Poor Relations Text

[Darios Uclaray]

Book6: Back in Society: The last book in the series. The poor relations help Lady Jane Fremney, who has been cast out after refusing to marry who her dad picked. They take her under their wings, and Harriet James (now Duchess of Rowcester) helps out by bringing Lady Jane into society (incognito). There are spies, assassination attempts, hijinks, mishaps, misunderstandings, falling in love, and marriages. And everything comes right in the end.

The opposition of translation into the mother tongue (L1 translation) vs.translation into the foreign language (L2 translation),with its clear relationship of superiority/inferiority in translation circles,is just one of a series of binary oppositions prevalent in the literature with an apparently similar relationship.These include principally (i)target language vs.source language,and (ii) original texts vs.translated texts.This paper examines what implications such oppositions might have for the L1 translation vs.L2 translation issue,particularly within the developing field of corpus linguistics,subsequently taking a look at some L1 and L2 translations and reflecting upon their degree of acceptability or unacceptability in the light of the discussions proposed .

im fc eindhoven any ideas why i cannot sign players from my senior affiliate sporting lisbon? i had a player on loan last season played every game for me and tried to get him back on loan but any of their players i go for the message come sup saying they wont allow it due to poor relationship between clubs staff?

first time ive ever seen it & have no idea why its happening

dont think so im in 2026 now i only have 1 file i overwrite it every night when i save the game

just finished the season and was able to loan players again...weather it will stop me again in the coming season im not sure ill find out later when i do signings before the new season

another strange one was if you have my save file youll notice a guy left wing called carlao who i loaned for the season from sporting..but his loan ran out 2 months before season ended & wouldnt extend it...on the day he went back to sporting i immediately asked to loan him again form next season and he accepted straight away where as he rejected the day before lol

been easier just to let me have him till end of season last 2 months

There's little we can do with the current save, but if you could perhaps change your settings to 'create new file for every save', and put on autosaves every so often, it would be a massive help to us when reporting issues.

Last week, I offered some preliminary thoughts on the relationship between Biblical and Systematic Theology. This week, I want to consider why it is that theology demands more than just harvesting the immediate results of the exegesis of biblical texts.

The patristic debates about God and Christ provide excellent examples. We all know that language of Trinity, hypostasis and substance is not there in scripture.* But Protestants use that terminology to set forth a grammar or metaphysical framework for understanding how the Bible names God. And the reasons why those creeds and confessions speak the way they do is intimately connected to the history of debate within the church.

Numerous models for understanding this pattern of development have been offered over the years. Perhaps the most famous example is that of Cardinal Newman who (while still a Protestant) wrote his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. A long and subtle work, his basic contention was that doctrine develops from the Bible as trees grow from seeds: the final product may not look like the original but is it continuous and consistent with it and its growth is also inevitable.

As attractive as it is, this approach is missing one important point: the role of controversy. Theologian Bernard Lonergan, sympathetically critiquing Newman, points out that doctrinal development is rarely, if ever, linear but rather happens dialectically, through the clash of opposing ideas. To put this in simple terms: one model for God and Christ is offered which is proved inadequate for dealing with the biblical testimony; and in the process by which it is found wanting, new models are proposed, and so on and so forth until there is some definitive resolution of the question at hand. So the various modalist and subordinationist debates of the fourth century lead eventually to the Nicene Creed at the Council of Constantinople in 381.

This point about the subsequent logic of theological debates after the Trinitarian question has been resolved at Constantinople in 381 has been made (critically) by Brian Daley in his recent volume, God Visible. Nicene orthodoxy sets the terms and provides the foundational concepts of later Christological discussion. I made much the same argument, though more appreciatively and at a much more popular level, in my book, The Creedal Imperative.

