（中外新闻社 中外新闻网记者 韦燕 吴荣林 刘暖尧）2023年10月18日上午，国家主席习近平在人民大会堂出席第三届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛开幕式并发表题为《建设开放包容、互联互通、共同发展的世界》的主旨演讲。习近平宣布中国支持高质量共建“一带一路”的八项行动，强调中方愿同各方深化“一带一路”合作伙伴关系，推动共建“一带一路”进入高质量发展的新阶段，为实现世界各国的现代化作出不懈努力。
On the morning of October 18th, 2023, President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech titled “Building an Open, Inclusive and Interconnected World For Common Development”. President Xi's announcement of the eight major steps China will take to deepen the "Belt and Road" partnership with all parties, promote the construction of the "Belt and Road" into a new stage of high-quality development, and make unremitting efforts to realize the modernization of all countries in the world.
Foreign heads of State and Government, heads of international organizations and other international dignitaries attending the Forum are arriving one after another. On the big screens on both sides of the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People, the “Belt and Road” projects has seen a great deal of fruitful results in the past decade.
President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech titled “Building an Open, Inclusive and Interconnected World For Common Development”.
Xi Jinping pointed out that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) I proposed. The BRI, drawing inspiration from the ancient Silk Road and focusing on enhancing connectivity, aims to enhance policy, infrastructure, trade, financial and people-to-people connectivity, inject new impetus into the global economy, create new opportunities for global development, and build a new platform for international economic cooperation.
Over these 10 years, we have stayed committed to this founding mission. Thanks to our joint efforts, Belt and Road international cooperation has gotten off the ground, grown rapidly and produced fruitful outcomes. Belt and Road cooperation has extended from the Eurasian continent to Africa and Latin America. More than 150 countries and over 30 international organizations have signed Belt and Road cooperation documents. We have held two sessions of the BRF before, and have established over 20 specialized multilateral cooperation platforms under the BRI. Belt and Road cooperation has progressed from “sketching the outline” to “filling in the details”, and blueprints have been turned into real projects. A large number of signature projects and “small yet smart” people-centered programs have been launched. Over these 10 years, we have endeavored to build a global network of connectivity consisting of economic corridors, international transportation routes and information highway as well as railways, roads, airports, ports, pipelines and power grids. Covering the land, the ocean, the sky and the Internet, this network has boosted the flow of goods, capital, technologies and human resources among countries involved and injected fresh vitality into the millennia-old Silk Road in the new era. Belt and Road cooperation is based on the principle of “planning together, building together, and benefiting together.” It transcends differences between civilizations, cultures, social systems, and stages of development. It has opened up a new path for exchanges among countries, and established a new framework for international cooperation. Indeed, the BRI represents humanity’s joint pursuit of development for all.
Xi also mentioned that our achievements in the past decade are truly remarkable, and there is so much we can draw from them. We have learned that humankind is a community with a shared future. China can only do well when the world is doing well. When China does well, the world will get even better. Through Belt and Road cooperation, China is opening its door even wider to the world, with its inland regions turning from “fullbacks” into “forwards,” and coastal regions scaling new heights in their opening-up. China’s market has become even more closely integrated with the global market. China has become a main trading partner of more than 140 countries and territories and a primary source of investment for more countries. Both Chinese investment overseas and foreign investment in China have boosted friendship, cooperation, confidence and hope. We have learned that win-win cooperation is the sure way to success in launching major initiatives that benefit all. When countries embrace cooperation and act in concert, a deep chasm can be turned into a thoroughfare, land-locked countries can become land-linked, and a place of underdevelopment can be transformed into a land of prosperity. Countries taking the lead in economic development should give a hand to their partners who are yet to catch up. We should all treat each other as friends and partners, respect and support each other, and help each other succeed. As the saying goes, when you give roses to others, their fragrance lingers on your hand. In other words, helping others is also helping oneself. Viewing others’ development as a threat or taking economic interdependence as a risk will not make one’s own life better or speed up one’s development. What has been achieved in the past 10 years demonstrates that Belt and Road cooperation is on the right side of history. It represents the advancing of our times, and it is the right path forward. We need to remain clear-eyed and undisturbed in a volatile world, and we need to be keenly aware of our responsibility for history, for the people and for the world. We should jointly address various global risks and challenges, and deliver a bright future of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit for future generations.
Xi said that China is endeavoring to build itself into a stronger country and rejuvenate the Chinese nation on all fronts by pursuing Chinese modernization. The modernization we are pursuing is not for China alone, but for all developing countries through our joint efforts. Global modernization should be pursued to enhance peaceful development and mutually beneficial cooperation and bring prosperity to all. On our way forward, we will encounter both headwinds and tailwinds. We need to stay focused on our goal, take results-oriented actions, persevere, and keep moving forward until our goal is met. China will work with all parties involved to deepen Belt and Road partnerships of cooperation, usher this cooperation into a new stage of high-quality development, and make relentless efforts to achieve modernization for all countries.
Xi announced eight major steps China will take to support our joint pursuit of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation:
First, building a multidimensional Belt and Road connectivity network. China will speed up high-quality development of the China-Europe Railway Express, participate in the trans-Caspian international transportation corridor, host the China-Europe Railway Express Cooperation Forum, and make joint efforts to build a new logistics corridor across the Eurasian continent linked by direct railway and road transportation. We will vigorously integrate ports, shipping and trading services under the “Silk Road Maritime,” and accelerate the building of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Air Silk Road.
Second, supporting an open world economy. China will establish pilot zones for Silk Road e-commerce cooperation, enter into free trade agreements and investment protection treaties with more countries. We will remove all restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector. In light of international high-standard economic and trade rules, we will further advance high-standard opening up in cross-border service trade and investment, expand market access for digital and other products, and deepen reform in areas including the state-owned enterprises, digital economy, intellectual property and government procurement. China will hold the Global Digital Trade Expo annually.
Third, carrying out practical cooperation. China will promote both signature projects and “small yet smart” livelihood programs. The China Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of China will each set up a RMB 350 billion financing window. China will carry out 1,000 small-scale livelihood assistance projects, and enhance vocational education cooperation through Luban Workshops and other initiatives. We will also step up joint efforts to ensure the safety of BRI projects and personnel.
Fourth, promoting green development. China will continue to deepen cooperation in areas such as green infrastructure, green energy and green transportation, and step up support for the BRI International Green Development Coalition. China will continue to hold the BRI Green Innovation Conference, and establish dialogue and exchange mechanisms for the solar industry and a network of experts on green and low-carbon development. China will implement the Green Investment Principles for the Belt and Road, and provide 100,000 training opportunities for partner countries by 2030.
Fifth, advancing scientific and technological innovation. China will continue to implement the Belt and Road Science, Technology and Innovation Cooperation Action Plan, hold the first Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange, increase the number of joint laboratories built with other parties to 100 in the next five years, and support young scientists from other countries to work on short-term programs in China. At this Forum, China will put forward the Global Initiative for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Governance. We stand ready to increase exchanges and dialogue with other countries and jointly promote the sound, orderly and secure AI development in the world.
Sixth, supporting people-to-people exchanges. China will host the Liangzhu Forum to enhance dialogue on civilizations with BRI partner countries. In addition to the Silk Road International League of Theaters, the Silk Road International Arts Festival, the International Alliance of Museums of the Silk Road, the Silk Road International Alliance of Art Museums, and the Silk Road International Library Alliance that have been set up, China has also launched the International Tourism Alliance of Silk Road Cities. And we will continue with the Chinese government scholarship Silk Road Program.
Seventh, promoting integrity-based Belt and Road cooperation. Together with its cooperation partners, China will release the Achievements and Prospects of Belt and Road Integrity Building and the High-Level Principles on Belt and Road Integrity Building, and establish the Integrity and Compliance Evaluation System for Companies Involved in Belt and Road Cooperation. We will also work with international organizations to carry out research and training on promoting integrity in Belt and Road cooperation.
Eighth, strengthening institutional building for international Belt and Road cooperation. China will work with its BRI partner countries to strengthen the building of multilateral cooperation platforms covering energy, taxation, finance, green development, disaster reduction, anti-corruption, think tank, media, culture and other fields. China will continue to host the BRF and establish a secretariat for the Forum.
Xi finally pointed out that Belt and Road cooperation was proposed by China, but its benefits and opportunities are for the world to share. Let us meet the expectations of the people, assume responsibilities entrusted on us by history, closely follow the trend of the times, and press ahead with energy and enterprise. Let us deepen Belt and Road international cooperation, and bring Belt and Road cooperation to a new stage of higher-quality and higher-level development. Let us advance modernization of all countries, build an open, inclusive and interconnected world for common development, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind!

