L'articolo commenta dicendo che il DEBITO e' dovuto ad un Processo storico e non ad un ’“Eroe/carnefice”. La spesa pubblica e' cresciuta negli anni (come in altri paesi) ma piu' del PIL (che e' cresciuto meno che in altri paesi). Questo ha causato un maggiore indebitamento, che negli anni ha comportato interesssi sul debito poco sostenibili.

Che abbiano o meno isolamento termico, pannelli radianti o  normali termosifoni. L'obiettivo? Passare, dal 2015 in avanti, dalle  caldaie (anche quelle più avanzate, a condensazione) alle pompe di  calore a assorbimento, in cui si ottiene calore per il 70% tramite il  gas e per il 30% sottraendolo all'aria esterna, tramite un circuito di  espansione e condensazione di una miscela acqua-ammoniaca. Risultato  finale: una macchina che arriva a produrre caldo al 140% di efficienza,  sull'energia primaria immessa, contro l'80-90% delle migliori caldaie a  semplice combustione.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Questa, nella sostanza, è la sfida di Heat4u, il progetto europeo (10  milioni di euro per quattro anni sul Settimo programma quadro) che mira  al 2015 a realizzare una linea di pompe di calore ad assorbimento  adatte (e alla portata) del gigantesco mercato residenziale europeo.  Capofila la Robur di Bergamo, leader mondiale su questa tecnologia, ma  insieme altri 14 nomi di vaglia. Dal Fraunhofer Institute all'Enea e al  Politecnico di Milano. Dalla Bosch ed Eo.n a Gaz de France-Suez, British  Gas e Pininfarina. E poi D'Appollonia e la Flowair polacca. «Stiamo  mettendo assieme un team dei 25 migliori tecnologi europei in questo  campo – spiega Luigi Tischer, direttore per lo sviluppo strategico alla  Robur – per arrivare entro quattro anni con dei prodotti a reale misura  di mercato».&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p&gt;Molta strada è già stata fatta. Le pompe di calore ad assorbimento  della Robur, il cui cammino è iniziato nel 1999 con un progetto di  ricerca avviato in Usa con il Dipartimento dell'Energia (Doe), già nel  2004 cominciavano la loro traiettoria industriale. «A oggi ne abbiamo  installate seimila, in prevalenza in istallazioni commerciali – spiega  Benito Guerra, presidente dell'azienda bergamasca – e usano per oltre un  terzo energia rinnovabile, risparmiando circa 9600 tonnellate  equivalenti di petrolio».&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fino ai building commerciali o pubblici i vantaggi sono provati. Ma  le pompe di calore (in generale e quelle ad assorbimento) a fronte dei  loro evidenti vantaggi energetici e ambientali hanno ancora alcuni  handicap: il loro costo iniziale confrontato alle semplici caldaie di  condominio, dimensioni, facilità di installazione, rumorosità.&lt;br /&gt;Di qui  Heat4u. «Lavoreremo su tutti questi parametri – spiega Marco Guerra, il  fisico che ha realizzato in Usa i primi prototipi dei sistemi Robur –  fino ad arrivare a prototipi realmente confrontabili con le caldaie di  riscaldamento attuali, in grado di essere installate negli stessi spazi,  a forti economie di scala in produzione, costi contenuti, lungo ciclo  di vita e bassa rumorosità». &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Guerra indica anche le frontiere di ricerca ancora poco esplorate sui  cicli termodinamici ad assorbimento (i primi brevetti su questi portano  la firma di Einstein). «Abbiamo già raggiunto un'efficienza del 160%  sull'energia primaria immessa ma un potenziale aumento al 190% è più che  realizzabile con una progettazione avanzata del ciclo, con diverse  nuove teorie sviluppate ma mai né simulate né provate in laboratorio.  Solo pochi centri di ricerca, infatti, stanno studiando questa  tecnologia. Che cosa succederebbe se gli sforzi aumentassero almeno a  una piccola frazione di quelli dedicati oggi a campi come le caldaie?».&lt;br /&gt;E  l'avvento delle pompe di calore diffuse quanti posti di lavoro  qualificati, sia in ricerca che in produzione e istallazione, potrebbero  generare?&lt;br /&gt;In gioco, infatti, c'è il 30-40% in meno del costo  energetico (e delle emissioni) per il riscaldamento domestico in Europa.  Una delle maggiori sfide di ricerca e industriali degli ultimi anni.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-7431625599899329539?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/7431625599899329539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=7431625599899329539' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7431625599899329539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7431625599899329539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2012/02/berghem-everywhere.html' title='Berghem everywhere'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-8302534692757598389</id><published>2012-02-02T12:29:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-02-02T12:31:24.131+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ciumbia parliamone'/><title type='text'>Il posto fisso e' monotono</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Altro spunto a me caro: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;TRATTO da NFA: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="info"&gt;&lt;em class="date"&gt;2 febbraio 2012     &lt;/em&gt;•&lt;strong class="author"&gt;&lt;a href="http://noisefromamerika.org/profilo-utente/alberto-bisin"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;             &lt;p&gt;Cosi' ha detto Monti a Matrix. Non l'avesse mai fatto. Un  putiferio. Se avesse letto i commenti su Il Fatto quotidiano ad un mio  articolo un paio di anni fa, avrebbe capito che non era cosa. Io, felice  di aver trovato un alleato - e quale alleato! - mi consolo. E  ripropongo le mie considerazioni, da Il Fatto Quotidiano, 13 Aprile 2011  - cosi' come la mia risposta ai commenti il 22 Aprile.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="fleft w620 grazie f30 grazie grigiotitolo"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Il Fatto Quotidiano, 13 aprile 2011: &lt;/em&gt;Si può essere precari e felici (negli Usa)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;La &lt;a href="http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2011/04/09/precari-in-piazza-a-roma-non-solo-giovani-tanti-40enni-gridano-il-nostro-tempo-e-adesso/103335/" target="_blank"&gt;manifestazione dei precari di sabato&lt;/a&gt; ha  evidenziato ancora una volta le difficili condizioni di lavoro di  coloro che, in Italia, non godono di protezione contrattuale e  l’inefficienza del nostro mercato del lavoro che si manifesta appunto  nel suo eccessivo dualismo: protezione estesa per alcuni e minima per  altri. Molti commentatori reagiscono proponendo una soluzione “morale”: &lt;strong&gt;estendere le protezioni a tutti&lt;/strong&gt;. Spesso abbinata a dichiarazioni da lotta di classe, lavoratori contro padroni.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Come sarebbe bello se fosse così facile. Ai precari manca sicurezza?  Diamogliela. Dove prenderla? Dai padroni (o dai ricchi, o da chi non  paga le tasse, e via discorrendo). Lo dico con ironia, naturalmente, ma  piacerebbe anche a me vivere in un mondo in cui la redistribuzione del  reddito potesse risolvere ogni problema. Non è così purtroppo, estendere  la protezione del lavoro – garantire contratti a tempo indeterminato  con solide garanzie contro il licenziamento – a tutti o quasi si può  fare, ma a un costo: un’ulteriore &lt;strong&gt;riduzione del tasso di occupazione&lt;/strong&gt;,  soprattutto dei giovani e delle donne. È brutto da dirsi ma è così: più  si protegge il lavoro, minore è il numero dei lavoratori protetti (a  meno di non avere salari molto più bassi). &lt;strong&gt;Proteggere costa&lt;/strong&gt;,  riduce la produttività del lavoro e quindi l’occupazione del lavoro  stesso a parità di salario. So che, messa così, è una affermazione  apodittica e che chiunque sappia come trovare o massaggiare un dato  proverà a contraddirmi, a mostrare che la Svezia garantisce protezione e  occupazione e la Gran Bretagna all’opposto non garantisce né protezione  né occupazione. Non è così, mi spiace. Ma entrare in una disamina seria  dei dati non è possibile qui, perché voglio provare a fare un  ragionamento più “leggero”. Chiedo al lettore di credermi, quindi, di  concedermi per una volta il principio di autorità, accettare la mia  provocazione e continuare a leggere. &lt;a href="http://noisefromamerika.org/articolo/posto-fisso-monotono?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+noisefromamerika+%28noiseFromAmeriKa+%3A+Articoli%29"&gt;Link per Continuare l'articolo su NFA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-8302534692757598389?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/8302534692757598389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=8302534692757598389' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/8302534692757598389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/8302534692757598389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2012/02/il-posto-fisso-e-monotono.html' title='Il posto fisso e&apos; monotono'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-5252352476126513480</id><published>2012-02-02T12:26:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2012-02-02T12:28:44.444+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ciumbia parliamone'/><title type='text'>Paternalismo italico</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="column"&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="  font-weight: 700;font-family:'Times';" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Copio questa articolo giratomi con foga da amici...per i vostri penzieri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="  font-weight: 700;font-family:'Times';" &gt;Perché proteggiamo (troppo) i nostri figli &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="  font-weight: 700;font-family:'Times';" &gt;Invece che fare i genitori, ci siamo trasformati a poco a poco nei sindacalisti della nostra prole, sempre pronti a batterci perché venga loro spianata la strada verso il nulla &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="  font-weight: 700;font-family:'Times';font-size:100%;"  &gt;Dunque, ricapitoliamo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:'Times';font-size:100%;"  &gt;I nostri figli hanno diritto ad essere fuori corso anche dopo i 28 anni senza che austeri ministri li definiscano «bamboccioni» o frivoli viceministri diano loro degli «sfigati».

