There are many natural scientists, and especially physicists, who continue to reject the notion that the disciplines concerned with social and cultural criticism can have anything to contribute, except perhaps peripherally, to their research. Still less are they receptive to the idea that the very foundations of their worldview must be revised or rebuilt in the light of such criticism. Rather, they cling to the dogma imposed by the long post-Enlightenment hegemony over the Western intellectual outlook, which can be summarized briefly as follows: that there exists an external world, whose properties are independent of any individual human being and indeed of humanity as a whole; that these properties are encoded in ``eternal'' physical laws; and that human beings can obtain reliable, albeit imperfect and tentative, knowledge of these laws by hewing to the ``objective'' procedures and epistemological strictures prescribed by the (so-called) scientific method.

У некоторого человека было два сына;И сказал младший из них отцу:отче!дай мне следующую мне часть имения.И отец разделил им имение.По прошествии немногих дней,младший сын,собрав все,пошел в дальнюю сторону и там расточил имение свое,живя распутно.Когда же он прожил все,настал великий голод в той стране,и он начал нуждаться;И пошел,пристал к одному из жителей страны той,а тот послал его на поля свои пасти свиней;И он рад был наполнить чрево свое рожками,которые ели свиньи,но никто не давал ему.Пришед же в себя,сказал:сколько наемников у отца моего избыточествуют хлебом,а я умираю от голода!Встану,пойду к отцу моему и скажу ему:отче!я согрешил против неба и пред тобою,И уже не достоин называться сыном твоим;прими меня в число наемников твоих.Встал и пошел к отцу своему.И когда он был еще далеко,увидел его отец и сжалился;и побежав пал ему на шею и целовал его.Сын же сказал ему:отче!я согрешил против неба и пред тобою,и уже не достоин называться сыном твоим.А отец сказал рабам своим:принесите лучшую одежду и оденьте его,и дайте перстень на руку его и обувь на ноги;И приведите откормленного теленка и заколите:станем есть и веселиться,Ибо этот сын мой был мертв и ожил,пропал и нашелся.И начали веселиться.

We examine the relationship between a tree price and a tree age (height) using a Hotelling–Faustmann type model of optimal plantation management, which accounts for the possibility of replanting and biological growth. The model predictions are tested using the data on Christmas tree prices in North Carolina collected in December 1997. The estimates show that, in general, the rates of change in prices between adjacent age cohorts reflect a competitive equilibrium in the capital market thus supporting the Hotelling–Faustmann paradigm.

На основании личныхъ моихъ наблюдений я пришёлъ къ тому заключению, что Вотяки, сравнительно съ другими инородцами Казанской губернии и частию Русскими, находятся въ лучшихъ экономическихъ условияхъ. Изъ инородцевъ одни разве Чуваши могутъ поспорить с Вотяками въ отношении трудолюбия и стремления къ сбережению, но у Чувашъ, особенно въ некоторыхъ местностяхъ, сильно развито пьянство, что значительно уменьшаетъ количество сбережений. Не прочь погулять и Вотяки; въ праздники у нихъ истребляется непомерное количество пива и кумышки, но водку они пьютъ редко, а пиво и кумышка приготовляются изъ домашнихъ материаловъ, и следовательно стоятъ очень не дорого. Во времена откупа Вотяки, говорятъ, много вытерпели за то, что гнали кумышку, но ни штрафы, ни наказания не могли уменьшить употребления этого напитка. У Вотяковъ вятскихъ составилось даже убеждение, что сама царица дозволила имъ варить кумышку, и вот по какому случаю. У царицы однажды утонулъ корабль, и никакими усилиями его невозможно было поднять. Тогда царица приказала каждому изъ своихъ народовъ молиться по своей вере. Ничья молитва не была услышана Богомъ, только когда Вотяки, помолившись по своему обряду, плеснули на огонь кумышку, то, по мере того какъ паръ отъ нея поднимался вверхъ, поднимался и корабль изъ воды. Вследствие этого царица и дала указъ дозволить Вотякамъ варить кумышку.

Islamic banking, based on the prohibition of interest, is well established throughout the Muslim world. Attention has now turned towards applying Islamic principles in equity markets... Speculation is not acceptable in Islam and measures would have to be taken to control speculative trading. In addition short selling and margin trading are severely restricted. The use of stock index and equity futures and options are also unlikely to be acceptable within an Islamic market. Regulatory authorities in Muslim countries will therefore find a vast array of problems in attempting to structure a trading system that will be acceptable.

When a person enters his thirtieth year people will not stop calling him young. But he himself, although he can discover no changes in himself, becomes unsure; he feels as though he were no longer entitled to claim to be young. And one morning he wakes up, on a day which he will forget, and suddenly lies there unable to get up, struck by harsh rays of light and denuded of all weapon and all courage with which to face the new day. … But … he discovers in himself a wonderful new ability. The ability to remember. He does not remember as before, unexpectedly or because he wishes to, does not remember this or that at random, but with a painful compulsion recalls all his years, shallow and deep, and all the places he has occupied during these years.
