Three professors from Hamburg University's medical faculty traveled last month to Ingeborg's sitting
room in East Berlin to test her on the work she carried out in pre-war Germany.
The insults and criticism were not unexpected. What was surprising was people's enthusiasm about the
competition. Thousands have participated in the discussion.
Akimbo, this must be one of the odder-looking words in the language and puzzles us in part because it
doesn't seem to have any relatives. What's more, it is now virtually a fossil word, until recently almost
invariably found in arms akimbo, a posture in which a person stands with hands on hips and elbows
sharply bent outward, one that signals impatience, hostility or contempt.
Modern buildings have to achieve certain performance requirements, at least to satisfy those of building
codes, to provide a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment. However, these conditioned
environments demand resources in energy and materials, which are both limited in supply, to build and
operate.
This finding is understandable in certain cases in spite of its high significance; that is because energy
efficiency of building operation just represents a single aspect of sustainability.
The numbers on US student debt, after all, are truly staggering. The average 2015 US university graduate
who took out loans to help pay for tuition enters the workforce with $35,000 in student debt.

Who do you think is the most glamorous person? A biotechnologist who led his company in international
research, an ordinary welder who gained international fame through his work, or a photographer
complimented widely for a series of photos?
In the photo, the wild cat's huge paws are clamped onto the side of the white safari Jeep in which
Chappell was a passenger. Almost as tall as the Jeep on her hind legs, she appears to be forcing her
muzzle into the back window.
The Office of Personnel Management was the target of the attack, but data from nearly every government
agency was stolen. U.S. investigators say they believe Chinese hackers were behind the breach.
While the Republican field is packed with male candidates, so far, some of the sharpest Clinton critiques
have come from women.
Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere. This trend
began in the middle of the 20th century and is one of the major environmental concerns of scientists and
governmental officials worldwide. The changes in temperature result mostly from the effect of increased
concentrations of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
As far as politics go, the responses are just as varied. Mitigation is common and calls for a reduction of
emissions and less reliance on fossil fuels. Coal burning power plants are now replaced with hydraulic
power plants and electrical cars are replacing some gasoline efficient cars. Many people, however, feel
that this is not enough.

The border itself between Mexico and United States is fraught with a mix of urban and desert terrain and
spans over 1900 miles. Both the uninhabited areas of the border and urban areas are where the most drug
trafficking and illegal crossings take place. Crime is prevalent in urban cities like El Paso, Texas and San
Diego, California.
Free trade is an economic policy under which the government does not interfere with trade. No tariffs are
applied to imports or exports, and people are allowed to trade goods and services as they please. Supply
and demand dictates the prices for which goods and services sell and are the only factors that determine
how resources are allocated in society.
Unlike the United Kingdom, which has taken a relatively restrictive approach to the possession of arms,
the United States has taken a more lenient approach. In the United States, three models have evolved
regarding the interpretation of the meaning of the right to bear and keep arms as delineated in the Second
Amendment.
Trade unions originated in Europe during the industrial revolution. Because of the machinery that had
become commonplace, skilled labor became less in demand so employers had nearly all of the bargaining
power. Employers mistreated the workers and paid them too little for the work they did. Trade unions
were organised that would help in the improvement of working conditions.
Unions take the power out of the employer's hands on many issues. There are examples of cases where
workers were engaging in sexual or racial harassment, but were protected by their unions and allowed to
keep their jobs. Poor workers and excellent workers often receive the same pay and raises, giving no
reason for a person to work harder than necessary at their jobs.
Domestication is an evolutionary, rather than a political development. They were more likely to survive
and prosper in an alliance with humans than on their own. Humans provided the animals with food and

protection, in exchange for which the animals provided the humans their milk and eggs and their flesh.
The problem begins with the alphabet itself. Building a spelling system for English using letters that
come from Latin, despite the two languages not sharing exactly the same set of sounds, is like building a
playroom using an IKEA office set.
Another administration option is to bake marijuana at a relatively low temperature to kill any dangerous
microorganisms and then allow that patient to eat it or drink it. Both of these methods of administration
make smoking the drug unnecessary. However, criticism of medical marijuana has also been raised
because as a natural plant, it cannot be patented and marketed by pharmaceutical companies and is
unlikely to win widespread medical acceptance.
A smoking ban is a public policy that includes criminal laws and health regulations that prohibit smoking
in certain public places and workspaces. There are varying definitions of smoking employed in this
legislation. The strictest definitions define smoking as being the inhalation of any tobacco substance
while the loosest define smoking as possessing any lit tobacco product.
Welfare has a special political meaning to the United States because it refers to how the poor receives
financial aid. In comparison, welfare services are regarded as a universal right in other regions like
Europe, where it is believed that all citizens should be able to obtain a minimal level of social support and
well-being.

differences in words and phrases. When in actual exams, please carefully read the questions before using
any of the sample answers.
Yellow is the most optimistic color, yet surprisingly, people lose their tempers most often in yellow
rooms and babies cry more in them. The reason may be that yellow is the hardest color on the eye. On the
other hand, it speeds metabolism and enhances concentration; think of yellow legal pads and post-it notes.
Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention-getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their
tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to
take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal
pads. It also speeds metabolism.
Since Plato, philosophers have described the decision-making process as either rational or emotional: we
carefully deliberate or we "blink" and go with our gut. But as scientists break open the mind's black box
with the latest tools of neuroscience, they're discovering that this not how the mind works. Our best
decisions are a finely tuned blend of both feeling and reason - and the precise mix depends on the
situation.
Moods may also have an effect on how information is processed, by influencing the extent to which
judges rely on pre-existing, internal information, or focus on new external information. Positive moods
promote more holistic and top-down processing style, while negative moods recruit more stimulus-driven
and bottom-up processing.

The brain is divided into two hemispheres, called the left and right hemispheres. Each hemisphere
provided a different set of functions, behaviors, and controls. The right hemisphere is often called the
creative side of the brain, while the left hemisphere is the logical or analytical side of brain.
Introverts (or those of us with introverted tendencies) tend to recharge by spending time alone. They lose
energy from being around people for long periods of time, particularly large crowds. Extroverts, on the
other hand, gain energy from other people. Extroverts actually find their energy is sapped when they
spend too much time alone. They recharge by being social.
A young man from a small provincial town - a man without independent wealth, without powerful family
connection and without a university education - moved to London in the late 1580's and, in a remarkably
short time, became the greatest playwright not of his age alone but of all time. How did Shakespeare
become Shakespeare?
Botanic gardens are scientific and cultural institutions established to collect, study, exchange and display
plants for research and for the education and enjoyment of the public. There are major botanic gardens in
each capital city. Zoological parks and aquariums are primarily engaged in the breeding, preservation,
study and display of native and exotic fauna in captivity.
Although introvert and extrovert personality types differ from one another on various grounds, the major
difference between the two is their source of rejuvenation. While for extroverts, this may mean interaction
or excursions with friends and family, the same may mean reading a book or listening to music for
introverts.

chief executive. The people who run hospitals and physicians' practices don't just need to know medicine.
They must also be able to balance budgets, motivate a large and diverse staff and make difficult
marketing and legal decisions.
All cells share some common characteristics that make them living things. All organisms are composed of
cells, the basic fundamental unit of life. They contain DNA as a heritable genetic material, and they can
reproduce. They transcribe DNA into RNA and translate RNA into proteins on ribosomes. They can also
regulate transport across a cell membrane and require chemical energy for some cellular processes.
The number one biggest difference between the bacteria in your body and the cells making up your body
are these tiny cellular components called organelles. You've actually learned a lot about organelles in
other lessons without knowing it. Organelles are simply membrane-bound compartments within a cell,
such as the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, golgi, and endoplasmic reticulum.
In the second quarter of the 19th century, a rapidly growing middle class created a great demand for
furniture production. Yet at this stage, while machines were used for certain jobs, such as carved
decoration, there was no real mass production. The extra demand was met by numerous woodworkers.
Mass Production came later and the quality of domestic furniture declined.
"There are, of course, intercultural difficulties as well as language difficulties," he said. "There are, of
course, also many Australian students who don't speak such fantastically good English either.
"I've seen no evidence to suggest that students are not able to complete their courses because they're
failing in English yet they're being passed by the universities," she said. "I've not seen any evidence to
back that up. "International education is one of our largest exports, it's our fourth largest export and it's in
the interest of our universities to maintain very high standards because their reputation is at stake."

Solar energy is an excellent source of supplying power to homes and companies and by utilizing solar
power you're not merely protecting the environment from becoming polluted but also you are saving the
rest of the earth's natural resources. Capturing solar energy does not contribute any pollution and does not
harm the atmosphere.
Living room is the most used part that withholds most of the traffic coming in and out of the house. It is
highly recommended that the flooring should be strong enough that it can endure all such amendments
done with your furniture or to the increasing and decreasing ratio of visitors. For this purpose, you can opt
for hardwood flooring.
If you do experience a motorcycle crash, be aware the other driver will most likely blame you for the
accident. This includes the road, road conditions, any skid marks, road signs, construction, and anything
else that may have contributed to the accident. Not every accident requires an attorney but a
knowledgeable local attorney can help you make sense of the process, as well as insure that the other
drivers insurance doesn't unfairly blame you for the accident.
Many people are under the impression that the water which comes out of a plant is clean. This is a
common misconception: the function of a plant is to make the water cleaner, but it's not clean enough to
drink. It could be used in irrigation.
Another virtue that both propagate is that the present is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. It is no use
fretting about the past for it cannot be undone or overturned and no use pondering too much, about the
future for it remains unseen. The day being thought about may never dawn on you. The ultimate service,
however, remains the one done for your fellow men.

The Ford Company provides plenty of opportunities for its employees. It guarantees not only comfortable
and appropriate working conditions, but also many other advantages. Therefore, becoming a part of the
Ford Motor company is always profitable and beneficial. Moreover, it is important to mention that Ford
Motors provides its employees with effective and useful services and takes care of their well-being.
Intangible assets perform a number of distinctive functions in the life of each company. Firstly, they
witness the prosperity of the firm and its good name. Such a position allows human resource management
to employ professional workers and increase the labor productivity. Moreover, intangible assets guarantee
future value for the firm. And although it is difficult to destroy intangible assets, they can lose their
importance in case of carelessness or business failure.
On practice, M. Kent tries to develop a worldwide campaign in order to expand the scope of activities and
invite new customers. He tries to spread the Coca-Cola production throughout the globe in order to
achieve a good place on the global market. Moreover, he always pays attention to the work of the
competitors in order to remain on top. Finally, M. Kent knows how to organize the work within the
company and motivate employees to do their best.
The southerners did not accept Lincoln as a president because of certain reasons, based on historical
grounds. Southerners wished to protect their rights in the government and become more independent from
the north. They considered president elections to be unfair. Moreover, they thought that their own rights
will be ignored and limited. All this caused the separation of the southern states and marked the beginning
of the Civil War.
Therefore, the working unions in modern society are not very important. They preserve their functions
only in the underdeveloped countries. On the contrary, in the developed states, workers refuse to join the
unions, preferring individual work. Thus, working unions cannot survive the assault of modern economic
trends and slowly move to a complete decline. Their initial purposes have little to do with the hectic pace
of modern life.

The most important issue is concerned with the problem of funding. Social services receive different
donations or grants from the government. However, these sums are not sufficient for the solution of all
problems. The second most important issue consists in the huge spending. The money social services
achieve, is not enough for normal functioning. The third problem, affecting human services is the lack of
skilled and experienced employees.
The asteroid that slammed into the moon 3.8 billion years ago creating the Imbrium Basin may have had
a diameter of at least 150 miles, according to a new estimate. The work helps explain puzzling geological
features on the moon's near side, and has implications for understanding the evolution of the early solar
system.
For any marketing course that requires development of marketing plan, such as marketing management,
marketing strategy and segmentation support marketing, this is the only planning handbook that guide
students through the step by step creation of customized marketing plan. While offering commercial
software to aid in the process.
As we progress into the 21st century, communications are becoming faster and faster and faster. Think of
the millions of different media images you are bombarded with every day. It is as important now to be
able to read and make sense of those images, as it has been to be able to read ordinary text.
Electronic discourse is one form of interactive electronic communication. In this study, we reserve the
term for the two-directional texts in which one person using a keyboard writes language that appears on
the sender's monitor and is transmitted to the monitor of a recipient, who responds by keyboard.

