That hypothesis certainly supports the human tendency toward reflexive imitation, a term coined in the 18th century by Adam Smith to describe the psychological act of putting yourself in someone else's shoes and experiencing their feelings - you wouldn't do that unless you were after some sort of social bond. Some years later, in 1999, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published an influential paper showing how socially bonding the act of mimicking can be, even when people aren't aware they're being imitated. In the study, psychologists Tanya Chartrand, who is now at Duke, and John...
...that chapter was the one about time. I wrote another book awhile ago about infinity, and they both have the same sort of effect. When you start thinking about what time is, you can get in a bit of state where you think, "Hey, I'm losing it here," - because you cannot think outside of time. Time is part of how we experience the universe. Trying to think of before there was time, well, you're already in trouble because you're thinking "before," which is a way of measuring time.

The flavor development is totally different from cheddar that you would, say, grate on an omelet. It's drier, more crumbly and the flavor is nutty. It has a lot of caramelized toffee...
Assuming he stays out of the ICC's reach, al-Bashir faces a public trial of a different sort next year: a presidential election. Insiders say he wants to step down but that those around him want him to stay for another term. "Political work in Sudan, as I see it, is not a comfortable task," he said. "It is tiring, exhausting and with great responsibilities. I used to tell some Presidents whose periods had ended that the best thing is to be a 'former President' - someone who is respected, appreciated and without any responsibilities." Andrew Natsios...
