Tactfulness, discretion and the responsibility of keeping men safe from unjust accusations are more important.

Threading that needle requires the kind of deft touch — tactfulness, if you will — that Pichai has made his signature.

Daisha has issues when it comes to punctuality. She has a love of karaoke singing and nail varnish. But the character is played as a straightforward professional who tells the truth despite lacking tactfulness. She also has good moral code of right and wrong.

Pianist A.V.Taskin, who accompanied Vyaltseva for the last eight years of her career, remembered how nerve- wrecking for her was every performance, but still spoke of her as of a very pleasant person to work with. The singer's tactfulness and restraint were a matter of legends.

194Cassius Dio, Roman History LXVII.15 Suetonius by contrast does not mention Nerva, but he may have omitted his role out of tactfulness. Considering the works of Suetonius were published under Nerva's direct descendants Trajan and Hadrian, it would have been less than sensitive of him to suggest the dynasty owed its accession to murder. On the other hand, Nerva lacked widespread support in the Empire, and as a known Flavian loyalist his track record would not have recommended him to the conspirators.

In ethics, Stegmaier distinguishes between moral orientation, as a self-binding commitment due to certain norms and values, and ethical orientation, as the reflection of such self-bindings and the forgoing of reciprocity and universality.Ibid., pp. 238-240. In this way, he obtains the rightful place for virtues, which are greatly appreciated by everyone, but which moral philosophers have so far less taken into account, such as open- mindedness and unbiasedness, benevolence and friendliness, tactfulness, nobility, and goodness.Ibid., pp. 240-245.

Formidable situations and "scary locations" are often juxtaposed by the children's teamwork and cheerful resourcefulness, which often serve to "reinforce the confidence of a junior reader in the moral values proposed." Like many of D'Costa's works, the novel positively reinforces practicality, hard work and independence, as well as mental strength and tactfulness as important attributes for success, and in many ways reinforces much of the cultural mores of the Jamaican and Caribbean culture.Balderston, Daniel and Mike Gonzalez. Encyclopedia of Latin American and Caribbean literature, 1900-2003 (2004).

Drabya Shah, the youngest son of Yashobrahma Shah, king of Lamjung, became the king after capturing Liglig fort with much tactfulness on Vijaya Dashami 1616 B.S. (1559 A.D.) having marched from Lamjung. At that time Uppallokot (fort in the upper part) area and Tallokot (fort in the lower part) area of Gorkha were ruled by Khadka and Ghale tribal chiefs respectively. The Ghale Ghales were the rulers of Liglig fort area also. Thus the areas with two tribal chiefs after the conquest by Drabya Shah was called Gorkha.

However, his simplicity and lack of tactfulness often sees him engage in domestic altercations with Shanti. The regular fights start taking their toll on Santosh's work life, also where he is often looked down by his boss Prem (Aashish Chaudhary) who is always bragging about how smooth his own married life is and how understanding his wife Khushi (Amrita Arora) is.

He made a most effective speech on the reform bill brought in by James Service in 1880, but during the following stormy years there was little opportunity for a man of Wrixon's moderate views to become prominent. In February 1886, however, when the Gillies ministry was formed, he was given the portfolio of Attorney-General and showed great ability in piloting bills through the house. Wrixon showed sincerity, tactfulness, good judgment and persuasiveness in dealing with opposition, and was always ready to accept amendments which would improve bills.

It was only belatedly that Catherine the Great of Russia put in place punitive measures against Persia, only to be cut short by her death and the enthronement of Paul against the Empress' wishes. Lacking his mother's experience and tactfulness, in December 1800 Paul signed the proclamation on the annexation of Georgia to the Russian Empire, which was finalized by a decree on January 8, 1801,Gvosdev, Nikolas K.: Imperial policies and perspectives towards Georgia: 1760–1819, Macmillan, Basingstoke 2000, , p. 85Avalov (1906), p. 186 and confirmed by Tsar Alexander I on September 12, 1801.Gvosdev (2000), p.

Attempts to enforce the law resulted in the Basuto Gun War of 1880 to 1881. Unrest continued until it was agreed in 1884 to place the territory under direct British control. Under Imperial Administration through Clarke, Basutoland once again demonstrated the loyalty seen under previous Imperial rule and returned to prosperity, supplying neighbouring territories with grain and livestock, as well as labour for the Kimberley Diamond Fields. James Bryce (later Viscount Bryce) noted in his Impressions, after his tour of Southern Africa in 1897, that Clarke combined tactfulness with firmness in order to inspire goodwill towards the British government.

Under his cousin's Administration, he was appointed Junior Secretary to the Treasury in June 1711. Harley was an entertaining wit, and a member of Swift's circle, and was invited to join the 'Society of Brothers', a dining/drinking-club founded by Henry St John. However he was turned out in January 1712 for non-attendance. However his tactfulness and subtle dialogue marked him out as a natural diplomat, and he was chosen envoy to Hanover in 1712 to soothe the Elector over Great Britain's willingness to negotiate a peace with France, ending the War of the Spanish Succession.

When the Marquis of Santa Cruz died, on 9 February 1588, Philip insisted on appointing the 7th Duke to the command of the Armada. He had prepared his orders to the Duke of Medina Sidonia already three days before the death of Santa Cruz. The motivation of Philip's decision is unknown, but it may have been grounded in his consideration of the duke's very high social rank, administrative competence, modesty and tactfulness, and last but not least his reputation as a good Roman Catholic Christian. The micro- managing king probably wanted a commander who would obey his instructions to the letter, which was less likely to happen if Santa Cruz was in command, or either of the most experienced officers in the Armada, Juan Martinez de Recalde and Miguel de Oquendo.

Pakubuwana II hesitantly accepted the cession in lieu of 20,000 real per year. Mangkubumi was dissatisfied with his brother's decision to yield to van Imhoff's insistence, which was made without consulting the other members of royal family and great nobles. van Imhoff had neither experience nor tactfulness to understand the delicate situation in Mataram and he rebuked Mangkubumi as “too ambitious” before the whole court when Mangkubumi claimed the 3000 households. This shameful treatment from a foreigner who had wrested the most prosperous lands of Mataram from his weak brother led him to raise his followers into rebellion in May 1746, this time with the help of Mas Said. In the midst of Mangkubumi rebellion in 1749, Pakubuwana II fell ill and called van Hohendorff, his trusted friend who saved his life during the fall of Kartasura in 1742.

The critic for The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the play was: > Notable as a rare instance of an Australian playwright's attempting to > represent the tension between good manners and bad intentions. Porter has > taken advantage of the colonial time lag in 19th century Tasmania to allow > his characters to clothe their generally poisonous motives in an 18th > century decorum, and to make use of an unusually hemstitched and hand-sewn > type of language. The easy and tempting criticism to make of this play is > that it is stagey and derivative (with a "Rebecca"-like storm and an > Ibsenesque tower of a most clumsily symbolic kind) and that it is as > fniitily stocked with curtain lines as anything George Miller might present > at the Neutral Bay Music Hall... Much depended in this televised version on > its tactfulness in making the most of the play's richly theatrical srrokes > without emphasising their potential absurdities. In this Porter was well > served.

American Art News (January 7, 1922) Painter John McLure Hamilton, who began his art education at the Academy under Thomas Eakins, in 1921 described the contributions Coates made during his tenure: > The reign of Mr. Coates at the Academy marked the period of its greatest > prosperity.