Although it hails from a remote region of the western Himalayas, this plant now looks entirely at home on
the banks of English rivers. Brought to the UK in 1839, it quickly escaped colonized river banks and
damp woodlands. Now it is spreading across Europe, New Zealand, and Canada. In the Himalayas the
plant is held in check by various pests, but take these away and it grows and reproduces unhindered.
The quest for a user-friendly copyright regime began a decade ago when the Hong Kong government
launched a public consultation on "Copyright Protection in the Digital Environment" in December 2006.
Although this consultation initially sought to address Internet-related challenges, such as those caused by
peer-to-peer file-sharing technology, the reform effort quickly evolved into a more comprehensive digital
upgrade of the Hong Kong copyright regime.
How quickly is the world's population growing? In the United States and other developed countries, the
current growth rate is very low. In most developing countries, the human population is growing at 3
people per second. Because of this bustling growth rate, human population is grown to reach 9 billion
within your lifetime.
Surprisingly, despite what appear to be infinite variations, all difficult conversations share a common
structure. When you're caught up in the details and anxiety of a particular difficult conversation, this
structure is hard to see. But understanding that structure is essential to improving how you handle your
most challenging conversations.
It isn't rare for private equity houses to hire grads fresh out of business school, he said, but 9 times out of

Weakness in electronics, auto and gas station sales dragged down overall retail sales last month, but
excluding those three categories, retailers enjoyed healthy increases across the board, according to
government figures released Wednesday. Moreover, December sales numbers were also revised higher.
Where there are effects, there are often side effects. The car is a boon to mobility, but can lead to obesity,
injuries, deaths and pollution. Burning fossil fuel may keep economies going, but wrecks the climate in
the long run. In a similar way, there are side effects to information technology in education settings from
childcare to the classroom to the lecture hall and beyond.
There are perhaps three ways of looking at furniture: some people see it as purely functional and useful,
and don't bother themselves with aesthetics; others see it as essential to civilized living and concern
themselves with design and how the furniture will look in a room - in other words, function combined
with aesthetics; and yet others see furniture as a form of art.
Integration Currently, Integration is increasingly needed in the business environment. This need emerges
from the efficiency and synergy requirements necessary in a complex and turbulent environment. In other
words, integration is needed to facilitate coordination, which is again related to the building of
competitive advantage.
The English Revolution has been interpreted in several ways by historians: as a fight between the
aristocratic Cavaliers, who were open to life, and the serious Puritans; as a battle for power between
parliament and the monarchy over the rights of Englishmen that had been going on for centuries; and as a
class war similar to the French Revolution, of which it was a forerunner.

A recent trend in the entertainment world is to adapt classic works of literature for either TV or movies.
One argument is that this is to everyone's benefit, as it introduces people to works they might otherwise
never have, but is rarely done successfully.

societies that are in your university. You will definitely find something you are interested in.
Japan is the world's calculator superpower. Japanese manufacturers have led sales of calculators for over
thirty years in many countries. Even in the age of personal computers, calculators are still essential in
accounting jobs. In addition, calculators with graphing capabilities have begun to be used in education.
Whether salamander frog or toad, amphibians are some of the most diverse and far-flung animals on the
planet. However, they're disappearing, and experts are worried since frogs are considered bellwethers for
the environment. Their double life makes them unique. It's through their skin that they breathe and drink
water because their skin is so permeable.
The Executive Residence in The White House, in the United States of America, where the president

government building is a national heritage.
Cloud seeding, a form of weather modification, is a way of attempting to change the amount of
precipitation that comes from clouds. Cloud seeding is carried out by dispersing substances into the air,
but it also occurs due to ice nucleates in nature, most of which are bacterial in origin.

Many families are fleeing their native countries due to sectarian repression and political uprisings.
Consequently, thousands of people have been stranded in foreign lands for months; other families have
gone missing in the sea, marooned in small boats, as the neighboring foreign countries refuse to take them
in.
Countries bordering the Mediterranean have built up a solid reputation for sunshine, great tasting food, as
well as impressive health statistics, featuring some of the lowest rates of heart disease, and increased life
expectancy. This has created a lot of attention towards the Mediterranean diet, which is not a typical
weight loss diet, but more of a set of habits.
As a historian, if you really want to understand the sensibilities of those who lived in the past, you must
be like a novelist and get into the skins of your characters and think and feel as they do. You are asked to
imagine what it's like to be a peasant in medieval times, asking the sort of questions a peasant might ask.
Trump has threatened to declare China a currency manipulator, but experts say he has little legal or
economic basis to take such a step. He has also threatened to impose a tariff of up to 45 percent on
Chinese imports if Beijing doesn't "behave" a move that could lead to a trade war and damage the
economies of both nations.
Do something you are very passionate about and do not try to chase what is considered the hot passion of
the day. People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you're doing, and it's totally true. You have
to do it over a sustained period of time. So, if you don't love it, you're going to give up.

The discovery of universal gravitation displays all the features of the new way of scientific reasoning
which is now so familiar to us. The discovery starts off with Newton associating the Moon's behavior

They controlled for the birds' age, sex, body size and species. And they found that the hunted specimen's
brains were actually five percent smaller, on average, than the brains of birds that died by other means.
"The surprising thing is that, if you make a smaller kind of analysis of liver or heart size, there is
absolutely no difference there. So this is specific to the brain."
Generally, students who stay off campus resort to campus buses, for it not only costs less, but also helps

The speaker is a marine biologist who became interested in the Strandlopers, an ancient people who lived
on the coastline, because of their connection to the sea. Their way of life intrigued him. As a child he had
spent a lot of time by the sea, exploring and collecting things - so he began to study them, and discovered
some interesting information about their way of life, how they hunted, what tools they used, and so on.
Jazz is an African American music genre popular in the United States that has an enchanting effect on the

Reiss took a stab at settling the argument with a meta-analysis a study of studies on whether people can
really perceive better-than-CD quality sound. He analyzed data from 18 studies, including more than 400
participants and nearly 13,000 listening tests. Overall, listeners picked out the better-than-CD-quality
track 52.3 percent of the time. Statistically significant, if not all that impressive.

Researchers gathered 160 uncaffeinated adults, people who consumed less than 500 milligrams of
caffeine a week. These decaf subjects looked at pictures of various objects, then took either a placebo or a
pill containing 200 milligrams of caffeine. That's roughly the amount you'd get from two cups of coffee.
The term supernova was coined in the 1930s by a memorably odd astrophysicist named Fritz Zwicky.
Born in Bulgaria and raised in Switzerland, Zwicky came to the California Institute of Technology in the
1920s and there as once distinguished himself by his abrasive personality and erratic talents. He didn't
seem to be outstandingly bright, and many of his colleagues considered him little more than "an irritating
buffoon".
Rites of Passage are one deep avenue to experience this love in our bones. Once realized, the care for the
earth, the connection and experience of nature, and our part and place in the whole, will inform our
future, our care for all of life. Without this care, and a true understanding of interdependence, our actions
and lives may well be fragmented, divisive, and destructive.
At the end of this year, we will launch the Cup Class boats. So these will be about twice the power. The
sailors are down in cockpits, unlike today. A lot of the power is being generated by these four grinders
that are providing hydraulic power, and that energy is being used to control the flying surface, the
hydrofoil is also being used to control the wing and the flaps, effectively the engine, of what we have.
Kindermann says he thinks the compound could be a win-win for the planet and the animals. "You know
the methane is kind of a waste product. And this energy, instead of losing it for the animal, it can be
reused for the animal in terms of performance, and at the same time we are doing something for
greenhouse gas emission and climate change." The products not on the market yet toxicology tests are
ongoing.

What we found is that the plant is actually damaged by herbivores like most plants are in nature. And in
response to that it secretes sugar from the wound edges where the herbivores have damaged the plant.

You may have heard of the new fad known as ecotourism. This means tourism which is environmentally
friendly, and conscious about conserving the environment. The key is to minimize the physical, social and
behavioral impacts of overseas travel. Tour groups will often work with local and indigenous
communities to design respectful and memorable programs for visitors.
Tesla actually worked for Edison early in his career. Edison offered to pay him the modern equivalent of
a million dollars to fix the problems he was having with his DC generators and motors. Tesla fixed
Edison's machines and when he asked for the money he was promised, Edison laughed him off and had
this to say, Tesla, you don't understand our American humor.
Tesla came over from Graz and went to work for Thomas Edison. Nonetheless, Edison offered him a job,
promising Tesla fifty thousand dollars if Tesla could redesign Edison's breakdown-prone DC generator
designs. The new generator designs were a vast improvement over Edison's originals. Upon completing
the job, Tesla went to Edison to collect the $50000 promised for the task. Tesla, Edison replied, you don't
understand our American humor. And Tesla was never paid.
How do we imagine the unimaginable If we're asked to think of an object say, a yellow tulip a picture

Food researchers say that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects,
which were often blue, black, or purple. When food dyed blue is served to study objects, they lose

When countries assess their annual carbon dioxide emissions, they count up their cars and power stations,
but bushfires are not included. Presumably, because they are deemed to be events beyond human control.
In Australia, Victoria alone sees several hundred thousand hectares burn each year. In both 2004 and the

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, not for military conflicts or political
events, but for a whole new age of globalization a 'flattening' of the world. The explosion of advanced

In an attempt to lure new students, leading business schools including Harvard, Stanford, the university of
Chicago and Wharton have moved away from the unofficial missions and prerequisite of four years' work
experience and instead have set their sights on recent college graduates and so-called early career
professionals with only a couple years of work under their belt.
Marriage is a big step in anyone's life and there is an argument to be made against getting married too
early. As any newlywed couple knows, there is a huge amount of financial pressure associated with
marriage. Firstly, the wedding reception and honeymoon will cost you an arm and a leg. Then there's the
matter of home loans, rent and energy bills.
Charles Darwin published his paper "On the Origin of Species" in 1859. It is one of the most well-known
pieces of scientific literature in human history. In the paper, Darwin proposes the theory of natural
selection. He states that for any generation of any species, there will always be a struggle for survival.
Many people believe that many employers discriminate against older people because youths have more

countries, your salary is dependent on how many years of work experience you have. It is far more cost
efficient to hire postgraduates, fresh out of university, than senior staff with over twenty years of industry
knowledge.
The researchers think that long-distance fliers such as the American golden-plover and the white-rumped
sandpiper picked up the spores while lining their nests. Then when the birds arrive in new places they
molt, leaving behind the feathers and their precious cargo-to start growing again at the other end of the
world.

"The situation is similar to a pregnant woman that has twin babies in her belly,"says Avi Loeb of the

publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Life expectancy has increased dramatically in the last century. Most people these days will live for over
70years. This is more than double the lifespan of the average human in the seventeenth century. We can
attribute our longevity to advances in medicine and lifestyle. While everyone agrees that living longer is
wonderful, overpopulation is becoming a serious environmental concern.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and attains a depth of over a mile. While the
specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon is the subject of debate by
geologists, recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least
17million years ago.
The development of easy-to-use statistics is being taught and learned. Students can make transformations
of variables, create graphs of distributions of variables, and select among statistical analyses all at the
click of a button. However, even with these advancements, students sometimes find statistics to be an
arduous task.
Lincoln's apparently radical change of mind about his war power to emancipate Slaves was caused by the
escalating Scope of war, which convinced him that any measure to weaken the confederacy and
strengthen the Union war effort was justifiable as a military necessity.
Food is one of the most important things you'll ever buy. And yet most people never bother to think about

Parents need to take control of the television viewing of Pre-schoolers and children of early school age. A
workable technique is to make a simple but firm weekly plan as to what programs will be permitted and
how much time overall may be spent in viewing. Any child's weekly schedule normally involves a certain
amount of time for school, naps, outdoor play and indoor play.
Parents can communicate their personal feeling about undesirable programs both by discouraging their
children from watching them and by writing to their local television station or to the programs sponsors.
The public does have a voice. Clearly, not all programs need please everybody. We do have a choice of
programs and we also have a choice, for ourselves and at least for our younger children, of watching or
not watching. There is an off button on every set.
Pluto lost its official status as a planet yesterday when the International Astronomical Union downsized
the solar system from nine to eight planets. Although there had been a passionate debate at the IAU
General Assembly Meeting in Prague about the definition of a planet -and whether Pluto met the
specifications- the audience greeted the decision to exclude it with applause.
Environment problems caused by hard rock mining involve water pollution by metals themselves,
chemicals used in processing, acid drainage, and sediment. Metals and metal-like elements in the ore are
toxic and prone-to cause trouble by ending up in nearby streams and water tables as a result of mining
operations.
The core of the problem was the immense disparity between the country's productive capacity and the
ability of people to consume. Great innovations in productive techniques during and after the war raised
the output of industry beyond the purchasing capacity of U.S.farmers and earners.

