Real Estate Market Crash in 2018?
What happens between selling my house and settlement?


Now that Mia is 6 months old and becoming a bit more interested in toys and such I've been getting out some of the baby toys that we had packed away. This included Harry's sets of stacking cups, and I was reminded once again what a truly fantastic toy they are. They are so great that I decided to write a blog post in case anyone was looking for a simple, classic Christmas present for a baby or toddler.
Our main set was from Early Learning Centre, a snip at £6 (although I'm not sure about the colours of their current set, I think that ours are nicer). We also have a set from Ikea which were a true bargain, although don't currently seem to be available. The Ikea cups are good because each one has holes in a different place, brilliant for in the bath. I've seen them in lots of other places too, you can gets one in different shapes, wooden ones, ones with different numbers, different pictures - there are lots of variations!
Although I had packed them away as Harry moved on to other toys, he jumped on them when he saw them and has hardly stopped playing with them since they resurfaced. Now he is able to build them up into a tall tower by himself (he insists it is a lighthouse) and we had a fab time playing "Harry monster" where I built a tower and he marched over roaring and destroyed it.
In their time they have been in the sandpit, the bath, the activity table and chased about the floor. They have been filled with rice, pasta, sand, cars and sponges. I even used to carry the smallest two about with me in the change bag for a toy on the go.
It doesn't even matter if you buy a set for someone that already has them, as you can have lots of sets and they will still be played with! Buy a value pack of dried pasta to go with them and you are sorted.
I agree that these are the best toy ever. So many things you can do with them!
Lovely collection you have as we all know that kids love their toys most and if education is involved in playing then what can be better then this.


Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company with more than 90 years of innovation and leadership in diabetes care. From this heritage, the company has built experience and capabilities that also enable it to help people defeat other serious chronic conditions: haemophilia, growth disorders and obesity. Headquartered in Denmark, Novo Nordisk employs more than 40,000 people in 75 countries and markets its products in more than 180 countries.
Novo Nordisk's B shares are listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen (Novo-B). Its ADRs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NVO).
Since the days of the founders, a values-based management approach has guided decision-making. Today, this is codified in the Novo Nordisk Way which articulates the company purpose and vision, as well as a set of behaviours – essentials – that employees are expected to demonstrate, and are held accountable for through regular internal reviews and audits.
In 2003 the Board of Directors approved a proposal to integrated the company's annual financial report and the sustainability report. Since 2004 Novo Nordisk has produced an integrated annual report.
Over the years the format and contents have evolved, and so has the process of preparing the annual report, and the organisation has harvested valuable learnings. Notably, the commitment to report on performance in a concise format and with a holistic perspective on what drives performance over time has helped develop, drive and shape the integrated thinking and management approach in the company.
At Novo Nordisk integrated thinking, articulated as the TBL approach, is embedded in the management processes via solid governance structures from the strategic level to the day-to-day operations managed by internal targets set in the Balanced Scorecard. The Novo Nordisk Annual Report is the most important document for communicating externally how the company is managed and performs according to TBL.
As an early mover in the discipline of Integrated Reporting, Novo Nordisk has contributed to the development of the <IR> Framework. While not yet fully aligned with the Framework, the company has benefited from the guidance provided and the important conversations and knowledge sharing in the business network.
Novo Nordisk's journey towards Integrated Reporting has been well documented by several external authors. For inspiration, please see One report: Integrated reporting for a Sustainable Strategy by Robert G. Eccles, Michael P. Krzus and Don Tapscott (2010), Accounting for Sustainability, Practical Insights by Anthony Hopwood, Jeffrey Unerman and Jessica Fries (2010), and The Integrated Reporting Movement: Meaning, Momentum, Motives, and Materiality by Robert G. Eccles and Michael P. Krzus (2014). Or watch an interview with Susanne Stormer, VP, Corporate Sustainability (Chief Sustainability Officer), on Novo Nordisk's journey towards integrated reporting.

Customers will always leave with a piece of history after a day of shopping at Kathy's E Boutique.
Talk about a "Blast from the Past," Kathy's E Boutique in North Hollywood is reopening! Come for the fun and memorable experience of a NoHo pillar returning to the neighborhood.
A year ago, Kathy's E Boutique closed their doors due to extensive building renovations. Kathy and Ernestine, co-owners of this unique vintage shop, had hoped they would return to their old space. But after a year being without a store, they couldn't wait any longer. Fortunately, they have many NoHo friends that kept their eyes open for a new home for Kathy's E Boutique. A storefront located at 11054 Magnolia, in the heart of the NoHo Arts District, became available and Kathy and Ernestine jumped for this opportunity to come back home. Kathy's E Boutique is like a historic landmark, not the building but their business. They had been in North Hollywood for almost 22 years. They were and will be again the neighborhood "hang out" for an eclectic mix of young and old, poor and rich....Always having the latest gossip on the street and the best tidbits about vintage fashion.

McMillen Yachts, Inc. & Mathis Yacht Building Company, llc.
Sequoia: 104 footer
Maemere: 110 footer
Captiva: 110 footer
Truant: 120 footer
The refined designs of the American motor yachts built from the late 1920s through the early 1930s and exemplified by the work of the renowned naval architect John Trumpy are available to the discerning yachtsman once again! McMillen Yachts, with our decades of experience in classic yacht restoration, has married these designs with traditional boatbuilding talents and the modern construction techniques of today! Until now these timeless designs were only available for those few who have been willing to take on the many challenges of restoring and maintaining a classic wooden motor yacht. If John Trumpy were alive today, it is our assertion that he would be building his innovative designs with the finest materials and latest systems available while continuing to employ the many long lasting traditions and techniques that have survived the test of time.
For those yachtsmen who are looking for an alternative to the standard tinted, tear drop windows and condominium-like interiors, look no further. Until now, there have been no options in the large production motor yacht market for the eco-minded person of means and good taste. It is our belief that these magnificent designs of the 1920s & 30s were abandoned only in the industryís quest to develop a yacht with lower maintenance costs, following the troubled economic times that lead to World War II and which culminated in the mass produced, modern designs of post war America. Today we are equipped to build a custom yacht in fiberglass hull construction, but with all of the appeal of a classic Trumpy yacht!
Another feature, which is very important to us in the construction of these yachts, is their environmentally sensitive qualities. To begin with, even with their fiberglass hulls, they will be built largely of wood, a renewable resource. We will be implementing many energy efficient systems, including an optional hybrid biodiesel-electric power plant. And most important, is the great energy efficiency of these easily driven displacement hulls, inherent in their design. While it is necessary to power typical modern yachts of this size with multi-thousand horse power engines in order to drive their hulls through the water at high speeds, our designs require as little as a few hundred horse power to drive them at a comfortable 12 knot cruising speed!
We will begin by offering the 120-foot Truant! Originally designed in 1929 and built in 1930, Truant was the second to largest Mathis-Trumpy ever built and represented the pinnacle of John Trumpyís career. Once our modern reproduction of Truant is under construction, we will begin taking orders for additional 120 footers and also offer reproductions of the 104 foot Sequoia. She was originally built in 1925 and served as the Presidential Yacht from 1933 until 1977, under seven U.S. Presidents. We will also offer two versions of the 110 footers, Maemere & Captiva, originally built in 1929 & 1931 respectively and each featuring two very distinctive deckhouse arrangements.
If your wish is to own an original classic wooden Mathis-Trumpy motor yacht, then please consider our fractional yacht ownership program featuring three of the finest examples of restored Trumpys in the world!

