I Think My Daughter May Have Pink Eye

PER L’URBANISTICA NEL TERRITORIO SUBLACENSE :RIFLESSIONI E SPERANZE



FOR THE URBAN AREA SUBLACENSE: REFLECTIONS AND HOPE Interview architect John Prosperi

incipient cultural awakening of interest centered on the territory Aniense by experts and working here, we want to point a scholar so far appeared as solitary JOHN PROSPER.


In a large room, he is known as an architect, painter, poet and educator in art and beauty. All this at a high level. Waiting for a monograph that makes "popular" and enjoyed by all its varied work, we give emphasis to its research especially in our urbanism territory (from Tivoli to all the High Aniene).
We do this through an interview.
UPSUBIACO
-Can you tell us what are the stages of his research in this field from the '60s to today?
ARCH. PROSPER
"I'm flattered that after nearly fifty years - almost a jubilee-territorial research, planning, town-planning and landscape of the Val d'Aniene (medium and high), the UPSubiaco remember most of my expertise in specific : urbanism. Since the 60 I sent my initial research, a university student in this area. It must be said that these early studies were valid even then, as the Professor with which I was working on was the famous city planner Louis Piccinato. Together with some friends
Subiaco presentations to the Secretary Victor Cervone, who showed some appreciation for my work. In short the study, prepared in colored cards (regional, territorial, local) identified in an original way of tourist (the Institute "Placido Martini" had chosen our area as "highly tourist area") that extended from Tyrrhenian coast - pontine fino ai Monti Simbruini ed Ernici. Una fascia intermedia di produzione industriale era nella piana di Frosinone, ricadente nella “Cassa del Mezzogiorno”, e ciò frustrava ogni velleitario tentativo di invadere il litorale e la montagna con inopportuni insediamenti industriali. Vi si opponevano gli alti costi di percorrenza e incompatibilità tra zona del tempo libero e zona industriale ( vedi gli studi di Le Corbusier su” La ville radieuse”).
Poi il comprensorio specializzato ( mare, collina, fiume, centri storici minori, monti), e infine le aree attrezzate ( fiume, Montagna di Livata).
Il comprensorio aniense, da Villa Adriana fino ai Monti Simbruini, avrebbe dovuto costituire il “Parco attrezzato Val d'Aniene "along the lines of those already existing in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige and then proposed by the Regional Plan for Tourism in the Abruzzo region, which I had reported.
The road structure was refocused on a dual carriageway, tracing, Mandela's former railway route Subiaco, with exits for each minor center, which would have made even the link road between the A-24 and A-', made up in its path Subiaco, the Highlands of Arcinazzo, Fiuggi.
The economic structure of support that tourism should be specialized agriculture consists of widespread planting of fruit trees and vines spread in appropriate areas, while the plain below Arsoli-Anticoli-Roviano would accommodate small and not impacting industrial settlements processing (jams, marmalades, wineries) next to the railway that has access to the Highway (Mandela) and, therefore, with low cost travel.
Tourism, the 'non-specialized farming and subsistence, the "soft" processors, they would have avoided the massive exodus and the deplorable phenomenon of commuting.
Monte Livata should have an expansion building (hotels, "residence" homes) limited area of \u200b\u200bthe ring (with water supply facilities, di rete fognaria, di servizi :luce, gas, telefono, etc),progettata sui modelli del “town design" e, quindi, da uno studio professionale specializzato, lasciando così il territorio montano intatto integralmente.
Le piste da sci erano state previste nel versante Nord di Monte Autore con lunghezza anche di sei chilometri e innevate sicuramente per un lungo periodo dell’anno.
Questa scelta avrebbe previsto un Consorzio tra i Comuni di Subiaco e Camerata Nuova, quest’ultima prossima al Casello autostradale di Carsoli, possibile alternativa - non escludente l’altra- al raggiungimento di seggiovie e cabinovie.
Di tutto ciò si discusse. Ma con un nulla di fatto. E la superstrada e il Parco sono arrivati tardi and evil. This process is further treated with an update studies and commitments, including political and administrative level of local and regional level.
In the early '70s I worked at the National Institute of Territorial Planning, headed by Prof. Mario Cup. Produce, at my invitation, an interesting work of many hands, published by the CNR under the title "The Subiaco district." Among the many topics was an interesting approach to old problem of minor historical centers. It was made available to the City Council, Subiaco.
I just recently returned to the topic, with an essay by magazine sull'INCASTELLAMENTO THE valley of, to put in clear light the work of inculturation - and therefore valuable - the S. Benedict and the Benedictines, to the rise of the first democratic government. Someone more famous than me has used my work in outlining the historical hypothesis as an indicator for the formation and identification of a district. The
Arch. Subiaco Arnaldo De Luca, among others, appreciated my studio.
Recently I was invited by the architect. Fabio Orlandi Subiaco to take an interest again and again in the Subiaco area, using research-NEWS urban NOMISMA Institute of Bologna, put forth the hypothesis that the entry of the private money-more interested in safe results-in planning: the so-called financial planning. More work and other trouble which I submitted. But it is never too late.
UPSUBIACO
-particularly as the news of his proposals for Monte Livata?

