Il quartiere Tamburi di Taranto, oramai da 50 anni quartiere dormitorio a ridosso dell'acciaieria Italsider, adesso Ilva.
E' sicuramente il quartiere più inquinato d'Europa.
E' un quartiere popolare abitato principalmente da operai dell'ilva, pesionati e pescatori.
Da molti anni è alla ribalta delle cronache per i tassi di concentrazione di diossina e benzoapirene dell'aria che superano abbondantemente le soglie consentite per legge.
Anzi, il 13 agosto 2010 il governo, con un decreto legge ribattezzato "salva Ilva", ha pensato bene di eliminare vincoli legati alle soglie di emissione del benzoapirene, un potentissimo cancerogeno.
Il quartiere Tamburi ha una mortalità per cancro del 40% più alta della media nazionale.
Emilio Riva, il proprietario della più grande acciaieria Europea non ha mosso un dito (nonostante lui sostenga il contrario) per ridurre le emissioni.
----------------------------------
The district Tamburi in Taranto, was born as a commuter area near to the biggest steel farm in Europe: Ilva.
It's surely the most polluted area of Europe.
It's mainly inhabited by workers, retired workers of Ilva and fishermen.
For many years, the concentration of dioxins and benzoapirene into the air far exceedes the thresholds allowed by law.
Indeed, 13 August 2010 the government, with a law dubbed "save Ilva" has removed the constraints on the threshold of benzoapirene, a powerful carcinogen.
The district has a cancer mortality by 40% higher than the national average.
Emilio Riva, the owner of the largest European steelmaker farm did not lift a finger (although he claims to the contrary) to reduce emissions.
Happy New Year 2011 !
Wish you all the best !
あけましておめでとうございます！
今年もよろしくお願いします！
Eric and I went to Cypress Mountain to see the sunrise with our Vancouver Photo Club friends（バンクーバー写真倶楽部）.
It was the first time since I've been in Vancouver that it didn't rain on new year's day.
We were freezing (temparature was about -5C°), but it was worth it !

Cocullo is a little town in the Province of L'Aquila, located in the Abruzzo region of Italy. The village is situated in the Peligna Valley, between the towns of Avezzano and Sulmona. The origins of Cocullo are closely related to the Ancient Roman town of Koukoulon. Cocullo is known for his singular patron saint's holiday, named Festa dei Serpari, in which the patron saint's statue (Domenico Abate) is transported in procession covered with lot of snakes. The reptiles themselves are transported in procession by local serpari, a sort of "snake catchers", and released in the surrounding woods at the end of the holiday. The festival, set every first thursday in May, is a receptive event for Italian and foreigner tourists. This tradition, present also in coat of arms symbology, substituted the ancient Roman mythologic ritual of Angitia, a snake goddess worshipped by the Marsi.
Frère d’Alain Montcouquiol « Nimeño I », « Nimeño II » reste encore aujourd’hui la principale figura de la tauromachie française. Après sa première novillada à Nîmes le 17 mai 1975, il obtient l’aide de Manolo Chopera, l’un des plus importants organisateurs de corrida espagnols. Celui-ci lui ouvre les portes de nombreuses arènes espagnoles. Jusqu’en 1982, il participe à un grand nombre de corridas en Espagne, en France et en Amérique Latine.
En 1982, il se sépare de Manolo Chopera, et continue sous la direction de son frère. Le 14 mai 1989, à Nîmes, il participe à un mano a mano en compagnie du portugais Victor Mendes, devant des taureaux de Guardiola. Mendes ayant été blessé par son premier taureau, « Nimeño » doit affronter seul les six taureaux : il remporte ce jour là un triomphe mémorable après une corrida d’anthologie.
Le 10 septembre 1989, à Arles, il doit affronter des taureaux de Miura. Son second taureau, « Pañolero », le bouscule violemment et le propulse en l’air. « Nimeño » chute tête première, se lésant très fortement les cervicales : les chirurgiens marseillais qui l’opèrent reconnaissent que, jamais, ils n’avaient eu à s’occuper de quelqu’un blessé aussi gravement aux cervicales ; dans tous les cas qu’ils avaient pu connaître, le blessé était mort dans les minutes ayant suivi l’accident. Il reste entre la vie et la mort durant plusieurs jours. Une fois hors de danger, il reste tétraplégique et lutte longtemps pour retrouver l’usage de ses membres. Durant de longs mois, l’afición française suit, quasiment jour après jour, son évolution. Plus d’un an après son accident, il a enfin retrouvé l’usage de ses deux jambes et de son bras droit ; en revanche, le bras gauche reste paralysé et tout indique qu’il en sera définitivement ainsi. Le 25 novembre 1991, il se suicide par pendaison dans le garage de sa maison. - Christian Montcouquiol was the brother of Alain Montcouquiol, a bullfighter known as "Nimeño I". From 1975 to 1982, Christian appeared in arenas in Spain, France, and Latin America under the direction of Spanish promoter Manolo Chopera. In 1982, Christian separated from Chopera and turned to his brother Alain for management.
On May 14, 1989 in Nîmes, Nimeño II and Portuguese torero Victor Mendes were scheduled to fight six bulls. Mendes was injured early in the match, and Nimeño II won renown for defeating all six bulls single-handedly. On September 10, 1989 in Arles, Nimeño II was hurled into the air by a bull named Pañolero. He landed on his head, fracturing his cervical vertebrae and suffering paraplegia. After months of rehabilitation, Nimeño regained the use of his legs and right arm, but his left arm remained paralzyed. On November 25, 1991, Nimeño II committed suicide by hanging himself in his garage. WIKIPEDIA

