Brittany Festival

Dear Friends
it was the exhortation of our Gianni that after my Tae Kwon Do training of yesterday evening, permitted me to win my reluctance and to attend the Brittany Feast at the Sky Bar of the EPO here in Munich. I expected a usual traditional feast gladdened by suggestive Celtic music and dances. But, on the contrary, together with traditional images and food, the Brittany Feast was gladdened by modern Breton rock music, because as a European Patent Office friend observed, the Bretons, despite to their attachment to the tradition, like what is new (for those acquainted with the European Patent Convention: Articles 52(1)  and 54(1) EPC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_under_the_European_Patent_Convention ) and from my side, after many visits in Brittany, I can observe that they like also the inventive activity (Articles 52(1) and 56 EPC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventive_step_under_the_European_Patent_Convention). If you have any, please tell me your opinion on Bretons and Brittany.

World Press Photo 14

Dear Friends
punctual as in the last years the World Press Photo is arrived also this year in the Hall of the Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) with its load of anxiety and awareness. This 14th WPP presents mainly glimpses on world tragedies like those present now in of Syria and Iraq, letting to the spectator to draw his own conclusions. In my opinion, WPP manifest the protest not against the war, which is the consequence, but against the human nature that contains the seeds of the war. Please, have alook to the images and tell me your conclusions.

Fractals - Leaves

Dear Friends
we are in autumn and if you look around, you can see that the leaves abandon their habitual green livery for expressing different other colourful clothes. I am happy to see the leaves with their new clothes in my garden, and if you look to the images you can see that the clothed leaves rival with works produced in modern art and fractals:

It is sad to know that in few days the clothed leaves will be lost.

Paolo Zanarella - Il pianista fuori posto

Dear Friends

Paolo Zanarella: http://www.ilpianistafuoriposto.it/www/default.aspx, https://www.facebook.com/PaoloZanarella is an artist that extemporize music, place and time of his concerts, and so he permeates and suffuses with his music the normal daytime activity in which the public is absorbed. One of his last concerts was just last Saturday in Verona, Piazza Erbe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_delle_Erbe at noon. I can ensure you that it was a real unexpected pleasure for me to savour a good meal seasoned by the notes of Paolo.

Future Archaeology

Dear Friends
If you visit Archaeology of the Future: http://www.berlonigallery.com /exhibitions/43/overview/ of Steve Sabella: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Sabella  in Verona at the Centro Internazionale di Fotografia, Scavi Scaligeri:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Centro-Internazionale-di-Fotografia-Scavi-Scaligeri/89213864301
don't expect to receive information about technologies and possible achievement in the future of archaeology but rather the know the deep reflection of Steve about what is in its essential the life. This is in substance our present, i.e. the future of the past, which drives ourselves today, and the present, i.e. by looking to the future, which should prepare us for tomorrow so as to avoid a world which, as can be seen from the images, could be chaotic and oppressive although apparently well ordered and coloured. Any comment from your side is welcomed.

Salomé Salomé

Dear Friends
I accepted with pleasure the invitation of our Etienne (http://www.franzoesischer-schauspieler.com/  , https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5NEopXA5sB2D_Pug67tRXw ) to attend, last Friday, the drama Salomé ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome ) at the Pasinger Fabrik (http://pasinger-fabrik.com/en/ ) in München-Pasing. The drama ( http://pasinger-fabrik.com/de/theater/aktuell/detailansicht-aktuell-programm-pasinger-fabrik/cal/event/detail/2014/10/03/salome/view-list%7Cpage_id-69.html ) revisits the history of Salomé (Marc 6: 21-29, Matthew 14: 6-11), but shows in effects the interaction of two parallel death dramas, the love not corresponded of Salomé for John the Baptist which caused his death and the battle of Herodes (Etienne) for free himself from the power of women (Herodias, Salomé) which caused the death of both Salomé and Herodes. Comments from your side are welcomed.
