well, you can see I'm not an expert with computers... I don't know why the photos are in the middle, but I hope you understand the text...

Greetings from Trento

Hi everybody,

I promised to write some (or, at least something) in the blog, so maybe it's time to do it...

I usually don't have very interesting things to tell, at least aboth my PhD, but this week I have arrived Trento to do an stage in Euricse, an I can say this is a wonderful place to work. SOme of you were here in september in the summer school (at least Millàn...), so you know how beautiful the place is (and how wonderful the "cibo" is), and I imagine you have found the people ho works here, always ready to help you, and very good researchers. The activity of Euricse seems to increase constantly, with summer schools, publications, seminars, leading international research projects... so I'm really glad to have the opportunity to work in such active place and of such quality for some weeks. I really recomend you to "dive" in Eurisce's web.

I think I also owe you something....















































































And, by the way, some news and events that could be interesting for you... (I don't know if they are already in the blog...)

- A CIRIEC Spain study on social economy in Spain (of 2008), recently presented

Reading Time with Picakled Olives (1) [Asaf]

New on my bookshelf
I just came back from the post office to collect my recent on-line book purchase. It seems that winter in Israel refuse to visit. Meanwhile, the olive trees give their fruits as if the first rains, we all waiting for, are already here. So side by side on my bookshelf rests newly printed books next to a freshly pickled olives from my parents home garden in the Lower-Galilee.


I wonder whats new on your bookshelves this time of year.

(1)The idea for the title of this post is from this wonderful song by Regina Spector.
