<mask> (October 27, 1940 – May 28, 1990) was an American composer, pianist, vocalist, and dancer whose work is associated with musical minimalism. He was among the first composers to combine minimalist processes with elements of pop music, and involve experimental methods of extending and modifying music in creating what he called "organic music". He often gave his pieces titles with provocative political intent, such as Evil Nigger and Gay Guerrilla, and has been acclaimed following new performances and reissues of his music. Biography
<mask> grew up in Ithaca, New York, with his mother, <mask>, and younger brother, Gerry. He began studying piano at age 14 and made rapid progress. He studied at Ithaca College before transferring to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. There he studied piano with Mieczysław Horszowski and composition with Constant Vauclain, and switched majors from piano to composition, graduating in 1963.He made his debut as a pianist in 1966 at The Town Hall in New York City. <mask> had a rich, deep, and extremely flexible singing voice, for which he became noted for his 1973 Nonesuch recording of Eight Songs for a Mad King by the British composer Peter Maxwell Davies. <mask>'s talents gained the attention of composer-conductor Lukas Foss, who conducted Davies' music in performance at the Brooklyn Philharmonic. At the behest of Foss, <mask> joined the Creative Associates—a "prestigious program in avant-garde classical music" that "carried a stipend but no teaching obligations"—at SUNY Buffalo's Center for the Creative and Performing Arts. During this period, he met Petr Kotik, a Czech-born composer, conductor, and flutist. <mask> and Kotik performed together extensively in the early to mid-1970s. Along with Kotik, <mask> was a founding member of the S.E.M.Ensemble. From 1971 he performed and toured with the group,

During this period, fifteen of <mask>'s earliest works were performed by the Creative Associates, including Stay On It (1973), an early augury of postminimalism and one of the first art music compositions inspired by progressions from popular music, presaging the later innovations of Arthur Russell and Rhys Chatham. Although <mask> began to teach theory and composition courses over the course of his tenure, he left Buffalo in 1975 following a controversially ribald performance of John Cage's aleatoric Songbooks by the S.E.M. Ensemble under the aegis of Morton Feldman. It included nudity and homoerotic allusions interpolated by <mask>. Cage was incensed and said during an ensuing lecture that <mask>'s "[ego]... is closed in on homosexuality.And we know this because he has no other ideas." Additionally, <mask>'s friend Kyle Gann has speculated that his inability to acclimate to the more bureaucratic elements of academic life (including paperwork) may have hastened his departure from the university. Shortly thereafter, <mask> settled in New York City, where he initially straddled the divide between the conventionally bifurcated "uptown" and downtown music scenes. <mask> often wrote his music following what he called an "organic" principle. Each new section of a work contained all the information from previous sections, though sometimes "the information is taken out at a gradual and logical rate." The principle is most evident in his three works for four pianos, Evil Nigger, Crazy Nigger, and Gay Guerrilla, all from around 1979. The last of these appropriates Martin Luther's hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," as a gay manifesto.In 1976, <mask> participated in a performance of Eight Songs for a Mad King conducted by Pierre Boulez at Lincoln Center. He served as the first male vocalist in Meredith Monk's

He fostered a strong kinship and collaboration with Arthur Russell, conducting nearly all of his orchestral recordings (compiled as First Thought Best Thought [Audika Records, 2006]) and participating (as organist and vocalist) in the recording of 24-24 Music (1982; released under the imprimatur of Dinosaur L), a controversial disco-influenced composition that included the underground dance hits "Go Bang!" and "In the Cornbelt"; both featured <mask>'s trademark bravado. During this period, he also played in a jazz ensemble with his brother Gerry, who previously played guitar in the Count Basie Orchestra. He played in and conducted the Brooklyn Philharmonia's CETA Orchestra (funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act under the administration of the Cultural Council Foundation). He also coordinated the Philharmonia's Community Concert Series in conjunction with Foss and other composers of color.By 1980, he was regularly touring across the United States and internationally; a recording of a performance from that year at Northwestern University was released on the posthumous compilation Unjust Malaise (2005). A 1981 piece for <mask>'s cello ensemble, The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc, was performed at The Kitchen in New York City. In 1986, the choreographer Molissa Fenley set her dance, Geologic Moments, to music of Philip Glass and two works by <mask> (an unknown work for two pianos and "One God" in which <mask> sang and played piano), which premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Despondent about what he saw as a dearth of worthy professional opportunities, <mask> grew increasingly dependent on drugs after 1983. His life fell apart; many of his scores were impounded by the New York City Sheriff's Office following an eviction in the early 1980s, further impeding

