...from their surroundings. “You cannot be unaffected by culture and history,” he says. “The social context and the physical context play into this building.”Hartman worked to integrate the Northwest Science Building into both Harvard and the larger community of Cambridge visually as well as socially. “On Harvard’s campus you see a lot of brick and a fair amount of wood. Our intention here was to use wood in a way to bring warmth to the aesthetic of the building...
...slight change can just barely be detected. Now, the band appears to be content catering to a larger, potentially more-discerning audience. Though the notion of creating popular music may be the bane of some artists’ careers, TV on the Radio finds nothing wrong with bridging the gap between the masses and the critics...

Actually, no. The Russell Sage Foundation published the most authoritative work on the gender wage gap in 2006, The Declining Significance of Gender?.

Women employed full-time actually...

By joining Iran in the so-called "Islamic resistance" against Israel, Assad associated the Alawites with a cause larger than themselves. It was not unlike the '60s and '70s when Syria backed radical Palestinian groups - and fought Israel head-on in 1967 and 1973. The 18-year war in Lebanon (1982-2000) decisively undercut the Muslim Brothers' charge that the Alawites were apostate traitors and dupes of Israel and the United States. Had the Muslim Brothers continued to kill Alawites, they would have been...
