Left Head And Neck Pain

DO NOT HAVE A NAME ONLY ... MOTHER EARTH



Nichi Vendola, its blog.

Do not have a single name, you're a person plural, you're a host, six male and female. Yet I
writes thinks as an individual, indeed, as an individual. Yes, as a student, and not some hairy for gallantry, but because the "thing" that embodies is so little militarized and hierarchical, which gives me a declination in the "feminine" of the thoughts that inspire me. So, dear student anti-Gelmini: I spy, you smell, I try to decipher your vocabulary, try to guess your tastes and passions. Your face is too small for my Ida, who went to his baptism with the square with the seriousness with which it is presented to a school exam. Her first parade. I forced myself, as a matter of health policy, not to make comparisons (68, 77, 85, and the leopard): those comparisons that say a lot about our old age of youth and a little of who composes the new forms of rebellion in power. I tried not to superimpose my epic, my biography, my ideology, the social body that you represent, the cultural process that you build, the radical contradiction that you blow up with the imagination and the sarcasm of your communication codes and your counter-information. You are, though still more wires hanging from adolescence, a mature and uncompromising demand for democracy and you have not understood that to be reduced to the vulgarity of advertising and tele-voting, democracy can only live and regenerate the report with the cultures, the socialization of knowledge critical to the daily re-weaving of networks of civilization node and conviviality. The school is the foundation of any democracy. When it is taught to children in elementary elementary respect for every human being: the precept that might evaporate in a few school rite of Po. When it renews the tissues of historical memory and handed down stories, knowledge and values. It also comes out when the school itself, overflows in political-social conflict, invaded the square,
moved the chair on the sidewalk, their attitudes educational projects in the territories, it breaks the separation of its microcosms and invests with the questions of meaning ' society as a whole. Tell me what school you and tell you which company you are. Some people imagine, indeed some want of training equipment to prepare existential precariousness and productive schools and universities and thus are disqualified. The ruling classes (maybe it's more accurate to say "ruling classes") are reproduced by parthenogenesis rather well protected in the laboratories of social cloning are schools and private universities. Dear student, these things you've discovered the simplicity, did you explain to your family, you are told with composure in the assemblies, you claimed your central (the centrality of public education) against those who "seize the moment" hegemony Berlusconi wanted and wants to suddenly cancel a century battle of ideas, experience huge reorganization of social and educational: you understand that the Gelmini is not folklore, but is the most insidious of the offensive of the Right, is a sort of Don Lorenzo Milani reversed, it is condoning a "little old world" inhabited by votes for conduct and monochrome aprons behind the scene that moves the nineteenth century modern barbarians of the market that do not need of educated individuals, and free for owners of knowledge, but needs little freedom in the form of goods for individuals trained and morally harmful to competition to cooperation.
Dear student, the most important lesson I learned studying the events of the century in which they are born is that obedience is not an absolute virtue. If it is blind allegiance to a power, a code violent death of a paradigm, then you need to rebel, then you need to choose the virtues of civic disobedience. One can not obey the policy of cynicism and business class. On the contrary, we must seek the policy that helps us to be the force that gives birth to midwives in the future. I wanted to thank you because spiandoti and sniffing, I thought, this one is on my side. I thought my part (I was going to say my party) is the space filled by your gestures, your words, unheard by the strength of all your freedom.

Revenge



"Liberalism is also able to speculate about food '
Meeting with Carlo Petrini, president of Slow Food

by Francesco Paternò

the Manifesto has become a kind of Pope Carlo Petrini, said Carlin, president of Slow Food International, Founder and much more. Receives five-day politicians and farmers, chefs and journalists from around the world and all it has a verb, a story, an anecdote. Australian embassy to the Quirinal that slips into our room to say hello, Carlin tells quell'allevatore of cows in Adelaide invites him to visit his estate. And it does accommodate on a plane. The Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre his reign, suspended between heaven and earth to explain why agriculture and its products have become the center of production and culture.
We talk about the real economy, one that is leading Slow Food in Turin these days?
This is indeed the real economy of food, which in the last 50 years has lost value to the point that has become almost an appendage of fun and talk about food is likely to intrude in the collective divertissment an elitist. But the story reminds us that humanity has worked, suffered and waged wars in order to ensure nutrition and how much we are in this context. Reconciling food true with the importance of food, agriculture and traditional knowledge, we are doing this. Especially since today a multitude of people is particularly grave in a historical period, as determined by an upheaval in financial matters. Liberalism, after people speculated on housing, energy and oil, as a backlash before the bubble burst, is still able to speculate on the food. Leading to increases in basic food for millions of people. And hitting the malnourished population, almost one sixth of the living, risen to these speculations.
Now the bubble has burst and we live with a dual feeling. On the one hand with concern for a future of crises and difficulties especially for the less fortunate, but also the other with a sense of liberation. By the end of this logic, which has become almost a single thought, while the subsistence economy was considered marginal.
Mica want to say that it is the revenge of Mother Earth?
Mother Earth somehow enjoy this historic defeat of the market economy, but does so with indignation. Why a global political community that has not been able to raise $ 30 billion a year to reduce the number of malnourished in a fortnight has found 2 trillion to protect banks finance rogue accomplices.
The road is still long but there is no doubt that in this historic defeat we perceive the certainty and the need to be given more attention to agriculture, to knowledge updates, new sustainable technologies and the search for clean and renewable energy.
We returned at once to public aid. For banks and industry, agriculture, however, there is silence. In this area there have been public assistance benefits especially to those landlords and not to small, in the north of the world are used to pay the big productions to then dumped in Africa and poor countries. Now we need to point to the small-scale farming that protects the landscape and is ready to engage in new technologies, a topic unfortunately not yet in focus. I think that the peasants be a key player in the advancement of the third industrial revolution. The first was that of the steam engine, the second that of electricity, both supported by the fossil fuel. This will be the third one that will increase the production of renewable energy. Small businesses can create micro-enterprises to produce their own energy. That's why I'm against nuclear power but also against large concentrations of solar energy. Many small entities are the answer! The basis of sustainability, there is the refusal of waste, reuse and recycling, already in the practices of farmers. There is the possibility of virtuous alliance between the new energy manager see the business and agriculture. Go by the farmers, and listen to them.
Food and future are a cultural issue, then. But we are also in a country that is cutting funds for the knowledge, school, university, research, publishing. What to do? is a complicated time. Should be resolved ahead of the speech food as one of the true virtuosos of vital relationships. Food, agriculture, environment, sustainability, combating climate change, health, education, conviviality. If we laugh this value to food, the music changes. But from this point of view of cultural work is still immense, because equity is not the right nor the left. Yes, even our beloved left did not catch this change, this new policy. You are the poster of the exception that proves the rule. Have always been aware of these issues and for example your address book Earth Earth put on page 2 of the paper is a very strong sign.
you close? I see a resurgence in this country's vaunted pragmatism, government budgets factory Italy, as if we should bring into line all those little savings make it or not virtuous because they are too expensive, relegating culture and knowledge in a non-productive. It goes without saying that if I speak so I think everything is a waste. But it is not. From time immemorial, culture, free information and training of individuals are a precious good for the economy. If it passes this mechanism, it's like a snowball effect, where the owner of the steam decides what goes and what is wrong and cuts. Except maybe then ask everyone to go back to being consumers.