It is difficult to tell whether the speaker approves of Hemingway lifestyle or not. He was famously macho
and spent a lot of time hunting wild animals, going to wars and getting into fights. All these things got

people prefer to read about his life than read his books.

A study found that the research funded by the soft drinks industry have different results from research
funded by other sources and went on to suggest that there may have been biased by the research itself.
The whole point of the scientific methods is to ensure the research results are not influenced by the source

Studying abroad is a very popular option for students who come from a wealthy family. Most people
believe that overseas experience provides a deeper understanding of cultures and develops
communication skills. While this may be true, not all of these new experiences are useful for finding a
job. Employers tend to value interpersonal skills and industry knowledge more than cultural background.
Augustus was given the powers of an absolute monarch, but he presented himself as the preserver of
republican traditions. He treated the Senate, or state council, with great respect, and was made Consul
year after year. He successfully reduced the political power of the army by retiring many soldiers, but
giving them land or money to keep their loyalty.
The primary application we're targeting at first is to give people a decision aid during rehabilitation,

Written examinations are a fact of life for most high school and university students. However, recent
studies have shown that this traditional form of assessment may not be an accurate indicator of academic
performance. Tests have shown that many students experience anxiety during exam weeks, which leads to
poorer results. As a result, some learning institutions are replacing exams with alternative assessments
such as group work and oral presentations.
One of the unidentifiable objects in this study lies just outside Centaurus A (NGC 5128), an elliptical

Britain, then, was slower to create and develop a police force than the rest of Europe: France had one long
before - indeed, the word police is taken from the French. This fact was not unimportant, as the very idea
of a police force was seen as foreign - that is, French - and particularly undesirable, and was generally
regarded as a form of oppression.

A university is not a business. More precisely, a not-for-profit college or university is significantly

different than a for-profit business. A university has no owners; it is a public trust. Without owners, it has
no one to pay dividends to and no one for whom it must maximize its profits. A business has a single
overriding goal: the maximization of return for the owners.
This study marks the first time scientists have linked dike formation to large, damaging earthquakes, and
Wauthier is looking back through history for more examples. She says researchers will never be able to
predict exactly when an earthquake might strike after a dike intrusion. But at least now, researchers and
rift zone residents know they're not just in for bangs-they may also be in for shudders.
But they did find something that had a much bigger impact on wildlife: habitat quality. The best predictor
of wildlife abundance was not human activity, but factors like forest connectivity, nearby housing

In the past, Naming English as a separate subject seemed relatively easy. The textbook selected and
graded items of language which were put into content and then practiced intensively. New items were

The coastal wetlands have environmental and economic importance. Wetlands provide natural wealth.
They have important filtering capabilities. As the runoff water passes, they retain excess nutrients and
some pollutants. They maintain water flow during dry periods. Thousands of people depend on
groundwater for drinking.
The tsunamis could provide crucial information about the habitability of ancient Mars. The first one
occurred when the planet must have been relatively warm and amenable for life, because it carved out
backwash channels as it returned to the sea. By contrast, the planet had become much cooler by the time
the second tsunami hit-the waters apparently flash-froze after flowing onto the surface.
First discovered in 2007, "fast radio burst" continue to defy explanation. These cosmic chirps last a

Dolphins, whales and porpoises are all social animals, but some species are more sociable than others.
This depends on the environment because a species adopts the lifestyle most suitable for this. Among
dolphins, forming groups makes it easier for them to find food, reproduce and gain knowledge. They are
safer, too, because dolphins can communicate danger when there are threats around.
It's not that human activities didn't impact wildlife at all of course. Heavily hunted species, like white-
tailed deer, grey squirrels, and raccoons, were photographed somewhat less often in hunted areas.
Coyotes showed up more often in hunted areas. While most species didn't avoid hiking trails, the
predators actually preferred them.

For the purposes of argument, culture is divided into material and non-material, and the speaker's aim is
to show how they both affect each other. Material developments in tools and technology can affect non-
material culture, our customs and beliefs, and the other way around. Genetics is used as an example as it
has changed the way we think about life, but also our beliefs have affected its rate of development.
There are three main interpretations of the English Revolution. The longest lasting interpretation was that
the Revolution was the almost inevitable outcome of an age-old power struggle between parliament and
crown. The second sees it as a class struggle, and a lead-up to the French and other revolutions. Finally,
the third interpretation sees the other two as too fixed, not allowing for unpredictability, and that the
outcome could have gone either way.
Programming is the art of expressing solutions to problems so that a computer can execute those

Long isolated from Western Europe, Russia grew up without participating in the development like the
Reformation that many Russians taking pride in their unique culture, find dubious value. Russia is, as a
result, the most unusual member of the European family, if indeed it is European at all. The question is
still open to debate, particularly among Russians themselves.
As to the Industrial Revolution, one cannot dispute today the fact that it has succeeded in inaugurating in
a number of countries a level of mass prosperity which was undreamt of in the days preceding the
Industrial Revolution. But, on the immediate impact of Industrial Revolution, there were substantial
divergences among writers.
The diversity of human language may be compared to the diversity of the natural world. Just as the
demise of plant spices reduces genetic diversity, and deprives humanity or potential medical and
biological resources. So extinction of language takes with it a wealth of culture, art and knowledge.
If bonus or incentive pay schemes work so well for chief executive and bankers, why does everyone not

This is what needs to happen on climate change: the world needs to put a price on carbon emissions and

Major breeding areas, and breeding islands, are shown as dark green areas or darts. Open darts are shown
no-breeding records on islands and are also used for offshore sightings, that is from ships or boats. Other
areas where species are not meant to be seen are plaits pale green, with pale green hatching where records
are usually sparse.
Since its inception, the UN system has been working to ensure adequate food for all through sustainable
agriculture. The majority of the world's poorest people live in rural areas of developing countries. They
depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihoods. This makes them particularly vulnerable
to man-made and natural influences that reduce agricultural production.
It seems that language appeared from nowhere since no other species has anything resembling human
language. However, other animals do possess basic systems for perceiving and producing sounds that
enable them to communicate. These systems may have been in place before the appearance of language.
The best comparison is likely a magnetar, a young neutron star with a powerful magnetic field, the
researchers said. Magnetars also produce bright X-ray flares. While magnetars are thought to be young
stars, the two flaring objects in this study reside near elliptical galaxies, which contain older stars. So the
objects are likely too old to be magnetars, the researchers said.

they used public records for the next five years to find out who died.
This book is no ordinary book, and should not be read through from beginning to end. It contains many

DeLone and McLean's model has been criticized by some authors. Indeed, this model is specific to
contexts of voluntary use of information technology. The usage variable remains a success variable of
information systems if the user himself decides to adopt or reject the technology. However, for mandatory
uses, such as for ERP systems, the use of the technology is obvious. The success of information systems
cannot, therefore, be measured by usage.
Psychologist Saho Takagi, a graduate student at Kyoto University in Japan, strolls into one of Japan's

Legal writing is usually less discursive than writing in other humanities subjects, and precision is more
important than variety. Sentence structure should not be too complex; it is usually unnecessary to make
extensive use of adjectives or adverbs, and consistency of terms is often required. For example, when
describing a case, the plaintiff should always be referred to as the plaintiff.
The semiconductor industry has been able to improve the performance of electric systems for more than

The grid-based infrastructure enables large-scale scientific applications to be run on distributed resources.
However, in practice, grid resources are not very easy to use for the end-users who have to learn how to

so that the end-users are shielded from the complicated details.
Scientific studies show that by age three there is a gap in brain development between kids who are read to

closing the achievement gap.
The physical location of a restaurant in the competitive landscape of the city has long been known as a

Northcote Parkinson, a British writer, formulated Parkinson's rule: "Work expands to fill the time allotted
to it; or, conversely, the amount of work completed is in inverse proportion to the number of people
employed." Simply said: If you have an hour to do a 5-minute job, it will take an hour to do it. A large
number of people accomplish less work than a smaller number of people.
The provision of accurate and authoritative statistical information strengthens modern societies. It

First-year university students have designed and built a groundbreaking electric car that recharges itself.
Fifty students from the University of Sydney's Faculty of Engineering spent five months cobbling

to generate electricity from the energy of the tides. Though not currently widely utilised, due to high costs
and limited availability, it can be called the energy resource of the future given the current rate of
depletion of energy resources.
Certain types of methodology are more suitable for some research projects than others. For example, the
use of questionnaires and surveys is more suitable for quantitative research whereas interviews and focus
groups are more often used for qualitative research purposes.
Most countries are affected by labor migration. In many rural places, the traditional extended family has
been undermined by the need for family members to migrate to towns as an economic necessity.
Migration, therefore, presents a major challenge everywhere to social and economic policy.

One of the major factors influencing future home design will be the probable change in climate, with
hotter summers, colder winters, and the possibility of floods. Consequently, houses will be built with
better insulation and will also need ways of keeping cool in hot weather, whether that's air conditioning or
more shading of windows.
Until fairly recent times, the origin of birds was one of evolution's great mysteries. This is no longer the
case. Fossil evidence from China now conclusively proves that there is an evolutionary link between birds
and several types of extinct prehistoric reptiles which lived millions of years ago, or in other words,
dinosaurs.
Summerhill School was regarded with considerable suspicion by the educational establishment. Lessons
were optional for pupils at the school, and the government of the school was carried out by a School
Council, of which all the pupils and staff were members, with everyone having equal voting rights.
The College has a fascinating museum dedicated to archaeology and anthropology. It contains
information about many of the studies which have been carried out by members of the College over the
five hundred years of its existence. There are many unique exhibits brought back from excavations and
explorations in all the continents.
There are many kinds of pond, but nearly all are small bodies of shallow, stagnant water in which plants
with roots can grow. Water movement is slight and temperatures fluctuate widely. The wealth of plants
ensures that during daylight hours oxygen is plentiful. However, at night, when photosynthesis no longer
takes place, oxygen supplies can fall very low.
Before the time of Alexander the Great, the only eastern people who could be compared with the Greeks

in the fields of science and philosophy were from the Indian sub-continent. However, because so little is
known about Indian chronology, it is difficult to tell how much of their science was original and how
much was the result of Greek influence.
In the middle ages, the design and use of flags were considered a means of identifying social status. Flags
were, therefore, the symbols not of nations, but of the nobility. The design of each flag resembled the
"devices" on the noble's Coat of Arms, and the size of the flag was an indication of how high the owner
stood in the nobility.
The ritual of the state opening of parliament still illustrates the basis of the British constitution. The
sovereignty of the Royal Family has passed to the sovereignty of parliament, leaving the monarchy with
the trappings of power, while prime ministers are still denied the kind of status that is given to American
and French presidents.
Most succulent plants are found in regions where there is little rainfall, dry air, plenty of sunshine, porous
soils and high temperatures during part of the year. These conditions have caused changes in plant
structures, which have resulted in greatly increased thickness of stems, leaves and sometimes roots,
enabling them to store moisture from the infrequent rains.
Line engraving on metal, which, to a great extent, was a development of the goldsmith's craft of
ornamenting armor and precious metals, did not emerge as a print-making technique until well into the
15th century. Copper, the metal mainly used for engraving, was expensive, and engraving itself was
laborious and took a long time.
For the first two or three years after the Second World War, a new title would often sell out within a few
months of publication. However, unless public demand for the book was unusually high, they were rarely
able to reprint it. With paper stocks strictly rationed, they could not afford to use up precious paper or tie
page 43 / 100

