breakthrough has been acclai-med in the agricultural sector for

wheat production: the scientists havedecoded the genome of the wheatplant. This discovery will change thetechnique of the wheat yield since agri-culture was developed 10000 yearsago. The genome is composed of 17billion individual “letters” represen-ting the genetic code, five times morethan the human one, and the resear-chers have decoded 95% of the DNAof the wheat plant.It took one year for the member of thescientific team to extract the draft se-quence, a record if we consider thanthe human genome was completed in15 years. The team involved ProfessorKeith Edwards and Dr Gary Barker atthe University of Bristol’s School ofBiological Sciences, Professor NeilHall and Dr Anthony Hall at the Uni-versity of Liverpool, and ProfessorMike Bevan at the John Innes Centre.The project was funded by the Biote-chnology and Biological Sciences Re-search Council (BBSRC). ProfessorHall said: “The genome sequence dataof this reference variety, ChineseSpring wheat, will now allow us toprobe differences between varietieswith different characteristics. By un-derstanding the genetic differencesbetween varieties with different traitswe can start to develop new types ofwheat better able to cope with drought,salinity and able to deliver higheryields. This will help to protect ourfood security while giving UK plantbreeders and farmers a competitive advantage.”The cost of the project hasbeen estimated at £ 1.8 million.Conventionally, the agricultural sectorcan not register a high rate of innova-tion but this research will revolutio-nize the cereal production and thecompetitivity of wheat breeding com-panies.Wheat breeders could producenew diseases resistant varieties ofcrop, using the information containedin the genome. This result come outjust after the drastic situation that Rus-sia, one of the most important exporterof wheat in the world, is experiecing.Russia suspended exports of wheat asit faces shortage caused by a droughtand wildfires.

involves the intent of the scientists toaccelerate the process to create diseaseresistant crops. The effects in the eco-nomy indicator consists an increasingof efficiency for the production of newbreeds, more food security and decrea-sing the price of bread.Analyzing the data, wheat cultivationoccupied 2 million ha in the world andthe global harvest consist of 550 mil-lion metric tons.Economists have estimated that Eu-rope needs to double the productivityto keep pace with demand and to main-tain stable prices. In reference to thegrowth rate of world population worldfood production has to increase by anestimated 50 per cent over the next 40years.The sequence data is an important stepto overcome the scenery delineated byMalthus theory and to face the globalissues including climate change, star-vation, and food shortage.

WHEAT GENOME: A SUCCESS FOR SCIENCE,

A NEW CHALLENGE FOR ECONOMY

The normal Russian wheat crop is 60million metric tons but the latest esti-mate is 45 million for this year. Professor Doug Kell, BBSRC ChiefExecutive, said: “Recent short-termprice spikes in the wheat markets haveshown how vulnerable our food sy-stem is to shocks. The way to support our food securityis by using research to better under-stand how we can deliver sustainableincreases in crop yield in the face ofclimate change and an uncertainworld.”The process for the creation of a newbreed at the moment takes five or sixyears; in the future the necessary timewill be one or two years.The scientists published the results ofthe research.

THE ITALIAN SCHOOL IN LONDON by Cinzia Cerbino

n the 9 of September 2010, theItalian Ambassador in UK,

Alain Giorgio Maria Economides hasofficially opened The Italian School inLondon; many other notable persona-lities took part at the ceremony as Hon.Picchi, Senator Fantetti, General Con-sole Uberto Vanni d’Architrafi and theDirector of Italian Culture InstituteCarlo Presenti. The Italian School inLondon, located in a pretty street nearNotting Hill, will provide a bi-lingualand bi-cultural education. The tea-chers, Merlica Effrey and Franca Bo-schi, are both English and Italianmother-tongue speakers.“The main idea of the project”, saysthe promoter Emanuela Federspil Ber-nstorff, “is that bilingualism is not onlythe ability to speak two languages per-fectly but also gives forma mentiswhich is more open and mature. Gro-wing up in a multilingual and multicul-tural environment teaches the newgenerations to accept and embrace thedifferences and complexities in our so-ciety from an early age and turns thechildren into true citizens of theworld”.The project, born during 2006, was ini-

