not that my pop needs to be accompained, but the evening had a special treat for all genoese sport fans: after an absence of circa 17 years &lt;a href="http://www.genoacfc.it/"&gt;Genoa Cricket and Football Club&lt;/a&gt; again had to play an international match in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League"&gt;Europa League 2009-10&lt;/a&gt;, the new incarnation of the good old &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Cup_%28trophy%29"&gt;Uefa cup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The evening's opposition was represented by the guys of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odense_Boldklub"&gt;Odense BK&lt;/a&gt;, who went back to Denmark with three goals against a single one scored, Genoa managed to best the danes with a first score by Moretti, helped by a defensive foul-up of the guests, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucho_Figueroa"&gt;Lucho Figueroa&lt;/a&gt; scored twice in the opening of the second half.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the challenge is only halfway over, and given Uefa rules on goals scored away the red-and-blue griffins will have not to take lightly the coming match in Odense, but after all, the day (rather, the night) has been won, 3-1 is a neat score and a great way to start the season in front of the genoese crowd...forge on..."Cranky old one"!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-6863899992598832392?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/6863899992598832392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=6863899992598832392&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6863899992598832392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6863899992598832392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/08/hurrah-for-cranky-old-one.html' title='Hurrah for the &quot;Cranky Old One&quot;!'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/So7mrn73ooI/AAAAAAAAAQI/wkNdExpUQvM/s72-c/P1012828.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-4007778725010572016</id><published>2009-08-21T16:25:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-08-21T16:40:19.172Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='genoa cfc'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='partita'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='odense bk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='uefa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marassi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='calcio'/><title type='text'>Forza "vecchio balordo"!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/So7LFWp1nfI/AAAAAAAAAQA/yhyNR6Kq7cc/s1600-h/P1012828.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Lovecraft, Hyeronimous Bosch and Albrecht Duerer, a menacingly lush roleplay environment where the perfumed silks and laces of nobility can't hide the stench of the corruption gnawing within them, where magic walks hand in hand with madness and damnation...where players are called to make a stand before forces vastly beyond their understanding.&lt;br /&gt;It's horror, it's low-key, it's grimy...it's Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay!&lt;br /&gt;I have selected a forgotten corner of the Old World, the slice of Eastern Tilea connected to the western provinces of the Border Princedoms...given the fact this zone lacks any published materials about it...it's perfect to experiment a bit in manual-writing.&lt;br /&gt;I have thought up some storylines about the main cities and features of the region, and will start from there to build up playable scenarios which should be released together as a web-tool for novice or experienced gamesmasters.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-5187924481621230097?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/5187924481621230097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=5187924481621230097&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/5187924481621230097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/5187924481621230097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/08/wfrp-2nd-ed-project-eastern-tilea.html' title='WFRP (2nd ed.): Project Eastern Tilea'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Snch79eUr5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/-ffpwbS9N_8/s72-c/Wfrplogo.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-2551028938543443177</id><published>2009-08-03T18:40:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-03T19:26:44.055+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tilea'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gdr'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giochi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='games workshop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fantasy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wfrp'/><title type='text'>Wfrp (2a ed.) - Progetto: Tilea Orientale</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Snch79eUr5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/-ffpwbS9N_8/s1600-h/Wfrplogo.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

fin dai lontani giorni della mia tarda adolescenza quando, sfogliando le pagine dell'house organ della &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_Workshop"&gt;Games Workshop&lt;/a&gt;, "&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Dwarf"&gt;White Dwarf&lt;/a&gt;" venni a contatto con gli occasionali articoli che presentavano scenari, ambientazioni e materiali per questo intrigante gioco di ruolo, basato su un'originale ambientazione gotica e oscura con reminescenze di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_Bosch"&gt;Bosch&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durer"&gt;Dürer&lt;/a&gt;, molto più coerente dei pastiche hollywodian-medievalistici della TSR, e memorabile per la sua atmosfera di latente minaccia che lo accomunava quasi più alle atmosfere di "orrore cosmico" &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Phillips_Lovecraft"&gt;Lovecraftiano&lt;/a&gt; che non alla High Fantasy dozzinale e scontata di mille inutili epigoni di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien"&gt;Tolkien&lt;/a&gt; (o anche di Tolkien stesso).&lt;br /&gt;Ho giocato a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay ogni volta che ho potuto e, inconsciamente, mi sono più volte ispirato ad esso (cercando di rimanere sempre originale), quando ho sviluppato il mio milieux fantasy (il Mondo di Dhrul)...ho seguito con interesse i tenaci sforzi della community warhammeriana di tenere in vita il gioco nei momenti oscuri in cui la Games Workshop (stronzi) ha trascurato la franchise affidandola alla Hogshead Games salvo impedire a quest'ultima di produrre alcunché di interessante e innovativo per essa.&lt;br /&gt;Il breve "rinascimento" del sistema nella sua seconda edizione (2005-2008) ha portato regole più snelle e in buona parte sensate, oltre a un buon numero di supplementi fra avventure e moduli geografici, ma quando quegli &lt;a href="http://junkyard.aeroplastics.net/John_Isaacs/2004/04_Isaacs_big_shit_R.jpg"&gt;STRONZI&lt;/a&gt; della Games Workshop hanno mandato tutto in vacca per l'ennesima volta è stato chiaro che il fandom warhammeriano doveva nuovamente mettersi in moto per tenere in vita il gioco.&lt;br /&gt;A questo proposito, ho deciso di prendere in mano una zona del "Vecchio Mondo" totalmente trascurata dagli scrittori e dagli sviluppatori in oltre vent'anni di esistenza di Warhammer e di cercare di plasmarla in maniera coerente, dotandola di trame, personaggi, locazioni, statistiche, spunti di avventura e scenari pregenerati.&lt;br /&gt;La mia scelta è caduta sull'angolo sudorientale di Tilea, un cuneo di terra pressato fra pendici montane, foreste e il confine coi Principati ad Est, dove le poche vie di comunicazione (fluviali e stradali) garantiscono il passaggio di preziose mercanzie dai regni nanici e dai favolosi reami di Ind e Cathay...è mia intenzione sviluppare un documento il più possibile completo e informativo su questa regione e, mano a mano che il progetto proseguirà e prenderà forma, ho intenzione di usare questo blog per informare il mio pubblico delle scelte operate e dei progressi fatti.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-2551028938543443177?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/2551028938543443177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=2551028938543443177&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/2551028938543443177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/2551028938543443177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/08/wfrp-2a-ed-progetto-tilea-orientale.html' title='Wfrp (2a ed.) - Progetto: Tilea Orientale'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Snch79eUr5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/-ffpwbS9N_8/s72-c/Wfrplogo.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-1871758814837951185</id><published>2009-07-31T22:08:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T21:34:18.748+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pro-choice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mifepristone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='catholic church'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='womens&apos;

