the State has delivered on another commitment made to citizens
At the opening ceremony for the new ‘Pino Daniele’ centre
we announced that the Government’s work in Caivano was by no means over
the second phase of the redevelopment and urban regeneration programme that has been carried out over the last 15 months got underway
with individuals convicted of Camorra-related crimes being evicted from illegally occupied homes in the Parco Verde area
I would like to thank the Prefecture of Naples
the police forces and all the operators who were involved in today’s operation
which is a decisive step towards giving dignity back to the decent and honest citizens of Caivano
Thanks also to a synergy between public and private sectors
we are already working towards achieving our next goal
which is to redevelop the properties in the Parco Verde area
and then replicate that model in all the other areas like Caivano in Italy
but it is what Italians are expecting of us

Caivano has sued a group of parents for defamation
Harrison Malkin, Associate Producer | May 25, 2023 | Education, More Issues
librarian Roxana Russo Caivano started receiving emails from parents about the library collection at Roxbury High School
she received her first “book challenge.” In January
she got a challenge for a book that has made national news
“Everybody on the committee read the book and that committee decided that ’Gender Queer’ would stay on the shelf,” Caivano said
“Gender Queer” is the second-most challenged book in the nation, according to an investigation by The Washington Post
the “majority of the 1,000-plus book challenges analyzed by The Post were filed by just 11 people,” according to the investigation
Caivano said she was called “vile names” by members of the Roxbury community after defending the place of “Gender Queer” in the school library. Caivano has sued a group of parents — some of whom have now become national, conservative media celebrities — for defamation
Caivano is represented in the case by her husband
the Roxbury Township Board of Education met again to discuss the standing of “Gender Queer” in the library
both urging the board to remove “Gender Queer” and calling on members to oppose such bans
NJ Spotlight News spoke to Caivano before Tuesday’s meeting about the book
NJ Spotlight News: Can you tell us about the book “Gender Queer”
Roxana Russo Caivano: “Gender Queer” is a memoir
and details what Maia went through in their life from the time they were young and into adulthood
such as their questions with sexuality and just not knowing where they fit in life
the individuals in question are objecting to some of the pictures that are in the book
But “Gender Queer” has won numerous awards
It’s won the American Library Association’s Alex Award
which is an award given to a book that started out as an adult-level book
but they felt that it was appropriate for young adults
that’s when I purchased it for my library
NJSN: How important would you say it is for students to be reading and learning from a diverse set of literature
reading a book like this might change someone’s life
if they’re unable to connect with an adult and learn about other experiences that are out there
why I exist in the library — to be able to put books in the hands of the kids who need them
There are kids who don’t know where to turn that might not have an adult that they could talk to openly and freely
Coming to the library might be the only place where they can get this information
They might not have the money to go to a bookstore to buy the book or it might just not be available to them
They might not be able to get to the public library
Sometimes the school library is the only place where these kids have access to books
Being able to put that book in someone’s hands who might need it
that’s everything to me and even if it helps one student
NJSN: I think I can understand as a parent
being maybe fearful of a book or perhaps not letting your kid read a book that you disagree with
but why do you think this push has happened where people don’t want other people’s kids to read certain books
RRC: That’s the thing that boggles my mind the most
I don’t think anyone has the right to tell anyone else what they can do
I might be perfectly fine with my child reading this book and if my kids were in high school
I would be 100% fine with them reading this book
No one has the right to tell my children what they can and can’t read
If they don’t want their children to read this book
I have no issues with people not taking this book out
no one has taken this book out of my library
It’s been in the library — I think I purchased it in the summer of 2020 — and no one has checked it out
I keep saying I’ve got 20,000 volumes in my library
there are 19,999 others that you can choose from
NJSN: I wonder if this type of situation in the community increases the possibility of bullying or marginalizing certain students
RRC: I haven’t noticed anything like that
What I have heard from the adviser of our LGBTQ club in our school was that they’re just happy knowing that books like this exist in the library
They like walking into the library and seeing themselves in the books
We talk about books being windows and mirrors
and to be able to see yourself in a book is a really important thing for a teenager
NJSN: How much of this (in terms of book banning) is a New Jersey issue and how much of it is a nationwide issue
I know several librarians who have had this book and others challenged in New Jersey
I go to a lot of librarian conferences and for the past couple of years
this has been the main issue that everyone’s talking about
It’s so scary that this is happening in this day and age
that people want to take books off the shelf

The right-hand man to Dave Wyndorf in MONSTER MAGNET for over 25 years
guitarist Phil Caivano freely admits he's more comfortable working off to the side or in the background
Caivano has handled album productions for AGNOSTIC FRONT
had a tour of duty with New York hardcore legends MURPHY's LAW and even had a stint in the early '90s on a major label with his thrash band
Yet a solo album never entered Caivano's mind until
the pandemic brought life to a halt and opened up the creative vaults
Caivano's aptly-named self-titled album is everything you would imagine it to be from someone who has been so embedded in hard
The album is a highly effective exercise in no-frills and no-excess rock
pulling from his primary influences of THE RAMONES
MOTÖRHEAD and THE STOOGES for ten songs that get in and get out
It received the seal of approval from Wyndorf and many of those who have crossed paths with Caivano in his 40-plus years in the music business
Blabbermouth: You've been a producer and musician on many projects but never did a solo album until this year
And how did you fare being in charge of everything
I've been around some great producers my whole career
I know I can play guitar; I know I can play bass
I'm not so sure I can 'sing.' [Laughs] I'm not so sure about this thing called 'vocals.' My arrangements are pretty simple
I wanted to complete it as I started to get into it
It's not what I want to do.' As I started getting into it
I never thought to do a solo or side project
I was never interested in doing that because I've always been happy working with Dave
I've always been happy being the guitar player in MONSTER MAGNET for the last quarter of a century
I felt the time was right and enjoyed doing it."
