In art nouveau frame drawn in ink on brown backing paper: The Harvest Moon, Chas. R. Mackintosh, 1893, To John Keppie, October 1894.
Items in The Glasgow School of Art's Mackintosh collection include: furniture, watercolours, drawings, architectural drawings, design drawings, sketchbooks, metalwork and photographs.
Mackintosh studied evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art between 1883-1894, winning numerous student prizes and competitions including the prestigious Alexander Thomson Travelling Studentship in 1890. Mackintosh and his contemporaries also produced four volumes of a publication called "The Magazine" during their time as students, which included examples of their writing and artworks. GSA Archives and Collections hold Mackintosh's Italian Sketchbook, as well as all four volumes of The Magazine, all of which can be browsed on our catalogue.
The majority of Mackintosh's three-dimensional work was created with the help of a small number of patrons within a short period of intense activity between 1896 and 1910. Francis Newbery was headmaster of The Glasgow School of Art during this time and was supportive of Mackintosh's ultimately successful bid to design a new art school building in 1896 - his most prestigious undertaking. For Miss Kate Cranston he designed a series of Glasgow tearoom interiors and for the businessmen William Davidson and Walter Blackie, he was commissioned to design large private houses, 'Windyhill' in Kilmacolm and 'The Hill House' in Helensburgh. In Europe, the originality of Mackintosh's style was quickly appreciated and in 1900 he was invited to participate at the 8th Vienna Secession.
In 1902 Mackintosh was invited to participate at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in Turin and later at exhibitions in Moscow and Berlin. Despite this success Mackintosh's work met with considerable indifference at home. Few private clients were sufficiently sympathetic to want his 'total design' of house and interior and he was incapable of compromise.
By 1914 Mackintosh had despaired of ever receiving true recognition in Glasgow and together with his wife Margaret Macdonald he moved, temporarily, to Walberswick on the Suffolk Coastline (in England), where he painted many fine flower studies in watercolour. In 1915 the Mackintoshes settled in London and for the next few years Mackintosh attempted to resume practice as an architect and designer. The designs he produced at this time for textiles, for the 'Dug-out' Tea Room in Glasgow and the dramatic interiors for 78 Derngate in Northampton, England show him working in a bold new style of decoration, using primary colours and geometric motifs.
In 1923 the Mackintoshes left London for the South of France, finally living in Port Vendres where Mackintosh gave up all thoughts of architecture and design and devoted himself entirely to painting landscapes. He died in London, of cancer, on 10 December 1928.
The majority of Mackintosh's design work, (including furniture and metalwork), architectural drawings, textile designs and watercolours are in the possession of three public collections - The Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow Museums, and the Hunterian Art Gallery at the University of Glasgow - although significant (individual) pieces can be found in museums across the UK and Europe, North America and Japan. However, some of Mackintosh's most important, symbolist watercolours from the early to mid-1890s are to be found in the collection of The Glasgow School of Art.
The Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections hold a large number of items by Mackintosh, giving us one of the largest collections of his work held in public ownership. The collection is one of 50 Recognised Collections of National Significance to Scotland. We continue to investigate new routes of engagement for the collection. For example, our Mac(k)cessibility project in conjunction with GSA's School of Simulation and Visualisation explores digital display and loans of our Mackintosh furniture.

La famiglia

Paolo Sylos Labini è nato a Roma il 30 ottobre 1920. Il padre Michele, contraddistinto da grande spessore morale, era pugliese di Bitonto ed era stato segretario di prefettura in Puglia al tempo di Giolitti. Aveva poi dovuto lasciare questa carriera perché antifascista. La madre, Margherita Viggiani, di carattere colto e vivace e grande amante della musica, era sorella dell'intellettuale Giuseppe Viggiani. Inoltre, considerato l'interesse di Sylos Labini per la questione meridionale, è opportuno ricordare che Giustino Fortunato era fratello della nonna materna, Carolina Viggiani. Questo lo rendeva anche cugino primo da parte di madre, di Domenico Viggiani, Direttore Generale del Banco di Napoli.

Paolo Sylos Labini sposò Maria Rosaria Azzone, con cui ebbe due figli, Stefano, geologo e ricercatore presso l'ENEA, e Francesco.

Gli studi universitari

Dopo il liceo, il giovane Paolo avrebbe voluto iscriversi alla facoltà di ingegneria, ma, a causa dei limitati mezzi economici che lo obbligavano a lavorare mentre studiava, si iscrisse alla facoltà di giurisprudenza, pur non amando le materie giuridiche. Questi studi gli diedero però l'opportunità di avvicinarsi alla storia delle istituzioni e quindi di acquisire un'impostazione storica che avrebbe poi sempre seguito. Interessato principalmente alle materie scientifiche, si appassionò dell'economia, unica materia non giuridica della facoltà. All'università ebbe come insegnante di economia Guglielmo Masci, al quale decise di chiedere la tesi su "Gli effetti economici delle invenzioni sull'organizzazione industriale". Purtroppo Masci morì poco dopo e Sylos fu seguito durante la tesi da Giuseppe Ugo Papi, non entusiasta dell'argomento. Nel cercare la bibliografia per la tesi si rese conto con stupore del limitato interesse degli economisti per le innovazioni e da questo momento sentì l'esigenza di rivolgersi allo studio degli economisti classici, in particolare Adam Smith e poi David Ricardo e Karl Marx. In questi primi anni la sua guida fu Alberto Breglia (1900-1955), che insegnava economia politica a Roma dal 1942.

Dopo la laurea in Giurisprudenza conseguita nel luglio 1942 con 110 e lode, è stato nominato, su richiesta di Alberto Breglia, assistente volontario e poi assistente incaricato presso la cattedra di Economia politica della Facoltà di Economia e Commercio dell'Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza". Proprio con Alberto Breglia, Sylos collaborò alla stesura di due libri ricavati da due corsi di lezioni: L'economia dal punto di vista monetario e Reddito sociale . Quindi in questo primo periodo conviveva in lui l'interesse per l'analisi dell'innovazione con quello per i problemi monetari, che in seguito verrà in parte abbandonato. Il rapporto con Alberto Breglia lasciò a Sylos Labini la concezione dell'economia come mezzo per comprendere la storia, un'economia quindi da inserirsi in un ampio contesto culturale. Fu proprio Alberto Breglia che spinse Sylos a recarsi negli Stati Uniti per completare i suoi studi. Così Sylos Labini fu tra i primi giovani dal secondo dopoguerra che andarono a perfezionarsi all'estero, sia per approfondire in generale le sue conoscenze economiche, sia per capire meglio le peculiarità del caso italiano.

Il periodo negli Stati Uniti d'America
Nel 1948 vinse infatti una borsa di studio per gli Stati Uniti d'America. Dopo tre mesi trascorsi a Chicago, dove divenne amico di Franco Modigliani, andò ad Harvard all'inizio del 1949. Qui ebbe come supervisor Joseph Schumpeter, che si ricollegava alle teorie classiche con particolare attenzione per le innovazioni e i loro effetti sociali e inoltre considerava la storia come indispensabile maestra per gli economisti.

Il suo interesse era il rapporto tra innovazioni tecnologiche, economia e società e attribuiva un ruolo preminente all'imprenditore innovatore. Joseph Schumpeter sottolineava come l'innovazione non riguardasse solo i processi produttivi, ma anche l'organizzazione dell'attività economica e le forme istituzionali.

Dice in proposito Sylos Labini: "Io ho studiato ad Harvard con Joseph Schumpeter, nel 1949, l'anno prima della sua scomparsa ed ho subìto fortemente - spero per il bene - la sua influenza; quindi la mia visione delle innovazioni non è semplicemente economica, ma è anche sociale".

L'incontro con Salvemini e Rossi
Prima della partenza di Sylos per gli Stati Uniti, il padre aveva scritto una lettera a Gaetano Salvemini comunicandogli che il figlio sarebbe andato a trovarlo. Gaetano Salvemini era infatti uno dei punti di riferimento del padre che era antifascista. Nella lettera si sottolineava anche il legame della famiglia Sylos Labini con Giustino Fortunato, amico di Gaetano Salvemini. Anche per la sua grande disponibilità verso i giovani, Salvemini lo accolse con molta simpatia, tanto che, mentre era ricoverato in ospedale per un mese a causa della sua malattia ai reni, chiese a Sylos Labini di fargli da segretario. Così ogni giorno per un mese Sylos Labini andava a trovarlo e lo aiutava nella sua corrispondenza con numerosi personaggi come Sforza e Sturzo (che conoscerà a Roma dieci anni dopo). Una volta uscito dall'ospedale, Gaetano Salvemini decise di andare ad abitare nella stessa casa privata dove Sylos era a pensione. Così per sette mesi i due coabitarono approfondendo la loro amicizia, fino a quando, nell'estate del 1949 Gaetano Salvemini tornò a Firenze.

