School of Law Library
The University of Ghana School of Law (UGSOL) Library is the largest and most resourced law library in Ghana. We are key players in the delivery of legal education at the UGSOL. The study of Law is essentially a Library-based subject and students spend a great deal of time in the Law Library. You will find that acquiring an effective working knowledge of the Law Library will help you not only during your period of formal legal education but also in the course of your legal practice.

Key objectives:

 Identify the best legal research methodologies and sources that will help resolve legal issues or problems being researched into.
 Effectively deploy and use multiple research tools and techniques in a variety of formats for our patrons.
 Evaluate sources for their reliability, currency, precedential value, accuracy, cost and applicability to the issues being researched.

The University of Ghana School of Law (UGSOL) library has seen significant changes over the years both in terms of infrastructure and service delivery. In the last quarter of 2011, UGSOL moved to its new and current location. The new Law building is a state of the art facility which houses a modern library. The new library is open, serene and has more sitting capacity. The library with assistance from the United States Mission through its Democracy and Human Rights Fund has developed an Online Public Access Catalogue. In 2004, through a Carnegie Corporation grant to the University of Ghana for expanding ICT and supporting automation, the library re-catalogued and integrated its collection into the Balme Library database. The library's collection currently comprises over 34,000 volumes of book stock, including current, rare and heritage materials on Ghanaian law,  a growing collection of Ghana government publications, law reports, textbooks and important legal journals. The Law library also provides access to electronic information resources on a range of law-related materials and subjects.

These resources can be found in print and online.

Institute of African Studies (IAS) Library
The IAS library serves fellows (faculty and researchers) and students of the institute. As part of the University of Ghana Library Systems (UGLS), the activity of the IAS

library is a reflection of what is done at the main library (Balme library) and so there is a lot of liaison activities between the centre and the IAS library to ensure that fellows

are students are aware of all the resources made available through the main library. The operations of the IAS library are governed by the UGLS policy with some local

disparities. The library has access and subscription to print resources and online/electronic resources which is accessible through (www.balme.ug.edu.gh).

The collections of the IAS library are basically special collections on Africa, its people and societies. These collections cuts across countries but more emphasis and efforts

are made to collect any material about and on Ghana. We have the newspaper project which constitute the indexing of newspapers from 2015 to present using

subjects and keywords as the search tern. The newspapers include Graphic, Times, Spectator, Chronicle and Mirror.

The collections are developed by acquiring relevant materials and textbooks based on recommendations by fellows. Again, fellows also contribute to the collection

by purchasing relevant materials from conferences and also giving copies of their book publications to enhance teaching, learning and research. The library has the

main reading room with a seating capacity of 72 and the graduate wing (for fellows, researchers and postgraduate students) with a seating capacity of 20.

The library has eight staff who are in charge of the daily operations of the library. The IAS library provides a siren environment for learning and research with Wi-Fi

School of Public Health (SPH) Library
Even though the establishment of the School of Public Health (SPH) dates back to 1994, it took almost 15 years to properly set up the School of Public Health library and gradually raise it to its present status. It started with a small collection in 1994 and steadily grew into a full-fledged school library in the year 2010, after merging the previous library collections with those at the then Malaria Centre which is now the current location of the School of Public Health. The SPH-Library is a branch of the University of Ghana Library System (UGLS). As such, this library also benefits from the use of e-resources acquired by the Balme Library through the interconnectivity of the University of Ghana library system.

Although a small library, the SPH-Library is well-equipped to serve its numerous clienteles. For example, there is a Wi-Fi-facility in the library for easy connectivity to the internet by users. Additionally, the collection is current because efforts are made by the management of the Public Health School to ensure that the collection is up to date. Since most students of the school are health practitioners, some of whom are resident outside the Greater-Accra region, provision has been made for them to use the off-campus access for the use of the library resources anywhere outside campus at their own convenience.

Apart from students and faculty of SPH, the library is patronised by regular users from other departments on UG campus. The SPH-Library also provides services to students and faculty from other Universities and Public Health Institutions, members of Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, private medical practitioners and researchers who visit the library to use print books as well as e-resources. All these other categories of users are being attracted to the SPH-Library not only because the SPH at UG is the pioneer public health school to be established in Ghana but also due to the uniqueness of the library's collection. Some of the titles available in stock can be located under the following broad subject areas:

Encyclopaedias and dictionaries in public health, public health policy; culture, health and illness; public health monitoring & evaluation; health communication; modern nutrition in health; understanding environmental health; epidemiology; principles and practices of infectious diseases; adolescent health problems; waste treatment and disposal and public health research methods among others.

