A RANT

I dont know if it is just me and my wife but lately the doctors attitude to as seems harsh.My wife was told just to drink a cup of tea and do go to a hypnotist at a cost of 50 pound a time also she has been refused an hearing aid ,she my wife is overweight but she was a regular walker untill her knees got worse silmar to her mother.My self the doctor treats me like the unwashed also when i went to go to volunteer the people you deal with are proper snobs and seem to wish for your help.

Amazing pictures show ‘ice pancakes’ forming on River Dee

Some unusual icy formations on the River Dee have been causing a stir. These images show “ice pancakes” at the Lummels Pool at Birse, near Aboyne, and are already delighting viewers online. The formations, which are more commonly seen in the Antarctic, was photographed by Jamie Urquhart, a biologist for the River Dee Trust.

Experts believe foam on the water freezes overnight, pushing and bumping against each other to become circular. The discs may then grow overnight when the temperatures fall again, collecting new foam. During the day, when the discs soften in the sun, particularly around the edges, the rims are built up as the pieces collide in the water.

FART ON MARS?

Well…sort of. The Curiosity Rover on Mars has detected what’s been called a “whiff of methane” on Mars. Cue the laughter. Do you think it’s a Martian cow, or a six-year-old, who’s still giggling about farting on the alien RC Car roaming around the planet?

Antarctic photo science archive unlocked

Aerial photos from the 1940s and 1950s are being used to probe the climate history of the Antarctic Peninsula. UK scientists are comparing the images with newly acquired data sets to assess the changes that have occurred in some of the region's 400-plus glaciers. The old and modern information has to be very carefully aligned if it is to show up any differences reliably. And that is a big challenge when snow and ice obscure ground features that might otherwise act as visual anchors. But the researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Newcastle University and University of Gloucestershire believe they are cracking the problem. "We want to use these pictures to work out volume and mass-balance changes in the glaciers through time," explained Dr Lucy Clarke from the University of Gloucestershire. "There are tens of thousands of these historical images, held by the British Antarctic Survey and the US Geological Survey. "So, they've long been around, but it's only now that we've had the capability to extract the 3D data from them." Dr Clarke has been presenting the work at this week's American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco.read more-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-30471542