Nicki Minaj is set to drop her fourth studio album “Queen” this month while her mother Carol Maraj is simultaneously preparing to share ‘shocking news’ about her sons molestation trial in a tell-all interview.
Seemingly out-of-the-blue since her previous tweet was on April 26, Maraj shared with her Twitter followers that ‘Hood Report with Charles Fisher & the “Fitness Sheriff” would air an exclusive interview where she would reveal information from her son’s trial that the courts kept from the public.
Maraj’s son and Nicki Minaj’s, 38-year-old brother Jelani Maraj was found guilty last year of predatory sexual assault on a child younger than 13 years old. According to Newsday, prosecutors alleged that Maraj started abusing the victim when she was 11 years old, and raped her repeatedly between April and November 2015 while her mother was working. The girl, who is now 14 years old, testified that Maraj called her “his puppet” and said she had “no say” in the things that were being done to her. She testified that if she refused his advances—he physically attacked her.
She also told the jury Maraj warned her to keep the abuse a secret.
His lawyers countered that the girl’s mother beat her into complying with the fraudulent criminal claims, as part of an attempt to extort Maraj’s superstar singer os $25 million. Carol Maraj, also testified, saying that the mother of the victim once told her that “It’s gonna take lots of money to get out of this one.” As if all of these allegations and testifying weren’t bizarre enough, the victim’s brother also got involved.
The girl’s brother who is 10 years old, testified that he saw Maraj’s “private parts” touching his sister after he walked in on the two of them in 2015 partially clothed. The boy said Maraj told him to stay silent or he would be taken from his mother.

