I don't intend to play him. But he can sample the first-team atmosphere. " I am planning for next season, even though I am not sure what the future holds.

The chapter ends with a succinct statement about the divine energy which works through discipline to the freedom to love and is manifested in the relationship between the Old and New Covenants: " for fulnes of law es charite; in hynges all ". This leads naturally to the splendid definitions of love in chapter ten as Rolle anticipates the disciple bringing him down to earth with a question: " You talk a great deal about love but what is it? Where is it? How do I best practise it and know that I am loving God? " The systematic answers reveal that love is essentially in the inner heart of man not in works, which are merely a sign of love, though it is true that " luf wil noght be ydel: it es wirkand som gude evermare " (111.96-- ;7). By re-examining the three degrees in ways which are closer to those of Emendatio Vitae Rolle now expands understanding of the implications of his earlier definitions in chapter eight of The Form.

Register W_religion time were very crude and based upon feudal understandings of barons and servants and themes of honour, respect and dignity. Peter Abelard rejected these crude and often absurd ideas which seemed to lower the dignity of God. In their place he substituted a psychological theory which is almost modern in its understanding and penetration. He saw the power of love to inspire and transform. In his opinion, the cross of Christ did not change God, or our relationship with God at all, but it changes us. The cross does not affect God because he has always been loving and desiring our repentance; it affects us by presenting us with an example of love and sacrifice which overwhelms us because of its outrageous generosity. Let us now dig a little deeper into this theory and try to appreciate Abelard's thought from within. For him the power of love is paramount. For Abelard there is a transforming energy in love which can change people. Perhaps that came from his own experience of human love -- we don't really know. We have all seen love change things.

Their happiness was to be destroyed by the heart-rending realisation that Kimberly was not his child. She had been swopped with another baby 13 years before in a tragic hospital blunder. Bob Mays had to confront the fact that for years he had been loving someone else's daughter. The story of Bob and Kimberly captures the emotional torture of families across America whose lives have been blighted by baby swops. It began in the Hardee Memorial Hospital, Wauchula, Florida with Kimberly's birth. Whether on purpose or by mistake, Kimberly was exchanged for the baby who came to be known as Arlena Twigg. The swop did not come to light until Arlena, who suffered from a congenital heart defect, had to undergo surgery.

As soon as the parents of the first baby contacted health service bosses the parents of the second were told. Blood samples were taken from the mothers and babies. If tests confirm there was a mix-up, the parents will have to live with the fact they have been loving someone else's child. Midwifery manager Ann Wilson said: " One set of parents were very understanding but the others were more angry about it, although they are calmer now.

Register W_religion time were very crude and based upon feudal understandings of barons and servants and themes of honour, respect and dignity. Peter Abelard rejected these crude and often absurd ideas which seemed to lower the dignity of God. In their place he substituted a psychological theory which is almost modern in its understanding and penetration. He saw the power of love to inspire and transform. In his opinion, the cross of Christ did not change God, or our relationship with God at all, but it changes us. The cross does not affect God because he has always been loving and desiring our repentance; it affects us by presenting us with an example of love and sacrifice which overwhelms us because of its outrageous generosity. Let us now dig a little deeper into this theory and try to appreciate Abelard's thought from within. For him the power of love is paramount. For Abelard there is a transforming energy in love which can change people. Perhaps that came from his own experience of human love -- we don't really know. We have all seen love change things.

Register W_non_ac_soc_science who judge this too visionary, let me remind you of the line from the Psalmist: " Where there is no vision, the people perish. " Animal Welfare and the Environment: Are they always Compatible? David Wilkins The title of this chapter poses the question whether a straightforward animal welfare approach is necessarily compatible with the concept of protecting our environment. I make no apologies for concentrating on issues which in environmental terms could be considered as being relatively minor compared with some of the major problems facing us today. In posing these questions I am not necessarily wanting to provide the answers, and it may be that there are no simple answers to some of these questions. Protecting the environment means different things to different people, but in most cases it is the individual's own perception of what he or she wants from the environment. In other words it is a selfish conception and it is based on the individual's own experience. (also interpretive, explanatory use)

Wexford didn't take the vacant seat and something in his expression must have told Cullam he wanted privacy, for he said to his wife, " Can't you get them kids out of here? " Mrs. Cullam shrugged and the ash from her cigarette fell into a plate of congealing gravy. She hoisted the baby on to her hip and dragging a chair close up to the television set, sat down and stared at the blank screen. " Leave the cat alone, I said, " she remarked without heat. " What were you wanting ? " Cullam asked. " We'll go into your kitchen, if you don't mind, Mr Cullam. " " It's in a right old mess. " " Never mind. " Mrs Cullam made no comment. She switched on the television without looking up. Two of the children began to fight in the depths of their armchair. Wexford followed their father into the kitchen.

Morton strolled to the window and watched the unending procession of cabs and carts, two-horse vans and omnibuses. He was admiring the dexterity of a young street orderly, who was darting into the stream of traffic to scoop up the piles of horse-droppings, when he heard the rattle of the door knob. He swung round. It was not Catherine, but her mother. She was taller, if anything, than Catherine, and was still dressed for afternoon receiving. Ah, there you are, " she said vaguely. " Were you wanting to speak to Catherine? " " If that would not incommode her, ma'am. " " Well, that is just it, Mr Morton. She came home early from the office, and she has locked herself in her room. I tiptoed upstairs, some time ago, and I could hear her crying. "

" But of course, " said Bith firmly, " if your honourships were wanting it, then we'd go and be pleased to. " And the Gnomes looked at Goibniu worriedly and waited. Goibniu was still studying the drawings and thinking that Reflection, greedy creature, would surely not be able to resist them and that it mightn't be a bad idea to revive the ancient traditional dish of roast Gnome for the wedding feast, which would save them having to pay the Gnomes anything.

Loretta stepped through the narrow gap, and found herself looking from the shadow of the gateway across a carefully tended lawn to the far side of the college. Tall windows stared bleakly down at her from what she guessed to be the great hall. Before she could take in any more of the scene, a short, red-faced man bustled out from an office to her left and planted himself squarely in front of her. " Yes, miss? " he demanded pugnaciously, reminding her of a sentry at a besieged garrison. " What were you wanting ? " His grey moustache bristled; he was so close that Loretta could make out the individual hairs. A bell rang in her mind, and she almost laughed aloud. " Mr Koogan? " she began, remembering the " former army boxing champion " who had shooed away the Sun reporter during one of Puddephat's previous sallies into the public print.

To the fury of the Cyprus government, Turkey persuaded its fellow ECO states to grant ECO associate status to the " Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus ". A growing rift was apparent between Iran and Turkey over competition for influence among the newly independent Central Asian states and over the future role and shape of ECO. Iranian diplomats denied any rivalry, but a Turkish diplomat was quoted by the Independent of Feb. 18 as saying that the Iranians were " clearly wanting to appear as leading " and that this was " the source of some irritation " in Turkey. The Turks made little secret of their pleasure that the majority of the Central Asian delegations spoke in Turkish at the summit. Statements by the Iranian 48 government made it clear that it saw ECO as the basis for a future Islamic common market which might ultimately embrace some 300 million people -- a quarter of all Muslims -- and rival the European Communities in importance.

Tamar glanced across curiously and as the man emerged from the shadow of the stable into the bright sunlight, her throat constricted and her heart gave a lurch.

