Italy in the International Economy since the Second World War forms part of the series of publications under the editorship of Michele Barbato, Managing Editor of UniCredit’s and its Italian-language sister publication . This volume analyses the problems and prospects of Italy in the world economy over the period running from the Second World War to the present. The essays (all drawn from , founded in 1947 by Costantino Bresciani Turroni, and its sister-publication , founded in 1979) offer a helpful, highly effective historical perspective on the main changes in Italy’s commercial, financial and monetary affairs with the progress of internationalization, liberalization and the integration of firms and markets both at European and at global level.

Extract from Tribute to Charles Eames
. . . Unique Document
of the visit came the Eames report, a document familiar to most
students of design in this country, unique in its insight, its demands
for quality and the depth and width of its thinking. Commencing the
report with the famous phrases of the Gita:
‘On man’s right to work but never to the fruits thereof’, the report
sees the ‘change in India, a change in kind and not a change of
degree’. Seeing the complexities of the revolution in communications
that had struck India with terrific impact, ‘made more violent because
of the nature of India’s own complex situation, isolation and
tradition’, the report focuses on India’s tradition and a philosophy
that is familiar with the meaning of creative destruction and stresses
the need to appraise and solve the problems of our times with
tremendous service, dignity, and love’. ‘The search for form demands an
investigation into values and qualities that Indians hold important to
a good life’, and that ‘there be close scrutiny of those elements that
make up a standard of living’. The report goes on to urge ‘a restudy of
environment and skill and to think anew on detailed problems of
services and objects. To restate solutions in theory and actual
prototype’, and ‘to explore the existing symbols of India’.
preliminary report was that of a creative genius and philosopher who
had delved deep to discover and pinpoint the crises in the field of
form, function, and a way of life. The detailed notes that followed it
spelled out the technological hardware necessary to build the workshops
that formed the integral structure of the institute and provided
facilities for training research and service in the field of design, in
its widest sense. The National Institute of Design was born. . . .
the years, Charles and Ray continued to visit India to meet old friends
and to visit the National Institute of Design. I was in the USA and
Canada, in July and August of 1978, and had spoken to Ray on the phone.
Charles was away, but we had planned to meet before I returned to
India. I lost contact with them as I had gone for a holiday into the
interior of Canada, but on my return to Toronto towards the end of
August, found messages awaiting me from Ray. It was on the phone that I
heard of Charles’ death.
Eames was a giant amongst the new educators of the environment.
Exponent of a new culture born of the vast technological and
communication explosions that were transforming the environment and
man’s life, in him we saw the culture’s mature flowering. His
compassion and depth of seeing enabled him to draw from the riches of
the past to provide the human dimension to his projects; with this
there was infinite concern with the practical and with detail, a
precision that made enormous demands on those who worked with him.


He was poor. He was a self-made man. He was shrewd and ruthless. He considered himself the modern-day Chanakya. He was Sethji.
She was ‘a woman’. She was married into a political family. She had no choice. Her body was her deadliest weapon. Her name was Amrita.
Shobhaa De, the author of “Sethji” weaves a tale around a political setup. As a reader, you can almost guess who she is pointing/referring at, if you are aware of our biggest reality show called ‘The Indian Politics’.
The author is well aware of the fact that in India (and outside too), Sex and Erotica sells, and she has made sure to add this masala in almost every chapter of the book. 55-56 chapters, so you can imagine how much!!
At some places, the masala seemed so invalid like how Bollywood adds songs in between two serious scenes of a movie. Something like:
Scene1: Heroine’s father/mother is serious and is struggling for life in an ICU.
Dream Song: The heroine is running wildly around the trees, not praying for her father’s/mother’s health but mockingly escaping from being groped by the hero.
Scene2: The hero is on his way to the hospital and meets with an accident as he was busy dreaming the song sequence while driving!
Point is: At some of the places in the plot, the masala write-up just wasn’t needed. Amrita has not just been exploited, but over-expoited, time and again!
The novel as such is a political drama, the storyline of which I will not divulge for the sake of those who would like to read ’Sethji’. All I can say is that, there is – pain, confusion, betrayal, assassination, infidelity, incest and too much of life ka drama.
The book is a good read, if you like – Indian Politics, Metaphorical Characterization (you will keep guessing as to which political/bollywood bigwig the author is talking about, throughout the length & breadth of the book!), the Masala (to an extent, who doesn’t?!) and Shobhaa De’s free flow (straight-talk) writing style.
IMHO – Shobhaa De’s much better & crisp when it comes to her shorter write ups (newspaper columns, blog posts, etc) than in her novels. A little more efforts in editing would have improved the end product (Found a few spelling typos myself!).
Note: If I’ve known Shobhaa De well, by reading her writings till now – I’d definitely NOT believe that the story of this novel to be entirely fictional, as she and Penguin (the publisher) puts it to be. 😉

