Internet anonimo ovvero sicuro



cliccare qui per vedere quante cose si possono sapere di chi naviga in rete. La cosa un po' spaventa. Ma c'e' un modo per navigare in modo da nascondere il proprio indirizzo IP, collegandosi casualmente a molti server sparsi nel mondo prima di raggiungere il sito voluto. In questo modo si perdono le tracce del proprio computer, e si diventa anonimi, con un IP casuale nel mondo, e quindi sicuri di non poter essere rintracciati.



Tor

e' lo strumento necessario. Ecco quello che ho fatto io per installarlo easily and make it work in Firefox (Iceweasel) on Debian Etch.

Here are the instructions for Windows or Mac 1) in Debian Etch Tor is not 'available, so you need to enable backports of Debian. To do this, add / etc / apt / sources.list deb

line http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free aptitude So you have to upgrade, but before there 'to resolve the issue of keys, otherwise
aptitude complains. Installing as root, the package debian-backports-keyring
, everything is done automatically: # Aptitude install debian-backports-keyring 2) Once activated the backports, I could finally download tor, along with web proxy privoxy
, which will be 'good with Firefox.

# aptitude-t etch-backports install # aptitude install tor privoxy 3) Then I configured privoxy
:
in the configuration file / etc / privoxy / config
must:
- uncomment (or add) the forward-line

socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050. (watch to the end point) - giving the value 0 (zero) to the following options: enable-remote-toggle, enable-remote-http-toggle , Enable-edit-actions

- if you do not want privoxy maintains a log file, then comment out the line: logfile logfile
and jarfile jarfile
. Then restart with privoxy: privoxy restart # 4) In Firefox (or browser you choose) must change the settings for connecting to the Tor network to enable
. In Firefox (Iceweasel) are Edit - Preferences - Network - Connections . So we have to write localhost

and 9050 in the "SOCKS Host" (socks v5 worked for me). But in truth 'and the best thing' to install the add-on Firefox called Torbutton , which in a single click you can change the necessary configuration and have Tor enabled or disabled. This new button in firefox works fine after following the above steps. Using Tor, sometimes I google comes up in Russian ..

IL VOLTO DEI SOGNI

Di Chiara Manganelli

L'atelier “Bottega Indaco” di Torino presenterà ad Alassio (SV), presso l'ex Chiesa Anglicana, una mostra di pittura dal titolo “Il volto come incarnazione del sogno”.
La mostra verrà realizzata grazie al sponsorship of Alassio, will be inaugurated Aug. 30, 2008 and will run until 28 September.
A group including the works of Ciro Palumbo, Akira Zakamoto, Luis Bardella, Claudia and Laura Giraudo Giai Baudissard.

During the opening night you can attend a theatrical performance focusing on the expressive power of the face in relation to the dreams and emotions, and will be shown a video that will be a real journey through the secrets of a human face in which seek to probe the physical features in the interpretations of the dream worlds of an individual.
The intent of the artists is to communicate, through their paintings, evanescent magic of the dream, his emotional and creative force, and its fascinating variety. The five painters
characteristics, backgrounds, styles and techniques sometimes very different, and it is interesting to see how each interprets this fascinating subject.

Palumbo, with its metaphysical resonance, attaches to the faces delicate magic and surreal dreams and his paintings stand out as vibrant kaleidoscopes. Among
playful objects, views of natural elements and moods that evoke classical aesthetics, their faces take on a very complex, detailed and dynamic. Emotions and dreams are reflected in every jolt of the body, in every shade of iridescent look, in each slight twist of the skin.
dreams Palumbo depart from reality to overturn the reality, and man is a bold Prometheus stole the sacred fire from the gods to give it to himself and become the eternal guardian.

