    A NNUAL R EPORT 2003 Americas Society Americas Council of the Americas Council Dear Friends: I am delighted to report that the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society took unprecedented steps in 2003 to renew and reinvigorate our commitment to our mission and our members. Last August, Susan Segal was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Susan had been a member of the Board of Directors for eight years when I charged her with the task of chairing a Strategic Planning Committee. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed by our Board. Thus, it made sense to appoint her to implement it. At a time of profound change in the Americas, Susan has the energy and the vision to assure that the organization continues to play a leading role in affecting the central concerns of the region. Since the latter half of 2003, we have taken significant steps to execute our new strategic plan. Our first priority was to assemble a first-class senior management team open to new ideas and committed to an efficiently run organization capable of top-tier execution. Under this team’s leadership, the Council of the Americas and the Americas Society have made significant strides in accomplishing our mission of being the preeminent U.S.-based not-for-profit organization solely committed to addressing current foreign policy, trade, economic, political, and cultural issues of the Western Hemisphere. We are very excited about our direction and remain steadfast in our desire to exercise significant influence on hemispheric policy on behalf of our members and in support of our core values, which include democracy, the rule of law, and free trade.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution
    Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution Introduction In his poem, The Second Coming (1919), William Butler Yeats captured the moment we are now experiencing: Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. As we see the deterioration of the institutions created and fostered after the Second World War to create a climate in which peace and prosperity could flourish in Europe and beyond, it is important to understand the role played by diplomacy in securing the stability and strengthening the shared values of freedom and democracy that have marked this era for the nations of the world. It is most instructive to read the Inaugural Address of President John F. Kennedy, in which he encouraged Americans not only to do good things for their own country, but to do good things in the world. The creation of the Peace Corps is an example of the kind of spirit that put young American volunteers into some of the poorest nations in an effort to improve the standard of living for people around the globe. We knew we were leaders; we knew that we had many political and economic and social advantages. There was an impetus to share this wealth. Generosity, not greed, was the motivation of that generation. Of course, this did not begin with Kennedy. It was preceded by the Marshall Plan, one of the only times in history that the conqueror decided to rebuild the country of the vanquished foe.

  • Alessandro Cortini + Suzanne Ciani
    Alessandro Cortini + Suzanne Ciani Start time: 8pm Approximate running time two hours including interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Ruth Kilpatrick talks to Alessandro Cortini and Suzanne Ciani about synths, visuals and career longevity. Volume Massimo is the latest project from world renowned musician, composer and producer Alessandro Cortini. Recently released via Mute Records, his eighth solo album is a follow up to the widely acclaimed Avanti in 2017, adding to his already prolific body of work. Already gaining much praise, Alessandro explained a little of his ongoing inspiration: ‘One of the most appealing aspects of instrumental music to me is the sense of complicity with the listener. In a more typical song-oriented composition you tend to be presented with clear meaning, dictated for the most part by the lyrics. With instrumental music, the listener is offered an emotional canvas, rough and undefined, with room for personal interpretation. It’s almost like the listener is called in as part of the compositional process…’ With a wide range of collaborations and releases behind him, from previous solo work to composing for video games and playing in Nine Inch Nails amongst others, Alessandro can turn his hand to any project he chooses. For such a varied career to date, adaptability appears to be key to longevity. ‘I cherish the ability to go from one musical experience to the other. If I were to be stuck to doing my own records only, I think it would mutate to a realisation that it’s a “job” and therefore harder to keep it natural and spontaneous.’ Having recently settled in Berlin, this Barbican performance is the first of his European tour dates.

  • Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine Free
    FREE NINE INCH NAILS PRETTY HATE MACHINE PDF Daphne Carr | 144 pages | 03 May 2011 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826427892 | English | London, United Kingdom Nine Inch Nails - Wikipedia The album consists of reworked tracks from the Purest Feeling demo tape, as well as songs composed after its original recording. The album, which features a heavily synth-driven electronic sound blended with industrial and rock elements, bears little resemblance to the band's subsequent work. Conversely, much like the band's later Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine, the album's lyrics contain themes of angst, betrayal, and lovesickness. The record was promoted with the singles " Down in It ", " Head Like a Hole ", and " Sin ", as well as the accompanying tour. A remastered edition was released in Although the record was successful, reaching No. Pretty Hate Machine was later certified triple-platinum by RIAAbecoming one of the first independently released albums to do so, and was included on several lists of the best releases of the s.

With the help of manager John Malm, Jr. Reznor received contract offers from many of the labels, but eventually signed with TVT Recordswho were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records. Much like his recorded demo, Reznor refused to record the album with a conventional band, recording Pretty Hate Machine mostly by himself. I became completely withdrawn.
