Tecartherapy in London – UK

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

I am struggling to find a physiotherapist in London who is able to offer Tecartherapy. I tried the Tecartherapy in Italy few months ago and it was amazing! It worked straight away.

What is the Tecartherapy?*

Information about Tecartherapy can be found at Human Tecar (in english), otherwise is plenty of info in italian… but I dont think that many people can speak and understand italian :)

Here the list of some italian websites:

Here also some videos:

If anyone knows some Tecartherapists in London (possibly not remote areas) please feel free to comment on this post. It will be helpful for many other people.
Many thanks :)


*As I am not a professional, I only mentioned some of the sources that provide some information about Tecartherapy, but I dont assume any responsibilities for the information reported in the above mentioned websites/documents/videos.

Has the internet made “the surveillance society” inevitable?

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

This article was originally published in May 2008.

There are 1,319,872,109 internet users in the world [1], and most of them are not perfectly aware of “the surveillance society”, of its laws and regulations. When protection against terrorism and personal safety are involved, people accept the notion of a surveillance society, however when the focus shifts onto personal privacy and anonymity, this perspective tends to change. This essay explores some of the aspects of surveillance society in relation to the internet, first of all highlighting who watches who, how the surveillance happens, positive and negative points of view and finally, how to deal with the surveillance society.

To be under surveillance means having information about one’s movements and activities recorded by technologies, on behalf of the organisations and governments that structure our society. This information is then sorted, sifted and categorised, and used as a basis for decisions which affect our life chances. Such decisions concern our entitlement and access to benefits, work, products and services and criminal justice; our health and well-being and our movement through public and private spaces.” [2].

YAHOO! Pipe: building data mashups

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

I am really enjoying YAHOO! Pipe.

In just few minutes you are able to build Web-based apps from various sources, and then publish those applications.

On YAHOO! Pipe website there are lot of examples that you can take and edit. It is so easy. You can even mashup the YAHOO! Map with any other data that you like.

Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line.

Its creators: Pasha Sadri, Ed Ho, Jonathan Trevor, Kevin Cheng and Daniel Raffel of Yahoo!

Have a look!

Ciao,

Marco :)
