World Television Day
For those of us who grew up in the western countries, the television is almost taken for granted; it has always been there in the corner of the front room, entertaining us with bright colors and sounds, or satisfying our need to learn something new. The television, invented by an assortment of individuals in the late 19th and early 20th century, but often attributed to John Logie Baird, has revolutionized the world.
For the first time moving images could be adequately projected from around the world into the homes of ordinary people, bringing a new level of access to information and entertainment previously only dreamed of. The social and political changes brought about by this innovation were so profound that it was decided to appreciate the medium formally, on a global scale.
The first World Television Forum was staged by the United Nations in the mid ’90s, and it was out of this event that World Television Day was born. The forum brought together leading figures from the media industry to analyze the growing impact that TV had on decision-making and public opinion when it comes to issues of peace and security around the planet.
History of World Television Day
In December 1996 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the 21st of November World Television Day, the same year the first World Television Forum was held. According to the United Nations, this decision was taken in order to give recognition to the increasing impact television has had on decision-making by bringing various conflicts and threats to peace and security to the world’s attention, as well as its coverage of other major issues, including economic and social.
Prior to this people received information via radio broadcasting, if a household was equipped with a transistor radio, and the newspapers. Early television broadcasts followed the same format as radio, with a man reading a simple bulletin on a black and white screen. The technology however soon evolved to include images of events and interviews with people. The monochrome style was abandoned when color technology was developed in the mid to late sixties, and TV technology continues to advance with evermore sophisticated optics and digital enhancements.
However, World Television Day is not meant to be so much a celebration of the electronic tool itself, but rather of the philosophy which it represents–a philosophy of openness and transparency of world issues. Television has long been thought to represent communication and globalization in the contemporary world, but not all of the government representatives present saw matters quite that way.
The delegation from Germany said, “Television is only one means of information and an information medium to which a considerable majority of the world population has no access… That vast majority could easily look at World Television Day as a rich man’s day. They do not have access to television. There is more important information in the media and here I would mention radio in particular.”
Despite this understandable objection, the television has still been an instrumental innovation for humanity, in the same category as the printing press, radio communication, and the internet. World Television Day is a chance for us to appreciate not only the extraordinary technological ingenuity of the scientist and engineers who made seemingly impossible things happen but also to understand the social and cultural implications that such a unifying medium has had on our global communities.
The internet has connected us in ways we didn’t expect and perhaps could not have imagined, but on World Television Day we remember that television was there first, and paved the way for what was to come.
How to celebrate World Television Day
The most obvious way to celebrate World Television Day is by watching television. But what? Surely not vulgar reality shows offering little to no value of any kind to their audience? World Television Day is a time to rewatch and relive some of the greatest moments of television that helped bring the reality of a rapidly technologically advancing world into people’s homes, forever changing their lives and how they perceived the world.
1954 marked the launch of Disney’s “Wonderful World of Color”, a family-friendly variety program that mixed iconic cartoons, drama and documentary programming. The very first televised presidential debate between Republican Vice President Richard Nixon and his challenger, relatively unknown Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy in 1960 changed the presidential elections forever.
For the first time ever, American voters actually saw the candidates present their ideas, which worked greatly in favor of the young and handsome Kennedy, who went on to win the election. And few moments, if any, in television history could ever surpass Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Ed “Buzz” Aldrin’s moon landing in 1969, which many people consider to be a pivotal moment in their lives until this very day–after that, nothing was going to be impossible again.
World Television Day was established as a way of bringing the focus back to these issues on an annual basis. In years gone by, major TV stations have come together on the day to broadcast tributes to the importance of television in people’s lives. The obvious way for anyone to celebrate is to turn on their TV and watch.
But you don’t have to rely on broadcasting networks to bring you ideas of what to watch on World Television Day. These days our television sets are also internet compatible, allowing us to access a range of content suitable to our specific interests, whether they be educational or for entertainment value. It’s easy to use your television set to look up a historical documentary giving you a window into the past or choose a cultural figure who was influential in her time and changed the world in some way. In doing so you will be in keeping with the true purpose of television media, to educate and inspire.
But if you would rather be entertained, why not select a classic film from the Hollywood archives and imagine you are watching it for the first time, as a member of the original audience. Feeling adventurous? Go all out and dress up in period costumes as well, turn World Television Day into an annual event that you and your friends can enjoy planning months in advance.