 his professional development. While homeless, he briefly took refuge in Tompkins Square Park. His hope for a lectureship at Cornell University also failed to materialize during this period.Despite a temporary attempt at a comeback, <mask> died alone at the age of 49 in Millard Fillmore Hospital in Buffalo, New York of cardiac arrest. No public notice was given to his death until an obituary by Kyle Gann appeared in the Village Voice; it was dated January 22, 1991, eight months after <mask> died. As <mask>'s notational methods were loose and open to interpretation, revival of his music has been a difficult task, dependent on people who worked with him. Style
<mask>'s works often involve repeating, slowly evolving and discordant aleatoric sections, and pop structures (particularly in Stay on It (1973) or The Holy Presence of Joan D'Arc (1981), which repeat but dramatically evolve catchy riffs). As well as this, his long-form piano pieces like Evil Nigger (1979) and Gay Guerrilla (c. 1980) show his intent to dramatically explore his Black and gay identity through motifs that, in tone and repetition, represent heightening conflict, particularly strong in emotion for minimalism. <mask> described his works as "organic music" involving "gradual accrual and accumulation, often followed by gradual disintegration", where he would gradually and sometimes abruptly alter repeated refrains and phrases to create the basis for sheet music and its performance. Artistic legacy
The composer Mary Jane Leach found scores by <mask>, initially posting them to her website.They are now available through G. Schirmer. In June 2006, the New York-based group Ne(x)tworks presented their score realization (by Cornelius Dufallo and Chris McIntyre) of Eastman's Stay On It at the ISSUE Project Room silo space on Carroll Street in Brooklyn.

The album includes performances of "Evil Nigger" and "Gay Guerilla" by David Friend and Emily Manzo that have been manipulated and re-arranged by Clayton. The album's final track is a tribute to the late composer titled, "Callback from the American Society of Eastman Supporters." Performer/Composer Amy Knoles recently created a 4.0 solo live electronic version of Crazy Nigger. She toured the Pacific Northwest and Europe in the Fall of 2013, with a program called Julius Eastman FOUND.

We've seen what can happen when a great deal of money is given to battle a disease. The AIDS virus was once a death sentence, but adequate funding has allowed pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession to develop a treatment that allows patients to go on with their lives. More progress needs to be made with the hundreds of types of cancer." In February 2015, <mask> was formally appointed as an inaugural member of the Dean’s Advisory Board at the UConn School of Medicine.His role on the Board is to assist the Dean in identifying and advancing the primary needs of the school for issues such as scholarship, research and faculty. In 2015, <mask> was also elected to the CT and Western MA Board of the American Heart Association to help guide the organization's mission and fundraising efforts. <mask> continued his active involvement in the fight against cancer as chairman of the 2018 American Cancer Society's (ACS) Naples, FL Annual Bucket List Gala. This prestigious fundraiser has raised more than $5.5 million since its inception in 2011. Funds raised help the ACS fund its mission to save and celebrate lives, and to lead the fight for a world without cancer. For the 2018 event, <mask> hired the legendary Diana Ross to attract donors.

<mask> (Omaha, 1857–1932) was the first professional Native American ethnologist; he worked with the Smithsonian Institution. He specialized in Omaha and Osage cultures. Working closely as a translator and researcher with the anthropologist Alice C. Fletcher, <mask> wrote several articles and a book on the Omaha, plus more numerous works on the Osage. He made valuable original recordings of their traditional songs and chants. Beginning in 1908, he collaborated with American composer Charles Wakefield Cadman to develop an opera, Da O Ma (1912), based on his stories of Omaha life, but it was never produced. A collection of <mask>'s stories was published posthumously in 1998. Of Omaha, Ponca, and French descent, <mask> was the son of Omaha chief <mask> (also known as Iron Eye) and his second wife Ta-in-ne (Omaha).He grew up on the Omaha Reservation at a time of major transition for the tribe. Before the establishment of anthropology programs, <mask> earned undergraduate and master's degrees at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, DC. He made his professional life among European Americans. Early life and education
<mask> <mask> was born in 1857 on the Omaha Reservation, the first child of his father <mask>'s second wife Ta-in-ne, an Omaha woman. He was half-brother to his father's first five children. Their mother was Mary Gale, mixed-race daughter of an American surgeon and his Iowa wife. After Mary's death, the widower Joseph (also known as Iron Eye) had remarried.<mask> attended the Presbyterian Mission School at Bellevue, Nebraska. Later he attended college and law school in

