An old port access gate, which was used in medieval times, is still in good condition.
The weather will be rainy here in the next 2 days. Have a nice weekend 🌧🌦
I took the above picture while I was walking along a neighborhood market of the town. There were many varieties of beans and chickpeas in a traditional market stall. They remind me the importance of eating legumes, which provide mainly protein and fiber. Not to mention of magnesium, copper , iron and phosphorous.
The weather was mainly rainy in late February this year, and fishing boats did not sail. When fishermen can't go to the sea, they mend their nets close to their fishing vessels. Those workers provide bluefish, such as snapper and mackerel, which are a good source of potassium, selenium and vitamin 12. I don't like eating farmed fish, as diseases can sometimes spread more easily in overcrowded conditions of a singular species of fish.
An old typical red brick building, which I saw when in Rome yesterday. That old building helps people remember the construction techniques in ancient Rome.
a lovely image of the iPhone 15 advert.
On the way back I noticed, once again, that the cell phone can be a false companion and a huge problem nowadays, as most people are looking at smartphone all the time.
On the other hand, I think mobile phone makes our lives easier, as it connects groups of individuals sharing common interest and goals.
Last week I saw many clementine trees along a sidewalk of a Naples' residential neighbourhood. I know that clementine is a citrus fruit hybrid between mandarin and sweet orange, which was named in honor of the French missionary who first propagated it 🍊🍊🍊
I noticed that people don't eat fruits grown in public parks and urban areas. Actually, we don't have any information about the contamination of urban soil (heavy metals, arsenic, etc. ... ☢).
Do you think that city fruits are safe to eat ❓ ... In my opinion, many urban soils are not pollutant-free.
Have a nice new week ☀️
The picture below also shows slow trains at Tara Street's railway station, in Dublin (Ireland).
The following picture has nothing to do with trains. It's a tall ship above of the Italian Navy, which is named after the explorer Amerigo Vespucci. It was launched on 22nd February 1931.
On the basis of the current figures, on average 247 Palestinians have been killed each day by Israel. They include 48 mothers each day, which means two of them every hour. And 117 children have been killed every day. In addition, since 7th October hospitals have been attacked every day.
According to international law, reprisal may be carried out in response to an attack. And reprisals are, firstly, activated by illegal act of a delinquet state and, secondly, they must be in propotion to the seriousness of the violations committed by the enemy. But on 7th October the enemy wasn't Palestinian people. Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization that has nothing to do with Palestinian State, as everybody knows that Palestinian people couldn't fund such terrorist organization.
United Nation General Assembly resolutions calling for humanitarian cease fire have been ignored.
In this context, the so called civilized world remains silent.
I have just come back from Naples where I spent one week from 30th December to7th January.
In the meanwhile, on the geopolitic front, in the first week of the new year we have continued to hear of Israel's bombardment on Gaza and Taiwan's provocation. But it seems there is a good news, as Denmark's government has decided not to transfer the promised F-16 fighters to Ukraine. The fact that Western equipment and weapons will not shipped to Kyiv is now the main topic in many foreign media.
