“ORTA NOVA SOUND LAB” FROM ORTA NOVA (PUGLIA) ON “BROADWAY WORLD,” NEW YORK, by LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA SOURCE: https://www.broadwayworld.com/italy/article/Orta-Nova-Sound-Lab-Launches-Youth-Community-Band-in-Southern-Italy-20260928?fbclid=IwY2xjawUnzKtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mAWJyaWQRMHZzU2xWWTdTNU5UMDFNY1lzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeKFYDfacdBYHnYGZu4M9ZmxOT_wnVa7M53_p_1yfAmpSZSvn3ZDHF-BXqMr4_aem_Jd46xeSFwcUn5qapLvtu8w “Orta Nova Sound Lab Launches Youth Community Band in Southern Italy” The season includes free training with instrumental workshops for winds and percussion, ensemble lessons, and more. By: Chloe Rabinowitz ‘Orta Nova Sound Lab’, a new community music project in Puglia, southern Italy, is creating a brand-new youth-driven community band through free instrumental training, ensemble workshops and a season of live performances. Promoted by the ‘Associazione Nazionale Bande da Giro (ANBG)’ and funded by the Italian Ministry of Culture, it reimagines the brass band tradition as a tool for inclusion, cultural growth and social regeneration. Since the Italian government’s 2023 “Caivano Decree” (Decree-Law 123/2023), which targeted youth distress, educational poverty and juvenile crime, attention has turned to communities in Southern Italy where culture, education and public space can be rebuilt together. Orta Nova, in the Puglia region, is part of that broader conversation as ‘Orta Nova Sound Lab’ replying to local Mafia with music: a “social laboratory” that connects young people, schools, associations and institutions around a shared, tangible goal, a band of their own. It is the first initiative of its kind in Italy, to repurpose the distinctive tradition of the ‘touring brass bands’ and youth orchestra within a ministerial call devoted to urban peripheries and social vulnerability. Its explicit aim is to offer young people a real alternative to the screen and to the youth disenfranchisement associated with the anti-mafia “Caivano model”. The project was presented on September 21 at Luca ed Erminio Ferrandina C-Lab MAO facility and is funded under the Ministry of Culture’s public call for the promotion of musical practices in suburban and socially Mafia-rooted vulnerable areas, and it is supported by the Municipality of Orta Nova. Project partners include the cultural association APS MAO FM 19.77, the “A. Olivetti” secondary school, the “Sandro Pertini” comprehensive school, the Music Art association and C.I.S.A. Foggia. At the heart of the project is a simple idea: give young people a reason to be together, in person, making something real. “A music band is aggregation!,” said Antonella Spagnoletti, ANBG project director. She explained that the band means cohesion, and that bringing young people together to train and live differently from the social-media world is among the association’s primary goals. Mayor Domenico Di Vito called it an important project that can make a real difference, with all the ingredients to connect the town’s cultural and social networks with anti-mafia roots. He added that the administration is committed to making the initiative sustainable, structured and lasting. The presentation also involved Benedetto Grillo, president of ANBG; Grazia Maria Starace, regional councillor; Sebastiano Battista, councillor for relations with third-sector organizations; Vittoria Mastrogiacomo, councillor for culture; and Alfredo Coppola, representing the Olivetti school. Journalist Giuseppe Di Bisceglie moderated. The season ahead: Free training: instrumental workshops for winds and percussion, ensemble lessons and rehearsals led by qualified teachers and conductors, open to aspiring musicians, families, schools and citizens. October: a parade of marching bands and youth orchestra through the streets of Orta Nova, Puglia, southern Italy. November-December: concerts by the Gran Concerto Bandistico di Conversano and the Gran Concerto Bandistico “Biagio Abbate” of Bisceglie, giving the young musicians a chance to learn from professional ensembles. A special evening of women’s music with the all-female Orchestra Note di Puglia, reinforcing the project’s values of inclusion and equal opportunity. January 2027: the first concert of the new Orta Nova community band. In particular, ‘Orta Nova Sound Lab (Community Band and Social Regeneration through Music)’ is a project of the ‘Associazione Nazionale Bande da Giro (ANBG),’ a national association of bands active across south-Italians regions like Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise and Puglia. Funded by the Italian Ministry of Culture and supported by the Municipality of Orta Nova, it offers free music education and live performance opportunities to strengthen inclusion, cultural growth and community cohesion.

