I confess: I love Milla Jovovich, becaus she is one of the hottest women in the world, just to 1997, the first time I saw "The Fifth Element", a film by Luc Besson, 1997.
Tall, beautiful, blonde, blue eyes, is the typical Nordic beauty.
With Milla Jovovich want to open this new tag to the blog, which will be called "The Hottest Women in the World".
Milla Jovovich turns 40
Today Milla has 40 years (was born Dec. 17, 1975) and see how You may of course is even more beautiful. Milla is also definitely more mature, now has two children, had with her husband and director Paul WS Anderson.
As a good the Italian male, I presume to know, or rather, to distinguish a beautiful woman, a woman who is considered to be beautiful, just because of the great Major, have decided that the woman in question is considered beautiful.
Milla was the main actress of my erotic fantasies for a long time, I do not know why, but I think the thing, is due to an emotional factor. Milla Jovovich is the prototype of a beautiful woman, that years of human evolution there has inculcated.
Some time ago, I wrote about Chloe Moretz, Emma Watson
and Aishwarya Rai, the Indian actress who now, after marriage and childbirth is no longer as before, but Milla who has a daughter?
Milla is beautiful, as you can see in the photos, and the video below...
Below the amazing photos of Mount Etna, the eruption of volcano on December 2015.
For foreign friends who do not know this amazing volcano, we say that it is not dangerous. Etna does great eruptions, but usually there are neither dead nor injured, only a grand sight to behold.
Of course you have to be at a safe distance from where you can take pictures like this, photos that leave amazed.
World Heritage in Italy
L'aeroporto di Catania è stato chiuso per precauzione ieri sera, intanto godiamoci le incredibili immagini che ci arrivano dalla Sicilia, da questo Vulcano famosissimo in tutto il mondo, cantato da poeti e letterati di tute le epoche.
Il Vulcano Etna ha deciso anche quest'anno di deliziarci con il suo spettacolo pirotecnico proprio quando era già ricoperto di neve.
Andare in vacanza a Sharm El Sheik é pericoloso, ieri un aereo russo con a bordo 224 persone di cui tanti bambini é stato abbattuto da l'ISIS, come loro stessi rivendicano in un comunicato.
Anche se Egitto e Russia hanno subito smentito un possibile attacco terroristico Isis, le prove che si hanno finora, è che questo aereo si è spezzato in 2, quindi o é stato abbattuto da un missile, o è scoppiata una bomba a bordo , come dicono degli esperti di volo.
La compagnia aerea russa coinvolta, ha sospeso tutti i voli da e per l'Egitto.
Aggiornamento7 novembre attentato aereo di linea russo a Sharm El Sheik:
Una settimana fa' avevamo parlato di 'probabile attentato', oggi la notizia é che la scatola nera e reperti trovati sul posto fanno pensare tutto ad un attentato, sarebbe stata una bomba esplosa a bordo, nel vano dei bagagli messa probabilmente da un'inserviente legato ai terroristi estremisti islamici, dei fedeli dello Stato Islamico che per vendicarsi degli attacchi aerei subiti nelle scorse settimane in Siria da parte della Russia, hanno ucciso 224 civili innocenti.
Tutti i voli occidentali per e da Sharm El Sheik sono stati cancellati fino a nuova data.
Quello che é certo, è che ci vorranno mesi per sapere la verità, ma nel frattempo converrebbe ripensare alla vacanza, se si é pensato di andare a fare il bagno a Sharm El Sheik questo Natale.
D'altronde ci sono tante benne città da visitare in Italia e decidere per rimanere in Italia rispetto che partire per l'Egitto , sarebbe tutto a favore della Nostra economia.
Fendi sponsorised the Trevi Fountain restore; yesterday, afetr 17 month restoration costing more than 2 millions euro, Trevi Fountain open to pubblic.
Trevi Fountain builded on 1762 by Nicola Salvi , in Baroque style is one of most famous fountain in the world.
The legends of Trevi Fountain, the most famous fountain in the world says:
In 19 BC thirsty Roman soldiers were guided by a young girl to a source of pure water thirteen kilometers from the city of Rome. The discovery of the source led Augustus to commission the construction of a twenty-two kilometer aqueduct leading into the city, which was named Aqua Virgo, or Virgin Waters, in honor of the legendary young girl. The aqueduct served the hot Baths of Agrippa, and Rome, for over four hundred years.
You should know that there are many legends about the Trevi Fountain: according to the first, if you throw a coin in the fountain placing your right hand on your left shoulder, your return to Rome guaranteed.
The other legend that inspired the movie "Three Coins in the Fountain of Trevi", wants that, if you throw three coins in the fountain the first will ensure your return to Rome, the second will bring a new romance, and the third will lead to marriage!
Naples is a beautiful city in southern Italy, built between the sea and the volcano Vesuvius.
Naples has become today, compared to how it was yesterday, like many cities in the world.
Unfortunately the desire to build palaces, houses, made of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a densely populated city, but less good in past years.
Marino é sotto attacco mediatico del PD, ma come sindaco di Roma ha fatto anche molte cose buone.
Anche se, per la verità non ci vengono in mente cose cattive che abbia fatto Marino.
Marino non é indagato da nessuna Procura della Repubblica, come invece il suo predecessore , il quale é stato indagato più volte, sia da giovane come militante neo fascista che più tardi, come politico, in particolare é in attesa di giudizio per presunto finanziamento illecito, processo che si svolgerà nel 2016.
Marino potrà stare antipatico, ma quello che sta accadendo in queste ore é palese: vogliono toglierli la poltrona per metterci...
Chi vuole Renzi al posto di Marino?
E' Questa una buona domanda, se si va ad elezioni, chi vincera?
Di sicuro non il Movimento 5 Stelle, visto che non spende 1 euro per la campagna elettorale che sarà rovente.
Probabilmente torneranno gli stessi faccendieri che negli ultimi 20 anni hanno saccheggiato ROMA, grazie al patto di ferro tra PD e Destra italiana per spartirsi gli appalti e mangiare, mangiare fino a scoppiare... Ecco perché la Mafia della Capitale non vuole Marino come Sindaco:
Found the tomb of Lisa Gherardini, the model of da Vinci, comes the confirmation by science, the muse of the Italian genius Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" or "Gioconda".
Every year millions of visitors flock around the casket dark, in a room of the Louvre museum in Paris, it protects it from possible attacks by vandals.
And scrutinize its serene and enigmatic beauty.
Icon of Italian Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, the proverbial image of Italian beauty, the Mona Lisa has now not only a name (already known, that of Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo) but a tomb.
Apparently it confirmed from the analysis of carbon 14 dating that the bones found in the convent of St. Ursula in Florence are compatible, for dating the age of death and location of burial, with the remains of Lisa del Giocondo Gherdardini.
Grande svolta sulla questione tasse alla Chiesa: addirittura Papa Francesco è intervenuto dicendo che se un convento lavora come se fosse un albergo o un ristorante, é giusto che paghi le tasse.
Un duro colpo per tanti conventi italiani trasformati ormai in ostelli, e c'è da giurare che questa decisione non andrà giù a tante persone legate al Vaticano, nonché ai gestori di questi 'ospizi' che in realtà sono diventati oggi dei veri e propri alberghi ed Hotel.
Papa Francesco: "Un collegio religioso è esente dalle imposte, ma se lavora come un hotel è giusto che paghi le imposte".
Sono queste le parole che Papa Francesco ha rilasciato ad una radio portoghese, Radio Renascenca.
Pochi mesi fa, un decreto legge molto ambiguo era stato firmato dal Ministro dell'Economia Padoan, diceva che i conventi che facevano attività alberghiera 'non continuativa' possono essere esentati dalle tasse.
Bisogna ammettere che Papa Francesco si é rilevato più di sinistra di questo PD, che ormai di sinistra non ha più nulla.
Ora sarebbe bene che il Governo Renzi prenda atto di questa posizione politica del Capo di Stato Vaticano, ed agisca di conseguenza, 'aggiustando' questa legge che - di fatto - non fa pagare le tasse a chi dovrebbe.
Incredibile: documenti dall'India depositati al tribunale del mare di Amburgo, scagionano i 2 marò.
Si tratta di referti autoptici, documenti consegnati dall'India che dicono che i proiettili trovati nel corpo di uno dei pescatori indiani morti, é un'ogiva con circonferenza 24 millimetri nella parte più grande e 20 nella parte più piccola, incopatibili con le munizioni NATO 5,56 millimetri in dotazione ai marines italiani.
Ma c'é di più, in questa documentazione consegnata dagli stessi organi giudiziari indiani, che metterebbero nei guai l'India.
Today, I was at Hypogeum of the Volumnus family, a tomb of an important Etruscan family of the second century BC, at Perugia.
Enter at this museum, which is open all day from 9 am to 7 pm during the summer, it is a surprise.
You can visit the full-fledged family tomb carved into the tuff - underground - almost 23 centuries ago ', you can admire many urns which are carved scenes from Greek mythology, and where were placed the ashes of the dead, after they had been burned.
In the museum next Hypogeum of Voumni, you can also see the discoveries made around the area of Perugia other Etruscan, as you can see in the photos.
A pleasant surprise has been the at the ticket, just 3 Euros !!
10 things you did not know on the Etruscans:
Etruscans are the ancient Italians: they are the Etruscans and not the Romans (as many believes) the old Italian. They 'just by the Etruscans and the ancient Romans took much of the culture and traditions.
