Why Do I Love Milena Velba
From Italian journal was not enough the dubious distinction of most polluted rivers in Italy. The act by unknown at that, last February 23, in the Lambro have downloaded hundreds of cubic meters of oil from the storage of the former Petroleum Refinery Lombarda Villasanta in the province of Monza and Brianza, is having disastrous consequences. To give an alarming confirmation of the scientists of the Institute of Water Research National Research Council of Brugherio IRSA-CNR that since the mid-seventies to help quantify the pollution of river water. Scholars, before the fact, had already set at 30% the contribution of the Lambro total load of pollutants that are carried by the Po into the Adriatic Sea. The stream, say by the Institute of the CNR, is decades from one of the main anthropogenic sources of pollution along the great river Po due to urban pressure, industrial and agricultural one of the most developed in Europe. "Despite the difficulty in reaching acceptable quality levels," says Gianni Tartari, responsible Institute of Brugherio, "the situation on the threshold of the second decade of this century gave positive signals with respect to the degradation of water reached in the past." The spillage of oil in the Lambro and fuel oil is done so in an environmentally precarious. Tartars explains how the situation was slowly improving. The air cleaners, in fact, have contributed to a significant recovery of the river, "with the presence of fish, improve the biodiversity of benthic fauna and a more acceptable appearance of water." Nevertheless, "the large amount of hydrocarbons will lead to a long period, a significant impact on the river fauna. The situation is only partly relieved by the flow of the river in recent weeks, due to the high rainfall that characterizes this winter. The rainfall, the researcher says the IRS "may lead, however, only the mobilization of heavy oil may be deposited on the bottom." Lighter ones, however, "are scattered problems by increasing the aquatic biotic communities sensitive to the toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons and other pollutants more or less soluble largely present in petroleum products spilled in the Lambro. The current hydrological condition of Po can therefore support the mitigation of acute, but does not solve the problem of the long-term ecosystem. The accumulation of hydrocarbons in sediments, in fact, is a source of exposure to toxic substances for a very long time.

Samle Business Plan-poultry Rearing
was held today's press conference presentation of First-valdelsa dell'Empolese March 2010. Our First anti-racist March will be yellow, like that of all the squares in Europe. So we invite all people who want to participate in a yellow dress if possible, or wear a yellow ribbon stuck somewhere.
will be a first in March that will catalyze the solidarity of many artists and local artists, many were interested in the initiative, a sign that the issue of racism, is that of law (the Bossi-Fini and security package in the first place) is one of widespread and insidious in our society in crisis, it is strongly felt in the territory dell'Empolese-valdelsa.
The day will be held in Empoli, with a garrison fixed at Victory Square from 15 pm until 20.30 pm. Take turns to guard the local artists who have given their adhesion, jugglers, musicians, hip-hop workshop Urban Being born a few months to Empoli ... The focal
moment of the day will be around 18, when at the same time Italy let fly free across the green yellow balloons that the committee had prepared for the occasion, we will make an anti-racist march through the streets of the old town of Empoli and listen to the concert CHIPIL DE tamales, which they thought the chance of gather for an extraordinary concert, on a day that will mark, as we all hope, a new beginning from which to build a new concept of citizenship. The road is long and very difficult today, but Empoli idea shared within the committee, and the entire national movement that is building this day hybrid testing is not to stop and move on.
At the press conference we also presented the dossier "Mandiamoli all at home ... clichés, "which dismantles, using the real numbers, the platitudes about immigration in Italy. One thing about everybody, we often hear the Home Secretary announced with great fanfare that this government has drastically reduced the landing on our shores , supporting the thesis that it the government fight against illegal immigration: in these discussions there is much demagoguery and bad faith, as the statistics (the Interior Ministry itself) clearly say that arrive by sea, only 10% of immigration irregular. It is hereby declared to fight against illegal immigration but they do, with the rejections, illegal acts (before expelling anyone EU member states must give the possibility people to apply for asylum if they are entitled, as well as inhuman (migrants sent back to Libya are certainly intended to torture of any kind). The file can be downloaded from the Internet, the facebook page of the Committee for the First-Empoli valdelsa March 2010.