Similarly to aspect-oriented programming, PDI distinguishes between core concerns and cross-cutting concerns.
Core concerns are the aspects of the code that fulfill its main goal. We consider as core concerns of a simulation code the aspects handled in the main loop that generate elements needed as input of the next iteration of the loop.
Cross-cutting concerns are the aspect of the code that are not core concerns. We consider as cross-cutting concerns of a simulation code:
The simulation could run with none of the cross-cutting concerns implemented (even if this would be completely useless with no result ever saved). The deactivation of a core concern on the other hand would lead to a failure of the simulation.
PDI supports calling libraries from the specification tree instead of from the code. This is well suited for cross-cutting concerns but means that the code has no control over what and how these aspects are handled which does not fit the needs of core concerns.

Have you ever been overwhelmed with essays or presentation of an item? Well, most students strive to deliver their original work, and such cases are usually limited due to inadequate information. Therefore, students conduct research and get information from other essays or books and present the findings in their own words. Students engage in paraphrasing by giving ideas and information they have collected from articles or books in their own words. Thus, students translate the content from such studies to demonstrate to the reader that they understand the essays and can relay the whole content. However, students need to be careful to change all the words to avoid plagiarism.
How do you paraphrase?
Writers from www.essaykitchen.net advise that students should highlight the information using different words while retaining the original meaning of the text. Furthermore, the writer should not forget to give a citation as it results in plagiarism when the student fails to provide both in-text citations and list of references.
Basic rules of paraphrasing
First, students should read the article or any source of information in details and comprehend the content before beginning to paraphrase. Consequently, it is essential to locate the very parts of the article that is of importance and shorten the information without rewriting the content. Furthermore, give a brief explanation concerning the source of information. Thirdly, writers should re-read the article and skim focusing on the first statement when relating to the topic.
Provide a brief verbal summary of the content to develop alternative words for the information in sentence form. After that, the student should jot down the paraphrase without referring to the original article and use a different format of wording, as well as the structure of the sentence.
Lastly, students should compare the prophases with the original information and ensure that no similarity exists. However, both sentences and items give the same information.
Students who engage in paraphrasing give quick summaries of the source article or book and go ahead to incorporate the information transparently in their presentations. Therefore, the students can explicitly express the ideas in their own words.
Tips on paraphrasing
Students should read the article or book or any text they want to paraphrase as many time as possible to understand the content of information. Consequently, the student should use their own words without confirming from the source.
Students should note the citation of the source of information. For instance, when paraphrasing information from the website, it is essential for the student to mention the source of information at the beginning of the paraphrase sentence. Besides, when the student uses a book, he should note the title and the author of the book in the first sentence and use a different citation style at the end of the sentence.
Writers need to change the sentence structure when paraphrasing essays. You should change the wordings and shorten the long sentences while providing elaborations on the phrases to give clarity.
Students should change the word order and sentence structure to avoid plagiarism as well as altering to passive voice to encourage the use of different words as well as the construction of new sentences.
Paraphrasing requires that students use synonyms. Therefore, students should replace words with similar ones to formulate new sentences as well as ensuring that the students use different structures in sentences.
Writers need to emphasize on personal opinions regarding the source of information when paraphrasing. Therefore, the student can demonstrate his comprehension of the argument and efficiently blend the content and its importance to the reader.
Students should give different definition structures. Thus, the students illustrate that they fathom what they have read and it gives the students the ability to come up with your own words and express yourself.
Good online sources for paraphrasing
Writers use numerous sources that help them in learning paraphrasing techniques. Here are some of the credible sources that students should apply for paraphrasing:
- Letterpile.com is a source that advises students on the difference when, why and how to paraphrase as well as quoting using actual words from the original text and citation.
- The Wisconsin-Madison University website is a writing center that gives advice and the different methods of paraphrasing.
- The OWLL (The Online Writing and Learning Link) by Massey University provides information on paraphrasing techniques and embeds the name of the author.
- The SFU library link gives information on techniques of paraphrasing.
- The Plagiarism organization website teaches on how to paraphrase as well as the meanings of quotation and paraphrasing.
- The Knox library guide is an exam answer search engine giving information on how to write in your own words, the types of plagiarisms with examples.
Example of good paraphrasing
Source: “You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me.” (Barack Obama)
Paraphrase: Education is the best way to achieve equality in the society where everyone has a definite chance of making their dreams.
Wrapping it up
In conclusion, paraphrasing is an opportunity for the students to give constructive information from the sources such as article, books, and journals without providing a direct quotation or venture into plagiarism activities. Besides, students can correctly link your ideas with ideas from the source document and provide your readers with a backup for your arguments.