Harry Lutz Symons (1893 - 1962) was a Canadian writer, who won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour in 1947 for Ojibway Melody, a volume of humorous essays about summer recreational life on Ontario's Georgian Bay.

His other works included Friendship (1943), Three Ships West (1949), The Bored Meeting (1951) and Orange Belt Special (1956), and the non-fiction works Fences (1958) and Playthings of Yesterday: Harry Symons introduces the Percy C. Band Collection (1963).

His son Thomas Symons, a noted academic, founding president of Trent University, and former chair of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, credits the values expressed in Ojibway Melody with framing his career and contributing to Trent's decision to establish Canada's first university department in Indigenous Studies. Another son, Scott Symons, was a writer whose 1967 novel Place d'Armes was the first gay-themed novel published in Canada.

title: 37 Military Hospital

text:
The 37 Military Hospital is a specialist hospital located in Accra, on the main road between the Kotoka International Airport and central Accra. It is the largest military hospital in the Republic of Ghana after the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. The name 37 was because it was the 37th military hospital to be built in the British colony of West Africa. The hospital is also known for the story of the bats who never left their chief.

History
The hospital was originally established in 1941 by a British military officer, General George Giffard, as a military hospital to provide treatment for troops injured in the Second World War. At the same time, Giffard also arranged the creation of the 52 Military Hospital at Takoradi, although this was later relocated to India. The hospital's name at this time was No. 37 General Hospital; it was changed to 37 Military Hospital of the Gold Coast in 1956. The hospital was later expanded and opened to the public, although the hospital continues to be staffed primarily by military personnel. In 2011, during a national strike by doctors in public hospitals, the Ministry of Health donated GH ¢230,000 of medical supplies to the hospital to enable it to continue treating an increased number of patients. During this 19-day strike, the number of patients admitted to the hospital doubled.

In the aftermath of the 2015 Accra explosion amid the 2015 Accra floods, so many bodies were taken to the hospital that the morgue was overwhelmed. The explosion killed over 150 people.

Facilities
In total, the hospital has around 500 beds. It has a 24-hour accident and emergency department and pharmacy. Its x-ray facilities are also available 24 hours a day. Other departments include divisions for dental treatment, gynecology, pediatrics and veterinary treatment. Its trauma department has been described by one travel guide as "the best in Accra".

The hospital is also used as a teaching hospital for post-graduate medical students.

The hospital was established on July 4, 1941, as the 37th facility by the allied forces in the then Gold Coast. From 1991 till today the German company Hospital Engineering GmbH had significant participation in the phased development of the 37 Military Hospital and is responsible for the maintenance of the equipment:
 Medical Oxygen Production and Distribution (1991/1992)
 Operating Theatre Block, including Central Sterilisation Department (1992/1993)

title: One Epic Game

text:
One Epic Game is a 2011 endless runner video game developed and published by Czech company Grip Games. The game was released in July and August 2011 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita, iOS and Android. The game is a parody of multiple video game and movie clichés.

Gameplay
The player controls an infinity running character, who can only jump and shoot. Jumping helps him avoid obstacles and traps while shooting kills enemies. The player can also kill enemies by jumping on their heads. There are multiple game modes in the game. The main mode is the story mode. There are a series of missions with the story running throughout them. There is a task in every mission (for example, travelling 1000 metres, getting to end of a level with only one life or killing a certain number of enemies). Every mission is set in one of five worlds - Zombie Outbreak, Nuclear Wasteland, World War II, Alien Invasion and Fantasy Kingdom. The story is told in the form of comic scenes.

Another mode is Free Run. In this mode the player chooses a world and then tries to get the highest possible score.

The last mode is Challenges. Here, the player chooses a task and then tries to complete it. He can also choose the difficulty level. For the easiest difficulty level, he wins a bronze medal, while for the hardest, he wins a gold medal.

There are multiple weapons in the game. The player starts with a Pistol. He can also acquire another weapon along the way, for example a Shotgun, Machine gun, Rocket launcher, Flamethrower or Laser. Every weapon works differently. When a player is hurt, they lose any weapon they may have acquired during the course of the game and will have to fight with a pistol again. The player can only ever carry one weapon. The player can also pick up a Heart, which gives them a life, or a jetpack, which allows them to fly. There is a checkpoint every 1000 metres.