As the sun caught the coppery glint of the curls which clung closely to his head like a cap, the familiar Welsh lilt greeted her. " Good afternoon, m'Lady. Which way are you wanting to ride, today?

Homeopathy has more than 2,000 remedies, made from all sorts of plants and even snake venom. Brenda's remedies are made by up by a pharmacist and sent to her. The system has grown in popularity in recent years. The nearest practices to Richmond include ones in Darlington, Thirsk, Yarm, Guisborough and Bainbridge, Wensleydale. Brenda said: " I think people are wanting to take more responsibility for their own health. They want to know why conditions occur. " Homeopathy takes the holistic approach and deals with diet, health, mental and emotional state of the patient as well as their particular symptoms. It's complementary to orthodox medicine. My daughter would not be here if it was not for orthodox medicine but I do believe her condition has been improved by homeopathy. (also temporariness)

Things are too urgent for that and the dynamic is too big for any group to claim ownership of it. But the movement is big enough and strategic enough for every single church grouping to get involved in it and to see again church planting as part of their raison d'etre. By now many will be itching to get moving and so we turn immediately to the question: how can we get on with it? Getting moving In His will is our peace. Dante It may be that you are wanting to get on and be involved in something new for God. As one church planter has said: " When Jesus comes back, I want to be doing something for God, even if it's only making mistakes. " Maybe you want to be cautious, knowing that to try and do a work of God by the flesh is to court disaster and possibly a nervous breakdown for good measure. (also temporariness)

Pray every day that God will fill you with the Holy Spirit so that you have more courage to speak up for Jesus. 4 Never feel a failure if you have to admit that you don't know the answer to a friend's question. It's better to admit that you don't know and then go away to find out the answer, than to make up an answer that is not true! 5 Don't get drawn into pointless arguments. Try to learn to tell the difference between people who are just wanting to have a row and people who REALLY want to know more about Jesus. 6 If you have a good Christian friend, you could always practise witnessing by one of you pretending to be an interested non-Christian and the other being her/himself. The one who is " playing " the role of the non-Christian should ask all the usual questions that your friends may ask, and the one who is being the Christian should attempt to answer.

For example, some subordinates may enthusiastically welcome your enquiries, respond readily to indirect guidance and need little or no prompting to seek out information. Other may sit there stubbornly waiting for you to tell them what they are meant to do whilst making it abundantly clear that the session is hardly welcome, indeed is being conducted almost under duress. Variations in response put you on your mettle. You need considerable confidence to switch approaches and find appropriate responses. It may take time for the resisters to realize that you mean to influence events through them and are not wanting merely to impose your nominal authority over them. Enthusiasts however, may have to be gently discouraged from making too many demands on your time and that when you ask a question you are not automatically expecting any action. Finally, subordinates respond best to coaching if they are motivated. (also temporariness)

STEP 1 Begin by defining your main message. This requires answering a basic check question: What is the single most important result that I want from this presentation? By thinking carefully about the answer you should be able to narrow down the essence of your case to a single sentence, and a short one at that. Is your audience supposed to emerge with a general appreciation of a situation, or do you want some specific form of action? Are you wanting commitment or merely agreement to seek further information? Do not proceed until you have refined your aim down to a single prime objective and your message down to a single one sentence statement. Your prime objective should assist you in coming to terms with the most limiting aspect of verbal presentations. (also temporariness) 54

Alice nodded, but she was examining him critically. She was finding him unimpressive. A stocky, stubby man. His hair, cut short, was flattened here and there, like an animal's fur when it is out of sorts. A stale breath came from him, sour, disordered, which was not only because he might have drunk too much. He should be watching his weight. " I am glad you dropped in, Comrade Alice. I have been wanting to talk things over with you. " Here he got up and went to the desk, to look for cigarettes, and stood with his back to her, going through the business of putting one in his mouth and lighting it. This procedure, during which he seemed to be returning to himself, a quick, efficient, considered series of movements, subdued Alice's criticism. (also duration)

It would hardly have done him much good in his professional life, where women were always wanting to know if they were having them or how to stop them or conceive them, if he had been.

For the people were no longer a negatively friendly element which the individual slid into and out of.... Perhaps I discerned something they had in common, but what I saw chiefly was that they were different from me. I was alone. I knew that I was alone, and I found myself saying over my name to myself to intensify my individuality to bring about a conviction that though alone I was strong. Thenceforward I was always wanting to take the joys of solitude and of society in their extreme forms, and was alternatively miserable from the lack of company or the presence of uncongenial company. I remember how both feelings entered into me in the course of one evening....

There wasn't a light anywhere, but Uncle just gave Madge her head and she brought him safely home. But she got too old eventually and so did Dick and Snip, so we had to send them away. Then we bought a lovely horse called Prince with much better breeding than the others. He possessed a lovely long tail which swept right down to the ground and it was a lovely sight to see him turn round. Uncle was always wanting to have that tail cut shorter and we had quite a few battles about it, but I won and Prince kept his long tail. Because of his fine pedigree he was a little bit more highly strung than the others and would set off rather sharply. He had no really bad faults but you had to be careful that nothing startled him, such as a bird suddenly rising, and on one occasion he did bolt. (also repetition)

We are as strong as Cornwall but they have the experience of having played in last season's final, and I suppose they'll be bringing their fair share of support.

There will be no lack of determination, after all Lancashire have a fine tradition in the competition.

At this early stage, however, life seems to depend upon expelling from " me " all that seems to be bad, and later testing out how far others will tolerate or react to the bad in " me ". Toddlers who kick and scream against the restrictions of their parents are unconsciously testing the limits of where they end and others begin. As far as they are concerned, of course, they are simply wanting another ice-cream, or another go on the swing. If they are over-indulged they will, as likely as not, feel unsatisfied. What they may unconsciously be looking for is containment. Containment relieves anxiety about strong feelings and impulses getting out of control. Instead of the children being the monsters, the parents become the monsters who threaten to take over and exact revenge. But if the monster parents do not act monstrously and succeed in containing the passion, the children are reassured.

Suddenly there was a cry from the gateway; and the khalifas started ushering everyone to one side. All the spectators frowned. " What's happening? " I asked Punjab, who had come up beside me. " This khalifa is saying one dead body is coming. We must leave the graveyard for an hour. " " Now? " " Yes, immediately. Some people are wanting to bury some body here. " As we were leaving, we passed the Muslim who had lost the fight. He was cradling his partridge in his hands and kissing the bird. He was close to tears, but the bird looked surprisingly perky. " Will the bird live? " I asked Punjab. " Yes, yes, " he replied.

The fact that Murphy considers himself first and foremost a businessman who happens to be in PR helps to explain the care with which the decision to sell PRCS was taken. The decision to sell was taken a year before the deal was done and the company looked at 11 different suitors before picking Shandwick. " We needed an international group because more and more of our clients were wanting international services, while it was important to be part of someone strong in financial PR in the City. " Shandwick's was by no means the highest offer.

A growing rift was apparent between Iran and Turkey over competition for influence among the newly independent Central Asian states and over the future role and shape of ECO. Iranian diplomats denied any rivalry, but a Turkish diplomat was quoted by the Independent of Feb. 18 as saying that the Iranians were " clearly wanting to appear as leading " and that this was " the source of some irritation " in Turkey. The Turks made little secret of their pleasure that 109 the majority of the Central Asian delegations spoke in Turkish at the summit.

