Negli Anni Sessanta un gruppo di studiosi intraprese delle ricerche rabdomantiche e geologiche sotterranee, in particolare nell'area fra le Prealpi e la Pianura Padana, con l'ausilio di uno strumento elettronico messo a punto dall'Ing. Alessandro Porro. Del gruppo di lavoro guidato dall'Ing. Porro facevano parte anche un geologo, il Prof. Floriano Villa, e un giornalista del "Corriere della Sera", Mario Miniaci.I risultati delle ricerche, annotati in forma di "Diario" da Mario Miniaci, erano strabilianti: si trattava delle vestigia di una specie intelligente e tecnologicamente molto avanzata, che era vissuta sulla Terra in anticipo di milioni di anni rispetto alla comparsa del genere umano.Il Diario, insieme a molto altro materiale, fu donato da Miniaci all'amico Marco Zagni, molti anni dopo la frettolosa (e quasi imposta) conclusione delle ricerche. Ne è nato un rapporto in cui il Rabdo Team (Marco Zagni, Diego Marin, Loris Bagnara, Andrea Lontani) ha inteso esplorare da molteplici lati questa incredibile e sfuggente vicenda: in particolare dal punto di vista scientifico, cercando di spiegare il funzionamento del rabdomante elettronico, e di indagare la plausibilità dell'esistenza di un'antica civiltà non umana; ma anche dal punto di vista esoterico, letterario, fantascientifico, e perfino cospirativo.La prefazione è del Prof. Giorgio Galli.

His movies have cumulatively earned $2.4 billion in the domestic box office, making him the second most-successful director of all time, right behind Steven Spielberg. If one gathered the top six directors in that category, that same man would be only one of the half-dozen to not also be in possession of an Academy Award: Michael Bay.Commercial success and meaningful art don't always go hand-in-hand, but is it possible for a filmmaker to consistently hit his mark with the audience without truly doing something right artistically?

In the beginning, it was an idea - the approximate and inhospitable edge of the vast Spanish Empire and the beginning of no man's land. Then, it was a line on paper - a porous boundary with no physical barriers. In times of peace, it was a place of trade and cooperation; in times of conflict, it was the point where two different peoples clashed, as well as the meeting of the North and South of international geopolitics. Two centuries ago, the border was formed by vast deserts and dangerous regions in which nobody wanted to live - a vaguely defined and surveyed boundary. Today, in the second decade of the 21st century, despite being located in one of the most inclement habitats in the world, it is also the world's busiest. It functions like a country in itself considering the volume of economic operations carried out across the line, not to mention being one of the most monitored regions of the planet. Some experts have even called it a low-warfare zone. Consider, for comparison's sake, the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, where crossing means going from one pub to another, and it is hardly realized when one leaves one nation or the other. Or consider the open limits of Poland and Ukraine, which consists of beautiful green pastures decorated with all kinds of art. How did the border of Mexico and the United States transition from a wilderness to an overpopulated, violent, dynamic, buoyant, culturally dynamic land in such a relatively short time, where a plethora of legal and illegal goods cross in both directions? Curiously, there was a time when the two countries were not even neighbors. France was between them, possessing the vast land of the Louisiana territory, where Napoleon wanted to establish a French empire in the Americas. At that time, Mexico had the official but artificial name of "New Spain" - misleading, since atlases from the 16th century had already named it "America Mexicana"- and the United States was approximately the size of the present-day United Kingdom and Ireland combined. The disturbances in Europe soon put the two most conspicuous countries of the continent side by side, and these two North American nations garnered the world's attention in the 19th century. Certainly not everything has been bad in the relationship between the two nations. In fact, the border has developed its own traditions, history, and personality into one not entirely Mexican or entirely American. Timothy Brown, a scholar of the frontier and globalization, correctly points out that "to most Mexicans, their northern states, with half their nation's land but only one-fifth its people, seem too American, a bit alien, vaguely un-Mexican," and likewise, "to many Americans, their own Southwest sometimes seems similarly alien and terribly Hispanic." Thus, on numerous occasions, both countries have found along the line a way of helping each other for mutual benefit. By promoting the colonization of the far north from the late 19th to the early 20th century, President Porfirio Díaz helped the southern United States develop a thriving agricultural economy sustained by a Mexican labor force. The United States-Mexico Border: The Controversial History and Legacy of the Boundary between America and Mexico looks at the crucial boundary. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the border like never before.

Following many years of industrious efforts to do it his way and reap the rewards, the author finally lived a contented life in the East Midlands area of England. Retirement was not in his plans, and new ventures were considered and launched as the will to succeed in new things was always at the forefront of his mind. He has learned that not everything in life can be controlled and personal lives can take directions not desired; when busy with industrial business challenges, the author's personal life lay shattered with the family destroyed. Financial implications were problematic and brought on stress that, at the age when most people would already have been retired for several years, were not something welcome or indeed expected. A new direction in his life was forced upon him, perhaps more challenging than anything experienced so far. Readers will no doubt learn that maybe a busy working life is not ideal.

Lenny, while a student at St. Mary's College of Maryland, decided to enter our Fish Story contest, and in 1988, he won, opening up a long stint at THE CHESAPEAKE and leading to a career as a professional outdoor life writer.
