Curiosity "tax"

Here in Austria, as one would expect, other tax issues are different than in Italy.
The first thing that would send an Italian on a rampage is called Kirchensteuer (tax on the Church). This is an amount that all Catholics are obliged to pay annually, which currently reach a maximum of 200 €. What is questionable is that this is not a voluntary bid, but a real tax whose failure to pay leads to very serious consequences (you can go to jail, just as an example). The other unusual aspect of the thing, is the "flexibility" of the tax: a colleague of mine, years ago, has been bludgeoned by a 120 euro, which non sono certo pochi. Si è rivolto all'ufficio competente, ed in due minuti si è trovato a pagare 40 euro all'anno, senza neanche il bisogno di litigare. Volendo, è possibile anche farli rateizzare. L'importo della tassa, non è calcolato in base allo stipendio, bensì è un importo standard che il contribuente ha il diritto di andare a trattare con l'ufficio preposto. Chissà quanti immigrati come me hanno buttato i bollettini nelle immondizie, pensando si trattasse di un'offerta come capita in Italia.
L'unico modo per non pagarla proprio, è dichiararsi non credente o almeno non cattolico, cosa che fanno diverse persone, che magari sono cattolici veramente, ma che non trovano giusto che la Chiesa metta delle taxes.

Another rip-off half, compared to Italy is the total absence of liquidation (TFR).
I'm not 100% sure, but it is a friend who after several years at the same company decided to leave work and go away without a penny. I have promised to inform me in detail about it. On the other hand, fortunately, pensions are a bit 'higher than in Italy.

Apart from this curiosity, here in Klagenfurt there are no big news.
temperatures were significantly raised, and even days to get to 10-12 degrees, though some speak of a forecast of the imminent return cold, due to currents from Siberia or the like. I'm stepping up efforts to find an apartment, but for now I have done very little. I'll have seen a dozen, but the only two I liked were quite expensive and I left alone. I hope to have better luck.

Exotic Birds Export/import

Prolonged breastfeeding home-made yoghurt

Mio figlio ha compiuto un anno e quando mi capita di dire che lo allatto ancora non vi dico gli sguardi della gente... Non m'importa, ovviamente penso non siano fatti loro pero' ammetto che la cosa mi infastidisce parecchio.
C'è stato anche chi a 6 mesi e un giorno del piccolo mi ha detto " e adesso cosa fai? gli dai il latte in polvere o quello della centrale?"
Ma io dico, siamo impazziti? togliere il seno ad un piccolo di sei mesi solo perchè considerato "grande" mi sembra proprio un gran stupidata.
Mio figlio è nato prematuro, e all'inizio sono stata obbligata a tirarmi il latte e a darglielo con il biberon perchè era uno scricciolino in quell'immensa incubatrice e avevo una gran fear that breastfeeding does not start. Instead, just home from the hospital, the baby was stuck, I put in a box pump, Bibe, storage jars and started for us what I consider one of the most 'special and exciting paths between a mother and son.
Obviously there are various problems for mothers who were unable to breastfeed or mothers who have not wanted to do ... everyone makes their own choices and I am certainly not here to write to judge but I think that if nature has allowed me to do it, and enabled me to still have milk after a year of birth, I can not help but support her.
Benefits due to breastfeeding are many, perhaps first of all, the speech antibodies and if we think in a year that my son has never even had a cold I think it means something.
Needless to say, as I am in favor of breastfeeding and how long I may be fast and ready to respond to various comments and astonished stares only with a big smile ;)))) good knowing I'm doing for my little puppy d ' man.

Red Bumps On Stomach And Pubic Area

third birthday in Austria: 36 years!

Last Monday was the day of my 36th birthday, the third here in Austria.
I take this opportunity to thank again all those who have done me good wishes, and live, either by mail or on Facebook.
The celebrations were not great, but I spent a nice evening with some friends whom I thank for their participation. We have "closed" a couple of local area universities, then go here to conclude the session to the student. Luckily I did not have work the next morning, late afternoon because I was not in perfect condition.
The best gift, as my brother pointed out to me, I did Juventus beat Inter on Sunday night. I know it's probably the only satisfaction we'll have this year, given the many shortcomings of my team, but it's better than nothing.
How "real" gift, I had considered buying an electric guitar that sold a guy here close to home, but then I decided to give up, even if I find an apartment because I will take money for rent and other to furnish it.


In today's post, we talk about a curiosity about the Austrian people: the titles.
"securities" means all those abbreviations that may precede the name like Mr., Mr., Dr. ....
In Italy are certainly used a lot, but here are crazy!
The first funny thing is that the title "Mr." is acquired finished high school in technical, such as accounting. Several characters in "questionable" do not hesitate to write on business cards, plaques and even identification documents or the like. A graduate, however, can boast of many titles as "Mr. Bak," "Dipl Ing", "May", up to antics such as "Dr. Med Univ et Scient. Med. From some talks with Austrian friends I made in this regard, it seems that the people of a certain age have great respect for those who performed such securities, and in some cases even receive favorable treatment from the train inspectors, police, employees municipal.
Imagine if we are interested in something if a policeman is a graduate in Political Science or Economics. But the best is yet to come: If a woman with a middle school is lucky enough to marry one of these mega-style doctors Fantozzi, automatically acquires the title! So, can claim to be called doctor or something. It is not a lie, I guarantee. Then, in addition to academic qualifications, there are others that are acquired with the seniority and, of course, there are also people who are proud of them. I am not here to make examples, but if you want to get an idea, there is an entire section of the website of the Austrian government that deals with this ( http://www.help.gv.at/Content.Node/173 / Seite.1730000.html ). I was also told that there are whole books on the market that deal with the topic, but I do not think we'll lose on so long. Maybe I will try to marry a girl with more possible titles, so I could afford a ticket to luxury touring.

