“We all are a bit Primitives”. I made this remark some post ago and it comes from simple observation, it does not matter from where you come from: if you look for intimacy and ambiance chances are that you will find yourself searching for that particular spot or restaurant that can offer candle light. Many light cause us wonder and that can be seen also during a concert for example, a chorus of cigarette lighters all on at same time.

It took some time to me to realize what would mean, what the perceptions are, about being “Italian”. From an external point of view I mean. History brought us evolution and migrations that, always relative to Time in absolute terms, going so slowly, anyway colonized the World from an uncertain departure point and it keeps going.
We know a bit more, we do not know it all, yet, anyway.

When I had to decide a “best approach” under the communication point of view I decided to test it first using Wordpress. It was good choice. I just decided to try make it a bit better using addons and some tweaks to make it usable, translations, make computer work for us rather than vice versa (that is what it should be)

Then it was the time to bring to Life the website/blogs for this particular Project - the “1908 New York - Paris” Race - and had to decide the approach.In Italian?, In English?, The Made in Italy only?,What about the rest of the Race?.

I thought it over for a bit and the first major points were “There is more Italy than what you can imagine” (Zust, with umlaut, is a perfect sample of Italian car with a non Italian sounding like name), while the other point is that this Quest produced books dedicated to all Italians in the World. Since written by someone who actually did the round of the globe, can you still think that Peace in the World is a “Utopia” maybe coming from an interview with a Miss World contestant? I would say just the matter to wish it.

Diversity yet Respect, Individuality yet Common goals: we all lodge on a rent basis on HeartH so.. back to the basic question: how should I make the blogs? First of all there should have been one talking about “The Race” (all of it as much as possible) and this should be www.newyorkparis.org. In English just to choose a platform from where automatic translation could step in.

Italian Team, The Made in Italy, of course should be in Italian (and why not,a push to learn some bits of language) even if English could have made sense. But since not many Italian really know about this Race - and speak English - Italian was the choice for “www.1908newyorkparis.org/blogita”.

But what about Italians maybe at generation two or three, not speaking Italian anymore or in full? What about those feeling Italian at HeartH, from food to lifestyle to.. else? This is why “www.1908newyorkparis.com/blogenu” had to be in English.
to offer a further “Rosetta stone” as it happened for Egypt. Just digital rather than rock.

I found amusing to discover that probably there are more Italy enthusiasts abroad rather than in Italy itself. Last year I was amused to offer what I consider the best Cappuccino (the drink, not a monk) in town to an Australian Italy specialist and see she would decide she should take a picture of it. Whatever I must say that even if the picture could seem fine the taste is even better. But most of all, by travelling, I could see a general attitude of scare or pessimism or else. Since 2001 WTC, I could identify. We needed something positive, something able to counterbalance and make us glad to be living on HeartH in this particular era and pass it on to the ones who will follow, the next generation. The 1908 New York - Paris Race sounded to me a wonderful occasion. By Now even the Olympic torch flies.. why not make it go on classic cars, each in each country, as a relay race, every time on a slightly or very different track? Once at the border it is handed out to the next and so on…. Fast but not too fast. Relay. Fairplay.

Now I must go, we will be at Concorso Italiano (www.concorso.com) yet still must write to “a few” Nations… and the calendar must be made official… will you join us?

Nostradamus & Nostra…Domus, The Night of Falling Stars

Posted in July 9th, 2008
by trawell in Tourism


It is nearly 10 of July 2008. In Italy (and not only there) it is considered the “Night of Falling Stars”. And Desires to wish on a particular night. Mostly Powder from Comets where, just looking at them, you can see what Speed we talk about. All is Relative of course and even there maybe it is our HeartH speed to make them look so quick. Much as when you sit on a train and the one nearby start moving. The impression it is ours moving… just illusions.

It was with extreme disappointment I learned that some Countries decided not to undersign a document,a treaty where all would agree to reduce pollution “in 50 years”. It is a step, 50 years, but probably many nature signs to say “Please Hurry” - such as the melting of North Pole - and the treaty could have said “from tomorrow otherwise we will not make business with the ones who will not sign”. I know maybe I have my illusions but you know what, it works if all decide to talk frankly and co operation are put to good use. Common Sense says why produce if People, workers each in own country, will not be able to purchase through decent jobs ? Globa but Local=Glocal.