The origins of the Etruscans: it is a historical and archaeological topic debated for at least 20 centuries. Since the time of ancient Romans it was discussing the origin of the Etruscans. Today we know that it was an indigenous population that was deeply influenced by Greek culture.
If you find an ancient city in central Italy in the hills, it is Etruscan: the first Etruscan cities are formed around 1000 BC, at the top of hills. It 'a lifestyle completely different from their ancestors Villanovan, who built villages in the plains. The construction of the city in the hills, is a way to protect the population from possible military confrontations.
Only princes fought in the war of etruscans! Here is something very special. In the first centuries of this civilization, when there was a dispute between two cities, not all citizens were called to arms. Usually they faced the 'champions', taken from the nobility of the two cities. The 2 'champions' fighting 'naked'. The fighting could be the first blood or death. These 'challenges between champions', were taken verbatim from Greek civilization (as 90% of the life of the Etruscans, on the other hand).
The famous 'Roman arch', is Etruscan. Do you have doubts? Go and see to the Perugia famous "Etruscan Arch".
The fasces were etruscans. The famous symbol of power at the time of the ancient Romans and the symbol of fascism, is not roman origins, is etruscan.
The gladiatorial games invented by Etruscans. Yes, it is not of Roman origin, but Etruscan. They were called the 'funeral games'.
The Etruscans loved the Spa, and have also built some.
The Etruscan banquet: we find it in many representations in the tombs. The Etruscan banquet is different from the Roman one, as there were also in the women of the family. For this reason, the ancient Romans considered the Etruscan women especially sexually uninhibited. In some graves, you can see teenagers serving wine, completely naked. The ancient Romans said that at banquets Etruscans were also being held orgies.
The Etruscans were great cooks: [1] at the time there was no sugar as we know it today, but even the tomato, potato and corn, which came from the Americas centuries later. The Etruscans, however, cultivated grapes, olives and honey. In practice, the honey used it as we use today sugar. The Etruscans were the staple food grains, fish, fruits, vegetables and venison, truffles, mushrooms, artichokes, eggs,. The Etruscans were preparing the dishes very special for their endless banquets. The Etruscans did not kill horses, dolphins and eagles, they considered sacred. But eating chickens, cows, sheep, pheasants, rabbits, hares, deer, roe deer, brown bear.
Oggi sono stato all'Ipogeo dei Volumni, cioé una tomba etrusca; specie di cimitero di una importante famiglia etrusca del II° sec. Avanti Cristo, presso Perugia.
Entrare presso questo museo, aperto tutto il giorno dalle 9 alle 7 di sera durante l'estate, é una piacevole sorpresa.
Si può visitare la vera e proprio tomba famigliare scavata nel tufo - sottoterra - quasi 23 secoli fa', si possono ammirare molte urne cinerarie dove sono scolpiti scene della mitologia greca, e dove venivano messe le ceneri dei morti, dopo che erano stati bruciati.
Nel museo accanto all'Ipogeo dei Volumni, si possono vedere anche i ritrovamenti fatti intorno alla zona di Perugia di altri reperti etruschi, come potete vedere nelle foto.
Una bella sorpresa é stata il presso del biglietto, di appena 3 euro!!
10 Cose che non sapevi sugli etruschi:
Gli etruschi sono gli antichi italiani: sono gli etruschi e non i romani ( come molti pensano) gli antichi italiani. E' proprio dagli etruschi che gli antichi romani presero gran parte della cultura e tradizioni.
Le origini degli etruschi: é un argomento storico ed archeologico dibattuto da almeno 20 secoli. Già dal tempo degli antichi romani si discuteva sull'origine degli etruschi. Oggi sappiamo che era una popolazione autoctona che fu profondamente influenzata dalla cultura greca.
Se trovi una antica città in Centro Italia in collina, é etrusca: le prime città etrusche si formano intorno al 1.000 Avanti Cristo, in cima a colline. E' uno stile di vita completamente diverso dai loro antenati villanoviani, che costruivano villaggi in pianura. La costruzione di città in cima alle colline, è un modo per proteggere la popolazione da eventuali scontri bellici.
In guerra ci vanno solo i principi: ecco una cosa molto particolare. Nei primi secoli di questa civiltà, quando c'era una disputa tra 2 città, non tutti i cittadini erano chiamati alle armi. Di solito si fronteggiavano dei 'campioni', presi tra la nobiltà delle 2 città. I 2 'campioni' combattevano 'nudi'. Il combattimento poteva essere al primo sangue o all'ultimo sangue. Queste 'sfide tra campioni', erano prese pari pari dalla civiltà greca ( come il 90% della vita degli etruschi, d'altronde).
Il famoso 'arco romano', in realtà é etrusco. Avete dei dubbi? Andate a vedere a Perugia il celeberrimo "Arco Etrusco".
Il fascio littorio, famoso simbolo di potere al tempo degli antichi romani e simbolo stesso del fascismo,
I giochi gladiatori li hanno inventati gli etruschi. Ebbene sì, non é di origine romana, ma etrusca. Si chiamavano i 'giochi funebri'.
Gli etruschi amavano le terme, e ne hanno anche costruite alcune.
Il banchetto etrusco: lo troviamo in molte rappresentazioni nelle tombe. Il banchetto etrusco è differente da quello romano, in quanto vi partecipavano anche le donne della famiglia. Per questo motivo gli antichi romani consideravano le donne etrusche particolarmente disinibite sessualmente. In alcune tombe, si possono vedere degli adolescenti che servono il vino , completamente nudi. Gli antichi romani dicevano che nei banchetti etruschi si svolgevano anche delle orge.
Gli etruschi erano dei grandi cuochi: [1]all'epoca non esisteva lo zucchero come Noi oggi lo conosciamo, ma nemmeno il pomodoro, patata e mais, che arrivarono dalle Americhe secoli dopo. Gli etruschi però coltivavano la vite, l'olivo e il miele. In pratica il miele lo usavano come Noi oggi usiamo lo zucchero. La base dell'alimentazione etrusca erano i cereali, il pesce, la frutta, gli ortaggi e la cacciagione, tartufi, funghi, carciofi, uova, . Gli etruschi preparavano dei piatti molto particolari per i loro infiniti banchetti. Gli etruschi non uccidevano cavalli, delfini e aquile, che consideravano sacri. mangiavano però polli, mucche, pecore, fagiani, conigli, lepri, cervi, caprioli, orso bruno.
Ecco un'altra storia di burocrazia tutta italiana. Un disoccupato si è visto arrivare una cartella esattoriale da 161 milioni di euro da Equitalia.
In teoria non si tratta nemmeno di uno sbaglio, perché sono anni che Equitalia vuole tutti questi soldi da quest'uomo di cinquanta anni, ex operaio ora disoccupato di Cermetate, in Provincia di Como.
Un debito di 161 milioni di euro con Equitalia, e ora?
L'incredibile vicenda, nasce addirittura nel 2007, quando quest'uomo ancora lavorava come operaio.
Un bèl giorno si vede arrivare a casa una cartella esattoriale da 9,6 milioni di euro.
L'uomo rimane stupito, non ha niente che possa valere un mancato pagamento di tale cifra, va quindi presso gli sportelli di Equitalia per capire a cosa si poteva riferire questo debito, ma poi la vicenda finisce lì e lui non se ne interessa più.
Fino all'altra settimana, quando gli arriva a casa questa cartella esattoriale di Equitalia, in cui c'é scritto che deve pagare la somma di 161.796.873 euro e 83 centesimi.
RIMINI (Italy): He was traveling in the Italian Highway n.14 between Rimini and Riccione on a Golf Cart, the minivehicle that you use for travel in golf: a prince of the UAE, accompanied by staff, explained that the Traffic Police after reaching Rimini, not knowing how to return to the hotel, he has enabled the browser of the phone.
The Emir, after taking a ticket at the toll booth, it is well placed on Highway No. 14 south.
Italian police, did a fine for the circulation of vehicles is not allowed on the highway.
30,4 milioni di italiani in ferie nel 2015, con un incremento dell'8,6% rispetto il 2014, in barba alla crisi economica.
Il Turismo quest'anno torna a far soldi, secondo Federalberghi ci sarebbe più di 1 italiano su 2 in vacanza.
Un bel segnale che significa solo una cosa: la crisi economica sta passando e finalmente anche l'economia italiana, dopo 7 anni di patimenti tornerà a crescere.
E' in fase avanzata il progetto per una eurotassa che la Germania si è già detta disposta a versare in un'apposito fondo che verrà costituito.
Dietro al progetto della prima eurotassa pagata direttamente dai cittadini europei, c'é il Ministro delle Finanze tedesco Schaeuble e l'ex premier italiano Mario Monti.
Sarebbe una novità epocale avere il sistema delle imposte condiviso per tutti i paesi europei, anche se in parte. Come funzionerà l'eurotassa?
Addio tassa su prima casa
Lavoro e Laureati in Italia
Quanto Taglieranno le Pensioni
Aumenta il numero dei ricchi
Gli studi che sono stati fatti dagli esperti di imposte tedeschi, ci dicono che l'eurotassa dovrà essere pagata direttamente dai cittadini europei, e potrà essere così pagata: o tramite un aumento percentuale dell'IRPEF, o un aumento dell'IVA, oppure facendo una vera e propria tassa personale nuova di zecca.
L'eurotassa, servirà ad aiutare economicamente e finanziariamente quegli stati che si trovano in crisi.
