communication American English is usually the preferred choice as it is acceptable and easily understandable in any context from Japan to Peru. While British English, especially the Received Pronunciation, is generally viewed as some kind of a “gold standard” in education and is usually focused on in textbooks and dictionaries, it should be remembered that American English has about 10 times more speakers than the RP and thus the significance of it in the today’s world should not be underestimated. 2) Submarine sandwich is ‘a large sandwich consisting of a long roll split lengthwise and filled with layers of meat, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and condiments’ (www.ahdictionary.com). How did it get its name? It is difficult to say when the term submarine sandwich was first used for these types of large sandwiches. Although it is quite obvious that the sandwich got its name because of its long shape that resembles submarines, there are several myths around the origin of the term.
countries grew better under the "bad" policies of 1960-1980. (2002: 128) Fashion and Rhetoric Why, then, the overwhelming dominance of NPM until a few years ago? Naturally, NPM is more than a fashion; as already stated, it is a genuine ideology, or based on one, the neo-liberal creed, in the sense that ideologies are reduced perspectives of reality, reified by their believers because they cannot handle the complexity of the latter. But the power of fashion in itself should never be underestimated, and as has been rightly said, Public sector reform is in fashion and no self-respecting government can afford to ignore it. How a fashion is established is one of the most intriguing questions of public policy. Part of the answer lies in policy diffusion brought about by the activities of international officials (whose zeal for administrative reform mysteriously stops short at the door of their own organizations), by

19 However, the criticism by the UN Committee was met with an outrage by the UK government and media as there was a strong belief that the UK is one of the leading countries in the protection of children.20 There was the sentiment of unjust accusation given to the poor record of respecting children in many other countries. The `protectionist` approach towards children trenchantly illustrates the fact that the nature of the Convention and its purpose was clearly underestimated by the UK.21 Gerison Lansdown argues that the UK commodiously failed to place emphasis on respecting children`s right to express a view in all matters of concern and have these views taken seriously in a variety of social settings in which they live their daily lives, like family life and education. Instead the UK government placed the importance only on the legal requirement of courts and local authorities under the Children 17 UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (1995)
even after he was long gone: Nearly all ofthe pedestrians complied with his direc- tive when he wore the guard costume, but fewer than half did so when he was dressed normally.6 It is interesting to note that, later on, Bickman found college students guessed with considerable accuracy the percentage of compliance that occurred in the ex- periment when the requester wore street clothes (50 percent versus the actual 42 percent); yet, the students greatly underestimated the percentage of compliance when he was in uniform-63 percent versus the actual 92 percent (Bickman, 1974). Less blatant in its connotation than a uniform, but nonetheless effective, is an- other kind of attire that has traditionally indicated authority status in our culture: the well-tailored business suit. It, too, can evoke a telling form of deference from total strangers. In a study conducted in Texas, for instance, researchers arranged for

It's Vincent, who has been reading a book 276 EPILOGUE: LOOKING BACK ON THE JOURNEY in the bathroom (the comic spy thriller Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell). Foolishly, in a fatal, tragic mistake, Vincent has underestimated his opponent, and has left his gun sitting on the kitchen counter. Butch hears the toilet flush, grabs the gun, and kills Vincent. It s a near-death O R D E A L for Butch, but it s the tragic C L I M A X for Vincent, who has been brought down by one of his flaws — his disrespect for his elders. He is punished with true poetic justice, and in a humiliating way, being caught gunless while exiting the toilet. W e don't know it yet, but Vincent also appears to be
unified, profound and soulful work. The second new feature is that of sensibility, to meditative concentrated attitude of mind, to elegiac moods and gusty sections, a leading position has been given. The rationality and certain dryness have disappeared. A novel treatment of harmony may be considered the third new feature in Pärt’s style. This music is tonal and Pärt is not juxtaposing the tonalities. The clear and quite stable harmonic base cannot be underestimated; it emphasises the clarity and simplicity of its style. The pedal point and abundant holds are stressed. The minor key dominates; Pärt prefers its melodic shape and uses the natural minor. There is so much polyphony that we may speak of the polyphonic essence of the work. Application of classical free counterpoint is the fourth new feature. The fifth novel feature in Pärt’s style is the increasing importance of solo instruments
In those days [wrote the corps' chief of staff, Colonel F. W. von Mellenthin] we were really good at intercepting Russian wireless traffic; enemy messages were promptly deciphered and passed to Corps in time to act on them. We were kept well informed of Russian reactions to our movements, and the measures they proposed to take, and we modified our own plans accordingly. At first the Russians underestimated the importance of the German thrust. Later a few antitank guns were thrown into the fray. Then slowly the Russian Command got worried. Wireless calls became frantic. "Report at once where the enemy comes from. Your message is unbelievable." Reply: "Ask the Devil's grandmother; how should I know where the enemy comes from?" (Whenever the Devil and his near relations are mentioned in Russian signals one can assume that a crack-up is at hand
DOES THIS STUDY DEPEND ON SELF-REPORTING OR SURVEYS? In 1980, scientists at an isolated research station in Antarctica had test subjects weigh and record In 1980, scientists at an isolated research station in Antarctica had test subjects weigh and record all of the food they consumed. Once a week, the subjects were asked to recall what they had eaten the day before (food, keep in mind, they had weighed and recorded in their notebooks). Despite all the attention to logging meals, the men still underestimated their intake by 2030%. Granted, these might have been blizzard-blind men. Hardly normal circumstances. Let's look at how the real professionals do it. The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) was a massive $415-million project conducted under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and involving nearly 49,000 women. It was designed to investigate a number of health issues, including the e ect of low-fat diets on cancer, over an eight-year period
