    Even
    if
    families
    don't
    sit
    down
    to
    eat
    together
    as
    frequently
    as
    before,
    millions
    of
    Britons
    will
    nonetheless
    have
    got
    a
    share
    this
    weekend
    of
    one
    of
    that
    nation's
    great
    traditions;
    the
    Sunday
    roast.

    Yet
    as
    we
    report
    now,
    the
    food

    determined
    our
    health.
    That
    this__3__should
    be
    rendered
    yet
    another
    guilty
    pleasure
    __4__
    to
    damage
    our
    health.
    The
    Food
    Standards
    Authority
    (FSA)
    has
    __5__
    a
    public
    warning
    about
    the
    risks
    of
    a

    acrylamide
    that
    forms

    But
    where
    is
    the
    evidence
    to

    __9__
    studies
    have
    shown
    that

    can
    cause
    neurological
    damage

    to
    follow
    the
    FSA
    advice.
    __14__,
    it

    A
    group
    of
    labour
    MPs,
    among
    them
    Yvette
    Cooper,
    are
    bringing
    in
    the
    new
    year
    with
    a
    call
    to
    institute
    a
    UK
    “town
    of
    culture“
    award.
    The
    proposal
    is
    that
    it
    should
    sit
    alongside
    the
    existing
    city
    of
    culture
    title,
    which
    was
    held
    by
    Hull
    in
    2017
    and
    has
    been
    awarded
    to
    Coventry
    for
    zoz1.
    Cooper
    and
    her
    colleagues
    argue
    that
    the
    success
    of
    the
    crown
    for
    Hull,
    where
    it
    brought
    in
    £220m
    of
    investment
    and
    an
    avalanche
    of
    arts,
    out
    not
    to
    be
    confined
    to
    cities.
    Britain'
    town,
    it
    is
    true
    are
    not
    prevented
    from
    applying,
    but
    they
    generally
    lack
    the
    resources
    to
    put
    together
    a
    bit
    to
    beat
    their
    bigger
    competitions.
    A
    town
    of
    culture
    award
    could,
    it
    is
    argued,
    become
    an
    annual
    event,
    attracting
    funding
    and
    creating
    jobs.
    Some
    might
    see
    the
    proposal
    as
    a
    boo
    by
    prize
    for
    the
    fact
    that
    Britain
    is
    no
    longer
    be
    able
    to
    apply
    for
    the
    much
    more
    prestigious
    title
    of
    European
    capital
    of
    culture,
    a
    sough-after
    award
    bagged
    by
    Glasgow
    in
    1990
    and
    Liverpool
    in
    2008.
    A
    cynic
    might
    speculate
    that
    the
    UK
    is
    on
    the
    verge
    of
    disappearing
    into
    an
    endless
    fever
    of
    self-celebration
    in
    its
    desperation
    to
    reinvent
    itself
    for
    the
    post-Brexit
    world:
    after
    town
    of
    culture,
    who
    knows
    that
    will
    follow-village
    of
    culture?
    Suburb
    of
    culture?
    Hamlet
    of
    culture?
    It
    is
    also
    wise
    to
    recall
    that
    such
    titles
    are
    not
    a
    cure-all.
    A
    badly
    run
    “year
    of
    culture“
    washes
    in
    and
    out
    of
    a
    place
    like
    the
    tide,
    bringing
    prominence
    for
    a
    spell
    but
    leaving
    no
    lasting
    benefits
    to
    the
    community.
    The
    really
    successful
    holders
    of
    such
    titles
    are
    those
    that
    do
    a
    great
    deal
    more
    than
    fill
    hotel
    bedrooms
    and
    bring
    in
    high-profile
    arts
    events
    and
    good
    press
    for
    a
    year.
    They
    transform
    the
    aspirations
    of
    the
    people
    who
    live
    there;
    they
    nudge
    the
    self-image
    of
    the
    city
    into
    a
    bolder
    and
    more
    optimistic
    light.
    It
    is
    hard
    to
    get
    right,
    and
    requires
    a
    remarkable
    degree
    of
    vision,
    as
    well
    as
    cooperation
    between
    city
    authorities,
    the
    private
    sector,
    community.
    groups
    and
    cultural
    organisations.
    But
    it
    can
    be
    done:
    Glasgow's
    year
    as
    European
    capital
    of
    culture
    can
    certainly
    be
    seen
    as
    one
    of
    complex
    series
    of
    factors
    that
    have
    turned
    the
    city
    into
    the
    power
    of
    art,
    music
    and
    theatre
    that
    it
    remains
    today.
    A
    “town
    of
    culture“
    could
    be
    not
    just
    about
    the
    arts
    but
    about
    honoring
    a
    town's
    peculiarities-helping
    sustain
    its
    high
    street,
    supporting
    local
    facilities
    and
    above
    all
    celebrating
    its
    people
    and
    turn
    it
    into
    action.21.Copper
    and
    her
    colleague
    argue
    that
    a
    “town
    of
    culture“

