Good Afternoon Research Articles

President's Address and Introductory Speech

Good afternoon, members and guests. It is always a pleasure for me to be in San Francisco. The honor of being elected President of this prestigious Society is very much appreciated. Thank you for your support and trust. The officers and Board of Governors who will serve with me are experienced and dedicated. We have a great team.

Creating Competitive Advantage: Welding Imagination to Experience

Good afternoon, and thank you both for the introduction and for the invitation to be with you here today. The ideas that I want to talk about emerged as a result of a traumatic experience our organization went through in the early 1980s. Our company was acquired in a wildly overleveraged buyout on the eve of the worst business downturn since the Great Depression. Almost overnight we went from being a moderately well-run, growth organization to an insolvent wreck.1 We were thrown from Order into Chaos, and in the months that followed we were forced to reexamine every aspect of our business operations. The crisis was so great that we were compelled to articulate and reconsider everything we believed about the nature of people and the role of business organizations. In short, we were compelled to make explicit our own personal and organizational philosophies. It is a process that continues in our organization today. I have since come to believe that this reaction is the natural response of both individuals and organizations when faced by crisis. It is essentially what happened in the wellknown Tylenol-tampering incident, when the managers at Johnson and Johnson, faced with a problem falling well outside their standard operating procedures, were forced to fall back on their credo their statement of their most fundamental values in their search for a guide as to what action they should take.

On Building a Private Practice

When was finishing my residency, took a practice elective, which entailed visiting several private practitioners' offices. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, because my instructors were not only enthusiastic about teaching patient care, they also divulged information about how to start up a practice. One had a different approach, and my experience in his office has left me at the crossroads. Before going into an examination room to see a patient one day, Dr X lifted the chart off the door slot and leafed through it. As he did so, his usual mirth diminished quickly and a scowl crossed his face. He shook his head in disappointment. Here for a sore throat again, he muttered. We entered the room, where a young woman in her early 20s sat on the examination table. Good afternoon, Doctor, she warmly greeted him. I thought asked you to forward the results

GEOPHYSICS: WHERE WILL IT ALL END UP?

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a pleasure to meet with you again — even if it does happen to be Friday the 13th. It’s not certain what started the idea that Friday the 13th is a day on which bad luck is apt to fall. But some ancient beliefs designated Friday as unlucky, and for centuries, the number 13 has been considered unlucky.

Select committee

Good afternoon, gentlemen. After lunch, I suppose there's no need to formally introduce you all, but for the benefit of Miss Manypence from the Registry (she shall be taking the minutes, you see) — if you wouldn't mind. First, Professors Wilkes (Dialect Studies), Davis (Celtic Studies) and Rhys (Educational Psychology). The external assessors, Laurie Taylor from the BBC, and the President for‐the‐time‐being of the Library Association (Sir Harry, m'dear). The Rector, elected by the Student Body, Donald Pleasence. And from the University Court, Lord Sobers; the Ordinances of course preclude our having a Bishop, for which relief much thanks, but we are pleased to have a Moderator on this occasion. Ah yes, and Provost Marshall.

Infusion

Good afternoon, and welcome to the College. As you have spent your first term out in the real world of industry and commerce I'm afraid you've missed the cream buns with the mayor in November, and the glass of wine with the Principal in October. As a matter of fact they're both in London today — a rate‐capping demo I understand. So we're going to start with the information skills module. That means me introducing the Librarian usually (but he's just taken early retirement) and the Library (and some of that looks life‐expired, I must say).

Library promo

GOOD AFTERNOON. This is our second progress meeting since Council agreed to fund a video promo, I think you call it, for our library services. Perhaps you'd like to go right ahead and show us what you've shot?

