The Tesla booth was one of hundreds at the jamboree of dazzling and sometimes quirky technological innovations. The expo featured boxing robots, robots that clean toilets, emotional support robots for older adults, automated police vans, a self-driving yacht and many of the more than 100 Chinese electric vehicle brands engaged in increasingly cutthroat competition for market share.

Trying to Avoid the Pitfalls of Power
By DAVID E. SANGER
President Xi Jinping of China and President Obama vowed to keep their
disputes over cyberespying and territorial claims from descending into a
cold-war mentality.
Thatcher had sought, reasonably enough, to find a formula that might save the hunger strikers' lives without compromising the principle that democratic governments don't deal with paramilitary organizations. Nonetheless, had the facts emerged at the time, her reputation would have suffered gravely and, to the end of her days, she could not bring herself to admit that she had had dealings with terrorists.
The Collaborative Study is an occupational cohort study of 6022 men and 1006 women of working age recruited from 27 workplaces throughout the central belt of Scotland. It took place between 1970 and 1973. The primary multiple health examination consisted of a self-administered questionnaire and a 20 minute attendance for screening at a temporary centre for a height and weight check, respiratory function test, 6 lead ECG, blood pressure, chest x-ray, and 10 ml. fasting blood plasma sample for cholesterol, triglycerides and the phenotyping of lipoproteins. The questionnaire differed from that used in the MAIN study as it included more detailed questions on lifestyle and early life.
Dubai Property Fair Set to Begin
Dubai property-industry executives are anxiously watching to see if the Cityscape real-estate jamboree can give the emirate a much-needed shot in the arm.
Artists, collectors, critics, curators and dealers have descended on London through Sunday to take part in the seventh annual Frieze Art Fair (www.friezeartfair.com), a key marketplace for contemporary art globally, with 173 galleries from 33 countries, showcasing more than 1,000 artists. Frieze's success has inspired an autumn art jamboree throughout the city, stimulating satellite fairs, auction sales and shows in other galleries.
Started in 2003 by Frieze Magazine editors Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp to sell contemporary art to a growing cohort of international collectors, fair participants are vetted by a committee of their peers to attract blue-chip galleries, as well as a high-spending, contemporary-art-loving audience. "We provide a focused contemporary art fair—that is our appeal," Ms. Sharp says.

On the way to learning that one thing can represent another, young children often conflate the real item and its symbol. These errors show how difficult it is to start thinking symbolically
Foley Intermediate School began offering separate classes for boys and girls a few years ago, after the school’s principal, Lee Mansell, read a book by Michael Gurian called “Boys and Girls Learn Differently!” After that, she read a magazine article by Sax and thought that his insights would help improve the test scores of Foley’s lowest-achieving cohort, minority boys.

Pronunciation: /dɪˈsɛnd/
Definition of descend
verbOrigin:
Middle English: from Old French descendre, from Latin descendere, from de- 'down' + scandere 'to climb'cohort
(kō'hôrt')
n.
- A group or band of people.
- A companion or associate.
- A generational group as defined in demographics, statistics, or market research: "The cohort of people aged 30 to 39 . . . were more conservative" (American Demographics).
- One of the 10 divisions of a Roman legion, consisting of 300 to 600 men.
- A group of soldiers.
[Middle English, from Old French cohorte, from Latin cohors, cohort-.]
USAGE NOTE In Caesar's Gallic War a cohort was a unit of soldiers. There were 6 centuries (100 men) to a cohort, 10 cohorts to a legion (therefore 6,000 men). A century, then, would correspond to a company, a cohort to a battalion, and a legion to a regiment. Because of the word's history, some critics insist that cohort should be used only to refer to a group of people and never to an individual. In recent years, however, the use of cohort to refer to an individual rather than a group has become very common and is now in fact the dominant usage. Seventy-one percent of the Usage Panel accepts the sentence The cashiered dictator and his cohorts have all written their memoirs, while only 43 percent accepts The gangster walked into the room surrounded by his cohort. • Perhaps because of its original military meaning and paramilitary associations, cohort usually has a somewhat negative connotation, and therefore critics of the President rather than his supporters might use a phrase like the President and his cohorts.