La notizia é stata data in esclusiva oggi su Der Spiegel, un organo di informazione tedesco molto serio:
This is one of the most amazing ghost town: Civita di Bagnoregio.
It 'a small town far from the main roads, between Umbria and Lazio, in the province of Viterbo and about 20 kilometers from the famous Orvieto.
Just like Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio was certainly inhabited by the Etruscans, but certainly before it was inhabited by primitive peoples who were in that area fertile.
2,500 years ago, we were the first geological problems that are still very visible.
These landslides are slowly crumbling all around to keep the Civita di Bagnoregio and also the hill where the city.
For this reason, the inhabitants have moved slowly over the centuries a few hundred meters away, where a new city has sprung. Civita di Bagnoregio is inhabited by very few people and can be reached only on foot; a bridge connects it to 'stable ground', as you can see from the photographs.
The little House in the World is in Piano Battaglia, a little village in Sicily, near Palermo.
This weird house is uninhabited, and was built to spite.
You don't believe it?
Instead, it is so, it was the '70s, when the owner of the land, to spite his neighbor (sister's husband) has materials come, this house, in order to remove the whole way, to the house of his relative.
Ieri il premier Matteo Renzi, ha parlato all'assemblea del PD sul piano che Lui ed i suoi collaboratori hanno stilato per i prossimi anni per rilanciare l'economia.
Renzi ha fatto un elenco dei provvedimenti economici già fatti dal suo esecutivo passati, presenti e futuri.
Che sia più o meno merito del Governo Renzi, la ripresa dell'Economia italiana, poco importa al consumatore italiano.
L'uomo comune della strada, sta vedendo quello che ci dicono i numeri, cioé che una piccola ripresa inizia ad esserci, ripresa che fa ben sperare per tutti.
D'altronde i cicli economici così funzionano, dopo la crisi arriva la ripresa, e chi é al Governo dovrebbe prendersi la responsabilità delle crisi economiche e i meriti delle riprese economiche, questo al di là di chi in quel momento sta al potere, o al di là se Renzi può stare simpatico o meno ( a Noi sta proprio antipatico, ma questa è un'altra storia, sono solo Nostre opinioni che esulano dalla realtà dei numeri)...
Stop Tassa sulla Prima Casa, il programma di renzi per rilanciare l'economia italiana:
2014: 80 euro a chi guadagnava 1.500 euro al mese
2015: eliminato IRAP Costo del Lavoro
2016: eliminazione Tassa sulla Prima Casa, IMU Agricola ed IMU su imbullonati (cioé l'Imu dei macchinari imbullonati a terra, il che significa il 90% dei macchinari delle aziende, una tassa di cui Renzi diceva 'non sta in cielo né in terra' già mesi fa )
2017: interventi su IRES ed IRAP.
2018: interventi su scaglioni IRPEF e sulle Pensioni.
Lo sapevate che Angela Merkel é stata comunista? Angela Dorothea Kasner ( da sposata Merkel), è nata ad Amburgo nel 1954, anno in cui si è trasferita nella ex DDR, il padre pastore luterano, fu membro della gioventù hitleriana, come la quasi totalità dei giovani tedeschi di allora.
Pare che il padre e l'intera famiglia fossero sostenitori del regime comunista, in quanto all'epoca avevano ben 2 macchine e la possibilità di andare e venire dalla Germania Federale alla Germania Democratica ( privilegio concesso a pochissime persone, allora).
Crisi Grecia: cosa fare dei Nostri Risparmi
Fu proprio in questo periodo che si sposò con il primo marito, diventando frau Merkel, e divenne membro della Libera Gioventù Tedesca (praticamente l'organizzazione giovanile ufficiale del partito socialista della DDR, dove i giovani dovevano obbligatoriamente iscriversi, prima di potersi diplomare), nonché militò per un periodo anche all'Agitprop ( una sorta di MINCULPOP della DDR), cioé 'Dipartimento ideologico' dell'allora DDR.
In seguito, si iscrisse e si laureò in Fisica, con dottorato in fisica quantistica, ma fu solo nel 1989 che iniziò ad interessarsi attivamente di politica, con il Partito democratico, nel 1990 fu eletta al parlamento tedesco, il Bundestag.
L'Italia ha la minor percentuale di laureati rispetto la popolazione di tutta Europa. Anche se vogliamo paragonare l'Italia agli altri 34 membri dei paesi OCSE non ce la facciamo.
La nostra percentuale di laureati, è molto inferiore alla media di questi 34 stati, molto inferiore stiamo praticamente al terzultimo posto, solo Turchia e Brasile riescono a fare un pochino peggio di Noi.
Questi sconfortanti dati, la dicono lunga sulle sorti economiche del Nostro paese.
Per avere un'economia che tira, bisogna avere laureati.
Nel 2015 non si può pensare di avere una forte economia se la basiamo solo sul lavoro delle braccia.
Quando si parla di 'problemi strutturali dell'economia italiana', di solito non si riesce a capire bene cosa siano.
Di solito, ogni politico, o ogni partito tirano fuori problemi che poco hanno a che fare con la realtà.
Questi dati qui sotto, fanno notare come in un'economia globale avanzata in cui una laurea dovrebbe essere un elemento quasi indispensabile per selezionare un candidato ad un nuovo lavoro, l'Italia si classifichi come uno degli ultimi paesi sviluppati.
La Banca Popolare Cinese ha comprato quote di Monte dei Paschi di Siena ed Unicredit, i più grandi istituti finanziari italiani.
Ieri Consob ha chiuso per eccesso di ribasso le trattative di azioni di alcune banche italiane, tra cui proprio Unicredit e MPS, esposte con la Grecia.
I panzer cinesi però, non si sono certo lasciati impressionati da queste 'difficoltà' che evidentemente considerano transitorie, ed hanno continuato per la loro strada: investire in modo consistenze su quote di grandi realtà finanziarie occidentali.
Unicredit é uno dei principali gruppi creditizi nazionali, con un fatturato pari a 53 miliardi di euro ed un utile di 1,8 miliardi di euro ( al 1à trimestre 2013).
Monte dei Paschi di Siena, ha invece 3 miliardi di fatturato e 380 milioni di euro di utile netto nel 1° trimestre 2013.
With the crisis, Greece these days closed banks and ATMs. What can a foreign tourist in this beautiful Country?
How can a tourist keep moving?
Maybe we are a family of Italian tourists, who went two weeks, in a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea.
How can we get back? how can we do to eat, pay the hotel, pay the ferry?
Here are some simple tips for travellers, that in these days the Italian authorities are giving to all those who are in Greece:
Bring much money in cash: ATMs may have long lines, in fact for foreigners can still withdraw money if their bank account at a bank is not Greek. But it must be said that banks in Greece could find itself short of cash. From 9 July onwards, ie the day after the referendum, there will be more problems.
Inquire on strikes of transport: many strikes have been organized to protest against this crisis. Many planes or ferries may be firm, so try to inform you, before leaving.
Avoid demonstrations, if you are in Greece for tourism, better not to get involved in street demonstrations, which can also be interesting, but it could also end badly.
Take medicines from home: according to many news, in Greece pharmacies they would no longer have any medicines. If you have a particular disease, carry them away, maybe along with your personal insurance.
Before starting register on the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: usually is a practice that is not used for European countries, but Greece at this time, is a special case, then register it is very easy.
Con la crisi, la Grecia questi giorni ha chiuso le banche ed i bancomat. Cosa può fare un turista straniero in questo paese?
Come può un turista continuare a spostarsi?
Magari siamo una famiglia di turisti italiani, che siamo andati 2 settimane in una piccola isola greca del Mare Egeo.
Come possiamo fare a tornare? come possiamo fare per mangiare, pagare l'albergo, pagare il traghetto?
Ecco alcuni semplici consigli, che in questi giorni le autorità italiane stanno dando a tutti coloro che si trovano in Grecia:
Portare molto denaro in contante: i bancomat potrebbero avere lunghe file, infatti per i stranieri è possibile ancora ritirare denaro, se il loro conto corrente bancario è presso una banca non greca. Però va detto che le banche in Grecia potrebbero trovarsi a corto di soldi contanti. Dal 9 luglio in poi, cioé il giorno dopo del referendum, ci potranno essere ancora più problemi.
Informarsi sugli scioperi dei mezzi di trasporto: sono stati indetti molti scioperi per protestare contro questa crisi. Molti aerei o traghetti potrebbero essere fermi, quindi cercate di informarvi , prima di partire.
Evitare le manifestazioni di piazza, se siete in Grecia per turismo, meglio non farsi coinvolgere in manifestazioni di piazza, che possono essere anche interessanti, ma che potrebbero anche finire male.
Portarsi le medicine da casa: secondo molte notizie, in Grecia le farmacie non avrebbero più tutte le medicine. Se avete una malattia particolare, portatele via, magari insieme alla Vostra assicurazione personale.
Prima di partire registratevi sul sito del Ministero degli Esteri: di solito é una pratica che non si usa per i paesi europei, ma la Grecia in questo momento, è un caso particolare, quindi registrarsi è molto facile.
Io calcio fiorentino ( o calcio in costume) é una delle più antiche tradizioni italiane, ed è famosa in tutto il mondo.
Tutti sanno che il Calcio Fiorentino é uno sport antico, violento, ma poi, Tu conosci veramente il calcio Fiorentino?
Ecco alcune cose che non sapevi di questo incredibile sport.
The calcio Fiorentino ( Florentine soccer, or calcio in costume) is one of the oldest traditions of Italy, and is famous throughout the world.
