Canone Rai, green light from the State Council. But it remains the clash with … – The Republic

Rome – After the doubts raised on April 7, the State Council gives a favorable opinion to the ministerial decree making operational reform of the TV license fee from July included in our electric bill. But the Ministry of Economic Development – who wrote the decree – and the State Council sent staged a real tussle. The Ministry in fact reflects only partially clenched teeth and the reliefs that the State Council has addressed on April 7.
On April 7, for example, the State Council has asked the Ministry a definition some tv unit, the possession of which is the basis for the payment of the fee. Well, the ministry refuses to write in the decree a rigid definition of television set because – said in a report – a rule “plaster” is likely to grow rapidly in the light of the constant technological innovations taking place. The ministry provides the definition required by the Council of State only in its explanatory note, which is a much weaker act legally. For the man in the street today does not change anything. Pay the fee Rai only for TV device and not to the tablet, smartphone or computer. But the government – which therefore precise it only in its explanatory note – does not change the law and the decree. In other words it keeps your hands free for the future.
The Ministry also refuses to reiterate in the decree that the fee you pay only once, even if we have multiple TVs in the house. Now – says the ministry the Council of State – it follows clearly from the Stability Law of 2016 which launched the novelty of the bill fee. So no need to reaffirm the thing even in the implementing decree.
The ministry does not then accepted the invitation of the State Council to write the decree in the most simple and clear, saw the wide audience of users whose the measure is addressed. No way. Economic Development argues that the Decree is a technical act that governs the relationship between the various public bodies in the field and the power companies. A technical note does not require one at all popular style. On this issue, the Council of State – which also gives the green light to the decree – try to keep the point. He asks the ministry to attach to the decree all instructions and forms necessary for citizens to rely on the exemption from the payment when they are entitled.
The ministry instead welcomes the findings of the State Council on April 7 He complained about the total lack in the original decree of any reference to the rules on user privacy. The new wording of the decree puts the Italian citizens at last under the protective umbrella of the rules on confidentiality. Always the ministry makes life easier to the citizen who has not properly communicated his residence at the power company and therefore in danger of being charged with two canons of two separate loads of light. The request for an exemption to one of the two users is now simplified. In addition, the Ministry promises – as did the State Council – a more widespread information campaign to explain well to the Italian viewers their rights and duties in this new season.

Agreement finally the compensation promised to electricity companies (28 million overall) for the “hard” to manage the fee in the bill. The Council of State has requested and obtained that money is insured directly by the Inland Revenue, and not from the proceeds of the bills. This way, you avoid that companies can claim further compensation if the product of the recovery of the TV gabella is very strong.

Land Rover Discovery Sport MY 2017: the first car with the find … – Motorionline

Waste with mockery: the electronic ID card costs 16 million … – LANOTIZIAgiornale.it

 

Spend 16 million Euros to achieve the coveted electronic identity card. And end up making a gift to your potential terrorism when the alarms coming from several fronts. Why? Simple: the digital document is performed with the Belgian technology – far from flawless – chosen by the Interior Ministry just a few months ago. So the ID card could easily falsifiable species by “professionals” in the industry. An own goal that crosses a substantial government spending and national security. So the free Alternative group (Al) has submitted a question to the House. With a precise objective: to ask the Government to focus on “safer technologies used so far.” The problem concerns the technology laser engraving , used in Belgium with disastrous results, and in the decree signed by the Minister of the Interior, Angelino Alfano , in agreement with the Minister of Home ‘ economy, Pier Carlo Padoan , and the Public Administration, Marianna Madia . “Millions of Euros spent by the State with the risk of giving a gift to terrorism,” he says The News Artini Massimo , a member of Al and first signatory of the question. Yes, because the decree provides for the “sale of technological systems in place, which cost about 6 million euro to the State Printing Office, to replace them with other plants for an estimated investment of at least 10 million euro”, it reads the document presented by Alternative free Deputies. With a total cost of 16 million.

