The Battle of Messines during the First World War was a prelude to the much larger Third Battle of Ypres − better known as Passchendaele − which began on 31 July 1917.
In contrast to the eventual disaster at Passchendaele, the carefully prepared attack on Messines was a striking success. At 3.10 a.m. on 7 June, huge mines that had been placed under the German lines by hard-working tunnellers exploded. Almost immediately, New Zealand troops of the 2nd and 3rd (Rifle) Brigades left their trenches and advanced towards the ridge in front of them, on which lay the ruins of Messines village. Australian and British troops moved forward on their flanks.
The New Zealanders paid a heavy price for success: by the time the New Zealand Division was withdrawn on 9 June, it had suffered 3700 casualties, 700 of them fatal.

Nowadays global warming is one the urgent problems that our society need to deal with, for our wealth and for the future’s. This project focuses on coastal systems and low-lying areas because they are projected to be exposed to increasing risks (i.e. erosion, floods) and their effects will be exacerbated by rising human-induced pressures on the environment. First, we gathered data about the present situation and how could be dangerous the future one, according to the four possible scenarios provided by the Fourth Assessment Report of IPCC. Then we searched for the major causes related
to the damage of coasts and lands, and we figured out that the huge increase of greenhouse gases during last century is the main reason why
temperature suddenly rose, causing thereby the slowly shattering of the world how we know it.
We collected all informations in the artefact below, showing how the ‘machinery’ of climate change works from the point of view of coastal
systems, how coasts react to environmental changes and how these changes affect human living. To give an existing example of what climate change
has led and will lead to us, we provided data from disastrous consequences caused by Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans’ coasts in 2005.
Therefore, we also focused on North America pollution’s data.
In conclusion, we gathered all the “advices for the future” and put them in a “reaction” area. This has a great importance because it shows how
population and governments should behave to slow down this serious situation, that is to ACT with social sustainable awereness and to promote
laws in aid of it.
All of this in order to avoid the “coulda, woulda, shoulda” statement, ever.
That’s the way we want it to be.

Siccome che è qualche mese che faccio il CoCoProFilo non ho più tempo a disposizione per riflettere su quello che faccio, come ad esempio stamattina che al bar ho messo il cioccolatino a sciogliere nel caffè senza prima scartarlo. Ma in fondo si tratta di priorità, e una volta fatte certe scelte bisogna accettarle sino in fondo.
I più maligni potrebbero dire che questo post ricorda molto quello del mese scorso sulla misteriosa scomparsa della ditta in cui lavoro, e che il vecchio Votarxy sta iniziando a ripetersi come quegli autori che, bruciati in fretta, si limitano a viaggiare sul sicuro girando sempre sullo stesso punto come zio Paperone quando mumbleggia.
By the way, chi ricorda un film con Johnny Depp in cui lui interpreta un personaggio sfatto dalla voce strascicata che si sballa con sostanze stupefacenti? Credo che si chiamasse Blow, o forse Secret Window... o era From Hell? Ah, no, ecco: Paura e Delirio a Las Vegas!
Ad ogni modo, sappiate che due volte a settimana, solitamente gli ultimi due giorni lavorativi, vengo spedito dal mio pezzetto di provincia (Barcellona) nel capoluogo locale, percorrendo l'autostrada con mezzi pubblici a pagamento per il quale forse riceverò un rimborso. Anche ieri, come di mia consuetudine, appena passati trenta minuti dopo mezzodì mi parto dal Tribunale ove svolgo le mie principali attività per recarmi alla fermata dell'autobus. Solitamente quello che mi porta a casa è un doubledecker (insomma, un coso a due piani) bianco della compagnia AST, che ferma a Piazza Duomo verso le 12 e 45 e mi porta a destinazione dopo poco meno di un'ora.
Sicché anche ieri appena vedo accostare l'autobus AST bianco a due piani vi salgo, mostro il biglietto all'autista che dopo averlo controllato lo oblitera a mano, mi siedo e chiudo gli occhi.
Viaggiando spesso, ho sviluppato quella sorta di sesto senso tipico dei pendolari per cui sono in grado di addormentarmi istantaneamente cullato dall'andatura del bus e di risvegliarmi al momento opportuno, poco prima della mia fermata. Anche ieri, infatti, alle 13 e 40 mi desto e scopro che siamo ormai vicini al casello. Tutto regolare, ma l'istinto mi pizzica come una pizza alla diavola due ore dopo averla mangiata. Difatti il primo cartello che veggo appena usciti dall'autostrada mi informa che l'autobus sta facendo ingresso nella ridente città di Patti
Sceso dall'autobus con l'aplomb perfetto di mister Bean e Steve Urkel (chi lo ricorda?) m'incammino verso casa a piedi per una trentina di metri, poi la stanchezza ha il sopravvento e chiedo informazioni ad una ragazza, che dopo il terrore per il pensiero di essere assalita da un maniaco e la delusione per il mio essere disinteressato a lei mi spiega che non ci sono autobus per tornare indietro e che mi conviene andare alla stazione e tornare in treno.
Riprendo a camminare e, ovviamente, piove.
Stanco e perduto giungo alla tappa e faccio il biglietto.
Piove più forte, e non ci sono ripari dove aspetto che la locomotiva appaia all'orizzonte coi suoi allegri sbuffi di vapore (siamo tecnologicamente avanzati, dalle mie parti, che vi pare?)...
Poi, come nel più classico happy ending dei film ollivuddiani, il treno arriva e mi porta con se, verso la salvezza!
So much attention is focused on Israel, many describe us as the “big baddy’s” – look how big we really are compared to all the Arab countries surrounding us! And the world wants us to give away chunks of that tiny yellow dot on the map...
Huntersfield Mountain is a very remote mountain, just North of Catskill Park Blue Line, and it contains a lean-to, and clearings for views on multiple sides of the peak of Huntersfield Mountain.