Mifepristone is a synthetic steroidal hormone which, acting as a competitive receptor for progesterone, is able to make a pregnancy terminate, essentially an abortive drug.&lt;br /&gt;Initially known as RU-486, since the laboratories which first produced it were the &lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roussel-Uclaf"&gt;Roussel-Uclaf&lt;/a&gt; in France, in 1982 (later merged by the German Hoechst firm in 1997), it was thoroughly tested and tried and finally released for general use in 1988.&lt;br /&gt;Today, 21 years later, the drug is finally available in Italy too, having been accepted by the local &lt;a href="http://www.agenziafarmaco.it/section8983.html"&gt;drug agency&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Were more than 2 decades of waiting really necessary? Is France some sort of barbaric nation used to unleash untested drugs on its unsuspecting population??&lt;br /&gt;Of course not, but the nosy Catholic Church has put every dirty trick in its arsenal at work to impede, derail and slow down the drug's acceptance to a treacly crawl.&lt;br /&gt;Catholic hierarchies mantain that the more abortive procedures stay surgical, menacing, painful and risky the less "female sinners" will be "tempted" to get rid of their embyros.&lt;br /&gt;So our bishops and cardinals lobbied hard to make a pipe inserted up the cunt remain the one and only mean of abortion for Italian women as long as they could.&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, due to the rotten law on abortion we have in Italy the Mifepristone drug won't be for sale in chemist shops/pharmacies, but rather distributed through hospitals...so "coscientious objectors" among medical personnel could always refuse to provide it!&lt;br /&gt;The Catholic Church in Italy has enormous leverage in hospitals and local health agencies, often managing to have "its own made men" elected or nominated at the head of health institutions...if young atheist/agnostic medical personnel "dare" perform abortions they are black-marked for life and have their careers hampered or stopped dead in their tracks, ending their days performing just and only abortions.&lt;br /&gt;It's a real mafia and it strangles and abuses the right to choice of Italian girls and women.&lt;br /&gt;Give this some thought, spread the world around...fight against the dictatorship of the Catholic Church in a lay and mostly agnostic society!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-1871758814837951185?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/1871758814837951185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=1871758814837951185&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/1871758814837951185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/1871758814837951185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/more-freedom-of-choice-for-italian.html' title='More freedom of choice for Italian women...but only a weenie bit!'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SnM9S_M27RI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Rvuqhq3ktLg/s72-c/mifegyne_1815.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-4355436616755705112</id><published>2009-07-31T19:50:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T21:34:34.811+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mifepristone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='aborto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='farmaco'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diritti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='donne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chiesa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='medicina'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Francia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RU-486'/><title type='text'>In Italia le donne hanno un po' più di diritti...ma solo un po'!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SnM9S_M27RI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Rvuqhq3ktLg/s1600-h/mifegyne_1815.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

un ormone steroideo sintetico che, agendo da recettore competitivo del progesterone, è in grado di terminare un'iniziale stato di gravidanza inducendo spontaneamente l'aborto dell'embrione, senza dover ricorrere a intervento chirurgico.&lt;br /&gt;Inizialmente conosciuto col nome di RU-486 a causa della sigla del laboratorio che lo sviluppò e che chiese la registrazione della molecola (&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roussel-Uclaf"&gt;Roussel-Uclaf&lt;/a&gt;, in seguito acquisita dalla tedesca Hoechst nel 1997) il farmaco venne presentato nel 1982 e, dopo attenti studi e analisi, introdotto sul mercato francese nel 1988.&lt;br /&gt;Oggi, a ventun anni e passa di distanza, questo farmaco, che sgrava donne e ragazze dal rischio, dal timore e in definitiva anche dal puro e semplice fastidio di doversi sottoporre a un aborto chirurgico è stato "finalmente" accettato dalla competente &lt;a href="http://www.agenziafarmaco.it/section8983.html"&gt;Agenzia del farmaco&lt;/a&gt; per l'uso in Italia.&lt;br /&gt;C'era bisogno di aspettare 21 anni? Forse che in Francia sono una nazione di trogloditi che non sanno fare i test clinici? Forse che nel frattempo ci sono state stragi di donne che avevano assunto il Mifepristone?&lt;br /&gt;No...no...no...in tutta la storia del suo uso il Mifepristone ha causato sì e no 30 decessi, a momenti è più letale l'aspirina...ma in Italia noi abbiamo la chiesa cattolica...che è riuscita tramite la sua "longa manus" a ritardare, impedire, traccheggiare, tirare per il lungo tutta la procedura d'adozione...in modo che le donne e le ragazze italiane potessero ancora provare il "brivido esotico" di farsi inserire una pipetta su per la fica per farsi svuotare l'utero da un embrione non voluto...così i nostri cari pretonzi speravano di far desistere qualche "impura peccatrice" dai propositi abortivi.&lt;br /&gt;E non è finita qui...ovviamente...siccome secondo la legge porcata sull'aborto che ci ritroviamo il Mifepristone sarà disponibile solo in ospedale...e siccome i sozzi preti di cui sopra, uomini a mezzo che non hanno mai fatto sesso con una donna adulta e consenziente (i chierichetti non contano!), hanno le manacce infilate ovunque nel nostro sistema sanitario...e fanno eleggere o nominare i rappresentanti della loro mafia e della loro massoneria (che sia di "cosca" &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Dei"&gt;Opus Dei&lt;/a&gt; o di "rito" &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comunione_e_Liberazione"&gt;ciellino&lt;/a&gt; poco importa) come assessori alla Sanità e direttori di ospedali e di ASL vedremo tanti bei casi di "obiezione" (imposta col metodo del ricatto mafioso e del blocco della carriera) e di impedimento dell'esercizio di un legittimo diritto delle cittadine italiane da parte di questi avvoltoi con la tonaca e dei loro manutengoli.&lt;br /&gt;In un'Europa in cui &lt;a href="http://islamineurope.blogspot.com/2008/12/rome-deserted-mosque.html"&gt;anche i fedeli musulmani di più recente immigrazione&lt;/a&gt;