The same applies to other doctrines. For example, those of divine simplicity, immutability, and impassibility can seem abstruse and counter-intuitive in the light of a surface reading of scripture. Yet far from being some kind of Greek philosophical intrusion onto the Christian faith, as the bogus bromides of a previous era held, in reality these concepts are vitally important to biblical, Christian, Trinitarian orthodoxy. Reflecting on the patristic development of Trinitarianism, Rowan Williams states clearly what is at stake in his recent book, Christ the Heart of Creation, p. 69:

And what Williams says here applies to the doctrine of God found in all churches and institutions which profess Nicene Trinitarianism and Chalcedonian Christology, whether Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic or most important from my own ecclesiastical perspective, Reformed. Even a quick glance at the Three Forms of Unity, the Westminster Standards, or the Second London Confession makes it abundantly clear that they each affirm that God is simple, immutable, and impassible. This Nicene faith is Protestant orthodoxy too.

As a postscript, anyone concerned that the biblical doctrine of God is either unpreachable or unpastoral might want to see how pastor Liam Goligher preaches simplicity in this sermon and how theologian Todd Billings explains in this article how he has found divine impassibility to be vital in his own time of illness.

* I am grateful to Rev. Chad Vegas for reminding me that 'hypostasis' is found in Heb. 1:3. I should have expressed myself more clearly on this point: the meaning of the term, as debated and used by the Fathers, is not an obvious given in scripture.

The Alliance is a coalition of pastors, scholars, and churchmen who hold the historic creeds and confessions of the Reformed faith and who proclaim biblical doctrine in order to foster a Reformed awakening in today's Church.

Airlines remain, literally, the poor relations in the aviation family. A new report commissioned by IATA and using analysis carried out by McKinsey & Company compares the return on invested capital achieved by airlines and by other players in the aviation value chain.

All other parts of the value chain make higher returns than airlines, whose returns are consistently below the cost of capital. The fuel supply industry and labour capture significant value from air transport. With an estimated USD4-5 trillion of new capital required to fund the growth of air travel in emerging markets over the next 20 years, this situation may become unsustainable, the more so as governments increasingly resile from supporting their national airlines.

The IATA report was intended to provoke fresh thinking and calls for a more partnership-based approach across the value chain. The biggest hurdle is likely to remain the highly complex web of bilateral air service agreements restricting market access and airline ownership and control.

The weighted average cost of capital is the average return expected by both debt and equity investors, weighted according to the proportion of each in the overall capital of the industry. It is calculated using a formula known as the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which has long been the standard approach adopted by investors and bankers.

ROIC is calculated by using an after tax operating profit figure (i.e. profits before paying debt interest) and the total capital invested in the industry (excluding goodwill). Both are adjusted to reflect operating leased aircraft, which are not included in invested capital under current accounting standards.

The profit figure is adjusted by adding back a portion of lease payments considered to be the equivalent of debt interest (the remaining portion of lease payments is equivalent to depreciation) and the invested capital figure is adjusted by adding the value of capitalised operating leases.

In theory, in an industry where market forces operated freely to create an efficiently competitive market, ROIC should equal the WACC. If ROIC is greater than the WACC, this should attract new entrants until the excess returns are competed away.

Similarly, if ROIC is less than the WACC, this should create an incentive for investors to withdraw their capital, thereby reducing the number of competitors until returns increase to the required level (i.e. the WACC).

In reality, some industries consistently achieve excess returns (ROIC > WACC), often due to structural or regulatory factors. In any regulated industry, entry - and exit - are typically distorted in some way. The airline sector achieves one of the lowest levels of ROIC of any industry and is one of the few that consistently fails to meet its WACC.

There is some evidence that returns vary by airline business model and geographical region, but, in aggregate, all have failed to generate ROIC in excess of WACC through the business cycle. On an individual basis, there are some airlines that have achieved their WACC through the business cycle (e.g. Ryanair), but they are very much the exception.

In all of the major global regions for air transport, low-cost carriers have generated higher returns in aggregate than network carriers. However, during 2004 to 2011 even the LCCs failed to meet their WACC in aggregate, although they came closest in Europe.