Infatti i nostri figli non devono mantenersi agli studi, perché lo Stato chiede a ciascuno di loro tra i mille e i duemila euro l'anno mentre ne spende in media settemila (e molto di più per formare, per esempio, un medico); dunque a mantenerli agli studi ci pensa la fiscalità generale, cioè le tasse pagate anche da chi i figli all'università non li manda. Frequentando l'ateneo con comodo e senza fretta, i nostri figli hanno anche diritto a che il valore legale della loro laurea sia identico a quello di chi la laurea se l'è sudata un po' di più, magari emigrando, magari in cinque anni, magari in un'università in cui i 110 non fioccano dal cielo, perché in una società veramente egualitaria tutte le lauree devono essere uguali come tutti i gatti di notte devono essere bigi. Se poi i nostri figli per caso volessero continuare la loro carriera universitaria dopo la laurea, hanno diritto a non farlo all'estero, lì dove fuggono i cervelli, ma in patria, lì dove ammuffiscono i cervelli. Naturalmente, hanno infine il diritto di protestare contro questo stato di cose e contro chi ruba loro il futuro, «Occupyando» qua e là tra gli applausi dei contestati medesimi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="  font-weight: 700;font-family:'Times';font-size:100%;"  &gt;Questo elenco di «diritti» può apparire paradossale, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:'Times';font-size:100%;"  &gt;ma è quello che si evince dal dibattito pubblico che in queste settimane si è finalmente acceso sulla questione giovanile (fino a qualche mese fa verteva di più su temi come il mestiere di velina o l'età dell'emancipazione sessuale). Diciamoci la verità: il senso comune degli italiani, in quanto genitori, è questo. Al punto che perfino un governo di professori e di liberali si è ritratto inorridito di fronte all'ipotesi di cancellare il valore legale del titolo di studio, cavallo di battaglia dei professori liberali dai tempi di Einaudi. A questo universo morale in cui non compare mai la parola «dovere», o «responsabilità», si deve aggiungere una crescente condanna popolare e mediatica per il «successo», sempre più considerato solo un'altra manifestazione della tanto deprecata ineguaglianza, quasi come se non si potesse avere successo senza una raccomandazione, un'illegalità, un'evasione fiscale. Ne esce così rafforzato all'inverosimile un malinteso senso di protezione verso i nostri figli; malinteso perché in realtà tradisce una sfiducia collettiva nei loro mezzi, una paura di lasciarli nuotare con le loro forze e il prima possibile, che a sua volta contribuisce a deprimere la loro autostima, assuefacendoli all'insuccesso col metadone di una potente giustificazione morale e sociale. Senza capire che l'unico vero antidoto all'ineguaglianza è la lotta del merito e del talento per emergere negli anni dell'educazione, affrancandosi così dalla condizione sociale, familiare o geografica. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="  font-weight: 700;font-family:'Times';font-size:100%;"  &gt;Protagonisti di questo paternalismo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:'Times';font-size:100%;"  &gt;(o maternalismo) non potevamo che essere noi, la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:'Times';font-size:12.000000pt;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;generazione dei baby boomer , la prima generazione ad aver disobbedito ai padri e la prima ad aver obbedito ai figli. Invece che fare i genitori, ci siamo trasformati a poco a poco nei sindacalisti della nostra prole, sempre pronti a batterci perché venga loro spianata la strada verso il nulla, perché non c'è meta ambiziosa la cui strada non sia impervia. È un grande fenomeno culturale, e sempre più un carattere nazionale, forse in qualche relazione contorta e perversa con il calo delle nascite, come se ne volessimo pochi per poterli coccolare meglio e più a lungo. Ed è un grande fattore di freno alla crescita, non solo economica ma anche psicologica della nazione. Mentre negli Usa infuria il dibattito sulle mamme-tigri, asiatiche che spingono i figli fin oltre il limite della competizione con se stessi e con gli altri, da noi comandano i papà- orsetti, pronti a lenire con il calore del loro abbraccio il freddo del mondo reale, così spietato e competitivo.

Sono super contento, dopo la prima prova a Zurigo, e due a BG, adesso ho sfornato due teglie  a Cape Town.&lt;br /&gt;Ho sperimentato usando sia formaggio cremoso, che mix con formaggio cremoso e pomodorinini, pate' di olive, e anche alcune brioches con blue berries e cioccolato.&lt;br /&gt;Ho incontrato la soddisfazione di tutti, e questo mi sprona a produrre e sperimentare ancora :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' un piatto simpatico e versatile, per pranzi, spuntini o schiscette... ve lo consiglio.&lt;br /&gt;La preparazione e' veloce: uso per adesso pasta sfoglia surgelata (quella x torte salate o vol au vent), e poi taglio il tutto in triangolini, inserisco subito il ripieno, e poi li arrotolo su se stessi. Forno a 200 gradi x 20 minuti...e via. Quick and clean, come piace a me :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-1252671615988131759?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/1252671615988131759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=1252671615988131759' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/1252671615988131759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/1252671615988131759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2012/01/gipflei-croissant.html' title='Gipflei - Croissant'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8OSxT86_AJg/Tx5Za9fgnUI/AAAAAAAAKhE/AOk6Xt2meYw/s72-c/Gipfeli.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-634858881792927280</id><published>2012-01-18T14:56:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T14:57:26.391+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes-Perle'/><title type='text'>I like work (ii)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;"Se si escludono - scriveva &lt;a href="http://www.primolevi.it/Web/Italiano/Contenuti/Biografia" target="_self"&gt;Primo Levi &lt;/a&gt;-  istanti prodigiosi e singoli che il destino ci può donare, l'amare il  proprio lavoro (che purtroppo è privilegio di pochi) costituisce la  migliore approssimazione concreta alla felicità sulla terra: ma questa è  una verità che non molti conoscono".

A memoria, uno degli anni con maggiore slancio e curiosita' per la lettura. Ho ricevuto da cari amici un sacco di titoli caldamente consigliati, o argomenti da volere approfondire... Grazie a tutti per le dritte :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nel 2011 mi ero lanciato a leggere con passione, tanto per intrattenermi durante i viaggi, quanto per rilassarmi di sera o nei week-end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La svolta quantitativa e qualitativa e' avvenuta anche con l'arrivo dell'IPAD (Settembre 2010, crediti al Fra!), che mi ha permesso di apprezzare l'accesso e l'acquisto in tempo record di libri  di nicchia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tento una brevissima valutazione, da 1 a 5 stelle :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Il Conte di Montecristo&lt;/span&gt;, Alexander Dumas (****), un classico capolavoro di avventure affascinanti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ghandi an autobiography: the story of my experiments with truth&lt;/span&gt;, Mohandas Karamchand (***) Non facile da leggere per lo stile, ma una finestra su un modo di pensare e di vivere che ha cambiato la storia di un paese, e ha influenzato il mondo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A long walk to Freedom&lt;/span&gt;, Nelson Mandela (***) Da leggere, per conoscere uno dei grandi uomini del '900.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The people code&lt;/span&gt;, Taylor Hartman (***) Manuale sullo studio e l'analisi della motivazione personale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Destructive Emotions: a Scientific dialogue with the Dalai Lama&lt;/span&gt;, Daniel Goleman (****) Impegnativo saggio sulle emozioni distruttive, sviluppato durante un workshop di scienziati assieme al Dalai Lama.