Go and 'explain' her how Nato is deeply concerned for her and her 'sisters'!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Luckily &lt;a href="http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-03/26/content_11079013.htm"&gt;Holland&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/11/05/obama-afghanistan.html"&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt; have already decided for a troops pullout, and &lt;a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2009/07/2009728181223572146.html"&gt;Great Britain&lt;/a&gt; is very close to a similar decisions, according to a recent poll.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-3001540870456204373?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/3001540870456204373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=3001540870456204373&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/3001540870456204373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/3001540870456204373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/afghanistan-failures-and-lies-may-hide.html' title='Afghanistan: failures and lies may hide budding hope'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sm9NckHQU1I/AAAAAAAAAPY/B7JEUMmh7yk/s72-c/2HUaKY4V6J3ckHfJUG.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-380677763501208927</id><published>2009-07-28T19:58:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T11:32:09.804+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malalai Joya'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guerra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><title type='text'>Afghanistan: fra fallimenti e menzogne</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sm9LW3uQH1I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/JP2YfEYDT0E/s1600-h/2HUaKY4V6J3ckHfJUG.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 258px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sm9LW3uQH1I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/JP2YfEYDT0E/s400/2HUaKY4V6J3ckHfJUG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363588537508699986" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mentre speculatori, propagandisti, ipocriti e &lt;a href="http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/guido-rampoldi-e-un-cretino.html"&gt;cretini assortiti come Guido Rampoldi&lt;/a&gt; continuano a belare e geremiare sul "sacro dovere" che l'occidente avanzato e democratico ha di continuare a occupare l'Afghanistan (a tutto vantaggio delle declinanti mire imperialistiche delle potenze atlantiche in Asia Centrale) &lt;a href="http://malalaijoyaitalia.blogspot.com/"&gt;Malalai Joya&lt;/a&gt;, che nel 2005 fu la più giovane eletta nel parlamento di Kabul si è resa conto che la parvenza di democrazia costruita nel suo paese e affidata allo scagnozzo ex-Unocal &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamid_Karzai"&gt;Hamid Karzai&lt;/a&gt; non è altro che un'impostura per giustificare la prosecuzione dell'occupazione militare Nato e, in &lt;a href="http://www.islamtimes.org/vdcf.ydciw6dct7raw.html"&gt;questo articolo&lt;/a&gt; sul sito-web "Islam Times" la stessa si diffonde in considerazioni amare ma molto puntuali e razionali sulla situazione del suo paese e su come le tanto propagandate prossime elezioni non potranno cambiare niente, servendo solo come pretesto per la prosecuzione "ad infinitum" della presenza militare straniera.&lt;br /&gt;Sentito Guido Rampoldi?

has led the judges to force the local authority to remove the limitations, due to a 1931-vintage code (back when Mussolini was still ruling Italy!).&lt;br /&gt;With great celerity the human-shaped toxic waste named Matteo Salvini, who is soon going to pollute the halls of Bruxelles' Europarlament thanks to a few thousands votes of redneck uncivilised yobs has retorted that: "Those judges should leave Italy and go to Morocco".&lt;br /&gt;We have to remember that Salvini managed to make philosopher &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianni_Vattimo"&gt;Gianni Vattimo&lt;/a&gt; call him "a rotten racist jerkoff" on live tv, which is quite something, considering how philosophers are less inclined to tirades of insults compared to the usual run-of-the-mill rowdy drunkard.&lt;br /&gt;I think that Salvini and his 'rotten racist jerkoff' friends should instead be the ones doing some packing and migrating to israel, which is presently the only openly racist state in existance.&lt;br /&gt;In israel not only a sizeable part of the population is subjected to restrictions and discriminations worthy of comparison with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_South_Africa"&gt;Zuid Afrika&lt;/a&gt; of old, but recently a new set of racist measures have been passed explicitly to be aimed at black african migrants and refugees...to defend the zionist state's "purtity" against the incoming "negro hordes".&lt;br /&gt;These norms, as stated by a brave journalist in &lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1099848.html"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; have a sole historical precedent: racist laws of the fascist and nazi regimes.&lt;br /&gt;With his own words the "rotten racist jerkoff" Matteo Salvini confirms what we already suspected all along: Lega Nord politicians and supporters are really nothing but disguised fascists and nazis.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-5380857521630794341?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/5380857521630794341/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=5380857521630794341&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/5380857521630794341'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/5380857521630794341'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/matteo-salvini-is-still-same-rotten.html' title='Matteo Salvini is still the same &quot;rotten racist jerkoff&quot;'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmZKzWwUySI/AAAAAAAAAO4/fvnuqPclASQ/s72-c/busdriver.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-8447947620914079957</id><published>2009-07-22T00:04:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-22T00:24:24.499+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israele'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Milano'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matteo Salvini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Atm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lega nord'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fascismo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autobus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='razzismo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autista'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nazismo'/><title type='text'>Matteo Salvini è sempre il solito "brutto coglione leghista"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmZKzWwUySI/AAAAAAAAAO4/fvnuqPclASQ/s1600-h/busdriver.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

multiple rocket-launching batteries experienced a resurgence in popularity and were re-integrated into the&lt;br /&gt;arsenals of modern armies, thanks to improvements in range, precision and efficacy.&lt;br /&gt;While most military history buffs will immediatly think of the German &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nebelwerfer"&gt;nebelwerfer&lt;/a&gt; and the even more iconinc Soviet &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalinorgel"&gt;Katyushas&lt;/a&gt; when mentioned MRLs it has not to be forgotten that western allies dabbled in their own systems, even if belatedly and not with the same enthusiasm of their German foes or their own Russian allies (perhaps due to their utter superiority in the field of traditional tube artillery and air delivered support).&lt;br /&gt;The "Land Mattress" system was initally developed by the British Army as an adaptation of a ship-based landing-support projector but, right after the first succesful operative tests (in 1944), the high-ups in His Majesty's Army decided not to pursue the project further.&lt;br /&gt;Impressed by what he had seen firsthand as an observer Canadian Lt. Colonel Eric Harris asked his Government to pick up the abandoned British project and to make it its own, to bolster the offensive capabilties of the maple leaf soldiers already deeply committed in the allied war effort.