up their limited capital with a reprint.
The Atlantic coast of the peninsula can be thought of as the cold side, and the sea on this coast tends to be
clear and cold, with a variety of seaweeds growing along the rocky shoreline. On a hot day, however, this
cold water can be very refreshing and is said to be less hospitable to sharks, which prefer warmer waters.
All the works of art shown in this exhibition were purchased on a shoestring budget. The criteria that the
curators had to follow were that works must be acquired cheaply, appeal to a broad range of tastes, and fit
with unusual environments. Thus, many of our better known modern artists are not represented.
Foam-filled furniture is very dangerous if it catches fire, and foam quickly produces a high temperature,
thick smoke and poisonous gases - including carbon monoxide. Therefore, set levels of fire resistance
have been established for new and second-hand upholstered furniture and other similar products.
The starting point of Bergson's theory is the experience of time and motion. Time is the reality we
experience most directly, but this doesn't mean that we can capture this experience mentally. The past is
gone and the future is yet to come. The only reality is the present, which is real through our experience.
Historically, the low level of political autonomy of the cities in China is partly a result of the early
development of the state bureaucracy. The bureaucrats played a major role in the growth of urbanization,
but were also able to control its subsequent development and they never completely gave up this control.
The speaker reminisces about his views of the English Revolution when he was a student and how it
page 44 / 100
User: carowageh
seemed quite clear which side he was on - the aristocrats', not the puritans'. Later he realized there was
more to it than that and there were several ways of interpreting the Revolution: as a struggle between the
king and parliament, as a class war or as an unpredictable situation without clear sides.
Some people object that in order for the eye to modify and still remain a useful instrument to its owner,
many changes would have had to take place simultaneously. However, it is not necessary to suppose this
if the modifications were extremely slight and gradual.
Beauty contests, whether it's Miss Universe or Miss Teen International, are demeaning to women and out
of sync with the times. Opponents say that they are nothing more than symbols of decline. Since
Australians Jennifer Hawkins and Lauryn Eagle were crowned Miss Universe and Miss Teen
International respectively, there has been a dramatic increase in interest in beauty pageants in this
country.
At random times throughout the day, the program asked some 2,200 participants what they were doing,
what they were thinking about and how they felt. Turns out that people spend nearly half their waking
hours thinking about something other than what they're doing. And that whether and where their thoughts
tend to stray is a better predictor of their feelings than what they're actually up to.
Pudritzl and Heller suggest that hunters of extraterrestrial life may want to listen particularly closely for
signals originating at star systems within that narrow band of galactic sky. Advanced civilizations there
may have already detected us using the transit method, they say, and may now be sending us a message.
You might think of this paper, then, like a treasure map, for intelligent life.
Each tube-shaped microbot is a sandwich of three materials. A graphene outer layer, which binds to
heavy metals. A middle layer of nickel, which gives the bots magnetic polarity, so they can be pulled
through wastewater with magnets. And platinum inside- for propulsion. Just add a bit of peroxide to the
page 45 / 100
User: carowageh
wastewater, and it'll react with the platinum to form water and oxygen bubbles, which propel the tubes
along.
To examine what we really think about creativity, scientists asked students to present ideas for how
airlines can get more revenue from their passengers. Half the students were told to come up with novel
solutions, and the rest were asked to stick with something more tried-and-true. Other students who then
listened to these pitches rated those who were innovative as having less leadership potential.
Collins and Greg Stock, Yosemite's park geologists, wanted to know if small rock movements, induced
by changing temperatures, might weaken cracks and contribute to rock falls. So the researchers-who were
both climbers-found a suitable fracture near the base of a 500-meter-tall cliff and installed instruments
called crack meters, which monitored the width of the crack over time.
Over time a split would have appeared in wolf populations, he says: those wolves that feared humans, and
those that didn't. So this would have facilitated, I think, the domestication process. At which point
humans deliberately took wolves as pets. But that domestication process, Frantz says, may have happened
more than once: first in the west, in Europe. And again in the Far East, in Asia.
Nell says that, in order to seek protecting from their furry foes, birds actually prefer to build their nests in
plots of swamp with a resident alligator. In fact, in one study a graduate student planted fake alligators.
The birds seemed to prefer to build nests close to them. Where there's a water source, there are alligators,
so it's sort of this moat of protection around these colonies.
Then the researchers thought, what if they could tap into this energy to develop a sort of sweat-powered
bio battery. Their proof-of-concept setup topped out at only about 4 micro Watts of juice-not even enough
to run a watch. But with better electronics, exercising in the future could make dirty clothes and some
clean energy.

In 1998, James Thompson pronounced that he had isolated human embryonic stem cells in the laboratory.
At last, these powerful cells were within the grip of scientists to experiment with, understand, and
develop into fixes for the things that go wrong.
In order to achieve the free flow of goods and services, with work and capital between the member
countries, they needed to establish mutual politics in areas as diverse as agriculture, transport, and
working conditions. When they had agreed on these policies, they became legal. Now, though, the EU is
concerned with a far wider range of issues.
Dolphins have adopted group living as a response to living in close contact with other animals in the
ocean, some of which kill dolphins for food. Living in social groups makes it easier to hunt for food and,
in a dangerous environment, it makes sense in terms of safety to move about in large numbers.
The researchers think that this kind of coordination might have evolved because woodpeckers invest so
much time and energy carving out their nest hole in a tree. If they were kicked out and had to start over,
they might not get a chance to reproduce and fledge their offspring.
The Roman state was tested almost to destruction by the defeat at Cannae by the Carthaginians led by
Hannibal - and according to the historian Polybius it was only what he called the "peculiar virtues" of the
Roman constitution that allowed it to survive this crisis.
The audio, which includes more than 1,000 separate data files, was captured in the early 1970s by the late
Hetty van de Rijt. She recorded the various screams, barks, and how calls made by a group of chimps,
page 47 / 100
User: carowageh
including 17 youngsters, living in the Gombe National Park in Tanzania.
Investigators also compared those microbes with those living in 52 other soil samples taken from all
around the planet. The park had organisms that also exist in deserts, frozen tundra, forests, rainforests and
prairies. Antarctica was the only area that had microbes that did not overlap with those found in Central
Park. Only a small percentage of the park's microbes were found to be already listed in databases.
Some of the pain patients may become hooked. Or their meds may find their way to friends or relatives
who take them recreationally. Or a prescription opioid user may transition to heroin. Heroin is just
another opioid drug, so the brain doesn't distinguish whether it comes from a pharmacy or from a street
drug dealer.
It's projected that, over the next hundred years, temperatures on Earth could rise an average of nearly five
degrees Celsius. While some animals might be able to migrate north to escape the brunt of the heat, plants
can't uproot themselves quite so easily. Researchers wondered whether the creatures that disperse plant
seeds might be able to help.
The scientists say this is the first documented instance of nectar that attracts a particular animal assistant
being produced outside of a nectary. In fact, the observed nectar bleeding might actually be an early
system that evolved to include the nectaries found in other plants today. A process that, though not short,
was certainly sweet.
Investigations like this one have been plodding along for 40 years, and some studies-like one following
the deadly Kobe quake in 1995- have found similar correlations. But study author Alasdair Skelton, a
professor of geochemistry at Stockholm University, says the unpredictable study subject makes it tough
to get funding because you can in no way guarantee a result. So l get three years of money, but if there's
no earthquake, there's no result.

In 1861, Matthew Brady, a well- known portrait photographer, approached President Lincoln requesting
permission to move freely about the country photographing the Civil War. Lincoln granted him
permission to travel anywhere with the Union armies, and his record of this conflict brought home to
millions the horrors of war.
The most powerful among these were the Mthethwa under the leadership of Dingiswayo, who radically
changed some aspects of traditional life during his reign. Formerly, military activity was based on local
recruitment; men from a district would fight together under their chief.
A team of Johns Hopkins scientists study sodium channels responsible for electrical signaling in nerve
cells from humans and from cockroaches. Spider venom protein messes with these sodium channels-
which is why venom is dangerous. The researchers then use spider venom protein to disrupt the channels
and thus clarify exactly how the channels function.
Not all solar energy capture devices make electricity directly. For example, steam generated from solar
energy can turn turbines, which then produce electricity. And, in what could be especially useful in
remote regions, solar steam can desalinate water and be used in sanitation and equipment sterilization.
Researchers tested water and sediment at the Cedars. Some samples got dosed with mercuric chloride to
kill any life present. Those dosed samples produced no methane. But the samples in which microbes were
allowed to survive did put out methane, confirming that at least some of the methane at the springs is
indeed biological in origin.

The problem is, that increased immune vigilance has a side effect: allergies. Our speculation is that this is
some kind of trade-off. In the past you needed to resist some kind of pathogen, and the trade-off or
sacrifice you have to make is increased responsiveness to nonpathogenic allergens. So next time some of
you get the springtime sniffles, blame your distant ancestor-the one with the heavy brow ridge.
Nell and his colleagues took to the Everglades at night, hunting for gators near and far from nests. You
have to use a spotlight and you see the little demon eyes shining out of the marsh. They lassoed the
gators, pulled them into the airboat, and took blood samples and body measurements.
The elephant is the largest living land mammal. During evolution, its skeleton has greatly altered from the
usual mammal, designed for two main reasons. One is to cope with the great weight of huge grinding
cheek teeth and elongated tusk, making the skull particularly massive. The other is to support the
enormous bulk of such a huge body.
Shrimp farmers used to hold animals in nursery ponds for 30 to 60 days; now they try to move them into
growout ponds in less than 30 days (at 0.5 to 0.8 grams each). This reduces stress on the animals and
dramatically increases survivals in the growout ponds. Many farms in Honduras that abandoned nursery
ponds have gone back to them, and the results have been surprisingly positive. They're using the old,
uncovered, earthen, nursery ponds.
Public demand for education has remained strong, reflecting the importance of education as a means of
social progress. Aware of the added value of education to the world of work, the government continues to
innovate and update the education system in order to produce a qualified and competent workforce.
A national study into fraud by bookkeepers employed at small and medium-sized businesses has

bookkeepers who defrauded their employers stole three times, on average, the amount that women stole.
Business school admissions officers said the new drive to attract younger students was in part the result of
a realization that they had inadvertently limited their application pool by requiring several years' work
experience. Talented students who might otherwise have gone to business school instead opted for a law
or policy degree because they were intimidated by the expectation of work experience.
A unique interactive featuring environments is that they allow vendors to create retail interfaces with
highly interactive features. One desirable form of interactivity from a consumer perspective is the
implementation of sophisticated tools to assist shoppers in their purchase decisions by customizing the
electronic shopping environment to their individual preferences.
Internal combustion engine, enabling the driver to decide which source of power is appropriate for the

The preparation of abstract is an intellectual effort, requiring general familiarity with the subject. To bring
out the salient points of author's argument calls for skill and experience. Consequently a considerable

Hundreds of millions of American people eat fast food every day without giving it too much thought,
unaware of the subtle and not so subtle ramifications of their purchases. They just grab their tray off the

soon forgotten.

As introverts are thinking, they reach back into long-term memory to locate information. An introvert will
often compare old and new experiences when making a decision, which slows the processing down but
leads to carefully thought-out decisions. This means that introverts have an active dialogue with
themselves and usually walk around with many thoughts in their minds.
Imagine living all your life as the only family on your street. Then, one morning, you open the front door
and discover houses all around you. You see neighbors tending their gardens and children walking to
school. Where did all the people come from? What if the answer turned out to be that they had always
been there-you just hadn't seen them?
A Hazard Assessment should be performed for work involving distillations of organic liquids and should

Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in
the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, "The Tramp", and is
considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry. His career spanned more
than 75 years, from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977, and encompassed
both adulation and controversy.
Aboriginal people are believed to have arrived as early as 60,000 years ago, and evidence of Aboriginal
art in Australia dates back at least 30,000 years. Several states and territories had their origins as penal
colonies, with the first British convicts arriving at Sydney Cove in 1788.

teams of experts.
A guild is an association of artisans or merchants who oversee the practice of their craft or trade in a
particular area. The earliest types of guild formed as confraternities of tradesmen. They were organized in
a manner something between a professional association, a trade union, a cartel, and a secret society.
While apes and monkeys are both primates, and are part of the same primate suborder, there are lots of

Teenage girls are continuing to outperform boys in English while the gender gap in achievements in math
and science has almost disappeared. The figures show that last year 80% of 14 year old girls reached at
least the expected level 5 in English, compared with 65% of boys. But in math, the girls are just 1% ahead
of boys, while in science the difference is 2%.
Your body's composed of trillions of cells - lots of different types of cells that make up different organs

The maximum yield of plants, determined by their genetic potential, is seldom achieved because factors
such as insufficient water or nutrients, adverse climate conditions, plant diseases, and insect damage will
limit growth at some stage. Plants subjected to these biotic and abiotic constraints are said to be stressed.
Certainly one of the important values of literature is that it nourishes our emotional lives. An effective

