W: But when I plugged it in it didn't work, and I did everything that you told me to do when I bought the DVD player this morning.
M: Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what the problem can be. Can you bring it back in and someone will have a look at it?
W: It's very difficult because I don't drive and I'll have to pay for a taxi. If I do bring it in, I'd sooner have a replacement rather than have to wait for someone to repair it.
M: I understand, Madam. Bring it back in and I'll make sure that's done for you.

W: Although they can still be found in the African jungle and around some coastal areas, they are becoming more and more rare.
M: But here, in captivity, you are trying hard to breed them, aren't you?
W: Yes, and we have had some success as three cubs were born here last month and they are doing well.
M: They must be a great visitor attraction.
W: They are, but we make sure visitors don't disturb them and they can only be seen from a distance as they are too young still. We don't want it to be like a circus show.

M: Well, there is no one free at the moment as everyone is busy until tomorrow.

W: I'm sorry to bother you with my problems but you are so much more experienced than me. They probably just think they are having fun but they behave like wild animals sometimes and I feel like crying with frustration at times.
M: You mustn't take it personally, they are a bad class, everyone struggles with them. The headmaster is always telling one or other of that class off. I keep them all behind after lessons when they get too wild. That quietens them down for a while.

M: Good morning Madam, I'd like to tell you about a wonderful offer we have today. It's actually a whole series which will teach you how to eat more healthily and is particularly aimed at heart disease prevention which is something most people need to be aware of as they reach middle age.
W: Well I'm not really interested in buying anything today, thank you.

W: Oh, I hadn't noticed. Sorry, you aren't going to fine me are you? It was a mistake, and this is my stop coming up outside the bank.

M: I've been doing this for over thirty years now and I've certainly travelled around a bit and seen some places. I know this city like the back of my hand.
W: What do you think the most rewarding thing about your job is? Is it the money?
M: You must be joking and it's certainly not the cafe food I have all the time. Despite the unsociable hours, it's a fun job because I never know who I'm going to pick up and start chatting to.
W: How will you spend your retirement, working in the garden like most people seem to?

M: Yes, and it has a nice view over the lovely garden. Now I'm very happy for you to have friends staying but the neighbors are quite old so we ask people not to play music late at night and wild parties aren't allowed.
W: Oh don't worry, I am taking my final exams this year so there won't be many late nights or parties. The rent is reasonable but I'm a bit worried about the bus service to the university. I haven't seen a bus stop nearby.
M: It's about a twenty-minute walk to the bus stop I'm afraid.
W: Oh that's a shame. I'm afraid it won't be suitable for me then.

Early people had no need for engineering works to supply their water. They camped near natural resources and populations were so small that pollution of the water supply did not pose a problem. But as civilized societies developed and settlements grew into big cities, water management became a major concern, not only to supply the urban areas but to irrigate the farms surrounding them. The solution was to find a way to raise water up from the rivers.

Many people travel from this country in search of the sun. The sun should be enjoyed, but overexposure can cause sunburn, leading to premature skin aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. Take care not to burn. It is particularly important to care for your children, and babies should not be placed in direct sunlight at all. Stay out of the sun for at least two hours around midday, use what shade there is at other times, and cover up with a hat and loose clothing. Protective creams suitable for your skin type can help to protect exposed parts of the body. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.

We've been very happy here but it's just too big for us now that the children have left home. We've decided to move close to the sea so the money from this should buy us a nice cottage. The bedrooms have fitted cupboards and lovely wooden floors. Your fuel bills will be cheap thanks to the solar panels in the roof. You can see the garden from here.

Starting after the news at seven o'clock this evening, this beautifully written story will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happens next.

We all know we should be doing more exercise and most of us want to, but somehow, life has a habit of spoiling our good intentions. Let's face it, there's always a reason not to start - too tired, too busy, too much work. But in our campaign we have found ten volunteers who have embarked on a walking program in a bid to improve their health and lose some weight. An expert has designed a walking plan to get everyone moving and we are inviting all of you and your partners, friends and children to join us. As an added incentive, each of our walkers is raising money for their favorite charity which you can do, too.