Novel By Ken Harge
Based on true events
The triumphant story of a man’s journey from utter failure to ultimate success. Based on the true-life events of Ken Harge, an aspiring motivational speaker who has always believed that everyone is here for something great. Through this story we realize that the path to greatness may not always be a direct one. Perseverance, faith, and sometimes therapy is needed to get to the heights of one’s potential as our protagonist learns all too well.
In the words of Ken “Everyone is here for something great”. However, few people realize their awesome potential. This story shows that somewhere beyond the: difficulties, let downs, and less than ideal upbringing that greatness is within the grasp of everyone.
Ken Harge’s book “YAHFSG” is a compelling, interesting read. He has portrayed himself with raw honesty. As I read it, I was able to, at times, feel his security and pain, and also smile at his vulnerablility and mavel at his lessons learned. A good read worth your time!
A compelling read by an autodiadect with the power of candid introspection forged in the crucible of physical and psychic pain. Harge takes us along on his private, sometimes horrific journey, always with clarity, avoiding the maudlin, often with charm and wit. His inspiring message of hope and perseverance, and his humanity leap brilliantly from the pages.
I feel like reading should bring you to the place the writer depicts and this book absolutely does that. His pain as a boy and sufferings as a man were all felt through the words he’s written. So honest and heart wrenching at times.
Brave and inspiring! Ken Harge’s first novel is an inspiring story of one man’s struggle to find his way. Ken writes with a clear and strong voice as he courageously tackles sensitive topics and family dynamics.
Author, Music Producer, Speaker, Playwright, PODCASTER
Ken Harge is a Producer, Musician, and Songwriter who works with talented individuals and fast-growing companies to help them deliver their messages through recordings that tell powerful stories. He has never been one to shy away from sharing his diverse opinions and spent three years expressing those opinions on the “KLH TV Show” on Skye 13 CATV. He is also the creator of a one-man stage play and the author of “You Are Here For Something Great,” both of which are based on his philosophy that all people can access their awesome potential. You can find more of his thoughts and musings on his blog right on this site. His mission is to entertain and inspire others to realize their own greatness in all that he does. He credits all of his experiences as the launchpad for the work he is doing today.
You have a combination of talent, ability, or other qualities that can make the world around you better in some kind of way.

