Social movement started in Britain by artisan workers in the early nineteenth century against machines and industrial production because they destroyed employment and of course artisanal employment. It seems to have been named after a textile worker, Ned Ludd, perhaps pseudonym and legendary character in the style of Robin Hood, hero of the proletariat, contrary to the industrial revolution, who destroyed several textile machines. This movement spread during the 19th century by different countries. Also in Spain there were Luddite episodes in Alicante, Segovia or Girona.
From the Latin verb coopto -as cooptare , choose and also admit . It was first used in the legal-political sphere to signify the action of electing and admitting new members of an agency from within the institution itself. In that direction points the etymology : co-optare , choose , choose in company . Biologists also use this verb to signal the use made by certain organisms or living beings of procedures or mechanisms for a purpose other than the original (adaptation). Although biologists in these cases use rather the term exaptation. They explain many adaptive changes in the evolutionary line.
These early days of the new year some argue in the media about whether or not it snows in my land in the middle of the anticyclone. It is by the cinarra or cencellada, cencello or cenceño, meteorological formation of frost and white ice needles on the ground, grass and leaves and branches of trees. At night when the temperature drops to -5o or -6o on the banks of the Douro, the Tormes or the Aliste or the Pisuerga it seems to snow in the light of the streetlights. But no, they are the droplets of the mist that condenses and freezes at the dew point.
Peutinger's table, German humanist of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, who published in Antwerp for the first time a cartographic approximation of the known world, elaborated from the 4th century, which is rather an itinerary of the roads of the Roman Empire in which what interests a are the distances because geography is very distorted. The oldest copy is from the 13th-century monk Colmar on a parchment roll 34 cm wide by 675 long with 12 segments.
Bridge of God. It is a charming place, near Villarcayo, from the region of Las Merindades in the north of the province of Burgos. Part of this village with its Gothic-Romanesque church is sitting on a natural rock bridge over the Nela River, which has carved over the centuries an impressive arch.

From late Latin cambium, transformation, action and effect to change . Botanical term that designates a thin layer of plant cells located between the outer bark and the woody xylem or inner area of the plants. Each year it generates two new layers, one towards the inner xylem that raises the raw sap and another towards the outer floema that distributes the elaborate sap.
From Greek phloios, bark, fruit monda. Liber , book, layer of plants superimposed on the camoium to distribute the sap elaborated in photosynthesis. On the hill of Almodóvar near my neighborhood the rabbits eat this tender bark of young plants especially in summer when they run out of grass. If we don't protect them, goodbye plants. Even the resinous bark of the pines. And there is no hard bread to hunger.
For my asturlions soil they thus say to an elongated and conical wooden stopper to plug the hole of the spigot of the vat that is located at a certain height of the base so that the impurities do not come out of the wine. In Extremadura they call the clay boot and the wood tied to the handle with a rope to cover the pitorro hole.

Geometric body of 60 vertices, 32 faces and 90 edges that we can build in cardboard with 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons of the same side so that the latter do not touch each other as they result from the chamfering of the 12 vertices of the icosahedron. If we round this figure, tachin, tachán! there we have it, it's our football.
So you don't for you. Hemistiquis who wrote Virgil on the walls of the palace of Augustus, angered by the plagiarism of Batilo, for this to complete the verses. Only Virgil knew how to do it : Sic vos non vobis mellificatis , apes; Sic. . . fertis aratra , boves; Sic. . . nidificatis, birds; Sic. . . vellera fertis, oves. So do honey bees, but not for you; thus do the oxen, but not for you; thus you make the nest the birds, but not for you; that's how you carry the sheep, but not for you. So the creators make their works, but for us all to enjoy them. Intellectual property, yes, but art, culture, science, all the good things of life, at the service of all.
Latin poet of the 1st century century. C. , plagiarist of Virgil on the walls of the imperial palace, whom Virgil challenged with his repetitive sic vos non vobis , sic vos non vobis , sic vos non vobis , sic vos non vobis .

From Latin albus, white. Whiteness, reflected luminosity. In physics is the percentage of radiation that any surface, such as that of the earth, reflects in relation to the one it receives. In the albedo of our planet, now that we talk so much about climate change, many factors influence, such as the extent, inclination and coloration of the surface. The clear surfaces reflect more light and that's why they would heat up less. In our Andalusia most towns and cities dress in white.
In German and in many other languages, hair dryer. From the Latin Favonius, Favonio, which the Greeks called Zephyr, who lived in a cave of Thrace. In the area of the Alps they call a Mediterranean wind that arrives with a lot of moisture that discharges on the slopes to windward passing then dry and hotter to those of leeward. This change is called by meteorologists the foehn effect ( f-hn ) that occurs in many mountainous areas of the earth and that many relate to certain mental alterations such as depression, migraines, insomnia, madness and even criminal acts.
