Come scrivono Bruni e Zamagni: «L'economia civile propone un umanesimo a più dimensioni nel quale il mercato non è combattuto o controllato, ma è visto come un luogo al pari degli altri, come un momento della sfera pubblica che se, concepito e vissuto come luogo aperto ai principi di reciprocità e di gratuità, può costruire la città».

Codex Sinaiticus is one of the most important books in the world. Handwritten well over 1600 years ago, the manuscript contains the Christian Bible in Greek, including the oldest complete copy of the New Testament. Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript – the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity – is of supreme importance for the history of the book.

We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

La Commissione di Inchiesta sugli Abusi sui Minori è stata istituita il 23 maggio 2000 con tre funzioni principali: “ascoltare le dichiarazioni di abuso da parte di persone che sostengono di aver subito abusi durante l'infanzia nelle istituzioni dal 1940 o prima fino ad oggi”; “condurre un'inchiesta sugli abusi sui minori nelle istituzioni durante quel periodo e, dove verificato che ci furono, determinarne le cause, la natura, le circostanze e la portata”; “preparare e pubblicare rapporti sui risultati dell'inchiesta e sulle sue raccomandazioni per far fronte agli effetti di tali abusi”.