Characteristics of pseudoscience
Published Monday 14 September 2020
We probably all think we know what is meant by 'pseudo-science'. But, in fact, the more you think about it, the less certain you are likely to become. Many very smart people have tried shed some light on this question and, in the end, had to admit that it is far from clear.
In his book 'Decision Making and Rationality in the Modern World', Keith Stanovich makes a fresh attempt to tackle the problem. Here is a list of criteria that he deems important:
• The use of psychobabble – words that sound scientific, but are used incorrectly, or in a misleading manner. For example, "energy therapies" for psychological problems are often premised on biofeedback, meridian lines, quantum energies, and a host of other concepts that may sound impressive, but lack evidence.
• A substantial reliance on anecdotal evidence. Evidence for pseudoscience is typically anecdotal and consequently difficult to verify. For a class example, instructors may want to show students the Q-Ray bracelet website 1 and read the many quotes submitted by Q-Ray users. Although the quotes sound compelling, there is no scientific evidence to support any claims attached to them. In fact, the Q-Ray company lost a lawsuit in 2011 and was ordered to refund over $11 million dollars to people who purchased a Q-Ray bracelet.
• Extraordinary claims in the absence of extraordinary evidence (Truzzi, 1978; Sagan, 1995). In pseudosciences, assertions are often highly implausible in light of existing knowledge yet are not backed by convincing evidence. For a class example, instructors may wish to describe how infomercials promoting Q-Ray bracelets state that the "bracelet rips [pain] right out of the body 2." and are "designed to optimize your natural positive energy 1."
• Unfalsifiable claims – Most pseudoscientific claims are incapable of being refuted in principle. For example, proponents of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe the human body has an invisible energy force called Qi (Zollman and Vickers, 1999). Qi is a crucial component of TCM, even though it cannot be measured or tested scientifically.
• An absence of connectivity to other research (Stanovich, 2010). Connectivity refers to the extent to which assertions build on extant knowledge. For example, homeopathic practitioners state that homeopathic treatments become stronger as they become more dilute, and that water has memory. Both of these claims run counter to established scientific knowledge (Singh and Ernst, 2008).
• Absence of adequate peer review. Peer review is far from perfect, but it is a key safeguard against error. Instructors may wish to encourage students to contrast the claims advanced by the authors of peer-reviewed versus non-peer-reviewed articles.
• Lack of self-correction. Pseudosciences frequently persist despite refutation. Often, proponents of pseudoscience will use the idea that since the treatment or idea has been used for thousands of years it must be correct (e.g., astrology), an error often called the ad antiquetem fallacy (or, argument from antiquity).
Yes, I know, nothing fundamentally new here. Nonetheless, I thought the list was thought-provoking, particularly as it harps back to themes which we have discussed regularly on this blog. Stanovich's list is certainly not comprehensive. Feel free, if you think you can add new aspects to the features that characterise pseudoscience.

really dont know why i bother repeating myself,but if you look you can see that water memory has been scientifically verified in 2016 by nobel scientist Monsignor,please check this out
Edzard on Monday 14 September 2020 at 10:29
"really dont know why i bother repeating myself"
NEITHER DO I!
[because it's not true]
zebra on Monday 14 September 2020 at 11:08
I would suggest use of the phrase "scientifically verified" is a good marker of nonsense (maybe it's a special case of psychobabble)
thanks for the book tip – i just ordered it.
David B on Monday 14 September 2020 at 11:46
I think by "Monsignor" you may mean Luc Montagnier: https://subtle.energy/nobel-laureate-says-water-has-a-memory/
Am I right? Or perhaps there's a Monsignor I've not read about, doing similar work; in which case I'd be interested to read about it.
I'm sure we all agree that in matters of science (or anything, really) it's quite important to get the details right! I was interested to note the following claim, on the website linked above:
"He demonstrates how the informational signal of virus DNA can be captured in water and transformed into a digital signal that can be emailed to another computer on the other side of the world. The digital file is received by this distant computer and used to reconstitute the virus DNA in a glass of water".
I am not totally sure what this is meaning – even though English is my first language. I THINK – but am totally open to correction – that it means the glass of water on the other side of the world already has virus DNA in it, and that the digital signal "reconstitutes" this already-present virus DNA. If my interpretation is correct, a lot hange on the definition of the word "reconstitutes". Can you help me with that, Sean?
Also, what is meant by "virus DNA"? I understand that it is necessary to differentiate between DNA viruses and RNA viruses, but never having studied biology, my knowledge of this is extremely sketchy.
If, on the other hand, the two sentences I pasted above, are saying that a glass of water with no virus DNA in it, had virus DNA put into it by a digital signal emailed from the other side of the world, then that is so big a discovery that virtually all science will have to stop, and start again from new beginnings. Unless, of course, the claim is not true.
I have not (yet) watched the YouTube video on the website. Perhaps that will make everything clear……
Dr Julian Money-Kyrle on Thursday 17 September 2020 at 01:11
David B,
I'm afraid I haven't watched the YouTube video either. I tend to reserve YouTube for watching musical performances, of which there are many that are worthwhile. Which reminds me that I would love to ask you some time about temperaments as they relate to piano tuning…
From what I can establish, Montagnier was a microbiologist who won the Nobel prize in Medicine for identifying the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Much later, in 2009, at the age of 77, he published a research study entitled "Electromagnetic Signals Are Produced by Aqueous Nanostructures Derived from Bacterial DNA Sequences" in which he concluded that viral and bacterial DNA which had been prepared in highly diluted and agitated aqueous solutions were able to emit specific radio waves, and another study which purported to show that viral RNA in the blood of AIDS patients treated with antiretroviral drugs could be detected electromagnetically. This work was published in a journal of which he was the editor without having undergone peer review, and so far nobody else has been able to replicate his findings.
I suppose that if such an electromagnetic signal could be detected then the measurements could be digitised and transferred electronically, though it seems rather far-fetched to suggest that this signal could then somehow be transferred back to another container of water and that would reconstitute the oridinal DNA.
On the other hand, if you have a DNA sample it is a standard process to amplify it using the polymerase chain reaction, then to sequence it (most molecular biology labs have a machine that will do this in an afternoon). The sequence can then be emailed to a number of commercial biotech companies who can synthesise it for you and send it back by courier. However, I don't think that is quite what Montagnier was talking about.
It seems to me that this is a manifestation of what can happen when successful academics stray beyond their specialist expertise into areas where they have no background or training, and yet, having reached the top of their profession, to widespread acclaim, fail to realise that in other fields they are still novices. Or possibly he has just lost the plot, as Tesla did in his later years.
At least Einstein had the sense to decline the presidency of Israel when it was offered to him.
Pete Attkins on Monday 14 September 2020 at 12:18
"Monsignor [noun]: The title of various senior Roman Catholic posts, such as a prelate or an officer of the papal court."
https://www.lexico.com/definition/monsignor
Perhaps you meant Luc Montagnier. See:
Luc Montagnier and the Nobel Disease by David Gorski
https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/luc-montagnier-and-the-nobel-disease/
Yes. One was aware of this clerical appellation. One cannot rule out the possibility of a senior Catholic cleric working in a scientific field, to whose work Sean refers…….

