How To Use A Pad Spreader

Cui Prodest?


The first to be smignottato and 'he, Silvio Berlusconi. The teens, the escort. The 10 questions of the Republic. And then 'was the turn of Boffo, director of the event. Harassment to the wife of one of his alleged partner. The scoop of the Journal of Felt. Boffo's resignation. Then and 'time to Fini. An old dossier on alleged activities' sexual deviant. The threats of Newspaper, always felt. The counter-threats of fines. Purposes remains. Then it's time to Marrazzo. The video with the cross that makes up and down 'for the peninsula in search of buyers. Watch it all: Rizzoli, Free, Mondadori, the prime minister. The news beat it in the newspapers. Marrazzo's resignation.

There is talk of other scandals coming.

Who benefits from this anthology of sex scandals that follow? When the scandal and 'a, suppose the first one to Berlusconi, attention, and' high. When the scandals became two, three, four, attention, and 'Max. When the scandals multiply and fill the newspapers, took over in disgust, resignation, oblivion. It 'the same happened with the "Clean Hands" investigation. At first high voltage, then excitement, then faded just as the general indifference of the investigation reached its conclusions and would have had to find a solution to ensure that Tangentopoli not repeated ever again '. But anyhow '. The focus was at historic lows, dall'assuefazione replaced. It is not did nothing. With the result that Tangentopoli and ' alive and fighting among the Italians.

Two footnotes. Tg1 of Minzolinchio has found a sense of the news and what was once "common gossip", in relation to Berlusconi, and today 'important news. What a surprise.

Gradoli Street, the route of the trans, and 'a way to hook to the cross-Cassia, a short distance from the GRA. Extreme periphery, behind the row Casacce around the hook there 'nothing for miles. More 'than adequate, God-forsaken place, but not by the secret services
. Now it says that way Gradoli was attended by all political players and show people of Rome. It 's the same way in which some 18 March 1978 Police officers showed up, having been tipped off about the presence in an apartment, two days before the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, a hotbed of the Red Brigades. Rang, no one open '. Questioned the neighbors. They said that the apartment was suspect. The officials did not think of breaking. They left in the relationship and wrote the opposite of what the neighbors had said the occupant of the apartment was a quiet guy. Behind that door was hidden Mario Moretti, was then sentenced to six life sentences. Just a quiet guy. Curious coincidence.

Fun Slogan For Eating Healthy

Courage Press (2)


It will not be 'something new' that the European Parliament does not decide nothing, but the episode last Wednesday 'is particularly bizarre. He voted in Strasbourg two resolutions submitted by the Italian parliament on the issue of freedom 'of press in Italy. Those on the right wanted him to be voted the slogan in Italy there 'no problem and Parliament rejected by a margin of 25 votes. Then they tried from left to push the slogan in Italy there is' a problem but Parliament rejected by a margin of three votes. E 'need a parliament seat with a triple and 751 butts in a chair to answer the question not know in Italy there is' a problem ? Just a simple poll of Rete 4.

Vote slogan, this and 'called the European Parliament. Do not reinvent the wheel: With this vote, the Parliament said the Commission to tell the Council to tell national governments to do the Bravini on freedom 'of the press. Slogan. Smoke.

this vote would not have been to diminish the excessive power of Berlusconi in Italy. Yet his team of yes-men and one 'has once again well to parry his ass to the item. MEP
Pino Arlacchi , Italy of Values, has made it clear that the deployment of Irish colleagues Pat Gallagher and Liam Aylward, they've confessed that he had abstained in violation of the discipline group, pressures received. And we want

outrage for this? The European Parliament and 'a teeming lobby. In any case, and 'interesting that someone has taken the initiative, even if clumsily accomplished, and it' s interesting that the European institutions are officially informed that a problem exists, not in the newspapers but from institutional initiatives. Certainly the mechanisms irritate, without resolution, full of caveats and mysterious pressures, but the substance of the message and 'come to the recipient.

What is surprising in all this, and 'that the Irish newspapers, the day after the crime, did not report the news of the abstention of their two fellow MEPs, poor things, who said victims of pressures . But Ireland was not in first place in the world in the special list of Reporters Sans Frontieres for freedom 'of the press?

Mini Wood Catapult Blueprints

Courage Press


No surprises in the annual ranking by Reporters Sans Frontières on freedom 'in the print world. At the head of the Fantastic Four Scandinavian Sweden, Finland , Denmark and Norway , which are now a continent apart, where things work better than any other corner of the world. High sense of civic responsibility, time shit, little chance 'of hanging around on the sun and heat, just off the course at the university', great desire to work, produce, collaborate, improve, compare, compete, update, develop, research, innovation, participation, solidarity.

