While it has 148 years【M1】______ since the Emancipation Proclamation, and 47 years since the landmark Civil Rights Act, for many, the words of Martin Luther King in his famous speech still ring real: "The Negro lives on a【M2】______ lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity." Many black Americans still find themselves spiritually and economically slaved on the figurative 21st-century plantation.【M3】______ Why is that still so? After all, for the last 47 years, our leaders have passed on bill after bill ostensibly to free black Americans【M4】______ from the manacles of poverty and provide ever-stronger safety nets for those disadvantaged. Because two very formidable forces have【M5】______ conspired over these last 47 years—almost the span of my complete life—to shackle the economic freedoms and aspirations【M6】______ of the black community: liberal progressive policies, generally supported by Democrats, and the socialist ideology espoused by prominent blacks as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.【M7】______ This is always curious to me that black Americans typically【M8】______ vote Democrat, when it was a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and a Republican from Ohio, Representative James Mitchell Ashley, who came forth the bill to support an amendment to end slavery【M9】______ throughout the United States. Nearly 100 years late, when the【M10】______ initial Civil Rights Bill came before the full Senate in 1964, it was a group of 18 Southern Democrats who argued most fervently against its passage.

account of happenings in the【M1】______ surrounding world are definitely over. Also over is the simplistic interview journalism you published question answers from【M2】______ interviews with dignity. Your well-researched articles, picking【M3】______ facts and figures from scores of reports, publications, papers etc. is also a done thing now. If you are privy to information that others【M4】______ do not have your chances of becoming a successful journalist are poor. There was a time that journalists and media did not indulge in【M5】______ expressing opinions connected with the news stories. They would simply put the facts before the people and let people to arrive at【M6】______ their own conclusions. This is true no more. Now apart from bringing breaking news, the media openly engages itself in expressing views and opinions neither for or against it. In recent【M7】______ times, they not only exposed various scandals but also made the【M8】______ public feel strongly about it. Even public opinion building by the media was acceptable but now it has crossed over to yet other domain, in finding out to what extent a given person was guilty of misconduct and the kind of punishment he/she deserved. So before any law enforcing agency or court of law comes to some decision in a given case, the media【M9】______ is ready with its conclusions. This role of media is pestering many including the government and the other day the prime minister had to say that media was now functioning all of one as accuser,【M10】______ prosecutor and judge.

ms from a fundamental disagreement over how jobs are created in the first place. We are now in the third year of policies predicated on the assumption that government spending creates jobs. We have been【M1】______ squandered three years and trillions of dollars of the nation s wealth on such policies, and they have not worked so they cannot【M2】______ work. Government cannot inject a single dollar into the economy if【M3】______ it has first taken that same dollar out of the economy. True, we can see the job that is saved or created when the government puts that dollar back into the economy. That we cant【M4】______ see clearly are the jobs that are destroyed or prevented from forming because government has first taken that dollar out of the economy. We see those millions of lost jobs in a chronic unemployment rate and a stagnating economy. Government can transfer jobs from the production sector to【M5】______ the government sector by taking money from one and giving it to the other. Thats the heart of the presidents plan to spend billions【M6】______ of dollars to hire more teachers and firefighters than police【M7】______ officers. But these temporal government jobs come at a steep【M8】______ price: every dollar spent on sustaining one of these jobs is a dollar【M9】______ taken from the same capital pool that would otherwise have been available to productive businesses to invest creating permanent【M10】______ jobs.

"Students went on a spring break trip were nearly four times as【M2】______ likely as other students to engage to binge drinking," said【M3】______ developmental psychologist Megan Patrick, lead author of the paper and a Faculty Research Fellow at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. " Understandings students had with their friends were also important predictors of alcoholic use."【M4】______ Patrick and colleagues at Penn State surveyed 651 college freshmen either before and after spring break. They were able to【M5】______ control for student behavior. after spring break, which was【M6】______ a strong predictor of behavior. during break. According to the study, about 31 percent of 651 college freshmen surveying reported binge drinking during spring break.【M7】______ "Its important to encourage young people to talk with their friends being safe during spring break," Patrick said. " Agreeing that【M8】______ they wont drink too much may have an important protected effect.【M9】______ Its also important to talk about looking out for each other in case of【M10】______ someone does drink too much."

By weaving climate change concerns into the fabric of its existing developmental policies, the country would not only be able to ineffectively address the challenges of【M2】______ climate change mitigation and adaptation, but will also be able to attain sustainable development. The impacts of climate change are conventionally assessed in terms of their impact on the human and【M3】______ natural system. These impacts would in turn, relate sustainable development【M4】______ largely through their implication on the opportunities for economic development and development planning, on access to resources and on the distributional effects, especially on the most poor across regions and income groups. Research conducting on the impact of【M5】______ climate change shows that developing countries are probable to【M6】______ bear the brunt as they have fewer resources for coping with the adverse change. In India, climate change could add the additional【M7】______ stress on ecological and socio-economic systems are already【M8】______ facing tremendous pressures due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and economic development.

There is growing concern that being stuck in place contributes to higher levels of unemployment. Our analysis, therefore, finds no correlation whatsoever between【M1】______ the percentage of residents who were born in a state and either the overall rate of unemployment and its change over the past year.【M2】______ There is also no correlation between it and the level of income inequality. States with higher percentages of home grown up【M3】______ residents do however have higher poverty rates. State mobility appears to be related to residents perceptions of their future economic conditions. The percentage of residents born in a state is closely associated with the percentage of people in the state who see the economy getting worse and negatively associated with the【M4】______ percentage who perceive the economy to be getting better. This likely reflects a difference in the levels of income and skills what【M5】______ underlie these divergent perceptions about the economy. State-level mobility is also associated with key dimensions of health and well-being. Low mobility states have higher levels of obesity and smoking and higher levels of happiness and【M6】______ well-being. The percentage of residents born in a state is positively correlated with smoking and obesity, as well as deaths from【M7】______ cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and cancer. Converse, the【M8】______ level of happiness or subjective well-being is negatively associated with the percentage of residents born in a state. And many have【M9】______ focused on the economic effects of mobility, our analysis suggests it play an important role in health and happiness as well.【M10】______

ly it while attending classes.【M1】______ You must study a language for at least an hour or two each day if you really want to achieve proficiency. Some people cannot realistically achieve these goals in a formal language classroom if they have busy schedules to work. Educational【M2】______ language software for computer-based learning is very useful in such cases. Computer software programs can help developing reading【M3】______ comprehension in a foreign language. Most language programs provide reading exercises and quizzes of test【M4】______ comprehension. Programs teach you how to read basic vocabulary words first, and followed by more advanced【M5】______ phrases. If you are ready, computer applications allow you to【M6】______ read sentences and paragraphs and then test your comprehension of the content. As formal classroom exams【M7】______ revised over the course of an entire week, computer software provides immediate correction of reading comprehension errors. This reinforces retention of the subjects covered in a lesson unit. Learning how to write with a language learning program on a computer is fair easy. Typing applications help students【M8】______ take what they have learned from reading lessons and practice writing on their own. While a computer-based student will miss out on the benefit of having a teacher review his writing and provide feedback, many computer programs automatically【M9】______ correct and revise the writing exercises for the student can see【M10】______ where mistakes were made. Language software discourages bad writing habits by correcting errors immediately.
