Based on hundreds of facetoface interviews and surveys with students, sociologist Robert Manning of Georgetown University concluded both the number with credit card debt and their indebtedness had been systematically underreported in previous studies which failed to reflect the survival strategies many used to cope with their debts. These included the use of federal student loans to pay off credit cards, effectively shifting the debt, appeals to parents for loans, cutting back on course work to increase time at paid jobs, or even dropping out altogether to work full time. Official dropout rates include growing numbers of students who are unable to cope with the stress of their debts and/or part time jobs for servicing their credit cards, the study said. Even then, debts can haunt students. Student credit card debts are increasingly scrutinized during the recruitment process and may be an important factor in evaluating prospective. employee, it noted. And the stress can also manifest in far more tragic ways. Janne O39。s buzzword. This mitment has now been clearly defined in The World Zoo Conservation Strategy (WZCS, 1993), which does seem to be based on an unrealistic optimism about the nature of the zoo industry. The WZCS estimates that there are about 10,000 zoos in the world, of which around 1,000 represent a core of quality collections capable of participating in coordinated conservation programs.

Our concept of TIME and using it together with TECHNOLOGY still has room for radical reassessment in terms of man39。生活需要游戲,但不能游戲人生;生活需要歌舞,但不需醉生夢(mèng)死;生活需要藝術(shù),但不能投機(jī)取巧;生活需要勇氣,但不能魯莽蠻干;生活需要重復(fù),但不能重蹈覆轍。s Resonant Frequency. From the Macrocosm, or Planetary Alignment, to the Microcosm, or Atomic Frequency, the cesium now maintains accuracy with a degree of error to about onemillionth of a second per year. Much of modern life has e to depend on such precise measurements of time. The day is long past when we could get by with a timepiece(鐘)accurate to the nearest quarter hour. Transportation, financial markets, munication, manufacturing, electric power and many other technologies have bee dependent on superaccurate clocks. Scientific research and the demands of modern technology continue re drive our search for ever more accuracy, The next generation of Cesium Time Standards is presently under development at NIST39。t able to take a walk.
