is something few can accomplishneeds some practice firstrequires a lot of patienceis a challenge at the beginningThey find it even more difficult.

You feel the same emotions – it is just as raw, just as fresh… You can't turn off that stream of memories, no matter how hard you try.

Within two years, Leah shed the safety of her accounting job and made the switch complete.

Where do the seeds of change come from? The Native American Indians have a saying: Pay attention to the whispers so you won't have to hear the screams.

Where are you in the cycle of renewal: Are you actively preserving the present, or selectively forgetting the past, or boldly creating the future? What advice would Leah give you to move you ahead on your journey? Once we're on the path of growth, we can continually move through the seasons of transformation and renewal.

When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that's compelling.

What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.

We recently caught up with yoga entrepreneur Leah Zaccaria, who put herself through the fire of change to completely reinvent herself.

Veiseh began to remember the details of his everyday experiences after he met his first young love.

Up until that point, Leah had followed traditional measures of success.

Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list is softness ( ' , 57%) followed by strength ( ' , 45%) and thickness ( ' , 36%).

This type of memory ( ' , where you are trying to remember new, but similar information) is particularly vulnerable to interference.

This is hard to achieve when, as is now the case in many big firms, a large proportion of staff are temporary contractors.

This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK.

They need to rid their minds of sentimentalism ( ' , 感情用事): the most successful teams have leaders who are able to set an overall direction and take immediate action.

They need to keep teams small and focused: giving in to pressure to be more inclusive is a guarantee of dysfunction.

They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.

They choose purpose over happiness—having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease.

They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.

They are favored as a form of art.

These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.

There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.

The worst fear Leah ever had was the prospect of losing her yoga business.

The report's writers state that America's failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.

The report refers to this as the coming of the 18-hour city, and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.

The question is, how?Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly highly on two measures: fantasy proneness ( ' , 傾向) and absorption.

The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks.

The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information.

The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, I have no question that when you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary… But don't count on it.

The lack of confidence on the part of investors.

The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modern marketplace and the expectations of employees.

The cycle of renewal never ends.

The bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift can be exciting, rather than terrifying.

The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality ( ' , 專業) and rank.

That's why leaders continue to manage the present while building toward the big changes of the future.

Teamwork improves with time: America's National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew's first day of flying together.

Teams have become the basic building-blocks of organisations.

Teams are as old as civilisation, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers.

Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21% feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams.

Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett.

Some people with HSAM find it very hard to get rid of unpleasant memories.

Some of us will seek it out; for others it will feel like an unwelcome intrusion into otherwise stable careers.

Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group.

Since then, she has founded two yoga studios, met a new life partner, and formed a new community of people.

She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptlyShe was also a researcher of tobacco and health.

She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.

She connected with her sense of purpose and dug deep, cultivating a tremendous sense of strength.

Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a good to excellent expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015.

Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective, says Dr.

Readiness to take advantage of new opportunities will make it easier to create one's desired future.

Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.

People in both groups used nicotine ( ' , 尼古丁) patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray.

Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper – including facial tissue and kitchen roll – to save money.

One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger, says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.

One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality.

One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine.

Often the best ideas for big changes come from unexpected places—it's just a matter of tuning in.

Of course I was scared, yet I had this strong sense of I have to do this.

Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say.

Needless to say, people like Veiseh are of great interest to neuroscientists ( ' , 神經科學專家) hoping to understand the way the brain records our lives.

My memory is like a library of video tapes, walk-throughs of every day of my life from waking to sleeping, he explains.

Most people do not have clear memories of past events.

Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making.

Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.

Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices.

Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy.

Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, Teams are not always the answer—teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge in a way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poor decision-making.

Leah easily could have fallen into a trap of feeling content; instead, her energy sparked a period of experimentation and renewal.

John Chambers, chairman of Cisco Systems Inc.

It's the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.

It originated in the eastern part of Europe.

It may be the beginning of a crisis.

It makes for the best part of one's life.

It is their major source of protein in winter.

It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.

It is likely to change the narrative of one's life.

It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.

It is a way of organising our memories.