In the opening, with the fantastic four, green, and Catholic Ireland , then Estonia, Netherlands , Switzerland , Lithuania, Belgium eleventh. Curious that the ranking on freedom 'print reflects the value of the economic and social progress of countries. Ireland, Estonia and Lithuania, 20 years ago was the one province of the British Empire from which absorbed the brutal but effective methods tatcheriani, the other provinces of the Soviet empire from which they prepared to unmark finally to exploit its commercial potential. Today they are thriving and innovative economies, among the most 'fresh, young, flexible and dynamic in the world have had a crisis, but it quickly if they are getting rid. Tourism and new technologies have made it essentially a way of life and incredible source of wealth.

In Europe, where there is 'there is wealth' redistribution, it takes from the rich to give to the poor, there is 'social cohesion and peace among people, little crime'. And when everyone is well and going on a bat, thanks to the pizza that the press and the 'free, free to tell what' is happening and that means' nothing. I would certainly see the Irish and Norwegian journalists grappling with the investigations which Anna Led Politkovskaya in Chechnya, faced daily with the camorra from death row inmates, such as Roberto Saviano.

Be 'what else to say, the' and Italy 'to 49th place on 175. Before all the countries of Italy there are more 'developed world: United States, Canada , Japan, but also Argentina , Ghana, Greece . Big Trouble in Italy, it takes more than 'courage in the rest of the world to narrate and interpret them in the press. The courage, I would say, not scarce. I think if somebody made the charts on Courage Press, Italy does not hurt and who knows if the caverebbe 'a place that would end the soft Belgian journalists, struggling with the same monotonous gray and trouble for years: The language division between French and Flemish, the closure of nuclear plants, the integration of communities' Muslim. Big big trouble ...

Company Speech Sample

You'll see what they are made


"It's real, it's all true. Nothing is invented. Nothing of what you see on the show is fake, it is simply controlled." The Truman Show.

One of my German friend, good reader of British newspapers, compared to Putin and Berlusconi Italian voters to the Russians. According to him, the masses who vote and support these two bosses are allergic to democracy animated by a subculture of abuse, poorly documented in his essays on political science, but on television screens in mind, resulting in dismally like a macho leader, like it or not, the Russians are proud of Putin who is on an equal footing with the rulers of the world, waving their energy resources as a threat and defends bloody guerracce the boundaries of Great Russia, regardless of human rights in the same way, the Italians are proud of Berlusconi who won I do not know how many European Cups, where ' afford high class whores and some spare time sitting at a table in a gray G8 and revived by the clown.

tell the truth ', the foreign press has always been useful rubbish Italy, cripple the image of a competing country is part of the dirty game of capitalism, and 'happened dozens of times and Italy never fails to offer a good excuse for being rubbish , the massacres by the Red Brigades Mafia. Often they are poorly informed campaigns, focusing more 'in sensationalism than to truly understand the phenomena Italians. However

an international campaign like this on Berlusconi, so 'unanimous and, above all, so' robustly documented, there had never been seen. For once it seems that the goal of influencing policy making in both markets or only secondary. The main interest seems to be a challenge to a regime that is turning a country a fence of isolation, not only in terms of culture and image, with a prime minister who is not well disposed to the rules of democracy and respect for human rights, but also from an economic point of view, with a dangerous exclusion from the rich games in international markets, due to disproportionate debt, public finances in disarray, protectionist anxieties, lack of investment in research and development.

In modern forms, even today's Italy and 'a dictatorship. This is not a traditional dictatorship and the article in the Observer on Sunday of
Nick Cohen describes the key points: "the boss tolerate criticism as long as' do not reach the masses; in a country where TV is the only source of information for more than 80% of the population, control of the TV and 'perfectly compatible with the maintenance of Indian reservations under the strict control of opposition. And ends ", that Italians antiberlusconiani today by 'the illusion of being a sensible and healthy alternative as prime minister," will not give up' to secure a system of control and censorship in which the state has boycotted the newspapers uncomfortable directing people to the desired advertising investments. "

" Silence on Europe Berlusconi, "says Cohen, 'and' cowardly and undermines its ability 'to deal with corrupt politics in other parts of the Union. Europe and 'born to wash their bloody hands War Italy and Germany and give a status of political democracy reliable integrated Spain, Portugal and Greece when they fled dictatorships, has incorporated the former East Germany and all countries of the former Soviet bloc, did not need to integrating the Britain that has never known dictatorship. Faced with Berlusconi for the first time in history, Europe's reputation as a force for integration and democratic 'precarious. Soon to be 'fraudulent'.

I do not know if the predictions of Cohen and Fini are realistic about the European Union, but his analysis of the phenomenon of Berlusconi and 'correct. In Italy we organize events for the freedom' of the press. Free Newspaper and programs are free and are also quality 'higher than other European countries. Saviano and 'translated into all languages. Labor won awards across Europe. A Santoro, a Gabanelli the BBC if he is dreaming. What in Italy and 'unique' that the prime minister works to economically damaging and lead to the closure of these examples of free press and above all, but now there is no more 'case, and' only the fact that the prime minister is exempt from always true with regard to public speakers and contradictory. And 'This is the number one problem of freedom' of the press in Italy: there is a chance 'to put pressure on Berlusconi with the attitudes and the right questions, in public, before his audience, lobotomized by Felt and various Vespa. What is a Di Peter Santoro and without Berlusconi ahead? Naked Gun.