ARCH. PROSPER

Monte Loivata today is not competitive, no tracks will appeal to skiers at a certain level. What, then, my proposal? Two sides to beat cross-country skiing (do not forget that on tracks designed by the architect. Lanciotti Louis and myself, was played in the Italian Championship absolute bottom in 1977). There is a growing number of practitioners of this specialty. But above all, a proposal surplus less predictable: the mountain of Livata so without danger, so gently slopes and the slopes can become the joy of winter families with young children. Again, safely and appropriately equipped with colorful and imaginative lifts, ski runs, ice skating, skiing holidays in technicolor. Could become a significant space for the promotion of the centrality of the human family. The "family Livata fest" is still a card can, for an economic development compatible with the current philosophy of the Park and with a catchment area, such as Rome and its hinterland.
UPSUBIACO
-Che cosa consiglierebbe ai giovani architetti – locali e non – che cominciano solo ora la loro carriera professionale nel settore di cui ci stiamo occupando?
ARCH. PROSPERI
Consiglierei ai giovani architetti di studiare, leggere, navigare su Internet, viaggiare con gli occhi aperti (Le Corbousier deprecava gli occhi che non vedono…) e, talora, avere la pazienza di avvicinare chi ha fatto tutto questo per molti anni.
UPSUBIACO
- Nella Sua visione di prospettiva, quale il ruolo dei Monasteri Benedettini di Subiaco ?
ARCH. PROSPERI
Il turismo religioso è un gran volano economico perché invests a large slice of p eople especially the elderly. I'm not confined to those visits to the Benedictine monasteries, but attach it to the approach with minor historical centers - still so full of interesting discoveries, and other spiritual centers in the area (St. Francis of Civitella, Sanctuary of the SS Trinity, S. Biagio, etc ....).
UPSUBIACO
-A wish for the landscape, urban planning, architecture and life of our environment and our communities?
ARCH. PROSPER
recently - due to the interest of the then Head of Culture City of Subiaco and now-Mayor Angelucci Pierluigi I printed a book entitled "The cult of the romantic sublime landscape." Here I tried to look the other way-for-note to return to Subiaco this image untouched that the artists of the pen and the chisel until the first half of the twentieth century, with their works, we have left. Perhaps sensing that the scenario was about to change.
This publication is consulted and, fortunately, quite popular.. "

thank Dr. Joseph Cicolini for having kindly made available the text of this interview, carried out by the Popular di Subiaco

RU486 abortion pill - a very simple question



note: we are not talking about abortion SI o aborto NO, in Italia l'aborto è legale ed è regolato dalla legge 194/1978, da questo dato di fatto si parte per discutere la questione.
La questione Ru486 (mifepristone) la si può risolvere semplicemente:
Aborto chirurgico ed aborto farmaceutico sono due differenti pratiche mediche che hanno lo stesso fine: l'interruzione della gravidanza.
I progressi in medicina sono tesi non solo a indagare e curare malattie nuove o non ancora curabili, ma anche a migliorare le stesse pratiche mediche rendendole più sicure, meno dolorose e meno invasive. La Ru486 fa semplicemente questo: rende l'interruzione di gravidanza meno invasiva. Chi è contro la Ru486 non è un vecchio chirurgo appassito che vede svanire i tempi doro del taglia e cuci , no, è semplicemente parte di quello strato della nostra società che è (apertamente o meno) contro l'aborto, e preferisce l'aborto chirurgico perché, in confronto alla Ru486, ha un aspetto punitivo sul corpo della donna.
Inoltre la Ru486 può essere utilizzata già nelle prime settimane di gravidanza (ma entro e non oltre la 7a) mentre l'aborto chirurgico può essere praticato solo dalla 6a settimana in poi, non usare la Ru486 è anche in questo caso un'arma per incidere sulla psiche della donna che voglia o debba ricorrere all'interruzione volontaria della gravidanza, procurando un'attesa angosciante.
Bisognerebbe lasciare le donne libere di decidere la pratica less affected their psyche, or choose between a surgical and invasive procedure that takes about 20 minutes and is often performed under general anesthesia and therefore without feelings and memories physical or non-invasive procedure that provides for 3 days but taking two different drugs and the expulsion of embryonic material conscious.

Resolved the issue with agility Ru486si Ru486no at its base, it can be more specific.

