A young woman sought explanation from a brain scientist when she noticed her unusual memory.

A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, finds that the best way to ensure employees are engaged is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.

The tests are designed to detect subtle changes in mental function, and involve solving puzzles, recalling words and details from stories, and identifying patterns in collections of letters and symbols.

The more recent steep climb in grain prices partly results from the fact that more and more people want to consume meat products.

Stop to seek advice from a human being.

Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior.

Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.

As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are.

Ancient philosophers saw life in a different light from people of today.

They try to stop their economy from going into free-fall.

They suspend import of necessities from overseas.

The wide majority of the rest were illegal, unforced entries that resulted from something like a window being left open.

That approach will eliminate most cord-cutting concerns—but what about their wireless equivalent, jamming? With the right device tuned to the right frequency, what's to stop a thief from jamming your setup and blocking that alert signal from ever reaching the base station?Jamming concerns are nothing new, and they're not unique to security systems.

Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable to eating disorders resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness.

One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now, so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy.

One of the main theoretical home-security concerns is whether or not a given system is vulnerable to being blocked from working altogether.

One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough: the service is better when waiters depend on tips, presumably because they see a benefit to successfully veiling their contempt for you.

The kind of shopping—where you hand over notes and count out change in return—now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop.

The criticism the author received from his mother changed him as a person.

Writing in the journal, the scientists describe how the storks from Germany were clearly affected by the presence of waste sites, with four out of six birds that survived for at least five months overwintering on rubbish dumps in northern Morocco, instead of migrating to the Sahel.

While alternative estimates of the damage from carbon emissions differ, and it's especially hard to reckon the likely costs of possible catastrophic climate events, most estimates suggest substantial negative effects.

We live today indebted to McCardell, Cashin, Hawes, Wilkins, and Maxwell, and other women who liberated American fashion from the confines of Parisian design.

Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository , and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from, say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some 500 million objects—but these remain the exception, not the rule.

Researchers in Germany used miniature GPS tags to track the migrations of 70 white storks from different sites across Europe and Asia during the first five months of their lives.

Nations from around the world have gathered in Paris for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP 21, with the goal of a universal and potentially legally-binding agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents.

Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report that scientists need to shift away from a research culture where data is viewed as a private preserve.

In the short-term, the birds seem to benefit from overwintering on rubbish dumps.

In order to maximize global welfare, every country's carbon pricing should reflect not only the purely domestic damage from emissions, but also the damage to foreign countries.

In an email statement from the state's Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining the possibility of outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R.

In England, where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit, noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative ruins of Rome to their own country houses and gardens.

For example, the United Arab Emirates has endorsed an ambitious target to draw 24% of its primary energy consumption from renewable sources by 2021.

Contestants of elite high school math competitions are mostly Asian and white students from well-off families.

Coal prices also are low, owing to over-supply and the scaling-down of demand, especially from China, which burns half of the world's coal.

Co-author Amy Zanne thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass, to foresters looking for information on different grades of timber.

Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms.

But will such contests, which are overwhelmingly dominated by Asian and white students from middle-class and affluent families become any more diverse? Many social and cultural factors play roles in determining which promising students get on the path toward international math recognition.

About 250 students so far have gone through the program, which receives funding from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.

A shift of emphasis from beauty to utility.

With a tax imposed on expensive health insurance plans, most employers will likely transfer money from health expenses into wages.

Those dangers can be addressed with farmer and consumer education, he said, while the free water and nutrients from human waste can help urban farmers in developing countries to escape poverty.

The roots of his speech, given in March at the roundtable meeting of environment and energy ministers from the G20 group of nations, stretch back to 1972, and the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm.

The protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world, read the final declaration from this gathering, the first of a sequence which would lead to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 and the World Development Summit in Johannesburg three years ago.

The bills in both chambers would create health insurance exchanges on which small businesses and individuals could choose from an array of private plans and possibly a public option.

Missing from these bills is any serious attempt to rein in malpractice costs.

Measuring emissions is not a precise science, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding land use; not all nations have released up-to-date data, and in any case, emissions from some sectors such as aviation are not included in national statistics.

Many of its central features are no different from those of the 1920s.

Many even think their parents are cool! Although more than a third have an object in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, rarely is it anything more alarming than a diary or offcolor book or CD.

It underestimates students' ability to tell good teachers from poor ones.

Any doctor who has wrestled with multiple forms from different insurers, or patients who have tried to understand their own parade of statements, know that simplification ought to save money.

And the head-to-head competition might give them a strong incentive to lower their prices, perhaps by accepting slimmer profit margins or demanding better deals from providers.

And the World Resources Institute in its World Resources 2005 report, issued at the end of August, produced several such examples from Africa and Asia; it also demonstrated that environmental degradation affects the poor more than the rich, as poorer people derive a much higher proportion of their income directly from the natural resources around them.

America's education system has become less a ladder of opportunity than a structure to transmit inequality from one generation to the next.

They suffer from depression without showing any symptoms.

They refrain from using politically sensitive terms.

They are free from the greenhouse effects affecting forced riders.

There's a lot for students to complain about: the repayment threshold for paying back loans will be frozen for five years, meaning that lower-paid graduates have to start repaying their loans; and maintenance grants have been replaced by loans, meaning that students from poorer backgrounds face higher debt than those with wealthier parents.

There is strong opposition from veteran nicotine addicts.

There is no final agreement on where it will come from.

The theory is that smoking should be stripped of any appeal to discourage new generations from starting in the first place.

The practice of clocking in for an eight-hour workday is a leftover from the days of the Industrial Revolution, as reflected in the then-popular saying, Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest.

The old days of the Antarctic being dominated by the interests and wishes of white men from European, Australasian and North American states are over, said Klaus Dodds, a politics scholar at the University of London who specialises in Antarctica.

More than a century has passed since explorers raced to plant their flags at the bottom of the world, and for decades to come this continent is supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve, shielded from intrusions like military activities and mining.

Many top firms will not even look at applications from those who lack a 2.1

In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.

In America today, even teenagers suffer from stress, and their problem is even more serious than grown-ups'.

In addition to many senior officials from the Federal Trade and Federal Communications commissions, this year's list of policy makers also includes appearances from Transportation Curran, the Accenture analyst, said that increased government interest in the show makes sense as technology becomes a larger part of our lives.

In a competitive work environment, employers are able to use technology to demand more from their employees rather than motivating workers with flexibility that benefits them.

If employees respond quickly to their job assignments, the employer is likely to demand more from them.

Graduates from elite universities usually can get decent jobs.