mark thornton on Tuesday 15 September 2020 at 17:28
NO – it hasn't! this is psychobabble, pseudoscience – and demonstrably untrue!
markko on Tuesday 15 September 2020 at 19:04
You should at least get the name right. It is Montagnier not Monsignor and no, he did not verify water memory scientifically in 2016.
Gold (@BPOverlords) on Tuesday 15 September 2020 at 20:11
Even if this was the case, (which it isn't, because, you know… research), how do the homeopathy proponents account for the bulk use of pillules to deliver their product? Sugar memory?
Or, for that matter, the use of alcohol as the solvent to carry this supposed 'memory'?
Jashak on Monday 14 September 2020 at 10:51
Dear Ernie,
you might wonder why I use this derogative way to address you. Well, this is because I discovered that you have FOOLED ME with your stories about pseudoscience for several years!
But since yesterday, this is over. I have now joined team Ullman, Hümmer, Sandra, and all the other heroes. Not only did I find definitive proof that homeopathy works, I even discovered an effect that I will call "SUPRA HOMEOPATHY (TM)" from now on!
The following case report is 100% true.
This Saturday, I woke up in the morning and noticed that my right eye was red, itching and clearly swollen. I had no clue where this came from or what this was, but since I enrolled as a volunteer at a local election the next day, I was worried that I could not go if this would get worse.
So first, I tried some allopathic eye drops (Azelastin), but this did not help much. Most of the allopathic doctors of course are closed on Saturdays (another proof that they do not care for holistic patient treatment…) so going there was no option. Then I thought I might go to a pharmacy and ask for help.
And THEN, this DECISIVE THOUGHT crossed my mind: "I wonder if they would try to sell some homeopathic BS to me if I would go…".
And guess what: in the following hours AFTER THIS THOUGHT, symptoms were starting to get BETTER AND BETTER. And yesterday morning, the eye was completely FINE and I went to the local election.
You might call this an anecdote, but I KNOW it is true!
So my LOGICAL conclusions are that:
1.	Even THINKING about a homeopathic remedy can already relive symptoms (probably on a quantum energy level). This is very logical, because thinking is even LESS materialistic than diluting a chemical substance (=>huge potentization effect)
2.	Allopathic medicine is useless, it does not care about an individual patient like me. Money is all that counts.
3.	You are a just a self-proclaimed "Professor" that misleads gullible people to become so-called "Skeptics". From your ivory tower, you might call SUPRA HOMEOPATHY (TM) another case of pseudoscience.
But as you must admit, you are just ignorant of all the possible quantum- and nanoeffects, that might explain the miraculous healing I experienced.
So: GOOD DAY, SIR!
another convert has seen the light
Hosianna !!!
Furthermore, we should not rule out the possibility that if you washed or showered while having these thoughts, the potency of your thought energy may have been transferred to the washing or shower water and imprinted upon it, such that even as I type, it will be producing measurable beneficial biochemical effects within the municipal drainage system.
Thoughts, after all, depend on electromagnetic phenomena, and we have seen from the work of Benveniste and Montagnier that information can be stored in water by such means.
WOW, David… MIND BLOWN is all that I can say to your completely accurate inference.
Unfortunately, I did NOT take a shower right then. But if a similar health problem occurs again, I promise that I won´t miss the opportunity. I´ll jump right in the shower and perform SUPRA HOMEOPATHY… as hard as I can.
I actually feel kind of guilty now that I missed the opportunity to spread the ultimate cure for sore eyes around my community
Well, as they say, hindsight is 20/20 vision.
The discoverer of a major phenomenon is to be forgiven subsequent small lapses, in the initial flush of excitement. No doubt Archimedes forget his keys on going out, after shouting Eureka!
Sandra on Monday 14 September 2020 at 22:44
@Jashak
I would have approached the ocular problem you described with homeopathy and followed the advice of my family homeopath who I have always been able to consult 24/7 via telephone. I have a cabinet full of hundreds of individual homeopathic remedies of different potencies and several first aid remedy kits, such as this one:
https://www.homeopathyworks.com/top-100-remedy-kit/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8NLlu8bp6wIVUNbACh1MdQ6XEAAYASAAEgJiHfD_BwE
If there was a similimum, my homeopath would most likely have recommended one of these remedies:
Jashak on Tuesday 15 September 2020 at 20:45
I am not sure why anyone would prefer using homeopathic consultations or remedies to my new treatment "SUPRA HOMEOPATHY" (TM; all rights reserved).
Since my treatment is for free and -as I have strong evidence for- works perfectly… wouldn´t you be stupid if you would pay money for a homeopath or a homeopathic remedy?!

