Ercolano, Napoli

L'antica Ercolano fu distrutta nel 79 d.C. ed è celebre per la sorte tragica che la unisce a Pompei. Uno spettacolo a cielo aperto dove vi aspetta un’esperienza unica.

Ercolano fu fondata secondo la leggenda dal mitico eroe Ercole di ritorno dall’Iberia. Sembra essere stata interessata, in principio, da un insediamento indigeno e poi esposta alle influenze sannitiche, greche, etrusche, fino alla schiacciante presenza romana. Sepolta dall'eruzione del Vesuvio del 79 d.C. è stata riportata alla luce a partire dal 1710, quando i re Borbone cominciarono a condurvi i primi scavi. Con il passare dei secoli le attività archeologiche sono diventate sempre più organizzate ed efficaci, recuperando ampie parti di città alla vista di turisti e studiosi. L’area oggi visitabile è stata quasi interamente scavata dal 1927 al 1958.

Provvisto di mura modeste, il centro abitato fu costruito su un pianoro vulcanico a strapiombo sul mare posto ai piedi del Vesuvio, limitato sul lato orientale e su quello occidentale da due torrenti; due insenature fluviali vi costituivano approdi naturali e sicuri. Le dimensioni della città erano in realtà piuttosto modeste: è stato ipotizzato che la superficie complessiva racchiusa dalle mura fosse di circa 20 ettari, della quale sono ora visibili a cielo aperto circa 4,5 ettari, per una popolazione di circa 4000 abitanti.

Nonostante la storia plurisecolare, dunque, gli scavi hanno rimesso alla luce solo una parte della città antica, cosicché gran parte dell’antica Herculaneum rimane ancora sepolta sotto terra, custodendo tra l’altro tutta l’area forense, gli edifici sacri e civili con i loro preziosi arredi ed apparati decorativi.

Introduction

America has a strong tradition of activism, dating back to slave revolts and indigenous uprisings even before the founding of the United States. Today, activism in the US remains critical. Street protests are an essential tool that activists use to raise awareness and push for institutional change. That being said, challenging existing power structures carries an element of risk - exposure can lead to harassment, arrest, or doxxing.

Your personal information is more accessible than it has ever been in the past. In this document, we’ll talk about how hostile groups can leverage information against activists, and what you can do to protect yourself and others. This document is focused on digital safety and information security for activists who have special requirements and risks. Others have written about protest safety in a general sense, as well as day-to-day digital safety. We would be remiss if we did not remind you, DON’T TALK TO THE POLICE.

If you are in a hurry, please begin with the tools chart below. You’ll find information you can use right away! We have also included tips and concepts to make your personal information safer at actions AND in your day-to-day life.

Why should you care? While challenging existing power structures has always carried an element of risk, the wireless digital landscape provided by today’s technology makes it far riskier. Law enforcement commonly works with tech companies to access user data, which the user (you) believed was private. Data breaches expose names and other personal information, which can have ramifications in your everyday life. Our goal is to help you conduct activism safely without bringing unnecessary police surveillance, violence, or threats to your employment to your doorstep. This document is a guide to help you keep control over your own sensitive information.

IN ECUADOR SCONFITTA LA SICCITÀ GRAZIE ALL’ANTICA ECOIDROLOGIA INDIGENA

Catacocha, una piccola città nel sud dell’Ecuador, ha risolto il problema della siccità utilizzando un antico sistema di raccolta dell’acqua piovana di epoca Palta, gli indigeni dell’era preincaica. Situata in una provincia arida con piogge limitate ai mesi di gennaio e febbraio, negli anni recenti Catacocha ha affrontato ulteriori difficoltà a causa dei cambiamenti climatici. La svolta è avvenuta grazie a Galo Ramón, uno storico locale, che ha riscoperto e implementato questo sistema idrico tradizionale.

Nel 2005 la comunità ha ricreato il sistema di lagune artificiali sul Cerro Pisaca, imitando le 250 lagune che i Palta costruirono oltre mille anni fa. Questo metodo ha permesso di stoccare l’acqua piovana, garantendo risorse idriche sufficienti per agricoltura e allevamento per tutto l’anno. Ramón ha scoperto il sistema indigeno durante una ricerca su documenti del 1680 riguardanti una disputa fondiaria tra Coyana e Catacocha. Le lagune dei Palta, descritte in questi documenti, sfruttavano la permeabilità del terreno e la “linea del verde” visibile nei periodi secchi per individuare le falde acquifere. La Fundación Comunidec, guidata da Ramón, ha aiutato la comunità a riabilitare le due lagune principali e a costruirne altre 248 in cinque anni. Queste lagune non solo raccolgono l’acqua piovana ma la gestiscono attraverso piccoli muri di contenimento per ricaricare le falde acquifere.

