Shelves.
This area is a collector of various things. As a library where there are many various kinds of titles, even here I want to insert thoughts, perhaps pseudo poems, reflections and comments on current news and more. in short, a place to store things without a specific order.

I AM A SHEEP LAME.
I am a lame sheep
I do not have paws and claws of a Cheetah
I am a lame sheep
I do not have wings and an the eye of a Eagle
I am a lame sheep
I do not have the roar and the strength of a Lion
I am a lame sheep
I do not have the poison and a forked tongue of the Snake
I am a lame sheep.
Vincenzo Puccio
If we could reduce friction would be a great achievement.
To overcome the friction power is needed to produce the efforts to overcome the frictional forces and create movement.
The human body needs energy to move around, the cars need fuel to move around, we need of the thrust of the water or the wind or the sun's energy or even uranium or oil or coal for create energy. If the friction were reduced the energy required to create movement would be reduced to the advantage of the creation of new energy.
Now I have a vision, a dream, a system composed of several elements connected together and with the help of the sun and wind and supplementary systems, magnetic refoulement maybe we can achieve this purpose.
I know that the world is addicted to oil, and that the world economy revolves around it, and that could be seen as a drama, a subversion, of world equilibrium. But never anything has ever blocked the continuation of the life of mankind, even the wars we have succeeded. The man gets up again and with his talent creates new ways to live and move on.
Our world is too sick, not to look for a serious reversal, in any case, perhaps it is too late.
It would be a real revolution, but we can image how nice it would be if every family had one of which can be drawn down to meet energy needs. Here too: every family? Maybe at the beginning it would be only for a few; Unfortunately, the "rich" but then in a few decades it may be distributing, to many, and even the third world countries where this is still the energy can still be a luxury, it might be a great achievement.
Connect the car overnight, to recharge your batteries, provide housing for home appliances, lighting, perhaps devise an additional tool to destroy or recycle the trash always powered by a clean generator.
Sure it's just a vision, behind we would have to coordinate specific studies, study well the materials, which will have to be lighter and stronger. win, sharpen the laws of physics. Reduce the kinematic mechanisms, the contact surfaces to a minimum, to reduce friction. aerodynamics studies, maximum yield with minimum wind thrust. Studies of magnetism, that with a system of magnets, perhaps, also made from a minimum energy recycling, car product, it can also create the thrusts on the blades to increase the thrust. Realization of high-performance solar panels surface rake in additional energy. a myriad of little things, to push a step forward. Or it should add it in an environment where to reproduce the situations on the space in the absence or reduce the force of gravity, or to remove the air inside, so as to reduce friction to a minimum. It would be a great achievement. For us and for our planet and our children.
Between 2007 and 2011 I worked on a project in the north of Nigeria, near the city of Kano. Where for many kilometers, farther south tropical forest thin out and becomes gradually savannah, and continuing north becomes almost deserted.
Along the track of the road to realize there was an old bridge, a steel structure that caught my attention.
Later, with a little time I went to see closely this facility, discovering interesting things.
The thing that surprises me most were printed in the steel plates fixed to the beamsto the sides at the ends of the bridge. Among others, wore imprinted build dates,dating back to 1927. My mind, made a backward in time, imagining a Nigeria English colony, a period between the two great wars. Who has had the good fortune to see the movie "Out of Africa" can understand what I mean. And if any of one he had not seen it I highly recommend it, will prove to be two hours well spent.
A faraway land, ancient and wild, but when one sets foot there once carries this land always in the heart, is something intimate and personal, which can not explain, I think it's that "Africa sickness" which is hears about.
I tried to do research, to get news about the bridge, but did not led to any results. I think at a time when the roads were completely absent. To bring these beams from England, once crossed, the Ocean, perhaps with smaller vessels, are traced along the river Niger, and then follow its affluent the Benue, to the east, and in turn, in Wudil river up to arrive at the point in question. Where engineers British whith labor, local, have realized, this artwork.
All of us, looking around, we are surrounded by dozens hundreds of bridges, of different sizes and different construction technologies, but what makes it special, this construction, are the particular conditions under which it was built.
Almost total absence of machinery, difficult to interact with people, indigenous, wary, maybe unwilling, to accept, the trend of the times, and without knowing English, tropical diseases. etc.

