Ikigai - a reason for being

2018-08-25T00:22:00.001-07:00

For Japanese workers in big cities, a typical work day begins with a state called sushi-zume, a term which likens commuters squeezed into a crowded train car to tightly packed grains of rice in sushi.

Essentially, ikigai is the reason why you get up in the morning

The stress doesn’t stop there. The country’s notorious work culture ensures most people put in long hours at the office, governed by strict hierarchical rules. Overwork is not uncommon and the last trains home on weekdays around midnight are filled with people in suits. How do they manage?

The secret may have to do with what Japanese call ikigai. There is no direct English translation, but it’s a term that embodies the idea of happiness in living. Essentially, ikigai is the reason why you get up in the morning...

Brazil's FIFA World Cup™ - Coppa del Mondo FIFA 2014 Brasile - FIFA World Cup 2014

2014-05-28T10:40:00.003-07:00

Brazil's FIFA World Cup™ hopefuls began training in cool and rainy conditions Wednesday at their base camp in the hills outside Rio de Janeiro. If the squad had been hoping for balmy conditions at their Granja Comary complex in the town of Teresopolis they would have suffered a rude awakening, with the thermometer showing just 17 Celsius as they trotted onto a chilly pitch.

Under the watchful gaze of 2002 World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, the 23-man squad began their session shortly after 10.00 after some indoor warm-ups - the three goalkeepers following the programme in reverse. Chelsea midfielder Oscar, coming off a hip injury, and striker Jo, likewise shaking off fitness problems as he looks to play second fiddle to main striker Fred, both joined the group from the outset for an hour-long session.
The bulk of the squad, most of whom play in Europe, had arrived on Monday. Tuesday they underwent a series of fitness tests, preparing to hit tip-top shape for their 12 June Opening Match against Croatia in Sao Paulo. Before then the team will play two friendlies - against Panama on 3 June in Goiania and Serbia three days later in the Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo.The Croatian game will be played in the Corinthians Arena before A Seleção meet Mexico and Cameroon to complete their Group A fixtures.

ARA PACIS MUSEUM

The Ara Pacis is the first work of architecture built in the historic center of Rome since the fall of the Fascist era. The space was designed by Richard Meier & Partners Architects, author of some of the most important museums of the second half of the twentieth century.The Ara Pacis is one of the finest examples of classical art. Its construction was passed by the Senate in 13 BC to honor the return of Augustus from the provinces of Gaul and Spain, where over three years the Emperor had consolidated the power of Rome and its staff, a trailblazer, founded colonies. The altar was built along the Via Flaminia, the northern boundary of the Campus Martius, but the nature of the flood and the flood of the Tiber, by depositing layers of silt over the area, soon led to the burial Altar, of which memory is completely lost. The reconstruction of the monument was decided in view of the anniversary, in 1937/8, the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Augustus.Entrusted archaeologist Giuseppe Moretti, it was physically realized in the summer of 1938 in Hall of Ripetta, built in haste from a project architect Ballio Morpurgo.Settled along the Tiber, the Ara Pacis risked being compromised by the inadequacy of its container, which could not be isolated from traffic, exhaust, overheating, moisture rising from the dust and then fatty acid that is deposited and on its marbles and the plaster.The new museum complex has therefore been designed in view of conservation of the monument, both from the environmental point of view both in the earthquake-proof system.

THE COLOSSEUM

The Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum, is one of the most famous Roman monuments in the world. The name derives from the enormous Colosseum bronze statue of Nero that was erected in the vicinity and that, considering how much was known as the Colossus of Nerone.La construction of the amphitheater was begun by Vespasian, but completed by Titus in 80 AD and open to the public with a grand opening lasted a good hundred days that remain of the descriptions in the ancient chronicles. The Colosseum was built with the specific aim of giving the Roma a place worthy of the fame of his gladiatorial games that were previously held temporary wooden building erected by Nero in the Campus Martius after the old amphitheater of Taurus was destroyed Tito Laurel in the famous fire of 64 ADPreviously games were made either in the Roman Forum or the Forum Boario that were equipped with mobile facilities for these occasions. Throughout the Empire, the Colosseum was repeatedly restoration resulting in fires and earthquakes have to remember speeches by Antoninus Pius, of Heliogabalus and Alexander Severus, the latter due to restoration because of a disastrous fire in 217 AD and other restorations, commemorated by inscriptions, after the earthquake of 443 AD.

