First Pap Smear Hurt Cried

The matter of wheat

We read on the website of ' AIC , about the "legalization" of wheat starch as an ingredient of products deglutinato gf: The wheat starch, however, is also a useful ingredient in bakery products, in especially for bread, because it improves significantly palatability (emphasis mine, but their emphasis is) .

The statement was taken, more or less verbatim-on some other site and blog.

doing some research online I found that the first occurrence in Italian on this topic in 2003, by a voice absolutely reliable as that of Charles Catassi that says something quite different:
[...] Proponents say the 200 ppm on the one hand the therapeutic effectiveness of this threshold, the better palatability of other products containing starch wheat and their lower cost.

Notwithstanding that, I believe what he says Catassi, namely that "the proponents of the 200 ppm say ...", I do not believe that the proponents claim-of-200-ppm (gf's industrial northern Europe in particular and promiscuous-with-and gluten-free in general).

In detail:

1. efficacy of the threshold to 200 ppm
on this I leave the subject field to doctors, doctor-who I am-I follow a principle of caution, and it was for me, lowers the threshold: in Spain, FACE ensures only products with less than 10 ppm, and nothing prevents seriously consider a hallmark of even more severe;

2. palatability
I have not found either online or in the bibliography any reference to a panel of sensory evaluation to confirm this news, indeed, even MGP Ingredients Inc.. , the starch that produces it, throws it on the very general, saying that improves the organoleptic qualities of many baked goods (glutinosi! gf is not mentioned nor is compare with the cornstarch).

Personally, I do at home for a check-know-who has no scientific relevance, I made a bread with my gf and other flour with wheat starch to replace, respectively, corn starch, the rice flour and both of them.
no improvement, indeed, having done only one test, I had to manage the water absorption of dough very roughly getting the worst of the loaves.

should, in order to have scientifically valid, take the standard recipes and to form a panel of professional and independent analyzing their sensory properties.
But this is something that I I can not afford economicamente né mi interessa da un punto di vista professionale: io mi rifiuto di usare materie prime che hanno più di 3 ppm di glutine, figuriamoci l'amido di frumento deglutinato che ne ha centinaia.

3. minor costo
Questo è probabilmente vero, per diversi motivi, uno è che l'amido di frumento costa meno dell'amido di mais, altri riguardano la strategia e la logistica delle grandi aziende produttrici di gf (in un modo o nell'altro tutte promiscue) e -naturalmente- dei produttori di specialties derivate da frumento.

Ma quant'è, questo minor costo ?

A spanne, una crostatina fatta con amido di frumento deglutinato potrebbe costare -alla produzione- 5 euro cents less a made with corn starch (the same could be saved over the 12th g of bread) ...

It seems a great saving for the end user, but also in terms of economic and industrial this matter is, today, numerically laughable.

The consumption of starches for the Italian industry of the gf should be about 30 to 40,000 tons per year.
Assuming a cost of wheat equal to half that of corn starch and assuming the only starch that can be used (now impossible because they are too contaminated and must be mixed with others) would result in an most of this market of 3-4 million € / year.
The value that I consider most appropriate to the current situation is around 1 million € / year. Today a number

laughable-but I was saying in a perspective of full diagnosis of celiac population, which does not need to add gluten-free eating gf (a fast-growing), this value could be multiplied by 50 or 100, two orders of magnitude, a cake that you can eat in a few years but on which the multinationals of the wheat gf and want to give you your first bite.

So what can be said of wheat?

many things, or maybe nothing, because basically we have, as Catassi says, 20-200 ppm threshold for "lack of full scientific certainty about it," and similar lack of full scientific certainty we have about the palatability and lower cost to the consumer.

E 'instead of kerosene, the increased risk for celiac consumers on whose skin you're playing a game that is worth pennies.

Ballad of the student spirit and unpretentious

BALLAD OF unpretentious

I've always said that the songs goliardic can be found easily on the network using a any search engine.

With this in mind I just mentioned - sometimes - some text. However

transgress this rule because I found a YouTube video of Feriae Matricularum MMVII of Bologna, where this beautiful song is sung.







Ballad of unpretentious

Ballad of unpretentious,
sung
any night over a glass of wine,
in front of someone singing with you.

sing and drink with his brother drunk singing

together with the old whore who feels
virgin and sing along.

It joins the chorus of other people,
that guy who was alone
thinking about his son who was born and died
bringing his mother with him. And the old

che ha speso nel vino,
i soldi di un pasto mai fatto
che forse nemmeno domani farà
e beve per non pensarci più su.

E canta anche il pregiudicato,
che è uscito da una settimana
da una settimana lui cerca lavoro
e un lavoro nessuno gli dà.

E canta anche quel fuorisede,
che studia per farsi un domani,
lasciando parenti ed amici laggiù
convinti che non tornerà.