Plot
The story follows Alpha Dog as he fights diabolical Zork, who tries to destroy the world.

Characters
Alpha Dog - The main character. He is a traditional action hero. His job is to save the world yet is fully aware that he is a video game character.
Zork - The antagonist. He wants to destroy the world.
Mr. P - The US president. He communicates with Alpha Dog and sometimes gives him tasks to complete.

Reception
The game has received mixed to positive reviews from critics. The PlayStation version currently holds 66% on Metacritic while the IPad version holds 69%. The game was praised for its graphics, replay value and gameplay. Some reviewers praised the humor while others criticised it. The game was also criticised for its story.

title: Booker Washington Institute

text:
The Booker Washington Institute (BWI) is a public, post-secondary school in Kakata, Margibi County, Liberia. Founded in 1929 as the Booker Washington Agricultural and Industrial Institute, it was the country's first agricultural and vocational school. BWI was founded with assistance from Americans and is named after American educator Booker T. Washington. Located east of the country's capital of Monrovia, the school sits on a large rural campus and has about 1,800 students.

History
During the 1920s Liberian President Charles D. B. King visited the United States and toured the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama founded by Booker T. Washington. Upon his return to Liberia, President King hired Massachusetts Institute of Technology's first African-American graduate, Robert Robinson Taylor, to design a campus for a similar school in Liberia. The government donated  in Margibi County for use by the new school, which was named after Washington. The school opened in 1929 with the financial assistance of the Firestone Natural Rubber Company and the Phelps Stokes Fund. Firestone had opened the world's largest rubber plantation in Liberia in 1926. Other supporters included the American Colonization Society, missionary boards, and individuals.

American James L. Sibley served as the first principal of the new school. All principals of the institute were white until 1946. BWI's board of trustees was run by Americans until the Liberian government assumed control in 1953. Board meetings were held in New York City. Prior to 1980, the school was one of several in the country to participate in the Army Student Training Program used to train officers for the Armed Forces of Liberia.

In 1990, the school was closed due to the violence from the First Liberian Civil War, and did not re-open until 2000. During the Second Liberian Civil War, it was attacked by rebel forces in April 2002, which then caused the school to close until September 2002. At one point in 2003 it was the only college open in Liberia after the University of Liberia had been attacked by Charles Taylor's forces. The school was the largest secondary school in the country during part of the first decade of the 21st century with around 1,500 pupils. In September 2003, ECOMIL peacekeeping troops used the school as a base. The alumni association started construction on an alumni center at the school in 2014. As of 2014, the school is transitioning from high school to a community college curriculum.

Academics
The school was Liberia's first agricultural and vocational school. It is located about  east of Monrovia, country's capital city. As of 2014, BWI has approximately 1,800 students enrolled at the  rural campus in Margibi County near the Kakata Rural Teacher Training Institute in Kakata. BWI has a computer lab used by both the school and other students, and offers courses in welding, carpentry, and agriculture. It also is an American Corners institution in which the United States federal government provides items such as computers and books used to study about the United States.

title: Dacheng teaching of Mount Jizu

text:
Dacheng teaching of Mount Jizu (鸡足山大乘教 Jīzú shān dàchéng jiào, "Great Vehicle teaching of Mount Jizu"), is a Chinese folk religious sect, a branch of Luoism in western China established by Zhang Baotai (張保太) in the late 17th century, during the Manchu-ruled Qing dynasty.

The sect originated in Mount Jizu, Yunnan, near Qing's border with the Burmese Taungoo dynasty. Many in the sect also advocated for the restoration of the Chinese-ruled Ming dynasty in China. It grew quickly in many southern Chinese regions and was behind a few rebellions in the 1730s and 1740s which were ruthlessly suppressed.

In 1746 the Qianlong Emperor officially banned the Dacheng religions, a year after Zhang died in prison. Many followers from Yunnan fled to Burma.

title: Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

text:
The Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a booklet containing a set of prayers including the Roman Catholic novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, that was originally published in Jaén, Spain in 1899. It was then widely republished by American Redemptorist priests in 1927, then ultimately revised by Irish and Australian Redemptorist priests on 23 June 1948.