BAD IDEA OF MARKETING REFORM GELMINI



Mark Irons Megachip

If it had been in force Law 133, the one with which it cuts about 8 billion euro to the Italian school, pretending to reform it, what I have to tell would not have happened. Neither would be possible to tell if at the material had been made the unfortunate idea of \u200b\u200bseparating different classes in the children of migrant parents in Italy.


still have a copy of "Embers" by Sandor Marai, which bears an inscription which still causes me some excitement: "A big hello and thank you for letting us make a big leap in creativity. The children at the 5th A. Rome, 17 June 1999. "

The facts as they went. I suggested to the class teachers who attended my daughter Electra to involve students in "Communicating Rome", an award established by the industry to improve communication in favor of the capital.

The theme of this year was welcome, because he approached the Jubilee of 2000, the city was preparing for the event with great works of renovation and redevelopment.

The first meeting with the children and the teachers took an afternoon in their class on the second floor of the Elementary School Emanuele Gianturco. It was not the first time I was in school during school hours: the children were doing exercises for the creation of a hypertext on "The seagull and the cat" of Sepulveda, a book that I gave my daughter a day before the school and that the teachers adopted as a teaching aid. Another time I had read in class a few short tales of a Moroccan writer, stories about children in Marrakesh, which had been translated into Italian by fax from a friend, Wilma Labate who was thinking of making it a film.

told children what to do to participate in the competition "Communicating Rome" and above as necessary to do so. The restriction on the requirements of Italian citizenship and age was superseded by the decision in writing that we would work on behalf of the Italian master.

Then I gave him the "brief" as we call it advertising the story of the problem, identifying the object of the campaign and the media to use.

I asked the children in the 5 th A: "How many of you were born in this city?". They got little hands twenty-five. I asked again: "How many of you have fathers and mothers who were born in Rome?". This Once the hands were raised just under half of those present. Finally, I asked, "Who of you have grandparents who were born in Rome?" It rose more than two or three hands. Smiles, Italy while the teacher looked at me a little puzzled. So I tried to explain. And I told them that was evident in their experience, their grandparents before and some of their parents then came to settle in Rome, for many different reasons. But what seemed to be important in this city that they had stopped, they started a family, had given birth to children who are now living and attending schools in Rome. Ultimately, if the children of that class Rome was their hometown, for some of their relatives was Rome was adopted city.

"So, what do you think, if our children's slogan was, in fact, Rome adopted city?"

After some hesitation, twenty-five little heads did so, mind the teacher wrote "Rome adopted city" on the blackboard. The brief meeting was over, we would see after a few days to decide which ideas to implement.

I arrived with three films hired by proposing the use of a thirty-second excerpt, taken from "The March on Rome" by Dino Risi and Gasmann Tognazzi, as two fascists, trying to convince a military give them some of his rations. That does not even think about it. Then Gasmann, says, "'a militant, all semo de Rome." And Tognazzi, betraying its origins Po, went: "And yes, we are all Romans, shame on them mortecci."

It was decided to proceed with the processing of this piece, which was mounted in the tail end a cartel, depicting the wolf suckling the twins, the symbol of the capital, one of which was white, one black, bearing the inscription "Roma adopted city." Finally we decided that we could subscribe to the prize is the spot that the poster with the wolf and the twins, one white and one black.

In the following days, a child of the class recorded the final sentence in the Cat Sound Franco Agostini, who served for free to hack and make the materials needed for the assembly. Then, thanks to the knowledge of the mother of a child, accompanying a group of them in the Avid editor at a film studio in Rome. Finally, with the help of volunteer Andrea Bayer, art director, did the montage of the wolf with the twins of different colors and presented at the 5th to the layout of the poster.

take several weeks and one day the jury to "Communicating Rome" Italy has informed the teacher that the work had been selected and invited to attend the awards ceremony, which was held at the Teatro dell'Opera in Rome.

the evening of award the Teatro dell'Opera in Rome was full of audience and authority, while engineers Rai maneuvering the cameras for televising the event. In a row of red chairs at the bottom of the pit, twenty-five children in awe for the outcome of the award.

was proclaimed the second prize category of the spot and the teacher called on stage Italy. Who thanked him and said that the merit of the students was in his class, which invited him to go on stage. Twenty-five children in single file as mice, kick a thousand expressions of surprise on the stage. There was a little agitated, and then exploded a thunderous applause. The TV presenter approached the microphone to a girl class, he said, candidly: "I was born in Rome, my father and my mother is from Sri Lanka. This is the adopted home of my parents and I have been well received by my friends at school. "He came down the theater. At the end of the 5th Elementary School Emanuele Gianturco also the winner of second prize for best poster.