&lt;br /&gt;Made of a towable, wheeled launch frame the Mattress had 32 spiraled tubes, each of which impressed a rotation to the launched projectile, further stabilization was given by tail fins.&lt;br /&gt;The rockets (127mm in calibre) were electrically ignited and launched in salvos of 4 per second, with a variable elevation going from 23 to 45 degrees and were capable of covering a range of 4 to 8 Km at a speed inching around the sound barrier (Mach 1).&lt;br /&gt;The canadians were done with their developing efforts in september '44 and with due quickness established a training unit in liberated France (Oct '44), little less than a month later the first Mattress batteries fired their shots in anger, targeting Walcheren island from the bastions of Fort Frederik Handrik, during the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheldt"&gt;Scheldt&lt;/a&gt; crossing operations.&lt;br /&gt;Between November the 6th and the 8th, supporting the first polish armoured division on the southern bank of the Meuse, canadian MRLs delivered circa 2400 projectiles on their belaguered foes.&lt;br /&gt;Land Mattresses took part to almost all of the major confrontations which saw canadian troops involved on the western european front from fall '44 onward: from Venlo on the Westwall (3 Dec), to Kapelsche Veer (6 Jan), to Roermond salient (18-23 Jan), from "Operation "Veritable" (8-18 Feb), to "Blockbuster I " and "Blockbuster II" (26 Feb - 8 Mar), from Operations "Plunder" and "Destroyer" (26-29 Mar and 2 Apr), up to Bad Zwischenahn on the 25th of April, 1945, which saw their last recorded use on the field.&lt;br /&gt;After the war all of the Mattress batteries were disbanded and the weapon, notwithstanding its great operational success, was never employed again or further developed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-2003690323109786286?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/2003690323109786286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=2003690323109786286&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/2003690323109786286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/2003690323109786286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/multiple-rocket-launchers-of-ww2-i.html' title='Multiple Rocket Launchers of WW2 (I): Canadian Land Mattress'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmPKl5e8saI/AAAAAAAAAOw/-NI45cs56kc/s72-c/landmattress2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-4556747051481756580</id><published>2009-07-20T01:28:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-20T03:48:32.781+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lanciarazzi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Canada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guerra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Land Mattress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2a GM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alleati'/><title type='text'>Lanciarazzi multipli della 2a GM (I): il Land Mattress canadese</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmO8Fi_OoWI/AAAAAAAAAOo/mqZbAxTgJ64/s1600-h/land+mattress.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

le batterie di lanciarazzi multipli rientrarono a far parte degli arsenali degli eserciti moderni, grazie a miglioramenti nella portata, nella precisione e nell'efficacia di tale tipo di arma.&lt;br /&gt;Sebbene al solo sentir nominare il termine la maggior parte degli appassionati pensi subito ai &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/nebelwerfer"&gt;nebelwerfer&lt;/a&gt; o agli ancor più famosi &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katyusha_%28lanciarazzi%29"&gt;organi di Stalin&lt;/a&gt; sovietici gli alleati occidentali, pur non dedicando soverchie attenzioni alla "nuova" arma (forse a causa della loro grande superiorità nel campo delle artiglierie convenzionali e dei bombardamenti aerei), ne produssero e impiegarono a loro volta.&lt;br /&gt;Il sistema "Land Mattress" venne inizialmente sviluppato dall'esercito inglese come adattamento alle necessità della guerra terrestre di un lanciarazzi navale per supporto agli sbarchi ma, giunti con successo ai test pratici (nel 1944), gli alti gradi dell'esercito di sua maestà britannica decisero di terminare il programma.&lt;br /&gt;Impressionato dall'efficacia dei lanci di prova il tenente colonnello canadese Eric Harris chiese ed ottenne alle autorità del suo paese di poter rilevare il progetto britannico e continuarne lo sviluppo, onde potenziare con esso le forze armate del &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dominion&lt;/span&gt; britannico.&lt;br /&gt;Costituito da una intelaiatura di lancio montata su un rimorchio, ciascuno dei suoi 32 tubi era scanalato internamente per imprimere una rotazione al razzo in fase di lancio: l'azione stabilizzatrice era rafforzata da alette posteriori.&lt;br /&gt;I razzi (di 127mm di calibro) venivano lanciati elettricamente al ritmo di quattro per secondo, con un alzo variabile dai 27 ai 45 gradi ed erano capaci di viaggiare da 4 a 8 Km a una velocità prossima a quella del suono.&lt;br /&gt;Lo sviluppo operativo da parte canadese venne completato prima dell'inizio dell'autunno '44 e, con grande celerità, si passò alla creazione di un'unità addestrativa nelle retrovie alleate (nella Francia ormai liberata) che venne attivata a ottobre.&lt;br /&gt;Esattamente un mese dopo, il primo novembre, i primi Land Mattress canadesi lanciavano furiosamente i loro proiettili dal forte di Frederik Hendrik (presso Breskens) contro i loro bersagli sull'isola di Walcheren durante le operazioni per l'attraversamento della &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schelda"&gt;Schelda&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Fra il 6 e l'8 successivi, durante operazioni di supporto alla prima divisione corazzata polacca sulla riva sud della Mosa i lanciarazzi canadesi lasciarono andare sulle loro vittime qualcosa come 2400 proiettili.&lt;br /&gt;I Mattress si fecero onore in tutte le maggiori offensive alleate: da Venlo sulla Linea Sigfrido (3 Dic), a Kapelsche Veer (6 Gen), al Saliente di Roermond (18-23 Gen), all'Operazione "Veritable" (8-18 Feb), a "Blockbuster I " e "Blockbuster II" (26 Feb - 8 Mar), alle operazioni "Plunder" e "Destroyer" (26-29 Mar e 2 Apr), fino a Bad Zwischenahn il 25 aprile '45, che segna la data del loro ultimo impiego operativo.&lt;br /&gt;Dopo la fine della guerra tutte le batterie di Land Mattress vennero disciolte e il concetto dell'arma, nonostante l'indubbio ed evidente successo sul campo, non venne mai più ripreso.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-4556747051481756580?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/4556747051481756580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=4556747051481756580&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/4556747051481756580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/4556747051481756580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/lanciarazzi-multipli-della-2a-gm-i-il.html' title='Lanciarazzi multipli della 2a GM (I): il Land Mattress canadese'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmO8Fi_OoWI/AAAAAAAAAOo/mqZbAxTgJ64/s72-c/land+mattress.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-90015646818488594</id><published>2009-07-18T11:35:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-18T12:52:46.684+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herbs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fish'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trout'/><title type='text'>A quick recipe: salmon trout filets with herbs and almonds</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmGlloHePiI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/8V6O7xv0NDA/s1600-h/P5092817.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