The most interesting thing about the first of March, in addition to the novelty of European scope that this initiative is its hybrid composition, which reflects what is now the composition of our society. On the national manifesto clearly says that the distinction between "us" (indigenous) and 'them' (immigrants) has to fall, to allow for an inclusive society, conscious of their being multiple, with all the contradictions, problems, but also the values, the growth that this brings with it. So hybrid will be the composition of the also first in March and Empoli Italian, together we cry out loud that the rights are for everybody, that there are third in Serie A and Serie B. That racism is an issue that concerns not only immigrants, but concerns, and near, our whole society. Italian migrants and therefore we will be together to say we are against any prospect of war among the poor, against any opposition between secured and unsecured, including employed and unemployed, between poor and uncertain, everything in total opposition to what he is trying to impose the 'present government of our country.
A local points of platform, shared in the meetings of the Committee-Empoli Val d'Elsa, are as follows:
- NO INSTITUTIONAL RACISM
- FOR IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF SECURITY PACKAGE
- NO TO CENTRES OF IDENTIFICATION AND DEPORTATION (ICE) NOR 'IT IN TUSCANY' ELSEWHERE
- PERMIT TO STAY AND NOW FREE FOR ALL / I
We invite all the democratic citizenship and sensitive to the problem of racism that we are living together with all of us to participate in the initiative. All yellow. From 15 to 20.30 in Piazza della Vittoria in Empoli, at the launch of 18 balloons, parade against racism and for the rights in Empoli, DE CHIPIL concertone of tamales, which will bring all their folk-patchanca and their energy.

Lost Confirmation Number Of Us Visa Appointment
Work in progress, the meetings and discussions. In Italy all the local committees are organizing the First European Day of March 2010 "A day with us." On that day we make visible, unlike many, too many other days of the year, including at Empoli. Take to the streets, young, old, men, women and children to say no to institutional racism, for the withdrawal of racist laws that make it impossible for the everyday life of millions of people who chose (or had) to migrate and seek a decent life those born in other lands. Together
Italian and migrants, beautiful mixed race, claiming the right to emigrate, recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human history has always been the history of migration: without them, no process of civilization and culture of the construction would take place. The idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding a camp in Tuscany for migrants who had committed an "offense to emigrate," there will always be against s So we cry out that we will not be complicit.
Today the situation regarding the rights in our country is dramatic, there is not only an unprecedented attack on human dignity of migrants and the poor in general but also to those who apply the Christian principles of solidarity and welcome, although more parties feels invoke the defense of the Christian roots. Father Carlo D'Antoni in Syracuse was arrested last week for accepting those who had no place to go. Many survivors attempt pogrom Rosarno. We live a paradox: a law on the one hand, produces underground (and there is extensive literature documenting that this has made the Bossi-Fini law, and that things are going worse in force since the infamous security package ) and, second, solidarity turns into a crime.
Reality in Sicily is possibly worse than Rosarno, and father Charles D'Antoni has always denounced this state of affairs. Giving his father Charles our solidarity, we organize Tomorrow night, Sunday, Feb. 21, as step closer to the first of March 2010 and within the membership year of the association, a mixed-race dinner at 20 (cous-cous and Tuscan cuisine), and further, to about 22, will project a video on the facts of Rosarno to better understand what really happened, what are the causes of so much anger by workers enslaved in the fields, what are the conditions in which the corporal mafia forces them to work. For those events were even expelled migrants and punished, no one has been charged with exploitation of illegal workers, nor for the manhunt that has been there. This happens in Italy in 2010.

How Could Someone Do Scat
Recently I happened are a few things, common to most of the Italians, who have given me to think ... between bills and expenses necessary for everyday life, from clothes to food, you often wonder
"but how do I reduce the outflow"
? Surfing the Internet are different ways to
millemila
extricate at least in part out of trouble: some are the typical grandmothercouncils, others are great solutions which you would not never thought of. Some people wrote to us whole
portals, those who organize the movement of collective thought. But from this chaos of information, if they can get something useful for every day.
Know that you can save some money , unless you end up with the energy service providers that, while willing to electronic meters connected to the computer network, we calculate the amount on the bill, assuming consumption of the same period in Previous ( well as presumptive
) ...M'illumino less : turn off lights when not needed
off and not left on standby electronic devices frequent defrosting the refrigerator, keep the coil clean and away from the wall so that air can circulate
put the lid on pots when boiling water and always avoid the flame is wider than the bottom
the pot is too hot if you lower radiators instead of opening windows to reduce drafts
the frames filling material that does not pass through air use tends to create spaces in front of windows, doors and windows, exterior doors not leave curtains closed in front of radiators - insert special insulating films and reflective of the exterior walls and radiators
- use the car as little as possible and if necessary to share with those in the same way.