I believe that my educational background and skills make me uniquely suited to this position. So far in life I have proven myself capable of taking on the challenges required for this position, which I understand pays under $20,000 a year for working in one of the most dangerous countries in the world and undertaking tasks that no one else wants to do.As you can see from my tiny-font, two page resume, I attended a top-level undergraduate university where I excelled at taking on more than I could possibly handle while maintaining a high GPA, completing 12 internships, and finding opportunities to travel to Western Europe where I was enthralled by the ancient architecture and many art museums. My travels prompted me to do a semester abroad where I discovered a disdain for “tourists” who travel in packs taking pictures of 50 monuments in a single day instead of spending hours at cafes drinking wine and smoking like real Europeans. After my study abroad experience, I completed my senior honors thesis on the topic of [insert esoteric topic of no interest to the majority of the world].Upon graduation with highest honors, I took a year to backpack around the world to extremely poor countries where I spent most of my time drinking local beers and posing for pictures with street children. This experience led me to want to help alleviate poverty. I therefore obtained a volunteer position in which I dedicated a couple of years of my life to living in a mud hut. While I did not have cable television, I was able to use this time to&lt;a href="http://stuffexpataidworkerslike.com/2011/03/07/31-using-words-in-other-languages/"&gt; learn curse words&lt;/a&gt; in five tribal languages, grow dreadlocks, drive a &lt;a href="http://stuffexpataidworkerslike.com/2011/01/31/18-motorcycles/"&gt;motorbike&lt;/a&gt;, learn to drum, and discover the real Africa. These skills will undoubtedly prove essential in my future career.After this unique experience, I attended an ivy league graduate school where I obtained a Masters degree in appearing humble while actually making other people feel inadequate and uninformed. From my peers I soon learned that there is a hierarchy to international work, and I became determined to not just help poor people, but to help the poorest and most desperate people, preferably those living in war-torn countries under military dictatorships where the chance of being kidnapped, blown up, or summarily executed is very high. Only by working under the very worst of conditions can I prove to myself and my peers that I am in fact as ballsy as they are and just as willing to die for a project that is under-funded, poorly planned and probably has little chance of actually helping anyone.This experience will allow me to live on a permanent adrenaline rush, which will mean that I do not need to use drugs the way my over-privileged peers do. At the same time, it will allow me to become more arrogant and &lt;a href="http://stuffexpataidworkerslike.com/2011/05/02/52-cynicism/"&gt;cynical&lt;/a&gt; and give me the &lt;a href="http://stuffexpataidworkerslike.com/2011/01/06/12-establishing-field-cred/"&gt;credibility&lt;/a&gt; needed to scoff at anyone who questions the effectiveness of my chosen career. Following this, I intend to return to my home country where I will land a cushy job at a university or think tank and get paid an exorbitant amount of money to create policy guidelines that are not possible to implement in the real world.As you can see I have spent the past seven years of my life working unpaid internships for the friends of my semi well-connected parents, and am enormously in debt as a result of my determination to live in the world’s most expensive city while attending the world’s most expensive graduate school. While my high school friends are married with kids, houses, and cars, I am still using my parent’s address and couch surfing in a city where a glass of wine costs $12. However, a position at your organization will enable me to add to the number of visas in &lt;a href="http://stuffexpataidworkerslike.com/2011/02/02/19-their-passports/"&gt;my passport&lt;/a&gt;, give me stories to tell about being shot at by rebel armies, and imagine that I am helping people by living in poverty with them.Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely,E… W… S…P.S.

Times are tough,  everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular  day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the  local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he  wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the  night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has  walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to  pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs  down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer  takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of  feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and  runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna. The publican slips the money  along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been  facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The  hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel  owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note  back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At  that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100  note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and  leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However,  the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a  lot more optimism. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout  package works&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-7321157234050102909?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/7321157234050102909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=7321157234050102909' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7321157234050102909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7321157234050102909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/12/greece-and-financial-dept.html' title='Greece and Financial dept'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-2187388308550294695</id><published>2011-12-05T20:45:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-05T20:48:58.119+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Ma come Bulogna....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LcfE5I2Ult0/Tt0fxcd8KhI/AAAAAAAAKfo/HjCcEpFryhU/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2011-12-05%2Bat%2B21.08.56.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 187px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LcfE5I2Ult0/Tt0fxcd8KhI/AAAAAAAAKfo/HjCcEpFryhU/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2011-12-05%2Bat%2B21.08.56.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682733239127255570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amici, dopo anni in cui aveva perso lustro,&lt;br /&gt;ecco che sorprendentemente torna allo Zenith la nostra amata Bologna, la mia terra consacrata.&lt;br /&gt;[Fonte: Sole 24 Ore]&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-2187388308550294695?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/2187388308550294695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=2187388308550294695' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/2187388308550294695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/2187388308550294695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/12/ma-come-bulogna.html' title='Ma come Bulogna....'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LcfE5I2Ult0/Tt0fxcd8KhI/AAAAAAAAKfo/HjCcEpFryhU/s72-c/Screen%2BShot%2B2011-12-05%2Bat%2B21.08.56.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-4263287192753167140</id><published>2011-12-05T08:34:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-05T08:40:06.513+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='e-commerce'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business'/><title type='text'>The Zen of Jeff Bezos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="storyCap"&gt;&lt;div class="pgToolsSub"&gt;&lt;span class="pgToolsL"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Here is a really interesting...(ok, for me it is like that, trust me :-) interview with the founder of Amazon. Let me know if you like it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Source:&lt;a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.01/bezos.html"&gt;Wired&lt;/a&gt; By Chris Anderson]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pgToolsR"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="buffer"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.wired.com/c/s.gif" alt="" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Jeff Bezos&lt;/strong&gt;  was launching Amazon.com a decade ago, conventional wisdom held that  300,000 titles would be plenty; the largest physical bookstores couldn't  sell enough volumes to justify half that inventory. Bezos took what he  calls "the bold, stupid path" and stocked his shelves with a million  titles. Smart move: It turned out that early word of mouth came from  people looking for more obscure volumes. These days, the site sells more  than 20 million products, including all 29 colors of the KitchenAid  5-quart mixer. And it's a $6 billion business, thanks to its focus on  niche markets and customer service. &lt;cite&gt;Wired&lt;/cite&gt; caught up with Bezos at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div id="storyInsert"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WIRED: Does Amazon actually create demand for hard-to-find products?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEZOS:&lt;/strong&gt;  Absolutely. We not only help readers find books, we also help books  find readers, with personalized recommendations based on the patterns we  see. I remember one of the first times this struck me. The main book on  the page was on Zen. There were other suggestions for Zen books, and in  the middle of those was a book on how to have a clutter-free desk.  That's not something that a human editor would have ever picked. But  statistically, the people who were interested in the Zen books also  wanted clutter-free desks. The computer is blind to the fact that these  things are dissimilar in some way that's important to humans. It looks  right through that and says yes, try this. And it works. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does this compare with the approach taken by other retailers? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If  you think about the marketing of products, it's easy to see polar  extremes. At one end you have Super Bowl ads selling Coca-Cola or  Budweiser; at the other, you have a sales force pushing an expensive  product to 500 companies. What's difficult to sell is the "hard middle" -  marketing an inexpensive product, where the gross profit per sale is  low, to a small group. A very successful, profitable, midlist book might  sell 15,000 copies. In the old world, finding the right 15,000 people  to buy that book was ridiculously expensive. This is something that  Amazon.com and the Internet in general have really helped with. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does Amazon sell mostly hits, or are sales distributed more evenly between hits and obscure titles?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relative  to the industry as a whole, we're disproportionately weighted toward  harder-to-find titles. People sometimes confuse obscurity with bad  quality.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You launched Search Inside the Book about a year ago. What have been the main effects? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If  you went into a physical bookstore, and all the books were  shrink-wrapped shut, would you sell more that way? Probably not. But for  the first eight years, that's what Amazon.com was. Now there are  hundreds of thousands of books [that can be full-text searched]. Sales  of those books are up 9 percent relative to others. We wondered about  things like cookbooks and reference titles - would people just take the  snippet they need and not buy the book? In fact, by letting people  search inside, sales of these types of books have gone up more than  average. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How much of retail sales do you think eventually will be online, and how much offline? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I  think online ultimately will be 10 to 15 percent of retail. The vast  majority of retailing will stay in the physical world because people  have acute needs, they want things now. Also, there are products, like a  yard rake, where the economics of delivery don't make sense. But a  600-pound table saw is a great item to sell online because it always  gets delivered. And it's expensive enough that there is enough profit in  it to cover the cost of shipping. Plasma TVs, same idea. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do physical bookstores have anything to offer that Amazon doesn't?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One  thing is face-to-face meetings with authors. And what Howard Schultz at  Starbucks likes to call a third place, where people go and sit and  spend time. We humans are a gregarious species; we like to mingle with  other humans.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will physical bookstores ever do print-on-demand?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's  a possibility, but I think that's a pretty small part of what would  happen there. Print-on-demand actually plays more to the strengths of  the online world. We already have many in our catalog, but it's  invisible to you, the customer. We use a number of companies that do the  actual printing, but we mail them like regular books. They look like  regular trade paperbacks.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How about music? Is there a place for a Tower Records in the future?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well,  it's difficult to see how physical stores participate in the digital  distribution of music. Today most music is sold by multi-category  retailers who are cutting back on the square footage they deploy to  music. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What about videos? Netflix says it believes you're going to enter their rental-by-mail business. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our  policy is not to preannounce what we might do. But that is a business  we know something about. One of the big costs here is that an extremely  large fraction of those monthly subscription fees are used to acquire  new customers. Amazon is well positioned to offer a low-priced service  of high quality, and we wouldn't have to pay heavy marketing fees. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In fact, this is a general thing that we've done that has been very  helpful to our business. About three years ago we stopped doing  television advertising. We did a 15-month-long test of TV advertising in  two markets - Portland, Oregon, and Minneapolis - to see how much it  drove our sales. And it worked, but not as much as the kind of price  elasticity we knew we could get from taking those ad dollars and giving  them back to consumers. So we put all that money into lower product  prices and free shipping. That has significantly accelerated the growth  of our business. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this a trend?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, more and more money will go  into making a great customer experience, and less will go into shouting  about the service. Word of mouth is becoming more powerful. If you  offer a great service, people find out. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the magazine world, we rely on ads. Should we be terrified?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm  not saying that advertising is going away. But the balance is shifting.  If today the successful recipe is to put 70 percent of your energy into  shouting about your service and 30 percent into making it great, over  the next 20 years I think that's going to invert.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="bio"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Chris Anderson&lt;/i&gt; (canderson@wiredmag.com)&lt;i&gt; is &lt;/i&gt;Wired&lt;i&gt;'s editor in chief.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-4263287192753167140?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/4263287192753167140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=4263287192753167140' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/4263287192753167140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/4263287192753167140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/12/zen-of-jeff-bezos.html' title='The Zen of Jeff Bezos'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-7360731753575369479</id><published>2011-12-05T07:21:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T11:55:06.539+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>EMPATIA: se piange anche lei...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Om-PZzxFKQ/TtxjDSbuYWI/AAAAAAAAKfc/b2Y5C1nd8Qs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2011-12-05%2Bat%2B08.21.01.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 243px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Om-PZzxFKQ/TtxjDSbuYWI/AAAAAAAAKfc/b2Y5C1nd8Qs/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2011-12-05%2Bat%2B08.21.01.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682525737973604706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Non ho ancora letto tutti i dettagli della manovra, pero', cosi' a distanza, e'  quantomeno l'inizio di una lunga serie di correzioni attese.

