Game 01 - Wari

'm starting a new series of posts here, which I hope will be long and fun, and that the game will have as its topic. It may seem odd, but I think one of the most important of human experience, and therefore falls entirely in the spirit of the founding of this blog, that give value to things precious. The game is not just something for children, let alone an activity or a futile waste of time. I think I can say that the game is the reason why we are who we are. It is no coincidence that children soon after birth, begin to interact with their world through play. It is not something restricted only to the human species. Anyone who has had the opportunity to have some puppies will have noticed that a significant portion of their time spent playing together. This is because there is evidence that the game allows players to train and strengthen all those activities and skills that will be essential in adult life. Cats, for example, playing with puppies, they learn to move in the environment, to hunt and interact with their peers. It is no coincidence that children who spend a lot of room for small group games are more sociable and more likely to be in the company. Similarly, games that stimulate brain activity make it more active and productive in the world of work. It also demonstrated that the activation at an early age more nervous systems simultaneously, as required by complex games, improves intellectual abilities. In short, play makes intelligent, smarter, more active. This is why I think the game should also be part of adult life, in all its forms. Personally I find it very beautiful in those pictures where they see older people playing cards sitting in the shade of the afternoon. If I decided to open this book (let's call it that), it is because the games have a story and, one by one, I would like to share these stories with those who will read these pages.

Game 1 - Wari

The first game of which I speak is the Wari. It is one of the many board games that are practiced in many parts of the world. It is also known by the name of Mancala and has been played for thousands of years in Egypt, where traces have been found in excavations of the pyramid of Keope and the temples of Karnak and Luxor. The game spread to Asia and Africa, where Arabs make some variations. In this way, transmitted to the European travelers of the nineteenth century, becoming known to Western cultures. The simplicity of the materials needed to play the Wari has determined the prevalence in the poorest countries. For example, African children are used to play chess in dug directly into the ground, using small pebbles or stones as pieces of fruit. According to tradition, Wari is played for fun or for the prestige it offers, never for money. In some regions even has a religious significance. In Suriname, the family of a deceased Wari to play the day before the burial, to rejoin the soul of the dead has not yet been removed, but at nightfall they stop, because if they continued the ghosts, attracted by the game, this would take away their souls.

Wari The tablet consists of two rows of six cavities, plus two cavities at the ends, which serve only to hold the captured pieces by each player and may well not be there when each takes his tally aside. Each of the six cavity is filled with two rows of four small objects such as seeds, pebbles, chickpeas, etc.. In its turn, the player picks up all the pieces in one of the six holes of his field of play and distributes them, one by one, into the holes next clockwise. In this way, during the game, the cavity may contain a number variable parts. The goal is to be able to deposit one or more of the pieces taken from his side of the opponent in one or more holes that contain only one or two pieces. When this happens, the player who places his opponent's pieces in the boxes, which now contain two or three pieces, captures all that is in those boxes and keeps them from par you as his prize. The game ends when all the holes in the side of a player are empty and it is his play. In this case, the other player has won all the pieces in play early, or putting them aside as catching or holding them in his field of play, and will be the winner of the match.

Lucca Comics & Games 2010

second experience at Lucca Comics, which is confirmed to be an exciting event for people like me who is passionate about the world of comics and graphic arts and narrative in general. Obviously, the excitement and wonder of last year are somewhat 'diminished, after this year I knew what to expect, but even so I came back pleasantly pleased. To begin with, to work and study reasons, many of my friends is currently away from Sicily, Lucca has meant that we can review and spend four days in the company, and even for this it is worth it. Second consideration, if you live in a world like mine, where the cartoon and animation market is relegated to small niches that barely survive, agonizing in the difficult economic situation, a fair like that of Lucca is a breath of ' oxygen, providing a quantity and variety of stuff that is hard to describe. Third, and last but not least, we are the authors, that people used to think of them as abstract figures only devoted to drawing, much less real characters who make paper, represent a considerable attraction. On this last point, however, I would like considerations. As I was