Have you ever pictured a world without light? Just think how much we rely on man-made light sources in
our lives. Without engineers, we wouldn't be able to live the way we do. No street lights, no TV, no
computer display, no house lights. Engineers design and build all these things, and they also design, build
and run the electricity systems that power all these light sources.
The transition from the "brick and mortar" structure to "click and order" model started with the
emergence of Information Technology and its use in the financial sector. The use of technology in
banking has resulted in availability of multiple delivery channels like ATMs, tele-banking, internet
banking, and mobile banking.
In multi-lingual countries, code-mixing, the use of more than one variety in the same utterance or
sentence and code-switching, the use of different languages or varieties between sentences is common
and natural. Despite its frequency, or perhaps because of it, some scholars and self-appointed guardians of
linguistic morality, view both code-mixing and code-switching as a sign of linguistic deficiency.
You used to think that being green was a luxury for your company, but climate change has made you

Thus, a country might possess a sizeable rural population, but have an economic system in which the
interests of the voters were predominantly related to their incomes, not to their occupations or location;
and in such a country the political system would be unlikely to include an important agrarian party.
Abstraction is an important layer of computer because people cannot do anything on computers without
symbolic system. Language is a classical symbolic system. People use sign language and movements
when they do something at the same time. For example, people asked for help by waving hands when
they repelled rhinoceros at the same time. Thus, human can use hands to communicate when they do
things simultaneously.
The emergence of information technology has created new products, processes and distribution systems.
New products include the computer, the Internet and digital TV; new processes include Internet banking,

If countries can specialize in certain goods they can benefit from economies of scale and lower average
cost. This is especially true in the industry with high fixed costs or that require a high level of investment.
The benefits of the economy of scale will ultimately lead to lower prices for consumers and greater

Australia has one of the world's most important mining industries. It is a major exporter of coal, iron ore,
gold, and copper and is self-sufficient in all minerals bar petroleum. Since the first discoveries, the coal in

Every morning, no matter how late he had been up, my father rose at 5:30, went to his study, wrote for a

he was not unemployed or mentally ill.
Perhaps the most measurable benefit of the program has been the opportunity to me in small groups,

The brain is divided into its 'hemispheres' by a prominent groove. At the base of this lies nerve fibers
which enable these two halves of the brain to communicate with each other. But the left hemisphere

Scientists have recommended actions the government of Madagascar's recently elected president, Andry
Rajoelina should take to turn around the precipitous decline of biodiversity and help put Madagascar on a

biodiversity in the world, have suffered terribly in recent years from illegal mining, logging, and
collection of threatened species for the pet trade.
Noninvasive brain stimulation is having its heyday, as scientists and hobbyists alike look for ways to
change the activity of neurons without cutting into the brain and implanting electrodes. Next, the

When we put toast in the toaster or add marshmallows to the top of our sweet potatoes for a baked

toasted?
Normally, if we spin around in an office chair and suddenly stop, we feel like we're still moving. That's
because fluid in the inner ear responsible for detecting movement continues to whirl around due to inertia,

We all know about bacteria, viruses and microscopic protozoa. We can watch the way that these tiny
agents move into our bodies and damage our organs. We have a growing understanding of how our body

Before the discovery of Australia, people in the old world were convinced that all swans were white, an
unassailable belief as it seemed completely confirmed by empirical evidence. The sighting of the first

significance of the story lies.
Yet it is precisely in observing the intertwinings of success and failure that Chasing the Flame makes its

new treatments to combat memory loss from conditions such as traumatic brain injury or Alzheimer's
disease.
Deaf children learning a language could certainly pursue the development of listening and spoken
language skills if desired, and doing so would carry much less risk knowing the child would have mastery
in at least one language.
The terms summary and abstract are often used interchangeably resulting in some confusion. This
problem arises because there are two distinct types of abstracts, descriptive and informative. The
informative abstract is sometimes called summary; the descriptive is not. The descriptive abstract is
usually only two or three sentences in length, hence it is not a summary or very informative.
University of Adelaide researchers have uncovered fundamental new information about the malting
characteristics of barley grains. They say their finding could pave the way to more stable brewing
processes or new malts for craft brewers. Published in the Nature publication scientific reports, the
researchers discovered a new link between one of the key enzymes involved in malt production for the
brewing and a specific tissue layer within the barley grain.
There is a tendency, especially in the popular press to concentrate on the negative effects of immigration.
In that context, this lecture listing the benefits it brings to more developed nations is much more
welcome. Also, it is delivered in a lively and amusing style.

The fact is that those different types of services affect many different dimensions of well-being of people.
And defining the human well-being is also extremely challenging. However, we identified that there are
certain items providing basic material for life, whether it is food, shelter or happiness.
Nature offers no greater splendor than the starry sky on a clear, dark night. Silent, timeless, jeweled with
the constellations of ancient myth and legend, the night sky has inspired wonder throughout the ages - a
wonder that leads our imaginations far from the confines of Earth and the pace of present day, out into
boundless space and cosmic time itself.
There are two main types of market research. Quantitative research involves collecting a lot of
information by using techniques such as questionnaires and other forms of survey. Qualitative research
involves working with smaller samples of consumers, often asking them to discuss products and services
while researchers take notes about what they have to say.
Thus, language acquisition might be like other biological functions. The linguistic clumsiness of tourists
and students might be the price we pay for the linguistic genius we displayed as babies, just as the
decrepitude of age is the price we pay for the vigor of youth.
Researchers have conducted a study that has determined the role that a critical protein plays in the
development of hair cells. These hair cells are vital for hearing. Some of these cells amplify sounds that
come into the ear, and others transform sound waves into electrical signals that travel to the brain.

The free market is extremely competitive and companies are constantly trying to gain an edge over their
rivals. Merchandising and brand image play a major role in attracting customers, but they often lead to
over-packaging. This is a serious problem since most packaging these days are made of plastics which are
not biodegradable. Some people blame the manufacturers for their blatant disregard, while others point
the finger at consumers.
Modern humans arrived in westernmost Europe 41,000 to 38,000 years ago, about 5,000 years earlier
than previously known, according to an international team of researchers that discovered stone tools used
by modern humans dated to the earlier time period in a cave near the Atlantic coast of central Portugal.
The tools document the presence of modern humans at a time when Neanderthals were thought to be
present in the region.
Whether flu or coronavirus, it can take several days for the body to ramp up an effective response to a
viral infection. New research describes how different cells in the immune system work together,
communicate, and - in the case of cells called neutrophils - bring about their own death to help fight off
infections. The findings could have important implications for the development of vaccines and anti-viral
therapies.
Researchers have found a way to convert the aromatic substance vanillin into a redox-active electrolyte
material for liquid batteries. The technology is an important step towards ecologically sustainable energy

UK so that must be a sustainable benefit against form in one pain.
Orientalists, like many other nineteenth-century thinkers, conceive of humanity either in large collective
terms or in abstract generalities. Orientalists are neither interested in nor capable of discussing
individuals; instead, artificial entities predominate. Similarly, the age-old distinction between "Europe"
and "Asia" or "Occident" and "Orient" herds beneath very wide labels of every possible variety of human
plurality, reducing it in the process to one or two terminal collective abstractions.
Australians speak English of course. But for many tourists and even some locals, Australian English has
only tenuous links with the mother tongue. Our speech is peppered with words and phrases whose arcane
meanings are understood only by the native speaker. It is these colorful colloquialisms that Australian
slang is yet to truly explain.
The inner life that good writers reveal in their characters often gives us glimpses of some portion of

The researchers said that the best comparison is likely a magnetar, a young neutron star with a powerful
magnetic field. Magnetars also produce bright X-ray flares. While magnetars are thought to be young
stars, the two flaring objects in this study reside near elliptical galaxies, which contain older stars. So the
objects are likely too old to be magnetars.

Globalization has affected what we eat in ways we are only beginning to understand. Modern food
production is no longer related to our biological needs but is in direct conflict with them. The relationship
between diet and our fertility, our cancer, heart disease and mental illness is becoming clear. Yet much of
our food is nutritionally bankrupt.
Closure activities allow participants to consolidate learning, say goodbye to group mates, and attend to
any unfinished business prior to the ending of the group experience. Generally, these activities involve
some reflection upon what has been learned or accomplished during the preceding time together and a
sharing of those thoughts or insights with other participants.
This is an extremely useful resource, which ranks books and academic papers on the subject not only in
terms of their reliability but also their readability. As a result, it is likely to save students time and effort

really need.
For the designers and engineers who spend years crafting Team USA's uniforms to offer both style and
extraordinary aerodynamics, the need to keep athletes warm in these extreme temperatures posed an
added dimension of difficulty.
Research on motivation has suggested that a strong sense of autonomy is the key to developing the
healthy self-motivation that allows children and teens to pursue their goals with passion and to enjoy their
achievements. But what we see in many of the kids we test or tutor is motivational patterns that are at the
extremes of one, an obsessive drive to succeed and two, seeing little point in working hard.

A new study in mice finds that a high-fat diet allows cancer cells to outcompete immune cells for fuel,
impairing immune function and accelerating tumor growth. Cancer cells do so by rewiring their
metabolisms to increase fat consumption. Blocking this rewiring enhances anti-tumor immunity. The
findings suggest new strategies to target cancer metabolism and improve immunotherapies.
Astronomers think planets can exist in orbits far from their star, and propose a two-step process:
interactions with the star or inner planets kick it out of the inner system, and then a passing star stabilizes
the orbit to keep it bound. Such a scenario could explain the hypothesized 'Planet Nine' in our solar
system. Astronomers have now confirmed that one binary star system, HD 106906, has a planet in a
bound, highly eccentric orbit.
Almost 200 years after French physicist Jean Peltier discovered that electric current flowing through the

The evidence for the harmful effects of alcohol on brain health is compelling, but now experts have
pinpointed three key time periods in life when the effects of alcohol are likely to be at their greatest.
Researchers have found a novel form of the Alzheimer's protein tau in the fluid surrounding the brain and
spinal cord. This form of tau - known as MTBR tau - indicates what stage of Alzheimer's a person is in

Researchers have discovered a brain molecule that functions as a 'thermometer' for the presence of others
in an animal's environment. Zebrafish 'feel' the presence of others via mechanosensation and water
movements which turns the brain hormone on.
Injury or disease that afflicts a relatively small number of brain cells causes a chain reaction that stops
activity across a vast network of neural circuits, according to new research. The study may help to explain
why people can suffer from temporary but severe loss of cognitive function in cases of traumatic brain
injury or disease.
New research identifies a process that might have been key in producing the first organic molecules on
Earth about 4 billion years ago, before the origin of life. The process, which is similar to what might have
occurred in some ancient underwater hydrothermal vents, may also have relevance to the search for life
elsewhere in the universe.
The power of the sun, wind and sea may soon combine to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel,

Using an X-ray laser, a research team has investigated how water heats up under extreme conditions. In
the process, the scientists were able to observe water that remained liquid even at temperatures of more
than 170 degrees Celsius. The investigation revealed an anomalous dynamic behavior of water, which is
of fundamental importance for the analysis of sensitive samples using X-ray lasers.
European wildcats, thought to be extinct 50 or so years ago in the Jura mountains, have since recolonized
part of their former territory. This resurgence in an area occupied by domestic cats has gone hand-in-hand
with genetic crosses between the two species. A team of biologists modeled the interactions between the
two species to predict that hybridization will entail the irreversible genetic replacement of wildcats.
Sleep behavior is also known as a sleep disorder. People with sleep disorders often talk or walk in their
sleep. They are not aware of what they are talking about or where they are going. There isn't any serious
effects on the body in general but it may be connected to mental health.
How quickly this occurs depends on the dynamics of fertility, mortality and overseas migration. While a
moderate pace of demographic change allows for gradual adjustment of the economy and policies to the
changing population demographics, rapid changes are more difficult to manage. As a result, governments
and society as a whole may need to take actions to address these issues.
A total of five ozone ascents were taken at Bharati station (Indian mission) Antarctica from April to June
2016. As a stratospheric temperature reduced to -82.24 C on 20th June 2016 indicating the formation of

Neural networks are some of the most important tools in AI. So far, they run on traditional processors in
the form of adaptive software, but experts are working on an alternative concept, the 'neuromorphic
computer'. In this case, neurons are not simulated by software but reconstructed in hardware components.
A team of researchers has now demonstrated a new approach to such hardware - targeted magnetic waves
that are generated and divided in micrometer-sized wafers.
Conservation scientists have long tried to map how much of the planet remains undegraded by human
activity. Previous estimates using satellite imagery or raw demographic data found anywhere from 20 to
40 percent of the globe was free from obvious human incursions, such as roads, light pollution or the
gaping scars of deforestation. But an intact forest canopy can hide an emptied-out ecosystem below.
Charlie Chaplin and his brother Sydney were placed in an orphanage at a very early age. Becoming a
vaudeville performer, he joined Fred Karno's company in 1906. He made his film debut in Making a
Living (1914) and introduced the famous seedy and soft-hearted gentleman-tramp routine, which became
his hallmark. Numerous films for various studios brought him world fame, all based on his mastery of
pathos and slapstick acrobatics.
Artificial Neural Networks have recently become the state-of-the-art technique for crucial signal
processing applications such as specific frequencies classification, structural health monitoring, diseases
detection in power electronics circuitry and motor-fault detection. This is an expected outcome as there
are numerous advantages of using an adaptive and compact deep counterparts, which particularly it can
be efficiently trained with a limited dataset of signals, besides requiring data transformation.
Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure,
chemical processes, physiological mechanisms and evolution. Certain unifying concepts consolidate it
into a single and coherent field that recognizes genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the
engine that propels the creation and extinction.

