REINHOLD BEGAS - LoveToKnow Article on REINHOLD BEGAS It has been suggested, however, that the origin of beg and beggars~ is to be found in a rare Old English word, bedecian, of the same meaning, which is apparently connected with the Gothic bidjan, cf. German betteln; but between the occurrence of bedecian at the end of the 9th century and the appearance of beggar and beg in the I3th, there is a blank, and no explanation can be given of the great change in form. The words appear first in English in the I3th century, and were early connected with bag, with reference to the receptacle for alms carried by the beggars. 94.1911encyclopedia.org /B/BE/BEGAS_REINHOLD.htm   (487 words)

allcomments.php?author=Anselm&email=anselmfinnan@aol.com My answer would be that having a mother and a father of limited means is far better than having two ‘mothers’ regardless of their intellectual and financial well being. My argument with you is that you NO NOT respect soc-con opinions and practices, believing falsely that urban voters are mostly liberal oriented. Half of my ‘distance’ family is American and each time I hear a Canadian sound off with verbal venom about my cousins, I know that we will lose the war on terror because the brain-dead hold power. andrewcoyne.com /allcomments.php?author=Anselm&email=anselmfinnan@aol.com   (10259 words)

E Timor open to compromise in oil row The occasion was overshadowed by a bitter dispute with its rich neighbour, Australia, over access to big oil and gas reserves beneath the Timor Sea that divides the two countries, resources which East Timor says would make the difference between economic self-sufficiency and "begging" for aid to survive. The boundary has been the centre of a protracted dispute between impoverished East Timor and its giant neighbour, with energy deposits worth an estimated $A30.4 billion in royalties at stake.

Illusio: December 2004 There are two strategies open to both players, namely, S1: Beggar thy neighbour by lowering advertising prices in your papers, magazines and broadcasts below fair prices, in order to bankrupt the competitor out of the market; and S2: Grow the pie by innovating and introducing new, different programmes and formats. Evidently, if one player adopts the nice-guy strategy, he'll be competed out of the market (and possibly his previous dominant position) if the competitor plays the beggar thy neighbour cards. A conversation with my friend over the cellphone drives other passengers in the same train compartment nuts even though the social transaction is solely between my friend and me. Laying cables to expand the national cable TV grid generates externalities by depriving drivers of an optimal road, for instance. akikonomu.blogspot.com /2004_12_01_akikonomu_archive.html   (3725 words)

BBC - Comedy Guide - Beggar My Neighbour The first series of Beggar My Neighbour reunited Peter Jones and Reg Varney in a kind of role-reversal to their boss/foreman positions in The Rag Trade Jones then left (it was said that he was reluctant to become involved in another long-running show) and was replaced by Desmond Walter-Ellis, but the format remained the same. A worthy keeping-up-with-the-Joneses sitcom, sprung from Comedy Playhouse and given added piquancy by the fact that the sparring neighbours were also related. Needless to say, these inequities offend Gerald and often cause him to boast about something he and Rose have, often resulting in problems for them when they have to maintain a pretence. bbc.co.uk /comedy/guide/articles/b/beggarmyneighbou_1299000249.shtml   (438 words)

PKT message, Re: [gang8] Monetarist Protectionism = beggar-thy-neighbour co During my tenure there, the $A varied from about 3.20 to about 1.80 guilders, if I remember rightly, and our sales were pretty much a direct function of movements in those rates. I might add that this fits into my belief that, once industry is lost - exported or whatever, for cost/competitive reasons - it is very hard to retrieve and, indeed, will not be retrieved until that industry can operate in circumstances of lower fixed-capital investment costs and particularly, STABLE AND RELIABLE investment costs. I remember the first significant oilfield in my own State of Queensland when I went there and expected to see the local area booming. archives.econ.utah.edu /archives/pkt/2003m07/msg00113.htm   (1040 words)

Yet Another Downward Forecast Revision: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webjournal You seem to have hit on a solution over there in the US - a 'beggar my neighbour' devaluation. The neighbours being beggared (buggered?) are those like mine - Australia - who have made a killing from their undervalued currency (we've taken a lot of export markets from both the US and the EU).

Whitfield, June After guesting in various sitcoms for 12 years, she landed a starring role in Beggar My Neighbour (1966-68) a show about ill-matched neighbours. A Bedful of Foreigners; Not Now, Darling; An Ideal Husband, 1987; Ring Round the Moon, 1988; Over My Dead Body, 1989; Babes in the Wood, 1990, 1991, 1992; Cinderella, 1994. Terry and June was Whitfield's most famous vehicle, and her portrayal of a typical long-suffering wife (June Fletcher) with a perennially adolescent husband (Terry Fletcher, played by Terry Scott) while not stretching her talent as an actor, nevertheless demonstrated her amazing consistency and willingness to bring the best out of any material. www.museum.tv /archives/etv/W/htmlW/whitfieldju/whitfieldju.htm   (639 words)

Card Games: Commercial Games Munchers work like the pictures in Egyptian Ratscrew or Beggar my Neighbour - the next player has to play the indicated number of cards, and if this happens without event the muncher gets the pile. As soon as anyone has a pair of cards from the same set they slap the table (or you could grab a spoon of which there are one too few or put your finger to your nose as in the traditional games). If two identical food cards appear in succession or separated by just one other card (a sandwich) or whenever a thief appears, the pile can be claimed by the first player to slap it. www.pagat.com /com   (11676 words)

Dr. Mahathir's famous speech Poor neighbours are a source of problems for everyone, for themselves and for you. There is no profit in trying to contain them, to undermine them, to prevent them from talking to each other or to their richer neighbours. In case you are wondering about what is meant by prosper-thy-neighbour, I would like to explain again that it simply means if you help your neighbour to prosper you will prosper along with it. dkd.net /davekidd/politics/mahathir.html   (4563 words)

British Sitcom Guide - Beggar My Neighbour The Garveys try and give their neighbours the appearance that they are doing quite well when in fact they are doing quite the opposite. The "Keeping-Up-With-The-Joneses" idea behind the show (much like that in "Keeping up Appearances"), with the added twist of the neighbours being related, worked well. Gerald is an underpaid junior executive while Harry is a high-earning factory worker, thus while the Garveys struggle to make ends meet the Butts enjoy the good life. www.british-sitcom.co.uk /sitcoms/beggar_neighbour.shtml   (108 words)

RePEc Abstract: Uncoordinated macroeconomic policies lead to 'beggar thy neighbour' strategies which are clearly suboptimal for the European Community as a whole.

Rules of Card Games: Neighbor games First I should mention that there is a children's game called Beggar My Neighbour. Outside the USA, the spelling will of course usually be 'Neighbour' rather than 'Neighbor'. The '****' word for what you do to your neighbor can be more or less unpleasant or obscene, depending on where the game is played and what kind of name people find appropriate or amusing. www.pagat.com /misc/neighbor.html   (241 words)
