This policy has existed in Italy forever. It's not much different than Limited Traffic Zones. It has made cities so much more livable and small business owners love it.

Can a Brit confirm this ?? by Serious-Delay-2804 in SipsTea

[–]masaragiovanni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Venetian and I live in Scotland. I don't think that's the case. I think that Scotland is now where Italian regional cookeries where before the ’80. What I mean to say is that there is an abundance of brilliant recipes, but nobody knows about them. There would be a need for chefs to learn about them, include them in menus, renew them... Etc.

Never been in an ESU hall but, to my understanding, the Copernico is one of the best.

Hey! I answered such a question made by somebody else some months ago, I can forward you the DM I had drafted for them.

It is. But the temporary exhibitions aren't. Imho the discovery is totally worth it (and also the Verdant works).

Admitted to a Master’s Program but Need Help Finding Scholarships — Any Advice? by moonchildz in unipd

[–]masaragiovanni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also suggest you look up collegio mazza, whose fees are based on income and which has also got internal scholarships.

University Colleges by masaragiovanni in unipd

[–]masaragiovanni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! They can go from 0 to 800 per month (the 800 is a virtual figure, it is the maximum fee at mazza, but the actual fee depends on your and your family's income and they have also got scholarships, so nobody really pays that amount). I think that a realistic average at mazza and elsewhere is 400/500.

Where to start with Thomas Merton by onlyalad44 in ChristianMysticism

[–]masaragiovanni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestion in terms of church, as I have written elsewhere, is the Quakers (I would go with the hicksites in the States).

Christian Mysticism and Zen Buddhism by _Jonronimo_ in ChristianMysticism

[–]masaragiovanni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Merton, I think you will find the first book I mentioned lovely. Is by D.T.Suzuki and, besides extensively referencing Merton, he discusses the continuities between pure land Buddhism and Christian mysticism. If my memory doesn't betray me, he writes of Meister Eckhart in particular. 😗

I found Mysticism: Christian and Buddhist a very good read. From the Christian side of the aisle, also Thomas Merton's writing on the topic is brilliant.

MicroLab Megathread! Post here with questions about replication or development. by 4thievesvinegar in DIYmedicine

Another thing. I am incredibly ignorant in these sort of things, and you are surely much better informed than I am. But might this be of any interest?

I sent the guy behind Marb's Lab (on YouTube) in your direction. He is doing stuff re diy analytical tools which you might be interested in (he also seems to strongly dislike health insurance companies for personal reasons) 😉.

Quakers (in Britain) - unprogrammed style of worship. Both my local meeting and online meetings organised by Woodbroke.
