It's already August! For most of the workers here in Italy it's time to go on holidays. Many people go the sea, many others go to the mountains. We are lucky as we have both of them but every good location becomes quite crowded in this period of the year. Note: free image from Pixabay

In this period my desire for summer grows. But finding clear waters isn't always easy, you'd want to move to a tropical island. Note: free image from Pixabay
I am very surprised to see how people's reactions to significant events change over time. Let's take for example the war between Russia and Ukraine: in the first weeks everyone discussed about it, between dismay and disgust. After only a few months, despite the tensions have not subsided, indifference reigns among Western countries. Note: free image from Pixabay
A new wave of heat and drought is covering Europe. And it's not the first time this summer. We really need to change our lives and take better care of the environment around us. Note: free image from Pixabay
I have a particular esteem for the Scorpions, a historical German band close to heavy metal that has survived through ups and downs since 1965. The founder, Rudolf Schenker, is still part of the band. How can you forget their most famous song, also abroad, Wind of Change, which was published in 1990. And the last album issued in 2022, Rock Believer, has a sound that I really like. Note: free image from Pixabay
What I have noticed this year, in the trips I have made in recent months, is the significant increase in people who rely on the plane as a means of transport. It could perhaps be due to people's desire to move after the global closures during the covid period. Note: free image from Pixabay
The durability of a smartphone has always intrigued me. In the past, I was able to make a smartphone last 3 years thanks to the replacement of the battery which was easily interchangeable. Now I struggle to reach two years, mainly due to the shortening of the battery life, which lasts only a couple of hours after few months of intense use. A very strong technological obsolescence, undoubtedly. Note: free image from Pixabay

I would have liked to be able to draw, but unfortunately it is not one of my qualities. Nowadays, those who are able to create artistic digital content have a significant advantage that can also be turned into a source of income. Note: free image from Pixabay
Vintage cars have always had a great charm, at least so far given the strong discussions on air pollution and environmental sustainability. I wonder what these ancient cars will become in the future if fossil fuels are banned. Note: free image from Pixabay
There are now 7 billion people in the world, but they are nothing compared to the trees on the Earth, which according to some estimations are about 3 trillion. Note: free image from Pixabay
In recent years there has been a gradual concentration of the population in the metropolis, which on the one hand allows easier access to high quality jobs, but often determines a worsening of living conditions. This phenomenon, at least in Europe, has begun to slow down, if not reverse, after the covid and the general introduction of remote working. I hope that this trend continues in order to enhance the appreciation of the country side. Note: free image from Pixabay
We should invest more in listening to our body and sensations, instead of continuing to chase goals that others design for us and that bring us only stress. Note: free image from Pixabay
The metaverse is the place to be. Although many companies still look at it with suspicion, they probably do not realize that it is already part of the culture of the new generations. Note: free image from Pixabay
Speaking of metaverse, several years ago I remember the first experiences with Second Life, a virtual universe where you could meet people and carry out various activities with your avatar. At the time, it was probably not yet ready to develop the environment. Note: free image from Pixabay
In Italy, as in other European countries, we have been very lucky receiving a noteworthy urban heritage. Our job is to preserve and maintain it for future generations. Note: free image from Pixabay
In recent years the food supplements market has grown a lot thanks to the strong demand of many people who find themselves without energy due to the strong work stress. The problem is that there are no scientific tests that support the actual effectiveness of these supplements. Note: free image from Pixabay
A substance that is often deficient in adults is vitamin D, which low levels are often linked to the reclusive and sedentary lifestyle of recent years. For this reason, many try to integrate it even if the best solution would be to change lifestyle and remain more exposed to the sun with adequate protection. Note: free image from Pixabay
