This is the score and related to materials for the compositions entitled 'The Long Now", a work for solo bass trombone and sub tone. You will need the Decibel Score Player to read the score for this work, as it has the embedded audio for playback. The score file to use in the player (ending with .dsz) is downloadable here The work is dedicated to James Littlewood, who performed the premiere and was key in shaping the work. PROGRAM NOTE This piece is named after the ' Long Now' , a Foundation that aims to provide counterpoint to today's accelerating culture by encouraging long-term thinking, fostering responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years. A short piece of text that opens the work, spoken by the composer – is a typical 'Long Now' provocation: "How Long is Now?" But this text is inaudible, because the high frequency of the composers human voice is not reproducible in the very low ranges subwoofer speaker it plays through. Music provides complex answers to this question of "How Long is Now?", and in this work, a slow descent into very low sound, where pitch is either uncontrollable or almost inaudible, reflects the limits of human action in and perception of sound as it passes through time, highlighting that there may be other ways to listen, and other ways to experience our passing through time. Commissioned by the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) as part of The ANAM Set (2021). It was written for James Littlewood and the world premiere was on 21 September 2021 at the Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne. The ANAM Set was funded by the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund – an Australian Government Initiative. The work is the first in a series of solos for low instrument and subtone, relating to the concept of the Long Now PERFORMANCE INSTRUCTIONS The score is proportional, with the highest point of the screen being the highest pitch reference, the bottom being the lowest pitch reference.

Anti-Semitism amounts to the longest, deepest, widest, most universal form of ethnic hate and prejudice ever to exist in all of human history. But few of us have any idea of how it got started and how deeply it pervades western culture. This eye-opening video tells the long story of shame. It's something everyone ought to see!

When applying the statistical theory of long range dependent (LRD) processes to economics, the strong complexity of macroeconomic and financial variables, compared to standard LRD processes, becomes apparent. In order to get a better understanding of the behaviour of some economic variables, the book assembles three different strands of long memory analysis: statistical literature on the properties of, and tests for, LRD processes, mathematical literature on the stochastic processes involved, models from economic theory providing plausible micro foundations for the occurence of long memory in economics. Each chapter of the book will give a comprehensive survey of the state of the art and the directions that future developments are likely to take. Taken as a whole the book provides an overview of LRD processes which is accessible to economists, econometricians and statisticians.

Economic mobility constitutes a social aspiration in many modern societies however do we really know the actual evolution of social mobility? In other words: 1) how can we measure economic mobility with the data available or with the technology at hand? 2) What are the trends of economic mobility experienced by the current generation? Moreover 3) how mobile is a society relative to previous generations? These questions motivate this dissertation. The complexity of these issues may derive in some sort of paralysis but it is claimed here that it may be possible to learn something about its evolution by restricting analysis to a couple of key dimensions within the economic discipline: income and education. This is the scope followed by this research. The first paper in this dissertation is devoted to deal with the lack of the required data to examine the income dynamics within one generation. It is well known that longitudinal data is often scarce and is seldom available in many countries. This is the case even in well-developed countries! This conundrum has been partially addressed through recent methodological approaches by the so-called synthetic panels. The second part of this dissertation is entirely devoted to applied research. More specifically, the second and third papers describe long run trends of economic mobility in income and education respectively. The former is devoted to intra-generational mobility while the later is devoted to inter-generational mobility. Each of them address the second and third interrogations referred above. In a way this dissertation attempts to improve the addition of the time dimension in the analysis of economic wellbeing. It attempts to produce the effect of a motion picture by the use multiple snapshots. The trends contained herein are far from being perfect and complete but they are based on the use of extensive data and multiple methods covering three decades and the same number of generations in each case. This research expects to expand our knowledge on the empirics of economic mobility as most of the studies refer to few years of intra-generational mobility or to a couple of generations only. Furthermore, most of the empirical evidence available refers to Nordic and highly industrialized countries. Mexico is the canvas of this work but the approaches and principles followed here could be easily mimicked elsewhere. The roads of our lives are constantly moving: rising and falling. In a democratic context, it is useful to know, whether our society provides the chance to get ahead regardless of our origins, or whether this chance is ruled or doomed by them. Empirical evidence is needed to foster these deliberations. This dissertation may well be an invitation to sustain this kind conversation. ; La mobilité économique est une des aspirations de toute société moderne, mais comment peut-on savoir la véritable évolution de la mobilité sociale ? C'est-à-dire : 1) peut-on mesurer la mobilité sociale avec les données ou la technologie disponibles aujourd'hui? 2) Quelles sont les tendances de la mobilité sociale qui a traversées la génération actuelle? Ou encore 3) à quel point la société actuelle est-elle mobile par rapport aux anciennes générations? Ce sont les trois questions à la base de cette thèse. Nous soutenons ici que c'est possible de connaître encore plus sur l'évolution de la mobilité sociale en restreignant son analyse à quelques dimensions dans le champ de l'économie : le revenu et l'éducation. Le première article s'attaque au problème du manque des données nécessaires pour l'analyse des dynamiques du revenu à l'intérieur d'une génération. Il est avéré que les données longitudinales sont rares et très peu disponibles dans la plupart des pays, ce qui est vrai même pour les pays développés ! Nous avons essayé d'assembler ce casse-tête par des approches méthodologiques récentes, telles que les «panels synthétiques», une méthodologie normalement utilisée pour l'analyse des dynamiques de la pauvreté. Les articles deux et trois décrivent, plus spécifiquement, les tendances à long terme de la mobilité économique pour le revenu et pour l'éducation, respectivement. Le deuxième papier s'occupe de la mobilité intra-générationnelle, tandis que le troisième est dédié à la mobilité intergénérationnelle. Tous les deux répondent aux questions deux et trois posées plus en haut, en cherchant d'améliorer la façon dont la dimension temporaire est incluse dans l'analyse du bien-être économique, ceci avec pour but de reproduire l'effet d'un film fait avec plusieurs clichés. Cette thèse cherche à élargir le savoir expérimental sur la mobilité économique, vu que la plupart des études ne prennent en compte que quelques années de mobilité intra-générationnelle ou à peine quelque génération. En outre, la plupart des résultats des expériences existantes font référence aux pays scandinaves ou à des pays fortement industrialisés. Pour cette thèse nous avons donc pris l'exemple du Mexique, mais les approches et les principes méthodologiques utilisés pourront être appliqués à n'importe quel autre pays. Les chemins de nos vies sont dans un mouvement perpétuel : par monts et par vaux. Dans une société démocratique, il semble utile de savoir si notre appartenance sociale nous permet de nous en sortir malgré nos origines, ou si au contraire, notre destin est voué à l'échec à cause d'elles. Il nous faut en effet, des résultats empiriques pour répondre à ces délibérations. Cette thèse est peut-être une invitation osée à mettre en marche cette conversation.

Church-state relations in Italy have concerned the role of the Catholic Church in the failure of successive regimes to consolidate themselves & a triangular relationship involving the Christian Democrat (DC) Party, 1943-1994. Despite a historic ambivalence about Christian Democracy, the Church supported the party not least because of its concern about the challenge of the Communist Party. By the 1970s, the church was engaged in redefining its position vis-a-vis the state, leading to the renegotiation of the 1929 concordat in 1984. The demise of the DC in 1994 finally broke the myth of Catholic political unity. 2 Tables. Adapted from the source document.