Missing in the list is the matter that usually emersed in the charge to some matter of pseudoscience there is some charismatic leader or some maverick scientist leading the way or at least lurking in the background.
Anti-vaccine has plenty of celebrities, and of course has Dr. Wakefield. Chiropractic was founded by D. D. Palmer, Homeopathy by Samuel Hahnemann, remote healing by Edgar Cacey. It goes on with no end and they all seem to translate their abilities into cash.
But to your wider point, yes, pseudo-science does share this characteristic, but the distinction s blurred.
From dark to light (omitting many):
Flexner
Pasteur (number one! What a lovely bucolic name, splendid for propaganda.)
Nightingale (the epidemiologist with the lamp)
Marshall and Warren
Crick and Leary
Pauling
Semmelweis

I have a copy of the book that Ernst mentions. In essence it does not say or mention homeopathy. However, it is interesting how Ernst mentions it as his last way of trying to stop something that is already embedded in society.
"The use of psychobabble – words that sound scientific, but are used incorrectly, or in a misleading manner. For example, "energy therapies" for psychological problems are often premised on biofeedback, meridian lines, quantum energies, and a host of other concepts that may sound impressive, but lack evidence."
As for homeopathy, the use of the concept of energy is well established in both medical philosophy and physics. Your accusation is absurd.
"A substantial reliance on anecdotal evidence. Evidence for pseudoscience is typically anecdotal and consequently difficult to verify. For a class example, instructors may want to show students the Q-Ray bracelet website 1 and read the many quotes submitted by Q-Ray users. Although the quotes sound compelling, there is no scientific evidence to support any claims attached to them. In fact, the Q-Ray company lost a lawsuit in 2011 and was ordered to refund over $11 million dollars to people who purchased a Q-Ray bracelet."
"Typically" is very ambiguous. And even if anecdotal evidence was "typically" used by "pseudoscientists," it is by no means an excuse to invisibilize that there is currently a body of evidence solid enough to say that homeopathy is better than placebo.
"Extraordinary claims in the absence of extraordinary evidence (Truzzi, 1978; Sagan, 1995). In pseudosciences, assertions are often highly implausible in light of existing knowledge yet are not backed by convincing evidence. For a class example, instructors may wish to describe how infomercials promoting Q-Ray bracelets state that the "bracelet rips [pain] right out of the body 2." and are "designed to optimize your natural positive energy 1.""
Truzzi dismissed the adage of "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", since paradoxically it is an unfalsifiable claim.
"Unfalsifiable claims – Most pseudoscientific claims are incapable of being refuted in principle. For example, proponents of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe the human body has an invisible energy force called Qi (Zollman and Vickers, 1999). Qi is a crucial component of TCM, even though it cannot be measured or tested scientifically."
It's obvious Ernst didn't read Popper!
"An absence of connectivity to other research (Stanovich, 2010). Connectivity refers to the extent to which assertions build on extant knowledge. For example, homeopathic practitioners state that homeopathic treatments become stronger as they become more dilute, and that water has memory. Both of these claims run counter to established scientific knowledge (Singh and Ernst, 2008)."
Ernst, you're not a physicist, but your partner Simon. Your word in this field is irrelevant to that of prominent scientists like Luc Montagnier and his team of physicists who say the opposite to you and Sigh. Your book has no scientific value and Sigh has severe conflicts of interest with Sense About Science.
"Absence of adequate peer review. Peer review is far from perfect, but it is a key safeguard against error. Instructors may wish to encourage students to contrast the claims advanced by the authors of peer-reviewed versus non-peer-reviewed articles."
Homeopathy journal is an example that contradicts your claim.
"Lack of self-correction. Pseudosciences frequently persist despite refutation. Often, proponents of pseudoscience will use the idea that since the treatment or idea has been used for thousands of years it must be correct (e.g., astrology), an error often called the ad antiquetem fallacy (or, argument from antiquity)."
In reality that comment applies to you and ECSO, a group of sectarians who despite all the evidence favorable to homeopathy continue to insist on infallible nonsense like Truzzi's phrase, reproached by himself. The world is spinning and you, Ernst, are left behind.

Another exercise in piss-poor flimflam and handwaving, Lolsie, but still no evidence. As far as I recall, all you've posted so far are a few links to iris Bell's long-derided exercises in misappropriation of the laboratory method to supposedly show basophil degranulation triggered by homeopathic remedies. Where are the unarguable, knock-down well-conducted clinical trials? If homeopathy worked as well as you claim, surely there would be loads which you could link to to shut up us nasty cynics with all our well-conducted trials which demonstrate no effect, like the Cochrane ones here
Oh no. There I am presenting evidence and an argument again in the way that you claim I don't. Ball's in your court, Pops. I'm expecting another swing and a miss whilst you claim that the ball is the wrong shape and someone's given you a bat you're not used to.
what arrant, ignorant drivel. "Sigh" – you can't even get the name right!
"Homeopathy journal" – as if anything even remotely useful could ever get published in such a rag.
Luc Montagnier is a classic example of "Nobel disease" – like Linus Pauling and Brian Josephson and so many others he fell prey to thinking he was an expert in areas outside his area of expertise and that he was invincible – hence:
"Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier inaccurately claims that the novel coronavirus is man-made and contains genetic material from HIV" – utter poppycock!
he believed he had found evidence of structure "like DNA in water" to show homeopathy worked!
Totally deluded – this is a good reason the French do not allow old men to get government research funds to waste on such crap! Like Benveniste before him he has disappeared down a rabbit hole of ultradiluted nonsense.
There is no evidence for "Nobel disease". Although if you disagree with me you can tell me if it is included in the DSM manual. Montagnier's paper are avaliable on the Net, and their research was replicated many times.
Mojo on Thursday 17 September 2020 at 11:56
…and their research was replicated many times.
Seems to be a day for mis-spellings
ad antiquitatem (with the stress on the missing second 'a', long)
which could be conflated with other fallacies often employed in pseudo-skeptic propaganda
ad verecundiam (false authority – reference to popular papers by hugely biased players, say)
ad populum (common knowledge fallacy – as in your point about lack of connectivity between familiar allopathy and its unfamiliar and much misunderstood complement homeopathy)
and I suppose your own old favourite
the Prime Pseudo-Skeptic Fallacy argumentum ad ignorantiam – appeal to ignorance – suggesting that a lack of available evidence implies a lack of effect.

