4、 leadership! One of the biggest obstacles which the church faces today is the lack of vision, especially【 M4】 _ in its leaders. Although we set out with and towards a good【 M5】 _ vision, the church is just going to be a four-walled structure. Quite often, this results not just from lack of growth, b

His approach was【 M9】 _ “peopl
6、e dont know what they want. We tell them and give them that.“ How amazing it would be if believers have the【 M10】 _ same approach?

8、s dangerous for humans to get to space, to be in space and to return from space. Keeping robots operating reliably in space presents some unique challenges to engineers.

9、ending on whether the robot is in the sun light or shade. But, of course, there is【 M3】 _ almost no gravity. This is actually more of an opportunity than a challenge and leads to the possibility of some unique designs. The conceptual robot has 21 independent joints. On earth it would be possible for
10、 this robot to support its own【 M4】 _ weight, but in space, the design presents some unique capabilities. The robot can reach around obstacles and through out port holes. The robot also possesses a huge【 M5】 _ degree of fault tolerance. It can continue to operate with excellent dexterity even after
11、several joints fail.

Even those who are abnormal weight【 M3】 _ are gaining weight,“ said lead study author Ashlesha Datar, ser
15、ious economist at RAND Corp. in Santa Monica, Calif.【 M4】 _ Researchers analyzed data on to nearly 6,000 white, black and【 M5】 _ Hispanic children who participated in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study a nationally representative example and【 M6】 _ had their height and weight measure over nine y