see someone, a fair like the Lucca Comics, one of the most important events in Europe related to the cartoon, one might expect some big name anymore. Indeed, the sudden and unexpected absence of Grant Morrison has stripped the show of one of the big attractions of this year. However, from here to say that there's just nobody wants! Just to say a couple of names, have not seen Mike Allred, Gary Frank, Ken Niimura, Scott Morse, who certainly are not newcomers in the scene of the comic world. In addition, Add to this, a large group of Italian authors, working both at home and abroad, who have enriched the various stands with their presence and their sketches. This is perhaps one of the sore points of this year, if we see it purely Italian view of the fair. In fact, there is no one who designs for free. Until last year, enough to approach a guy with a pencil and make a little worse 'tail for a drawing. At best, the editors asked the author to house to buy the book presented as news. This year, however, not only the latter has become a rule, but also begins to take off the habit to the committee, in the same style of American convention in which the authors, out of their booths, a sort list prices depending on the type of design required. From one point of view, it restores dignity to a work that was being viewed as something due in respect of those who approached the stand, when in other places, for the same type of work, designers are overpaid. Second, however, we must come to terms with the illusions of those who, with eyes ecstatically, look at those lines come out from your fingers and take the form of beloved characters, and you see this private pleasure from the fact that no can afford to pay fifty euro or more for a drawing.

Just in this speech is part of the pleasant surprise of this year, that is the stand of Drawers, a clique of nice p ersonaggi who decided to take only a small space dedicated to the design. Unique merchandise for sale, prints of these authors, who alternated in different times and made drawings to all those who bought just one. As a reward to those who bought a folder with all the Halloween themed prints, participation in the final draw of three groups of original, in which, to my delight, I was the first to be raffled off! But beyond the prize, the thing I was really glad to find a cheerful and fun, just like I expect it to be a place where they are born comic. This is where I met Daniela, Alessia, Luke, Sabrina, Henry Andrea, Elena, and many other masters of line and color. All in all, it just that I'm trying to Lucca to know the people who create the dreams. And then, to paraphrase a well known advertising, see DDM eating a croissant at nine o'clock in the morning while drawing is priceless!

"a possible alliance of convenience"

Today Camillo indicates a post from The Politico that "reads the participation of Jim Steinberg, deputy assistant secretary of State, the conference center of the studies of Bill Kristol and Bob Kagan Foreign Policy Initiative unambiguously titled " Restoring America's leadership in a Democratic world " as the start of a possible alliance of convenience between Obama and the hawks of democracy. "

It's not a stretch of the famous and neoconologo neoconofilo: the post, which appeared yesterday on the blog of Ben Smith, is entitled" It makes the court to the neocons? "And says - not even question it - just that "There's an alliance of convenience Between President Obama and interventionist elements of the Bush administration."

What a coincidence, right now that fox Bob Kagan comes out with his monthly course in the Washington Post explaining the length and breadth of that parliamentarians should not make jokes and Republicans must vote approval START the new treaty on nuclear disarmament, US-Russia really wanted the White House.

not over. Back in the blogosphere - where we often sblilancia to write what I still do not dare to propose on paper - the day before yesterday Federico Rampini noted on his blog that his Republican on tour in Asia these days (which according to Thomas Friedman be read at key anti-China containment) Obama has "chosen to visit only of democracies. In fact, the four major Asian democracies: India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea," and helping to draw the consequences rather drastic:

"With Obama U.S. rediscover "the alliance of democracies", or a foreign policy that is also based on values. See the launch of a "global partnership" with India immediately followed by the demand that New Delhi condemns the sham election in Birmania.Dopo two years of foreign policy Obama seems to have found a new log. Consequently also for disappointment every time he had tried to follow the old senitieri of realpolitik (the "G2" with China sank immediately, the terrible disappointment of the Karzai government in Afghanistan). "

a free shot? It will, however, the day after his colleague Economist has blogged exactly the same thing, noting in his speech before the Indian Parliament Obama (shamelessly speaking mother-in-law daughter in law because it is) has posted a congratulations to the fact that the Indians "rather than being seduced by the idea wrong is to assert that progress at the expense of freedom, have dedicated themselves to building those institutions on which democracy depends ", so that India has failed to progress " democracy, not despite, but thanks to democracy ", and one held immediately after the University of Jakarta sottlineare wished that the progress made by Indonesia " show that democracy and development are mutually reinforcing ".

