is significant, though not surprising, to discover that the Israeli planners it is easier to steal Palestinian land and running the risk of being prosecuted for violation of international law, rather than deal with the needs of Israeli citizens who would complain about the excessive proximity of the railroad to their homes or the devaluation of the property, or the worsening of air quality and the view from their windows. It seems that its internationally recognized borders of Israel are totally insignificant in the eyes of Israeli engineers, which can then cross them as soon as this is convenient or easier for their projects.

alarm Women of Afghanistan: The Kabul government imposes its control on the houses
The Italian Coordination Support Afghan Women (CISDA) denounced the law promoted by the Council of Ministers of Afghanistan in January 2011 according to which within 45 days of its entry into force of the shelters for abused women will pass by the Afghan NGO management control of the Afghan Ministry of Women Affairs (MoWA).
Il Decreto accoglie così una precedente decisione della Corte Suprema Afghana – l’organismo legislativo più oscurantista del paese – che ha dichiarato reato l’allontanamento delle donne da casa per rifugiarsi nei centri di accoglienza per donne maltrattate gestiti dalle Ong.
La decisione della Corte Suprema Afghana già limitava la possibilità delle donne vittime di violenza di appellarsi agli organismi giudiziari.
La legge prevede inoltre la chiusura di alcuni rifugi, l’accompagnamento delle donne da parte di un mahram (parente maschio o marito), l’insegnamento della religione islamica e l’obbligo per le donne accolte di sottoporsi a costanti “esami medici” per il monitoraggio della loro attività sessuale. Il governo afferma che la gestione da parte del MoWA garantirà una migliore gestione dei fondi e una migliore scelta dello staff interno.
Riteniamo che questa misura sia stata presa solo per compiacere i fondamentalisti e i Taliban, con cui si sono avviate delle trattative; così, i rifugi sono stati accusati di essere case di prostituzione e si è scelto di tenerli sotto controllo.
Questo avrà conseguenze disastrose per le donne vittime di violenza:
The Karzai government, established and actively supported the US-NATO military occupation, not distingue certo per il rispetto dei diritti umani:
E l’Italia?
Between 2001 and 2011 the Italian government has invested hundreds of millions of euro in the project of reconstruction of Afghan justice. We ask the Italian government and political forces that supported and still support the military intervention in Afghanistan to explain how the funds have been invested to rebuild the Afghan judicial system, since in recent years have been enacted laws that penalize heavily rather than promote, human rights and the rights of Afghan women.

Questo avrà conseguenze disastrose per le donne vittime di violenza:
- Nessun parente di sesso maschile, men che meno il marito, accompagnerà mai una donna maltrattata in un rifugio: nella maggior parte dei cases are themselves the architects of the violence from which women would escape.
- Rape in Afghanistan is a source of shame and rejection to the woman. If the medical examination proved that the woman was raped, once under the control of the government would pay the victim rather than accepted.
- If a woman flees a forced marriage because, once the refuge would be denounced by the government itself, because away from home is considered a crime.
- The girls sent home would be living in disgrace and exclusion, if not directly executed, as evidenced by several cases of stoning took place in different parts the country in recent months.
- If the family asked the woman to return home for any reason, including forced marriage, the staff of the shelter could not refuse. What's more, many of the women from shelters, are accused of adultery in their communities.
- Afghanistan is one of the most corrupt countries in the world: there is no guarantee on the control of any funds allocated by international agencies to assist women victims of violence.
The Karzai government, established and actively supported the US-NATO military occupation, not distingue certo per il rispetto dei diritti umani:
- nel marzo 2009 il governo Karzai ha firmato una legge intesa a colpire soprattutto le donne della comunità shiita: secondo questa legge, le donne non possono rifiutarsi di avere rapporti sessuali con il marito e non possono recarsi a lavoro, dal medico o a scuola senza il suo permesso.
- Nel marzo 2007, il governo Karzai aveva provveduto a garantire l’amnistia per tutti i crimini contro l’umanità commessi in Afghanistan negli ultimi vent’anni.
- Nel gennaio 2007 il giornalista Parwez Kambashkh era stato condannato a morte da un tribunale di Balkh, dopo esser stato accusato di blasfemia a causa delle sue idee sulla parità dei diritti delle donne. Benché Parwez, a seguito delle pressioni internazionali, venne graziato, altre decine di giornalisti versano nelle medesime condizioni.
- Nel luglio 2006, il governo Karzai ha reintrodotto il “Ministero per il Vizio e Virtù”, tristemente noto già sotto il regime Taleban.
- Le organizzazioni afghane che si battono per i Diritti Umani denunciano inoltre le continue pressioni da parte del governo per legalizzare il sistema di “giustizia informale” (tribale) all’interno del quale è prevista la lapidazione delle donne.