 Washington, DC. By 1853, Iron Eye was a chief of the Omaha; he helped negotiate the 1854 treaty by which the tribe sold most of their land in Nebraska. He led the tribe as a head chief soon after their removal to a reservation and in the major transition to more sedentary lives. <mask> <mask> (Iron Eye) was Métis, of Ponca and French descent, and grew up mostly with the Omaha people. Working first as a fur trader, as an adult he was adopted as a son by the chief Big Elk. He taught him the culture and designated Iron Eye as his successor.Joseph emphasized education for all his children; several went to schools and colleges in the East. They were encouraged to contribute to the Omaha. <mask>' half-siblings became accomplished adults: Susette <mask> was an activist and nationally known speaker on issues of Indian rights and reform; Rosalie <mask> Farley was an activist and managed Omaha tribal financial affairs; and <mask> <mask> was the first Native American woman trained as a European-American style doctor; she treated the Omaha for years. Career
In 1879, Judge Elmer Dundy of the US District Court made a landmark civil rights decision affirming the rights of American Indians as citizens under the Constitution. In Standing Bear v. Crook, Dundy had ruled that "an Indian is a person" under the Fourteenth Amendment. Susette "Bright Eyes" <mask> had been involved as an interpreter for the chief Standing Bear and an expert witness on Indian issues. She invited <mask> to accompany her with Standing Bear on a lecture tour of the eastern United States during 1879-1880.They took turns acting as interpreter

Fletcher, an anthropologist, on her unprecedented trip to live with and study Sioux women on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Susette acted as her interpreter. <mask> <mask> also met and assisted Fletcher at this time, and they started a lifelong professional partnership. Nearly 20 years older than he, Fletcher encouraged his education to become a professional anthropologist. He started working with her in Washington, DC about 1881, where he also worked as an interpreter for the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. <mask> gained a position with the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution, with which Fletcher collaborated on her research.He served as a copyist, translator and interpreter. At the beginning, he helped classify Omaha and Osage artifacts. He advanced to conducting professional-level research with Fletcher, and also acted as her translator and interpreter. He graduated from the National University Law School (now George Washington University Law School) in 1892 and earned a master's degree there in 1893. In 1891 Fletcher had informally adopted the 34-year-old <mask>lesche. In their joint book and articles on the Omaha, <mask> Flesche followed the anthropological approach of describing rituals and practices in detail. During his regular visits to the Omaha and Osage, and study of their rituals, <mask> Flesche also made recordings on wax cylinders (now invaluable) of their songs and chants, as well as documenting them in writing.The young composer Charles Wakefield Cadman was interested in

 American Indian music and influenced by <mask>'s work. Cadman spent time on the Omaha reservation to learn many songs and how to play the traditional instruments. In 1908 <mask>che proposed a collaboration with Cadman and Nelle Richmond Eberhart, to create an opera based on his Omaha stories. Eberhart had written lyrics for Cadman's Four American Indian Songs, as well as other of his songs. The team worked for four years on Da O Ma, which was changed to feature Sioux characters. Each approached the collaboration from a different point of view, and the opera was never published or performed. <mask> contributed also to Cadman's ''The Robin Woman (Shanewis) (1918), but the composer completed the project with Tsianina Redfeather Blackstone, a Creek singer who contributed to the libretto.Beginning in 1910, <mask> gained a professional position as an anthropologist in the Smithsonian's Bureau of American Ethnology, serving there until 1929. This marked the second part of his career. He wrote and lectured extensively on his research, publishing most of his works during this time. His focus changed with his independent research on the music and religion of the Osage, who are closely related to the Omaha. His primary objective was to explain Osage ideas, beliefs, and concepts. He wanted his readers to see the world of the Osages for what it was in reality-not the world of simple "children of nature" but a highly complex world reflecting an intellectual tradition as sophisticated and imaginative as that of any Old World people.