Che importa se fuori fa freddo,
che importa se s'è fatto tardi
in fondo noi siamo Goliardi e perciò…
Gaudeamus Igitur…

Motyher Of Pearl Flatwear

passed the thrill, too, like for Christmas, mostly linked to consumption needs of Valentine's Day (though always moved to see a teenager that brings the flowers in front of the school to its beautiful), I reflected on the tragedy made love.
The media are celebrating the anniversary of a book, Eroticism , an intellectual very questionable, especially today, Francesco Alberoni : embarrassing his short articles on the front of the Corriere della Sera, its embarrassing career. But the opening pages of the book tell a profound truth: the radical difference between male and female, divided but not in the sense of complementarity misunderstanding. Let me be clear: it is not a destiny. But if men and women are not complementary, the love affair is - repeats often Galimberti - a work of art that must be built every day. We must therefore get rid of the powerful Platonic myth that we are looking for a mid-completion, a myth that continues to work in the depths, if we still use expressions like "my other half." It therefore seems more necessary than ever a true erotic education, starting from the radical differences in body (and therefore the mechanisms of reward and pleasure) is being extended to a psychological and spiritual education. The man and woman are strangers, unknown to each other : each project its own expectations, desires, often refusing to see the other, each one "mind" (in good faith and for good) for displaying the party which considers itself more "noble" to the gaze of others. And so began a long history of lying empty of meaning that most of the reports.
That seems more necessary than ever a true educational reform that puts the sentimental education at the top. If human history is full of suffering it is because one of the fundamental events of life, a complete report with the other, is made badly or not done at all.

PS

writing I realized a glaring absence in my speech, homosexual love. Strictly speaking, indeed, it, although what I write, it would be the only love that could aspire to perfection (it says, for example, the Phaedrus in Plato's Symposium , speaking of Hector and Achilles). But they are not able to address this issue with full knowledge, even if only theoretical, bookish. And then open up other fronts: if that homosexual love was perfect, but deficient children, the nature and extent to which it may be corrected by the technique, making it possible to become fathers and mothers? And then, with a big headache, to renounce this seconda parte della riflessione, aspettando illuminazioni.

Recover From Pleurisy

still resists

the Journal of the Foundation Farefuturo FFWEBMAGAZINE SS Eugenius Renatus XIV Pautasii , LI Goliardorum Pontifex Maximus, aka Luca Pautasso, wrote a nice ' article, with the permission of the author, carried.

The mockery of feluccas between the universities of Italy
And goliardia still resists
Luca Pautasso

No, the student spirit is not dead. Do not mistake the young university boys still sing these verses during irreverent meetings, parties and convivial meetings which are still celebrated in many Italian squares in a blaze of blankets, plates, feathers, pendants. Often they are so few that you can hardly see, in the confused welter of universities that have tens of thousands of members, but many students with less capital. Under the felucca that fit-in-chief, however, the old cap that distinguishes Italian university students, still pulsing strongly principles, ideals and values \u200b\u200bof brotherhood, love of life and years of carefree youth that are one thousand years old but not show them.

from Turin to Bologna, Genoa, Ferrara, Padua, Pisa, Parma, Milan and Rome, and Perugia, Camerino, Palermo, Firenze e Verona. I goliardi ci sono, esistono e resistono. Ridono del mondo perché sanno innanzitutto ridere di se stessi. Utilizzano rituali e linguaggi desueti per trasmettersi nozioni e valori mai invecchiati per davvero. Spesso questo li espone agli attacchi e alle accuse di chi, ignorando il loro essere e non sforzandosi di capire, cerca di additarli per qualcosa che non sono: ora fascisti, ora massoni, ora esoteristi, o nel migliore dei casi, sciocchi, fatui, o ancora sfaticati perdigiorno, perdenti. Vestono paramenti bizzarri che paiono anacronistici agli occhi di chi non sa vedere che quella non è moda, bensì il retaggio della storia. Hanno gerarchie e leggi rigidissime, che non possono in alcun modo essere infrante, but they include exhort one another to get around with wit and dexterity. The good saint, for example, those students who are forced by the "elders" to pay to the sound of bottles of wine or liquor as the penalty of their inferiority, they bring to their tax collectors empty wolverine, maybe with great chutzpah praising the qualities of the nectar once contained within them, and now thoroughly drained. The university boys are perhaps the only people left who still remember the college students it means to be part of something really big, and not simply the need to fill a book more or less worthy of votes obtained with the same attitude with which a few years before , would face a test of maturity is particularly complex, only to receive in return a large piece of parchment to be nailed to a wall in plain sight. The university boys do not go to university, they are the university. That of the beginning, that of the medieval community of students and learners in which there was still a dichotomy between those who sit behind a desk and behind a counter, in which knowledge was not a bargaining chip or a service, but a joint research and a common crescita.Interrogate Goliarda an old, someone who has had twenty years during the 60s of last century, or earlier, and I hear tell that in his time at university, the student spirit or made or suffered . Not There was no escape. In the sense that those who became part of the sarabande goliardic ended inevitably become the intended victim of his jokes and his dirty tricks. Today, however, the era in which cities are able to offer countless opportunities for divertissement for those who are looking for an opportunity to raise his eyes from the "sweaty carte, you choose the the student spirit. And it becomes goliards as a gesture of awareness, desire to stand out, to challenge themselves, even as a vocation. Why do you share the spirit, of course, but, above all, because you learn to love her the same unconditional love we have for twenty years to life. How and why this happen, however, can not explain even the same jokes. At the bottom is a bit 'like trying to explain to someone why love the sea than the mountains. That's right, and there is nothing to explain. Period.

