    The original purpose of the Select Committee's investigation was to determine how four Americans died and what measures could be taken to prevent it from happening again. More specifically: How the United States of America, the most powerful nation in the world: 1. Failed to provide adequate security for more than 30 Americans put in harm's way in one of the most dangerous places on earth 2. Failed to send or assist in any defense or rescue effort after they came under attack 3. Failed to provide an evacuation plan should they survive an ongoing attack from more than 100 terrorists with very bad intentions who were armed with automatic weapons, RPGs, and mortars. In my humble opinion, I find it difficult to understand how detractors of the investigation or any fair-minded person for that matter could say this investigation was not warranted, or even that it was a total waste of time. Unfortunately, partisan politics entered the picture. The Obama administration was facing re-election, and the Democratic Party wanted to prevent any bad news from hampering their chances to gain power in the House and Senate. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knew that her department failed to adequately protect the diplomatic compound and the ambassador, even though countless requests for more security were denied. Of course she also did not want to ruin her potential bid to run for president in 2016 by showcasing her incompetence. On the other hand, fair-minded observers cannot overlook the fact that the Republican led Congress wanted to seize this opportunity to damage the Democratic party to not only gain control of the White House, but maintain control over the House and Senate as well. Of course, I would be remiss in not acknowledging that the Republicans were going to take advantage of this situation as much as possible. That doesn't negate the fact that it was also the right thing to do. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leonard Bustos.

    Sometimes, we spend so much time focusing on the one thing that went wrong, we lose sight of the 99 other times things went right. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that in order to achieve contentment, one should "cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously." Researchers have found that the act of counting one's blessings actually helps strengthen relationships, in all forms. In The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S., the undervalued concept of gratitude is the critical theme which defines the groundbreaking sophomore narrative by Carlos Wallace, author of the best seller Life Is Not Complicated, You Are. This may all be an enigmatic concept for some to grasp: the realization that although you have hit some rough patches the experiences should never negate moments that a kind word, a caring act, an instance of forgiveness or the rewarding feeling of knowing you worked hard to achieve a goal brought you satisfaction and made you happy. This book will teach you to appreciate the good in your life and encourage you to maintain a positive attitude despite the negativity that surrounds you. To appreciate circumstances that help you evolve not because you are impervious to pain and disappointment, but because you are accepting of joy. Most importantly, The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S. will help listeners summon up the courage to approach life with an open mind, eyes wide open. You will no longer turn a blind eye to your struggles, hoping they will fade away if they are ignored. Ignorance is a progressive thinker's enemy; acceptance, awareness, accountability, and action are the tools of the informed - of people who want change and do all they can to achieve it. The book, much like Life Is Not Complicated, You Are is an odyssey into recesses of your psyche that you may not have fully tapped into. At the end of the journey, prepare to view life through a completely different lens. Prepare ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Liz Faublas.

    This is a special edition of the first three novels in the Codename: Chandler series. Flee: Chandler isn’t a person; it’s the codename for a woman who was shaped from a raw military recruit into a living weapon. She’s an assassin without remorse or fear, doing the bidding of an agency so secret that only three people know of its existence. But when her cover gets blown, she becomes the target of a wide-reaching conspiracy led by a mysterious figure whose connection to Chandler goes far beyond what she could have imagined. Now she faces an explosive twenty-four hours—a single day in which everyone she encounters seems hell-bent on ending her life. With any past ally suddenly a possible traitor and every present emotion a weakness for her enemies to exploit, Chandler must tap into her deepest reservoirs of strength and skill in order to survive. But her survival is just the beginning as she confronts a murderous lunatic with a personal agenda, a squad of assassins just as skilled as she is, and a diabolical plot to unleash nuclear holocaust across the globe. Spree: Super spy and assassin Chandler has just barely averted nuclear annihilation when the very organization she works for has her brought in on treason charges, trussed up for interrogation. After a run-in with Chicago Homicide cop Jack Daniels, Chandler discovers one of her sisters, Fleming, has been transferred to a black ops site where the modus operandi is torture and death. Chandler launches a breakneck mission to infiltrate an impossibly secure prison—putting her on a collision course with a squad of violent psychopaths trained to negate her precise skill set. As old enemies reemerge and new ones appear around every corner, Chandler will rely on the help of unexpected allies, including an ex-mob enforcer named Tequila and a firefighter named Lund. But even they may not be enough to stop what lurks within the unlisted military base: A rogue governm ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela Dawe.

