Put Out More Flags (Penguin Modern Classics)

Product Information

Up to and including a single date flag: the data series contains consecutive “ 1”s that end once a single date is reached. All other cells contain zero. Used to identify periods running up to and including a single event e.g. pre-construction period end flag . With the outbreak of WWII, the opportunistic Basil states his objective early on: "I want to be one of those people one heard about in 1919: the hard-faced men who did well out of the war."

It would be a terrible eight weeks for them, isolated by a massive snowfall, at the end of which they rush to freedom – so does the paying guest they had had and the two maids, as did everyone else in the path of these commando children – and he wants to talk with the sister of the enemy, but it is Basil who says to him ‘you do not want these poor little ones to be killed in an air raid’, only to get what sounds like a mirthful, if dark answer – ‘there is nothing I would love more’- followed by an arrangement proposed by the Machiavelli of the countryside, who suggest that poor families would look at a sum of money and accept the atrocious guests, if the overwhelmed, destroyed host would like that…there are 30 pounds in this transaction and this devilish character continues with his enterprise, during which he has an affair with a woman who had just been married (!), before her husband would join some military unit…Angela's husband visits her with their child before embarking with the ill-equipped and ill-organised British forces for Norway, where he dies in combat. For a projected literary magazine, Ambrose Silk writes about his lost love, a Brownshirt named Hans who is now in a Nazi concentration camp. Basil persuades him to leave out Hans' fate, so that the article appears to praise the SA. He then shows it to his boss as evidence of a cell of allegedly dangerous fascists. The publisher is jailed, but Ambrose escapes to neutral Ireland, disguised as a Jesuit priest. Basil takes over his luxurious flat and adds to it Susie, his boss's luscious secretary. What’s more, when it comes to modelling flags, you will find that there are only five core structures that you need to know. Once you master all five, you can model flags. Every forecast model we build in F1F9 has a Time sheet: a worksheet dedicated to important dates e.g. when the model starts, when the model ends, when the project starts , when the project ends, when the project moves from one phase to another. The Time sheet is a foundation sheet: bringing together core information that answer s the question “when do things happen?”. Upper-class rogues, bohemians, dowagers, socialites, bureaucrats and delinquent evacuees prepare for England to change forever, in this hilarious and deadly serious 1942 satire on the 'phoney war'

Basil is frivolous, mischievous and incorrigible. His antics are also indulged and even grudgingly admired by his closest friends and connections. And true to his principles, whilst the other characters are all trying to scuttle into cosy government sinecures or soft commissions as officers, Alastair volunteers to join the ranks. He endures the miseries of basic training without complaint (although he makes sure his wife Sonia has booked a comfortable nearby hotel for weekends). And in the end he is volunteering for Special Services – though it does seem to be the Boy’s Own Adventure prospects which appeal to him. But he is a character who develops, and he obviously represents what Waugh sees as the remaining strand of decency in upper-class values.Barbara: “You’ll see…Basil will be covered with medals while your silly old yeomanry are still messing in a Trust House and waiting for your tanks.” Financial models that rely on a timeline but with no dedicated Time sheet will be difficult to review.