and three or four garlic cloves roughly cut in five-six pieces.&lt;br /&gt;Place the whole thing in an electric blender and give it one or two pulses, no longer than a second each! The aim here is not to puree the herbs but to turn them into a coarsely amalgamated paste, the coarser the better.&lt;br /&gt;In a folded piece of kitchen paper pound a dozen grains of white and green pepper to dust and use it to sprinkle the exposed meaty sides of the trout filets, along with salt; among one dash and the other gather some oil from the sides of the skillet and use it to brush the trout.&lt;br /&gt;Smear the fish with the aromatic mix and then throw two or three pinches of slivered almonds all over it.&lt;br /&gt;Cover the skillet with a lenght of tin foil where you'll have made one or two holes with a toothpick and bake in the oven which should have been pre-warmed at 180°-190° (celsius) during the whole preparation phase.&lt;br /&gt;Cook for 30 minutes, eventually spraying the filets with a dash of white wine after the first 20 mins.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-90015646818488594?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/90015646818488594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=90015646818488594&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/90015646818488594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/90015646818488594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/quick-recipe-salmon-trout-filets-with.html' title='A quick recipe: salmon trout filets with herbs and almonds'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmGlloHePiI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/8V6O7xv0NDA/s72-c/P5092817.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-6627013161179629079</id><published>2009-07-18T11:13:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-18T11:26:22.068+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pesce'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='erbe aromatiche'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trota'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ricette'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cucina'/><title type='text'>Una ricetta facile: filetti di trota agli aromi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmGglqAIsuI/AAAAAAAAAN4/nmy5mlva9C0/s1600-h/P5092816.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

or at the chronicles of the similarly fated Afghan-Soviet war, not only since Nato's military occupation of Afghanistan has time and again proved to be an unjust and brutal one and not only since the sham government presieded by former-Unocal-employee-turned-politician &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamid_Karzai"&gt;Hamid Karzai&lt;/a&gt; is an inefficient and corrupt one, more and more resented by the population it should rule on; all these facts do bolster and reinforce my belief, but its focal point, its main pillar is formed by the increasing evidence of the level of stupidity with which Nato is confronting its go at the revered 'Afghan game'.&lt;br /&gt;Crass cluelessness is one thing (already damning enough if you're trying to conduct a multinational military mission) but, it seems to me, that Nato is currently employing out-and-out stupidity in situations which should instead require extreme level-headedness and attention to details&lt;br /&gt;Since the very beginning of its central asiatic gamble Nato has made extensive use of pilotless "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_RQ-1_Predator"&gt;Predator&lt;/a&gt;" drones to stalk leaders and commanders of the opposing guerrilla movements...these machines, safely steered from remote locations, have launched hundreds if not thousands of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-114_Hellfire"&gt;Hellfire&lt;/a&gt; missile attacks, which resulted in the death of a handful of insurgent personalities, of numerous guerrilla fighters and of scores and scores of harmless civilians: women, elder people, children and infants.&lt;br /&gt;Now and then some "nosy" NGOs like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesty%20International"&gt;Amnesty International&lt;/a&gt; o &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_NGO"&gt;Emergency&lt;/a&gt; dared to make public the fact that such a strike policy brought along a huge cost in civilian lives, only to be rebuked by the heralds of western plutocratic democracy which the insurgents were to blame since those cowardly gits dared to "hide among civilians, using them as human shields!!".&lt;br /&gt;According to them our own safety and welfare could only be assured by keeping a constant rain on missiles on Waziri and Baluci families, thus bringing death to the guerrilla fighters hidden in their midst.&lt;br /&gt;I bet that Wehrmacht and SS officers like &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Kesselring"&gt;Kesselring&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kappler"&gt;Kappler&lt;/a&gt; would surely have agreed, after all they knew first-hand how hard occupation duty could be...all those partisans and resistants skulking in the Italian countryside, in that unsportsmanlike fashion!!! Forcing the III Reich troops to initiate those &lt;a href="http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Egduncan/massacres.html"&gt;tedious and fatiguing operations&lt;/a&gt; which often resulted in the necessity of "&lt;a href="http://revcom.us/a/027/vietnam-destroy-village.htm"&gt;destroying villages in order to save them&lt;/a&gt;", not to talk of the picked-up habit of Vietminh, Viet Cong and NVA troops to hide all along the Indochinese peninsula from the 50s to the mid-70s.&lt;br /&gt;Guerrilla inurgencies would be far shorter and tidier if insurgents would agree to congregate in plain view in some featureless mesa, possibily wearing gaudy clothes or bullseyes on their backs!&lt;br /&gt;How is a Predator drone summoned on its target? The champions of the advanced and superior western civilizations have devised the most ingenious way to do so...some eager and willing afghan have to get in the vicinity of the building where the cowardly islamic guerrillas are gathered and drop in its courtyard or on its roof an electronic beacon which, thanks to its regular and invisible emissions, will act as a guiding light for the pilotless avenger!&lt;br /&gt;Clearly the eager collaborationists are better motivated by monetary compensations in hard cash, of which a small amount is given in advance, along with the electronical beacons, and the jucier part delivered only after the 'hit' (provided the eager young one manages to evade the survivors' attentions and come back to claim the rest of the lolly).&lt;br /&gt;Here lies the point...according to the declaration of a willing Nato collaborator, who had the misfortune of encountering an insurgent band while on his way to collect the payment, the rule of thumb among beacon-planters is to disseminate as many as possible, minimizing the risks of being discovered or subjected to reprisal, which often amounts to dropping them on any house in any village where you don't have relatives into (or where you have and they have slighted you or your family for some reason in the past)...and then go back to the local Nato base swearing aloud that each and every pinpointed target was literally crawling with jihadi guerrillas, complete with hook noses, pointy beards, turbans and clutching scimitars not unlike the &lt;a href="http://www.comune.modena.it/museofigurina/salastampa/esposizione/img/01.jpg"&gt;Fierce Saladin&lt;/a&gt; portraied in a famous series of Italian 1930s-vintage collectible cards.&lt;br /&gt;"Hark! Islamist propaganda!" do cry the Nato-apologists...yet, with its perfectly perverse connection between greed and cowardice the above scenario feels not only perfectly plausible, but finds corroboration in the huge number of civilian casualties so far and in the fact that the armed resistance persists unabated, while if guerrilla were effectively hiding amongst and shielding themselves with civilians striking down so many of the latters should have resulted in considerably weakening the former...which so far has not been veriefied (on the contrary, the insurgents are now more numerous and active than before).