...Harvard’s system of general education should emphasize methodology over topic because methods are harder to teach and learn than facts. Facts become easier to absorb by one’s self once one has a handle on methods. Harvard students can learn facts about the United Nations Security Council or the Federal Reserve Board from the New York Times or Wikipedia, but they cannot learn the tools to make sense of these institutions so readily. As students learn to think rigorously about society and how to use data to test their thoughts, they acquire...

Aside from giving relief to the thousands of decent folk who also claim themselves as inhabitants of New Haven, you should come with a further assurance: Cambridge is prepared to absorb your stench in exchange for the joy of seeing your faces as the mighty Crimson emasculates the demure—at best—Bulldog for the sixth consecutive year...
First Minister Jack W. McConnell instituted the “Fresh Talent” initiative in 2004 to attract young people to Scotland to live and work in order to calm the forever-growing paranoia of declining population and increasing age demographic.

...pathway moves sugar from the hollow part of the intestine (lumen) to its lining (epithelium) through the villi. Sugar makes the salt absorption more efficient, and salt promotes water's absorption into the capillary-rich intestinal walls. Intestinal Villi Tiny finger-like projections in the small intestine's lining absorb fluid and nutrients into the blood through the capillary-rich layer beneath the epithelium. From there, water is carried away in blood to other parts of the body where it is needed, correcting the imbalance and rehydrating the victim. Deaths Worldwide there are 1.9 million deaths in children under...
