Close to Sardinia
Instagram menaces Facebook and Twitter as for the number of global users. Does it mean the image beats the word? Is it the sign o' the times? BREAKING NEWS Sardinia just received half its annual rainfall in one day. As result home submerged... thousands displaced by torrential rains... state of emergency declared by Italian government... Sardinia on 'maximum alert' after deadly storms... News get highest attention to Italian island #guardian #nytimes #BBCBreaking and suggest an urgent G20 at La Maddalena.
For real aid digit #45500.

Se admiten niñas y niños
Comenzó Noviembre, el mes más importante del año porque tiene... el diá internacional del hombre... el diá internacional de la eliminación de la violencia contra la mujer... el diá de los derechos de los niños... el diá mundial de la televisión (jajaja).
El #20 de Noviembre la ONU celebra el Día Universal del Niño (pero en cada país se celebra en un momento diferente). Así dedicamose a promover, reflexionar y hacer cumplir los derechos de los chicos.
¿Conoces su derechos?
Algún día llegarás a comprenderme.

Un idioma brutal...
No sabiendo porque yo vuelvo de repente al español #castellano, pienso que esta parábola es un destino del mi corazón. ¿Las palabras de Borges me desgastan incesante? Pero no tengo intención de volverme loco por algo #nadagrave.
Tal vez quiero construir una vida mejor por los niños. Trabajando por una infancia con un futuro mas justo #porunpiberíointegrado. Para colaborar con #fundaciónPUPI también podés realizar donaciones online.
PS. ¡Abrazos!

The author's revenge
I have been attending some initiatives during the week of the mental health (October 18-25). Witness to meetings, performances, exhibitions and finally viewer of the film "As Good As It Gets" directed by James L. Brooks and starring Jack Nicholson #recovery.
Thinking of my long-range jobless experience I would say the psychical inconvenience is often the prime ingredient of the creative process. So I can't forget how poetry and storytelling have worked as escape lines from every bad experience, since loneliness is the the most precious resource of the writing author.
Until some flew over the nest... #cuckoo.

Emotional capitalism
I can't lose sight of the books. They have been a constant scenario within dmlr.org...
The book #3 inside the weekly selling chart is the latest romance novel by Sophie Kinsella --"Wedding Night", 20 euro (but often discounted at 17 euro) now available on Amazon.com where you find the reader's opinions.
#KinsellaSophie is the author of the bestselling "Shopaholic" series as well as the novels "Can you keep a secret?", "I've got your number" and so on.
This week has celebrated one of the most awaited weddings of the year #RealBelen so it deserves to face the theme from the ultimate perspective.
But there is another point of view to consider: "Why love hurts" (in Spanish "Por qué duele el amor") a sociological explanation by Eva Illouz --I suggest it as Kindle edition auto-delivered wirelessly at 14.96 US$.
Fortunately these two writers are showing a curious convergence to the question... the making of emotional capitalism!

Right to... consume
4.3 foreigners live in Italy. In 2012 about 65 thousand foreign nationals residing in Italy acquired the Italian citizenship (1.5%). #Istat
Why so a little number? Because the ignorant ones in power didn't make the law according to the fair principle that children born in Italy of immigrant parents and have grown up here are Italians! #IusSoli
On the contrary the politicians have been kept considering those children simply as consumers... temporary people waiting for a better place to live in. Maybe a better country not so close to the bankruptcy?

How is your training going?
"Thank you for joining the PETA Pack team!
By becoming a member today, you're not only supporting PETA's lifesaving work but also encouraging your friends and loved ones to share your dedication to making the world a better place for all animals." #PETA
The follow-up copy here has been sent by the powerful movement made of people for the ethical treatment of animals, whose concept acts in a simple way and says: Everyone has the power to save a life or take a life when they choose a meal --and basically all consumer goods!
Joining the Peta Pack one will train to run, walk or bike a race to stop animal abuse, get in shape, and have fun! As for me since 2000 I faced the issue of the ethical treatment of animals on marketing media...
PS. Who framed Roger Rabbit?

Brilliant_Ads!
Recently a Twitter feed to follow has been a compiled list of the most creative or curious advertising posted and linked to a simple picture showing off the final effect achieved by image, headline, placement... #Brilliant Ads
This week it results so inspiring Samsung: "Having a smartphone makes you smarter", and Interflora: "The importance of what you are weighs more than what you have".
Also brilliant are the messages highlighting the vintage ads as well as the institutional campaigns, for example "Wildfires burns more than trees". Sob!

"We have a dream"
50 years after Martin Luther King's speech, Twitter has been celebrating the #DreamDay. MLK made his "I have a dream" speech to fight not only the rampant racism but even the poverty and the negation of freedom. So we're still sharing dreams for whatever collective goal to reach (like this...)
"Dear World Leaders,
this year, commit to fight chronic malnutrition and unleash a transparency revolution.
By acting now, you can help transform millions of lives, put power into people's hands and set a course to end extreme poverty by 2030."
Join Us. ONE.org
PS. Add your name to the petition right now!.

Overshoot Day
Everyone would have to mark today by a red circle on the calendar #Overshoot Day.
That is we all have already exhausted the earth resources available for the current year. And from tomorrow on the worldwide human activity will be consuming natural resources that won't be replenished #global footprint.
Not even the time to view the movie "Eco Planet" and come out from the multiplex and the overshoot day is here to submit the environmental bill!
The children were obviously impressed by the movie's message and, asked if they would like to give up a week of electronic video games to save this planet, they looked at me and asked for delaying the penalty...
PS. Green marketing = consumer education.

World Youth Day
Blessed by the papal visit in Rio #Pontifex, this day has been associated to the fight against the young unemployment... for that the sport is an important temporary remedy, not the cure.
So what does it remain of the former young inside me?
I have been a keen sportsman, I should say a total sportsman. The list of sports to remember isn't short and not too long.
In my early years I have been an all-day-long football player and a summer cyclist. Plus some fundamentals on basketball. Then a serious swimmer, better in crawling, sometimes a bad tennis player and a fair skier. Afterward an intense handball player officially engaged on a an unpaid basis. That was the time when I started running by necessity of training... but I really disliked to be a runner.The studies completed it was the time of leaving the action of undertaking a set of exercises (and diet) for a regular sporting event. As non professional I have been all this. Now I'm writing these lines from the 2013 European City of Sport #scattiaMO.
PS. "My joy is much greater than my exhaustion".

Last but not least?
The 28th country is the latest addition to European Union on July 1st, so why not explore the social medium most oriented to the political news?
For example, the German Foreign Office did post the simple greeting message "Welcome in the EU" #GermanyDiplo. Someone else used the term EU puzzle, meanwhile the World Economic Forum asked "Will EU expansion end with Croatia?" #davos and Condé Nast relaunched the fact by "the guide to this country of beautiful beaches, parks and islands" #cntraveller.
A week later the main scene has turned to "Live at Ultra Festival Europe", the continental song contest. Finally to something private like that "a 13-year-old Croatian girl who fell into a coma woke up speaking fluent German"!
PS. Out of YU Tube?

Le Mans, what else?
Selected the right subject on Twitter #LM24H I have kept informing on the classic endurance race of Le Mans --90th edition!
Sad news signed the beginning of the competition and followed it until the somber podium celebration under flags flying half mast...
Despite the circumstances I was interested by the spontaneous messages posted during the twentyfour hours, including consolation, artwork tribute, or reflections by Allan Simonsen's family and colleagues after the crush...#RIP
PS. WHAT ELSE? LM24H.