Everyone knows that the Calcio Fiorentino is an ancient sport, violent, but then, you really know football Fiorentino?
Here are some things you did not know of this incredible sport.
La Grecia se non vuole fallire, deve tagliare la spesa pensionistica, é questo che dicono i creditori internazionali.
La Grecia ha una spesa pensionistica intorno al 17% del proprio PIL, proprio come l'Italia, quando la media OCSE é di circa il 7%.
Molti diranno che il PIL della Grecia e dell'Italia é diminuito in questi ultimi anni, contro questo si può ricordare che anche gli altri paesi hanno mediamente diminuito il proprio PIL per via della crisi.
Le pensioni medie in Grecia sono di 1.030 euro al mese, contro i 1.200 euro al mese della Germania. ( in Italia nel 2010 la media era di circa 1000 euro a persona).
Spesa pensionistica dati Eurostat
In un quadro economico che non sembra riuscire a trovare slancio, la Nostra economia è praticamente condannata ad un'altra crisi. Nei cicli economici, stiamo nella fase di risalita, ma sarà una risalita cauta e poco performante, come ci dicono tutti gli indicatori e tra qualche tempo, inizierà una nuova fase di crisi economica, da cui si uscirà per forza di cose con un taglio alla spesa ed in particolare alle pensioni, che pesano per circa 300 miliardi di euro nel Nostro Bilancio dello Stato.Per ora il malato é la Grecia, ma se Atene piange, Roma non ride.
I Greci hanno ritirato il denaro dalle Banche:
Detto questo, ricordiamo come Atene non ha ancora trovato un accordo con i vertici di Bruxelles e che tantissimi greci hanno ritirato il denaro contante dalle banche. ma c'è di più.
Molti greci hanno smesso di pagare i mutui e i prestiti, puntando ad un Grexit, cioé all'uscita della Grecia dall'euro.
I depositi nelle banche greche, sono crollati da 160 a 130 miliardi di oggi ( parliamo di un popolo di circa 10 milioni di persone).
A Maggio c'erano in circolazione 45,5 miliardi di euro in contante, il doppio rispetto a dicembre 2014.
Se la politica di Tsipras é giusta da una parte, cioé agevola il popolo greco, prende poco in considerazione i creditori europei ( tra cui gli italiani) che se non riprendono i loro soldi avranno dei granvi problemi nel bilancio dei propri stati.
La Grecia lascia decidere agli elettori con un referendum fuori o dentro dall'euro
E' notizia di poche ore fa, che la proposta fatta dall'Europa , cioè abbassare ANCHE le pensioni, e di altri importanti tagli alla spesa pubblica, sarà demandata agli elettori con un referendum.
In pratica il 5 luglio prossimo, i greci decideranno con un referendum se rimanere in Europa o meno, ma la sfida potrebbe essere anche vista come eurocrati contro cittadini, per la prima volta i grigi contabili di Bruxelles devono vedersela con il volere del popolo.
Sicuramente i greci voteranno CONTRO la proposta di Bruxelles, a quel punto, gli eurocrati cosa faranno?
Tutti attendiamo con ansia, "l'esperimento Grecia" potrebbe portare ad una svolta storica la stessa Unione Europea.
Frasassi caves, are in center Italy, Marche, and extend long distances tens of kilometers, with tunnels and galleries, underground lakes and huge caverns.
It was September 27, 1971 and in total darkness that was visible from a small cavity, a group of cavers threw a stone and held their breath.
The echo came after a time that seemed endless: were discovered the Frasassi Caves, one of the most spectacular karst complexes in the world.
Today the caves are open to the public who can visit them, accompanied by professional guides, on a smooth path tour lasting about 75 minutes.

Perhaps you've heard the Italian doctor Sergio Canavero, the neurosurgeon, who has announced that it plans to transplant the head of a man of a new body within two years. The news was reported by media around the world, almost always with comments incredulous if not scornful. According to most of the newspaper headlines, it is nonsense: "No, the transplant of human head will not be made by 2017," they wrote Popular Science and Wired. "It is not realistic," adds International Business Times. When I started talking about it at work they have said that is just crazy, impossible. They made jokes about the head of Ted Williams (a great baseball star who died in 2002), which at the moment is frozen in Arizona and is waiting for a new body.
Yet, I'm not sure whether it's a madness, even if it were to become a reality in 2017. The more I read about the history of transplants, surgery on the spinal cord and on experiments done so far using the head of primates, more questions come in mind. And the question does not seem a joke.
Animal experiments are already a reality, and the proposal for a human transplant does not seem a marketing gimmick: Canavero in June will be the keynote speaker at the conference of the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopedic Surgeons to be held in Annapolis. The doctor is the director of Advanced Neuromodulation Group, a research center based in Turin, and in February he wrote a scientific paper in which he proposed a technique of fusion of the spine, GEMINI. In this video he explains his project in a Ted Talk held in Verona.
The Italian doctor Canavero, already has a volunteer for its operation: Valery Spiridonov, a Russian programmer of 30 who suffers from the syndrome Werdnig-Hoffman, a neurodegenerative genetic condition that affects the nerves and muscles. In an interview with Motherboard, Spiridonov says he's not able to walk since he was one year. The man has been proposed as a volunteer in April. The body on which would be grafted his head would instead that of a donor currently in condition of brain death.
The difficulties of a transplant of a human head are countless: being able to keep alive the brain during transfer, join the two broken spinal cords and make them communicate, prevent the body from rejecting the head. And these are just some of the scientific difficulties.
There are many ethical and economic problems:
You just use a whole body to save one person, when his organs could save many?
How much we would be willing to pay for the surgery?
What if a potential patient - that such is dying because of an incurable disease or is quadriplegic with dysfunction in various organs - could survive for long, but instead "stuck" in a paralyzed body?
If the project of Dr. Canavero deemed unenforceable, we must still ask ourselves whether we really hope that, sooner or later, transplantation of the head (or body, depending on your point of view) will become possible. Meanwhile, let's look at history.
The head transplant has never been completed successfully on other animals?
The answer is not entirely negative as one might think. To be clear, I'm not justifying this kind of experiments. Many do not respect those who are the current standard for research on animals, that exist for good reason. But we can get an idea about the milestones of trade in the head.
1908: Adding the head of a dog. Charles Guthrie attacked the head of a dog on the neck of another, joining the arteries so the blood to flow first towards the decapitated head then towards the other. The head was left for about 20 minutes without blood supply and regained a minimum capacity of movement.
1950: Other dogs with two heads. Vladimir Demikhov, pioneering transplant of heart and lungs, attacked the upper parts of the bodies of young dogs behind other as adults, creating dogs with two heads both able to move, see and even drink. But without anti-rejection drugs most he survived only a few days: just one of the "hybrid" resisted for 29 days (here the images taken from the article that appeared in LIFE in 1959. Warning, may be impressive).
At the time these experiments did not provoke much enthusiasm. Also the author of a recent article on celebratory Demikhov emphasizes that for most of the surgeons of the time research of this type had a scientific value to say the least doubt.
1965: Transplant canine brain. Robert White of Cleveland General Hospital transplanted six brains of dog in the neck of the other dogs, to show how the brain could survive in another body. The electroencephalogram noted electrical activity in the brains transplanted, which also consumed oxygen and glucose. But it remains unknown what they were doing, if something did, caught in a neck.
1970: the first transplant of head of monkey. Robert White transplanted the entire head of a Rhesus Macao on the body of another. The monkey could see, hear and eat but White did not try to fuse the spinal cords. The macaque survived for a few days after the transplant.
2002: Transplant of the head of a rat at a low temperature. A group of scientists in Japan attacked heads of small rats on the thighs of adults brains cooled to prevent the damage linked to the loss of oxygen. Brains have continued to grow for three weeks.
2013: Canavero proposes the human head transplant. In an article on Surgical Neurology International the Italian surgeon outlines a procedure that includes a clean cut of the spinal cord to minimize damage and the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to merge it with the other.
2014: Transplant head of mice. Xiao-Ping Ren and colleagues in China reported an exchange between heads of mice, with a resulting white mouse in black head and back. The mice survived for three hours after they have been disconnected from a lung ventilator. It is a time reduced, but if the head was grafted onto the brainstem of the donor of the body, this would continue to monitor heart rate and breathing.
February 2015: Canavero explains the details of the procedure. In an article in Surgical Neurology International aims to cool the head and body of the donor to limit the damage to cells caused by loss of oxygen, and to fuse spinal cords with a procedure called GEMINI, which uses PEG and electrical stimulation and that, in other studies, it has been shown to promote the repair of spinal cord.
Ultimately, a few steps on the road to head transplant was done, even if it as such depends on the idea that everyone has success. I personally doubt that these results will lead droves of people to get in line for the head transplante. [source: nationalgeographic.it ]
Potrebbero essere migliaia i ricorsi per avere il rimborso pensione da parte dei pensionati che prendono 3.000 euro lordi di pensione al mese in sù.
Sono tantissimi infatti i pensionati esclusi dall'INPS che il 1° Agosto prenderanno i rimborsi della pensione, rimborsi dovuti ad una legge del 2011 che diceva di bloccare gli aumenti dell'assegno pensionistico dovuti con il salire dell'inflazione, legge che pè stata dichiarata incostituzionale poche settimane fa dalla Corte Costituzionale. Il Governo aveva messo una pezza dopo che la Consulta si era espressa_ il 1° Agosto 2015 arriveranno i rimborsi per molti pensionati, rimborso più alto per coloro che hanno la pensione di 1.400 euro mensili, rimborso più basso , a scalare fino ad arrivare alle pensioni fino a 3 mila euro mensili lorde, quelli con assegni superiori però, sarebbero rimasti esclusi da questo famoso rimborso.

