infamous' THE BOAT IS ...

Dear archistars Italian and foreign architects and even that will create wonders for Salerno, after the great architect Zaha Hadid, Santiago Calatrava and Nicola Pagliara, please do not given to us more building projects inspired by ships, boats and the like or risk being rhetorical and repetitive. Okay we are fishing theme for this but if the repertoire is very wide. Then take example by Dominique Perrault and Ricardo Bofill that refer to the "purpo" and (middle) ring.
Good bathroom at all.

A Paragraph About Alzheimer



CITY 'TOURIST

After having successfully passed an exam that I had taken quite a commitment I decided to take a tempting prize. What was my disappointment to find the gate of the famous ice cream shop down town where I intended to restore me can well imagine my four readers. A sign posted on the locked door reads "Closed for internal work". In fact the usual well-informed have told me that the ice cream shop was closed due to serious shortcomings in sanitation.

Walking around the city, even in broad daylight in a sunny 30 degrees, I've a few of times to see wandering the streets in the center (the last sighting being Avallone), live rodents. Of those dead squashed on the asphalt as shoe soles and tanned by the wheels of the car and the sun has lost count.
The mice are also at home on the waterfront where we were seen perched on trees and a few even fall victim sitting on the bench. They are not urban legends as I thought at first, I saw them myself. Moreover, the strong stench of sewage that is felt on the most beautiful promenade of Salerno leaves no doubt that we are in the ideal habitat for the proliferation of murine this species.

If it happens instead of walking in the center of the evening as tourists and proceed again enchanted by the beauty of Salerno old one is unpleasantly shocked at the sight of piles of bags resting on the thresholds of doors and gates waiting for the harvest. This scenario of differentiated Salerno reminiscent of the period of the waste in Naples, has not only offered to visitors in the area marked by tourist guides, but throughout the city as a democratic principle that for once breaks down the differences and the common center and the periphery.
Nothing strange or against the rules, directives require municipal waste to expose the evening, so the next morning, the gathering of people in charge.

newspaper stand out on posters Titles for days worrying about sewage pollute our waters. Who went to the beach last weekend found a thin layer of feces and other garbage floating in the water, many swimmers have left the shores. It almost seems that a King Midas evil instead of turning into gold everything he touches turn it into me ... in the mud.

on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfaWhjZnO9c ) you can still see an old episode of Porta a Porta where the mayor of Salerno chill to say that our city is the South cleaner, repeating like a mantra the obsessive leitmotif that has made the fortune of his campaign: cleaner for ... more looking for ... .. bigger, and so on.

Our city is rather dirty, filthy and prides itself on being a city of tourism. The City of Salerno, not only intended as a City Hall but as an urban whole, would have to close for major shortcomings sanitation and citizens in mass go elsewhere.
The last one comes out put up the sign.