The present booklet was mainly co-authored by the Australian priest The Rev Leo James English, C.Ss.R, and Fra Gerard O'Donnell, and is officially presently used at the Church of San Alphonsus Ligouri in Rome each week, where the original icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is permanently enshrined.

In the Catholic Church in the Philippines, the novena was first recited at the Redemptorist-run St. Clement's Church in La Paz, Iloilo following World War II and is still recited every Wednesday.  The practice of Wednesday novena has since spread to the Baclaran Church, a Redemptorist-run church in Metro Manila, elsewhere in the Philippines, and in the Filipino diaspora. The popularity of the novena became known due to the authorisation granted by the Holy See to propagate the icon, along with prayers which addressed the strengthening of marriages, healing of sicknesses, and helping find employment, thus earning it a quick following from the masses.

In the United States, a 9-day televised novena is hosted at the Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help hosted by CatholicTV. The icon featured on the show does not bear its canonical crown.

History
The earliest existing novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help was a booklet already in its third edition, and was published by the Bishop of Madrid, José María Cos y Macho, who granted his imprimatur in 1899. These were followed by re-printing in later years.

In the United States, the first novena prayers were compiled by Reverend Joseph Chapoton, the Vice-provincial of Portland, Oregon. After his death in 1925, the laity added more prayers and hymns into the booklet.

This perhaps was the main reason why for many years, there was no set of novena prayers designated for Perpetual Help. By research within the United States, numerous texts vary from the Perpetual Help novena used in Redemptorist centers in Portland, Brooklyn, Boston, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Saint Louis, Missouri. Several versions of the Novena were made and circulated from the now-closed St. Philomena's Church (Pittsburgh). One of these copies, dating from 1927, was brought to Manila in the Philippine Islands.

The novena was originally designed for exclusive recitation by the presiding priest. After the Second Vatican Council, the laity were encouraged to participate more in religious activities, thus necessitating a revision of the prayers for uniform use by the laity. The new set of prayers was used in Baclaran Church and became widespread in various Filipino congregations.

The specific acts of Benediction and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament during the novena service, however, remain the exclusive domain of the presiding priest.

Revision
During the pontificate of Pope Paul VI, a foreword on the indulgences for the novena was attached, including instructions citing the Sacrosanctum Concilium (#13) to:

 Assist during Mass for collections, lector and laity recitation of the Novena within parishes.
 Permission to recite the novena in private, in cases of dire sickness or illness before the image.
 Writing a letter of thanksgiving in honour of Our Mother of Perpetual Help
 Dropping the letter of thanksgiving or petition in its designated box provided by the parish.
 Attaching the Benediction and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, per citation of the Mediator Dei, part II, chapter IV

From the original 1927 Portland version, several common Marian hymns were included. After Vatican II, the following expiatory prayers were removed:

 "That we may never grow so proud as to think we can do without God or religion"
 "That we may practise self-denial and penance this Lent"
 The Magnificat prayer

Imprimatur
On 17 May 1866, Pope Pius IX originally granted approval via the Sacred Congregation of Rites on three specific prayers dedicated to the title of Perpetual Help. These prayers were granted a plenary indulgence of 100 days.

The Bishop of Madrid, José María Cos y Macho, granted his Imprimatur on the earliest compiled novena booklets in 1899, followed by a re-print in 1902, 1917, 1927, 1935 etc.

An ordinary local permission to print the text was obtained via the vice-provincial of Portland, Oregon, Reverend Joseph Chapoton. To date, various texts were re-printed for private devotional use.

The Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal George Mundelein gave an Imprimatur for the Perpetual Help novena in the Polish language on New Year's Eve 1934.

The Archbishop of San Francisco John Joseph Mitty gave his license on 26 August 1941 on a re-print of the original 1927 Portland version.

The Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Francis Spellman granted his license for the novena devotions in Boston, Massachusetts on 20 June 1948.

The Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Rufino Santos on 14 April 1973, while the imprimi potest was given by the vice-provincial of Manila, Redemptorist friar Patrick Deane, CSsR.

The Archbishop of Singapore, Michel Olçomendy who granted a similar version for the town of Novena, Singapore on 28 September 1973.

Biography
His parents owned a hardware store. As with many future artists, he displayed an early affinity for drawing. His first formal studies were in 1849 with Domènec Soberano, a local wine merchant and amateur painter. In 1853, he and his fellow student, Marià Fortuny, were given the opportunity to exhibit at a showing held by the Casino de Reus.