Area Authors: Felideus
is a digital artist who has nothing to envy to those who make traditional Felideus (born in 1977, English) was art director and graphic designer, animator, and is now a freelance illustrator.
Its atmosphere is unique, with a predilection for steampunk and warm and not overly saturated, often surreal.
His characters are very expressive and detailed minuziosamnete machines and landscapes.
By his own admission, Arthur Rackham is one of the authors who inspired him (and say little!). Thanks to Alessandra

Area Authors: Maurice Sendak
Ero molto combattuta se scrivere questo articolo inserendolo in Spazio Autori o Storia dell'Illustrazione.
Maurice Sendak è infatti un personaggio leggendario nel settore dell'illustrazione; nato nel 1928 iniziò come illustratore per vetrine e poi libri e quando acquisì maggiore sicurezza divenne anche autore e in seguito decise di dedicarsi anche alle scenografie teatrali.
Insomma un eclettico al 100%.
Tra l'altro ha vinto nel '63 la Caldecott Medal, di cui avevamo parlato proprio nell'articolo dedicato a Randolph Caldecott , con il suo capolavoro "Nel paese dei mostri selvaggi" che lo consacrò come autore e illustratore di successo. In seguito ha vinto molti altri premi non da meno, tra cui l'Andersen sette anni più tardi e la National Medal of Arts nel 1996.
Di recente un progetto ha coinvolto diversi artisti per delle illustrazioni tributo.
Sendak ha avuto una vita controversa: di umili origini ed emigrante negli Stati Uniti (la sua famiglia era polacca e di origine ebraica) è divenuto illustratore anche per un sommarsi di fattori personali: si avvicinò all'illustrazione e ai libri per l'infanzia proprio quando passò molto tempo malato a letto per non affaticare il suo cuore.
Una sua citazione recita:
"Perché my needle is stuck in childhood do not know.
do not know. I suppose it's where my heart is. "

Which Parrots Are The Most Affectionate
The practice of conscious meditation changes the brain structure in 8 weeks
ITS McGreevey - Massachusetts General Hospital
Participate in a program of mindfulness meditation for eight weeks seems to make measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, perception self, empathy and stress. In a study published in the Jan. 30 issue of the Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, a team led by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) reports the results of the research, before certifying the changes over time of meditation on gray matter of brain.
"Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of tranquility and physical relaxation, practitioners have long argued that meditation can also produce cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day," says Sara Lazar , Ph.D., of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program, senior author of the study. "This study shows that changes in brain structure may be the root cause of some of the best references and that the people feel better not only because they spend time relaxing."
Previous studies of Lazar's team and others had found differences structure in the brains of habitual meditation practitioners and individuals who had never practiced, looking at the thickening of the cortex in areas associated with attention and emotional integration. But those investigations could not prove that these differences were actually produced by meditation.
For this study, MR images were performed (MRI) of brain structure of 16 participants two weeks before and two after taking part in the Stress Reduction Program is aware of 8 weeks (MBSR) at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts.
addition to weekly meetings which included the practice of mindfulness meditation - focusing on non-judgmental awareness of sensations, feelings and moods -, participants were given audio recordings to the practice of guided meditation and were asked to keep track of time spent each day to practice.
were also performed MRI of the brain structure of a control group of non-practicing meditation at the same time period.
The participants in the meditation group reported having spent on average 27 minutes a day practicing awareness exercises, and their responses to a questionnaire on awareness have shown significant improvements compared to pre-participation responses. The analysis of MR images, focusing on areas where previous studies were no differences associated with meditation, has identified a greater density of gray matter in the hippocampus, important for learning and memory, and structures associated with perception of self, compassion and introspection. The reduction in stress reported by participants was related to the decrease in gray matter density in the amygdala is important for anxiety and stress. Even if you have not seen any change in the structure associated with self-awareness - call-insular cortex or insula, identified in previous studies, the authors suggest that it may be necessary protracted practice of meditation to bring about change in this area. None of these changes was detected in the control group, and this indicates that they were not derived solely from the passage of time.
"It 's fascinating to observe the adaptability of the brain and that, by practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing and we can increase our well-being and quality of life," said Britta Hölzel, PhD Research, first author of the essay and academic researchers at the MGH and the Giessen University in Germany. "Other studies diversi campioni di pazienti hanno dimostrato che la meditazione può portare significativi miglioramenti relativamente a svariati sintomi, e ora stiamo indagando sui meccanismi impliciti del cervello che facilitano il cambiamento".
Amishi Jha, Dottorato di Ricerca, neuroscienziato dell’Università di Miami, che indaga sugli effetti del training di consapevolezza su individui in stato di elevato stress, dice: "Questi risultati fanno luce sui meccanismi di azione del training di consapevolezza. Dimostrano che lo stress vissuto in prima persona non può essere ridotto semplicemente con un programma di consapevolezza di 8 settimane, ma che questo cambiamento esperienziale corrisponde a cambiamenti strutturali amygdala, a finding that opens the door to various possibilities for further investigation of the potential of MBSR (Mindful Stress Reduction Program) to protect against stress-related disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder. "Jha did not part of the team of this research.

Hello to all old and new readers!
As you can see I decided to give the blog more as a clean, fresh and functional.
News:
- Page Bio and contacts "has been removed but in the right column you can find our names and addresses (including email, of course.) I take this opportunity to reiterate that stuff from you Designers also and above you, so do not hesitate to contact us for recommendations on authors, events, initiatives. As I mentioned in column right, for "reports" does not mean "self promotion" but the report authors particularly appreciated. Authors Area is designed to raise awareness of professional illustrators who can be a great example and inspiration. For now we have not yet thought of a promotional space, and remains valid, the rule that to promote their artistic activity can always be used, the wall of the Facebook page.
- history of illustration now has a page all to itself, with the alphabetical index. Currently there are no pictures of the reference index as the authors of space, may be added.
- Categories: posts as "utility" on signaling events and sui più svariati argomenti legati all'attività di disegnatore sono dispersi nei molti post, ho deciso di aprire oltre alla Rubrica "Disegna di più" (che trovate sempre nell'indice rubriche come prima) anche quella che raccoglie questo tipo di post, ma è in lavorazione per il momento.
- Per quanto riguarda la navigazione, ho raccolto i tag (argomenti/categorie) più frequenti ma non sono tutti per motivi di spazio.
A prestissimo per nuovi interessanti post! :)
