Scott believes that God has led him to St. Charles several years ago when he became the pianist for the Sunday night Mass before he left to be the Director of Liturgy and Music at St. Mary Parish in Waukesha, WI. He once was told that one of the signs of a vibrant parish is its music program and he truly feels like he has come back home to continue that tradition of excellence at St. Charles as the Worship Musician.
Scott graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in Piano and minor in English Literature. He also received certification in Liturgy from the University of Notre Dame. Aside from his calling to serve the church, he has also played professionally as a freelance pianist for over twenty-five years in a wide variety of musical styles including jazz, classical, and pop. Formerly, he taught private piano lessons as well.
Over the years, Scott has felt the Holy Spirit calling him to serve the Church through music. His dad is a retired pastor in the UCC Church, and on Pentecost in 2017 Scott was received into the Catholic Church. His faith background is varied and, like most of us, his journey in faith has been full of many twists and turns and several surprises along the way! Scott is married to his amazing wife, Bridget, and they have a busy house of seven kids. He is also an avid Packer fan, loves movies and, of course, loves listening to and playing music.

Heart Mountain Workshops Is Featuring Public Event On Montana Sedition Act Abuses
Written by Grace Ballou on June 20, 2023
For the very first time, the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation will open to the public a session of its workshops for teachers from around the country for a presentation on the mistreatment of German American war resisters in Montana during World War I.
Dr. Keith Edgerton, a recently retired historian at Montana State University-Billings, will speak about they way Montana targeted vulnerable German immigrants during World War I at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 20 in the Grizzly Room in the Park County Library in Cody.
“In the wake of the American entrance into World War I, Montana experienced a wave of hyper-patriotism unsurpassed by any other state,” Edgerton commented. “The state government passed a Sedition Act (most of which the national government subsequently incorporated into its own sweeping Sedition Act in 1918) and local Montana ‘Councils of Defense’ targeted vulnerable, newly arrived German immigrants of questionable loyalty for especially harsh treatment; during the War, local and state courts convicted numerous immigrant farmers and labor organizers of sedition and incarcerated dozens in the state prison, tearing apart families and destroying lives.
“The episode reminds us that there has long been a deeply entrenched suspicion of ‘outsiders’ coming into the region, particularly foreign-speaking immigrants and that state-sanctioned mistreatment of minorities, particularly during times of national stress and crisis, unfortunately is more often the norm rather than the exception,” Edgerton said.
Edgerton’s presentation is part of the week-long workshop for educators at Heart Mountain called “Echoes of History: Mistreatment and Incarceration in the American West.” The workshops contextualize Japanese American incarceration at Heart Mountain during World War II with other abuses of marginalized communities in the region, including Native Americans, Chinese immigrants and Germans in Montana.
Heart Mountain received a $190,000 grant from the Landmarks of American History and Culture program of the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct the workshops. It is the third consecutive Heart Mountain has conducted the workshops.
The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation preserves the site where some 14,000 Japanese Americans were unjustly incarcerated in Wyoming from 1942 through 1945. Their stories are told within the foundation’s museum, Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, located between Cody and Powell.

Britain said on Thursday it would rush through emergency legislation to force telecoms companies to retain the data of users for a year, saying the move was vital to protect national security following a decision by Europe's top court. Communication companies had been required to retain data for 12 months under a 2006 European Union directive which was thrown out by the European Court of Justice in April. The scrapping of the directive could deprive police and intelligence agencies of access to information about who customers contacted by phone, text or email, and where and when, the British government said. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the emergency legislation would restore this capability and enshrine it in law, ensuring investigations would not be hampered and giving protection to the telecom firms from possible legal challenges.

Sheriff's office awarded federal grant
The Haywood County Sheriff’s Office was recently awarded a federal grant totaling $10,351.
The grant is part of $2,116,025 that came from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), the Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and National Institute of Justice (NIJ).
A total of $728,780 of that money was awarded via BJA’s Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, which is where Haywood County’s money came.
The JAG Program allows states and units of local government, including tribes, to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions.
The Haywood County Sheriff’s Office put the award toward ballistic and tactical entry vests for the Special Emergency Response Team members to use when they make entry into potentially life threatening situations.
The vests are custom fitted to allow deputies to move and perform more effectively and efficiently. The vests are also more advanced in the way of heat and sweat wicking technology, which will be helpful during long shifts.

NEW YORK, Sep 25 2013 (IPS) - Mayor Mike Bloomberg has always had a love-hate relationship with the New York city press corps covering City Hall and municipal politics.
Publicly displaying his annoyance, the usually abrasive billionaire mayor told reporters Thursday: “I’m not going to bother with press conferences (in the future). There’s just no reason to do it,” he said.
Addressing a press briefing at Chelsea Piers, the mayor said: “I think it’s very important that we talk to the public and that we answer the press’ questions. But you just gotta restrict the questions to things that are germane to what our administration is doing.,
Asked why he was angry with the city’s press corps, Bloomberg said: “Ï am not, but there are so many things that are important, and to ask things that I have no knowledge about, or shouldn’t be commenting about is a shame, because the public really does need to know about, for example, the [air quality] announcement today.”
Having been instrumental in banning smoking in public places in New York city, Bloomberg said he had made the city’s air “breathable.”
One of his primary missions is to improve the quality of life in New York city. Asked to comment on reports about the exodus of New Yorkers to the suburbs, he responded sarcastically: “When they vote with their feet, which direction do they go?”
The mayor, who is estimated to be worth more than $34 billion, owns about 88 percent of Bloomberg LP, and won three consecutive terms in office.

