  • A Reggio Emilia Un Test Match Per Il Mondiale Le Azzurre Affrontano in Amichevole L’Irlanda
    A REGGIO EMILIA UN TEST MATCH PER IL MONDIALE LE AZZURRE AFFRONTANO IN AMICHEVOLE L’IRLANDA Nei 4 incontri giocati nella città emiliana l’Italia ha ottenuto 3 vittorie e una sconfitta. Nel 2016 lo stadio ‘Città del Tricolore’ ospitò la finale della Women’s Champions League Reggio Emilia, 8 aprile 2019 ‐ Prosegue la marcia di avvicinamento della Nazionale Femminile al Mondiale di Francia 2019. Dopo i successi nelle amichevoli di gennaio con Cile (2‐1) e Galles (2‐0), la bella cavalcata nella ‘Cyprus Cup’, con l’Italia per il secondo anno consecutivo finalista e sconfitta soltanto ai rigori dalla Corea del Nord, venerdì a Lublino la squadra di Milena Bertolini ha pareggiato 1‐1 con la Polonia: alla splendida rete di Valentina Cernoia su calcio di punizione ha risposto nel primo tempo l’attaccante polacca Ewa Pajor, poi nella ripresa il palo e la traversa hanno negato a Daniela Sabatino e Sara Gama la gioia del gol. Un altro test probante attende adesso le Azzurre, che domani (ore 18.30 – diretta Rai Sport+HD) affronteranno l’Irlanda allo stadio ‘Città del Tricolore’ di Reggio Emilia in un’amichevole densa di significati per la Ct Milena Bertolini, nata a Correggio e cresciuta calcisticamente nella Reggiana. Quella con la nazionale irlandese, che occupa il 31° posto nel ranking FIFA e non è riuscita a staccare il pass per il Mondiale, sarà la quinta gara giocata dalla Nazionale femminile a Reggio Emilia: nei quattro precedenti l’Italia ha raccolto tre successi (2‐0 alla Francia nel 1988, 4‐1 alla Svizzera nel 1989 e 3‐1 all’Irlanda del Nord nell’aprile 2016) e una sconfitta (2‐3 con la Danimarca nel 1989).

His desire to engage students in his subject – plant science - prompted him to create an experimental garden for Bloom last year, which has now been given a permanent home as an outdoor classroom in the Science Quad. The Evolution of Land Plants Garden illustrates how plant evolution coincided with climate change over the eras and ultimately enabled the development and survival of humans. EILIS O’BRIEN Director of Communication As Paul describes the garden himself: “Travelling through plant evolution, and Marketing from their humble origins and dependence on water, to plants colonising water margins, to finally plants gaining independence in where they can grow, the garden tells the story of plant development: from cuticles, to vascular systems, to seeds and finally to flowers. This journey through time is accompanied by a set of panels making references to animals - spiders, dragon flies, dinosaurs and humans - whose existence depends on, and would not be possible without, plants to sustain their life.” Designed by Dr Caroline Elliott-Kingston, UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, and architect and horticulturalist, Nicola Haines, the Evolution Garden won the Gold Medal for Best in Concept category at Bloom.