Ecco allora che pochi giorni fa,. un pensionato di Napoli ( di quelli esclusi dal provvedimento del Governo) ha fatto ricorso al TAR e ha vinto.
Ora il Codacons ha già lanciato una class action con 5.000 pensionati, che se nel caso vincessero, dovrebbero avere tutto il maltolto degli anni che vanno dal 2012 al 2015.
Samantha Cristoforetti is an astronaut of Italian Space Agency (ASI), who was founded in 1988 to provide a single coordinating the efforts and investments that Italy has devoted to the sector until the 60s.
It 'a national public body, under the Ministry of University and Research, and works in collaboration with several other departments. In just over two decades it has established itself as one of the most important actors on the world stage of space science, satellite technologies, the development of means to reach and explore the cosmos.
The ASI has now a leading role both at European level, where Italy is the third country that contributes most to European Space Agency, as worldwide. In fact a close and continuous relationship with NASA, which leads her to participate in many of the most interesting scientific missions of recent years. One of the most fascinating is the construction and operation of the International Space Station, where astronauts Italian are now at home.
Thanks to the activities of the ASI, the Italian scientific community has achieved unprecedented success in recent decades in the field of astrophysics and cosmology, including helping to rebuild the first instants of the Universe, making crucial steps towards understanding of the phenomenon of gamma ray bursts and the mysterious gamma-ray sources. The ASI has also given important contributions to space exploration, building scientific instruments that have already traveled by NASA and ESA probes to discover the secrets of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. And in all major missions planned for the coming years - from Venus to the comets, up to the very limits of our solar system - there will be a piece of Italy.
In addition to studying the Universe, from space you can see the Earth to predict and prevent - for example - environmental disasters, ensure rapid interventions in crisis areas, to measure the effects of climate change. Even in these fields Italy leads the way with systems like Cosmo Sky-Med's flagship programs ASI turned to the knowledge of our planet.
Italy, through the ASI and Italian industry, also continues a tradition of research in space propulsion, especially as leaders of the European VEGA program, the small launcher of Italian design.

Today, however, the space is not only an extraordinary research. It 'also an important economic opportunity. The market for telecommunications and satellite navigation - just to mention a range of applications - is constantly expanding and the ASI, with his experience in the construction of satellites into orbit, operates because Italy is ready to grasp opportunities.
The fundamental questions about the understanding of the universe, the origin of life, to the experimentation of new technologies, the space appears more than ever the place from which to expand the cultural horizons of man, raise their awareness and ensure a better future on Earth.
Thanks to ASI, Italy is in the forefront in this exemplary human enterprise.
Chissà se sono ROM, i banchieri che presiedono i Consigli di amministrazione delle banche italiane, che con abilità riescono ad eludere il fisco e non pagare tasse per circa 4 - 5 miliardi di euro l'anno con lo stratagemma dei prodotti finanziari strutturati.
Intendiamoci bene: é tutto legale, in quanto quest'abile strategia adottata dalle banche è consentita per legge, ma chi è che ci rimette?
Gli italiani potrebbero pagare meno tasse, se le banche italiane non usassero questo escamotage per nascodere i profitti.
I ROM sono il problema degli italiani, almeno questo é il sentire dei cittadini italiani.
In Italia ci sono 30 mila famiglie Rom, molte delle quali inserite nella società, il 60% di loro sono minori, molti 'si arrangiano', facendo elemosina o commettento piccoli furti, ma sono un problema così grave?
TARI Come avere lo sconto sulla tassa sui rifiuti
Quanti soldi potranno togliere alle casse dello Stato 50 mila poveri disgraziati?
Non lo sappiamo, ma se facciamo 2 calcoli, 50 mila persone che non versano 1.000 euro all'anno di tasse, fanno 50 milioni di euro di mancate entrate.
Solo queste mancate entrate di tasse da parte delle banche sono 100 volte di più, (5 miliardi di euro) ma nessuno ve ne parla.
Strano, eh? Che tutto questo parlare di ROM sia solo una strategia della tensione 2.0 per non far vedere alle persone i veri problemi dell'Italia?
Magari domattina sentiremo Equitalia che bussa alla Nostra porta per metterci la casa in vendita, sarà colpa dei Rom allora?
Chissà, ai posteri l'ardua sentenza.
After the announcement of the new Lamborghini SUV Urus at Palazzo Chigi, Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of the Lambo, he met with 1,200 employees to "make them - according to a note of the car - witnesses and participants of the sea change that Lamborghini will face in the coming years. " Meanwhile workers have approved the agreement recently signed by the unions, which applies to the German model of industrial relations.
"Today - said Winkelmann - is a historic day for Lamborghini. There are two victories: to have a third model and produce it in Sant'Agata. Thanks to you all, you were fantastic, this great achievement is also thanks to you."
New Lamborghini SUV
"We have strongly fought for production here in Sant'Agata is not only for reasons related to the Made in Italy, in the territory, to the passion, excellence of our craftsmanship, but also because we have the opportunity to achieve stability, which It goes beyond the super sports that are in our hearts and made this great Company.
In the coming years for the third model - confirmed Winkelmann - assume 500 people, we will nearly double our website and we will invest hundreds of millions of euro for the life cycle of the product. We hope and we wish you good luck, the new Lamborghini SUV Urus, will be the most beautiful car in the world
Ci sono importanti novità per le pensioni. Le notizie ci dicono che il Governo sta studiando un modo per far andare in pensione tutti a 62 anni.
Queste prossime settimane di questa calda estate 2015, saranno cruciali per sciogliere il nodo delle pensioni, un imbuto che blocca il naturale ricambio generazionale dei lavoratori italiani e che va assolutamente sbloccato, come tutte le forze politiche auspicano ormai in modo trasversale.
Il problema delle pensioni sono i soldi:
I soldi non ci sono o meglio: non ci sarebbero, a meno che... A volte le soluzioni possono essere estremamente semplici, come ha detto il Ministro Padoan, un modo ci sarebbe per far tornare i conti. quello di espandere questa nuova spesa nel tempo e, anche grazie al Quantitative Easing che la BCE ci permetterà di sfruttare i soldi per le pensioni si potrebbero trovare. Chi potrà andare in pensione anticipata?
Ci sarebbe un'uscita anticipata a partire da 62 anni con penalizzazioni proporzionali che arrivano all'8% (ma anche uscita anticipata per chi abbia raggiunto 41 anni di contributi, indipendentemente dall'età anagrafica, e senza penalizzazioni). ( approfondimenti).
Quanto prenderò in meno se andrò in pensione anticipatamente?
La penalizzazione che si sta studiando per chi voglia avere un prepensionamento, sarebbe di una mensilità ogni anno, per coloro che andranno in pensione con 62 anni di età anagrafica ed un minimo di contributi ( ancora da stabilire).
Settimana intensa di dibattiti parlamentari sulle pensioni:
Questa settimana sarà la prima di tante settimane estive molto importanti per una riforma delle pensioni, o quantomeno di una parte di sistema pensionistico che verrà riformato, come i nuovi parametri per la pensione anticipata, che inizierà con il dibattito sulla proposta Damiano-Beretta.

Non possiamo che essere d'accordo con l'articolo del Washington Post intitolato "In Umbria, the poor man’s Tuscany, you can live like a king" - Umbria la Toscana dei poveri dove si può vivere come dei Re.
E ' un lunghissimo articolo di 3 pagine uscito qualche giorno fa , scritto da un collaboratore del più autorevole giornale del mondo, che era già venuto a Perugia a studiare all'Università per gli Stranieri e che proprio quest'anno é tornato nella verde Umbria per raccogliere l'uliva in un podere di suoi amici.
Questo articolo fa una lode sperticata alla piccola regione del centro Italia, elogio che ci sta tutto, aggiungerei...

Marina di Furore, Furore or more simply, it is one of the most incredible places in Italy, near Amalfi, in Campania.
This place, is little known because it is small and there are no roads for cars to get there, but the roads for pedestrians.
The mountain overlooking the sea, a small village with the old fishermen's houses, beaches, pebble beach, the Eco-museum, the collection of paper mills, windmills, canals, water towers dating back to the eighteenth century.
Best places to visit in Italy: Castelluccio Monti Sibillini
Since 1997, as the Amalfi Coast, it has become a World Heritage Site, joining also the Club of the most beautiful towns in Italy.
The place is also disclosed for the permanent museum dedicated to actress Anna Magnani who, in 1948, arrived in the coastal to star in the episodic film "Love", directed by Roberto Rossellini and companion.
The Fjord can be reached at the bridge on the Fjord (23 km of the State Coast), through a flight of stairs leading to the beach.
Achille Occhetto e il suo vitalizio sembrano diventati il nuovo bersaglio dei giornali di destra italiani.
Occhetto prende un vitalizio di 5.800 euro al mese, frutto di 30 anni di attività politica, dal 1976 al 2006.
Occhetto, rispondendo a delle domande fatte da una giornalista di Libero, dice che non potrebbe fare a meno del vitalizio, in quanto deve mantenere la moglie e 2 figli disoccupati.