    would
    ___.
    A.

    the

    Scientific
    publishing
    has
    long
    been
    a
    licence
    to
    print
    money.
    Scientists
    need
    joumals
    in
    which
    to
    publish
    their
    research,
    so
    they
    will
    supply
    the
    articles
    without
    monetary
    reward.
    Other
    scientists
    perform
    the
    specialised
    work
    of
    peer
    review
    also
    for
    free,
    because
    it
    is
    a
    central
    element
    in
    the
    acquisition
    of
    status
    and
    the
    production
    of
    scientific
    knowledge.
    With
    the
    content
    of
    papers
    secured
    for
    free,
    the
    publisher
    needs
    only
    find
    a
    market
    for
    its
    journal.
    Until
    this
    century,
    university
    libraries
    were
    not
    very
    price
    sensitive.
    Scientific
    publishers
    routinely
    report
    profit
    margins
    approaching
    40%
    on
    their
    operations,
    at
    a
    time
    when
    the
    rest
    of
    the
    publishing
    industry
    is
    in
    an
    existential
    crisis.
    The
    Dutch
    giant
    Elsevier,
    which
    claims
    to
    publish
    25%
    of
    the
    scientific
    papers
    produced
    in
    the
    world
    ,
    made
    profits
    of
    more
    than
    £900m
    last
    year,
    while
    UK
    universities
    alone
    spent
    more
    than
    £210m
    in
    2016
    to
    enable
    researchers
    to
    access
    their
    own
    publicly
    funded
    research;
    both
    figures
    seem
    to
    rise
    unstoppably
    despite
    increasingly
    desperate
    efforts
    to
    change
    them.
    The
    most
    drastic,
    and
    thoroughly
    illegal,
    reaction
    has
    been
    the
    emergence
    of
    Sci-Hub,
    a
    kind
    of
    global
    photocopier
    for
    scientific
    papers,
    set
    up
    in
    2012,
    which
    now
    claims
    to
    offer
    access
    to
    every
    paywalled
    article
    published
    since
    2015.
    The
    success
    of
    Sci-Hub,
    which
    relies
    on
    researchers
    passing
    on
    copies
    they
    have
    themselves
    legally
    accessed,
    shows
    the
    legal
    ecosystem
    has
    lost
    legitimacy
    among
    its
    users
    and
    must
    be
    transformed
    so
    that
    it
    works
    for
    all
    participants.
    In
    Britain
    the
    move
    towards
    open
    access
    publishing
    has
    been
    driven
    by
    funding
    bodies.
    In
    some
    ways
    it
    has
    been
    very
    successful.
    More
    than
    half
    of
    all
    British
    scientific
    research
    is
    now
    published
    under
    open
    access
    terms:
    either
    freely
    available
    from
    the
    moment
    of
    publication,
    or
    paywalled
    for
    a
    year
    or
    more
    so
    that
    the
    publishers
    can
    make
    a
    profit
    before
    being
    placed
    on
    general
    release.
    Yet
    the
    new
    system
    has
    not
    worked
    out
    any
    cheaper
    for
    the
    universities.
    Publishers
    have
    responded
    to
    the
    demand
    that
    they
    make
    their
    product
    free
    to
    readers
    by
    charging
    their
    writers
    fees
    to
    cover
    the
    costs
    of
    preparing
    an
    article.
    These
    range
    from
    around
    £500
    to
    $5,000.
    A
    report
    last
    year
    pointed
    out
    that
    the
    costs
    both
    of
    subscriptions
    and
    of
    these
    “article
    preparation
    costs”
    had
    been
    steadily
    rising
    at
    a
    rate
    above
    inflation.
    In
    some
    ways
    the
    scientific
    publishing
    model
    resembles
    the
    economy
    of
    the
    social
    internet:
    labour
    is
    provided
    free
    in
    exchange
    for
    the
    hope
    of
    status,
    while
    huge
    profits
    are
    made
    by
    a
    few
    big
    firms
    who
    run
    the
    market
    places.
    In
    both
    cases,
    we
    need
    a
    rebalancing
    of
    power.