This story has an epilogue that's worth mentioning briefly. In addition to awards of merit, the two second prizes consisted of two trips in tribute to the Maldives, made available by one of the sponsors of the evening. The voucer were provided without charge by the teacher to two sets of parents who made a donation to the school, which was useful to integrate the contribution to the school's year-end trip in 5 °, which not everyone could participate because of the participation fee. Since this individual quotas were lowered significantly, all pupils of the 5th to go on a trip three days in a seaside resort on the coast of Lazio.

Today my daughter Electra has twenty years of his compagnetta school whose parents migrated from Sri Lanka do not know. Meeting but his dad, who works at a popular bar in Piazza del Pantheon, in Rome. Every time I happen to come in and have a coffee and the man returns my greeting with a slight smile, as a long and ancient understanding.

Recently, the Minister of Education said they did not understand the reason for protest in recent weeks that shook the world of public schools, from elementary to university against his reform bill. I'm not sure tell the truth. He knows that I tell you, dear lady minister: when a product does not work, there is marketing that takes.

Extreme Carving Snowboards

PIERO CALAMANDREI_A.D. 1950



Piero Calamandrei delivered the following speech on 11 February 1950 in Rome at the Third Congress of the Association in Defence of the National School.

"Let's say, so theoretically, there is a ruling party, a ruling party, which, however, formally wants to respect the constitution, not want to violate the substance. Does not want to march on Rome and transform the classroom into a space for presentation; but wants to establish, without opinion, a disguised dictatorship.

So, what to do to gain control of the schools and to turn state schools into Party schools? He realizes that the schools have been the defect of being impartial. There is some resistance, in those schools is always there, even under fascism has been there. Then, the dominant party follows another path (it's all a theoretical hypothesis, mind you). He begins to neglect the public schools, to discredit, to impoverish. Let it anemizzino and begins to favor private schools. Not all private schools. Schools of his party, that party. And then all these treatments are beginning to go to private schools. Cure of money and privileges. He even begins to advise the boys to go to these schools, because basically it says are better than those of the state. And perhaps we give prizes to those citizens who are willing to send their children to public schools instead cha to private schools. A "those" private schools. So the private school becomes a privileged school. The ruling party, unable to openly turn state schools into party schools, send the dogs to schools to give priority to the state's private schools. Warning, this is the recipe. We must keep an eye on the cooks of this low kitchen. The operation is done in three ways, as I have already said, ruining the schools of the state. Let go to hell. Depleting their budgets. Ignore their needs. Mitigate the supervision and control over private schools. Do not check its reliability. Let the teachers teach you that do not have the minimum qualifications to teach. Let the examinations are jokes. Giving public money to private schools.

This is the point. Giving public money to private schools. "

(Published in the journal Democratic School, March 20, 1950).

TEATRO ROSSINI: A bleak future



The City's center-right has put in These days the new organizational and programmatic plan for the 2008/09 season of the Teatro Comunale Rossini.

The Party of Communist Refoundation INTENDS TO REPORT BACK The cultural and working that will result Since the implementation of the new management

Specifically, it provided:

- A bill that gives ample room for television comedy derived will Teatro Rossini's an outpost of commercial television under the pretense of bringing young people in this way to the theater, through educational, cultural and moral entrusted to television (!!!)

- the same time, the total elimination of the morning shows for schools of all levels, an activity that has made in recent years the Rossini Theatre a cultural landmark for the whole Province

- The almost total reduction of funding for childcare May (cultural event of national resonance, loved by all of Gioia del Colle), which, in fact, will force the organizers to move the festival into one of the many municipalities of the province more than willing to not miss an event so important

- L 'elimination of production and laboratory that both have given to our city in terms of marketing, cultural growth of socializing (think the show Beauty and the beast that brought the brand of the Teatro Rossini in the world or to the beautiful experience of the encounter between theater and handicap)

- The removal from the program of Rossini Theatre of local associations who had managed over the past two years to earn merit with a leading role in the overall planning

- The cost reduction of 30% (but we will deal them a final!) against staff cuts and a substantial reduction of programming

- The cut of 3 full-time jobs paid in recent years from the Coop. Kismet to the extent provided by the National Contract Workers Performing Arts, which will be replaced with part-time four assumptions that do not guarantee job security, decent wages, social security charges and compliance expertise gained over the years

In addition operation demolition carried out by the directors of what has been done in the last decade, the Rossini . In resolution states that "names have been sporadic famous actors" save the Mayor, the Executive and the directors of the majority and "opposition" who voted in favor of the new course, a long list of names of actors, directors , companies and musicians that they certainly would not say nothing (after all how could it, given that in recent years have never passed the doors of the theater!), but remains in the memory and hearts of many and not Gioiesi, who lived the adventure of Rossini.

It is legitimate that a new administration decides to take different paths, as in our opinion and retrive harmful, but do not let that throw mud and try to destroy a cultural experience exciting, built with a lot of work and passion people (include one for all, the assessor Pino Dent), an experience that, in light of what is intended by the new administration, will certainly unsurpassed.

