The result? He said she (and they confirm, according to analysts, macroeconomic data): " We have reduced the government deficit and we have repaid the debt. We strongly cut the income tax base and even taxes plus' high. And to do what 'we firmly reduced public spending as a percentage of national product.

How To Tell That Scorpio Is Serious About You
Captain Kidd's story that Serves as a cautionary, warning of the dangers of privateeringand of the blurry line between that occupation and outright piracy.
In December, 1695, a privateering vessel named the Adventure Galley was launched at Deptford, England, on the Thames River. The ship was to sail around Africa and destroy pirates operating in the Red Sea and to harass French shipping there. She was commanded by William Kidd, an experienced captain and privateer.
The Galley's maiden voyage was beset by ill luck and delay. Upon departure Kidd promptly lost almost half of his crew to the English navy's press gangs and was forced to make up the missing men by recruiting the dregs and scum of New York harbor. It took five long months for Kidd to make the voyage around Africa, and on arrival he immediately lost another fifty men to a tropical disease.
By the time he reached the Red Sea the surviving crewmen were almost in open mutiny and Kidd was ready to resort to almost any means to keep them in line. Unfortunately, most of the French shipping had been driven out of the area, and all Kidd encountered were neutral vessels. But Kidd was desperate, probably fearing for his life, and he attacked and captured a number of neutrals, believing (or hoping) that ambiguities in their ownership and papers made them legitimate prizes.
On January 30th of 1698, Kidd encountered the Quedah Merchant. Owned by Armenians and flying under false French colors, the Merchant was one of the richest prizes ever taken at sea. Kidd was enormously pleased with his good fortune - until he discovered that the Merchant had an English captain, which made his attack an act of outright piracy. In horror, Kidd ordered that the ship be freed, but his crew angrily refused. Instead, they sailed the ships to the African island of Madagascar and divided the plunder (surprisingly, they gave Kidd a full privateer captain's portion of 40 shares). Then all but a handful of men deserted Kidd for another pirate in the area.
Convinced that he was an innocent victim of the actions of his mutinous crew, Kidd took the remainder of his men back to New England, where he hid some of his treasure before reporting to the local authorities. The authorities made Kidd reveal where he had hidden the treasure, then shipped him back to England in irons.
After rotting in prison for a year, Kidd was put on trial. He was quickly found guilty of piracy and sentenced to be hanged.
Even then his bad luck didn't desert him: the rope broke and it took his executioners two tries to kill him.
(Incidentally, this is the only known instance of a pirate burying any substantial amount of treasure. Most everybody else spent their loot as quickly as they got it.)
Lo e' per ora perche' essendo
del tutto nuovo non contiene quasi niente.
Lo sara' in futuro perche' contera' tantissime cose
diverse e spero interessanti. Sono Marco Piacentini
il vostro superimago!
Datemi tempo e ci potremo divertire insieme! :)

Jazz is a genre of music he plays and especially with his past experiences. All the great jazz musicians have spent most of their lives - and their genius - to confront with standard, classic, evergreen . Pointless to ask how many times has been performed My funny valentine , 'Round Midnight , My favorite thing . The jazz that reinterprets jazz is a constant that runs through the history of this type of music. Then appear on the scene The Bad Plus, and certainty of this kind are beginning to waver. Because their music does not have the patina of glorious time that was not pronounced melodies buried in our memory, but its roots directly in the present. Their debut, the now famous "These are the vistas" (Columbia, 2003), is a perfect symbol of the type of work that the band carries on. Out of a total of ten songs, three are covers: Smells like teen spirit Nirvana , Flim by Aphex Twin, Heart of Glass Blondie. And to make matters worse, all the other tracks on the disc does not sound like they just jazz, but most occur in the power of rock, the melodic simplicity of pop, the speed of the unleashed drum'n'bass, and care musical notation of classical music. An incredible music, really. Especially: a compelling music, completely away from the tedious and complicated stuff that you hear in a suit between a yawn and another. And the most surprising thing is not the crazy mix of notes is to get you wherever you are, but that music comes out from a typical jazz training. The piano trio: piano, bass, drums. Insert "Sospicious Activity?" In the player and let the tracks take their course. You will find only a Chariot of Fire brings back memories of music already heard, here made more evocative and powerful. The rest is pure The Bad Plus. Ethan Iverson's piano that he knows is fast and accurate ( Anthem for the Earnest ), or intense noise ( prehensile dream ). David King's drums that sculpts the perfect cadence and pace while embroidered touches and strokes that accelerate the execution ( Rhinoceros Is My Profession ). Reid Anderson's bass to give depth and accuracy the sound that is more rounded and compact ( Let Our Garden Grow ). But it is not easy to divide and assign roles merit. Not the "usual" jazz Keith Jarrett - with all due respect to the Master! - Where every so often a musician begins to improvise in turn, in the silence of others who care for and re-launch and follow the rhythm. collective solos are long, the compositions of The Bad Plus. Musicians who are holding hands, toughness, even when one of them runs and accelerates the time.

