Charges have been dropped against a Salem man who was twice arrested in connection to attempting to assault women at Minto-Brown Island Park Marion County Circuit Court Judge Audrey J Broyles on Friday granted Marion County District Attorney Paige Clarkson's motion for dismissal after it was determined David William Baynes Belluno lacked the mental capacity to stand trial and was unlikely to regain the ability The charges were related to two similar incidents with the most recent happening in January 2023 and the other in September 2018 The woman reported he shoved her off the walking path and tried to drag her into the bushes He held her by the wrists while she struggled and yelled for help he went back and forth between jail and the Oregon State Hospital as the court attempted to determine if he was fit to stand trial Belluno was diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability a history of trauma and diabetes that led to emotion regulation difficulties The case was dismissed in 2019 after a judge ruled he was unfit for trial and unlikely to regain that ability Court records show it was possible he could be returned to competency if OSH administered certain treatment but it was unlikely to do so unless ordered by the court which lacked the authority to direct the state hospital on how to specifically provide treatment to an individual defendant The charges were dismissed without prejudice In January 2023, Belluno was arrested in connection with a second attack at Minto-Brown Island Park A woman reported to police Belluno had attacked her while she was running in the park She said she had a "strange feeling" as she passed a man she didn't know carrying a longboard near the portable toilets and he turned to watch her She said he started following her and when she tried to go around an area with high water She kicked him in the stomach and face and he attempted to drag her by her foot but she kicked off her shoe and was able to stand up He walked off after saying he thought he had known her Belluno called 911 saying he was stuck in the water Officers rescued him and recognized his description A photo was shown to the woman and she confirmed he was the one who had attacked her The incident raised concerns in the community about the park's safety and how the legal system handles individuals with mental health issues with many taking to social media to express concerns Prosecutors filed charges related to the attack as well as new charges for the 2018 attack Belluno's attorneys again argued he was unfit to proceed and Belluno underwent repeated psychological evaluations at the state hospital it was ruled he required "hospital-level-of-care" and could remain at the state hospital for at most three years he was also ordered to receive legal education twice a week an OSH evaluator submitted a report alleging Belluno had no "substantial probability" of regaining capacity in the foreseeable future Prosecutors objected to the report and an evaluator contracted by the Marion County District Attorney was hired After the report from the state's evaluator reached the same findings again leaving them able to be re-filed later Marion County Deputy District Attorney Brendan Murphy said the state and defense negotiated "a resolution that dismisses the criminal case against Mr this is the best resolution possible within a constrained system," Murphy said in a statement to the Statesman Journal "I do not know the exact date of his release from the state hospital but effort was made to effectuate release directly to an appropriate facility." The Oregon State Hospital could not immediately be reached about whether Belluno has been released Isabel Funk covers breaking news and public safety for the Statesman Journal.

Due to delays caused by the Covid lockdown, the Italian authorities were unable to supply relevant documents requested by the British police, and so the painting was simply handed back to De Dozsa in 2020. Christopher Marinello, a specialist art lawyer, has tried repeatedly to persuade her to return it to its rightful owner. “It’s the right thing to do,” he said. But she has cited the Limitation Act 1980, which states that someone who buys stolen goods can be recognised as the legal owner if the purchase was “unconnected to the theft” after more than six years. Marinello said: “Her first argument was that when the British police gave her the painting back, they gave her good title. So I wrote to the police, and they sent her a formal letter saying ‘by no means do we convey title to the painting’.” Asked why the police did not just hand it back to Italy if it was stolen, he said: “It’s a good question. It just shows the failure of law enforcement to help the Italians out. The UK police said that this woman didn’t commit a crime, so we’re not going to treat it as a criminal matter. It’s a civil case.” Free daily newsletterOur morning email breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what’s happening and why it matters Read moreCarlo Cavalli of the museum wrote to her: “The fact that the painting has been given back to you doesn’t mean you have the title.” Marinello is the founder of Art Recovery International, which focuses on stolen or looted art and is based in London, Venice and New York. His previous recoveries include a Matisse painting that was stolen in 1987 from Stockholm’s Museum of Modern Art and whose whereabouts had been shrouded in mystery for 25 years until it surfaced in London. He believes there is a moral argument for De Dozsa to return the painting – particularly as he has understood from her that she does not even like it enough to hang it on her walls. He is not working for a fee and