24. Utopia / Utopia #8316 frozen
Many Utopias have been dreamed up through the ages. From Plato's Republic to Thomas
More's Utopia and beyond, serious thinkers have 1 societies where people live in
peace and harmony. Most of these imaginary worlds have things in common: everybody is
equal and plays a part in the running of the society; nobody goes without the essentials of
life; people live mostly off the land; often there is no money, and so on. Another thing they
have in 2 is that, to the average person, they appear distasteful or unworkable since
they do not take into account ordinary human nature or feelings. Architects have got in on
the act, too. After the Great Fire of London, Christopher Wren drew up plans for a
reconstruction of the whole city, including 3 street widths. And in the 20th century
there was Le Corbusier's Radiant City in which, if you weren't in a car or didn't have one, life
would have been a nightmare. Also in the 20th century; another famous architect, Frank
Lloyd Wright, 4 up a perfect city that got no further than the drawing-board. Wright
believed that what was wrong with modern cities was, in his words, rent. Ideas, land, even
money itself, had to be paid for. He saw this as a form of slavery and believed that modern
city dwellers had no sense of themselves as productive individuals. Thus, Wright's city was
to be made up of numerous individual homesteads, and the houses themselves were to be
simple, functional and in 5 with the environment. Everyone would own enough land to
grow food for himself and his family. No outsiders would be allowed to come between the
citizen and what he produced, or to exploit both for money. Goods and services would all be
6 , not bought and sold for profit.

44. Supply and demand / Supply and demand #7970 hot
The supply of a thing, in the phrase " supply and demand, " is the amount that will be offered
for sale at each of a series of prices; the demand is the amount that will be bought at each of
a series of prices. The principle that value depends on supply and demand means that in the
case of nearly every commodity, more will be bought if the price is lowered, less will be
bought if the price is 1 . Therefore sellers, if they wish to induce buyers to take more
of a commodity than they are already doing, must reduce its price; if they raise its price, they
will sell less. If there is a general falling off if in demand, due, say, to trade depression, sellers
will either have to 2 prices or put less on the 3 ; they will not be able to sell the
same 4 at the same price. Similarly with supply. At a certain price a certain amount
will be offered for sale, at a higher price more will be offered, at a lower price less. If
consumers want more, they must offer a higher price; if they want less, they will probably be
able to force prices down. That is the first result of a change in demand or supply.

According to archaeological evidence, at least 5, 000 years ago, and long before the
1 of the Roman Empire, the Babylonians began to measure time, introducing
calendars to co-ordinate communal activities, to plan the 2 of goods and, in
particular, to regulate planting and harvesting. They based their 3 on three natural
cycles: the solar day, marked by the successive periods of light and darkness as the earth
rotates on its axis; the lunar month, following the phases of the moon as it orbits the earth;
and the solar year, defined by the changing seasons that accompany our planet's revolution
around the sun.

47. City cleaner / City cleaner #7955 frozen
Rather than 1 at the next beetle or wasp in your way, you might want to thank them
for helping to keep city streets clean. Researchers from North Carolina State University
working in New York City found that hungry urban arthropods play a significant role in the
disposal of trash. For example, in a small section of Manhattan called the Broadway West
Street corridor, insects consume the equivalent of 60, 000 hot dogs a year that would
otherwise be lying in the street. And that's 2 the bugs stop chowing down in winter.
To assess how much 3 food bugs got rid of, the researchers placed 4
amounts of hot dogs, potato chips and cookies at 21 park sites and 24 street medians.
Contrary to their prediction, location played an even bigger role in garbage 5 than
biodiversity did, insects gobbled up two to three times more food in the street medians than
they did in the parks. The study appears in the journal Global Change Biology. If all that
garbage disposal still does not make you an arthropod admirer, then consider this: by
competing with larger pests for resources, insects help keep rat populations down. There's
some food for 6 .

Don't allow yourself to slip into self-defeating habits, such as procrastinating. Try to keep a

convention bids are often won five years before the event is held. For the very 3
bidding process, budgets need to be developed and prices quoted, requiring a good
understanding of market, economic and political trends, as well as consumer choices. This
long-term view is the basis of strategic management, which is covered in Part 1, and focuses

Marketing is a critical 4 factor and other important topics of this first section, many

building is particularly challenging since there are so many stakeholders involved in events,
including government agencies at many levels. Part 1 will look at all these aspects, including

attractiveness boosted interest but decreased perceived quality. Next, we had members of

when selecting video-based communications. Finally, we had people read real science news
items and found that the research was judged to be of higher quality when paired with
researchers who look like " good scientists. " Our findings offer insights into the social