About The Historians
The Historians is the story of the employees of a not-so-normal historical society in New Jersey. Their lives are a lot more interesting than anyone would imagine they are.
The six main girls, who I (author Steph Diorio) originally created back in 2004 for an entirely unrelated project, did all have one thing in common – a love of history brought on by their enjoyment of a certain book and TV series. Although their days of fighting Mary Sues are over (yes, that’s legitimately what they were created to do), they still love history and agreed to let me reuse them for this story. Let’s pretend their past use never happened and they live perfectly normal lives now.
Anyway, these are their adventures as the employees of a historical society in northern New Jersey. Again, it’s more interesting than it sounds, we promise!

An exhibition is taking place at Neston Library, telling the stories of the people from Neston and surrounding villages during the Great War.
‘Neston and Villages Remember 1914-18’ is part of the Cheshire Great War Stories project.
It has been supported locally by Burton and Neston History Society, local Cheshire West and Chester Councillor Andy Williams, Neston Library, Neston Town Council and Cheshire Archives and Local Studies.
Volunteers from the history society have uncovered a wealth of information about local people and everyday life during this time as well as details of the local hospitals for wounded troops and the existence of a small scale munitions factory.
The exhibition, which is open until December, will commemorate those local men who were killed or injured during World War l.
The library would also like to see any mementoes or information of life during that time, particularly of relatives left behind at home.
Please call into the library or come along to the special roadshow on Saturday September 13th between 11am and 4pm with your family stories, photos or artefacts, so that they can be shared and recorded for posterity.
Councillor Williams gave a donation towards the cost of the exhibition from his Member Budget.
He said: “Once again the people of Neston, along with the library, have put together an interesting and poignant exhibition – this time commemorating our local heroes and the sacrifices made by the people of Neston during the First World War.
“I am proud to have been a part of supporting this excellent insight into Neston’s rich history.”

Your Mind Matters!
|Richard L. Strauss
4 1/2″ x 7″
The Bible tells us a great deal about our minds, including how to deal with unacceptable thoughts. Yet the instruction available to us in God’s Word is often ignored. This leaves believers unprepared to live for Christ in today’s secular world.
This booklet contains two chapters from the book “Win the Battle for Your Mind”. The focus is on setting our minds on things above, not on earthly matters. In so doing, we can gain victory over the internal and external attacks that war against our minds.
During his 60 years, Richard Strauss loved God, and he loved to study His Word. He spent hours each week pouring over the Bible, allowing the Holy Spirit to teach him so that he could teach others. Through his sermons, books and tapes, Dr. Strauss made God’s eternal message relevant to thousands of people worldwide. He had a special gift for making the Bible come alive in a practical way.


Prof, Shamima Ahmed is an academic who has taught at Northern Kentucky University.
She has written an excellent text, namely, ‘Effective Non-Profit Management – Context, Concepts & Competencies’, for students, as well as professionals, with an interest in non-profit management.
I have found the book to be quite comprehensive and it covers the essentials in a more than adequate way.
Although, the book has been primarily written for the American market but the concepts are by and large applicable universally
Each chapter concludes with a discussion of a recent issue and a case study. They include discussion questions, a listing of Web resources, and a review of terms at the end of each chapter.
The introductory chapter discusses non-profit organizations, their phenomenal growth, the different categories of non-profits, and the scope and significance of this sector. The second chapter focuses on explaining the linkages among non-profits, for-profits, and government organizations. The next couple of chapters provide a detailed discussion of essential non-profit law, non-profit governance, human resource management, resource acquisition and management, marketing, technology, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and effectiveness.
In an approach that balances theory and application, the book is a guide to the practical art of forming, managing, and leading non-profit organizations. Of particular interest is the idea of ‘Manager-Leader’.
I have personally found the text very helpful and so would students and practitioners of non-profit management.