the circus

E 'within a week after the publication of the Unit Blog of ten questions on the Crescent to the mayor of Salerno Vincenzo De Luca, response: None. If applications were addressed with the tacit consent of the formula would get better results.
Months have passed instead of opening a debate that saw the birth of a committee, the involvement of ordinary people from the worlds of culture, art and architects, published in local and national media on the media. Among the interventions of prominent personalities stands out harsh criticism of the heavy Gillo Dorfless who wrote " with Bofill (l 'English architect who signed the draft of the Crescent in Salerno ed) it often falls into a type of architecture that we can not call kitsch. Many of its buildings are aesthetically objectionable and not done with irony, but pursuing eye-catching architecture, decorative false, antifunzionale that impresses the audience . Interested directly to the project while the shape of a crescent of Salerno critic Vittorio Sgarbi spoke of "frightening Soviet ministry" and " company intended to satisfy, first, building luxury residential . Mayor's response: insults.
Yes, it seems incredible, but insults were addressed to both the influential critic in the past now as ordinary citizens who dare to dissent from his views and we have been publicly lynched on local stations and mocked with colorful epithets (chiwawa, penguins , lovers cabin, etc..) without the possibility of direct replication. Even the councilors who voted for the resolution, or superintendent who expressed a favorable opinion on the draft S. Teresa felt the need to respond to questions and allay the concerns of Salerno on the casting of concrete that will fall on the waterfront. Yet should feel proud to be recognized as preferential partners of the dialogue between authorities and citizens. On the other hand
surprise some spontaneous statements about the affair, expressed as a kind of justification, and suggest that failures much more serious than those which overshadowed the scandal of Crescent enough to recall the mechanism involuntary brought to light serious omissions in the field of Cultural Heritage by a series of erotic private wiretapping of our premier.
The first statement is to displace the Town Planning Councillor who declares that the use of variants it was necessary to streamline the plan Bohigas otherwise unmanageable.
The second revelation is the same as De Luca says that the Crescent and the attached Liberty Square has been designed as a more dignified alternative to the original design by Bohigas to be made in the area of \u200b\u200bS. Teresa residences of economic people. I seem to infer from these statements two serious shortcomings of the municipal administration, opposing and complementary. Hypothesis 1: Bohigas devised a plan unworkable (but Barcelona have failed to implement the urban plan of the same Catalan architect), monstrously complex in its overall implementation and inadequate guidelines in particular, in which case it is legitimate to ask why Administration has approved of Salerno with enormous waste of public money and time.
Hypothesis No. 2: proceed with variations for the complete inability of the management plan and / or because it is more convenient to work on ad hoc, not to say a personal basis, as acutely observed F. Martin in a speech.
There is a phrase of Mayor De Luca on the outcry over the affair of Crescentt and delivered in an 'interview with a local radio station that strikes deeply concerned about his strength and self-denigrating "the caravan passes, the dogs are barking! "
that dogs continue to bark until you also get real answers and civilians, will exist as long as freedom of opinion and ideas, as long as there will be no denial or confirmation that this administration is a bandwagon as she holds of herself and he says.

SERVO praise and COWARDS OUTRAGE
Who would have thought that would be risen from the rank of mayor, sheriff art critic Mayor? Mmmmm ... So let's recap, after Salerno quenched by prostitutes and unauthorized parking lot (there is always the famous "lady" that calls for the two euro to leave the car right under the policy) after rap unruly motorists (even double parking in the city palace) and the peasants chased dall'Ippocratica civitas, he himself, the arbiter elegantiae, after having built the foundations of judicial Citadel (stop at the rustic to business failure) and the maritime station (Taking literally the message of Christ "who is without sin cast the first stone", since that was laid only); rebuilt after the copy of the Berlin Wall in the form of city subway system that will ensure racing frequency eurostar (one train every hour) and while the writers, armed with spray can thank, and yet, after replacing the balls socialist northern waterfront with romantic lanterns (with squirrels "Mediterranean" in the subject); repaved with prodigality over the city twice in Less than four decades, finally made the city of Salerno and fragrant sea with clear water and miles of beaches, but sin that are closed to erosion; revive economy town authorized the opening of civil Baroque architecture kebab most valuable of Salerno (Genovese allude to the Palace of Campo Largo, owned by the city, whose old-growth windows are wide open on desolate rooms gutted by a partial restructuring, which could be called the restoration !) said after all this and more that my memory is the most assists and the risk of losing their train of thought, after all that here he takes a keynote of decoration Vittorio Sgarbi, art critic is sudden and replies in turn on the edge of an elegant irony, on the leaf of marijuana smoke that inevitably Sgarbi should not be so polished as to be understood to be functioning well. Then This history of the marijuana leaf is ridiculous because I personally also recalls a peacock's tail in the body can not be other than that of the first sitting cives alive (not dead, as he would like) in the center of the largest square Europe to take the wheel of his vanity.
And still our fellow citizens from the screen ensures that the Crescent will be all beautiful sand-colored (but that our local dark?) Hoping perhaps that blends in with the beach of S. Teresa, only with the white columns to copy those "made in beam" of the city palace. But forget that architecture is not a fable that is told in words but which is expressed by itself through the project but it is armored, top secret.
renderings dell'archistar Catalan now he could only admire Dorfles, alas, even the supervision that they had been required to issue a shred of opinion, in a recent meeting at Paestum, near the temples so as to get better in archaeological mood of the colonnade. At that time, never tired but still brisk, chill the Primus is to explain to the centenary Dorfles, which has already seen the sorts of things, the virtues of his Castellone sand, ripping half consent, but said so right to education . Then Dorfles had already expressed its opinion on the work as kitsch Bofill branding and away from the language and if it is true that contemporary repetita iuvant perhaps this is more relevant to the saying to wash the head ass ... etc.. Maybe, but during the conversation with the distinguished critic same De Luca, perhaps out of pure spirit of contradiction, to crush the twin project of Crescent already rejected in Paris raising a terrible doubt: he will be God who lands Manzoni and raises that breathless and comforting. Be careful, however, that the consensus underlying the megalomania of the present moment will be less and it already creaking under the blows of the foundations of parliamentary questions. Then the "servant eulogy will replace inevitalmente for historical nemesis" the cowardly outrage, "the sand castle will collapse miserably and what should be the project of his life will become the grave of his political career.

