Vanilla

The uniquely scented flavor of vanilla is second only to chocolate in popularity on the world's palate. It's also the second most expensive spice after saffron. But highly labor-intensive cultivation methods ,the plant's temperamental life cycle and propagation mean production on a global scale is struggling to keep up with the increasing demand for the product.

MBA

Exhilarating, exhausting, inspirational and intense. Everyone's experience as an MBA student is different but we make sure that there are plenty of opportunities to integrate with students across all programmes, alumni networks as well as faculty and working professionals.

The founding fathers

Indeed, the founding fathers established constitutional protections for the press because they understood that leaving the watchdog function to partisan politicians wouldn't necessarily serve the public interest; both sides have too many incentives to preserve the status quo and ignore problems that elude quick fixes.

Infinite variations

Surprisingly, despite what appear to be infinite variations, all difficult conversations share a common structure. When you're caught up in the details and anxiety of a particularly difficult conversation, this structure is hard to see. But it is essential to improving how you handle your most challenging conversations.

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide and attains a depth of over a mile. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists, recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago.

The unimaginable

How do we imagine the unimaginable? If we're asked to think of an object - say, a yellow tulip - a picture immediately forms in our mind's eye. But what if we try to imagine a concept such as the square root of a negative number?

Globalization

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a 'flattening' of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, leveling the playing field as never before.

Funds

At the beginning of each fiscal year, funds are allocated to University accounts in accordance with the University's financial plan. Account managers should ensure that adequate funds are available in the appropriate object before initiating transactions to use the funds. Failure to do so could result in a curtailment of services.

Immense disparity

The core of the problem was the immense disparity between the country's productive capacity and the ability of people to consume. Great innovations in productive techniques during and after the war raised the output of industry beyond the purchasing capacity of U.S. farmers and wage earners.

Blue food

Blue colors may affect the appetite, and therefore blue food is not commonly found in nature. Food researchers believe that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects, which were often blue, black, or purple. When food dyed blue is served to study subjects, they lose their appetite.

Lincoln

Lincoln's apparently radical change of mind about his war power to emancipate slaves was caused by the escalating scope of war, which convinced him that any measure to weaken the Confederacy and strengthen the Union war effort was justifiable as a military necessity.

Pluto

Pluto lost its official status as a planet yesterday, when the International Astronomical Union downsized the solar system from nine to eight planets. Although there had been a passionate debate at the General Assembly Meeting about the definition of a planet - and whether Pluto met the specifications - the audience greeted the decision to exclude it with applause.

Akimbo

Akimbo, this must be one of the odder-looking words in the language. It puzzles us in part because it doesn't seem to have any relatives. What's more, it is now virtually a fossil word, until recently almost invariably found in "arms akimbo", a posture in which a person stands with hands on hips and elbows sharply bent outward, one that signals impatience, hostility, or contempt.

Augustus

Augustus was given the powers of an absolute monarch, but he presented himself as the preserver of republican traditions. He treated the Senate, or state council, with great respect, and was made Consul year after year. Even as his power grew, he insisted that he was princeps, not a king. He also successfully reduced the political power of the army by retiring many soldiers.

Plant

Although it hails from a remote region of the western Himalayas, this plant now looks entirely at home on the banks of English rivers. Brought to the UK in 1839, it quickly escaped from Victorian gardens and colonised river banks and damp woodlands. Now it is spreading across Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the US.

Introverts and extroverts

Introverts tend to recharge by spending time alone. They lose energy from being around people for long periods of time, particularly large crowds. Extroverts, on the other hand, gain energy from other people. Extroverts actually find their energy is sapped when they spend too much time alone. They recharge by being social.

Repeat Sentence

A thorough bibliography is needed at the end of every assignment. 

Biographical information should be removed before the publication of the results.

Due to rising demand for courses, universities should increase their staff too.

What distinguished him from others is the dramatic use of black and white photography.

In this library, books from reserved collection can be borrowed for up to three hours.

Meteorology is a subject of the earth's atmosphere.

The aesthetic implications of this study have not yet been fully explored.  

The first few sentences of an essay should capture the readers’ attention.

The glass is not the real solid, because it doesn't have crystal structure.

The interaction of climate change and soil degradation will probably aggravate conditions.  

There are lots of people competing for the places in computer courses.
