The aim of this blog is to try to highlight some challenges facing the world, such as crowded megacities, poor living conditions, water shortages, dangerous waste disposal, and arrogant powers behind warmongering. I am interested in sharing opionions and reading your comments.

Vegetables out of season's disadvantages
During this first week of September the weather was still warm. Consequently, we haven't to forget to maintain good fluid balance in our body. Many fruit and vegetables that grow in late summer contain high percentage of water. They can contribute to our daily fluid intake, alongside drinking water. Obviously I'm talking about in-season fruit and vegetables that haven't been shipped from other continents.
Donkey remains useful in many parts of the world today. In some Italian villages, located in mountainous ares, those marvelous creatures are used for sheperding and for waste collection due to narrow ancient alleys, where motorized vehicle is impractical.

Typhon kajiki
Unfortunately, a tropical storm battered coastal Northern Vietnam this week unleashing dangerous wind and torrential rains. It damaged thousands of homes. My daugher had already left the Northern part of Vietnam while the typhon was triggering the flooding. Now she's in South Vietnam.
She will come back to Italy on the 1st of September.

Egg's origins
After I had published my previous post, I got interesting comments by some blogging friends. They shared information about their favourite breakfast. Thank you for that. It allows me the opportunity to understand which food can be included in the typical international breakfast.
I've noticed that most Anglo-Saxon people eat eggs at breakfast, in addition to fresh fruit, yogurt or cereals accompanied by beverage like coffee, tea and juice.
How to select good eggs at the supermarket? With the aim to ensure food protection with the EU member states, European Regulations mandate specific requirements for eggs marking and labelling. Consequently, eggs must be labelled at the place of production, and this enables the possibility to know whether the eggs are organic, free range, barn farming or cage farming.
The first digit on the left side on an egg indicates the farming method used of the hens that produced them. In other words, if you notice "0", your egg comes from an organic farm. If you notice "1", it comes from free-range farm. "2" and "3" indicate barn farming or cage farming, respectively.

Well balanced breakfast
It's fair to say that the Italian cappuccino, which is a hot beverage consisting of espresso coffee with steamed milk, contains protein, primarily from the milk used in its preparation. On the contrary, croissants contain carbohydrates.
Meanwhile many tourists continue to flock to the Italian peninsula. The good news for them is that the weather is not too hot and humid this month.
Have a nice Sunday 🍉☀️🍹

Two grasshoppers
This post was inspired by our Scottish blogging friend Ananka, as she sometimes shows marvelous creatures on her blog. I've just taken two pictures in my Mother's garden.

Gazans lives are not seen equivalent to others
Many multinational companies are interested in the two gas fields located 36 kilometers off the coast of Gaza. On the 23rd of March I already wrote a post about the de facto annexation of all Palestinian maritime areas. Israel is carrying out ethinic cleansing and starvation due to the fact that Tel Aviv's next step will the annexation of the whole Gaza strip.
Huge congrats to the Colombia's president, Gustavo Petro, who early this week announced that not a single Tonne of coal will be exported to Israel, as Tel Aviv's soldiers are sistematically dropping bombs on innocent people.
Colombians are not accomplices in genocide and ethnic cleansing. The EU, US, UK, India, China, etc. haven't done the same yet.

Direct participants in Israel war crimes
With regards to the ongoing massacre carried out by Israel, I think it is not a coincidence the fact that since October 7th, 2023, at least 227 journalists have been killed in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and West Bank. Israel's war on Gaza is the deadliest conflict for media workers ever recorded. And it is not a coincidence that Israel's stock market has broken record this year amid raging multifront wars, outperforming the world mayor stock markets. As recently mentioned by the United Nations special rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, Tel Aviv's stock exchange has increased by 179 % "since the war in Gaza began" in October 2023. She also specified that Israel has set up an economy of genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Obviously our media system doesn't spread these news.
In addition, leaders of the so called civilized world are not neutral observers to the genocide in Gaza. They are direct participants in Israel war crimes, providing them with the weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to carry out a systematic massacre of Palestinian women and children. Needless to point out that the US is the Israel military's biggest supplier. That's how would be dangerous an unipolar world, where one state holds a dominant position of power, potentially leading to instability and conflict.
In the meanwhile, the EU decided not to suspend its association agreement with Israel at the Foreign Affairs Council meeting on the 15th July, 2025. This means the EU gives Israel the green light for more genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Regarding on the EU's position on the Russia-Ukraine war, we are witnessing the celebration of Brussels' hypocritical double standard.

