The Windows of the World is the title of the eighth studio album by Dionne Warwick, released August 1967 when the title cut was in the Top 40.
History
The single "The Windows of the World" had been recorded 13 April 1967 in the same session which produced Warwick's recording of "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me"1 also included on The Windows of the World album. The album featured four other recordings of Burt Bacharach/Hal David compositions, these four tracks all originating in an 9 April 1966 session and thus predating Warwick's December 1966 album release Here Where There is Love and being omitted from it; two of these four tracks had appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 the first being the December 1966 single release "Another Night" (#49) and the second "The Beginning of Loneliness" (#79) released March 1967 as the original A-side of the "Alfie".
The other two album tracks from the 9 April 1966 session were the B-side of the single "The Windows of the World" entitled "Walk Little Dolly" and a track released for the first time on the album The Windows of the World entitled "I Say a Little Prayer". Bacharach had an especial dislike for the last-named track having been unable to obtain the desired results instead finding the arrangement rushed despite doing ten takes - typically the tracks Bacharach recorded with Warwick required at most three takes often requiring only one - and it was Scepter Records owner Florence Greenberg rather than Bacharach who got "I Say a Little Prayer" released on the album The Windows of the World.
Construction of the 300 islands began in 2003, only to halt due to the 2008 financial crisis. Though 60 percent of the islands had been sold off to private contractors back in 2008, development on most of these islands has failed to initiate. As of late 2013, only two of the islands had been developed. In January, 2014, Kleindienst Group announced the launch of "The Heart of Europe" project; by February, 2014, one of Kleindienst Group's brands - JK Properties' announced in their monthly newsletter that the project was "well underway". The first of these series of islands will be Europe, Sweden and Germany with development led by Kleindienst Group, the Developer for The Heart of Europe project.
In a theological context, world usually refers to the material or the profane sphere, as opposed to the celestial, spiritual, transcendent or sacred. The "end of the world" refers to scenarios of the final end of human history, often in religious contexts.
World history is commonly understood as spanning the major geopolitical developments of about five millennia, from the first civilizations to the present.
The World (Chinese:世界; pinyin:Shìjiè) is a 2004Chinesefilm written and directed by Jia Zhangke. Starring Jia's muse, Zhao Tao, as well as Chen Taisheng, The World was filmed on and around an actual theme park located in Beijing, Beijing World Park, which recreates world landmarks at reduced scales for Chinese tourists. The World was Jia's first to gain official approval from the Chinese government. Additionally, it was the first of his films to take place outside of his home province of Shanxi.
The film premiered in competition at the 2004 Venice Film Festival on September 4, 2004, but failed to win the coveted Golden Lion, the festival's top award, which ultimately went to Mike Leigh's drama Vera Drake, but which Jia would win two years later with Still Life. The World also premiered in 2004 at the New York Film Festival and would go on to receive a limited release in New York City the following year on July 1, 2005.
Windows on the World a novel written by Frédéric Beigbeder was first published in France in 2003. The English translation by Frank Wynne was released March 30, 2005 by Miramax Books.
Plot summary
The novel alternates between two voices: the first Carthew Yorsten, a Texan realtor accompanied by his two sons (ages 7 and 9) who are having a tourist-style breakfast at Windows on the World restaurant on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center on the morning of the September 11 attacks; the second, the voice of the author writing the story while having breakfast at a restaurant atop a Paris skyscraper (Tour Montparnasse). Each chapter, averaging three pages a piece, represents one minute from 8.30 am - just before the time the building is hit at 8:46am - to 10.29, just after its collapse at 10:28am.
Film adaptation
Max Pugh a dual nationality French / English filmmaker is working on an "animated feature drama/documentary adaptation".
Prizes
The novel debuted at No 2 on the French best seller list and won the prestigious Prix Interallié in 2003.