Further to the response to the criticism of the Crescent Sgarbi invite someone to reflect on these words of Calvin, author cited several times (in error). " of a city do not enjoy the seven or seventy wonders, but the answer it gives to your question."

below my comment appeared on the blog of 'The Unit 17/07 / 2009 ( http://cittaecitta.blog.unita.it//Le_due_scelte_di_Salerno_491.shtml ) reported on the Committee website and no Crescent ( www.nocrescent.it )

drying clothes WHERE THE CONDOMINIUMS CRESCENT?

About the project:
First, the controversy on the actual size speaks volumes about the transparency of the project and its successful transmission of nationality. Any action of waterfront, including the tables of the competition produced by amateurs or emerging architecture is accompanied by an extensive series of fotorendering. This is primarily a form of study and preliminary environmental impact assessment on the part of the architectural designer, as well as a modern and effective tool for reporting and dissemination of the work, its more easily understood, even by less experienced . In the case of the Crescent fotoinserimento three-dimensional, or at least the prospectus with the inclusion of buildings overlooking the sea curtain in order to compare the heights, has never been made public, but for sure because there is no doubt that the study has been carried out for Bofill reasons set out above and submit documentation to the Department. E 'state is shown with great fanfare but the model has the essential function of defining and highlighting the volume and architecture of the individual, but not his actual relationship with the context. It would be appropriate to have seen at eye level, inside the square and at strategic points (the cornerstones of the iconography of the city) such as the waterfront, as seen from the sea looking towards the hill and the Castle of Buonadies Arechi.
Where are the official rendering of the Crescent Bofill made by the study and presented the request for an opinion to the Department? Where is the environmental impact study of the Crescent on the seafront of Salerno?
On-gap project name and not only that
It advertises the creation of a vacuum, a large square: Piazza della Libertà, in reality it will build a mammoth volume, full of cement as Crescent. It misleads the public by presenting as a public open space and what will be a building, a private building nearly 30 meters high.
identity:
Salerno is not Naples, or Rome, or Lisbon, and then did not need a second square of the Plebiscite, a second Piazza del Popolo, etc.. If Salerno had not ever get an identity not by copying other cities, other models. Who says Salerno lack of identity, he just can not see it. There is an error cultural background, the Crescent will be the most beautiful building in the world (obviously not with the current form) designed by the most acclaimed of the moment (obviously not the current one) but would incorrectly attempt to emulation of reality different from ours. It 'obvious that the culture of the project, the sensitivity to the environment and the landscape, knowledge of the real potential of our village, not only exploited but let wither and agony, are not at home nor find a home in Salerno Crescent .
On beauty:
It appeals to the excessive volume, at huge, the barrier between the coast and the city, the type obsolete, etc. .. The aesthetics do not argue, we know that is subjective and debatable. The beautiful object does not exist ... but the objective is ugly! and then we have the courage to say it clearly: the Crescent is objectively bad.
In the end (but not too much to defuse):
Where drying clothes condos at the Crescent, from the balconies overlooking the largest square in Europe? Or all of the apartments will be equipped with a dryer? but we know our parts not in use. When the Festivalbar be snatched Plebiscite Square, hosted at Freedom Square will like to rest the poor millionaires living in the crescent condominiums with all those decibels?