Il punto di vista della nuvola sarebbe differente,
quello del granchio diverso ancora,
quello di Enrico la Talpa sarà forse un po' approssimativo,
però non lo so.
Di una cosa son certo ed è che della propria vita ciascuno di noi è interprete e regista indiscusso, ha la facoltà di assegnarsi un ruolo drammatico oppure tragico oppure comico o forse chissà.
Qualunque vita, comunque la si voglia vedere, contiene sia gioie e sia dolori.
Quanto maggiori i dolori rispetto alle gioie è solo e soltanto un punto di vista.
[Mostratemi un eroe e vi farò vedere un imbecille col senso del drammatico]

Sparrow Blue was the very first custom I bought almost 2 years ago. I've had many dolls come & go & have even considered letting her travel but I also knew I'd regret it if I sold her. So she stays & I'm happy about that.

Stay away from Harris Enamel. Any color. That shit is by far the absolute worst spraypaint i've smelled in my life. its not just a strong chemical smell, the stuff stinks like rotten vegetables.
More to come.
MOWANJUM Aboriginal FESTIVAL.
In the culture of the Worora, Ngarinyin, and Wunumbul tribes, which make up the Mowanjum community outside Derby, Western Australia, the Wandjina is the supreme spirit being.
The tribes came together early this century at the Kunmunya Presbyterian mission and the government settlement at Munja. Since 1950, they have endured many forced moves, first to Wotjulum, then to the old Mowanjum site and, finally, to the present day Mowanjum site about 15 kilometres outside Derby.
As with most complex cultures, opinions about creation can differ. According to David Mowaljarlai (dec), a highly respected Mowanjum elder, the Worora, Ngarinyin and Wunumbul people are the three Wandjina tribes. Only these three tribes see the Wandjinas as the true creators of the land. Many other Australian Aboriginal tribes believe that the Dreamtime snake or Rainbow Serpent was the main creative force.
According to Mowanjum artist Mabel King, during Lai Lai (the creation time), Wallungunder, the "big boss" Wandjina, came from the Milky Way to create the earth and all the people. These first people were the Gyorn Gyorn – what some gudiya (white) people call Bradshaw figures, named after the gudiya to first see them in 1891. The Gyorn Gyorn had no laws or kinship and wandered around lost.
Wallungunder saw that he could do good with these people, so he went back to the Milky Way and brought many other Wandjinas with the power of the Dreamtime snake to help him bring laws and kinship to the Gyorn Gyorn people. The Dreamtime snake represents Mother Earth and is called ungud. Each of the artists has his or her own ungud birthplace or dreaming place.
The Wandjinas created the animals and the baby spirits that reside in the rock pools or sacred ungud places throughout the Kimberley, and continue to control everything that happens on the land and in the sky and sea.
Sam Woolagoodja (dec), a distinguished and eminent Worora leader and law man, described the Wandjina image by saying 'their power is so great that they don't need to speak, so they have no mouth. Their eyes are powerful and black, like the eye of a cyclone. The lines around a Wandjina's head can mean lots of things – clouds, rain, lightning. The Wandjinas, he said, painted their own images on the cave walls before they returned to the spirit world.'
In addition to being the sole holder of many sacred laws, one of Sam's most important responsibilities (and one that now belongs to his son, Donny) was the upkeep and repainting of hundreds of Wandjina cave images along the Kimberley coast. This ensures that the Wandjinas' power remains strong.
Almost 20 years ago, David Mowaljarlai told local Derby District High School art teacher Mark Norval that the elders were very worried about the young people forgetting about the Wandjinas and their true homelands. "They should build a big place out of rocks, like a cave, at Mowanjum and we should do paintings all over those rocks to teach all the kids about our culture," he said.
Today, through the efforts of the Mowanjum elders and artists and many dedicated local people and businesses, the Wandjina culture is not being lost. Rather, as the artists continue to paint and the Mowanjum children begin to rediscover their own beliefs and heritage, the culture is evolving.
Thanks to the generosity of the Mowanjum people, the world now has the opportunity to learn about one of the oldest and most powerful images in Aboriginal art and the stories that have been passed on for more than 100 centuries.

"O gato não pede amor. Nem depende dele. Mas, quando o sente, é capaz de amar muito. Um gato é um italiano educado na Inglaterra. Sente como um italiano mas se comporta como um lorde inglês." (Artur da Távola)