is driven only by a belief that it belongs to the people of Belluno, from where his own family originated. De Dozsa had argued that, as well as the cost of storage and insurance, she had to pay £6,000 in legal fees to resolve this problem. Marinello claimed he understood from her that if he could reimburse those fees she would return the painting. After securing permission from the Italian police, he found an insurance company that would donate the £6,000 – only for her to allegedly change her mind. He said: “Her husband could not have paid more than a couple of hundred back in 1973. It’s only worth maybe £60,000 to £80,000 now. She refuses to cooperate unless she gets paid the full value, but she can never sell the painting. No legitimate auction house will ever touch it … the Carabinieri have it on their database and will never take it off. As soon as that painting goes to Italy, it’s going to be seized.” Norfolk constabulary said: “Norfolk police have been advised by the UKCA [UK Central Authority] to release the painting to Mrs De Dozsa given several years have passed and there has been no response from Italian authorities in relation to the investigation. We have returned the painting but would not, as the police, return this in a judicial capacity in terms of awarding legal title to the painting.” The Winter Universiade returned to Italy for a third time in 1985, when the Games were held in Belluno, 10 years after Livigno and 19 years after Sestriere. After boycotts by the major nations at the two most recent Olympic Games – Moscow 1980 and Los Angeles 1984 – the XII Winter World University Games drew more than 538 athletes from 29 countries and four continents. At the Opening Ceremony held at the Piazza dei Martiri in the center of Belluno, athletes from the Soviet Union, United States, China and the Koreas marched together despite the political tension of the times that had cast a cloud over the Olympic world. Ignazio Lojacono, President of the Italian University Sports Centre (CUSI), hailed the spirit with which the Belluno Universiade was organised: “(The Universiade) must not be so much a matter of competition, but rather a festival of youth in which racial, ideological and religious differences are outweighed by cultural values that are united in common aspiration for peace,” he said. Lojacono’s sentiments were later echoed by Roger Roth, Chairman of the FISU International Technical Committee, who also recalled a few interesting episodes from Belluno. “It was a very impressive Opening Ceremony,” said the former Swiss skier. “Athletes from all over the world, from different political divides, marched in the city and exchanged pins. And it all happened in a public forum where locals could come and see.” “The night before the giant slalom competitions, some students stole the flags with the FISU “U” symbol and the competitions were postponed until the guilty parties returned them. In the end, nobody came forward and the flags were replaced with something else. I remember good Italian food and wine throughout the event, and the hospitality we received in the small family hotels.” © International University Sports Federation Condividi sui social network Social sharing is not available for non agreement to use of third-party cookiesnews10 luglio 2024IT alert new test simulating the collapse of a large dam in the Veneto RegionOn July 18 operations will involve the La Stua dam and the provinces of Treviso and Belluno(last update July 17 a test of the IT-alert public warning system simulating the collapse of a large dam will be performed in the Veneto Region It will primarily affect the Provinces of Treviso and Belluno The test will simulate the collapse of the La Stua dam and the test message will arrive on the switched-on and connected cell phones of residents located in the downstream municipalities that would be affected in a real emergency: the notification text that the affected population will receive will read as follows: TEST TEST IT-alert test message.

But one step away from direct salvation. The final rush begins, the salvation sprint and the coach chooses a cycling metaphor to describe what awaits his Geetit starting from this penultimate day of the A3 men's volleyball championship: it starts with Belluno, then it will be the turn of the away match in Acqui, before the salvation clash with Garlasco and the away match on the field of the league leaders Mantova. The schedule is complicated, but the rediscovered Geetit can compete with everyone: "Our focus is on Belluno, a tough opponent, but I am convinced that by batting well and with the confidence shown in the last few days we can compete. We must and can score points with everyone". Three are needed to continue the climb and the pursuit of salvation, hoping for a misstep by Brugherio in Cagliari that would allow the rossoblù to climb to the fifth-last place which is worth direct salvation and reabsorb Sarroch in the brawl, since the Sardinians will observe the rest day. Having returned from Cagliari on Sunday evening and observed a day of rest, Geetit had only one training session to prepare for the match: therefore, Listanskis and Aprile are unlikely to start as starters, as they are not at their best due to knee and back problems, but they will be available if called upon. Geetit needs another feat to crown the comeback to safety. The other races: Garlasco-Savigliano, Mantua-Motta di Livenza, Cus Cagliari-Brugherio, Salsomaggiore-Acqui Terme, San Donà di Piave-Mirandola. Rest: Sarroch. The ranking: Mantua 52; San Donà di Piave 44; Belluno 39; Motta di Livenza 37; Sarroch 33; Brugherio 27; Geetit Bologna 26; Garlasco 24; Mirandola 22; Salsomaggiore 18.

