Paleogale sp.

Dear Friends
thanks to our Gianni, to his paleontological collection and to MS-01, the journey in the past eras can continue. It is now possible to dive, without knowing exactly when (about 30-35 Myr ago), in the Miocene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miocene  but knowing partially better where; in the land corresponding to the present Franken (Germany) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franken_%28Region%29 for meeting a  Paleogale sp.(specie) animal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaeogale , a nice, small, carnivorous parent of present Mustelide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustelidae . The elongated, solid roots and the sharp cusps confirms and indicates the kind of its bloody diet. Comments are appreciated.

Pallasite

Dear Friends
having still time before eat, I decided to analyse in much more details the structures of the Pallasite of meteorite Brahin: see  http://m-polo.blogspot.de/2015/05/pallasite-art.html . I used the objective lens Optec 10 0.2 and I calibrate MS-01 for this lens. In focusing, the lens arrived very close to the specimen but at a distance still sufficient for allowing illumination and observation. Probably, this lens is an immersion oil lens - I should investigate. In any case, I used it without oil immersion. The focusing is not easy and the stapling appears less effective than in case of less magnification in reveal minimal details. Have a look to the images and let me have your feedback. Suggestion for ameliorating the visions are welcomed.

Paskue Veronexi - Paparazzi

Dear Friends
from the images you probably realised that all in the reenactment of the Veronese Easterns went smooth and well. Practically yes, with the only exception of the paparazzi, a typical Italian behaviour. With the disappointment of many in the public, they were tolerated by the organisers and especially by the Carabinieri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carabinieri and, as you see from the images, they disturbed a lot the reenactement. Please, let me recommend you that if you want to document an event, try your best for not perturbating it.

Paskue Veronexi - Battle

Dear Friends
more exciting was one of the Veronese Easterns battles between Napoleonian soldiers and Venetian soldiers which took place in the past as today exactly at the same place, in front of Castelvecchio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelvecchio_(Verona) . Besieged in the castle, the Napoleonians attempted a sortie but were repulsed by the Venetians and the people of Verona. The action, see the images, impressed the public and me. My best congratulations to the organisers.

Paskue Veronexi - Parade

Dear Friends
the Pasque Veronesi (Veronese Easterns) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronese_Easter took place in April 1797, but I was lucky in Verona last Sunday to enjoy their replica. I noted surprise and bewilderment in the tourists and also in citizen of Verona unaware of the replica meaning but also interest for enlarge the knowledge for including one of the most bloody event of Verona history. The Parade took place in Piazza delle Erbe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_delle_Erbe animated by Venetian soldiers in black uniforms, Veronese soldiers in jellow-blue uniforms and Slavonian soldiers in red uniforms- The Venetian Republic flag was hoisted and a young recruit swear fidelity invoking the Trinity as witness. I apologize for the lot of images, but I think it is necessary for appreciating the event.