on the interests of the children througha self-guided curriculum. The ambas-sador expressed his gladness for theinauguration of The Italian School ofLondon, and his pride for the projectthat comes out just after the celebrationof 150° Unity of Italy. Moreover heunderlined the importance of this ini-tiatives that represent the trait d’unionamong Italian community and the citi-zens of the country where we live.The Italian Minister for Foreign Af-fairs sent his message from Italy spe-cifying the importance of theenterprises that promote the human ca-pital and active new energies.We agree with who said: “The bettermethod to forecast the future is tocreate it”.This group of people did not aspect thechanges from the other but they investtheir own energies in the project thatthey would realize.A child of today will be the citizen oftomorrow and the education rest themost important aspect for a good andsafe society.

To be a Londoner today. Or maybe not to be. That’s the question.

feel and to understand the personality.And if the person will be able to playthat part”. With a great script – writersSam Bevitt, Roberto Trippini and Mi-cheal Clarkson - above all “I’m a Lon-doner” poses some importantquestions about what it is to be a Lon-doner, targeting those stereotypes ofour city everyday life.Nowadays London is a blend of cultu-res and people, often countering one toeach other, subject to continuous tran-sformation. A town where it is verydifficult to find someone who speaksEnglish. A place of loneliness as acommon habit, even if you are not sin-gle. The recent political issues, the cre-dit crunch and the war, have changedsomething in town. “I’m a Londoner”reflects all these particular aspects bytelling loser stories and not the one ofthe winners. The show can be descri-bed through each single character andrelative monologue.The first character, in fact, is an Asiangirl – actress Suni La - who distributesthe Evening Standard, not the job shedreamed of when coming to London.She almost committed suicide once, toease her pain, probably. People werelaughing at her on the Tube platformand so did her boyfriend when she toldhim. She is alone. But she must behappy to keep going on with her job,the only chance to survive she has. Thesecond monologue is an ex- Army ho-meless – actor David Palliser. Once ahero, now on heroine, he is a veryangry one, used to have a glitteringlife, money and beautiful girls. Afterhe was discharged at work had nomoney. He is alone now and sleepsroughly anywhere. He says:”That’swhy I’m on drug. Forget who I am fora sec, become someone else, becomepowerful”. The third character is a re-ligious fanatic – actor Tom Bonington- who shouts in a megaphone: “Be awinner/ not a sinner”. He is a Christianreborn, addicted to Bible.

’m a Londoner” is extremely im-pressive, performing at The Cour-

tyard Theatre, Old Street, until the next5th September.The set is the real London street life.The format is a succession of charac-ters with as much dialogues. The ac-tors’ performances are very good. Agreat script posing the question of whatis a Londoner today. Each character re-presents an icon you meet in your eve-ryday life. “I’m a Londoner” must beseen.The show is built on a lineup of assor-ted characters wisely chosen, represen-ting the variegated mankind ofLondon. It is a sequence of seven cha-racters, each one of them with a dedi-cated monologue.You maybe presume to know London,most probably you don’t. “I’m a Lon-doner was conceived in 2009. The ideacame from when I was very sick andwas watching television. There wasnothing much interesting on televisionor anything that represents diversityand culture which is one of the muchthat make up of London. So I decidedI want to create characters, the onesthat I come across on the street. Theyare daily basis for us, but the connec-tions are not huge connections, theystill have a small impact when youpass by” said director Saima Duhare,also producer for Palladini Produc-tions. The performances of the actorsare remarkable. The cast does a greatjob, often interacting with the public,creating touching atmospheres and co-mical moments or a bittersweet joke.The actors were chosen in an informalway, says Saima Duhare: “I wanted tofind a person not an actor.

