Was that it? Had he followed form\u2014had he asked his mother to speak to his father to approach a go-between\u2014would Chie have been more receptive?<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He came on a winter\u2019s eve. He pounded on the door while a cold rain beat on the shuttered veranda, so at first Chie thought him only the wind. The maid knew better. Chie heard her soft scuttling footsteps, the creak of the door. Then the maid brought a calling card to the drawing room, for Chie.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chie was reluctant to go to her guest; perhaps she was feeling too cozy. She and Naomi were reading at a low table set atop a charcoal brazier. A thick quilt spread over the sides of the table so their legs were tucked inside with the heat.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWho is it at this hour, in this weather?\u201d Chie questioned as she picked the name card off the maid\u2019s lacquer tray.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShinoda, Akira. Kobe Dental College,\u201d she read.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naomi recognized the name. Chie heard a soft intake of air.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think you should go,\u201d said Naomi.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akira was waiting in the entry. He was in his early twenties, slim and serious, wearing the black military-style uniform of a student. As he bowed\u2014his hands hanging straight down, a black cap in one, a yellow oil-paper umbrella in the other\u2014Chie glanced beyond him. In the glistening surface of the courtyard\u2019s rain-drenched paving stones, she saw his reflection like a dark double.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMadame,\u201d said Akira, \u201cforgive my disruption, but I come with a matter of urgency.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His voice was soft, refined. He straightened and stole a deferential peek at her face.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the dim light his eyes shone with sincerity. Chie felt herself starting to like him.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCome inside, get out of this nasty night. Surely your business can wait for a moment or two.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to trouble you. Normally I would approach you more properly but I\u2019ve received word of a position. I\u2019ve an opportunity to go to America, as dentist for Seattle\u2019s Japanese community.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCongratulations,\u201d Chie said with amusement. \u201cThat is an opportunity, I\u2019m sure. But how am I involved?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even noting Naomi\u2019s breathless reaction to the name card, Chie had no idea. Akira\u2019s message, delivered like a formal speech, filled her with maternal amusement. You know how children speak so earnestly, so hurriedly, so endearingly about things that have no importance in an adult\u2019s mind? That\u2019s how she viewed him, as a child.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was how she viewed Naomi. Even though Naomi was eighteen and training endlessly in the arts needed to make a good marriage, Chie had made no effort to find her a husband.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akira blushed.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDepending on your response, I may stay in Japan. I\u2019ve come to ask for Naomi\u2019s hand.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly Chie felt the dampness of the night.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDoes Naomi know anything of your&#8230; ambitions?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have an understanding. Please don\u2019t judge my candidacy by the unseemliness of this proposal. I ask directly because the use of a go-between takes much time. Either method comes down to the same thing: a matter of parental approval. If you give your consent, I become Naomi\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yoshi<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.* We\u2019ll live in the House of Fuji. Without your consent, I must go to America, to secure a new home for my bride.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eager to make his point, he\u2019d been looking her full in the face. Abruptly, his voice turned gentle.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI see I\u2019ve startled you. My humble apologies. I\u2019ll take no more of your evening. My address is on my card. If you don\u2019t wish to contact me, I\u2019ll reapproach you in two weeks\u2019 time. Until then, good night.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He bowed and left. Taking her ease, with effortless grace, like a cat making off with a fish.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMother?\u201d Chie heard Naomi\u2019s low voice and turned from the door. \u201cHe has asked you?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sight of Naomi\u2019s clear eyes, her dark brows gave Chie strength. Maybe his hopes were preposterous.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhere did you meet such a fellow? Imagine! He thinks he can marry the Fuji heir and take her to America all in the snap of his fingers!\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chie waited for Naomi\u2019s ripe laughter.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naomi was silent.

