Western states have jumped ahead on climate change in part because the effects of global warming seem more obvious out in the country. City dwellers can insulate themselves from changing weather patterns, but Montanans, who live much of their lives outdoors, feel when the climate is changing. "No matter what their education level, they know the winters are getting warmer," says Schweitzer. "Our forests are dying - in the summer they burn. People see this...

Shahriyar may see Shahrazad as the vessel of all earthly knowledge and heavenly splendor, but that notion has walked hand-in-hand with more obvious forms of sexism for centuries. One should also consider that al-Hakim once wrote a manifesto in which he declared himself to be “an enemy of woman.” Still, there is something to be said for remaining faithful to a playwright’s own vision, and Malik and company seem to have done that to best of their ability...

That seems obvious, but few churches take the time to point and shoot. So insurers and investigators must find other ways to keep track of religious paintings and icons. Ecclesiastical Insurance, a company based in Gloucester, England, that insures 97% of the churches in the U.K., has given free Alpha-Dot kits to all its customers.

...clearly enough the connection and the link between your resume and your record and what that means for them? I think it was a little of that, Karen, but I think it was also that it is important in today's very concentrated media environment where most people will obviously never meet you personally, but get to know you through that lens - to do more to convey what I believe I have always conveyed personally, in my relationships with people and the work that I have done.