Assessments of language learning in 18-month-olds suggest that children are better at

such as' train' and' good night', have given rise to versions with repeated syllables, such as
choo-choo and night-night. The researchers say such words are easier for infants to learn,
and may provide them 2 a starter point for vocabulary learning
A team from the University of Edinburgh assessed the infants' language learning behaviour in
a series of 3 and attention tests using pictures on a computer screen of two
unfamiliar objects. The two objects were named with made-up words which were 4 to
the infants by a recorded voice - one with two identical syllables, for example neenee, and
the other without repeated syllables, such as bolay
The infants were then tested for their 5 of 6 made-up word. Recordings of
their eye movements showed they looked more reliably at the object labeled with repeated
syllables, than the other object
Researchers validated their results with a control test, in which the infants responded to
pictures of familiar objects, such as a dog or an apple.

showing off their make-up, clothes, lips, etc. Pics about looks were two times more popular
than the other 14 categories combined
3 appearances, social selfies with friends, loved ones, and pets were the most
common, 14 percent. Then came ethnicity pics, 13 percent, travel, 7 percent, and health and
fitness, 5 percent
The researchers 4 that the prevalence of ethnicity selfies, selfies about a person's
ethnicity, nationality or country of origin, is an indication that people are proud of their
backgrounds. They also found that most selfies are solo pictures, rather than taken with a
group
The data was gathered in the summer of 2015. The research team believes the study is the
first large-scale empirical research on selfies. 5 , an overwhelming 57 percent of
selfies on Instagram were posted by the 18 to 35 year-old crowd, something the researchers
say isn't too surprising 6 the demographics of the social media platform. The under-
18 age group posted about 30 percent of selfies
The older crowd, 35 plus, shared them far less frequently, 13 percent . Appearance was most
popular among all age groups
Lead author Julia Deeb Swihart says selfies are an identity performance, meaning that users
carefully craft the way they appear online and that selfies are an extension of that. This
evokes William Shakespeare's famous line: " All the world's a stage, and all the men and
women merely players. "

Snails are not traditionally known for quick thinking, but new research shows they can make

more efficient robots. Scientists at the University of Sussex attached electrodes to the
2 of freshwater snails as they searched for lettuce. They found that just one cell was
used by the mollusc to tell if it was 3 or not, while another let it know when food was
present. Food searching is an example of goal-directed behaviour, during which an animal
must integrate information about both its external environment and internal state while using
as little 4 as possible. Lead researcher Professor George Kemenes, said: " This will
eventually help us design the' brain' of robots based on the principle of using the fewest
possible components necessary to 5 complex tasks. " What goes on in our brains
when we make complex behavioural decisions and carry them out is poorly understood. "
Our study reveals for the first time how just two neurons can create a mechanism in an
animals brain which drives and optimises complex decision-making tasks.

Plants serve as the conduit of energy into the biosphere, provide food and materials used by
humans, and they 1 our environment. According to Ehrhardt and Frommer, the three
major challenges facing humanity in our time are food, energy, and environmental 2 .
All three are plant related
All of our food is produced by plants, either directly or indirectly via animals that eat them.
Plants are a 3 of energy production. And they are intimately involved in climate
change and a major factor in a variety of environmental concerns, including agricultural
expansion and its impact on habitat destruction and waterway pollution
What's more, none of these issues is independent of each other. Climate change places
additional stresses on the food supply and on various habitats. So, plant research is
instrumental in addressing all of these problems and moving into the future. For plant
research to move significantly forward, Ehrhardt and Former say technological development
is critical, both to test existing hypotheses and to gain new information and generate fresh
hypotheses. If we are to make headway in understanding how these essential organisms
function and build the foundation for a sustainable future, then we need to apply the most
advanced technologies available to the study of plant life, they say.

Most important of all is the fact that for each new ballet-pantomime created at the Paris
Opera during the July Monarchy, a new score was produced. The reason for this is simple:
these ballet-pantomimes told stories - elaborate ones - and music was considered an
indispensable tool in getting them across to the audience. 1 , music had to be newly
created to fit each story
Music tailor-made for each new ballet-pantomime, however, was only one weapon in the
Opera's explanatory arsenal. 2 was the ballet-pantomime libretto, a printed booklet