The video I decided to “put up” on the Weblog is “Oh Happy Day” in a gospel version. Something showing which power any song has if more than one sing. If anyone leaks dioxine anywhere, sooner or later it will fly abroad…

Many struggle to try see what Nostradamus said about the Future yet all forget that HeartH is “Nostra..Domus”. “Our House” from Latin. Since the project I undertook include an event that can be put to positive use Internationally, and an accent on wastes or pollution somewhere in Italy, it is quite interesting that our Carpet on the Fire filled Tennis Ball called
Hearth” (Nostradomus) has many rubbish hidden under the carpet. If you dig a put wastes under our feet no difference than doing the same in our House with our Carpets. But we have wastes also in our body, under the carpet: “I Radical Liberi” (medical term).Last but not least we have wastes flying above our Heads is Space. WHy not bring them down in a controlled way and recycle? Mistery.

So, please, will you all undersign and start from tomorrow? I still await Argentina to pay back the money they got as “investments”. Giving (cellulose) papers not to be honoured or terms not met froma Country it is not launching a fashion - postive I mean -. About what I feel about FInance, Italian Parmalat should be closed, even if it has not been. They had a long past of not meeting what promised. Even in Tourism. Triplano was the name of a piloted bankruptcy. Anf they kept doing it. According to what the Law say: have all things been seized including house where management was (or is) living? If the answer is “no” then we have discrimination. actually, Discrimination uppercase “D”.

Ethics, common sense, Fairplay, capability to do Business with a shaking hand gentleman style, where are they? It is Educational. Transparency. Especially considering that both sides of the World philosophies have failed in evident ways, leaving many disillusioned People. Humans. This is why since the beginning this blog was aimed and dedicated to all Women, Mothers, for the sake of Next generation(s).

The speed of the worldwide tour was so slow. It is interesting to see that some cloned the idea. But we have prepared many events at least up to 2011. You can call and listen, and agree or not but evaluate. Especially when it comes from an Investor it can be considered as bad as (or is) Insider Trading. Consob in Italy or else should intervene ar AGCM (Italian Agency for fair concurrence). Re putting to good use the box “suggestions” is something but rewarding Ideas is much better. Despite ethicsa declaration many Companies have closed doors and this is not good for the Company itself. If you decide to invest on one or more Companies there is a special partnership and the aim, sharing risks, is common: It is unusual when you send a communication and nobody answers, yet in a hurry try to clone ot take ownership of a “indipendent” Idea. Passion is the keyword. And Potential also, after it.

I was reading about the factor and percentage about IT industry policy about recycling and pollutions. Until “computer motherboards and/or mobiles” will go on a grill in the open air to recycle noble metals..we all are at risk: does not matter where you live.

We all are so primitives, we like good food, fireworks, or lights seen from a hill if not jus a candle on a table. The spirit of Pioneers seems gone. All wished to have email now that we have it, many prefer not to disclose theirs…If all would play cards up probably we would avoid wastes (spam) also in Internet. But for some - fortunate not all - feeling so “high” means “you must search me” and not viceversa…So listen to a most Beautiful Italian Song: “Cercami” (seek for me) actually, in three verisons. It you translate in Italian who knows, it might give you positive shivers. Enjoy.

The Sphinx Enigma II - In The Name of The Rose II

Posted in July 1st, 2008
by trawell in Historic Cars & Events, News, WE Blog Rewound


The famous Enigma of The Sphinx was solved so I thought if there could be a follow up due to modern times: the one could be “what tool Humans can need starting with four of them, then two, then 2 to 4, then maybe 4 or none”. The answer could be “The Wheel”. Since (if you are lucky of course since somewhere there is no chance) you could start riding a bike with two small helpers… then be able to ride it. Then your choice if a motorbike or car including three wheeled ones. Finally a Wheelchair, again 4 wheels,… if you were unlucky.

