are using faulty logic to extrapolate from the past. You seem to argue in two directions: (1) that fascist regimes always feature eugenics and (2) that benign eugenics always leads to a troublesome fascist form On (1), consider...

Amputation as well.

Re: My Spiritual Beliefs- What would you clasify me as?/Personal Belief Thread Some variant on existential humanist? Two noticeable points of tension/contradiction: (1) "We hence control all of our emotions... etc" versus "Attraction is not a choice" (2) "I am highly scientific"...