Last year, Americans spent over <\/span><b>$30 billion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at retail stores in the month of December alone. Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and baby showers. This frequent experience of gift-giving can engender <\/span><b>ambivalent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feelings in gift-givers. Many relish the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to <\/span><b>build stronger bonds with one\u2019s closest peers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At the same time, many dread the thought of buying gifts; they worry that their purchases will <\/span><b>disappoint rather than delight<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the intended recipients.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions. <\/span><b>Economists, however, offer a less favorable view.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> According to Waldfogel (1993), gift-giving represents an objective <\/span><b>waste of resources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as <\/span><b>\u201cthe deadweight loss of Christmas\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). To illustrate, givers are likely to spend <\/span><b>$100<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to purchase a gift that receivers would spend only <\/span><b>$80<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to buy themselves. This \u201cdeadweight loss\u201d suggests that <\/span><b>gift-givers are not very good at predicting what gifts others will appreciate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That in itself is <\/span><b>not surprising to social psychologists<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Research has found that people often struggle to take account of others\u2019 perspectives\u2014their insights are subject to <\/span><b>egocentrism, social projection, and multiple attribution errors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is surprising is that <\/span><b>gift-givers have considerable experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, yet they still tend to overspend each time they purchase a meaningful gift. In this research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this <\/span><b>overspending problem<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014that gift-givers equate how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift. <\/span><b>(The more expensive the gift, the stronger a gift-recipient\u2019s feelings of appreciation.)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Although a link between <\/span><b>gift price and feelings of appreciation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might seem intuitive to gift-givers, <\/span><b>this assumption may be unfounded<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Indeed, we propose that <\/span><b>gift-recipients will be less inclined to base their feelings of appreciation on the magnitude of a gift than givers assume<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do gift-givers assume that <\/span><b>gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients\u2019 feelings of appreciation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Perhaps givers believe that <\/span><b>bigger (i.e., more expensive) gifts convey stronger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. According to Camerer (1988) and others, <\/span><b>gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whereby gift-givers attempt to <\/span><b>signal their positive attitudes toward the intended recipient<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and their <\/span><b>willingness to invest resources in a future relationship<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this sense, gift-givers may be <\/span><b>motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a &#8220;stronger signal&#8221; to their intended recipient<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for gift-recipients, <\/span><b>they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The notion of <\/span><b>gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other party\u2019s perspective<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> seems puzzling because <\/span><b>people slip in and out of these roles every day<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014sometimes even multiple times in the same day. Yet, despite <\/span><b>extensive experience as both givers and receivers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, people still fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences <\/span><b>to make better decisions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The molecule is a very long chain, the backbone of which consists of a regular alternation of sugar and phosphate groups. To each sugar is attached a nitrogenous base, which can be of four different types. Two of the possible bases\u2014adenine and guanine\u2014are purines, and the other two\u2014thymine and cytosine\u2014are pyrimidines. So far as is known, the sequence of bases along the chain is irregular. The monomer unit, consisting of phosphate, sugar, and base, is known as a nucleotide.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first feature of our structure which is of biological interest is that it consists not of one chain, but of two. These two chains are both coiled around a common fiber axis. It has often been assumed that since there was only one chain in the chemical formula, there would only be one in the structural unit. However, the density, taken with the X-ray evidence, suggests very strongly that there are two.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other biologically important feature is the manner in which the two chains are held together. This is done by hydrogen bonds between the bases. The bases are joined together in pairs, a single base from one chain being hydrogen-bonded to a single base from the other. The important point is that only certain pairs of bases will fit into the structure. One member of a pair must be a purine and the other a pyrimidine in order to bridge between the two chains. If a pair consisted of two purines, for example, there would not be room for it.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We believe that the bases will be present almost entirely in their most probable forms. If this is true, the conditions for forming hydrogen bonds are more restrictive, and the only pairs of bases possible are: adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine. Adenine, for example, can occur on either chain; but when it does, its partner on the other chain must always be thymine.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The phosphate-sugar backbone of our model is completely regular, but any sequence of the pairs of bases can fit into the structure. It follows that in a long molecule, many different permutations are possible, and it therefore seems likely that the precise sequence of bases is the code which carries the genetical information. If the actual order of the bases on one of the pair of chains were given, one could write down the exact order of the bases on the other one because of the specific pairing. Thus, one chain is, as it were, the complement of the other, and it is this feature which suggests how the deoxyribonucleic acid molecule might duplicate itself.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-02197d3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"02197d3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-18575d8\" data-id=\"18575d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3dcef4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3dcef4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"882\" src=\"https:\/\/mp.moonpreneur.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sat-reading-and-writing-test-questions.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-83738\" alt=\"Sat Reading and Writing Test Questions\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2167669 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2167669\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2bbb5b\" data-id=\"e2bbb5b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c94dc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"9c94dc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1641\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1641\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">11.

