Said another way, the choice - differentiation - decentralization approach (and the animus it engenders) seems to be education's chapter in the story I mentioned at
the very start of this talk.

This is the next great challenge for Beijing, and when the regulators finally do
start to repair overextended balance sheet, with a much higher debt - to - GDP ratio than any other country at China's stage
of economic development, according to a presentation Monday night by my
very smart former student, Chen Long, I expect annual GDP growth rates will continue dropping steadily, by 1 - 2 percentage points a year through the rest
of this decade (and there has been increasing
talk in the past month or two that GDP growth rates are already 1 - 2 points below the printed rates).

of Jesus were.
its a story that has been with us since we
started talking and asking questions... however, the time has come since we can now answer many
of the
very same questions that required a god in the past with science, a bigger question arises... are people truly this willing and wanting to replace reality proven by testible science with a fantasy?

There was
talk of him being involved in first team before the
start of the season but has been injured only just comeing back but
very good.
I'm pointing out that all this «sample size» and «it's early» and «stop being negative»
talk is ignoring
very real problems with this team because people don't want to believe that maybe, just maybe, the expectations were too high at the
start of the season.
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety
of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style
of play has become a shadow
of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out
of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players,
very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid
of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out
of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes
of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play
of Monreal, but none
of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio
of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part
of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part
of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature
of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player
of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out
of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front
of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular
starting eleven; I would say that,
of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract
talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one
of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one
of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already
of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs
of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack
of mobility is an albatross around the necks
of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best
starting 11, I don't have a clue because
of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
Bas Dost, not really
talked about, but he struck 16 times in 17
starts from just 43 shots in the Bundesliga last year, he is
very tall,
very good in the air and showed ruthlessness in front

start playing Jack Wilshere in the deep lying holding midfield role that he has

1996/7 was his first (part season) where he formally took over at (If I can recall correctly) around mid-late October.We had actually
started the season fairly well with Pat Rice holding the reins until Wengers contract was up in Japan.And that was following a particularly bad run
of pre season results I remember.Anyway you will recall we qualified for the UEFA CUP with a late Bergkamp screamer (oh how I worshipped that player) against Bolton.Were we pleased with this?Absolutely we were.You could see the progression in the team and with
talk of more top players arriving we were all
very encouraged and dare I say it?
I know mertesacker has been
very poor and is not probably not the right person to be
talking about our form but what he said is right, it's like our players are
starting to see some
of the flaws in the way we play, our tactics and our formations.
Given the two clubs involved in the transfer
talk, it will undoubtedly be a
very difficult decision for the 22 - year - old to make if he has intentions
of leaving Germany to
start a fresh challenge as playing for Guardiola or Barca is a dream for many.
Picture this, we don't come out
of the gate firing on all cylinders, Wenger speaks
of how there wasn't enough time for the first - teamers to build chemistry, several key players aren't even playing because
of Wenger's utterly ridiculous policy regarding players who played in the Confed Cup or the under21s and the boo - birds have returned in full flight... if these things were to happen, which is quite possible considering the Groundhog Day mentality
of this club, how long do you think it will take for Wenger to recant his earlier statements regarding Europa... I would suggest that it's these sorts
of comments from Wenger which are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even
started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his
starting 11 will be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious
talking point considering how many times his own words have come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he's more than slightly infuriated by the
very idea
of having to answer to the likes
of you and me... that might have been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans were rewarded with an scintillating brand
of football and success felt like a forgone conclusion, but this new Wenger led team barely resembles that team
of ore... whereas in times past we relished a few words from our seemingly cerebral manager, in recent times those words have been replaced by a myriad
of excuses, a plethora
of infuriating stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only be construed as outright fabrications... it's kind
of funny that when we want some answers, like during the whole contract debacle
of last season, we can't get an intelligent word out
of him, but when we just what him to show his managerial acumen through his actions, we can't seem to get him to shut - up... I beg you to prove me wrong Arsene
If anyone is silly enough to take anything that Wenger says at face value then you have been in a coma for the better part
of 10 years or simply a season ticket holder that gladly renews each year in May when the
talking heads from corporate Arsenal
start their usual blather about the transfer market and the inevitable success that lies ahead... stop
talking Wenger and
start doing the
very things you and the rest
of the suits keep spewing each and every year... just imagine how amazing this squad would be if we even did half the things that Gazidis claimed we would or if Wenger found a way to sign even a third
of the players he said he could... that's exactly what Arsenal has become a «would have» «could have» club
And for all the
talk of best rotation, the
starting pitching has been
very shaky.
The team has improved from last season, for sure, mainly in defense, BUT when people don't give us a chance we do
very well its when people
talk us up and the pressure rises we begin to flop, lets see where we are by round 10 then maybe i'll
start to hope, BUT for now I've seen too much
of Arsenal to get carried away.
It is certainly far too early in the season to realistically
talk about any side as potential champions but there is no doubt that a win like this in a match that
started so badly is exactly the type
of result that can see you challenge at the
very top
of the table.
David Villa whose future at the club is