TECHNOLOGY DANGEROUS – laser graving is commercially available and is therefore readily available. The chronicles tell of the arrest in Bellizzi, in the province of Salerno, the Djamal Eddine Ouali , accused of having provided false Belgian ID cards to the most wanted terrorists in Europe. Beginning with Salah Abdeslam , the only survivor of the massacres in Paris on November 13, to continue with Mohamed Belkaid , who was killed in an operation by police in Forest (Belgium) , and ending with another suicide bomber of Zaventem, Najim Laachroui . In short, the technique used in Brussels is not exactly foolproof. And Artini asks repentance to the Government. Because there is “the elimination of the optical spectrum technology up to now in use”: the same one used by the department of the US national security for over 15 years for the Green Card . And “that no one has ever suffered any kind of counterfeiting”, highlights the query.

SECURITY IN DANGER – But there are other problems. The current legislation provides for the mailing of the electronic identity card. Of course, everything is done according to the protection of personal data. But the novelty is likely to conflict with the Single text of public safety laws, according to which the mayor is required to issue to those who request a conforming to the model identity card provided by the Interior Ministry. And that ultimately requires “rigorous (and therefore direct) confirm the identity of the requesting person.”

Climate, there is no way to produce without polluting. Tell Renzi – The Daily

Yesterday, just hours before the summit at 5 with Renzi, Hollande and Cameron , Obama and Merkel were to Hanover fair , the world’s most important industrial trade fair, which began in 1947 in this city was destroyed in a single night in 1943 and became the symbol of German industrial rebirth after the horrors of Nazism. It is 5 fairs on five themes gathered in one place, industrial automation, energy, research and technology, manufacturing, digital; the guiding theme of the event is the ‘ built-in industry : that is, the idea of ​​the “fourth industrial revolution”, the rage in Germany from 2011, which consists in’ integration of cyber-physical systems in industrial processes , made possible by the digital and work in networks. The winning item is no longer just the industrial product or process to get there, but the “connection” between sectors and productions that “speak to one another” and with the consumer-citizen-manufacturer through the internet: in short industry “4.0″ that produces precisely the internet of things, where everything will be connected to make us live better and consume less (dixit), from the coffee machine to the crane.

I am also in Hanover, and, while admitting my total incompetence in technical matters and my total skepticism on the transatlantic partnership Treaty (TTIP) that Merkel and Obama have here tried to raise, I must say that it is now hard for ecologist self-respecting, not hear the charm of machines, bolts, strange plants psychedelic lights, gears, pumps, robots, gadgets use unsuspected; also because more and more the recovery in manufacturing and innovation go by the knowledge that we have to beat climate change and “adapt” with new products and a new way of living, move, consume the scarcity of resources and the dangers of pollution and you can drag the world out of poverty and conflict, overcoming our dependence on fossil . Among the various stands futuristic, there are dozens of lords and ladies with the improbable pastel ties and impeccable suits that explain how to save energy, how to make fully automated home, how to make industrial processes cleaner and more effective, how to produce with materials “so economical”, how to organize work and production in a manner consistent with the objective to decouple economic growth from resource consumption.

in speeches and lectures frequently returns theme of ‘ Paris and responsibility of the economic world ; It is not surprising, given that one of the novelties of COP21 was the visibility of the economic and industrial world in the climate challenge. Obviously, not all are equally enthusiastic and is perceived here and there a little ‘healthy’ Green wash “. However, although there is still long way to go and although many of these products so innovative and environmentally sound have not yet a market, I I am a stubborn optimist , trend “and they all lived happily ever after “, so I think it’s really important that the challenge of climate change in the largest industrial and technological fair in the world is so present, a few days after the Paris signing in New York.

of course, if I think of the way the Italian political, representative bodies of the Italian industrial world and the media speak and act on these issues, I pass immediately a good mood. Of course, the talk of Renzi in New York in his funny English had its own because, with the image of the children and grandchildren to keep watch on the signatories, the solemn declarations of renewables to 50% and insurance that the events of the referendum on the drills would not put environmental issues in the corner, it seemed almost real; and also the Minister Galletti has launched moved in Italian leadership commitments in the fight against global warming.