I Forgot The Combination To My Dudley Lock

Codex Sinaiticus

I read the name "Codex Sinaiticus " for the first time a few minutes ago on the website of La Repubblica in an blurb on the side of the main news, there was talk of the oldest bible online. The news intrigued me and here's what I discovered about it: the Codex Sinaiticus is a manuscript of the Christian Bible, which dates from the fourth century AD , inside contains the oldest complete transcript of the New Testament. Moreover, it is a copy of Septuagint, or the liturgical version of the Old Testament for the Orthodox Church. It is therefore a fundamental text importance from the standpoint of religious but it is even more to scholars of religion s tory because within it there are many corrections made during copying. And it is not always fixes errors trascrivente but more often modifications of the original text with advertisements, sometimes of whole sentences. Studying the Codex Sinaiticus and comparing it with other transcripts is possible to reconstruct some of passages through which has reached the "modern" version of the Holy Scriptures . In practice, the study of the manuscript is can understand how the Bible was read, interpreted and used in the early centuries of Christianity.

Codex Sinaiticus, share apartments in the British Museum

If the study of the code is interesting, the more his story turns out to be "modern." It was recovered by Konstantin von Tischendorf at St. Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai, Egypt. It took three trips (and the intervention of the Tsar Alexander II) for almost the entire manuscript , jealously guarded by the monks who still consider the manuscript stolen from the monastery unless he is actually bought by the Tsar himself in 1859, date last trip Konstantin Von Tischendor. The code has been preserved at the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg until 1933, when it was sold to the British Museum . In
1975, during the renovation of the monastery, v Enner other scrolls belonging to the light code, which are currently preserved at the monastery.

The historical events are thus meant that the Codex Sinaiticus is currently divided between four institutions: the British Museum (347 sheets), the library of the University of Leipzig (43 sheets - I could not understand how they got there ...), the Monastery of Saint Catherine (12 sheets and 40 pieces) and the Russian National Library (6 pieces of paper, evidently left out the purchase of the British). In 2005 these four institutions decide to give life to a project conservation, preservation and digitization of the manuscript , so as to make available all of this important historical record. First has assessed the conservation status of each papyrus (or fragment thereof) with an assessment completed out by international experts who work (alas) only with a magnifying glass and experience. Later it was decided to intervene "loosely" on the sheets considered at risk. For each portion of the manuscript is written nanny s a card which contains all the features of the paper, from thick, ending with the ink color and its stage of bleaching.
He later completed the digitization of all the code . Before the acquisition of the photos we had to decide which were the best conditions to obtain readable images, while not altering the original sheet (I think especially as an ancient parchment and the ink can be sensitive to its values \u200b\u200b Lux too high). The shots were taken in raking light , to highlight the conservation status of the parchment over its content. The third part
work involved a team of "transcribers / translators" . It 'was in fact made a full transcript of the manuscript greek in uncial (capital) to which was then joined by the t ranslation in English, Russian, Greek (moderna!) and German. Note that the transcription is of fundamental importance for easier reading of the text, which is sometimes difficult using only the photographs.

Just yesterday began at the British, a two-day p resentation of the project just ended. The result of the work of a team at least one hundred members is enclosed in a beautiful site that I recommend you visit: http://www.codex-sinaiticus.net/en/ .

We carry only a screenshot of the wonderful section where we can read any page of the Codex Sinaiticus:

ESTER 1:1 to


left-side photo waterway page, top the right transcription and under translation in English. also available from the menu display board preservation of the papyrus in question.

The site also contains a wealth of information (much more than I have in the post I quote) about the history of the Code and its importance to the community historical research.
would be nice to live one day be able to see the code, and, who knows, maybe do some analysis on those ink ... but that's another story about my academic research ... maybe one day I could do a post on these measures! Time will tell ... for now let's enjoy this beautiful site, the result of a really good project that should be completed on all precious codes at risk. We hope that digitization (and the consequent liberalization or dissemination of images obtained on the internet) really become a practice even in our libraries.