Folk Music History:
Regions and Roots of American Folk Songs
The current interest in folk music history is really not surprising. Many of us want to know our "roots" - where did we come from and how can that still influence us today?
Even many young people today love and appreciate the old folk songs and their history. People ages 60 - 80+ certainly remember them.
I classify folk songs as most songs that are older than the 1920s. Some go as far back as the 1400s.
American Folk Song Origin
About 90% of
American folk songs
(that had their origin outside the U.S.A.) came from the British Isles.
Some of our classic folk songs are American all the way through - many coming from the African slave people of the South, and Appalchia of the mid-west. Other common terms for these particular styles of music were Negro Spirituals and Appalachian Folk Music.
What is Folk Music History?
Folk music can be defined as the music of the common people. Folk songs were usually quite simple in melody and lyrics and depicted some of the life of the pioneers, especially the working class, where pick and shovel work was usually the order of the day.
Negro Spirituals, as they were called, were often songs about struggle and pain, and singing them perhaps encouraged the slaves to envision a better future.
One little known folk music history fact is the following: In 1852, the NOW folk song "Wait for the Wagon" was published at the same time as the first published version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" - then in a serial magazine form.
Many believe that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was one of the major causes for the Civil War (1861-1865) and subsequent freedom for the slaves. This war was known to the people of the South as The War Between the States.
Folk music was played on simple instruments, mostly those instruments that were portable. Minstrels, or
as they were sometimes called, were quite popular traveling musicians in the early days of American life. For a beautiful old folk song played with folk music instrumentation, click
Appalachian folk songs spoke of the common life - hard work, family, relationships, and sentiment (like My Old Kentucky Home).
Folk music history is a legacy of simple songs, embraced by the community and passed down through generations of children and grandchildren.
The nostalgia from the past is never far away - sing a folk song today!

We scaffolded the materials so that students gradually learn how to use the Roamer and reinforcement strategies are built into the subject matter
Roamer Topic Packs focus on particular theme, aspects of the curriculum or the development of specific skills. These are particularly useful in difficult to teach topics.
Access Free Roamer Activities…
The Library contains all the Roamer Activities. This includes many free activities. Access to the Library is free to all Roamer User Group members. You can apply for a Guest Pass which allows you to explore the library and check out sample activities.

Schools that want to use the case method more effectively can use this book to teach groups of faculty how to apply case method techniques. For the first time, too, a book about case method teaching attempts to show how the method can be applied in a liberal arts setting. A liberal arts module in the book presents an innovative program for instructors who want to experiment with discussion teaching in traditional arts and science areas. The book focuses on a wide range of knotty problems faced by most instructors, experienced or new, creating an opportunity for them to learn from each other. Its main purpose is to provide a rich opportunity for both professional school and liberal arts instructors to develop their own discussion leadership skills, and to further the process of learning for both themselves and their students.

Characters often will take over and evolve on their own. Characters will also stop dead in their tracks and go juan no where because they are not going in the right direction. There is no right or wrong way when it comes to writing a book. Most writers work and write with many different methods. So the best tip of all is to find the best way that works for you. If you have to try out several different tips to get to your comfort zone then go xmas for. It is like learning, we all learn differently and we definitely all write differently.
This will give you a destination of where you want to go and homework when you need to go there. The outline can be in any style you like. It is up to you as the writer to determine how in depth you make the outline. Just remember that the more details you put in an outline, the more vivid the book will already be to you the writer. Know your Characters, characters are what make great books. If you have characters that intrigue, you have readers asking questions. When readers ask questions they want to learn more about your characters and the book in general. With characters it is always good to investigate and get to know them as the writer.
the first chapter and beyond is have a great opening is start out as closely as possible to the end of the story. This will require every single word to count, meaning quality not quantity. You will guarantee that readers will be grabbed from the very first sentence of your very first chapter. Write from an Outline, some of the greatest writers make outlines. You remember outlines; those annoying things teachers used to make us do for our research papers. Well, the same thing that we hated then can help you now. Make an outline of the first chapter and each chapter after that. The outline is not set in stone; therefore you can rearrange some as you.
The opening of your first chapter should be one that pulls readers into the book and leaves them wanting more. This first sentence needs to reach through the pages and grab readers. By doing this you engage your readers right off the bat and get them so engrossed in the book they do not want to put it down. You want readers to feel they are part of the book. Starting with a question is also good way to get readers involved in the book. The question has to be one that has substance and purpose. Make the question that seems or is philosophical.