Gaetano Salvemini fu maestro e grande amico di Ernesto Rossi, Carlo Rosselli e Nello Rosselli, che dedicarono la loro vita ai suoi stessi ideali. A Rossi e ai due Rosselli, Paolo Sylos Labini è da considerarsi legato, attraverso Gaetano Salvemini.

In particolare, Ernesto Rossi e Sylos Labini si conobbero nel 1949 grazie a Salvemini a Roma in casa di Ernesto Rossi. La loro amicizia si consolidò però quando Sylos scrisse una nota molto critica delle teorie keynesiane che colpì Rossi, fortemente antikeynesiano.

L'influenza su Sylos del filone di pensiero che parte da Rosselli per poi incarnarsi dopo la guerra nel Partito d'Azione è evidente nella sua concezione dei rapporti tra sviluppo economico e sviluppo civile. Lui stesso ha affermato: "Debbo mettere bene in chiaro che io mi sono sempre richiamato alla tradizione del socialismo liberale". Secondo Sylos è necessario ricollegarsi al pensiero di Gaetano Salvemini, Ernesto Rossi e Rosselli, "alla loro lezione di concretezza, che si applica, in primo luogo, all'analisi spregiudicata e antiretorica della società e dell'attività politica". E ancora: "Dobbiamo tornare alle opere di Salvemini come a quelle di Ernesto Rossi e Carlo Rosselli non solo per la conoscenza critica di concezioni e di ideali del passato, ma anche per le lezioni di metodo che esse contengono. Occorre diffidare delle generalizzazioni. Le prediche non contano, conta la condotta. L'antiretorica e la concretezza critica cominciano con l'esempio".

Il Piano del lavoro
Nel 1949 Alberto Breglia presentò una relazione al piano del lavoro e, visto che era già malato, Sylos Labini lo aiutò. Il "Piano per la ricostruzione economica e sociale dell'Italia", chiamato più brevemente Piano del lavoro, era stato proposto da Giuseppe Di Vittorio, segretario generale della Cgil, a Genova nel 1949. L'anno dopo, a Roma, si definirono meglio i contenuti di questo piano che prevedeva massicci investimenti in opere pubbliche e infrastrutture (edilizia, strade e energia elettrica) per modernizzare il paese e per creare nuovi posti di lavoro. Il piano venne però accolto negativamente dalle organizzazioni degli imprenditori e dai partiti di governo, rimanendo così in gran parte inattuato. Vittorio Foa, sapendo che Sylos Labini aveva partecipato alla stesura della relazione di Alberto Breglia, lo invitò al banco della presidenza. Ciò colpì gli economisti di destra che erano in platea e rese più difficile la sua carriera universitaria, procurandogli l'ostilità di molti influenti professori universitari.

La carriera universitaria: dai primi incarichi ai lunghi anni di insegnamento alla Sapienza
Nel 1950, Paolo Sylos Labini, vinse una borsa di studio Stringher e trascorse un anno accademico all'università di Cambridge, dove venne ammesso al Trinity College come research student e dove ebbe come supervisor Dennis Robertson. Rientrando in Italia, ottenne l'abilitazione alla libera docenza in Economia Politica, partecipando alla sessione dell'anno 1953. La commissione, formata da Manlio Resta, Volrico Travaglini e Renato Galli, apprezzò in modo particolare il saggio presentato dal giovane Sylos "Qualche osservazione sul monopolio e sul monopsonio". Sylos si dedicò poi all'insegnamento universitario in varie sedi. Nel 1954 tenne alla Facoltà di Economia e Commercio dell'Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" un corso libero dal titolo Le forme di mercato, nel cui programma dava ampio spazio alla trattazione dell'oligopolio e al rapporto tra forme di mercato e sviluppo del reddito sociale.

L'anno successivo divenne assistente incaricato presso la cattedra di Economia Politica della Facoltà di Economia e Commercio dell'Università di Sassari, poi, dal primo febbraio 1958, in seguito a concorso, è nominato professore straordinario di Politica Economica e Finanziaria presso la Facoltà di Giurisprudenza e, nell'anno successivo, di Economia politica alla Facoltà di Economia e Commercio dell'Università di Catania. Dopo un anno all'Università di Bologna, Sylos Labini venne chiamato all'Università di Roma La Sapienza nell'ottobre 1962. Qui insegnò Istituzioni di Economia Politica presso la Facoltà di Scienze Statistiche, Demografiche e Attuariali fino al congedo nel 1995, quando lasciò l'insegnamento di ruolo (per poi venire nominato professore emerito nel 1997, vista la sua lunga docenza in quella sede). Nel 1965 ebbe anche l'incarico di insegnamento di Matematica Applicata all'Economia. Nel 1986 si è dedicato esclusivamente all'attività di ricerca scientifica presso l'Ufficio di Studi economici della Banca d'Italia.

Nell'ambiente ricco e stimolante della Facoltà romana di quei decenni, Sylos ha formato diversi allievi divenendone il maestro nel senso più pregnante del termine. Ha poi portato avanti la sua attività di ricerca sempre parallelamente all'impegno civile, che lo ha visto impegnato in prima persona nella stagione della programmazione. I suoi studi di economista hanno sempre affondato le loro radici nella concretezza; la concettualizzazione non ha mai preceduto l'analisi attenta dei dati statistici e ha sempre tenuto presente l'importanza della multidisciplinarità, di una conoscenza approfondita della storia, della società e dell'evoluzione tecnica.

Il viaggio nel Mezzogiorno del 1953 e la collaborazione con "Il Ponte" e con "Il Mondo"
Dall'inizio degli anni '50, grazie anche all'influenza di Gaetano Salvemini, si fece strada in Sylos l'interesse per la questione meridionale. Nell'autunno 1953, compì un viaggio nei piccoli centri rurali della Campania, delle Puglie (tra cui Gioia del Colle, paese della sua nonna paterna) e della Calabria. Il rapporto di questo suo viaggio venne pubblicato su Il Ponte di Piero Calamandrei in tre parti. Seguendo il metodo salveminiano, per ogni centro visitato, Sylos registrò lo stato dell'industria, del commercio e dell'agricoltura, ma anche il livello di istruzione, le condizioni abitative e igieniche e la struttura sociale. Sempre negli anni '50, ritornò più volte a scrivere su "Il Ponte" articoli relativi alla questione meridionale, approfondendo in particolare il tema della disoccupazione. Cominciò così una collaborazione sistematica con questa rivista alla quale Sylos ha sempre inviato la maggior parte dei suoi scritti di carattere non strettamente economico. Sempre sui temi della questione meridionale, Sylos Labini pubblicò in questo periodo anche alcuni articoli su Il Mondo di Pannunzio. Così, avendo saputo che a Benevento si effettuava il mercato dei "gualani", cioè dei bambini che venivano fatti lavorare per un anno come pastorelli in cambio di beni in natura dati ai genitori, denunciò dalle pagine della rivista questo stato di cose. L'interesse di Sylos Labini per il Mezzogiorno, che si colloca nell'ambito del tema centrale della sua riflessione, e cioè lo sviluppo, è stato sempre presente nel suo percorso intellettuale. Numerosi sono infatti i suoi interventi su questo tema, a partire dai primi anni '50, fino ad arrivare agli ultimissimi anni.

Si può qui ricordare che negli anni in cui insegnava a Catania (cioè tra il 1957 e il 1960), organizzò un gruppo di ricercatori (tra cui il sociologo Franco Leonardi) con cui svolse un'inchiesta sulla Sicilia, con indagini sul campo principalmente nella parte orientale dell'isola. Come ha ricordato Andrea Saba, Sylos a Catania invitò molti personaggi, da Antonio Giolitti a Franco Momigliano, da Valentino Parlato a Enzo Scotti, fino a John Kenneth Galbraith. I risultati di queste indagini vennero pubblicati da Feltrinelli nel volume Problemi dell'economia siciliana. Questa analisi considerava i rapporti tra città e campagna e anche le differenze profonde tra Sicilia orientale e occidentale. Da notare come questo lavoro sulla Sicilia, sia caratterizzato da un'approfondita analisi storica, demografica e sociale, in linea con quello che sarà sempre il suo metodo che vede l'economia come strettamente legata a queste altre discipline.