There are plenty of easily seen effects in real life that have yet to be explained by western establishment science….yet the latter continues to express itself condescendingly as if a whole range of phenomena are simply not existing.Example….. water divining, which is known to have been accurately used for many centuries worldwide,do check out the history.
At the same time anything supposedly happening in outer space such as black holes forming is reported almost with a fanfare for the 'God genius' Einstein(i do not subscribe exactly to this mathmaticians decription of the universe but side here with Nikola Tesla a noted sceptic of Einstein,what did he invent ??an awful lot more than Einstein!)but i agree with the sceptic…practice counts more than than theory and thats why i can say homeopathy has worked for me ,not all the time but more often than not
Now Montagnier (sorry i got the name wrong)has a nobel prize in your discipline,but you are taking a condescending position against his research because of the area he is working in?
Edzard on Wednesday 16 September 2020 at 20:11
the results of water divining disappear when submitted to a rigorous experiment.
homeopathy has worked for me: https://edzardernst.com/2020/09/reasons-why-ineffective-treatments-can-appear-to-be-effective/
just try to think a bit, Sean!
i have read your article,i find alot of its points rather weak…yes i sadly came into believing in pseudoscience because in my own life modern establishment medicine failed me with something that it was slow to take seriously at the time,namely IBS ,which is now taken seriously.Various hospitals and painful enemas and testing had no solution,i turned to a pseudoscience which diagnosed accurately my internal issue and treated me within a month, a condition i had had for 12 years.
Within the human body your kind of science has a limited view of systems,it will seek to examine microscopically then arrive at a solution involving often complex therapies, and huge amounts of money and of course there are scams and fraudsters,just as in the world of pseudoscience.
it seems what your whole 'spiel' is about,is your belief that the noble scientist and rigerous scientific method are the only tools and measured and 'accepted' cause and effect at this point in time is all your science will discove,r rather like an old fortress keeping out its future intrepretations of the universe.
Please dont give me a lame and easy answer
Edzard on Thursday 17 September 2020 at 06:47
there is no answer to this level of stupidity and ignorance.
Björn Geir on Thursday 17 September 2020 at 13:43
IBS is a heavily stress and conflict related functional intestinal motility problem. By definition, nothing somatic (body related) is found when excluding somatic causes, like your Dr seems to have dutifully done. Patients often misunderstand when the doctor explains and run for do called alternative medicine. Not the least when they suggest underlying psychological factors. When they are
then pampered by the practitioner and promised a fake "cure" of any kind, they may feel relief, which can alleviate the underlying stress and thereby seem like a cure. Also entering a cultish faith based social environment may provide the so ial interaction they needed to get out of the underlying conflict and stress inducing situation.not bad in itself but the problem is if they are financially or socially fleeced when they could just have listened to the real doctor and tried to work on the underlying problem, which can be related to lifestyle, unemployment, school-stress, relationship problems, anxiety disorder etc. etc.
i do not subscribe exactly to this mathmaticians decription of the universe but side here with Nikola Tesla a noted sceptic of Einstein,what did he invent ??an awful lot more than Einstein!
As far as I know Einstein didn't invent anything. He noted the experimental observation that the speed of light was constant not matter how and where you measured it, and explored what might follow if this were true. The result was his theory of special relativity, which made predictions about the behaviour of objects moving very fast and which differed from the predictions of Newtonian mechanics. He went further and the result was general relativity, which explains gravity. Both of these theories make specific predictions such as time dilation and gravitational lensing, which have been borne out by experiment many times since then and which form the basis of much of modern technology (for instance the effect of gravity on time needs to be taken into account in order for SatNav to function). So far nobody has been able to falsify relativity experimentally.
Einstein was awarded the Nobel prize, however, for his work on the photoelectric effect, which showed that light was quantised.
I would be interested to know what aspect of Einstein's work you take issue with.
Lollypop on Monday 21 September 2020 at 00:24
"our well-conducted trials which demonstrate no effect, like the Cochrane ones here"
"our". You make me laugh Lenny. NHS website mentioned six reviews about homeopathy.
Homeopathic medicines for adverse effects of cancer treatments
There is no convincing evidence for the efficacy of other homeopathic medicines for adverse symptoms and skin reactions related to radiotherapy. Two small studies were positive but both had an unclear risk of bias
Homeopathic Oscillococcinum® for preventing and treating influenza and influenza‐like illness.
In our review, we directly address the subject of high dilution (How the interventionmightwork). Studiesin recentdecades with a variety of instruments have demonstrated the ability to distinguish various homeopathic medicines as well as different potencies of the same medicines. Recent studies reveal that homeopathic remedies contain nanoparticles of source materials formed by mechanical grinding in lactose and/or succussion (forceful agitation) in ethanolic solutions combined with silica nanostructures formed during succussions in glass.[iv] Other studies using various physical and physico-chemical methods have demonstrated persistent structural modifications as a resultof homeopathic preparation methods. e.g.[v],[vi], [vii] These technologies have not yetbeen appliedto Oscillococcinum ® , but the assertion that no such instrument exists is incorrect.
Homeopathy for chronic asthma
The currently available evidence is insufficient to assess reliably the possible role of homeopathy in the treatment of asthma
Homeopathic medicinal products for preventing and treating acute respiratory tract infections in children
There is insufficient evidence from two pooled individualised treatment studies (N = 155) to determine the effect of homeopathy on short-term cure (OR 1.31, 95% CI 0.09 to 19.54; very low-quality evidence) and long-term cure rates (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.10 to 9.96; very low-quality evidence). Adverse events were reported inconsistently; however, serious events were not reported. One study found an increase in the occurrence of non-severe adverse events in the treatment group.
Homeopathy for dementia
In view of the absence of evidence, it is not possible to comment on the use of homeopathy in treating dementia.
Homoeopathy for induction of labour
This review included two trials. There were no differences seen in any of the primary outcome measures described in this review. Unfortunately, the quality of the trials was difficult to assess because of insufficient detail in the research papers, and the small sample sizes provide inadequate power. There is little research to assess the effectiveness of remedies in stimulating the onset of labour. The lack of data in this area is compounded by a lack of relevant clinical outcome data which could be included into this review. The use of caulophyllum may not represent common homoeopathic practice, where the prescribing of a therapy would be more individualised.
Leny, of the 6 Cochrane reviews: one did not find data to analyze and the rest mentioned insufficient evidence o "convincing", not lack of evidence. Even the most negative, Hawke review, has to admit that there is some evidence, even if at the end of the article it contradicts itself. The quality assesment is not objective as an statician pointed out:
For most trials of homeopathy the quality guidelines are post hoc, like de Lange's trial. This trial was conducted by the renowned Dutch EMGO medical research institute in a university hospital. [20] At that time (1994) it was considered a top quality trial, but later degraded to low quality by Hawke et al. [21] Apparently, even a top research institute–with no conflicting interests – cannot foresee future quality criteria.
Lenny on Monday 21 September 2020 at 07:58
You don't prove a negative. Science doesn't work like that.
Are you trying to imply that those stack of quotes constitute a ringing endorsement for homeopathy?
Truly pathetic.
Science also proves negative, otherwise you could not say that homeopathy " does not work." But I can not expect much from a fool who thinks that others are fools and believes that no one will read what he shares, as in this case the Cochrane reviews.