AND IF YOUR TOWN's development of an adjustable zero growth?



Alessandro Mortarino - from Megachip

There is a very interesting example in Italy on which would be helpful if every citizen sensitive to the future of their territory and put an entire planet's attention. The protagonist is a small town of Milan hinterland (just under 1,700 residents): Cassinetta Lugagnano. In recent years has chosen to save their land by new waves and cemented the path of "zero growth", ie of full sustainability.


And given that in recent weeks a group of "brave" citizens (resident in that sort of "macro" which is the area-Langhe-Roero Monferrato, the territory which was recently nominated for recognition as a Unesco "World Heritage") started to develop a project inspired by his "zero growth", we like to tell our readers the experience Cassinetta Lugagnano, through the words of its mayor, Domenico Finiguerra. While waiting for the live cultures that will be released by the group of "courageous" of our hills, do not materialize in a program ispiratorio for public administrators, civil society whole, builders of a new model of community happy ...

The group of "pioneer" is drafting the manifesto of a committee which will be titled "Stop the use of the land - the Movement for the Defence of the right to territory is not cemented." The pillars which will be the realization of the conclusion of a historical period that he placed a large part of the development of the entire area in the consumption of new greenfield and agricultural and the overcoming of the equation "more land consumption = more development," said The alternative, namely that: the current existing buildings (if properly managed ...) can largely meet the housing needs of the entire area and production and thus contribute to the maturation of a consciousness of the physical limits of the territory ...

To provide a simple matter to which to reflect, remember - purely by way of example - which, according to data of the Regional Sergio Conti, the sole province of Cuneo about 40% of the warehouses are empty or only partly built: they were, that is, but apparently built not to be used ... Yes, we're just talking about those sad, huge industrial warehouses that dot-craft our plains (but, unfortunately, often the tops of the hills rich) as a perpetual memory of the apparent renunciation of human nature and a sense of beauty. One thing outrageous, considering that cover the fertile grounds of inert materials helps to warm the planet and that their land free from cement factories will be the real of the future ...

Fleshlight Ice Stealth





Piero Sansonetti - Liberation from

A great sigh of relief. It 'was a great event. Much bigger than we expected. Let's say three hundred thousand people, at least two hours of the parade. After Friday, with as many students to the streets in dozens of Italian cities, we now have the certainty that the opposition is not dead, the protest is not dead, the left still exists. Paolo Ferrero in recent days has used this expression: "It 's over the retreat." It means that we start again, you return to the attack, you return to politics.
What is the urgency, what is the purpose? To start to play a role in processing, to prevent the spread of Berlusconi will lead to the end of political thought at the end of pluralism, the uncontested domain of a ruling class that the right has managed to restructure and regroup. It 's a tough battle, complicated. This is to answer many questions. Some of them were asked yesterday by Rossana de Rossanda editorial the Manifesto, and basically be reduced to one: Will the Left not to remain silent - or at least smiling, but no action - in the face most formidable political and economic crisis system and that capitalism has never met since 1929 to today?
You can of course ask a procession or a demonstration, to draft a new policy. But no policy is possible if you do not keep up the legs "of the people," pushing on a mass. This drive was yesterday. There was a procession in which some steps even seemed a bit 'embarrassed, a bit' unsure of himself. Surprised to be so great after months of horrific losses, since the landslide election, and surprised even to be united, compact, after a long period of infighting and splits.
But the parade was really united? Of course he had many souls inside. The strongest, the most visible, was the soul that calls for a secure identity to the left, the very soul "communist". But there were others, many others who believe that we must not from her own identity, their past, but from an idea of \u200b\u200bthe future to put together and put to use. The feeling yesterday was that these two souls still peer at suspiciously, but begin to think that we can work together.

WE ARE HERE WITHOUT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL I'D BE A WRITER NOT A SCHOOL WITH THE ENEMY



Valeria Parrella - Liberation from

I did a public school and I am grateful. I had decent teachers and teachers indecent, then I had extraordinary teachers. Those were the point of reference from which the analysis of the world game, which started it all. In college guide books, bibliographies are the path along which to flow. In elementary school, in junior high, high school books do not say nothing by themselves: they need the singer, exegete, what encourages you to open them. This is the teachers.
I am not a teacher. I have a degree in classical literature but it took me so long to graduate that I missed the last contest. Most of my friends did that contest, somebody added the infamous Sis, many have emigrated. Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, where the rankings could accommodate them. Vicariate I missed this commitment of my life with stories, then with the novel, I imagined a teacher anywhere, everywhere I have drawn from the stories that I cherish most of all: those who come from the classrooms, those who foretell the destiny, the lives of new citizens. My father is a teacher and can not retire. He studies every day, his work never ends: it is his existence, the subjective engagement of the morning, the finding of the boys throughout his life. Some things are inherited. The joy, the passion of the public school, free, secular - secular and in the best cases - the "level" of Toto, towns where you find yourself having to deal with all types of companies, not allowed to take refuge in your , and then being able to learn from each, dovendoti compare with everyone.
I owe it all to the study: without what I learned I am nothing. The contact with peers has always moved me, has disrupted the closed world in which saddens me already as a child. My current friends - I am thirty years - the ones that I trust and on whose behalf and for which I tremble like myself, are my high school friends. My first challenge was against the teachers who are deemed unworthy, my first applause was looking for them in those that they estimated. In middle school I had a teacher of Italian illuminated, and a retro history and geography: the first held the apron under the counter and the second one wore: my first power management I learned that. For years me the school was "The State", membership, duty, because just as happy. Without the Italian school I am nothing, I would not be a writer, would not be writing now on behalf of Thomas, professor of history and philosophy these days running from one institution to another to "fill" the hours. In the name of Paola professor of letters who wakes up at six-part with the child of one year from the outskirts of Naples, to the center, then leaves the child to the mother, then runs into the classroom to work on support.
Without the school that I did, I did, I could now say in a sincere and profound, as I feel it, I despise and deplore the conduct of the Minister of Education, which indicates in the decay of public schools in low light that you have teachers, the death of our society. Any minister erga above the Italian School does a crime against the state, against myself, against my son and immediately dismiss any reason for being.

