- 502: Karl Marx's Teachings and Capitalism
- ... surplus-value, the equation becomes C' = (c+v) +s (surplus-value). The rate of surplus-value, or the rate at which capital valorizes itself, therefore, is calculated by the formula s / v. During the working day, the worker performs two different types of labour. The first type, which involves the necessity of replenishment of the worker’s living costs, so that he is able to survive (read, ‘work again tomorrow’), is called “necessary labour-time”. This is the part of the working day that the worker is paid the value of his labour-power. The second part, which does not reflect any value in the eyes of the worker, (as he has already been paid), and by which ... labour / necessary labour. “The rate surplus-value is therefore an exact expression for the degree of exploitation of labour-power by capital, or of the worker by the capitalist.” Despite the fact that the working day can vary in duration, it can only do so within certain limits.

Chabert reaches Derville's study and is determined to find the lawyer to help him find justice for his infortunes, "... me suis-je d‚termin‚ … venir vous trouver. Je vous parlerai de mes malhers plus tard." Chabert demonstrates some energy left in him by his will to retrieve everything that he lost. This energy to gain back his power changes to furious and revengeful energy upon learning what his wife had done, "Les yeux de l'homme ‚nergique brillaient rallum‚s aux feux du d‚sir et de la vengeance." After a period of time, Chabert loses hope and bids farewell forever. He gives up his identity to become an unknown person as he realizes that his strength of character ... without pleasure, to remain poor and mediocre. This is a startling contrast to his past where he had been an ambitious man. Chabert's strength is decreasing as "Ses souffrances physiques et morales lui avaient d‚j… vici‚ le corps dans quelques-uns des organes les plus importantes." On the other hand, Madame Ferraud's rise to power results in a more persuasive, independent and high spirited woman. This is ...

- 506: Gettysburg
- ... the most dire circumstances. Perhaps even more impressive, the officers in blue were in "top form" for three consecutive days. A failure or let-down from even one of the critical players over that three day period could have easily erased R.E. Lee's only out-right defeat from the history books. Day 1, July 1, 1863 saw the start of the best three days of the AOP's life. Brigadier General John Buford, recognizing the fact that whoever held the high ground south of Gettysburg would control ... the senior officer on the field. Doubleday's performances before and after Gettysburg can best be described as mediocre. On July 1, however, he fought the battle of his life.

- ... Ethics In Business Ours is a business-centered society. No group in America is more influential than businessmen (Baumhart xv). Their influence, for good or evil, enters every life and every home many times each day. If this influence is good, the nation is strengthened; if it is evil, the nation is weakened. Obviously, the myriad decisions of businessmen will significantly determine our national health; ethical, as well as economic. Business ... tolerable, if not acceptable (Trudel 68). (Bill Clinton: Are you listening?) Accountability has slipped. Lawyer lies, those technically true but misleading statements are prevalent. Why is this happening? Two reasons: Greed and poor ethics. Present day Americans are not ethical. They are selfish, deceitful, egomaniacs only looking out for themselves. Today, if the economy is good, it is tolerable to be bad. Today, if you merely apologize for a heinous crime ... tip off a dishonest person that you are on to the behavior (Mulrine 77). Even if the talk goes well however, start a paper trail. Protect yourself. Precede a conversation with a memo saying: I d like to learn more about the process here.

- 510: Evolution of Profanity
- ... original (before being censored) Shakespearean works contain very offensive profanity, mostly religious, which is probably one of many reasons that his works were and are so popular. "Shakespeare pushed a lot of buttons in his day- which is one reason he was so phenomenally popular. Despite what they tell you, people like having their buttons pushed" (Macrone 6). Because his works contained so many of these profane words or phrases, they ... God, however, it becomes a horrible, blasphemous word, which is, to many, more offensive than fuck. This type of thinking goes back to the sixteenth century when religious curses were far worse than biological. G.D. goes back to 1697, when D. Defoe, in G. Hughes Swearing 209 said, "G.D. ye, does not sit well upon a female tongue" (Lighter 914). Swear words can be used in pairs such as "fucking bitch," and "fuck me ...