Zakamoto bestows the face of the dream coming from distant worlds, shining creatures who are watching from a higher dimension. The flickering of the eyes of these enlightened beings seem to contain the magic of a secret that is revealed through ghostly arcane symbols and colors. And where the illusion of a dream known crumbles, a new dream stranger, just intuition and sketched, took shape and explodes in the rarefied spaces of iridescent universes. Indigo children of Zakamoto paintings, surrounded by sparkling stars and glowing planets, are the owners of a new awareness. They seem to take us by the hand to lead us to take a quantum leap in ourselves, to make us swallow the swirling cascades of light that permeate our spirit. In the paintings of Luis

Bardella we can see, however, as the raw material is transformed and mixed, in a completely unpredictable, to wander in semantic spaces far from the original ones.
And the bond that unites a thin visceral and mother and daughter comes a dream that plays with the rules of time, anticipating desires and hopes of eliminating the conventional linear time dimension, and a jump in underwear and full of pathos, we can immerse ourselves in the dreamy delicacy dell'anelito that generates life itself, through the union, spiritual even before the flesh, of two souls.

Claudia Giraudo conceives the individual as the embodiment of beauty in a nutshell, almost ontological, where the human being loses its outlines specific areas for cross timeless, absolute and eternal values \u200b\u200bfrom the background of that evoke an atmosphere evocative stage plays and film. His face expressed
magnificence but at the same time an intense spiritual charge.
The artist delves into the soul of his characters so in search of their dreams, changing their appearance, ennobling, making them exceptional, unique and universal.

Laura Giai Baudissard intertwined with elegance and skill of photography with digital painting and art, to find the dream that unites human beings to nature. The vegetation surrounding its faces is the emblem of ambivalence with the merger of the individual elements of the cosmos, the physis, and the deepest and most intimate part of his spirit.
The dream is contained in striving for something that attracts us and belongs to us but at the same time is far from us as a magnificent and elusive chimera that imprisons us in its claws a desire imperfect and slippery.

In this exhibition, therefore, the common denominator is the face as an expression of the dream. A face that embodies the dream kept inside our soul, which is its symbol, is a mediator between the conscious and the unconscious, between the spirit and physicality.
E 'in the face that reflects our essence and expands. The human face becomes a canvas on which our feelings and our dreams, like sparks of infinite colors, are drawn and defined, changing constantly as a subject alive and pulsating.
and the attentive and knowledgeable of these artists attempt to capture and steal the magic universe sublime dream of an eye, a mouth, a cheek, because the body communicates in a much more profound and authentic spoken language, and the painting is the art that can best reveal, through the suggestive power of images, the seductive and beautiful secrets that dwell in the depths of the human soul.

And this exploration of the deep roots of the dream continues with a solo exhibition of Ciro Palumbo, hosted by the gallery "Art is Kaos in Alassio, from September 6 to September 28, 2008. In this exhibition, the Dream will always be the central element of the analysis of painting, but will expand further, will move from the face and penetrate into the hidden recesses of the objects, to look out on the subtle moods of the human psyche that creates these objects and shapes, transforming them into visionary symbols underground and disturbing universes. Thus, the perspective changes, and the view expands and grows. The artist, therefore, will focus on the many facets of the dream might produce, focusing on the infinite combinations, charms and contamination that our unconscious can generate.

La Storia: Nuova Scienza Analitica?

[454, 34-35 (3 July 2008)] (all rights CONFIDENTIAL ', hoping that I do not denounce [but science and' disclosure, no ?]), which seems very interesting. I hope I will be 'a source of future discussions. We talk about the "birth" of a nuova disciplina scientifica ( scienza nuova
sarebbe troppo, e forse un G.B.Vico si rivolterebbe nella tomba), cioe' dello studio

analitico della Storia di noi umani su questo pianeta. Di Asimov-iana memoria, un tale studio con metodi scientifici e dinamici potrebbe portare, secondo l'autore, (almeno in principio) alla possibilita' di prevedere, non certo il quotidiano, ma almeno i grandi movimenti di societa' umane, complice la capacita' di riconoscere quantitativamente

pattern di situazioni e variabili che si ripetono (i corsi e ricorsi ?).




Da un lato mi affascina, e da un altro lato che ancora non riesco bene a definire, mi pare something close to the buffalo. And I do not 'even clear if such an attempt (and effort) is worth to be addressed, already' on principle. But I hope the ideas are clarified. And I hope also, and especially in helping outside (ie: if the problem you discuss binds more 'swimsuit for this summer chosen by Lapo [news of the Republic, will speak']). However it is something that appeared in the scientific journal more 'in vogue in the last 50 years, so it must get the attention and respect due. In the future I'm thinking of a sort of interview friend P. (I hope you do not pull back), an expert observer of the issues touched and especially the philosophical side of the river of reality ', while io resto sull'altra, quella piu' scientifica e tecnica, dove passano piu' trote.







