Terremoto in Italia

      

            Non c'è pace per i cittadini dell'Emilia, a una settimana dal sisma che ha causato sette morti e migliaia di sfollati. Nella mattinata di domenica 27 maggio la terra è tornata a tremare. Alle ore 8,39 una scossa di magnitudo 3,1 ha colpito le zone di Finale Emilia, Bonderno, Mirabello e Sant'Agostino, tra le provincie di Ferrara e Modena. Dopo poco più di un'ora un altro terremoto, di magnitudo 2,2 ha interessato la stessa area.
          A Bondeno, in provincia di Ferrara, intanto, è stata abbattuta la ciminiera, alta circa 45 metri e risalente al 1916, danneggiata dal sisma del 20 maggio.
Il Reggimento Genio Ferrovieri di Castelmaggiore (Bologna) è stato chiamato a demolire il manufatto a causa del pericolo di crollo. La ciminiera  infatti pende verso la strada. La struttura sarà demilita con la tecnica della caduta controllata, in maniera che cada su un'area predisposta per ridurre al minimo la proiezione di materiale.

        Não há paz para os cidadãos da região de Emilia, a uma semana do terremoto que causou sete mortes e milhares de desabrigados. Na  parte da manhã de 27 de maio de domingo, a terra voltou a tremer. Às 08:39 horas um abalo de magnitude 3,1 atingiu as zonas de Finale Emilia, Bonderno, Mirabello e Sant´ Agostino, entre as províncias de Ferrara e Modena. Depois de pouco mais de uma hora um outro terremoto, de magnitude 2,2  envolveu a mesma área.

         Em Bondeno, na província de Ferrara, enquanto isso, foi abaixo a chaminé, alta de cerca de 45 metros e erguida em 1916, danificada pelo sismo de 20 de maio.

O Regimento “Gênio” Ferroviários  de Castelmaggiore (Bologna) foi chamado para demolir a construção por causa do perigo de desabamento. A chaminé de fato inclina-se na direção da estrada. A estrutura será demolida com a técnica da demolição controlada, de maneira que caia sobre uma área demarcada para reduzir ao mínimo a projeção de estilhaços.)

                      A FATHER´S INSTRUCTIONS  FOR LIFE

                       Condensed from “LIFE´S LITTLE INSTRUCTIONS BOOK”

                                     H. JACKSON BROWN, JR.

Years ago, I read that  it was the responsibility of parents not to pave the road for their children, but to provide a road map. So, as my son, Adams, prepared to leave for college, I jotted down a few words of counsel and put them  in a dime-store binder. After his mother and I had helped him move into his dorm, I presented him with the bound pages.

A few days later, Adam called me. “Dad,” he said, “the book is one of the best gifts I´ve ever received. I´m going to add to it and someday give it to my son.”Every once in a while life hands you a moment so precious, so overwhelming, that you almost glow. I had just experienced one.

Here are the words I gave him.

Ø  COMPLIMENT THREE PEOPLE EACH DAY.

Ø  WATCH A SUNRISE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

Ø  OVERTIP BREAKFAST WAITRESSES.

Ø  PRAY NOT FOR THINGS, BUT FOR WISDOM AND COURAGE.

Ø  DON´T EXPECT LIFE TO BE FAIR.