Alba Sasso - from the Manifesto

An act of political expediency with the confidence to ask the Gelmini decree on the school. Where the urgency claimed by the minister, yet in all the papers yesterday, as the decree expires Oct. 31 and that there would be plenty of time to a discussion of the rooms? First, the government is afraid of his own majority. Beginning with a stomach ache on both the master of the League is only on the closure of small schools. Second is exercised, despite the resistance of Fini, in muscle testing. Gestures of defiance to parliamentary democracy. But there's more. From where, in recent months, the strongest voices of dissent, dispute, it will more and more clear to break the tide of restoration that now engulfs the country? Perhaps the school. That's where a movement is always more decisive, strong and aware. Cut out the massacre, a short-sighted policy and backward, a return to a small school worthy of a country where even kings and priests were the masters. The school is well gelminiana of more and much worse, than that of the saint portrayed in the parades, or anti south of the lawyer, who is in the south to take the qualification. The urgent need for cash to build a philosophy and pedagogy. The anger of many parents and teachers on Monday to protest outside Deputies proclamation of the vote of confidence, is to destroy those who see a model school built in time, in a mutual exchange of knowledge, relationships, a common growth. In a school that increasingly has to deal with the plurality of histories and cultures, with diversity, with discomfort and with excellence. And therefore must find ways to improve, to move forward. But to return to the past by decree. Without listening and without involvement of stakeholders. Drawing the profile of a single school of thought. Authoritarianism on the one hand, unprecedented cultural attack on the other. A government which includes overhead and dramatically reduces the number of teachers, school hours. It is a school's profile of customers and consumers: the shadow of homo Berlusconi, in turn, created by programmers of television schedules. What we have underestimated the devastating power of this tool, and how little we have done to equip ourselves with a challenge that could not, should not have been avoided. Plan, have been defining the boundaries of good Italian, which reductively define the archetypes of the player and vellum. These models outstanding cultural taken because of strong attraction. But someone must have realized that it is in schools, that the enemy lurks. How do communities of Fahrenheit 451, which guarded the memory of the books, sent them by heart, impart knowledge and criticism, analysis, and the dream, knowing how to doubt and curiosity. This is the school that has continued to churn out over decades, citizens, not subjects.

GIULIANO BRUNO: THE SECESSION from one era VILE



of Alberto Prunetti - from www.carmillaonline.com

Italy, northeast, in February 2007. Giuliano Bruno is a high school student anti-fascist. After returning from a rally in Treviso is attacked and beaten by a group of neo-fascist skinheads.
Giuliano does not go out of the house, afraid. Since that incident
spend a few days, friends invited him to come out. They leave in the car, go to the center of Treviso, one of them goes down, goes in search of another partner. Then comes back and tells Julie, "Do not quit! Skinheads are coming!" Arrive. They open the car door. Julian has been in conjunction with another boy. They ask: "Are you Bruno Julie?". "Yes, I am."
hit him with violence in mind. The friend tries to defend him. The broken nose. After the second assault

Julian left school, no longer wants to stay in Treviso. He begins to wander through Europe. Join the demonstration against the G8 Haligendamm, Germany. Back in Italy, found some odd jobs. Then he starts to study, this time in Trieste.

the morning of May 5, 2008 are in the earth under his house. Suicide.

From Buenos Aires to Treviso

Giuliano Bruno's family was sheltered in Europe in the Seventies to escape the pseudo-fascist dictatorship in Argentina. The story of Julian is linked to that of his grandfather, Osvaldo Bayer, one of the best known Argentine writers.

"They gave me 24 hours of time to leave the country otherwise I was a dead man ...." So Osvaldo Bayer, born in Santa Fe, Argentina, in 1927, told me the story of his death sentence, which was published in a newspaper of Buenos Aires and sentenced by a clandestine group of extreme right in 1974. At the time of the interview, later published in Il Manifesto, I visited him at his home in the Belgrano neighborhood, in that corner house in the city Rio de la Plata that his friend Osvaldo Soriano, eternal provocateur, called a hovel. It was the fall of 2005 and Buenos Aires was coming towards me with the words of this old man with a long white beard, author of the novel "Severino Di Giovanni" (1970), the "Patagonia Rebelde" (1972, forthcoming in Italian for publishing Eleuthera) and, more recently, of "Rayner y Minou" (2001).

The idea was to tell me by Osvaldo his life and the historical research dedicated to emigration of Italian politics, which led him to write wonderful books, works so radical that the military - seized power in Buenos Aires with a coup in the seventies - not content to force the author into exile, but came in to burn every copy they could rake. Finally, because the measure was filled, banned the film based on the novel by Oswald and that he himself wrote, the "Patagonia rebelde, Héctor Olivera, Silver Bear in Berlin, but banned at home with a lot of persecution directed against the entire staff, including the extras. Argentine excesses seemed in those days, and when I talked to Osvaldo and distant past persecution.

I remember when I was indiscreet, speaking of the writer Rodolfo Walsh disappeared, I came to ask for too much detail about his death. The tears that bathe the eyes for a moment of lucidity Osvaldo not disturb her, because he, like Walsh, is in charge of writing in difficult times.