- Help collect important data on the whales, dolphins, and porpoises in Irish waters
- Learn marine mammal identification and surveying techniques
- Assist the crew in all aspects on the trip
- Explore Ireland’s beautiful and unique coastline
- Experience an unforgettable sailing experience like no other in Ireland
- No previous experience required you just need to become a member
Celtic Mist is used to train its members how to survey and record cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) in Irish waters. As an IWDG member, you become a partial owner of Celtic Mist, and at €600 for a week-long survey, we hope you take full advantage of what she has to offer! Anyone can become a member and join us on board for a unique and unforgettable experience.
There are at least 26 cetacean species present in Irish waters, from the harbour porpoise to the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. That’s over a quarter of the world’s species of cetaceans. Some species are migratory, like humpback and fin whales off the southwest and south coast, while others are resident year-round. We have such a diverse number of species due to the myriad of marine habitats that occurs in our waters. From sheltered bays and the shallow waters of the continental shelf to deep complex canyon systems and abyssal plains, Irish waters are one of the most important places in Europe for cetaceans.
Celtic Mist was donated to the IWDG in 2011, by the family of Ireland’s former Taoiseach, Charles J. Haughey. At 17m, Celtic Mist has become IWDG’s flagship vessel, equipped to accommodate eight people. Celtic Mist has surveyed Irish inshore and offshore waters since 2012, successfully circum-navigating Ireland on several occasions, including in 2022. Blue whales were seen on her first offshore survey, and she successfully undertook an expedition to Iceland in search of humpback whales in 2018. Coastal communities are visited during the summer months with members of the public encouraged to visit the yacht to learn about Ireland’s rich marine life while promoting marine conservation. In May 2019 the education programme Floating Classroom begun where pupils undertake unique ocean educational activities and learn about marine mammal surveying both in the classroom and onboard the vessel.
This year Celtic Mist will travel from Dublin to Kilrush, with a variety of surveys on offer. During the surveys members will help the onboard marine biologists to survey the waters along the south and west coastline, looking out for and recording marine life. The survey route will concentrate on candidate Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as identified by IWDG and Fair Seas, where we will be collecting crucial data on the cetaceans we encounter.
Celtic Mist has undergone two extensive refits since she became an IWDG vessel. These refits were necessary to prepare her for work in Irish waters when she was originally donated to the group in 2011 and to be ready to sail to Iceland in 2018. Both refits would not have been possible without the voluntary effort of IWDG members.
Maintenance is carried out each winter to ensure that Celtic Mist is seaworthy for her summer sailing schedule. This year they have typically taken place on Thursdays and Saturdays at the Grand Canal Basin in Dublin.
If you wish to help with her winter refit in whatever way you can we would love to hear from you. Maintenance jobs vary greatly from chipping rust to sanding or painting among others. Please get in touch with Fiacc O’Brolchain at firstname.lastname@example.org if interested.

With centuries of history, art, and culture, Italy is one of Europe’s cultural centres. According to a recent report, the nonfungible token (NFT) market is now positioned to usher in a cryptographic Renaissance.
According to information from Research and Market’s “Italy NFT Market Intelligence and Future Growth Dynamics Databook,” the country’s NFT market is anticipated to grow by 47.6% by the end of 2022.
The Italian NFT market would then be valued at roughly $671 million.
Moreover, a compound annual growth rate of 34.6% is predicted for the NFT market in Italy over the subsequent five years. By 2028, it is expected that NFT spending will total $3.6 billion.
The report claims that the country’s thriving art and cultural scene contributes in part to its success with NFTs. Leading the industry in the adoption of Web3 technologies have been major Italian luxury fashion houses like Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana.
They were innovative not just for Italy but for the entire fashion sector. Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci each made $25.6 million and $11.5 million respectively over the course of the previous year from their NFTs.
These companies also spearheaded efforts to use digital activities and wearables, many of which included NFTs, to engage their communities in the metaverse.
Italy is being propelled into the NFT spotlight by factors other than just fashion brands. The lengthy cultural history of the nation has also witnessed some Web3-related activities.
The Arco della Pace, also known as the Arc of Peace, in Milan, Italy, served as the first subject for an NFT project called the Monuverse that is preserving historical sites through digital assets.
Italian artists even have their own management organisation called “crypto renaissance,” which refers to the nation’s emergence as a leader in art during the Renaissance period, to assist Italian NFT artists.
Meanwhile, the overall tone of the Italian cryptocurrency market is also improving. Algorand, a blockchain developer, recently announced that it would use its technology to support Italian banks and insurance guarantee platforms. Gemini received authorization to conduct business in Italy in November.
However, Italy’s budget documents for the upcoming year were made public on December 1 and included information about a new 26% capital gains tax that will be levied on cryptocurrency profits in the coming year.

text: In Europe agricultural areas are of great importance to biodiversity conservation. One of the aims of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) after 2013 is to avoid additional loss of agriculture-related biodiversity. Farmland biodiversity is a public good that provides ecosystem services necessary for the sustainability of agriculture itself as well as for a sustainable environment as a whole. To evaluate policies such as the CAP and to monitor the development of biodiversity in agricultural areas, specifically designed indicators are needed. Current EU-level indicators of agricultural biodiversity are often limited to a specific species group, for example the group of farmland birds, and are not designed for evaluation of future policies. This study presents a methodology for a new indicator that is targeted specifically at biodiversity in agricultural areas, considering a large variety of species and focussing on policy. The methodology combines maps of the potential occurrence of 132 relevant species (plants and vertebrates) on a 50 km grid, with detailed information (1 km grid) on the influence of environmental pressures on these species. A first indicator map on a 1 km grid for the EU is provided, based on available data. This map shows great variety in the state of the biodiversity of agricultural areas in the EU. Generally speaking, biodiversity in agricultural areas in the south and east of the EU is in a better state than in the west and north. However, spatial variability is high between and even within regions. The presented indicator may be used to explore the dynamics of biodiversity following policy interventions, using the biodiversity map or by modelling the effect of policies on the environmental pressures that form the basis of the indicator. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

On a trip this year we experienced 50+ mph winds while driving south through eastern Wyoming. After a couple of hours of wrestling with the wind, I noticed my driver's side wall slideout on my Sightseer 33C was out about 1 1/2 inches on the front end (only). It didn't become an issue on the trip, but the slide never went in or out in parallel fashion until we took the MH in for service upon our return. They had to replace the entire Schwintek system as gears had been skipped and damage prevented them from re-syncing the motors (????). Anyways, the service rep recommended I get slide out lock bars to use when traveling to prevent any future issues.
I see a part made by Alta Resources and it looks ok:
Can't find any at Camping World. This Alta unit appears to be the only option.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any specific type or brand?