Il successo del sistema ha portato l’UNESCO a includere l’area nella lista dei siti dimostrativi di ecoidrologia nel 2018, evidenziando la capacità delle lagune più vicine al Cerro Pisaca di stoccare fino a 182.482 metri cubi di acqua.

L' atterraggio.

Oggi, cazzeggiando sul tablet , in treno, ho trovato all'interno della microSD ivi custodita, tramandata da chissà quanti dispositivi fa,

Sto capolavoro superbo che devo aver scaricato ai tempi emule (reato prescritto). L' odio ,la haivre una roba così , in lingua originale.

Inspiegabilmente superbo, nonostante il mio astio eterno per i francesi, la Francia, il francese e la roba francese.

Apparte il doveroso, porcadellamad, caspiterina, quando mi son reso conto che son passati 28 anni dalla sua uscita

C è un uomo che precipita da un grattacielo, e ad ogni piano si ripete fin qui tutto bene, ma il problema non è quello.

Ora considerate perfavore l accelerazione impressa a questa società, e mi si creda lo scrivo senza voler giudicare io, nel 95 guidavo una golf 2a serie e avevo il telefono con la rotelle ed i buchi, l'America era buona amica, e quello meno indigeno del quartiere si chiamava Delfo, era di Gorizia.

Considerando questo

Quanto sarà drammatico

Quanto sarà tragico

Quanto male ci farà, l'atterraggio?

[cullenakingirog]

Paraluman:

Life: 1, 4, and 7. Essentials: 4, 6, and 11, Codex: 9 and 11!

Thank you so much for asking, I'll do my best to answer each one!!

What region in Thedas were they born in? What was their hometown (and their home itself) like?

So I reworked Paraluman's backstory a bit more and I had her be born in Azarinas (Thedas-flavoured Philippines).

Their hometown, (Coincidentally named Montillon after Montilyet), had a large alienage tucked into a corner and gated so that the elves don't get access to specific buildings or that if they were allowed into places like the chantry, they were to sit at the far back or stand during the service while the more aristocratic Azarinos (and some mestizos) get to sit in front among the Antivan peninsulares.

The alienage in Montillon had a chapel built by the Indigeno (the elves as Azarinas was originally elven land) so they would be able to have some freedom as the revered mother assigned to the chapel was at least a kind woman who did not abuse her powers as they were often wont to do among the clergy of Azarinas. There were carinderias for the common people to eat it, street vendors of fans, canes and umbrellas strolling round the alienage and small businesses and storefronts like tailorshops, and some grocer shops that had illegal wares from Rivain and the Free Marches.

Paraluman's home was a humble Nipa hut with bamboo walls serving as a thin partition to indicate different rooms. Paraluman shared a room with her sister. The furnishings were sparse and very functional. There was one bed pushed to one wall, a basin and a jug of water on top of one dresser so the children could wash their face. All their clothes are crammed into the one dresser.

The house has a total of three bedrooms all of which were measured as small as they could get away with as much space as they can outside of the rooms. The outside of their home has a water well outside where they get their bath water, drinking water, etc. Their toilet is also stationed outside their house.

Describe their family. Who were they close to? Were there any particular childhood friends?

Paraluman's grandfather was the unofficial leader of their alienage. He was stern, pragmatic and rather good at making some business connections. With his grandchildren he's fond of seeing them laugh and smile and he tends to indulge their whims on a daily basis. She remembers admiration for him. His greatness, his unyielding courage even when a guardia civil threatened him after he stood up for an elderly street vendor. She remembered thinking how she wanted to bear that courage and anger too.

Their grandmother was a flower vendor who made delicate flower arrangements. She also sold sampaguita garlands to be hung onto statues of Andraste and her followers. They always remember their grandmother tending to her flowers in the garden, light bathed her from behind like a halo. A woman who, for all her nervousness, had the gall to smack her grandfather shyly when he asked for a kiss from her.

Her mother worked for the alcalde mayor as a maid but was made to quit her job by Paraluman's father so she could focus on bringing up Paraluman and their sister when Paraluman had turned seven. She was a beautiful elven woman with curly hair and a kind if not naive outlook in life. Though she loves Paraluman, she still failed her child by excusing her younger daughter's abuse due to her weaker constitution. Paraluman's memories of her mother that stuck were those excuses and the fear instilled in her of magic. There were brief memories of lullabies at night and relentless fanning through the summer nights but Paraluman never forgot her mother's failings.

Her father works at a hacienda of an Antivan family in Azarinas that produces tobacco. He's a short tempered elf who always attacked those weaker than him but cowers in the face of powerful and stronger people. When Paraluman thought of him, it was with fogged memories filled with this burning hatred that she can't bring words to bribe wanting him dead or suffering. Feelings that she tamped down lest the Maker strike her down.

