The three economists noted research showing that people's evaluations of their lives "differ significantly and systematically among countries"; that within countries, subgroups differ widely in their levels of happiness; that unemployment and major disabilities have lasting influences on well-being; and that the happiness of migrants approximates that of their new country, instead of their country of origin.

CNN then calculated the total number of applications by mailing address ZIP code and -- because ZIP codes represent postal delivery routes, not geographic areas -- used geospatial data from the US Census Bureau to match applications to their corresponding ZIP Code Tabulation Area, or ZCTA, a census unit that approximates the geographic areas served by ZIP code routes.

Büttner further explores the concept of shame in her various uses of moss: an abstract sculpture made of gypsum approximates the feeling and texture of moss; a collection of stereoscopic slides created by Harold and Patricia Whitehouse includes 3D close-ups of different moss varieties; and a slab of limestone is host to live, growing moss.

" I asked Professor Kim at UC Santa Cruz before she saw Crazy Rich Asians what it would take for an Asian male to transcend the decades-long portrayals of meekness and kung-fu tough guyness, and this was her assessment: "When his character approximates Western notions of masculinity: (hetero)sexually dominant, having economic power, and often holding a demonstrable physique.

In 24DMark Time Spy, a synthetic benchmark that approximates the performance of a high quality DirectX 12 game, the Ryzen 7 2700u scored a respectable 915, which actually puts it on par with a discrete graphics solution like the Intel i7-7500U and Nvidia GeForce 83M combo you might see in something like the Medion D17KHN or last year's Surface Book.

Writer-director Dean DeBlois (a veteran of all three films) juggles a whole lot of moving parts, as well as disparate tones, specifically in the lyrical nature of Toothless' interaction with a female Night Fury dragon -- scenes played silently for long stretches, other than John Powell's lush score, in a manner that almost approximates a nature film -- and Hiccup's familiar assortment of comic-relief sidekicks.

Other ways in which our experiences are warped by algorithmic platforms include Spotify possibly commissioning original music from "fake" artists to match the latent content desires of its audience, as Noisey noticed; delivery restaurants that are only virtual, conjuring a digital brand out of a shadowy group kitchen and serving food via Uber Eats; the surreal kids' YouTube videos, which exist because they are rewarded with views by the feed algorithm and thus earn their creators advertising profit; and the globalized visual vernacular of Airbnb interior decorating, which approximates a certain style emerging from the platform itself.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for Costco include: --Revenue grows at a mid-single digit rate annually due to 2% to 3% comps growth, excluding fuel and currency, and expansion; --EBITDA grows at a mid- single digit rate rising to above $0003 billion by fiscal 2019; --Gross margins and EBIT margin remain near current levels as the negative impact of rising fuel prices on gross margins and information technology spending on SG&A are offset by benefits of the new co-branded credit card and higher member fees; --FCF approximates $2 billion (excluding the $3.1 billion special dividend) in fiscal 2017 due to timing of vendor payments and at least $600 million thereafter.