Oligopolio e progresso tecnico

All'inizio degli anni 1950, quando in Italia venne scoperto il petrolio, il governo ritenne necessaria una legge petrolifera e il presidente del consiglio Antonio Segni decise di modellare questa legge su quella degli Stati Uniti d'America. Nel 1955 Segni invitò Sylos Labini, allora trentaquattrenne, e il giurista Giuseppe Guarino ad andare negli Stati Uniti per studiare come funzionasse in pratica la legge statunitense. Lo studio delle grandi imprese con interessi internazionali fece emergere il contrasto tra il comportamento di queste e la concezione di concorrenza della teoria dominante. Fu questo uno degli incentivi che sono all'origine del libro Oligopolio e progresso tecnico pubblicato da Giuffrè nel 1956.
Oligopolio e progresso tecnico è il libro originale e importante che rese Paolo Sylos Labini famoso in Italia e all'estero. In quest'opera sosteneva che l'oligopolio può coesistere con le piccole imprese e analizzava i rapporti fra imprese oligopolistiche grandi e piccole e progresso tecnico. Se emergono tendenze al ristagno, queste potranno essere bloccate da una politica keynesiana di sostegno pubblico alla crescita della domanda. La teoria keynesiana non veniva però accolta acriticamente; Sylos metteva in evidenza i rischi che potevano derivare da un accrescimento della spesa pubblica improduttiva.

Il periodo della programmazione economica
Dal 1962 al 1964, Paolo Sylos Labini fu membro della Commissione nazionale per la programmazione economica e poi, dal 64 al 74, del Consiglio tecnico-scientifico del ministero del bilancio. Era stato chiamato a questo incarico da Ugo La Malfa, allora Ministro per il bilancio, e accettò nella speranza che fosse possibile un qualche rinnovamento. Quando Ernesto Rossi criticò la sua partecipazione alla Commissione, ritenendola uno strumento inutile, Sylos replicò affermando che l'obiettivo di fondo era di contribuire a spingere per la riforma della pubblica amministrazione nelle sue varie parti.

Con Giorgio Fuà presentò nel 1963 un rapporto in cui si trattava in via preliminare proprio questa questione : la programmazione, prima che una questione economica, era un problema istituzionale e da affrontare con l'aiuto di giuristi, studiosi delle discipline politiche e sociologiche. Nell'ambito della Commissione, Sylos Labini collaborò con Pasquale Saraceno, Siro Lombardini, Giorgio Fuà e Beniamino Andreatta. In quegli anni, non si stancò mai di invocare le riforme della pubblica amministrazione, ritenendo che senza una radicale trasformazione degli strumenti di intervento, la politica di programmazione fosse votata al fallimento.

Nel lungo periodo gli obiettivi che bisognava porsi nell'ambito della programmazione, erano lo sviluppo del Mezzogiorno, il superamento del dualismo tra agricoltura e industria, lo sviluppo di consumi e lo sviluppo dei servizi sociali, come la sanità, l'istruzione e la ricerca scientifica. Alla fine di questa esperienza però Sylos Labini si sentì a malincuore costretto a dare ragione a Ernesto Rossi: "Le riforme che auspicavamo sono state introdotte molto parzialmente. Riconosco che ho avuto torto, che ho peccato di ottimismo o, se si preferisce, di ingenuità". Già quindi deluso da questa esperienza, si dimise quando venne nominato come sottosegretario Salvo Lima, che era già stato raggiunto da quattro richieste di autorizzazione a procedere.

Intanto, dal 1974 in poi, dopo il primo shock petrolifero, la crescita economica cominciò a rallentare. Sul piano teorico il dibattito tra gli economisti negli anni sessanta si concentrò sull'opera di Piero Sraffa Produzione di merci a mezzo di merci. Il libro di Sraffa venne visto da Sylos Labini come una conferma alla validità delle sue radicali critiche dell'analisi marginalistica. Comunque la sua riflessione non rimase ancorata su quel dibattito teorico, ma continuò a considerare il problema dello sviluppo, prestando con il tempo sempre maggiore attenzione ai paesi arretrati.

Il modello econometrico dell'economia italiana
Nel periodo del Comitato tecnico scientifico, tra il 1966 e il 1967, lavorò al modello econometrico dell'economia italiana. A partire dal dopoguerra si riponevano nell'econometria molte speranze. Il modello di Sylos Labini è la prima sistematica ricerca econometrica sull'economia italiana. Il modello mirava a conciliare l'analisi teorica con i mutamenti storici ed è stato via via modificato con l'inserimento di nuove variabili.
Gli studi econometrici si intrecciarono con i problemi della politica economica, e, tra il 1965 e il 1975, Sylos Labini pubblicò una serie di lavori sui salari, la produttività e l'inflazione, poi rielaborati e raccolti in un libro.

L'esperienza dell'Università della Calabria
Nel 1971 Paolo Sylos Labini fu eletto presidente del Comitato ordinatore della Facoltà di scienze economiche dell'università della Calabria che era stata istituita con una legge del 1968. Lavorò quindi all'elaborazione dello statuto della nuova università che fu approvato nel dicembre. Quando il Comitato decise la localizzazione di un primo nucleo, il deputato Giacomo Mancini si oppose e la legittimità di questo progetto venne contestata in un'interrogazione al ministro della Pubblica Istruzione e in un minaccioso telegramma al ministero dei lavori pubblici. Attacchi di questo tipo, volti sostanzialmente a negare l'autonomia di decisione degli organi universitari, si susseguirono, colpendo direttamente anche Sylos Labini. Quando l'avvocato Luigi Gullo non venne prescelto nel 1972 per un incarico di insegnamento, fece un esposto al ministero della pubblica istruzione e promosse anche un'azione penale con un esposto alla Procura della Repubblica. Il Consiglio superiore diede però un parere contrario all'esposto amministrativo. Sul piano penale, i tre membri del Comitato, Paolo Sylos Labini, Adriano Vanzetti e Beniamino Andreatta, vennero rinviati a giudizio con diversi capi d'accusa. Dopo aver dovuto superare tutti questi ostacoli l'università venne avviata con la costruzione di un primo nucleo.

Gli studi sulla società

A partire dagli anni 1970 si fece strada in Sylos Labini l'interesse per i mutamenti nella struttura delle società. In realtà già nel 1952 aveva scritto un articolo, pubblicato diversi anni dopo, dal titolo Produttori di ricchezze e produttori di servizi: classe operaia e classe media in cui metteva in evidenza la sovrapposizione tra classi medie e settore terziario e sosteneva che un'espansione di questo settore avrebbe portato ad un allargamento delle classi medie.

Nel 1972 Sylos Labini ritornò su questi temi in una conferenza il cui testo, rielaborato, fu pubblicato da Laterza nel 1974, col titolo Saggio sulle classi sociali. Questa analisi era stata stimolata da diversi motivi, come quelli di spiegare il nuovo pericolo fascista che era presente nel 1972 e il ruolo delle classi medie e soprattutto di individuare le ragioni dell'esito deludente delle riforme che erano state tentate nel decennio precedente. I ceti medi avevano per Sylos Labini non solo connotazioni sociologiche, ma anche implicazioni rilevanti per la teoria economica. Cercò infatti di approfondire gli atteggiamenti politici e culturali di questi ceti, tanto che il suo saggio interessò non solo gli economisti, ma anche sociologi, filosofi e politici. Nel saggio del 1974 si esaminava la tesi del bipolarismo classista fondata sulla dicotomia profitti-salari, tesi attribuita a Marx, ma molto diffusa anche tra sociologi lontani da lui. Usando i censimenti e gli annuari statistici, si analizzava la struttura sociale italiana e la si confrontava con quella di altri paesi e si considerava l'evoluzione nel tempo delle diverse classi e categorie sociali.