But all this sounds really fake and surface . Because in Italy, the contrast between the environment, health and industry does exist; It is a major obstacle that is in the heads of our own rulers and opinion-makers that there is a disadvantage and delaying, despite the efforts of a part of the productive sector that instead he understood very well where is the future, but it has little influence in Confindustria and politics . It is no coincidence that the government has preferred throw to the wind 300 million euro , instead of doing some borer pay the cost of having to dismantle the systems that were supposed to stop working at the end of the concessions.

And there is also a ghost who wanders in Italy making it complicated a positive dialogue as it is easy to do here in Germany. It is’ the dreaded “ideological environmentalism” capable of blocking useful infrastructure, impair employment and jobs and determined to bring us back to the age of stone. It has spoken often President Renz the during the referendum campaign on drills , has done it again in New York ; unlike other countries, talk about climate, the environment does not seem (still) useful to gather consensus, indeed. So be environmentalists in Italy is definitely out of fashion, especially in politics.

Amazing, no? Especially the dangers in a country of many environmental disasters , which owns many years the of EU infringement proceedings records , and who has to pay millions in fines dealt with supreme indifference and where as a an extremist environmentalism seem very minor compared to that of the lobbies fossils and a cultural approach that does not know and does not want to distinguish between economic activities, investments, infrastructure that make us less dependent on fossil and less wasteful of resources , compared to those who leave us anchored to the old and losing idea of ​​an industry that to be such must necessarily polluting .

This real brainwashed served up with plenty in recent years by compliant media and ignorant and politics indifferent and / or linked to a debate shortness of breath , and poor quality, has very practical effects that threaten to make the Paris signing an act totally unrealistic for Italy. In our country there is a public debate for years on industrial and energy strategy that is based on a vision of the future and not on litigation or media battles between “honest and rational” proponents of an old industry and a vast social and its associated front that look like one armed against each other.

‘s lack of transparency and a real will mediation and involvement of the public leads to the radicalization of the conflict , to years of grueling battles willing citizens who lose hand hand-trust laws and procedures, and it also happens that useful projects, but imposed or unexplained or poorly organized come to naught. Choices good or bad are almost random or the result of specific interests, and they are always discontinuous and revocable, see the mess of renewable and sudden passion for our own oil and gas. I really think it’s really important to organize to reverse this situation, caused by a mixture of sloppiness, lack of future strategy and fossils friendships: even without diluting the positive heritage of the millions of people who voted YES in the referendum on the augers.

Apple Watch is a flop or a success? – The post

Apple is working on a new version of its Watch that you can directly connect to the cellular network, without having to do it through the iPhone as now. The new Apple Watch will also have a faster processor to handle some new features, in addition to applications that already may be installed on the device. The news about the next version of Apple’s smartwatch is no official advances obtained from the Wall Street Journal , which in the past has proven to be reliable sources, and have not been confirmed by the company. Apple Watch is on sale for about a year and it is not yet clear when it will receive an update, or if the next version already include early innovations from WSJ . The ability to use the iPhone regardless of the smartwatch might encourage more people to buy, especially for keeping track of your physical activity during workouts.

Apple has not never released the sales figures of his watch, but analysts said it is likely that it has sold around 12 million since April last year when it was put on sale, initially in a limited number of countries including the United States. Apple Watch has an average price of around $ 500, which means that spans the new device has increased to 6 billion in revenues for the company, a remarkable achievement, but perceived as insufficient by many observers accustomed to much larger numbers of sales the iPhone and iPad. Many people think that the smartwatch offered for sale so far – not only by Apple but also by other manufacturers such as Samsung and Motorola – are an immature technology, to improve, and on which there is still work a lot. This partly explains the sales volumes to date content and the lack of user interest, especially if indifferent to the latest technology.

M. G. Siegler, investor in several startups and among the most respected observers when it comes to Apple, writes that the figure of 12 million sold Apple Watch should be put in perspective, before speaking of “flop”. For example, the $ 6 billion in revenues obtained thanks to the smartwatch are superior to the entire Rolex turnover in 2015, which has stood at $ 4.5 billion. Of course, the Apple Watch are not comparable to a traditional Rolex watch has different objectives by the US, but the two figures help to better understand how she’s doing a new product on the market for just a year.

in the sales of the Apple Watch whole they are doing well and have exceeded those of the first iPhone model, which sold 6 million units in its first year of sales, but in the following years to become one of the most profitable products ever sold in history . The Wall Street Journal , however, points out that in the first year of sales, the iPad did better than Apple Watch with 19.5 million devices sold. The Apple tablet, however, was long overdue and was the natural evolution of the iPhone with a larger screen to be able to do many more things, while the smartwatch is part of a completely new category for which have not yet been defined with precision and limits borders.