    Praise for the author's A Brief Guide to the Greek Myths: 'Eminently sane, highly informative'PAUL CARTLEDGE, BBC History magazineIn 2022 it will be 2,500 years since the final defeat of the invasion of Greece by the Persian King Xerxes. This astonishing clash between East and West still has resonances in modern history, and has left us with tales of heroic resistance in the face of seemingly hopeless odds. Kershaw makes use of recent archaeological and geological discoveries in this thrilling and timely retelling of the story, originally told by Herodotus, the Father of History.The protagonists are, in Europe, the Greeks, led on land by militaristic, oligarchic Sparta, and on sea by the newly democratic Athens; in Asia, the mighty Persian Empire - powerful, rich, cultured, ethnically diverse, ruled by mighty kings, and encompassing modern Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Egypt.When the rich, sophisticated, Greek communities of Ionia on the western coast of modern Turkey, rebel from their Persian overlord Darius I, Athens sends ships to help them. Darius crushes the Greeks in a huge sea battle near Miletus, and then invades Greece. Standing alone against the powerful Persian army, the soldiers of Athens' newly democratic state - a system which they have invented - unexpectedly repel Darius's forces at Marathon. After their victory, the Athenians strike a rich vein of silver in their state-owned mining district, and decide to spend the windfall on building a fleet of state-of-the-art warships. Persia wants revenge. The next king, Xerxes, assembles a vast multinational force, constructs a bridge of boats across the Hellespont, digs a canal through the Mount Athos peninsula, and bears down on Greece. Trusting in their 'wooden walls', the Athenians station their ships at Artemisium, where they and the weather prevent the Persians landing forces in the rear of the land forces under the Spartan King Leonidas at the nearby pass of Thermopylae. Xerxes's assault is a disastrous failure, until a traitor shows him a mountain track that leads behind the Greeks. Leonidas dismisses the Greek troops, but remains in the pass with his 300 Spartan warriors where they are overwhelmed in an heroic last stand. Athens is sacked by the Persians. Democracy is hanging by a thread. But the Athenians convince the Greek allies to fight on in the narrow waters by the island of Salamis (underwater archaeology has revealed the Greek base), where they can exploit local weather conditions to negate their numerical disadvantage. Despite the heroism of the Persian female commander Artemisia, the Persian fleet is destroyed.Xerxes returns to Asia Minor, but still leaves some forces in Greece. In 479 BCE, the Spartans lead a combined Greek army out against the Persians. In a close-run battle near the town of Plataea, the discipline, fighting ability and weaponry of the Greeks prevail. The Persian threat to the Greek mainland is over.Athens forms a successful anti-Persian coalition to drive the Persians from Greek territory, seek reparations, and create security in the future. But this 'alliance' is gradually converted into an Athenian Empire. The democracy becomes increasingly radical. In this context we see the astonishing flowering of fifth-century BCE Athenian culture - in architecture, drama and philosophy - but also a disastrous war, and defeat, at the hands of Sparta by the end of the century.The book concludes by exploring the ideas that the decisive battles of Thermopylae and Salamis mark the beginnings of Western civilization itself and that Greece remains the bulwark of the West , representing the values of generous and unselfish peace, freedom and democracy in a neighbourhood ravaged by instability and wa

    "A composer with the ability to transcend several musical genres and yet stay firmly focused within his own perceived sound. The word 'genius' I have always reserved for the greats like Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Richard Thompson and Louie Armstrong, but given the diversity, variation, number of musical genres, and the prolific number of high quality, original compositions of all styles of music Pete has put out. And continues to produce every year, not to mention a back catalogue of finely crafted original songs (that always have something unique to say about the human condition), it's hard not to use the word for him here as well. If he is not a genius then he is certainly one of Australia's most creative and interesting composers for acoustic music to emerge in the last decade" Tony Bates ..Musicologist/Reviewer' Station Librarian /Presenter 3WBC 94.1FM, BOX Pete Hawkes is one of the most important figures in contemporary roots music due to his melding of different styles, his capacity to write anything from delta blues to stunningly complex orchestral music and due to his radically different conceptual approach to recording. Now considered by many of his contempories as one of the great composers of his time, not only due to his capacity to write evocative and stunningly beautiful emotional music, but more so due to his unusual ability, unlike most writers, to write innovative, often ground breaking music in all musical genres, Hawkes still remains an unknown quantity to many. Never really lusting for fame and fortune and remaining a composer rather than entertainer, Hawkes actively sought to negate the opportunities for stardom when they came, preferring to play small clubs and venues and spend his time writing his often complex and 'bitterly beautiful' compositions as Jeb Tyler describes them. After his debut album, the critically