Retrogaming
Mettete da parte le console di ultima generazione e fate un salto indietro di qualche decennio in quegli anni Ottanta e Novanta dove i primi videogame in versione DOS hanno visto la loro nascita e il loro successo. Questo è il riassunto dell’effetto nostalgia sul quale ha voluto puntare il sito The Internet Archive, già famoso per essere un archivio di materiale virtuale ormai desueto, che da oggi ha arricchito la sua piattaforma di reperti web vintage con circa 2400 game d’epoca, ovviamente giocabili online. Noi ne abbiamo scelto qualcuno per fare un salto in quel mondo di giochi ad 8 bit. [Read more].

First row (from the left): Edoardo vs. Lapo
That’s why it’s so important to study at our school – the legendary Associazione Culturale “Il Delta della Luna”! The very young Lapo Roccanti – one of our first students – has won with a full score the youth tournament of the Epiphany, which took place at the club Vie Nuove on Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Thanks to Mr. Alessandro Aversa for the smiling news!

- Kenneth Saul Rogoff, Le sanzioni economiche funzionano davvero?, Il Sole 24 ORE, 8 gennaio 2015
Le sanzioni economiche nei confronti della Serbia nei primi anni ’90 non impedirono l’invasione della Bosnia e, certamente, la simbolica punizione, da parte del governo degli Stati Uniti, della leggenda degli scacchi Bobby Fischer (per aver giocato [un match] a Belgrado, in violazione delle sanzioni) non arrecò alcun sollievo all’assediata Sarajevo.

“Position before Black’s 31st move. Black has an ideal position arising from the Marshall Gambit (Spanish). Especially, his domination of the e-file is a significant factor.

La calza della Befana che secondo gli organizzatori è “la più lunga del mondo”, ovvero 2.015 metri con i colori dell’Expo, è stata la protagonista in piazza Duomo a Milano nel giorno dell’Epifania. La calza da primato richiama lo spirito di Expo: è ecologica, visto che è stata realizzata con filo derivante dal riciclo di bottiglie. Il suo peso è 600 chilogrammi e per realizzarla 15 persone hanno lavorato per 10 giorni. A srotolarla in piazza del Duomo sono arrivate centinaia di persone, tra adulti e bambini. Presenti anche il sindaco, Giuliano Pisapia, il vicesindaco Ada Lucia De Cesaris e il presidente del comitato regionale Coni Lombardia, Pier Luigi Marzorati, insieme agli atleti delle federazioni.
