John Catalano, a native of Palermo is an electronic engineer, worked in Milan, he played in a rock band. This life hides, as well as the music, another underlying passion, that of poetry. Catalano is in fact an emerging young poet and has published with Flashes of print in 2009 his first collection, "Imagine the girl." "Imagine the girl" is a delicate contemporary songs that incorporates lyrical arranged in a pattern broken up into sections (Variations on the creation, the lens maker, names and cities, Nostos Hotel). It insinuates itself into the dominant female presence that stands out verse after verse as "hanging by invisible threads, tight clothes and forms, enlivens generating shadows. This woman, these women, from honey-colored hair, which become wet in fragrance "roots extracted from the earth, wrapped in the towel, or standing among the" blue silence "in Santorini, not only are there every day or sweet accompaniment to the trip, but also confirming the presence and absence therefore, subject and object of contemplation, interaction and reflection. The poet writes: " the number of women in this book, as there are images of bodies and how bodies. And somehow they are also absent. There is a chance that never existed and that there remains a chance. How as subjects and objects, with all that this may result in the era of mass exhibitionism and the commodification of the body. It Women's sometimes becomes the starting point and not only the place of a return . This substantial, though streaky, uniform issue is accompanied by a simple stylistic uniformity, which makes this book a light and elegant cameo in the landscape of poetry contemporary art. The making of poems is deployed on a compound and dry, the lines are short, periods well concluded, and the poet gives his compositions a rhythm softly melancholic, ruffled by gusts synesthetic and alliterative and enriched by a vocabulary, which, as Domenico Cipriano stresses in the afterword, the author's scientific experience fades, it is crossed by a variety of geometric shapes and imbued with scientific references as "the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, or references to the paradox of socks (" I could tell you how many ") or Schrödinger's cat (" In Feltrinelli). This thematic and stylistic consistency, but falters in the face of the compositional structure of the individual poems irregular and uneven. After all, in fact, the figure has consistently and almost sphragìs , the compositions of Catalan , is a unique sliding abruptly by moments of sheer everyday epiphanies to ontological almost filled with a but the whole human mystical sacredness, and continuous bursts of neo-existentialist thought (and vice versa). The world we live is essentially the poet of coincidences and chance to taste Popper, gates that open space and time "suddenly" between verses (Coincidence) and which create parallel worlds, in which events would have happened , which could / wanted and instead is more successful. The Catalan has eyes that the real seems discontinuous in both descriptions and flow of thoughts in the creation of images. And if at times his lines sharp pictures in the clear light of beauty, but sometimes our eyes are opaque and cloudy for the use of distorting lenses that give rise to a reality out of focus. And so sometimes, like through the "glass knurled" of Magrelli (which, as the author says is essential to its reference model, with much of American poetry by Kenneth Koch of 900 to Stephen Dobyns), he takes only the erosion of bodies that are real beyond it, yet so uncertain and indefinable and indefinite boundaries.

" Police spying on us on Facebook "of George Florian -" A secret deal with the social network. That allows the police to come arbitrarily and without the mandate of the judiciary in all the profiles of the Italian people. I have just signed in California (October 28, 2010). In the United States, amid numerous controversies, is studying a bill that, if approved by Congress, will allow the federal investigative agencies without a warrant to break into technology platforms like Facebook and gain all their confidential data. In Italy, without fanfare, have already done. The leaders of the police post two weeks ago went to Palo Alto, California, and took away the first in Europe, a cooperation pact that provides for the possibility of activating an endless series of checks on the pages of social networks without having to submit a request judiciary and wait the time required for an international letter rogatory. This is because, they explain to the Postal Police, the timely intervention is essential to repress certain crimes because of the rate of diffusion of the Internet in real time to evolve. Think, then, that can follow the Italian digital detective engaged primarily in the fight against child pornography, phishing scams and data transmission, but also to avoid inconvenience to the public figures whose profiles are created without their knowledge. Intent may be shared, but in fact the police to deliver the pass to open the virtual doors of our homes without requiring the authorization of a prosecutor. Specifically, the 400 staff of the Police Investigation Department of Post and Communications and record can browse through the nearly 17 million Italians to Facebook profiles. But we are confident that everything will respect our privacy? In fact, a couple of years now, the sheriffs Italian riding over the prairies of bits. Police, Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza and even policemen plumb the Internet community to obtain sensitive information, build their network of relationships, confirm or refute alibis and prosecute offenders. More and more people lead a parallel existence on the Net and this explains why the investigations take their place alongside traditional long virtual stalking. With the difference that because of the enormous potential of the Web and the ease with which they violate privacy of others is very easy to get targeted by cybercop: no need to stain offenses but enough to have allowed the friendship to someone who gravitate to environments "interesting" for law enforcement. In Milan, for example, a section of the local police wanted by Deputy Mayor Riccardo De Corato unleashes his "cast iron" twriter groups in order to infiltrate their community and identify the signatures of urban graffiti to track and report them to the authors for contamination . The bands of Chinese adolescents, between Lombardy and Piedmont, terrorizing his countrymen with extortion, are continuously monitored by the interpreters police that sneak into QQ, the most popular chat community. Even South American gangs, the protagonists in the past score-settling in Genoa and Milan, are monitored by the police. And the boards of the offices of the flying squad are covered with photos downloaded from Facebook, where the leaders of gangs that call themselves the Latin King, or Forever Ms18 were tagged with other guys from South America, allowing agents to obtain their organic nigramma . True experts in the monitoring of the Web are now of Digos investigators, who have stopped growing a beard to stroll around the centers or to shave the hair to attend the curves of the stages. Much easier to penetrate Groups considered at risk with the click of a mouse. As for the Carabinieri, each operating department authorizes its military, the degree of sergeant up, log in to any website for undercover investigations, especially in the world of drug dealing among young people who use chat to fix the exchange of drugs or to order doses to be received in schools. While, to prevent trouble during the rave, the companies of the Carabinieri of the province was asked to join the social networking site Netlog, where fans of techno music come together for rallies calling fans from all over Europe. Searching for ravers there are also institutions iv compartments of the Police Post and Communications, located in all regional capitals and 76 sections located in the province. "
