Massimo Lo Jacono was an Italian science fiction and fantasy writer born in 1937. In 1963 he was one of the editors of the science fiction magazine Futuro. In the first issue of the magazine he published the story L'ultima finzione di Basilide under an pseudonym. The story was greatly appreciated by Argentine writer Juan Rodolfo Wilcock, who determined to show it to Jorge Luis Borges.
Lo Jacono was an active force in the science fiction field mostly in the 1960s: apart from those published in Futuro, his stories appeared, often under the aliases Megàlos Diékonos and M. J. Mauritius, in Galaxy and Oltre il Cielo, in the anthologies Interplanet, and in various newspapers.

Work Profiling System---Using the Work Profiling System, the Bill Priest Institute can help your organization evaluate your hiring needs, profile your jobs and scientifically match those needs with qualified applicants.
ISO 9000 Implementation---Your competitors enjoy a preferred status with customers, have increased bid opportunities, and can more readily seek sales abroad. Many companies want ISO 9000 certification but have been discouraged by the high cost of using outside resources to become prepared. Others that try to prepare with internal resources have found the documentation process overwhelming. The Bill J. Priest Institute for Economic Development, in association with QRX Incorporated and accredited registrars, offers a cost-effective ISO 9000 program to help you improve your company's competitive position. Combining training sessions and workshops, benchmarking with peer groups, coaching and feedback from internationally recognized ISO/QS 9000 experts, the program ensures measurable improvements in your company's processes - even before you gain certification. With no prior ISO 9000 experience, your company can become certified in less than one year.
Fast Track Business Software Workshops---The Bill J. Priest Institute for Economic Development offers Fast Track computer software workshops at the Universities Center at Dallas (UCD), conveniently located in downtown Dallas. Specially designed to meet business needs, individuals or small groups of employees learn the latest skills in the software applications they use the most while missing only one day of work.
