Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to
the  Holy  Ghost.  As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is
now  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without  end.  Amen.
SECOND  RULE  OF  THE  FRIARS  MINOR.1

1.  — In  the  Name  of  the  Lord  begins  the  life  of

the  Minor  Brothers.
The  Rule  and  life  of  the  Minor  Brothers  is  this,
namely,  to  observe  the  holy  Gospel  of  our  Lord
Jesus  Christ,  by  living  in  obedience,  without
property  and  in  chastity.  Brother  Francis
promises  obedience  and  reverence  to  the  Lord
Pope  Honorius  and  to  his  successors  canonically
elected  and  to  the  Roman  Church.  And  let  the
other  brothers  be  bound  to  obey  Brother  Francis
and  his  successors.
2.  —  Of  those  who  wish  to  embrace  this  Life  and

how  they  ought  to  be  received.
If  any  wish  to  embrace  this  life  and  come  to
our  brothers,  let  them  send  them  to  their  pro-

Any general experience of handling business contacts is often lacking in technology-
oriented start-ups. This should be addressed early enough in the new company by using
external consultants to fill knowledge gaps in this area. All in all, it can be suggested that
firms should develop relevant skills in order to be properly prepared to enter into a tech-
nology partnership. Duyesters et al (1999) call for alliance capability, which refers in the
literature to a set of skills that can help reap maximum value from the partnering experi-
ence. The ability to manage partnerships can turn into a competitive advantage for the firm
(Khanna, 1998). Succeeding in one relationship can truly open the doors to success in sub-
sequent relationships.
Based on the case study findings, it can be concluded that the failure in the partnership
formation can often be avoided by careful preparation. Strategy planning, however, must
begin when the start-up is founded. Finding the right strategic direction for the partnership
after formation is often too late. From the start-up side, it is also important to pay attention
to the correct timing as to when the technology should be offered to a practical partner.

### Analysis ###
The user is inquiring about the unusual formatting and text within a document. The references provided include a historical religious text, a business partnership strategy document, and conditions of use for digital files from Google Books France. Upon analyzing these references, it appears that the first reference (the Second Rule of the Franciscan Order) has a distinct and structured formatting style, which could explain the "weird formatting." The other references are more contemporary and discuss various topics related to business partnerships and digital file usage, which may not directly contribute to the perceived formatting issues. Therefore, the primary focus will be on the first reference to understand the formatting conventions used.

### Answer ###
The document you referenced appears to follow a specific set of formatting conventions that are typical for historical religious texts. For example, the beginning of the document includes repetitive phrases and invocations, which are standard in such texts. This practice can be seen in the opening lines:

"Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."

This pattern continues throughout the document, indicating a consistent style of religious invocation and structure<ref name="www.franciscanorder.org/rules/1223-second-rule">"In the Name of the Lord begins the life of the Minor Brothers. The Rule and life of the Minor Brothers is this, namely, to observe the holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, by living in obedience, without property and in chastity."</ref>.

Furthermore, the document's structure adheres to formal language and a hierarchical organization, reflecting the institutional rules and regulations of the Franciscan Order. For instance, each section begins with clear directives and definitions, such as:

"If any wish to embrace this life and come to our brothers, let them send them to their provincial minister, so that he may send them the brother whom he judges most suitable to direct them, according to the Constitutions and the size of the fraternity. And the brothers should receive them as they would Christ himself"</ref>.

The use of Latin phrases and the repetition of key themes also contribute to the distinctive formatting. This style is intended to reinforce the religious message and create a sense of unity and adherence to the order's principles<ref name="www.franciscanorder.org/rules/1223-second-rule">"Brother Francis promises obedience and reverence to the Lord Pope Honorius and to his successors canonically elected and to the Roman Church."</ref>.

Therefore, the "weird formatting" you observed in the document is part of its historical and religious context, following traditional conventions for presenting religious rules and guidelines.