Almost all the reviews published in 2015 have defined Apple Watch as the best smartphone on the market, warning readers that it is still a model with rudimentary functions, and advising people to wait until his next evolutions before you buy it, if you do not have particular urgency. Apple Watch has a slow processor, which is further slowed down in some circumstances for him to consume less energy, so as to ensure the durability of the watch is wound for at least one day. The available applications now have not led to great or exciting innovations are little used and the interest of users seems to have concentrated mostly on the possibility of seeing the flight notifications, without having to pull out whenever the Pocket smartphone or look on desk.

Apple Watch does not have a GPS or a system to connect to the cellular network, so it must always be connected to an iPhone to perform certain functions. This close dependence on the smartphone could one hand encourage the purchase of new Apple iPhone for joy, but on the other it is a source of growing frustration because it greatly limits the use of the watch. Those who use it for exercise, for example, can not record data on the path followed during a run, unless you do not carry around even the phone. The competition began making smartwatch that connect to the cellular network, proving that you can do, and Apple seems to be willing to do the same, at least according to sources of the WSJ .

for June 13 is expected a new presentation of Apple, the opening of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, but it is unlikely that on this occasion it presented a new model of Apple Watch. At WWDC usually it is talking more like operating systems for Macs, and mobile devices: the news may limit itself to the Apple Watch software.

Commuters from Milan strategies – BBC

the train of the future will go to Milan. It is expected by the end of May, when the city will converge the most important operators of railways around the world. But while the capital is preparing for the largest global showcase for the technologies that will accompany our rail journeys in 2050, the entire Lombardy looks the chessboard on which the Italian railway future intends to deploy its full potential. It is in this region, in short, which can be shown that revolution of mobility dreamed, hoped, evoked, tracked, from black and white times of exotic Sundays of austerity to those far less playful of fine particles and traffic blocks. the appointment will make for five days Milan world capital of the railways has a nearly unpronounceable name: it is called Wcrr and insiders tend to pronounce it in English because it is short for World congress on research railways. sum universal Congress on applied research in the railway field. From 29 May to 2 June, in fact, the convention center Polar Star of the Fair (Rho), managers of private companies, public companies of directors, technicians, scientists, university professors from all latitudes will be showcasing their innovations and embryos of those that have yet to be fully developed. The title of this eleventh edition, in fact, is eloquent: “Research and innovation by 2050.”

It looks away, in fact. And the organizers (the State Railways and Trenitalia) are convinced that the Milan meeting will be a decisive step for the future of rail transport, as they seem to promise the 936 dossiers on experimentation and research programs already deposited to the secretary of Wcrr . Many more than four years ago in France. will be represented, in all, 38 countries, including – for the first time – also Russia and Japan. “The aim is to promote research, innovation and technological development – explain the Fs – giving impetus to worldwide cooperation and sharing of the wealth of knowledge gained in various branches of industry, for example rolling stock, infrastructure, technology, logistics , environmental sustainability, commercial aspects. ” And between sessions of Congress, they are scheduled technical visits to installations of the FS Group and the rail companies. Starting from the center of the airport’s current Maintenance Martesana, where they are checked regularly and the ETR 500 and 1000, that is, the jewels of the high rate of Fs. “I’d love that Wcrr could be an opportunity wide open to show what we are today in the railway landscape and what we can do for the future,” he says about it Renato Mazzoncini, CEO of the FS Group.