The legislation, which Democrats hope to push through the Senate by the weekend, remains among the
largest federal relief packages in modern American history. It would deliver hundreds of billions of
dollars for vaccine distribution, hospitals, state and local governments and families struggling to recover
from the economic toll of the coronavirus pandemic.
These decisions are highly nuanced. Of course we use a lot of data to inform our decisions, but we also
rely very heavily on iteration, research, testing, intuition and human empathy. Now, sometimes the
designers who work on these products are called "data-driven," which is a term that totally drives us
bonkers. The fact is, it would be irresponsible of us not to rigorously test our designs when so many
people are counting on us to get it right.
If a child does not succeed in mastering either a spoken language or a sign language, we must then ask

The slight decline in drug overdose deaths in 2018 coincides with Chinese regulations on the powerful
opioid carfentanil, rather than the result of domestic U.S. efforts to curb the epidemic, a new analysis
reveals. What many - including President Donald Trump - perceived as a decline in overdose deaths in
2018, appears to be a return to the historic exponential curve.
Researchers have, inspired by the efficient foraging behavior of a single-celled amoeba, developed an
analog computer for finding a reliable and swift solution to the traveling salesman problem - a
representative combinatorial optimization problem.
Current policy responses do not address the fundamental question of why so many mass shootings take
place in schools. To answer this question, we need to get to the heart of how students experience school

there is little empirical evidence that such security measures decrease the likelihood of school shootings.
Australia's accent can sometimes be difficult for foreigners, particularly Americans, to understand. This is
due to the use of unique words and expressions that are specific to the country. Despite its challenges,
Australia's accent adds a rich and vibrant dimension to its language, making it a colorful part of the
country's cultural heritage.
Participating regularly in physical activity has been shown to benefit an individual's health and wellbeing.
Regular physical activity is important in reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and
stroke, obesity, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The National Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults
recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, preferably every day of the week,
to obtain health benefits.
English colonies emerged along the eastern seaboard for a variety of reasons. People, primarily men,
originally migrated to Virginia to find gold and silver to make a quick profit. After it became evident that
there were no precious metals in the area, men came to Virginia to start cultivating cash crops like
tobacco.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise alters how the brain processes speech, potentially increasing the
difficulty in distinguishing speech sounds, according to neuroscientists. Exposure to intensely loud
sounds leads to permanent damage of the hair cells, which act as sound receivers in the ear. Once
damaged, the hair cells do not grow back, leading to noise-induced hearing loss.

Vaccines work by training and preparing the body's natural defenses - the immune system - to recognize
and fight off viruses and bacteria. If the body is exposed to those disease-causing pathogens later, it will
be ready to destroy them quickly - which prevents illness. When a person gets vaccinated against a
disease, their risk of infection is also reduced.
Britain said it will introduce the world's first public register of the owners of foreign companies holding
property in the country. The move comes in response to growing concern over tax evaders' and money-
launderers use of shell companies to hide their identities. Most overseas companies that own property in
London are registered in tax havens, particularly the British Virgin Islands.
The World Health Organization said an experimental malaria vaccine will be tested on more than 750,000
children in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi next year. The disease causes more than 400,000 deaths annually.
How the vaccine is implemented will be key to its success: it must be administered four times, with the
final dose 18 months after the third.
Smoke from Australia's Black Summer bushfires of 2019 to 2020, which burnt through 18 million

Since the Soviet Union successfully launched the first man-made satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957, about
5,000 more satellites have been put into orbit around the Earth. About 2,000 of these are active and
although the rest are now dysfunctional, they remain in orbit, together with parts from all the rockets that
carried them there. These remnants are often referred to as space junk, space trash or orbital debris.

Peer checking is a very useful and productive way of developing your reviewing skills. When you read
your friend's work, you are assuming the role of the reader (and the teacher). If your friend's work is well
written, then it will be fluent and easy to read, and you will have no problems understanding the overall
content.
Current research models indicate that climate change associated with increasing levels of greenhouse
gases is likely to lead to the soils in the interiors of the major continents drying out. In response to the
drying of cropland, people are likely to seek either new sources of irrigation water or new, wetter areas to
farm. If we choose the desalination of seawater as a possible solution, large amounts of energy will be
required.
Finally, the experimenters examined real insects. To see if leg adhesion might also play a role in the
walking coordination of real flies, they put polymer drops on the flies' legs to cover their claws and
adhesive pads - - as if the flies were wearing boots - and watched what happened. The flies quickly began
to use bipod-like leg coordination similar to the one discovered in the simulation.
Reserve requirements are the proportions of the deposits that banks must keep on hand and are not
allowed to lend out. For example, if the reserve requirement is 10% and you deposit $100 in a bank, the
bank can lend $90 of that $100 to someone else. But it is not allowed to lend the remaining $10.
Having the same dream, again and again, is a well-known phenomenon - nearly two-thirds of the

typical recurring scenarios in these dreams.

From a child's point of view, what is the purpose of TV advertising? Is advertising on TV done to give
actors the opportunity to take a rest or practice their lines? Or is it done to make people buy things?
Furthermore, is the main difference between programs and commercials that commercials are for real,
whereas programs are not, or that programs are for kids and commercials for adults?
As a child, you might dream one day of becoming an astronaut and, the next day, of becoming a ballet
dancer - the possibilities are endless. Eventually, this wealth of choice is whittled down by external
circumstances and internal interests. Similarly, precursor cells in early embryos make a series of stepwise
'decisions' governed by external forces and internal factors to generate the diverse array of cell types
present in adult organisms.
An economic depression is a period of sustained, long-term downturn in economic activity in one or more
economies. It is more severe than a recession, which is a slowdown in economic activity over the course
of a normal business cycle. Economic depressions are characterized by their length, and by abnormally
large increases in the unemployment rate.
History is selective. What history books tell us about the past is not everything that happened, but what
historians have selected. They cannot put in everything: choices have to be made. Choices must similarly
be made about which aspects of the past should be formally taught to the next generation in the shape of
school history lessons.
A ubiquitous neurotransmitter that carries signals between brain cells, dopamine, among its many
functions, is involved in multiple aspects of cognitive processing. The chemical messenger has been
extensively studied from the perspective of external cues, or "deterministic" signals.
Previous research has offered circumstantial evidence that Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar
system, contains more water than all of Earth's oceans put together. However, temperatures there are so
page 74 / 100

cold that the water on the surface is frozen solid. Also, Ganymede's ocean is thought to be 100 miles
below the moon's crust. This means that the water vapor discovered by Hubble is not likely to represent
the evaporation of this ocean.
The sad truth is that happy sounds are infectious. Now comes research that at least partly explains why. It
was published this week in the journal of Neuroscience. A British research team played various sounds
including laughter to people who are having their brains scanned by a functional MRI machine. All the
sounds activated the premotor cortical region of the brain - an area preparing facial muscles to move.
We understand the importance of supporting and restoring biodiversity, and we are teaming up with the

Along with all that they have in common, infants also show unique individual traits. Some are more
active than others, some are more sociable and some are more interested in the world around them.
Infants earlier on show consistent differences in friendliness and anxiety level which form part of their

The findings of modern research support the view that the evolution of primitive men and its culture
should be regarded as "unity". Yet this unity is exceedingly complex, and future research will doubtless
enable us to make finer distinctions between the periods that people composed it.
There were two types of soldier in the Roman Army: the Roman legionary and the auxiliaries. The
legionaries were the very best soldiers and the auxiliaries were actually non-Roman citizens. Legionaries
wore an undershirt made of linen and a woollen tunic. The linen helped the soldiers to stay cool while the
wool helped to trap heat, keeping the soldiers warm.

Scholars build their own personal libraries to support not only particular projects but also general reading
in their field. They buy or make photocopies of materials when possible so they can come out themselves
frequently, but page and write annotations on them. When moving into a new field they add to the
collections only concentrating on primary texts.
Behavioral and social sciences research helps predict, prevent, and manage illness - in individuals and in
whole populations. This research also helps people change their behaviors, understand treatments, and
learn how to stick with them. Society's role is significant, too: access to health care affects decision-
making and behavior.

While advances in agricultural science have always been critical to ensuring we help feed the world, its
impact and importance are even greater now, as the population grows at a rapid rate and the availability of
arable land steadily declines. Science and technology solutions are essential to meeting the growing

We define paraphrasing as putting a passage from an author into your own words. However, what are
your own words? How different must your paraphrase be from the original? The answer is it should be
considerably different. The whole point of paraphrasing is to show you have read and understood another
person's ideas and can summarize them in your own writing style rather than borrowing their phrases.
Despite a number of events in recent years devoted to language diversity, language endangerment, and
multilingualism, such as the International Year of Languages, public awareness of the issues is still

A level of competence in chemistry is essential to the professional practice of material conservation. An

understanding of scientific concepts and a basic scientific vocabulary enables the conservator to
understand conservation problems, treatments, material techniques in a systematic and quantifiable way,
which can be communicated not only to colleagues in the profession but also those from other disciplines.
Tissues are grouped together in the body to form organs. These include the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys,
and liver. Each body organ has a specific shape and is made up of different types of tissue that work
together. For example, the heart consists mainly of a specialized type of muscle tissue, which contracts
rhythmically to provide the heart's pumping action.
The life of a hunter-gatherer is indeed, as Thomas Hobbes said of the state of nature, 'solitary, poor,
nasty, brutish, and short'. In some respects, to be sure, wandering through the jungle bagging monkeys
may be preferable to the hard slog of subsistence agriculture.
At an early stage in the examination of the domicile of dependency rule in so far as it related to married

mentally disordered persons as well as in the case of married women.

Plato often explores the father-son relationship and whether a father's interest in his sons has anything to
do with how well his sons turn out. A boy's social identity in ancient Athens was determined by his
family identity, and Plato often refers to his characters in terms of their parental and fraternal
relationships. Socrates was not a family man and considered himself as his mother's son.
Children as young as 14 months old will spontaneously help others for no reward. But a study of 3 to 5

Blue whales are the largest living mammals. Though reports of maximum length and weight vary from
one account to another, Antarctic blue whales are known to have reached lengths to 100 feet and weights
of over 150 tons before stocks were severely depleted by whaling operations. North Atlantic blue whales
may be expected to reach lengths of 80-85 feet.
Conscientiousness is a fundamental personality trait. A conscientious person is good at self-regulation

and impulse control. This trait influences whether you will set and keep long-range goals, deliberate over
choices, behave cautiously or impulsively, and take obligations to others seriously.
Emerald is defined by its green color. To be an emerald, a specimen must have a distinctly green color
that falls in the range from bluish green to green to slightly yellowish green. To be an emerald, the
specimen must also have a rich color. Stones with weak saturation or light tone should be called "green
beryl." If it is greenish yellow it is "heliodor." This color definition is a source of confusion.
Permafrost is ground that is frozen year-round. In the Arctic, ice-rich permafrost soils can be up to 260
feet thick. Due to human-caused warming of the atmosphere from greenhouse gas emissions, a steady
thawing of the permafrost is currently taking place where the upper layer of seasonally thawed soil is
gradually getting thicker and reaching deeper into the ground.
As the Delta variant of coronavirus sweeps the U.S. businesses, universities and cities such as New York
and San Francisco have introduced vaccine mandates to boost uptake of jabs, but vaccine hesitancy
remains high and a cottage industry for bogus inoculation cards has emerged to help people get around
the rules.