La tecnologia stralcia vecchie regole e modelli e apre a  nuove possibilità. Ci piace.

Da oggi per gli  scrittori sarà possibile pubblicare direttamente degli ebook sul Kindle  Store, quindi leggibili anche su iPad, iPhone e device Android e Windows  7, con la piattaforma di self publishing del gruppo di Seattle. Nasce  il self-scrittore o autore fai-da-te che Internet ti dà una mano. Una  mossa che non mancherà di produrre reazioni e lamentele, com'è già  capitato negli altri Paesi, a partire dagli Usa, dove Amazon ha «invaso»  il campo degli editori. Sempre da oggi, inoltre, sarà possibile  acquistare il Kindle wi-fi a 99 euro e soprattutto 16 mila ebook in  italiano grazie all'accordo con i principali gruppi editoriali italiani,  tra cui Rizzoli, Mondadori, Gems e Feltrinelli. Se il ruolo della  tecnologia è rompere schemi e rituali, rinnovare i modelli di business e  rimescolare le carte allora la società di Seattle fondata da Jeff Bezos  lo interpreta al suo meglio. Anche se mai come nello scontro tra new e  old economy è possibile vedere il mondo da due opposti punti di vista e  non capire chi ha ragione o torto: la prima produce posti di lavoro o  distrugge quelli della seconda? Rinnova o destabilizza i modelli  preesistenti? È in qualche maniera una delle cause della crisi oppure si  candida ad esserne la risposta.  &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;LA CHIUSURA DEL CERCHIO AMAZON &lt;/b&gt;- Dopo l'apertura un mese fa del  polo logistico di Piacenza e a meno di un anno dallo sbarco ufficiale  del gruppo in Italia con un sito dedicato, Amazon.it, il cerchio della  piattaforma di e-commerce più grande al mondo si chiude anche da noi.  Manca solo la vendita del Kindle touch e del tablet Fire che negli Usa,  grazie anche a un prezzo iper-concorrenziale (199 dollari) ha già  mostrato di piacere molto ai consumatori americani con vendite record  nel tradizionale black friday, la giornata di sconti che segue il  thanksgiving. Il vicepresident, Diego Piacentini, viaggia sempre più  spesso in Italia e anche pochi giorni fa è atterrato a Milano per  anticipare il senso dell'operazione. «Rispetto alle nostre previsioni i  progetti in Italia hanno subito un’accelerazione notevole, segno che il  mercato dal nostro punto di vista sta rispondendo molto bene» ci ha  spiegato. L’apertura del rubinetto Amazon per gli ebook in italiano  potrebbe essere l’ingrediente che mancava al settore per decollare. Gli  editori italiano erano sbarcati nel libro digitale solo nel 2010 e si  attendevano molto dallo scorso Natale. Ma le vendite di ebook non sono  mai veramente decollate. Ora l’accoppiata Kindle a 99 dollari e  piattaforma con quasi tutti gli editori potrebbe fare da traino.  «Secondo i nostri dati statistici – ha aggiunto il manager – gli utenti  Amazon che decidono di passare al Kindle spendono il 30% in più in  libri, in termini di valore». Un balzo che quindi non può essere  giustificato solo con la maggiore convenienza del libro elettronico che  costa mediamente il 30% in meno rispetto al fratello maggiore cartaceo. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;UN VERO EDITORE?&lt;/b&gt; - Amazon non sarà comunque un vero editore nel  senso classico del termine. Negli Usa il gruppo opera con un marchio  (AmazonEncore) che pubblica anche libri cartacei e seleziona le opere.  Ma qui è lo scrittore stesso che si lancia nel vuoto della  pubblicazione. Amazon fornisce solo gli strumenti tecnologici per ora,  con un supporto anche per l'editing e il marketing digitale grazie alla  piattaforma CreateSpace, una società che nasce dalla fusione di  CustomFlix e BookSurge acquistate da Bezos nel 2005. D'altra parte  mettere delle «parole» su una piattaforma predisposta non costa nulla,  triste paradosso nell'era del digitale. «Gli utenti faranno da filtro –  aggiunge Piacentini – ma ci sarà anche un controllo da parte di Amazon».  Dunque, la selezione delle opere la fa direttamente il mercato anche se  tecnologia ed esseri umani controlleranno che non ci siano offese,  reati come l’apologia di reato o la diffamazione. Il filtro sarà  comunque ex-post, un elemento che potrebbe creare qualche frizione. La  complessa macchina Amazon si avvierà veramente solo quando il gradimento  del pubblico inizierà a premiare un ebook. La politica di «revenue  sharing» con gli editori è complessa ma anni luce più vantaggiosa di  quella tradizionale. Certo, non c'è onestamente il lavoro vero e proprio  di selezione e «invenzione» del libro. Ma gli scrittori-imprenditori  sapranno cogliere l’occasione di lanciare e seguire la propria «start  up-libro» sul web.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;IL CONTRATTO - &lt;/b&gt; Ultimo appunto che interessa gli scrittori in  erba o quelli già navigati che sono stufi del loro rapporto con  l’editore tradizionale. Amazon dice che lascia all’autore il 70%  prendendosi il 30%, contro una percentuale che è tradizionalmente del  7-15% a seconda della forza contrattuale dello scrittore. Ma è una  semplificazione. In realtà esistono due opzioni: con la prima si opta  per la metà (il 35%), una royalty che però sarà applicata in tutti i  Paesi dove Amazon è attiva. In questo caso non vengono sottratte altre  spese se non l’Iva (che comunque per una strana alchimia in Europa per  l’ebook è del 20%, in Italia del 21%, mentre per il cartaceo resta al  4%). Con la seconda opzione, quella del 70%, la royalty viene applicata  solo in alcuni Paesi tra cui Usa, Germania, Francia, Gran Bretagna e, da  oggi, Italia. Per gli altri Paesi vale la prima opzione. In questo caso  viene sottratto un costo di trasmissione del libro in base ai megabytes  (0,12 centesimi di euro per MB). Insomma, in caso di successo c’è anche  da considerare questa postilla. L’opzione di self publishing non  mancherà di preoccupare gli editori come è già successo negli Usa.  Amazon è infatti accusata di voler «monopolizzare« il settore grazie al  controllo totale della pubblicazione e del prezzo. Potrebbe infatti  decidere di applicare ai propri ebook un costo particolarmente basso,  superando alla fonte il problema dello sconto che ora in Italia non può  essere maggiore del 25%. I lettori probabilmente ringrazieranno.  L’industria editoriale no.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Fonte: [Corriere della Sera, &lt;span class="author"&gt;Massimo Sideri]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="author"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-683861086217183234?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/683861086217183234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=683861086217183234' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/683861086217183234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/683861086217183234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/12/amazon-editore-in-italia.html' title='Amazon editore in Italia'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-3817078300326466272</id><published>2011-12-03T20:37:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-03T20:39:12.073+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><title type='text'>Cooperazione Italiana, 2012</title><content type='html'>Fonte: La voce.info&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COOPERAZIONE: LE MOLTE SFIDE DI UN MINISTERO NUOVO&lt;br /&gt;di Iacopo Viciani 01.12.2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo è uno dei campi in cui l'Italia ha perso più terreno rispetto agli altri paesi Ocse. Non solo l'ammontare totale delle risorse stanziate è stato decurtato nel corso degli anni, ma i tagli hanno colpito di più proprio quei paesi poveri dove l'aiuto è più necessario, favorendo quelli medio-ricchi che già beneficiano di un eccessivo afflusso di aiuti. Sarà sufficiente la novità, positiva, di un ministro dedicato per cambiare questo stato di cose? Necessario riformare la legge, anche per risolvere i possibili conflitti con il ministero degli Esteri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il quarto Forum di alto livello sull’efficacia degli aiuti, iniziato il 29 novembre a Busan in Corea, costituisce il punto di arrivo di una serie d’incontri per migliorare l’efficienza gestionale dell’aiuto cominciata a Roma nel 2003: È però anche il primo appuntamento internazionale dedicato alla cooperazione del nuovo esecutivo italiano e il primo incontro a cui partecipa il neo-ministro per la Cooperazione internazionale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'IMPORTANZA DI UN MINISTRO DEDICATO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tra i diciassette ministri del governo Monti c’è, per la prima volta nella storia repubblicana, un ministro senza portafoglio per la Cooperazione internazionale e l’integrazione. La normativa vigente, che inquadra questa politica dal 1987, definisce la cooperazione allo sviluppo come parte integrante della politica estera del paese, perciò la sua rappresentanza politica è generalmente stata affidata a sottosegretari agli Affari esteri, se si esclude la breve esperienza del viceministro degli Esteri del secondo governo Prodi. Nel “Berlusconi 4”, pur con ventisei ministri, la delega alla Cooperazione allo sviluppo l’aveva mantenuta il ministro per gli Affari esteri, insieme a quella per l’Africa e a molte altre.&lt;br /&gt;Con la nomina di un ministro interamente dedicato, la cooperazione internazionale assume piena rilevanza in una compagine governativa ridotta e siede per la prima volta in Consiglio dei ministri. Il segnale è ancora più importante dopo una fase in cui gli aiuti sono stati decurtati tra il 2008 e il 2012 dell'88 per cento e sottolinea la volontà di renderla una politica centrale proprio quando si punta a ridare credibilità internazionale al paese.&lt;br /&gt;Quale impatto potrebbe avere la nomina del ministro su quantità e quantità dell’aiuto italiano?&lt;br /&gt;Regno Unito, Germania, Canada, Lussemburgo, Svezia, Danimarca, Norvegia, Belgio, Nuova Zelanda, Olanda, Finlandia e Irlanda – ossia la metà dei paesi Ocse – hanno un ministro esclusivamente dedicato alla cooperazione allo sviluppo. E tutti figurano nella classifiche degli aiuti internazionali come “buoni donatori” per quantità. Avere un ministro per la cooperazione allo sviluppo sembra dunque giovare agli stanziamenti di bilancio per questa materia. Dal massimo dell’1 o 0,9 per cento di Pil stanziato in aiuti da Lussemburgo, Svezia, Norvegia, Danimarca e Olanda, al minimo dello 0,33 per cento del Canada o dello 0,38 per cento della Germania, si tratta sempre comunque di uno sforzo più che doppio rispetto a quanto fatto dall’Italia.&lt;br /&gt;Nessuno dei paesi “con cooperazione di rango ministeriale” ha tagliato significativamente l’aiuto nel corso dell’attuale crisi economica – neppure l’Irlanda –, come se avere un ministro che ne difende le ragioni garantisse anche la stabilità degli stanziamenti da tagli lineari in periodi di difficoltà economica.&lt;br /&gt;Quanto all’efficacia della cooperazione, negli ultimi cinque anni  alcuni paesi Ocse si sono impegnati nel tentativo di realizzare riforme gestionali entro l’appuntamento di Corea, per ridurre duplicazioni, sprechi e aumentare la trasparenza. La Danimarca è il paese che è riuscito a portare a termine il maggior numero di riforme, seguita da Irlanda, Svezia, Olanda; i peggiori sono stati Belgio, Lussemburgo, Italia, Germania e Finlandia. (1) In sintesi, avere un ministro per la cooperazione non sembra né ostacolare né agevolare una buona gestione. I migliori risultati sono forse dovuti a un forte investimento del “vertice politico” della cooperazione a realizzare riforme che altri hanno trattato come un’agenda tecnica.&lt;br /&gt;In questo campo, l’Italia, ha raggiunto solo due obiettivi. Ad esempio, resta comunque il peggior donatore europeo, che obbliga i paesi in via di sviluppo ad acquistare il made in Italy. Anche sulla trasparenza di dati, il nostro paese ottiene risultati peggiori della Lituania, della Slovacchia, della Lettonia. (2) L’aiuto italiano è meno prevedibile e si concentra in quei paesi su cui tutti i donatori lavorano e non su quelli più bisognosi o che meglio spenderebbero gli aiuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COLPA SOLO DEI TAGLI?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I risultati dell’Italia sull’efficacia dell’aiuto sono ancora più deludenti alla luce del fatto che dal 2008 in poi il governo aveva risposto ai segnali di allarme provocati dai tagli finanziari sottolineando il miglioramento della qualità, opponendo direttamente qualità e quantità. Si tratta di capire se una performance qualitativa così modesta sia legata al drammatico disinvestimento finanziario, che ha provocato una riduzione delle risorse del 78 per cento tra il 2008 e il 2011, o all’incapacità di riformarsi dell’assetto istituzionale-legislativo varato nel 1987. Le conseguenze di policy che se ne traggono sono molto diverse.&lt;br /&gt;La presenza del ministro senza portafoglio per la Cooperazione internazionale e integrazione può essere un’opportunità per ricostruire la credibilità internazionale e una politica pubblica di cooperazione in termini quantitativi e qualitativi solo se si risolveranno alcuni nodi con il ministro degli Esteri. La normativa in vigore dal 1987 rende la cooperazione allo sviluppo parte integrante della politica estera e stabilisce alcune aree su cui ha esplicita competenza il ministro degli Esteri, che può delegare esclusivamente sottosegretari agli Esteri. È il ministro degli Esteri che coordina tutte le attività di cooperazione del settore pubblico, predispone la relazione programmatica, presiede il comitato che approva le iniziative d’intervento e strategiche e firma iniziative d’emergenza.&lt;br /&gt;Se non si realizzassero almeno alcune modifiche alla legge, che dal 1996 si tenta di riformare senza successo, il neo-ministro sarebbe al massimo uno sherpa del presidente del Consiglio con una funzione di rappresentanza e coordinamento tra dicasteri che non potrebbe di fatto esercitare. Nella peggiore delle ipotesi, si creerebbe un conflitto di attribuzioni permanente con il ministro e i sottosegretari degli Affari esteri che renderebbe l’azione di cooperazione dell’Italia ancora più incoerente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) Ocse, Dac – Paris Declaration Monitoring Survey, settembre 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) http://www.publishwhatyoufund.org/resources/index/2011-index/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-3817078300326466272?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/3817078300326466272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=3817078300326466272' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/3817078300326466272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/3817078300326466272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/12/coolerazione-italiana-2012.html' title='Cooperazione Italiana, 2012'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-2236236850609670100</id><published>2011-12-02T15:16:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-02T15:44:00.210+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='baro'/><title type='text'>Rallegramenti</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vkt82A2abTY/Ttjfx64Y5yI/AAAAAAAAKfQ/h0uOJWOVAe4/s1600/Bambino%2Be%2Banguria.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vkt82A2abTY/Ttjfx64Y5yI/AAAAAAAAKfQ/h0uOJWOVAe4/s400/Bambino%2Be%2Banguria.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681536978640234274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gioiosa condivisione: sono diventato Zio di due robusti marmocchi :-)&lt;br /&gt;Il 27 Novembre, il piccolo Samuele ha zompettato in Germania, mentre il 30 e' nata a BG la figlia della cuginetta: Sveva.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come dicevano i nonni: "Diosbandesa"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dicembre in famiglia si prospettera' mooooolto avvincente...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-2236236850609670100?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/2236236850609670100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=2236236850609670100' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/2236236850609670100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/2236236850609670100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/12/rallegramenti.html' title='Rallegramenti'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vkt82A2abTY/Ttjfx64Y5yI/AAAAAAAAKfQ/h0uOJWOVAe4/s72-c/Bambino%2Be%2Banguria.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-5720286066008441490</id><published>2011-12-02T15:02:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-02T15:04:57.824+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ad-art-design-communication'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='South Africa'/><title type='text'>No-one should eat alone...