Those that want to become more involved and have ideas about how to honor the day are welcomed to send their thoughts to the official website.

C'est moi qui vais prendre la grosse tête si tu continues. Fais-moi confiance — même sans larme, je suis rempli d'émotions quand je te vois jouer. Il faut se dire qu'il transpire différemment des autres personnes, c'est tout. J'apprécie.
Ça sera pas choquant si tu prends la grosse tête, ça ira avec tes énormes trapèzes. J'ai lu des tweets à leurs sujets d'ailleurs, c'était fascinant. Ça c'est un joli compliment, je m'accrocherai à ça pour continuer. Différemment c'est le terme, tu as raison.
Pendant vos prochaines interviews, dans vos posts Instagram, ça m'est égal
Mais il faut que vous commenciez à parler de cette réunion. Dès maintenant.
#c#c:cd#ooc: ça c'est ton cerveau qui a voulu te préserver#en te faisant oublier cette horreur#mais je pense que une fois dans l'hotel c'est pas dérangeant#je regarderai sur internet à quoi il ressemble cet hotel d'ailleurs#(oui je veux bien te croire mdrr#courage mon fre)

Dans l'hotel
“Come on, guys,” Ash said, pointing. “It’s… uh… this way, I think? Yeah, down here!”
He paused, checked his phone, then turned around and pointed in a completely different direction.
“...we’re going to end up so lost,” Chloe sighed.
“Vee,” her Eevee said.
“I think we’re already lost,” Goh pointed out. “I don’t know my way around Lumiose. Do you know your way around Lumiose?”
“No,” Chloe conceded. “But I’m not sure Ash knows his way around Lumiose.”
Goh shrugged.
“Yeah, but… he did say he knew somewhere we could stay,” he said. “And we are getting a good look at the outskirts of Lumiose.”
Cinderace looked around, ostentatiously, and Chloe and Eevee both giggled.
“Come on, guys!” Ash called.
“Pika-kachuu!” Pikachu agreed, waving.
“Well, he’s stopped moving,” Chloe admitted, walking a bit faster. “I wonder if that means he found it?”
“So do I,” Goh said. “Let’s go and see – and see if there’s any good Pokémon around there!”
“You’re as bad as him, sometimes,” Chloe said, amused.
“Here we are!” Ash said, halting for a moment to wave up at the building, and both Goh and Chloe gave it a good look.
It was a seven-floors-high building, made of white stone and covered in a riot of ivy and other climbing plants, with verdant trees growing either side. It sat in the middle of a small court, almost by itself, though it seemed to have a connection to the other buildings on either side.
“This looks… kind of nice, actually,” Chloe conceded. “How did you know this was here, Ash?”
“I’ve been here before, I said!” Ash replied, walking up and pushing the door. “Come on in, guys!”
“Chuu!” Pikachu said, bouncing on Ash’s shoulder, then hopped down as the door opened. “Pi-ka! Pi-ka!”
Goh and Chloe followed, their Pokémon at their heels, and entered the hallway just in time to see an enormous man stand slowly up from behind the counter.
“Ash!” he said, sounding quietly pleased. “It’s so good to see you again.”
“Thanks, heh,” Ash replied, blushing slightly.
“Is that man a giant?” Chloe mumbled, staring.
He looked… strange. He had a mane of white hair that stretched down almost to his knees, which made it over two metres tall, and he had a cane he was leaning on. His clothes were oddly patched together, as well, like they’d been made by combining multiple entire outfits to get the right length for the sleeves and trouser legs, and there was a Floette floating over his shoulder in colours that neither Chloe nor Goh had ever seen before.
Then the man folded himself down to a lower level, and gave Ash a hug.
“Look at you,” he said, warmly. “The World Monarch, no less!”
He chuckled. “I’m impressed, Ash.”
“Thanks, Dad!” Ash replied, hugging him back.
“...what?” Goh asked, startled. “Did you-”
“This is your dad!?” Chloe said. “But – uh – how?!”
“Oh, it’s kind of a long story, really,” Ash replied, breaking away from the hug a bit, as Pikachu and Floette exchanged a nod. “Actually, Dad, is it okay if I tell them?”