<mask> married Alice Mitchell in June 1877, but she died the next year. In 1879 he married Rosa Bourassa, a young Omaha woman, about the time of his tour in 1879-1880 with his sister and Standing Bear. They separated shortly before he began working in Washington, DC, in 1881 and divorced in 1884. For most of his years in Washington, <mask> shared a house on Capitol Hill with Alice Fletcher, with whom he worked closely, and Jane Gay. Fletcher and <mask>che kept the nature of their relationship private.She willed money to him at her death. Death

He scored two goals in 51 games as Doncaster posted a 14th-place finish, though admitted that veteran midfielder James Coppinger was right to question the squad's desire after a late play-off push was ended with a run of just two wins in 14 games. Style of play
The Sheffield Star described <mask> as a "straightforward 'kick it and head it' defender". Speaking in March 2017, Burnley manager Sean Dyche praised his mentality, will and desire. Career statistics

Colonel <mask> is an active Marine officer of the Philippine Navy, a graduate of the Philippine Military Academy, class of 1994. Born in Hagonoy, Bulacan, he is the eleventh of 13 children of a fisherman and an ordinary housewife. He managed to finish his primary education with flying colors having graduated as valedictorian and was a consistent scholar in his secondary education. Finishing his college education was really difficult due to poverty which constrained him to take various odd jobs to support himself. More than just military achievements, Colonel <mask> transcended the stereotypical role of a soldier in his various assignments, particularly with his work with foreign governments. A number of people who heard <mask>’s struggle to liberate communities from terrorism and the drug menace described him as brave, credible, and “dead”. “Dead” describes the numerous threats that he gets from the criminals whom he sent to jail, who will do everything to destroy, if not kill him.But, <mask> is a living inspiration to our people to be upright and honest. He is convinced that “we can change the Philippines for the better, one Filipino at a time, and one government agency at a time, and I will start it from myself”. Indeed, Colonel <mask>’s life story is one of dedication to the service of the country and its people. Early Struggle
<mask> initially planned to enroll at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila believing that it is the only school that his family could afford. But, upon enrolling, he found out that the registration fee amounted to P180.00 – money that they did not have. Determined to finish his studies, <mask> worked at a construction site at the University of the East in Recto, Manila where he saw a poster of the DAWN, the college’s publication.

He played a very vital role in the attainment of an environment of peace and security in his area of responsibility and the implementation of development programs of the other pillars of UNTAET.With his managerial expertise and unselfish desire to reach out to the Timorese people, despite many constraints and very limited resources, his unit had conducted medical and dental services, humanitarian aid, rehabilitation of school buildings, and repair of roads and bridges. His good relationship with the different international agencies and non-governmental organizations in the area has established a cooperative effort for the development of the sub-district. In return, he was given several commendation letters from the civilian administration of East Timor, the UNTAET leadership and the UNTAET Peace Keeping Force Deputy Force Commander, Major General Mike Smith, of the Australian Defence Force. He was a budding captain when he served as the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) liaison officer to the Joint United States Military Assistance Group (JUSMAG) and the US Defense Representative to the Republic of the Philippines.

He likewise coordinated the Joint-Combined Bilateral Exercise Programs, the second-largest US International Military Education and Training (IMET) program in the world, as well as other military to military engagement programs as prescribed by the Mutual Defense Board. For this service, he was awarded by the Secretary of the United States Army with the US Army Achievement Medal for his invaluable contributions in strengthening the bilateral relations between the US and Philippine Armed Forces during crucial times of the US Operation Enduring Freedom-Philippines.Anti-Drug Service
Colonel <mask> began his career in the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) when he was directed to resolve the case of theft of 21-million pesos worth of shabu from PDEA’s Laboratory Service evidence room in August 2006. Then a seasoned intelligence officer in the Philippine Marine Corps, he was tasked by then PDEA Director General Dionisio Santiago to catch the perpetrators of the crime which put the agency in a very bad light. Going undercover, then Captain <mask> led the operation at a shopping mall in Fairview, Quezon City which led to the arrest of the perpetrators of the theft and who were all PDEA officials and personnel. The arrests spearheaded the pursuit of cleansing the ranks of PDEA of drug users, coddlers, and protectors. In the early dawn of December 22, 2006, and barely four months in PDEA, <mask> led a composite group of PDEA agents and Chinese authorities from China National Narcotics Control Commission (CNNCC) in steering the whole operations from