The river flows beneath; barges pass, laden with timber, bursting with corn; there on one side are the domes and spires of the city; on the other, Westminster and the Houses of Parliament. It is a place to stand on by the hour, dreaming. But not now. Now we are pressed for time. Now we are here to consider facts; now we must fix our eyes upon the procession\u2014the procession of the sons of educated men.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There they go, our brothers who have been educated at public schools and universities, mounting those steps, passing in and out of those doors, ascending those pulpits, preaching, teaching, administering justice, practicing medicine, transacting business, making money. It is a solemn sight always\u2014a procession, like a caravanserai crossing a desert&#8230; But now, for the past twenty years or so, it is no longer a sight merely, a photograph, or fresco scrawled upon the walls of time, at which we can look with merely an aesthetic appreciation. For there, trapesing along at the tail end of the procession, we go ourselves. And that makes a difference.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We who have looked so long at the pageant in books, or from a curtained window watched educated men leaving the house at about nine-thirty to go to an office, returning to the house at about six-thirty from an office, need look passively no longer. We too can leave the house, can mount those steps, pass in and out of those doors, &#8230; make money, administer justice&#8230; We who now agitate these humble pens may in another century or two speak from a pulpit. Nobody will dare contradict us then; we shall be the mouthpieces of the divine spirit\u2014a solemn thought, is it not?<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who can say whether, as time goes on, we may not dress in military uniform, with gold lace on our breasts, swords at our sides, and something like the old family coal-scuttle on our heads, save that that venerable object was never decorated with plumes of white horsehair. You laugh\u2014indeed the shadow of the private house still makes those dresses look a little queer. We have worn private clothes so long&#8230; But we have not come here to laugh, or to talk of fashions\u2014men\u2019s and women\u2019s. We are here, on the bridge, to ask ourselves certain questions.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And they are very important questions; and we have very little time in which to answer them. The questions that we have to ask and to answer about that procession during this moment of transition are so important that they may well change the lives of all men and women forever.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For we have to ask ourselves, here and now, do we wish to join that procession, or don\u2019t we? On what terms shall we join that procession? Above all, where is it leading us, the procession of educated men? The moment is short; it may last five years; ten years, or perhaps only a matter of a few months longer&#8230; But, you will object, you have no time to think; you have your battles to fight, your rent to pay, your bazaars to organize.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That excuse shall not serve you, Madam. As you know from your own experience, and there are facts that prove it, the daughters of educated men have always done their thinking from hand to mouth; not under green lamps at study tables in the cloisters of secluded colleges. They have thought while they stirred the pot, while they rocked the cradle. It was thus that they won us the right to our brand-new sixpence.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It falls to us now to go on thinking; how are we to spend that sixpence? Think we must. Let us think in offices; in omnibuses; while we are standing in the crowd watching Coronations and Lord Mayor\u2019s Shows; let us think&#8230; in the gallery of the House of Commons; in the Law Courts; let us think at baptisms and marriages and funerals. Let us never cease from thinking\u2014what is this \u201ccivilization\u201d in which we find ourselves? What are these ceremonies and why should we take part in them?

The resulting increase in Greek yogurt production has forced those involved in the business to address the detrimental effects that the yogurt-making process may be having on the environment. Fortunately, farmers and others in the Greek yogurt business have found many methods of controlling and eliminating most environmental threats. Given these solutions as well as the many health benefits of the food, the advantages of Greek yogurt <\/span><b>outweigh<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the potential drawbacks of its production.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main environmental problem caused by the production of Greek yogurt is the creation of <\/span><b>acid whey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a by-product. Because it requires up to four times more milk to make than conventional yogurt does, Greek yogurt produces larger amounts of acid whey, which is difficult to dispose of. If it is improperly introduced into the environment, acid-whey runoff can pollute waterways, depleting the oxygen content of streams and rivers as it decomposes. To address the problem of disposal, farmers have found a number of uses for acid whey. They can add it to livestock feed as a protein supplement, <\/span><b>and people can make their own Greek-style yogurt at home by straining regular yogurt<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yogurt manufacturers, food scientists, and government officials are also working together to develop additional solutions for reusing whey.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though these conservation methods can be costly and time-consuming, they are well worth the effort. Nutritionists consider Greek yogurt to be a healthy food: it is an excellent source of calcium and protein, <\/span><b>serves to be<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a digestive aid, and it contains few calories in its unsweetened low- and non-fat forms. Greek yogurt is slightly lower in sugar and carbohydrates than conventional yogurt is. Also, because it is more concentrated, Greek yogurt contains slightly more protein per serving, thereby helping people stay <\/span><b>satiated<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for longer periods of time.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These health benefits have prompted Greek yogurt\u2019s recent surge in popularity. In fact, Greek yogurt can be found in an increasing number of products such as snack foods and frozen desserts. Because consumers reap the nutritional benefits of Greek yogurt and support those who make and sell it, <\/span><b>farmers and businesses should continue finding safe and effective methods of producing the food<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-042627e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"042627e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d12d05c\" data-id=\"d12d05c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98e37d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"98e37d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1601\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1601\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">22.