People who live in a Lancashire neighbourhood branded a 'no-go zone' have defended their community following calls to tackle antisocial behaviour.
Last week, councillors, the police and residents met to discuss gangs of youths causing trouble in the Queensgate area of Burnley. Residents’ representative Jennifer Braddock has made three visits to Burnley’s Full Council meeting to complain about anti-social behaviour in the area.
At last month’s meeting she warned that parts of the ward had become ‘no-go’ areas for ordinary residents with youths showing “a total disrespect” for local people, reports LancsLive. But when the publication visited the area, they were surprised by what they found.
They were greeted by a community of people who described the area as "perfectly nice, perfectly safe." As traffic flowed along the busy Colne Road, shops and businesses were open and groups of men made their way to Friday prayers at the Queensgate Islamic Centre.
Laura, who works in the One Stop shop, on Colne Road, said: "I have never had any trouble here. We are open from 7am to 10pm. We have the same customers, locals, and they are alright. There probably is a little bit of antisocial behaviour but I have never had any problems."
Ali Ahmed told us he was "born and bred" in the area. "I just don't think it is true", he said. "There are no issues. We all know each other and the area is safe and sound. The only real issue is speeding on the main road. Antisocial behaviour? No, not here."
Waqas Ali has a shop in the area. He said: "I have been here for seven years. It is a respectful area. I know a lot of people here - it's perfectly nice, perfectly safe."
Kenneth Hewitt said: "You get antisocial behaviour everywhere but I wouldn't say there are real problems here. People look out for each other to be honest. There is no trouble from locals. I suppose you hear talk, but nothing happens - it's a well controlled area."
Another man said angrily: "There aren't any no-go areas in Britain."

On Friday October 20, Burnley Council leader Cllr Afrasiab Anwar, East Divisional police commander Chief Superintendent Mark Winstanley, and Lancashire crime commissioner Andrew Snowden met with residents at Queensgate’s St Cuthbert’s Church to launch a multi-agency initiative to tackle the problem.
The neighbourhood will see increased police and local authority activity with the aim of creating a safer, more welcoming environment including a clean up drive from the council’s waste contractor Urbaser. Mrs Braddock’s concerns have been reported to the Burnley Neighbourhood Policing team.
Cllr Anwar said: “We’ve listened to the concerns and issues raised by residents and immediately liaised with colleagues at Lancashire Police to organise this combined, partnership approach to see what can be done to address them.
“Burnley Council is working hard in the Queensgate area to address issues such as anti-social behaviour, littering, fly-tipping and dog fouling, as well as the problem of long-term empty properties and improving housing conditions.”
Chief Supt Winstanley, said: “We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for everyone in Queensgate and ensuring that those who live in the area feel safe and welcome. We take reports of issues seriously and would ask that our communities continue to tell us their concerns.
“We are working closely with Burnley Council and other partners to tackle and prevent anti-social behaviour.”
Mr Snowden said: “Anti-social behaviour is a blight on our communities and an issue residents repeatedly raise with me, which is why I have invested in dedicated neighbourhood policing officers in every area to help tackle it. These officers are supported by the newly-established ASB Prevention and Problem-Solving Command – a team of specialist officers including civil enforcement, designing-out crime and business and rural crime experts.
“This team is working with our partners to find long terms solutions to address the underlying issues that cause ASB in the first place. In addition, £56,000 has been given to Burnley through my Safer Lancashire Neighbourhood Fund to address ASB concerns and deter offending.”
Mrs Braddock has told councillors three times that the Queensgate area is plagued by vandalism, derelict and semi-derelict cars dumped on streets by garages and others, and a changing population of short-term tenants occupying poor standard housing.