Yet Oswald, forced to flee, forced to hide in the house of anarchists, always ready to organize projects conspiracies against dictatorships - like the time he organized together with Soriano and García Márquez the project, then remained on paper, of a mass return of exiled Latin American intellectuals - would not have thought, in that quiet morning porteno, having to once again write words to love so much. Still writing about persecuted, killed by, friends forced to commit suicide to escape torture, drink from the bitter cup of a time just a coward. It is a violent "Oficio de Escribano, amigo," recalled Walsh would. The testimony of writing, to be violent to write, to write about violent acts. An era that seemed closed and instead forces Oswald, in which the Madres de Plaza de Mayo have dedicated their literary cafe, writing again, to fill the ink those blank pages every morning at six o'clock, they begin to appear on his desk.

But this time the task is more bitter. Because the young rebelde, a figure that reappears in many pages of the work of Oswald, an anarchist is not born a century ago, nor a martyr to an idea that comes to Baires by ocean barges. This time, Oswald wrote to his niece, Julie Bruno, the son of his daughter Ana, who still had his little fit in a hurry on a plane to Europe because he did not know the horrors and violence orchestrated by a group of fascist the reins of the state. Tragic paradox and eerie twist of fate, one that led the young rebelde in Italy this from the ground to accommodate the political exiles and refugees is the space of persecution. Why

Giuliano Bruno was not killed as Carlo Giuliani, either as Nicola Tommasoli. He is not dead even as that of Romanian which no longer remember the name - perhaps because the foreigners in this country are also deprived of their name - and that has fallen out the window of a police station, or maybe it was the stairwell, and even those who cares, the newspapers will say that this news did not even spend nearly a paragraph. Bruno Giuliano died breathing this atmosphere that we live every day in Italy, this mixture of fog in Weimar, fear and grotesque Argentina Italiot farce. Dressed by the pogrom and regurgitation neorazzisti, from the attacks of skinheads, intolerance towards anything that is not the desire to cheat the next to buy the SUV. Bitter and sad era, a "bad night" on which Julian has responded with the last of the rebel movement, which claims that its right to secede from a world so vile and deadly. Reported by

DATT ETHICS!



Alessandro Robecchi from the Manifesto

I'm really sorry to have missed the conference on the ethics of the company organized by Barbara Berlusconi, Veronica Berlusconi this: at that time I was guilty of going to work. I read the chronicles and reports with apprehension, because I feared that newspapers like the combination of two words 'ethics' and 'Berlusconi' cause combustion of the pages and perhaps, tomorrow, the end of the world. I did force: the lions that hold a seminar on the gazelles Good nutrition is always an interesting spectacle. Organiser: Barbara Berlusconi, so young and lacking in resources that must have been for her a true heroism organize a conference. Speakers: Professor University San Raffaele, an employee of the family group (vice-chairman of the Mondadori, the president's sister, Barbara) and holds the chair Lehman Brothers corporate finance at Bocconi. Sitting at the table of the chair, the young La Russa, the son of defense minister in the audience a Ligresti Junior. At center stage, Barbara Berlusconi and Veronica, kidnapped and enraptured by the wind that blows from the philosophical stage. Two elegant ladies sitting on a mountain of facts billion with an ethic that the courts can not discuss due to the immunity law, or even barred. A power gained with the journalistic ethics of some headlines from the newspaper or the news of the family. Hosts the prestigious Bocconi University and blesses. Il Corriere della Sera ago by newsreel style thirties. And ethics? Ah, yes: Barbara Berlusconi has said that it was against the false in the budget. Wow! I do not know if I will survive so ethical!

Davide Rossi, Secretary SISA - Independent Trade Union School Environment - www. sisascuola.it

An Italian citizen, not only an employee of the school, a student or parent, has easy to understand that it is difficult to speak for the school news and changes, even before the reform, if the news coincided with a cut of 8 billion (not million!) of € the education budget and a scissor kick at least 140 thousand jobs among teachers and administrative staff, technical and auxiliary staff, with immediate effect to have classes over 30 students and schools by providing for the death of small towns.


Moreover the government itself has a dual admission alone discredits him, the first is the admission of the wretched level of salaries of workers in the sector, the latter admits that 97% of education budget is for salaries. The logical consequence, even the most naive among administrators, would be to increase the school budget, defining the pay and then after that, start a project to reorganize the system, otherwise, it is clear, it would be a straightforward operation cash.

However, the situation is perhaps more serious, because the logic behind "saved" move against the school, for example, while in the military, the Berlusconi government spends and buys new technology of war at higher prices to promised cuts dall'avvocatessa Gelmini, is serious concerns regarding a total attack, I would say the system, the public school sanctioned by the Italian Constitution.

is clear that the logic of the Minister of Education is to disqualify, but step by step with scientific thoroughness, public education, encouraging private schools in fact. The full-time in elementary school so will be guaranteed only by the teacher, but joined by young volunteers of all inexperienced and underpaid for the 16 hours left to "fill in" the least worst. For others, the reinvention of the "teacher mom" is in total contrast to the professional growth of elementary teachers engaged for years in specific subject areas, a path followed by twenty years against the logic of the teacher "spin doctors" outdated. Easy

then provide the big cities who can afford it will try to send their children to schools, private course, in which the full-time is guaranteed by the volunteers, but by two teachers as still happens by the time all over the country, others steer their children in school average or higher, again privately, in which classes are not composed of thirty boys crowded, but where a dozen boys may have better way of being followed, perhaps finding the space and time for the educational relationship.

In short, the government wants to equate the public schools and private ones, by lowering and raising funds for the first, against the Constitution, the funds for the second but allowed the the second was not penalize victims of the new organizational models. Don Milani would say that is not even so subtle a way of "doing equally between unequal, increasing inequality and inventing office schools of Series A and Series B.