    Progressives

    and
    a
    way

    the

    But
    all
    too
    often
    such

    are
    an
    insincere
    form
    of
    virtue-signaling
    that
    benefits

    the
    most
    privileged
    and
    does
    little
    to
    help
    average
    people.
    A
    pair
    of
    bills
    sponsored
    by
    Massachusetts
    state
    Senator
    Jason
    Lewis
    and
    House
    Speaker
    Pro
    Tempore
    Patricia
    Haddad,
    to
    ensure
    “gender
    parity“
    on
    boards
    and
    commissions,
    provide
    a
    case
    in
    point.
    Haddad
    and
    Lewis
    are
    concerned
    that
    more
    than
    half
    the
    state-government
    boards
    are
    less
    than
    40
    percent
    female.
    In
    order
    to
    ensure
    that
    elite
    women
    have
    more
    such
    opportunities,
    they
    have
    proposed
    imposing
    government
    quotas.
    If
    the
    bills
    become
    law,
    state
    boards
    and
    commissions
    will
    be
    required
    to
    set
    aside
    50
    percent
    of
    board
    seats
    for
    women
    by
    2022.
    The
    bills
    are
    similar
    to
    a
    measure
    recently
    adopted
    in
    Califomia,
    which
    last
    year
    became
    the
    first
    state
    to
    require
    gender
    quotas
    for
    private
    companies.
    In
    signing
    the
    measure,
    California
    Governor
    Jerry
    Brown
    admitted
    that
    the
    law,
    which
    expressly
    classifies
    people
    on
    the
    basis
    of
    sex,
    is
    probably
    unconstitutional.
    The
    US
    Supreme
    Court
    frowns
    on
    sex-based
    classifications
    unless
    they
    are
    designed
    to
    address
    an
    “important“
    policy
    interest,
    Because
    the
    California
    law
    applies
    to
    all
    boards,
    even
    where
    there
    is
    no
    history
    of
    prior
    discrimination,
    courts
    are
    likely
    to
    rule
    that
    the
    law
    violates
    the
    constitutional
    guarantee
    of
    “equal
    protection“.
    But
    are
    such
    government
    mandates
    even
    necessary?
    Female
    participation
    on
    corporate
    boards
    may
    not
    currently
    mirror
    the
    percentage
    of
    women
    in
    the
    general
    population,
    but
    so
    what?
    The
    number
    of
    women
    on
    corporate
    boards
    has
    been
    steadily
    increasing
    without
    government
    interference.
    According
    to
    a
    study
    by
    Catalyst,
    between
    2010
    and
    2015
    the
    share
    of
    women
    on
    the
    boards
    of
    global
    corporations
    increased
    by
    54
    percent.
    Requiring
    companies
    to
    make
    gender
    the
    primary
    qualification
    for
    board
    membership
    will
    inevitably
    lead
    to
    less
    experienced
    private
    sector
    boards.
    That
    is
    exactly
    what
    happened
    when
    Norway
    adopted
    a
    nationwide
    corporate
    gender
    quota.
    Writing
    in
    The
    New
    Republic,
    Alice
    Lee
    notes
    that
    increasing
    the
    number
    of
    opportunities
    for
    board
    membership
    without
    increasing
    the
    pool
    of
    qualified
    women
    to
    serve
    on
    such
    boards
    has
    led
    to
    a
    “golden
    skirt
    “phenomenon,
    where
    the
    same
    elite
    women
    scoop
    up
    multiple
    seats

    a
    variety
    of
    boards.
    Next
    time
    somebody
    pushes
    corporate
    quotas
    as
    a
    way
    to
    promote
    gender
    equity,
    remember
    that
    such
    policies
    are
    largely
    self-serving
    measures
    that
    make
    their
    sponsors

