Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Measure of the Rule Perhaps thou wert a Mason, and forbidden By oath to tell the secrets of thy trade. 'Address to an Egyptian Mummy. The short winter day, increasingly cold, was drawing to a close as the train, ninety minutes late, came to a standstill under the lofty canopy of the Union Station. For hours and hours it had crunched along over a frozen land, losing time because of slippery Trails and accumulated snow. With the ending of that railway journey a section of my own life had reached its conclusion; for, like the train that carried me, hitherto I had been losing time. On the previous day an ambitious friend, solemnly bidding me farewell, suddenly realized to the full the importance of i the plunge I was making, and put the question - "How old are you?" "Twenty-three," I replied. "How old are you?" "Thank God, I'm only nineteen," was his fervent answer. To-day, I being well on in years, there seems an element of humour in that brief conversation, but it was serious enough at the time, and, for a moment, this four years' handicap pressed its weight upon my shoulders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Download or read book The Rule of Law and the Measure of Property written by Jeremy Waldron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-21 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When property rights and environmental legislation clash, what side should the Rule of Law weigh in on? It is from this point that Jeremy Waldron explores the Rule of Law both from an historical perspective - considering the property theory of John Locke - and from the perspective of modern legal controversies. This critical and direct account of the relation between the Rule of Law and the protection of private property criticizes the view - associated with the 'World Bank model' of investor expectations - that a society which fails to protect property rights against legislative restriction is failing to support the Rule of Law. In this book, developed from the 2011 Hamlyn Lectures, Waldron rejects the idea that the Rule of Law privileges property rights over other forms of law and argues instead that the Rule of Law should endorse and applaud the use of legislation to achieve valid social objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Rule Problems A consideration which influenced us in our meetings and in our desire to publish this Volume has been the belief that it is the duty Of all anxious for a Home Rule policy to make up' minds beforehand on the important details Of the measure. The last two Bills were killed largely by the attacks made on details we must not be caught napping once more. Some would have us wait till the Government have produced their Bill, but that might be too late. On such matters the views Of the country always prevail in the long run: it is better that such views should be evoked beforehand, not afterwards, especially, in regard to acute points of controversy. Moreover, the impetus to carry through Home Rule will be far greater if an interest in its details has been previously aroused by widespread consideration and discussion..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Measure of the Circle: Perfected in January, 1845 I was advised to introduce my work at Cambridge, in Eng land. I did so and was told that the impossibility was so great that a man might as well try to shoot the moon. I was recommended to G. B. Arry, professor royal at Green wich. I called on this gentleman. He replied to me that it was not worth while for me to puzzle my brains about the measure of the circle, for it was measured as near as it ever could be and he did not see what use it was, or ever could be, to them. Now, it seems to me that this gentleman must be in an error, and grossly mistaken; for I cannot see how he can pretend to hold out to the people a complete traverse of the stars, with out the knowledge of the measure of the circle, unless he may think it as well to teach the world a falsehood as the truth.

Download or read book First Break All the Rules written by Marcus Buckingham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-02-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world’s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. They differ in sex, age, and race. They employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They consistently disregard the golden rule. And, yes, they even play favorites. This amazing book explains why. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies; others were key players in small entrepreneurial companies. Whatever their situations, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup’s research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee’s talent into performance. In today’s tight labor markets, companies compete to find and keep the best employees, using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer. The authors explain how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience; how they set expectations for him or her — they define the right outcomes rather than the right steps; how they motivate people — they build on each person’s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his weaknesses; and, finally, how great managers develop people — they find the right fit for each person, not the next rung on the ladder. And perhaps most important, this research — which initially generated thousands of different survey questions on the subject of employee opinion — finally produced the twelve simple questions that work to distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. This book is the first to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover. There are vital performance and career lessons here for managers at every level, and, best of all, the book shows you how to apply them to your own situation.

Download or read book Inflation Measure Taylor Rules and the Greenspan Bernanke Years written by Yash P. Mehra and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The Federal Reserve under Chairman Alan Greenspan was forward looking, smoothed interest rates, and focused on core inflation. The semi-annual monetary policy reports indicate that the measure of inflation used in monetary policy deliberations has also been refined over time: for most of the Greenspan period before 2000, inflation forecasts used the consumer price index, but in the early 2000s, inflation forecasts switched to using the core personal consumption expenditures deflator. This article estimates two forward-looking Taylor rules that differ only with respect to the measure of inflation used over 1987:1-1006:4. The results highlight the importance of using real-time information in evaluating historical monetary policy actions. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Straight Shoulder Rules Systems and Methods of the Present Day written by Oliver Taylor Doolittle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Straight Shoulder Rules, Systems and Methods of the Present Day: Coats and Vests There is nothing egotistical in the above mention of the old, as it is an open secret with all experienced cutters that they can produce but poor results working out problems from only the knowledge first taught them. It is from years of actual experience of the many old, and from their unpractical workings, that this book is evolved. It embodies all that is essential to guide one right from the start. First we have the proportionate rule foundation and that based on principle, with proof of the points and location as going together in harmony with each other; the established center, to prove from as a rule without proofs, is not to be relied upon, and one that proves as to points located must necessarily prove itself right. A good rule must be based on principle, and by it proportion to work from. The better the proportion (and all are not of the same) as to their points and location, the better the rule to apply measures as taken to govern. Different rules and systems have different points of location, and when measures are applied as taken. To a draft in drafting, points are placed in a position to apply measures that do not go as placed nor as taken, in most rules, to quite a space; and, in couse quence of it all, points are out of proper location and not in harmony as they go together. The measurement rule to draft by measure, having the proportion as a guide, it will be found often of great assistance to help decisions, especially for the long-neck form; that no rule governs the location as well as the use of proportion to locate the front shoulder-point in har mony with the back, as to the extra depth taken for back scye depth, while the measure taken for the stooping form may call for as long, the front strap measure would locate for it, while not in the long, erect neck form. If a measure could be so taken on any part of shoulder of the form by the holding of tape to it and feeling for the location to locate by and then to apply it on a flat surface, as that of taking over the round in the same twistings and turns, there may be in it more than guess-work, surely no certainty of good result and one of the many that are not practical in the old.

This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Rules Which Govern the Interpretation and Construction of Statutory and Constitutional Law The treatise upon the Interpretation and Application of Stat utery and Constitutional Law, like that upon the Measure of°dam ages by the same author, has been, from the date of its publication, regarded as a legal classic. Based, in the main, ' upon the decisions of American courts, and discussing the principles of statutory con struction as they have been expounded and illustrated by those tribunals, it has been far more useful to the American lawyer, and has been more readily accepted as a guide and helper by American judges, than any work upon the same subject founded chiefly upon English precedents and drawing its materials from English sources. Originally published in the year 1857, the first impression was long ago exhausted, and a new edition has long been demanded. This want is now supplied, and a new edition is offered to the profession. It is proper for the editor to explain its plan, and the nature and scope of the additions which he has made.