Part of the excitement and fear of any holiday is the moment when you discover how much the reality matches the dream. Our hopes were high as we carefully drove along the narrow lanes to our villa. We were all relieved to see that our villa was big and beautiful and very stylish. It had been years since we'd last been to Majorca and we were worried that it would be full of thousands of drunk tourists. The opposite was true though, as it has developed as a resort but now offers music and art festivals and attracts people who want to have a lovely time mixing with the locals in peaceful surroundings

Many people were lucky to escape with their lives today when a leaking gas pipe exploded in a major art gallery. The fire that followed destroyed the gallery and many cars parked outside it. Hundreds of irreplaceable works of art were destroyed. A spokesman from the fire brigade said that the building is unsafe and will have to be demolished but it was a miracle that no one died in the incident. He said it looked like the scene of a bomb attack. Sadly, the building had recently been restored and there are no funds left to rebuild the gallery.

At the Zoo
A man was delivering penguins to the zoo when his van broke __(1)__ on the highway. A fellow stopped to see if he could be of assistance. "Oh, I'm in some real trouble here," said the first man "l've got to take these penguins to the zoo today, and now I'm not sure I'll get there."
The helpful fellow volunteered to put the penguins in the back of his car and take them to the zoo. The man with car trouble gratefully __(2)__ this offer and promised to get to the zoo as soon as possible. A little later, the man was on the road again and went immediately to the zoo. He looked everywhere but did not see the helpful fellow or any of the penguins. In a panic, he drove back into town. Just as he was wondering what in the world to do next, he saw the "volunteer" walking across the street with all the penguins wadding along behind him.
He ran up and said, "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to take the penguins to the zoo" and the volunteer replied, "I did, and we had such a good time there; we decided to come into town for ice cream."
Moral: When __(3)__ with volunteers, clear instructions a rd good training is always necessary.

Ever since the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859, evolution has been a source of controversy. In general controversy has __(1)__ on the philosophical, social, and religious implications of evolution, not on the science of evolution itself, the proposition that biological evolution occurs through the mechanism of natural selection is completely uncontested within the scientific community.
As Darwin recognized early __(2)__ , perhaps the most controversial aspect of evolutionary thought is its applicablity to human beings. Specifically, many object to the idea that all diversity in life, including human beings, arose through natural processes without a need for supernatural intervention. Although many religions, such as Catholicism, have reconciled their beliefs with evolution through theistic evolution, creationists object to evolution on the basis that it contradicts their theistic origin beliefs.
In some countries - notably the United States - these tensions between scientific and religious teachings have fueled the ongoing creation-evolution controversy, a social and religious conflict especially focusing on politics and public education. __(3)__ other fields of science, such as cosmology and earth science, also conflict with literal interpretations of many religious texts, evolutionary biology has borne the brunt of these debates

An important __(1)__ in understanding the supply and demand theory is elasticity. In this context, it refers to how supply and demand change in response to various stimuli
One way of defining elasticity is the percentage change in one variable divided by the percentage change in another variable (known as arch elasticity because it calculates the elasticity over a range of values, in contrast __(2)__ point elasticity that uses differential calculus to determine the elasticity at a specific point). Thus it is a measure of relative changes.
Often, it is useful to Into how the quantity supplied or demanded will change when the price changes. This is known as the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. If a monopolist decides to increase the price of their product, how will this affect their sales revenue? Will the increased unit price offset the __(3)__ decrease in sales volume?,

Although human migration has existed throughout human history, immigration in the modern __(1)__ refers to movement of people from one nation-state to another. Immigration implies long-term permanent residence (and often, eventual citizenship) by the immigrants: tourists and short-term visitors are not considered immigrants.
However, seasonal labor migration (typically for periods of less than a year) is often __(2)__ os a form of immigration. The global volume of immigration is high in absolute terms, but low in relative terms. The UN estimated 190 million international migrants in 2005, about 3% of global population. The other 97% still live in the state in which they were born, or its successor state
The modern idea of immigration is related to the development of nation-states and nationality law. Citizenship of a nation-state confers an inalienable right of residence in that state, but residence of immigrants is subject to conditions net by immigration law. The nation-state made immigration a political issue: __(3)__ definition it is the homeland of a nation defined by shared ethnicity and/or culture, and in most cases immigrants have a different ethnicity and culture. This has led to social tensions, xenophobia, and conflicts about national identity, in many developed countries

