Le Soleil et le Vent: Une Fable d'Ésope
No full textI knew this book from its origin, The Contest Between the Sun and the Wind: An Aesop's Fable published by August House in 2008. Like its original, this French version follows the correct version of the fable. Forest tells the whole story well. The art does a good job of matching the two forces, e.g., when they together form a circle on the title-page. Gaber can use two pages together for a landscape view, as when the man bends with the wind, or for a portrait view on the following pages, when the wind blows harder and the man holds onto his coat. Here there is no contact or interchange between the two rounds; the wind simply blusters off. The man in the sunshine not only unbuttons his coat. He also sings out loud. Finally, he takes off his coat and sits in a shady spot. The wind returns and tells the sun that he cannot imagine that the sun could do any better than he did. The sun shows him the man sitting and playing his flute. How did you FORCE him to take off his coat! The sun answers that he won his way through gentleness. When the wind opines that there must have been a trick, the sun offers to show him the don and the choix that did it. The story wisely does not give the wind's answer. The author adds only The Sun just smiled…. This lovely book is dedicated to tous les Gens de paix.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchRacontée par Heather Forest; traduction de l'anglais par Julie Guinar
August House Little Folk
No full textI have several other texts done by Heather Forest, but I believe that this is both my first book by Susan Gaber and my first book published in 2008. It follows the correct version of the fable when it has the sun say Let us see who can take the coat off of that man on the road. Forest continues to tell the story well. The text moves into occasional rhyme, as when the wind proclaims: I'll SMASH him against the trees!/I'll take his coat off with ease! The art does a good job of matching the two forces, e.g., when they together form a circle on the title-page. Gaber can use two pages together for a landscape view, as when the man bends with the wind, or for a portrait view on the following pages, when the wind blows harder and the man holds onto his coat.

Finally, he takes off his coat and sits in a shady spot. The wind returns and tells the sun that he cannot imagine that the sun could do any better than he did. The sun shows him the man sitting and playing his flute. How did you FORCE him to take off his coat! The sun answers that he won his way through gentleness. When the wind opines that there must have been a trick, the sun offers to show him the choice and the skill that did it. The story wisely does not give the wind's answer. The author adds only The Sun just smiled….

No full textAu-delà de la traduction. Chanter Jacques Brel en italien: Giorgio Gaber, I borghesi (1971)
No full textThis article analyses Jacques Brel’s influence on Giorgio Gaber’s LP I borghesi, published in 1971. After defining Gaber’s role in the early cantautori movement and his stance in the political debate of the late sixties and seventies, this paper mainly focuses on the songs adapted from Brel’s “Ces gens-là”, “Les bourgeois” and “Jef”. The fact that neither Gaber nor his co-author Sandro Luporini spoke French fluently allows us to investigate the fact that (and the ways in which) the adaptation of a song can draw inspiration from music and interpretation rather than the mere translation of the lyrics
Comments on “Precipitation kinetics of Al–1.12Mg2Si–0.35Si and Al–1.07Mg2Si–0.33Cu alloys”
No full textIt is shown that in analysing DSC data of precipitation reactions in Al–1.12Mg2Si–0.35Si, Al–1.07Mg2Si–0.33Cu and Al–1.0Mg2Si–0.5Ag alloys in work by Gaber et al., accurate values for the activation energies are obtained by applying the method derived by the present author (the Type B-1.92 method). Values obtained from other analysis methods reported by Gaber et al. are less accurate. Averaging activation energies obtained by different methods introduces inaccuracies and obscures these inaccuracies, especially if the set of methods applied includes highly inaccurate ones, such as the Ozawa and Takhor methods
Charged Higgs contribution to B¯s→ϕπ0 and B¯s→ϕρ0
No full textAbstractWe study the decay modes B¯s→ϕπ0 and B¯s→ϕρ0 within the frameworks of two-Higgs doublet models type-II and type-III. We adopt in our study Soft Collinear Effective Theory as a framework for the calculation of the amplitudes. We derive the contributions of the charged Higgs mediation to the weak effective Hamiltonian governing the decay processes in both models. Moreover, we analyze the effect of the charged Higgs mediation on the Wilson coefficients of the electroweak penguins and on the branching ratios of B¯s→ϕπ0 and B¯s→ϕρ0 decays. We show that within two-Higgs doublet models type-II and type-III the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the electroweak penguins can be enhanced due to the contributions from the charged Higgs mediation leading into enhancement in the branching ratios of B¯s→ϕπ0 and B¯s→ϕρ0 decays. We find that, within two-Higgs doublet models type-II, the enhancement in the branching ratio of B¯s→ϕπ0 cannot exceed 18% with respect to the SM predictions. For the branching ratio of B¯s→ϕρ0, we find that the charged Higgs contribution in this case is small where the branching ratio of B¯s→ϕρ0 can be enhanced or reduced by about 4% with respect to the SM predictions. For the case of the two-Higgs doublet models type-III we show that the branching ratio of B¯s→ϕπ0 can be enhanced by about a factor 2 of its value within two-Higgs doublet models type-II. However, no sizeable enhancement with respect to the SM predictions can be obtained for both B¯s→ϕπ0 and B¯s→ϕρ0 decays