Periodical panel game

‘GOOD afternoon gentlemen. This is the only meeting of the periodicals selection panel scheduled for this session, so we have more than the usual number of suggestions to plough through this afternoon. First, I would like welcome two new members, Dr Tyler for Media Studies and Mr Bough from Hospitality Administration. As a matter of fact Dr Tyler sends his apologies, he has a studio booking which naturally takes precedence, in this era of scarce resources. I'm sure his contributions to our deliberations will be invaluable if they should be forth‐coming next year.

Site Description and Selection Process

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. In leading off this afternoon's session, I would like to establish a framework against which the papers that follow can be referenced. My discussion of the proposed tuff site at Yucca Mountain shall focus on:

Open University Graduates At Last

Good afternoon, all! I am speaking to you today from Birmingham's gorgeous Town Hall, which is the scene of the Midlands graduation ceremony 1974 – the first of its kind.

The lost chord

Not long ago, it is said, the passengers of an airliner heard this message over the intercom: ‘Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is your pilot speaking. We are flying at an altitude of 35,000 feet and at a speed of 610 miles per hour. I have two pieces of news to report, one good and one bad. The good news is that we are making excellent time. The bad news is that we are lost.’

Session II: Empowerment of Women in Business

Good afternoon, Your Excellency, Mr. President, Members of the Board of LAU and Members of the LAU Chapter in Dubai. I really thank you for inviting me to be here to talk to you today about a subject that is very close to my heart — and that is business. I actually started my own business at a very young age — at the age of four. Yes, my mother discovered one day that I had a lot of coins and she askedme where I had gotten them from. I asked her, “If I tell you the truth will you spank me?” and she said, “No, please let me know.” So I told her that I was very clumsy in art class and I used to take the labels from the bottles of juice andsell them in the school and that’s how I made my money. She encouraged me and she really backed me up and that’s how I started in business.

Better communications between management and engineering

Thank you, John, and good afternoon gentlemen. It is a real pleasure to appear before your group today and to have the opportunity of chatting with you about the great electronics industry, and more specifically about some of the areas offering challenges to management and its vital engineering arm.

The Perplexing Case of Geometry

GOOD AFTERNOON, FELLOW SIAMESE AND STAUNCH ALLIES. What I have chosen as the subject of my present discourse is not some bright, dazzling discovery but a puzzling matter which fills me with increasing concern and wonder. So I come before you with a think piece in the hope of sharing with you my grappling with a problem whose importance I leave up to you to confirm or dispute. Let me add that my career has pretty thoroughly pried me loose from any mathematico-centric view of the universe. I hope, therefore, to be in a position of presenting from a constructive viewpoint above the lines of faction which appear once more to be drawn across the face of mathematics, one of the particularly pivotal issues in this whole business-namely what has been, is, and should be the role of geometry in mathematics. The two major intellectual revolutions in mathematics which have affected Western thought far beyond the confines of our own chosen field clearly stem from geometry: the laying down of Euclid's elements and the conception, some two millenia later, of non-euclidean geometries. I shall use the second of these as my starting point for an appreciation of what geometry has meant to mathematics, for its out-runlers, I maintain, are even today significantly and indelibly shaping the current scene of mathematical research. This significance has been stated often and in various ways: It established once and for all that mathematics was not in any superficially direct and God-given way tied in its structure to this one particular world in which we happen to live-that, instead, logically consistent, intellectually meaningful and attractive systems could be found which, in content, were not only unrelated, but-as far as geometry was concerned, at variance with the then canonical system of natural philosophy. Once geometry had been made intrinsic to mathematics, rather than figuring as one of its most striking contributions to the scientific analysis of the world around us, the road was open for the confident development of the field along the lines of an internal, self-determined, essentially artistic freedom in the choice of its objects and in the examination of their interrelations. We shall later have to comment on the well-known fact that, in the course of time, the constructions which arose in this way constituted again one of the most significant contributions of mathematics to science. Suffice it to say here that, in the overwhelming majority of instances, this was not their motivation. What is of interest for the moment is that the enrichment of mathematics which immediately ensued from this newly gained freedom during the remainder of the 19th century affected with particular vitality the emergilng branches of