I liked the Centennial of 1908 New York - Paris immediately. 48.000 Km (or translate it in miles) were the most ancient Cannonball race possible at the Time. Of All Times maybe. Ina Olympic Year. In the Name of the Rose (red or white?) since it was the painting of a rose my grandma on mother side was given when her son was killed at 14 after torture. In the name of the Rose can also mean to learn safeguard Books, Knowledge, as well as put Passion and Enthusiasm in all you happen to do, with a special social accent. We are networked and we need mediation to, as soon as possible, talk. Row in the same direction. Nobody excluded. I liked the hypothesis of someone that we should be “United” - That is why I mentioned something about my background, to avoid misunderstandings since I had mysterious unknown doubts about many things:my Passport made me live the movie “terminal” situation, before than that was stolen, then returned. I liked the desert and Tourist singing the train of Tozeur even though I could see there two white 747 and no train. By now it has been restored. I asked a guide for the pictures of 2007 Festival of Sahara: I hope he will maintain his word. - “Unity” or “Unitall”. It all start with Unit. So it is not so positive since give the idea of individual. Good point but with maybe.. Humanity? is. Does not matter if at single Brain and HeartH level. “A macchia d’olio” will work wonders if Genuine. “Hyper networking” will be never enough. “Market-in” rather.

Since I always have in mind “If” by Rudyard Kipling and “The Praise of Folly” by Erasmus, it was just natural I would end up in a hospital for 20 days and see specialist doctors after. You know what? It made sense to rehearse. Someone said “You go 1500… you must learn to slow down, run at 1000 so that others can keep pace”. I did not find nice to give voice to my inner thoughts.. “yes I already learned that lesson.. if at birth Time I had sit on a bench and let all the other millions of runners overtake me saying don’t worry about me I would not have born in this troublesome Life”. I do not think the DOctor meant doublemeaning about the cc of the car since I did already 500 and this time is 7200+. “Why are you in a hurry?” was a question. Simple because in 1908 things went speedier than today. Or so it seems. I particularly liked the idea, another hypothesis, of what a Person as Gandhi could have done if having new communication technology things. Maybe we have many Gandhis and many Antonio Scarfoglio but… but… Sure is HeartH wants our attention. North Pole is “moved” (emotions) and crying or melting to give ourselves a message. If it keeps going this way we will end up useless carrots of ice in a big (or small) fridge. If you give away your computer and then it is grilled somewhere else to get back metals, the air will come to us sooner or later.

1st of July 2008: The Project has started and will from tomorrow morning be prepared the document PDF 1.1 (and so on) with individual contacts. Supporters, Moral or Material are all welcome. A Presence to China Olympic Welcomed. Involvement starting from all the Companies mentioned in Assets and Countries where any have branches too.

To give you a bit of Enthusiasm see the following after the Odissea Veneziana video above: La Serenissima that follows. That should give a hint about what we need to do.Contact as wished, forweard link to this blog similarly. The new webiste of the Project www.newyorkparis.org. has started with the other two variant. Including straight Italian one with links from there. WE blog. There is always a Horse that seem going slow then at The Last Minute…succeed.

V.I.P. = Very Italian Professional ?

Posted in June 30th, 2008
by trawell in Food for thought, Issues, News

A MACCHIA D’ OLIO. Dedicated to Lorenzo and his Parents.

I am sorry I did not make it in Time and the post where I mentioned went Lost. But wished to express Condolences and I have done it in one of the posts that went attacked - still there in a backup sql file I managed to rebuild -.

I have another reason for having undertook this Project and this is very personal since it relates to MS (Multisclerosis) and my Father who died although not of it.
I recall we explored all possible solution and even the mentioned “Lorenzo oil” together with E vitamin rich pills (out of Onagro or Primule. a flower). In the case of the Lorenzo oil it was forbidden to take out of the States unless you decided to become a smuggler putting it in shampoo bottles or the like. The Onagro pills were common in the UK, so in Switzerland, less in Italy. So special travel to get them.
The devastating reality is that in “some occasions” when you are hit and decide to become very determined you are left alone… alone with your decisions to explore new paths. A bit the reason of the escape of brains abroad, as they call it. If more would be helped with better networking we would benefit in many areas towards a better and happier living. If you are “fast” and “forward” they sometimes will decide to slow you down…. Remore… like the fish attaching to bigger ones. Lets’ swim without remore.

