...The 22nd Amendment sets a two-term limit on the office of the President. The limit on the President’s tenure was inspired by George Washington, who established the custom of Presidents voluntarily leaving the office after two terms. The move was seen as an important safeguard against tyrannical power. In 1947, a Republican-controlled Congress sent a 22nd Amendment to the states for ratification, and on February 27, 1951, the amendment was finally ratified. Congress and the president are very different however, one branch being controlled by one person, and the other controlled by hundreds. Many Americans argue that term limits could bring in more ideas and get more done in the shorter time congressmen would have. On the other hand, many feel that longer serving members bring experience to the table that new members lack. Pros to term limits includes new ideas constantly being brought to the table and a better lack of corruption, while cons are lack of experience and the fact that they are seen as unnecessary. One positive of term limits would constantly be bringing in new ideas to the Senate and the House. With a constant shuffle of new members, congressmen would be fresher and more “up to date” on the current issues facing America. Cycling leaders in...

Equations are frequently used for: 1 writing programs as sets of equations, 2 defining interpreters of programming languages, 3 requirements specification in software engineering, 4 reasoning about program and system properties and implementing its (automated) verification, 5 modeling computational systems. 2 Salvador Lucas FIT’09 Introduction to Term Rewriting: Techniques and Applications Equational reasoning The following equations : x +0 = x x + (−x) = 0 (x + y ) + z x +y = x + (y + z) = y +x express the axioms of Abelian groups (zero element, inverse element, associativity, and commutativity). Variables x, y , z are universally quantified here. Given this set of equations E , we are interested in answering questions like: is 0 + x = x (more precisely: (∀x) 0 + x = x) a consequence of E ?

...the merits (PROS) and the drawbacks or costs (CONS) of alternatives. More then a simple pros/cons evaluation, this tool forces you to look at ways of ''FIXING” the CONS - resulting in a final 'picture' of the merits and costs (costs = the fixes, along with the cons you can't fix) for a particular alternative. This is a good technique to use when you have only a couple of alternatives to consider. This tool is also good to use when you have identified one or two remaining alternatives after using other tools (eg. Simple Ranking or SMART) to do a 'reality check' and cost/benefit analysis. I have also seen students use it effectively for indentifying linked decision to a particular alternative and implementation planning. 1. Write down the alternative you plan to evaluate 2. List up all the benefits you can. Use a white board for this, or post-it notes. Then consolidate these by combining and organizing them. (eg. combine those that are similar or redundant by expressing it as one Pro, and eliminate any frivolers PROS that are not important). Write down the consolidated PROS in the template PROS box. 3. Now list up all the Cons (using white board, or post-it notes). Organize and consolidate as you did with the PROS. Write down the consolidated CONS in the box. 4. Now get creative and look at how you can eliminate a each CON by ‘FIXING IT’. For example, say you were assessing the alternative ‘To Get Married’, and a CON listed was ‘May Divorce and lose everything...

...of musical terms that are likely to be encountered in printed scores, music reviews, and program notes. Most of the terms are Italian (see also Italian musical terms used in English), in accordance with the Italian origins of many European musical conventions. Sometimes, the special musical meanings of these phrases differ from the original or current Italian meanings. Most of the other terms are taken from French and German, indicated by "(Fr)" and "(Ger)", respectively. Others are from languages such as Portuguese, Latin, and Spanish. Unless specified, the terms are Italian or English. The list can never be complete: some terms are common, and others are used only occasionally, and new ones are coined from time to time. Some composers prefer terms from their own language rather than the standard terms here.

...Con artists make money through deception. They lie, cheat and fool people into thinking they've happened onto a great deal or some easy money, when they're the ones who'll be making money. If that doesn't work, they'll take advantage of our weaknesses -- loneliness, insecurity, poor health or simple ignorance. The only thing more important to a con artist than perfecting a con is perfecting a total lack of conscience. What does the average con artist look like? Despite what you may think, he isn't always a shady-looking character. A con artist is an expert at looking however he needs to look. If the con involves banking or investments, the con artist will wear a snappy suit. If it involves home improvement scams, he'll show up wearing well-worn work clothes. Even the basic assumption that the con is a "he" is incorrect: there are plenty of con women too. You might think you can spot a con artist because he's someone you instinctively "don't trust." But the term con artist is short for confidence artist -- they gain your confidence just long enough to get their hands on your money. They can be very charming and persuasive. A good con artist can even make you believe he is really an old friend you haven't seen in years. Con artists do share certain characteristics, however. Even the best con can only go on for so long before people start getting suspicious. For that reason, con artists tend to move frequently. They may have a job that allows this, or they might claim to...
