Yet libraries must still provide quietness for study and reading, because many of our students want a quiet study environment.

Acoustic concerns in school libraries are much more important and complex today than they were in the past. (①) Years ago, before electronic resources were such a vital part of the library environment, we had only to deal with noise produced by people. (②) Today, the widespread use of computers, printers, and other equipment has added machine noise. (③) People noise has also increased, because group work and instruction are essential parts of the learning process. (④) So, the modern school library is no longer the quiet zone it once was. (⑤) Considering this need for library surroundings, it is important to design spaces where unwanted noise can be eliminated or at least kept to a minimum.

Then, sometime in the sixteenth century, Dutch growers decided to give this root vegetable a patriotic edge.

Here's a fact I'll bet you didn't know: Carrots once came in every color but orange. (①) There were red, black, green, white, and even purple varieties. (②) Using a mutant seed from North Africa, breeders began developing an orange variety in honor of their monarch, William 1, the Prince of Orange, who led them to independence against the Spaniards. (③) A country with an orange flag now had its very own orange carrot. (④) You might call this one of history's most superbly successful branding exercises, albeit one that was never capitalized on. (⑤) Very few people who munch on a carrot -and not even Bugs Bunny- are aware that they're biting into one of the greatest missed branding opportunities of all time.

But, blocking any one route is not necessarily a problem because others can be used to compensate for such a development.

Pete Bradshaw offered an economic analogy based on the concepts of income and savings that describes how the view of self-esteem works in his 1981 book, "The Management of Self-Esteem." (①) He viewed all the experiences that may enhance self-esteem "account" does not matter in this model because all of them go to the same place. (②) Which type of experiences an individual chooses to use as a "deposit" to place in this self-esteem "account" does not matter in this model because all of them go to the same place. (③) Only the strength or frequency of the "income flow" determines the degree or level of our self-esteem. (④) Failures can be seen as detracting from self-esteem, much like a debit in an account. (⑤) Only the total amount matters.

If you have a pet, you may have found yourself orienting in the direction of your pet's gaze, and becoming frustrated when you did not see anything!

Orienting responses can be contagious. Not only do we orient ourselves toward stimuli we have just sensed (like a sudden noise or movement in our peripheral visual field), but we also orient ourselves in the direction that others have oriented. (①) For example, infants as young as 4 months of age will follow the gaze of others, and adults will do likewise. (②) To test this response, simply have a conversation with someone, and then shift your gaze over his or her shoulder and widen your eyes a bit. (③) See how quickly the other person turns to look. (④) Interestingly, this effect also occurs across species. (⑤) Because dogs and cats have somewhat different perceptual systems than humans, they can often hear, see or smell things that we cannot detect.