- Some things, perhaps, already do, like turning off lights when not in use or put the lid to boil water or keep the flame too high: they are almost never obvious and you'd imagine to get who knows what they save. Yet these ten are just small steps to allow us to save what little mad about not getting bills. Let '...
- Saving electricity
- The first three points of the decalogue are designed to save us electricity, leave lights burning unnecessarily consuming power is, of course, because in fact, no one benefits from the lighting, which is wasted, but paid. A good rule this idea can be combined with the use of light bulbs
- : they average more light, consume less, last longer, often found in light neutral is also less painful to the eye. I'm just a bit 'slower to ignite (
- but there are also models of "rapid" ) have a higher cost and should be disposed of in a different way. But at the level of
- pockets are more useful than a traditional bulb.
- Electronic devices are often not used when in standby mode
- : for example, led to think of the TV. All LEDs of your home you suck
. Moral: either the appliance or turn off the power supply really pull the plug when not in use.
time ago I saw on TV a man who had successfully solved the problem of the inconvenience of having to remove unused appliances attacking all devices in the home to groups of multiple sockets with switch : they are also easily findable in the supermarket, have the advantage of sticking with a single wall outlet and disconnect from the network multiple devices by pressing a single button
that in some models, is fused life-saving. There are more expensive models on the market, wound used in offices, also equipped with an uninterruptible . The group is useful if you have problems with surges of electrical power ( and Italy are frequent, despite what you say ... ): the constant surges can affect the bill investment and a source can be of great help.
on the fridge there is little to say in fact is the only appliance that we have to keep lit unless you want to find ourselves with throwing all the food that we keep inside, or unless you eat the only millet and oats ... when you fly low, let us a whistle ... Since defrost it is a huge hassle to leave you
advice that I found on Yahoo Answers , although I admit that the answer is written in essemmessese ... In the kitchen The fourth recommendation is all culinary: you put the lid on the pot water for pasta? It looks like a
stampaleria, but is explained by the more pragmatic of reasons, including Abina all'accorgimento of flame does not exceed the edge of the pan: in fact a closed metal container holds more heat, the water is boiling before and you save gas. Keeping the flame over the edge of the pot (
but also the pan, or mocha ) in fact, keep the flame low. The two together combine two forms of savings, without sacrificing a pasta cook in 15 minutes ...
How cold does it ... Advice from fifth to ninth are all focused on domestic heating: it must be said, however, to be truthful, that not all have central heating at home or can adjust ignition timing. Often, especially in older residential buildings, everything is centralized: the heating is switched on at times absurd, given according to an abnormal number of hours and the temperature inside the building can get around to that of a nuclear fusion reactor. Of course, you save on gas because the water is boiling before you finish the bowl, but heating costs become absurd and untenable for pants. Added to this is the good habit of certain condominiums of not paying the heating, knowing full well that much, then, the Chief spalmerà spending on the 3rd floor of that idiot who always pay more ...
As for tents, nowadays, without advertising to anyone, it is not difficult to find even on economic measures, including axes, pins and anything else: you choose the imagination, the safety officer there size and there the packs, and finally mounted with the drill and screwdriver on the wall. The discomfort is wash them, but never mind, because not only useful, they also help to have a little 'of
privacy in the apartment without having to give up the sunlight ( unless you buy the black ... abiate
) . Just a note: I can remember that my grandmother's house, an old palace built in the early '900, the radiators were placed under the windows. In such a case, I think that tends to be inadvisable ( even if my grandmother had ) and should only fall back on heat reflective insulation.
A consideration of the cavity: nowadays more and more houses have thin walls, whereas in the past it was common to build the gap. Why the architects have abandoned this excellent technical solution I do not know, I know, however, that this empty space inside the wall of the house has many great advantages, especially in terms of energy. The space allows you to heat the house and not to disperse the heat, but also allows heat from the outside do not penetrate into the house, resulting in a warm Winter and cool in Summer.
heat reflective insulation panels to be placed behind radiators can be found relatively easily, especially in big cities or on the Internet
after all reasonable costs to a few tens of dotarne € for the whole house. The same goes for closing the drafts, even with simple strips of rubber adhesive to stick under the door or windows: just go to the hardware store and buy ready-made splints also holes for the screws or nails, if you have wooden window frames or Adhesive strips, plastic and metal. Most kitsch you can also use the "snakes" of the piece in front of windows with sill ( But I do not know you ... and if I know you'll pretend not to have ever met ...