“Why not,” the man invited.
“So, this is my dad,” Ash explained. “His name’s A Z, spelled with just the two letters, and he’s three thousand years old!”
He grinned. “That’s actually how it is that I’ve looked like I’m ten years old for, you know, about six or seven years? I guess I inherited ageing really slowly from him, it’s kind of lucky it only kicked in once I was old enough to go on my Pokémon journey!”
“But he’s… three metres tall,” Goh objected. “He’s huge.”
“Wait, did you say you – he’s three thousand years old?” Chloe said, at about the same time.
“Yeah!” Ash agreed. “If you think about it, it kinda makes sense, because, once someone’s immortal it’s not like they’re going to get less immortal the older they get!”
He glanced at AZ. “And, we’ve met a couple of times, but – the way it is, is, because it looks like I’m immortal too then we’ll always have time for each other. And other friends are… the people who I have to enjoy time with while I can, right?”
“That…” Goh began, then stopped, and tried thinking about it. “Uhm… I don’t think I ever thought about that, before.”
“Ash knows several Legendary Pokémon,” AZ pointed out, with a chuckle. “I understand he’s talked to some of them about it.”
Ash nodded. “Yeah, it was really helpful talking to Darkrai about it, we kinda had a chance to work it out together… and Squishy, too. Squishy was really helpful.”
“I find that Squishy is always helpful, if you can persuade them to stick around long enough for a conversation,” AZ said, leaning on his cane and sitting back down. “They come around here, sometimes. So does your Greninja, Ash.”
“That’s great!” Ash decided. “Maybe we’ll get lucky and Greninja will show up while we’re staying here – oh, yeah, I was going to say, I hoped that my friends and I could stay here? Is there space?”
“Of course,” AZ replied. “I’m sure you’ll get a better room here than anywhere else in Lumiose.”
“I have so many questions,” Chloe said, faintly.

La storia della Musica
Ricordando Lucio Dalla ❤️
Lucio Dalla muore improvvisamente, stroncato da un infarto, il 1º marzo 2012, tre giorni prima del suo 69º compleanno, presso l'Hotel Plaza di Montreux, cittadina svizzera sede di uno dei festival musicali più importanti al mondo, il Montreux Jazz Festival, dove si era appena esibito la sera precedente. È il suo compagno Marco Alemanno a scoprire per primo il decesso, pochi minuti dopo. I primi a dare la notizia della morte del cantante sono i frati della basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi, la stessa mattina del 1º marzo, su Twitter, esattamente alle 12:10, 23 minuti prima dei lanci d'agenzia.
A due anni di distanza dalla morte del cantante, il 26 febbraio 2014, viene costituita la "Fondazione Lucio Dalla", con relativa ufficializzazione a partire dal giorno 4 marzo 2014. La fondazione avrà sede nella sua casa di via D'Azeglio a Bologna e avrà come obiettivo principale quello di valorizzare l'esperienza e il patrimonio culturale dell'artista.
Trascorsi 10 anni, la città di Sorrento gli dedica un murale.
Il 30 settembre 2022 viene pubblicato Stella di mare, singolo inedito di Cesare Cremonini e Lucio Dalla.
Ti ho guardata e per il momento
Non esistono due occhi come i tuoi
Così neri, così soli che
Se mi guardi ancora e non li muovi
Diventan belli anche i miei
E si capisce da come ridi che
Fai finta e che non capisci, non vuoi guai
Ma ti giuro che per quella bocca che
Se ti guardo diventa rossa
Morirei
Ma chissà se lo sai?
Ma chissà se lo sai?
Forse tu non lo sai
No, tu non lo sai.
Poi parliamo delle distanze, del cielo,
E di dove va a dormire la luna quando esce il sole
E di come era la terra prima che ci fosse l'amore
E sotto quale stella, tra mille anni
Se ci sarà una stella, ci si potrà abbracciare?
E poi la notte col suo silenzio regolare
Quel silenzio che a volte sembra la morte
Mi dà il coraggio di parlare
E di dirti tranquillamente,
Di dirtelo finalmente
Che ti amo
E che di amarti non smetterò mai
Così adesso lo sai
Così adesso lo sai
Così adesso lo sai
(Brano di Lucio Dalla - Chissà se lo sai)