Bob Wilson, former Arsenal goalkeeper and The 100 Club committee member said: «The Club was

of this
very special club.

So I think that was the moment for me that really sunk in like this is really my baby and so we just snuggled skin to skin for a little while and it wasn't
very long before she
started showing signs
of being interested in eating and we had also
talked to the birth mom and
talked about a plan for... our plan to breastfeed.
in my religion it says you should nurse a chld till 2 years

talk to my husband and explain the matter and that every one should back off in a way that will not cause a problem with the relitionship
This is one
of the
very first things that my nurse practitioner warned me about when I
started talking about giving my twins solid foods when they turned five months old and began looking at our dinner like it belonged on their plates.
But as I've
talked about quite a bit on The Lunch Tray (
starting with my
very first post), it does concern me that our menu is currently still weighted almost entirely in favor

Every mom would want from the
very deep
of her heart to understand how her baby feels before it
starts talking.
She is
very excited and friendly and
starts getting caught up on how birth's been going by asking lots
of questions to the Mom and then
starts excitedly
talking about how great baby's looking.
I would
start talking in a
very casual matter
of fact manner as if I'm having a chat with her.

At one point my moms group's weekly discussion was so dominated by sleep that we were

of the economy and then made it look like I
started by
talking about the resource locations
of this thing and put it forward and changed certain things to make me look like I was being a tribalist and it was bad, this is where I find people
very mischievous;... You take the whole thing out
of context and make it look
very tribalistic, so, I think, yes, it happened, newspapers reported something wrong and I think people should be ashamed
of themselves when they do this kind
of «cut and paste» to create that wrong impression in the system...» Mr Osafo Marfo clarified.
I don't think there should be any subjects that, I know, religion tends to be kind
of the elephant in the room
very often, and when you
start debating those kinds
of things, but I'm always up for a conversation; which I think is the most important thing to remember, when you're having a discussion — with gigantic ironic quotes around it, a «conversation with someone» — is to make it a conversation, not falling into the trap
of thinking the person you're
talking to is an idiot, because they might believe something idiotic.
Steve: Through the end
of the book you
start to
talk about, and it's a
very dicey proposition, but an actual diagnosis

Now that has changed completely the nature
of, if that's really true, it means the future

very different, because if there are many universes and in each universe the laws
of physics are different, then may be we have to throw out fundamental ideas and the ability to make fundamental predictions in nature [and] have to
start talking about probability.

This stuff is really interesting, I mean, it is really going to, I believe, is going to change the world dramatically; but I think also it's going to help us to understand that question I

When that happens, hormones as well as a number
of other singling molecules like neurotransmitters which you began this
talk with are released and they have
very definitive brain care taking effects, but due to endocrine disrupting compounds that we're exposed to on a daily basis that are hormone disrupting and even sociologic ways that we now live differently with texting being the new