Later that year, he and Fortuny enrolled at the Escola de la Llotja, where he studied with Claudi Lorenzale, a painter associated with the German Nazarene movement, among others. At this time, he produced mostly historical and religious scenes.

In 1857 he, Fortuny and two others were given the opportunity to compete for a grant to study in Rome. Fortuny was chosen and Tapiró moved to Madrid, where he enrolled at the "Escuela Superior de Pintura y Grabado", a branch of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. His instructor there was Federico de Madrazo. He returned to Barcelona in 1860 and assisted with decorating the façade at the Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya

In 1862, he joined his friend, Fortuny, in Rome and was introduced to his circle of artistic acquaintances who met at the Antico Caffè Greco. They also visited Naples and Florence together. While there, he took evening classes to learn how to paint watercolors and his works began to focus more on genre themes. These works became very popular and established his reputation.

In 1871 he, Fortuny and Bernardo Ferrándiz took a trip to Tangier. This would prove decisive for his career. In 1873, he held his first showing of Orientalist paintings at the "International Art Circle of Rome". Fortuny's sudden death in 1874 affected Tapiró deeply, and prompted his decision to leave Rome.

Living in Tangier
Rather than remain in Spain, his memories of Tangier led him to join a diplomatic mission on its way to meet with Sultan Hassan I in 1876. Once there, he moved into a newly built home near the medina quarter and later acquired an old theater to serve as his studio. Although he frequently travelled to exhibitions (as far afield as Saint Petersburg and New York) and spent the summers with his family in Reus, he would live in Tangier for the rest of his life.

In 1886, he married twenty-year-old Maria Manuela Valerega Cano, a Tangier native of Italian ancestry. Shortly after, a Jewish friend of Maria's died and they adopted her orphaned son.

In 1905, his career declined. He began having respiratory and cardiovascular problems due to a lung infection he had contracted in 1903, and often did not have enough energy to work. Travelling to promote his paintings also became very difficult. The situation was aggravated by a sharp decrease in the number of foreign visitors and tourists; caused by the rebellion of Bou Hmara and the Perdicaris incident. In 1907, he and his wife rented a house in Madrid in a last ditch effort to promote his work at an exhibition of the Círculo de Bellas Artes.

His health problems eventually led to his death. His executor began a collection to defray the costs of a monument in his honor, but it was never created. Initially, he was buried in Tangier but, in 1921, the government of Reus demanded that he be recognized in his home town. In 1947, his remains were moved to Reus and reinterred near his friend, Fortuny. A plaque was placed on the house where he was born. In 2013, a joint retrospective was held at the  and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.

title: Schleicher Electronic

text:
Schleicher Electronic GmbH und Co. KG is a German technology company based in Berlin.

The company develops and produces control systems (CNC) used in automation engineering. In addition, Schleicher Electronic also works in the field of functional safety engineering.

Schleicher Electronic collaborates with internationally known research facilities, such as the Fraunhofer Institutes and the Technische Universität Berlin. The company is also a member of SERCOS International e.V. – an open, real-time interface for drives.

History

The company was founded as “Schleicher Relais Werke” by Otto Schleicher in 1937. In 1958, “Schleicher Relais Werke” presented the MZ 54 time-delay relay at the first industrial trade fair in Hannover. It was the first multifunctional time-delay relay, and due to its purely electromechanical basis, is still used in many ways. Electromechanical (and later electronic) time-delay relays made “Schleicher Relais Werke” internationally known.

In 1976, Schleicher developed and marketed a programmable controller (PLC). In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, Schleicher developed a numerical control (NC) kernel in 1983. They are one of the few CNC manufacturers with their own software kernel.

In 1986, the company received the Berlin-Brandenburg Innovation Prize for an “Online Curve Interpolator” for generating free-form curves (in NC machines). In 1988, the Promodul-U CNC-RC-PLC system was introduced, and safety control devices were introduced to the market in 1989. In 1995, production was changed from assembly-belt production to group-workstations, a very new concept at the time. Starting in 2003, Schleicher Electronic was acquired by Wieland Group. Wieland incorporated Schleicher into the parent company in certain product areas and discontinued a series of product developments. At that time, Schleicher was mainly a production and development company and dependent on the sales department of Wieland, until they were sold to Aurelius AG in 2007. After reorganisation, the expansion of the sales department and establishment in the Asian market, Aurelius AG sold the company in the summer of 2013 to entrepreneur Sven Dübbers.

title: On My Way (Louis Armstrong song)

text:
"On My Way" is a Louis Armstrong song that appeared on the album Louis and the Good Book in 1958 and was issued with "I'll String Along with You" as a single in 1959. It features a solo section with Louis and Trummy Young.

