...never very popular in the first place. That's the case for Segway, the maker of the futuristic two-wheeled "personal transporter" that was supposed to revolutionize how we all get around. Except the Segway being recalled happens to be the company's flagship product, and the limited scope of the recall shows once and for all- as suspected by pretty much anyone with a pair of eyes and a passing interest in the device-how relatively few of the brilliantly designed if impractical machines have actually been sold...
...literacy and numeracy”, whatever the hell that means. In particular, Science B takes on the biological, evolutionary, and environmental end of things. While the classes are often too broad to allow for any kind of in-depth study (“That’s outside the scope of the course” is an ‘answer’ you’ll come to expect from your TF), the subject matter is often fascinating enough to serve as a jumping-off point to further exploration in the sciences.

The right tactic to defeat it was not conventional warfare but tedious intelligence work--monitoring telephone calls, tracking financial transactions, shadowing suspects, infiltrating cells...
...conservatives fear such an arrangement would be a Trojan horse, setting up an even larger national health-care program and taking more business from the private sector. Congress has no plans to enlarge the scope of veterans' health care--much less consider it a model for, say, a government-run system serving nonvets. But it's becoming more and more "ideologically inconvenient for some to have such a stellar health-delivery system being run by the government," says Margaret O'Kane, president of the National Committee for Quality Assurance, which rates health plans for businesses and individuals.