In so doing, his team then practically dismantled one of the biggest drug syndicates in Southeast Asia as cited by the CNNCC. Three members of the Chinese drug syndicate were also nabbed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) when they were about to leave the country.CNNCC also arrested 13 other members of the syndicate in China and recovered one ton of precursors. The operation significantly strengthened the cooperation between the Filipino and Chinese anti-narcotics agencies. <mask> then became the youngest in the agency’s national directorial staff, who simultaneously held the positions of Director of PDEA’s International Cooperation and Foreign Affairs Service, Director of the Special Enforcement Service (PDEA’s national striking force trained to conduct special investigations and operations), the Director of the Interagency Counter-narcotics Operations Network or ICON (Philippine’s inter-agency effort against the organized trafficking of illegal drugs in the country), and as the Director for Intelligence of the Presidential Task Force Drug Courier (PTFDC). PTDFC was formed through Presidential Administrative Order 279, issued on February 8, 2010, due to the rampant incidents of Filipinos used as drug couriers by international drug cartels. It aims to help protect Filipinos from being victimized by the drug syndicates. As Director of the PDEA’s Special Enforcement Service and Director for Intelligence of PTDFC, <mask> initiated and directed several operations to neutralize the West African Drug Syndicates (WADS) operating worldwide.

Awards and Recognition <mask>'s Anti-Drug Crusade
With all his efforts, PDEA rose from being on the list of the most corrupt law enforcement agencies in the country, to being one of the top ten lease corrupt agencies in the Philippine government, according to Pulse Asia Review and the 2009 Global Competitiveness Survey Report, published in the World Economic Forum. In 2009, <mask> was chosen as the Most Outstanding Law Enforcer of the Year by the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) and was awarded PDEA’s Most Outstanding National Staff Officer for his exemplary achievement to the agency and to the people. He was given the Distinguished Public Servant Award by Rotary Club of Makati Urdaneta RD 3830 and was given a significant commendation by the Makati Business Club and other government and non-government institutions. He was also selected by the US Department of State to represent the Philippines in the International Visitor Leadership Program on US Foreign Policy and Counterterrorism in Washington, DC and different states in the continental United States. Service as a Senior Officer
In 2011, when the new leadership took over PDEA’s helm, <mask> decided to go back to the Armed Forces of the Philippines, where he worked as the AFP Cell Liaison Officer to the Presidential Situation Room in Malacañang Palace and at the same time, Chief of the National Capital Region Command Operations Branch at the AFP

However, higher authorities opted to put him with the Intelligence Service Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) and work with the newly reactivated Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC). In PAOCC, <mask> launched an operation that resulted in the arrest of hundreds of foreign nationals for violation of the Philippines Anti-Cybercrime Law. This operation is credited in the history of Philippine law enforcement as the largest number of single-day arrests against foreign nationals involved in criminal activities. In 2012, ISAFP leadership installed <mask> to the helm of military intelligence group to address the escalating threats posed by insurgency in the Southern Tagalog region wherein he also assumed the vice chairmanship of the Regional Intelligence Committee for more than two years. After substantially paralyzing the insurgents’ movements, <mask> was once again tasked to work against drug trafficking organizations that have metamorphosed from a mere law enforcement problem into a national security concern. It was during this time that significant counter-intelligence operations were launched.It has resulted in the discovery and dismantling of the clandestine shabu laboratory in Camiling, Tarlac in 2014. It was considered as the largest shabu laboratory ever dismantled in the history of Philippine narcotics operations, with a three billion pesos total worth of equipment and drugs seized during the raid.

Early in 2016 and while serving as superintendent of the Philippine Navy Officers Candidate School, the entire nation was shocked when <mask>, along with his Chinese confidential informant were framed and unlawfully arrested, after they were allegedly caught in a clandestine drug laboratory and maliciously accused of manufacturing illegal drugs. He was vilified in the media as upright law enforcer turned rogue. However, people from all walks of life came out to defend him. Peasants, religious leaders, indigenous people, military, and people from the academe mobilized and organized the Free Marcelino Movement, whose objective was to seek justice and freedom from the beleaguered marine officer.<mask>'s defense team believed that his arrest was meant to undermine the integrity and drug advocacy of the former drug enforcement official. He was incarcerated for almost a year, until the Department of Justice withdrew the criminal charges against him. The withdrawal of the case was affirmed by Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 49, saying that the case against him lacked merit. The 14th Philippine Congress, in its second regular session, adopted Senate Resolution 160, commending him and saying that “...<mask> deserves the country’s recognition of his integrity, courage, and dedication to duty during these times, when the people’s trust in our law enforcers, once again, suffered a major setback”.