But besides the international horizon there is also a local future that, from the point of view of transport by rail, is yet to be explored. While working to win the construction of two high-speed lines in Iran, including Milan and Lombardy are the focus of the management of the railways. “The mobility market is growing,” emphasizes Mazzoncini, inevitable that the most populous region and more dynamic either – it’s appropriate to say – even the locomotive of this process. The number one of Fs, which is Brescia, knows the reality Lombard and is very optimistic about the future “in a population of ten million people – he explains – is not normal that rail commuters are only 350,000. And our goal is not only to increase that number but to shift to rail 30 or 40 percent of mobility in this region. “

in order to achieve these results, Mazzoncini is convinced that they can not help but increasingly close relations with the taxi networks, with the ‘ATM and all the public transport actors: “the evolution of public mobility is still growing and there is a willingness to make a system with all companies, because our only” enemy “is the private cars. It is important – he adds – not remain prisoners of their own assets: why, for example, Hilton took decades to put together the same number of rooms that Airbnb has achieved in four years of life. ” The chief executive of Fs also reaffirms its intention to take control of Trenord and explains that negotiations with regional president Roberto Maroni to get to the majority of the shares are being, then it insists on the concept of metropolitan city: “Where there works, there is no development. The example to follow is London. ” But on this track, the train from Milan is a bit ‘late.

Taxi sharing, the study – BBC

at the Expo of 2020, the Emirate of Dubai is planning to use the technology “Mvmant ‘to illustrate to the world a” new automobile mobility system. ” The EU Commission has elected among the top 28 innovative companies (out of 600) in the project frontierCities (nearly 4 million euro of funding in depth lost to the best ideas on the future of mobility). Daimler (Mercedes) strongly wanted to become a sponsor, promoting an experimental tour of the app in Italy and Europe, from Dubrovnik to Berlin, in a route that has also just reached Milan, where the ‘Councillor Pierfrancesco Maran has observed on the smartphone, inspiring the future “taxi sharing”, perhaps to replicate the unique number 7777.

The intelligent algorithm

This is an app based on an algorithm developed by a group of Catanese researchers – physicists and computer scientists gathered in Edisonweb team – designed to solve the problems of urban mobility: traffic, parking, pollution, even large weather events. As? Through the filtering of a set of statistical information needed to evaluate the displacement flow of citizens, thus providing an offer of public transport in line with the actual demand. In fact, the name “Mvmant” originates from the English word “motive”, movement, and “ant” ant, namely the living symbol of efficiency and organization. Modern radio taxi, is defined as the “synthesis between buses and taxis”, being a service on predetermined routes, booked via app .

Taxi sharing

for the commissioner Pierfrancesco Maran, was an opportunity to see it on Smartphone a project that has long been in the head of the Mobility sector officials: the shared taxi. An idea closely related to the new municipal unique number 7777 – that is, the system (managed by Fastweb) by which the municipality has replaced the columns at taxi ranks – just “rehabilitated” by the State Council after the stop at the Tar following the use of the radio taxi. “Now that the judgment gives us full reason – says Maran – we can start with the advertising campaign of 7777. After that we are also considering other initiatives, including a shared taxi system,” just as that of the app Mvmant, “for which we estimate reduced rates by 70% compared to taxis” explains to Riccardo D’Angelo.

Beyond the ‘sharing’

hell of words and concepts borrowed from English which in recent years have revolutionized (and overrun) urban mobility, the ride sharing is distinguished both by the car sharing of Guide me, car2go, Enjoy or Share’ngo (which is the same car to be put into sharing) is the carpool Bla Bla car (where the driver it is a suite that offers a smooth transition gain purposes). It takes place, therefore, the public transport service involving professional drivers, taxi drivers and chauffeurs NCC (chauffeur), thus avoiding the hitting in ” illegal ‘ ride sharing of Uberpop, illegal on the Italian territory from June 2015. So much so that Edisonweb was invited to participate in the national assemblies of the taxi.

Route Italy- Germany

innovation comes from Catania, or, more precisely, from Mirabella Imbaccari, agricultural country from the 50s became basin operari emigrated to Germany (to work in German factories precisely the Mercedes), whose third generations are now in the Mvmant staff, in a sort of nemesis or “good-natured revenge.” The novelty has indeed aroused the interest of Daimler always on the technological frontier when it comes to new mobility, as evidenced by the moovel companies, car2go and app of MyTaxi taxi drivers.

