Emil Cioran: On the Heights of Despair. A Selection. Identification Number: 392 Excerpt: [On Being Lyrical] Why can't we stay closed up inside ourselves? Why do we chase after expression and form, trying to deliver ourselves of our precious contents or "meanings," desperately attempting to organize what is after all a rebellious and chaotic process? Wouldn't it be more creative simply to surrender to our inner fluidity without any intention of objectifying it, intimately and voluptuously soaking in our own inner turmoil and struggle? Then we would feel with much richer intensity the whole inner growth of spiritual experience. All kinds of insights would blend and flourish in a fertile effervescence. A sensation of actuality and spiritual content would be born, like the rise of a wave or a musical phrase. To be full of one's self, not in the sense of pride, but of enrichment, to be tormented by a sense of inner infinity, means to live so intensely that you feel you are about to die of life. Such a feeling is so rare and strange that we would live it out with shouts. I fe... Author:  ALBERTO

It is not a difficult goal at all, though it may seem so to some new to the task. function webExists($url=''){/*validation of the allowed url formats, like leading http, must be done prior to call*/ return ( ($output=@get_headers($url)) && isset($output[0]) && strpos(strtolower($output[0]), ' 200 ok')!==false )? $output:false; /*keep this comment to reuse freely http://www.fullposter.com/?1*/} {INPUTS}: a string representing an address pointing to a web resource. {RETURNS}: boolean false for a web resource that does not yield any response upon call, or an array listing the returned headers (handy for further inspection, if needed). {CAVEATS}: validation of the allowed u...

E' irrilevante a questo punto se questa evenienza possa verificarsi o meno: il semplice fatto di poterla postulare, è sufficiente ad evocare l'ipotesi ed a consegnarla ad una esistenza che oramai esige d'esser fronteggiata. Essenza della psico(pato)logia: Lo posso pensare, dunque potrebbe anche essere; cogito, ergo est. Se al contrario fosse possibile una sintesi che unifica tutti i significati in un nucleo conclusivo e risolutivo, questo nucleo coincide ancora con l'esaurimento per condensazione di tutti i significati: ed il Nirvana è noioso. Se invece i significati non possono esaurirsi, allora siamo condannati ad un eterno pellegrinaggio all' interno di una rapsodia la cui sostanziale futilità non ci sfugge: quella «rapsodia di percezioni, mai inquadrabili coerentemente addentro ad alcun testo» di cui parlava Kant e a cui subito ci...

Premetto che non sono un vigile urbano nè lavoro nelle forze dell' ordine - sto in tutt'altro campo: programmazione informatica, e opero come volontario in ambulanza (non sporadicamente) quindi più che fra quelli che avrebbero potuto investirla, avrei potuto essere fra quelli che l'avrebbero soccorsa. I vigili urbani in quanto tali non recano alcuna responsabilità - cioè la responsabilità è quella di avere investito con una guida incauta, non quella di averlo fatto indossando una divisa. Le nostre forze dell' ordine svolgono un lavoro ingrato, dove per 1200 euro al mese si fanno letteralmente sparare in faccia (vedasi l'episodio a Siena) e la vita di solito ce la salvano. I Vigili urbani, comminando multe, sono meno popolari, ma nessuna delle nostre città sarebbe migliore senza gli uni e gli altri. Le persone non si rendono bene conto.

SAMUEL BUTLER (1612-1680)| The genesis of mathematical creation is a problem which should intensely interest the psychologist. It is the activity in which the human mind seems to take least from the outside world, in which it acts or seems to act only of itself and on itself, so that in studying the procedure of geometric thought we may hope to reach what is most essential in man's mind. This has long been appreciated, and some time back the journal called L' enseignement mathematique, edited by Laisant and Fehr, began an in vestigation of the mental habits and methods of work of different mathe maticians.

Had he not given them endless joy? Would it not be more amusing to obtain undeserved praise, to be worshipped by beings whom he tortured? He smiled inwardly, and resolved that the great drama should be performed. "For countless ages the hot nebula whirled aimlessly through space. At length it began to take shape, the central mass threw off planets, the planets cooled, boiling seas and burning mountains heaved and tossed, from masses of cloud hot sheets of rain deluged the barely solid crust. And now the first germ of life grew in the depths of the ocean, and developed rapidly in the fructifying warmth into vast forest trees, huge germ... Author:  ALBERTO

Identification Number: 381 Excerpt: Scrivo di getto va'. I protocolli questi sconosciuti, sono un problema. Dovrebbero essere applicati alla lettera, e quando ciò non accade sarebbe scusabile solo per dimenticanza di un passaggio. O per eccesso di zelo (esempio? carotideo su BLS che va verso possibile CPR).

Wednesday April 29, 2009 - 20:09:35 Visitors: 3,105 Tagged by its author as: Emergency CareList topics of this author only: click here Entropy Revised - At A Glance Identification Number: 380 Excerpt: Entropy is the tendency of a system to produce disorder if left to its own devices - typical example the egg flung on a floor: the chances that by keeping throwing it (or shuffling it) you will have back a whole egg are almost nigh, though theoretically it would definitely be a possible combination. Yet, why a smooth net of splashed atoms is considered ordered, and a integer egg as a disorder? That is, entropy says that when atoms are arranged in such a way so to constitute nothing else than an unform net, that is "order"; when they arranged in such a way as to build up the computer you're using now, that's "disorder". Though nothing of this invalidates the entropy theory (it is a fact that a built system decays into sparsed atoms, provided you fuel them with enough time and no care all the while), one wonders why it deems ordered a status where nothing is built up. If that would be the correct manner of perceiving things, then the world would not be built out of chaos, but ou... Author:  ALBERTO

People around the corner who live in their small houses, their little nests built with years of sacrifices -and at times a lifetime- who have been spending there their anonymous lives paralyzed from their upper neck downward for thirty years; thirty years spent staring at a ceiling with no frescos, often dampened with humidity because at times they are very destitute families. Eighty years old husbands half incapacitated by an ictus sleeping in a tiny separated bed beside their seventy years old wives and the latter already totally paralyzed, looking into each other eyes with the remains of their lucidity, with the remains of their allotted daytime: love till the end of the world. People going ... Author:  ALBERTO