Negli ultimi 25 anni la percentuale di poveri nei Paesi in  via di sviluppo si è dimezzata, e nell’ultimo decennio abbiamo assistito  a degli straordinari successi sul fronte dello sviluppo in Paesi dove  un tempo si pensava non ci fosse più nulla da fare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A livello globale il tasso di mortalità per i bambini sotto i cinque  anni è sceso di un terzo, e le economie dell’Africa subsahariana sono  cresciute in media del 6% annuo. Ad eccezione dei Paesi fragili e  devastati dai conflitti, gli odierni Paesi poveri sono molti diversi da  quelli del passato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Negli anni Novanta le economie dei Paesi in via di sviluppo  rappresentavano solo un quinto della crescita economica globale. Oggi  molti di essi guidano l’economia globale. Alcuni stimano che entro il  2025 sei importanti economie emergenti (Cina, Corea del Sud, Indonesia,  Brasile, India e Russia) rappresenteranno congiuntamente oltre la metà  dell’intera crescita globale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esistono però anche storie di successo meno note. Prendiamo ad  esempio l’Etiopia, che malgrado una delle peggiori crisi mondiali dei  nostri tempi, è da oltre sette anni consecutivi il Paese africano, con  assenza di risorse, a più rapida crescita e ha raggiunto in media una  crescita del Pil pari all’11% annuo dal 2003. E numerosi Paesi poveri  hanno iniziato a creare istituzioni efficaci, a tenere sotto controllo  la spesa, a gestire i propri bilanci e a fornire maggiori servizi ai  cittadini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se da un lato questi risultati sono straordinari, dall’altro c’è  ancora molto da fare. Paradossalmente, è proprio sulla base di questi  successi che dobbiamo ripensare agli aiuti per lo sviluppo. I Paesi  sviluppati stanno alimentando un prolungamento della crisi, e dal  momento che i Paesi in via di sviluppo hanno generato due terzi della  crescita globale negli ultimi cinque anni, la ripresa a livello mondiale  dipenderà proprio dalle future prestazioni di tali Paesi. In questo  mondo davvero multipolare, il classico rapporto di assistenza tra  donatori e destinatari – che spesso prevede insegnanti e studenti – è  semplicemente obsoleto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando alla fine di novembre gli esperti sul fronte sviluppo si  incontreranno a Busan, in Corea, per discutere come rendere più efficaci  gli aiuti, dovrebbero tenere a mente tre principi fondamentali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primo. Più i Paesi si sviluppano, più sono disposti a prendere in  mano il proprio futuro, e sono meno desiderosi di sentirsi dire cosa sia  meglio per loro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo lo so per esperienza diretta. Quando l’Indonesia fu colpita  dallo tsunami nel 2004, ero un ministro del governo responsabile della  pianificazione. La situazione sembrava insostenibile. Nella sola Aceh  avevano perso la vita 230.000 persone e 500.000 si sono ritrovate senza  un tetto nel giro di una notte. I danni stimati ammontavano ad oltre 4,5  miliardi di dollari, e i costi della ricostruzione erano persino più  elevati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dopo i massicci flussi di aiuti erogati grazie alla straordinaria  generosità dimostrata a livello internazionale, ho presieduto un meeting  sul coordinamento dei soccorsi, cui hanno partecipato centinaia di  esperti in rappresentanza di decina di organizzazioni. Molti non avevano  mai lavorato in Indonesia, ma ciò nonostante hanno creduto di sapere  come potessero essere gestiti al meglio gli aiuti. In un momento di  tensione ho dovuto ricordare a uno dei partecipanti che nessuno era  responsabile del nostro futuro eccetto noi, cioè i cittadini  indonesiani. Sapevamo che senza proprietà locale e leadership, gli aiuti  non avrebbero funzionato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oggi Aceh viene acclamato come un successo in termini di  ricostruzione. Il risultato non è affatto perfetto, ma considerata la  portata della sfida, è impressionante. Molte aree sono state  ricostruite, spesso meglio rispetto al passato. Le persone si sentono  più sicure e hanno ripreso la propria vita. La risposta allo tsunami è  stata una lezione positiva sul fronte degli aiuti ed è stata appresa da  tutte le parti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondo. Man mano che il terreno di sviluppo cresce e si affolla,  con un aumento del numero di donatori e partner, dobbiamo garantire che  tutti i nostri sforzi siano coordinati, e che venga sfruttato il  know-how e le nuove idee che verranno messe sul tavolo dai nuovi  arrivati. Oggi i Paesi dei mercati emergenti hanno spesso bisogno di  denaro e di competenze, come è stato evidente a seguito del terremoto di  Haiti, quando i primi soccorsi sono sopraggiunti dal Brasile e dalla  Colombia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uno degli esempi più noti e più riusciti di questi cosiddetti scambi  Sud-Sud è l’espansione del programma brasiliano Bolsa Familia, che  assegna un salario minimo e alimenti alle famiglie povere che dimostrano  che i figli frequentano la scuola e sono in regola con le vaccinazioni.  Il programma ha consentito una straordinaria riduzione della povertà  del Brasile ed è stato applicato nel vicino Peru, nonché in India e  Cina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una simile iniziativa messicana è stata attuata a New York City,  dove i primi risultati mostrano una riduzione della povertà, un  miglioramento delle condizioni sanitarie e una maggiore frequenza  scolastica – risultati che gli sforzi locali non avevano raggiunto prima  di adottare i modelli testati dai vicini Paesi del Sud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La cooperazione Sud-Sud (e Sud-Nord) dimostra che gli aiuti efficaci  richiedono qualcosa che va oltre il denaro. Conoscenza, esperienza,  competenza tecnica e coordinamento sono parimenti importanti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infine, la trasparenza e la responsabilità sono cruciali ai fini di  un successo a lungo termine. La mancanza di trasparenza può trasformare i  progressi reali in veri e propri fallimenti. In Indonesia, ad esempio,  Suharto, un dittatore benevolo che ha favorito le piccole élite e  lottato contro la povertà, ma che ha permesso che dilagasse la  corruzione, alla fine ha dovuto fare i conti con una popolazione stanca  della mancanza di riforme politiche. Più recentemente, diversi leader  del Medio Oriente e del Nord Africa che hanno prodotto una crescita  forte ma incompleta sono andati incontro a un destino simile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La trasparenza serve sia ai Paesi in via di sviluppo che ai  donatori. La Banca mondiale pubblica ora più informazioni sui suoi  programmi di quanto non abbia mai fatto in passato, e mette  gratuitamente a disposizione di tutti i dati sullo sviluppo. Monitoriamo  altresì le nostre performance e condividiamo i risultati in un sistema  pubblico detto corporate scorecard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man mano che i Paesi ricchi rafforzeranno i propri budget di aiuti e  i Paesi in via di sviluppo diverranno più vulnerabili agli effetti  dell’attuale crisi, la questione non sarà se gli aiuti funzioneranno,  bensì in che modo potranno funzionare meglio. Imparare dagli errori,  lavorare insieme e assicurarsi che i Paesi siano responsabili del  proprio sviluppo sono passi fondamentali per la riuscita dei programmi  di aiuto. Qualsiasi passo indietro darà invece ragione agli scettici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sri Mulyani Indrawati è amministratore delegato della Banca mondiale. È stata ministro delle Finanze dell’Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright: Project Syndicate, 2011.www.project-syndicate.orgTraduzione di Simona Polverino&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-2072094632203049055?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/2072094632203049055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=2072094632203049055' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/2072094632203049055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/2072094632203049055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/11/il-futuro-degli-aiuti-destinati-allo.html' title='Il futuro degli aiuti destinati allo sviluppo'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-4887756330868071804</id><published>2011-11-09T08:54:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-02T15:47:19.922+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='South Africa'/><title type='text'>Three days-off in De Hoop marine reserve</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lu-syytona8/TroyAczJK4I/AAAAAAAAKe8/rw4jEOfLI-0/s1600/more%2Bthan%2Bwords.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lu-syytona8/TroyAczJK4I/AAAAAAAAKe8/rw4jEOfLI-0/s400/more%2Bthan%2Bwords.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672901663938653058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;More than words..&lt;a href="http://www.capenature.co.za/reserves.htm?reserve=De+Hoop+Nature+Reserve"&gt;LINK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-4887756330868071804?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/4887756330868071804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=4887756330868071804' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/4887756330868071804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/4887756330868071804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/11/three-days-off-in-de-hoop-marine.html' title='Three days-off in De Hoop marine reserve'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lu-syytona8/TroyAczJK4I/AAAAAAAAKe8/rw4jEOfLI-0/s72-c/more%2Bthan%2Bwords.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-1395831718186758176</id><published>2011-10-28T14:24:00.011+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-28T15:01:48.012+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='South Africa'/><title type='text'>It is all about beds - 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;7th stop: Musina Lodge, Musina, South Africa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people told me it is the best lodge in Musina.

