T.J. HOOKER sigla originale italiana del telefilm

Something supernatural, on the brink of the inexplicable.
The absurd chases of TJ Hooker, flaunting every physical, biological, and metabolic law.
How this man, in a state of pre-obesity, managed to keep up with twenty-something criminals for half an episode remains a mystery that always left me breathless, fearing that poor William would have a heart attack.
And don’t tell me it’s fiction; this man theoretically couldn’t run even 100 meters without collapsing!

A Putignano sfilano i mostri: è il Carnevale più lungo d'Europa - Repubblica Tv - la Repubblica.it
In Venice, they call it pantegana; we debesian scientists might refer to it as the rattus rattus of the sewers (?) or norvegicus. I once greeted one that had settled into a corner, before the San Stae bridge, watching the people pass by, curious, taking a breath of fresh air... who knows. Since that time, they haven't scared me or grossed me out anymore; after all, they are clean animals. If they have to live in mud and among rubbish, it's because of their history, which has placed them second among mammals; in the top spot, we humans reside.

Montreal Biosphère | OpenBuildings
The geodesic dome is the only man-made structure that becomes proportionally stronger as its size increases.
Montreal, Biosphère (Canada). A geodesic dome is a hemispherical structure made up of a network of beams lying on great circles (geodesics). The geodesics intersect to form triangular elements that lie approximately on the surface of a sphere; the triangles are all very similar to each other, and being rigid, they ensure local robustness, while the geodesics formed by their edges distribute local stresses across the entire structure.

WHY DO CATS PAINT?
I was told that domesticating cats is very difficult. It's not true. My cat domesticated me in a couple of days.
William Harvey Dana
The artistic talents of cats have been known for thousands of years. Even in ancient times, cats were considered repositories of aesthetic and spiritual meanings.
Archaeological excavations along the banks of the Nile have unearthed Egyptian papyri depicting cats with their front paws resting on a wall, engaged in painting. Probably, due to their ability to stand up and make marks with colors, cats were regarded as intermediaries with the divine, thus bearers of aesthetic and spiritual significance.
In Egypt, the bodies of mummified cats have been found with precious amulets hanging around their necks, and, in the urns where they were placed, the extraordinary presence of rolls of papyrus depicting painted tracks made by their little paws.
In many other periods of human history, numerous drawings can be found representing artist-cats engaged in painting. In a Bestiary from around 950 AD, preserved at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, there is an illustration that showcases feline spiritual power with the presence of two cats inside an alchemist's laboratory. In front of an easel, one of the cats dips its paws in color and then paints astrological signs on the canvas.
In 1978, H. Busch and B. Silver began to take an interest in the phenomenon of painting cats, trying to understand the reasons that lead cats to use colors and trace geometric signs in dust or sand with their paws.
Part of the material was published in 1994 in the book entitled Why Cats Paint, which presents the research from several American and British universities on the subject, to determine whether the behavior of artist-cats is driven by the instinct to mark territory or if it can be said to reflect their aesthetic sense. Regardless, some paintings created by these little felines truly leave one speechless.

Segno zodiacale capricorno - La Voce delle Stelle
Dear scie-men&woman-ziati, I certainly don't rely on astrology to establish the guidelines for my own and others' characters, of course not! However, what slightly annoys me is that even in these hypothetical foolish astral complexities, there is a ranking between who is more gifted and who is less (naturally, I'm not talking about peas, keep calm and remain cool-headed!). I mean in defining the signs, why is Capricorn like this? Who decided that we are primarily governed by Saturn and Mercury and, to a lesser extent, by Venus - who just happened to be passing by and stopped to take a look -?
In short, not even Jesus Christ had an easy life being born on December 25 in the first decade; imagine those born in the third! Anyway, Happy Birthday to everyone.

The cybernetic penis on the cover of Brain Salad Surgery
For anyone who attended an Art High School or an Academy of Fine Arts, knowing Emerson, Lake & Palmer was essential, both for the band's choice of pieces often inspired by classical or pictorial compositions, and for the covers, commissioned from artists of the caliber of Dalí or Giger. The project with Salvador Dalí did not go well due to the high cost demanded by the Spanish artist; after all, it was well-known that Dalí liked to be paid very well, indeed, with a pun to mock him, the surrealist poet André Breton had nicknamed him Avida Dollars.
Brain Salad Surgery, or 'Insalata di cervello chirurgico,' was undoubtedly a successful LP for Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It was during a brief tour in Switzerland that the trio of British artists met H.R. Giger in Zurich. The artist invited them to his home, which he had transformed into a sort of cyberpunk cathedral avant la lettre. The band was fascinated by the place and asked Giger to design the artwork for the album they were working on. The artist created a cover consisting of two panels to be overlaid; in the first, there was an industrial mechanism integrated with a skull, and just below, a circular empty space from which part of a woman's face was visible. Lifting the first panel, the face appeared in its entirety, showing deep scars and hair that seem a precursor to what would become Giger's most famous creation: Alien. What many don’t know is that just below the woman's chin was drawn a gigantic penis that, despite the objections of EL&P during the final selection phase, was partially hidden due to the difficulties encountered in publishing the cover. What a shame. A few years ago, I found in a book – which I no longer have – the drawings of the original cover. Honestly, I don’t understand how a 'cybernetic penis' could have caused such a scandal. Probably the Anglo-Saxon market is very puritanical, and I know for sure that in some American states, images of Greek and Italian art are not published due to the presence of nude bodies.

The cleaning of paintings with saliva
Cleaning old paintings is not difficult in most cases. You just need to follow a few simple rules. However, be careful because it’s not always that straightforward.
Have you ever heard of certain magic recipes for cleaning paintings involving milk, raw sliced potatoes, onions, or other oddities? Well, forget them. Each of these materials would leave undesirable residues on the painting. A similarly empirical, but scientifically more accurate system, consists, according to restorer Helmut Ruhemann, author of the book “The Cleaning of Paintings,” in the use of saliva.
This does not mean licking the entire painting, clarifies Paul Frederick in his manual “The Framer’s Answer Book”; cleaning huge paintings, such as Rembrandt's “The Night Watch,” would require years of work! Instead, the saliva should be collected in a container (don’t hesitate to enlist the help of family and colleagues: a spit doesn’t cost anything) and then applied with a brush to the painting. The alternative is to spit directly onto the canvas and then spread the saliva with a brush or a cotton ball. But probably both Ruhemann and Frederick enjoy the paradox and provocation. We will proceed with more orthodox and more hygienic methods, for example...
To be continued in the next episode.