Finally, I want to signal the opening of a new restaurant in center, run by an Italian friend: Vinothek Lerch .
In reality it is a reopening, as the club has existed for many years, but it was closed for some time. It can be reached by passing under an arch that 'one of the pedestrian streets of the center. The location is very nice, built inside an old building with vaulted ceilings and wooden floors. The wine list is respectable and the restaurant also offers several hot and cold dishes, among which the excellent ham (the current operator has been for years the head of a Prosciutteria always here in the center, so I understand the sector). So far we have gone only 3-4 times for a drink, but soon I will give a good meal. The restaurant also features a beautiful courtyard, which in summer would be spectacular. Take a look at the panoramic pictures on the site, to get an idea.

Il Sottoscritto Consigliere, pur nella consapevolezza della situazione di grave difficoltà per gli Enti locali causata dalla crisi economica e dai vincoli di finanza locale imposti ai Comuni dalle autorità nazionali in chiave neo-centralista, nella convinzione che spese e investimenti per l'arredo urbano e il decoro delle città, come dimostrato negli ultimi anni dai lavori di riqualificazione nel centro storico, possano essere produttive e generatori di ulteriore valore per la qualità della vita delle città, well as a symbol of the cities themselves and their identifying characteristics, at the request of several citizens,
asks the council to know:
• To what extent are the programs of development, qualification and rationalization by the administration of urban

HOSPITAL SERVICE DISTRICT AND WILL NOT BE DEPLETED: WORD OF THE RESPONSIBLE INSTITUTIONAL HEALTH 'MODENESE. WELL, WAIT FOR THE FACTS

Grazie anche al Vescovo della Diocesi di Carpi e alla stilista Anna Molinari che con le loro prese di posizione inusuali dei giorni scorsi hanno detto chiaramente che gli ospedali dell’area nord della Provincia di Modena, cioè Carpi e Mirandola, non devono essere penalizzati e svuotati di competenze, energie umane e finanziarie, rispetto ad altri distretti, perché le nostre comunità ne hanno bisogno, in pochi giorni c’è stata una grande accelerazione in fatto di dichiarazioni pubbliche e solenni promises. We, too, City Council, which also Carpi these concerns we have expressed on several occasions, also Council, now we feel less alone. Statements of Pighi Sabattini and published in the press in recent days after the statement by the Bishop, they make me very happy and I see that have created more positions of Mayor Campedelli who reiterated the goal for our community. Sabattini and Pighi right that should be concerned that food competition between areas that nobody expects. Words were very clear which, and the time of approval of the new local plan implementation are very close, will have to follow specific facts that I have no reason to believe that there will be. Even so, if it was just reassuring statements to the facade, I realize it all because, for many or as few as they are, eyes to see and expertise to understand, we do not lack. So we are waiting with confidence. Without prejudice and with great care.

Only One Copy Of Diablo Ii May Run At A Time

St. Veit

Today, just to kill time and take the day off, I went with a friend for a ride in St. Veit an der Glan, a village about twenty miles north of Klagenfurt.
The center is quite beautiful, with many shops, bars and restaurants, gathered around a square the size very generous. Nearby you can see parts of the ancient walls, which are combined in an atypical with modern galleries Glass (cit: "Enjoy a successful combination of contrasts between the ancient and massive city walls and graceful galleries and diaphanous glass, between old town and modern architecture").
The town is only 13,000, far less than I expected given the number of local shops, the traffic near the center, some buildings are very elegant (probably inherited from the days when it was St.Veit capital of Carinthia, until 1518) and the presence of a McDonald's (tell me in town so small that you find one in Italy).
We arrived around 11:00, after a quick breakfast of milk and coffee and made kraphen the street, and a quick visit a sports shop to see if there was anything interesting on sale. After a short walk to the center, which had as its first end the search for a restaurant for lunch, we settled down in a bar for a drink and then make a clumsy attempt at a restaurant-wine of a certain prestige (incoming c ' were photos of the owner along with Haider and other "powerful" local) is located in a bastion ( http://www.latorre.at/ ), we folded up a more honest and safe restaurant that we had made a good impression. This impression is confirmed by the good quality (and quantity) of the mixed grill for which we opted. After lunch we made two more steps to give Fuchspalast look at: what some guides call a "hotel art." I was convinced it was designed by F. Hundertwasser, architect definitely outside the box, on which long ago I did a search, intrigued by his works, instead named after its designer, this prof. Ernst Fuchs. Overall, I liked St.Veit enough, and I think we'll be back in the spring or summer to see what the weather is fine.
Next, place some photos to give you an idea.
To begin, an overview of the center.

These galleries with glass cover (St.Veit the longest in Austria)
