Socialism is more than a failed economic system. It promises “free” material goods but instead delivers control over every aspect of life. Conservatives often struggle to portray the true cost of socialism in terms of freedom and wasted opportunity. For a generation that doesn’t remember the Cold War or the tearful celebration when the Berlin Wall collapsed, socialism’s tremendous personal toll on millions of lives is no longer obvious. The real cost of the socialist system is the disappearance of individual liberty—the space in a free society for people to love, worship, build careers, create art and families. That cost cannot be measured on a balance sheet. Socialism destroys the economy, yes, but also humanity and freedom.

Prior to arriving at Bennu, mission planners had expected the asteroid’s surface to consist largely of fine particulate material, similar to gravel. When OSIRIS-REx arrived in December 2018, however, it was greeted by a rocky world covered with boulders. This unexpected ruggedness means that there are few places on Bennu where OSIRIS-REx can safely touch down and collect a sample. After a year of studying the asteroid, the mission announced a primary sample collection site, which they designated “Nightingale,” along with a backup site called “Osprey.” In October 2020, OSIRIS-REx will descend to Bennu and attempt to collect up to four-and-a-half pounds of loose material, for return to Earth in 2023.

At CIBUS 2014 we interviewed Raffaele de Curtis, Export Sales Dept., who told us about the Society of which he is part. Acetaia di Modena is a company that has established itself in the exclusive market of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena both for the quality of its products and the strong experience of a production which was born more than 30 years ago. The company is located in the heart of the typical area of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. The charm of their Acetaia lies in the extensive availability of barrels and vats in which their Balsamic Vinegar of Modena matures and ages with respect to the strictest traditional procedures. Their aging rooms are on three floors where more than 250.000 litres of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena rest in small Slavonian oak barrels. The attention to the selection of the raw materials, and the strict controls their Quality Assurance dept. continually carries out on all the productive steps ensures a guarantee of the product and for the consumer to recognize many up-scaled certifications both of system and quality (Certificato di conformità allo standard BRC, Certificato di conformità allo standard IFS, Certificato di conformità del sistema di qualità agli standard ISO 9001:2008, Conformità di prodotto ai requisiti del Disciplinare CABM (Consorzio Aceto Balsamico di Modena), Certificato di conformità agli Standard Etici SGS). Their attention to the market and the requests of clients brought them to widen their range of new products. They have therefore complimented their Balsamic Vinegar of Modena with a wide range of Condiments, all of them made with vinegar. Together with their Balsamic Vinegar of Modena they suggest also: Tradizionale Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, both matured and extra-aged in the typical 100 ml Giugiaro bottle, White Condiment, Balsamfruttas, Classis and fruity Glaze.

Our correspondent met to CIBUS 2014 Mr. Angelo Giacobazzi, winemaker, of Farms Giacobazzi. The family has ancient traditions in the production of balsamic vinegar that date back at least five generations. At first they were for private use only, and later for a small local distribution, and the responsibility of the production was the "rezdora," the lady of the house, that of women. The vinegar conducted by mother Mirella but began in the sixties to receive numerous awards and recognitions for vinegar made from the grapes of his vineyards. Prof. Benedetto Benedetti, at the time director of the Archaeological Museum Estense and Grand Master of the Guild of Spilamberto, he used to tell that "Mirella vinegar was just as described by the ancient letter from Aggazzotti (1860) and the goodness of his legitimized in vinegar full method Aggazzotti same ... ". Mirella then became increasingly involved in starting new vinegar For many of the wealthiest families of Modena. Over the years the family has added vinegar AVN awards until 1989 when it was joined by numerous awards including the Prize Gancia, obtained by overcoming severe selections associations sommelier. The barrels of the many generations of the family are now well preserved in the large slabs of Villa Emma Nonantola. The history of Mirella is dotted with a string of hits due to the great passion for the balsamic vinegar that attached it to the memory of his mother, who died prematurely. This passion for the product inevitably influenced the children and grandchildren that they began to collaborate on the vinegar aids, such as agriculture, wine growing production of cooked must and maintenance of the Traditional Balsamic vinegar. With their children, in 1988, Mirella founded a new company to produce and export the balsamic vinegar and Angelo, winemaker, began to participate in the most important international trade fairs and events.

Autor Mauricio Bergstein “Adiós, Niassa. Trece días a través de Mozambique” Adiós, Niassa rememora la odisea de tres viajeros -dos uruguayos y un portugués- embarcados hacia la remota reserva de Niassa, olvidada durante el conflicto bélico que arrasó a Mozambique y hoy custodiada por catorce mil elefantes. La incursión en pequeños poblados remotos, la sorpresa de sus habitantes cuando ven irrumpir en su territorio a una frugoneta descomunal y la alegría de decenas de niños -a quienes donan útiles escolares- que no saben para qué sirve un bolígrafo, pasan a formar parte del viaje a través de ese mar de aldeas que es el Mozambique profundo. La realidad del país va imponiendo su propio ritmo a un recorrido plagado de incertidumbre, 250 mil minas terrestres diseminadas sin desactivar, misteriosas ceremonias en poblados cuyos nombres no aparecen en los mapas, permiten al autor reflexionar sobre el acto de viajar y su escurridizo significado".
