Super rich even “a bit more” richer: in Italy are 176.000 and manage 336 billion euro (+4.5%)
In 2012, thanks to the global recovery in stock prices and real estate markets, however, in spite of a difficult year for the real economy, the financial wealth in the world has returned to march at a good pace, registering a growth of 10% and reaching the threshold of 46.2 trillion dollars.
In 2011 there was a decrease of 1, 7% and the wealth stood at 42 thousand billion dollars. Individuals who have investable wealth of at least one million dollars are 12 million people (9.2% compared to 2011 when they were 11 millions). While the Asia accuses a slight slowdown, while maintaining its leadership in terms of growth rate, the North America is reconfirmed in 2012 the area with the greatest wealth, after overtaking in 2011 by the Asia-Pacific. With 3.73 million individuals with financial wealth from one million dollars and up, Scrooge Americans exceed 3.68 million in the Asian region, with a total wealth of 12.7 trillion compared to $ 12 trillion in the Asia-Pacific. The wealth grows less in Latin America (it was in pole position in 2011) but has faltered in 2012 due to the slowdown in GDP growth and stock markets.
Italy remains in tenth position with 176.000 individuals and records from last year, a jump of 4.5% and has a wealth of 336 billion dollars (168 thousand were individuals with financial wealth from one million dollars in 2011).

In addition, the ratio of savings to GDP has increased from 19.2% in 2011 to 20.3% in 2012. Leggi tutto…
Rome has a new mayor. Equal opportunities, egual rights, for all: finally!
“Rome will return to take care of its citizens, and will listen to them.
I feel a very strong commitment and will practice speaking directly with the Romans, out of the building, to raise the critical issues in the field and find solutions together. Because Rome has to find a soul, a spirit of community.
A soul that today Rome does not have.
I’ll give it everything. I’m already working to build my team on the basis of merit, transparency and competence. And to fix the first objectives of my program achievable in the first 100 days.
We will do everything to get back to Rome we love.
Our city will return to dream and to hope.
Rome will return to being international.”
Born in Genoa, at age 14 he moved with his family to Rome. Ignazio Marino, the new mayor of Rome, before becoming a politician was a surgeon who specializes in organ transplants. He graduated in medicine and surgery to ‘Università Cattolica, and began to Policlinico Gemelli.
In the early eighties, to specialize, he studied first in England, at Cambridge, and then in the USA at the University of Pittsburgh, world center of excellence for transplants.
In 1993 he became Co-Director of Centro Trapianti del “Veterans Affairs Medical Center”, the only department for liver transplants belonging to the Government of the United States. He wanted to import in Italy the skills acquired during the American experience, in 1999 he helped found, then directing it, the’ISMETT, the multi organ transplant center in Palermo. In July 2001 he performed the first organ transplant in Italy on an HIV-positive patient. The intervention sparked much debate and criticism, but thanks to it, the patient still enjoys an excellent quality of life and has opened a new therapeutic option in Italy for patients with HIV.
He has directed the Department of the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia where they were joined, for liver transplantation, survival highest found in the United States. For this he was awarded the lifetime title of Professor of Surgery.
In 2006, he finally returned to Rome, creating a desire he felt for a long time: to live again in the city he loved most in the world. He decided to run for the Senate as an independent, and has been elected from the ranks of the Democratic Party. In the most important party of center-left. He began his political work also seeking to ensure that Italy’s development of a law on living wills. Wanting to assess merit and research, obtained the creation of a fund – Financial approved in two different laws – intended for young researchers evaluated by a committee of scientists under the age of 40. In the general elections of 2008 was re-nominated and re-elected senator. In the legislature that has just ended was president of the Commissione parlamentare d’inchiesta sull’efficacia e l’efficienza del Servizio Sanitario Nazionale.
In Rome, he faced difficulties in practice often in dramatic hospitals with no budget, hospitals at risk of closure and with a competent staff made precarious by the block in turnover. He denounced the intolerable conditions in the waiting rooms of emergency, such as the square of the Policlinico Umberto I (recently closed), where nurses, doctors and technicians are forced to work in unacceptable conditions. He collected reports of centers of excellence for rehabilitation at risk of not being able to assist people with disabilities, seniors and their families.Was able to check the status of health facilities Italian defending the right of patients to receive quality care and services, contributing to the closure of psychiatric hospitals judicial, real criminal asylums of which we have denounced the degradation.
For the new Mayor, politics is just that: listen to people, engage every day for the good of all, offer their expertise to protect the core values that make us equal, with equal rights and hold it together our community.
Roma suffer: they have lost the sense of community and ethics, organization and services, innovation and productive force.
Marino dreams instead a city that works, with a transparent management, which makes the lives of people who live easier, safer, faster. An international city which multiplies the opportunities for all.
The Marino dream is of a city that has no fear. A city that defends and promotes women, the gay. A city that attracts, which grows in an ethical, intelligent and environmentally friendly, which gives new value to the cultural dynamism, which will resume its rightful role in the world.
Marino wish a friendly city, capable of speaking citizens, tourists, pilgrims and students protected, but a city available to boost solidarity, which helps those who are most vulnerable, who can be suitable for children and rediscover the taste of smile on the street.
In Rome need to build our international ambition, dedication and care need, need moral integrity. And they serve commitment, enthusiasm and determination.
Rome needs of all his energy, innovative ideas and desire to work, all the help big or small that everyone will want to give.
With Marino will be many: all those who love Rome and who wish to contribute to a historic turning point for the city, not to let them win again the same old logic of power and party affiliation: Marino with everyone hopes that at Rome will end the era of privileges and favors and begin that of the rights and possibilities.
Bin Laden, quel virus che colpisce su Facebook
Il post ti arriva in bacheca lanciato da uno dei tuoi contatti, e magari subito ti insospettisce perchè spesso non è magari nemmeno tra quelli che più frequentemente scambia pareri con te. Ma arriva in un momento in cui in tutto il mondo c’è voglia di conoscere i dettagli della storia del momento: la fine, vera o presunta, del terrorista Osama Bin Laden. Una fine di cui in dettaglio si sa poco o nulla. E quindi il titolo del post, con un possibile video o delle immagini dell’uccisione di Bin Laden, ha un’attrattiva che non occorre nemmeno spiegare: al momento sono questi i contenuti più desiderati dal popolo del Web, e non solo da quello s’intenda. Dunque questa è stata la trappola migliore per chi voleva diffondere nuovi virus informatici e cercare di fare un po’ di “clickjacking”, un’attività finalizzata al furto di dati più o meno sensibili. Ecco quindi che le bacheche di Facebook di tutto il mondo – anche la vostra, probabilmente – si sono piano piano riempite di messaggi di condivisione di un link che recita “Il video dell’esecuzione di Bin Laden” con un sommario che rafforza la voglia di cliccare: “Guarda cosa fanno questi soldati a Osama”. Ovviamente, ma lo diciamo chiaramente, il link non è da cliccare perché è un modo assai elaborato per inoculare un virus nel vostro pc.
Peccato che abbia fatto vittime illustri: ovvero, che nonostante fosse molto sospetta la procedura di attivazione, nel tranello ci siano caduti anche molti addetti ai lavori, gente che produce, edita e scrive righe di codice per la pagine del web da almeno 10 o 20 anni. Davvero possibile? Davvero davvero. Provate voi stessi a guardare la vostra bacheca di Facebook.
Probabilmente troverete imbrigliati nelle maglie di questa retata anche molti dei vostri amici più esperti, persone che fino a ieri avreste definito senza se e senza ma dei super esperti, gente competente, perchè tecno-informatizzata da lustri. E invece…
