an accelerating speeda shift to city centersa new focus on small citiesan ever-increasing demandPeople can live without private cars.

Your identity has been formed; you've built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.

While it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability burdensome.

While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy – in theory at least – when it comes to paper quality.

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.

When we acquire new information, the brain automatically tries to incorporate ( ' , 合并) it within existing information by forming associations.

When people tend to forget.

When it's time to make the leap, they take action and immediately drop what's no longer serving their purpose.

When Leah made the commitment to change, she primed herself to new opportunities she may otherwise have overlooked.

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.

What contributes to forgetting.

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

Viewing the past in high definition can make it very difficult to get over pain and regret.

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

Urbanization – migration away from the suburbs and to the city center – will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.

True to her word, she was correct almost every time.

Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears.

Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.

To ensure employees' commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.

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

This process improves access to relevant information, without old memories interfering.

This means they often have to make a special effort to lay the past to rest.

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

They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.

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 need to immunise teams against group-think: Hackman argued that the best ones contain deviants ( ' , 離經(jīng)叛道者) who are willing to do something that may be upsetting to others.

They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede ( ' , 逐漸淡化).

They feel attached to the suburban environment.

They are simply unable to make it.

These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs.

There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me, says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast.

The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church.

The run has been taken; now is the time to leap.

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 says America's urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development making cities like New York and San Francisco so successful.

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 millennials ( ' , 千禧一代) who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.

The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a measured haste to get big new things done while there is still time.

The least that can be concluded from this research is that companies need to think harder about managing teams.

The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects ( ' , such as GE and IBM) to some more unusual ones.

The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.

The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for recollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months.

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(yè)) and rank.

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

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.

Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take prompt action.

Steering through change and facing obstacles brings us face to face with our fears.

Soon after, she knew she had to make a bold move to fully commit to her new future.

Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.

Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.

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

Some people are absorbed in the past but not open to new memories, but that's not the case for me.

Small signs may indicate great changes to come and therefore merit attention.

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.

Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money, research has shown.

She recalls:One day a man I worked with, Ryan, who had his office next to mine, said, Leah, let's go look at this space on Queen Anne .

She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.

Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters.

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.

Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage.

Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two.

Previous behavioural studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting.

People with HSAM often have to make efforts to avoid focusing on the past.

People with HSAM have the same memory as ordinary people when it comes to impersonal information.

People rarely manage to quit the first time they try.

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 had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero.

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

On the plus side, it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences.

Office managers knock down walls to encourage team building.

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

Not everyone with a tendency to fantasise will develop HSAM, though, so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to think so much about their past.

Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure our brain doesn't become too full.

Needless to say, people like Veiseh are of great interest to neuroscientists ( ' , 神經(jīng)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 roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.

More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.

Maybe some experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed ( ' , 著迷) with calendars and what happened to them, says Patihis.

Many more people with HSAM started to contact researchers due to the mass media.

Luxurious features add much to the price.

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.

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's interest in yoga prompted her to make a firm decision to reshape her life.

Leah's growth spurred her to open her second studio—and it wasn't for the money.

Leah reflects on one incident that triggered her fears, when her investors threatened to shut her down: I was probably up against the most fear I've ever had, she says.

Leah reflects on a time she listened to the whispers: About the time my daughter was five years old, I started having a sense that ‘this isn't right.

It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.

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

It is likely to be a critical turning point in one's life.

It has led to a lot of debate.

It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it, Ferreira says.

It facilitates our access to relevant information.

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.

Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink.

Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle.

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.

Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.

Working-class children are happier, more independent, complain less and are closer to family members, Ms.

Within Italy, the great focus was Rome, whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist.

White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents.

While these numbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustments they might suggest will be immaterial, Morgan wrote to the presidents.

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 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.

Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

We're trying to create that pathway.

We want to reach parents who are not plugged into the system, said Zaharopol.

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.