New project gets a lot of support from local friends
Sparkle Teeth founder digs into new studio
May 26, 2021
Dan Kinnaley is a veteran of the underground music scene in Fort Wayne.
The New Haven native has played in quite a few local bands over the years, including The Snarks, Burial Party, and novelty death-metal band Truck Flag.
But Kinnaley’s latest project is his most personal.
Solo with lots of support
Sparkle Teeth is pretty much all Dan plus some drums and production help from local studio wizard Jason Davis.
It’s also a collaboration with his partner and artist Kristin Watrous, who has supplied the visuals to Kinnaley’s music.
“A few years ago, I bought an interface and EZ Drummer 2 in an effort to make better demos for the bands I was in,” Kinnaley said. “I started playing around with a few ideas that I realized wouldn’t work for any of them, so I decided to see if I could flesh them out on my own.”
That’s how Sparkle Teeth came about.
“I was initially inspired by bands like Cloakroom, Narrow Head, and Slow Crush,” he said. “I think they’re doing new and interesting things with the kind of melodic-yet-muscular guitar rock that a lot of my favorite genres, like college rock, post-hardcore, post-punk, shoegaze, and grunge, all share.
“I was also listening to a lot of dream pop and synth-based music at the time, which I think creeps into the melodies a bit.”
Kinnaley had to perfect his method for laying down the vocals, since he wasn’t typically singing in his other projects.
“One of my favorite vocalists and lyricists is Joe Casey from Protomartyr,” he said. “I love the way he paints a scene with words and how the quality of his voice brings those scenes to life.
“I try not to ape anyone outright, but I’m not a singer and I didn’t know where to start learning, so I sang along to Protomartyr songs in the car until I felt comfortable enough to sing these songs.”
New music Next week
Sparkle Teeth’s debut EP drops on June 4. It contains three songs, which are the first three tracks Kinnaley wrote for the band.
“After I finished the demos, I showed them to Jason Davis of Streetlamps for Spotlights and he agreed to play drums on the record,” Kinnaley said. “We recorded the drums at his studio, Off The Cuff, in January of 2020 and I tracked the guitar, bass, and synth at home shortly after.
“I knew that I wanted to go back to Off The Cuff to record vocals and mix. Jason has an excellent ear for this style of music and I knew he’d have valuable insight into vocal production and mixing.”
As for new songs, Kinnaley is thinking ahead.
“I’m hoping to write a few more and release a Sparkle Teeth album sometime in 2022.”
While there are no live shows booked yet, Kinnaley has recorded a live set with a few friends/bandmates for something special.
“I recently put together a band of some of my favorite musicians to film a set of the three songs to help promote the EP,” Kinnaley said. “Dan Arnos and Elizabeth Helms, who played with me in The Snarks, are on board on drums and keys respectively. Ian Haas from disappear. is playing bass, and Nick Burks from Stonecutters and War Cloud is playing lead guitar.”
Kinnaley was thrilled for all the support from fellow musicians and friends who were willing to help him out with this project.
“No matter what else happens with this project, knowing all of them said yes to playing these songs with me feels like the biggest compliment,” he said. “We’ll be recording them at the Brass Rail before the bar opens, and it has me itching to get back to playing shows again. Hopefully once we nail down a few of the new songs, we can book a show or two this fall.”
Along with the start of Sparkle Teeth, Kinnaley began his journey as a recording studio owner in 2020.
A recent move and purchase of a new place just outside of the Fort has Kinnaley and partner Watrous with a lot of room for them both to grow and create their art.
“Our new place has all the room we each need, and I’m so excited to have a proper studio,” Kinnaley said. “The basement is currently being renovated into a control room, live room, and isolation room that will be able to accomodate tracking a full band live. I’ll also be able to offer editing, mixing, and pre-production services. I’m calling it Chipped Tooth Audio, and I’m hoping to start making music here in the summer.”

One of the best small town restaurants in Kansas is in the tiny town of Altoona, which has a population of around 350. You’d be forgiven for thinking that there’s likely not anything that delicious in a place so small. However, at least in this case, you’d definitely be wrong! Altoona is home to Prairie Nut Hut, a delicious spot that serves up incredible meals and doesn’t take itself too seriously. One of the most popular menu items here has quite the cult following: mountain oysters.

Sturtevant Falls Trail is a 3.1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Sierra Madre, California that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and horses and is best used from November until March. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
A leisurely hike through an enchanted portion of the San Gabriel Mountains leading to a fifty foot waterfall. The trail from Chantry Flats to Sturtevant Falls has been a popular hike for those wanting to escape the urban sprawl of Los Angeles since the early 1900's. This is an easy hike and perfect for anyone new to hiking but be aware that the last 0.6 mile return to the parking lot is all uphill. You will need a USDF pass, you can get a day pass $5 at REI.
The hill down at the beginning.....and back up at the end, is tough! The hike along the stream and the falls are beautiful right now though after all of the rain we have had!
Lots of water right now!
Love love love! Easy trail, went on a Monday not heavily trafficked when kids are at school. Very shady.
Refreshing and scenic
Great little hike, not to strenuous at all. After a rain storm the waterfall becomes mighty and is a spectacle to see.
The area is beautiful and the creeks and falls are really nice after all the rain! I went on a Thursday and it wasn't crowded. My dog really enjoyed it! She loved to play in the water. It was a very enjoyable stroll. The last uphill stretch is a little exhausting, but if you know to save some energy for it, it's not too bad!
Beautiful hike... it does get packed, so go early as possible! Heading back to the car was killer... its uphill towards the end of the trail! But the falls were amazing!
Like others before me have said, the first 20-15 minutes is down so you have to spend that time coming back up at the end. This was the only challenging part of the trail for us: otherwise a quiet serene beautiful trail experience.
Thank you to Park staff for upkeep!!!!
beginning is not leisure... the stream and waterfalls are relaxing and pretty. the end is a nice place to sit and soak up a small bit of the worlds beauty!
did this hike over rhe weekend. you will need a USDF pass. you can get a day pass $5 at REI. parking is tricky, but there are several trails you can take once you're there. remember you go down and you have to come back up. beautiful with lots of photo ops. the falls are raging right now. worth it to soend the day and explore. lots of water crossing.
The falls look great. I know some people complain about it being crowded but there's a reason why! Also, if you select a 3 mi round trip hike with a waterfall, you can't be surprised it's crowded.

Manufacturing giant Pilkington Glass has called on Manchester Metropolitan University's material scientists as it seeks to enhance its range of energy-efficient glazing products. Professor Peter Kelly's surface engineering group is working with Pilkington to develop their special energy-saving glass coatings, which are used to help reduce heat loss from buildings and cars. Pilkington are also using state-of-the-art analytical facilities to carry out detailed studies of coatings and manufacturing processes using a revolutionary technique called magnetron sputtering.
Dr Janet O'Brien-Reilly, a senior technologist at Pilkington Technology Centre, said their link up with MMU and the University of Liverpool enabled them to conduct in-depth research away from industrial pressures. Market conditions are fierce and the challenge facing manufacturers is to make their products better and more cheaply, she said.At Pilkington we are always looking to stay one step ahead of our competitors. We apply the knowledge gained from MMU in existing and new products to achieve the best functional and durable products that we can. It also gives us the opportunity to keep abreast of new equipment which we don't have.
Among the projects currently being carried out at MMU, the research team is looking at improving coating durability. Professor Kelly, a world expert in the field, said that MMU's specialist laboratory was ideally suited for the research and development of thin film energy-saving coatings. The analysis that we provide is directly fed back to Pilkington who use it to either modify their production processes or improve their products, he explained. It's a testimony to the expertise we have at the University that a company of Pilkington's international standing values our input. Another spin-off is that our students get to see an example of university-industry collaboration at first hand.