A variant of I'm on My Way (traditional song), Armstrong's version starts with "On My Way" or "I'm on My Way" (or similar phrases in various versions) and then goes into a chorus "On my way now, got on my traveling shoes...".

The song is no relation to "Oh, Lawd, I'm on My Way!", a song sung by Ella Fitzgerald the previous year (1957) on the Porgy and Bess album by Fitzgerald and Armstrong. That song begins: "Porgy and all, I'm on my way to a heav'nly lan.

title: KAHRP

text:
KAHRP (knob-associated histidine-rich protein) is a protein expressed by Plasmodium falciparum infecting erythrocytes. KAHRP is a major component of knobs, feature found on Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes.

It has been suggested that KAHRP may play a role in trafficking or docking PfEMP1, major malarial cytoadherence protein to the erythrocyte membrane; however, these findings were disputed by recent NMR and fluorescence anisotropy studies showing no interaction between PfEMP1 and KAHRP.

Instead, KAHRP was shown to interact with Ankyrin, more precisely the D3 subunit of the Membrane-binding domain of Ankyrin type 1. This interaction was suggested via SPR, ELISA, and Pulldown studies, however, it has not been confirmed by NMR, ITC, crystallography, or fluorescence anisotropy.

title: Willem Reuter

text:
Willem Reuter (c.1642 in Brussels – 1681 in Rome) was a Flemish painter of cityscapes, genre paintings and history paintings who was primarily active in Rome, where he was known as Guglielmo Reuter.  He was part of the circle of Dutch and Flemish genre painters in Rome who are referred to as the 'Bamboccianti' and were known for their scenes depicting the lower classes in Rome.

Life

Very little is known about Reuter’s early life in Flanders.  He trained with the Brussels painter Michiel Sweerts.   Sweerts had lived in Rome for ten years where he had moved into the circle of Flemish and Dutch genre painters around Pieter van Laer who are commonly referred to as the ‘Bamboccianti’. The Bamboccianti brought existing traditions of depicting peasant subjects from sixteenth-century Netherlandish art with them to Italy and generally created small cabinet paintings or etchings of the everyday life of the lower classes in Rome and its countryside.

It is not clear when Reuter travelled to Rome where he resided in the "casa dei pittori fiamminghi" near the Piazza del Popolo.  The first documentary proof of his presence in Rome is the registration of his marriage to the local woman Anna Previtali in 1672 but he must have arrived in the city some years earlier.

Like his master Sweerts, he linked up with the Bamboccianti genre painters in Rome.  He may also have become a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome.  His wife died in 1678 and the next year he joined the 'Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon', with the Dutch Bamboccianti painter Dirck Helmbreker acting as his sponsor.  The Congregazione counted among its members many important artists who left their mark in Rome.

Work

Only a small number of paintings have been ascribed to Willem Reuter with any level of certainty.  His chronology is difficult to determine as he never dated his work.  His paintings usually depict market scenes or processions in Roman piazzas and occasionally historic or religious events set in landscape settings.  An example of a depiction of a historical event is the Celebration on the Piazza di Spagna, which probably depicts the birth of the Spanish infant Don Carlos in the year 1661 (in the collection of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Vienna in 1992).

Willem Reuter’s Roman panoramic market scene dated 1669 referred to as A Roman market (Norton Simon Museum) is an example of his bustling market scenes.  The picture is built up of many different scenes and anecdotes such as a commedia dell’arte performance, a beggar receiving alms and an overturned cart carrying fragile crockery. The carefully orchestrated composition of the work makes each event clearly legible. In particular, the vertically-oriented buildings provide a stable backdrop for the loosely arranged groupings of people placed on the piazza's background to foreground.  A strong light helps clarify the figures and their interactions.

