The Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix)

Class: Birds
Family: Phasianidae
Genre: Partridge

Originally from the Steppe, immigrants in our area where it was cultivated frequently met in the fields and dry meadows.
In Italy the environment that best allows it to live and reproduce is quite localized: Piedmont south of the Po, the northern and central Apennines to Tuscany.
The partridge was also present in Valpadana, Umbria and Maremma, Marche and Lazio, but the changed conditions of the environment (agriculture intensiva o, all'opposto, abbandono dei terreni collinari, caccia, inquinamento) ne hanno decretata in alcune zone anche la scomparsa.
La sua eventuale presenza è dovuta, talvolta, a "maldestri" ripopolamenti annuali che quasi sempre sono del tutto negativi, soprattutto se effettuati in febbraio-marzo.
La scomparsa di idonei habitat, e qui mi riferisco alla Provincia di Genova (Italy) ove risiedo, rende inutili eventuali tentativi di reintroduzione di brigate di starne allo scopo di ripopolare "naturalmente" i territori circostanti. Si consideri inoltre che gli animali immessi, nati in incubatrice, allevati a mangime, trattati con antibiotici, al momento dell'immissione sul territorio hanno pochissime possibilità to escape the hunger and the harmful.

the partridge and the Seasons

For each season a lifestyle!
In March, the pairs are formed, and being monogamous, will remain united until the death of a partner.
pick the place where the nest, mark the territory driving out the intruders.
The female lays her eggs in the nest, located in a small hollow in the ground and lined with grass or hay, in number from 8 to 15. Are incubated 23 to 25 days and the chicks are lively and shelled early, they remain in the nest of a few hours, just enough time to "take power". Immediately following the lessons for parents of life, not easy, as many are the enemies of this bird.
In case of danger, the mother pretends to be hurt and you chase dall'assalitore away from the brigade to return the children when the enemy is distanced.
Brigades, compact, if sbrancamento are called urgently to the reunification of the group.
The partridge, while granivores, does not mind worms, insects, snails and berries. Rarely drink the dew that collects enough grass. In September
:
"spend the night among the culms de 'beans, they sleep in October in the plowed fields, the first glow of dawn rising the wakes, their Testiccioli out from under the wing covering it, they shake their feathers ruffled, they call each other and nearby companions say ' ( Ghidini )

MALE OR FEMALE?

The sexes are distinguished by a chocolate-brown stain in the shape of a horseshoe, in the abdomen of adult males.
The plumage, for both sexes, at both the top and reddish brown on the back sovraccoda. Tinta tawny-white on scapulars and coverts wing. The head brown, streaked with brown, gray breast with variegated black and brown, abdomen white, gray-brown legs.

IN CONCLUSION ... "The face" ...

Dreaming a partridge: unrealizable desires. Numbers of the dark: 58 to 81
Dreaming many partridges: happiness. Number: 36.
... Sweet dreams everyone!

What Information Can A Telescope Collect

Boris Spassky

Public
this nice article on Boris Spassky Fabio Lotti, published in the past in the magazine "Chess Italy. I remember that these articles are published following an agreement with the publisher, so it is prohibited the distribution or sale. Happy reading!