It helps get rid of negative memories.

It has led to a lot of debate.

It has a history of over two thousand years.

It didn't take long for magazines and documentary film-makers to come to understand her total recall, and thanks to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects ( ' , including Veiseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine.

It constitutes a rare object of envy.

It can easily be made into a work of art.

It can be a new phase of one's life.

It adds to the burden of their memory.

Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember autobiographical life events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random ( ' , 任意選取的) lists of words.

Instead of just crowding in, old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form.

Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings ( ' , 癮) and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point.

In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from ￡43 in 2014 to ￡41 in 2015.

In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end.

In some ways, you probably go through that process after a big event like your wedding day – but the difference is that thanks to their other psychological tendencies, the HSAM subjects are doing it day in, day out, for the whole of their lives.

In search of a meaningful life, Leah gave up what she had and set up her own yoga studios.

In many companies, the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.

In his book, Team of Teams, General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army's hierarchical structure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war.

In her search to live a life of purpose, Leah left her high-paying accounting job, her husband, and her home.

In a study of 120 teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the team.

In a sense, forgetting is our brain's way of sorting memories, so the most relevant memories are ready for retrieval.

In a challenge for manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.

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.

Winners of local contests will participate in the national math competition for free.

White storks feed on locusts ( ' , 蝗蟲) and other insects that can become pests if their numbers get out of hand.

While many birds travelled along well-known routes to warmer climates, others stopped short and spent the winter on landfills, feeding on food waste, and the multitudes of insects that thrive on the dumps.

While bullying is parents' greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents.

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.

What the designers of American sportswear proved was that fashion is a genuine design art, answering to the demanding needs of service.

We need very broad participation to fully address the global tragedy that results when countries fail to take into account the negative impact of their carbon emissions on the rest of the world.

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

Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentlemen scientists, authors, antique experts, and patrons of the arts.

To promote sales of its products by lowering prices.

To be more competitive in sales of beauty products.

Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next 300 years.

They were the pioneers of gender equity, in their useful, adaptable clothing, which was both made for the masses and capable of self-expression.

They radically changed people's concept of beauty.

They have changed the previous migration habits of certain birds.

They have accelerated the reproduction of some harmful insects.

They gradually lose the habit of migrating in winterThey prefer rubbish dumps far away to those at home.

They got a better understanding of early human civilization.

They gained some knowledge of classical art and architecture.

They developed an interest in the origin of modern art forms.

They catered to the taste of the younger generation.

They came up with a brand-new set of design proceduresThey made originality a top priority in their fashion design.

They became rivals of their Parisian counterparts.

They are more likely to be at risk of dying.

These likely persistent forces, like the growth of shale ( ' , 頁巖) oil, point to a low for long scenario.

These designers established the modem dress code, letting playsuits and other activewear outfits suffice for casual clothing, allowing pants to enter the wardrobe, and prizing rationalism and versatility in dress, in contradiction to dressing for an occasion or allotment of the day.

There is strong evidence that both innovation and adoption of cleaner technology are strongly encouraged by higher fossil fuel prices.

There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children.

There are usually two parents, who spend a lot of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.

There are huge clusters of organic waste they can feed on, said Flack.

There are also dozens of summer camps—many attached to universities—that aim to prepare elite math students.

The trend of social and economic development.

The state's facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of February, Martin said.

The spread of epidemics to their homeland.

The retailer also announced the locations of 36 stores it will close in early 2016.

The result would be higher emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

The recent discovery of the giant Zohr gas field off the Egyptian coast will eventually have impact on pricing in the Mediterranean region and Europe, and there is significant development potential in many other places, notably Argentina.

The prices of coal are low as a result of over-supply and decreasing demand.

The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.

The lack of a research culture.

The involvement of more women in fashion design.

The hope is that the success of COP 21 opens the door to future international agreement on carbon prices.

The fear of massive copying.

The emulation of traditional Parisian design.

The demographics of that group looked quite different from those in the competition round—of the 16 video finalists, 13 were girls and eight were African-American students.