Charm++ is a mature, highly scalable parallel programming system, and is an alternative to current shared and distributed methods. Though written in a C++ skeleton, it is compatible with Fortran, C, and C++. Code written in MPI can call Charm++, and Charm++ can call MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, and more.
Charm++ helps creators of compute intensive software deliver better shared and distributed memory parallel application performance, and improves overall throughput and reduces development and maintenance effort by enabling object oriented methods, dynamic load balancing, and fault tolerance with high level C++ style programming.
The problem is broken down into logical units, which are automatically mapped to processors.
Load imbalance arises in many HPC applications, and also occurs on mixed-hardware clusters. Rather than make every program solve this on its own, Charm++ provides automatic load balancing for all applications.
Automatic Communication & Computation Overlap
Charm++ exploits logical decomposition to enable dynamic overlap of communication and computation as the application executes.
Checkpointing & Resilience
Applications written in Charm++ can automatically checkpoint and restart with no extra code or special OS support. They can also run through node failures!

Isa. 35:1-6, 10 James 5:7-10 Matt. 11:2-11
John the Baptist as Our Advent Guide by Rev. Jeffrey Lawrence
| Today, we meet St. John the Baptist in his prison cell. The ancient Jewish historian,
Josephus, writes that the Baptist was locked up in a place called Machaerus, King Herod's
fortress on the dreary and isolated hills east of the Dead Sea. ...
"The Perfect Faith of the Blessed Virgin" by Carl E. Olson |
God has a mother and she was chosen before the beginning of time. This is an amazing belief,
one that is sometimes mocked and often misunderstood, and misrepresented, sometimes even by
Catholics. Yet this truth is at the heart of Advent and Christmas - as well as at the heart of
the entire Christian Faith. ...
"Advent with Jean Daniélou" by Carl E. Olson | Fr. Jean Daniélou's
The Advent of Salvation, originally published simply as Advent in 1950, may be the
best $3.00 purchase I've ever made. The out-of-print book is a classic work on the meaning of Advent.
Here are a few of Daniélou's thoughts about this wonderful but often overlooked season. ...
"Food for St. Lucys Feast", an excerpt from A Continual Feast by Evelyn Birge Vitz
| St. Lucys Day marks a moment of festivity in Advent. In Sweden in particular, her feast is
celebrated with customs hundreds of years old. The eldest daughter of a household, wearing a white
dress with a crimson sash, and a whortleberry or lingonberry crown, set with lighted candles, wakes
the members of the family, and serves them special buns or a cake and coffee. ...
"The Advent Wreath",
an excerpt from Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany in the Domestic Church by by Peter & Catherine Fournier
| Every season of Advent is a new
reminder of the promise of eternity. (CCC 1020 - 1029) Thus, Advent wreaths are made of evergreens
to symbolize God's "everlastingness" and our immortality. (Purple is the liturgical color for Advent,
green in the wreath symbolizes hope and new life.) Four candles--three purple or violet that represent
penance, sorrow, and longing expectation and one rose or pink that represents the hope and coming joy--are
used to represent the four weeks of Advent. ...