A Brief History of Italian Communism
After World War II, the Italian Communist Party (ICP) became one of the largest of its kind in Western Europe. At first, ICP maintained close ties with the Soviet Union, but a series of events transformed their relations in the following decades. Khrushchev's revelations of Stalin's crimes and Soviet military intervention in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Afghanistan led to the gradual estrangement of Italian communists from the Soviet Union. In the 1970s, ICP adopted a theory of Eurocommunism.
The concept of communism in Italy may be associated with a variety of things. On one hand, Italian communist leaders, such as Enrico Berlinguer, are still today praised for their political skills and contributions to society even by those who support more right-wing lines of thought. On the other, some events remain controversial, like the murder of Christian Democracy leader, Aldo Moro, at the hands of the Red Brigades, a terrorist organization of communist inspiration.
The Italian Communist Party, widely known as PCI, was founded in 1921 in the Tuscanian town of Livorno following the secession from the Italian Socialist Party, and it eventually became the stronghold of Western communism. At the beginning of its history, the influence coming from the Bolsheviks – who had conquered power just a few years prior – was inevitably strong. The PCI was obviously part of the Comintern (and later of Cominform), and as such, aimed at implementing Lenin’s point of view on communism by trying to appeal to the local working class.
However, the two factions that caused the split in the Socialist Party stayed even within the PCI: the Ordine Nuovo (“New Order”), led by Antonio Gramsci and closer to the Bolshevik ideology, and the Massimalisti (“Maximalists”), led by Nicola Bombacci, amongst whose supporters we could once find Benito Mussolini – many of them, in fact, just a few years later joined the Fascist ranks.
However, while the Soviet influence was great and without the 1917 revolution, the PCI would not have existed in the first place, communism in Italy from the beginning acquired a more democratic face. Even from a dialectic point of view, Antonio Gramsci always avoided the phrase “dictatorship of the proletariat”, and preferred the arguably more peaceful “hegemony of the working class”, a gradual, non-violent process that would bring the working class – including professionals and technicians – to power.
The PCI, at least at first, maintained the “democratic centralism” advocated by Lenin, but never dwelt too much in ideology, and preferred to try and answer to the real needs of Italians, such as improving public services and strengthening the economy, as well as protecting the “fundamental freedoms of the citizens” who should have lived in a “democratic republic of workers [supported by] a representative parliamentary regime”, as the official Party program of 1946 stated.
World War II and ‘La Resistenza’
With Mussolini’s Fascist government, every other opposition party was outlawed – pretty significant in this aspect is the political assassination of Giacomo Matteotti, the socialist leader who, after a passionate speech denouncing Mussolini’s dictatorship in June 1924, was found dead just a few weeks later – and so was the PCI in 1926. However, its members continued to work underground. During these years, Antonio Gramsci ensured its position of power within the party, and after his arrest, this role passed on to Palmiro Togliatti.
The Italian Communist Party played a significant role in the Resistance Movement, whose activity intensified after the fall of Mussolini in 1943. At first, partisan formations were mostly comprised of a disorganized network of former officers of the Royal Italian Army, but later the Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale (CLN, “Committee of National Liberation”) was created as a cooperation between the Italian Communist Party, the Italian Socialist Party, the Partito d’Azione (“Party of Action”, a republican liberal socialist party), and Democrazia Cristiana (“Christian Democracy”, a more conservative party which later became the biggest antagonist of the PCI).
Partisan formations were very heterogeneous, and even if communists and socialists made up for the majority, as shown by the CLN composition, in the end, anyone who identified as anti-fascist – and thus even catholics, young students, and a minority of monarchists – actually joined the Resistance.
The PCI managed the so-called Brigate Garibaldi (“Garibaldi Brigades”), which made up for 41% of the total partisan forces (as of May 1944, between 70,000 and 80,000 individuals – by the end of the war, in April 1945, the number had increased to over 250,000 people), and they mostly operated in Northern Italy. Although most partisans were Italians, there was a strong component of international aid, especially of escaped prisoners of war from Yugoslavia and the Soviet republics, but also from other European countries like Spain and Greece, and from German deserters who became disillusioned with Nazism.
The partisans’ – and in a certain way, communists’ – contribution to the liberation of Italy is of undiscussed importance. The Italian constitution itself, which came into force in 1948, was written for a part by Italian communists, and, as aforementioned, it states that “Italy is a democracy based on work” (art. 1), and that “every reorganization, in any form, of the now-dissolved Fascist Party, is forbidden” (art. 13). We can also include the Legge Scelba, issued in 1952:
“there is a reorganization of the now-dissolved Fascist Party when an association or a movement pursuits anti-democratic goals inherent to the Fascist Party, exalting, menacing, or using violence as a political instrument, or advocating the suppression of the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, or denigrating democracy, its institutions, and the values of the Resistance, or carrying out racist propaganda, that is it directs its activities at the exaltation of representatives, principles, facts and methods inherent to the aforementioned Party, or makes external displays of fascist character.”
In any case, while without the support of the communists, the war would have probably had a very different ending, the relationship between partisans and civilians may not always have been positive. The so-called ‘Foibe Massacres’ are an emblematic example of this, and to this day, remain a controversial topic. It refers to the mass killings of Italian civilians living in the regions of Friuli, Istria and Dalmatia, committed mostly by Yugoslav partisans, who later threw the bodies into natural sinkholes in the ground – the titular “foibas”. The motives of these killings are still unclear, but not surprising if put into the context of the war: many of the victims were Fascist sympathizers, while others were most likely just anti-communists or anti-Tito, or, according to some Italian historians, victims of ethnic cleansing as a revenge against the Italianization of Yugoslavia.
These events have been mostly instrumentalized by the Italian Right, by politicians like Silvio Berlusconi. However, after years of covering up, the Left too has recognized its culpability, first and foremost thanks to former President and Prime Minister Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, and Democratic leader Walter Veltroni in the 2000s.
After the War: A Communist Italy on the rise
If communist ideology was slightly put apart for a while during the war years in favor of a broader coalition that could defy Nazi-Fascism, soon enough, the Italian Communist Party continued to gain popularity amongst the people – mostly workers and farmers – and governmental power, and contributed in laying the foundations for the values of the newly-born Italian Republic.
Christian Democratic Prime Minister Alcide de Gasperi sent the PCI off into the opposition in 1947, fearing that the Left might surpass him, under the advice of US Secretary George Marshall, who supported even economically anti-communist sentiments in Italy, claiming anti-communism as a necessary pre-condition for receiving the aid of the Marshall Plan.
In the following years, after the “Marshall ban” ended, the Communist Party gained more and more success, especially in the regions of Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, and Umbria, and became the only Western communist party, together with France, to join the Cominform. Under the guidance of communist hardline leader Palmiro Togliatti, its relations with foreign communist parties, especially with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, intensified: after the Tito-Stalin split of 1948, in fact, the Italian Communist Party sided with the USSR and its relations with Yugoslavia loosened. It seems quite relevant to remember that AvtoVAZ, or the Lada factory, was set up in collaboration with the Italian FIAT in 1966, and the Russian town of Stavropol-on-Volga was renamed Tolyatti in honor of Togliatti after his death in 1964.
However, despite the ideological vicinity to Soviet communism, the Italian Communist Party maintained the capacity to operate efficiently, even if on a municipal level. In fact, as of 1975, the PCI was the leading force in the majority of Italy’s biggest cities, most importantly Bologna, called “The Red One” because of its uninterrupted history of communist leadership.
The 1950s, though, represented a turning point for Italian communism. First and foremost, the exposure of Stalin’s crimes by Khrushchev was a tough blow to all Party members and sympathizers. Communist Bruno Corbi stated that he and his comrades felt betrayed and wondered in what they had believed all along, when Stalin was just presented as the “father of the oppressed and defender of the humbles”, and no one – but maybe, it can be argued, Togliatti, who frequently visited the USSR and was very close with Stalin – knew about what he did.
Later, and probably most importantly, the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 created another split inside the PCI between those, like Togliatti, who saw the insurgents as “counter-revolutionaries”, and the others, like Giuseppe Di Vittorio and socialist ally of the PCI Pietro Nenni, who disagreed with the Soviet’s violent suppression of the revolt. This was but the first of a series of events that marked the gradual estrangement of Italian communists from the Soviet Union.
The Berlinguer-Brezhnev split
When the Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in August 1968, the then PCI national secretary and later secretary-general Enrico Berlinguer strongly condemned the actions undertaken by Moscow. In direct contrast with the perpetual filo-soviet view of Togliatti’s communism, Berlinguer set the start to a new era in Italian politics, decisively shifting the newly independent character of Italian communism towards a more moderate and ‘Italian’ line of thought.
Berlinguer himself explained his new approach as a Terza Via (“Third Way”), an alternative type of socialism far both from the Soviet-type and from Western capitalism, a “socialism that we believe necessary and possible only in Italy", as he stated in 1976 in front of 5,000 communist delegates in Moscow, ultimately underlining the PCI’s autonomy with regards to the CPSU. Moving towards Eurocommunism and Socialist International, Berlinguer chose to trust NATO, and eventually negotiated the Compromesso Storico (“Historic Compromise”) with the long-time opponent of the PCI, the Christian Democrats, towards the end of the 1970s.
This was a particularly clever move which made of Berlinguer the most popular politician of its time, and increased, even more, the social support of the Italian Communist Party. In fact, the 1970s and 1980s in Italy are known as Anni di Piombo (“Years of Lead”), because of the numerous terrorist attacks that inundated the peninsula, both by far-right and far-left groups and a “united front” of the two leading Italian parties would have given more stability to the people. However, the aforementioned murder of Aldo Moro at the hands of the ultra-left terrorist group Red Brigades (who were supported by the Czechoslovak State Security) stopped the negotiations, and from this point onwards, the PCI’s influence started to decrease.
The End of the PCI
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Martial Law that was instituted in Poland were two other factors that made the gap between the PCI and the CPSU even deeper. In fact, even if Moscow kept sending finances to Italian communists even during the progressive estrangement initiated by Berlinguer, in 1984 it stopped altogether.
In 1989, when Eastern European communisms were all on the verge of the collapse, the PCI acknowledged the failure of international communism during the new leader Achille Occhetto’s speech known as the Svolta della Bolognina (“Bolognina Turning Point”). Eurocommunism had come to a halt, and the Communist Party of Italy was dissolved and then refounded under the name of the Democratic Party of the Left, a progressive left-wing democratic socialist party. From that moment, more and more splits and divisions happened within the former PCI members, with more and more leftist or center-leftist parties coming out. However, not one of these parties could get a grasp on the Italian population, as the Italian Communist Party did.
Italy tried its experiment with communism, and it is not sure whether it was a success or a failure. What can be noted, though, is that the Party did a good job on the municipal level, gaining a great deal of popularity among the people, especially thanks to the role it played in the Resistance and during the era of Enrico Berlinguer.
It is though important to understand two things: first, the magnitude of the events that happened in the Soviet area of influence (the Hungarian Revolution, the Prague Spring, and so on) was never apparent to the outside countries, and maybe people never fully understood what happened inside what they thought was the greatest anti-capitalist power; second, Italian communists, even under the more orthodox guidance of Antonio Gramsci and Palmiro Togliatti, always emphasized the need for democracy and “polycentrism”, that is, the need for each country to find one’s own way to socialism.
Of course, this was possible because communism in Italy was not ideologically pervasive and imposed from the top, as it happened in the USSR, but was just one of the alternatives proposed to Italians. However, there is a question that Italians of any political view ask themselves: what would have happened if Italy could not distance itself from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union?

