Ways And Means
A ways and means committee is a government body that is charged with reviewing and making recommendations for government budgets. Because the raising of revenue is vital to carrying out governmental operations, such a committee is tasked with finding the ways and means with which to raise that revenue. The term "ways and means" originated with the Parliament of England and refers to the provision of revenue to meet national expenditure requirements and to implement the objectives of economic policy. The ways and means are provided by the imposition of taxation. Canada The Canadian federal government, which follows the British Parliamentary System, also adopted the term "Ways and Means" within its tax system. For example, the Minister of Finance introduces changes to its fiscal plan via a Ways and Means Motion to Amend the Income Tax Act 1985. The Minister tables the motion in Parliament and then presents the budget highlights in a formal budget speech. Only after a federal budg ...

Ways And Means (Coward Play)
''Ways and Means'' is a short comic play by Noël Coward, one of ten that make up ''Tonight at 8.30'', a cycle written to be performed across three evenings. The story concerns an heiress and her gambling husband, who are plagued by debt and embarrassment as everything seems to always go wrong for them. Their honour is saved just in time when a disgraced chauffeur tries to rob them but amiably ends up pulling them out of a hole. In the introduction to a published edition of the plays, Coward wrote, "A short play, having a great advantage over a long one in that it can sustain a mood without technical creaking or over padding, deserves a better fate, and if, by careful writing, acting and producing I can do a little towards reinstating it in its rightful pride, I shall have achieved one of my more sentimental ambitions." The play was first produced in London (1936), and then in New York (1936–1937). It has enjoyed several major revivals and has been adapted for film. History ...

Ways And Means (Xenophon)
''Ways and Means'' (Greek: Πόροι ἢ περὶ Προσόδων, ''Poroi ē peri Prosodōn'', "The Public Revenues or Concerning Income", also translated '' A Pamphlet on Revenues'') was written in 355 BC and is believed to be the last work written by Xenophon. This was shortly after Athens' defeat in the Social War and the collapse of the Second Athenian League, and the city was facing financial ruin. ''Ways and Means'' is made up of 6 chapters, addressed to the Council of Five Hundred in response to political statements that expressed that Athens' unfair behavior against other cities is due to its poverty.

Xenophon proposes through ''Ways and Means'' that Athens would be able to support itself without relying on the profits of war and empire.

"Haddocks' Eyes" is an example used to elaborate on the symbolic status of the concept of "name": a name as identification marker may be assigned to anything, including another name, thus introducing different levels of symbolization. It has been discussed in several works on logic and philosophy. Haddock's Eyes The White Knight explains to Alice a confusing nomenclature for the song. To summarize: *The song's name is called ''Haddocks' Eyes'' *The song's name is ''The Aged Aged Man'' *The song is called ''Ways and Means'' *The song is ''A-sitting on a Gate'' The complicated terminology distinguishing between 'the song, what the song is called, the name of the song, and what the name of the song is called' both uses and mentions the use–mention distinction.
