	The Claremont Institute - Cicero's Defense of Property Rights
		Further, Cicero's apparent concern that the immoderate pursuit of wealth is the root of Rome's political trouble would not fit well with a defense of individual property rights as the basic principle of the polity.
		Cicero presents economic life in 2.12 as a social phenomenon, an example of the principle that human beings are born to help each other.
		Cicero follows his explicit defense of property rights in 2.78 with an almost Machiavellian explanation of why this principle is one the politician violates at his peril, as we have seen.

	The Unified Code for Units of Measure
		The second is a metric unit because it is a part of the SI basis, although it used to be part of a series of customary units (originating in the Babylonian era).
		The semantics of The Unified Code for Units of Measure is defined by the algebraic operations of multiplication, division and exponentiation between units, by the equivalence relations of equality and commensurability of units, and by the multiplication of a unit with a scalar.
		Units were taken from nature: anatomical structures (e.g., arm, foot, finger), botanical objects (e.g., grains of various sorts, rod), or processes of everyday life (e.g., amount of land one could plow in a morning, the length of 1000 steps, an hour of walking, etc.).

	UNIT VIII - Cicero: Letters and Essays
		The usual model for the student of letter writing in early America was the Roman politician, orator, lawyer and prolific letter writer, Cicero, whose "epistles" were studied as early as the fifth year of instruction in the grammar school.
		Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), popularly referred to as "Tully" in early America, was a man of diverse talents and energies.
		Some idea of the close attention paid to Cicero's letters in the eighteenth-century can be gained from J. Markland's Remarks on the Epistles of Cicero to Brutus and of Brutus to Cicero, London, 1745, in which the language, sentence arrangement, and rhythm of Cicero's epistles are subjected to close scrutiny for nearly four hundred pages.

		The above-mentioned donor's fatigue and the financial crisis of the United Nations throughout the past decade, together with the increasing inadequacy of mandates (case of the UNHCR) owing to the internationalisation of conflicts, do not simplify the picture either.

		However, in the case of ECHO's funding (and of EC funding in general) visibility is a particularly crucial issue, and ECHO stickers sometimes figure prominently in the humanitarian projects.
