On October 19-21 at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, took place the exhibition “Berkel 1898-2018 – A Slice Odyssey” to celebrate the 120° anniversary of the brand that created the legendary “Red Flywheel Slicer”.

Wilhelmus Van Berkel, a butcher with a passion for engineering, on October 12^th, 1898 in Rotterdam created the first mechanical slicer in history. Berkel, which has become a masterpiece of precision, craftsmanship and design, boasts hundreds of admirers and collectors all over the world.

The exhibition was also an opportunity to review the history of the last century through the “Volano Rossa” that does not endure the changes of time, always following them faithful to itself: avant-garde yesterday, vintage today. Protagonist of this journey is the B114 Volano, the iconic slicer that identifies the Berkel style: refined vintage design, mechanical precision, excellent craftsmanship. Twelve decades were thus told by six flywheels B114 interpreted by an artist as real works of art: unique pieces decorated by hand that evoke every twenty years through colors, symbols, iconic images, graphic motifs.

Over the years the decorations, the dimensions of the blades or some other details have alternated, but the structure and the functioning are and will remain eternal.

Il Dipartimento di Stato Americano ha recentemente pubblicato le istruzioni per il programma Diversity Visa Lottery 2020 (DV Lottery 2020).

Tale annuncio è apparso alquanto inaspettato dal momento che lo scorso novembre il presidente Trump aveva dichiarato di voler eliminare il programma.

Non rimane che approfittare di questa opportunità, che potrebbe essere l’ultima!

Il programma DV Lottery offre 50.000 visti di immigrazione che consentono a individui provenienti da paesi con tassi di immigrazione negli Stati Uniti storicamente bassi di acquisire lo status di residenza permanente, attraverso l’ottenimento della nota Green Card, con conseguente possibilità di vivere e lavorare senza restrizioni di tempo e di luogo all’interno degli U.S.A.

Il programma DV-2020 ha aperto i battenti ieri, 3 ottobre 2018, e chiuderà a mezzogiorno (EDT) del 6 novembre 2018, concedendo, come di consueto, un periodo di circa un mese per la presentazione delle domande. I candidati sono tuttavia incoraggiati ad applicare il più presto possibile presentando la propria domanda in formato elettronico attraverso la pagina ufficiale del Dipartimento di Stato (https://www.dvlottery.state.gov). Rammentiamo che questa è l’unica via ufficiale per partecipare al programma.

Il programma riceve un enorme volume di candidati e una forte domanda può causare ritardi e/o interruzioni nel sito web. Ogni candidato può presentare domanda solo una volta; le persone con più di una domanda saranno automaticamente squalificate.

Dopo la chiusura della finestra di presentazione delle domande, il Dipartimento di Stato selezionerà i candidati attraverso un sistema di lotteria informatizzata.

I candidati potranno verificare l’esito della propria domanda on-line a partire dal 7 Maggio 2019 e fino al 30 Settembre 2019.

Il governo non cominicherà l’esito della lotteria per posta, e-mail o in altro modo. Pertanto, è imperativo che i candidati stampino e conservino il numero di conferma personale generato al momento di invio della domanda al fine di poterne controllare l’esito on-line.

Requisiti di idoneità:

1. Il richiedente o il suo coniuge devono essere nati in un paese ammissibile (vedere elenco di seguito per paesi non ammissibili) o, in alternativa, i genitori del richiedente devono essere nati in un paese ammissibile con nessuno dei due genitori residente in un paese non ammissibile al momento della nascita del richiedente.

2. Il richiedente deve possedere almeno un diploma di scuola superiore (o il suo equivalente) o avere accumulato due anni di esperienza lavorativa negli ultimi cinque anni in determinati ambiti di occupazione definiti dal Dipartimento di Stato.

Chi non è idoneo?

A causa del numero di immigrati negli ultimi cinque anni, i nativi dei paesi di seguito elencati non possono presentare domanda:

Bangladesh, Brasile, Canada, Cina (nato in terraferma), Colombia, Repubblica Dominicana, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Giamaica, Messico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Perù, Filippine, Corea del Sud, Regno Unito (ad eccezione dell’Irlanda del Nord) e i suoi territori dipendenti e il Vietnam.