Peugeot – Two new models and a plan for China – Quattroruote

There are two innovations unveiled by Peugeot at the Beijing Motor Show, both destined to the local market: it is the 3008 and the 308 Sedan. Pieces of a five-year strategic plan, announced on the same occasion together with the confirmation of the commitment in the most important motorsport event that will affect the Asian country in the coming months, the rally-raid Silk Road. But first things first.

3008. After more than 200,000 copies sold in China in three years, the Donfeng Peugeot 3008 is renewed with a different look, especially in the front where , the center of the grille, dominates the Lion symbol. Also change the tail, with several lights, interiors and safety equipment: for the first time, the car adopts the Visio-System II Park, which offers a 360-degree view around the vehicle, and a collision warning system .

the 308 Sedan. Athletic, muscular, with a vertical grille: this sets the three volumes Dongfeng Peugeot, based on EMP2 platform. A preview of the car destined to form the core of the brand’s range of saloons of the C segment, the most popular on the Chinese market. The final version is expected to debut in the second half of this year.

The plan. A few weeks after the presentation of the strategic plan called Push to pass, Peugeot launched his five-year strategy for the conquest of the Chinese market, dubbed Blue Upper. The ambition is to make the Donfeng Peugeot, within half luster, generalist brand of high reference range in China and become a part of the top ten best-selling brands on the first market in the world. Three pillars underpinning the strategy: to aim ever higher in terms of the customer experience, technology and products.

Because the Greens in Austria make system while we only niches? – The Huffington Post

In Austria: “The candidate of the Freedom (FPOe), Norbert Hofer party, won more than 35% of the vote, and the ballot of 22 May will challenge the green Alexander van der Bellen, second with about 21 percent. the Socialist Rudolf Hundstorfer and popular Andreas Khol remained nailed to 11%: a shock to the ruling coalition, which has ruled the country since 1945. “

Question: “Why the Austrians realize that the Greens do dam xenophobia, while in Italy are a stalk of a ‘social democracy’ in the broadest sense, falling and trouble anywhere?” We try to answer by analyzing politically the Italian environmentalism cultural gaps in general.

The policy of the third millennium is to adapt the technology. Environment is ‘system’ and not ‘union’.
The crux of the problem is not taken, but adapting the technology. This is the interface between man and data environment. It should be adjusted to function. When not working, we tend to defend now man now the environment, but the perspective is the whole calibration. So, we are seeing many union niche or corporate policies, altruistic or selfish, but that will not solve people’s problems, and the consensus sways or declines.

The systems are global and running, from the environment humans and vice versa. They are not linear in nature, so it seems to progress, but accumulate side effects, and emerge sudden disasters.
Panic. It happens when you do not know the system and its balance. The technological system is known as “nature / culture”, and the intermediate key is DNA. Few take it into account, for reasons of simplification instinctual, not up to date with the complexity of a technologically advanced environment manipulation. The policy speaks to the belly, because the heads do not understand. They want the result but not the wait. They misbehave. In the story it happened many times with the news. The studies must be engaged to draw the best. Earlier decompensate and divide.

The “progress” in a biological environment is “thermoregulation”, ‘nonlinear’ and sudden collapse. The measurement of ” temperature in the general sense is essential, as – in the metaphor – in the treatment of influenza. Persisting symptoms is the most common mistake of those who make trade policies limited. Since everything is sped up, the citizen has the feeling that “you stop a hole and opens a hole.”
Why socialriformiste environmental policies and those do not work or do not collect consents, giving way to populist exploit? phenomenon that affects and paralyzes progress and stability?

The answer is that the social deals too human, and environmentalism simply offsets defending the ‘green’. But the plants do not vote. And the Verdi trade union policies remain niche, without touching the ‘system’. In summary, the Greens do not do ‘culture of nature’, but only the ‘gardeners’. If they understood that the Social Democracy is obsolete post-industrial culture of the ’900, would regulate the balance of power to govern the transition. They could act as a majority for a ‘Green = Health’ for everyone. Lacking adequate analysis to understand how the computer tow biotechnology a ‘green revolution’ where ‘and social capital’ does not disappear, but not prevail. Do not just rely on the protection of the environment at risk. It must be demonstrated that the risk is also of the human species that attacks him.