Hello, I'm looking in to different types of programming, and I was wondering what the pros and cons are for each one, or if some are just simply better than the other.
I already have adobe flash, so I have AS3 available to me, but I'm not sure if that will suit my needs in this. I'm looking at pretty much all types. Java, AS3, #C, the works.
In short, what are the upsides and downsides to each type of code? Say, for a 2D RPG game, with multiplayer via LAN? Or, which type of code would be best suited for something like that, and what programs support it?
Replies To: Pros and Cons of different types of code?
Re: Pros and Cons of different types of code?
Generally speaking, for any large-scale, performance-intensive game I would recommend C++.
C# and Java work too, but not nearly as well in my opinion. However they can be much easier to pick up and use.
1. Is it possible for AS3 to fulfil that type of task? Considering I already have it. I don't really have a problem switching if necessary.
2. Which programs are best to support C++, C# and Java?
3. I make art in Adobe Flash most of the time. One of the reasons I got it was for animating, artwork and coding. Would I still be able to create and use my artwork in those other programs? I'd assume as pngs, but would that mess with the quality in transfer?
You need to think about which platforms you will be targeting for your game before looking to which language to write it in!

Invitation to Aid the Supply Train
Logs » Invitation to Aid the Supply Train
Xanadu Weyr - Weyrleaders' Office
Office and retreat, this is the domain of Xanadu's Weyrleaders. The door is in the eastern wall, quite close to the southern end while the northern wall is dominated by big, expansive windows, framed by sumptuous deep blue drapes edged with a brilliant gold braid and tied back with a thick rope of braided gold and blue cord. In between, the eastern wall is covered floor to ceiling with shelves that house all sorts of records, manuals and supplies that are used on a day-to-day basis. The southern wall has the Weyrleader's desk — plain fellis wood, well polished and masculine. From behind his desk, the Weyrleader can look straight through the windows and out onto the main airspace of Xanadu. The western wall is where the Weyrwoman's desk resides: a lovely piece of furniture made of warm cherry wood. From her seat, a glance sideways gives her an equally good prospect out the window. There are a few other seats, some comfortably arranged around a low round table for small, informal meetings while there also some that can be drawn up to one of the desks.
On the south side of the door, the space is occupied by a low oblong table where refreshments can be set without someone needing to intrude. There is also an 'incoming' tray where incoming correspondence or similar items can be left.
It's evening, getting on towards late but D'son still sits in the office, tapping away on the computer and waiting for Sigam, notified by note and verbally earlier that he was expected in the Weyrleader's office.
A gust of cold air announces Sigam's arrival seconds before the Dragonhealer scoots into the Weyrleader's office, hair askance, but eyes bright with curiosity. He takes a second to rearrange his windblown attire before clearing his throat and ducking his head. "Ah, greetings, Weyrleader. Sorry I'm late. Bumped into an acquaintance that needed help." By the tone of voice, he wasn't very thrilled by the bump-in, but he's trying to seem polite.
Up come hazel eyes taking in Sigam's appearance and D'son grins. "It's all right, working on some … stuff," the young Weyrleader says with a little shake of his head and gets to his feet. "Have a seat? I wanted to talk to you a little about Ista."
"Stuff. That sounds entertaining," Sigam notes dryly with a sympathetic grin for D'son. He does as he's told and takes a seat, but when the Weyrleader mentions Ista, Sigam's instantly on the edge of it. Poised for flight? Intrigued? Even the Dragonhealer doesn't know. "Ah… Ista, sir? What about it?" Eyebrows raise as he manages a lofty look, hiding the quick flash of guilt that was there only a second ago.
"Yeah well, you know, wing reports, weather reports, holder complaints …" D'son ticks it off one at a time and grin at the slightly older young man. "I've heard from some of the others who are … helping out over there, that you've been going along. Some of us are heading over for a special trip in the next few days and I wanted to see if you'd come with."
Sigam waves a hand and rolls his eyes, indicating he knows and almost pities the poor bronzerider. "Ah, yes, all that happy business. I know how you feel - the Annex is still catching up on filing old medical records into the machines. It's a wonder I'm not bald, with all the hair I've been pulling out lately," he says sarcastically, hands folding in front of him as he finally pauses to hear the man out. "Tattle-tales," he mutters with a smile, but he's nodding. "Yeah, I've been taking advantage of my old knot and family ties to get me back and keep me outta trouble over there. I'd be more than pleased to accompany you, sir, but if you don't mind me asking… Special trip? What kind of special trip?"
"Hair-pulling? Seriously? Shouldn't stress out that much," D'son says sympathetically. "I mean, it's a lot of work but um — anyway." He sits back down and lifts his shoulders a little. "Can you blame them really? IF the Weyrleader is asking for reports? I mean, I signed off on the whole thing. Need to know what's going on. I've been going over myself, a bunch, same deal." With the old knot.
"Computers and I are not on the best of terms. I respect them for what they can do, but I've determined that the 'Delete' button is the bane of my existence." A firm nod accompanies this, another smile curling up his lips. "Ah, I suppose not. Shards, I'd turn myself in if asked outright, sir, it's just… strange, keeping something a secret just to find out that in truth, a bunch of people know." His tone is good-natured as he finally settles back in his seat, visibly relaxing. "I forget, sometimes, that you're from Ista too. Do they recognize you, when you're there? I mean, I at least have the advantage of being from Hold."
"Ohh, just learned them when I got here myself but um — I like them," D'son says with a sheepish look. "Well honestly, I'd rather be doing all this stuff out in the open, but the way things are, that's not possible. It's just most of us who're going over, we can't not do something. I'm from Ista myself and just sitting by …" he shakes his head. "Well, I'm careful about when and where I go, smudge up my face and don't bring Inimeth straight in. That worked well early on when people were helping a lot and there was a lot of digging out to do. But it's pretty well emptied now. At any rate, this mission is guarding some supplies being sent from healers to healers."