Ma perché il vitalizio da parlamentare di Occhetto fa tanto scalpore?
Non abbiamo ben capito, ma in queste ore si susseguono gli articoli su questa notizia, che sembrano più un attacco alla personaggio Occhetto che altro.
In effetti ci sono tante persone che hanno lavorato 30 anni e ora non prendono la pensione, o che hanno l'età pensionabile e prendono poco più della pensione minima.
Come avere uno sconto sulla TARI
Il problema dei vitalizi dei parlamentari, è reale e molto piàù ampio di quello del singolo Occhetto, che poverino questa volta fa da capro espiatorio dei mali della Nostra politica.
Jesus in Turin, is a person who looks like Jesus and that is in Turin at this time of display of the Shroud.
In this period in Turin, there is the exposition of the Shroud, what Christians believe to be the cloth in which was wrapped the body of Christ after death.
He is a walking person and who is found in a central street of Turin, but not all people have enjoyed.
As he himself writes in his FB page, he has been repeatedly called the police who stopped him and brought to the police station for questioning five times in six days.
Jesus did not hurt anyone, gives free hugs and photographed by tourists, which give him a tip, but he did not ask anything.
It seems that before he became Jesus, was an actor who has lost his job.
La recessione economica in Italia é finita.
L'ISTAT ha annunciato stamani che la recessione é finita.
L'ISTAT ha detto che nei primi tre mesi del 2015, c'é stato un aumento dello 0,3% del PIL, rispetto al trimestre precedente, mentre la variazione acquisita del Pil per il 2015 è pari a 0,2%.
Si tratta, in ogni caso, dell'incremento più alto dal primo trimestre del 2011 quando il Pil era salito dello 0,4%.
Finalmente una buona notizia per la Nostra economia, che toglie anche molti problemi di immagine al Governo Renzi, problemi dovuti ad un rimborso che lo Stato italiano deve fare ai pensionati, rimborso di 20 miliardi di euro.
The ISTAT announced this morning that the recession is over.
ISTAT said that in the first three months of 2015, there was an increase of 0.3% of GDP, compared to the previous quarter, while the change in GDP gained for 2015 is 0.2%. It is, in any case, the increase highest since the first quarter of 2011 when GDP had risen by 0.4%.
Finally some good news for Our economy, which also takes away many image problems to the government Renzi, problems due to a refund that the Italian State has to make to pensioners, repayment of 20 billion euro.
Now the Italian government will be more inclined to continue economic reforms.
Questo é un post per tutti, non solo per gli amanti della musica rap italiana, o per i fan del rapper J Ax.
J Ax é stato uno dei primi rapper italiani, ma torniamo indietro..
Essendo un post per tutti, cerchiamo di spiegare cosa é il rap e l'hip-hop music, un genere che non piace a molte persone, seguito da molti giovani ed odiato da chi ha una certa età, diciamo da chi ha più di 40 anni e, visto ormai che in Italia le persone che hanno 40 anni hanno superato di numero quelle che ne han meno, possiamo dire che la musica rap é seguita solo ed esclusivamente da giovani e giovanissimi.
L'hip-hop é un movimento culturale, nato in America, movimento che consisteva nel far incontrare ragazzi dei quartieri più poveri e disagiati, farli stare insieme facendo musica rap, ballando, scrivendo sugli squallidi muri delle periferie, un movimento che ha visto nella musica rap la propria espressione di pensiero. Le canzoni rap, raccontavano la vita di questi ragazzi, se la prendevano con i poteri forti, ed avevano una importante connotazione rivoluzionaria e trasgressiva, questo accadeva all'inizio degli anni '70 in America - o meglio - nei grandi agglomerati urbani di New York, LA, Seattle, Chicago.
1° Maggio 2015: a Milano si danno appuntamento gran i NOExpo, un movimento di protesta, nato per contrastare l'Expo, ma più in generale tutto il sistema capitalistico.
Il 1° Maggio, la festa dei lavoratori a Milano, arrivano oltre 15 mila persone, attivisti da tutta Italia e gran parte dell'Europa, proprio per partecipare a questa manifestazione, protestare contro l'Expo di Milano, contro la mancanza di lavoro e le politiche di austerity della UE.
Alcuni di Loro usano le consolidate tecniche di guerriglia urbana. Si vestono di nero, si coprono il volto, si armano di bastoni, bombolette spray, bombe carta incendiarie con cui cercano di incendiare le banche, ma ce ne sono poche e si gettano contro le auto che ritengono 'di lusso'. In mezzo a Loro tanti ragazzini che stanno lì solo per fare 'casino' e - sicuramente - qualche infiltrato delle FFOO, che da sempre usano questo metodo per cercare di identificare i partecipanti e capire le intenzioni del corteo. Finito di devastare un paio di vie cittadine, buttano via giacche, sciarpe, bastoni e bombolette spray per non farsi riconoscere e si confondono con gli altri manifestanti.
Un'azione ben documentata da giornalisti e fotoreporter sul posto, le immagini hanno fatto il giro d'Italia ( in America ad esempio avevano da vedere le immagini che arrivavano da Seattle, dove per le proteste del 1° Maggio studenti e giovani disoccupati avevano fatto grossomodo la stessa cosa, quindi giornali e TV americane, praticamente non hanno riportato gli eventi di Expo 2015).
The Universal Exposion - Expo 2015, will be hosted in Milan, from 1 May to 31 October 2015, below some informations.
Like any large public event, Expo Milano 2015, has had the great controversy in Italy.
All they have to criticize, everyone has their own opinion, they all say that things have been done poorly, that Italy will make a bad impression, that there are no safety standards, there are no controls, that contracts are It was rigged, that the works have been made thanks to the corrupt politicians, the mafia, the 'Ndrangheta ...
We, however, we are confident that Expo 2015 will be a great success.
But we must say that there are no longer the International Expositions of the early '900; thanks to the TV and Internet, everyone can virtually visit their homes, countries around the world, we can all know the typical products of Korea, or Argentina or Belarus, now the world is connected, and for ' world ', we mean all their citizens, not only nations among themselves.
I from my house Italian, I can talk live with friends who live in Canada, or in the US, or in Argentina, Russia, Japan, just as if they were just a few feet from me.
By now, there is no more that wonder, to see African animals, I can see them when I want on Youtube, I no longer need to go to the zoo, the same thing can be said for all the typical products of the world, that's why now the Universal Expo will have less and less successful, over time.
Small nuclear bombs grow, Cold fusion and new mini-nuclear weapons
by Emilio Del Giudice
Military power speaks of 'depleted uranium', the scientific community is silent, and while the first Gulf War, nuclear weapons are used as small artillery shells.
Meeting on the book The secret investigation of the three bullets Maurizio Torrealta and Emilio Del Giudice (Environment Issues, necklace Verdener, 2010) Bookseller Odradek Milan, October 1, 2010
One of the characteristics of modern society, which seems founded on the abundance and availability of information, is the ability to keep secrets. It keeps them thanks to the enormous amount of information that is spilled on the heads of people who, having no more reference points, taking, compared to information they receive, a passive. Convinced they know everything just because they have received a sea of news citizens, paradoxically, they know nothing. And there is no better way to hide the truth that does not refer to blatant lies but partial truths.
Some journalists asked, during a press conference of the Israeli government spokesman, if it was true that in 2006, on the face of Lebanon, Israel had used nuclear weapons of a new type. The answer was the spokesman: "We declare that the Israeli army has never made use of weapons banned by international conventions." That is very true, the weapon of which we speak is not prohibited by international conventions, for the simple reason that it is a new type of weapon, and therefore is not provided in international conventions; officially nobody knows of the existence of this type of weapon and therefore it is not a weapon prohibited. The citizen who receives this information remains convinced that there is nothing mysterious, instead of mysterious there is everything. First, it should be specified that the powers involved in the use of mini nuclear weapons belong to a broad spectrum; although it is difficult to say exactly what they are, it is likely that Russia has used the in Chechnya and the United States and Britain in the various wars in the Middle East and the Balkans.
The chain is this possible: the first to have thought were the Germans during World War II. It is true that they were very far from achieving the type weapons used in Hiroshima, but probably because they had not taken that road: the German scientists were studying ways to create a different type of bomb, very similar to those used in conflicts from the first Gulf War on, and they were about to achieve it. Since the laboratories where this happened were located in eastern Germany, it is very likely that the Russians have got their hands on such weapons and have further developed; it is likely that later, after Spy games, the English they have learned of the existence, the Americans have in turn learned by the British and the Israelis by the Americans. In recent times, it is likely that even the French have developed.
Let's start with what we already know, namely that since the last twenty years, from the battlefields of the Balkans, the Middle East, probably also of Chechnya, came news 'strange': strange diseases that affect people, both military civil. We've all heard of the 'Gulf War Syndrome': over time, many people who have been in those battlefields develop strange diseases.
For example, among the Italian soldiers who have served in the Balkans, both in Bosnia and in Kosovo, seems to have developed a number of leukemias much higher than what would be expected statistically, so much so that the Italian Parliament has appointed a Commission - which has not concluded anything, but the simple fact of having appointed means that a problem exists.
Obviously military organizations did their best to sidetrack the attention and stated that, probably, due to these diseases are the bullets made of uranium used in the conflict. The reason for the choice of this material, say the military is in the fact that uranium is the heaviest metal that exists in nature, and as to pierce armor or a concrete wall must be a strong impact, a bullet made of a very heavy metal causes a hole much larger than a standard lead bullet. In addition, state, since, thanks to the nuclear industry there is a large amount of wastes of uranium that you do not know where to throw and which cost nothing, uranium is the raw material perfect and low cost to manufacture bullets.
