Fine food with beautiful Jazz music; this is a great evening out.

For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable.

For busy librarians and educators, finding instructions for projects, activities, sports, and games that children and teens will find interesting is a constant challenge, this guide is a time-saving, one-stop....

For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.

For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.

For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead.

For the people of brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom.

For this courier job, you're consciously aware than that box you're got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.

For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.

For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.

For your safety, never tamper with these systems.

Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home.

Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill.

Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250, 000 living in its capital, Cayenne.

These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.

The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account.

Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will secure this ability.

Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution.

It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive.

If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.

To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect.

This theory was known as diffusionism.

This means that a DNA database may differ depending on the company that processes the results.

This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance.

This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.

Progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong.

Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States.

In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.

Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community and, if its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance.

When one of these noneconomic categories is threatened and, if we happen to love it, we invent excuses to give it economic importance.

Time was when biologists somewhat overworked the evidence that these creatures preserve the health of game by killing the physically weak, or that they prey only on "worthless"species.

It is painful to read these roundabout accounts today.

Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who,according to the two-step-flow theory,are supposed to drive social epidemics by influcencing their friends and colleagues directly.

This development is boosting wholesale demand from the food service segment by 4 to 5 percent a year across Europe, compared with growth in retail demand of 1 to 2 percent.

These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch.

These men believed in journalism as a calling,and were proud to be published in the daily press.

These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement.

The IASB says it does not want to act without overall planning, but the pressure to fold when it completes it reconstruction of rules later this year is strong.

Such food service operators range from snack machines to large institutional catering ventures, but most of these businesses are known in the trade as “horeca”： hotels, restaurants and cafes.

Moreover, average overall margins are higher in wholesale than in retail; wholesale demand from the food service sector is growing quickly as more Europeans eat out more often; and changes in the competitive dynamics of this fragmented industry are at last making it feasible for wholesalers to consolidate.

However, none of these requirements should deter large retailers ( ' , and even some large food producers and existing wholesalers) from trying their hand, for those that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe stand to reap considerable gains.

For a social epidemic to occur,however,each person so affected,must then influence his or her own acquaintances,who must in turn influence theirs,and so on;and just how many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential.

Big retailers must understand these differences before they can identify the segments of European wholesaling in which their particular abilities might unseat smaller but entrenched competitors.

At any rate, this change will ultimately be acclaimed by an ever-growing number of both domestic and international consumers, regardless of how long the current consumer pattern will take hold.

Anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people can drive trends.

All in all, this clearly seems to be a market in which big retailers could profitably apply their gigantic scale, existing infrastructure, and proven skills in the management of product ranges, logistics, and marketing intelligence.

This ，however， would be a knee-jerk reaction to a subtle argument.

This seems a justification for neglect of those in need， and a rationalization of exploitation， of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.

However， Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind， and while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone， in reality we are continually faced with a question： “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that？ ”Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire， Allen concluded ： “ We do not attract what we want， but what we are.

Because most of us believe that mind is separate from matter， we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless； this allows us to think one way and act another.

Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.

This trend ,which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further.

This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs.

These are disciplines that are going out of style: 22% of American college graduates now major in business compared with only 2% in history and 4% in English.

The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week.

Besides professionalising the professions by this separation, top American universities have professionalised the professor.

This tendency in the natural sciences has long been evident in the social sciences too.

The most famous of these efforts was initiated by Noam Chomsky, who suggested that humans are born with an innate language-acquisition capacity that dictates a universal grammar.

Neither of these patterns is borne out by the analysis, suggesting that the structures of the languages are lire age-specific and not governed by universals.

In some ways, this quest for commonalities defines science.

In physics, one approach takes this impulse for unification to its extreme, and seeks a theory of everything-a single generative equation for all we see.

Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process.

This is the credibility process, through which the individual researcher’s me, here, now becomes the community’s anyone, anywhere, anytime.

This is because the networked computer has sparked a secret war between downloading and uploading - between passive consumption and active creation - whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.

This is a subtle form of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see every day.

One reason for the persistence of this pyramid of production is that for the past half-century, much of the world's media culture has been defined by a single medium - television - and television is defined by downloading.

Of course, it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture and ultimately what it is to be human.

This distinction is so much so that where the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the foremer becomes all the more urgent.

There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basic human urge; yet when one looks at the photographs of the garden created by the homeless, it strikes one that , for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression.

One of these urges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T.

It is this implicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of word garden though in a “liberated” sense, to describe these synthetic constructions.

Another urge or need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is so intrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us.

Yet this enormous resource is not contributing enough to today's global challenges, including climate change, security, sustainable development and health.

Two of the three objecting Justice-Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas-agreed with this Constitutional logic but disagreed about which Arizona rules conflicted with the federal statute.

This year, it was proposed that the system be changed: Horizon 2020, a new program to be enacted in 2014, would not have such a category.

This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with the feverish would described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline’s three-year indictment of “fast fashion”.

This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad.

This is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction.

This is a shame--he community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influence in the real world.

This has resulted in protests from social scientists.

These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable-meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that –and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks.

These issues all have root causes in human behavior: all require behavioral change and social innovations, as well as technological development.

The victims of this revolution , of course ,are not limited to designers.

The trick is to direct these funds better.

However, the numbers are still small: in 2010, about 1,600 of the 100,000 social-sciences papers published globally included one of these keywords.

Every Justice rightly rejected this remarkable claim.

Despite these factors, many social scientists seem reluctant to tackle such problems.

By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.

Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year – about 64 items per person – and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste.

This courageous attitude in fact becomes a requirement for the performers of Beethoven’s music.

I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music.

“We’re doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsidises laziness.

You cannot buy class, as the old saying goes, and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels.

This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100, 000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts.

This keeps fees high and innovation slow.

These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields, they say, and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science.

There are many reasons for this.

The US$3-million Fundamental Physics Prize is indeed an interesting experiment, as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in March.

The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, launched this year, takes an unrepresentative view of what the life sciences include.

But these sites are exceptions to the norm.

At its peak around AD 600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in the world.

This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.

These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft.

These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible.

The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits.

This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International ,shield thought ,making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.

This long story still unfolds.

This is hacking on an industrial scale ,as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking.

This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itself, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science.

This doesn’t, however, make interpretation merely relative or even pointless.

The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts.

Most journals are weak in statistical review, and this damages the quality of what they publish.

It is this apparent transcendence of politics that explains monarchs’ continuing popularity polarized.

In effect, you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence, image or reference might have had: These might be the ones the author intended.