La riflessione di Sylos Labini sulla società culmina poi nell'opera del 1986 Le classi sociali negli anni '80. Qui Sylos considerava non solo la società italiana, ma anche le società di diversi altri paesi, compresi quelli del Terzo Mondo e i paesi dell'area del socialismo reale. Il problema delle classi sociali veniva collegato al processo di democratizzazione che caratterizza lo svolgimento storico delle società occidentali. Questo processo non è certo lineare, in Italia in particolare incontra l'ostacolo del dualismo tra Nord e Sud. Il processo di democratizzazione è da intendersi come "ricerca crescente di libertà e di una tendenziale eguaglianza". Nel 2015 è stato ristampato il Saggio sulle classi sociali con due scritti di I. Cipolletta e I. Diamanti (Laterza, 2015)

Il problema dello sviluppo come punto centrale del pensiero di Sylos Labini
La riflessione di Sylos Labini si è costantemente concentrata su sviluppo e sottosviluppo, analizzati in rapporto all'evoluzione storica e incentrati sulle innovazioni. Del resto questo era anche il tema della sua tesi di laurea. Come abbiamo visto, Sylos dovette la sua fama in primo luogo alla monografia sull'oligopolio. Tuttavia già nella seconda parte di Oligopolio e progresso tecnico, aveva dimostrato che i suoi interessi erano molto più generali di quelli relativi alle forme di mercato e riguardavano anche il progresso tecnico, lo sviluppo e la distribuzione del reddito. L'obiettivo preminente è stato quello di scoprire e spiegare le forze che determinano lo sviluppo, come appare in modo particolarmente chiaro nel suo libro Progresso tecnico e sviluppo ciclico: "In fondo il titolo di questo libro, che si ricollega all'argomento della mia tesi di laurea, esprime il filo conduttore di tutto il mio itinerario intellettuale".

I suoi articoli e le sue opere sullo sviluppo sono molto numerosi. Nel 1983 ha voluto raccogliere una serie di saggi scritti negli anni precedenti sull'argomento nel libro Le forze dello sviluppo e del declino, che contiene alcune delle sue principali idee. Anche in seguito la sua riflessione su questi importanti problemi lo ha portato alla pubblicazione di articoli e libri, tra cui Sottosviluppo. Una strategia di riforme, uscito nel 2000, in cui avanza concrete proposte operative per il superamento del più grande problema del nostro tempo.

Il maestro
«Economists around the world, from Cambridge to Cambridge and Osaka to Omaha, admire you for a lifetime of Schumpeterian innovation, Keynesian brilliance, Ricardian rigor, and Smithian realism». Quando Paul Samuelson scrive questa frase, nel suo messaggio pubblicato in apertura della raccolta di saggi presentati a Paolo Sylos Labini il giorno del suo settantacinquesimo compleanno, intende sottolineare la stima di cui gode fuori del suo paese, tra i suoi colleghi accademici, l'economista italiano scomparso il 7 dicembre 2005. In Italia, Sylos Labini non è solo il maestro riconosciuto di successive generazioni di economisti; è anche una persona pubblica stimata per il rigore morale e la ben documentata concretezza dei suoi interventi nei dibattiti politici.

Lo scontro con Andreotti

Nel 1974 Paolo Sylos Labini si dimise "per motivi di coscienza" dal comitato tecnico-scientifico del ministero del bilancio, di cui faceva parte da circa dieci anni: ciò accadde in concomitanza con la nomina di Salvo Lima alla carica di sottosegretario presso tale dicastero (governo Moro IV), dal momento che Lima era comparso varie volte nelle relazioni della Commissione parlamentare antimafia. Al processo contro Giulio Andreotti, vari decenni dopo, Sylos Labini ricordò che era venuto a conoscenza dell'esistenza di varie richieste di autorizzazioni a procedere, nei confronti di Lima, e che ne fece oggetto di doglianze verso i vertici del Governo, ma che gli fu risposto che la posizione di Lima era inattaccabile perché difesa dal ministro di quel dicastero, Giulio Andreotti.

Prima delle dimissioni, Sylos Labini sollevò il problema con l'allora Presidente del Consiglio Aldo Moro, il quale affermò di non poter fare nulla in quanto "Lima è troppo forte e troppo pericoloso". Sylos Labini si rivolse allora direttamente ad Andreotti, affermando: "O lei revoca la nomina di Lima, che scredita l'immagine del ministero, o mi dimetto". Andreotti non lo lasciò nemmeno finire e lo liquidò rinviando il discorso.

Lo scontro con Mancini

Nonostante Sylos Labini fosse molto vicino al Partito socialista italiano e amico di politici quali Antonio Giolitti e Giorgio Ruffolo, entrò in forte tensione con l'esponente socialista Giacomo Mancini, ex-segretario del Partito, a causa di accuse relative al presunto coinvolgimento rispetto ad alcune tangenti, quando era Ministro dei Lavori Pubblici (Mancini fu comunque sempre assolto). Successivamente, prese sempre di più le distanze dal Partito socialista quando Bettino Craxi assunse la guida del partito, mantenuta fino all'esplosione delle inchieste giudiziarie di Tangentopoli.

Lo scontro con Berlusconi
La battaglia contro Berlusconi ed il suo governo è stata appassionatamente vissuta negli ultimi anni di vita. Un passo fondamentale è sicuramente rappresentato dal famoso Appello contro la Casa delle libertà firmato nel febbraio del 2001 insieme con Norberto Bobbio, Alessandro Galante Garrone, Alessandro Pizzorusso, che cominciava con queste parole:
Con Elio Veltri, Giulietto Chiesa, Achille Occhetto, Antonello Falomi e Diego Novelli ha fondato il Cantiere per il bene comune.

Le prospettive dell'economia mondiale
Nell'articolo Le prospettive dell'economia mondiale  pubblicato nel marzo del 2003 Paolo Sylos Labini scrive, diagnosticando l'esplosione della crisi economica avvenuta nel 2008

In una relazione sulle prospettive dell'economia mondiale, che presentai nell'aprile del 2002 a un convegno della Cgil e che poi fu pubblicata da Il Ponte (maggio 2002), esprimevo gravi preoccupazioni sulle prospettive dell'economia americana, che condiziona fortemente le economie degli altri paesi e, in particolare, quelle europee. La mia diagnosi fu giudicata da molti pessimista, ma i fatti, finora, mi hanno dato ragione. Oggi la mia diagnosi è ancora più pessimista, ma, giusta o sbagliata che sia, essa si fonda non su intuizioni o sul fiuto, bensì su un'analisi approfondita. In effetti, sin dal mio esordio come economista ho cercato di
analizzare lo sviluppo capitalistico che, come aveva sostenuto Marx e riproposto in forme originali Schumpeter, ha un andamento ciclico, ossia passa attraverso fasi di prosperità e di recessione o di depressione. Da almeno due anni avevo notato alcune rassomiglianze fra la situazione che si era determinata in America negli anni Venti del secolo scorso, un periodo che sboccò nella più grave depressione nella storia del capitalismo, e la situazione che si andava delineando oggi in America.

Le principali rassomiglianze consistevano nella rilevanza di certe innovazioni (elettricità e automobili negli anni Venti, elettronica, informatica e telecomunicazioni nel nostro tempo); nella formazione e nella diffusione di profitti alti e crescenti, dapprima nelle industrie nuove e poi via via nelle altre; nella speculazione di borsa, alimentata non solo dai profitti realizzati, ma anche dalle aspettative di profitti crescenti; nell'indebitamento a breve e a lungo termine legato alle occasioni, per le imprese, di investire in impianti e di acquisire nuove imprese e, per le famiglie, in beni durevoli di consumo, come gli immobili. Fenomeni simili potevano essere notati anche in Giappone, la cui economia, fino a pochi anni fa, era la più dinamica del mondo. Per interpretare il processo di sviluppo ciclico, tre fenomeni meritavano e meritano particolare attenzione, oltre le grandi innovazioni: la distribuzione del reddito, le forme di mercato e la sostenibilità dei debiti. Il motore dello sviluppo ciclico è costituito dalle innovazioni: più sono importanti, più sono diffuse le occasioni di investimento che offrono e più dura la fase di prosperità. Al tempo stesso, però, sono più vigorose le ondate speculative, più frequenti sono gli errori dei manager e più crescono i debiti, le cui dimensioni, cessata la prosperità, condizionano la durata della crisi.