<mask> (4 June 1910, Frenda, Algeria – 27 June 1995) was a French Islamic scholar and sociologist. His expertise was the decolonisation of Algeria and Morocco. Biography

Born of French parents in Frenda (now in Tiaret Province) in French Algeria, he was a pied-noir. His father, <mask>, was a scholar and Arabist of distinction, one of the few to take an interest in the Muslim culture of the Maghreb. <mask> graduated from University of Algiers in 1929, and obtained a M.A. degree a year later. He joined the French army, and from 1934 to 1944 worked as a civil servant in Morocco.As such, he worked as an agronomist in attempts to improve Moroccan agriculture and the life of the peasants. Later he became administrator of the Seksawa tribe, at Imi n'Tanout, High Atlas. Five years of residence among them led to the book which established his scholarly reputation, Les Structures Sociales du Haut Atlas (1955). It remains one of the most thorough ethnographies of the Berbers. He lived his last years and died in a village in the Landes, the region in south-west France from which the Berque family originates. He died in Saint-Julien-en-Born. Career

In 1947 he became a Middle East expert for Unesco.He was sent to Egypt in 1953, returning to Paris two years later. He was made director of Muslim Sociological Studies at the Ecole Practique des Hautes Etudes, and a year later, in 1956, was appointed Professor of the Social History of Contemporary Islam at the Collège de France, a post he occupied until his retirement in 1981. Later he presided over two government missions, one at the Ministry of Research (1981–1982) and the

texts: other at the Ministry of Education (1984–1985). Among some of <mask>'s most important works are his books Les Arabes d'hier a demain (1960) and L'Egypte: imperialisme et revolution (1967), translated into English by Jean Stewart as The Arabs: their history and future (1964) and Egypt: imperialism and revolution (1972). The latter, which is divided into five parts, deals with the history and social structure of Egypt from the 18th century up to 1952 when the monarchy was toppled. In an earlier work, Le Maghreb entre deux guerres ("The Maghreb between two world wars", 1962), Berque criticizes the colonial system. His administrative and ethnographic experience eventually took him in a direction adopted by few North-African-born Frenchmen or by colonial administrators: he came out in favour of independence.<mask> was one of the few Europeans who retained links with the new Algeria after the bloody war. As the theoretician of third-worldist romanticism, he became influential to the entire Arab-Muslim world, and even of the Third World as a whole. Another work on the Maghreb, L'Interieur du Maghreb, XVe-XIXe siecle (1978), gives <mask>'s own interpretation of its history. Based on a reading of 15 texts which he had taught at the Collège de France, the book runs to more than 500 pages, and is an important document on the history of the Maghreb. Important as well is Languages arabes du present ("Present-day languages of the Arabs", 1974), which delves into the literary history of the Arabs, their language and culture. <mask>'s linguistic versatility is made apparent here in his translations of Arabic poetry from the

 classical period to the present, and in his analysis of the varieties of spoken and written Arabic. He was an accomplished Arabist, perfecting several Arabic dialects of both the Maghreb and the Middle East.He believed in the importance of bringing together different, but related, regions, whether in the Arabic- speaking world or in the Mediterranean, as can be seen from the titles of two of his books, De l'Euphrate a l'Atlas ("From the Euphrates to the Atlas", 1978) and Memoires des deux rives ("Recollections from Both Shores of the Mediterranean", 1989), the latter described by Ernest Gellner, as 'a splendid account of what it was to be a pied-noir slowly converted to anti-colonialism'. He once said in an interview that since childhood he had tried fervently 'to synthesise the cultures of the northern shore of the Mediterranean with those of its southern shore'. <mask>'s most lasting contribution might have been to the study of Islam. A devout Christian, he found in Islam "a new version of the truth of the world". Made a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in his own country, he was decorated also by Morocco, Syria and Tunisia. In Egypt he was made a member of the Arabic Language Academy of Cairo. Orientalism controversy

In the literary sparrings between Bernard Lewis and Edward Said, who criticized Orientalist scholarship, claiming Lewis' work to be a prime example of Orientalism, in his 1978 book Orientalism, <mask> was among the scholars, such as Maxime Rodinson, Malcolm H.