Among the endless news you rain down on me when you open a newspaper or watch the news, there's always a vaguely heartbreaking. You just turned the page, or you are there to climb schedules with the remote control in hand, and within seconds your emotional system is revved up, the internal organs follow suit and your facial muscles can not help but to coordinate and overlap amazed to get that air in his face. Your lips are fixed on a "NO!" Disbelief and helplessness. The eyelids repeatedly banging just like when you did not understand or have understood it all too fast. Usually, the news reports the cause and date of death. The death of a famous director, or a well-known writer, viene annunciata con particolare rilievo – gridata in tv, titolata in un grassetto più funereo del solito sui quotidiani – e le immagini del regista, o dello scrittore, sono estrapolate dal lungo continuum spazio-temporale della sua vita, ed è un salmodiare preciso di film riusciti o successi editoriali. Non ci credi ancora, quando la notizia è finita e deve lasciare spazio alla successiva. Proprio perchè new s e successiva – in inglese, notizia e novità si scrivono nello stesso modo – la notizia seguente è stata programmata con cura per toglierti il lucido dagli occhi e riportarti in alto gli angoli della bocca. Ma se è un nome significativo per te, quello del regista o dello scrittore, le strategie emotive dei media non fanno altro che sovraccaricare quel senso di perdita e di fine. In ordine di sparizione, l’ultimo dei registi a lasciarci è stato Robert Altman. Mancherà al Cinema. Soprattutto perchè aveva capito, in tempi di globalizzazione ed intrecci interplanetari, riprendendo la lezione di Charles Dickens, che è impossibile raccontare una storia senza raccontarne altre cento, con i personaggi che si incontrano, si legano, si lasciano, cospirano, tramano, semplicemente si ignorano - personaggi le cui azioni così banali, o non volute, o perfino evitabili, finiscono sempre per influire su destini e storie personali di perfetti sconosciuti. Il cinema, di solito, These stories, his characters, as if instead of the camera had a powerful microscope: isolation, selection, and the singularity of a single protagonist builds exempla and metaphors, but confirms the loss of a wider field and multi-lateral and never hold the chess game of a single pawn. But the thing that most troubles you is that with everything, writer or director who is, you'll soon forget, at least until the time when, the day after , leafing through the newspaper, or by testing skills of Olympic zapping, you will come , in a case which is not a case in the advertising of a book or a movie, or that the writer director, who has just left the pen, causing the sudden sinking of the corners of his mouth. On that book on that film, was deposited something of sacredness of death, something of the sacredness of the life of that character so important to you. And you feel the need immediate, and utterly irresistible, buy it now: not before, not after, now! Who knows what he's selling: he knows that entering the market now that book, the movie is doing so to give satisfaction to a consumer need that is located somewhere at the top of Maslow's pyramid - the top of the pyramid that identifies above all the need of creation self . Nell'astuzia market, knowledge of its chickens. Why, surely, there must be something hidden in all this, of ritual and anthropology. As if buying one of those cultural products, end up bringing home a piece of a corpse, a part of the dead, something that even death and eternal rest to the deceased allows you now, or not long ago, to recall to you, to bring it alive for oblique streets and market. It happens then that book, the movie - that piece of body mass-produced standardized & & bound - will become a fundamental part of your growth, your cognitive development, your sentimental education. Assimilate il morto, farà parte di te, profondamente. E non senza sentire il disagio, del tutto postmoderno , di esserti trovato per un attimo, nel momento di massima comunione con lo scrittore o con il regista, in cima alla Piramide di Maslow, senza neanche sapere nulla di questo Maslow – che faccia avesse, se fosse la moglie a farlo rigare dritto, se lo schema tanto venerato e decisivo per le teorie del marketing gli apparse tra gli scarabocchi di inchiostro, mentre parlava al telefono e giocava con la penna.

