The Platonic meditation

From the description in some dialogues of the attitudes of Socrates (469-399 BC) before dealing with a specific technique dialectical argument, one wonders what would be the meditation of Platonic type (taught initially probably by Anaxagoras), since that for example in the "Symposium" some guests at a banquet discuss about love, but Socrates does not arrive unmoving to think and to repeated invitations to go and call the friends respond to leave him in peace and not disturb while meditating. Plato wrote many steps to be able to make it clear to the reader what was the careful preparation that the teacher Socrates adopted for exposing the true essence of ideas, moreover, we know from other authors that was able to remain motionless for a whole day and was also very strong physically, with a moral fiber that can withstand the pain.

Monochord and musical Pythagorean instruments

Pythagoras (about 570 - 497 BC) to develop his theories of universal harmony linked to the numbers built also several musical instruments including the monochord useful to demonstrate the physics laws based on the music with a sound box on which was stretched a rope where the length and tension were adjustable by means of a jumper and the appropriate weights which occur to regular and verify with mathematical formulas the relations between sounds. Often the philosopher, mystic and scientist of Samos is shown while playing various instruments (flutes and multichords tables) as a first linked to the number of musical theory, which has the function of combining metaphysics and discordant elements of opposite nature in a cosmic vision which tends to the One or "Monad" unitary principle of all the reality, that the Pythagoreans later identified in an almost a religious model as of an universal mathematical harmony.

John Baptist Vico against degradation

In 1710 the philosopher J. B. Vico (Naples 1668 - 1744) one of the sharpest minds of all time, published his important work "On the ancient wisdom of Italian people" which analyzed the classical language and then showed that only the author can truly know his artifact (using a process similar to the Platonic "Cratylus"), and then with the metaphysical theory of the truth-fact raised the possibility that man can have knowledge only of the things do directly. Vico's philosophy is based on a marked historic position that criticizes the previous conceptions and historical development of mankind based on his "new science", and in practice in the history of peoples and nations is analyzed the same development of the thought, like all fruit of the human mind. Mathematics is seen as a secure science, but understood as abstract entities, numbers and figures to present and forged to ourselves as a type of criterion of truth.

Poor supervision of the priests' abuses

After the discovery of hundreds of victims in Belgium of abuse of the priests on minors as well as other reported cases in many countries, religious authorities have stated that there was little supervision and also lack of early intervention to prevent priests could still commit this set of, incomprehensible perversion, on kids. Previous investigations had denounced as there was a mechanism to move elsewhere priests accused of abuse after the first complaints came to the authorities and ensure that the sad events were passing in silence about this kind of attitude and there were controversies and repeated protests. Some lines of thought supports that who misuses only of one person, abuses of the "whole world" since there is one single source of the Creation and of all creatures, even if to the appearance and evolution can look variegate and very different.

Knowability of the being and Platonic language

The derivation of the language used by men to understand is analyzed with a large number of etymologies and almost musical derivations of letters and syllables from Plato (427-347 BC whose real name is Aristocles son of Aristones and Perictione) in a dialogue between Socrates, Hermogenes and "Cratylus" focused on the correctness of names and their correspondence to objects and to their intimate nature. Socrates demonstrates with the dialectic technique that the names do not correspond to the thing itself, but only with the image of them and then only through the ideas is possible to come to the knowledge of being without uncertainties and contradictions of sorts, considering that the names are subject to vary continuously in the various cultures in accordance with the eternal flow of Heraclitus. In fact the philosopher uses the language like music and many ironic etymologies to demonstrate that only the idea of beautiful, good, ..of Well never change.

Balanced breakfast for children at school

The first day of school for children could be quite stressful and for to be able to remain calm may be useful to adopt a balanced breakfast (as specified by an expert nutritionist) with a little quality protein like milk, and carbohydrates provide longer energy as slices of whole wheat, then fruit that provides natural energy and yogurt that contains components naturally relaxing as in all dairy products. The berries can help to relax for the presence of phytonutrients and is fruits is nuts contain antioxidants that can help to avoid the physical stress during the study that could be sometimes difficult the first times. From long time has been known that the intellectuals performances are better in individuals who have had breakfast than those who tend to skip it, or at least for adults, is limited to only drink a coffee or a simple juice.

Single dish of food and training

In summer generally tends to keep a light table with unique dishes enough simple to pass a short time in the kitchen and get a good nutritional balance enough to join as example pasta or rice, legumes, a little olive extravirgin oil and parmesan to avoid a shortage of essential amino acids, then just to eat some fruit of season to get a good nutritional balance that maintains the lean muscle mass with fluid type of training such as swimming or "walk fast", remembering to drink water frequently. Amino acids (containing an amino group and an acid, constituents of polypeptides and proteins) are organic acids that form proteins ingested by the end of the digestive process due to some ferments, and while some are naturally synthesized the others must be introduced through a balanced diet.