Her younger sister was constantly doted on and favoured by her parents due to her weaker constitution. Despite this weaker constitution, her sister often beat her and stole what little things they had. Paraluman often heard from this sister insults that called her ugly for being born with browner skin. She was never allowed to fight back and was told to simply understand her sister.

Paraluman was a nervous and quiet child, they were often unable to befriend others due to many issues they developed growing up but they managed to make one friend in the past.

He was an elf from Tevinter, he had a sister who he loved and a mother who protected him. Paraluman met him for three months when his master was visiting the alcalde mayor and Paraluman was brought along by her mother for her to make friends with the servants children. She saw him tucked away in a separate smaller room and asked to keep him company, upon learning his circumstance, she suggested he run away to the forests due to the rumours of those running to the forest finding freedom within it. Sadly, he declined but instead asked Paraluman to play. He was the first to say she had a pretty smile when she finally smiled wide enough to show her teeth.

She can't remember his name right but she assumed his name was spelled as Lito.

They promised to one day escape their situations and go on adventures together. Lito insisted on calling her his new sister and that he would protect her from her younger sister once that fateful time comes.

Paraluman didn't wholly believe him but she liked the fact that he made that promise.

Did they ever work a normal, everyday job?

Sometimes, before Paraluman manifested her magic, she would help her mother with her duties as a maid in the alcalde mayor's estate. She often did the sweeping and small errands like fetching ingredients for meals or lighting fires in the hearths of occupied rooms.

She also used to help her grandmother in selling sampaguita garlands in front of the chantry.

What is their moral alignment?

Paraluman is Lawful Good. Unless you betray her, then she will lawfully find a way to ruin your life and take away everything you worked and cared for.

Though really, starting coups and dethroning the undeserving isn't really beneath her if you piss her off enough.

Do they have a preferred weapon they always use?

She always uses a staff but her templar friend, Joseph Terrell, did discreetly provide her with a dagger before she left Kinloch Hold should she be disarmed.

What places in Thedas have they been to? What do they think about places other than their homeland?

Kinloch Hold: Ever since getting shipped off to Kinloch Hold at nine (Since the Penitents' Retreat was so overcrowded child mages would have been trampled underfoot), she saw it as a new home and found friends and a surrogate family in it. Granted, her experience in Kinloch still had her getting issues due to Irving making all her choices+Jowan leaving her to Greagoir and Irving's judgement but it was her own wreck of a home like her first one was.

Ostagar: She didn't form any strong opinions on it really. She was nervous about a lot of things so all she focused on were tasks given to her and didn't allow herself time to process what happened

Lothering: It looked quaint and it reminded her of the alienage in Montillon so the knowledge that it will have the horde of darkspawn upon them made her grieve. She ended up giving weapons, armour and coins to those she wanted to try and save.

Redcliffe: Did not enjoy it beyond meeting Bann Teagan who she found charming. Did not hesitate to snatch Alistair's mother's amulet when she saw it. She strongly disliked Isolde, did not enjoy getting possessed!Connor's bragging about his abuse of elven servants, hated having to hear Knife-ear and the sexism she faced. She only stayed because Alistair wanted her to help and she can't condemn the innocent with the ones who offended her.

Orzammar: No. The Deep Roads were not her thing, Dwarven politics wasn't fun to deal with especially with Harrowmont being sentenced to death and get only highlight was Dagna. Everything else? She did not want to go back ever again. Rip her in the Deep Roads cause of the Architect tho but a good thing came from it at least.

Brecilian Forest: You know those fever dreams you wish you could forget but it got obtained in you? Yeah. That's what the forest was like for her.

Denerim: Would have said it was beautiful but the wanted posters made her dislike the city.

Denerim Alienage: Brought back feelings from her childhood and it filled her with unease and a desire to solve all the problems she could. Offered her aid to Shianni and during the Battle of Denerim, she stayed as long as she could to ensure no city elves were killed.

Amaranthine: She grew to love Amaranthine and after all the changes she made that made it vastly different from the other cities of Ferelden, she was proud of it as it became a powerful and wealthy city that overshadowed Denerim.

Vigil's Keep: It became her home. Where her friends lived with her and where her children were born and raised. Where she gained power and kept it, where her plans of revenge grew amid the love and support she showered upon those that mattered to her.

Soldier's Peak: She eventually returned there to reestablish a stronghold for the Grey Wardens and to have it serve as an evacuation centre in times of emergency.

Do they have any interest in folk tales or folk songs?

Paraluman liked listening and singing along to Azarino folk songs but not so much others unless she grew familiar to it. Most songs she learned growing up aside from Azarino folk songs were religious since her mother taught her to sing hymns.