The dramatic events in Ukraine of the past weeks have shocked the world, prompting civil, political, economic, and legal action, unprecedented in its scale and scope. Financial sanctions aimed at isolating Russia from the financial system have been at the epicentre of the global response. With the high hopes and tremendous economic and political costs attached to these sanctions, their effectiveness is of extreme importance. It is in this context that the new wave of calls for tightening regulation of crypto markets has emerged.
The war has shed new light on costs and benefits of the wider use of private digital currencies – cryptocurrencies – transacting in which to date remains largely unregulated in most jurisdictions.
On one hand, the current crisis has illuminated the efficiency of crypto as a fast and cheap means of cross-border payment for making donations and raising funds in times of emergency. It has also shown the benefits of cryptocurrencies for preserving privacy of the transacting parties at risk of persecution. Moreover, as already reported earlier in case of the Turkish lira meltdown, in the situation of high volatility of a fiat currency people appear to opt for cryptocurrencies as useful instruments for storing value.
On the other hand, the drastic rise in cryptocurrency transactions made apparent the cyber security threat posed to individual (non-professional) users. At macro level, the environmental harm cause by over-reliance on crypto mining as a competitive advantage as well as the capacity of governments and individuals to avoid financial sanctions has underlined the costs associated with these alternative means of payment. The latter aspect – the ‘crypto leak’ – has provided the impetus for calls for more regulation of the industry.
From the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, and the IMF, to the European Commission and the ECB, calls for action and regulatory initiatives have been debated over the past years and months. The erupted war gave this debate a new spin with the calls to ‘regulate crypto’ to ensure the effectiveness of individual sanctions imposed on Putin and the allies of his regime. With Russia known as one of the global centres for crypto ‘mining’, adoption, and use of cryptocurrencies, it has been considered possible that crypto transfers could be used to evade sanctions. This has prompted the calls to introduce i) bans on transactions that involve Russian crypto wallet addresses, or ii) blocking of all crypto wallet addresses linked to Russian users. As it stands, major crypto exchanges object to a ‘blanket ban’ of Russian users citing the libertarian ideals behind cryptocurrencies.
Law and blockchain scholars have identified several modes of regulation that could be used by governments to regulate the use of blockchain-based systems, including Bitcoin and other digital currencies. The trade-offs of different regulatory options have been aptly discussed by De Filippi and Wright, who distinguish between regulating end users (e.g. de-anonymisation or vicarious liability), ‘transportation layers’ (e.g. internet service providers); information intermediaries (e.g. social networks), blockchain-specific intermediaries (e.g. wallet providers and exchanges), miners and transaction processors (e.g. regulating ‘mining pools’), code and architecture (e.g. liability for code developers) and hardware manufacturers.
In the last days, the EU leaders have been calling for a faster adoption of its regulatory framework – regulation of markets in crypto-assets (MiCA) – aimed at regulating ‘crypto-asset service providers’, while in the US the calls have been addressed to specific industry players – crypto exchange service providers. On both sides of the ocean the approach followed by regulators is that of regulating crypto-specific intermediaries. The main trade-off of this approach cited in academic literature is its potential to hinder innovation. More seems to be at stake in the current circumstances: while targeting individual wallets or wallets belonging to specific groups of people may define the future development of an entire industry, lack of action or a misaligned channel for that action risks jeopardising the effectiveness of the costly sanctions’ regime. Even if the ‘crypto leak’ is indeed only of minor importance, as some claim, the emerged regulatory momentum underlines the need for but also the challenges of a coordinated global action vis-à-vis crypto markets.

Commentary: Bush's Tricky High-Wire Act
For weeks, the new Bush Administration has pursued a tough rhetorical line against China, publicly jabbing Beijing for suppressing domestic dissent, selling advanced technology to Iraq, and threatening Taiwan. All the while, Chinese and U.S. negotiators intent on finalizing China's entry into the World Trade Organization struggled to narrow their remaining differences, hoping to pave the way for an April powwow that would seal China's entry into the elite club of trading nations.
This two-layered policy of pursuing a harder line against China's authoritarian regime while knitting stronger trade ties is, to put it mildly, a tricky business. What's still unclear is whether a domestically focused George W. Bush and his crew of recycled cold warriors have what it takes to make it work.
An early test has been provided by the freak collision between a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter over the South China Sea. Bush's advisers first tried quiet diplomacy to win the U.S. flight crew's freedom. Only after Beijing rebuffed the overtures did a subdued Bush weigh in personally--dramatically upping the stakes. Publicly, the approach has been carefully modulated, despite growing anger inside the Administration. "The longer this drags out, the higher our concern and frustration level," says a senior U.S. official.
So what's the lesson of the China crunch? Assuming that Beijing's rulers relent after they milk the episode for domestic political impact, it's this: Despite the President's desire to stand tall in the face of a crisis, there may be limits on how many times the Bushies can poke a sharp stick at China, all the while professing that improved economic ties are divorced from a deteriorating political climate.
As a result, U.S.-Chinese relations are at low ebb. Jiang Zemin's government is livid over Administration plans to speed deployment of an antimissile shield and to beef up Taiwan's defenses. Their anger--and growing nationalist clamor--helped forge China's hard-line response to the spy-plane saga. More problems are on the way. As an anti-China backlash builds in the U.S., labor and human-rights activists might unite with GOP superhawks and social conservatives in a new coalition of convenience. Their goal is to derail China's normal-trade-relations status, up for renewal in June. Even if Bush invests his limited political capital to fend off that challenge, conservatives will press him to sell Taiwan destroyers equipped with advanced Aegis radar. Beijing bluntly warns that could spark a military response. The climate "is going to get worse before it gets better," predicts Robert A. Manning, director of Asia studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
This nosedive in relations is occurring before Bush has his Asia hands in place and fleshes out his still-sketchy blueprint for the region. The White House only sent the nomination of James A. Kelly as Assistant Secretary of State for Asia to the Senate on Apr. 3, in the midst of the spy-plane flap. The Administration is loaded with Asia experts such as Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz, and National Security Council Senior Director for Asian Affairs Torkel L. Patterson, but few real China hands. Stephen J. Yates, a Heritage Foundation China expert, isn't slated to join Dick Cheney's staff until Apr. 6. Many aides, including Armitage, Kelly, Patterson, and Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, are former military men.
NO-FAULT EXIT? The group is thin and by no means united ideologically. During the campaign, hard-line advisers such as Wolfowitz, Armitage, and Lewis Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, signed a letter calling for an explicit statement that the U.S. would come to Taiwan's defense if China attacked. But soon after the missive was penned, Bush--prompted by National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice--disowned the position, drawing disapproving clucks from the Republican right wing. But in the current dustup, the troops seemed to be lined up as the White House sought an end to the crisis. And expected battles between Defense and State may be muted now that Armitage, who is close to Wolfowitz, is at the State Department.
Not only has the Administration chosen to slowly ratchet up the President's demands for an end to the crisis, but it has shown a willingness to be flexible in its response as new details of the accident emerge. Powell's first reaction was to insist the U.S. had nothing to apologize for. But with reports that the U.S. aircraft may have been closer to the mainland than initially reported, Powell on Apr. 4 called the bump in the sky "a tragic accident" rather than a provocation.
This measured reaction is welcome news to U.S. exporters, who expect the pro-trade Bush to throw open the doors to the lucrative China market. "My one criticism of Bush so far is his inflexibility," sighs one outside Presidential adviser with strong business ties. "Ultimately, the aim of policy is to let our stuff into China. Bush could apologize [for the death of the Chinese pilot], say this was no one's fault, and get on with it."
A no-fault exit from the crisis would obviously please U.S. multinationals. And it has allure for the Bush team. Because at bottom, the White House crew still believes it can wield a hard-edged policy against Beijing without jeopardizing trade relations. To Bush and his advisers, free trade has the air of a religion, convinced as they are that expanding commerce will slowly infect China's culture with the germ of freedom.
Yet even as the Administration waits for the market to work its magic, Bush's military planners believe that U.S. defense strategy should focus primarily on Asia rather than Europe as the next potential battle theater. That means the White House wants Japan to shoulder more responsibility for regional defense. Armitage has argued for deeper military ties with Japan, including more reliance on facilities sharing and joint training exercises. He wants Tokyo to lift its prohibition on collective self-defense--a move the Japanese Diet is mulling. Japan's economic woes may gum up Armitage's plans, but he hopes Tokyo will transform its military into a more effective force, if only to give China's generals something to think about.
For China, which is intent on building its preeminence in Asia, all of this is anathema. Its goal seems to be nothing less than to replace the U.S. as the dominating force to contend with in East Asia. And given longstanding enmity between Beijing and Tokyo, a stronger Japanese military is the last thing Beijing wants to see. "They want us out of there and an unarmed, neutral Japan, but they're not going to get that," says Asian policy analyst Richard H. Solomon, president of the U.S. Institute of Peace.
So where does all that leave U.S. China policy? In the near term, relations are likely to hit bottom, then rebound as both sides step back from the brink. Bush may help ease the sting by ignoring congressional objections and backing Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympics. And China may soon realize that, at some point, matching belligerence with belligerence threatens trade ties essential to modernizing hidebound state enterprises and improving living standards. "China is dependent on the U.S. and Taiwan for continued economic prosperity," says James R. Lilley, a former U.S. ambassador to China. An eminently rational statement, to be sure. But unless the standoff ends with a graceful exit for both sides, no one knows whether reason will carry the day.

