Drinkwell Original Vs. Platinum

diaframmare con noi #4

In response to the post about the caves, a friend of my attention to an open letter published on the website of Agora Magazine, sent by two National Councillors and by the Energy Working Group of Italy Nostra (National Association for the preservation of historic, artistic and natural heritage of the nation) and addressed to the mayor of Verzino Dr. Italo Russo.

" We read in local newspapers that the City of Verzino extended the deadline of the call for finding a company willing to make - in any part of the area - a mega-windfarm: 40 posts from 105 meters. The first race had been deserted. The territory of
Verzino of ancient culture, preserving a wealth of historical, archaeological, natural and landscape of great value.
In particular, it has the highest concentration of delicate caves and sinkholes, the heart of the Geopark Ipogeo of Crotone, which should be preserved and better known, to enable and enhance the enjoyment from a naturalistic tourism, including international, growing in our country and which may be a source of secure economic prosperity and cultural citizenship.
Therefore, we encourage you to want to give up any mega-project wind energy plant, high impact on the territory of Verzino fine, but that may well promote more sustainable its precious natural and cultural resources to deliver them, intact, to future generations future.
On the other hand, we became aware that the region of Calabria has decided to solve the problem of wind energy suspending any license for 120 days after the entry into force of the law by a recognition of emergencies and needs.
In the vote on the regional budget, in fact, approved last June 23, came two amendments that relate to the wind and renewable energy.
Through these amendments, inter alia, states that ... "The Department of the regional production activities, within thirty days from the date of entry into force of the law (23 July), determines the number of single authorizations for the construction of installations from renewable sources (wind, biomass, solar, hydro). The Region shall declare the forfeiture of permits only, for which it has not been fulfilled by the applicant, the commitment sottoscritto al rispetto dei termini di inizio e fine lavori.
La Giunta Regionale- entro quaranta giorni dalla data di entrata in vigore della presente normativa e alla luce delle risultanze emerse dai precedenti accertamenti- presenta al consiglio regionale, che si impegna ad approvarla con procedura d’urgenza, una proposta di provvedimento .Quindi, ogni nuova concessione sarà sospesa”……
”.

Auspicando un suo ripensamento, anche alla luce delle deliberazioni della Regione Calabria, la salutiamo cordialmente,

Teresa Liguori e Mariarita Signorini
Consiglieri nazionali ed il Gruppo di Lavoro Energia Italia Nostra onlus

Where Can You Buy A Gimp Mask

dimensione natura #4

now there are no more doubts. Our survival depends on our actions. Understand our role, nature, ecosystem, planet of all, must be protected. To us, guests step into a planet where a succession of alarms and environmental catastrophes that constantly alter a delicate system of balances, we have to respect it, enhance it, improve it, defend it.
All must be done from below, from the smallest of all of us. This is possible only "knowing" the territory, discovering the diversity and understanding their value. That is why, instead of worrying about opening three weeks in advance hunting, in a region ravaged by fires in summer and in which nothing is done to protect life, it would be interesting to create and give life to environmental protection campaigns that do rediscover the true sense of belonging to nature. In what way?
There are interesting groups of volunteers who seek to spread the SpeleoTrekking, discipline that filters and blends, stimulates observation and meditation when you enter in naturalistic environments forgotten, to exult in front of a waterfall, returns and creates a magical children atmosphere.
But not everyone knows that in the north-western province of Crotone, in common between Verzino, Castelsilano, Cerenzia, Caccuri e Belvedere Spinello, vi è un geosito che, per diversità di forme carsiche e superficiali e sviluppo di sistemi ipogei, è uno dei più importanti sistemi carsici in gessi d’Italia.
Lo sviluppo dei fenomeni carsici in questo territorio ha dato origine a sei grandi cavità: la Grave Grubbo, Grotta dello Stige, l’Antro del Torchia, la Grave dei due Manfred, la Grotta del Palummaro e del Nasone.
Le splendide cavità modellate dall’acqua, attraversate per tutta la lunghezza da fiumi sotterranei perenni, offrono ai visitatori incantevoli e suggestivi scenari: ambienti notevolmente ampi con altezze che superano i 15 metri, doline in mezzo alla campagna, stalattiti e stalagmiti nonché tipi di special flora and fauna including white columns of bats. In short, a "natural monument regional" to be discovered and that once again demonstrates the potential of our Earth.

How Much Time Do I Need To Let My Eyebrows Grow

piccole curiosità #4

Not everyone knows that Cutro , a small town in the province of Crotone, every year from April 23 to May 1, as part of annual celebration dedicated to SS.Crocifisso May 3, it plays an important event ludico-culturale: il Torneo Internazionale di Scacchi, gioco antichissimo e nobile originatesi probabilmente in India o nell’antica Grecia ed importato in Italia dalle Crociate. Non a caso, però, questo piccolo paese diviene per una settimana circa la “città degli scacchi”. Ciò avviene per onorare e celebrare un “figlio” illustre, il più grande scacchista di tutti i tempi, Gian Leonardo di Bona, detto il Puttino, per la sua straordinaria bellezza e il suo portamento e in seguito insignito dal re Don Sebastiano del Portogallo dell’appellativo di “cavaliere errante: perché a guisa degli antichi cavalieri vinceva i suoi rivali ed i superbi umiliava”.
Other small curiosity to be reported, along with the tournament, is the "living chess game" on the board in the middle of the paved main square.
