Changing economic focus can do wonders for employment, and the economy.
No, it's a major tuition increase. Minor increases to keep up with inflation have been happening each year for over 30 years but they have been called administration fee increases.
And why should tuition inceases be accepted in one place because they are accepted in others.
"The results of this study point toward contribution of minor and major perturbations in the two sub-networks of neuronal genes to ASD risk"
Notice genes *contribute* not cause, and they contribute to risk of ASD, not to ASD

"When a mother eats meat, her breast-fed child's brain grows faster and she is able to wean the child at an earlier age, allowing her to have more children faster, the article explains." NOT what the article explains. They have a model that says carnivores wean faster than herbivores and omnivores (which humans certainly are, at least in our very recent evolution.) Then, they say their model's prediction for carnivores matches some human data. Which is odd, since we are omnivores, and our dental and digestive structure suggest we were previously herbivores. Possibly, other factors predicts larger brain size.. Article: "time to weaning predicted for a generic carnivore and non-carnivore with a brain mass equal to that of humans was compared to the actual time to weaning in a global sample of 46 human natural fertility societies. The sample fit the prediction based on the species in the carnivore group with regard to both mean value and distribution (left panel), but did not fit the prediction based on non-carnivore" THIS IS ALL THEY SHOW. Plenty of chimps have varying degrees of monkey-hunting and other meat in their diet, couldn't they look at time-to-weaning within those chimp groups and see if meat consumption explains the variability? Or look in human societies if time to weaning varies with meat consumption? Ridiculous article, stretched even further.

"What gives you the right to profit by someone eases labor?"
Isn't that a big part of how the "rich" get rich in the first place?
There would be no anonymity on the secure part of the net, by design.
Have you put any thought into whether that can actually be designed into a system ?
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