she knew the risks and was upset at the prospects of being so close to the spread of the virus primarily because her in-laws needed to return to Switzerland and offered their apartment in Belluno in exchange Graboyes and her family found the situation relatively quiet Graboyes described the situation as “devastation,” insisting that is the right word to use Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the governors of the Lombardy and Veneto provinces had begun calling the fight against the spread of the disease a “war.” Just as much is at stake and there is no other reasonable comparison,” she wrote to friends back in the United States in one of her monthly updates of her family’s life abroad been full of details about trips to Zanzibar for research the girls’ grasp of the Italian language widespread fireworks display on New Year’s Eve those lighter missives had given way to somber passages: “Life feels perilous and fragile and thus individual moments are now taking on greater weight and feel increasingly valuable.” the country enacted a strict quarantine on all 60 million citizens Graboyes felt waves of dread as cases were first reported in Seattle and California she was reliving the previous weeks of her life; she read the news stories and felt exactly the way she had while reading the news in Italy I felt like screaming because the response felt like it was happening in slow motion,” she says so slow to clearly message to the public about what they needed to do so slow to get testing capabilities online so slow to shift hospitals into an emergency situation so slow to acknowledge that this wasn’t just a bad flu She was prepared for an inadequate response in the United States; she was well aware of the history of underfunding of public health institutions such as the Centers for Disease Control and state-level public health offices she was shocked by some of the early mistakes made in the US—particularly at the CDC where personnel tried to make their own tests rather than adopt those already in use in other countries “I also found it really surprising that the US seemed to act like they had to discover all the steps of how to respond,” she adds Having lived the first weeks of the outbreak already she was frustrated about the COVID-19 response and that it seemed that “nothing was happening despite a lot of talking and planning.” and Management who was also in Milan during a sabbatical wrote a letter to university administration They felt desperate about what they were witnessing all around them and hoped that a letter drawing on their unique perspective would motivate the UO to act sooner than later “We didn’t doubt that smart people were involved or that they weren’t considering the right factors We just wanted them to move faster because we were seeing what was happening in Italy and it was utter destruction,” Graboyes says sent via email and outlining what they had seen and from their perspectives as experts was also addressed to family and friends on the monthly Italian update list In hours it was picked up by the Oregonian and Willamette Week the Wall Street Journal and other publications had contacted Graboyes to interview her about strategies to fight the virus “While I’m sure (Italian) government experts knew in late February and the first week of March how quickly things could get very bad the severity and gravity of the situation wasn’t clearly conveyed to the public,” Graboyes stresses This is the same mistake that was made in the US with constantly changing recommendations from the CDC and state-level health authorities “What the recommendation needed to be from the very beginning was: avoid people outside of your household if at all possible,” she says take appropriate protections: masks and gloves in addition to good hygiene and handwashing.” that covers the spectrum of COVID-19; it spells out the data depicting slices of life from a small apartment with two very energetic children—one of whom “likes to lick anything.” The weeks since late February have largely been a collection of endless days of bad news reports and brother-in-law became sick with the virus shortly after returning to Switzerland racked with fevers and relentless coughs for three weeks They recovered at home without hospitalization but Graboyes and her husband were deeply worried and felt helpless The movement restrictions in Italy prohibited leaving one’s town of residence Graboyes has a hard time calming her running mind They aren’t sure when they will return to Eugene They want to avoid returning to the US only to have to live through some of those same “Right now we have plane tickets for August,” she says “But I could envision a scenario where even at that point in time we may decide it’s safer to stay here than engage in that kind of travel she told her husband about how worried she was fearing that one of them would become sick and have to go to the hospital alone if there were even spaces available at the hospital The balcony has become the town well in Belluno: it’s the place where neighbors can talk to one another and exchange news and pass the gossip they’ve heard about new cases in town and while Graboyes’ neighbors aren’t singing opera to one another the balconies are where this community finds itself enough to keep going The family stays in pajamas late in the morning until it’s their turn to play outside in the shared garden space which is cleaned with bleach after each use Her husband leads their older daughter through the homework sent electronically by their Italian public school and