Pianist, jazz arranger, composer, conductor Boris Claudio Schifrin was born June 21, 1932. Studied at the Paris Conservatory and made his debut in the American jazz scene with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie—Schifrin called him the "Pierre Boulez of Jazz"—and others (Count Basie, Quincy Jones, ...), Argentina-born Lalo Schifrin started composing two films for French actor Alain Delon: Les Félins and Once a Thief. He knew composers Igor Stravinsky and Bernard Herrmann and payed tributes to these music men in the 1990's with two albums: The Firebird that he defined as being "Jazz meets the Symphony" and Master of Mayhem that was a compilation of Hitchcock film scores combined with his own greatest hits. He composed two scores for actor Steve McQueen: The Cincinnati Kid and Bullitt and three scores for actor Charles Bronson: St. Ives, Telefon and Love and Bullets. Schifrin also was a daring modernist experimenter which achieved ambitious and unconventional works such as Hell in the Pacific, THX 1138 and The Hellstrom Chronicle. In the 1960’s, he worked for Norman Felton and his company Arena: the espionage series The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (see the suspenseful Latin score "The Fiddlesticks Affair") and the WWII series Jericho (see the hyper martial score "Upbeat and Underground")—both series were the music templates of Mission: Impossible. Oddly enough, 1966 saw three espionages series (two WWII: Jericho and Blue Light and one Cold War: Mission: Impossible) composed by Schifrin but only Mission: Impossible survived and overcame.
"Schifrin also was a daring modernist experimenter which achieved ambitious and unconventional works such as Hell in the Pacific, THX 1138 and The Hellstrom Chronicle".
The Mission: Impossible soundtrack is a high exercice of style in the field of military music, just pay attention to the many martial variations executed by Schifrin himself and all its composers which reinterprete the motif called "The Plot" over and over. I call that music: M.M.M. which stands for Modern Military Minimalism. Further more and, behind its obvious military color, the Mission: Impossible music is an experimental work of art that combines many folklores into an abstract jazz writing, for instance the season 1 scores as "Pilot" that is Latin America-oriented and "Memory" and "Operaton Rogosh" that are Slavic-oriented but inside an avant garde soundscape. Schifrin didn't work during the second season (1967-1968) of Mission: Impossible due to other television commissions: Mannix and Braddock. Season 3 has two powerful scores: the Slavic-oriented "The Heir Apparent" and the urban jazz meets Eastern India-oriented "The Contender" which refers to two of his film scores: Bullitt and Coogan's Bluff. Season 4 has one single score entitled "Submarine" which is a powerful martial score in the line of Kelly's Heroes and which foreshadows the series Planet of the Apes. His 1970's scores for the series follow the dissonant THX 1138 and the streetfunk Dirty Harry and reflect the slick hip America.
Soundtrack video for Lalo Schifrin's Harry in Your Pocket (1973).
But Schifrin’s most intimistic collaborations were with four Hollywood men:
(see Coogan’s Bluff, The Beguiled, Dirty Harry, Charley Varrick, Telefon)
3. Movie star Clint Eastwood
(see Coogan’s Bluff, Kelly’s Heroes, The Beguiled, Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Joe Kidd, Sudden Impact, The Dead Pool)
4. Director Stuart Rosenberg
(see Cool Hand Luke, WUSA, Voyage of the Damned, Love and Bullets, The Amityville Horror, Brubaker)
Trailer from Don Siegel's Charley Varrick (1973).
Lalo Schifrin also composed many movies made for television as: How They Run, The Doomsday Flight, How I spent My Summer Vacation, The Young Lawyers, The Mask of Sheba, The Aquarians, Escape, Earth II, Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol, Night Games (PETROCELLI pilot) to name but a few... Thanks to a letter, I used to discuss with the maestro and told him the mystical influence coming from his teacher Olivier Messiaen in two of his film scores and you recognized a peculiar and dissonant emphasis on the organ in "First Escape" (from THX 1138 in FSM0604) and "The Cross" (from Dirty Harry in Aleph Records030).