Dominic Thiem pulls out of Wimbledon 2021, here's why
Dominic Thiem has pulled out of Wimbledon due to a right wrist injury that will keep him out of action for several weeks, the 27-year-old said on Thursday.
Last Updated: Jun 25, 2021, 12:59 AM IST|Source: Reuters
World number five Dominic Thiem has pulled out of Wimbledon due to a right wrist injury that will keep him out of action for several weeks, the 27-year-old said on Thursday. Thiem was forced to retire from his opening match at the Mallorca Open on Tuesday - the Austrian`s first grasscourt event since a first-round defeat at Wimbledon two years ago. He made a solid start against France`s Adrian Mannarino to take a 5-2 lead in the opening set but injured his wrist in the eighth game before retiring.
Thiem said on Instagram that tests found a "detachment of the posterior sheath of the ulnar side of the right wrist" an injury that will not allow him to compete on the circuit for several weeks.
He will wear a splint for five weeks before beginning his rehabilitation to regain mobility as well as muscle strength.
"I'm going to do everything the doctors say in order to recover as quickly as possible. They`ve informed me that I might be out for several weeks, but I will do my best to be back on court soon," Thiem said.

"I'm really sorry for pulling out of the upcoming three tournaments I had in my calendar: Wimbledon, Hamburg and Gstaad. They are very important tournaments for me."
"I appreciate all the support from the fans in these difficult moments - I`m determined to come back stronger."
A very unfortunate ending

Interview: The Harlequin Theatre's Shawn Kjos
February 22, 2019 Kurt Gardner	0 Comments concert, Deja Vu, disco, folk, Fort Sam Houston, Harlequin Theatre, music, revue, rock and roll, Shawn Kjos, singing
To celebrate a landmark — the 25th Harlequin production written and directed by Shawn Kjos — ArtScene SA decided to get him on the phone to talk about his upcoming show, Déjà Vu, as well as the business of managing a theater in San Antonio.
ArtScene SA: How long have you been with the Harlequin?
Shawn Kjos: I've been the manager of the Harlequin a little over five years now. I've actually been performing there for going on 12 years.
You've seen some evolution there at the theater.
Big time. When I started as a performer there, it was a dinner theater under different management. I was actually working at Fort Sam as a marketing manager when I transitioned [jobs] and took over the Harlequin. I love performing more than anything, but running a theater wasn't anything I'd planned. I was very practical — I had my degree in marketing — but it all just fell into place. One of those things that was just meant to be, you know?
Serendipity. What changes have you made since you've been manager there?
We've taken away the dinner theater aspect and transformed it into a regular theater. That way, we've been able to amp the entire experience up. We have all-new furniture, but we kept it cabaret-style, because I think it's neat. It provides a special atmosphere before the show, during the show and after. You'll see people at one table make friends with people at another table. It's just a cool environment and it works well with our shows, I think.
We have all-new lighting, which is fantastic, and we've got a new sound system. We've really been able to totally bring everything very current and state-of-the-art.
The cast of the Harlequin's most recent production, Murder on the Nile, camps it up on closing night.
Déjà Vu is the 25th show you've written for the Harlequin? 25 shows?
I know! It's crazy! I told Deborah Martin, "And then I drive off a cliff!"
Every one of my shows has been different. Every one is written based on the cast I have and customized for the performers. I think it makes for a great show. When you write for the talent you have, it only improves the production.
I've got lists of my performers. I'll be driving along and hear something on the radio and think, "that's a Katie song," or "that's a Nicole song," and I'll grab my phone really quick.
With Déjà Vu, I wanted to go back and celebrate my favorite moments; some award-winning moments. It was so hard to go through all of these shows and choose.
I've done such a variety. I did a show called London Calling, which was all British invasion-type things. I've done '50s shows and I've done '60s shows, '70s shows. I did a show called Iconic, which featured the big musicians of all time. When I started going through my library of all these shows, I thought the best way to share these moments was to build it chronologically.
If I had performers who won awards for their performance, I made sure to feature their moment in the show. I reached out to the cast who performed in past shows. So many of them don't live in San Antonio anymore, but I wanted everyone who'd been a part of the journey to be able to play a part in this show if they could. For the first time, I'm doing a "guest spot" for performers who can't commit to a full run or don't live here but want to come back for it. I'm super excited to be able to bring back as many people as I worked with. It's a real trip down memory lane for me. I'm so excited. It's the best of the best of these older shows.
Since the show covers many decades, how are you handling the costuming and staging?
What we're doing is a lot of platform isolation and the use of the lighting. We've got lighting that no other theater has, and I think we're able to do some amazing things. I like to use minimal sets and let the performers speak for themselves. And I like to do almost hyper versions of costuming. With Voices on Vinyl, for example, I took that Bohemian look and crystaled the heck out of it!
I think the coolest compliment after a show is when somebody comes up and says, "You took me back to my prom," or "I met my wife," or "I cheated on my wife!" You know? I think with this show, everyone will have one of those moments, because the music spans from the early '60s all the way through to today. We work in '60s Motown and '70s disco. This is the first time I've been able to incorporate two sides from each decade, which is fun.
It's a pretty large cast, and because of all the time spans, I've got over 130 costumes. So visually I think it's going to be a beautiful show.
I know! It sounded like a good idea on paper and then when I started putting it together, I thought, "What was I thinking?"
I'm sure you've got some of your old reliables in the cast.
Yes. With Vinyl, we had five singers, but this time we have eight, so I'm able to do the songs in a different way. And that's why I think the name Déjà Vu is kind of fun, because it's all stuff I've done that may be familiar, but it's not necessarily the same.
The cast of Voices on Vinyl.
Typically, how long is the rehearsal process?
Anywhere from six weeks to two months, just depending on the complexity of the show. In this show, I've got a group of four dancers and then a fifth featured. She's a ballerina; she's a beautiful dancer. They'll start rehearsing before I bring in the vocalists. Speaking of vocalists, a lot of the music in this show is difficult harmony-wise. Shirelles, for example, and some of that '70s folk stuff has some crazy harmonies.
I started putting this show together last August. As we're in rehearsal for this one, I've started my summer show. I have to go in and create all the tracks and do all the lyric breakdowns. There's a lot of front-end to do before I can even get to the cast.
What do you think of theater in San Antonio today?
I think it's extremely diverse, and I think that's a good thing. Every theater's got its own niche, and I think everyone does what they do really well. I try to get out and see as many shows as I can. I've worked all over the place, and I think San Antonio has some great, special talent.
It's exciting for people in town, too. There's a lot of options out there for them. I think the Harlequin is the only theater that does the musical revue stuff, and it's great. I always tell people, "Give us a shot," and they're like, "I don't like musicals," and I say, "This isn't a musical. It's a production!"
It's a concert!
Yeah. It's so hard to explain our shows to people. When you say musical, 90 per cent of the people think Oklahoma or My Fair Lady. When they come and see a show at the Harlequin, they go "Ohhh…" I worked on cruise ships for five and a half years, and I compare the shows at the Harlequin to what you'd see on a ship or in Las Vegas.
There'll be guys who are so excited after the show because when their wives bring them, they're mopey, but it's so cool to hear them afterwards say, "We liked it!" So I think our shows are for people who aren't necessarily theater people. But they're also good for theater lovers.
Déjà Vu plays at 8:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday from Mar. 8 through Apr. 13 at the Harlequin Theatre, 2652 Harney Path. For reservations, call the box office at (210) 222-9694.

A bad start to the day with the rain belting down. Not going out in that. But by lunch time the rain cleared and it was just a yukky sort of day. While I pulled away from the mooring Tim was left to get out of the mooring sandwich he now found himself in.
The owners of Barnaby, which is between the two wide beams, had gone into Doncaster and bought themselves a calendar. The nice touch is that they are in one of the pictures during a visit to the mooring last year.
It is not far back to Strawberry Island Boat Club.This is the site of the long disused Milethorne Lock. I have no idea where the lock led to.
On to Long Sandal Lock. I did have slight trouble with the gates. They wouldnt open so closed them and tried again several times till they behaved themselves.
I am not sure if the rest of the plane is buried here but in the garden of the lock cottage is the tail fin of a Lightening. Bit of a talking point when you have callers.
As I saw this one coming around the corner in the distance I thought it was another large commercial craft. I have seen her before and the Sobriety is based I think at Stainforth.
It is a lot darker in reality than it looks here. By the time we reached Barnby Dun Lift-bridge it was getting time to stop so after causing a huge traffic jam we moored for the night on the other side of the bridge.
On to the New Junction canal tomorrow.

