... We guess it's almost impossible to create the site nowadays where all space relative philatelic materials (postage stamps, stationary, postal marks etc.) would be registered and presented. ... We tried to make such a step in April 2005, placing at the site first images of postage stamps with portraits of astronauts (cosmonauts, spacionauts, taikonauts:). ... All illustrative material (or simply speaking, all scans of stamps) are grouped in four sections: Countries , Years , Astronauts and Flights . ...

From Bayesian perspective, Pr(p|D) ~ L(D|p) pi(p), properly choosing likelihoods and priors, one can estimate the chance of e coli infection and uncertainty. ... In other words, those computed chances highly depend on the choice of model and are very subjective. ... In order to know the chance of the model (A*B+C)*D, like A has nuke with p%, one should not rely on p-values. ...
