Somehow, it’s a good news

Thanks, I believed it started yesterday, to be honest

Any result from Greece?

I was saying globally, but yes I believe you are right

with these results, USA has already qualified more than 100 athletes

Maybe Rugby World Cup

I think that Italian dream may reasonably end here, sadly, but still it was great :D

I don't know very much about the situation, that is I don't know if this "alteration" is natural or induced by what would be in practice doping. With this premise, I think that there is a simple way to solve this problem, and is a combination of the so called biological passport and "personalized medicine" (I spent hours yesterday on PubMed looking for some reviews, so please forgive me :D ). My point is that nowadays athlete are (or at least should be) tested for doping multiple times, for the sake not only of the fairness of sport but also and especially for their health. With this, it is going to be easy to understand if this alteration is normal or induced. In the first case, nothing should be done. In the second case, it is in practice use of doping. In the intermediate case of transgender athletes, (but this is really starting to be out of my field of knowledge), the use of hormones should be limited so that a maximum amount cannot be exceeded, otherwise it will be considered as doping. My opinion is that we have all the technical means to do it and this should be done. For what I know, Semenya is not doped and she is as she appears since her birth, so it is a wrong decision.

This is a not so much exaggerated version of what happens in a Southern Italy wedding in the worst moment ever: half August. Unluckily there is no English translation of the written part, but give it a look. Brief summary: 1) invitation to wedding in half august; 2) the "promise of wedding" celebration; 3) bachelor parties; 4) serenade with neomelodic songs ( ); 5) the hours before the celebration; 6) the celebration; 7) going to the restaurant where you'll eat for 4-8 hours; 8) wait for newlyweds to come to restaurant while they take pictures (); 9) give the present to the newlyweds (the so called "busta", literally envelope, that is gift money to people); 10) staying at restaurant with people wishing to dance, sing etc...; 11) get your bonbonierre; 12) coveted end, for invited people; 13) other things regarding newlyweds, but this is in my opinion the most exaggerated part.

A treaty would be needed to describe a wedding here in South Italy...

I believe also Mongolia is qualified in mixed pistol event

Never been in Venice, but it is true that it is very very expensive, so consider this and CHECK the prices on the menu before you eat somewhere there: sometimes it is really difficult to realize how expensive can be that city. From Venice, if you wish to visit near cities and places, probably the easiest to be reached are Trieste, Padova (Padua) and Verona. Apart from San Marco and the cathedral, you should have a tour on a gondola, it is a must there

It was during Thailand national swimming championships held nearly 10 days ago. At the moment I don’t have the document and I don’t remember the name but if you make a quick research on google for this championships you will find it easily

In theory if they count for World Championship they should count for Olympic Games. However on Fina website they are not listed as counted towards WCh, so I don’t know if that was a kind of restricted list

Here is a picture from the organizers in which the mascot is introduced. Her name is Partenope, the same of the mythological mermaid that according to legend lived where Napoli was founded, and that is at the origin of why Neapolitan people is often defined as “partenopei”. The castle on the background instead is Castel dell’Ovo (literally “the castel of the egg”) about which a legend say that the whole castle is built over an egg placed there by Vergilius and whose rupture may cause disgraces in the whole city. It is located on the tiny island called Megaride and together with Vesevus it belongs to the worldwide famous Caracciolo/Mergellina seaside in the City

A lot of results of British championships are slightly superior to A standard. I would have bet on the opposite

Is the French athlete one of those that reached the minimum?

Good. Now just add the remaining 4 teams and finally a decent reformation is done.

I suppose adding lemon to the water can be an easier solution

Easter is coming, do you eat something in particular? Here in Italy, or better here in Naples, we mostly eat this, among other things:

i really don’t like this

I love the graphics

I’ve just discovered that one of my former Physics professor was involved in this project

Actually, I read somewhere that F is an atom whose presence in drugs may be helpful, so my name is a little less toxic it could appear :D

Go check the periodic table
