Enjoy the verses all in rhyme, and remember to have a good time.
When getting serious with what is intense, relax and sit back for
the next line suspense. When the issues get serious and deep, these
verses were not intended to make you weep. The very realm goes into
trust of kind, it is interesting what violations of trust we might
find. Your voyage into this rhyme and verse may have you divert
encounters of much worse. It is your choice to venture beyond, but
some ideas may become fond. Enjoy this little taste of ones plight,
although it may not all seem right. The biggest event that seems
wrong, is abusive authority's law to provoke for too long. Those
who accuse a person of hostility, need to face their own sense of
humility. As their accused target is no threat, they want whatever
attention they can get. The sorrow is in observing such hate, when
they provoke and manipulate. Determined to watch and observe, it is
obvious they have a poor self-respecting nerve. When watching a
large framed agile being, their inner fear surfaces we are seeing.
To tarnish that seeming honored reputation state, is their goal
driven by hate. When they stake their reputation on this fact, they
manipulate others to react. Their opinion and directives upheld, so
desperate character attacks compelled. The war waged of ones
reputations respect, faced contradiction insults they detect. These
wonderful people hate to be wrong, as they want their direct
opinions to remain strong. Everyone having the goal, must honor the
interpretations of those in control. To dignify their respectful
appointed governance place, we work hard so they appear competent
to save face. The following issues are embellished in rhyme,
theverse, lyric, and rap intends to chime.
This book provides a timely examination of the effects of class
size reduction (CSR) on teaching and learning processes. It
represents a departure in that the research covered focuses solely
on the relationship between CSR and effective teaching in real
secondary school classrooms. The book also presents a much-needed
and powerful student voice on the impact of class size reduction on
teaching and learning processes. It conceptualises the effects of
class size on teaching and learning processes in secondary school
classrooms, which are another under-researched perspective in this
field. Drawing on multiple case studies concerning teaching and
learning processes in large and small Hong Kong secondary-school
classes, it highlights the qualitative differences in teaching and
learning processes. On the basis of those studies, the book argues
for a more purposeful, dynamic approach to education for teachers
working in small or reduced-size classes.
First published in 1985. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

In Purchase, Power and Persuasion: Essays on Political Philosophy,
Gary James Jason brings together his articles on political and
economic philosopher between 2004 and 2018. These articles touch on
issues surrounding two contrasting political systems: a complete
totalitarian system-the paradigm case of which was Nazi
Germany-versus a classical liberal system. In Part One of the
anthology, the essay topics include the breadth of the Nazi
Regime's propaganda machine, and as well as the nature and ethics
of propaganda. In Part Two, the essay topics include the nature and
variety of genocides, as well as how the Nazi Regime bought the
support of the German citizens, and whether National Socialism was
indeed a form of socialism. In Part Three, the essay topics
include: what 'classical liberalism' means; common myths about the
nature of capitalism; the nature of 'happiness economics'; the
basic ideas of Public Choice economics; Adam Smith's life and work;
the legitimacy of secession in America today; and how the American
economy compares to European ones. In Part Four, the topics include
the ethics of a nation restricting the emigration of trained
professionals, Gary Becker's proposals for immigration reform, and
my own proposals for immigration reform. Finally, in Part Five, the
topics include business ethics; the nature of American charity
today; the economic contributions of Smith, Marx, and Keynes; the
spread and value of liberal think-tanks; and the anti-Malthusian
economics of Julian Simon.
Cinematic Thoughts: Essays on Film and the Philosophy of Film is an
anthology of essays Gary Jason published (mainly) between 2012 and
2018. The book has seven parts. Part One consists of essays on
propaganda films. The topics include how the Nazi Regime used film
as a tool of propaganda, and its use of radio for propaganda. Part
Two contains articles on genocide and film. These include two broad
surveys of Holocaust documentaries, ranging from those that were
done at the end of WWII to Claude Lanzmann's work. Also included
are pieces reviewing the five major propaganda films the Nazi
Regime produced aimed at arousing anti-Semitism in the populace
leading up to the Holocaust. Part Three of the anthology concerns
ethical theory as explored in film. Included here are three essays
surveying how egoism is portrayed in classic movies, as well as one
showing how Rossian ethical theory can be used to analyze conflicts
of loyalty in classic war movies, and pieces illustrating virtue
ethics. Part Four includes various articles on the history of
cinema. One of the topics raised was whether the American film
industry produced better films under the old, allegedly
"monopolistic" studio system. Part Five of the anthology contains
articles on the aesthetics of film. The topics here include how
creativity can be portrayed in film, and why some great actors
never win Oscars. Part Six contains pieces on classical liberalism
in film, and Part Seven has miscellaneous articles on topics
ranging from artists to criminals.
This book assesses the extent to which British news organizations
gave exposure and credence to different political interpretations
of economics and business news in the decade before the 2008
Financial Crisis. Through the content analysis of some 1,600 news
items, this study provides compelling empirical evidence to inform
often theoretical debates about neoliberal assumptions in the
media. In each of the three pre-2008 case studies - economic
globalization, private finance and public services, and Tesco -
Merrill finds that the Telegraph, The Times, the Sunday Times and,
to varying extents, the Guardian-Observer and the BBC gave limited
exposure and credence to ideas from the left of the political
spectrum. As such, he builds an important comparative picture of
economic, business and financial journalism in the period before
the defining event of the decade, the effects of which continue to
resonate.
With only 10 days to go before England's crucial World Cup
Qualifier against Germany, national manager Glenn Gould resigns,
blaming Brendon Fendon, the FA's Machiavellian chief executive, of
taking an unhealthy interest in team affairs. A shortlist of
temporary replacement managers is drawn up -- the instant favourite
is Ron Atkinson. Brendan Fendon leaves for Brazil to attend a
career-enhancing FIFA conference on the elasticity of corner flags.
Meanwhile, Nottingham plumber and Sunday League manager Reg
Atkinson is concerned that his tender for the undersoil heating
contract at the new Wembley stadium will be lost in the latest
crisis to hit the England team. But he is soon reassured by a call
from the FA asking him to an interview. Reg quickly hones his
knowledge of the Swedish undersoil heating system and heads for
London. After a swift selection process, Brendan Fendon's stand-in
Sir Richard Scratcher appoints Atkinson and calls a press
conference to announce the new England boss. But, as the mass media
soon discover, the man taking the stage isn't Ron but Reg who has
signed a multi-million pound contract to take charge of the
national team. The press have a field day, but Brendan Fendon is
none the wiser as his delayed flight from Rio lands at Heathrow.
When the truth dawns he realises the only way out is to force Reg
to resign by preventing all England's stars from playing against
Germany. What does Reg do now? If he resigns he'll lose his money,
but if he continues, England will be forced to forfeit the match
and Germany will surely qualify. The press are camped outside Reg's
humble semi in Nottingham, he's suffered a mysterious break-in and
his plumbing business and the future of English football look like
going down the pan...

This study of Manchester football, by leading football historian
Gary James, considers the sport's emergence, development and
establishment through to its position as the city's leading team
sport. The period from 1840 to 1919 saw football in Manchester
develop from an inconsequential, occasionally outlawed activity,
into a major business with a variety of popular football clubs and
supporting industry. This book makes a distinct and original
contribution to the historiography of sport. It is the first
academic study into the development of association football in
Manchester, and is directly linked to the current state of
knowledge and debates within sports history on football's origins.
It adds regional focus to inform the wider debate, contextualising
the growth of the sport in the city and identifies communities who
propagated and developed football. Robust research should ensure
that this becomes the benchmark study of regional football. -- .