The counterpart, unfortunately, always say the military, is that uranium has properties of radioactivity, and so the fact that on the battlefield remain the debris caused by the rupture of these bullets cause diseases in people involved.
This argument is not credible. If so, given that uranium is used for a long time, all the miners of uranium mining should sick en masse, while this disease is not among them. Or all those who have to do with the nuclear industry should be approximately the same, yet the same subjects on the one hand they say that nuclear power is safe, and the other that the mere fact of handling uranium bullets causes fatal diseases.
Moreover, that uranium can present some form of radioactivity is very well known, so how it occurred to the military to use a bullet uranium? It is true that uranium is heavier than lead, but it is only 20%. The gain is worth the risk? The blow which gives the projectile to the target is a function of its kinetic energy, the formula of which is: half of the product of mass and velocity squared. To increase the force of the impact the military has decided to increase by 20% the mass, but they could get much more easily the same result by increasing by 10% the speed of the bullet, and all in all it was enough to make it use an explosive charge slightly higher . It is not difficult, indeed. In recent times, the artillery has made great progress, so, for example, while in World War II grenades fired from the guns came from the mouth of a kilometer per second, now come to five kilometers per second. In proportion, what can never be that 20% of the increase ...
In spite of various official statements, inquiries are continuing. In the Lebanon war of 2006 there was a case that made headlines: in a village called Khiam, where there was a stronghold of Hezbollah, the Israeli air force bombed, and it so happens that there were photographers who snapped some photos. The image shooting something that seemed, in small - small but not so much, it was a column of 5,000 meters, although compared to a nuclear explosion can be defined as small - a mushroom cloud.
As it happens in that village was born a Lebanese nuclear physicist, who took samples from the crater of the explosion - which was then filled with water - and sent them in different laboratories around the world. Two of these - not one, two, independent of each other, one of which was the Harwell laboratory in England, the most renowned in the world to do this kind of research - found in a sample the presence of enriched uranium.
Here we must digress a little science: what is the enriched uranium?
The uranium is made from various isotopes; the core element consists of a number of protons and of a certain number of neutrons, in the case of uranium protons are 92 - fixed, because they give the electric charge which gives the chemical properties - while the neutrons can be in number Variable: 146, and in this case the sum is more neutrons protons 238, and this core is not fissile, ie can not be broken, or 143, and in this case the sum is 235 and this is the fissile core. For the atomic bomb, therefore, serves the variety 235, the fissile, while the variety 238 is only useful in that it can be used to produce plutonium: through a process now well known bombards the nucleus with neutrons, which acquires a neutron and after a Internal mixing becomes plutonium 239, in turn fissile. So uranium 238 is not useful in and of itself but as a raw material to make plutonium.
Uranium that exists in nature, 99.3% is made of the isotope 238, and only 0.7% is made of the isotope 235. Since it is necessary to make a nuclear bomb uranium 235, you must try to obtain a larger amount with a special procedure: you take natural uranium, in gaseous form, made precisely for 99.3% of the isotope 238 and 0.7% of the isotope 235; it is put in a centrifuge, the effect of the centrifugal force the heaviest part goes outside, the lighter part remains at the center. In this way, the part that remains at the center is called 'enriched', and uranium-235, while the part that remains outside is called 'depleted' uranium and 238. Of course, to have the amount needed to make an atomic bomb we must enrich uranium up to 90% of the isotope 235, and the result is that this process is very expensive - it is what they are trying to do, they say, the Iranians with their centrifuges: obtain enriched uranium.
It is clear at this point that, since the enrichment requires all these complicated processes and expensive, a State would never dream of using enriched uranium in a normal bomb just to give more strength to the impact: thus the presence of enriched uranium in the crater Khiam or testifies to the fact that a nuclear weapon has been used already containing enriched uranium, or that the uranium was enriched at the time of the blast. In both cases there is something in the nuclear game.
Faced with the results of the two laboratories authorities are obviously ran for cover, and the laboratory owned by the United Nations, for example, denied the results. On the other hand this laboratory has become famous because it has also denied that there was anything in Kosovo ... on the other hand these are not independent laboratories because they depend on political bodies.
After clarifying the issue of uranium, to address the topic of the new weapons used must briefly explain how it is made an atomic bomb of the type used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Once obtained a mixture made of uranium 235, the nuclei that comprise it can be fissionati, that is broken, by neutrons; breaking, the nuclei release energy, a lot of energy, however, the probability that a neutron strikes a nucleus and the break is small, because the neutrons are very small, also the nuclei, and hence the probability that the neutron learn to hit the core is very low: it is like to do the shooting. To increase this probability, it is necessary therefore to put a large number of nuclei: in this way, if the neutron crosses a space where there are many nuclei, sooner or later it gets one.
This technique is the basis of what is called the 'critical mass'.
If I take a block of uranium 235 such that its size exceeds what in jargon is called the 'mean free path', ie the distance to make the neutron before you have a chance to hit a nucleus, each neutron passing of there sooner or later hits a nucleus and then the explosion occurs. The value of the critical mass is a military secret but it is an open secret: we know that it varies between 7 and 8 pounds. So if I take a mass of uranium-235 than 3 pounds, does not burst; increase the mass and 7 pounds I explode.
Given this, it is made a nuclear bomb?
Since I can not hold together the critical mass explodes otherwise, this mass is divided into many sub-masses, fragments that do not explode separately, inserted inside a container lined with explosives outside normal; When it explodes, the fragments implode, that are projected against each other, creating the critical mass and has a bang nuclear. The fact that below the critical mass, there can be nuclear explosion means that the explosion have to be gigantic.
The atomic bomb or destroy an entire city or anything, you can not do with this system only weapon that destroys a building and just. In this sense, the nuclear weapon is a weapon of last resort, inflexible weapon that can not be used for normal military purposes.
Yet, in the cases in question - the first Gulf War, the Balkans, the conflicts of recent years in the Middle East, perhaps in Chechnya - it seems that the weapons used were mini-nuclear weapons, which the military powers deny just saying that like all know, a nuclear weapon does not work below a critical mass.
After the first Gulf War of 1991 was released a book written by a French missionary, Father Jean-Marie Benjamin, translated in Italian with the title Iraq: the Apocalypse, where you have many pictures. You see tanks destroyed, and the distinction is that if you take photographs of World War II, the Korean War, or the first wars of the Middle East, there tanks bombarded retain more or less the original silhouette; only closer you see that there's a big hole in the armor, caused by the grenade that came inside, in contact with vapors of gasoline, produces the blaze that charred the military.
In the pictures from 1991 onwards we see another thing: the tank has lost its silhouette, it became a mass of molten metal. A tank is made of steel and weighs 40 tons, there is no conventional explosive can melt it: it means being able to release a lot of energy and for more localized, because around the tank there is destruction for 20 meters, not beyond. Hiroshima was destroyed in an area whose radius was 1.5 km, ie a circle of 3 km in diameter.
This means that were invented mini-nuclear weapons, overcoming the problem of critical mass? And if passed, as they did? Certainly if so, the result must be well defended the secret.
When did the atomic bomb in '45, the physical principles on which the bomb was based were already known and had been cleared in the thirties: there was little to keep secret, only the technology used to implement well-known physical principles . But if a state invests money and gets to work enough engineers, in the head a few years the secret technology is discovered and revealed.
If it is the physical principle to be unknown, then it is different because you have to have the idea. If someone has an idea, then, the best way to protect it is to depress a blanket of silence, not talk about it and not allow to talk about it, and maybe sidetrack attention to something else, such as depleted uranium.
The first Gulf War began in January 1991, the military mobilization began in the 90's: therefore already in the 90's these weapons existed. What happened on the scientific front in the same years?
There was a big controversy about the so-called 'cold fusion'. In March 1989 two scientists, an Englishman and an American, Fleischmann and Pons, announced that they have managed to achieve it - note that Fleischmann, previously, had worked for seven years in military laboratories of the British navy.
What is cold fusion? Let's first step back: what is the merger?
The nuclei of the elements are a set of protons and neutrons held together by forces of nuclear type in addition, as a correction, the electrostatic repulsion of protons being positive charges repel. If protons are few, this repulsion is small, if you begin to increase the number of the electrical correction starts to become great. There are two extremes: very few nucleons - so defined the subatomic particles that make up the core, either protons or neutrons - or many nucleons.
In the case of many nucleons, such as uranium, where the protons and neutrons are 92 143, the repulsion between these 92 protons threatens the stability of the core which therefore tends to break. In the nuclei-called light instead, for example a core made with 2 protons and 2 neutrons, since these nucleons are attracted to each other and the electrostatic repulsive force is minimal, if I will add another energy produced increases. Imagine two people hugging each other: in two embrace with some force, in four with more force, gradually to the point of saturation.
From light nuclei so you get the release of energy by fusing, ie increasing the number of nucleons, while the heavy nuclei is obtained by breaking; from the latter therefore free energy with the process of fission, breaking the core, from the first rather the opposite, that is melting.
For example: take a hydrogen nucleus made of one proton and just. If I add a neutron get something that is still hydrogen but weighs more: ie heavy hydrogen is deuterium. Then take two deuterium nuclei, put them together and make a nucleus with two neutrons and two protons, which is helium. I made a merger. From this fusion releases energy.