Arise 'cliodynamics'

Peter Turchin

Peter Turchin is professor of ecology and mathematics at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut 06269, USA. He is the author of War and Peace and War: The Life-Cycles of Imperial Nations (Pi Press, 2006).

  1. Abstract
If we are to learn how to develop a healthy society, we must transform history into an analytical, predictive science, argues Peter Turchin. He has identified intriguing patterns across vastly different times and places.

D. PARKINS

What caused the collapse of the Roman Empire? More than 200 explanations have been proposed
1

, but there is no consensus about which explanations are plausible and which should be rejected. This situation is as risible as if, in physics, phlogiston theory and thermodynamics coexisted on equal terms.

This state of affairs is holding us back. We invest in medical science to preserve the health of our bodies, and in environmental science to maintain the health of ecosystems. Yet our understanding of what makes societies healthy is in the pre-scientific stage. Sociology that focuses on the past few years or decades is important. In addition, we need a historical social science, because processes that operate over long timescales can affect the health of societies. It is time for history to become an analytical, and even a predictive, science. Splitters and lumpers

Every scientific discipline has its share of splitters, who emphasize the differences between things, and lumpers, who stress similarities in search of organizing principles. Lumpers dominate physics. In biology, splitters, who care most for the private life of warblers or the intricate details of a chosen signalling molecule, are roughly matched in numbers by lumpers, who try to find fundamental laws. Social sciences such as economics and sociology are rich in lumpers. Sadly, few are interested in applying analytical approaches to the past. History has an alarmingly small proportion of lumpers.

Rather than trying to reform the historical profession, perhaps we need an entirely new discipline: theoretical historical social science. We could call this 'cliodynamics', from Clio, the muse of history, and dynamics, the study of temporally varying processes and the search for causal mechanisms

2,

3 . Let history continue to focus on the particular. Cliodynamics, meanwhile, will develop unifying theories and test them with data generated by history, archaeology and specialized disciplines such as numismatics (the study of ancient coins).

Is this proposal feasible? The most compelling argument against the possibility of scientific history goes like this. Human societies are extremely complex. They consist of many different kinds of individuals and groups that interact in complex ways. People have free will and are therefore unpredictable. Moreover, the mechanisms that underlie social dynamics vary with historical period and geographical region. Medieval France clearly differed in significant ways from Roman Gaul, and both were very different to ancient China. It is all too messy, argue the naysayers, for there to be a unifying theory. If this argument were correct, there would be no empirical regularities. Any relationships between important variables would be contingent on time, space and culture. Empirical empires

In fact, several patterns cut across periods and regions

3

. For example, agrarian, preindustrial states have seen recurrent waves of political instability — not interstate warfare, but lethal collective violence occurring within states, ranging from small-scale urban riots, in which just a few people are killed, to a full-blown civil war. This is just the sort of violence we need to understand: many more people are killed today in terrorist campaigns, civil wars and genocides than in wars between nations

4 . Recent comparative research shows that agrarian societies experience periods of instability about a century long every two or three centuries. These waves of instability follow periods of sustained population growth. For example, in Western Europe, rapid population growth during the thirteenth century was followed by the 'late-medieval crisis', comprising the Hundred Years War in France, the Hussite Wars in the German Empire, and the Wars of the Roses in England. Population increase in the sixteenth century was followed by the 'crisis of the seventeenth century' — the wars of religion and the Fronde in France, the Thirty Years War in Germany, and the English Civil War and Glorious Revolution. Similarly, population growth during the eighteenth century was followed by the 'age of revolutions', ranging from the French Revolution of 1789 to the pan-European revolutions of 1848–49 (ref. 5 ). Such oscillations between population growth and instability have been termed 'secular cycles'

6 . Given the limitations of historical data, we need an appropriately coarse-grained method to determine the statistical significance, and the generality, of the pattern. The basic idea is to demarcate population growth and decline phases, and to count the instability incidents (such as peasant uprisings and civil wars) that occur during each phase.