    Last
    Thursday,
    the
    French
    Senate
    passed
    a
    digital
    services
    tax,
    which
    would
    impose
    an
    entirely
    new
    tax
    on
    large
    multinationals
    that
    provide
    digital
    services
    to
    consumers
    or
    users
    in
    France.
    Digital
    services
    include
    everything
    from
    providing
    a
    platform
    for
    selling
    goods
    and
    services
    online
    to
    targeting
    advertising
    based
    on
    user
    data,
    and
    the
    tax
    applies
    to
    gross
    revenue
    from
    such
    servces.
    Many
    French
    politicians
    and
    media
    outlets
    have
    referred
    to
    this
    as
    a“GAFA
    tax,“
    meaning
    that
    it
    is
    designed
    to
    apply
    primarily
    to
    companies
    such
    as
    Google,
    Apple,
    Facebook
    and
    Amazon-
    in
    other
    words,
    multinational
    tech
    companies
    based
    in
    the
    United
    States.
    The
    digital
    services
    tax
    now
    awaits
    the
    signature
    of
    President
    Emmanuel
    Macron,
    who
    has
    expressed
    support
    for
    the
    measure,
    and
    it
    could
    go
    into
    effect
    within
    the
    next
    few
    weeks.
    But
    it
    has
    already
    sparked
    significant
    controversy,
    with
    the
    Unite
    Sates
    trade
    representative
    opening
    an
    investigation
    into
    whether
    the
    tax
    discriminates
    against
    American
    companies,
    which
    in
    turn
    could
    lead
    to
    trade
    sanctions
    against
    France.
    The
    French
    tax
    is
    not
    just
    a
    unilateral
    move
    by
    one
    country
    in
    need
    of
    revenue.
    Instead,
    the
    digital
    services
    tax
    is
    part
    of
    a
    much
    larger
    trend,
    with
    countries
    over
    the
    past
    few
    years
    proposing
    or
    putting
    in
    place
    an
    alphabet
    soup
    of
    new
    international
    tax
    provisions.
    These
    have
    included
    Britain's
    DPT
    (diverted
    profits
    tax),
    Australia's
    MAAL
    (multinational
    antiavoidance
    law),
    and
    India's
    SEP
    (significant
    economic
    presence)
    test,
    to
    name
    but
    a
    few.
    At
    the
    same
    time,
    the
    European
    Union,
    Spain,
    Britain
    and
    several
    other
    countries
    have
    all
    seriously
    contemplated
    digital
    services
    taxes.
    These
    unilateral
    developments
    differ
    in
    their
    specifics,
    but
    they
    are
    all
    designed
    to
    tax
    multinationals
    on
    income
    and
    revenue
    that
    countries
    believe
    they
    should
    have
    a
    right
    to
    tax,
    even
    if
    international
    tax
    rules
    do
    not
    grant
    them
    that
    right.
    In
    other
    words,
    they
    all
    share
    a
    view
    that
    the
    international
    tax
    system
    has
    failed
    to
    keep
    up
    with
    the
    current
    economy.
    In
    response
    to
    these
    many
    unilateral
    measures,
    the
    Organization
    for
    Economic
    Cooperation
    and
    Development

    (OECD)
    is
    currently
    working
    with
    131
    countries
    to
    reach
    a
    consensus
    by
    the
    end
    of
    2020
    on
    an
    international
    solution.
    Both
    France
    and
    the
    United
    States
    are
    involved
    in
    the
    organization'
    s
    work,
    but
    France's
    digital
    services
    tax
    and
    the
    American
    response
    raise
    questions
    about
    what
    the
    future
    holds
    for
    the
    international
    tax
    system.
    France`s
    planned
    tax
    is
    a
    clear
    warning:
    Unless
    a
    broad
    consensus
    can
    be
    reached
    on
    reforming
    the
    international
    tax
    system,
    other
    nations
    are
    likely
    to
    follow
    suit,
    and
    American
    companies
    will
    face
    a
    cascade
    of
    different
    taxes
    from
    dozens
    of
    nations
    that
    will
    prove
    burdensome
    and
    costly.