he team behind Diaspora, theopen source alternative to Face-

book that got a lot of high-profile pressduring Facebook's privacy controver-sies earlier this year, announced todaythat it is on track to launch the firstopen source version of its social net-work on the 15th of September. Just assoon as two of its members get backfrom the Burning Man festival.The team says it has pushed back te-chnical work like plug-ins and APIsand is instead focused on User Inter-face and a key feature that Facebookhas neglected: contextual sharing."That means an intuitive way for usersto decide, and not notice deciding,what content goes to their coworkersand what goes to their drinking bud-dies. We know that's a hard UI pro-blem and we take it seriously."The way that Facebook has failed toembrace that kind of contextual sha-ring and has instead pushed for univer-sal openness of almost all publishedcontent by default is one of the biggestthings the world's leading social net-work has been criticized for. It couldbe a serious vulnerability in the socialnetworking market. We first wroteabout the Diaspora project in earlyMay, when a team of NYU computerscience students put their ambitiousplan up on community fundraising siteKickstarter. A week later, a spate ofhigh-profile social web celebrities,most prominently podcaster Leo La-porte, quit Facebook and rallied finan-cial support for Diaspora as analternative.The team had set a goal of raising$10,000, but tidal waves of attentionresulted in donations totaling morethan $200,000. Even Facebook foun-der Mark Zuckerburg gave them a do-nation. "I see a little of myself inthem," he told Wired.Short on code but long on benevolentambition, the team set out to buildwhat it calls a "privacy aware, perso-nally controlled, do-it-all, open sourcesocial network." Diaspora moved toSan Francisco and began working withPivotal Labs, the company that helpedTwitter get over its initial scaling chal-lenges. The team decided to build itssocial network on top of the OStatusopen source code base, the develop-ment of which has been lead by the wi-dely-loved creators of Status.net, theopen source microblogging enterprisealternative to Twitter.Now flush with financial and commu-nity support, Diaspora has been issuinginfrequent but optimistic updates aboutits progress. It appears that an intero-perable implementation of the custo-mizable social network will be readyto run on your servers by the middle ofnext month.

Ex- City worker, one time he had a be-autiful apartment, lots of money, gor-geous girls. But then he became HIVpositive. Glittering life is finished. Heis alone now. So he turned into a reli-gious extremist. To save his soul, per-haps having seen his body cannot besaved anymore. The fourth monologue– actress Sanita Simms - portrays a fa-shionista. She goes around shoutingcontinuously “Yah” or “Darling” intoher mobile, a sort of extension of herhand. “Fashion is all that I care” shestates. She feels superior to everyoneand to everything she cannot under-stand, disgusted by using a bus. Shegoes to all the posh places downtownbut is totally alone, living a false lifeof fake friends.The fifth character – actor AndrewWard - is a Belarusian burger seller.“Everybody in London shits gold” so-meone tricked him in his country. Hehas been deceived not only with op-portunities, work, and money but withthe promise of a lifestyle upgrade.Now he must pay back a lot of moneyor his family is endangered. He works19 hours per day selling burgers to ha-teful customers. When the counciltakes away his grill, he looks for helpbut can only ask to his slave- drivers.The sixth monologue – actress VelileTshabalala - describes a drunken Nige-rian socialite. She is the daughter of anambassador. Her mum once told hershe is born for a mistake. She lives ina world of malicious gossip, champa-gne parties and has no friends. “Godgave me a friend once, my grandfa-ther” she says.

She replied to wait for herat the airport, maybe or maybe not, co-ming. With a bitter “Ciao London” hecloses the show.“These characters are very importantto London City. We overlook just be-cause they don’t wear the suit and justbecause they don’t fit into a social en-vironment. But we perceive they stillhave great stories to tell” said SaimaDuhare.