&lt;br /&gt;If after years of drone strikes the fact that beacon planters have been scattering them at random among villages only to inflate their 'tally' -thus maximizing their profit from it- hasn't been fully appreciated by Nato officiers and commanders, at least not enough to warrant a change in their strike policy, the reason has to be ascribed to culpable superficiality and deep rooted stupidity, a stupidity almost surely interwined and reinforced by the racial and cultural prejudices of which this campaign is made-up of, along with its travesty as "humanitarian mission", "peacekeeping effort" and so on.&lt;br /&gt;Now, against asinine behaviour of such magnitude there is no escalation, surge or special operation which can remedy, Nato efforts in Afghanistan are probably doomed and the soonest they collapse the better will be for the civilian families who shall be freed from the menace of Predator drones striking wildly at their house to grant some afghan collaborationist his parcel of bloodstained dollars.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-6470159956123172416?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/6470159956123172416/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=6470159956123172416&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6470159956123172416'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6470159956123172416'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/role-of-stupidity-in-natos-afghan.html' title='The role of stupidity in Nato&apos;s Afghan enterprise'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmDlFXW50gI/AAAAAAAAANw/SNVry_6ocxs/s72-c/dirtywar.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-8779829316373349102</id><published>2009-07-17T22:55:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-18T00:22:24.162+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UAV'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guerriglia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tracciatori'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guerra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='insorgenti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bombardamento'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='avidità'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='collaborazionisti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drone Predator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hellfire'/><title type='text'>Il ruolo della stupidità nell'avventura NATO in Afghanistan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmDlFXW50gI/AAAAAAAAANw/SNVry_6ocxs/s1600-h/dirtywar.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

dal 1839 al 1919, o all'avventura Sovietica), non perché l'occupazione militare Nato sia ingiusta e brutale, non perché il governo presieduto dall'ex dipendente Unocal &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamid_Karzai"&gt;Hamid Karzai&lt;/a&gt; sia inefficiente, corrotto e inviso alla maggior parte della popolazione che dovrebbe controllare...tutte queste cose, si badi bene, hanno un peso nel formare e corroborare la mia convinzione, ma il sostegno principale, la chiave di volta del mio pensiero sta nella innegabile, profonda, asinina stupidità mostrata da coloro che tale occupazione dovrebbero dirigere e comandare.&lt;br /&gt;La stupidità, gente mia, è una cosa seria, mortalmente, tragicamente seria...la stupidità è qualcosa che non ha posto nell'ordine naturale delle cose, qualcosa che la Natura (per non dire la stessa Realtà) si preoccupa di castigare con la massima celerità e massima severità possibile.&lt;br /&gt;Fin dall'inizio dell'occupazione atlantica dell'Afghanistan le forze Nato hanno fatto uso dei droni senza pilota "&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_RQ-1_Predator"&gt;Predator&lt;/a&gt;" per dare la caccia a figure di rilievo della resistenza a loro avversa...queste macchine volanti, pilotate in modalità remota da qualche base sicura, si sono rese responsabili di centinaia di attacchi con missili &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-114_Hellfire"&gt;Hellfire&lt;/a&gt;, che hanno portato alla morte di pochi leader dell'insorgenza anti-occidentale, di numerosi combattenti e di moltissimi civili innocenti, donne, vecchi, bambini e bambine.&lt;br /&gt;Orbene, quando qualche ONG "ficcanaso" come &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesty%20International"&gt;Amnesty International&lt;/a&gt; o &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency"&gt;Emergency&lt;/a&gt; si azzardava a far notare l'enorme costo in vittime civili di tale politica di attacchi qual'era la pronta ribattuta dei bardi della democrazia plutocratica atlantica? Quale la soave risposta dei portavoce del potere tutti ansanti e impegnati nello spiegare a noi, popolo incolto, quanto fondamentale, essenziale, irrinunciabile per il nostro benessere e la nostra sicurezza fosse il continuo grandinìo di esplosivi più o meno intelligenti sulle indifese famiglie Wazire o Baluci?&lt;br /&gt;"E' colpa dei talebani (così l'alleanza preferisce continuare a chiamare gli insorti che le si oppongono, nonostante ormai degli originari studenti coranici che aveva affrontato nel 2001 non rimanga quasi più traccia) che vigliaccamente si nascondono fra la popolazione".&lt;br /&gt;Certamente, anche le SS di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Kesselring"&gt;Kesselring&lt;/a&gt; e &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kappler"&gt;Kappler&lt;/a&gt; durante il 1943-45 avrebbero preferito che i partigiani del &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLN"&gt;CLN&lt;/a&gt; e del CLNAI la piantassero di scorrazzare fra i borghi e i villaggi delle colline e delle campagne italiane, costringendo le truppe del III Reich a quei &lt;a href="http://www.storiaxxisecolo.it/resistenza/resistenza13.html"&gt;tediosi e stressanti rastrellamenti&lt;/a&gt; che spesso rivelavano la necessità di "&lt;a href="http://revcom.us/a/027/vietnam-destroy-village.htm"&gt;distruggere i villaggi per salvarli&lt;/a&gt;", per non parlare della antipatica e in fondo in fondo davvero sleale tendenza di Vietminh, Viet Cong e delle truppe dell'NVA di fare un po' la stessa cosa su e giù per l'Indocina dagli anni'50 alla metà dei '70.&lt;br /&gt;Le guerriglie sarebbero molto più brevi e pulite se i guerriglieri se ne stessero in bella vista in qualche landa deserta, preferibilmente indossando bersagli in testa o indumenti vistosi...ma torniamo a parlare dell'Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;Per richiamare un drone Predator sul suo bersaglio come si fa? Bastano forse le spiate di qualche volenteroso collaborazionista Nato? No signore e signori, i rappresentanti della superiore e avanzata "civiltà occidentale" sono molto al di là di quello stadio...i volenterosi collaborazionisti non hanno che da lanciare sopra o vicino alla casa o all'edificio "incriminato" dove si sa che si nascondo i perfidi e vigliacchi guerriglieri islamici un tracciatore, non più grande di un pacchetto di sigarette (tanto che spesso viene proprio occultato in quel modo) il quale, con le sue continue e precise emissioni invisibili richiama sull'ignaro obiettivo il vendicatore telecomandato!&lt;br /&gt;Chiaramente i volenterosi collaborazionisti sono più motivati a compiere la loro meritoria opera da un qualche emolumento di valuta, dollaroni o sterline, rateizzato in un anticipo al ricevimento del tracciatore e il grosso della somma a bombardamento avvenuto (se il volenteroso riesce a ritornare senza essersi fatto scoprire prima).&lt;br /&gt;Ecco il punto: secondo quanto dichiarato da un volenteroso disgraziatamente caduto in mano a quelli che voleva omaggiare con la visitina di un drone e dei suoi missili i collaborazionisti Nato sono TANTO ansiosi di mettere le manine sui soldini promessigli dagli invasori che non si preoccupano più di tanto di dove buttano i traccianti, a loro basta andare in un villaggio in cui non abbiano parenti (bombardare tuo cugino non sta molto bene...a meno che lui non ti abbia fatto qualcosa) o dove abbiano qualche conto da regolare e buttare qua e là traccianti come fossero mazzolini di rose, per poi tornare alla base dopo gli attacchi, rivendicando il fatto che ogni obiettivo indicato pressappoco brulicasse di jihadisti, coi nasoni ricurvi, le barbone a punta e forse forse 'anco' con le scimitarre in mano come il &lt;a href="http://www.comune.modena.it/museofigurina/salastampa/esposizione/img/01.jpg"&gt;feroce saladino&lt;/a&gt; delle figurine del torrone.