The Windows Of The World by Isaac Hayes from Live at the Sahara
Live At The Sahara Tahoe. The Black Moses of Soul was at the peak of his powers when he and his orchestra made this two-disc document on November 26, 1972 before an effusive Lake Tahoe audience. Hayes pulled out all the stops--singing, rapping, and playing piano, organ, alto saxophone, vibraharp, and tambourine. And not only did he serve up some of his own hits, including "Theme from Shaft," but he lent his soulful touch to a number of tunes he never tackled in the studio, among them the Doors' "Light My Fire," Bill Withers's "Use Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine," Carole King's "It's Too Late," T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Monday," and the Roberta Flack hit "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."

The Windows of the World - Dionne Warwick sings Bacharach, Hal David
Dionne Warwick calls The Windows of the World my favorite song that they've ever written (referring to Bacharach/David) A strong statement to be sure but understandable; it's one of Burt Bacharach's most sweet and aching melodies, containing one of Hal David's most direct, political statements. "It was kind of our soft protest song," Dionne continues. "It was during the Vietnam War. There was just a lot of confusion going on in the world. And Hal David, I think, wrote probably one of the most poignant lyrics ever. It was something that had to be said. And still has to be said." "We were right in the middle of that terrible war," David says. "I have two sons, so it was very much on my mind.

Dionne Warwick calls The Windows of the World my favorite song that they've ever written (referring to Bacharach/David) A strong statement to be sure but understandable; it's one of Burt Bacharach's most sweet and aching melodies, containing one of Hal David's most direct, political statements. "It was kind of our soft protest song," Dionne continues. "It was during the Vietnam War. There was just a lot of confusion going on in the world. And Hal David, I think, wrote probably one of the most poignant lyrics ever. It was something that had to be said. And still has to be said." "We were right in the middle of that terrible war," David says. "I have two sons, so it was very much on my mind. My older son, Jim was a student at Boston University and was facing the possibility of being taken into the army." The song is hushed and crystalline, with acoustic guitars sweetly weaving around each other. The song indeed sounds "covered in rain"; the quiet production is priceless, although Burt (ever the second-guesser) later feared he had made the song too subtle. The Bacharach/David/Warwick team was disappointed in the song's minor showing on the pop charts. "I thought it would be bigger than it was," David admits. "I was very close to that song. I just loved it. I still love it."

The Windows of the World is the title of the eighth studio album by Dionne Warwick, released August 1967 when the title cut was in the Top 40.
History
The single "The Windows of the World" had been recorded 13 April 1967 in the same session which produced Warwick's recording of "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me"1 also included on The Windows of the World album. The album featured four other recordings of Burt Bacharach/Hal David compositions, these four tracks all originating in an 9 April 1966 session and thus predating Warwick's December 1966 album release Here Where There is Love and being omitted from it; two of these four tracks had appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 the first being the December 1966 single release "Another Night" (#49) and the second "The Beginning of Loneliness" (#79) released March 1967 as the original A-side of the "Alfie".
The other two album tracks from the 9 April 1966 session were the B-side of the single "The Windows of the World" entitled "Walk Little Dolly" and a track released for the first time on the album The Windows of the World entitled "I Say a Little Prayer". Bacharach had an especial dislike for the last-named track having been unable to obtain the desired results instead finding the arrangement rushed despite doing ten takes - typically the tracks Bacharach recorded with Warwick required at most three takes often requiring only one - and it was Scepter Records owner Florence Greenberg rather than Bacharach who got "I Say a Little Prayer" released on the album The Windows of the World.
Move over sun and you, give me some sky I've got some wings, I'm eager to try I may be unknown but wait 'til I've flown You're gonna hear from me Make me some room, you people up there On top of the world, I'll meet you, I swear I'm staking my claim, remember my name You're gonna hear from me Fortune smiles on the road before me I'm a fortune's child Listen world, you can't ignore me I've got a song that longs to be played Raise up my flag, begin my parade Then watch the world over, start coming up clover That's how it's gonna be Fortune smiles on the road out there before me And I'm fortune's child Listen world, you can't ignore me I've got a song that longs to be played Raise up my flag, begin my parade Then watch the world over, start coming up clover That's how it's gonna be, you'll see You're gonna hear from [?] You're gonna hear from me
