Can You Get Skin Cancer In Your Armpit?

The House in the Woods and the Lucano Apennine

Between the mountains and woods of Lucan, I found a place to put it mildly strange and fascinating . The House in the woods , I saw his profile FB (# casanelbosco ) and Twitter (# lacasanelbosco ). I looked at the photos through Flickr ; picture Indeed, the Park and place.
Honestly I would recommend such a place a few miles, about 15, from the city of Potenza, but so far from the modern world and for that submoderno intimacy and spatially immersive nature that you breathe in this environment.

Return the risk of "hazardous waste landfill Europe's largest"

seems an old refrain of music that sometimes comes back. But if you decide whether to continue to listen or just turn off, change stations or change tracks. In this situation you are forced to stand by and watch, a bit like the movie A Clockwork Orange, when Alex one of the "bad boys" has become part of a rehabilitation therapy and was forced to listen to Beethoven and see the images that ran on the video. Well! more or less so, with the only difference that we can turn the eyes away and raise the consciousness.
After this introduction post here an article that circulates in the network on the most hazardous waste dump largest in Europe, which will be located, with the approval of many, regardless of race, gender, faith, etc.. in the town of Ferrandina.




Coming the hazardous waste dump Europe's largest
Sometimes they come back. Was out for months more. It seemed a danger averted. And, instead, in total silence of local institutions, the hazardous waste dump proposed by Basento Environment, by decree of 22 April 2010, he obtained a favorable opinion from the Ministry of Environment and environmental protection of land and sea, concert with the Ministry of Heritage and Culture. Where? Obviously in places Venita, the 'Eldorado "the business of disposing of waste. The news are binding the Environment and Legality Ola (Organization lucanaambientalista) that less than a week ago, had recorded a video with all stages of the "tour of rubbish" by a Casalena Venita: five landfills in just twenty kilometers immersed in the ravines and dotted with wild vegetation and scented broom.






DIMENSIONS - But back to the draft Basento Environment. The landfill of hazardous waste (formerly 2C) will cover a superficieiniziale of 47,000 square meters with a storage volume of 316,740 cubic meters, divided in 40,000 cubic meters per year for eight years.


WHAT dispose '- The mega facility can accommodate all types of hazardous waste. For example, they will be disposed of: waste oil refining and natural gas purification, wastes from organic chemical processes and inorganic wastes from the manufacture, formulation, supply and use of coatings (paints, varnishes, enamels); wastes from thermal processes ; wastes from chemical treatment and coating of metals and other materials, waste products from shaping and physical and mechanical treatment of metals and plastics, oil wastes and wastes of liquid fuels, organic solvents, refrigerants and propellants; wastes from animal health care and or related research activities, waste products from plants treatment of waste treatment plants acquere flue off-site, etc.. etc. .. It is not enough. "In fact, as well as the types of waste specifically mentioned in the list of waste that can be collected from the landfill in question - report Ola legal environment - the decree provides that they can be disposed of as" wastes not otherwise specified in the list, "the which means, practically, There will be disposed of absolutely everything. The decree of the Ministry, also provides that to be the Basilicata region to assess the coherence of the system with the real needs of regional waste. "


COMPANY '- "Surroundings Basento" belongs to the Iula Group, which owns 20% ownership of the Company IEA (jointly held by the multinational Veolia) who has recently given the green light for the construction of a biomass power plant ('an incinerator in disguise, "continue to support environmental organizations) right next to the hazardous waste dump has just been approved by the Ministry. And 'good Veolia is also noted that the co-owner, along with group companies Sum of Technopark Pisticci, which also provides for the treatment of waste.


ITER - the mega landfill begins to speak in the summer of 2005. A project to learn of the existence and the characteristics of the public notice published, as required by law, a local newspaper at startup of the process to obtain the Environmental Impact Assessment, submitted direttamenteal Ministry of Environment. To stop the landfill will not be able to even over a thousand signatures collected by the city committee, arose spontaneously sub pages to say no to the cemetery of hazardous waste tra i calanchi di Venita. Il 17 marzo 2008 la Commissione di verifica dell'impatto ambientale Via e Vas del ministero dell'Ambiente, esprime parere favorevole al progetto della megadiscarica di rifiuti pericolosi presentato dalla“Basento Ambiente”, dando atto, fra l'altro, che il Comune di Ferrandina, con una nota trasmessa a termine scaduto per l'invio di osservazioni, aveva espresso la propria contrarietà alla realizzazione della discarica pur senza tuttavia supportare tale parere contrario con documentazione o notazioni tecniche di carattere ambientale. Da allora, dal marzo del 2008, esclusivamente l'associazione“Ambiente e Legalità”di Ferrandina, con l'adesione della Ola, ha lottato strenuamente per evitare un annunciato environmental disaster. Indeed, it has repeatedly encouraged the public and local politicians to investigate the problem and to make common cause.