Asian Games Are Not Zero-Sum
Apr 23, 2015 Jeffrey Frankel
However tempting it may be to focus on global economic rankings, they are the wrong way to think about today's major global governance issues. Unfortunately, that is now how current issues are being framed.
CAMBRIDGE – Two society hostesses are rivals. Both guard their social standing jealously – and may even punish a guest who attends the other's party by withholding future invitations.
China and the United States seem to regard Asia-Pacific relations similarly: as a zero-sum game. Are countries signing up for China's Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), or for America's Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)? Will China be welcomed, or humiliatingly rebuffed, in its effort to persuade the International Monetary Fund to include the renminbi in its unit of account, Special Drawing Rights (SDR)? Is the US still the world's largest economy, or did China surpass it in 2014?
However tempting it may be to focus on such questions, they are the wrong way to think about the global economy. There is no reason why some countries should not join both China's AIIB and America's TPP, or why overlapping memberships should not expand over time – or, indeed, why the hostesses should not eventually attend each other's parties.

Jeffrey Frankel, Professor of Capital Formation and Growth at Harvard University, previously served as a member of President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers. He is a research associate at the US National Bureau of Economic Research, where he is a member of the Business Cycle Dating Committee, the official US arbiter of recession and recovery.

Jeffery has an academic reputation which can hardly be challenged. What this piece reflects is the political log-jam in Congress on IMF reforms - GOP is not going to change status quo.
So what's the alternative? G20 was always an alternative; but because of domestic politics US has unwittingly allowed it to die a slow burn; meanwhile mainland China has taken the path of challenging Bretton Woods setup by US. US is now fighting AIIW and demanding Japan not to join. China has invited Abe to join - which he finally might.
Failure of strengthening G20 governance and promised IMF reforms have become hostage to domestic politics.
WTO is also withering principally because globalization was not properly considered - it was pushed by Clinton Treasury - during Gatt/Uruguay Round of Trade Negotiations.

To Amy Studdart:
To be honest, I trust the IMF more than I trust the Congress. Maybe that's just me.
Amy Studdart May 1, 2015
I do too, but while I agree that IMF reform needs to get passed, I would add that the administration (and the IMF) needs to do more to persuade Congress that while their concerns are valid, voting the reforms through is the best option for now. The line I take issue with is where you reduce the concerns on the hill to being simply about not wanting to work with the president. That might be true in a lot of policy areas, this isn't one of them. At the moment, the problem is that there are a bunch of legitimate concerns and questions that aren't being addressed, in part because the administration hasn't prioritized IMF reform and isn't investing the time or the political capital in that discussion/could-be fight.
Amy Studdart Apr 26, 2015
why not just go with "host"?
Amy Studdart:
Why didn't I just say "host" instead of "hostess," you mean? I considered it. But I had in mind various books and plays about late-19th-century high-society life, and "host" did not seem to carry the right connotations as well as "hostess." I am sorry if the language sounds sexist.
This is only half true. While I'm a big supporter of both this president and IMF reform, Congress has big questions about both the IMF and the reform package, with many thinking it doesn't go far enough. The two big problems are 1) the package isn't actually cost neutral, and 2) the package will cede Congress's oversight of how US taxpayer money is spent within the IMF, and Congress has serious questions about whether the IMF can be trusted. What is needed is an open and honest conversation that says the IMF is an imperfect beast, but its the only beast we have, and if we're to keep US leadership in the global economic order, this has to be step 1.
j. von Hettlingen Apr 23, 2015
Does Jeffrey Frankel see the hegemonial struggle between China and the US, vying for influence by means of their pet projects - China's Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), or for America's Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) - as "Asian games"? If they were "games", they would also be zero-sum games, because it's all bout winning and taking home the trophy!
What the two countries need to do is some serious horse-trading. In this respect, the Chinese may be more adept than their counterparts, who still dwell in a fantasy world of cowboys and Indians! Our planet has over 7 billion inhabitants. The US is increasingly unable - financially and politically - to lead and police the entire universe. There's a trend of the Americans turning inward, who believe their country should focus on its domestic issues, taking care of its own people and renewing the infrastructure.
What agonises China is that the monetary policies of two of the US-led supranational institutions - the World Bank and the IMF - are - much like the US Congress - are obsolete, without taking the reality into account. Instead of being an incompetent sheriff, because he has to grapple with a myriad of tasks, he should empower the local police and delegate some of his responsibilities to these officers.
Asia is a huge continent. Despite of its pivot to this part of the world, the US would hardly regain its supremacy that it enjoyed in the 1960s and 1970s. With India and and Japan, Washington's allies in the region as potential counterweights to Beijing, China's expansion may be limited. Yet the US sees China's growing influence in Asia as a threat to regional stability, not least because of the territorial disputes that emboril in the East and South China Seas. It's still not clear, whether China would try to claim the disputed territories. China wouldn't want to be compared to a revisionist Russia. Meanwhile Asia has an enormous appetite for infrastructural construction. The existing institutions are unable to meet the real needs across the continent. Perhaps the IMF and the World Bank should work together with AIIB and let it carry part of their burden.

The Professor deserves full marks for articulating the tone that ought to reflect the win-win attitude protagonists must bring to the Top Table. The World Economic Olympics should be no different from the Sports version - if humanity is to find a peaceful path towards world governance. The daring of DeGaulle in demolishing the Dollar Standard of 1945 -1970, led to the creation of The Euro as the alternative World Currency. Not very different when the Dollar itself had dethroned Sterling. The advent of the Renminbi has many examples to learn from. As should the advent of the Rouble and the Rupee one day. But kudos to the Professor for hitting the nail on the head - the score keeping must not be jingoism unlimited.
Petey Bee Apr 23, 2015
Great sticky, although the TPP is somewhat special in that it imposes a complicated and risky set of obligations on signatory governments, which will empower large foreign businesses.
It's not clear why either US or Chinese or Japanese businesses would want to increase the regulatory risk they face by disempowering their home governments that they have a good working relationship with.

2nd journalist slain in Brazilian city in less than a month
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Police say a reporter has been slain in a coastal city east of Rio de Janeiro, the second journalist killed there in less than a month.
Rio's Civil Police department said Wednesday that it is investigating who killed 31-year-old Romario da Silva Barros and for what motive.
Barros worked for the Lei Seca Marica website that covers general news in the city of Marica. He was found shot to death in his car on Tuesday.
The owner of a local newspaper in the city was killed on May 25 and the deaths have been condemned by the international Committee for the Protection of Journalists and the local journalists' union. The committee said Romario sometimes wrote about official corruption.
So-called "militias" that carry out extortion and killings operate in the area.


The nearest international airport is in Christchurch which is a one hour flight or a 6 hour drive to Queenstown. If driving, take Hwy 1 to Timaru and turn right onto Hwy 8 to Cromwell then right to Queenstown.Follow the main road into Queenstown( Frankton Road ) and then drive straight past the Copthorne Hotel. You will find the resort a short distance along Frankton Road on the right. The resort is easy walking distance from the town centre.


It is a pleasure to share with you this opportunity to participate with Werner Erhard and Dr. Joseph DiMaggio in a new three-day developmental event, Being a Master of Life: What It Takes.
This developmental event is about what lies beyond being smart, effective, successful, and admired – beyond the limits of what it currently means to be a human being. It is about what is there for us human beings beyond the possibilities we may already be at work on realizing. We are talking about being a master of life.
There are certain people who seem to be extraordinarily effective in dealing with life and at the same time enjoy an exceptionally high quality of life. Most of us believe that there is something extra special about such people – that is, there is something extra special about people who seem to have mastered life. However, while innately ordinary, masters of life do see life and make sense of life differently than most of us do. And it is this unique way that they see (perceive) life and make sense of (comprehend) life that leaves them interacting with life as a master – that is, naturally being extraordinarily effective while enjoying an exceptionally high quality of life.
Being a Master of Life: What It Takes will open up and make available for you the way masters of life see life and make sense of life, providing you access to being a master of life as your natural self-expression.
These three days will be led by Werner and Joe – from time to time individually, and from time to time as partners. There is limited capacity in the venue, so if you are interested please act quickly. We look forward to participating with you in this special developmental event.
Werner Erhard is an original thinker whose ideas have transformed the effectiveness of and quality of life for millions of people and thousands of organizations around the world. For more than 40 years he has been the creator of innovative ideas and models of individual, organizational, and social transformation. He created the breakthrough ideas and methodology on which The Landmark Forum and all of Landmark's programs are based. Since 2002 Mr. Erhard has devoted his time and energies to academia. He has lectured at top universities around the world, including Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, Yale, and Oxford.
Joseph DiMaggio, M.D. , previously served as a senior research scientist in a multidisciplinary medical group at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. A graduate of Yale University and the University of Connecticut School Of Medicine, Dr. DiMaggio has been a Landmark Forum Leader for more than 20 years. As the executive accountable for Research, Design, and Development for Landmark, he is responsible for the design and material that make up all of Landmark's programs.