&lt;br /&gt;"Propaganda islamista!" tuonano i difensori d'ufficio della Nato...peccato che, col suo intrico perfettamente perverso di cupidigia e vigliaccheria, tale versione dei fatti sia confermata e substanziata anche dall'enorme numero di vittime civili di raid Predator e dalla continuata esistenza della resistenza Afghana alla Nato.&lt;br /&gt;E' chiaro che se in anni e anni di raid e bombardamenti a distanza gli ufficiali e i comandanti della Nato non si sono resi conto che coloro che mandavano a tracciare i bersagli li moltiplicavano a bella posta per massimizzare il loro guadagno il motivo può essere uno solo: stupidità, congenita e ottusa stupidità, che certamente è radicata e rafforzata dai pregiudizi ideologici e razzisti di questa spedizione Afghana travestita da "missione umanitaria" e "lotta al fondamentalismo"; ora, contro una simile scioccheria non c'è "surge" o rastrellamento, o operazione speciale o escalation che tenga, la Nato in Afghanistan è destinata a perdere e prima sarà meglio sarà, soprattutto per i civili che non si vedranno più arrivare missili in giardino (in senso di marcia opposto a quelli del &lt;a href="http://italian.imdb.com/title/tt0052117/"&gt;film di Leo Mc Carey&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-8779829316373349102?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/8779829316373349102/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=8779829316373349102&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/8779829316373349102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/8779829316373349102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/il-ruolo-della-stupidita-nellavventura.html' title='Il ruolo della stupidità nell&apos;avventura NATO in Afghanistan'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmDlFXW50gI/AAAAAAAAANw/SNVry_6ocxs/s72-c/dirtywar.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-6737530651437214241</id><published>2009-07-17T15:55:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-17T16:18:56.712+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='biology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Solomon Islands'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='monarchids'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Galapgos Islands'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charles Darwin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='speciation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ornithology'/><title type='text'>Speciation in Action!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmB8qCgnjYI/AAAAAAAAANg/MsNXwZAV6cI/s1600-h/speciationinaction.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

process.&lt;br /&gt;The first bird, the one sporting brick read throat and breast and dark bluish head and back, inhabiting the main island of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makira-Ulawa_Province"&gt;Makira-Ulawa&lt;/a&gt;  probably represents the former standard of the population; the second, dwelling on the surrounding islets and atolls, has changed its plumage to a less vivid standard and, yet, until some generations ago mantained a near-identical genetic makeup, being even able to interbreed with the birds of the former group.&lt;br /&gt;According to Uy's painstaking studies, this is no longer the case: a final divergence in their respective DNAs, located in a single gene, has created an impassable barrier between the two populations, a barrier of such strenght that male of the two groups no longer attack their "relatives" who happen to trespass in their territories, showing how they no longer percieve their presence as possible mating rivals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciazione"&gt;Speciation&lt;/a&gt; is one of the cornerstones of &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution"&gt;Evolution theory&lt;/a&gt; and was postulated by &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin"&gt;Darwin&lt;/a&gt; himself thanks to his observations of the different families of sparrows living on the different &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galapagos"&gt;Galapagos Islands&lt;/a&gt;, where each one had adapted itself to the habitat and food, notably modifying themselves, yet mantaining commonality in those traits not touched by evolutive pressure.&lt;br /&gt;One can wonder if, adequately divulged, this discovery could have any effect on the minds of those who, in full-fledged 21st century, disdain the very concept of evolution, in order to mantain their worldview informed on prejudices and myths derived from archaic cults of semite nomadic populations. I strongly doubt that, since, people inured to remain deaf and blind in front of a thousand scientific proofs of evolution can well withstand one more...still, wishing that at least some (or even a single one) in that crowd would be rescued from their (or his) state of self-inflicted ignorance by Ablert Uy's work doesn't cost anything, right?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-6737530651437214241?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/6737530651437214241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=6737530651437214241&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6737530651437214241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6737530651437214241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/speciation-in-action.html' title='Speciation in Action!!'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmB8qCgnjYI/AAAAAAAAANg/MsNXwZAV6cI/s72-c/speciationinaction.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-6143892501481934393</id><published>2009-07-17T14:27:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-18T00:59:34.506+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='speciazione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Charles Darwin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='isole Salomone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='isole Galapagos'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='biologia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evoluzione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='monarchidi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ornitologia'/><title type='text'>Speciazione in azione!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmB8qCgnjYI/AAAAAAAAANg/MsNXwZAV6cI/s1600-h/speciationinaction.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

sono una famiglia di uccelli passeracei arboricoli e insettivori che vivono in un'ampia serie di habitat che vanno dall'Africa subsahariana alle &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isole_Marchesi"&gt;Isole Marchesi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Fra tutte le loro sottospecie le due che vedete raffigurate in foto, il &lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="SmallDate"&gt;Monarcha castaneiventris megarhynchus &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="SmallDate"&gt;(a sx)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="SmallDate"&gt; e il &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="SmallDate"&gt;Monarcha castaneiventris ugiensis &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="SmallDate"&gt;(dx) hanno suscitato l'interesse di &lt;/span&gt;Albert Uy, ricercatore dell'&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syracuse_University"&gt;università di Syracuse&lt;/a&gt; in quanto perfetto esempio di individui in origine appartenenti a una stessa popolazione che stanno attraversando un processo di &lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciazione"&gt;speciazione&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Il primo passeraceo, quello con petto e gola rossicci e dorso e capo bluastro, abita sull'isola di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makira-Ulawa"&gt;Makira-Ulawa&lt;/a&gt; e rappresenta probabilmente la popolazione originaria: il secondo, presente sugli atolli e isolotti circonvicini, aveva mutato il piumaggio in una tinta molto meno appariscente ma, fino a poche generazioni orsono, manteneva un corredo genetico pressoché identico a quello dei propri "parenti" di Makira, tanto da riuscire ad ibridarsi con essi.