Regarding the question Pantani.
Even after so many years there is talk of a matter, not clear, from the begin, and will remain a great mystery in the world of sport and its history. I have a good memory and while not remembering remember exact dates but the whole story yes, below I exhibit my thoughts.
Cycling is one of those real sport, made of sweat, sweat and sweat. Maybe that's why, the people like it, which enhances the champions, on duty as demigods. It was Pantani time, Pantani yes, Pantani not. Today on the summit of Mortirolo, tomorrow to battle with the entire world, or almost, for a value of 0,00,3 vhggfrito turn. I wanted to be there with him that night and talk to him, to show him the other side of the medal. And that despite a bad time, that he was making in his life was a fairy tale, which would commence its in the story, and to give space and take time, new sunny days would arise. And not to listen, to that part of mass communicators, that only on the basis of where the wind blows are talking thee this day hail, and tomorrow they put you to shame, because they have the ability to show a sheep, a wolf, and a wolf sheep.
I think in 1995 or maybe 1996, I went to see an arrival of the Tour of Italy, at the Terme Luigiane in the land in which I live. So I stood at the finish line, and I could see the last 50 meters after a bend, when the first who were competing for the victory, left the same, standing, pushing on the pedals, was something inexplicable an unforgettable experience. They looked like the horses, golden, yes, the horses that pull the chariot of Apollo. Cut through the air like a willow twig, making that hissing sound, which like so much the children, when they discover it. Their bodies seemed they develop power, so those KWA, which mathematically measure the power. And it still confirms once more what was my thought, that always been. That all these guys, take such substances are administered to improve performance, far from been water and sugar, or to eat a simple banana. Now the difference from a doped or not, its make only by the regulations, that is forbit , or not, and maybe what is now forbidden, tomorrow will be allowed, such is life all.
Now lets think, to my example: "my" arrival the riders had arrived after traveling about 250 km, and battled over the last 50 m as if they climbed on the bicycle only one more kilometer downstream. And the day before? the same! And the next day? The same! A month in Italy, so, after a month so also in France, and later in Spain. And all the other "minor" races of the season. So it does not take a large brain or be sports doctors to understand that there is something wrong, holy training, preparation, but there is something wrong.
What is wrong for me are not these guys, who have only ever ridden, since they were children. But the system, which incorporates everything within itselves chaining and using everything with a view of mere profit, economic speculation. Space only for the winner. So if you win, in the Olympus, and if not, you're nobody. Why not turn cycling into a team sport? Not as it is today, but a true team sports, such as soccer ball or basketball. Winning? Winning team! Lose? The team loses! And that the champion or champions of the team will be the spearheads, but in a context. As Messi, or Lebrone James. Often the pressures and expectations, which are loaded these are too large to be carried, because they are only boys, that only a few years before were running alone, dreaming of great things, along the roads. If be modified, something wrong we need the courage, to change, new regulations new approaches, all in the service of progress, human first and foremost. Life first of all, everything in the service, man as a person and not to interests of mankind.
And I will remember only the champion that you have been, and as I am sure there are many.
The Creator above all else.
I am a firm believer that: scientific discoveries, all, are coming from Divine illuminations! right now imagine a man who lived 400 years ago with all that were with the knowledge and tools of the time. Kepler who claimed that: "... the earth rotates around the sun, and its orbit is elliptical, and that the sun plays one of two fires ... and that the earth in its movement along different arcs at different times .. . and that the more the earth is closest to the sun as it moves quickly, and that the triangles formed between the joining between the extremes of these arcs, with the sun, the summit, are equal in equal times. who gave such wisdom and knowledge to this man? how it could measure realize, this immensity, if not for God's grace? but this is just an example, how many like him, they had thirst and luck and grace when he posed the spirit of knowledge. all the rules, formulas, governing the universe are a gift of the Most High. by the Greek philosophers, to Arab mathematicians, the great physicists of the last century, the know everything is a Divine gift. and Him with these precious gifts, makes us turn around Him giving us the steps in the journey towards Him.
Make the desert bloom 13Mar2016
the man is always looking for new living space for new settlement and to create development and jobs. I thought that what follows could also curb the expansion of deserts. This can be accomplished through great engineering works, namely to "the desert bloom" should realize of the canalisations that lead the waters of the Nile, Niger and Lake Chad to the interior of the Sahara desert for hundreds of kilometers. I think that the problems of achieving this purpose would be mostly of a political nature, but once solved, could be a good opportunity for all. why go to invest and spend to go to Mars, when here on earth there is still much to do?

ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS PERFECT DEMOCRACY .
I'd like to, and I think other people like me, I think, would like to express their opinion, in legislative matters, despite not being a politician.
often they set of popular referendums, which are not of real interest, and often most people avoid. while it would be my intention to express the opinions of others, topics.
Now would be a good achievement if democratic, were to be made permanent points, perhaps in the municipal offices, where anyone and at any time able to give its YES or NO on the various legislative choices. weekly.
a hypothetical procedure could be as follows: install machines such as ATMs where anyone, an adult, by inserting a document, such as health card, and being recognized, or read through fingerprints or iris. It can express one and only one vote. this week to this, question, next to another. then would be responsible such a commission, specific, to determine the details and interpretation of data.
but this thing shorten the distance between the people and the ruling class.