acclaimed folk blues album Secrets Vows and Lies released on Festival Records in 1996, with and England's notorious fiddler Dave Swarbrick guesting on a few tracks, Hawkes relocated to London, the album had sold poorly in Australia and Hawkes was despondent following a relatively unsuccessful tour. In London he briefly reconnected again with Swarbrick and friends in Coventry, and on the odd occasion supported Swarbrick and Carthy and other notable acts in northern England. Hawkes then started playing in small clubs and hotels throughout Europe, moving deeper and deeper into far Europe and finally into Russia. Making St Petersburg his home, he lived there for several months, playing Jazz with local musicians and gypsies. On his return to Australia the following year, Hawkes released a number of remarkable musical works including Unspoken Riddles, the Russian flavoured Melancholy Cello and the brilliant Double Diversity, considered now a landmark album of it's time. In 2002 Hawkes was awarded ABC songwriter of the year from his hometown Newcastle, in honour and respect of his musical endeavours. In many ways Hawkes, was akin to Davey Graham, to whom he credits his initial inspiration of guitar (both Graham and Robert Johnson were his initial influences) in his constant travelling to foreign countries and his lack of interest in the music business per see. Like Davey also, he was ahead of his time, due to the fact that Hawkes produced albums from a composer's point of view, not as a touring vehicle for sales. Whereas most musicians make albums usually of a specific genre designed 'go on the road with' a Hawkes album (such as Unspoken Riddles, Double Diversity) would often reflect songs spanning radically different genres, contain different styles, involve unusual arrangements and involve a plethora of musical ideas all in the one disk. This new conceptual approach to making albums made it difficult for the music industry of it's day to pigeon hole Pete into a specific category for commercial business and my have contributed to his anonymity but his albums themselves remain brilliant musical statements. As one reviewer writes "On a Pete Hawkes album you will find airs, reels and Celtic influenced pieces, Delta Blues and a cleverly written neo classical piece that just oozes Russia. It also includes some very finely arranged and well-executed jazz. If that doesn't take your fancy then you can always listen to Pete's beautiful arrangements of some great classical guitar standards or alternatively relax with the innovative Cello compositions. Dig ragtime? then you have it. In fact there is so much here, in this record you need to listen to it a few times to digest all the ideas and nuances on the disk" Hawkes relocated to Melbourne in 2003 and released a variety of radically different recording projects including The DADGAD Files, original tunes in the DADGAD tuning as a tribute to Davey Graham. In 2006 he released Witchcraft a stunning evocative suite of beautiful orchestral music and then a jazz album, Colors, (which includes one of the great, if not very different versions of summertime you will ever hear) and then in contrast to all these in 2007 he released an amazing extended gothic rock adventure, The Lost Souls Entwined with world renown electric guitar virtuoso Phil Emmanuel. With a back catalogue spanning blues, jazz, rock, classical, folk and everything in between Hawkes is one of the most interesting musical gems that has been, for far too long, hidden away. A composer's composer and a musician's musician.

    Bass World magazine n° 33 Sounding Board The Dark Side of the Bass Francesco Fraioli, double bass Francesco Buccarella, piano N.B.B. Records NBB23 2009 The dark Side of the Bass features stunning performances by Italian double bassist Francesco Fraioli with Francesco Buccarella on piano. The CD includes three sonatas for double bass and piano by the composers Vilmos Montag, Hans-Peter Linde and Paul Hindemith. On the first track, the first movement (Allegro moderato) of the sonata by Vilmos Montag, Fraioli establishes his wide range of dynamic expression and depth of lyricism. Clearly, he is very influenced by one of his teachers, Francesco Petracchi.The entire work demands a legato tone that must be maintained over the wide register and over string crossings. Fraioli's agile shifting and string crossing technique allows him to maintain the dramatic and intense lyricism that score demands. Aided by the recording engineer's decision to utilize a close mic, he is able to clearly articulate every note of the rapid gestures while sustaining his lyricism throughout. However, it was very surprising to hear him occasionally negate his best qualities by opting to perform some of the spiccato passages very off-the-string. Fraioli's pizzicato tone is supportive, deep,very sustained, rich in overtones, and most importantly, dark in timbre. This is especially true at the end of the first movement. Perhaps his dark, rich timbre is what inspired the title of the CD. Despite the close mic, which favors clarity of fundamental frequencies and transients of the envelope more than the overtones of the bass, I'm even more impressed at how Fraioli was able to achieve such dark timbres under these circumstances. The Vilmos Montag Sonata was composed in 1967, but it's careful chromaticism and restrained emotion will remind the listener of the conservative romanticism of the cosmopolitan French tradition of the late 19th century. In other words, if you liked César Franck's Sonata for Violin and Piano, you will like the Montag. The effective writing is very idiomatic and does