Ik ben toch wel een beetje verbaasd: Ik weet zeker dat ik 1 keer #Covid19 heb doorgemaakt. Iedereen op de basisschool was toen ziek en ik had de toch wel klassieke hoofdpijn die ik normaal nooit had en die alleen reageerde op aspirine. Dat hoorde ik ook van andere mensen. Ik ben toen twee dagen echt wel belabberd geweest, maar nog steeds niet zo ziek als dat ik was met de griep: dat heb ik een keer als kind doorgemaakt en een keer toen ik rond de 17 was. Verder heb ik een keer een forse bacteriële infectie aan een spatader gehad, waarvan ik veel zieker was dan van Covid-19. Koorts tot bijna 41 graden en niet meer kunnen ophouden met rillen en de trap niet meer kunnen opkomen. That's about it. Daarna heb ik het mogelijk nog een keer doorgemaakt: een dag of wat wat snotterig en niet helemaal lekker. Ook toen ging het rond in het dorp. Die laatste keer is in 2022 of 2023 geweest, denk ik. Daarna nooit meer ziek geweest. Zelfs niet verkouden. Met al mijn risicofactoren. En sinds meer dan een jaar zeer frequent in het ziekenhuis, en ja, ook bij Covid-19 patiënten. Niet gevaccineerd. En ik zie hier toch weer de een na de andere figuur die wél gevaccineerd is voor de zoveelste keer echt ziek worden. Zouden die mensen diep in hun hart nog steeds denken dat het anders allemaal nog veel erger zijn geweest? Echt? #Covid19 #gezondheid #vaccinatie

LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA: ACADEMIC BOOK REVIEW OF"LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS (LSE)" PUBLISHED BY THE"PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS" SOURCE: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/luciano-magaldi-sardella-academic-book-review-school-sardella-ph-d--bsvse/ LUCIANO MAGALDI SARDELLA'S LITERARY–ACADEMIC REVIEW LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS (LSE) PUBLISHED BY PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS I am delighted to share a piece of news that marks a meaningful moment in my trajectory as an academic literary reviewer for the London School of Economics (LSE). My review of the volume Crisis Cycle: Challenges, Evolution, and Future of the Euro, published by Princeton University Press, has been included among the assessments cited on the book’s official webpage. To find myself placed alongside distinguished commentators such as John H. Cochrane, Luis Garicano, and Klaus Masuch prompts further reflection on how much ground remains to be covered in aspiring to emulate their exemplary scholarly standards. John H. Cochrane’s book confronts a question of considerable consequence for Europe’s future: can the euro truly endure in its present form? In my review for the LSE Review of Books, I sought to convey the full complexity of this challenge, which I regard as central for economists, policymakers, and scholars of European integration.

Piccola lezione per i no vax Visto che lo ripetete tutti in massa: se era vaccinato, perché si è ammalato? Perché il vaccino non è un muro. Non è uno scudo magico che tiene virus e batteri fuori dal vostro corpo. Essere vaccinati non vuol dire che un virus o un batterio non possa mai entrarvi. Vuol dire che il sistema immunitario è già pronto a riconoscerlo e a combatterlo. A seconda del vaccino, può impedire l’infezione, impedire la malattia oppure renderla molto meno grave. In alcuni casi la malattia si sviluppa lo stesso, anche in forma seria, perché la difesa immunitaria non basta. Succede molto meno spesso nei vaccinati. Ed è proprio per questo che quei casi finiscono sui giornali: sono l’eccezione, non la regola. Non tutti i vaccini funzionano nello stesso modo. Quello contro il morbillo, con due dosi, protegge molto bene dalla malattia. Quello contro la difterite fa una cosa diversa: prepara gli anticorpi a neutralizzare la tossina prodotta dal batterio. Il batterio può anche arrivare, ma trova un organismo pronto a difendersi. Molti vaccini riducono anche la possibilità di infettarsi e di passare l’infezione agli altri. Non la azzerano quasi mai. La riducono. Ed è qui che entra quella cosa che chiamate immunità di massa senza sapere cosa vuol dire. È la cosiddetta immunità di gregge. Non significa che siamo tutti vaccinati per legge. Significa che quando abbastanza persone sono protette, un virus o un batterio fa molta più fatica a passare da una persona all’altra. La malattia diventa rara e in certi casi può smettere di circolare in un intero Paese. Se poi torna da fuori e trova abbastanza persone non protette, ricomincia a circolare. Poi ci sono gli effetti avversi. Esistono, nessuno lo nega. Esistono anche per la Tachipirina che ingoiate al primo mal di testa. Esistono per l’aspirina, che può rovinarvi lo stomaco. Esistono per gli antibiotici, che vi fate dare al primo raffreddore convinti che servano, quando il raffreddore è causato da virus e l’antibiotico non li tocca nemmeno. Quelli li prendete senza pensarci un secondo. Nessuno di voi si sveglia la mattina terrorizzato dalla Tachipirina. Il punto è il confronto. Il rischio di un effetto avverso serio da vaccino è piccolissimo. Il rischio della malattia vera è molto più grande. Non è una questione di opinioni. Sono numeri. E c’è un’altra cosa che non considerate. La cura non è un interruttore, acceso o spento. Non è che ti ammali, ti curi e sei a posto. A volte la diagnosi arriva tardi. A volte la cura non funziona. A volte la malattia lascia danni che restano per sempre, anche quando ne esci vivo. Il vaccino agisce prima. La cura arriva dopo, quando i danni possono essere già cominciati e non sempre si torna indietro. La faccio breve, perché siete no vax e fate fatica a leggere: un vaccino non deve costruire una barriera magica intorno al vostro corpo per funzionare. Deve preparare il sistema immunitario prima che arrivi la malattia. Può impedirvi di ammalarvi, rendere molto più difficile la circolazione dell’infezione o, se vi ammalate lo stesso, evitare che la malattia diventi grave. Facile, semplice, lineare. Direi a prova di no vax, se non mi fossi scontrato con qualcuno di voi particolarmente idiota. #Vaccini #ImmunitàDiGregge #SalutePubblica