THE NOTICE - To protect the land and environment and public health law has always sent to all parties concerned an act of formal notice and has come even to make a complaint at the public prosecutor of Rome ( Dr. Cocomello). Complaint, the association notes, "that the state is curiously still registered against unknown persons, and only for the offense of abuse of office, despite being denounced the crime of forgery." As a result of the insistence of the "Environment and Legality ", the Commission Via e Vas Environment Ministry was forced - as if to" strengthen "its first opinion, issued a year earlier, to issue a further opinion, the No 254 of 27.03.2009, on which it based the decision of the Ministry Decree of 22 April, available on the website of the Ministry-VIA-decrees.


THE BATTLE CONTINUES - If it were not for the warm and heartfelt participation of the population of Ferrandina, who has participated in numerous subscription against the hazardous waste dump Europe's largest, certainly the last day , and only, defense against the aggression of territory Ferrandina, namely the Association of Environment and Legality ", he would surrender in the face of many difficulties that comes in at the local and national. "Of course it is - the association does know-that this battle, undertaken to protect the environment and the rule of law, can not and should not diminish in the face of a decision of the Ministry of Environment, which are considered technically and legally incorrect. For these reasons, the association and the Environment and Legality Ola, promote initiatives aimed at collecting signatures and funds, to face, as permitted by democracy and the rule of law, this is believed to be the worst disaster that the territory Communities Ferrandina, Pisticci Pomarico and Cracow, and the health of these populations, has faced over the past centuries.

Sant ' Antuono masks, sound, fire e. .. pork


January 17 is the feast dedicated to Saint Anthony , better known as Sant'Antuono, holy particularly revered in the past. He died Jan. 17 in an Egypt where he was born and lived. The year was 356 and he had one hundred and six years. In life he abandoned the family and distributed the goods to devote himself to contemplation in the sand desert and live a life of prayer, poverty and chastity. It 'was the founder of monasticism and the first of the abbots and spiritual father (abba). His figure of the hermit saint and powerful healer spread rapidly in East and subsequently in the West, where it was invoked as the patron saint of butchers and pork butchers, farmers and breeders, and above all protector of animals
home. In the past each stall or shelter for animals had a holy card with the image of the saint to protect the site. Legend has it that on the night of the stables Sant'Antuono animals spoke, describing the defects and vices of their masters, complaining of the violence and mistreatment during the year. Widespread ebbe l’Ordine

di Sant’Antonio cui compito era, tra l’altro, curare i malati afflitti dall’herpes zoster conosciuto come il “fuoco di Sant’Antonio” . La dedizione ai malati degli Antoniani col tempo fu però offuscata da interessi poco evangelici che condussero l’ordine al declino e al decadimento fino all’ assorbimento nell’Ordine dei Cavalieri di Malta . Ma la figura e l’importanza del santo, presso il mondo agropastorale e popolare, non hanno mai avuto riserve. Il suo valore aumentava con l’aumento del bestiame e della pratica dell’allevamento. Uso comune in molti comuni lucani era di benedire gli animali all’alba del 17 January in front of churches. On this day, dedicated to Sant'Antuono and kill the pig, an event that required an important date. The pig was an animal central to the family economy, it drew a lot, and nothing was lost from the blood used to make cakes to the skin, feet and intestines, cooked in various ways according to local practice. The figure of the pig, the Christian symbol of greed, and filth of the devil is actually linked to the saint for its healing abilities. The Antonians had obtained permission to raise these animals in residential areas because of their fat was used to anoint the sick suffering from shingles. The pigs were nutriti a spese della comunità e circolavano liberamente nel paese con al collo una campanella. In molti centri ,al tramonto, si accendeva un grosso falò come buon augurio per il nuovo anno. Ma oggi , il giorno di Sant’Antuono si danno inizio ai festeggiamenti del carnevale. Infatti si dice: “Sant’Antuon maschere e suon”. Molti i centri della Basilicata e soprattutto della provincia di Matera all’alba del 17 si svegliano con i riti del carnevale. Tricarico , con le prime luci del giorno, è ravvivata dal suono dei campanacci agitati, dal rumoreggiare dei figuranti vestisti con maschere di mucche e i tori che, dopo essersi radunate nel centro storico, si dirigono verso la chiesa di Sant'Antonio abate. Qui il parroco celebra la messa, aperta anche agli animali, e al termine impartisce la benedizione agli animali. Dopo aver compiuto i rituali tre giri attorno alla chiesa, comportandosi come una mandria, nei modi e nel frastuono, si dirigono verso il centro a simboleggiare la transumanza.