The first Italians began arriving in Boston around 1860 and were mainly from Northern Italy, especially the region around Genoa. The Genoise weren’t escaping poverty like the Southern Italians but were mostly businessmen looking for better opportunities in the New World. They first settled around North Bennet Street where there was a Portuguese Catholic church but as they prospered and their numbers increased they decided to build a church of their own. Land was purchased on Prince Street and in 1891 a downstairs church was opened. They named the church after an ascetic Franciscan priest, Saint Leonard, who came from the small town Porto Maurizio just north of Genoa along the Italian Riviera. Leonard was a great preacher and his sermons are still read.
By that time the flood of southern Italians was inundating the North End and St. Leonard’s had over 20,000 parishioners who would come from all over greater Boston for masses, weddings and baptisms. It was obvious that a new church was needed to accommodate these Southern Italians and their more exuberant liturgical customs so in the late 1880’s Fr. Taylor’s Seamen’s Bethel on the corner of North Square and Sun Court St. was purchased by the St. Mark’s Society. Local lore has it that the founder of the Pastene food company as one of the men who started the Sacred Heart Church.
The first post card shows the newly purchased Sacred Heart Church while it still had that unadorned, Protestant look. As the church population swelled with newly arriving immigrants the upstairs needed to be expanded and in the mid 1920’s a major renovation was begun. The exterior was changed to reflect the baroque French Second Empire style so familiar to them from their Southern Italian roots but what they did to the interior of the upstairs church is a fascinating and long forgotten story.
The downstairs church is similar to many other Italian churches; lots of statues and candles which are now sadly electrified. It is in the upstairs church where the North End Italians displayed their creativity and love of family. No expense was spared in decorating the upstairs church. A beautiful hand crafted marble altar was imported from Italy and an artist was hired to decorate the arched ceiling with frescoes, just like in any proper Italian church. The paintings depict Christ’s twelve apostles and the four evangelists, serious, foreboding men in flowing orthodox beards. At the feet of each apostle are two angels and this is the interesting story.
If this was a church in Italy the angels would be chubby putti , little naked boys with small wings. Here in Sacred Heart the angels look different and somehow ordinary, like the girls we would expect to see playing in North Square, and that’s exactly right because the artist who painted these frescoes used neighborhood girls as his models.
How fortunate we are that this maestro chose the quotidian instead of the baroque and left us with a wonderful memento of these North End girls born one hundred years ago. The girls appear to be young teenagers, perhaps eighth grade students from St. John’s School. At least two of the frescoes include infants, again using local children as models. The names of the artist and the models are long forgotten but the images remain frozen in time on the ceiling of Sacred Heart Church.
My maternal grandmother, nonna Colomba, told me this story many years ago. She was active in the parish and repaired many of the priest’s vestments because she knew how to sew and crochet using gold and silver metal thread. The girls and their parents would have been familiar to her from the neighborhood.
Two local men, Richard and Bennet Molinari, have taken it upon themselves to maintain Sacred Heart Church. The upstairs church is closed for much of the year but is open during the warm months. Please try to visit and observe these marvelous frescoes which are a unique part of North End History.
Nicholas Dello Russo is a lifelong North Ender and columnist. Often using vintage photographs, Nick tells the stories of growing up in the North End along with its culture and traditions. It was a time when the apartments were so small that residents were always on the streets enjoying “Life on the Corner.” Read more of Nick’s columns.

