Blocked Nose Funny Voice

Homelessness - Senzaletto


When the evening I put in my nice cozy bed, I feel bliss and gratitude. The duvet covers me with a soft warmth, hot water bottle: my security blanket. I turn around finding the right position to wait for sleep. Mando airwaves thanks to my bed, accompanied by a long thought to all my loved ones scattered here and there. But invariably I see in a flash all people sleeping on the streets in this neighborhood, in the cold. Because I have a bed, a house and they do not? Away with these thoughts, I already have full day's head. I fall asleep, but sometimes I stay awake for long.
In the neighborhood where I lived before you could not see these poor abandoned by humans and gods. Through the media I was aware, I felt sorrow of others but these problems were added to the countless other personal problems, national and international. The suffering of humanity and the animal world has no limits. This district Esquilino I see with my own eyes so many people unhappy. Men at night they sleep on pieces of cardboard in some porch of a church building, on park benches, the floor under the arcades of Piazza Vittorio, leaning against the shutters of a shop. Not only men, even women. It happens that the volunteers give them a blanket, but this is considered a gesture somewhat hypocritical, because away for their own needs, to ask for alms, or who knows, the blankets are lost: there is a storeroom where to store the next night. And so there are more than the men also abandoned the covers. Many of these clochards are given to drink. With handouts gleaned buy beer and wine. Drinking dampen the sense of hunger and the sense of their unfortunate existence. In the streets I see them sitting on the steps, with their faces red and swollen, often in groups of three or four, as to console, speaking the same language and experiencing the same condition. I know from books on vitamins years ago I brought from Canada, that when an addict is drinking well fed and are given vitamin and mineral supplements in large quantities, the desire disappears completely alcohol because alcohol is very often a sign of malnutrition (Abram Hoffer, MD and Andrew Saul, "The Vitamin Cure for Alcoholism - Orthomolecular Treatment of Addictions").
I feel empathy and impotence. To which god to go for help?

Herpie Bumps On Chest

Piazza Vittorio (Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II )

As I often do when the weather is nice, so today, I have to go to market through the gardens of Piazza Vittorio. In the beautiful avenues I see many people sitting on benches enjoying the sunshine. Many Italians, male and female, in the age of retirement, here are a meeting place. Relaxed chat. The women often have to close if the bag spending. Many dogs walk with their owners. Dogs also meet with their friends in a corner reserved for them. Then, lying in the grass or leaning on benches, sitting on the steps, many non-absorbing heat after perhaps a night in the cold. The daisies have multiplied and have spread wherever there is grass to receive them. Large birds blacks, pigeons and sparrows looking for some crumbs of bread eaters. I hope that the tall palm trees are not sick. I hear that many trees are cut down because in Rome suffering from a disease. There is no remedy to cure them?
Port alchemical

at Via Carlo Alberto is a heap of ruins surrounded by a high gate that protects not only the remains of a magnificent fountain of imperial (Trophies Mario), but also a small colony of cats and beautiful Paciosi. Then there is the Porta Magica or alchemy that is the entrance to Villa Palombara, residence of the Marquis Massimo Palombara Pietroforte, one of the most famous alchemists of the seventeenth century. This door is guarded by two statues of the Egyptian god Bes. The pediment is supported by a lintel of the door jamb and cabalistic and astrological symbols are engraved probably related to the Rosicrucians of the seventeenth century. Overall the garden is large and pleasant, surrounded by buildings with wide porches as a period style. The square was designed by Gaetano Koch shortly after the transfer of the capital of Italy from Florence to Rome in 1871 and is the largest square in Rome (316x174 m) with nearly 10,000 square meters in the Piazza San Pietro. In the opposite corner of the garden is a children's playground with some swings, two slides etc. The carousel is adjacent to the payment. Gazebo side, during the summer holidays, children can draw and do work manuali con l'aiuto di studenti volontari. Le strutture moderne, masse di cemento inutili stonano, sono fuori posto. Questa opinione non è solo mia.  Uno studente di architettura, nel gazebo, stava facendo un progetto per modificare l'aspetto del giardino sostituendo i cementifici con costruzioni funzionanti e accattivanti. Suo proposito era di presentarlo al comune. L'avrà fatto? L'avranno accettato?