Sigam gives a shrug to that sheepish look, saying, "To each his own. I think if I worked with them more, and got used to it, we'd be on better terms." The Dragonhealer averts his eyes a bit, but the man's frustraton shows in his clenching hands. "I think all of this tiptoeing through the tulips is absolutely ridiculous, but you're right. It's just not feasible to sit around and let things fall apart because someone has a hard head." The words are a touch judgmental, but Sigam seems resigned. "I should have guessed. Sorry I asked, I was just curious - never seemed to recognize anyone, though we were all too busy at the beginning of the ban to really care." He nods carefully, considering the task ahead before glancing back over at D'son. "That sounds simple enough, something I'd certainly be willing to help out with."
"Absolutely. I mean, why not let people who have a personal stake help out, right? It doesn't make any sense," D'son says with a quiet sigh and looks down at the papers on his desk. "I was working things out with K'ael while he was Weyrleader but now that he's not …" he trails off and shrugs helplessly. "Anyway. Yeah, the group is pretty small and we've been staggering when we go." Dels nods a few times, listening. "Great then. I'm pretty sure it'll be in three days, meet up on the road just outside the Weyr first thing in the morning."
"Sense. I think that was tossed on the backburner a few weeks ago." Sigam's words are just as dry as before, but this time, there's a lingering sadness in his eyes. "Oh well. Viva la resistance, right?" One eyebrow twitches, a roguish grin on his face. "Ah, yeah. I heard he'd headed to Ierne. I… I heard the Weyrse- er, X'hil was going over. Would he still be able to give us an in, or would he just be eyeballed all the more for having spent time here?" A speculative hand strokes his chin before his own shrug is tossed. "Three days. Alright, that'll give me time to arrange things with the folks. I'll be there, you can count on that."
D'son brushes a hand through his hair and lifts his shoulders. "We'll see. X'hil and I get along okay, so maybe. Most of the issue is Ysa and Niva, so." Shoulders up again. "All right then, thanks for the support. It's mostly a just-in-case thing, for the dragons and your healer knowledge."
Sigam nods, rising out of his seat, sensing the discussion's coming to an end. "If nothing else, threaten him with a crossbow," he laughs, eyes mischievous. "Or, more particularly, weyrwoman Thea with a crossbow." There's obviously a story there, but D'son'll have to go to Thea herself to hear it, apparently. "It's my pleasure, sir, and I appreciate the offer. It never hurts to cautious - an extra set of eyes can do wonders." With a gesture that can only be defined as a jaunty mock-salute, Sigam's heading for the door, clutching his coat tight against the cold once again.
"Right … crossbow," D'son says looking a little uncertain about that. "Not much for weapons, honestly," the Weyrleader confesses. "I'll see you around then, Sigam. Thanks for the support." And he salutes more precisely as the healer heads out.
"Really?" Sigam glances over his shoulder, hand poised on the latch. "Well, I guess I can't blame you. But they do come in handy." Mischief is again running rampant in his eyes, but he takes the time to follow the Weyrleader's lead and correct his salute. "Never did know how to do that right without copying someone," he explains, turning again towards the door. "Aye, see you in three days, sir. Not a problem at all." And then he's outside, closing the portal quickly behind him against the stiff winter wind.

A 15-years-old patient, Ms. S. M. S. (PIN: 36844) visited Life Force clinic for her complaints of Urticaria on 17th May 2018. She was suffering from the complaints of Urticaria for the past nine years.
She visited us when she was in an acute state with the complaints of itching, reddish eruptions, swelling on the face, hands and legs, sensation of heat in the body, and a slight difficulty in breathing. She would get angioedema and itching all over the body. Usually, she would get eruptions and itching once in 3-4 months for 3 days. But, this time, she had swelling along with these complaints during this episode.
Her complaints used to get aggravated after consuming artificial colored food and cheese. She had taken Homeopathic and Ayurvedic treatments from other physicians in the past. Also, she had taken antihistamines for some time for her complaints of Urticaria.
As a part of her food habits, she would eat vegan food. Her appetite and thirst were normal. She didn't exhibit any strong likings or disliking with regards to the food. She would experience an average sweating. Her menses were irregular. She didn't face any complaints related to the bowel and urinary habits and sleep.
She was anxious. She would get anxious about the works to be done.
She had one episode of convulsion at the age of 1 year, but, later, she had experienced no such episode and complaints in the past.
After going through her case history in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed the research-based medicine to the patient.
The patient visited for her first follow-up on 22nd May 2018, during which she reported a significant improvement of 75% in her recovery from the complaints of Urticaria. She was advised to continue with the treatment.
Later, when she reported on 19th July 2018 for a follow-up, she had experienced 100% relief from her complaints of Urticaria.
When she reported on 27th September 2018, she was experiencing a 100% relief in her complaints of Urticaria. She had not experienced an episode of urticaria in the last 4 months and had got cured of the condition. Now, she could eat cheese without getting affected by urticaria.
This case highlights that homeopathy is highly effective in treating and curing conditions like urticaria successfully and safely without any side-effects. Homeopathy offers prominent positive results by treating diseases like Urticaria in a very short time.

Léon Ernest Deltenre, ook soms met de voornaam Jules, (Oseke, 24 april 1896 - Sart-Dames-Avelines, 24 mei 1961) was een Belgisch volksvertegenwoordiger.

Levensloop
De industrieel (brouwer) Deltenre trad toe tot de Belgische Werkliedenpartij.

Hij werd verkozen tot gemeenteraadslid (1938) en benoemd tot burgemeester (1939) van Sart-Dames-Avelines.