Die Ingenieurschule für Maschinenwesen war eine 1892 gegründete technische Bildungseinrichtung (Fachschule) in Darmstadt.

Geschichte
Im Jahr 1892 wurde eine erweiterte Handwerkerschule gegründet. Träger war der Gewerbeverein Darmstadt. 1898 wurde die Handwerkerschule in eine Städtische Gewerbeschule umgewandelt. Die Gewerbeschule hatte unter anderem auch eine Abteilung für Maschinenbau.

Die Maschinenbauabteilung wurde im Jahr 1919 als Städtische Maschinenbauschule – nach dem Vorbild der preußischen Maschinenbauschulen – ausgegliedert. Im Jahr 1925 wurde die Städtische Maschinenbauschule zur Höheren Maschinenbauschule ausgebaut und verselbstständigt. Gleichzeitig wurde die Ausbildung der Maschinenbauer von vier auf fünf Semester verlängert.

Im Mai 1934 wurde die Maschinenbauschule in Höhere Technische Lehranstalt für Maschinenwesen umbenannt und es wurde auch eine Studienaufnahme im Sommersemester möglich. Im Jahr 1939 wurde die Schule in Städtische Ingenieurschule Darmstadt umbenannt. Die Ingenieurschule war seit dem Jahr 1923 im Gebäude der ehemaligen Bank für Handel und Industrie untergebracht.

Im Jahr 1943 wurde die Schule geschlossen. Bei einem Luftangriff im Jahr 1944 wurde das Gebäude der Ingenieurschule schwer beschädigt. Nach der Teilzerstörung des Schulgebäudes wurden die Studierenden in sehr beengten Verhältnissen, verteilt auf mehrere Standorte in Darmstadt, untergebracht.

Nach dem Kriegsende wurde die Ingenieurschule wiederaufgebaut und um eine Elektrotechnikabteilung erweitert. Im April 1948 wurden die ersten Elektroingenieure graduiert. Im Juli 1951 wurde eine Lehrwerkstatt für die Verarbeitung thermoplastischer Kunststoffe eröffnet.

1955 wurde das Studium von fünf auf sechs Semester verlängert. Gleichzeitig wurde das Lehrangebot um die Fachgebiete Elektrische Energietechnik und Nachrichtentechnik erweitert. 1958 wurde die Ingenieurschule in staatliche Trägerschaft übernommen. Im Jahr 1959 wurde die Fachabteilung für Kunststofftechnik gegründet. Anfang der 1960er Jahre wurde das Lehrangebot um das Fachgebiet Automatisierungstechnik erweitert.

Im Jahr 1965 wurde die Ingenieurschule in das neugebaute Hochhaus an der Schöfferstraße umgesiedelt.
Dieses Hochhaus ist bis heute das höchste Gebäude in Darmstadt. Ab 1966 konnte man an der Ingenieurschule den Ingenieurgrad für Kunststofftechnik erlangen.

Im August 1971 ging die Ingenieurschule in den Fachbereichen Elektrotechnik, Maschinenbau und Kunststofftechnik der Fachhochschule Darmstadt auf.

The Sosaley Flow Meter
The Sosaley Flow Meter measures the flow of liquid and gases in an industrial environment. It uses a pressure sensor to gather data on the flow, and then displays the results. It also acts as a data logger to analyze the flow data.

The Sosaley Flow meterSosaley2019-09-26T05:17:10+00:00
Measuring the flow of liquid or gas has been a part of our lives, but we never pay too much attention to it. For example, your gas company measures the flow of gas into your kitchen and sends you a bill for it. Similarly your water company measures how much water is flowing into your home and charges you for it. Your car has a flow meter that measures the quantum of petrol or gasoline being burnt by your car. There are many more such examples of flow measurements in our lives.
Unlike solids that have a single unit of measurement – weight – liquids and gas have two units – volume and mass. Either of these can be used to measure the quantum of the material.
In fluid dynamics and hydrometry, volumetric flow is also known as volume flow rate, rate of fluid flow, or, volume velocity. It measures the volume of fluid that passes per unit time. It's units of measurement can be cubic meters per second, cubic meters per minute, cubic feet per second, or gallons per minute. If the mass flow rate is a known factor, volumetric flow can be calculated using mass flow rate and density. If not, it is calculated using flow velocity and cross sectional vector area or surface.
In physics and engineering, mass flow rate measures the mass of a substance that passes per unit of time. In general the unit is kilogram per second. It is also referred to as slug per second or pounds per second. Mass flow rate is calculated using volume flow rate, mass density of the material, flow velocity, cross sectional vector area, and mass flux.
A flow meter is utilized to measure flow rate which refers to the amount of liquid or gas that moves through a pipe. The applications of flow measurement are diverse and each industry has its own requirements and constraints. Depending on the industry where a flow meter is used, it may be referred to as flow indicator, flow gauge, liquid meter, etc. However, their function is the same – to measure the rate of flow. The right choice of a device for flow measurement depends on many factors including measurement accuracy and thermodynamic conditions.
Flow meters (that measure liquid, gas and steam) are very important in the process industry as they are used to determine the quantum of products transacted.
Flow Measurement is the process of measuring fluid flow in your plant. You can measure flow through a variety of different devices such as Coriolis, differential pressure, vortex, magnetic, ultrasonic, turbine and positive displacement meters.
Semiconductor Fab Industry
Engineers rely on flow meters to meet manufacturing requirements and reduce operating expenses. In the semiconductor laboratory, flow meters are used to measure gasses and liquids to run experiments and calibrate or monitor laboratory equipment. Flow meters are also used in the semiconductor industry to monitor the cooling process that is critical for that industry.
In the automotive industry, flow meters are utilized to determine the flow rate of a variety of fluids such as engine coolant, engine oil, wiper fluid and automatic transmission fluid. Automotive flow meters also monitor and control consumption and inventory of other kinds of fluid that are used such as wiper fluid, brake fluid, and anti-freeze applications.
The Flow Meter from Sosaley Technologies is a digital device that measures the flow of steam, air, and hot water. The Sosaley Flow Meter can be connected to differential pressure transmitters, pressure transmitters, or other devices that sense the flow and can convert the flow measurement to an electrical signal.
The Sosaley Flow Meter operates in the range of 4-20mA. Once the flow material and other parameters are defined, the Sosaley Flow Meter reads the input signal and tells you how much flow is happening and under what pressure.
The Sosaley Flow Meters comes with data storage and communication facilities. All the flow quantum and pressure can be logged for analysis at a later time.
The Sosaley Flow Meter has been tested extensively and proven to deliver accurate results. It also comes in a ruggedized cabinet enabling it to be used in a rough industrial environment.
The Sosaley Flow Meter comes with simple buttons that are used to set the parameters. The Flow Meter takes you through a sequence of parameters that it needs, shows you the options available, and accepts your choice to set the parameter. Once this is complete, the Flow Meter starts logging data from the pressure transmitter.
The inputs signals from the pressure transmitter can also be calibrated through the same 4 keys.
Main Tasks To measure hot water, air, and steam flow
Input Electrical signals between 4 to 20mA that will be used to measure (1) flow, (2) pressure, and (3) temperature

Q: SQL Server : join on uniqueidentifier I have two tables Backup and Requests.
Below is the script for both the tables
Backup
CREATE TABLE UserBackup(
           FileName varchar(70) NOT NULL,
        )

File name is represented by a guid. Sometimes there is some additional information related to the file. Hence we have entries like guid_ADD entried in table.
Requests
CREATE TABLE Requests(
           RequestId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
           Status int Not null
        )

Here are some sample rows :
UserBackup table:
FileName
15b993cc-e8be-405d-bb9f-0c58b66dcdfe
4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8
4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8_Add
7ad22838-ddee-4043-8d1f-6656d2953545

Requests table:
RequestId                              Status
15b993cc-e8be-405d-bb9f-0c58b66dcdfe    1
4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8    1
7ad22838-ddee-4043-8d1f-6656d2953545    2

What I need is to return all the rows from userbackup table whose name (the guid) is matches RequestId in the Requests table and the status is 1. So here is the query I wrote
Select *
from UserBackup
inner join Requests on UserBackup.FileName = Requests.RequestId
where Requests.Status = 1

And this works fine. It returns me the following result
FileName                                      RequestId                              Status
15b993cc-e8be-405d-bb9f-0c58b66dcdfe          15b993cc-e8be-405d-bb9f-0c58b66dcdfe     1
4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8          4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8     1
4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8_Add      4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8     1

This is exactly what I want. But what I don't understand is how it is working. If you notice the result is returning 4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8_Add row as well. The inner join is on varchar and uniqueidentifier, and this join instead of working like "Equals to" comparison works like "contains" comparison. I want to know how this works so that I can be sure to use this code without any unexpected scenarios.