Is There Any Games Like Fantage?

the Flaminia birba

Flaminia two years and nine months

I've had more photos with commentary by Sigrid Flaminia: it is a rascal. Almost every day Sigrid keeps me informed of their life in Haarlem and tells me the vibrancy of Flaminia, which live on silver. It 's all different from her sister. Livia is a dreamer, it is prudent, respects his toys and his books, do not ever break them. Alone or with girlfriends can sit and draw for a long time, wholly absorbed in the stories that makes the paper. Especially with a girlfriend Rioch invent imaginative games in which both are immersed body and soul, and that would never end. In a new place and with people who do not know or know little about, it takes a while before that Livia is melted and not play games with other children. But it is getting better and better, lets go more easily. Is another step forward is that the thumb sucking more.
Flaminia? It 's all physicality. It 's always in motion, must vent all his energy and natural exuberance. With the birthday cake candles remained preserved in a box, Livia tells us, invented a game. Flaminia also like the look carefully and then breaks one at a time, enjoying the sound of the "crash". She also loves watching the books but does so with so much momentum that often tear a few pages, and then we glue. One can see that it does not appear, is that little chap is a strongman. He never sucked his thumb nor Succetti. Does not draw but scribbles, end up doing paper and paints scattered on the ground. With Livia and her little friends is often a nuisance: undo what they have put up with some effort. Now sometimes they are also home for asylum Flaminia buddies to play with. It is not timid at all, wherever you throw the toy immediately and take part in the games. The love the cuddles and gives lots of kisses to mom, dad and sister. Sigrid says: "Eat of kissing Livia and Flaminia." She lies on the ground and immediately Flaminia is upon her to pamper each other. Livia is also running for participate. Kevin is a playful rolling around on the floor with them in a game that had the two girls would not end. I enjoy so much watching this beautiful little family.
It 's a fact that in their diversity, complement and Flaminia Livia. A little while ago an anthroposophic clinic in their neighborhood had a day of "Open Doors" to make themselves known to the parents concerned. Sigrid we went.
A doctor led the conference and answered questions. One of the parents wanted to know her because her second child was so different from the first-born. The doctor explained that he had chosen the first child to be born as the firstborn, and had participated in some way to choose the new brother, its completion. Sigrid had been very excited by these words because it's true: Livia Flaminia and complement each other.
There are people looking at the girls or their pictures, saying "she looks like her mom and dad or an uncle or other uncle." Once you were in Rome called the Sigrid children because the dinner was ready on the table. Flaminia said: "Yes, this Livia" and took under his arm a small framed photograph of a child Sigrid signaling the start of the kitchen to eat. For her, that picture represented Livia. In just over three months Flaminia will turn three years. I'll look if I find a picture of David, Sigrid, Jan and Livia at that age: a photo gallery.

Sigrid three years and ten months. Here's a picture that represents the second Flaminia Livia.
Jan
three years
David two and a half
Livia three years

Rudolf Steiner and Marie Steiner von Sivers Bologna

known as a man of German Culture has recently stated:
"You may be wondering why Rudolf Steiner, who has developed a world view of this great complexity, remained alien to academic culture in general and the Culture Journal of the last century. They have almost completely excluded from their vision, their research, their knowledge.
In the reality of everyday life, grafted on his thinking and his work founding, hundreds and hundreds of schools were created throughout the world, from America to China, Norway, South Africa. Impulses for knowledge and the health of Earth and Man have raised and expand the world of agriculture and food biodynamic and organic. So the medicine and anthroposophic medicines, knowledge, love and practice of the Arts in the formation of fundamental and understanding of human history. That happened in all areas of cultural and spiritual life. Rudolf Steiner
Yet, officially, has been almost totally ignored is time to shield it from the mere identification with the Anthroposophical Society for it to become shareholders of all humanity.

Rudolf Steiner through the book "My Life" tells us that Anthroposophy and Science Spirit was brought to Bologna from the beginning of 1900 by Marie von Sivers, personalities of the Anthroposophical Movement and his co-worker. It was then
Marie von Sivers, then Marie Steiner, who led for the first time in Bologna, Italy and probably in the Culture of Science of the Spirit. Then in 1911, Rudolf Steiner was invited to the IV International Congress of Philosophy, where, at the University of Bologna, delivered lectures on the ego.
the centenary of its participation at this Congress will be held the International Conference "In Search of the ego - Rudolf Steiner and Contemporary Culture," from March 31-April 2 to 3 all'l the year 2011.
The conference will be a great artistic and cultural event which will converge in Bologna participants from across Europe and around the World with the involvement of the entire City and its citizens, and University Students.