texts: <mask> (30 August 1907 – 11 December 1983), generally known as <mask> or 'Gelignite' <mask>, was an Australian racing driver and sportsman, most remembered for his participation in the REDEX Round Australia Reliability Trials in the 1950s. <mask> was born in Port Melbourne, Victoria, to <mask> (orchardist in 1907) and his wife <mask>, née Carse. He was educated at Albert Park School, leaving at age 14 to work in a bicycle shop building pushbikes and working with cars, helping the mechanic. <mask> laboured throughout rural Victoria, grape picking at Mildura, driving a tractor in Sea Lake, Victoria and even worked as a diver's attendant on the Murray River for a few months until the river flooded. He soon was involved in motor racing activities, and in 1932 moved to Sydney, where he worked for a company testing Chrysler cars. By 1933 <mask> and his brother Ray had a garage and service station ‘Auto Service Ltd.’ (unconfirmed) or ‘Murray Bros’., at the corner of Roscoe and Gould Streets, Bondi, which they ran until the mid-1930s. At this time, they purchased and moved their business, then called ‘Murray Bros,’ to 94 Curlewis St, Bondi.During World War 2, for about a year spanning 1944 to 1945, <mask> was contracted to serve with the US Small Ships, based mostly at Finschhafen, Papua New Guinea, aboard a maintenance ship called The Half Rufus. After the war <mask> and Ray continued their business at 94 Curlewis Street, Bondi, (referred to by all and sundry simply as ‘The Garage’) which they operated together from the mid-1930s to late 1971 when <mask> retired.

'Gelignite' <mask> enjoyed testing motor vehicles and oils, as well as travel — any opportunity or excuse where a group of mates could get together and set off on an adventure of some kind. He and Evan Green frequently paired up to share the fun. During November and December 1965, the duo undertook just such an adventure, one that became the documentary film Crossroads Alice.The trip was designed as a test of BMC (Austin 1800 and a Morris Mini Deluxe) cars and Castrol oil. The vehicles completed a 12,000-mile (19,312 km) Figure 8 crossing of the Australian continent. Over the years 'Gelignite' <mask> competed in seven round Australia trials and many adventure trips testing cars, lubricants and drivers. 'Gelignite' <mask> competed in both the 1966 and 1967 Southern Cross Rallies driving a Prince Skyline GT with registration plates JM789. (DNF both events). Car versus Plane 1968

As <mask> and Evan Green were preparing to compete in the London to Sydney marathon later that year, the question was: ‘How could two rally tested veterans best prepare for days and nights of endless driving?’ Clearly, the answer was: ‘Spend days and nights endlessly driving. But why not make it interesting, and race a plane as well?’ Another adventure lay ahead.At noon on Friday 26 April 1968, <mask> and Evan set off from Essendon Airport, Melbourne, to race a Morris 1100 cc ‘S’ against a light plane around Australia.

That was an incredible 197 hours and 40 minutes to complete a drive most of us would spend a year undertaking. The details are a testament to both <mask>'s and Evan's endurance and ability to spend many hours behind the wheel. The tachograph showed 192 hours 45 minutes, which included 22 hours 15 minutes of breaks (12 per cent of time), covering 9,682 miles (15,581 km) with an average speed of 91 km/h (if taken on actual driving time) or 80 km/h on average overall. Top speed between Norseman and Carnarvon reached 82 mph (132 km/h). The light plane was restricted to flying during the day only.The plane was restricted to eight hours a day as neither pilot was licensed to fly at night.

On Monday 7 October 1946, as competitors battled for position in the NSW Grand Prix of 100 miles, <mask> braked heavily for what was then termed Pit Corner at the end of Conrod Straight – but his Terraplane crashed into the sandbags. In the darkness of the evening, as the competitors left the circuit, Alf Najar used a piece of charcoal from a campfire to scratch ‘Murray's Corner’ on the Pit Corner timber fence. That's the real story of how an iconic Bathurst location got its name. I notice that as the years pass the latest sponsors’ names are more frequently attached to sections of the course. But to the traditionalists, it will always remain <mask>'s Corner, named after Bill, not his good mate <mask>.<mask> competed in the 1947 Australian Grand Prix in a Bugatti Type 39/Ford 3.6L known as the Day Special, but was forced to retire having completed 29 of 38 laps. <mask> competed in the 1948 NSW Hundred at Mount Panorama in the ‘Day Special’ finishing 9th.