goliardia Today is one of the few things still able to remember the university as it was a time when he was born, when he was really studiorum universitas, universitas sapientiae, the crucible that forged the minds of the nobles of his time and elevated his students to something otherwise unreachable, before the modern drag it comes increasingly to resemble the monster to a strange halfway between laureificio mass leviathan bureaucrat.

And always, today as yesterday, the student spirit is and has been a strong voice against the dull conformity and standardization, which flattens and levels. He was a nonconformist yesterday, Goliarda when, with his grimaces mocked the powerful, while all the others bowed their heads in silence. And it's still a maverick, why is proud of its values, while all the others no longer have even an ounce and still remembers what it means being able to laugh at the powers that be in an era when all too often even the satire degenerates into vulgar contempt or, worse yet, in today's calunnia.Il Goliarda has also regained its romantic and charming picaresque dimension, that of the penniless student who must be able to procure only with the help of his intellect as much as the leisure studies. Forty-plus years ago, in fact, a student attending the lecture halls meant most of the time come for wealth and birth from the hegemonic class, and therefore dell'appannaggio rely almost exclusively reserved for those substances whose families could bear without great difficulty the onerous effort to maintain economic studies their heirs. Today, however, universities mass brought into vogue the figure of the working student, halfway between the heroic and quixotic, always in the bill, always in distress for the rent to pay, the rate to be honored and very expensive to buy books, yet also capable of providing just and deserved ration of entertainment, preferably to be consumed until the hours before dawn with friends or just playful, why not some nice girl.

Just like in medieval times, the joyful and the man who, in a society governed by the law of the jungle, and even mockery shuns violence as a last resort only of dull, and even looking preferring verbal confrontation, the duel of culture, the 'acute argument, if only to prove the other party entertained over a glass of wine that the clouds are made of cream, that the high sia basso e il nero sia bianco, o, con l’impudenza e la sfacciataggine che da sempre lo contraddistinguono, che la regina d’Inghilterra sotto le vesti calzi una guepierre.

Il goliarda è colui il quale, incompreso dallo sguardo miope del popolino, che troppo spesso ignora ciò che egli rappresenta per davvero, si fa beffe dello scherno altrui e anzi schernisce a sua volta, abbindolando il “filisteo” di turno tra scherzi, lazzi e giochi di parole per scucirgli un obolo e una risata, che faranno entrambi da piacevole condimento della serata. La chiamano “questua”, i goliardi, mutuando il nome proprio dall’atto dell’elemosinare. Ma il goliarda non chiede mai la carità, anzi: questuando, è un po’ come se rivendicasse scherzosamente il suo diritto di studente universitario, e quindi di ottimate, di riscuotere la giusta gabella da chi gli sta sotto per senno, acume e conoscenza.Eppure, come del resto ogni cosa che vanti un’identità forte e poco propensa all’annichilimento, il goliarda e la goliardia subiscono il riflusso degli attacchi che il relativismo del sapere, dei valori e della conoscenza perpetrano ai danni della società che li circonda. Ieri la goliardia ha avuto per nemico il ’68, che nel suo sforzo di far dilagare nuovi e rivoluzionari valori voleva a tutti costi fare piazza pulita di quelli “vecchi”. Oggi la goliardia ha per nemico una società che tende sempre more to resemble a flock of values \u200b\u200bthat has not and will not look, in fact, selling off the few that still remain and attack anyone who defends someone.

is primarily why we find more than one hundred university boys all together in the same place to party is increasingly becoming a business. There are Cassandras who see anything terrible portents of doom, dark anticipation of an end inevitable. Others, like the writer, are convinced that this represents only a difficult and painful transition to a new golden age. So much for the student spirit and for the rest of the world. Because, until there will be a story and values \u200b\u200bto be passed down, a foul-mouthed song, a salacious joke, and a glass of wine in front of a student awake enough to understand that this is not to worry if that is half full or half empty, but instead is always very full twenty years of its youth, then we will be jokes.

Gaudeamus igitur.