not confront the double bassist with unreasonable and unmanageable difficulties. Vilmos Montag wrote the Sonata for his brother, Lajos Montag, a double bassist. The Sonata by Hans-Peter Linde, also written in 1967, will immediately remind listeners of the music of Shostakovich, especially the fugato section of the first movement. Also, like much of the music of Shostakovich, the Sonata by Hans-Peter Linde successfully walks the tightrope between the two extremes demanded by late 20th century audiences. It is accessible to the casual listener, yet the work can also satisfy the more sophisticated listener who also wants to analyze the work on multiple levels. Fraioli's approach on the Linde Sonata differs from the Montag. It is much more passive, careful, and in some places, even introspective in nature. The approach is cautious, carefully studied and rigorously appropriate. It is absolutely à propos for the mood of the Linde Sonata. There are formidable double stops in the third movement, and Fraioli executes them with poise and precision. The final sonata on the CD is Paul Hindemith's Sonata for Double Bass and PIano (1949). Fraioli realizes this venerable staple of 20th century repertoire with distinctive lyricism. Both Fraioli and pianist Francesco Buccarella eschew the traditional, misguided practice of square, mechanical and cold phrasing that has often plagued performances of the Hindemith Sonata. From the first sustained note, Fraioli shapes each note with sensitive detail drawing from his expressive vibrato and his command of the lyrical strokes in his right-hand bowing technique. The interpretation is fresh and classic all at once. The recording engineers Lorenzo Gerace and Stefano Cappelli are to be commended for their recording of the piano and double bass in an unusual space that would normally invite unwanted resonances and distortions of the sound waves. Not only did they compensate for such an unfavorable environment, they were able to allow the reverberations of the hall to appropriately color the sound of the double bass and piano. The balance of the double bass and piano in terms of volume and frequency distribution across the spectrum allowed for a unification of the two instruments as a chamber ensemble and ultimately empowered the musicians to produce a recording that is both transparent and ideal. -review by Jeremy Baguyos ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The dark side of the bass project aims at emphasizing the "hidden" assets and qualities of the double bass, on the one hand highlighting the instrument's enthralling poetic aspect while on the other hand stimulating interest in it's repertoire. Conceived together with Luca Aversano, lecturer in the history of music at the DAMS department of Roma Tre University College of Liberal Arts, the project's relationship with the academic world has proved so fruitful that it has transcended the mere cultural level and lead to the shared use of a physical space. In fact, the university's main hall was transformed into a recording studio that hosted both the musical performances and the recording sessions. Relying on the technical mastery and performance skills of Francesco Fraioli on double bass and Francesco Buccarella on piano, The dark side of the bass features works by Vilmos Montag (Sonata in E minor, 1967), Hans-Peter Linde (Sonata in E, 1967) and Paul Hindemith (Sonata, 1949). Besides their being paradigmatic examples of twentieth century music, the artistic style of double bass, as brought into play by these works, has proved a valid testing ground for daring musical experiments, whilst allowing for the creation of refined aural moods. One of the highlights of the CD, for both it's cultural and historical relevance, is the premiere recording of Hans-Peter Linde's Sonata in E (1967). Furthermore, the author has even agreed to be personally involved in the project by providing an introductory note to the sonata for the booklet accompanying the CD. Luca Aversano ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Vilmos Montag, sonata in e minor for double bass and piano (Ed. F Hoffmeister, 1967) Vilmos Montag was born in Budapest February 16, 1908. A student of V. Kladirko and N. Zsolt, he received his diploma in violin at the music high school in Budapest. Later, he graduated in orchestral conducting at the national conservatory. At the same time, he studied composition with L. Lajtha and graduated with honors (Franz Liszt award). At the age of 20, Montag joined the Budapest Opera orchestra as well as that of the philharmonic society. In 1957 he moved to Sweden where he continued composing and where he died in 1991. His musical production consists of pieces for piano solo, a method on piano playing, 5 cadenzas written for the classical concert repertoire, orchestral works, chamber music and a mass. The sonata for double bass and piano in e minor, composed in 1967, is a product not only of musical inspiration, but of family alliances, as well. In fact, it was his brother Lajos Montag who asked him to compose a piece for the double bass. Lajos was a first rate double bassist and composed considerable music as well as a didactic method for the instrument. The part of the double bass in this sonata is transposed a step down from the normal pitch, except for the lowest string. The three higher strings are raised a whole tone according to the classic tuning of Bottesini, while the bottom e-string remains the same. The result is a mixed tuning which opens up new melodic possibilities. Instead of the normal perfect 4th intervals between the strings: e-a-d-g, we now have e-b-e-a. A perf
