the prevailing wisdomの意味は原典をこの文まで読んで理解しないとわからないと思いますが私が流し読みした限りだと(だからちょっと自信なし) the wisdomは時間や場所にとらわれず仕事ができる多様化するワークスタイルの中で職場がどこにあってもあるいは無くても良いんじゃ無いか、と言う現代の常識、先端の考え方。prevailingは意味通り、拡がりつつある。 We challenged the prevailing wisdom by showing how a different part of New York could represent BCG in a different way to attract the younger workforce. 私たちは、若い社員たちを引きつける今までと違ったやり方で、いかにこれまでと違うニューヨークの一面がBCGと言う会社を体現するかを示し、拡がりつつあった新たな常識に挑戦したのだ。

    Americans are having a passionate love affair with something they cannot see, hear, feel, touch or taste. That something is calories, billions upon billions of which are consumed every day, often unwittingly, at and between meals. Certainly calories are talked about constantly, and information about them appears with increasing frequency on food labels, menus, recipes and Web sites. But few people understand what they are and how they work - especially how they have worked to create a population in which 64 percent of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese, or how they thwart the efforts of so many people to shed those unwanted pounds and keep them off once and for all. Enter two experts: Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University; and Malden Nesheim, professor emeritus of nutritional sciences at Cornell University. Together they have written a new book, "Why Calories Count: From Science to Politics," to be published April 1, which explains what calories are, where they come from, how different sources affect the body, and why it is so easy to consume more of them than most people need to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

    It’s 2035.You’re at a soccer game when suddenly… it’s a goal! A robot player has scored! A robot?Is this possible?Maybe.Scientists are working to create robots that can play sports like soccer. A robot with these skills might also be able to aid humans for example, by doing dangerous or difficult jobs, like putting out fires or catching criminals. Robots have changed greatly since they were first developed for use in industry. Whereas earlier machines were unable to operate by themselves, a modern robot like Asimo can walk by itself, climb stairs, and even run slowly. Then there is Kismet. It has eyes, lips, and ears that move in different ways to show surprise, happiness, anger, and other emotions. Robots like Kismet could show us how they “feel” about learning new things.

My work is different to that of most other astrologers. I regard astrology as a kind of advanced science. When I researched for the Soul Mate Chart as well uncovering the buried secrets of the ancient star law I worked in methodical scientific way. I compared the charts of many thousands of couples. Some were famous, some were utterly unknown, some happy some miserable. I did this to find out how the details and fate and looks of one partner could show up distinctly in the others chart. So that it could be predicted with reasonable accuracy. his endeavor was both monumental and rewarding.

    Many were the train rides taken by the boys as well as by the numerous visitors arriving dailys to see the first real electric railroad in America. Of course there were accidents but none of a series nature,Iam happy to say.One June day in 1880,my former chief,G.P.Lowrey,was taken for a ride in company with Calvin Goddard,treasurer of the Edison Electric Light Company,of New York.Kruesi,who was the driver of the engine this time,put on the 'juice'and the train sped along with a velocity that brought a protest from Lowrey as they rounded a curve. Edison,who was with the party,smiled and said it was all right.'I'd rather you'd go slown on curves', said Lowreys as they were about to make the return trip.Kruesi, however,who wanted to make a good showing with such important guests,'soaked the juice'into the locomotive.As they ran a short curve the train jumped the track, Kruesi was thrown face down in the dirt and Force was shot into the underbrush after as fine a somersault as any circus athlete could turn.Edison was off in a second,laughing;it was a daisy of an accident,he said.That gave Kruesi courage, with dirt and blood over his face,he replied,'Oh yes,it's pairfeckly safe.' Lowrey delighted in relating this incident and in repeating with Kruesi's foreign accent,'Oh yes it's pairfeckly safe.'