The Platonic origin of the cosmos

The conception of the universe of the philosopher Plato (427-347 BC) is striking and clearly influenced by the geometric and mathematical thinking of the Pythagoreans, so that the dialogue "Timaeus or of the Nature" that is on universal arguments is mainly between Socrates and Timaeus, an astronomer and Pythagoric philosopher of Locri that explains how the universe is the work of the Demiurge, who as good wanted everything to be like him and generated as much as possible in his own likeness. One visible sky is manufactured to the model by divine providence, and the world (made by fire, water, air and land) as the whole cosmos is a living being shaped ball, intelligent and with blood characterized by harmonious proportion of music and mathematics. Regarding the description fits most of the time is was and will in addition, the geometry of the universe is based on solid and polygons, whose plane figure is the basic equilateral triangle.

Music and Platonic education

Starting from the idea of justice as a precondition for the establishment of a new ideal city, Plato (427-347 BC) in the dialogue "The state or the justice" between Socrates, Cephalus, Glaucon, Thrasymachus.. describes that we should educate young people with music for the soul and gymnastics for the body so that the developments in the individual virtue is seen as a national example for the entire civilization that would be equivalent in its balanced functioning as a kind of man in great. This prototype of the ideal state that can not be equaled by any state land, but at the same time is more real, governments increasingly operate the well also in exchange of the bad since they were trained since children to pursue justice through that kind of "music" deprived from falsehood and exaggerations that are often present in this art so that it can really lead to a positive concept of Good.

Humidity, temperature and well-being

One of the most important factors for effective well-being is the humidity and thus the amount of water vapor present in it, because the sweating is hampered if the humidity is excessive and in the opposite case with the air too dry may experience an unhealthy dehydration and in any case the temperature plays a significant factor on body temperature regulation. In case of muggy heat with high humidity the perceived temperature can be higher than that real and for elderly or debilitated individuals is advisable to use a dehumidifier, but also the micro environment (and the amount of ozone in the air) can affect the overall well being, causing headaches and discomfort in organisms unaccustomed. The preventive physical training of a certain intensity, to play before the weather conditions get worse, can gradually get used to changes in temperature and humidity.

Music, Pythagoras and the Universe

Starting from the study of music and relationships derived from the eighth connection length of a vibrating string Pythagoras and the disciples of his school in Crotone (founded about in 531 BC) made a numerical rule of universal harmony which the planets were arranged around a central fire in a heliocentric theory in a precise mathematical relationship probably derived from the music. Many of the knowledge of the Pythagoreans were lost following the destruction of their home-school by the so-called "democratic" [ ... ] who burned alive almost all the adherents except for two (mentioned in Plato's dialogues with their disciples), but is possible guess that the rule for calculating the distance in the disposition of the ten planets around the central Sun were based on the power of number three ritual, to note that even in the current empirical law of Titius-Bode the planetary distances is calculated using a mathematical formula.

Technologic fuels with synthetic liquids

The use of alternative fuels to power combustion engines is an area of research that goes rather slowly, and now a new attempt still experimental in the early stages to get a synthetic liquid should have been tried turning carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using a machine containing cerium oxide that is heated to a rotation system for concentrating solar, which can also synthesize hydrogen from water. Once obtained these gases can make a catalytic process to get a synthetic liquid fuel normally used for example to power the vehicles, and there are also other types of chemical processes to achieve the same result. As regard for fuels derived from various plants, some point out that the cultivation of so-called "biofuels" are likely to be planted to the detriment of trees and plants that oxygenate the planet.

The equation of the cabbage

After intensive research lasted centuries has finally been identified the thirteenth degree equation, a formula that can be used for calculations such as disparate as astronomy, medical and sporting ones, crop circles and even the timely administration of electric shocks in order "administrative". The equation was found in a manuscript written in the tears from an unknown author seems to have been hidden under a stone (not visible because of strains and chains) of a secret prison and immediately taken to the tender for the allocation of the discovery and resolution of the fully formula with mathematical rigor, but for now there is only the title of the demonstration.. "ars magna-magna" [eat-eat art]. Experts believe they can apply the equation of the cabbage for the calculation of dark matter in parallel universes, and even for space-time dimensions unknown.

Balance on ice or snow and abdominal

To try to maintain the balance on slippery surfaces may help strengthen the abdominals and lower back with specific exercises after running a good heating and stretching, such as the classic crunch for the abdominals being in the supine position on a soft mat with the legs flexed and slowly approaching the chest to the knees, and standing prone the lumbar with always the hands behind the head and arching the back and legs straight up (being careful not to hurt themselves and caring for breathing). To exercise the postural balance is to execute a series of stretching exercises on the toes, starting from standing and lifting the legs alternately in all directions in a spontaneous way, without coercion, then when you walk on ice and snow shoes will be appropriate to use antislip type trekking (there is a yellow sticker on the box of the shoes).