279. Fiction and life / Fiction and life #4865 frozen
The precise relationship between fiction and life has been debated extensively. Most modern
critics agree that, whatever its apparent factual content or verisimilitude, fiction is finally to be
regarded as a structured imitation of life and should not be confused with a literal 1 of
life itself. While fiction is a work of the imagination rather than 2 , it can also be based
closely on real events, sometimes experienced by the author. In a work of fiction, the author
is not the same as the narrator, the voice that tells the story. Authors maintain a distance
from their characters. Sometimes that distance is obvious for instance, if a male writer tells a
story from the point of view of a female character. Other times it is not so obvious, especially
if we know something of the author's life and there are clear connexions between the story
and the author s life. The writer of fiction is free to choose his or her subject matter and is
free to invent, select, and 3 fictional elements to 4 his or her purpose. The
elements of fiction are the different components that make up a work of fiction. All literature
explores a theme or significant truth expressed in various elements such as character, plot,
setting, point of view, style, and tone that are essential and specific to each work of fiction.
All of these elements bind a literary work into a consistent whole and give it unity.
Understanding these elements can help the reader gain insight about life, human motives,
and experience. Such insight is one of the principal 5 of an effective work of fiction;
when readers are 6 to perceive it, they develop a sense of literary judgement that is
capable of enriching their lives. The following sections describe elements that should be
considered in the 7 of fiction.

Discrimination against women has been alleged in hiring practises for many occupations, but

3 the identity of the candidate from the jury. Female musicians in the top five
symphony orchestras in the United States were less than 5 percent of all players in 1970 but
are 25 percent today. We ask whether women were more likely to be advanced and hired
with the use of blind' auditions. Using data from actual auditions in an individual fixed-effects
framework, we find that the screen 4 by 50 percent the probability a woman will be
advanced out of certain preliminary rounds. The screen also enhances, by severalfold, the
likelihood a female contestant will be the winner in the final round. Using data on orchestra
personnel, the switch to blind' auditions can explain between 30 percent and 55 percent of
the increase in the proportion female among new hires and between 25 percent and 46
percent of the increase in the percentage female in the orchestras since 1970.

290. Light pollution / Light pollution #4853 frozen
The widespread use of artificial light in modern societies means that light pollution is an
increasingly common feature of the environments humans inhabit. This type of pollution is
1 high in coastal regions of tropic and temperate zones, as these are areas of high
rates of human population growth and settlement. Light pollution is a threat for many species
that inhabit these locations, particularly those whose ecology or behaviour depends, in some
way, on natural cycles of light and dark. Artificial light is known to have detrimental effects on
the ecology of sea turtles, particularly at the hatchling stage when they emerge from nests on
natal beaches and head towards the sea. Under natural conditions, turtles hatch
predominantly at night, although some early morning and late afternoon emergences occur,
and show an innate and well-directed orientation to the water, 2 mostly on light cues
that attract them toward the brighter horizon above the sea surface. Artificial lighting on
beaches is strongly attractive to hatchlings and can cause them to move away from the sea
and 3 with their ability to orient in a constant direction. Ultimately, this disorientation
due to light pollution can lead to death of hatchlings from exhaustion, dehydration and
predation.

But where did music, at its core, first come from? It's a puzzling question that may not have
a definitive answer. One 3 researcher, however, has proposed that the key to
understanding the origin of music is nestled snugly in the loving bond between mother and
child
In a lecture at the University of Melbourne, Richard Parncutt, an Australian-born professor of
systematic musicology, endorsed the idea that music originally spawned from' motherese' -
the playful voices mothers 4 when speaking to infants and toddlers
As the theory goes, increased human brain sizes caused by evolutionary changes occurring
between one and 2 million years ago resulted in earlier births, more fragile infants and a
5 need for stronger relationships between mothers and their newborn babies
According to Parncutt, who is based at the University of Graz in Austria,' motherese' arose
as a way to strengthen this maternal bond and to help 6 an infant's survival.

328. Job Quality / Job Quality #2485 hot
" Sustainable job growth " is a motto for many governments, especially in the aftermath of a
recession. The problem of' job quality' is less often addressed and may be seen as 1
job growth. The sentiment' any job is better than no job' may resonate with governments as
well as people, especially in the context of high unemployment. However, if the 2
between improving the quality of 3 jobs and creating new jobs becomes greatly
imbalanced towards the latter, this could increase work stress among 4 and future
workers, which in turn has health, economic and social costs. A recent British Academy
Policy Center Report on Stress at Work highlights these 5 , and describes the context,
determinants and consequences of work-related stress in Britain.