The public and especially hospital consultants are rapidly realising and acknowledging that Trust hospital status is a genuine attempt to address local health needs which is providing increasingly successful health care. If we look at cons sa take consultant's views, I'm afraid that hospital consultants are not the quickest to grasp the advantages of reform. They didn't want the Health Service in the first place but we rapidly came round to it. We didn't want the reforms it seems but now sixty to seventy percent of consultants are wanting the reforms. And we heard some figures about G P's, ninety two percent of those G P's who've got their own budgets are seeing the benefits to their patients and their patients are saying so as well. Undoubtedly benefits are coming from those sorts of changes that come from the Health Service reforms.

A London clinic specialising in reversal operations said yesterday that more than six out of 10 operations are now successful compared with fewer than two out of 10 only three or four years ago. Miss Jacquie Sullivan, managing director of the clinic, the Surgical Advisory Service, said the improving success rate was the result of advances in micro-surgery coupled with better post-operative care. About 40,000 men a year undergo vasectomy, but with one in three marriages ending in divorce, increasing numbers are forming new relationships and wanting to have a second family. Miss Sullivan said: " The typical person coming to us is a divorced man in his 30s or 40s who has remarried, often to a woman in her 20s, and wants to start a family. " We can not forecast the success of a reversal operation in an individual case, but we can now tell each patient that it is more likely the operation will succeed than fail (also increasing/decreasing activity) 116

In fact this shift has been visible for some time and seems at present to be increasing. This is only one of several tactics which has the incidental effect of squeezing the " Mum and Dad " agencies. The start-up costs of a travel agency have been relatively small. While business was buoyant there was a living in it for many small shops that are liable to succumb in a climate where 40 per cent of the country are wanting independent deals, and the remainder are demanding much improved advice and service. Thomas Cook, investing £18m to redesign their 300 retail outlets in four-section specialist subdivisions, predict that the 6,500 Abta-bonded agencies will decrease by 1,000 in 1990.

Yet anyone who has been using one in the last few months will know, the accuracy of the sets in winter can be very poor. I regularly get total signal failure and if I followed some of the compass courses displayed I would never be heard of again. This is not the case with the new satellite system called GPS. This give almost unfailing accuracy no matter what the weather conditions. The problem with GPS is that like all new gadgets, the companies are wanting to recover development costs as quickly as possible and they are very expensive. The first sets a few months ago were well over £2000 which would put them out of the range of all private and a lot of charter boats. Competition and mass production is now changing that. The Earls Court Boat Show last month saw the launching of a GPS set called the Pronav for £1,495, including VAT, and other sets have begun to tumble in price.

It is undoubtedly true that when a family member dies, other members of the family are often too upset themselves to recognize the distress of the children in their midst. It may be that friends and relatives who are less affected by the death of the family member, could give some special attention to the children who are wanting to be comforted and to be told what is going on. Rather than sending the children out when the adults want to talk, it may be that a neighbour could make sure to include them in an outing to give the child time to talk to them. They could explain to the child why he feels as though the world has turned upside down and why his remaining parent seems so upset.

Ian Coffey of the Evangelical Alliance: " I just sense this to be a confirmation of what God is saying to the church. It may have an Elim label on it, but I think " Breakthrough 2000 " is a vision from God that deserves wider exposure. " Breakthrough 2000 " warmed my heart because I think: here is vision, here is faith, and here are people who are setting a target and they are wanting to move towards it. " I agree that this scheme is significant not only because of what may be achieved for good in the north-west, but because it can act as a model for planning for other areas and for other denominations. It is interesting also that this scheme goes back to the roots of the Elim movement.

For example, some subordinates may enthusiastically welcome your enquiries, respond readily to indirect guidance and need little or no prompting to seek out information. Other may sit there stubbornly waiting for you to tell them what they are meant to do whilst making it abundantly clear that the session is hardly welcome, indeed is being conducted almost under duress. Variations in response put you on your mettle. You need considerable confidence to switch approaches and find appropriate responses. It may take time for the resisters to realize that you mean to influence events through them and are not wanting merely to impose your nominal authority over them. Enthusiasts however, may have to be gently discouraged from making too many demands on your time and that when you ask a question you are not automatically expecting any action.

STEP 1 Begin by defining your main message. This requires answering a basic check question: What is the single most important result that I want from this presentation? By thinking carefully about the answer you should be able to narrow down the essence of your case to a single sentence, and a short one at that. Is your audience supposed to emerge with a general appreciation of a situation, or do you want some specific form of action? Are you wanting commitment or merely agreement to seek further information? Do not proceed until you have refined your aim down to a single prime objective and your message down to a single one sentence statement. Your prime objective should assist you in coming to terms with the most limiting aspect of verbal presentations. (also politeness, tentativeness)

Yet they get along. Indeed, many draw very high salaries, run profitable businesses, have satisfied clients, and some become millionaires. How is this possible if the art of persuasion is such a highly skilled task? The answer rests in what work is asked of public relations today. If such skills are not necessary for the campaigns wanted or the solutions needed, then why bother? This is changing fast, and clients are more and more wanting advice and action that calls for considerable finesse, knowledge, and intelligence. Those planning to enter public relations in the future will not be able to offer superficial solutions or thinking to any client. A quick look at just a few areas of today's public relations work confirms that prediction: Social issue pressure on manufacturers Post-industrial society and capitalism Vested interests and central legislation Social intervention and engineering tasks (also increasing/decreasing activity)

At the till, worried parents are putting through the week's shopping. Whilst they are not obscenely fat, yet, they are well on their way to hippo status. Even their baby is bloated, and wanting more. The well-known supermarket teaser is to put all the sweeties up by the till, so you have to buy when you queue. If you have kids, you don't get out alive. Pig-Pig junior is pressing his marshmallow body against the trolley wire in a desperate attempt to acquire chocolate bars.

But the flip side of that effectiveness is quite clear when things go wrong. When items are faulty, not delivered on time, or more rarely where Ian has by his own fault succeeded in botching an order, then he goes on the defensive. If the customer pushes the point, he fights back. And as a result, he has recently lost two small but important customers, and his sales manager is wanting to know why. Past hurts and present conflicts What are the contact points, if any, in your experiences of past hurts and present conflicts? Are there any ways in which you react now to conflict situations which have been affected or constrained by something you have learned from the past?

We've approached this from a a slightly different angle and recognized that local planning experience within the county now and in the forthcoming district plans shows that there are going to be policies that restrict development in the open country. Therefore my clients would much rather deal with this at a strategic level than in individual district plans. But to do that we need to be sure that the policy is appropriate, does reflect national policy. As it stands the districts seem to be wanting their cake and eat it in that they would like er a policy restricting development in the open countryside but they don't want it to come with baggage that is specific which says what the exceptions should be.

There's gold and it's haunting and haunting Its luring me on as of old; Yet it isn't the wealth that I 'm wanting So much as just finding the gold. Its the great big, broad land " way up yonder, It's the forests where silence has lease; Its the beauty that thrills me with wonder, It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

And er, let's face it there is jobs going if they 're wanting them.

Sometimes as adults if a child for instance asks the question " what is death " it is very easy to go into quite a long diatribe about life and death and get really profound, whereas in fact all a child may be wanting to know is how do you know if somebody's dead, how can you tell the difference between somebody being dead and somebody being asleep? Often we put more onto it than they 're actually wanting to know. Yes. One of the problems I have with what you've all been saying so far is that you've talked about encouraging a sense of warmth and security, well maybe we ought to confront the fact that the world is not a warm and secure place and deal with those kinds of issues, and say and put it squarely before children.