).
The principle applied is similar to that of the pan in the kitchen: an enclosed environment is heated before and dissipates less heat, with the result that after heating the house you can turn off the system and save money.
The car in the last group Board of the Decalogue is the most stately, tall, almost philosophical: If you have any home to visit her elderly aunt, damn it, go out with four cars! It only takes one. If you are all right so the city would be less congested, there would be less pollution, you would use less gasoline ( consumption of a single vehicle are not those of four ... ), people may even socialize a bit 'more. pity that in Italy is not occur to anyone you would like to be able to leave the comfort of her aunt at the last moment and return home by four different roads? Then he tells everyone what to see and spend the evening talking about traffic ... Then, the Decalogue is over: rilegetevelo and then click below to download it in PDF and print at your leisure. It is easy to apply (the last point ...
) and is especially useful.
Nothing so far described is in violation of any law or sneaky , But in a next time I'm going to talk about water and sunlight, the photovoltaic panels and rainwater tanks. There is too much foreshadowing, but it is curious to see how our country ...

communicate that Thursday, February 18 from 21.30 at the club will take place in Santa Maria to organize the first public meeting in March 2010. All associations and citizens are encouraged to bring their ideas and proposals also discuss and make public the ideas and updates that we had all the committees of the National Assembly, which took place Sunday in Bologna.
The most important thing is that throughout the Tuscany region is covered by the strike COBAS Confederation, which has proclaimed March 1, 2010 strike of all public and private categories with the exception of the transport sector. From
national demonstration initiative:
What would happen if four and a half million immigrants living in Italy decided to fold their arms for one day? And if to support their action there were also millions of Italians tired of racism?
This movement was born half-breed and is proud to bring together in-house Italian, foreign, second generation, and anyone who shares the rejection of racism and discrimination towards the weak. It connects and draws inspiration from "La journée sans immigrés: 24h sans nou," the movement that is organizing a strike in France of immigrants to March 1, 2010. First
March 2010, a day without us is a collective non-violent that brings together people of all backgrounds, gender, faith, education and political orientation.
We are immigrants and second generation Italians, united by the rejection of racism, intolerance and closing characterize this Italian.
We understand the importance of immigration (not only from the economic point of view) and outraged by the smear campaigns and xenophobic in recent years have led to the adoption of laws and ordinances away from the wording and spirit of our Constitution.
condemn and reject stereotypes and discriminatory language, racism of any kind and, in particular, institutional, instrumental use of the reference to the cultural roots and religion to justify policies, local and national, rejection and exclusion.
remember that the right to emigrate is recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and that human history has always been the history of migration: without them, no process of civilization and culture of the construction would take place. Violation of this and other fundamental rights offends and harms society as a whole and not only the individuals affected.
The contrast between 'us' and 'them', 'indigenous' and 'foreign' is destined to fall, giving way to an awareness that we are "together" old and new
citizens committed to go ahead with the country and build the future.
We want it to end here and now, the policy of the two weights and two measures, laws and action of people.
Our first objective is to organize for the March 1, 2010, a great non-violent demonstration by an European, not only with France and with the Journée sans immigrés, sans nous 24h inspired us, but also with Spain, Greece and other countries that are turning viavia. We want to stimulate them with really serious thinking about what would happen if the millions of immigrants living and working in Europe decided to fold their arms or leave.
On 1 March we will hear our voices in ways that will be established in consultation with local committees, based on concrete workability and effectiveness. We do not foreclose any instrument, but we will act always within the law and non-violence. The reference color
First March 2010 yellow . We chose it because it is considered the color change and its political neutrality: The yellow is not in fact refers to any deployment in particular.
We encourage you to use, even now, a yellow bracelets or a ribbon as a sign of recognition.

"Mysteriously" a week ago, Joy's lawyer discovers that he was revoked and that his place was appointed a lawyer office, un'emerita unknown.
There are many questions that arise naturally arises: do not know if the request is really playing with Joy and whether it has been under pressure or blackmail, and why he decided not to talk to his lawyer and the Nigerian intervened.
That there is someone who wants to cover up the fact is that does not want you to know how the story went?
Unfortunately there is still no answer.

Ambien Benzodiazepine Cross Tolerance
This is a contribution to the discussion and the path that Empoli have started and that will lead us to the First in March 2010. "A day without us", as has been described by those who have thought in France, "a day with us," so many companies in Italy are the thinking, actually mestizo and Italian immigrants made up one day with us, with the precarious workers and unemployed, with employees and consultants, a day of indigenous peoples and migrants, one day with all of us to see what we mean.
issue on which we think is important, at least at Empoli, reflect and discuss, is the meaning of the day, what will we say the first of March. We believe that simply say "we" is much too limiting.