We all are Ambassadors of the Country we have on our Passport or we were just born. Especially when abroad. This is the message I tried make feel aware of many tourists I happened to be in contact with. It is not rare the occasion where we spent some time even just for the sake of a nice talk. I am not going to make any politically correct or not correct statement. Italian is as any other Country Person. We tend yet to have different habits, as already said. I liked a lot the following by Bruno Bozzetto (dates back to 1999):

(Either JavaScript is not active or you are using an old version of Adobe Flash Player. Please install the newest Flash Player.)

I must admit something has changed since 1999… something, I did not say all. Sometimes you can get to see Italians in a line while waiting their turn. The efficiency gets at its tops when we talk Football. Managers are released immediately if they did not win a Cup. Some managers in a Team are released immediately even if they won. One minute of silence is the maximum you could get in memory of a tragedy. If the same approach would be taken about “all the rest” I guess we would be… wow… It was not to mix a clash of themes. It was just to try put a motivational smile and a new energy for tomorrow to my dear reader.

Disclaimer: do not feel safe if you are not Italian. I can still mention the Cling film mistery: in the Uk is labelled with warnings about the possibility of cancer if put at direct contact with cheeses or fats. Not so in Italy. We ALL went through a Chicken fear syndrome. I found interesting that in the last recent times much canned food, fro animals or humans, is about Chicken, homogenized food for infants included. I recall a warning about asparagus and 37 years since Chernobyl to be “better” to eat them. Before they were nearly rare food, now everywhere. Are we aware of what we do or tomorrow we will not remember what happened today, let alone yesterday?
If you are a field owner do not make wind blow genes on the neighbour field. We are not sure yet that flying very fast at 88.000kmh AGAINST the Earth rotational speed will bring us in the Past.
My 2 cents.

Wargames & Sim City (SC2K) &… Tech

Posted in June 30th, 2008
by trawell in Food for thought, Humour, Issues, Kritik, News, Tourism

sc2k

Let’s talk about Movies and Games, I said that earlier but some posts went lost so I have to repeat a bit. We are 3D. As Humans but also Animals, Plants, We all have a physical size on this physical size Hearth, even our Heart - and Earth -.. HEarth to short a bit the two concepts. HEartH to be a bit more precise.

Often if we want to represent our Generation as results of what (amd who) we were, we cannot (we could not in the past..to be precise) find a better solution than drawing a Tree. Can you imagine a 3D Tree including places and all relevant and relative to Time in absolute terms. We are who we are. In fact thinking - see nepotism, the ius primae noctis - see Manzoni the writer - or different but similar concept, where the son, of the sister of the uncle of the grandfather of…., has special accesses to careeers or business or .. politics… hmpf… I said it again.

The movies Wargames (despite or extremely chosen appropriate name of a nice movie - or at least I enjoyed it -) showing two concepts in one. What a “small” brain can do and what is better not to do (War or enter other property systems ina apublic or hidden way does not matter if for commercial or “other” reasons). We need to open Windows a bit and let some fresh air come through. I remember that in the past for a while, amongst intellectual and artists, it became fashion to open a small hole in their crane (the hyper piercing could be called). It seemed it gave some different sensations… You know what? That particular area of our body in Italian is called “Fontanella” (small fountain). Now scientific research says that all could be originated by a common shape. A stick. a stick whose top has a fountain and much as stalactites and stalagmites would deposit sediments over sediments. According to Dna and/or Genome (sorry I am not a scientist)
we would have ourself or a butterfly.

When my reading out of a “Readers’ Digest” book years ago became the Project with lots of things falling in place - 1908 New York - Paris - especially when I could read the book in Italian by Antonio Scarfoglio, (”away to lunch”)-(”back from lunch”), and even before that discover there was an extraordinary accent of Italianity - The Made in Italy - in a Global yet Glocal International worldwide context and challenge. The World was not made in one day. Italy neither. And even here Antonio Scarfoglio had a role, together with his Family.And mine (Family), and Yours. Yet there are still Nations without physical space..without Country, or viceversa. The nomad Gipsies, but also the people from Fiume, just two samples, you mention. I could imagine also the Beduins that have the desert as theirs. Just because nobody likes to live in a desert? Yet I could see people somewhere without “nothing” but having all, and feel Happy. It is hard to say they do not exist. I am no “Mr Messerschmitt” as someone calls a “I-know-it-all” person. Labelling People is the problem.
Then you must bear in mind what are the warnings from the past. “Sometimes” Pretexts originated a war. See again that movie in the subject of this post. And “The lawnmover man” (Il Tagliaerbe). Orwell,
Fahrenheit 451, Rudyard Kipling, Shakespeare… if you are short in time LISTEN to what you will find browsing www.trawell.com/50 at the “Once in a Blue Moon” Page. There is a mp3 from more qualified People than me. Please go there now. Listen. I would say, if I can, make more than 2 shake their hands to get what Gustavo Rol says.http://www.gustavorol.org/zeffirelli.mp3 As soon as possible. It is in Italian so you will need an Italian or a translator knowing also Italian Culture in an updated way.

