As we diverge, our languages are naturally going to diverge.

Positions diverge with regard to the inclusion of existing stocks of nuclear material.

This is where the stories offered by the State and the boy diverge slightly.

And curiously, in these systems, as they grow larger, the systems don't converge they diverge more.

Now, here's where our analogy with the Gold Rush starts to diverge, and I think rather severely.

Initiatives that diverge from the drug control policies of the international community undermine efforts to implement the drug control treaties.

And what I want to do in this talk is to split them apart figuring out when they diverge and how they converge.

The children of those who diverge from or who are ostracized by the ruling elite are discriminated against in their access to services.

Recognizing that countries diverge greatly in terms of their abilities to access, diffuse and use scientific and technological knowledge, most of which is generated in developed countries,

In short, on many of the most important current international issues, Americans and Europeans share the same objectives and basic goals. Where they often diverge is in the means to achieve them.

So, even if the eurozone s structure is modified to achieve the desired level of fiscal discipline and balance, in its current highly decentralized structure, countries will continue to diverge in other important respects. Divergence in policies and convergence in outcomes is not a realistic expectation.

Courts, in many States, have established a clear position as to the circumstances in which article VII(1) may be applied to uphold arbitration agreements where the form requirement set out in article II(2) would otherwise not be met, but those positions diverge from one State to another.

For me they normally happen, these career crises, often, actually, on a Sunday evening, just as the sun is starting to set, and the gap between my hopes for myself, and the reality of my life, start to diverge so painfully that I normally end up weeping into a pillow.

In politics, it seems counterintuitive to engage in dialogue with violent groups, with radicals and terrorists, and with the states that support them. But Jonas Gahr Støre, the foreign minister of Norway, makes a compelling case for open discussion, even when values diverge, in an attempt to build greater security for all.

To be sure, on many issues the interests of corporate insiders overlap with those of investors, and here insiders can be expected to lobby in directions that are consistent with the interests of shareholders. But there are also important issues on which the interests of insiders and outside investors can sharply diverge.

This argument is supported by the observation that domestic steel prices in developed countries have tended to diverge from international prices over time, a phenomenon that would not occur if subsidies were the only significant distortion to steel markets, particularly since tariffs are relatively low and have not increased over time. Figure 3 shows one example.

We know that powerful technological and global market forces have reduced dramatically the number of routine professional and blue collar jobs, shifted employment options for the middle class toward the non tradable side of the economy, and channeled growth in national income toward capital and high end employment, with stagnating income elsewhere. Job creation remains weak, and employment continues to diverge from growth.

This multidimensional approach may have its constraints, but because there are some similarities between A 5 and the food for thought paper, I envisage the possibility that we might, at the end of the exercise, clearly identify and narrow down to where they diverge and concentrate our efforts, including through consultations, to achieve common ground on reaching a programme of work.

Clearly, the key features of Silicon Valley that foster innovation and entrepreneurship a dense concentration of human talent, a competitive spirit, easy access to capital, and a supportive regulatory environment can be replicated in and adapted to a wide variety of contexts. Indeed, these pillars of creativity and progress have been erected even in countries whose economies, politics, and cultures diverge sharply from those of the United States.
