Used Stand Alone Tubs

Works great for a great country

the last millennium, Italy was the scene of 30,000 earthquakes. These have resulted in 120,000 casualties and damage in the last century to 100 billion euro in the last 40 years. The high seismic risk of a large part of the national territory (45% in Italy), among the highest in Europe, however, depends not only on the frequency and intensity of earthquakes, but also by the vulnerability of the housing stock in Most regions of historical and artistic importance, but no guarantees in terms of seismic resistance.

A situation that would require some time a correct classification of the area (only recently defined and agreed) rules and appropriate legislation on earthquake risk in the municipalities. Only September 14, 2005, with severe delays on dozens of past earthquakes in the name of the 27 children who died in the dramatic collapse of the school of San Giuliano di Puglia, was launched the decree defines "technical standards for construction" in seismic areas . Finally, the legislature sets the rules for the safety of old buildings and new construction in the towns at risk.

But with Italian style, from that moment began the transitional phases, extensions, referrals to postpone the entry into force of the law, the latest being in February 2009, which refers to the whole in July 2010. Extensions which, thankfully, exclude strategic buildings such as schools and hospitals, but, given what happened at the hospital of the Eagle, however, have not been applied or, at least, have not been met. Currently only 14% of buildings in seismic zone is built with security policies, and if now begun to rule the new development in 20 years we would still have 82% of homes insecure. Action is therefore needed as soon as possible, not only on newly designed buildings, but also on the structures and ancient monuments.

is true that the costs of actions to secure the Italian heritage could be around 200 billion euro, but it is also true that all the technical and economical analysis show that intervening before the earthquake would generate a savings of at least 40-50% of the cost of a seismic event, not to mention the number of lives that would be saved in this way.

Moreover, as already outlined in the "House Plan" of the Government, the effort this could act as a push to market the building and not in crisis. So, given the possibility of harmonizing laws that allow the timing, procedures, capital and control in public procurement for the so-called "Great Works" as the bridge across the Strait, divert attention and funding on the part of a "Great Work of prevention" like that which would alleviate the Italian seismic risk, could be the real solution for the future of Italy and its citizens.

blame Eva

The United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women describes as unacceptable "any act of violence based on gender causes or is likely to cause physical damage , sexual or psychological, including threats of violence, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private. While affirming the right to equality has long been an integral part of human rights, solo nel 1993, a Vienna, con questa carta il tema della violenza contro le donne entra nel dibattito internazionale. Sono passati 16 anni da quella chiara presa di posizione, ma la violenza nei confronti delle donne rimane tutt’ora presente nei Paesi industrializzati, come in quelli in via di sviluppo, senza differenza di ceto sociale o culturale.

In Italia, la percentuale di donne che hanno subito una violenza fisica o sessuale raggiunge il 32% e per la maggior parte l’artefice è il partner o l’ex partner. L’incidenza è maggiore per le donne separate e divorziate e nella quasi totalità dei casi le violenze non vengono denunciate. Ma non sono solo le forme fisiche della violenza to affect the female population: 2 million women undergo behavior persecutors (stalking) and 7 million are victims of psychological violence. To all this we must add more labor and sexual exploitation of immigrants in Europe, the phenomenon of trafficking for prostitution or forced labor. But in the third world, the situation is even worse abuses, abductions and murders take place in the total indifference of the authorities, who show absolutely non-compliant in taking the appropriate actions to not only prevent but also to investigate and punish those responsible for violence. Much of the girls did not have time to be born: it is "deleted" at the time of delivery.

The adolescent may be the "prize" to be reserved for combatants or a useful means of extracting information. During the Bosnian War were 20,000 women raped. During the civil war in Sierra Leone almost all the thousands of women and girls abducted by rebel forces during that conflict were raped and forced into prostitution. Not only that in Rwanda, scene of one of the most tragic massacres of the century, women raped, dying of AIDS. Even in the genocide in Darfur, thousands of women and girls were raped and infected with HIV. These facts, as other equally dramatic, such as female genital mutilation, discrimination against women to access to food, health and education, prenatal sex selection and the lack of birth registration could be the cause of the disproportion between male and female population that exists in certain regions of our planet. The origin of time, God wanted to give a companion to man.

The man decided to punish her, however, considering the cause of the loss of Eden. So, over the centuries, women were humiliated, raped, beaten, enslaved to have inherited from their mother is to blame, and the unfairness and immorality of Eve. It is "likely", however, that the real cause of this tragedy resident other reasons: the ruthlessness of the human race, perhaps in the characterization of hormonal, sexual and characterization of the difference in mechanisms of survival of the ancestral species. Of course, today, the man should be aware that, thanks to that apple taken with courage and curiosity, Eva has led to the conquest of knowledge.

The industry analysis of the war

In a society where tribal wars, armed conflicts, civil wars, disease, trafficking are on the agenda, the population reaches high levels of poverty that we in the West can not and even imagine the plight of children these areas is inextricably linked to this poverty.
poverty can not be quantified with a measure of income per capita gross domestic product and debt of the country. Poverty mainly evaluated through the analysis of elements "quality", as life expectancy, infant mortality and literacy rates. A well maintained by the poverty of the Western world who now lives on the shoulders of the third.

When we address the issue of globalization we must ask ourselves how this should be addressed above all we should analyze what all this speculation, perpetrated against the weakest, but never return anything, can be profitable in the long term. Today there are 225 individuals in the world possess one million dollars each, the sum of the income of 2 billion and a half of the poorest people on the planet. These represent 47% of the world and most of them are actors, authors and victims, the largest industry of all time: that of war.

In ages past armed conflicts were mainly triggered by the attempt to govern in an autocratic manner territory. With the increase in capacity to trade the human race has grown more reasons to be more "economic" as the control of gold resources and wealth. Today, at a time “globalizzata” è la motivazione energetica a spingere maggiormente l’innesco di un conflitto armato.

In ogni caso è sempre il connubio fra potere e ricchezza da un lato e povertà e degrado dall’altro che genera nell’uomo quel cinismo che permette di calpestare chiunque, donne e bambini compresi. E se molti passi sono stati compiuti nella stabilizzazione democratica dei governi, che permettono di ammortizzare le spinte individuali verso la ricerca del potere, molto però deve essere ancora fatto nel rapporto fra capitalismo e mercato internazionale, fra capitalismo e mondo povero.

Come il principio della cooperazione allo sviluppo dovrebbe imporre, sarebbe opportuno innanzitutto abandon the idea of \u200b\u200baid for its own sake, but that must and will necessarily give way to future plans that will enable poor people to create an economic and social development "from below", of emancipation, self-sustainable projects with micro-entrepreneurship. To achieve this it is necessary that governments, NGOs and all stakeholders involved in social as they realize the only way, the only pick that can break the vicious circle of poverty, is to defend the right to education and vocational training. Required

will then open up the international market, both for raw materials, and energy. This section would avoid the triggering of actions aimed at control of deposits and their distribution channels. One aspect that clearly impeded by the presence of numerous "signs" conflict of interest by local and international, and political exploitation by religious and not least by the interests of the military industry.
But if it is still utopian such a conversion you should at least require the signatory states of the cards and the application of international conventions protecting human rights. We have a moral duty to return the children to their rights. Not those rights imposed by the adult but, listening carefully, those expressed by the children themselves, so that we should no longer speak of "children's culture" but a "culture of childhood"