All momentous steps are at genetic risk. It happened with the end of the old militarism – the Pharaohs to the Roman Empire – which has given way to an individualism first feudal and then industrial, and then market and finance. In each step there has been a ‘Crossfade’ from the old to the new. The culture has led the advance on the tracks of nature. When was self-train has derailed and crashed. Today the culture of ‘fire and sword’ would linger on ‘arms and oil’, while the DNA becomes ill with cancer from uranium and plastics.
is the nature in the first place to draw attention to, and then biotechnology, in which to be included must memory and intelligence of visas computer as bionic implants. The ‘green’ culture of organic tends to prevail over the ‘red’ of the metal fire, but must ‘a system’ existential offering solutions ‘software’ rather than quantitative ‘hardware’.

The revolution that the Greens Italians do not see, and not do, it is in this aspect. It escapes him because that space is occupied by a tardoindustrialismo between quantity and sociability. And the ruling Social Democrats, who are agents ‘touts’ environmental pollution heedless goods and existential. If the Greens do not ride the contradiction between pollution and existential, and not see it as pollution steal 40 years of life to all, including poisoning and administrative turmoil, never prevail. Not shatter the selfish mentalism, depressive and weak-willed, which corresponds to the virus of allegiance to a social patronizing, but sneaky inducer egoistic crushing, draining and participatory democracy in exchange for passwords for the “trendy clubs of the ephemeral.”

Whole multitudes of pseudo consumers are loaded on the ‘goods’ of shopping centers wagons, and start on the siding of an ‘environmental Auschwitz’ where it is written, “The consumption makes us happy.” in the post-industrial lager happens
that lives become miserable, because the individual still can not match the egotiche fantasies, and people end up obese, unhappy, sick and finally self-cremated. The new Anne Frank are hidden in some country not yet polluted, but TV and tablet reach them to convince them to enter the collective, where competition for attention replaces the affection, and then drown in indifference, which resets frantically every success, to make a new focus marketable space. “But in Wonderland ‘all this Anne Frank /’ Alice does not know.” And then, or glimpse the green over the wall Shopping Mall, and ‘eat the fruit of knowledge’, or goes out early in the Artificial Paradise.

To say the essential things just a short blog. The political revolution now needs no blood-red but green-sap. Passes for scientific awareness of their DNA, the intelligence of regeneration, of self and the environment, in the integrity of nature to which it belongs. This is the way to creative life to be realized, and thus to a “happy growth” possible, even in GDP.

The Philippe Starck stove – Living

Designed by Philippe Starck, the wood stove Speetbox produced by the French company Speeta was born around the idea of ​​form: two cubes of 50 cm x 50 cm ( fire form and electronic form) are the basic solution around which, depending on your needs, you can build a flexible system consists of elements “children”, containers for wood, chairs, bookshelves, boxes for the pebbles retain heat .

speetbox then associates the linear design very high technological research, which ensures an energy yield of 79 % compared to 70% of traditional wood stoves and produce a quantity of dust considerably lower than in a classic stove, dust monitored through an app available on Android (and within the app Store) that allows you to control and program all parameters system.

If in the past the field of heating systems worked more technological progress than aesthetics, now most of the brand looks to the shape – ultra-flat, round, high, narrow and long – and finishes, from the soapstone stove, from glass to steel.

to translate in furnishing the technologies developed, Speeta decided this year to call an internationally renowned designers such as Philippe Starck. The result is that this stove is among the most interesting news emerged last February at the international fair Progetto Fuoco in Verona, where there has been a real boom among other hybrid fireplaces, pellet-fueled, wood or water. Many interesting news that is worth to know to take stock of a growing market, and on the latest trends. Although winter is over and, at least in Italy, stoves and fireplaces will remain inactive until next fall.