We believe that the drift that took Italy in terms of widespread racism, both subjective and collective (as has happened in the city of Rosarno where there has been a veritable manhunt with guns) not is due to bad luck or a curse that has struck our country, but the precise causes and therefore responsible. In short, racism is not
scarogn
to! First responsible for the widespread racism, even the seemingly harmless of the "talk bar" (it is located in its humus social space and the legitimacy of aggression towards the "different"), is called "institutional racism", which is in laws that governments at all levels, emanate. Making the law for different people, through the law say that someone has rights and who is not, excluded from citizenship of a party (always larger) of the population creates the other hand, the guaranteed (Always smaller), a reaction, sometimes unconsciously, shows the excluded as inferior, not worthy of equal rights of others, almost not human beings like everyone else. Then it matters little that such laws are applied or not, the effect on a social level, devastating, there is one inherent in the enactment of the law, or order.
Italian laws on immigration are clearly steeped in racism, exclusion from citizenship and demagoguery: the security package introduces the crime of illegal immigration, but does not create mechanisms to expel the non-regular, not the least increases the penalties for those who exploit illegal workers, or allows those who are illegally exploited and can terminate the situation without being ejected. This is demagoguery on the one hand it says it wants to deport illegal immigrants, the other is produced underground and a huge work force outside the sphere of rights and protections, to be used without risk of penalties, and through its exploitation exit by the crisis. This first led to the revolt of light Rosarno.
The Bossi-Fini law makes illegal because it prevents structurally, with calculation, any form of legalization for those who have a job for years, so that makes it impossible to activate channels of legal entry to the territory. Think for a moment last decree on immigration, when 700,000 applications for regularization were made by many employers that offered a permanent position and the certainty of a home. Of these, only 170,000 applications were received for so determining the shares, leaving 530,000 people who could make entry into the law in a situation of forced underground. What logic can ever justify this data? You read these numbers ideological political will to remain in a precarious situation, and then complete exploitation of the greatest number of people possible?
Identification and Expulsion Centres (CIE) are places where you do not lock up criminals, but people who have not committed any crime, the invisible ones that try to be the first of March see. New camps, where imprisoned persons as excluded from the decree on immigration, living and working in Italy, people like the men of Rosarno, worked in Italy, regular people today, but tomorrow because of the crisis could lose their jobs and therefore the residence permit. There seems paradoxical that in a globalized world where everything moves freely from one part of the globe (information, money, goods, ...), have remained not only human beings to move freely, to meet all boundaries types everywhere: human beings, paradoxically the most protected by international charters. Today we will be
Square, along with the First Committee of Empoli in March, to say this, to reiterate that there is no security without rights, that rights apply to humans, not their arms, we are human beings first, then workers.

Popped Blood Vessels On Breasts
time ago I wrote an article
on self-built house: far from being a joke, but it was a very serious issue on the increasingly common practice of working groups also meet in order to build such a thing as home, while having the security of having a house without actually being cheated, have contracted a loan to build independently, save on manpower.
As a subscriber to the podcast of the radio program
Novalab24 of 24
Radio, I heard the program yesterday on 'open source hardware , a subject which I had already I had heard and read about, mostly for what concerns the computer science and logic boards. I never thought there would have been the biggest projects of a PC built with a similar approach.
: generally, in the vulgate common with this term s'intendeno computer programs and free
born to the Linux environment. Vision, this is wrong and limited, often not corresponding to reality. To Open Source (
literally "open source"
) was intended originally that software which was also distributed with the source files the original list that had generated the code distribution. The reason why doing such a thing is almost philosophical
sources and if I want to improve the software or adapt it to my needs I can do . Obviously this idea generated advantages and disadvantages, especially for conferring nature of the works and gave rise to all that vast and complex world that today is indeed united under this common condition. A world based on public licenses that allow you to link its name and that of your company to a project; a world that has created its own peculiar system of bussiness , based on the very concept of induced , but who had the ability to give rise to real corporations.
