In history, many researchers attempted to explain the relation between religion and morality. Because the researchers had different standpoints and views on religion and morality so their views on the relation between religion and morality were also different from each other. Basing on views of historical materialism, Marxist classics affirmed that both religion and morality were created by human beings. Religion and morality were not products of supernatural forces.

A final point must be made related to the structural idiosyncracies of the ME and their characterization. The industry is less capital intensive than most other manufacturing industries. Although factory automation has always been an important topic, the opportunities are limited even for flexible automation. Single-unit and small-batch production as well as the high share of engineering and customization narrow the economic advantage of engaging in full-blown automation. For ME, compensation of labour is around 3 to 3.5 times higher than compensation of capital. ...

The paired cards, four from the left and three from the right are then divided into two piles, forming two identical piles containing seven cards (an odd number). But because all the way through you’ve been stressing, “Here’s a pair”, your volunteer hasn’t noticed. They assume both piles are even. Yes, it’s another mind slip to cover the simple maths. With two piles of seven cards, adding the last single card turns that pile into an eight. So when you count them off two by two they are a full set of four even pairs. The spectator wonders, “Where did...

Once an agreement about how to handle the transaction has been reached, it must be executed to completion according to the plan— node failure and related problems cannot cause the transaction to abort. If a node fails, it can recover from a replica that had been executing the same plan in parallel, or alternatively, it can replay the history of planned activity for that node. Both parallel plan execution and replay of plan history require activity plans to be deterministic—otherwise replicas might diverge or history might be repeated incorrectly.

The study examines statistic and economic importance of fund characteristics to its performance. In the literature, evidence is sparse and mixed on developed markets, let alone that on emerging markets. Rather than focusing on one particular characteristic, this study draws on the evidence from five important characteristics in the literature, which offer theoretical and empirical support.

Figure 1 below projects pension fund assets if pensions had continued to earn on average a 4.5 percent nominal rate of return in the period since the end of 2007. Under this assumption, state and local pension fund assets would have been $857 billion...
