Is 2010 the Year of the Idea? Tai Odunsi thinks so.
Could 2010 be the Year of the Idea? Since the beginning of the Great Recession, pundits and personalities across the mediascape have been tiresomely clamoring for an American resurgence through innovation. “You want more good jobs,” wrote Thomas L. Friedman in a New York Times editorial, “spawn more Steve Jobs.” Of course, that’s a little [...]

Giacalone original article here by Leonardo Staglianò Marina Abramovic is an internationally renowned performance artist whose explorations of the human body and its limitations frequently coerce the audience into a forced interaction with her art.

NEW ZEALAND TIES ITALY BUT DISHONESTY WINS
The Kiwi is an enjoyable fruit- sweet, rich in vitamins and mischievously green. But it also has bothersome seeds that stick between your teeth and ridge the borders of your gums causing embarrassment upon the slightest smile.

The Original Raj of Comedy
Do you remember Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy? Probably you don’t. That’s because Scorsese defined New York’s cinematic topography with other tropes- alienated taxi drivers and teenage prostitutes, greasy Italian gangsters with the gift for gab, and equally greasy, hard-hitting pugilists. But, like the Great White Way with its bubbly musicals, and the clusters [...]
In the Shadow of Sfiga: Italy vS Paraguay
What is sfiga? Wordreference.com, the bible of language translations, says it’s “bad luck.” It even goes so far as to define it as being “bloody unlucky.” But sfiga is much more than that.

First, there is the difficult task of convincing mistrustful Americans that a low-scoring, not-so-dazzling Azzurri squad is worth supporting in what most Yanks consider an already low-scoring, not-so-dazzling sport. Then, [...]
Tales from Italy’s Dark Side: Interview with Douglas Preston
While Americans have always loved Italy for its art, food and history, there’s no better usage for that wealth of culture than as a backdrop in recounting Italy’s most byzantine and enduring mysteries. Journalist and author Douglas Preston talks to Nuok about his experiences researching for his recent book, The Monster of Florence, and tells [...]
WHEN NUOK MET MUOK
A brief comparison between the Big Apple and the Red City. First comes Nuok, then comes Muok- Moscow, that is. Truth be told, the only reason I’m seeking a comparison between NYC and the Red City (is that what they call it?) is because I’m here on vacation, amidst the smog and the rain and [...]