His work, although superficially similar to the Bamboccianti in the use of Roman settings populated with many figures, can be distinguished from the paintings of this group of genre painters, as Reuter did not adopt the typology of the Bamboccianti and represents the cityscape more in the form of a veduta. Unlike other Bamboccianti, Reuter paid more attention to the precise rendering of nature. He borrowed from his master Sweerts (who was in turn influenced by Caravaggio) the use of chiaroscuro and a preference for the use of red tones.  Like Sweerts, Reuter was able to convey a tranquil mood by catching his figures engaged in their daily activities in sharply angled light. His work also shows classicist tendencies, with statuesque figures placed in architectural settings or idealized landscapes, and this was probably the reason why one of his works was formerly attributed to Nicolas Poussin.

He influenced Peeter Bolckman.

text:
Purple Sea () is a 2009 Italian romance drama film directed by Donatella Maiorca. It is based on the non-fiction novel Minchia di re written by Giacomo Pilati. The film premiered at the 2009 Rome Film Festival. It was nominated for two Nastro d'Argento Awards, for Best Actress (Valeria Solarino) and Best Original Song ("Sogno" by Gianna Nannini).

Plot summary
The film tells the love story between Angela and Sara in 19th-century Sicily (circa 1860, during the Expedition of the Thousand). To survive the scandal, Angela's family winds up passing her off as a boy, going so far as to alter her birth certificate. Angela cuts her hair short and hides her own femininity, in defiance of the mentality of the place.

Production
Produced by the Italian Dreams Factory, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and the Region of Sicily. The movie, filmed in San Vito Lo Capo, Trapani, and Favignana, was shown at the 2009 Rome Film Festival and distributed to theaters on October 16, 2009.

Meaning of the title

The film's title refers to the Sicilian name of the Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis), a protogynous fish that is born female and turns male as it grows older.

The Viola (violet) is a fish and God has willed it. When it is male it is called Minchia di Re (king's penis). For love it becomes female and has the colors of the flower. It turns male again after the water has taken its eggs.

title: Eric Bercovici

text:
Eric Bercovici (February 27, 1933 – February 9, 2014) was an American television and film producer and screenwriter. He was best known for producing and adapting the screenplay for the 1980 television miniseries Shōgun.

Born in New York City to screenwriter Leonardo Bercovici and Frances Ellis Fleischman, he studied theater at Yale University. His career had barely begun when his father was blacklisted in 1951 through the late 1950s. Eric Bercovici then went to Europe to work on films, returning to the U.S. in 1965. He then began writing episodes of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I Spy, and The Danny Thomas Hour. He wrote the screenplays for the 1968 films Hell in the Pacific and Day of the Evil Gun. In the 1970s, he wrote episodes for Hawaii Five-O and created the series Assignment Vienna and its pilot Assignment: Munich. In 1977, he adapted John Ehrlichman's novel The Company into a miniseries titled Washington: Behind Closed Doors.

In 1980, Bercovici adapted James Clavell's 1975 novel Shōgun about an English seaman marooned in 17th century Japan into a nine-hour miniseries of the same name. He was also a producer of the series. Shōgun won three of its 14 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Miniseries, and all three of its Golden Globe nominations, including Best TV Series – Drama. At the time, it was also one of the highest-rated miniseries in television history, second only to Roots.

Bercovici would finish out the 1980s and his writing/producing career as the creator, writer and executive producer for the 1981–82 James Arness vehicle McClain's Law (including its two-hour pilot film) as well as the 1982 ensemble drama Chicago Story, but neither series lasted longer than 14 episodes. His novel So Little Cause for Caroline was adapted into the 1982 made-for-TV film One Shoe Makes It Murder and he wrote at least one episode of Lindsay Wagner's 1984 police drama Jessie. In 1986–87 he was one of the screenwriters for the films The Fifth Missile and Farewell Moscow. His final project was as writer and producer of Noble House, based on another Clavell novel. When not writing screenplays, Bercovici wrote crime novels.

Personal life
Eric Bercovici was the son of screenwriter Leonardo Bercovici (1908 –1995) and Frances Ellis Fleischman (1910 - 1951). His father also directed and produced three feature films.

In February 2014, Eric Bercovici died of a heart attack at his home in Kaneohe, Hawaii 18 days before his 81st birthday. He was survived by his wife, Chiho Adachi, whom he met while making Shōgun, and three sons from previous marriages, musician/composer/producer Jacob Bercovici, producer/engineer Hilary Bercovici and writer/actor/director Luca Bercovici. He was formerly married to Sylvia,  and actress Karen Berger.