The murmur, then, is almost unanimous that pulls air bushiana but certainly not saying Clinton, Obama in the sense that the 2.0 seems to want to brush up a little at least the tendency of global leadership" pro-democracy " that in the first two years seemed to have been shelved paraculescamente (or rather muted, but never openly denied ).

Included, according to some, the old idea of \u200b\u200b"Community of Democracies " (that, I mean, they liked much to Emma Bonino a few years ago, and is summarily snubbed Ineco as "unworkable" by Emma Bonino version PD ).

We'll see.

How To Find A Shiny Pokemon In Pokemon Deluge

debut for the Italian Norwegian writer Anne Holt, who with this novel is its rightful place in the genre of detective novels from the literary flavor. From the few lines but incisive biography on the back cover, we understand that its not only a passion narrative but also professional. Graduated in law, but with a history of TV journalist, who worked with the Norwegian State Police, a lawyer, a little digression to a couple of years as Minister of Justice. Since his literary debut in the early nineties, has met with much favor by audiences and critics alike, winning even the most prestigious award for the Norwegian crime novel, The Riverton Prize. "What you deserve" is the first in a series of investigative thriller starring the detective and criminologist Stube Vik.

In the cold of Norway seems that everything has to move in the slow and monotonous routine that is expected of the Nordic peoples, but the reality is much more complex than we expect. Disappears when a child without anyone noticing, taking the concerns of parents and local authority searches, but there are many hypotheses about the disappearance. In most cases these are small children running away from home too bright and self-confident. When the number begins to grow and children are not the concern rises and they begin to speculate much more serious and distressing, especially if you do not get any ransom demand. When a couple of parents receives a mysterious package that turns out to contain the corpse of his son, with a note on where we read the enigmatic phrase 'Now you've got what you deserve', the issue becomes a case of criminal police. But the investigator Yngvar Stube not know where to turn, as the children abducted and found dead did not seem to have no connection with each other, as well as their parents, places where they are missing and the circumstances of the kidnapping. Perhaps, it could help Johanne Vik, a person who is responsible to analyze everything that happens in the minds of criminals. That's how you put together an unlikely team of detectives in which the human experience and perceptiveness of the law will mix the logical speculation - the woman's psychological research. And time is running out, because as the murderers who killed the children usually do not stop by themselves, they want to be stopped, and since missing a corpse, there is the possibility that the first missing child is still alive.

Moving in a see-saw between the psychological interpretation of the characters and action scenes, Anne Holt weaves a subtle texture and varied, alternating currents of more than one narrative, which converge at the end. The investigator's troubled past Stube join the complicated life of Joanna and her daughter Kristian, and a court case many years ago, which has aroused the curiosity of criminology, and in which an innocent man has served a year in jail and I hate social for something that has never committed. But in the last pages of the novel, creeps a suspicion that Aksel Seier has paid in advance the sins someone who can no longer be punished?

Children do not have to die. They have no concept of death. They struggle to live instinctively, like lizards threatened that if they are ready to give up the tail. All creatures are genetically programmed to try to survive. Even children. But they have no concept of death. Children are scary things concrete. The darkness. Strangers, perhaps, be separated from their families, the pain, the sounds frightening, the loss of an object. Death, however, is incomprehensible to a mind not yet mature. Children do not have to die.

MINNESOTA AND THE' COME

Tsunami Republican, or perhaps more properly the mega-collapse of democracy, has come all right - but "sensational balance" (but please).

To understand the scope midterm outcome of these should be borne in mind that at stake were not only all the seats in the House and a third of the Senate (which is renewed in the U.S. 'banded'), but also to 39 of the 50 governors plus many other important elections, "local", beginning with the parliaments of the Member, plus the mayors of towns and cities, the judges (which in many states are elected by the people), and so on.

one that until recently called Republican opposition was that even at these levels: in addition to a large Dem majority in both houses of Congress were also to command an absolute majority in States, both in terms of governors - most important - as a local parliamentary majority (which in turn determine the operating space of the Governor).

addition must also be considered - and I do not think the commentators are doing it at this time - that the former opposition now is not in great shape (as was, for example, in 1994 when Clinton suffered the comeback Republican Revolution), by contrast, is divided, disorganized and lacking leadership dramatically.