Fashion is increasingly technological – The Post

The Costume Institute Gala the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the event of the season in New York: attracts the attention of celebrities, fashion experts and the national press. This year the sponsor of the exhibition accompanying the event is not a famous brand accessories or clothing but Apple; last year was instead funded by Yahoo. The more cynical these sponsorships will go back to mind the marriages of the nineteenth century between the American heiress and a European aristocrat, from which the bride and groom’s lineage obtained a fortune. Today Silicon Valley puts the money, while the prestige think about New York and Hollywood. The alliance between fashion and technology may seem strange: usually one tends to despise the other. “On the one hand there is the world of technology, which has always considered one of the less fashionable:” we are the geeks, why should we put ourselves in making clothes or shoes? ‘, “Says Dolly Singh, founder and CEO of Thesis Couture, a start-up in Los Angeles who is redesigning heeled shoes, ‘and the other is the world of high-level fashion that snubs the technology: “They want to put lights and gadgets everywhere. Is not that ridiculous? “”.

For the designers who are willing to collaborate with the experts of the digital production techniques technology have an opportunity to develop new aesthetic and functional forms. Unlike wearable devices, which integrate computer inside of clothes and accessories in this case is the technology – not fashion – to be the center. Think, for example, the highlight of the exhibition at the Met “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” ( “Hand x machine: fashion in the era of technology”), which will be inaugurated on May 5 in New York: a dress wedding of Karl Lagerfeld in neoprene with a train from the very elaborate embroidery, which was drawn by hand, scanned the computer and then “pixelated”. Seen from a distance the fancy dress, made up of artificial diamonds and pearls seems a simple Baroque style; looking closely at the work stands out instead to digital.

“For me the technology is a creative tool, not a functional end product,” says Andrew Bolton, the chief curator of the Costume Institute. “The exhibition is dedicated to fashion in the age of technology, not to fashion and technology in themselves; examines materials and techniques that have had practical applications in the field of fashion, such as laser cutting.

The exhibition” #techstyle “, in progress at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, highlights the same techniques. Some remarkable pieces – like a suit of silver leather cut to Giles Deacon laser, or a dress made with digital printing for the collection “Plato’s Atlantis” by Alexander McQueen – represent the luxury version of the processes that have already transformed the look and the perception of the clothes we wear every day. Other “works” seem to haute couture as the symbol piece of the exhibition: a complete formed by a skirt and a cape that seems covered with small rubber shellfish. The outer shell was made by combining rigid and soft silicone plastic sheets, created with 3D printing and then sewn on an inner liner. “In a way it’s a dress made by hand, but has been made using the best technology,” said exhibition curator Michelle Finamore. To realize the full Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen has worked with Blacks Oxman of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which publishes articles with titles like “multi-scale thermal stability of a rigid thermoplastic material based on proteins.”

Collaborations of this type are becoming more frequent. “To make clothes and accessories like this type designers need specialists who have the technological skills and know how to write the code, program and use a 3D printer,” says Finamore. “Successful designers collaborate with those who know the means and the process. Do not just say: “This is the model I want to accomplish. Now someone think of how to do it. ” We must start work on the design and implementation gown. ” The same goes for shoes. A Thesis Couture, Singh has used the contacts he had developed a Space X and Oculus VR to working scientists, engineers and materials specialists who had never worked in fashion, along with experts of shoes, including an orthopedic surgeon and craftsmen traditional shoes. The goal was to reinvent the stiletto heel by using advanced materials and engineering structures. Starting from a mold of the foot Singh, they used a computer model to figure out how to make a shoe with a heel that does not it loaded too much of the body weight on the front of the foot. “It took two years to figure out how to magically reduce the weight advantage of the geometry ‘, thus rising by 80 per cent by weight to about 50 percent. One of the key technologies is 3D printing, which made it possible to test different versions of the various parts of the shoe before investing in molds and expensive tools. Singh says that without 3D printing would never have come at the head of an issue so fundamental, since for several metal cutting need much money. Following the Tesla model, Thesis Couture is planning to market this fall a limited edition of 1,500 pairs of shoes at $ 925, and then go out to do three models from $ 350 to one in the winter, and then collect them from the shelves in spring. It remains to be seen whether a heeled shoe designed by scientists succeed in bridging the gap between the fashion and the technology community. As in the case of exhibitions, however, also he points out that Thesis Couture between the two worlds there is an increasingly close relationship despite the mutual contempt, fashion and technology share the will to experiment and novelty seeking.