Nevertheless Murphy should end up comfortably a millionaire once the earn-out is complete next year. The fact that Murphy considers himself first and foremost a businessman who happens to be in PR helps to explain the care with which the decision to sell PRCS was taken. The decision to sell was taken a year before the deal was done and the company looked at 11 different suitors before picking Shandwick. " We needed an international group because more and more of our clients were wanting international services, while it was important to be part of someone strong in financial PR in the City. " Shandwick's was by no means the highest offer. Indeed one firm -- which has since gone bust -- offered £1.5 million more, while other better offers would have entailed loss of control and loss of identity.

A London clinic specialising in reversal operations said yesterday that more than six out of 10 operations are now successful compared with fewer than two out of 10 only three or four years ago. Miss Jacquie Sullivan, managing director of the clinic, the Surgical Advisory Service, said the improving success rate was the result of advances in micro-surgery coupled with better post-operative care. About 40,000 men a year undergo vasectomy, but with one in three marriages ending in divorce, increasing numbers are forming new relationships and wanting to have a second family. Miss Sullivan said: " The typical person

147 coming to us is a divorced man in his 30s or 40s who has remarried, often to a woman in her 20s, and wants to start a family. " We can not forecast the success of a reversal operation in an individual case, but we can now tell each patient that it is more likely the operation will succeed than fail (also temporariness)

Yet they get along. Indeed, many draw very high salaries, run profitable businesses, have satisfied clients, and some become millionaires. How is this possible if the art of persuasion is such a highly skilled task? The answer rests in what work is asked of public relations today. If such skills are not necessary for the campaigns wanted or the solutions needed, then why bother? This is changing fast, and clients are more and more wanting advice and action that calls for considerable finesse, knowledge, and intelligence. Those planning to enter public relations in the future will not be able to offer superficial solutions or thinking to any client. A quick look at just a few areas of today's public relations work confirms that prediction: Social issue pressure on manufacturers Post-industrial society and capitalism Vested interests and central legislation Social intervention and engineering tasks (also temporariness)

At one point he said he wanted something and DeFries said " No, you can't have it--; you don't have the money.

The associative process did not work with Rufus in quite the same way as it did with his erstwhile friend, Adam Verne-Smith, for Adam was an " arts " person and he a scientist, so that Greek or Spanish names, for instance, evoked none of it. Ecalpemos, after all, was not Greek and did not even sound so to Rufus who, unlike Adam, had not received a classical education. Nor was he neurotically sensitive about babies. It would hardly have done him much good in his professional life, where women were always wanting to know if they were having them or how to stop them or conceive them, if he had been. He had long ago got the whole business of Ecalpemos under tight control and lived in high hopes of never having to refer to it again in word or thought -- and then there had appeared this paragraph.

Feet also suffer from having a Latin derivation (pedes) which is rather similar to other classical roots. Etymologically, feet are thus associated with pedantry (vain pursuit of learning) or pederasty (sexual abuse of children). By using a Greek derivation, foot lovers could always describe themselves as podophiles. But at what price? They would soon be arrested for indulging in some pornographic practice when they were only wanting to wash one another's feet. It is indeed a hard slog for the podophile. Let me again reassure those who suspect feet washing is some weird fetish, akin to the activities of those who achieve a thrill from handling women's shoes. Feet are the real thing. They do not possess the seductive allure of other parts of the female anatomy.

Content theories are concerned with explaining those things which actually motivate people at work arising from needs, expectations and goals. If content theories are concerned with what motivates then process theories are concerned with how motivation works. They are therefore concerned with the variables which influence the initiation, direction and continuance of behaviour. The most widely used content models are those of Maslow and Herzberg. Maslow suggests that human needs operate in a hierarchy, that people are always wanting and expecting and so the satisfaction of one level of the hierarchy stimulates demand for the next level. Maslow's hierarchy has been traditionally represented as a pyramid (see Figure 5.7). There is a clear distinction between what might be termed " lower order " needs and " higher order " needs and the strength of the model is based upon one level becoming dominant as the subordinate need is satisfied.

He possessed a lovely long tail which swept right down to the ground and it was a lovely sight to see him turn round. Uncle was always wanting to have that tail cut shorter and we had quite a few battles about it, but I won and Prince kept his long tail. Because of his fine pedigree he was a little bit more highly strung than the others and would set off rather sharply.

One of the problems with the stream situation was that those pupils who found themselves in the bottom streams, who found that they were perhaps not regarded so highly or so positively by their teachers, tended to respond with misbehaviour in their classes, with occasionally vandalism around the school and generally a negative attitude towards the school and their teachers in general, and the immediate effect of the mixed ability grouping was to eradicate behavioural problems of that kind almost entirely. There were no longer groups of pupils in any one class who were against the school and were wanting to disrupt the teaching of their teachers and really problems were reduced to individuals in each class, one or two pupils, which didn't present the same massive problem to teachers as the bottom streamed groups have done previously.

They'd been designing tube amps for decades, and manufacturing them on site, whereas other companies were perhaps wanting to get into the tube amp market from scratch.

" She eased off her shoes and held her white stockinged feet to the blaze, spreading her toes and raising a smell of toasting cheese. " Ah... that's better. Been wanting to get them off for hours. Pinch me something shocking. " Phoebe Jarman stared at Jess with almost as much caution as Jess eyed her. She smiled slightly, a nervous smile that held kindliness. Jess didn't respond. She wasn't going to give her smiles away -- not till she'd fixed her position, and certainly not to an ugly pock-marked thing like Miss Phoebe with her beaky nose and whiskery chin... though she did have nice eyes.

Alice nodded, but she was examining him critically. She was finding him unimpressive. A stocky, stubby man. His hair, cut short, was flattened here and there, like an animal's fur when it is out of sorts. A stale breath came from him, sour, disordered, which was not only because he might have drunk too much. He should be watching his weight. " I am glad you dropped in, Comrade Alice. I have been wanting to talk things over with you. " Here he got up and went to the desk, to look for cigarettes, and stood with his back to her, going through the business of putting one in his mouth and lighting it.

It is not, then, surprising that Spartan indecision, so manifest in 446 and again in 440 over Samos (p. 46) should persist through the 430s. At the beginning of book in, when describing the revolt of Lesbos in 427, Thucydides says that the Lesbians " had been wanting to revolt even before the war, but the Spartans had been unwilling to receive them into alliance ". This shows a Spartan caution which is at variance with their previous bellicosity over Samos.

He said they would all be wanting to study the designs the minute Balor had cleared away breakfast and Bith at once reached for the knapsacks, and said he hoped Flaherty had not spilled jam on the drawing of the four-pronged diadem and Flaherty, injured, said indeed he had not and it the best damson jam he had ever tasted.

A tax on films helps redress the balance. Several applications of this general principle will be found in the ensuing chapters. The real world in which we live unfortunately provides us with several inevitable distortions. Given their existence, the argument of this section implies that the government may increase the overall efficiency of the whole economy by introducing new distortions to offset distortions that already exist. By now you will rightly be wanting to know the source of these inevitable distortions that the government should take action to offset. We now list the most important ones. 15–4 Market Failure We began by showing that in the absence of any distortions a freely competitive equilibrium would ensure allocative efficiency.