This follows several weeks of higher temperatures. For example, in the summer of 2012, virtually the entire Greenland Ice Sheet underwent thawing at or near its surface by mid-July, the earliest date on record. Most scientists looking for the causes of the <\/span><b>Great Melt of 2012<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have focused exclusively on rising temperatures. The summer of 2012 was the warmest in 170 years, records show. But Jason Box, an associate professor of geology at <\/span><b>Ohio State University,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> believes that another factor added to the early thaw: the <\/span><b>&#8220;dark snow&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> problem.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Box, a leading Greenland expert, <\/span><b>tundra fires in 2012 from as far away as North America produced great amounts of soot, some of which drifted over Greenland in giant plumes of smoke and then fell as particles onto the ice sheet.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Scientists have long known that soot particles facilitate melting by darkening snow and ice, limiting <\/span><b>its<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ability to reflect the Sun\u2019s rays. As Box explains, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSoot is an extremely powerful light absorber. It settles over the ice and captures the Sun\u2019s heat.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The result is a <\/span><b>self-reinforcing cycle.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As the ice melts, the land and water under the ice become exposed, and since land and water are darker than snow, the surface absorbs even more heat, which <\/span><b>leads to additional melting.<\/b><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box\u2019s research is important because the fires of 2012 may not be a one-time phenomenon. According to scientists, rising Arctic temperatures are making northern latitudes greener and thus more fire-prone. The pattern Box observed in 2012 may repeat <\/span><b>itself, possibly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with harmful effects on the Arctic ecosystem. <\/span><b>Box is currently organizing an expedition to gather this crucial information.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The next step for Box and his team is to travel to Greenland to perform direct sampling of the ice in order to determine just how much the soot is contributing to the melting of the ice sheet. Members of the public will be able to track his team\u2019s progress\u2014and even help fund the expedition\u2014through a website Box has created.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-57e18bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"57e18bb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fc0675c\" data-id=\"fc0675c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-809e542 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"809e542\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1341\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1341\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">28.

By 2008 there were 817 programs, up from 765 a decade before. In addition, the number of four-year graduates in philosophy has grown 46 percent in a decade. Also, studies have found that those students who major in philosophy often do better than students from other majors in both verbal reasoning and analytical <\/span><b>(39)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> writing. These results can be measured by standardized test scores.

But Harvard professor of psychology Daniel Wegner\u2019s recent research proves that websites\u2014and the Internet\u2014are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wegner\u2019s latest study, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Effects on Memory: Cognitive Consequences of Having Information at Our Fingertips<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, shows that when people have access to search engines, they remember fewer facts and less information because they know they can rely on \u201csearch\u201d as a readily available shortcut.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wegner, the senior author of the study, believes the new findings show that the Internet has become part of a transactive memory source, a method by which our brains compartmentalize information. First hypothesized by Wegner in 1985, transactive memory exists in many forms, as when a husband relies on his wife to remember a relative\u2019s birthday. \u201c[It is] this whole network of memory where you don\u2019t have to remember everything in the world yourself,\u201d he says. \u201cYou just have to remember who knows it.\u201d Now computers and technology as well are becoming virtual extensions of our memory.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea validates habits already forming in our daily lives. Cell phones have become the primary location for phone numbers. GPS devices in cars remove the need to memorize directions. Wegner points out that we never have to stretch our memories too far to remember the name of an obscure movie actor or the capital of Kyrgyzstan\u2014we just type our questions into Google. \u201cWe become part of the Internet in a way,\u201d he says. \u201cWe become part of the system and we end up trusting it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with researchers Betsy Sparrow of Columbia University and Jenny Liu of the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison, Wegner conducted four experiments to demonstrate the phenomenon, using various forms of memory recall to test reliance on computers. In the first experiment, participants demonstrated that they were more likely to think of computer terms like \u201cYahoo\u201d or \u201cGoogle\u201d after being asked a set of difficult trivia questions. In two other experiments, participants were asked to type a collection of readily memorable statements, such as \u201cAn ostrich\u2019s eye is bigger than its brain.\u201d Half the subjects were told that their work would be saved to a computer; the other half were informed that the statements would be erased. In subsequent memory testing, participants who were told their work would not be saved were best at recalling the statements. In a fourth experiment, participants typed into a computer statements they were told would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements.