no denying it. During the match against Fischer for the world title in 1972, held in cold Reikjavik, I was among those who are waving the American ace. Spassky not even considered. He had been placed there to be sacrificed on the altar of the goddess Caissa. Period. Even if he would do anything, and he did, to prevent the Holocaust. Then, as often happens in life, I'm a little 'sorry that kind of hatred against not only a great champion but also a great man. Always peaceful, open and decent. And its existence, like that of many other samples, not è certo stata tutta rose e fiori. Anzi, se c’è un elemento comune a tanti cervelloni della scacchiera, e se ne sarà reso conto chi mi ha seguito nei miei “profili”, è proprio il contrario. E il nostro Boris non fa eccezione. Nato il 30 gennaio 1937 a Leningrado si ritrova, da piccolo, nel bel mezzo della seconda guerra mondiale. La famiglia è costretta a fuggire a Mosca per ritornare nella città natale dopo cinque anni. La tragedia la spezza. I tre bambini, di cui egli è il secondo insieme ad un fratello più grande e ad una sorella più piccola, rimangono con la madre maestra, mentre il padre, ingegnere, si disinteressa quasi completamente di loro. Il rapporto con gli scacchi è casuale, impara le moves to five years, nine enrolled at the Leningrad Palace of Pioneers, where he begins to play in a systematic way. And most importantly, have the fortune of an instructor who understands how Vladimir Zac and indulges his talent. Boris is a mix of emotion and coldness and after a defeat could be angry and even cry. His reputation began to rise after 1950 with a series of good results to achieve third place in Amsterdam in the Candidates tournament in 1956. But it can not definitively explode, as has been emphasized by the major critics, to a certain psychological immaturity, and why not enjoy the full favor of the Palace and help students who want to follow more docile and malleable. In 1963 he left his coach Tolush, too hot, replaced by Bondarevsky and the results are good! USSR Champion in the same year, won ex aequo with Smyslov, Tal and Larsen at the International Amsterdam, 1964. Keres defeated in 65 (six to four), Geller (five and a half to two and a half) and then Tal (seven to four) mainly thanks to a cuff invented by the lanky American Frank Marshall on which sooner or later we must mean something, going to challenge Petrosian in 1966. "Knackered the goal?" he asked someone affected by the strength of opponents and the hardness of the meetings. Tired, yes, but not defeated. It is prepared properly, he thinks he will use his strength being youngest, is enthusiastic and optimistic. But he has to reckon without his host because Petrosian is not been watching. Here's what confides in an interview with Yuri Averbakh when the match with Spassky is to finish "My preparation began long before the match. Spassky had not yet finished the final of the Candidates with Tal that I had already worked with my coach to prepare a detailed plan. At first I looked at my games under the microscope, then I went to Tbilisi for a close examination of my potential opponents. Once you clear that Spassky would have been better, I returned to Moscow and I immediately developed to analyze the matches ... "(more than Petrosian the boundaries of the theory of "Prism, Rome 1998, pag.197). Spassky fought well, but loses resists 0:30 to half past eleven.
In the second battle for the world title in 1969 our Boris, even stronger than before (remember that he got rid of the pretenders to the throne of the likes of Geller, Larsen and Kortchnoi) even able to analyze and understand the psychology of his opponent's behavior during games: "In 1966 I find it hard to understand the state of mind Petrosian's, but in 1969 I could understand his every move. Everyone knows that among many other players make a move a few steps around the table: when Petrosian was afraid of me, for example, walking up and down with proud and haughty air, like Napoleon, but when instead walked quietly, I knew that at that time was very dangerous: it was like a tiger who was crouching, ready to attack. For me it was important information. "(" The word to world champions "by Yakov Estrin, Prisma, Rome 1993, pag.145). It is not a walk because our Tigran has always been a rock but the score 0:30 at half past ten leaves no doubt. And 'at the height of success, his play "universal" praised by all. They come like pearls its stunning victory over Larsen in Belgrade in 1970 and, in the same year in Siegen, the one against Fischer . Already Fischer. How did it go in 1972 in the cold Iceland everybody knows that. It 's been said and repeated often misrepresent myself and also sang his paean in honor of the great Bobby in a previous "profile" dedicated to him. They sit in front of the Hero el'Antieroe for excellence, democratic, open and free America against the closed, dull, oppressive Soviet Union. 're Welcome to delight all fans squared of this world and mass media fanfare to sound more high-sounding chorus of Aida. A real global success for chess ace and the American is crowned with twelve and a half points to eight and a half as was predicted by the American Byrne! Spassky does its part and can not do better against a fury the prime of his life energy. The "Challenge of the Century", reported by Mario Monticelli in a book by the glowing red cover of Murcia, has crowned its king Beautiful, elegant, arrogant. That will not keep its promises.
Spassky, however, does not give up and in the first qualifying match for the candidacy for the world title held in San Juan is completely demolishes the American Byrne (yes, one of the fatal prophecy!) With a score of +3 = 3-0, and begins very well against the young Karpov defeated by a beautiful Sicilian. That is also the last, because Karpov after repeatedly adopts tough Caro Kann, challenged his illustrious opponent. The contest ends quickly with a dry +4 = 6-1 which does not allow.
From this moment life is normal chess with Spassky typical of that of many other great masters victory surrounded by some pretty poor performance, and I do not even want to dwell on the pathetic revenge played with Fischer in 1992 (reference, if anything, the curiosity of reader to the book "Twenty years after Fischer-Spassky" Pein, Levitt Davies and published by Prisma). Not worth it. It is worthwhile, however, emphasize the genuine and sincere personality of this standard "anti-hero", his instinctive sympathy, his intellectual curiosity, ranging from art to literature, his innate courtesy. Her open smile in person perbene. Della quale, credetemi, c’è tanto bisogno.