In 249, one thousandth of the founding of Rome, there were celebrated solemn feasts: among other shows, there was a battle of a thousand pairs of gladiators were killed and 32 elephants, 10 elks, 10 tigers, 60 lions, 10 hyenas, 10 giraffes, 20 wild donkeys, wild horses 40, 10 zebras, hippos 6. The gladiator fights there lasted until 404, when they were suppressed by Honorius (perhaps after the sacrifice of Telemachus, who monaco, cacciatosi boldly into the arena to prevent them, was killed by the crowd); those of wild animals since the mid sec.VI .The Amphitheatre has the shape of an ellipse having the major axis of 188 m. the lesser of 156 and the circumference of 527. Along the perimeter huge turn and rises 57 m to the solemn travertine exterior architecture, consisting of three levels of arches on pillars which are leaned against the half-columns of the three orders Doric, Ionic and Corinthian crowns the building quarter Order of slender Corinthian pilasters against solid masonry, similar to a high loft, with small rectangular windows, two-thirds of the height of this order turns a crown of large brackets equidistant: they served to support the pali, which, inserted in corresponding holes open in the terminal cornice, supported the awning that protected spectators from the sun and was manned by sailors trained. The blocks of travertine were originally united with cramps of iron, which were torn in the Middle Ages, leaving holes that can still be seen. The building was of travertine, tufa, bricks and concrete, marble interior. It is estimated that, overall, have been put in place more than 100,000 cubic meters of travertine, marble and other materials in addition to, and that the connecting pins of the blocks have occurred about 300 tons of iron.Inside, the seats of the auditorium was divided into three zones: the first reserved for the knights, citizens, the middle one, the most elevala the people. Above the third (summa) was probably another flight of steps behind the columns, provided with wooden seats reserved for women; above the colonnade, a terrace was intended for viewers who remained standing. Approximately 50 000 people (according to some, 73000), could take place in the amphitheater, they rank first or podium, equipped with a high parapet, contained the imperial box (pulvinar), for the emperors and their retinue, while the senators, the pontiffs, vestals, judges occupied the rest of the podium. After the 523 A.D. you have no other news shows, the Colosseum began its phase of decline of ruin that transformed the amphitheater into a quarry for building materials.

The Windmill of Castel Sant'Angelo.

June 29, 2012

For the feast of the Patron Saints of Cities, SS Peter and Paul, not to be missed at Castel Sant'Angelo!

On June 29, 2012 confirms the tradition of THE WINDMILL of Castel Sant'Angelo, the phantasmagorical spectacle of fireworks, introduced in 1481 for the exaltation of the papacy of Sixtus IV and brought to light thanks to the meticulous philological research of Cav . Giuseppe Passeri del Gruppo IX Invicta.

Lungotevere Tor di Nona, Lungotevere Altoviti , Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II,Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, Ponte Umberto I and Via Banco Spirito are the lookouts, around Castel Sant'Angelo, advised the public to better enjoy the show.

Today, thanks to a very sophisticated technological apparatus which makes use of radio control units for the ignition of the burners, 18 technicians and a designer is able to cope - in absolute safety for them and the surrounding environment - at a job that in past, saw the participation of over 100 men, with considerable savings on costs of labor that would otherwise be prohibitive. The creation of mixtures of fires following the dictates and directions of the old masters, to ensure the intensity and color brilliance.

But what was the Windmill?

"The Maraviglia of Time" was born in Rome in 1481 by Pope Sixtus IV, and from that point is then used to celebrate major events and religious holidays of the year, like Easter, the feast of Saints Peter and Paul and the coronation of the new PopeWindmill and explain what that was, for over three hundred years is complicated, as it would be reductive to define a simple fireworks, because the Windmill was an event that attracted spectators from all over Europe, an event where foreigners flocked to every grade and social class until 1861, when the vagaries of time and memory are then relegated into obscurity this ancient festive time during which the Castle, and Rome itself, became a stage for spectators on the opposite bank of the Tevere.

According to tradition it was Michelangelo Buonarroti, the creator of the Windmill in the period in which to work, commissioned by Pope Julius II, is the historically established subsequent reworking of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who honed the set of the movement.

Today, thanks to technology that uses radio control units for the lighting of fires, 18 technicians and designers are able to do - safely - the work we undertook a time over a hundred men. Scrupulously faithful to the ancient Windmill are the mixtures of the fires, to ensure the brightness and colors of the Renaissance. All this, with great technical and complex as those of the past: 5 points for starting the fires, over 400 "acceleration", 600 "Roman candles" and "fountains falistranti".

The Windmill 2012 is sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Culture and is sponsored by the Capitol (Department of Cultural Policies and Historical Center, the Cultural Commission) and the Ministry of Heritage and Culture. Design, layout and organization by the Invicta Group IX, in collaboration with Zètema Culture Project.

It will take place in the Sala Sinopoli, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, the Campeonato, which provides for the performance of the Cuarteto The Bordona, with singer Juan Villareal and the pairs of dancers Milena Plebs David-Alexandre Palo, Horacio Godoy-Magdalena Gutiérrez Calviño and Los Macana brothers Enrique and Guillermo De Fazio, renowned for the originality of their creations.
The quartet will accompany the Bordona live every night of the Campeonato de Campeones, festival produced by the Fondazione Musica per Roma, and in collaboration with the City of Buenos.

The tango, considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will be celebrated in all its nuances, with concerts, animated by the master of the bandoneon, displays of items doc seminars, dance classes, conferences, exhibitions. But even outdoors, in the auditorium, you will breathe the atmosphere of passion and melancholy thanks to open-air milongas, in total freedom, until late at night.

To forget your worries and indulge in the pleasure of music that speaks directly to the heart, the tango is the right remedy.