A: The values on both sides of a comparison have to be of the same data type. There's no such thing as, say, comparing a uniqueidentifier and a varchar.
uniqueidentifier has a higher precedence than varchar so the varchars will be converted to uniqueidentifiers before the comparison occurs.
Unfortunately, you get no error or warning if the string contains more characters than are needed:
select CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8_Add')

Result:
4CFFE724-3F68-4710-B785-30AFDE5D52F8

If you want to force the comparison to occur between strings, you'll have to perform an explicit conversion:
Select *
from UserBackup
inner join Requests
on UserBackup.FileName = CONVERT(varchar(70),Requests.RequestId)
where Requests.Status = 1

A: When you compare two columns of different data types SQL Server will attempt to do implicit conversion on lower precedence.
The following comes from MSDN docs on  uniqueidentifier

The following example demonstrates the truncation of data when the
  value is too long for the data type being converted to. Because the
  uniqueidentifier type is limited to 36 characters, the characters that
  exceed that length are truncated.

DECLARE @ID nvarchar(max) = N'0E984725-C51C-4BF4-9960-E1C80E27ABA0wrong';
SELECT @ID, CONVERT(uniqueidentifier, @ID) AS TruncatedValue;

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187942.aspx
Documentation is clear that data is truncated
When ever you are unsure about your join operation you can verify Actual Execution Plan.
Here is test sample that you can run inside SSMS or SQL Sentry Plan Explorer
DECLARE @userbackup TABLE ( _FILENAME VARCHAR(70) )

INSERT INTO @userbackup
    VALUES  ( '15b993cc-e8be-405d-bb9f-0c58b66dcdfe' ),
            ( '4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8' ),
            ( '4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8_Add' )
,           ( '7ad22838-ddee-4043-8d1f-6656d2953545' )

DECLARE @Requests TABLE
    (
     requestID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
    ,_Status INT
    )
INSERT INTO @Requests
    VALUES  ( '15b993cc-e8be-405d-bb9f-0c58b66dcdfe', 1 )
,           ( '4cffe724-3f68-4710-b785-30afde5d52f8', 1 )
,           ( '7ad22838-ddee-4043-8d1f-6656d2953545', 2 )

SELECT *
    FROM @userbackup u
    JOIN @Requests r
        ON u.[_FILENAME] = r.requestID
    WHERE r.[_Status] = 1

Instead of regular join operation SQL Server is doing HASH MATCH with EXPR 1006 in SSMS it is hard to see what is doing but if you open XML file you will find this
<ColumnReference Column="Expr1006" />
<ScalarOperator ScalarString="CONVERT_IMPLICIT(uniqueidentifier,@userbackup.[_FILENAME] as [u].[_FILENAME],0)">

When ever in doubt check execution plan and always make sure to match data types when comparing.
This is great blog Data Mismatch on WHERE Clause might Cause Serious Performance Problems from Microsoft engineer on exact problem.

A: What is happening here is the FileName is being converted from varchar to a UniqueIdentifier, and during that process it ignores anything after the first 36 characters.
You can see it in action here
Select convert(uniqueidentifier, UserBackup.FileName), FileName

NEWCASTLE COMMUNITY GROUPS ENCOURAGED TO PITCH FOR SHARE OF $150,000 GRANTS POOL
Posted by Rebecca Willetts 47pc on August 13, 2018
Sharon Claydon MP has encouraged Newcastle community groups to consider putting in an Expression of Interest for a chance of securing up to $20,000 in funding for small capital projects.
Ms Claydon said there is a total funding pool of up to $150,000 in the 2018 Newcastle Stronger Communities Grants program to support projects which improve local community participation.
"Grants of between $2,500 and $20,000 will be available for projects with matched contributions, in-cash or in-kind, on at least a dollar-for-dollar basis," Ms Claydon said.
"It can be difficult for community-based not-for-profit organisations to raise funds for upgrades. These grants are a great way to get small projects that will contribute to the strength and vibrancy of our community.
"Whether it's an upgrade to current facilities, new seating or equipment at a sports ground, improvements for disability access or a fit-out of a community centre, there's a wide range of projects that could be eligible under this program. I encourage all eligible groups to lodge applications for projects that will help build a strong and healthy community."
Local community-based not-for-profit organisations and local governing bodies are eligible to apply for funding.
In the 2017 round:
Oz Harvest Newcastle received $4,301 to upgrade its food van.
Nova for Women and Children received $20,000 for a children's playground and kitchen upgrade at an emergency shelter for women and children fleeing family violence.
Bluegum Hills Men's Shed received $19,000 to erect sheds, lay asphalt and install a rainwater tank.
Newcastle Art Space at Tighes Hill received $13,376 to upgrade facilities.
ConnectAbility Australia received $5,000 for a new community garden in Hamilton.
Newcastle Youth Orchestra received $6,800 to purchase new musical instruments.
Stockton Bowling Club received $3,000 to provide shade at community events.
Expressions of Interest close on 7 September. Applications will be assessed by a committee of Novocastrians with strong connections to the community.

Fans are convinced that Tamzin Outhwaite is related to this EastEnders co-star after new discovery
Do you think the pair look alike?
November 08, 2018 - 12:18 GMT Hanna Fillingham EastEnders fans were quick to point out how much Tamzin Outhwaite, who plays Mel Owen in the BBC One soap, looks like her co-star Tilly Keeper, after seeing throwback photo of actress
EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite got fans talking on social media this week after she uploaded a throwback photo of herself from a magazine shoot, which caused many people to double take due to its likeness to one of her co-stars. With the same blonde hair and almond shaped eyes, many were quick to compare her to Tilly Keeper, who plays Louise Mitchell in the BBC One soap. "You sure you and @tillykeeper aren't sisters?" one follower wrote in the comments section, while another said: "Omg I thought that was Tilly Keeper you look so like her!" A third added: "You look stunning then, and still do today."
Fans thought EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite looked a lot like her co-star Tilly Keeper
Tamzin reprised her role in EastEnders in January after a 15-year hiatus, and she's very much enjoying being back in the show and working with her former co-stars, and new onscreen son, actor Charlie Winter. The mother-of-two revealed that it was her daughter Florence, ten, who had ultimately persuaded her to go back to the soap. Talking to HELLO! and other publications at a press day ahead of her return, Tamzin said she had asked her eldest: "They have asked me to go back to EastEnders — what do you think?' She said, 'Can you come home every night?' and I said, 'Yes', so she went, 'Well do it.'"

Prior to EastEnders, Tamzin had been working in theatre, but admitted that since having children her work priorities had changed. Talking to the Mirror, the soap star said: "I spent a year on Sweet Charity the musical, but Flo was teething. She would be up every night and I was doing eight shows a week. I thought, maybe I can't do this anymore. The last few years have been short of jobs, and a lot more free time. The slowing down has been quite gradual. My priorities have changed. Now I'm OK saying 'No'. If I audition for things and don't get them, there's two beautiful faces looking at me and I'm home."

The documentary film #MYESCAPE assesses the journey that refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Eritrea chose to undergo, as circumstances in their home-countries have become increasingly unliveable. Hundreds of thousands are leaving their home countries, families and old lives behind, in search of some basic safety and freedom. In some cases, the mobile phone fulfilled the role of a constant companion and became a quintessential tool to facilitate the organisation of ones escape. This has lead many to document their experiences.
