@GiorgiaMeloni Cara Meloni l'italia non è più protagonista mondiale come l'impero Romano. La fusione coi Longobardi ormai crisianizzati è fallito per colpa del Vaticano altrimenti saremmo come Inghilterra e Francia. Non siamo più nulla è non votiamo neppure più.

Domani 3 marzo conto 82 anni…non pensavo di vivere tanto. Mi sento come l’ulivo di questa foto che ha dovuto ripartire e ricominciare una vita dopo essere stato distrutto senza pietá: ma il Signore fa risorgere anche i morti! Non e solo questa la mia fede è la mia esperienza

“America, I have a question for you.

You chose Donald Trump as your president. And today, your president picked up the phone and called the world’s number one terrorist.

@elonmusk Talk to Putin. Tell him to withdraw and the war will be over. He can just leave. Just like we left Afghanistan and Vietnam. He can just leave Ukraine.

[Deanna @DeannaIndiana]

@elonmusk When it was time for YOUR mandatory service to your country, you emigrated to Canada rather than serve. Zelensky is serving his country as their President!!

[Alberto @Alpopper]

Mentrel'Europa si crogiola nelle sue divisioni interne da Feste dell'unità o bancarelle di natale la Russia avanza e noi saremo sempre più soli visto che aria tira con Trump . Passaporto svizzero. Ricordate Navalny. Per Siberia inutili pellicce: sequestro già ai confini.

La Jihad islamica palestinese ha diffuso un video di propaganda che mostra l'ostaggio Alexander Turbanov (che sarà rilasciato tra poco) in forma mentre pesca sulle coste di Gaza per dimostrare di essere superiore moralmente a Israele nel trattamento dei prigionieri, sapendo che in Occidente c’è chi ci crederà.

Remains of Thermopolium of Vetutius Placidius (late 2nd - early 1st Century BC), Pompeii :

In Ancient Roman World, Thermopolium was a place where it was possible to drink and eat something hot. It can be considered as today's fast food or diner. Ancient Romans who worked far from home went there for a quick lunch. Thermopolia are forerunners of today's restaurant. Items that were once served in these places are compared to modern fast food. These places were mainly used by those who could not afford a private kitchen, could not cook, travellers and often inhabitants of insulae, sometimes leading them to be scorned by upper class. A typical Thermopolium would consist of a small room attached to, but not accessible from, a house, with a distinctive masonry counter in front. Well-preserved ruins of Thermopolia can be seen today in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Ostia in Italy.

The best preserved thermopolium in Pompeii (89 have been found) is that of Lucius Vetitius Placidus (Regio I, Insula 8.8).

Embedded in the richly decorated counter there were 6 dolia (spherical terracotta containers approximately 1.50-1.60cm high, almost certainly closed with lids), used to contain food, such as chickpeas, beans, dried fruit.

In one of Dolia some coins were found (1385, bronze coins with a total value equal to approximately 585 sesterces) now visible at National Archaeological Museum of Naples). They were probably the proceeds of several days of activity. Perhaps the owners of the place decided to hide them.

Interesting is the aedicule on back wall, particularly well preserved, which constitutes a lararium dedicated to protector gods of the house (Lari), Genius protector of the owner, god of commerce (Mercury) and god of wine (Dionysus).

Owner's private house was attached to room, which was accessed via an independent entrance. There was also an internal garden, where aromatic herbs useful for cooking were grown.

The Sufi Dance - Whirling Dervishes, an important cultural and spiritual tradition among the Sufi group. Besides, this dance is a significant attraction to visitors and other outsiders because, to them, watching Turkish dancers spin is breathtaking. However, Rumi’s whirling dervishes is not just a source of entertainment for the devoted members of the Mevlevi Order of Islam. To them, whirling and spinning is a customary meditation practice. It is also a worship ceremony that aims to reach Karma, the source of all perfection.

The dance is unique to dervishes because they let go of their ego and personal desires to get involved fully in the music. It seems easy to do when watching, but you need a lot of practice to be an expert.

There is a long history of the origin of the whirling dervishes. The Mevlevi Order, a Sufi order whose origin is in Konya, was founded by followers of Muhammad Balkhi Rumi (Mevlana Celaddiin-i Rumi). Rumi was a Persian poet in 13th Century AD and an Islam theologian. The Mevlevis remembered their God by whirling.

Whirling is moving in a circular motion in speed and force, resembling the Mevlevis dance. Dervish is another name for the Mevlevis Order. Therefore, since dervish danced by whirling, the dancers were called whirling dervishes. The Mevlevi Order was established 750 years ago, and its traditions are mostly related to the teachings of Rumi. Rumi’s other name is Mevlana, the most celebrated poet in Turkey and Iran. He is also respected in Sufi Islam.

The Sema ceremony was characterized by the whirling and spinning dance, a characteristic of a Whirling Dervish. The dancers’ goal was to achieve a state of Sufism, which gives them inner power and peace to connect with the world.

Whirling Dervishes was introduced 700 years ago by the Mevlevi Order of Islam, which was established by Rumi’s son, Sultan Veled, with help of Husameddin Chelebi. Sultan was an excellent leader of the Mevlevi Order, and his extraordinary leadership saw its growth and spread to other cities. For example, Mevlevi spread to countries like Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine. Before his death, Rumi met Shams al-Din of Tabriz, a mystic who changed his life. According to him, the mystic was a representative of perfection, and although he had a devoted group of followers, he started following Shams.

Rumi’s students and followers watched him ditch his values and rituals in disbelief to follow Shams al-Din’s. They were angry and attempted to break the mystic’s hold over Rumi. The students succeeded by killing Shams al-Din in 1247, which affected Rumi and went into mourning. At the end of his mourning period, Rumi introduced new ideas about celebrating God’s love. And that was the birth of Sema ceremonies. The Dervishes dance in long white gowns and full skirts and cover their heads with tall hats.

When they cast the tunic off during the ceremony, it is an indication that they are turning their backs on the world to draw closer to God. The sheikh of the dervish lodge wears a waist-length woolen jacket to represent Islamic law. The conical hat, which can be brown, grey, or black, represents the tombstones of their egos.

In the early years of the Mevlevi Order, men and women gathered to pray, share spiritual conversations, and whirl together. Later, the men started isolating the women to dance separately, forming their groups. Things have changed, and today, only men can be whirling dervishes according to traditions. However, some places like Istanbul allow women to dance with men.