Yet, it went how it went.

In the House, to recover enough Rep to replace the majority of 39 seats. By 1994 the had torn 54. Today, we are guaranteed at least 60, at least twice as much as Larry Sabato foretold this summer.

This is the biggest republican parliamentary election victory last century, we must go back to 1894, at the time of the second election of Grover Cleveland to find a superior record. Trumpet as well as some "steel" as Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and a member of a panel of Missouri since 1976, when Obama was a high school in Honolulu.

Now everything will change. As just one example will now be the "Young Gun" Paul Ryan to head the crucial House Budget Committee, chair that until now was occupied by Dem John Spratt as the seat of South Carolina from which they were dethroned after almost thirty years (meaning he had won 14 consecutive elections).

In the Senate, where opposition of 41 senators out of 100 has a de facto veto power over all important issues, the ballot Rep ongoing credit if they have already seen no less than 46. Dem I have not lost the absolute majority but have passed since the "supermajority" (which had already lost earlier this year with the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts) to a narrow majority of five or six senators (of which a is the one with the gun ).
In Chicago, sweet home Obama and the Democratic stronghold for decades, the Dem have also lost the Senate seat from 2004 to 2008 was that of Barack Obama (that, to be clear, that the infamous Blago had attempt to sell), which had strongly supported Obama in the Dem candidate had reserved his final campaign rally on Saturday. Not only that: they have also lost the seat of Springfield, the capital of Illinois, symbolic city from which Obama launched his candidacy in the primaries , where the incumbent MP was ousted by a rookie "everyman" supported by the Tea Party, father of 10 children and owner of the pizzeria none other than St. Joseph's Heavenly.

As for the Dem governors, who until recently it held an absolute majority (26 out of 50), have lost about a dozen states. There are many. It means that now three-quarters of U.S. states will be governed by the Republicans. Among these few crucial to win the presidency, such as Iowa, the quintessential swing-state Ohio (the neogov. Republican former Fox News host John Kasica ) and Pennsylvania. The MidWest

is now fully governed by those Republicans who just two years makes data were reduced as a regional party in the Deep South

But the most impressive peak was recorded in the election of parliaments "local", that should not be underestimated.

An avalanche of red state parliaments in these proportions was not even in the days of Reagan. In a dozen cases have Rep. won a majority in parliament where the opposition had until yesterday to be an eternity.

In Texas, the second state after California to population size (and the most promising of all for economic viability), after the 2008 elections concurrent with the election of Obama to the White House, the 150 seats in the local Chamber of Deputies were well distributed and 75 75 Rep. Dem; today are now 99 and 51 Dem. Rep.
Moving north, was a "worker" as Minnesota, where the young Republican governor Tim Pawlenty (particularly this name and this heard a lot about next year, when approximating the Republican primary) is juggling a local parliament for decades firmly in the hands of the Dem, and this morning 'wake up even with a Republican majority of 87 to 47.

As for the "Tea Party candidate, very banal, did well when they were good candidates, and it hurt when more or less" unpresentable "emblematic, respectively, the victory of Marco Rubio, Florida, and the defeat of O'Donnell in Delaware and Paladino in New York.

The last great Democratic stronghold is California, the largest U.S. state by population but also for the bureaucracy, tax burden, the excessive power of trade unions, environmental regulations, particularly public debt, it resembles more than any other to one of old Europe. There, the Republic have lost both the challenge for the Senate seat, where the former super manager of HP Carly Fiorina failed to blow the sailed boss Democratic Barbara Boxer, who for the governor's chair, that the Republican "anomalous" Schwarzenegger will not a new face, but the 72enne Democrat Jerry Brown who had long ruled the Golden State shortly after Ronald Reagan. The challenger super manager Meg Whitman of eBay and Disney, which complicates his considerable personal finances has spent on his campaign more money than anyone else in their rtasca history, has lost ugly. Ricordatevene the next time you ripetereanno who wins the election in America's richest (a prop: it seems that overall the elections in qesto Dem. Rep. To have spent most of the note).

summary:

"Somewhere along the way, who was the apostle of change it has become the target, overwhelmed by riding the same current which had been brought to the White House two years ago. "