The Governing Council  considers that pressing action by the Italian authorities is essential  to restore the confidence of investors.&lt;br /&gt;The Euro area Heads of State  or Government summit of 21 July 2011 concluded that «all euro countries  solemnly reaffirm their inflexible determination to honour fully their  own individual sovereign signature and all their commitments to  sustainable fiscal conditions and structural reforms». The Governing  Council considers that Italy needs to urgently underpin the standing of  its sovereign signature and its commitment to fiscal sustainability and  structural reforms.&lt;br /&gt;The Italian Government has decided to pursue a  balanced budget in 2014 and, to this purpose, has recently introduced a  fiscal package. These are important steps, but not sufficient.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;At the current juncture, we consider the following measures as essential:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  We see a need for significant measures to enhance potential growth. A  few recent decisions taken by the Government move in this direction;  other measures are under discussion with social partners. However, more  needs to be done and it is crucial to go forward decisively. Key  challenges are to increase competition, particularly in services to  improve the quality of public services and to design regulatory and  fiscal systems better suited to support firms' competitiveness and  efficiency of the labour market.&lt;br /&gt;a) A comprehensive, far-reaching and  credible reform strategy, including the full liberalisation of local  public services and of professional services is needed. This should  apply particularly to the provision of local services through large  scale privatizations.&lt;br /&gt;b) There is also a need to further reform the  collective wage bargaining system allowing firm-level agreements to  tailor wages and working conditions to firms' specific needs and  increasing their relevance with respect to other layers of negotiations.  The June 28 agreement between the main trade unions and the industrial  businesses associations moves in this direction.&lt;br /&gt;c) A thorough review  of the rules regulating the hiring and dismissal of employees should be  adopted in conjunction with the establishment of an unemployment  insurance system and a set of active labour market policies capable of  easing the reallocation of resources towards the more competitive firms  and sectors.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. T&lt;b&gt;he government needs to take immediate and bold measures &lt;/b&gt;to ensuring the sustainability of public finances.&lt;br /&gt;a)  Additional-corrective fiscal measures is needed. We consider essential  for the Italian authorities to frontload the measures adopted in the  July 2011 package by at least one year. The aim should be to achieve a  better-than-planned fiscal deficit in 2011, a net borrowing of 1.0% in  2012 and a balanced budget in 2013, mainly via expenditure cuts. It is  possible to intervene further in the pension system, making more  stringent the eligibility criteria for seniority pensions and rapidly  aligning the retirement age of women in the private sector to that  established for public employees. thereby achieving savings already in  2012. In addition, the goverment should consider significantly reducing  the cost of public employees, by strenghtening turnover rules and, if  necessary, by reducing wages.&lt;br /&gt;b) An automatic deficit reducing clause  should be introduced stating that any slippages from deficit targets  will be automatically compensated through horizontal cuts on  discretionary expenditures.&lt;br /&gt;c) Borrowing, including commercial debt  and expenditures of regional and local governments should be placed  under tight control, in line with the principles of the ongoing reform  of intergovernmental fiscal relations.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;In view of the severity of the current financial market situation&lt;/b&gt;,  we regard as crucial that all actions listed in section 1 and 2 above  be taken as soon as possible with decree-laws, followed by Parliamentary  ratification by end September 2011. A constitutional reform tightening  fiscal rules would also be appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;3. We also encourage the  government to immediately take measures to ensure a major overhaul of  the public administration in order to improve administrative efficiency  and business friendliness. In public entities the use of performance  indicators should be systematic (especially in the health, education and  judiciary systems). There is a need for a strong commitment to abolish  or consolidate some intermediary administrative layers (such as the  provinces). Actions aimed at exploiting economies of scale in local  public services should be strengthened.&lt;br /&gt;We trust that the Government will take all the appropriate actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; Mario Draghi, Jean-Claude Trichet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;29 settembre 2011 08:27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="copy"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-4881956544631070367?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/4881956544631070367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=4881956544631070367' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/4881956544631070367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/4881956544631070367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/09/trichet-e-draghi-unazione-pressante-per.html' title='Trichet e Draghi: un&apos;azione pressante per ristabilire la fiducia degli investitori'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-8870991881343518331</id><published>2011-09-29T10:02:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T16:19:49.573+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='South Africa'/><title type='text'>5772 - Shana' Tova'</title><content type='html'>Dear all, happy new year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not science-fiction: we are in the year 5772 :-)&lt;br /&gt;It is one of the great things about living in a Jewish neighborhood: the discovery of new traditions, holidays...and food! :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6vieCrj4Eig/ToQm9HO5hjI/AAAAAAAAKb0/JB3RMoXCrRw/s1600/Shana%2BTova.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 187px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6vieCrj4Eig/ToQm9HO5hjI/AAAAAAAAKb0/JB3RMoXCrRw/s400/Shana%2BTova.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657689863239599666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Shalom !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-8870991881343518331?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/8870991881343518331/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=8870991881343518331' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/8870991881343518331'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/8870991881343518331'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/09/5772-shana-tova.html' title='5772 - Shana&apos; Tova&apos;'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6vieCrj4Eig/ToQm9HO5hjI/AAAAAAAAKb0/JB3RMoXCrRw/s72-c/Shana%2BTova.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-927719770459118164</id><published>2011-09-27T11:57:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-27T16:54:56.285+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Development'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes-Perle'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business'/><title type='text'>Scenario planning</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Un antico proverbio arabo dice che colui che predica il futuro mente anche quando dice la verita'&lt;/span&gt;.