Cars running on diesel averaged 26 thousand kilometres in 2006, more than twice the distance covered by petrol cars. Diesel-powered company cars annually averaged 33 thousand kilometres. The largest average distance was covered by 1 or 2-year-old company cars weighing over 1,500 kilos, i.e. more than 41 thousand kilometres.
Average distance by type of fuel, 2006
Heavy cars cover more kilometres
Heavy privately-owned as well as company-owned cars cover more kilometres than lighter cars. Private cars whose weight exceeds 1,500 kilos annually covered nearly 21 thousand kilometres, more than two-and-a-half times the distance covered by cars weighing less than 850 kilos.


Dr. Joshua Rady works on the Permafrost Pathways project, modeling wildfire and its impacts on Arctic and boreal permafrost. In the Arctic-boreal zone, climate change is increasing the frequency and impact of wildfires. Modeling these changes helps predict how they could further alter the climate by thawing carbon rich frozen soils (permafrost).
Dr. Rady’s expertise spans forest ecology, environmental science, and ecosystem modeling. He is fascinated by the complexity of ecosystems and enjoys the challenge of understanding how these living systems function through modeling. His previous research has focused on the role of management in temperate forests under changing climate conditions.
Dr. Rady is motivated in his work to help reduce the impacts of climate change on human life as well as Earth’s ecosystems. He hopes his research will be able to inform policy and help people living in the Arctic-boreal region anticipate changes that will affect their lives and livelihoods.

Andrea Marcon conducts baroque opera at Teatro alla Scala Milano
Andrea Marcon celebrates great success at La Scala in Milan with the baroque opera "Li zite ngalera" by Leonardo Vinci.
The premiere on 4 April 2023 was broadcasted on RAI Radio 3, followed by further performances on 12, 15 and 18 April. The dernière on 21 April can be experienced live on LaScala TV.
The story takes place on Neapolitan soil: Bernardo Saddumene's irresistible verses in the local dialect have their own charm, disguises and misunderstandings make for a rousing comedy. Andrea Marcon conducts the opera orchestra on period instruments, joined by the La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, and is already highly praised by the press. The newspaper La Repubblica writes: "[...] Conductor Andrea Marcon, at the podium of a mixed instrumental ensemble, chiselled the pieces of music, highlighting their variety and character through imaginative planning of rhythm and dynamics. He pulled the strings of a concerto with amusing authority, where the voices were tasked with diluting an orchestral fabric rendered in black and white."
The cast is of Neapolitan mother tongue: Chiara Amarù, Francesca Pia Vitale, Francesca Aspromonte, Marco Filippo Romano, Raffaele Pe, Filippo Mineccia. Staging: Leo Muscato.

An outstanding pressing of the band’s 1975 release with solid Double Plus (A++) sound throughout
Both sides are open, spacious and transparent, with a huge three-dimensional soundfield and an energy level that’s off the charts
Includes EWF classics, Shining Star and, of course, That’s The Way of The World
4 1/2 stars: “Earth, Wind & Fire has delivered more than its share of excellent albums, but if a person could own only one EWF release, the logical choice would be That’s the Way of the World, which was the band’s best album as well as its best-selling. There are no dull moments on World, one of the strongest albums of the 1970s and EWF’s crowning achievement.”
An excellent copy of this funk classic! That’s The Way Of The World starts off with great music that is, apparently, very difficult to reproduce. Most copies make “Shining Star” literally sound like a cassette, and a bad one at that! No highs, no lows, harsh vocals, and no real energy. When you hear it done right, you immediately remember why you love this song – the vocals are warm and present, the bassline is groovin’, and the energy makes you wanna grab someone and dance!
The title track gives you a much better feel for how transparent this copy is — check out the subtle triangle hits. The horns and strings need to be be dynamic and textured, and on this Super Hot Stamper they certainly are.(more…)
Not having played this record in more than a decade, it’s interesting to hear this Mobile Fidelity pressing with much better equipment than was previous available to me. The first thing I noticed was the amazing transparency of the recording, no doubt the reason audiophiles have always liked it.
Next on the list, and a bit of a surprise, is the correct tonality — this record is tonally right on the money, something Mobile Fidelity rarely achieves. This MoFi was mastered by Jack Hunt, not Stan Ricker, which may explain why the top end is more correct than usual.
Third and last is George Massenburg’s approach to this recording, which, to be charitable, is not to my liking. Let’s just say he prefers a certain artificiality to his sound that does little for me.(more…)
The recording quality of many of these songs is OUT OF THIS WORLD, as good as any rock record I can think of. Although Waiting For Columbus is arguably the best sounding live rock ‘n roll album ever made, some of the tracks on this album are every bit as good or BETTER. (And the promo EP is practically in a league of its own for sound!)
Little Feat’s studio recordings rarely did justice to the band’s energy and drive. With so many live tracks, this is the album that really shows the band at their enthusiastic best. If I were going to choose one Little Feat album to own, it would be hard to argue with this one musically, and sonically the stuff here just can’t be beat — if you are lucky enough to own a copy with Hot Stampers for all four sides, no mean feat.

What is a Robotic Cluster?
Originally published 3/29/2018
Huge demand for robots, cobots, AI and Industry 4.0 is driving innovation hubs across the globe. Whether the focus is software, industrial robots, cobots, medical robots or something else - the best way to facilitate and attract talent is to huddle around academic centers and universities. Thus is born a Robotics Cluster, which is a group of entities that – formally or informally – locate in close geographical proximity. There are several Robotics Clusters popping up around the globe. Here are two examples of robotics clusters in North America and Europe:
Denmark Robotics Cluster
Born from the hometown of the articulated robotic arm company Universal Robots, Odense Robotics is in Denmark which could be thought of as “Europe’s Gateway to Robotics” – it is a fitting location for a robotics cluster. Odense was “named the No. 1 entrepreneur-friendly city in Denmark for 2015” and is home to academic centers such as University of Southern Denmark. Odense Robotics notes that it is close to 40+ robot related education programs and has other clusters, education centers, companies and financing partnerships.
It’s not surprising that the San Francisco Bay area is a hotbed of startup companies as well as research and development. Silicon Valley Robotics (SVR) is a not-for-profit coalition of robotics companies and startups launched in 2010 focuses on networking and facilitating research between different industries. Networking consists of a range of formal as informal activities from Happy Hour meetups to forums. SVR also has a job section to connect robotic and AI startups with their next employees.
The large demand for cobots, robots and robotic professionals is inspiring co-located robotics clusters to develop across the globe. As we aspire to take artificial intelligence and collaborative robotics to the next level, no one group can do this alone – making information sharing critical to technology advancement. This is what makes groups like Odense Robotics and SVR so beneficial to the cause.