Equally small municipalities, most of the eight thousand of the Italian Republic, could see schools closed and the opening up of schools - in the same office buildings closed by the minister Gelmini - of sectarian or confederation. For small municipalities, often with five classes for 50 students in elementary school and three classes for 30 students in junior high, for years my proposal of the French model. These schools, which are essential for tissue Social small towns, to be kept open with a contribution of 50% of total expenditure, including salaries, from the regions and local administrations. The regions, which have serious and great responsibilities, they would play around with the programs in the north such as "padanizzarli" or vocational education, with the intention to get in cahoots with the most varied and more or less serious entrepreneurs to "gain ". This style is often very little pirate regions of Europe and has no involvement with a serious, such as would be the guarantee of financial support to elementary and middle schools of small towns.

The government projects, of which the minister Gelmini is a simple operating terminal are therefore devastating, with the clear objective of not respecting the indications coming from all international organizations responsible for promoting education and knowledge.

Nationals all then the problem arises of how to respond, how to defend themselves, be as proactive, even as more and rightly calls for alternative concepts for the Italian company, not just no.

In this sense the movements of fighting, occupations, strikes, demonstrations, now almost daily, have a value not only contested, but also highly proactive, because we are gathered together, talking and discussing, it revives the wire lost for too long of a commitment to the school of all.

Every day becomes more clear the need for a school where knowledge is the result of a search and a construction in which students are active participants and protagonists rather than passive receptors, there is a growing conviction that only Freedom of teaching and teachers' freedom of student learning may be the regulatory tools of instruction.

Certainly we need investment, trust, new awareness of the role and necessity of knowledge for the future. It is a long and articulated, not immediate, Gelmini and company were deliberately started a process of divestment of public school that has only two possible outcomes, his victory and the civil and social decline of the country, or its defeat and the opening of new scenarios difficult to imagine today, but reasonably aimed at an Italian school that goes back to being capable of a future.

Can You Go Tanning Before You Wax?

ITALY powerful AMA RACISM



Piero Sansonetti - Liberation from

We no longer know how to treat them, the news. Every day, every day: an African boy beaten, a Chinese, an Arab, possibly reduced in dying, maybe killed. Until the episode ends, like that of Castel Volturno, where six blacks were killed in gunfire, and the next day the newspapers instead of speaking of murder, racist nazi-Camorra, and instead of telling the lives, stories, families, hopes and sorrows of the six victims (as they would in any case if the boys killed were white) went to dig in their past, to try to show that they too were criminals, they talked about settling scores, have defamed the dead: that crap!
News yesterday, if we do not escape someone else, are two. The first is an aggression against Senegal in Milan, by two Italians with baseball bats, the second is the beating of a Chinese boy from a gang of five or six racists in Rome suburb of Tor Bella Monaca. We are getting used to these episodes, which only a few years ago were isolatissimi, condemned by all, aroused indignation. Racism in mass arises precisely this: the habit, common sense to consider ending the routine beatings of foreigners, discrimination, even the killing.
's think a moment about the latest episodes. The execution of Abba, Milan, and the massacre of Castelvolturno. How did you react to the "summit" of Italian society? In the first case scrambling to swear that he was not a racist murder. They did the judges, they did the newspapers, they have done dozens of political leaders. In the latter case by reducing the incident to the minimum, placing him in a debate where he was impeached as the excess of illegal immigration than the brutality of the crime. It would be like after September 11 someone had said, you certainly have hurt the terrorists, but also those skyscrapers are so high just annoying ... In this way the
press and most of the political world are taking responsibility for the growth of racism. That we must react. Let's start from tomorrow, going to many events in Rome, Parma and Caserta.

