For example, it seems that cement cartels exist almost everywhere.

Surprisingly, the bond market still seems almost oblivious to this risk. But holders of US debt worldwide have every reason to be concerned.

You might find a mind that's very dull and boring, and it's just, almost mechanical, it just seems it's as if you're getting up, going to work, eat, sleep, get up, work.

The combination of ethnic and sectarian fears and rivalries, historical memories, and willful blindness among outside powers seems almost predestined to destabilize the entire Middle East again. Turkey is resurgent yet troubled

Against this background, it seems anachronistic to consider the possibility of establishing anything like a unified currency in Asia, where institutional disparities are far deeper, and the variety of economic shocks far greater, than in Europe. To hope for a unified currency in Asia seems almost like hoping for the region s own Greek crisis.

Though Russia today is autocratically governed, the introduction of a Chinese style dictatorship seems hardly plausible, while GDP per capita was 15,800 last year, or almost three times that of China. Yet a majority of the Chinese population seems to support its government s policies, including its brutal suppression of minorities and denial of democratic freedoms.

This is the Thatcher solution, which took almost everyone by surprise. Angela Merkel was sometimes called the German Iron Lady, and that seems to have scared enough people to rob her of an expected victory.

The decision will almost certainly be appealed, and the final outcome seems likely to depend on the appellate judges interpretations of Canadian law. But Smith s verdict on the ethics of assistance in dying and of the facts regarding jurisdictions, like the Netherlands and Oregon, that have it seems likely to stand for a long time to come.

The refrain of his winning song, Together 1992, was Unite, unite Europe. Almost 20 years later, the Swedish band Europe s hit song, The Final Countdown, seems more appropriate for the euro area with every passing day.

Would it be a great disaster if Iran had nuclear weapons? As a habitual contrarian, I pose the question because almost everyone seems to believe that it would, and that it must be prevented at all costs.

It seems overwhelming.

She seems rich.

Everything seems OK.

Tom seems tough.

Indeed, beyond the fact that China will be in charge, almost nothing is known about the bank or its financing rules. Given this, it seems logical for countries like Japan to wait and see before deciding whether to join the AIIB.

He seems very interested in musical theatre and the like, and he also seems quite adept.

JC That seems dangerous.

It seems so elementary.

This seems most likely.

Which one seems longer?

It seems very ambitious.

This problem seems difficult.

Your suggestion seems reasonable.

My life seems unreal.

It seems very interesting.

Mr David seems tired.

This seems very difficult!

It seems so familiar.

Almost no overlap. Almost no overlap. And what has happened?

But, judging by the appetite shown worldwide for this narrative, it seems clear that identification with such adventures is almost universal. It seems to speak to a deep longing in men and in the women who also enjoy these films and TV shows for a time in one s life when one could dash toward freedom, adventure, and self reinvention, unencumbered by social ties and family obligations.

Almost.

For someone so smitten with old papers, getting support from the National Trust and Arts Council England and living in a castle for almost four months ( I overstayed my welcome a little bit, to be honest ) seems too good to be true.

If there is a formal leadership contest, it seems likely that several rival candidates will aim to stand. But almost all authoritative observers seem to agree that Brown is by far the most likely man to be the next Labour prime minister.

Increasing the tax burden seems almost a natural part of such a mindset, as does ignorance of the need for increased economic competition. Without that, and a renewed focus on growth, Japan will continue to climb down the global ladder of success.

Technocracy, it seems, can work well as long as most people feel that they are benefiting materially, as was true in Europe for almost 50 years, and might still be true in China. But its legitimacy cracks as soon as a crisis erupts.

But hope the thing with feathers, as the American poet Emily Dickinson put it often bears little resemblance to realities on the ground. Indeed, looking earthward, the beauty of the Arab Spring seems to have given way to an almost unbearable winter.

However, we would find it very difficult to justify our support for funding the activities of the ICTY and the ICTR out of the regular budget if it were to begin to look like support for what seems like an almost indefinite period.

Steven Weinberg, the Nobel laureate, once said, The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it seems pointless.

I know that seems ludicrous.

But this place... it seems...

It seems to be magic.

And somehow that seems wrong.

He seems to be asleep.

He seems to be rich.

He seems to be ill.
