“Research has proven that people who use a worry time find themselves worrying 35 percent less of the time within four weeks.” Don’t ya love the certainty of percentages and the unspecified “research”? So, the idea is that if you make an appointment with yourself that between 5.00 and 5.30 pm every day, for instance, you will worry, you’ll worry less the rest of the day.

They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive.  […]