Berlusconi did not fall 'cause there's' no one ready to his legacy, 'cause he has imposed excessive power of the media with his rhythms, language, calendar, and so' rude, vulgar and ignorant in politics it is not a more of such baseness, able to confront it on its land. It 's a unique phenomenon and is not' a political phenomenon. If you were a politician like others, Bersani or Fini would be able 'to happen tomorrow morning. If it was an industry like others, or Montezemolo Valley could replace quietly tonight. But he 's the caudillo, the crude rallies screamer that now no longer hides' want to go to Stand Out dictatorial ways, by hook or by crook, by special laws approved like a great reform of the constitution.

Now, against dictators have never been successful players of the violin. At the sound of a hundred bombs you can answer with strings? But it passes the monastery now. The opposition and 'nothing. The only hope ', then, that the Great Reform go and humiliated him and his petulant old tub of yes-men. No great reform has' come off in the last 60 years. Anyone who has used against the Constitution has failed. De Mita to D'Alema.

Foods With Word Golden

demolition and Belgian Art Nouveau


Two days on the front page and then oblivion. That 's what happens to the dead children of a lesser god, it happens all the time: the victims of the explosion of a runaway train that transports natural gas in Viareggio, the victims, all soldiers south of Kabul in an attack: indeed, to them, 'Forward Luxury: national mourning, a state funeral and, perhaps, dedication of roads, paid- Kabul; victims every day, accidents at work, not just cold statistics but devotes to them, the victims now of Mud Messina. Victims of the mud so to speak, the victims, more 'correctly, the overbuilding and furious ignorant of the territory. Victims themselves, in many cases, because 'the earthworks of the hill to get a base and build the buildings will have taken them. They insist on living in a city 'built on six rivers (not one, six). They insist on regulators to approve plans that provide for a population twice that of the real, so for another twenty years to build suburban homes that will attract innocent and unconscious income families, escaping from the hustle and expensive. The historical centers are full of empty houses, the owners can no longer 'to rent them' to sell, the demands are exorbitant, but they have the time, willing to wait even 10 years the right buyer, but meanwhile the degradation surpasses, maintenance is scarce The quality 'falls.

The city 'is gutted, we dug out all over the world. Brussels from 200 years' buffeted and torn by a continuous whirl of public works. Not enough resources to finance the City 'in the sense of taxes paid by citizens and enterprises: Brussels needs of 500 million € annually disbursed by the reluctant rest of Belgium. Examples of gutting

Brussels. When crossing the Seine Brussels, with its bizarre course, was the source of many tragedies: the floods caused disastrous floods, the dry causing catastrophic epidemics WHEN 'the river bed was filled with liquids of all kinds. In 1865 several cases were studied and finally the mayor Jules Anspach decided to completely empty the water course and replace it with a system of boulevards and tunnels, that would later be used by the railway line. Example of necessary demolition and farsighted.

But the negative examples are numerous: a symbol and 'the construction of the Boulevard Saint-Lazare to connect the northern district of Brussels in the middle. A four-lane strip of asphalt that split in half 'the Jardin Botanique, one of the gardens that are more' envy of Europe, then moved to the northern outskirts of Brussels, in the quiet Meise.
Citta 'cruel, this, around the valley that is home to the Abbey de la Cambre, surrounded by a magnificent garden, stand colossal monster of concrete and glass city' fierce that in 1965 broke down the wonderful Maison du Peuple of Victor Horta, a fine example of Art Nouveau, located between the popular Marolles district and the aristocratic Sablon Square, to make room for a hideous 26-story condominium, town 'who did not hesitate to raze the 'whole Northern Quarter , expropriating its 11 thousand inhabitants, to build ultra-modern towers for offices and hotels. Dark monsters drawn on transparencies with the Hôtel de Maître Art Nouveau more 'beautiful in Europe.

Citta 'contradictory. The city 'by Bruegel and Magritte. The city 'choice Horta for his architectural experiments. The city 'that kills the art in the name of progress post-industrial. But this murderous rampage is not 'not a vocation history. In 1889 he became mayor of Brussels, Charles Buls, known for his uncompromising position on preserving the architectural heritage of the city '. After his election immediately stops any further demolition project of national and indeed demands the reconstruction of a demolished building recklessly on the Grand Place, which promotes comprehensive restoration, and his essay "L'Esthétique des villes" will then have an extraordinary success in Europe, in particular in Italy, where the problem of adapting the historic fabric of the fragile geological and cities 'means of transport and modern production and' always been confirmed.