- One could argue that a less invasive, the higher the danger of pharmaceutical practice than surgical, Monsignor Elio Sgreccia, president emeritus of the Pontificia Academia pro Vita cites the cases of 29 women died as a whole the world following the administration of RU486 from the '80s until today. The first thing to remember that the drug has been studied and is considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used in advanced countries like the U.S. and throughout most of Europe. Secondly you can not forget that every drug and every medical practice has the potential risks, there are no medicines or surgical practice is 100% safe and 29 cases in 30 years a small number, then it is true that comparing these numbers with the dead to surgical abortion mortality data is overwhelming (1 death every 100 thousand intakes of RU486 against a death every 1 million surgical abortions), but in evaluating the use of a drug can not only calculate the extreme and rare event of death, it must also be considered normal, and the data tell us that the problems related to the two practices are: pain, bleeding (longer with the drug), nausea both methods. Serious complications (occurring in less than 1% of cases) to surgical abortion trauma or injury to the cervical and / or the wall of the uterus, infection, severe bleeding, incomplete removal of embryonic tissue with consequent need 'a second intake, vascular blood clots (thrombosis), the risk of future ectopic pregnancy or infertility. For the pharmaceutical method instead the problems are: high blood pressure or incomplete expulsion, resulting in need 'of a suction to remove the remains of embryonic tissue remaining in the uterine cavity, method failure and continuation of pregnancy with suction with the need for further surgery.
sum up: in 99% of cases for both methods there are no complications (except the normal aches nausea loss of blood), the pharmaceutical method, however, is certainly not invasive. 1% of cases appear to be harmful or dangerous complications that belong to the surgical approach. Although rare, while mortality is 10 times higher with RU486.
The question is why in 99 cases out of 100 to zero for the health dangers some want mantenere una pratica invasiva?

- Giuliano Ferrara è contro la Ru486 . In un appello firmato insieme a Lucetta Scaraffia e Roberto Formigoni si dice che la Ru486 è un sistema abortivo altamente controverso anche dal punto di vista della sua sicurezza ed efficienza clinica .
I dati scientifici riportano una percentuale di efficienza del 95%.
Ma al di là di questi dati evidenti ai quali non si può controbattere, è più interessante analizzare le altre parole di Ferrara:
La pillola costa 14 euri, è alla portata di tutte le borse, e la minimizzazione dei suoi rischi clinici, ché quelli di cultura e di senso sono evidenti e irrimediabili, farà in modo che spread properly.
I share that concern, that, as in other countries, abortion can pass through the purchase in pharmacies. It 's definitely something to be regulated, but the present state of things in Italy that is not what is happening, the AIFA (Italian Drug Agency) has approved the marketing of the abortion pill RU486, but be careful, not marketing means that the RU486 can be found at the supermarket, and even in pharmacies with a prescription, according to the dictates of Act 194, the use is only in the hospital, even if it is realistic, such as presages Ferrara, who probably (a less restrictive legislation in this direction, such as in many other countries there is not) the time of the expulsion of embryonic material will not be in hospital but at home, well, the topic is interesting. Here is the analysis: If
medical practice requires that the woman (informed about what happens to his body and that it will not be a pleasant experience) can eject the embryonic material home safely, then the house hospital is better, because it is a more intimate, more everyday and less terrifying than the average of Italian hospitals.
If the difference between making surgical abortion in the hospital and complete it at home (after a check and medical care) lies in the psychological support, then just read the introduction to psychological support, the woman who needs it will go to the hospital. But we must also remember that today does not seem to have a real psychological support for women who terminate a pregnancy by surgery, and even if in some cases there is, this support is at odds with the attempts of figures connected to the Catholic world that the hospital bother with their moral support women at that time are in a state of mind certainly is not peaceful. Even when these figures are not of a Christian charity are not present, there is often a medical corrupt, morally bankrupt , which can not prevent fatto l'aborto si vendica tormentando la donna. (Corrado Augias sta raccogliendo testimonianze di questi fatti QUOTIDIANI, qui un esempio .)
Continua Giuliano Ferrara, un medico
ti dà in ospedale, se con il tempo e con l’uso non te lo passi addirittura la farmacia, un veleno antifeto che, molte settimane dopo il concepimento, puoi ingerire per espellere il bambino “indesiderato” che hai in corpo a casa tua, con dolore e rischi per la salute, nella più disperata e indifferente delle solitudini, tirando lo sciacquone. Ferrara lo chiama feto, ma feto non è, perché diventa feto dopo 60-70 giorni, mentre la Ru486 la si utilizza entro 49 giorni; se la Ru486 you use it several weeks after conception then the surgical practice is feasible only after many weeks, and if this is a negative value is even more for the surgical practice, the pain is there even with the RU486 and this is true but risks are calculated and determined that it is a safe practice, and here we are at the important question: Ferrara still insists on the equation in that house alone if an injury, the woman not to abort if the hospital is alone, that translates into: the woman who aborts is alone, and this is not the reality may be that as it may be the opposite as can be for any other medical practice and any human being man or woman. The problem is in wanted to surreptitiously pass a difficult time for the main feature of the woman who becomes a mother, that depict a woman who aborts as a disaster, a sucker, a woman alone and desperate. Is not never seen instead as a woman who lives a couple of real, live, fulfilling a woman conscious, self-determined. Surely this juncture of his life will be difficult and sad but can not deny a lifetime, and a choice can not deny the presence of a companion, a friend, a family who know how to care for and comfort better than a doctor and especially foreign when evil from its position of advantage (because the doctor always has an advantage made available when a patient's own body) and its moral judgments is not no pity a woman who aborts deliberately.
And if a woman should be alone in this moment of choice, must be able to choose which medical practice, the less afraid and feel calmer.
's all, not a question but medical ethics, nothing could be simpler.