Did you say LSU is going to throw this season? Really? LSU? Forward passes?
“The spread offense with the no-huddle and the opportunity to make calls after you align is something we will evolve and take part in.”
Former LSU head coach Les Miles, 2008 SEC Football Media Days
"We’ll throw it more efficiently and we’ll throw it downfield a bit better.”
Miles, 2012 SEC Football Media Days
“We throw the ball at practice all the time, but we specifically want to have a greater, efficient passing game.”
Miles, 2016 SEC Football Media Days
"We're going to throw the football at LSU. We're going to be 50/50.”
Current LSU head coach Ed Orgeron, 2018 SEC Football Media Days
“We're going to run the spread offense. It's in. It's in the playbook. So, it's not a threat. . .I promise you that. We're going to run it.”
Orgeron, 2019 SEC Football Media Days
If you’re an LSU fan, it’s hard not to be disappointed by the string of false promises through the years that the Tigers would join college football’s elite in embracing no-huddle spread offenses featuring passing to an array of receivers.
LSU coaches have set more records for crying wolf promising improved passing than actually establishing an aerial attack that could be described as “modern day.”
Yet with the 2019 season opener against Georgia Southern in Tiger Stadium, I can confidently say that LSU will step into the final offensive frontier where no Tiger team has ventured before.
While not abandoning the Tigers’ soul – a power running game – there will be all the bells and whistles of what every national championship caliber team has in its arsenal.
Getting the ball to athletes in space. Four and five wide passing formations. Run-pass option plays that make quarterbacks runners to give defenses an extra ball carrier to account for. Receivers using option routes in which receivers and the quarterbacks read defenses and understand what route works. No-huddle to speed tempo and increase the number of snaps. Versatile running backs who can bang between the tackles and catch short, quick passes in the flats.
Why after all these years of gnashing and wailing is LSU finally adding these elements and run-pass option plays that have been a part of college football for a least a decade?
Because Orgeron knows that if the Tigers are ever serious about winning a national championship, they must average almost 40 points per game.
Teams that have qualified for the first five College Football Playoffs that started in 2014 have averaged 39.4 points, 483.3 yards and 6.8 offensive touchdowns.
Teams that won the national title have averaged 40.1 points, 482.2 yards and 7.3 offensive touchdowns.
LSU, in this time frame, has averaged 29.6 points, 412.2 yards and 3.5 offensive TDs.
Those are numbers that won’t even help LSU challenge for the SEC Western Division title. Oregron understands it, which is why he’s making a change.
Also, the timing is right.
His 34-game old program has evolved to this moment, marrying whiz kid first-year passing game coordinator Joe Brady with experienced returning starting quarterback Joe Burrow.
Brady, who was an offensive assistant with the Saints last season, has a simple offensive philosophy. Find the one-on-one matchups and get the ball to your fastest open athletes.
“If we get our speed in space and allow our guys to win their one-on-ones, the rest is going to take care of itself,” Brady said. “We’re going to be an offense that applies pressure. The more one-on-one matchups we get, the better.”
Last season in first year after gaining immediate eligibility as a graduate transfer from Ohio State, Burrow guided the Tigers to a 10-3 record including a Fiesta Bowl win over UCF despite being surrounded by a load of inexperienced running backs and receivers.
Burrow’s intelligence is made for Brady’s intricate passing game which has Burrow and the receivers reading defenses at the line of scrimmage and making adjustments on the fly.
“We’ve put more effort into reading defenses than we did last year,” said wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the team’s leading pass catcher last season. “With this offense, we kind of have to read the defenses in order to run our different routes and get open in space.”
From day one with Brady, Burrow bought in big.
“We have matchups all over the field we can take advantage of, fast players everywhere, talented players in space,” Burrow said. “We’re going to score a lot of points and I don’t think a lot of people are used to LSU scoring 40, 50, 60 points a game.”
Last season, Burrow mainly targeted Jefferson, who had twice as many catches as the Tigers’ receivers with the second most catches.
Understanding he has plenty of options in Brady’s offense, Burrow worked feverishly all summer during voluntary workouts with wide receivers, running backs and tight ends to establish a rhythm and connection with everyone.
The sweat equity has paid off. In preseason practices and scrimmages, Burrow has thrown to a variety of targets.
“We have four or five No. 1 receivers,” he said. “The more options a quarterback has, the faster you get the ball out. If you get five guys out in a route, they’ve got to cover five people, there’s not going to be as many people rushing.”
The versatility of the offense to keep defenses off-balance is also something that has sorely been needed for the Tigers.
“It’s well-balanced and it’s so unpredictable,” running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire said. “I can’t say we’re going to go out there today and it’s going to be all power (running). I can’t out there saying it’s going to be all five-wide.
“Even as player or a starter standing on the sideline, you can say `I wonder what play we’re about to run.’ It’s pretty cool.”
And most welcome, especially for the Purple and Gold faithful who have yearned for such an offense after watching a majority of national championship contenders use it successfully.
For those LSU fans, the time is finally here and now. Did you ever think you'd ever live to see the day?
The first time Burrow completes successive passes to a running back and a tight end, there may be tears of happiness in the Tiger Stadium stands highlighted by unabashed beer and wine toasting.
Heck, there may even be commemorative coins.