The board of directors of The Second Mile, the charity founded by Jerry Sandusky, accepted the resignation of its longtime CEO yesterday. Jack Raykovitz had been CEO for 28 years. “Both Dr. Raykovitz and the board believe this is in the best interests of the organizations,” according to an announcement released this morning.
The board said it would conduct an internal investigation to assess internal policies and procedures, and make recommendations regarding its future operations, releasing its findings by the end of the year. The organization also announced it hired Lynne Abraham, a partner with Archer and Greiner, following the resignation last week of Wendell Courtney as general counsel.
Sandusky is the key figure in the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, accused by authorities of abusing as many as eight children during a 15-year period, including part of his tenure as defensive coordinator under legendary football coach Joe Paterno. He founded The Second Mile in 1977 as an organization to aid foster children.
David Woodle, the organization’s vice chairman, will be responsible for day-to-day operations. The Second Mile said it would continue to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation by the Attorney General’s office.
Although the allegations against Sandusky and the alleged incidents occurred outside Second Mile programs and events, “this does not change the fact that the alleged sexual abuse involved Second Mile program children, nor does it lessen the terrible impact of sexual abuse on its victims,” the organization said the statement.
“Over the past week the families of many participants have urged us to maintain TSM’s programs, saying they continue to believe deeply in TSM’s mission and the value if provides young people in our community. We remain committed to Second Mile children, teens and families.”
The Second Mile’s honorary board includes some big names, including Joe Paterno; Matt Millen, a former Penn State and NFL linebacker now a commentator on ESPN; former Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz, also now a commentator on ESPN; golf legend Arnold Palmer; Hall of Fame baseball player Cal Ripken, Jr.; Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid; actor Mark Wahlberg and former NFL coach Dick Vermeil.
The Second Mile’s state board has 37 members, in addition to boards for the Central, South Central and Southeast. It has three offices statewide, with revenue last year of $2.1 million, down from $3.2 million the year before and $4.1 million 2008. The organization had a $228,000 loss in net cash flow for operations, according to its annual report for 2010.
Paterno led Penn State football since 1966, building it not only into a perennial winner but an iconic brand that generated millions of dollars for the university. But he’s come under fire from some corners that he did not report allegations of child abuse to the property authorities. A graduate assistant in 2002 told him he saw Sandusky sexually assaulting a child in the locker room showers.
Sandusky, Paterno’s defensive coordinator until 1999, was arrested earlier this month on charges of alleged sexual abuse of eight boys over 15 years. Athletic Director Tim Curley and Vice President for Finance and Business Gary Schultz, who oversaw the university police force, are charged with perjury and failing to report suspected child abuse. The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office released an explosive 23-page grand jury report detailing the allegations. It includes testimony from Raykovitz that he was informed by Curley in 2002 that someone had reported being uncomfortable seeing Sandusky in the locker room shower with a youth.
An initial statement from the charity, released last week, indicates Curley told the organization that the incident was reviewed internally, with no finding of wrongdoing, and that it was never made aware of the “serious allegations” in the grand jury report.
In 2008, The Second Mile barred Sandusky from activities with children after he informed them of allegations — which he denied — made against him by an adolescent. Sandusky officially retired from the charity in September 2010 and the Attorney General’s office contacted the charity early this year.
As recently as 2008, Sandusky earned $57,000 as a director and consultant, according to the organization’s tax forms, more than half of that devoted to programming, as well as some to management and fundraising.
As we celebrate our 36th year, NPT remains dedicated to supplying breaking news, in-depth reporting, and special issue coverage to help nonprofit executives run their organizations more effectively.


Articles filed under Structural Failure from Oklahoma
A wind turbine in Kingfisher County caught fire on Saturday afternoon. At 12:46 p.m., a fire was reported in the nacelle of a wind turbine at the Kingfisher Wind project in Kingfisher County.
Two wind turbines along County Road 650 south of Helena were damaged earlier this month, though the cause of the damage still is under investigation. Bryan Garner, director of communications at NextEra Energy Resources, said in an email the turbines at the Skeleton Creek Energy Center were damaged on Aug. 11 and 12.
“I am not someone whose nerves get on edge very easily, but I didn’t want either myself or my people close to it. What I saw gave me fear,” said Wreath. “I left with many more concerns and questions than I had arrived with.” The 120-megawatt capacity project — located along the Oklahoma-Texas state line between Guymon and Hardesty — went operational in 2012 and contains 60 towers within Oklahoma. About nine towers show signs of catastrophic failure, where portions or entire blades are missing or nacelles at tower tops have burned. Dozens of other towers are locked down, either because of internal damage that can’t be observed without a detailed inspection or because of other problems that could be impacting their operations.
JOHNSTON COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (KXII) - A wind farm turbine in Johnson County caught fire, after it was struck by lighting during Friday night’s storms.
“Most failure incidents of wind turbine towers are due to a combination of factors, among which extreme wind is identified as the most common,” says a detailed study of 48 tower collapses between 2000 and 2016 soon to be published by academics from the engineering department at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
The latest incident follows the collapse in February of a GE turbine at the Casa Mesa Wind Energy Center in eastern New Mexico, which only entered commercial operation in the fourth quarter of last year. The US OEM said then that it would investigate what it believed to be “an isolated incident”.
A wind turbine at the Chisholm View wind farm near Hunter, Okla., collapsed Tuesday May 21, 2019. Enel Green Power North America, which owns the turbine, is working to determine why it fell. Access to the site was blocked for safety reasons as of Wednesday May 22, 2019.
Several residents near Weatherford caught video of a wind turbine on fire on Wednesday afternoon.
WOODWARD, Okla. — A wind turbine caught fire Tuesday morning near Woodward, Oklahoma.
The turbine appears to be part of EDP Renewables' Blue Canyon Wind facility. There were four phases to the project totalling 424 megawatts and located in Caddo, Comanche, and Kiowa Counties. The project uses a combination of Vestas and GE model wind turbines. The news report did not cite the make or model of the burned turbine. The initial turbines (phase 1) were placed in service in 2003.
We would encourage NextEra to release its finding when they determine what happened that caused the turbine blade to break. We realize they are a private company, but this is a big project that people see every day. We think the public deserves to know what the problems are.
"The turbine sits in the cornfield, but the blade broke off and flew about 100 yards north of the turbine ," recalls Carpenter. "It flattened the corn, destroyed it." Since the May 31 incident, the turbine's blade has been replaced by General Electric and it has resumed to normal operations.
No details have been released yet as to what caused a wind turbine to collapse Monday afternoon east of Hooker, Okla.
The broken blade sits about 100 yards behind the wind turbine, crushing all of the corn that surrounds it. The cornfield belongs to Ken Carpenter, who declined to comment. Cleaning up the blade and wind turbine could take anywhere from a couple of weeks to two months, and will involve bringing a large crane near the field to take the blade off, McIntyre said.