Pain From Pinky To Arm

THE TWENTY YEARS OF BERLUSCONI



Alberto Asor - from the Manifesto

Over the summer, thereby underestimating the risk that the hot sun had infrollito further the already small insight of the Italian political commentators and newspaper, I posted on this newspaper (August 6) an article ("More of fascism '), in which I tried to put Berlusconi and Berlusconi in the wake of contemporary Italian history. All hell broke loose: what there may be similarities between Berlusconi and Mussolini ever, between Berlusconi and fascism? Of course not: I'm not stupid. I have not heard - and I have not written - Berlusconi is like Mussolini or that Berlusconi is like fascism: I have heard and written - in the specificity and distinctiveness of their identity - are worse. Of this invitation to discuss, not the fictitious (and sometimes tendentious readings) of the text that have been given. To facilitate this (albeit unlikely) goal to add some argument already mentioned. Calling attention to (if there are still people willing to lend) on the 'incipit' of that article: "The Berlusconi government is the third lowest point in the history of the Unit in Italy then. " Subject of this sentence is implicit Italy: Yes, subject in itself abstract, difficult to define, as everyone knows if they are employed, however characterized, in spite of everything, from a story and some common long-term identity data; more abstract, perhaps, but more rooted in history and a common identity to some data, especially when you consider Italy as a nation ('the Unit on ...», fact), that is, that conglomeration of factors political-institutional-ideal, of which we are preparing to celebrate (2011) the 150 ˚ anniversary, just when - this is what I support - that conglomerate appears during dissolution. Well, to assess to what extent this process has come, and also to make some comparisons on a historical (old, I repeat, ethical and political), we must identify some indicators that make us understand better what we're talking about. We talk once in a while, if we agree on this starting point, Italy, more exactly of Italy as a nation (of course other points of view are legitimate and possible, to "class" of course is not a stranger, but us this time, for the exceptional situation in which we find ourselves, we prefer this). As we speak of Italy, and Italy as a nation, it seems to me that the key indicators that can not be these three: the 'unit (and the sense of unity), the ratio of citizens with the institutions (that is, too, the sense of the distinction between public and private) and the relationship of this with the Italian tradition (ie the sense of belonging and national identity). From all three of these points of view, the Berlusconi is worse than fascism, or at least tries to be so tenaciously. From the viewpoint of 'unity the validity of this statement is obvious. Sits as a minister in the Berlusconi government reforms (!) A man who fought fiercely (and explicitly) for the disruption and fragmentation unit politico-institutional and identity of the country. This is a process, obviously, but that creates a political culture and a common sense adverse to any topical definition of being "Italian." The Berlusconi incorporates this phenomenon and makes it his own, if only because the chairman of the board unit or national units are indifferent, as long as the machine of power rests entirely in any case in his hands. Second indicator: the ratio of citizens and institutions has never - repeat, never - been so mortified in terms of the prevalence of private interests over public ones. Of course, a dictatorship, however, protect its members from any public context. But no European dictatorship of the twentieth century (and thus even fascism) has made the private interest of the leader (and his acolytes), the fulcrum around which to rotate the development and promulgation of laws and even the pursuit of justice. The 'ethical state' is undoubtedly a twist intolerable in the long and troubled history of the "rule of law 'modern. But the level of corruption (this time understood the term in a purely fatturale: how to look, shape, mode of the machine of power) achieved by Berlusconi has no equal in the exercise of fascist institutions and power, at least formally remained compliance or even the exaltation of the law, as despotic (Of course it would be too ungenerous to get to opposing Alfano and Ghedini figures and Rocco Gentile ...). The third indicator precipitate and multiply all the disastrous consequences of the other two. Fascism had a relationship with the Italian tradition distorted but flashy: he wanted to restore his own way (a way execrable, there would be no need to say on my part) the continuation of the Risorgimento, the frustrated and stopped in his slow, disconnected and powerless liberal experience. The Berlusconi has no relationship whatsoever, neither good nor bad, with the Italian tradition: his eponymous hero is a homo novus, which pushes the extreme limits his total lack of roots, in essence nothing more than a clever businessman, using the public to increase and protect his own private and private to the public without restriction. Anything that has to do with ethics and politics of the modern rule of law is alien. He drew his strength from impotence and irreversible decline crisis of this liberal-democratic regime: that is born and lives a corruption, not a reaction, as is assumed to fascism (understood in this case, both the terms in political-institutional, non-ethical-political). Now, in the history of Italian post-unification, which they said, it is undeniable that the founding core of the nation's most enduring have been the first Risorgimento and the Resistance then: to consider the latter - As it was by many protagonists of different political parties and ideals considered - a more advanced implementation of the first but consequential. But if nothing matters to the Knight of the values \u200b\u200bof democracy and respect for the rules (the Constitution, separation of powers, relationship-voters institutions, etc..), What should I care not tell the Resistance, but of the Risorgimento, which has for better or worse Italian national identity and unity founded and started the process of building a company (albeit limited) in compliance with democratic rules? The "historical break" to which he effortlessly and without thinking is subtracted, is not that of 1945 is that of 1861-1870: Cavour further away from him Palrmiro Togliatti. Respond Now, to go towards the end, the last, more insidious and perhaps more legitimate objection to our reasoning above: you can compare a democracy (whatever) to a dictatorship, came to the conclusion that democracy is worse than dictatorship? Well, I do not know. But I do not see what is wrong with us groped a comparison, if only to better understand what is happening to us today (not that that form the parameters of historical judgments?). Fascism was "pure evil"? Let's think about what to be and to produce the "evil relative" in which we currently live, "its bad", but endemic deep penetrated in all fibers. What I think I see from my point of view is the growth of a sort of dictatorship (De Mauro, "authoritarian government in which power is concentrated in the hands of one man"), but new kind of populist Democrats, founded not on violence and coercion, but the explicit consent (as he did in his own way, even fascism ...) and operated with a cunning, very unusual in Europe mix of media influences, distortions and institutional brokerage business. The "model" - which, like all models strong, it is political and even cultural anthropology - is penetrating deeply and are doing out on the historical continuity which so far have been based identity and values \u200b\u200b'Italian' in front of the world. At the end of the process there will be a nation (albeit within limits well known that this process has evolved in the hundred and fifty years that lie behind them) but only a mere aggregate of vassal-states (of various kinds: economic, corporate, regional, etc.). They will find their unity only in referring only to the Cape. For this - for reasons more technical and limited, as someone succumbs to the temptation of arguing, feeling the dream of "shared reforms" - should be kept out of the joints far more autonomous and independent state, first and foremost, the judiciary and the school: they, in fact, in this moment, simply because they retain their independence, constitute a major obstacle to the complete realization of that design (of course, I realize that if things are as I say, the most interesting part of the discourse would be to ask why this destructive pattern proceed by consensus, but what has become the Italian people over the past twenty years, what it aspires to, what they believe, deserves a separate discussion, which takes even more head-on policy, and that maybe one day we will ). The conclusion reached by that in my previous article, it is now confirmed: as there is no political force in Italy, politician, currently capable of understanding and practice. To fight a it would take a similar scourge party, a movement, an option at the same time political and cultural, are able to join the defense of the homeland-nation with the multiple layers of new, more responsive and more at risk of contemporary Italian society (most at risk : s'accompagnerà to national disaster, there is no shadow of doubt, the economic and social catastrophe). But where? And since there is not, how long will it be born, or reborn? PS The best way to show solidarity to a newspaper is to write to them. I will add that the risks currently running a newspaper as the original poster is a manifestation of what is happening in Italy and I have tried to describe in the previous rows. The player throws the money and know what to do.