Profile: Emanuel Lasker

Claudio Reggiani mi ha inviato un ottimo articolo sul grande Lasker. Si tratta di una traduzione da questo pezzo in lingua inglese pubblicato su chess corner. Vorrei però spendere qualche riga sul bel progetto di Claudio, il sito Giocare a scacchi . Si tratta di un ottimo spazio sul nostro gioco con articoli che affrontano l'argomento da un punto di vista sportivo e teorico. Non mancano funzionalità extra come la scacchiera d'analisi, il forum, sondaggi e tante altre belle cose che vi invito a scoprire da soli. Il sito è ben curato anche dal punto di vista grafico. As for this space I can finally say that although officially starts in "short version" in the sense that it will remain constantly updated, but not with the formula of posts daily. Probably will also change the concept, but I prefer not to anticipate anything. For now, enjoy the article about Lasker and come back tomorrow to read a new profile Fabio Lotti!

Emanuel Lasker was born in Berlinchen, Germany December 24, 1868 (now Barlinek, Poland). His chess teacher was his brother Berthold, more than eight years old, who played a few tournaments in the early years of 1880 and 1890 and proved a strong player for his time. Meanwhile, Emanuel attended school in Berlin to develop his mathematical skills, to refine the University of Erlangen. The two brothers were poor, but soon managed to earn some money against other local chess players in chess.
in 1892 reached its first major success in a small but strong tournament in London, where he arrived with the first half points behind Blackburn. Lasker then played a second match against Blackbourne and his uncontested victory convinced him of the chance of becoming world champion. He then challenged Tarrasch, but the invitation was declined, because the professor had not yet won a major tournament.
Lasker went to the U.S. to challenge for the world title Steinitz, divenne Campione del Mondo di scacchi all'età di 25 anni a Montreal e fu capace di mantenere quel titolo per 27 anni, il periodo più lungo di un campione mondiale di scacchi ufficialmente riconosciuto. Comunque, ci sono alcuni dubbi su chi fosse il miglior giocatore. L'opinione generale era che Steinitz, all'età di 58 anni, perse a causa della sua avanzata età e della sua insonnia. Tarrash disse: "Secondo me il match Steinitz - Lasker ha avuto un'importanza maggiore rispetto a quel che si meritava." Il fatto che Lasker non abbia vinto un importante torneo, prima dell'incontro contro Steinitz, non gli ha permesso di proclamarsi Campione del Mondo facilmente. Tarrash, che aveva avuto il miglior risultato nei tornei, richiese un titolo separato. A new league began in 1895 and Hasting is believed that the winner would have been Lasker, Tarrasch and Steinitz. Surprisingly, the leader was Harry Nelson Pillsbury, an American player, which further complicated the issue for the award of the title, so later the five best players of Hastings (Pillsbury, Tchigorin, Lasker, Tarrasch and Steinitz) were invited to an exclusive tournament St. Petersburg, Tarrasch but unfortunately could not accept an invitation to a professional commitment. In St. Petersburg
Lasker won by two points ahead of Steinitz, who reached the second place. To further confirm the result, in the world championship in Moscow against the 1896 Lasker Steinitz won with a score of 12.5 - 4.5, the great achievement of Lasker never again left no doubt about the new holder of the title of world chess.
Lasker has always demanded a large sum for his presence in the match, as he witnessed the poverty stricken conditions of Steinitz and other players, so he wanted the best conditions for future chess players. Also proposed that each player would hold the copyright on the disputed lots. However, despite his efforts, he died in poverty.
In early 1920, began grueling negotiations between Lasker and José Raúl Capablanca to arrange the meeting valid for the world title. In the end, got a $ 11,000 engagement of the fifty-Lasker agreed to play in Havana on a maximum of 24 matches, the tournament began March 15, 1921 but took only 14 games to end: April 27 Lasker lost the title of world champion, abandoned the match after four defeats and 10 draws, complaining of health problems.
Lasker did not want to make chess his main business, even during the best years he continued his studies in mathematics and philosophy, discussed with Albert Einstein's theory of relavitivà. After the World Cup Lasker returned to work in the academy and playing bridge at the international level. In 1933, because of the fascist regime was forced to leave Germany without money, so that in 1934, age 65, he returned in the scenario and again proved a good chess game. Eventually he moved permanently to New York, where he died on 11 January 1941 for a kidney disease at the age of 72 years.

My Refridgerater Is Making Moaning Noises

Obama & PD/ Almeno imparare qualcosa

Tra una festa per Obbbama e una bega interna, una lotta sulla RAI e il solito nulla cosmico, forse gli intelligentissimi vertici del PD, nel tepore del loro loft, potrebbero imparare un paio di cose dai loro colleghi americani. Certo, non è divertente come tradurre uno slogan in "se po' ffà".