I was surfing around online and found this review of The Seaside Inn and remembered you saying that this is where you were planning on staying.

| HOTEL REVIEWS I visited this hotel in January for one week, lust to take a break from my studies. I believe it to be one of the worst hotels out there. I know that I am not alone in my opinion of this hotet, I overheard at least four other guests complaining to the representative at the same time I was. I do not know how it can get away with being called a 5-star hotel. There was no variety in the menu, and we had no other options for food as all the nearby restaurants were closed. This is also true of the movie theaters and bars. The bars that were over only had a very limited selection of drinks and no entertainment. There were shops on site - but they were never open. The room was freezing and when I informed the hotel that the heating was not working they kindy offered me a blanket to keep me warm. This was my second visit to the area. The first time, I stayed at the Rossetta, which is only a 3-star hotel, but the accommodation was a thousand times better. |

Choose a Mac
Your toaster doesn't crash. Your kitchen sink doesn't crash. Why should your computer? Think of the countless hours you would save if your PC worked on your time - not the other way around. Then think about a Mac.
Just ask the millions of people who use and love a Mac, why it's become such an integral part of their lives, and most will tell you the some thing: It just works. Letting them do what they want to do. When they want to do it. All the time.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 12th Annual Kick Butts Day on March 28. Youth across America stood out, spoke up and seized control in the fight against smoking and tobacco.
This year's Kick Butts Day focused on raising awareness about the more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke, including at least 69 that cause cancer and many more that are hazardous to health. You can find out more about the dangerous chemicals in cigarettes and what you can do to support effective action to regulate tobacco products at www.whatareyousmoking.org.
KBD events sent a powerful message to elected officials at all levels to step up the fight to reduce tobacco use.
Kick Butts Day may be over, but the fight against tobacco goes on every day across America. The Kick Butts Day Guide includes great idears for events that can be held throughout the year to support action to reduce tobacco use. We hope you'll find the guide to be helpful.

| The Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent Centers is an innovative project that supports a unified technical assistance system for the purpose of developing, assisting and coordinating Parent Training and Information Projects and Community Parent Resource Centers under the Indviduals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs and consists of 1 national center and 6 regional centers. The project is funded to strengthen the connections to the larger technical assistance network and fortify partnerships between parent centers and state education systems at regional and national levels. Parent Training and Information Centers (PTIs) and Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRCs) in each state provide training and information to parents of infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities and to professionals who work with children. This assistance helps parents to participate more effectively with professionals in meeting the educational needs of children and youth with all disabilities. The Parent Centers work to improve educational outcomes for children and youth with all disabilities (emotional, learning, mental, and physical). The Alliance offers a variety of resources to further strengthen the Parent Centers' abilities to effectively serve the families in their communities whose children have disabilities. There are approximately 100 parent centers in the United States. Staff members in these centers, as well as at the Alliance office, are likely to he parents of children with disabilities or have disabilities themselves. The common experience with the families they serve results in uncommon commitment to improving outcomes and results for children with disabilities. |

I received my Ph.D. from MIT in 1966. I have heard this time described as the 'golden years', because of the many famous graduates. We were all good friends and there was considerable economic discussion amongst us. I believe that there was a rather smug notion that the major economic problems had been solved, especially in macroeconomics, and maybe also in microeconomics.
Macroeconomics was by the neoclassical synthesis, which explained the existence of unemployment by money wages that were slow to change in response to excess demand for labor. Thus wages might be above market clearing, so that some labor would be unemployed. That left the following question unanswered: what were the causes of economic growth? Two seminal papers in this field had been written by Robert Solow. Both of them showed that the previous view, that capital was a leading cause of economic growth, was likely to be false.
First, diminishing returns to capital would eventually limit the contribution of capital deepening to growth. Second, if capital and labor received their respective marginal products, then, empirically, them was a significant "residual' in the explanation of growth: capital could explain only as mall fraction of increases In U.S. productivity.