    【至急】自然な日本語での和訳をお願いします! So Rubin was free - but his joy was short-lived. In a new trial, late in 1976, Bello changed his testimony yet again. The prosecution also put forward a 'racial revenge' theory to explain the shootings: they said that Rubin killed the white bartender, to avenge the shooting, six hours earlier, of a black bar-owner by a white man. What's more, some people who had been alibi witnesses on Rubin's side, now said he had asked them to lie for him. Rubin and his friend were sent back to prison. As before, he spent his time reading and studying, and he had little contact with the inmates and guards around him. But now his hopes for release had been crushed. But just when everything seemed lost, Rubin struck up an unexpected friendship with a fifteen-year-old boy, Lesra Martin. Lesra was a New York boy who had moved to live in a commune in Toronto, and he had picked up Rubin's autobiography at a garage sale. He visited Rubin in prison, and when he told the other commune members about his visit, they decided to investigate Rubin's case. They spoke with him on the phone, and sent him food, clothes, and even a TV set. In 1983, the Canadian group began to work with Rubin's defense lawyers, carefully going through the thousands of pages of evidence which had built up, showing how the prosecution had concealed and manipulated evidence. But should they appeal again to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which had already rejected an earlier appeal for a third trial, or should they appeal to the Federal Court ? Rubin himself decided to take the high-risk option and appeal to the Federal Court. If this appeal failed, there would be nothing left - it would mean imprisonment for life.

    http://okwave.jp/qa/q7735379.htmlの続きです In 1992, team member Gen Suwa found the first specimen of A.ramidus near the Ethiopian village of Aramis. Within two years, enough fossils had been found to produce the first article that named and sketchily described the animal, from a total of 17 fossils. Some researchers have complained how long it has taken to publish work about the fossils. But Berhane Asfaw, a co-director of the Middle Awash Project at the Rift Valley Research Service in Addis Ababa, says : “We weren’t interested in how many papers we could publish. Our interest was in the full chain of information ; that produces the power of the work.” From more than 135000 vertebrate bone or tooth pieces, the team identified 110 as being from A.ramidus, representing a minimum of 36 individuals. The fossil come from a sediment layer sandwiched between two layers of volcanic rock known as tuff ― each dated to 4.4 million years ago, says a team led by Giday Wolde Gabriel, of Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Fossils in the sediments include plants, pollen, invertebrates and birds, which helped to pinpoint the woodland environment where Ardi lived. Years of field work uncovered Ardi’s skull, teeth, arms, hands, pelvis, legs and feet ― all of which had to be painstakingly prepared. Ardi’s skull was recovered crushed in more than 60 pieces that were broken and scattered about. The bone was poorly fossilized ― so soft that each piece had to be moulded in a silicon rubber cast then digitized by computed tomography scans. Ardi’s hands and wrists don’t show several distinctive chimp characteristics, such as some larger bones and a tendon ‘shock absorber’ system to withstand bodyweight, says team member Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University in Ohio. The foot, with its big toe sticking out sideways, would have allowed Ardi to clamber in trees, walking along branches on her palms. And her teeth show no tusk-like upper canines, which most apes have for weapons or display during conflict. “This is a major feature showing that Ardi is not in the lineage of modern chimps,” Suwa says. 長いですがよろしくお願いします^^;

    If two American,girls vacationing in England hadn't stopped for five minutes in front of a shop window in the village of Newhaven, they would have been S25,000 poorer. Here's how it happened. The two girls, Betty and Jane had had a lovely holiday cycling around the lovely English countryside and now it was coming to an end. When they came to a little old village called Newhaven, they stopped to look at the shops for five minutes. They needed a present for their mother back in New York. Soon entered a little old antique shop which sold china, silver and all kinds of antiques. Mr Hubbard, the owner, asked if he could help them. "Yes," replied Jane, we need something for less than a dollar as a present. It's very difficult to buy any kind of antique for such a low price but finally Mr. Hubbard offered them a small bead necklace for just 70 cents, which they bought. When they got outside the shop Betty said, "It seems mean to give mother such a dirty-looking old necklace, but at least she couldn't buy it at a supermarket. Perhaps we can have it cleaned up a bit when we get to London. They went up to London that afternoon, then when they'd checked into a hotel, they took the necklace to Coghill's, a famous jeweller to have it cleaned. They 10 were told it would be ready for them to pick up the following morning. After a good night's sleep, they went to the shop and when they asked for the necklace, the man at the counter asked them to follow him to the president's office: In the beautiful room they were greeted but by Mr. Grisby, director of the not only by the president, was British Museum. Beside him in a red velvet-lined box, their necklace, now it looked different. Mr. Grisby said, "As you see, this is a necklace of beautiful black pearls, not beads. But more important is the fact that this is the most historical necklace in Britain. It belonged to Mary, Queen of Scotland who is said to have worn it in 1587 when she head cut off at the order of her cousin Queen Elizabeth 1 of England. At that time it was lost and we've been looking for it for nearly 400 years. Now you have found it. We hope you'll accept s25,000 for this necklace." Jane and Betty were so amazed they couldn't speak. They nodded their agreement.