329. Retirement / Retirement #2467 hot
For a start, we need to change our 1 of' retirement', and we need to change mindsets
arising from earlier government policy which, in the face of high unemployment levels,
encouraged mature workers to take early retirement. Today, government encourages them to
2 their retirement
We now need to think of retirement as a phased process, where mature age workers
3 reduce their hours, and where they have considerable flexibility in how they

combine their work and non work time

We also need to recognise the broader change that is occurring in how people work, learn,
and live. Increasingly we are moving away from a linear relationship between education,
training, work, and retirement, as people move in and out of jobs, careers, caregiving, study,
and leisure. Employers of choice remove the barriers between the different segments of
people's lives, by creating flexible conditions of work and a range of leave entitlements. They
take an individualised approach to workforce planning and development so that the needs of
employers and employees can be met 4 . This approach supports the different
transitions that occur across the life course, for example, school to work, becoming a parent,
becoming responsible for the care of older relatives, and moving from work to retirement.

Roads of rails called Wagonways were being used in Germany as 1 as 1550. These
2 railed roads consisted of wooden rails over which horse-drawn waggon or carts
moved with greater ease than over dirt roads. Wagonways were the beginnings of modern
railroads
3 1776, iron had replaced the wood in the rails and wheels on the carts. Wagonways
evolved into Tramways and spread throughout Europe. Horses still provided all the pulling
power. In 1789, an English man, William Jessup designed the first waggon with 4
wheels. The flange was a groove that allowed the wheels to grip the rail better; this was an
important design that carried over to later locomotives.

338. No parents / No parents #1793 hot
For many first-year students, the University may be their first experience living away from
home for an 1 period. It is a 2 break from home. In my point of view, this is the
best thing that you can do. I know you have to fend for yourself, cook and clean after
yourself, basically look after yourself without your parents but the truth is some time in your
life you are going to have to part with lovely Mummy and Daddy. But they are only just a
phone call away, and it is really good to have some QUALITY TIME without them. The first
few weeks can be a 3 period. There may be concerns about forming the friendship.
When new students look around, it may seem that everyone else is self-confident and
4 successful! The reality is that everyone has the same concerns
Increased personal freedom can feel both wonderful and 5 . Students can come and
go as they choose with no one to hassle them. The strange environment with new kinds of
procedures and new people can create the sense of being on an emotional roller coaster.
This is normal and to be expected. You meet so many more people in the halls than if you
stayed at home. The main points about living away from home are NO PARENTS! You don't
have to tell them where you're going, who you're going with, what time you'll be coming, why
you're going etc
You learn various social skills you have to get along with your roommates Living with them
can present special, sometimes intense, problems. Negotiating respect of personal property,
personal space, sleep, and relaxation needs, can be a complex task. The complexity
increases when roommates are of different 6 with very different values. It is unrealistic
to expect that roommates will be best friends. Meaningful, new relationships should not be
expected to develop overnight. It took a great deal of time to develop intimacy in high school
friendships the same will be true of intimacy in university friendships
You have a phone! So if you ever get homesick or miss you, Mummy, then shes always at the
end of a phone-line for you and so are your friends.

344. Loosestrife / Loosestrife #1758 cold
The invasion of non-indigenous plants is considered a primary threat to integrity and function
of ecosystems. However, there is little quantitative or 1 evidence for ecosystem
impacts of invasive species. Justifications for control are often based on potential, but not
presently realised, recognised or quantified, negative impacts. Should lack of scientific
certainty about impacts of non-indigenous species result in postponing measures to prevent
degradation? Recently, management of purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria, has been
criticised for lack of evidence demonstrating negative impacts of L.Salicaria, and
management using biocontrol for lack of evidence documenting the failure of conventional
control methods. Although little quantitative evidence on negative impacts on native wetland
biota and wetland function was available at the onset of the control programme in 1985,
recent work has demonstrated that the invasion of purple loosestrife into North American
freshwater wetlands alters 2 rates and nutrient cycling, leads to reductions in wetland

plant diversity, reduces pollination and seed output of the native Lythrum alatum, and
reduces habitat 3 for specialised wetland bird species such as black terns, least
bitterns, pied-billed grebes, and marsh wrens. Conventional methods, physical, mechanical
or chemical have continuously failed to 4 the spread of purple loosestrife or to
provide satisfactory control. Although a number of generalist insect and bird species utilise
purple loosestrife, wetland habitat specialists are excluded by the 5 of L.salicaria. We
conclude that negative ecosystem impacts of purple loosestrife in North America justify
control of the species and that detrimental effects of purple loosestrife on wetland systems
and biota and the potential benefits of control outweigh potential risks associated with the
introduction of biocontrol agents. Long-term experiments and monitoring programmes that
are in place will evaluate the impact of these insects on purple loosestrife, on wetland plant
succession and other wetland biotas.