Ok! La teoria è andata. Non resta che misurarsi con la pratica. Così, la settimana dopo la lezione, sono di nuovo al Piccolo Teatro Studio per uno show directed by Peter Brook. The play that I called Sizwe Banzi est mort . It is in French. But the subs are illuminated in white on black display is there to protect and watch over the non-French speakers. I'm sitting on the floor on a cushion. Among others, I can just to cross your legs. Many seem to be doing yoga, and wriggle a lot, although I do not know the names of all the positions they assume. The blessed are the stands, and their eyes are fixed on nothing. I'm going to switch off their mobile friendly and pre-recorded female voice in an elegant Italian counsels us to take out cell phones and various technologies. The play thus begins. The lights dim, and the story is that Styles. Styles is a man black - the color of the skin of the actors is crucial in this story, and that black has no chance of passing, and in the course of events, but it is the pure sign of the difference, and the system of discrimination that backfires Styles has phobia humanity hidden beneath that color, and Styles learns at his own expense. Styles is a black man who works at a Ford factory and spends all day at Ford, and Ford there to understand what it means to the end harassment, even if he has the vocabulary and education is little that is . Of course, harassment, for us viewers, it is almost an understatement. But Styles, who tells in first person, this story unfolds with lightness and irony - and you're there to laugh, and the audience watches as sganascia laughter, one after another, and there's that slapping themselves on the legs and reward with explosive laughter and unison the story of that poor man who becomes an ass like the Ford, while after the laughing is the recoil guilt and feel that - even if you laugh with Styles and Styles of - have a bitter taste, and there's no way to avoid this medicine. After all, Styles, is one who knows her: at the first opportunity to leave Ford and, with the savings of years at Ford, buy a camera store. And customers go from there, and Styles would frame their dreams in those photographs, only one, when one day Robert is to cross the door of his shop. Robert is the second protagonist of the play. Robert's story is even more dramatic and emotionally disturbing to hear. The drama lies in the fact that Robert is Robert, but Sizwe Banzi: a black man, without documents, who works where he can, always hiding, because if you catch him back in South Africa, its land, and find the street to beg for pennies with all his large family. Sizwe Banzi is big, big, and the despair it darkens, and one night he goes for the desperation pass in a bar and gets drunk, and staggers out when he does the ever urgent need to pee, drunk and without notice, then piss on something that will prove to be a corpse, another black man lying on the ground - (cut plot and a otherwise the character would be long) - and sees Banzi, searches his pockets, is this document made out to Robert, and though a thousand torments & & inner dilemmas Very difficult to say take those documents, makes them his own, plus the name and identity of Sizwe Banzi finally disappear when Sizwe Banzi becomes Robert, a black man with documents. The tragedy here, too, emerges from the laughter, and recoil from the guilt of laughter is the worst thing ever. However, the effort to do is: imagine as Peter Brook has staged this story. Styles, Robert, the two actors who provide the flesh to the characters, are immersed in an area completely bare. In empty theater, anything to give the impression of a traditional set. Only cartoon, two sacks, a stick, stools made from boxes, frames of iron with two wheels to make them move, a shoe. That's it. But the absence, the disappearance of the world, only takes a few seconds. Because the actors through words, gestures and precise as sharp, and the skill with which have their own body, fleshing out quickly the scene, the damage thickness, make it alive and vibrant. It is empty around, but it's a very empty and chaotic full real . And we viewers in the desert of the room, with only two actors in front of a backdrop and gone, we are like the actors, with our whole body. The imagination is revved up: reviewing and gestures, words, tone of those words, the accuracy of movements, rebuild - without ever having views - factories, cities, roads, and there in the middle , (we are here just for this), we meet Robert and Styles, and more until we break them off the applause is not empathy. Sure, there's something capital in this way of making theater. The test is the force with which everything is vivid and well laid out in memory. I try to understand. And, from the desert of the theater, there are two figures . On the one hand, Peter Brook: trying to tell a story without telling you all about that history gives you time, the pace of events, but first removes the space and the reality of events. And on the other, the viewer: that on the track of the time, setting in motion an incredible amount of neurons, reconstructs the space of that history, and sees, and sees it as if we lived in the middle, trying directly 'horror of that history, all the despair - the climax of the play is when Banzi trips over the corpse, but what the two actors actually called corpse is a shoe, a shoe and brown undone, and the viewer is in desperate while re-establishing neuronal tumult of the shoe features and horror of a corpse and cold in the middle of the road. Then I look at this way of making theater a double responsibility: the responsibility of those who orchestrate and decides to tell that story with rigor (Peter Brook), and the responsibility of those who have perfectly reconstruct the history of space to feel the full pain and dismay (the consumers). There is very little step in this theatrical form: to find all reality, its horrors, is a collective duty, and this happens regularly at every performance.