Blatter quits FIFA; under investigation by US prosecutors, FBI
'It was a difficult decision, a brave decision, and the right decision'
Sepp Blatter rocked the world of soccer on Tuesday by saying he would step down as FIFA president in the wake of a corruption investigation that now includes the 79-year-old chief himself.
Blatter, who has led soccer's world governing body since 1998, is being investigated by US prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a person who spoke on condition of anonymity told Reuters late on Tuesday. An FBI spokesman declined comment.
News of Blatter's investigation was earlier reported by The New York Times and ABC News. Blatter has not been charged with any wrongdoing. FIFA did not respond to a request for comment on Blatter being under investigation.
Blatter, a Swiss national who has been a dominant presence at FIFA for decades, announced his decision to step down at a hastily arranged news conference in Zurich, six days after police raided a hotel in the city and arrested several FIFA officials - and just four days after he was re-elected to a fifth term as FIFA president.
He said an election to choose a new president would be held as soon as possible, though a FIFA official said it would probably not take place until at least December.
"FIFA needs profound restructuring," Blatter said. "I decided to stand again to be elected because I was convinced it was the best option for football. Although the members of FIFA gave me a new mandate, this mandate does not seem to be supported by everyone in the world."
Critics, sponsors welcome move
Blatter's decision to step down as FIFA is mired in the worst crisis in its history was welcomed by his critics.
European football federation chief Michel Platini, a French former international player and favourite to succeed Blatter as FIFA president, said: "It was a difficult decision, a brave decision, and the right decision."
The second favourite on the list, Jordan's Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, who withdrew from last week's election after winning 73 votes to Blatter's 133 in the first round, stopped short of confirming he would run again. Asked if there should be a fresh start at FIFA, he told Britain's Channel 4 News: "I'm willing to help."
Greg Dyke, chairman of the English Football Association and one of Blatter's most outspoken critics, said it was "good news for world football", but then questioned Blatter's motive.
"Who got him? Who shot him?" he asked. "I don't believe he went for any sort of moral basis so something has happened between then and now which means he has to resign."
New Zealand Football Chief Executive Andy Martin told Reuters that Blatter's resignation would help football rebuild its tattered reputation.
"This has lifted a cloud and taken away a lot of the concerns of stakeholders and their association with the sport," he said. "We now want a strong collaborative leader who can bring the football world together and can bring out the change that the game has been crying out for."
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which has been a staunch ally of Blatter, said on Wednesday it was monitoring the situation and would discuss internally the "best way forward for both FIFA and world football".
FIFA was stunned last week by the announcement of a US investigation into alleged widespread financial wrongdoing stretching back more than two decades. Swiss authorities also launched their own criminal probe into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, respectively.
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said Blatter's decision to step down was 'courageous' and would help prevent a split in FIFA.
While Blatter was not mentioned in the US or Swiss investigations, there had been widespread calls for him to quit, mostly from Western nations. Some major sponsors also expressed misgivings about the impact of the scandal.
Coca-Cola Co and Adidas welcomed Blatter's resignation. Another World Cup sponsor, South Korean carmaker Hyundai Motor, said the move was "a positive first step".
The US Justice Department and the US Attorney's office had no immediate comment. The office of the Swiss Attorney General, which is investigating alleged criminal mismanagement and money laundering at FIFA, said Blatter's resignation would have no effect on its proceedings. It said Blatter himself was not subject to its investigation.
New faces, fresh start
Besides Platini and Prince Ali, several other candidates may emerge in the election for a new president, including Domenico Scala, independent chairman of the audit and compliance committee of FIFA.
Former Brazil international Zico, 62, did not rule out a bid for the presidency, and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro suggested Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona could be the next FIFA chief.
European sports officials said Blatter's resignation was an important move, but that FIFA needed deeper changes. "Beyond the people, structural reforms must be undertaken," said French Sports State Secretary Thierry Braillard.
Kalusha Bwalya, Football Association of Zambia president and former African Footballer of the Year, said he was shocked. "The man has done a lot for FIFA," he said. "For Africa he was always there, he was always caring."
The investigation closed in on Blatter on Tuesday, when FIFA denied that his right-hand man, Secretary-General Jerome Valcke, was implicated in a $10 million payment relating to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa that is at the heart of the US case.
At the same time, a letter addressed to Valcke from the South African Football Association was published outlining the transaction.
Hours later FIFA called the emergency news conference and Blatter, who became FIFA secretary general in 1981 and president 17 years later, announced his decision.

