.... and cleaning house; they were not fit for a lady. She taught her children to always act with decorum. She adored the singing of the birds and the smell of flowers. Her children were expected to behave properly and to please her, always. Mrs. Hemingway treated Ernest, when he was a small boy, as if he were a female baby doll and she dressed him accordingly. This arrangement was alright until Ernest got to the age when he wanted to be a "gun-toting Pawnee Bill". He began, at that time, to pull away from his mother, and never forgave her for his humiliation. The town of Oak Park, where Ernest grew up, was very old fashioned and quite religi .....

.... After that they went to Italy until 1935, but political issues forced them to move first to Switzerland, then to Belgium. In 1941when World War II started and German troops occupying Brussels, Escher returned to Holland and settled in Baarn, where he lived and worked until shortly before his death. His work mostly unnoticed until the 1950's. Among his first admirers were mathematicians, who saw that his work was the visualization of many mathematical principals and ideas. This was remarkable because he had never had any math courses after high school, where he had learned only the basics. As his work developed he read more about mathematics and .....

.... was the occult domain of Mackenzie King, a man virtually devoid of policy, a political palm reader forever checking the whims and moods of his powerful baronial-Ralston Howe, St. Laurent-and sometimes Byronian colleagues to see how best he could placate them, or calm them, or Heap his beatitudes upon them. Trudeau, from day one , was always more samurai than shaman. Even in his pre-leadership days, Trudeau's love of trial by combat was predominant. Mackenzie King would have never touched the unholy trinity of divorce, abortion and homosexuality: each one of these issues is a sleeping dog best left to lie; each could only infuriate conservat .....

.... case of typhoid fever. By 1907, I was ready to attend school again, this time at New York City’s Art Students League. I continued to enjoy my success almost without interruption. I began a series of one-year teaching positions which I held in Amarillo, Texas in 1912-1913, as a drawing supervisor in its elementary schools; at Columbia College, South Carolina, in 1915-1916; and at west Texas Normal College in 1916-1917, and I taught summers at the University of Virginia. Despite my studies at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Students League of New York, the University of Virginia, and Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York, .....

.... remark that changed the way he thought of himself. His seventh-grade teacher read one of his poems and told him that he was a writer. He believed her, and continued to think of himself as one. Later, a teacher at Fitchburg State College was so impressed with one of Cormier's stories that she submitted it to a magazine; it became his first published work. After college, Cormier went on to write commercials for a local radio station, and soon switched to newspaper work. He was a writer and editor at the Fitchburg Sentinel for 23 years, where he won three major journalism awards. He later wrote short stories for popular magazines such as McCall's and th .....

The reports prepared by the accountant are useful for managers, and also for owners, creditors and the public. Based on information in the reports the public can use the reports to choose a company to invest in. Because a financial accountant is employed by an individual company, she is considered a private accountant. Another type of accountant is a tax accountant. A tax accountant prepares yearly tax returns for individual clients. The accountants have to use constant data such as rates of pay and other informat .....

.... from that time period. Ptolemy used a method of consulting lists of lunar phases, and planetary movements complied over many centuries to look for any similarities or regular patterns. The patterns that were discovered could then predict the next occurrence of such an event. Ptolemy eventually devised an ancient form of nautical almanac or "ephemeris". Mathematics could now not only be used to predict but to demonstrate whether a particular theory was correct or not. Ptolemy developed several theories of his own contrary to the beliefs of many other Greek astrologers at the time. He upheld that the "heavens" consisted of bodies orbitin .....

.... to the rank of captain by 1801, when he accepted an invitation from President Thomas Jefferson, an old family friend, to serve as his private secretary.

Jefferson had many reasons for employing the explorers. A boundless curiosity for botany, zoology, and geography was one of Jefferson’s main reasons. Also Jefferson wanted to establish communication and some interaction with the Indians. The purchase of the Louisiana Territory was an entirely unexpected o .....