The consumer was ultimately to be mentioned as well, especially by the likes of Dorothy Shaver, who could point to the sales figures at Lord & Taylor.

The company blamed much of the poor performance in November and December on unseasonably warm weather.

The class differences in child rearing are growing—a symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences.

The changing attitude of journals and funders.

The challenge is if certain types of people are doing something, it's difficult for other people to break into it, said Po-Shen Loh, the head coach of last year's winning U.S.Math Olympiad team.

The birds can easily eat pieces of plastic or rubber hands and they can die, said Flack.

The belief that research data is private intellectual propertyThe concern that certain agencies may make a profit out of it.

The advent of new technologies has added about 4.

The advancement of digital technology.

The Math Olympiad Summer Training Program is a three-week math camp held by the Mathematical Association of America that leads straight to the international championship and is free for those who make it.

The Los Angeles Math Circle, held at the University of California, Los Angeles, began in 2007 with 20 students and now has more than 250.

The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long residence in Rome.

The British traveler Charles Thompson spoke for many Grand Tourists when in 1744 he described himself as being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history, a country which once gave laws to the world, and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting, contains the noblest productions of sculpture and architecture, and is filled with cabinets of rarities, and collections of all kinds of historical relics.

That relative strength would be consistent with what was seen in the wider retail industry during the early part of the holiday season.

Tennessee's technical and community colleges will not outsource ( ' , 外包) management of their facilities to a private company, a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.

Technological innovations have unleashed the power of renewables such as wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal ( ' , 地熱).

Teams of four students make a video illustrating a math problem and its real-world application.

Teachers in low-income urban and rural areas with no history of participating in math competitions may not know about advanced-math opportunities like MathCounts—and those who do may not have support or feel trained to lead them.

System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis, raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsourcing initiative.

Students may take advantage of online resources to learn to solve math problems.

Some intensive summer programs are very expensive but most of them provide scholarships.

Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository ( ' , 庫), 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.

Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century, Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections.

Setting the right carbon price will therefore efficiently align the costs paid by carbon users with the true social opportunity cost of using carbon.

Schools or teachers who sign up for the National Math Club receive a kit full of activities and resources, but there's no special teacher training and no competition attached.

Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits, including more connections with colleagues, improved visibility and increased citations.

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

Renewables account for only a small share of global primary energy consumption, which is still dominated by fossil fuels—30% each for coal and oil, 25% for natural gas.

Progress in the development of renewables could be fragile, however, if fossil fuel prices remain low for long.

Private collections were of greater variety.

People used to live near people of different income levels; neighborhoods are now more segregated by income.

Part of it is communication; part of it is transportation.

Parents of advanced-math students and MathCounts coaches say the children are on the website constantly.

Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both have advantages.

Panini's Ancient Rome and Modern Rome represent the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and churches.

One relative bright spot for Macy's during the holiday season was the online channel, where it rang up double-digit increases in sales and a 25% increase in the number of orders it filled.

One of the largest feeders for high school math competitions—including those that eventually lead to the IMO—is a middle school program called MathCounts.

Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84% say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art.

Of families earning less than $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% have volunteered and 41 % have taken arts classes.

Of course, much of this argument in the 1930s-40s was advanced because there was little or no experience in justifying apparel ( ' , 服裝) on the basis of utility.

Of course these practical, insightful designers have determined the course of late twentieth-century fashion.

Notwithstanding important recent progress in developing renewable fuel sources, low fossil fuel prices could discourage further innovation in, and adoption of, cleaner energy technologies.

Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children's schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer parents.

None of the chain's stores in the Washington metropolitan area are to be closed.

Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth of low-income, lesseducated parents.

Nearly all members of last year's winning U.S.IMO team took part in MathCounts as middle school students, as did Loh, the coach.

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.

Much of the waste is discarded rotten meat, mixed in with other human debris such as plastic bags and old toys.

Most of the training for advanced-math competitions happens outside the confines of the normal school day.

Most Grand Tourists, however, stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions, accompanied by a teacher or guardian, and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure to great masterpieces.

Morgan's comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out against one of Haslam's plans for higher education in Tennessee.
