"The result of such analysis for BMR predictions, is the following Harris-Benedict equation:
... for women, P = 9.6354m + 1.8496h - 4.6756a + 655.0955
-just crunching the numbers in my earlier example:
P = 9.6354m + 1.8496h - 4.6756a + 655.0955
P = 9.6354 x 56.465kg/1kg + 1.8496 x 177.82cm/1cm - 4.6756 x 32.765yrs/1yrs + 655.0955

He does. Hal Lewis' resignation letter was addressed to APS President Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University. Princeton scientists are currently working on global warming research funded by grants of at least 20 million.
Late in the letter Lewis does note the possible connection to Princeton funding, though he states he's wary of assigning motive.

I see, well then if the desired degree of accuracy in that last constant (655.0955) is 4 decimal places then that might imply the answer to be accurate to within 3 decimal places, so P might = 1204.361 kcal, or rounded to 1204.36 accounting for just the significant figures of that last constant, for the example given in wikipedea --

Oh, that should have read significant figures, not "decimal places".
The significant figures of the constants should reflect the number of significant figures expected in the variables, in this case 5 significant figures. That would mean weight might be recorded at, oh say, 56.456kg, height at 177.82cm and age at 32.765yrs, to give a BMR of 1892 kcal (four significant figures obviou

The American Physical Society can be evasive as well..
"There is no truth to Dr. Lewis’ assertion that APS policy statements are driven by financial gain. To the contrary, as a membership organization of more than 48,000 physicists, APS adheres to rigorous ethical standards in developing its statements.

If never heard that line of reasoning.

Has anyone tried making their own salt?
In Brittany they use a series of drying ponds in order to separate out unwanted minerals like chalk which settles out as the sea water loses the first 50-80% of its moisture to evaporation (I can see tiny needle-like gypsum crystals settle out as I reduce sea water to seasalt). When moisture is reduced to 1% the salt crystals can be washed or stockpile

I've always been most fond of John who is the only one to give an account of the raising of Lazarus, and that written in John's Gospel dated by some around 90 AD, well after Paul's letters of around 60 AD, so the story of Lazarus may have been unknown to Paul (all four Gospels were purhaps written after Paul's let

A novel approach indeed. Mary Baker Eddy believed in the Holy Spirit as the "key"? to understanding scripture, so when it says Jesus breathed his last Eddy feels free to believe it only appeared that way and that actually if he was walking and talking three days later it was because he never really died. I have to admit to always thinking the scene where Jesus appeared to the disciple
