For the Dogs in Calabria It Is Really an Emergency State For the Dogs in Calabria it is really an Emergency State! If the phenomenon of summer abandonment seems - fortunately - to be progressively diminished, in line with the rest of Italy (except then to reckon with accommodation facilities at all "animal friendly"), unfortunately, the cases of unprecedented and unjustified violence increase dramatically against our beloved 4-legged friends. It is very sad to have to read continuously on the pages of newspapers poisoned dogs, killed with sticks, suffocated, mistreated ... Years ago we faced the phenomenon of stray dogs in Lamezia Terme, allowing us - with humility and collaborative spirit - to provide some suggestions to solve seriously and concretely a problem that afflicts many city centers. In reality, stray dogs are never treated as a problem, but they are underestimated by local administrators, who instead have responsibilities towards the 4-legged friends who live in the municipal territory, so much so that in the taxes paid by citizens already included a part intended for the welfare of the animals! Such indifference leaves room for acts of cruelty, which - again, it is divided into several parts by the exacerbation of penalties - are not adequately prosecuted and punished. The lack of sufficient funds for the management of kennels and shelters is not a valid justification! And the "incidents" that have as protagonists members of the police forces "forced" to the use of weapons, can not be accepted: other methods can be used to cope with the rare cases in which dogs terrorized and / or injured seem to be unmanageable or aggressive (in reserves in Africa, where wild animals are aggressive by their nature, anesthetic darts have been used for decades only if forced)! Yesterday has received yet another news of poisoned dogs in the province of Crotone (Cutro), but unfortunately there are also in Reggio Calabria, Vibo Valentia, Catanzaro and Cosenza. 1 Rather than favoring "questionable educational projects", such as hunting lessons for children (in Cotronei), it is necessary and absolutely urgent that the Regional Government bodies intervene on local administrations with concrete initiatives to protect the animals. Respect education towards Every Creature, Compassion and Empathy towards sentient Beings (that is, that they feel feelings, emotions and pain like us), is fundamental if we still want to be able to say to live in a civil place (as Gandhi said "La greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats animals " )! We at Change Destiny refer readers to the vision of our "man friend?" Permanent Campaign at: https://youtu.be/vKi8IqG8oGw Dr. Angela E.M.

Private Utilities and Environmental Damage Sommario Le condizioni di rischio territoriale derivanti dall'attività di estrazione mineraria di salgemma, nei pressi dell'abitato di Belve­ dere Spinello (Kr), vengono qui presentate e discusse. A tal proposito sono state eseguite analisi geochimiche, su campioni d'acqua di falda e superficiali, che hanno rilevato un diffuso e consistente inquinamento delle risorse idriche naturali e per un'estensione di gran lunga superiore a quella di concessione mineraria. Condizione di crisi territoriale ulteriore, è rappre­ sentata dagli elevati e diffusi tassi di subsidenza su tutto il bacino minerario.

Summary The potential hazard conditions to the land caused by salt mining near the town of Belvedere Spinello (Province of Crotone, Calabria) are presented and discussed. Geochemical analyses were carried out on aquifer and surface water samples. These showed that there is widespread and substantial pollution of the natural water resources and this contamination regards an a­ rea well beyond the immediate mining district.

    Specialties to Taste When in Calabria Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Specialties to Taste When in Calabria Tommaso Cartia (June 22, 2017) From the wooded mountains to the emerald sea, Calabria’s Ionian Coast is a richly nuanced land with millennia-old traditions. The region has remained largely unspoiled and as a consequence is teeming with fresh goods. In fact, only the freshest and most local products are dished up here. Neither can you talk about this part of Calabria without mentioning its production of Mediterranean-style wines and liqueurs. Not for nothing, in ancient times the region was called “Enotria” (“wine country” in Greek), and Greek colonies were indeed the first to cultivate wine in the region. Read on to find out some of the most noteworthy products and the finest wines from Calabria’s Ionian Coast. La Sardella Also known as mustica, sardella is a kind of poor-man’s caviar. The locally produced red sauce is made with young anchovies, sardines or baby sardines (“sardelle”), powdered hot peppers, salt, and other herbs, like wild fennel seed. Another highly sought after version of the dish is rose-marina red mullet, which turns pink after being fished and tastes sweeter than anchovies. Baby anchovies are mostly fished during the months of March and April, and Sardella can be found throughout Calabria and in Sicily. Sardella can be rolled into patties or used as a pasta sauce or simply eaten fresh with a little olive oil, lemon and bread. Originally from the province of Crotone, the Ionian Alto Page 1 of 3 Specialties to Taste When in Calabria Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Cosentino and the Lower Ionian, the product is laid claim to by other cities, too, like Cruculi, nicknamed the Land of Sardella.

PYRGOS 4 Pyrgos, the town of the ancient perfumes… Pyrgos village is located 13 km east of Limassol, the second biggest city of Cyprus. The village is built at an average altitude of 85 meters. The altitude presents a noticeable increase from the settlement to the north and near its north administrative boundaries it reaches 488 meters. In the south of the settlement the altitude steadily decreases and comes down to about 50 meters. Further south the altitude decreases steadily up to the sea. History The village existed during the Medieval times under the exact same name. In old maps it is marked under the name Pirgo and Birgo. The name of the village originated from the fact that there was a tower in the region, apparently one of the Byzantine years. A tower must have existed also during the Frank domination era, in the sense of a central building of a family of nobles, to which the village -as a feud -belonged to.

Populations at the border of otter range suffer a high risk of extinction and need frequent monitoring. Here we report about a survey carried out by the standard method in the central Calabria region (Sila Massif and surroundings), which cur- rently represents the southern limit of otter distribution. Otter presence has been recorded for 7 out of 31 sites (22.6%), all belonging to the catchment of the River Savuto. A previ- ous record for the River Neto has not been confirmed. A total of 22 spraints has been col- lected and analysed. Salmonids (Salmo trutta) formed the bulk of otter diet (Vm% = 52.1). Damming and over-fishing could represent the main obstacles to the recolonisation of the area by otters. Habitat management should be addressed to reinforce the existing population and favour its connection to the core of otter range. Key words: Distribution, diet, dams, southern Apennines, Mediterranean ecosystems RIASSUNTO – Monitoraggio della distribuzione della Lontra Lutra lutra al limite meri- dionale del suo areale italiano.

POLICY PROCESS EVALUATION SUMMARY The industrial restructuring of the 1970s, the sluggish economic growth of the 1980s and the difficult macroeconomic scenario of the early 1990s which preceded the Italy’s joining of the EMU, gradually reduced the space for Keynesian economic policies in the country. In certain geographical areas, unemployment remained high over a long period of time and the Italian state had to confront this situation which was becoming socially and politically unsustainable.