Register W_non_ac_soc_science who judge this too visionary, let me remind you of the line from the Psalmist: " Where there is no vision, the people perish. " Animal Welfare and the Environment: Are they always Compatible? David Wilkins The title of this chapter poses the question whether a straightforward animal welfare approach is necessarily compatible with the concept of protecting our environment. I make no apologies for concentrating on issues which in environmental terms could be considered as being relatively minor compared with some of the major problems facing us today. In posing these questions I am not necessarily wanting to provide the answers, and it may be that there are no simple answers to some of these questions. Protecting the environment means different things to different people, but in most cases it is the individual's own perception of what he or she wants from the environment. In other words it is a selfish conception and it is based on the individual's own experience. (also politeness, tentativeness)

Register W_religion funerals are conducted in twenty minutes at a busy crematorium with a bizarre queue of other funerals waiting in an approach way, and grieving people are expected to be back at their employment in as short a time as possible. Those who have been bereaved will say that they do not know how to behave as newly- bereaved people. It feels to them that a major event has changed their lives and yet people around them seem to be wanting them to forget it and " get on with things " as quickly as possible. Do people wear black any more? Are they expected to observe a period of mourning? If so how are they expected to change their lifestyle? How can they find out what is expected of them? -- or maybe nothing is. In some cultures the mourning period is very clearly established with a beginning phase

One might at least look to the best examples there may be today. Schüssler Fiorenza herself agrees that all early Christians shared an androcentric mind-set. Why then look to them? She comments that a postbiblical (sic) feminist stance " too quickly concedes that women have no authentic history within biblical religion ". But why (if it were not for the fact that one is a Christian) should one be wanting to stay with the experience of women within the biblical tradition? Schüssler Fiorenza however wants to suggest (as at times Trible does also) that we have in any case to live within -- and thus also we need to try to redeem -- the trajectory of biblical religion. " Western women ", she writes, " are not able to discard completely and forget our personal, cultural or religious Christian history.

Register W_religion given that in every age women have been mistreated at the hands of men, how much do present-day women really have in common with biblical women? The story of Ruth illuminates for me the unbridgeable difference, rather than the similarity, between her situation and mine. It is however a rather different criticism which I wish to bring to Trible's work, one which runs in parallel with my critique of Schüssler Fiorenza's work. Why, unless one is a Christian, should one be wanting to undertake such a re- reading? Indeed, in Trible's case, unless one is a conservative Christian who believes the text to be the word of God? If one is a fundamentalist Christian who believes the text to be inspired, then one sees why the text is alone to be interpreted in terms of the text.

We've approached this from a a slightly different angle and recognized that local planning experience within the county now and in the forthcoming district plans shows that there are going to be policies that restrict development in the open country. Therefore my clients would much rather deal with this at a strategic level than in individual district plans. But to do that we need to be sure that the policy is appropriate, does reflect national policy. As it stands the districts seem to be wanting their cake and eat it in that they would like er a policy restricting development in the open countryside but they don't want it to come with baggage that is specific which says what the exceptions should be.

Sometimes as adults if a child for instance asks the question " what is death " it is very easy to go into quite a long diatribe about life and death and get really profound, whereas in fact all a child may be wanting to know is how do you know if somebody's dead, how can you tell the difference between somebody being dead and somebody being asleep?

Demand that had been suppressed or masked by what the old Poor Law debates used to call " ineligibility " emerges as effective demand in proportion as, for example, custodial and institutional care is replaced by community care. The substitution is thus not only inherently costly, but it evokes increased demand or, if you like, creates increased need. Nevertheless, I should be wanting , as twenty years ago, to lean with all my weight in that direction. I should, again as twenty years ago, be the Chancellor of the Exchequer's best friend.

As Fitzgerald pointed out, the variability between books is tremendous: some books are fairly stable, but others vary enormously from section to section. If this is the case, would it not be preferable in certain instances to consider local readability as the population mean which interests us? If a book contains a number of chapters or sections, which may even have been written by different authors, of what value to us is the global population mean based on the average over all chapters? If we are wanting to consider the relationship between readability and comprehension for one particular topic or passage, then it would almost certainly be preferable to consider the local readability of that chapter or section. The issue of sampling adequacy does not arise if our analysis is based on the whole of the text under consideration. Fitzgerald's warnings apply to the difficulties of generalising about global readability

Pike have very sharp teeth so a wire trace has to be used to stop pike biting through the nylon. The pike's mouth also has no flesh in it so treble hooks are normally used to secure the fish is caught. Pike can grow very big up to around fifty pounds. Fly fishing is a more specific type of fishing. If you go fly fishing you are normally wanting to catch either trout or salmon. When fly fishing you use an artificially made fly. This is a hook which has material and feathers tied on to it. This attracts the fish to it and the fish tries to eat it. Fly fishing is more of an achievement if you tie your own flies because you have tricked the fish yourself.

But unfortunately unless this restraint is very clear and firmly upheld children will rapidly learn, by making a great scene, particularly in public, that they can get their own way. Some parents can not bear to see children cry and try to avoid this at all events, others may be erratic and inconsistent in their controls. This can happen in the closest of relationships when the parent is wanting to be caring and kind but realizes that some limits need to be set. They find difficulty in confronting their child and want to avoid tears and battles but feel angry about the child's constant and insistent demands (Douglas and Richman 1984).

Charles's birth was registered fairly late in the day: a certificate wasn't issued until 3 October, by which time Elizabeth was pregnant for the fifth and last time. If they were wishing for a girl by then, their prayers were answered: Emily Jane was born in Penton Street on 31 May 1857. Father was then 42, mother thirty-five. Over the next few years, as the children grew up, Benjamin and Elizabeth began amassing their typical Victorian store of family mementoes.

It was a disastrous night for Andy Roxburgh's men, despite the fact that they went in at half-time all square at 1-1. Gough got his marching orders from Dutch referee Mario Van Der Ende when he caught the ball during a devastating Swiss assault. The day had started in farce when keeper Andy Goram somehow lost his passport on Scotland's team coach. Only hurried negotiations between the Scots and the 231

British Embassy produced the necessary clearance papers in time for the keeper to play. And within two minutes of this Group One clash, Goram must have been wishing his accreditation hadn't come through. Swiss midfielder was allowed to run hard at the Scottish rearguard, forcing Gough to concede a corner. Sutter took the kick himself and Adrian Knup rose unchallenged to head down and past the stranded Goram. But Ally McCoist put the Scots back in the game when he hit his 13th international goal in the 13th minute. (also duration)

Instead, you end up handing over the wonderful chunky sweater you bought only last week -- and a selection of his favourite paperbacks. The ladies and gentlemen who deliver those little charity envelopes make you feel even worse. They're giving up their valuable time to help others. And what are you doing? Wishing that they'd buzz off and leave you to watch Bergerac. And just to rub it in, while you're being impatient and grumpy they're always cheerful and chatty -- despite the freezing cold and the pouring rain.

Joe looked at his mother and there came into his mind a thought that wasn't new: his mother didn't like Martin; she liked Harry but not Martin; and Martin didn't like her. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. the sky was high, the air so clear that he imagined he could see to the ends of the earth. He was sitting with Mick at the top of a hill and he was wishing with a deep desire that he could remain in time, this present time, forever. Somehow he always had this feeling when he was with Mick. Mick made him feel rested: his brain didn't churn and ask questions when he was with Mick. Mostly he listened; not that Mick talked a lot, but when he did everything he said seemed to have meaning.