Optogenetics is a research tool in neuroscience that uses light to alter the activity of genetically
engineered light-sensitive nerve cells to better understand the function and behavior of clusters of neurons
in animals. Now, a team led by researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology has developed an implantable optogenetic light-emitting device that can be wirelessly
recharged.
Tests of a drug known to stimulate brain activity have shown early success in reducing symptoms of
sluggish cognitive tempo in 38 men and women with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It also
significantly corrected deficits in executive brain function, with fewer episodes of procrastination,
improvements in keeping things in mind, and strengthened prioritization skills.
There are many reasons why water tastes stale when it is kept for a long time. Microorganisms play a big
role in this phenomenon. When they grow, they release chemicals into the water from their metabolic
activity. This evaporates over time, so the absence of it from water left out for a long period brings about
a change in taste.
The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda
and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances
surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers
became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found.
To reduce pollution, it is essential that the town center becomes a car-free zone. A ring road should be
built so that cars are diverted away from the town center. The main shopping streets could be converted
into a pedestrianized area. If trees and flowers are planted, the town center will be transformed into a
quiet and green space where residents can enjoy shopping and walking in a healthy environment.
Many non-Japanese know a thing or two about traditional tea ceremony, its history, intricacies and

religious origins. However, few people outside Japan have a deep understanding of the esoteric meaning
of the practice. Indeed, even in Japan, the secret meaning of tea ceremony is little understood except by
those who have devoted their lives to the discipline.
NASA Confirms Thousands of Massive, Ancient Volcanic Eruptions on Mars: Scientists found evidence
that a region of northern Mars called Arabia Terra experienced thousands of "super eruptions," the
biggest volcanic eruptions known, over a 500-million-year period.
Today, however, Skinner's heirs are forcing the sceptics to think again (see article). Backed by billionaire
techies such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, schools around the world are using new software to
"personalize" learning. This could help hundreds of millions of children stuck in dismal classes-but only
if edtech boosters can resist the temptation to revive harmful ideas about how children learn. To succeed,
edtech must be at the service of teaching, not the other way around.
Invaders, pirates, warriors - the history books taught us that Vikings were brutal predators who travelled
by sea from Scandinavia to pillage and raid their way across Europe and beyond. Now cutting-edge DNA
sequencing of more than 400 Viking skeletons from archaeological sites scattered across Europe and
Greenland will rewrite the history book.
The wonderful framework of mature trees creates a secluded implants atmosphere that unites a great
variety of plantings to inspire visitors in all seasons. Spring in the garden is marked by leafing up and
flowering of trees and the eruption of the flowers in the bulb meadows, and woodland understory.
It is highly recommended that the flooring should be strong enough that it can endure all such
amendments done with your furniture or to the increasing and decreasing ratio of visitors. For this
purpose you can opt for hardwood flooring. Being classy and sophisticated in look it is the perfect choice
for your living room whenever you are remodeling your home.

Firstly, the wedding reception and honeymoon will cost you an arm and a leg. Then there's the matter of
home loans, rent and energy bills. If you're looking to start a family, your child's education is another
thing you need to save up for. Teenagers should probably find a proper job before deciding to tie the knot.
In the paper, Darwin proposes the theory of natural selection. He states that for any generation of any
species, there will always be a struggle for survival. Individuals who are better suited to the environment
are fitter, and therefore have a much higher chance of surviving and reproducing. This means that later
generations are likely to inherit these stronger genetic traits.
A university has no owners; it is a public trust. Without owners, it has no one to pay dividends to and no
one for whom it must maximize its profits. A business has a single overriding goal: the maximization of
return for the owners. A university has a multiplicity of goals: to foster learning, to create knowledge, and
to serve its community.
New items were carefully controlled so that the student could cope quite easily. Now that English is used
as a medium of instruction, however, all this has changed. Unknown items of grammar and vocabulary
appear in texts which attempt to explain new and often difficult information. Difficulties with the
language interact with difficulties as regards the subject matter.
Skeptical? Consider these facts In Japan, mobile phones are used for location-based services where the
mobile service provider ties up with a host of other players such as restaurants, car rental companies, etc.
When the mobile user enters that zone, messages from all these players are flashed on the mobile device.
Location-based services are proved in several other countries as well.

They act as natural sponges of flood waters and contain soil erosion. They control floods and save the
buildings from collapsing during heavy rains. The hardwood-riparian wetlands along the Mississippi
River can store sixty days of floodwater.
Prairie dogs can make up words for new animals. Crows are born with the ability to make tools.
Elephants recognize and stroke the bones of a lost family member. As biologists delve into these subjects,
they're demonstrating that we're not nearly as unique as we once thought. It's a perfect time, scientifically
speaking, to reassess our place in the animal kingdom.
If you just change a few words or add some bits of your own to an otherwise reproduced passage, you
will probably be penalized for plagiarism. You should aim to condense and simplify a writer's ideas and
describe them using different sentence structures and expressions.
Neither golden eagles nor bald eagles are endangered species. The US bald eagle population has more
than quadrupled since 2009, from around 72,000 to 317,000 birds. But the US golden eagle population is
still relatively small - around 30,000 birds - and at risk of declining.
Written by ten eminent professors, it had been updated to reflect the shifts of sociological thought in the
last five years, making it the most comprehensive, authoritative, and contemporary dictionary available. It
was essential reading for all students and teachers of sociologies and other related courses, and also for
the general reader.
Since our graduate admission school is not centralized, each of the university's 6 schools and colleges

Our central aim is to enable you to develop knowledge and attitudes and skills that are conducive to
constructive involvement, cooperation and teamwork with others and will serve you well in future
endeavors. To succeed, the process demands all of us a serious exercise in civic responsibility.
Regular exercise releases brain chemicals key for memory, concentration, and mental sharpness at the
same time as lifting your mood, and lowering stress and anxiety all of which contribute to brain health.
Studies show that regular exercise helps you manage complex tasks, organize and razor-sharpen your
focus which is great for those long revision sessions or particularly complex exam questions.
In medicine, the application of information technology means the digitalization of medical records and
the establishment of an intelligent network for sharing those records. Other benefits flow from these
technological changes. In the past medicine has taken a paternalistic stance, with the all-knowing
physician dispensing wisdom, but that is becoming increasingly untenable.
The information session is a 45-minute presentation conducted by an admission representative.

Immediately following the session is a 90-minute walking tour of the campus led by a student
ambassador. Walking tours of the campus generally include classroom buildings, a residence hall room, a
dining hall, the library, athletic facilities, performing art facilities, and the student union.
New York, North Carolina and Iowa were some of the intended destinations of canceled flights that were

The scientists found that division of reproductive labor in ants arose when an ancient insulin signaling
pathway, typically involved in maintaining nutrition and growth, became responsive to social cues. In
doing so, they also uncovered deeper insights into a process underlying how the environment gets under
the skin to affect behavior, physiology, and the health and well-being of other members of a society.
Medieval mapmakers supposedly inscribed the phrase "Here Be Dragons" on maps showing unknown
regions of the world. Unfortunately, apart from an inscription on a globe, this claim is unfounded.
Although there were no dragons, and the inscription "Here Be Dragons" was virtually never used, some
of the purported earliest mapmakers did have to deal with real and formidable megafauna.
Hydrogen will play several roles in our future. For transport, we now see several manufacturers launching
cars powered by electricity produced in a hydrogen fuel cell, and this will happen even more in the near
future. Fuel cell buses are also an attractive solution for public transport. Also engineers are now even
starting to consider using fuel cells and hydrogen to power trains.
There are other components, aside from the wheels and rails, that add to the noise a train makes when it
passes. Older trains had their air conditioning units underneath the carriage, but modern trains have been
lowered to allow people with less mobility to enter the carriage more easily. As a result, air conditioning
units are now on top of the carriage, where they add to the train noise.
The world's fifth largest continent: Antarctica is almost entirely covered by ice 2000 meters thick. The
area sustains varied wildlife including seals, whales, and penguins. The Antarctic treaty signed in 1959
and enforced since 1961 provides for international governance of Antarctica.
Technological advances are eliminating the need for bank tellers, threatening an entry point for women
into the male-dominated industry which has sought to promote more females to leadership roles. While
the climb remains steep, some financial companies have managed to improve the gender balance in their

executive ranks. As teller jobs dwindle, there's a risk that banks will raise the educational requirements
for those jobs.
Canada's first-ever Poverty Reduction Strategy is built on the vision that all Canadians should be able to
live in dignity. It is also built on the belief that all Canadians deserve to be treated fairly and fully
participate in the development of their communities. To be effective, the strategy must have transparent
indicators, clear targets and tangible actions.
Like coffee, plain tea contains just a couple of calories per cup and no sugar. But what's added in it can
change that situation. A medium sweet tea and a large iced latte from fast-food restaurants both pack
about seven teaspoons of sugar. However, the American Heart Association recommends no more than six
teaspoons for the whole day.
The American Cancer Society recommends following a healthy eating pattern at all ages. A new school
year is the perfect time to try some healthier options for your child. Whether you're packing a lunch box
or making lunch at the kitchen counter, you can ensure they're eating healthy food that tastes good.
If you live in a city, you may take your skyline for granted, but let me remind you how cool it is.
Skyscrapers are amazing feats of engineering and a testament to humankind's progress. What's more,
skylines offer an array of architectural styles, as cities certainly weren't built in a day.
After the coldest night in south Florida in a decade, lizards were dropping out of palm trees, landing legs
up. The scientists who raced to investigate the fallen reptiles have now found that, despite such graceless
falls, some of these tropical, cold-blooded creatures are actually more resilient to cold than previously
thought.

When a male African savanna elephant folds his ears while simultaneously waving them, he's ready for a
fight. When a female folds her ears and accompanies the action with an ear flap, that means she's also
issuing a serious threat. But when elephants come together and fold their ears, the animals are expressing
a warm greeting.
Many scholars attribute the 17th-century belief that animals were mere machines devoid of fear, pain or
pleasure to the French mathematician, philosopher and scientist. Animals' feelings, even if present, were
morally irrelevant to Descartes, who attempted to prove his point by subjecting dogs and rabbits to
exquisite torture.
Precambrian cratons -- some of Earth's oldest rocks -- were uninhabitable for microbes for much of their
existence, with the longest period of habitability not much beyond a billion years, and many only for the
past 50 million to 300 million years, according to a paper correlating Earth's deep biosphere with geologic
history.
The colonial institution has a lengthy and illustrious history that dates back over 200 years. Many of the
persons who have worked here are scientists themselves, such as Albert Einstein. He produced
breakthroughs that made it simpler to produce and use electricity, allowing us to do things like switch on
lights, cook dinner, and play video games on consoles.
The term 'voice' and 'text' are multifaceted. Both have a wide range of meanings in everyday speech and
academic usage. You may encounter the two used in a variety of ways. In connection with different
subjects, and they won't always mean exactly the same thing.
The majority of early pictures in the Gallery's care are by unknown artists, and fundamental question,

such as when, where and why they were painted still remain to be answered. Through the application of
scientific methods, this has potential to unlock key that will allow us to determine answers to these
questions.
A meteorite that fell on Earth more than a century ago may contain some of the first concrete evidence for
a cosmic mash-up in the early solar system. Following the birth of our sun 4.5 billion years ago, it is
thought that Jupiter's formation caused two reservoirs of asteroids to gather in the solar system, one inside
the giant planet's orbit and one outside.
The Earth just had the hottest month in recorded history, and it's even worse than normal. The record
comes in a run of unprecedentedly hot months. Not only does it break through the all-time record set a
year before, it also continues a now 10-month long streak of months that are the hottest ever according to
NASA data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration calculates temperatures slightly
different.
During the Early Modern period, the universities of Europe would see a tremendous amount of growth,
productivity, and innovative research. At the end of the Middle Ages, about 400 years after the first
European university was founded, there were twenty-nine universities spread throughout Europe.
The main production of soft drink was stored in 1830's. Since then from those experimental beginning,
there was an evolution until in 1781 when the worlds first cola-flavored beverage was introduced. These
drinks were called soft drinks, only to separate them from hard alcoholic drinks. Today, soft drink is more
favorite refreshment drink than tea, coffee, juice, etc..
A series of camel sculptures carved into rock faces in Saudi Arabia are likely to be the oldest large-scale
animal reliefs in the world, a study says. When the carvings were first discovered in 2018, researchers

In 1953 Skinner visited his daughter's maths class. The Harvard psychologist found every pupil learning
the same topic in the same way at the same speed. A few days later he built his first "teaching machine",
which let children tackle questions at their own pace. By the mid-1960s similar gizmos were being
flogged by door-to-door salesmen. Within a few years, though, enthusiasm for them had fizzled out.
A scientist's evidence is thought to be reliable because it will have been tested and verified at every stage.
This is not, of course, infallible as scientists are subject to human error as much as the rest of us.
Most bond funds have credit risk, which is the risk that companies or other issuers whose bonds are
owned by the fund may fail to pay their debts ,including the debt owed to the holder of their bonds. Some
funds have little credit risk, such as those that invest in insured bonds or U.S. Treasury bonds. But be
careful: nearly all bond funds have interest rate risk, which means that the market value of the bonds they
hold will go down when interest rates go up.
Fake news can distort people's beliefs even after being debunked. For example, repeated over and over, a
story such as the one about the Pope endorsing Trump can create a glow around a political candidate that
persists long after the story is exposed as fake. A 2017 study published in the journal Intelligence
suggests that some people may have an especially difficult time rejecting misinformation.
Credit unions are nonprofit organizations that were imported to the United States from Germany in the
early 1900s. They were regulated in 1934 by the Federal Credit Union Act, which limits membership to
"groups having a common bond of occupation or association". Groups from particular geographical areas
also were eligible to join credit unions.