366. Blood Flow / Blood Flow #656 warm
All approaches aim into increase 1 flow to areas of tension and to release painful
2 known as " trigger points. " Trigger points are tense areas of muscle that are
almost constantly contracting, " says Kippen. " The contraction causes pain, which in turn
causes contraction, so you have a vicious circle. This is what deep tissue massage aims to
break. " The way to do this, as I found out under Ogedengbe's elbow, is to apply pressure
3 the point, stopping the blood flow, and then to release, which causes the brain to
flood the affected 4 5 blood, encouraging the muscle to relax. At the same
time, says Kippen, you can fool the tensed muscle into relaxing by applying pressure to a
complementary one nearby. " If you cause any muscle to contract, its opposite will expand.
So you try to trick the body 6 relaxing the muscle that is in spasm. "

370. Lewis / Lewis #642 cold
C.S. Lewis, or Jack Lewis, as he preferred to be called, was born in Belfast, Ireland, now
Northern Ireland, on November 29, 1898. He was the second son of Albert Lewis, a lawyer,
and Flora Hamilton Lewis. His older brother, Warren Hamilton Lewis, who was known as
Warnie, had been born three years 1 in 1895
Lewis's early childhood was relatively happy and carefree. In those days Northern Ireland
was not yet 2 by bitter civil strife, and the Lewis's were comfortably off. The family
home, called Little Lea. was a large, gabled house with dark, narrow passages and an
overgrown garden, which Warnie and Jack played in and 3 together There was also a
library that was crammed with books - two of Jack's favourites were Treasure Island by
Robert Louis Stevenson and The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
This somewhat idyllic boyhood came to an end for Lewis when his mother became ill and
died of cancer in 1908. Barely a month after her death the two boys were sent away from
home to go to boarding school in England
Lewis hated the school with its strict rules and hard 4 headmaster, and he missed
Belfast terribly. Fortunately for him, the school closed in 1910, and he was able to return to
Ireland. After a year, however, he was sent back to England to study this time, the 5
proved to be mostly positive. As a teenager, Lewis learned to love poetry, especially the
works of Virgil and Homer. He also developed an interest in modern languages, mastering
French, German, and Italian.

374. Gas drilling / Gas drilling #636 hot
Gas drilling on the Indonesian island of Java has 1 a " mud volcano " that has killed
13 people and may render four square miles, ten square kilometres, of countryside
uninhabitable for years. In a report released on January 23, a team of British researchers
says the deadly upwelling began when an exploratory gas well punched through a layer of

rock 9,300 feet, 2,800 metres, below the surface, 2 hot, high-pressure water to
3 . The water 4 mud to the surface, where it has 5 across a region 2.5
miles, 4 kilometres, in 6 in the eight months since the eruption began. The mud
volcano is similar to a gusher or blowout, which occur in oil drilling when oil or gas squirt to
the surface, the team says. This upwelling, however, spews out a volume of mud equivalent
to a dozen Olympic swimming pools each day. Although the eruption isn't as violent as a
7 volcano, more than a dozen people died when a natural gas pipeline ruptured. The
research team, who published their findings in the February issue of GSA Today, also
estimates that the volcano, called Lusi, will leave more than 11,000 people permanently
displaced.

376. DNA Barcoding / DNA Barcoding #628 warm
DNA barcoding was invented by Paul Hebert of the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada,
in 2003. His idea was to 1 a unique identification tag for each species based on a
short stretch of DNA. Separating species would then be a simple task of sequencing this tiny
bit of DNA. Dr. Hebert proposed part of a gene called cytochrome oxidase I, COI, as suitable
to the task. All animals have it. It seems to vary enough, but not too much, to act as a reliable
marker, and it is easily 2 , because it is one of a handful of genes found outside the
cell nucleus, in structures called mitochondria. The idea worked, and it has dramatically
reduced the time, to less than an hour, and expense, to less than 2, of using DNA to identify
species. And thus, in July this year, Dr. Victor's mystery goby became Coryphopterus Kuna.

It was the first vertebrate to have its DNA barcode, a sequence of about 600 genetic " letters
", included in its official description. Barcoding has taken off rapidly since Dr. Hebert invented
it. When the idea was proposed, it was expected to be a 3 to taxonomists trying to
name the world's millions of species. It has, however, proved to have a far wider range of
uses than the merely academic, most promisingly in the realm of public health. One health-
related project is the Mosquito Barcoding Initiative being run by Yvonne Marie Linton of the
Natural History Museum in London. This aims to barcode 80 percent of the world's
mosquitoes within the next two years, to help control mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquitoes
are 4 for half a billion malarial infections and 1m deaths every year. They also
5 devastating diseases such as yellow fever, West Nile fever, and dengue. However,
efforts to control them are consistently 6 by the difficulty and expense of identifying
mosquitoes, of which there are at least 3,500 species, many of them hard to tell apart.