Mr Giles of Grimethorpe Motors has been advertising with us for two years and he is delighted with the results. 5.4.3 THE STRAIGHT DENIAL This method has to be handled with a great deal of care since the danger is that it will result in exactly the kind of antagonism which the salesperson is wishing to avoid. However it can be used when the buyer is clearly seeking factual information. For example: BUYER: I expect that this upholstery will be difficult to clean. SALESPERSON: No, Mr Buyer, absolutely not.

I have quotations from your competitors which are much lower. " The salesperson's response depends upon his level of confidence. He can call his bluff and ask to see the quotations; he can take the initiative by stating that he assumes the buyer is wishing for him to justify his price; or, if flushed with the confidence of past success, he can say " Then I advise you to accept one of them. " 5.6 CLOSING THE SALE The skills and techniques discussed so far are not, in themselves, sufficient for consistent sales success.

Although in general the evidence suggests that it is usually the man's retirement that provokes most friction, this may change as more of today's working wives turn sixty and find themselves facing the same need to make difficult adjustments.

We also need to be aware that local government exists within a wider network of quangos, agencies and voluntary organisations (see Rhodes, 1988). More importantly, local government exists within the context 255 of central government domination. Within each level of government we may find competing tensions inherent in the relationships between the different sectors. Thus, for example, within local government there appears to be an increasing tendency to move towards a more decentralised service provision and organisational structure; at the next level of government the centre may be wishing to increase its control over what local government does. A second dimension that we need to be aware of is one of organisational change and the reasons for it. We can ask " Why are new departments created? " or " Why are old ones abolished? " and " Why are new methods of working introduced? (also a matter of course)

His life would take him far away from Bray's Buildings as the years went by, searching for adventure on the high seas, visiting in reality places his parents could only have dreamed of. Charles's birth was registered fairly late in the day: a certificate wasn't issued until 3 October, by which time Elizabeth was pregnant for the fifth and last time. If they were wishing for a girl by then, their prayers were answered: Emily Jane was born in Penton Street on 31 May 1857. Father was then 42, mother thirty-five. Over the next few years, as the children grew up, Benjamin and Elizabeth began amassing their typical Victorian store of family mementoes. Chief amongst these would be the photographs which could be displayed in ornate frames for all to see, or tucked away more discreetly in leather-bound, gilt-edged albums. (also emotional colouring)

The half shades are lovely, so fragile: the sustained A natural in the closing bars sounds almost imagined. My only misgivings are in the finale, " Socrates ". The arrival of " Alcibiades " with his partying revellers is a bit of an 261 anticlimax -- a touch jaded rhythmically, almost as if Boughton and his crew were rather wishing that Bernstein's Greeks had been philosophers first and swingers second. But the nature of the sound, the churchy acoustic doesn't help. We really need to pull some focus on all that percussion and generally tighten up the imaging. At times like this, the Nimbus philosophy comes quite literally adrift. Sample first, then, if the coupling is irresistible.

Instead of the rather fearful, literal adherence to object that underlies attitudes to sculpture today there was still then an optimism and faith in the unknown. It hadn't been discovered yet. Science fiction offered theoretical adventure and telling parallels; travel in space was seen as a possible metaphor for earth preoccupations. Ideas about representing the structure of energy and movement were sought through experimentation with new materials and light. Lijn's desire to merge or melt the difference between the visual and aural senses came at a time when many artists were wishing to anticipate a more holistic view of art. The early Machines, revived, rediscovered and about to be displayed by the book section of the Victoria and Albert Museum, are simple. Each is driven by an electric fan belt.

Only hurried negotiations between the Scots and the British Embassy produced the necessary clearance papers in time for the keeper to play. And within two minutes of this Group One clash, Goram must have been wishing his accreditation hadn't come through. Swiss midfielder Alain Sutter was allowed to run hard at the Scottish rearguard, forcing Gough to concede a corner. Sutter took the kick himself and Adrian Knup rose unchallenged to head down and past the stranded Goram. But Ally McCoist put the Scots back in the game when he hit his 13th international goal in the 13th minute. (also emotional colouring)

I felt really good a few pounds lighter and with a tan, and I wanted to stay like that and surprise everyone when I got back, especially my boyfriend, who might have been wishing I was thinner. Half of me wanted to " wow " everyone with how good I looked -- show them I could do it, be thin if I wanted -- but half of me also wanted them not to notice.

Though she was wishing that, after all, she'd taken a seat, for she suspected he was rather enjoying letting her stew in her own juice.

Thus, for example, within local government there appears to be an increasing tendency to move towards a more decentralised service provision and organisational structure; at the next level of government the centre may be wishing to increase its control over what local government does.

Is cloze procedure an appropriate measure of comprehension? In the 1960s, cloze procedure came to be seen by some researchers as the answer to many of the problems of validly measuring text difficulty. Bormuth's landmark study (1969) seemed to offer the promise not only of more valid formulae which would incorporate the results of new insights in linguistics, but also a means of readily assessing whether a person was understanding a text or not. The mean percentage correct cloze score (i.e., the percentage of deleted words correctly replaced by the reader) appeared to give an indication of how well a passage was understood. Thus, a cloze score of 60 per cent would indicate fairly full comprehension, 45 per cent would suggest some problems, while 35 per cent would suggest that a reader was at his or her frustration level. Recently, however, this view has been called into question.

It is more difficult to understand the senseless vandalism that goes on in comparatively affluent areas. I wonder if it is because the prevailing attitude to life in the Eighties in Britain seems to be to look after number one, to get on, to make money, and not to bother about anyone else? I remember years ago, when I was teaching slow learners in a Child Guidance clinic, a little girl from a small village was reading a story in which reference was made to someone " cheeking the dinner lady. " To assess whether she was understanding what she read, I asked, " Does that happen at your school? " She looked quite shocked and replied, " Oh no! It's Mrs Thomas. " I thought that was very significant: you may cheek a dinner lady, but you don't do so to someone you know and respect. If we could get to know one another better, we might have better relationships generally. I do think the artificial division of people into age groups has a damaging effect on society.

I said that it is a familiar theory. On second thoughts, it might be better to say that it goes without saying that linguistic communication is a matter of conveying ideas or thoughts. For when what goes without saying, especially the bit about translating thoughts into spoken or written signs and then back again, is actually said, it begins to lose its air of obviousness. In fact, it begins to look very much like a piece of a priori theorising about how language works. People may say that understanding something, as you are 282 now understanding what I have written, involves interpretation, that is, translating something linguistic, a sentence, into something non-linguistic, a thought; but they do not say it because they have found they actually have to do any such translating. Rather, they say it because they think it must be like that. It must be like that, they think, because what is said, or written' is not intrinsically meaningful. It is really just sounds in the air, or marks on paper. (also stylistic, rhetorical reasons)

It follows from causalism and functionalism, seemingly absurdly, that our private visual experience is identical. (iii) Suppose I do not understand Chinese, but, solely on the basis of the shapes of the letters, and rules connecting them merely as shapes, do the right things. For example, I pass through a sequence of states identical to one passed through by a native Chinese speaker in being presented with a question in Chinese and giving the answer in Chinese. It follows, on causalist and functionalist views, that I am understanding Chinese, which again seems absurd. (iv) Differently, it seems difficult to accept that consciousness is tolerably conceived when it is so conceived that it follows that anything that can be regarded as passing through certain sequences of causal or logical states is conscious.