then the other little girls come to their patio so they can talk,” Graboyes explains “They’ve got a pulley system with a bucket that runs between the patios and they trade toys back and forth On warm days they sit on the terrace and paint and chat.” “One day they counted how many times a man in our neighborhood ran by; the old restrictions allowed for solo physical exercise but you had to stay in your neighborhood so he was doing laps around the block,” she adds “It’s given us an opportunity to talk to our children about important things: our obligations to take care of others the sacrifices individuals sometimes need to make to protect other people who are more vulnerable how people can find many different ways of helping even if they aren’t nurses or doctors and the ingenuity and courage people show in difficult circumstances.” Graboyes sees this as a transformative moment for her children “It’s the kind of thing you remember for your entire life and it has the potential to shape the way you see yourself and your responsibilities to other people in this world,” she says “This is a terrible event to live through,” she adds “but I think it also has the potential to shape our kids in profoundly positive ways.” —Laurie Notaro is director of communications for the Clark Honors College uonews@uoregon.edu I imagine it happened that your incalculable and unspeakable pain slowly thawed like an enormous sheet of ice in your hearts Pope Francis expressed his sympathy to those who faced great sorrow for the 2,000 lives lost from the 1963 Landslide of Vajont Dam in northern Italy as he received a delegation from the Italian Diocese of Belluno-Feltre on Friday marking the 60-year anniversary of the tragedy a heavy burden of memory and suffering," the Holy Father acknowledged thanked them for their ability to start anew and called them "a wave of hope." a catastrophic wave swept away entire villages and hamlets claiming 1910 lives," the Pope observed "For you responded to that wave of annihilation and destruction with the courage of memory and reconstruction," he noted "I think of all the silent drops that formed this great wave of good: the rescuers the many who did not let themselves be imprisoned by grief and you are witnesses to these seeds of resurrection which may not make much headlines but are precious in the eyes of God the 'specialist in restarting,' He who from a tomb of death has started an eternal story of new life." "you did so much good without many words but with great commitment and concreteness you carefully rebuilt where neglect had caused destruction." several questions have been raised: "What caused the tragedy was not mistakes in the design or construction of the dam but the very fact of wanting to build a reservoir in the wrong place "for putting the logic of profit before care for humanity and the environment in which we live." the Pope appealed for proper care of Creation "I never tire of repeating that caring for Creation is not simply an ecological factor but an anthropological issue: it has to do with human life and it concerns the future of everyone and the global society in which we are immersed." “[ It concerns the future of everyone and the global society in which we are immersed.]” but "tremendous and destructive," he also recognized "in the case of Vajont," or "inaccessible to so many in the world today who suffer thirst or have no drinkable water." he urged the faithful to adopt the respectful gaze of Saint Francis "to recognise the beauty of creation," stop devastating the environment and "to collaborate fraternally in the development of life." "You do this," Pope Francis said "by preserving the memory and bearing witness to how life can rise again precisely there where everything had been swallowed up by death."  Thank you for reading our article.

collaboration of the professional Orders of Geologists is divided into two days of conference for professionals (June 29) and for citizens (June 30) The event takes its cue from memory of the two earthquakes which have historically affected the Belluno area: that of June 29 which with a magnitude of 6.3 caused destruction and damage attributable to the IX-X degree of the Mercalli-Càncani-Sieberg (MCS) Scale also causing the loss of 80 people and the earthquake of 18 October 1936 which caused damage of the IX degree of the MCS Scale In the two days the interventions of

target audience: more specific and technical topics for the June 29 programme dedicated to professionals day come on more popular content for June 30 dedicated to citizenship Earthquakes have a dramatic impact on people's lives local economies and our extraordinary cultural heritage cultural heritage and social cohesion in spite of a developed country like Italy with a prestigious scientific and technical tradition in the seismic prevention sector This apparent contradiction has its explanation in the lack of knowledge of risks and prevention a lack unfortunately present to varying degrees at all levels: from institutional governance to the population.  An effective response to future major earthquakes both in terms of prevention and seismic risk education even if we cannot predict them, we know that in the future there will be earthquakes such as those of 1873 and 1936 they will repeat. It is everyone's responsibility technicians and - last but not least - individual citizens to work together to minimize losses and damages At 4:38 local time on 29 June 1873 a very violent earthquake affected a vast area of ​​the Belluno area with destruction and damage.  The most