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy - Vindicated!
Does this sound familiar to anyone out there?
My chosen field of research, however, was antimicrobial resistance. That was a very poor choice in the 1970s and 80s since the NIH believed that such research should be funded by the pharmaceutical industry (what were they thinking?). Complicating my choice was the dearth of journals available to publish my research. One of the best and most appropriate journals for this research was Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy published by the American Society for Microbiology. When I looked down the list of “important” journals provided by my university – AAC was nowhere to be found.
I admit that when I first began my career, I didn’t even know about this priority list of journals. I was more interested in my research and getting my data published. But as I began to apply for more grant funding and for promotion in the university, the journal list suddenly loomed before me. I had been publishing in a variety of journals including those for clinical medicine, epidemiology, clinical microbiology and later, more and more, in AAC. None of those journals were on “the list.” My department chairman approached me about this. Publishing in the “higher priority” journals would be more likely to convince funding and promotions committees.
I listened. I began to try and publish in Journal of Biological Chemistry, J Biochem, Biochim Biophys Acta, J Bacteriol, J Med Chem, Chemistry, etc. These were on the list. I guess it worked since I was promoted and was able to obtain grant funding. But I still published a fair number of papers in AAC since it was, for much of my work, the most appropriate journal. Not only that, but I felt that for the microbiology of resistance, there really was no better journal out there. For the discovery of new antimicrobial agents, again, AAC was an important outlet since, unlike the chemistry journals, AAC insisted on key, relevant biological information.
Yesterday, through my AAC editorial duties, I learned that two of the three papers cited by the Nobel Committee in awarding the Nobel Prize in Medicine this year were AAC papers (http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/AAC.15.3.361, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/AAC.15.3.372). So much for academic elitism!


| Those who don't remember the past are condemned
to repeat it. (George Santayana)
...BOOKS SOON TO BE PUBLISHED (2017)!
Almost twenty years ago, a traumatic experience launched the author into a
search; a search to find numerous answers in life: why things are turning
out the way they are around us; why people act the way the do; etc. The
direction of this research, over time, would eventually focus on the earliest
chapters of Genesis, as well as parts of Revelation. From these portions of
Scripture, the author believes that so many answers to conditions in our
world could be found - spiritual, or otherwise. The best way to decipher
how things might have developed in our world, over time, is to discover
how it all might have begun.
From a small collection of interesting thoughts and tidbits, both volumes of
The Rise of Mystery Babylon developed into a powerhouse of information;
on a scale most-probably never seen before. It now incorporates elements
of most ancient texts / historical documents that are relevant to the cause;
and within public reach. The author devoted his entire life to assembling
even the littlest-known interpretations of Biblical scripture - especially those
devoted to times of early Genesis. There are literally hundreds upon
hundreds of ancient texts, commentaries, books, and articles, used to put
substance into these two volumes. Volume I is over 500 pages; the second
almost 1000. Everything, as well, is very well-documented; with footnotes
around every corner. Roughly 95% of the arguments contained therein
have some sort of sound documentation to back them up.
From all of these additions, one can see that, indeed, there may have been
one essential story to Genesis; going much deeper, and telling us a lot more,
than we may have ever learned in Sunday School! There are reasons why
the messages in these books have been all but obscured, or have been all
but forgotten - and it's not good. Elements of society - past and present -
would feel just content with letting these things stay where they were;
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth
becomes a revolutionary act.
- George Orwell
There is truly something more to it all, however.
From Adam to Esau; from the Garden of Eden to the Tower of Babel:
anyone familiar with the early stories of Genesis will know just how much
of the relevant information in them seems to have been left out of the
narrative; and we don't really know why... left out, that is, until now. The
"pieces of the puzzle" can now be entered back in; revealing some very
surprising and compelling details about it all. We'll also discover just how
these early stories relate to the prophecies of Revelation; and, especially,
our world of today.
A great deal of understanding of our current world could be derived from
understanding the complete story of our past. The past seems to parallel the
present in a lot of ways; history often repeating itself. These volumes shed
light on so much of this obscured information, and allows it to have their
rightful place in our minds; and in our hearts. Hopefully, these books could
give the reader a more positive foundation; to help him or her find true
answers to their world, and guidance in their everyday, spiritual quests.
The author is currently publishing both volumes. He also is seeking a way
to establish a ministry with all of this knowledge - ways to utilize the
massive amount of information obtained over the decades, and enable it all
to help others. Anyone who may be of help, or who may have information
on interested publishers, is urged to contact Brett, via the email(s):
Thank you - any and all - for your help.