How To Repair Fried Hair

Petra, the many faces carved into the rock, largely attributable to the tombs, make it a unique monument.

Petra is a city located about 250 km south of Amman, the capital of Jordan, in a basin among the mountains to the east of Wadi Araba, the great valley extending from the Sea Dead to the Gulf of Aqaba. His name was Reqem Semitic or Raqmu (the 'Colorful'), attested in the Qumran manuscripts.

was a city in ancient Edomite and then became the capital of the Nabataeans. Around the eighth century was abandoned after the fall of trade and natural disasters, and although the ancient caves housed Bedouin families have until recent years was in a sense forgotten until then modern. The archaeological site was revealed to the Western world by the Swiss Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812.

The many facades carved into the rock, largely attributable to the tombs, make it a unique monument, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO December 6, 1985. The surrounding area is from 1993 National Archaeological Park. In 2007, moreover, Petra was declared one of the so-called seven wonders of the modern world.

Petra is located halfway between the Gulf of Aqaba and the Dead Sea, at an altitude between 800 and 1396 meters above sea level (the urban area is located around 900 m) in the mountainous region of Edom to the east of Wadi Arab, about 3 hours drive from Amman.

The location and availability of water made it a place conducive to the development and prosperity of a city. The site is accessible only from the north-west, a narrow mountain path, and east through a canyon about 1.5 km long and up to 200 meters deep, the Siq, which housed the main access road.


Tombs of Petra were carved gullies and rocky sides of mountains, while the urban area, due to lack of vegetation, is characterized by a large outcrop of rocks of the collapse of the elevations of the buildings, so rock stones are visible in each point.

The funeral constructions are largely derived nell'arenaria polychrome Paleozoic age (delta deposit Cambrian / Ordovician - Forms of Umm Ishrin Sandstone), a sedimentary rock produced by the sedimentation and accumulation of small grains of sand. The result of this process is a rock consistent and durable, yet easy to dig, organized in layers or banks.

A particular feature of these sandstones is the change in color, with shades from yellow ocher to fiery red to white, due to different concentrations of oxides during the long process of consolidation. These spectacular color changes are particularly visible on the ceiling of Many tombs of Petra.


Around Petra are also rocks containing silica, which the Nabataeans exploited to produce a waterproof cement. The entrance of the city is an ancient river bed, a deep gorge cut in the high sandstone cliffs that was turned into a trench road elsewhere by diverting the stream.

The area of \u200b\u200bPetra is very close to the system-Dead Sea Jordan Valley, characterized by intense tectonic activity, with kinematic processing transtensive left, related to separation (rift) between Arabian and African plates. On 19 May 363, and again in 419, 551 and 747 earthquakes that took place damaged the city and its monuments.

still see installations designed to collect and distribute the water over and above the steep slopes of the soil, particularly dams and tanks in the open. For the collection there was also a major network of underground tanks. To the northeast and southeast of Petra, the Siq waters flowed in tunnels dug into the rock and plastered with waterproof plaster, or a supply water on a gentle slope, made of terracotta pipes or ceramic. This network supplied the aqueduct, 200 tanks (many of which were located on Mount Umm al-Beira, which means "Mother of the tanks), catch basins and a nymph, who was a fountain public part of the tanks, even reusing older structures, however, can be attributed to later periods in urban areas. Another network, a much larger scale allowed to pick up water sources and more distant neighborhoods to supply higher. All of these water systems led to Petra about 40 million gallons of water per day.

From a technological standpoint, the water distribution system in Petra has been compared to that of Rome the same time, and it was certainly enough to cover the needs of the city. Were actually the Romans who used the water network as a system of military pressure, cutting the aqueduct at of a siege, just as it did centuries later - in revenge for the story - to their city for work Vitige.

The result of this control was the creation of water resources at the time of an artificial oasis, the installation of which only ruins remain today.