L'Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament (ANSM) a signalé des difficultés d'approvisionnement des comprimés d'aspirine gastro-résistants de Pfizer, utilisés pour prévenir les troubles cardiovasculaires, qui devraient persister jusqu'au début de 2027 en raison de problèmes de production. #Aspirine #Pfizer #Santé

Aspiring autocrats and authoritarians often seek to marginalize not just the law but also courts. Perhaps US Supreme Court has maneuvered in hopes of avoiding it. The problem is that it has wildly empowered Trump, and betrayed core constitutional values https://t.co/nI3TKFgFub #SupremeCourt #Authoritarianism #ConstitutionalValues #US

Io da un medico di cui ho fiducia, e per fortuna ne esistono ancora, mi faccio curare eccome. Ma da uno come questi, che si spaccia per uomo di scienza MAI. E non parlo di incompetenza, anche se di quella ce n'è in abbondanza. Parlo del fatto che questi piazzisti usano la paura della morte come clava per difendere solo interessi economici. Io da questa "scienza" non mi faccio prescrivere NEMMENO UN'ASPIRINA. E non è sfiducia. È che questi la scienza non la praticano: la rivendono. E chi rivende non cura: fa semplicemente business. Continuino pure a sperare che mi venga un male, l'unica cosa che provano è la loro meschinità. Se oggi hanno la libertà di scrivere certe schifezze senza conseguenze, non è per merito. È solo perché hanno qualche santo in paradiso che li protegge. Perché se dipendesse dalla loro credibilità, dalla loro etica, dalla loro onestà intellettuale, sarebbero già stati rinnegati. Ma tranquilli: il tempo mette tutti al proprio posto. Anche i piazzisti in camice bianco. #Scienza #Salute #Etica

V podcastu moderovaném pediatrem Cyrilem Děckařem sdílí MUDr. Jan Richter užitečné rady, jak rozpoznat příznaky infarktu a poskytnout první pomoc do příjezdu sanitky, přičemž zdůrazňuje význam lipoproteinu A jako genetického rizika, správné užívání aspirinu a varuje diabetiky před možným bezpříznakovým průběhem infarktu. #infarkt #prvnípomoc #zdraví

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump is kerngezond volgens zijn lijfarts Sean Barbabella, na een routinematige medische controle waarbij zijn hart, ogen en longen normaal functioneerden, hoewel er een lichte zwelling in zijn onderbenen en blauwe plekken op zijn hand werden opgemerkt, wat te wijten zou zijn aan frequent handen schudden en aspirinegebruik. #Trump #gezondheid #President

Raportul medical recent publicat despre Donald Trump, efectuat în urma controalelor anuale de rutină, evidențiază starea sa de sănătate excelentă la vârsta de 79 de ani, deși include și recomandări preventive precum o dietă echilibrată și activitate fizică sporită, în timp ce o vânătaie persistentă pe mâna dreaptă este atribuită strângerilor de mână frecvente și administrării de aspirină pentru prevenția bolilor cardiovasculare. #DonaldTrump #sanatate #raportmedical