But <mask> fared better in the 1950 New South Wales 100, when he placed fourth, with a flying quarter mile speed of 119.2 mph(192 km/h), the Day Special now equipped with a Grancor V8 engine. In March 1951 <mask> competed in the REDEX Bathurst 100 in an Allard J2/Cadillac 4.4L.He also drove an Allard J2 in the REDEX 50 Mile Championship in October 1951, but was forced to retire in both of these events. He drove the Allard/Cadillac in the 1952 Australian Grand Prix, and came fourth, and the Bugatti/Ford Day Special in the 1954 Bathurst 100, when he came seventh. The 1967 Gallaher 500 was held at Bathurst Mount Panorama on 1 October 1967. Although he probably didn't realise it at the time, this would prove to be a poignant Bathurst meet for <mask> – his last race on the Mount Panorama circuit. The year 1967 marked a 21-year career span for <mask> racing at Bathurst. He had raced the Mackellar Special, the Day Special, two Cadillac-Allards, a D-Type Jaguar and sedans such as a Ford Pilot, Ford Cortina GT, Morris Elite and Prince Skyline GT. <mask> is credited with having the fastest 100-mile race time over the Mount Panorama circuit for 1946.In 1950 <mask> won an event recording the fastest lap time, reaching 119 mph (192 km/h) down Conrod Straight.

In 1960, in his D-Type Jaguar, he was clocked at 150 mph (240 km/h) down Conrod Straight. In 1965, almost 20 years after first racing at Bathurst, the ‘old men in wheelchairs’ <mask> (58) and Bill McLachlan (48) placed fifth overall and third in class driving a Ford Cortina Mk 1 GT 500. The younger brigade took note.The REDEX Reliability Trials

There were three major REDEX Reliability car trials held in successive years: 1953, 1954 and 1955. It is a little-known fact that there was also a series of much shorter REDEX 1000 trials held in the months preceding the long distance REDEX events. In both 1953 and 1954, <mask> had class wins in these events – a portent of things to come. In 1954 there were also REDEX motorcycle and REDEX plane events. REDEX was a motor vehicle oil additive and Reg Shepheard, an Englishman who came to Australia, owned the selling agent rights. Car clubs and motoring magazines had proffered the idea of a round Australia car trial since before the war, but it was Shepheard's offer of sponsorship and his endeavours to promote and advertise REDEX that enabled the trials to become a reality. These events were not races as such, nor were they 'rallies'.Rallies are timed to the second, not minute, and are more often conducted on closed roads, rather than open public roads. The winner of a rally is the fastest car from A to B. The REDEX events were termed ‘reliability

 trials’. Very strict rules ensured that vehicles available to the general public were used, with few modifications, and replacement of parts was strictly limited. Along the way, competitors were required to meet and comply with set times established between control points. Being more than five minutes early or late on their scheduled time of arrival at fixed controls attracted a one-point penalty for each minute discrepancy. A margin of three minutes late or early per hour was allowed for secret controls to allow for possible speedometer error, and discrepancies between officials' and competitors' watches.It was a nervous navigator's worst nightmare. The competitors who completed the trials with the lowest number of accumulated penalty points were declared the winners. Elimination sections, used to separate and test both competitors and cars, were a feature of the REDEX trials. Seemingly unrealistic and unobtainable times were often set between control points on these difficult sections. 1953 REDEX 1,000 Mile Trial

This 24-hour event was staged over 2 and 3 May, starting and ending in Sydney and ran through the Blue Mountains and the back roads behind the Jenolan Caves. It had been made the ‘hardest ever’ by torrential rain; <mask> won his Class A (395 pts lost) and came second overall to D.H. (Peter) Antill (305 pts lost), one of only nine to complete the course.

It became Evan Green's favourite story about his larrikin mate. Evan even opened his book Journeys with Gelignite Jack (first published in 1966 by Rigby) with the story:

"They christened me 'Gelignite <mask>' after the big bang in the tin outhouse at Townsville Showground", he is quoted as saying."Gelignite wouldn't hurt a flea out in the open. It's just the same as a cracker, only louder." <mask>, navigator and co-driver, was a construction and explosives expert.