Hij nam het tijdens de oorlog niet te nauw met de bevelen van de bezetter. Hij bood hulp aan gezochte personen, verleende steun bij het maken van valse identiteitspapieren en bij het bezorgen van voedsel aan verzetslui in de ondergrondse. Hij hielp mee aan het verspreiden van clandestiene socialistische kranten. In 1944 werd hij betrapt toen een wapentransport bij hem werd geleverd, en werd op transport gezet naar Buchenwald.

In 1946 werd hij verkozen tot socialistisch volksvertegenwoordiger voor het arrondissement Nijvel, een mandaat dat hij tot in 1961 uitoefende.

Hij was lid van Wallonie libre en nam deel aan de Waalse Congressen in Charleroi in 1953 en 1957.

"Soyuz-ST-A" rocket put a French satellite into a given orbit
On December 19, at 19:37:14 (Moscow time), the "Soyuz-ST-A" launch vehicle with the French satellite "CSO-1" was successfully launched from the launch site of the Guiana Space Center.
8 minutes and 49 seconds after the launch, the head unit as part of the "Fregat-M" upper stage and the "CSO-1" satellite successfully separated from the third stage of the launch vehicle.
After 1 hour and 44 seconds after the launch, the French satellite "CSO-1" separated from the upper stage block "Fregat-M".
As a result of the launch campaign "Arianespace VS20", the "CSO-1" satellite was launched into a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 800 kilometers.
The Russian launch vehicles – the "Soyuz-ST-A" launch rocket (manufactured by "Progress" RSC) and the "Fregat-M" upper stage (manufactured by NPO "Lavochkin") – completed the flight program without any claims.
The device is taken by the customer for control.
The equipment, installed on the "CSO-1", will allow obtaining images of the earth's surface with a resolution of up to 35 cm.

How Advances in Science are...
How Advances in Science are made – Douglas Osheroff
Posted on 04/07/2012 11/06/2015 by Beatrice Lugger
Today Douglas Osheroff discussed his view of "How Advances in Science are Made" at the 62nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Some days before the meeting I had a short email conversation with him, where we chatted about his finding, the need of interdisciplinarity of sciences and how he advanced in science. Osheroff was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1996 together with David M. Lee and Robert C. Richardson "for the discovery of superfluidity in Helium 3".
Superfluid liquids continue to flow without any friction. Since 1911 researchers had known that helium 4 had such a superfluid phase close to absolute zero. According to the Barden-Cooper-Schriefer (BCS) theory for the explanation of superconductivity (Nobel Prize for Physics 1972), it was to be expected that helium 3 could also achieve the superfluid state under certain conditions – the formation of a so-called Cooper Pair.
Doctoral student Douglas Osheroff confirmed this through his presence of mind one night in April 1972. He investigated the magnetic properties of solid helium 3 only 0.2 degrees above absolute zero at Cornell University in Ithaca. His aim was to record a so-called phase shift by increasing the pressure as a function of time. However, he noticed unexpected jumps in the measurement curves and realized that this almost certainly the superfluid phase transition in liquid 3He.
In that night in April 1972 you say unexpected effects in your measurements. How long took it to put the puzzle together and to find out that your data fitted to the predicted suprafluidity.
We were trying to understand the nature of nuclear spin order in solid 3He along the melting curve. Our refrigeration process was based on the adiabatic solidification of liquid 3He along the melting curve. We did not expect to find ordering in the liquid state, but because we had both solid and liquid in our cell, we could see the properties of both phases.
In the night that I discovered the two phase transitions in the liquid I wrote in my lab book:
"2:40 AM Have discovered the BCS transition in liquid 3He tonight."
I have invented an early from of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and so I could differentiate the liquid from the solid NMR signals. The liquid NMR signal dropped by about a factor of two at the lower temperature transition. I felt that this had to be the result of the formation of 'Cooper Pairs' in the liquid.
What did you do next in that night?
David Lee was my thesis advisor, and so it made sense for me to call him. Bob Richardson had his own student, Bill Halperin, who was doing similar experiments. However, it was Bob who largely trained me in low temperature physics. This was in the middle of the night, and I didn't even call my wife.
Apart from the fascinating discoveries in basic research, what can superfluidity be used for today? What other findings are associated with it?
Superfluidity in 3He was the first example of an 'unconventional' BCS state. It taught us a lot about what states were possible, and what properties they might exhibit. However, because of the extremely low temperatures needed to create superfluidity in 3He, it has no practical applications.
Networking and interdisciplinarity seem to be necessary new discoveries.
Yes. I think I owe a great deal to Ed Hammel. He was responsible for keeping the Nation's tritium supply clean during the period when the US and the USSR were trying to build a hydrogen bomb. Tritium decays to 3He with a half life of 12.4 years. So periodically Hammel would separate out the 3He from the tritium. But he saved the 3He, and eventually liquified the 3He. He published his results, and even said how much 3He he had liquified. In a telephone interview he confided to me that this told the Russians not only something about how much Tritium the US had, but something about how long we had had it. He was for sure the father of 3He physics!
Can one plan advances in science?
I would say that most advances require both insight and good fortune. I was attracted to the low temperature group at Cornell because it seemed to give me the opportunity to look at Nature in a new and very different realm.

Isn't it a little embarrassing that multibillion dollar industries seem to depend on integrals that don't converge?
In context, he's not saying that huge companies are blithely using bad math. Some are, but that's not what he's getting at here. His discussion is an example of coming full circle, where experts and novices come to the same conclusion for different reasons.
The expert in Fourier analysis has all the technicalities in the back of his or her mind. Often these don't need to be explicitly exercised. You can blithely go about using formal calculations that aren't justified by the classical theory.
But the expert doesn't entirely come full circle, not in the sense of walking in circles in the woods. It's more like winding around a parking garage, coming back to the same (x, y) location but one level up. Sometimes the expert needs to pull out the technical machinery to avoid an error the beginner could fall into. The theory of tempered distributions, for example, doesn't justify every calculation a novice might try.
 In a nutshell, here's the theory that justifies apparently sloppy calculations with Fourier transforms. The key is to view the function you want to transform not as a function on the real line but as a tempered distribution, a linear functional on the space of smooth, rapidly decaying test functions. A function acts on a test function by forming their product and integrating. Then use Parseval's theorem from the classical theory as the definition in this new context, moving the transform operation from the original function to the test function. Simple, right?
