means that we are concerned not so much about absolute wealth, but about
our relative wealth. For example, if I have bought a house for £150,000,
then this is likely to become my reference point, and it is against this value
that I measure any gains or losses. If I sell the house for more than
£150,000, then I view this as a gain; if I sell the house for less than
£150,000, then I view this as a loss. But note that my reference point may
not remain static over time. (( If I hear that, on average, house prices have
increased by 10 per cent in the period since I purchased the property, then I
may shift my reference point and judge whether I have made a gain or loss
stock markets where I set the initial reference value according to the
purchase price I paid for the shares, but I may shift the reference value in
the future according to how the stock market has performed overall.

The contribution of culture to progress has been called the ratchet effect, based
on an analogy with the tool that permits forward movement but prevents backward
movement. Michael Tomasello, an expert who has written extensively about both
primate and human thought capabilities, summarizes the effect this way. Two things
are needed for progress. The first is innovation: Someone has to come up with a
better solution to a common problem. The other is preservation: The solution has to
after the inventor or discoverer has died. Tomasello says that nonhuman apes
actually are pretty good at coming up with novel, creative solutions to problems. For
them (our biological relatives), the problem is with preservation. Even if the solver
remembers the solution for a while, and even if a couple of his or her mates copy
the solution and use it for a while, it is eventually forgotten, and the next

In Europe, it was not until the end of the eighteenth century that the
musicians’ guilds, which had regulated professional musical activities since the early
Middle Ages, were replaced by specific trade regulations that allowed and, indeed,
forced musicians to offer their services to the general public for regular payment.
ability to cover a broad repertoire, from dance music to folk song, from parlor song
to the music of the vaudeville theater. This type of all-around musicianship became
a major force in the development of popular music. The changes and uncertainties
of the market and the demands of the consuming audience did not permit a strict
division of labor among musicians. Songwriters acted customarily as band leaders, and
performing musicians frequently played more than one instrument. Many musicians
were forced into an existence that hovered uneasily between that of the professional

Some years ago, I was the Director of Admission at a small private college. I will
never forget the time when an applicant named John Graham rejected our rejection.
The college was not particularly selective, but there were some minimum
requirements for admission and John fell short on one or two key measures. A week
after we sent out our admission decisions, I received a note from (a) him asking us
to reconsider.
(D)
He stated that he had not done well in high school because he had to work to
help to support his family. I looked at his application again, but I did not believe he
could succeed at our college with his low grades. I wrote “Young man, your goal
of attending college is commendable, but there are many other options for you
beyond our institution. For example, (e) you might attend a community college and
strengthen your academic foundation and then apply to transfer to our college
later.”

Dear Jayden,
My son Ross enjoys playing with your son Jim very much, and my husband and I
think Jim is a really good kid. However, the last couple of times Ross has come
home from your house, he has had scratches and even a few small bite marks on
his arm. Ross tells me they are from your new puppy, Raven. We love dogs, and
we want Ross to be comfortable around them. But at this time we have to ask that
there be adult supervision when Ross is in your home to prevent this sort of injury;
we also want to make sure that Raven is not harmed. After considering this, please
let me know your plans. I’d be glad to speak with you about this matter before
the next time Ross and Jim (and Raven) get together.
Sincerely,
Amelia

Soon after the conversation with Alec, his parents, Marko and Elizabeth, arrived
home. I was waiting outside to meet them as they made their way to the house.
Would they like me? If they didn’t want me, what would I do? Spend eternity
alone? They walked through the door and I gulped rather too loudly. They were
both very charming, with the same fair skin and crystal blue eyes that Alec has.
“Rebecca,” Elizabeth’s excited voice called, “I’m so glad to see you. I’ve
been dying to meet you, welcome to the family.” And with that all my worries

contexts for making friends, but friendships are difficult to nurture when children
see each other only at adult-controlled practices and games. Additionally, making
warm-ups should mix players from both teams, and players should introduce
themselves to the person they line up with as each quarter or half begins. Unless
children learn that games cannot exist without cooperation between opponents, they
will have no understanding of fair play, why rules exist, why rule enforcement is
necessary, and why players should follow game rules. Without this understanding,
children don’t have what it takes to maintain fair play at the same time that they
strive for competitive success. When this occurs, youth sports are not worth our

Don’t you hate when you go to a buffet and everything tastes too good? You
take great care to eat a healthy bountiful salad before you dig into the meats,
vegetables, and side dishes. Much later, as you sit back in your chair and rub your
stomach to find room, there is none. Those delicious delicacies prepared for dessert
will go untouched. If you had only started with the sweet temptations, some of the
other dishes could have been passed up without remorse. There are times in life
when you have to do just that. Instead of waiting until your work is done to see if
you will have time for relaxing, take the time first. Don’t wait for after work to
see a movie, catch the early morning show and go to work late. There will always
be deadlines and commitments, but there is only one sunrise and sunset every day.
Take the time to enjoy them and you won’t be sorry. Believe it or not, sometimes
the chocolate cake is better for you than the salad. Start with the good stuff and

Large teams are notorious for needing multiple steps to make most decisions.
Aligning calendars often takes time, and once you get everyone into a room (or,
attendees will not have read the requisite material, and others will have been sent
as substitutes for key decision-makers who could not make the time (and these
substitutes will not be able to make any critical decisions without conferring with
their boss). We’ve all attended these sorts of meetings. They rarely result in
decisions — and they usually lead to additional meetings. A small team can deal with
these issues much more easily. Fewer people need to be present to make decisions,
and those present are typically much more involved in the details of the problem,
so they don’t need a meeting to ramp up before they can contribute. In a word, a

Named for its call, the veery has a reddish brown head, back, and tail and a
faintly spotted breast. It breeds in southern Canada and in the northern United
elevations above 3,000 feet. Its song is a delicate, flutelike da-vee-ur, vee-ur, veer,
veer. Mainly a ground forager, the veery feeds on insects and fruit. The female
builds a nest in a dense shrub near ground level or on the ground itself, often
hiding it in vegetation at the base of a bush or small tree. She lays three to five
eggs and incubates them for ten to fourteen days. The male helps to rear the
brood, and the young leave the nest ten to twelve days after hatching. Veeries
migrate at night to winter in South America east of the Andes, mainly in Bolivia and
Brazil.

product of the human mind and body. Feelings and emotions evolved over the
course of millions of years of evolution to help us regulate and monitor our internal
state in relation to the external environment. Anger, fear, sadness, and the other
emotions and feelings prime the body for action and help the mind make decisions
about what we should or should not do. The feelings we associate with home are
built on a cognitive foundation that we inherited from our ancestors. A feeling for
home coupled with the inclination and ability to build a shelter for our bodies makes
for a profound biocultural adaptation. This adaptation helps people survive in all
manner of environments, far from the African woodlands and savannas which ->

There are fascinating effects of group size. In a dyad or triad, the host usually has
the edge over the visitor; the host is more likely to get his or her own way. Thus,
a businessperson can strike a better deal by inviting the other person to his or her
office. But such territorial dominance — the so-called home court advantage — may
disappear if the group is smaller -> larger than a triad. In public places, a large
group may also inhibit an individual from helping someone in distress. More than 50
studies have shown consistently that people are less likely to help a victim if others
are around than if they are alone with the victim. A major reason is that the
knowledge that others are present and available to respond allows the individual to
shift some of the responsibility to others. The same factor operates in “social
loafing”: As the size of a group performing a certain task increases, each member
