Cut flowers.
'The great appear great, because we are on our knees. Let us rise!,' wrote Larkin. Jean Faugier ( 1 ) described the 'tall poppy syndrome' and spoke of 'bold, nonconformist', brightly- coloured flowers being chopped down mercilessly by farmers just because they were different and stood above the rest in the wheatfields.
متن کاملThe North/South Divide in NGO Hyperlink Networks
Globalization and communication scholars have argued that technology is transforming the ‘‘third sector’’, the set of organizations that are not-for-profit and non-governmental (NGOs). This research examines the local and global linkages among a hyperlink network of 248 HIV/AIDS NGOs. This research examines the north/south NGO divide in the context of these new technology-based associations. Re...
متن کاملDivide-And-Conquer Computation of Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition
We present a divide-and-conquer version of the Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) algorithm. The algorithm represents the input as a Boolean combination of subformulas, computes cylindrical algebraic decompositions of solution sets of the subformulas, and combines the results using the algorithm first introduced in [34]. We propose a graph-based heuristic to find a suitable partitioning ...
متن کاملEgg Eviction Imposes a Recoverable Cost of Virulence in Chicks of a Brood Parasite
BACKGROUND Chicks of virulent brood parasitic birds eliminate their nestmates and avoid costly competition for foster parental care. Yet, efforts to evict nest contents by the blind and naked common cuckoo Cuculus canorus hatchling are counterintuitive as both adult parasites and large older cuckoo chicks appear to be better suited to tossing the eggs and young of the foster parents. METHODOL...
متن کاملCoin Tossing is Weaker than Bit Commitment
We define cryptographic assumptions applicable to two mistrustful parties who each control two or more separate secure sites. We show that, under these assumptions, unconditionally secure coin tossing can be carried out by exchanges of classical information. We show also, following Mayers, Lo and Chau, that unconditionally permanently secure bit commitment cannot be carried out by finitely many...