Unless renewables become cheap enough that substantial carbon deposits are left underground for a very long time, if not forever, the planet will likely be exposed to potentially catastrophic climate risks.

Unfortunately, the current low prices for oil, gas, and coal may provide little incentive for research to find even cheaper substitutes for those fuels.

To promote sales of its products by lowering prices.

To match the growing demand, services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products online and enable other researchers to discover and cite them.

To focus more on beauty products than clothing.

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.

This prompted the company to cut its forecasts for the full fourth quarter.

They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.

They have led some birds to give up on migration.

They have forced white storks to search for safer winter shelters.

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

They could buy unique souvenirs there to take back home.

They catered to the taste of the younger generation.

They cannot be attributed to weather only.

They are taught to be compliant and respectful to adults.

They are not attracted to the rubbish dumps on their migration routes.

They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren't great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.

They are more likely to be at risk of dying.

These math circles cost nothing, or they're very cheap for students to get involved in, but you have to know about them, said Rusczyk.

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

There are benefits to both approaches.

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

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 retail giant said the poor financial performance this year has pushed it to begin implementing $400 million in cost-cutting measures.

The reason is that when carbon is priced, those emissions reductions that are least costly to implement will happen first.

The potential harm to the ecosystem.

The most recent one took place last week in Washington, D.C.Students join a team through their schools, which provide a volunteer coach and pay a nominal fee to send students to regional and state competitions.

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

The essential place to visit, however, was Italy.

The dynamic adjustment to low oil prices may, however, be different this time around.

The design objective and the business commitment were to sportswear, and the distinctive traits were problemsolving ingenuity and realistic lifestyle applications.

The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.

The current low fossil fuel price environment will thus certainly delay the energy transition from fossil fuel to clean energy sources.

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 pledged to cut 600 back-office positions, though some 150 workers in those roles would be reassigned to other jobs.

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 achievement gap between children from high- and lowincome families is 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr.

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 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.

The 224 students who make it to the national competition get an all-expenses-paid trip.

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.

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.

Students use forums to chat, play games, and solve problems together at no cost, or they can pay a few hundred dollars to take courses with trained teachers.

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

Students in university towns may also have access to another lever for involvement in accelerated math: math circles.

Students attend after-school clubs, summer camps, online forums and classes and university-based math circles, to prepare for the competitions.

Students apply to the program directly through their schools.

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.

Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events.

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.

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.

Repositories are essential to scientific research.

Publishing data and code allows your science to be reproducible.

Pricing carbon proves the most economical way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Policymakers should not allow low energy prices to derail the clean energy transition.

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

Participation grows through friends and networks and if you realize that's how they're growing, you can start to take action and bring in other students, he said.

Open data sharing is most important to medical science.

Open data sharing is conducive to scientific advancement.

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.

Oil prices are expected to remain lower for longer.

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

Natural gas and coal—also fossil fuels—have similarly seen price declines that look to be long-lived.

Most people would love to get students from more underserved populations, but they just can't get them in the door.

Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members.

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 said those findings—which included data from the system's 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities—were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam's proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.

Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor's proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them.

Morgan notified the Haslam administration of his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week.

Moreover, nonparticipation by nations, if sufficiently widespread, can undermine the political will of participating countries to act.

More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households—a historic high, according to Pew—and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents.

Middle school is an important age because students have enough math capability to solve advanced problems, but they haven't really decided what they want to do with their lives, said Loh.

Meanwhile, Macy's has simply struggled to lure consumers who are more interested in spending on travel or dining out than on new clothes or accessories.

Math circles provide students with access to advanced-math training by university professors.

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

Many have argued that the women designers of this time were able to project their own clothing values into a new style.

Many aristocrats began to move into Roman-style villas.

Macy's has been moving aggressively to try to remake itself for a new era of shopping.

London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and Paris a compulsory destination; many traveled to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and Germany, and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece, or Turkey.