1) Il territorio.
Per chi per anni ha creduto nel partito leggero e virtuale, la vittoria dei Democratici dev’essere un brusco risveglio. Gli USA sono simili all’Italia per il fatto che in entrambi i Paesi, la sinistra è una minoranza strutturale. La crisi dell’economia e di Bush non sarebbe stata sufficiente a chiudere il gap di consensi. Obama non ha vinto soltanto nella sua Tosco-Emilia-Romagna, ma ha saputo conquistare anche territori ostili come Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana che sono conservatori all’incirca come i nostri Piemonte (non-Torino) e Veneto.
I Democrats sono, è vero, un partito leggero. Ma la campagna elettorale, per le primarie (vere) e le presidenziali, impone ai partiti di assumere una forte presenza sul territorio per circa due anni. La struttura degli Obamisti è stata formidabile e meticolosa, per partecipazione e strategia. Volontari dal Texas e dalla California venivano spediti regolarmente in Stati incerti come Ohio e Nevada.
Per capire questo, in realtà, bastava studiare i risultati della nostra Lega Nord, abile a farsi percepire presente working classes in the North. Now, after Obama, there is no excuse for the PD.

2) change.
Because your message is credible news, not just rhetoric, you know Walter? In Italy we do not have a racial issue, then dyed black skin will not help you. Even as "having more women," if this time does not count for anything. The Italians are so disillusioned with politics that takes two things to be credible for a party to appear as new. A rejuvenation of the leadership and a clear line of action, ie no internal bickering.
The change of Obama, of course, is largest of its color. It 'also the promise of a less contentious and less political dynasty, and after twenty years of bushistas clintonistas. In America in particular meaning to talk again in purchasing power, in the form of "laugh impetus to the American dream." So, an emotional component, but strongly linked to concrete problems experienced by people every day.

In Italy, the PD has so far not promised nor a specific policy, nor the end of political dynasties. There remained only a dream of Walter inform us all best. But obviously this is not enough to anyone.

What Size Rusty Pirhanna

Annuario Istat/ Realtà e Speranza

To browse the yearbook ISTAT 2008 , You can find all the reasons that make Italy a country strange to the European level.
For example, it is clear that an old country (1-over 65 and a half for each under15), where 25% of the population have only primary school (! - Yes, even the media - and to 70% among over 65) is a country with a strong authoritarian drift, and low-democratic consciousness. In addition, just under one third (32.5%) had finished high school, while only 10% are university graduates.
While this may partially explain the Berlusconi, other data show the difficulty of doing politics in a country highly heterogeneous.
religious marriages in the South are 80% of the total, while North (53%) and the Centre (59%) are now close to becoming a majority secular society, since the trend is downward. That says a lot about the relationship between politics and church, but also should suggest that the PD, which in CentroNord is best left to the right of the courtship of Catholics.
elements of hope: the 90% are under 18 enrolled in high school. 71% of girls continues with the university (the boys, only 61%) and among 25-year old now 24% of the girls are graduates, while among males the figure fell to 17%. Data more than twice the total population.
Well, maybe when all these old ignorant that plague our country will be in the grave, we will also us a people more alert, less ready to be fooled by demagogues. And maybe with more women in positions of power and prestige.

Fluffy red ... I call it like that!

   Il suo nome è in realtà "callistemon speciosus", ma a me piace chiamarlo piumetto rosso per i suoi rossi pennacchi che fioriscono alla sommità dei rami.
E' un arbusto di provenienza australiana appartenente alle mirtacee che, per la sua rusticità, può abbellire il nostro giardino in exchange for very little attention.


I bought it three years ago and then gave me a flower after another. In spring and summer flowers are plentiful but even in winter, when the garden is bare, his eyes brighten up red feathers with a touch of color ...

... As you describe this picture where the flowers are sprayed with snow
The picture "snow" shows us that the hardiness of this plant also bears very harsh temperatures.
As the temperature is more mild and bumble bees are busy on these soft flowers that, given the continuing coming and going, I think they are rich in nectar!

the fall of the petals appear on the stem of small spherical fruits, which give off an aroma similar to the touch all'eucalitpo.


Here they are: ...

Beautiful Agony Vidéos

Obama al test delle aspettative

I'm just recovering from the long election night, when the NY Times website was getting more blue .. I am immensely happy. The age of Bush is over, but especially a black man became president. Although Obama will not do anything, its color will remain an important goal, until recently thought to be impossible.
But the problem is that we all expect more than this. With a rare double majority in the House and Senate, the world now believes that "another America sia possibile", sul serio. Ci attendiamo in politica estera un'America salda, ma più multilaterale. Socialmente, un'America più giusta e solidale. Ma soprattutto sul piano interno, se il cambiamento può essere reale e duraturo, un esempio per le sinistre mondiali, occorre che Obama e il suo staff inventino una nuova ricetta economica che abbia successo, che possa davvero archiviare la Reaganomics.
Ha 4 anni di tempo. Buona fortuna e buon lavoro.
