Before actually hovering around the moot question, it is important to understand what is the meaning of government employee in the eyes of law. The definition of government employee under various statutes and laws is very different from our day-to-day interpretation.

They connect two words or two groups of words that are used in the same way—that is, they are the same part of speech or they are grammatically alike....

When knitting with circular needles, the key thing to remember is that you are always working from the right side, or what will be the outside of the work when it is worn or used. What would be the wrong side rows if you were working flat are just every other right side round when knitting circularly. Backward and Opposite Since the knit stitch and the purl stitch are opposites, to get these “wrong side” rounds to look right on the right side, you have to work stitches the opposite of what you would in flat knitting....

The two long-term goals of the Favorite Poem Project were to promote the reading and appreciation of poetry and encourage the teaching of poetry in schools nationwide. The Project recorded nearly 1,000 Americans saying poems that they love.

It wasn’t really about who was playing Hamlet so much as … the play as a whole. If the point is just to go see another actor doing it, who cares?...