It is understood that Tremonti asked the Chinese  delegation to consider buying Italy's sovereign debt and making  strategic investments in Italian companies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Italian treasury  declined to give details of the meeting, but traders were encouraged  that Beijing might use its financial muscle to help the eurozone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;News  of the talks came as Barack Obama warned that the world economy would  suffer badly if Spain and Italy were sucked deeper into the &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/debt-crisis" title="More from guardian.co.uk on European debt crisis"&gt;European debt crisis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/greece" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Greece"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt;  is obviously the biggest immediate problem. And they're taking some  steps to slow the crisis but not solve the crisis," Obama said, at a  roundtable of Spanish journalists in Washington. "The bigger problem is  what happens in Spain and Italy if the markets keep making a run at  those very big countries," the president added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite  confirmation of the China talks, Italy was forced to pay record levels  when it sold €6.5bn (£5.6bn) of government debt on Tuesday morning. The  yield, or interest rate, on Italian five-year bonds rose to 5.6% at the  auction, a euro-era record.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904353504576566112369121524.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" title=""&gt;Italy's borrowing costs had also jumped on Monday&lt;/a&gt; amid fears that Greece could default on its debts and &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/sep/12/shares-fall-greek-default" title=""&gt;fall out of the eurozone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Helping hand?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back  in June, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao said China could offer "a helping  hand" to Europe by investing in sovereign bonds. Analysts, though,  questioned whether China would provide a significant amount of funding  for troubled European countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We have heard this story before  with regard to the likes of Spanish and Portuguese bonds and in the end  it was the European Central Bank buying and EU bailouts that seemed to  have taken place rather than anything with a Chinese influence," said  Gary Jenkins, head of fixed income research at Evolution Securities. "If  it really came to pass then it would provide an immediate confidence  boost. I just won't hold my breath."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Silvio Berlusconi's  government is pushing an austerity budget through parliament in an  effort to cut its deficit and persuade the financial markets that it  remains solid. But the plan has been dogged by political infighting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert O'Daly of the Economist Intelligence Unit warned that a deal with China would only buy Italy limited time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"To  restore market confidence the Italian government will have to put aside  its internal wrangling to implement the programme of fiscal austerity  presented to parliament on 1 September and at the same time come up with  a coherent medium-term strategy to improve the country's dismal  economic growth performance," O'Daly said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Given the differences  within the ruling coalition and prime minister Berlusconi's ongoing  problems with the judiciary that does not seem likely to happen," he  added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;News of the talks sparked a rally in Asia, where Japan's  Nikkei closed nearly 1% higher. But European markets saw further losses,  with the FTSE 100 down 44 points at 5084 in mid-morning trading.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In  the bond markets, the yield – interest rate – on 10-year Greek debt hit  a new record high of 25% in early trading. UK government bonds rose in  value again, pushing down the yields on the 10-year gilt to another  record low of 2.175%.

The &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;20% VAT bracket will be raised to 21%&lt;/span&gt; and a special 3% levy will be  imposed on incomes of more than €500,000 (£439,000). Berlusconi said  ministers would approve a new "golden rule" in the constitution on  balanced budgets and simplify local government.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A strike in Rome  on Tuesday  showed the strength of feeling that richer Italians had  escaped tax rises and spending cuts.

Scrivere non è come osservare o parlare, doti innate:  scrivere deve essere insegnato, e questa azione è stata prerogativa di  pochi.” [&lt;/em&gt;Anne Trubek]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stavo leggendo del "&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrittura_corsiva"&gt;Corsivo&lt;/a&gt;"[wikipedia], la scrituttura che avevamo imparato ad usare...e che in pochi forse, ancora usiamo. In questi giorni, prendendo appunti, ho deciso di recuperarla. Mi esce a fatica, ma la mano riconosce il tratto, come un'abitudine appresa in una vita precedente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' un piacere artistico scrivere in corsico, riga dopo riga. Dopo poco, la mano scivola agile, con meno interruzioni, con minori scatti. Fa ricordare il piacere di scrivere, dello scrivere su un tavolo, su un foglio bianco. Favorisce e determina un'atmosfera quasi d'altri tempi: il calamaio, la carta assorbente, la stilografica. Andando ancora piu' indietro con la memoria, ci si puo' ricordare dei quadernetti a righe, code si imparava a scrivere le lettere piccole e grandi, maiuscole e minuscole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quelle erano grandi soddisfazioni :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gia', il piacere della scrittura o meglio, dello scrivere. Leggere gli appunti dei propri cari, dei nonni, e riconoscere il tratto, vederne la storia, il tempo che passa.

And if you’ve been an EAW for a while, you know there’s no topic more  taboo than admitting you watch television. &lt;p&gt;EAWs would rather admit they have a VD (“Funny story, so I was in  Namibia with Barb and Steve…”) than that they watched last week’s  episode of “How I Met Your Mother.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Oh, I only turn it on occasionally.  Rarely, if ever.  Now where’s  my remote?  And only for the news.  BBC mostly….sometimes Al Jazeera.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-7157339793576935893?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/7157339793576935893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=7157339793576935893' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7157339793576935893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7157339793576935893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/08/attitude-towards-tv.html' title='About being cool!