Flat Rock Playhouse to Stage CRIMES OF THE HEART, 8/20-9/6
The Flat Rock Playhouse 2015 season will continue with the Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award winning Crimes of the Heart, which will run from August 20th through September 6th at the Playhouse Downtown in Historic Downtown Hendersonville.
This hilariously heartfelt play written by renowned American playwright Beth Henley follows the story of three estranged sisters whose troubles and turmoil have brought them back together in a whirlwind of absurdly endearing circumstance. Meg, Babe and Lenny, the Magrath sisters, just your typical southern sisters, reconvene in their hometown of Hazlehurst, Mississippi at the home of their Old Grandaddy. Oh, but this is not your typical family reunion. Babe has just shot her abusive husband, and their mother has hung herself...and the beloved family cat. What unfolds is a beautifully rendered, often heartbreaking, often hilarious story of love, compassion and sisterhood. Offered for the first time ever on the Flat Rock Playhouse stage, Crimes of the Heart promises to be a huge hit that you will not want to miss.
Crimes of the Heart first premiered in 1980 at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York, and had its Broadway debut in 1981 after it had already won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The Broadway production starred Mia Dillon, Mary Beth Hurt and Lizbeth Mackay. It was adapted into a film in 1986 starring Diane Keaton, Jessica Lange, and Sissy Spacek and received three Academy Award nominations including Beth Henley for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2007, it had an off-Broadway revival at the Roundabout Theatre Company starring Lily Rabe, Jennifer Dundas, and Sarah Paulsen.
Starring as the three absurdly amusing Magrath sisters are longtime Vagabonds Paige Posey, who serves on the Flat Rock Playhouse Board, and Lisa K. Bryant, Artistic Director of the Playhouse, along with Molly McAdoo playing Lenny, Meg and Babe respectively. Sharing the stage with Posey, Bryant and McAdoo is Grayson Powell as Barnette Lloyd and returning Vagabond, Brian Robinson as Doc.
Crimes of the Heart will be directed by JJ Ruscella. Joining Ruscella on the production team are Chris Mueller, CJ Barnwell, Ashli Arnold, and Kurt Conway as the Scenic, Lighting, Costume and Sound designers respectively. Connie Silver will serve as Stage Manager with Amelia Driscoll as Assistant Stage Manager. Paul Feraldi will be designing the properties.
Crime of the Heart is presented by our Downtown Series sponsor Rug and Home, and Opening Night Sponsor BMW of Asheville. The Executive Producers of Crimes of the Heart are Dennis and Victoria Flanagan and Coldwell Banker King.
Crimes of the Heart will run August 20th through September 6th at Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown. Performances Wednesday through Saturday evening at 8 PM, matinees Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM. Tickets are $15 - 40 and can be purchased by calling the Playhouse box office at 828-693-0731, toll-free at 866-732-8008 or online at www.flatrockplayhouse.org.

I woke early with the hope of capturing a colourful sunrise on the Mornington Peninsula. It was Summer and the morning was warm and muggy. As it got lighter I realised I was not going to get the colour I had hoped for. I did however notice how calm and peaceful the water was and that it was mirroring the sky so that it was hard to see where the water ended and the sky began.
I decided to soften the scene even more by using my 10 stop ND filter to really smooth out the water and sky to create a dreamy feel which was what I was feeling looking at this scene.
I also wanted to create contrast between the weathered old timber and its surroundings.
A couple of swimmers even went by but because of the long exposure they were invisible in the shot!
It is always good to have a backup plan when things are not what you expect them to be. On this occasion I was very happy not to have a colourful sunrise.