he Tube strike did not deter asmall crowd to attend an evening

dedicated to Dante Alighieri hosted atthe Italian Cultural Institute. A very in-teresting talk by Professor Enrico Ma-lato from the Università Federico II inNaples, especially flown from Italy forthis event, has kept the audience en-thralled explaining the birth of theLove Poems during the Middle Age inItaly and the political life at thosetimes.And with a very flowing speech, Pro-fessor Malato went from Dante’s firststeps in poetry, his life to the periodwhere Florence started to be the centreof culture in Italy promoting the Artsand its artists. For the guests whocould not speak italian, the simultane-ous translation by Ms Consuelo Hack-ney provided a great occasion allowingthe audience to follow the talk. Afterthis introduction a reading in italianand english by Nadia Ostacchini fromthe Tricolore Theatre Company, pro-moted the publishing of the “ Rime”by Dante Alighieri, translated by J.G.Nichols and Anthony Mortimer forOneworld Classics publishing house.In “ Rime” there are few verses mis-sing because Dante Alighieri decidedto include them in another book “ LaVita Nuova”. And next to be publishedby Oneworld Classics is “La VitaNuova” translated for the english mar-ket. Between one reading and the otherit has been possible to listen to a seriesof medieval music thanks to CristinaLyssimachou who played the theorbo,a string instrument from the late 16thcentury.

ERN Geneva, The Alpha Ma-gnetic Spectrometer (AMS), an

experiment that will search for anti-matter and dark matter in space, leavesCERN next Tuesday on the next leg ofits journey to the International SpaceStation. The AMS detector is beingtransported from CERN to Geneva In-ternational Airport in preparation forits planned departure from Switzerlandon 26 August, when it will be flown tothe Kennedy Space Center in Floridaon board a US Air Force Galaxy tran-sport aircraft.A press conference to mark the occa-sion will be held at the press room ofGeneva International Airport at 9:00CEST on 25 August, and journalistswill have the opportunity to visit theAMS detector and the aircraft. Thosewishing to attend to the visit shouldcontact the CERN press office by12:00 CEST on Monday 23 August atthe latest, providing their nationality,date of birth and passport or identitycard number. This document must alsobe presented before the visit. Pleasenote that only the people who have re-gistered will be able to go on the apronto visit the AMS detector and the air-craft. Journalists who would like to seethe arrival of the AMS detector at Ken-nedy Space Center on 26 August areinvited to apply until tomorrow, 19 Au-gust. Details are available from ESAAMS will examine fundamental issuesabout matter and the origin and struc-ture of the Universe directly fromspace. Its main scientific target is thesearch for dark matter and antimatter,in a programme that is complementaryto that of the Large Hadron Collider.Last February the AMS detector tra-velled from CERN to the EuropeanSpace Research and Technology Cen-tre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk (Nether-lands) for testing to certify itsreadiness for travel into space. Follo-wing the completion of the testing, theAMS collaboration decided to returnthe detector to CERN for final modifi-cations. In particular, the detector’s su-perconducting magnet was replaced bythe permanent magnet from the AMS-01 prototype, which had already flowninto space in 1998. The reason for thedecision was that the operational life-time of the superconducting magnetwould have been limited to threeyears, because there is no way of refil-ling the magnet with liquid helium, ne-cessary to maintain the magnet’s

Following itsreturn to CERN, the AMS detector wastherefore reconfigured with the perma-nent magnet before being tested withCERN particle beams. The tests wereused to validate and calibrate the newconfiguration before the detector lea-ves Europe for the last time.“The entire AMS collaboration is deli-ghted by this departure, because itmarks a crucial milestone for the expe-riment. We are getting close to thespace shuttle launch and the momentwhen our detector will finally be in-stalled on board the ISS,” explainedProfessor Sam Ting, Nobel laureateand spokesman for the experiment.“The detector’s construction phase isnow finished and we are eager for thedata collection phase to begin.” “Thelaunch of AMS detector is very ti-mely,” added Roberto Petronzio, Pre-sident of the Italian National Institutefor Nuclear Physics. “Today we arewell aware of our ignorance of Univer-se’s most abundant constituents andwe still challenge the puzzle of matter-antimatter asymmetry. Furthermore,recent results from the Pamela experi-ment suggest scenarios for importantdiscoveries for AMS.