Scientists studying brain scans of people who were asked to come up with inventive uses for everyday
objects found a specific pattern of connectivity that correlated with the most creative responses.
Researchers were then able to use that pattern to predict how creative other people's responses would be
based on their connections in this network.
Dwayne Johnson has thanked fans for their support after he opened up about his battle with depression.
The 45 year old discussed his mother's suicide attempt and a period he described as the "worst time" of
his life in an interview with The Express. "Got tonnes of responses to this. Thank you," he wrote on
Twitter on Monday. "We all go through the sludge and depression never discriminates.
Ford made a U-turn, scrapping plans for a 1.6 billion factory in Mexico to build compact cars, and
diverting some of the investment to a plant near Detroit to produce electric vehicles. Ford stressed that
this was a commercial decision. Donald Trump had criticized the proposed Mexican factory while
campaigning on the theme of saving American jobs.
Locals in central Finland are campaigning to have reindeer corralled all year round in a dispute with
traditional herders. In what's been described as a "reindeer rebellion", people living in North Ostrobothnia
and Kainuu regions want tighter restrictions on herding, because they say that the free-range animals are
damaging their crops and forests and harming their livelihoods.
Online students who use the innovative robots feel more engaged and connected to the instructor and

Cool room temperature inhibited cancer growth in mice: mice acclimatized to temperatures of 4Â°C had
significantly slower tumor growth and lived nearly twice as long compared with mice in rooms of 30Â°C
because they were burning more brown fat.
What produces these effects are familiar to neuroscientists: external light and dark signals that help set
our daily, or circadian, rhythms, "clock" genes that act as internal timekeepers, and neurons that signal to
one another through connections called synapses. But how these factors interact to freshen a brain once
we do sleep has remained enigmatic.
Neutron stars - the compressed remains of massive stars gone supernova - are the densest "normal"
objects in the known universe. (Black holes are technically denser, but far from normal.) Just a single
sugar cube worth of neutron-star material would weigh 100 million tons here on Earth, or about the same
as the entire human population.
Electric vehicles have arrived. With technology led by Tesla, and all of the world's major car
manufacturers following along behind, electric vehicles are now a common sight on the roads of most
developed countries. Yet the situation in less developed countries is rather different; the only African
country to have started the change to electric vehicles is South Africa.
Based on the results from this study, we hypothesized that a high-protein diet coupled with low

The Classic Era of Mayan came to an end around 900 AD. Why this happened is unclear; the cities were
probably over-farming the land, so that a period of drought led to famine. Recent geological research
supports this, as there appears to have been a 200-year drought around this time.
Symptoms of depression decrease with improvements in sense of smell, particularly among patients with
dysosmia. New research published in the journal Scientific Reports highlights the intricate relationship
between depression and sense of smell. The study found that participants' symptoms of depression
dropped as their odor identification improved, particularly among those with an impaired sense of smell.
Any writer must decide upon an order and a structure for a book in keeping with the reflexive nature of
the work. There are strong currents of reiteration in the book, with each iteration developing
understandings of research, theory, and practice as the story continues to unfold.
Our major conclusion is that the current measure needs to be revised. It no longer provides an accurate
picture of the differences in the extent of economic poverty among population groups or geographic areas
of the country, nor an accurate picture of trends over time.
An industry or workplace often has its own terms for certain items, places, or groups of people, and
university is no different. Here we have attempted to explain some of the terms you may come across on
our websites that are specific to higher education.
The noise restrictions are based on measurements on animals in captivity exposed to noise levels that
induce a temporary threshold shift (TTS) in hearing. The TTS onset threshold is the lowest noise
exposure capable of inducing a small temporary reduction of hearing sensitivity, also known as auditory
fatigue, with full recovery shortly after exposure.

A new breed of rice that is a hybrid of an annual Asian rice and a perennial African rice could be a more
sustainable option. The hybrid rice was able to produce grain for 8 consecutive harvests over four years at
a yield comparable to the standard annual Asian rice, with much lower costs and labor.
The USA sexually teased its troops in the First World War to make them fight harder. Believing that
sexually satisfied men could not be easily motivated, the aim of this teasing was to generate unmet sexual
desire, which the War Department could leverage as motivation to fight.
Most babies start developing their hearing while still in the womb, prompting some hopeful parents to
play classical music to their pregnant bellies. Some research even suggests that infants are listening to
adult speech as early as 10 weeks before birth, gathering the basic building blocks of their family's native
tongue.
People in their 20s and 30s who drink moderate to heavy amounts of alcohol may be more likely to have
a stroke as young adults than people who drink low amounts or no alcohol, according to a study. The risk
of stroke increased the more years people reported moderate or heavy drinking.

According to a peer-reviewed study medical cannabis led to a statistically significant improvement in

quality of life, employment status, and in the reduction of the number of medications in those with
Tourette's Syndrome, in addition to improving comorbidities.
The Texas law prohibiting abortion after detectable embryonic cardiac activity was associated with a
decrease in in-state abortions and an increase in residents obtaining out-of-state abortions. The proportion
of out-of-state abortions obtained at 12 weeks increased significantly from 17.1% to 31%.
Belief that the COVID-19 pandemic was a hoax - that its severity was exaggerated or that the virus was
deliberately released for sinister reasons - functions as a gateway to believing in conspiracy theories
generally. In study, pandemic skeptics were more likely to believe in 2020 election fraud.
Vitamin D deficiency linked to premature death. Over a 14-year follow-up period, researchers found that
the risk for death significantly decreased with increased vitamin D concentrations, with the strongest
effects seen among those with severe deficiencies.
Air pollution reduced when U.S. embassies around the world installed monitors and tweeted the
Readings. The resulting reductions in air pollution levels had large health benefits for residents in these
cities, speaking to the potential efficacy of other monitoring and information interventions.
A study of nearly 2,000 children found that those who reported playing video games for three hours per

Until now, Mars has been generally considered a geologically dead planet. An international team of
researchers led by ETH Zurich now reports that seismic signals indicate volcanism still plays an active
role in shaping the Martian surface.
China's war on particulate air pollution is causing more severe ozone pollution. According to the new
research, there was so much particulate matter in the smog around Chinese cities that it helped to quell
ozone production by acting as a sponge that collected chemical radicals.
A lullaby or cradle song is a soothing song or piece of music that is usually played for children. The
purposes of lullabies vary. In some societies, they are used to pass down cultural knowledge or tradition.
Lullabies can be found in many countries, and have existed since ancient times.
Eating a handful of almonds a day significantly increases the production of butyrate, a short-chain fatty
acid that promotes gut health. Whole almond eaters had an additional 1.5 bowel movements per week
compared to the other groups. Eating almonds could also benefit those with constipation.
Carbon is essential to life on earth, but scientists still struggle to grasp its complexities. Most research to
date has focused on major sources of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, and the use of fossil fuels. A
new study has come to the counter-intuitive conclusion that plants might accumulate more carbon in the
presence of predators and herbivores.
Your subject outlines are a good place to go to find information about which textbooks to buy. You will

Most people do not realize that some banks literally make money by giving loans without having money
on deposit. The system is called fractional reserve banking and is used in most economies. It sounds as
though it is safe because it says that banks have to keep a fraction of their deposits with the Reserve
Bank.
In the past, wars have led to inflation and higher commodity prices. Fighting disrupts trade and prevents
raw materials from being shipped from one country to another. In second-world-war Britain, a banana
was the highest of luxury.
We believe in the inherent value of research in the humanities and social sciences. And our research data
agenda is given by the pursuit of new knowledge that will be of benefit of Australia and the world. We
offer one of the most comprehensive programs in the humanities and social sciences in Australia and the
Asian Pacific region.
The word radical from the Latin word for roots means anyone who advocates fundamental change in the
political system. Literally, a radical is one who proposes to attack some political or social problem by
going deep into the social or economic fabric to get at the root cause and alter this basic weakness.

The tortoise size and shell shape varies depending on where they live. The shell is made of bone and is a
dull brown color. Their ribs, backbone and breastbone have become part of the shell, which is why you
can never separate the tortoise from its shell.
In this course, we will explore how such things as department stores, nationally advertised brand-name
goods, mass produced cars and suburbs transformed the American economy, society and politics. The
course is organized both thematically and chronologically. Each period deals with a new development in
the history of consumer culture.
Experts discuss the significance of attending the theater as a civic occasion, associated with the political
and cultural achievements of Athens. Through archeology and analyses of contemporary art forms such as
decoration on pottery, a picture is built up of ancient Greek theater.
Members of a culture must conform to its norms for the culture to exist and function. Hence, members
must want to conform and obey rules. They first must internalize the social norms and values that dictate
what is normal for the culture. Then they must socialize or teach norms and values to their children.
Globalization refers to a set of changes rather than a single change. Many of these changes are social,
cultural and political rather than purely economic, and one of the main drivers in addition to the global
marketplace is the communication revolution.
In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the
whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation,
which we learn from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we
should know and use even if we could not read or write.

Researchers have discovered a new superhighway network to travel through the Solar System much faster
than was previously possible. Such routes can drive comets and asteroids near Jupiter to Neptune's
distance in under a decade and to 100 astronomical units in less than a century. They could be used to
send spacecraft to the far reaches of our planetary system relatively fast, and to monitor and understand
near-Earth objects that might collide with our planet.
Team members with what researchers call "negative affect" exhibit critical and persistent thinking that
allows them to identify problems needing solutions. On the other hand, team members with "positive
affect" engage in broad and flexible thinking that expands their range of information and helps them see
unusual and creative connections.
To some extent, attendance at cultural venues and events is influenced by a person's age and the
composition of the household in which they live. For example, those people in households with
dependent children were more likely to visit zoological parks and aquariums than people living in single
person households.
Your tutor helps you make the most of your time at university by giving you guidance and support along
the way. All new students are allocated a personal tutor who will encourage you to get the most out of
your course, direct you to other sources of support and help you achieve your goals.
At a time when stress levels are soaring, rates of depression are increasing and the gap between rich and
poor is ever widening. We believe that giving can play a positive role in helping people to feel connected
to those around them and generate a sense of purpose and hope. When we give, we feel valued, useful and
happy.

Statistics are indicators of change and allow meaningful comparisons to be made. While it may be the
issues rather than the statistics as such that grab people's attention, it should be recognized that it is the
statistics that informed the issues. Statistical literacy, then, is the ability to accurately understand, interpret
and evaluate the data that inform these issues.
The course considers the ways in which thinkers have responded to the particular political problems of
their day and the ways in which they contribute to a broader conversation about human goods and needs,
justice, democracy, and the proper relationship of the individual to the state.