    ________________

    We
    know
    that
    a
    typical
    infant
    will
    instinctively
    gaze
    into
    its
    mother's
    eyes,
    and
    she
    will
    look
    back
    .
    This
    mutual
    gaze
    is
    a
    major
    part
    of
    the
    attachment
    between
    mother
    and
    child.
    In
    adulthood,
    looking
    someone
    else
    in
    a
    pleasant
    way
    can
    be
    a
    complimentary
    sign
    of
    paying
    attention.
    It
    can
    catch
    someone's
    attention

    a

    “Eye

    and
    smile“

    signal

    common-sense
    notion

    With
    the

    Julia
    Minson
    of
    the
    Harvard
    Kennedy
    School
    of
    Government
    concluded
    that
    eye
    contact
    can
    signal
    very
    different
    kinds
    of
    messages,
    depending
    on
    the
    situation
    While
    eye
    contact
    may
    be
    a
    sign
    of
    connection
    or
    trust
    in
    friendly
    situations,
    it's
    more
    likely
    to
    be
    associated
    with
    dominance
    OF
    intimidation
    in
    adversarial
    situations.
    Whether
    you're
    a
    politician
    or
    a
    parent,
    it
    might
    be
    helpful
    to
    keep
    'in
    mind
    that
    trying
    to
    maintain
    eye
    contact
    may
    backfire
    if
    you're
    trying
    to
    convince
    someone
    who
    has
    a
    different
    set

    Following
    the
    explosion
    of
    creativity
    in
    Florence
    during
    the
    14th
    century
    known
    as
    the
    Renaissance,
    the
    modern
    world
    saw
    a
    departure
    from
    what
    it
    had
    once
    known.
    It
    turned
    from
    God
    and
    the
    authority
    of
    the
    Roman
    Catholic
    Church
    and
    instead
    favoured
    a
    more
    humanistic
    approach
    to
    being.
    Renaissance
    ideas
    had
    spread
    throughout
    Europe
    well
    into
    the
    17th
    century,
    with
    the
    arts
    and
    sciences
    flourishing
    extraordinarily
    among
    those
    with
    a
    more
    logical
    disposition.
    46.With
    (the
    gap
    between)
    the
    church's
    teachings
    and
    ways
    of
    thinking
    being
    eclipsed
    by
    the
    Renaissance,
    the
    gap
    between
    the
    medieval
    and
    modern
    periods
    had
    been
    bridged,
    leading
    to
    new
    and
    unexplored
    intellectual
    territories.
    During
    the
    Renaissance,
    the
    great
    minds
    of
    Nicolaus
    Copernicus,
    Johannes
    Kepler
    and
    Galileo
    Galilei
    demonstrated
    the
    power
    of
    scientific
    study
    and
    discovery.
    47.
    Before
    each
    of
    their
    revelations,
    many
    thinkers
    at
    the
    time
    had
    sustained
    more
    ancient
    ways
    of
    thinking,
    including
    the
    geocentric
    view
    that
    the
    Earth
    was
    at
    the
    centre
    of
    our
    universe.
    Copernicus
    theorized
    in
    1543
    that
    in
    actual
    fact,
    all
    of
    the
    planets
    that
    we
    knew
    of
    revolved
    not
    around
    the
    Earth,
    but
    the
    Sun,
    a
    system
    that
    was
    later
    upheld
    by
    Galileo
    at
    his
    own
    expense.
    Offering
    up
    such
    a
    theory
    during
    a
    time
    of
    high
    tension
    between
    scientific
    and
    religious
    minds
    was
    branded
    as
    heresy,
    and
    any
    such
    heretics
    that
    continued
    to
    spread
    these
    lies
    were
    to
    be
    punished
    by
    imprisonment
    or
    even
    death.
    Galileo
    was
    excommunicated
    by
    the
    Church
    and
    imprisoned
    for
    life
    for
    his
    astronomical
    observations
    and
    his
    support
    of
    the
    heliocentric
    principle.

    48.
    Despite
    attempts
    by
    the
    Church
    to
    strong-arm
    this
    new
    generation
    of
    logicians
    and
    rationalists,
    more
    explanations
    for
    how
    the
    universe
    functioned
    were
    being
    made,
    and
    at
    a