Resistant to the urgent, vivid, and profoundly peoples backdrop of uprisings exploding throughout the world catalyzed by the extrajudicial authorities killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, among countless other Black people several gay relationship apps have actually cobbled together their little, and maybe belated, response: eliminating long-criticized ethnicity filters in solidarity with Black Lives situation.
All announced they would finally be disabling the user option to filter search results by ethnicity over the last week or so, three of the worlds most popular location-based gay dating apps Grindr, Scruff and Jackd.
This implies users will no be able to longer flick a switch, or enter a key phrase, and work out vanish the pages of whichever battle or ethnicity they dont would you like to build relationships.
It began with Grindr. We stand in solidarity with all the #BlackLivesMatter motion plus the thousands and thousands of queer individuals of color who log on to our application every day, the business tweeted on June 1. We will perhaps not be quiet, and we’ll never be inactive. We are making donations towards the Marsha P. Johnson Institute and Black Lives question, and urge you to definitely perform some exact same when you can. today
Grindr failed to specify just how much it donated, but did carry on to guarantee it might continue to fight racism on its software, a belief mirrored in a tweet made by Scruff, that also has Jackd, the after day.
We commit to keep in order to make item improvements that target racism and unconscious bias across our apps, see the tweet. (Perry Street computer computer Software, the moms and dad business of both Scruff and Jackd, additionally pledged contributions to colors of Change while the Marsha P. Johnson Institute.) We will stay moderation this is certainly aggressive of that is racist, hateful or bigoted in your apps, commensurate with our zero-tolerance policy.
We stay in solidarity utilizing the combat systemic racism and historic oppression for the Ebony community. Ebony Lives Thing. Here are a number of the actions that people shall be using.
For a lot of users, though, surgeon dating sites none with this had been sufficient:
You have got a zero-tolerance policy for racism on the platform. Thats amazing to understand considering you have got a competition filter and let people upload Im here for vanilla and spice, perhaps not chocolate or rice to their pages.
Amazing. Please can we report pages with no blacks, no trans, no Asians in there pages and you will deal as you do sex workers with them quickly?
LMAOOOOOOOO REMOVING THE ETHNICITY FILTER CAN WHAT, EXACTLY
Skip Annie Bacterial
Gay dating apps have actually a lengthy and ugly reputation for enabling racism to perform crazy to their platforms, to your level that no Blacks, no Asians has become a typical refrain parcelled out one of the pages of mostly white users.
In reality, this aspect lies in the base of the frustrations for people who have actually taken care of immediately this news: that removal for this filter nevertheless doesn’t deal with the each and every day racism that plays away easily in chats and on individual profileswhich, had been the main topic of an entire lawsuit that is class-action.
Numerous headlines during the last few years have actually centered on the racism individuals of colour experience in navigating gay relationship apps. And, studies connected that racism with lower prices of self-worth and higher prices of despair among black colored guys. It got so incredibly bad that, Grindr established the Kindr campaign as an easy way to fight racialized sexual discrimination among its users.
The elimination of these filters is a component of a looping conversation which, using one end, views those that justify them as facilitating their sexual preferences, as well as on one other, views people who mention exactly exactly how sexual choice is frequently merely a euphemism for racism.
Final evening Grindr eliminated their ethnicity filter and I also covered it for BBC Information. Today we woke as much as an inbox packed with email messages such as these.
People nevertheless feel too more comfortable with their racism & anti-Blackness.
(Editors note: BAME represents Black, Asian and minority cultural, and it is a typical term for racialized individuals within the U.K.)
It is like people dont realize that preference will be based upon whom you find hot, regardless of competition.
Youll find individuals you will find appealing of any battle and individuals you dont. Its bc people can look extremely various.
But to discount a whole competition totally, now thats racist.
Racist gays reacting to Grindr getting rid of filters that are ethnic.
Grindr: black colored life do matter so were getting rid of the whites just filter
Even though this argument holds true and legitimate, many individuals noticed that eliminating the ethnicity filter is really a sword that is doubled-edged since some queer folks of color have actually formerly tried it to get one another in an ocean of predominantly white pages. It is confusing how frequently these filters are utilized for that function especially, plus its also unclear what deliberations occurred to reach at these choices when you look at the place that is first.
These apps will likely continue to ignore the various other problems that run amok on their platformsnamely the xenophobia, fatphobia, femmephobia and transphobia that have been hallmarks of their user experience for years, and will, it seems, continue to go unchecked in the meantime.

First some basic information: Eight episodes of eight different stories, based on a column in the New York Times of the same name.
It is obviously about love, I mean, it is in the title. But It is more than just that. These people are lost in love, some of them find love in a stranger, some learn how to love someone, some learn how to love themselves, some find the love that is long-gone, some find love again when marching into the later stage of their life, some look for the love they have never had, some witness the love between two people of the same sex…
The reality is, there are just so many types of love and so many ways to love.
Story one: When the doorman is main man
Story two: When Cupid is a prying journalist
Story three: Take me as I am, whoever I am
Story four: Rallying to keep the game alive
Story five: At the hospital an interlude of clarity
Story six: So he looked like dad, it was just dinner, right?
Story seven: Hers was a world of one
Story eight: The race grows sweeter near its final lap
Now I have only watched this show once and I don’t intend to do any more research other than the above just so I can know what impression did that first viewing leave me.
I remember clicking on the first episode with the expectation of seeing a classic love story developed in a modern city (which is kind of cliché, but also just my type), but as the story went on, I realised the main male character here isn’t a romantic partner of the main girl, who by the way, is the mom from How I Met Your Mother. It completely threw me off, I couldn’t figure out where the story was going. But by the end of that episode, it left me feeling so warm, it was, if not more, just as moving as a romantic story.
Just when I thought the next episode was also going to be a non-traditional love story, I entered the lives of two storytellers who were about to give us their love journey. Yes, this one is about romance. One of them is a journalist (what a big word to us) of the New York Times interviewing the other main character, who is apparently an up-and-coming entrepreneur. During their conversation, two long-covered stories are gradually unearthed. The story is captivating, intriguing and thought-provoking. And it got me thinking, are these real events that have happened to real people?
The following episodes are by no means any less of value, but because I am sure you would not have the time or interest to just read about me explaining the plot of each story, I will leave you to find out about that yourself. What I can say is if you do watch, you will see Anne Heathway, the priest from Fleabag whose real name I don’t know; and you will encounter bipolar (probably for the first time like me?) and a girl who deeply craves fatherly love.
Each episode is like a short movie, the colours of the pictures, the soundtracks, the ambience. If you are planning on snuggling down into your bed with your laptop on a cold winter day, it can be your perfect companion.