I said that it is a familiar theory. On second thoughts, it might be better to say that it goes without saying that linguistic communication is a matter of conveying ideas or thoughts. For when what goes without saying, especially the bit about translating thoughts into spoken or written signs and then back again, is actually said, it begins to lose its air of obviousness. In fact, it begins to look very much like a piece of a priori theorising about how language works. People may say that understanding something, as you are now understanding what I have written, involves interpretation, that is, translating something linguistic, a sentence, into something non-linguistic, a thought; but they do not say it because they have found they actually have to do any such translating. Rather, they say it because they think it must be like that. It must be like that, they think, because what is said, or written' is not intrinsically meaningful. It is really just sounds in the air, or marks on paper. (also the moment of speaking)

The same is true of presuppositions and conclusions. Find out what the person in doubt is believing wrongly and help him to follow the logic of these presuppositions to their necessary conclusion. Challenge him to check the full- blown consequences of his ideas to see where they lead. He will then see that his views are both wrong and unchristian.

After all, how do we know that our own picture of Jesus is necessarily right, especially when we realize that we too bring assumptions to faith? Perhaps we are more shortsighted than we think? Perhaps what we believe today is no better than the Sunday-school notions we were forced to discard yesterday and is different to us only because we are believing it today? Will today's faith look as embarrassing if we look back on it tomorrow? The train of thought that begins like this is as slippery as an eel, and the only effective way to catch it is to examine the truth of the matter. This is the only test -- to unleash doubt on doubts, to examine the matter and to see where the truth lies.

Jesus the Liberator, Jesus the Soul Man, Jesus the Blessed Master, Jesus the revolutionary, Jesus the archetypal poor man, Jesus the Great Prophet. The array is bewildering and the effect is numbing. After all, how do we know that our own picture of Jesus is necessarily right, especially when we realize that we too bring assumptions to faith? Perhaps we are more shortsighted than we think? Perhaps what we believe today is no better than the Sunday-school notions we were forced to discard yesterday and is different to us only because we are believing it today? Will today's faith look as embarrassing if we look back on it tomorrow? The train of thought that begins like this is as slippery as an eel, and the only effective way to catch it is to examine the truth of the matter. This is the only test -- to unleash doubt on doubts, to examine the matter and to see where the truth lies.

But none of it made any difference. She could not trust God, and in the bitterness of doubt her spirit was like darkness at noon. The doubts of these two people were entirely different, but they were both doubting God for the same reason: they did not know God as he really is. The man, however, knew that he did not know, while the girl thought that she did. Her picture of God (which came from experiences in the past) was so distorted that without realizing it she was believing a grotesque caricature of God which for sanity's sake she was forced at the same time to doubt. Fortunately, she is not in that position today. She has come to know God as he is, she is able to trust him, and her whole life reflects the difference.

" Comrade Rakowski (the party leader) set the precedent for this by allowing some foreign journalists into the last meeting of the Central Committee, " he explained nervously. The Opole meeting was dominated by elderly party members, who refused to talk about such problems as names, new programmes, and new membership laws. " I want to talk about socialism, " said one. " This new government, what is it doing? Is it realising the socialist ideals that we stood for? Before I joined the party 46 years ago, there wasn't even a paved road from Lublin to Warsaw. " Throughout the day, Mr Springer diligently took notes, nodding when members complained that the Communists had no economic programme to match Solidarity's, and when others questioned the acceptance of privatisation.

Although the piece was a well balanced probe into the Phoenix career (and an immensely interesting career it is too), one was left with the feeling that she wouldn't have been there had it not been for the status of her interviewer. Just how Morrissey will come to terms with this problem is a matter for some speculation. Maybe he is content just to pay tribute to his personal media icons. Maybe he is merely realising the ambitions of a fan. " We are the best band in the world. There is nobody better. " (Andy Rourke.) " We are the only truly controversial band of the eighties.

Take a daily walk in the park and breathe deeply. These precious moments of breathing in the scents of grass, trees and flowers will help to bring about a state of harmony to a bustling mind and jangled nervous system. SPIRIT One way of defining the spiritual aspect of " self " is to say it is our purpose for living. Without purpose, we become depressed or apathetic; life then appears bleak and meaningless. Even when we do not follow a conscious spiritual path in terms of a religious faith, we may in fact be realising our purpose in some other way. It could be through an art-form or simply by a love of nature. Or more actively perhaps, by working towards the realisation of a humanitarian ideal. MIND-BODY-SPIRIT If you are experiencing difficulty in any of the key areas of life listed below, the chances are that you are not experiencing whole health.

Sixty years on and the market has grown considerably. The research company Mintel estimates that the business-to-business incentives and promotions market alone is worth a staggering £1.32 billion, while the Institute of Sales Promotion values overall expenditure at over £7 billion. The magazine Campaign reckons that sales promotion agencies are outperforming every other marketing services sector. The errant child of the mid 1980s, says Campaign, has now ascended to near the top of the marketing class. While manufacturers were perceived as the traditional users of sales promotion, now retailers and financial institutions are realising that these techniques can help build business. As Steve Bevan, editor of Sales Promotion magazine says: " Companies are now using sales promotion on a more strategic basis, ensuring it ties in with an overall brand strategy. Sales promotion used to be the preserve of the junior brand manager but now companies are beginning to understand the importance of trade and consumer promotions.

How did the dominant social, economic and cultural forces affect the way they lived their lives? To use a single but important example, it is the difference between looking at the Great War as an event which centred around the policies and machinations of politicians and generals, or one which impinged upon the lives of ordinary people. Lloyd George and Kitchener have their biographies; yet those who experienced most directly the turmoil, disruption and loss of the war have their information locked within their memory. Historians are increasingly realizing that if the experience of older people is not sought we are in danger of losing a unique individual insight into the times and events they report, and one which will die with them unless recorded (Thompson, 1978). Both viewpoints are important in a historical context, but not in counselling. Most younger counsellors will have learnt about the war from texts, films and documentaries based essentially on the political view of history.

The Female Eunuch itself begins. Even in Rowbotham's account, conflicting ideas about identity are contained within an individual subject who decides rationally what roles to adopt in particular contexts, and historically determined learning processes operate on an original, ultimately biological, subject. Western feminists' growing interest in differences between women is strengthening their awareness of the need for a more complex view of socialization. Such a view would go beyond the domestic, individualized, " race " -- and class-specific sphere in which feminists have often assumed all women learn to live. Feminists are also realizing that a rejection of biology can, paradoxically, increase the influence of biological determinism. As Rowbotham says, a " defensive denial of actual difference left the way wide open for a crude and mechanical reduction of feminine potential to the body " (1973: 1 1). Paying attention to biology need not involve assuming that biology makes fixed contributions to psychology (Hirst and Wooley 1982), or even that all biological discourses are the same.

" What I do have a need for, your Lordship, is your reason for contacting me. " " So business-like ", he murmured, moving his hand up to my thigh.

As Steve Bevan, editor of Sales Promotion magazine says: " Companies are now using sales promotion on a more strategic basis, ensuring it ties in with an overall brand strategy. Sales promotion used to be the preserve of the junior brand manager but now companies are beginning to understand the importance of trade and consumer promotions. They are briefing consultancies sooner and are doing so at a more senior level. (also change of meaning)

Liverpool have been putting hard-tackling left-back Stig Bjorbye through his paces at Anfield, while members of Norway's Under-21 side who beat England last month have been on trial at Leeds, Sheffield United, Oldham and Forest. Spurs keeper Erik Thorstvedt says English clubs are suddenly realising there are bargains galore in Norway. " It's becoming a craze, " he said. " I think being in England's group has a lot to do with it.

