Libro scelto da Camilla - Come gocce nella pioggia

La pioggia, per Massimo, ha un significato tutto particolare, personalissimo. Ad essa, infatti, ormai adulto, egli collega i ricordi di quando, bambino, nel segreto della sua cameretta ogni goccia d'acqua che scendeva dal cielo era una compagna di sogni, quegli stessi sogni improvvisamente interrotti dall'incidente che gli aveva portato via suo padre e, con lui, la sua infanzia. Quando poi, per un caso del destino, incontra Simona, qualcosa in Massimo inizia a cambiare: in lui si fa strada, lentamente, l'idea di avere ancora la possibilità di innamorarsi e di trovare anche lui una compagna di vita. E così, affidati alle pagine dei suoi quaderni, leggiamo ricordi, speranze, impressioni di un'intera, seppur giovane, esistenza. E alla fine di quelle pagine anche noi, come Massimo, e come l'Autore che lo ha creato, non potremo non riflettere su ciò che siamo e concludere che la vita va vissuta a pieno, che ne vanno assaporate gioie e dolori, facendo tesoro della saggezza di chi ci ha preceduto e dell'ingenuità di chi, invece, verrà dopo di noi.

LA MATEMATICA DELLO ZAINO

The numbers of the the backpack discomfort

Recent studies have reported that up to 64% of children suffer from back pain (Negrini, 1999). That number may be alarming, but it does not really matter. What matters is if your child is one of them.

Studies from John Hopkins Children Center and many other places have shown that backpacks cause back and shoulder pain and poor posture in children. Here are the numbers:

• The average student has a visual analog pain scale level of 4.3 with some reaching an 8-9, as reported by Northeastern University in June of 2001.
• From a survey by the American Academy of Orthopedics: 71% of doctors feel backpacks are a clinical problem, 58% see patients with pain related to backpacks, and 52% think that this is a serious problem.
• 55% of students carry an overloaded backpack, as reported by Simmons College in February of 2001.
• 3,300 children aged 5-14 were treated in emergency rooms in 1997 for backpack related injuries according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
• An Auburn University study showed that 67% of children suffered muscle soreness, 51% back pain, 24% numbness and 15% shoulder pain.
• 65% of adolescents’ doctor visits are due to backpack injuries as reported by National Public Radio in October of 1998.

ZAINO E LA INNOVAZIONE - The Pangolin Backpack

Inspired by the animal known as he Pangoline, the Pangolin backpack has the design that resembles the razor sharp scales on the back part of the spiny pangolin. The backpack is made from recycled tire inner tubes from trucks and is handmade in columbia. Instead of a standard zipper enclosure, the Pangolin Backpack is designed in way that pieces retract with each other with three magnetic closures to keep the backpack closed. The backpack is extremely durable considering the tire innertube and the design gives the bag a unique and unusual look. The inner part of the bag are ample storage pouches for the user’s small items like pen.

LO ZAINO E LA FANTASCIENZA - Backpack of the Future

In the future, our electronic devices will be more than just rectangular screens in our pockets. They will be bolder and more integrated into the fabric of our lives – literally. The Androcell backpack is an electronic communication device designed with a “Cradle to Cradle” approach.

With an Androcell backpack, one can exchange, store, create, and view digital data and perform several basic tasks. A steady development of technology ensures a brief lifecycle for electronic products. This is why Androcell is a “Cradle to Cradle” design. The materials used are innovative and organic. At the end of its lifecycle, Androcell leaves behind technical nutrients and biodegradable waste. It is targeted at young adults who have a knack for gadgets and enjoy music with their travels. The design itself displays a bold personality. The “X” shaped brace derives its form from its function, however it gives the design a distinctive appearance.

The backpack features an interactive E-paper display that allows an individual look for every bag. The ribbed brace on the backpack has two major functions: first, it adds strength and durability to the bag; secondly, it emits light for safety at night (for example, when worn by a cyclist). The user can determine the light’s colour. The glowing brace and the E-paper display bring the bag to life. Self-expression is limited only by one’s imagination.

The shoulder straps also make use of the interactive E-paper display. The straps feature a touch interface linked to the items available on the screen. From here, one can browse, modify, and exchange files. One can assign hot keys, a remote, or images and videos to the display on the front of the bag-pack. One can also choose to share and transfer information by plugging a standard USB device into the clip of the waistband. The integrated speaker system allows one to enjoy music while outdoors. The shoulder strap also has a quick-share feature that allows the sharing of small amounts of data like name cards with other Androcell backpacks. When exposed to sunlight, tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic cells harness solar energy to power the device sustainably.