With my colleagues Sergey Nefedov and Andrey Korotayev, I have collected quantitative data on demographic, social and political variables for several historical societies. Applying the above approach to eight secular cycles in medieval and early modern England, France, the Roman Empire and Russia, we find that the number of instability events per decade is always several times higher when the population was declining than when it was increasing 6 . The probability of this happening by chance is vanishingly small. The same pattern holds for the eight dynasties that unified China, from the Western Han to the Qing

7 , and for Egypt from the Hellenistic to the Ottoman periods 8 . Making waves Such strong regularity points to the presence of some fundamental principles. Population growth beyond the means of subsistence leads to declining levels of consumption and popular discontent, but this is not enough to destabilize agrarian societies. Peasant uprisings have little chance of success when the governing élites are unified and the state is strong 9

.

The connection between population dynamics and instability is indirect, mediated by the long-term effects of population growth on social structures. One effect is the increasing number of aspirants for élite positions, resulting in rivalry and factionalism. Another consequence is persistent inflation, which causes a decline in real revenues and a developing fiscal crisis of the state. As these trends intensify, they result in state bankruptcy and a loss of military control; conflict among élite factions; and a combination of élite-mobilized and popular uprisings, leading to the breakdown of central authority 3,

9 . This explanation — the 'demographic–structural' theory — is a work-in-progress. Our tests with the eight case studies 6 support some of its predictions: for example, élite overproduction preceded the crisis in every case. The tests also identify areas where the theory needs to be modified. Perhaps we need an entirely new theory to explain the observed patterns and predict new ones, but that is the business of science. The important thing is that societies as different as medieval France, the Roman Empire and China under the Han dynasty share dynamics, when viewed in an appropriately coarse-grained way. Not everything in history is contingent and particular.



Even so, theories developed and tested on preindustrial data must be modified before they can be applied to contemporary social dynamics. Happily, there are indications that our theories will not need to be replaced wholesale. Rapid demographic change and élite overproduction were still important factors in twentieth-century revolutions 10 .

Furthermore, over the past 200 years, political instability in the United States has waxed and waned in a pattern reminiscent of that in preindustrial societies. Political violence — urban riots, lynchings, violent labour disputes and so on — was almost absent in the early nineteenth century, increased from the 1830s and reached a peak in around 1900. The American Civil War occurred during this period of growing unrest. The instability then subsided during the 1930s, and the following two decades were remarkably calm. Finally, in the 1960s, political violence increased again 11 .

It remains to be seen whether a modified version of the demographic–structural theory can explain this pattern. The point is that the study of such slow-moving processes requires a long-term view and an explicitly historical approach. Learning lessons Any claim that history can become a predictive science raises eyebrows. But scientific prediction is a broader concept than merely forecasting the future. It can be used to test theories. For example, two rival theories may make different predictions about the behaviour of some variable, such as birth rate, under certain social conditions. We then ask historians to explore the archives, or archaeologists to dig up data, and determine which theory's predictions best fit the data. Such retrospective prediction, or 'retrodiction', is the life-blood of historical disciplines such as astrophysics and evolutionary biology.

Cliodynamic theories will not be able to predict the future, even after they have passed empirical tests. Accurate forecasts are often impossible because of phenomena such as mathematical chaos, free will and the self-defeating prophecy. But we should be able to use theories in other, perhaps more helpful, ways: to calculate the consequences of our social choices, to encourage the development of social systems in desired directions, and to avoid unintended consequences.


Like other systems with nonlinear feedback, societies often respond to interventions in surprising ways. When the Assembly of Notables refused to approve a new land tax in 1787, they did not intend to start the French Revolution, in which many of them lost their heads. When Tony Blair was Britain's prime minister, he set out to increase the proportion of youth getting higher education to 50%. He was presumably unaware that the overabundance of young people with advanced education preceded the political crises of the age of revolutions in Western Europe

12

, in late Tokugawa Japan and in modern Iran and the Soviet Union

9, 10 . It is time we heeded the old adage that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We must collect quantitative data, construct general explanations and test them empirically on all the data, rather than on instances carefully selected to prove our pet narratives. To truly learn from history, we must transform it into a science.
