Holy innocence…

…holy innocence that believes in fairy tales!!

They do not know about the new coal plants that China is installing, they do not know how much coal Germany burns or how much India will continue to pollute along with so many emerging countries……. or maybe they know it, but it is easier to parade in Europe and it is so difficult to give up the comforts to which young people and the last generations have been accustomed; how many high-tech products or low-cost products in common use come from the hungry Chinese dragon?

Children parade through the cities against coal pollution … and feel like protagonists in the world by getting up for a few hours from the comfortable sofa!

All this would not be worrying, indeed it would be preparatory to a better world if they were conscious and aware of the words shouted with the integralist Greta.

Ridiculous are the announcements of Europe that has discovered itself at the head of the row in the fight against pollution and also for Human Rights … ridiculous because industry cannot be forced too much into the ecological transition, just as it cannot be made to pay stratospheric bills electricity to the population; ridiculous because Human Rights are invoked while the Taliban are left to run around; ridiculous because most of the polluting countries are rushing to armaments and don’t give a damn about the European announcements, much less about the parades of young people.

The world thinks about producing and doesn’t care about smoking. Europe, on the other hand, torment our already overly regulated businesses and find excuses for new taxes while young people hangs on Greta’s words.

HOW WILL EUROPE EXPORT THE BEAUTIFUL THEORIES TO THE WORLD?

But do the politicians who follow Greta’s rally, claiming to be attentive to the kids’ proposals, have any ideas or are they just joining a great media show?

The effects on climate change are there for all to see and people are quite aware of them even if  those who are hungry they are more inclined to endure climate change to ensure, immediately, a dish to put on the table; while wealthy people will hardly give up on acquired comforts and ordinary people will not be able to pay exorbitant bills or will find themselves having problems with what to put at the table for lunch.

The problem is truly alarming and complex, but it will hardly be solved with the protests of young people or the ignorance of political leaders.

The financial system and industrial globalization have increased the production of carbon dioxide by forcing the uncontrolled growth of monopoly giants and increasing intercontinental transport …. why in Europe we have to consume Argentine lemons after they have crossed the ocean in all seasons? Why have we industrialized traditionally agricultural countries?

Now, do we think that finance can go green? … only dollars are green!

The problem is not the cars (already technologically capable of almost eliminating pollution) that we want to transform to electric propulsion and the solution is not the gigantic wind turbines that are transforming the landscapes (already suffering from the whims of the wind and costing a fortune in energy terms to build them)…all of this just puts more dollars in motion!

Europe and the world need enlightened politicians, we must stop wasting to feed a financial system that has the bug of continuous growth in it.
We need governments financed by the people and not monopolies that intercept the wealth of the people through the entrapment of the people. We need banks that will go back to banking: collecting savings and investing in businesses that are useful to the territory and not to unknown, distant, sorcerers.

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE WORLD HAS LOST ITS MOLD TO MANUFACTURE ILLUMINATED POLITICIANS: SCHOOL AND EDUCATION …

THE CHILDREN SHOULD STUDY FOR THE FUTURE, NOT TO MANIFEST USELESS, HAPPENING THE FABLES OF THOSE WHO INSTRUMENTALIZE THEM. POSSIBLY, PROTEST AND FIGHT AFTER KNOWLEDGE.

WHO WON IN AFGHANISTAN?

Many have earned enormous amounts of money thanks to the twenty years of war in Afghanistan since 2001: the deaths in the Twin Towers were thus avenged.

The names are the usual suspects: Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman.

An analysis by The Intercept newspaper explained that those who had invested 10,000 dollars buying shares in the five largest groups in the US defense sector 20 years later find more than 97,000 in their pockets.

The right to continue to be omnivorous

In recent years of economic crisis, characterized by youth unemployment rates
important, many young people are moving towards sectors that should be affected by
crisis less than others. Since man’s primary need is food, activities
human beings related to food production are
necessarily those that can provide the
greater employment opportunities.
To get the most out of any activity, the first fundamental requirement is to possess the scientific-technical knowledge of
disciplines that underlie that activity. It seems a more than obvious observation, that
many young people seem to have a clear understanding of
choice of their field of study, but what for
many others, starting with our politicians, seem unfortunately to have no basis.
Among the many and varied disciplines that are
at the base of agricultural production activities, the
animal husbandry occupies a prominent place, too
if blamed by animal rights activists, vegetarians or
they are vegan. Without prejudice to the right to
continue to be omnivorous, as the evolution of the species has formed us, is appropriate
emphasize the nutritional superiority of
foods of animal origin than those
of vegetable origin. Animal proteins have a much better biological value than vegetable proteins; minerals from animal foods are more
available and similar to those made
from plant foods; some fatty acids of
recognized health value, such as w-3
or trans 11, are found predominantly in the
ruminant milk and fish.

