Minimum Wages and Pricing for Restaurants in the United States

Staff wages are a significant expense to any restaurant operator. Any legislation to increase the cost of those wages, including federal, state, or municipal minimum wages threatens to significantly increase that expense.

Colores in Cicero\u27s Philippics I and II, and in Pliny\u27s Panegyricus

Color, as a figure of speech, is a small part of the art of rhetoric. The various definitions and uses of color in a selection of ancient writers form the subject of this thesis. The purpose is to present examples of col\u27o\u27r\u27es found in· Philippics I and II of Cicero, and in the·Panegyricus of Pliny the Younger. These examples will be correlated to the demands of the situation of each speaker. Cicero\u27s speeches represent free oratory during the period of the late Republic; Pliny\u27s speech represents epideictic oratory during the Empire. The first chapter of this thesis will serve as an introduction to the history and development of color in Roman rhetoric, with definitions and major examples of its meanings and uses, first as a non-technical term and then as a technical term. Major ancient writers quoted in Chapter I are Cicero, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Quintilian, Sallust, Seneca Rhetor and Juvenal. There are additional definitions and commentaries from modern writers