Photograph: Ismail  Taxta/Reuters&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;div id="article-body-blocks"&gt;      &lt;p&gt;A massive drought, as if out of nowhere, &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/2011/jul/20/un-declares-famine-somalia" title=""&gt;has settled over the Horn of Africa&lt;/a&gt;  and the people fleeing to the camps are said to be "climate", "drought"  or "environmental" refugees. The land, we are told by the international  agencies rushing relief to the region, can no longer support its  people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fifty or so years ago, the region had regular 10-year  climatic cycles which were mostly followed by a major drought, and now  the droughts are coming more frequently and are lasting longer. In the  1970s, say the pastoralists – the nomadic herders who move their cattle  ceaselessly across the region in search of pasture – they started having  droughts every seven years; in the 1980s they came about every five  years and in the 1990s every two or three. Since 2000 there have been  three major droughts and several dry spells, this one being not the  worst, just the latest. "There is no doubt that it is hotter and drier  now," said Leina Mpoke, a Maasai vet I met working on the Kenya-Ethiopia  border that is now on the frontline of disaster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is also no  doubt that climate change will make these areas of Africa harder to  live in in future. But to pin this crisis on drought or climate change  is wrong. This is an entirely predictable, traditional, man-made  disaster, with little new about it except the numbers of people on the  move and perhaps the numbers of children dying near the cameras. The 10  million people who the governments warn are at risk of famine this year  are the same 10 million who have clung on in the region through the last  four droughts and were mostly being kept alive by feeding programmes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  fleeing Somalis seen on TV are the same people the UN warned about in  2008 when it said that one in six were at risk of starvation. &lt;a href="http://www.wfp.org/about/executive-director" title=""&gt;Josette Sheeran&lt;/a&gt;,  head of the UN's world food programme, appealed for $300m emergency aid  this week – just as she did in 2008 when she told of "a silent tsunami  [of hunger] gathering". And the same governments who were slow to  respond to the emergency then are the ones who have been unwilling to  help now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nor was the crisis unexpected. The rains failed early  this year in Kenya and Ethiopia, and there has been next to none for two  years now in Somalia. Aid agencies and governments have known for  almost a year that food would run out by now. But it is only now, when  the children begin to die and the cattle have been sold or died that the  global humanitarian machine has moved in, with its TV shows,  co-ordinated appeals and celebrities. Why did it not go earlier? Because  it takes months to prepare properly for a disaster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just as in  2008, the war in Somalia is primarily responsible for the worst that is  happening. As Simon Levine of the Overseas Development Institute says:  "Wars don't kill many people directly but can kill millions through the  way they render them totally vulnerable to the kinds of problems they  should be able to cope with." In this case, he says, people have lost  all their assets and can't access grazing grounds they need. But  remember too, that Somalia has been made a war zone by the US-led "war  on terror". It's our fault as much as anyone's.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But another, more  insidious war has also been taking place across the region. This one is  being waged by governments and businesses against the pastoralists. Over  the years, they have been steadily marginalised and discriminated  against by Ugandan, Kenyan and Ethiopian governments, and now they are  further jeopardised by large-scale farming, the expansion of national  parks, and game reserves and conservation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the politicians in  Lusaka, Nairobi or Addis, the lifestyle of these people seems archaic  and outmoded. They are said to be outside mainstream national  development, and to be pursuing a way of life that is in crisis and  decline. So the politicians think little of taking away their dry season  grazing grounds or blocking their traditional routes to pasture land.  However, as seen in major international studies, the pastoralists  produce more and better quality meat and generate more cash per hectare  than "modern" Australian and US ranches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead of starving the  region's people of funds and then picking up the pieces in the bad years  – as governments must do now – Britain, the EU, the US and Japan must  help people adapt to the hotter, drier conditions they face. With better  pumps and boreholes, better vaccination of cattle, help with education,  food storage and transport, people can live well again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This  emergency will cost the west around $400m. If this money was put into  long-term development instead of emergency aid and feeding programmes  that keep people just above starvation, this tragedy could have been  avoided. Instead, the world is almost certain to be here again in one or  two years' time. Next time, though, there will be no excuses.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;                                                                    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-5571257105392879191?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/5571257105392879191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=5571257105392879191' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/5571257105392879191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/5571257105392879191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/07/to-pin-somalia-crisis-on-drought-is.html' title='To pin the Somalia crisis on drought is wrong.

Abbiamo lasciato la nostra prima casetta Ananda, dove ho condiviso momenti bellissimi con Fra e famiglia, Sem e Sara, Lele e Sara e negli ultimi mesi con Cri. Insomma, la si sentiva casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vicissitudini varie hanno motivato un cambio repentino. Grasie al cielo, abbiamo trovato da infilarci temporaneamente per due mesi nella casuccia del capo, che adesso è in ferie! Nel mentre, si cerchera' un altro appartamento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intanto in questi giorni cerchero' di correre a casa presto, per godermi la vista dei tramonti. Che dire, a Cri e a me, piace  :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-7253900340790248020?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/7253900340790248020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=7253900340790248020' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7253900340790248020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7253900340790248020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/07/rear-window-in-cape-town.html' title='The rear window in Cape Town'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvE4aTEMpbU/ThXlDrP_86I/AAAAAAAAKWU/KXRbVQLFLQA/s72-c/IMG_0006.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-659745791066983872</id><published>2011-07-07T09:21:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T09:25:38.004+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes-Perle'/><title type='text'>Just walk</title><content type='html'>Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/s/steven_wright.html" target="_blank"&gt;Steven Wright&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading this quote, It came to my mind an adv of the Whiskey label Johnnie Walker that I saw few weeks ago.

Independent, unrestrictedly accessible, and  non-commercial. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This achievement made WIKIPEDIA a pioneer of cultural change  because WIKIPEDIA transferred the tradition of knowledge exchange into  the new, digital age. Thus creating a unique place of knowledge exchange  in the history of civilization. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is why as a cross-border cultural achievement, WIKIPEDIA  deserves recognition and protection as UNESCO’s first digital World  Cultural Heritage Site. If you share this opinion, we appeal for you to  sign the petition. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21662943-7916584913045270?l=paroladibaro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/feeds/7916584913045270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21662943&amp;postID=7916584913045270' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7916584913045270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21662943/posts/default/7916584913045270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paroladibaro.blogspot.com/2011/07/wikipedia-for-world-heritage-petition.html' title='Wikipedia for World Heritage - Petition'/><author><name>BA'AL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06538051743508717982</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dd_eHo6-HAI/Ty-HEMwYlhI/AAAAAAAAKik/LUT8G8Cd_Kk/s220/baal.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21662943.post-7094303858855183340</id><published>2011-06-27T14:43:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-04T09:01:40.532+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Food-cuisine'/><title type='text'>Uovo in camicia / poached eggs/ Œufs pochés</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/klx9onYL3Js" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amici, ammetto che in questi mesi ho apprezzato tantissimi modi per cucinare le uova a colazione.&lt;br /&gt;Devo dire che l'uovo in camicia mi piace parecchio...e ripropongo uno trovato online che sembra promettente!&lt;br /&gt;Che ne pensate?

Quali le regole, i codici, le procedure e come o quando si  eleggono i propri rappresentanti, cioe’ chi parla per te? Chi e’ stato?  Prima dello stato Italiano c’e’ uno studio da fare sullo stato delle  cose, sul governo e sul parlamento dello stato interiore (e non  inferiore), su un mondo che non si vede, sulla condizione invisibile che  ci allontana e ci avvicina all’incredibile, all’inconcepibile,  all’inaudito, all’impensabile (da cui deriva l’abile l’amabile  l’inguardabile il disabile e l’incolmabile…). Non voglio dividere in  fazioni come Pro-vita e no, non voglio un contro, (non si può più sentir  dire “in quelle condizioni possono partorire” né ”così meglio morire  subito”); ora più che mai necessita una “tavola rotonda e profonda”, sui  concetti di fine, utile, vivo, vegeto, inerte e questa tavola la deve  apparecchiare ognuno di noi ben prima dei fatti della cronaca, della  giurisprudenza, della religione,  della scienza o dei partiti.Concetti  come silenzio, assenza, diversità, paura, cambiamento sono come enormi  aerei che richiedono per atterrare e essere tradotti, piste lunghissime e  questo e’ il lavoro che deve fare ognuno di noi ogni attimo: allargare  la strettoia del pensare, ingrandire la ricerca ulteriore ed interiore   che purtroppo comincia solo se siamo coinvolti  e colpiti dal dramma o  dall’accadimento. Qualsiasi testamento si voglia fare o destino  scegliere quando sarà il momento, è importante lavorare prima anche su  altri momenti, su altre inquadrature che possono farti scoprire  condizioni dell’essere e dell’esistere che nessuno ti aveva mai  raccontato.Questo non per convincere ne per vincere, non per battere e  aver ragione ma per sapere un’altra lingua oltre la nostra, per udire e  captare altri toni sinfonie diverse (come “Nessun Dogma….).Lo so che è  tutto più chiaro quando un Pistorius ci narra le sue gesta di un “Super  tornato come noi”(o anche meglio)… Il problema e la complessità nasce  quando magari la tua vita non torna ne come ne meglio di prima e anzi  promette stasi mimica e suoni inascoltabili o impercepibili: lì ci si  deve incontrare (con se stessi o con altri) a leggere, a disegnare, a  scolpire, a recitare, a scrivere, a pensare “anche di altro   stato”.Molto difficile farlo quando l’idea di corpo, di produzione, di  successo, di bellezza, di campione, di bravura allaga spesso il nostro  Stato, dissangua parole e concetti per trasfusioni di poco e di leggero,  quando da molto tempo tutti noi ci accontentiamo di scaramanzia o  auting di attualità, o effetti-fiction della vita informativo mediatica.&lt;br /&gt;Alla ricerca di nuovi palinsesti culturali, antropologici, spirituali, filosofici e artistici, aspettiamoci in altri dove".&lt;div class="corpo"&gt;