Yes, because with the Open Source
you can earn, and even a lot, so that today names like Red Hat , Novell or Sun Microsystem is able to know them a bit 'all. Open Source believed big names like IBM , Apple and even Microsoft . Many websites in the world are based on Open Source platforms in whole or in part, from the
CMS Server to mail . Not to mention the browser with which they visit which most often is seprate FireFox. Wrapped these products are free because they get money in other ways or because their purpose is to create induced and induced them to survive is by making continuous updates. An example is precisely the CMS : they can only survive by subsidies and enhanced through the work of those developers who then will charge its clients to install and maintain. ... And the hardware? years on the Internet it is argued that the ownership of patents on inventions due to higher prices of computer components: the constant legal battles that arise whenever international that a new product is introduced on the market are a sign of a problem that leads to a limitation in the ability to design and develop new products and new technologies released from the body of the mark, the major industry. The world of software and Internet in particular has shown that there is no need to be afraid to freely distribute an idea or a project: not only did not renounce the bussiness, but innovation is created, go to other minds find ways to improve, creating a melting pot of ideas that lead to a more modern product, innovative, powerful and well suited to solve problems in everyday life. You can do something similar with the hardware, the physical object, solid?
Someone has said yes, thinking that in the end, the objects come from the projects and plans are documents ( paper or digital, it makes no difference ), has well-designed to distribute for free on Internet projects Some inventions.
The trend was such that if initially we started with logic boards like Arduino project
, and after a while you get to
modular units and a mobile phone now, the same principle as the projects are distributed cars.
Cars philosophically correct, of course, ecological, economic, environmentally sustainable and open source!
Small and ecological
On the Internet there are two models: the first, reported by 24 Novalab is Riversimple , U.S. plans for a minicar hydrogen engine with very small . Do not expect anything that it is bad, as most of these cars. About the project focuses on the technology and leave out the frills. Assumes that small means cheap because made little material . Conceptually, it is also true, and then, because the principle of the Open Source project, to fix it aesthetic, does not take much, just and only want to write a nice e-mail (in English
) and you will see that this type of contribution will be welcome. Meanwhile it is interesting to see what they managed to do it in two, and relying on a online community
. Why is the speech community
= solution that is essential in such projects: it is a project and then try to involve other
via the Internet to make contributions to solving problems. The engineer that give you a tip, the mechanic who leaves a tip, the electrician that will explain the pattern of a plant, the chemical that elucidates the processes for using hydrogen as fuel. All joined together with a common purpose, starting from the crazy idea some two American boys.
Then there's the "scientific" approach, university typical of us Europeans, who imbued dottologia , just put in the middle of the professoroni here is another project so the flavor less do- it-yourself, c, mm, n ( pronounced "common", meaning "common, common, ordinary" English ). Project created by a consortium of Dutch universities, which involves students, scientists, researchers and ordinary Internet users, but used to get feedbacks on the choices made and the result is a electric concept car the size a Smart , but she too ugly (the Riversimple was ugly, but it had the justification of the model done in scratch ... but here you see all the styles of the two volumes of the Renault Kangoo
emule).
Okay, Americans, of course, could not fail to one of the basic tenets of their culture: we like big ( stains! That understood? )! Here is an open source project car but to put it a bit 'you pay, about $ 35,000 : figure justified by the fact that it is anything but environmentally friendly and is a super off-road monster to compete with the Cayenne. It's called Rally Fighter ( sborona car, name sborone ...) and is designed entirely by a small company, Local Motors. And in Italy? But do you really believe that in our part can download a constructive plan to assemble a car and at home following a tutorial and then circulate? But let me pleasure! Do not even think about it! And the engine? And the pollution? And road safety? And the FIAT? What do you say? The first two are electric? C'avete right! And the ENEL? No. We no cars open source ... but a means of transport based on this new concept of distribution project there! Do not you expected, huh?! born, of course, the academic, the result of a research university and is the bike to water.
What do you say? How is that stuff?
Seeing what seems to think well ... that is what I mean, I would ennoble, but in essence this is what you see in the picture ... a pedalo. Okay by ... and do not do so ... center that I? What awaits you? Thank God Almighty that this er er convent offers you, right? Ecological
is ecological, nun no doubt ...
not emit polluting gases, unless you eat heavy, but in summer, the heat, I do not think there cibiate of beans with pork rind on the beach ...
then do vobis
... congratulations if you can ... that portentous your gut. In sum
! Here is a matter of principle! And the Prince is that The Open Waterbike
, though it is a pedal car, is a project for a transportation open source! And do not insult!
I leave you with a nice link, Harkopen , where you'll find all the open source hardware projects that more you like. Enjoy.