Once upon a time… there was telegraph. Then telephone, radio, Tv…. now we are in another critical step.. wireless. It dies not matter if you call it Wi Max, Wifi… I just remember an old number of electronic self teaching (I can even sold properly…) where there were talks about Gigahertz transmission. You could transmit and connect two point as far as 5 Km at the time. I recall a warning though… and it was about eyes. Never look into this trumpet shape tweeter (much as audio…) because you could have retina damages they said. Now we talk Giga everything.. are we sure there is no damages somewhere in us? When someone tries to sell something you are not extremely sure about I am used to ask the seller.. “would you give it to your children and feel safe for the next 5000 years it will not affect 1 second of their life?”. It seems odd but it works.. you get “funny faces”. I guess I have covered the three topics of the title for now… time to make telephone calls…

Thinking it over during other activities some further reason to mention a specific version of SimCity (2000) came was at the origin of posts. It is very Educational and Very difficult to “go through”. You can start your town in the past and make Time slowly go by or run very fast. A “trick” I learned (much better game than Monopoly or Risiko for example to talk other educational games in the meaning that you learn a lot about many things at once) is that the town will grow better if the Power (not in the meaning of you being the Mayor) is taken out of small dams. Clean Power. In the Project I decided to undertake or “give a hand” (or two) Wastes is something that disfigure Naples. Not just Naples, really. We have wastes under our feet, very close to our resources, we have wastes in us making us “oxide” hence get old, and, last but not least, we have wastes above our heads. Floating in Space. The Sun is our Power. Thinking it over I asked myself: why we do not trade power: Sun is shining so much somewhere - too much maybe - and can give Electricity. Wind is blowing in some other places. Water is falling too much in others. Yet we all go out buy our Water. Why don’t we trade Solar electricity for Water where is missing. Potatoes for Flowers and viceversa. Chicks for artisan work…. Tourism makes you, us, aware. If Genuine and sustainable. Why don’t we bring down all that iron flying up in space there today and recycle it today? Animals do not have voice but I am sure they would agree.

&

While finishing off the new www.newyorkparis.org website to receive material, first of three, I would like to repeat - see loss of data by an attack - that this Project is, since worldwide, dedicated to all ICAO coded airports and the persons to whom the airport - small or big - is dedicated to.
A big thanks to all supporters in a undertaking aimed to bring Smiles and Culture. Using two hands up not to surrender but to shake them with your neighbour. Can you make it?

P.S.: I took a maple leaf as a sample earlier… Please note that in 1965 The movie “La Grande Corsa” was delivered and… The famous flag with a Maple Leaf on it became the official Canadian flag. Musically.. well… “The Maple Leaf” Ragtime, by Scott Joplin, in the version of album “Emerson Lake & Palmer Works - Volume II”, Keith Emerson with the London Philarmonic Orcherstra. Now I will go back to hear “Rondo’ Veneziano “Venezia 2000 ” because is energetic and I must finish some web work, by the way their music was what I was listening when… the Important is that Venezia and all town, really, north or south, east and west, will be feeling - and BE - safe. I guess soon we will need also to include the Ice melting speed daily weather news and all get involved in it. Otherwise.. Adagio by Albinoni.. while sinking. Please note that the Instant hit, at the time, “The Maple Leaf Rag” will also give opportunity to celebrate anniversary to Scott Joplin and all his masterpieces.. so.. do not shoot on the pianist. (pc keyboard this time, although a music one can be connected but… dear analogic….)