ALITALIA HISTORY

The creation of the Italian Transcontinental Airline, LATI, between Italy and Brazil for the transport of goods and people was the work of the son of the Duce, Bruno.
On October 28, 1934 (the day of the twelfth anniversary of the March on Rome), the Mediterranean Air Company SAM) became “Ala Littoria S.A.”, a name that Mussolini himself was pleased to suggest.
The new company went on to summarize almost all of the Italian air services. At the same time it was also decided to move the offices of the General Management, from via Regina Elena to the Littorio airport, where the new headquarters had been built.


After the Second World War, LAI S.p.A. (Airlines
Italiane) was founded in 1946 to restart regular scheduled services in Italy after the end of the war.
On 5 May 1947 Alitalia-Aereolinee Italiane Internazionali made the first national flight Turin – Rome – Catania with a Fiat G-12 E. … Alitalia L.A.I. was born. Alitalia merges with LAI and becomes Alitalia – Italian Airlines with 3,000 employees and a fleet of 37 aircraft

Leveraging livestock for human nutrition

Livestock are a key resource for economic growth in many countries, both at national and household level. Animals are important assets and an essential source of income for livestock-keeping households. 

Well-managed and utilized livestock can play an important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

The livestock sector plays a crucial role in the social and economic development of a country, especially in low- and middle-income countries. It directly supports the livelihoods of 600 million poor smallholder farmers in the developing world. Livestock are a direct and indirect source of food for rural and urban households. It is estimated that livestock-derived foods, or animal-source foods (ASF), contribute 18% of global food energy consumption and 34% of global protein consumption (FAOSTAT, 2016). ASF are a unique source of high-quality proteins and bioavailable essential vitamins and minerals. 

Leveraging the potential of livestock and optimizing efficiency in production systems is now more important than ever before given the current global food security and nutrition situation.

Silver medal

Euro 2020, the silver medal rejected by the British. A scandal? No, an established practice in sport.

In the last season, the English club teams that finished second in European competitions have accustomed us to this unsportsmanlike practice. But the removal of the silver medal is a phenomenon that has also affected Italian players and teams.

 

When the England captain was asked after the match whether the silver medal was a success or a missed opportunity, the Tottenham forward replied: “Definitely a missed opportunity.” Coach Gareth Southgate, on the other hand, was among the few to hold the medal proudly around his neck. To be fair, the gesture of Kane, Shaw, Foden, Grealish, Mount, Phillips, Stones, Rashford and his companions is not an isolated case in the history of football finals. Indeed, it seems that it is an increasingly popular trend. A couple of months ago, some Manchester City players, after losing the Champions League final to Chelsea, took away the second place medal right after receiving it. Same thing for the Manchester United athletes, defeated by Villarreal on penalties in the Europa League final. Still remaining across the Channel, but speaking of an oval ball, the English rugby players, in 2019, chose not to wear the silver medal after losing the World Cup final against South Africa

Even Italian football is not exempt from this unsportsmanlike practice. Going back to 2013, in the final of the Italian Cup between Rome and Lazio won by the biancocelesti 0-1, the images of Francesco Totti and his companions are impressed with each other removing the silver medal with a funeral face. Alessandro Florenzi, who was Romanist at the time, also took away his prize. Yesterday, at Wembley, the only veteran of that derby eight years ago, he would have had no reason to do so. Two years ago, Lazio as the protagonist, the social controversy against the Juventus champion, Cristiano Ronaldo, who, defeated in the Italian supercup final, immediately removed the second place medal from his neck.

PESCANDO ALL’INFERNO

PESCANDO ALL’INFERNO

(di Romano Pisciotti)

Le rabbiose onde

di Nettuno,

impavidi eserciti

scagliati sulle rocce

in furiosi assalti,

reclamano spazi

terre e vite.

Sulla muraglia,

a picco sull’inferno,

si radunano donne

in preghiera silenziosa 

per chi,

in mare aperto,

non ha riparo.

Madri e spose

pregano 

per uomini coraggiosi,

stremati dalle reti,

che devono trovare

luce e forza 

per tornare vivi.