But there is a difficulty in merging: nuclear forces are a million times more intense electrical forces but have a range of very small so only if the two nuclei come into contact merge; if you are a little far, nuclear forces do not have the range sufficient to attract them. On the other side, the electrical forces are much weaker but have the largest radius of action, however, are repulsive: the two nuclei repel each other, and then the fusion can not be realized unless I do not find a way to let them get in touch.
How to do? There are two ways: either by force or with good manners.
The first is the method of so-called 'hot melt', which is based on the idea of giving the nuclei so much of that energy which they win the repulsion; This energy is provided by the temperature.
Made calculations, it turns out that you need a temperature of 60 million degrees to overcome the electrical repulsion. With this technique it was realized the H-bomb, the hydrogen bomb: I take an atomic bomb to fission, it explodes, it produces a temperature of millions of degrees and we have the fusion of the nuclei. The bomb H is therefore a two-stage process. It should be a detonator, formed by a normal atomic bomb, exploding determines that the merger.
Incidentally, this is only useful for military applications, not for the energy, because I can not blow up a nuclear bomb for energy. In the field of energy use then the nuclear still has many problems, because such high temperatures vaporize anything, hydrogen heated to 60 million degrees you have to look good from touching any wall because otherwise vaporizes. The smart idea is to take a container with powerful magnets, confine nuclei in the center of the container, so away from the walls, and bombard them with powerful laser in order to raise the temperature. Standing up, the power of the magnets must still increase because the nuclei tend to repel ... in short, it is a contradiction that never ends and therefore not surprising that the problem is not yet resolved.
In this situation of technological challenge come two professors who say we have achieved nuclear fusion at room temperature, spending five years in the making, since nobody was funding us, our savings, in total the equivalent of 20 million pounds of then. And how? Using good manners instead of violence.
The nuclei are not left alone in a vacuum, but incorporated into a metal matrix, can be found in the free state that electrons are negatively charged. The idea is that electrons, interposed between the deuterium nuclei, they mask. The metal which is suitable to do this is palladium. Fleischmann was one of the greatest electrochemical the world - after the announcement has been portrayed as an idiot who did not understand anything, but he was president of the International Association of electrochemistry - and some have had first received the Palladium Medal, the Medal of palladium: he took this pataccone and fused to make the electrodes in which to insert the nuclei.
When the number of deuterium nuclei inserted in the metal exceeds a certain threshold - which corresponds to a core of palladium for each deuterium nucleus - deuterium nuclei begin to merge spontaneously and releases energy in the form of electromagnetic fields that have the frequency of gamma rays, fields which then degrade and give rise to the heat. Now: the frequency of gamma rays is suitable to break a nucleus.
If, then, rather than use a 'bullet', as a neutron, seeks an electromagnetic field, which is not point-like but extended, the problem of the critical mass to have a nuclear explosion does not exist anymore, because an extended field has no difficulty in ' hit 'all nuclei that is, to shake them vigorously - given that the electromagnetic field is a swing - and break them. Thus we have found an alternative way of achieving nuclear fission without using 'bullets', and thus overcome the problem of ballistic hit the target. This will not break your heart but taken down by resonance.
That this is not a hypothesis but a certainty I can personally guarantee it, because I participated in cold fusion experiments made in Frascati and examining electron microscope, after the experiment, the metal piece in which this occurred, it showed that c 'virgins were areas where nothing had happened, and areas where the entire crystal lattice was uneven; by examination of the nature of the nuclei with another technique, called SEM, these were in the tracts virgin, 99.9% of palladium nuclei, while in the uneven sections were 10% nickel, and the core of nickel is about half of the core of palladium. This means that had occurred a fission palladium.
Incidentally, the fission of palladium is completely harmless, does not free energy because palladium is neither heavy nor light but not in balance and then broke free energy.
This experiment was done in 2002, but suppose someone had discovered these physical principles much earlier than they did Fleischmann and Pons; Suppose that in the 70/80, in military laboratories, someone has discovered this thing, and have tried to use as host metal, uranium instead of palladium. Even the uranium nuclei would break, but unlike the nuclei of palladium would release energy. So you could get a nuclear explosion, and no critical mass; there would be no need to blow 7/8 pounds of uranium, could suffice even a gram. It could therefore realize a nuclear weapon the size of a pistol bullet. And that would power this mini nuclear explosion?
We make a proportion: Hiroshima, using 7 pounds of uranium 235, for which I have to use 1,000 pounds of uranium normal - because the ratio of 0.7% uranium 235 in uranium present in nature - has produced an explosion which corresponds to 20,000 tons of TNT, or twenty kilotons. With a pound would explosion equal to 1,000 times less, 20 tons; with a gram would the equivalent of 20 pounds of TNT, which correspond to the position of a cannon.
Then, firing a bullet from a gun gram not only produce the effect of a cannon, but I also have all the consequences of a nuclear explosion, or radioactivity.
Probably, at the base of the so-called Gulf War syndrome is the fact that the US military did not expect radioactive effects because, in fact, this is a non-radioactive fission: while a neutron strikes a nucleus breaks in the case, as when one throws a glass against a wall, if the core is put into resonance in reality is not broken but, in fact, taken down; its fragments are then in equilibrium and therefore not radioactive - the radioactivity is caused by the fact that a fragment is not in balance and begins to throw out some particles to find the balance.
This is true, however, in the first instance, because they still are emitted gamma rays that make radioactive surrounding matter and produce a second-radioactivity that produces health effects.
It is true that this type of radiation is confined to 30/50 meters from where the explosion occurred, which is an area much smaller than that involved in Hiroshima, but it is also true that the Hiroshima bomb was: if Use percent of these bombs, or thousands of these projectiles, can I still cover the entire territory of radioactivity.
On the basis of this discovery the great powers, those before and those after, realize therefore weapons of this kind, made in this way: take a piece of uranium, is charged with deuterium to just below the threshold, so it does not explode in hand, it shoots the bullet, the bullet hits the target, it undergoes a compression that makes the density of deuterium to go above the threshold, snaps cold fusion, produces the electromagnetic field that shakes the uranium nuclei which begin to break and we bang nuclear. The process is then reversed with respect to the H-bomb: while in this we use a fission bomb to trigger fusion, here we use the opposite fusion to trigger fission.
Let's go back to the first Iraq war in 1991. A war correspondent reported the following fact: he saw a chariot Iraqi chased by an American tank. The first hid behind a sand dune, the second, without even going to try to flush him out, he fired a cannon against the dune. The bullet passed the dune from side to side, struck the chariot of Iraq and destroyed it.
First, such a power of cannon was never seen in conventional weapons; secondly, the corpses of Iraqi soldiers had black skin. They were charred, the hair, such as eyebrows, were intact: those soldiers had not burned, as were sunburned. But given that the gamma rays are much more powerful ultraviolet rays, it was as if the poor had been made a super lamp. This event is the evidence that there happened a nuclear phenomenon.
Another case, in Baghdad: an air raid shelter was hit by a missile which pierced a concrete block of a few meters in diameter and went inside, exploding and killing all the people present. The peculiarity is that on the wall were printed silhouette of three people, one of which was a pregnant woman. Why? The person who is there and who then casts its shadow on the wall is instantly vaporized, which takes place in a very short time: the shadow did not have time to disappear, because the heat wave heats the entire wall in the shade and not save the part in shadow. Facts like these have been photographed in Hiroshima.
This means that those persons have been vaporized, and there is no chemical explosion capable of vaporizing a person.
Another example: in Basra, where there were heavy bombardments, the percentage of tumors has multiplied exponentially. While in 1989 deaths from cancer were 34, in 2001 exceeding 600 cases and show rare tumors. The primary oncology of Basra, which had reported these data, subsequently received a formal warning from the Iraqi government not to disclose further, cutting the total worth of the loans; of course, has not spoken.
It was also conducted an intermediate weapon, used its near Basra; is under investigation conducted by Maurizio Torrealta video and aired by Rainews24 in 2008, still visible and downloadable on the site (1).
American veterans say that the last day of the war, February 27, 1991, the US Air Force dropped an atomic bomb in the area between Basra and the Iranian border. To confirm this, Torrealta has a brilliant idea: check in area and at that time, the seismographs have detected an earthquake. Nuclear explosion, in fact, produces a wave similar to an earthquake but with different characteristics: while this part of the plan and then grows, nuclear explosion strong part and then decreases, so if you look at the shape of the wave can be distinguished an event on the other. There is also a table, created in the fifties, which measures the force of the explosion according to the Richter scale for earthquakes.
Torrealta caters Seismological Observatory of Stockholm, specializing in test and check if countries whether or not nuclear tests. The observatory says that February 27, 1991 were recorded earthquakes 30 miles east of Basra, at 13:39 local time, an event of 4.2 on the Richter scale. I declare that the characteristics of the profile of the event can not, for reasons related to the statute Stockholm Observatory, to be made public, and the only thing that can be said is that the recorded event is not incompatible with a nuclear event and that occurred at the surface, between zero and 33 kilometers deep.
The table says that 4.2 on the Richter scale corresponds to 5 kilotons, that is a quarter of the power used in Hiroshima; therefore, less than that which corresponds to the critical mass. However remarkable, because of 5,000 tons of TNT.
Why the last day of the war the Americans would use a weapon of this type, moreover in a desert area where apparently there were no targets? You can only make assumptions: taking into account that the area is contiguous to the Iranian border, the explosion may have been a warning to Iran.