Old railway carriages
The photo below shows old talian railway carriages, which will be sent to the railway museum soon. They are so colourful and in good condition, considering those railway carriages were built more than hundred years ago.

Text neck
Yesterday on the way back from Rome the train was so crowded. I noticed that most people where using their mobile phone for extended periods.
The term text neck is mainly referred to mobile phone neck problems. Prolonging forward head posture while using mobile phones may cause neck pain and headaches.
This posture strains the neck muscles and spine, potentially causing long-term damage if not addressed.
In addition to this, I saw that no one had a book or a newpaper in their hands.
The above picture shows a man who sent messages while his poor dog was patiently waiting. He can't say that he loves his dog.
I hope you'll have a nice weekend ☕☀🥐

Newlyweds in Venice
Yesterday Jeff Besoz and Lauren Sanchez's Venetian wedding came to a close with a final star-studded party. The events are estimated to cost about € 40 million, or $ 55.6 million. This figures bring to mind people who are homeless because they can not afford the rents costs.
According to a study by Willian J. Robinson, there were 130,000 homeless people in Los Angeles in 2021, 1,000 of whom died in the street in 2022.
Have a nice Sunday ☀

Orwell's 1984 quote
After I had published my previous post, I noticed that some bloggers shared interesting points of view about illegal immigration. Thank you to the blogging friends who left such comments. They mainly said that EU policy-makers would focus on creating jobs in those Sub-Saharian regions rather than encouraging migration to Europe.
In my opinion, illegal and mass immigration in Europe has been encouraged with the aim of create political chaos, threatening social order and destroying the security of ordinary people. Street protests and civil society movements have been held to promote migration, multiculturalism and supranational solutions. In other words, the aim is to delegitimize nations and their identities in Europe. Actually, it is no coincidence that George Soros and other billionaires openly support progressive causes, such as migration, to engender social disorder in Europe.
The above photo was not taken in a town of North Africa or Middle East. I took it last week in the historic part of Naples, South Italy.
Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, recently delivered a speech in France while he was hosting at an Europe Convention. He said that illegal immigration is a "planned population swap". He also said that our continent is dragged into arms races, wartime economies and unchecked immigration.
His sentence reminds me George Orwell's 1984 quote: "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strenght".

The biggest threat to Europe
One of the main present concern for Europeans remains the identity crisis, as the massive waves of migration in recent years have transformed the social landscape of the continent. Europe is loosing its identity because of such radical transformation of the main European cities.
In this perspective the main point is that members of the EU' political elite have been stealing human resources from North Africa. If they really wanted to help those people, they would create jobs there, in Sub-Saharian Africa.

Advertising at a highway service area
Yesterday I saw this advertising while I was driving across the highway service area located close to Rome. It shows a girls asking motorists to drive slowly and to respect speed limits, as her father is just working on the highway. Working on or near highways is dangerous due to exposure to moving cars and trucks.
Hane a nice weekend ☀️

Forgotten by the world
In contrast with the past, the difference between the holocaust and Palestinians genocide is that US, UK & EU are now complicit. They agree on the genocide of Palestinian people carried on by Israel.

The birthplace of Margherita pizza
Naples' most famous pizza maker is located in a characteristic alley in the heart of the old part of the town. That lovely place has been in business since 1780.
The old pizzeria Brandi is the birthplace of the Margherita pizza. In 1889 the pizzeria owner concocted a patriotic pizza while Queen Margherita of Savoy was visiting Naples. The old pizza maker modeled a new pizza, which he named Margherita, after the colors of the country's new flag: white cheese, red tomato sauce and green basil.
An official plaque still is on the wall outside, as the new pizza won the applause of the Queen.
The fresh white cheese is the main ingredient of the Margherita pizza. That typical white cheese is made from a combination between cow's milk and buffalo-milk. Its name is mozzarella. Most buffalo-milk mozzarella sold in the Unites States is imported from Italy and South America.
In early May I hosted two Canadian tourists from Nova Scotia, Juanita and Mike, who went to Naples after staying in Rome and its surroundings. While they were visiting Naples they learnt how to make pizza. They sent me two photos that they took while they were learning how to make pizza.
I am so glad to see they enjoyed both visiting my born place and making pizza.