Where have all the pallets gone, U.S. Postal Service officials sometimes wonder.
The Postal Service spends millions of dollars annually replenishing the supply of pallets, tubs, mailbags, and the like because so many get diverted to other uses each year. Pat Donahoe, USPS's COO, explained to the Mailers Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) recently that, sometimes, getting the pallets back is no easy matter.
He displayed the following photo from a major U.S. zoo to prove his point.

He eventually landed in Harlem, where he rose in the ranks of local politics and in 1989 he broke the color barrier for the city's highest office by defeating the three-term incumbent Mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat, in the primary and Republicanprosecutor Rudy Giuliani in the general election.
Dinkins ran on a platform promising to tackle the racial strife that had polarized the city, but during his term New York was plagued by a number of problems, including high crime, an economic recession and the AIDS epidemic.
But it was his handling the 1991 Crown Heights riot that would most define his time as mayor, and later become one of his chief regrets.
Giuliani, who would come back to defeat Dinkins in 1993, was among the first to pay tribute, saying on Twitter: "He gave a great deal of his life in service to our great City.
That service is respected and honored by all." New York's first African American Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement that Dinkins "lead with compassion and an unparalleled commitment to our communities...New York will mourn Mayor Dinkins and continue to be moved by his towering legacy.”

Time came when eyes looked into mine;
Large, soft brown eyes that seemed to shine
With intellect. Did I succumb?
Oh yes! for though the lips were dumb,
Those lovely eyes I deemed a prize.
Within their depths devotion shone,
And as they gazed into my own,
They seemed to say, "My love is thine.
Please let me know that I have thine."
And Oh! I knew his heart was true.
My arms his snowy neck entwined,
And I rejoiced a love to find
So worshipful, so constant, true.
How oft they've thrilled me through and through,
My collie's wise, large, soft brown eyes!