I want to emphasise that if the acute care of myocardial infarction is to be effective, it has to be very acute care. Adequate resuscitation facilities must be provided and taken to the patient; in particular this applies to defibrillation. Many people worry about the imagined complexity of defibrillators. There has been a fascinating increase of interest over the last year by general practitioners in the use of defibrillators. There is no new data to encourage this, but it is due to the concern about the acute care of myocardial infarction being heightened by thrombolytic therapy. People are realising what particularly the Belfast group has been preaching for years, that early availability of resuscitation is tremendously important. Pain relief is important in myocardial infarction, but let that not be an excuse for filling a patient with opiates and then forgetting about him for the next 2 hours as he quietly rots his myocardium in some corner of the accident and emergency department. Pain relief is essential, but I would like my thrombolytic therapy as well.

Considering that in Tamanrasset in the Sahara people are prepared to pay water sellers $1 a litre (or $1000/m3), photovoltaics are already economically feasible. However, according to Peter Fraenkel of IT Power, existing systems need to be more reliable. Solar power introduces another step where breakdowns can occur, but the cost of maintenance is far lower than with diesel pumps. Diesel pumps need daily attention: starting up, checking oil levels, and so on. However, Fraenkel says engineers are realising that wind power is more immediately cost-effective for pumping groundwater. " If wind speeds are over 3m per second then it's crazy to think of anything else. " Inadequacies of design soon reveal themselves in even the simplest of hand-dug water wells. If the edges of the well are not protected, the well head becomes a pool of mud and a cycle of parasitic infections, such as guinea worm and hookworm, quickly develops between people and water.

Historians are increasingly realizing that if the experience of older people is not sought we are in danger of losing a unique individual insight into the times and events they report, and one which will die with them unless recorded (Thompson, 1978). Both viewpoints are important in a historical context, but not in counselling. Most younger counsellors will have learnt about the war from texts, films and documentaries based essentially on the political view of history.

The Female Eunuch itself begins. Even in Rowbotham's account, conflicting ideas about identity are contained within an individual subject who decides rationally what roles to adopt in particular contexts, and historically determined learning processes operate on an original, ultimately biological, subject. Western feminists' growing interest in differences between women is strengthening their awareness of the need for a more complex view of socialization. Such a view would go beyond the domestic, individualized, " race " -- and class-specific sphere in which feminists have often assumed all women learn to live. Feminists are also realizing that a rejection of biology can, paradoxically, increase the influence of biological determinism. As Rowbotham says, a " defensive denial of actual difference left the way wide open for a crude and mechanical reduction of feminine potential to the body " (1973: 1 1). Paying attention to biology need not involve assuming that biology makes fixed contributions to psychology (Hirst and Wooley 1982), or even that all biological discourses are the same.

The much smaller amount of work on older women represents them as in mourning for the same psychological characteristics. For feminists, the marginality of young and old women's lives is a greater focus of concern. They are interested in the experiences of these age groups, and often conduct their own quasi-psychological studies, recording individual young and old women's accounts of their lives and feelings. Some feminist psychologists too are realizing that age may have important influences on gender. Self-esteem, though not significantly different between women and men throughout childhood and early adulthood, may decrease later in women's lives, for instance. Feminists are also starting to investigate specific characteristics of younger and older female subjects, like girls' strong and prolonged cross-sex identification, and older women's childcare skills.

Means testing was expensive, clumsy and time-wasting. With children constantly moving between evacuation and reception areas, endless administrative problems arose. By February 1940 Board of Education officials were realising the futility of trying to operate pre-war means tests: for example, it might be difficult to trace the parents of an evacuated child. The London County Council had found that it simply was not worth trying to recover the cost of milk from the 25% of London parents whose income was high enough to make them liable for the full billeting contribution, since " the few pounds they had succeeded in recovering over a period of several months were far less than the cost of its collection ".

A new and distinctive chapter was opening in relationships between the masses, more numerous, more literate, and better organized than ever before, and middle-class organizations and agencies who were realizing more urgently than ever before that new initiatives were needed to bridge the great abyss of class. This new era which opened the century in both Britain and America was to be characterized by an increased politicization of the city as political parties widened their hold, by an increased interest in every aspect of city life, and by increased regulation through (also emotional colouring and change of meaning)

By October the Communist attitude had softened in the light of the pact of Unity between the Socialists and Communists in France. The Communist Party was preparing to take advantage of the strong reaction to Nazism which was sweeping the Left. Local Communist Parties were authorized to approach their Labour Parties in an attempt to make electoral agreements, and in the November 1934 Municipal elections the bulk of Communist candidates were withdrawn in favour of the Labour Party. The negotiations between representatives of the two Internationals had made top-level agreements acceptable 351 tactics. The Communists were realizing the possibility of forming alliances with the national leadership of other Left-Wing parties. Piatnitsky wrote, early in November: The united front from below must remain the basic form of the Communist united front tactics. However this must not mean that the application of the united front from above is thereby excluded from our activities.

I did my best. Certain information asked for, I simply did not have. I could see there was more work looming. In the midst of life I was unquestionably in the midst of death. There were requests for interviews from journalists. Two correspondents wanted to write plays -- one for TV and the other radio. A third fancied a documentary reconstruction, and the more the publicity, the more the letters came thumping onto the mat. A centre spread in the Evening Standard brought a new cascade. People were realizing that they had a choice. Central Television came and made an interview/ documentary film for their weekly current affairs programme Central Lobby, during the course of which I was seen driving around the neighbourhood, first preceding and then followed by the camera crew. It was useless to protest that the coffin fitted comfortably into the car with the back door closed. " We can't see it like that, Jane, " I was told. (also change of meaning)

Register W_misc more than any other factor, has hastened the decline of the spinner, a decline that has been hugely to the game's detriment; and with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of young speed men reaching the Test team and creating further successes, there is little sign that the decline might be halted. One of the attractions of the game has always been its diversity, and, whatever success they bring, a relentless stream of fast bowlers ultimately becomes boring. By the time of the 1988 tour of England, there were signs that the fans were realizing this, for Test attendances were well down on those of the 1984 tour. Admittedly, the weather was worse, English fortunes were at a low ebb, and the higher charges may well have deterred many people, especially the Caribbean fans; but one suspects that some thousands of people simply could not face the prospect of yet another day almost entirely given over to fast bowling. Lloyd captained West Indies 74 times, winning 36 and losing just 12, and he twice won the Prudential World Cup.

They had faith, their faith was in themselves and in bailing out, and they couldn't bail quick enough, and so their faith was not realizing anything it was n't producing the goods.

Mala's vigorous snort stirred up a few echoes, but no one looked around. And I felt a bit rankled. Unassuming? Inexpensive? The condescension was beginning to go too far. So was the Emissary, whose airy wave had brought his hand finally to rest, with elabarate casualness, on my knee. I shifted minutely. " What I do have a need for, your Lordship, is your reason for contacting me. " " So business-like ", he murmured, moving his hand up to my thigh. I was by then realizing something that had eluded me before, about the fleeing nymphs. All that slim, rounded, unclothed flesh I'd seen -- from the back -- had not been girl flesh. I could also see that Mala was near to exploding, which might have been disastrous. You don't want to antagonize rich and powerful Emissaries, especially not on their own ship in deep space.