&lt;br /&gt;Secondo gli studi di Uy, questo ormai non è più il caso: un ultimo, definitivo mutamento, localizzato pare in un solo gene, ha eretto una insormontabile barriera fra i due tipi di pennuti tanto che, da esperimenti condotti in loco, risulta che i maschi delle due sottospecie non affrontino più i "cugini" che si trovino ad attraversare il loro 'territorio', segno che anche a livello istintivo non li considerino più rivali per la procreazione.&lt;br /&gt;La &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciazione"&gt;speciazione&lt;/a&gt; è uno dei cardini della &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evoluzione"&gt;teoria evoluzionistica&lt;/a&gt; e venne postulata dallo stesso &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin"&gt;Darwin&lt;/a&gt; proprio grazie alle sue osservazioni sulle varie famiglie di fringuelli che abitavano le diverse &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galapagos"&gt;isole Galapagos&lt;/a&gt;, ciascuna adattatasi all'ambiente e al cibo locale da essersi "speciate" in forme anche molto differenti fra loro, pur mantenendo simili altre loro caratteristiche.&lt;br /&gt;C'è da chiedersi se, adeguatamente divulgata, la notizia potrebbe sortire qualche effetto sulle menti di coloro che, nel ventunesimo secolo, si ostinano a mantenere viva una preconcetta e ideologica ostilità al concetto stesso di evoluzione, sulla scorta di pregiudizi religiosi risalenti a culti arcaici di popolazioni nomadi semite. Non c'è molto da sperarci, visto che chi riesce a sigillare la propria mente a mille e passa prove scientifiche dell'evoluzione riuscirà probabilmente a sbarrare il passo anche alle milleunesima, ma, ad ogni modo, augurarsi che almeno qualcuno di quella folla possa uscire dal proprio autoinflitto stato di minorità non costa niente. Giusto??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciazione"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-6143892501481934393?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/6143892501481934393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=6143892501481934393&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6143892501481934393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6143892501481934393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/speciazione-in-azione.html' title='Speciazione in azione!!'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/SmB8qCgnjYI/AAAAAAAAANg/MsNXwZAV6cI/s72-c/speciationinaction.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-3266132182521689204</id><published>2009-07-16T02:17:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-16T15:31:32.911+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Guido Rampoldi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='propaganda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conneries'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emergency'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Unocal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journalism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gino Strada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karzai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clash of civilizations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rape'/><title type='text'>Guido Rampoldi is a Moron!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sl5z50ztnNI/AAAAAAAAANY/gmdxERqb2Hc/s1600-h/guido+rampoldi+cretino.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I am always happy when I see a past judgment on some person confirmed by new facts of statements and i warmly thank Guido Rampoldi of not having let me down.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-3266132182521689204?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/3266132182521689204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=3266132182521689204&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/3266132182521689204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/3266132182521689204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/guido-rampoldi-is-moron.html' title='Guido Rampoldi is a Moron!'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sl5z50ztnNI/AAAAAAAAANY/gmdxERqb2Hc/s72-c/guido+rampoldi+cretino.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307163557579944531.post-6346971326417950003</id><published>2009-07-16T01:24:00.008+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-16T15:32:10.745+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Guido Rampoldi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giornalismo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='propaganda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nato'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Emergency'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Unocal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stupro'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cretinate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scontro di civiltà'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='guerra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gino Strada'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karzai'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Repubblica'/><title type='text'>Guido Rampoldi è un cretino</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sl5z50ztnNI/AAAAAAAAANY/gmdxERqb2Hc/s1600-h/guido+rampoldi+cretino.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Eppure quella scommessa tuttora è l'unica possibile, non fosse altro perché l'alternativa (il ritiro) comporterebbe prezzi spaventosi. Per l'Afghanistan, per la stabilità dell'area, per l'Alleanza atlantica, la cui residua credibilità svanirebbe. E, perché dimenticarle?, per le ragazze afgane, la cui unica speranza di liberazione coincide con il pieno successo della Nato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sì, avete letto bene, ma, nel caso vi ballino gli occhi per l'incredulità è meglio ripetere&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;E, perché dimenticarle?, per le ragazze afgane, la cui unica speranza di liberazione coincide con il pieno successo della Nato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'ex dipendente Unocal diventato presidente &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamid_Karzai"&gt;Hamid Karzai&lt;/a&gt; solo avantieri ha maldestramente corretto una legge vergognosa che autorizzava i mariti afghani a picchiare le proprie mogli se queste si rifiutavano di fare sesso con loro almeno una volta ogni quattro giorni e limitava la loro libertà di uscire di casa richiedendo per tale evento il consenso maritale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guido Rampoldi si era già ampiamente segnalato come CRETINO con &lt;a href="http://kelebek.splinder.com/post/8302026/Voci+di+una+superiore+civilt%C3%A0"&gt;articoli&lt;/a&gt; che accusavano l'associazione &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency"&gt;Emergency&lt;/a&gt; di curare "un po' chi capitava" in zona di guerra (quindi anche possibili resistenti all'occupazione militare atlantica), fa piacere vedere confermati i propri giudizi sulle persone, quindi lo ringrazio di non avermi smentito né deluso.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2307163557579944531-6346971326417950003?l=valusianvision.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/feeds/6346971326417950003/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2307163557579944531&amp;postID=6346971326417950003&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6346971326417950003'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2307163557579944531/posts/default/6346971326417950003'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valusianvision.blogspot.com/2009/07/guido-rampoldi-e-un-cretino.html' title='Guido Rampoldi è un cretino'/><author><name>Kull</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05098899672543605615</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/RsC1IsSQxQI/AAAAAAAAAGk/F80wXnwaUQs/s320/Me+w-+Cigar.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8uHWOCX-VUg/Sl5z50ztnNI/AAAAAAAAANY/gmdxERqb2Hc/s72-c/guido+rampoldi+cretino.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