Un San Bastiano che par non li manchi se non il solo respiroAs part of the exhibition series "Bilder im Blickpunkt" (Paintings in Focus) the Gemäldegalerie directs its attention towards one of the main works of Paris Bordon a Treviso-born pupil of Titian: an altarpiece from the church Santa Maria dei Battuti in Belluno in the northern Veneto entitled "Madonna Enthroned with the Child and the Saints Roche acquired in 1821 as part of the Solly collection has been comprehensively restored during the past three years generously supported through the Getty Foundation Bordon's panel not only adds fresh splendour to Room XVI dedicated to Venetian painting of the 16th century but also enhances our understanding of style technique and issues of chronology within his oeuvre as it makes direct comparisons of his works possible One such interesting comparison is the large-scale "Sacra Conversazione" which he painted around the same time as the Belluno panel How modern Bordon's art appeared next to other contemporary works is evidenced particularly in the "Madonna Enthroned with Child" by Jacopo da Valenza from the church of San Pietro in Belluno Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Renowned photographer Bruno Zanzottera and anthropologist Elena Dak spent a year following a shepherding family and their flock across mountainous pastures. Words by Tom Levitt they move around various pastures in the Dolomites they take their flock of about 1,000 to the lowlands From the winter months until May they live in a caravan travelling around the countryside in the provinces of Venezia looking for harvest leftovers in unused fields Fabio drives his flock of 1,000 sheep through the Fochet pastures in the Belluno Dolomites They rent land in the mountains to graze their flock in the summer but for the rest of the year they move every day in search of landowners who will let them graze their animals in post-harvest fields Every day begins as an uncertain struggle to find land and food for their sheep that few Italians could imagine living today He has started to walk and enjoys following the flock with Fabio Alice milks the goats for fresh milk for him Fabio leads the flock along a road near the village of San Martino di Lupari The couple’s sheep are reared for their meat with the animals sold to an intermediary trader The wool has little value and is sold to the trader for a small fee while the milk is left entirely for the lambs Fabio and Alice have no plans to start selling their meat directly to consumers They prefer to live in the countryside and mountains and are happy to have a trader take care of the marketing and sale of their sheep There are 60–70 nomadic shepherds like Alice and Fabio living in Veneto a region in north-eastern Italian stretching from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Each family has a flock of about 1,000 sheep keeping a certain number of males and females each year to ensure they can replenish their flock without having to buy in new animals The couple, like many nomadic shepherds, do not have access to the billions of euros of EU farm subsidies given to landowners But they do hope one day to be able to obtain fields of their own for their sheep Fabio’s flock graze high in the Dolomites in summer In 1776 the architect Valentino Alpago-Novello fused together three buildings that faced onto Belluno’s main street creating the prestigious Palazzo Fulcis embellished with stucco decorations and paintings by Sebastiano Ricci with mythological subjects We have Alpago-Novello to thank not only for the unitary outer façade but also for the work done to the interior like the reception hall the large staircase leading to it and the layout of the rooms Currently the property of the Fondazione Cariverona which financed its restoration and functional upgrade starting at the end of January 2017 the palace will house the historic Belluno Civic Museum Management of the building was granted to the Municipality which will thus be able to display its collection in the nearly 3,000 square metres of the modernised facility The long restoration project was carried out by the Verona-based architecture studio Arteco with Luigi Calcagni responsible for the restoration and Antonella Milani for the museum design The principal museum upgrades and the vertical connectors were mostly concentrated in the west wing which was the area most tampered with over the course of the centuries while the original reception hall that is reached via the 18th-century staircase was made into a conference hall A careful restoration was also carried out in the internal courtyard and its portico where not only was the red Trento stone fully restored but new paths and exhibition areas were created using Castellavazzo stone The monumental complex is spread out over more than 3,000 square metres from the basement to the third floor divided into 24 rooms with different architectural characteristics that will house the rich collections of the Belluno Civic Museum and website in this browser for the next time I comment Abitare.it e Style.corriere.it rifiutando tutti i cookie di profilazione ad eccezione di quelli tecnici necessari Naviga il sito di Abitare.it con pubblicità profilata e senza abbonarti By subscribing you will reject all but technical cookies on Iodonna.it By clicking "accept" you will allow to process your personal data by us and third parties and be able to browse Abitare.it website without a subscription The Local Europe ABVästmannagatan 43113 25 StockholmSweden Please log in here to leave a comment