Blabbermouth: Did you share any songs with Dave while you were working on the album
but Dave and I have these insane conversations
I did talk to him a lot during the process
Send me something!' I wanted to send him something when I finished
because of the isolation factor and where we were then
whatever it may be.' When it came time to do the vocals
who happens to be one of the greatest singers in rock
Blabbermouth: How did it feel jumping back into lead vocals after three decades
The last time you did them was when you were in BLITZSPEER
I've gotten in front of the mic with some bands I've worked with
but I've never taken upon since the BLITZSPEER days lead vocal activity
It was interesting because I hadn't done it in so long
I remember I did put on a BLITZSPEER record to hear
I can do some of the things I did back then
People have to remember that vocalists age
Very few can do what they did in their younger years
We've been lucky to see some great performers and vocalists in music history
When you look at what some of these bands did in their late teens and twenties and are doing in their fifties and sixties and some in their seventies now
plug in an amp and plug in a pedal and it's relatively the same as when I started making music
Dave really coached me through a lot of stuff
Blabbermouth: Was the idea for the solo album to make a distillation of the rock
The best part is that all the songs get to the point right away
I've been really fortunate to be around a lot of different scenes
All this great music was on the radio and I'd hang with my friends' older brothers and listen to records
I remember sneaking into my friends' brothers' rooms in the early '70s
What is that record?' I loved being around the punk rock
I can drive there in 25 minutes from where I'm sitting now
I'd go where Jonny Z [Zazula] sold records at the Route 18 flea market
I remember Jonny back then and going to parties with the metal scene
It was another scene bubbling up In my backyard."
Blabbermouth: The one album you did in BLITZSPEER
That was when major labels were still investing in new metal bands
Phil: "We did a live record [1990's 'Live']
That was a really interesting time in New York
I don't think the New York bands could have competed with Seattle
When we break it down as fans and historians
The major labels in New York tried to do what was going on
[Laughs] There was no Kurt Cobain [NIRVANA] or Kim Thayil [SOUNDGARDEN]
ALICE IN CHAINS] first time in New York City
'Where did that guy come from?' Where did that guitar player come from
Our contemporaries in BLITZSPEER were CIRCUS OF POWER
But the major labels didn't let us be ourselves
but I think the bands that came out of the New York scene
If they let us be who we are and who we were at the time
maybe something more would have flourished
Another band that came out from that area was QUICKSAND
It was an honor to be part of a band making a record for a major label."
Blabbermouth: Returning to what we talked about with your solo album
[Laughs] I like to make things happen behind the scenes
We tried to do something.' We were looking for a singer and we were looking for another guitar player
I could do a Lemmy [Kilmister] gravel-throated thing
If a guy could play 'Ace Of Spades' and 'Metropolis'
Blabbermouth: MONSTER MAGNET was on a major when you joined in 1998
Did that make you reluctant at all to join the band because of your experiences earlier in the decade
Phil: "I had moved to Los Angeles to pursue production
taking something apart and helping someone put it together
it wasn't the major label thing I was reluctant about
'You're asking me?' I was at a lot of shows
the history of the band starting with 'Spine Of God'
'Why do you want me to join?' It's funny — even though I was initially reluctant
I knew I had to figure out how to get back to New Jersey to do it as soon as I processed everything since I was here in Jersey for the holidays
'He really asked me to join the band?' What that looked like at the time
it just sounded almost like a Charlie Brown teacher
'I have to think about this.' A couple of days went by and Dave called me
'You got three weeks to decide what you want to do.' After that phone call
Dave and I had a great conversation where we said that no matter what happens
we will remain friends because we have known each other for so long
'I want my old friend with me along for the ride
Who knows how long this will last?' When I hung up the phone
I decided I was going to do it and I needed to get my ass back to New Jersey."
Blabbermouth: Would you consider doing shows as a solo artist
I will.' It's looking like it will make sense
a group of guys and I have some on my mind
That's what thing about being such good friends with Mr
Wyndorf is that he's giving me his blessing to do whatever I want
To have that from my bandmate and friend because I know certain situations like this can cause friction
I know many bands and guys in bands that have done solo projects and side projects
They want to do something so drastically different than what they're known for to get this cred or respect or whatever it may be
I feel fortunate that I don't need to do that
There was a period doing this where I thought
'This guitar part sounds so much like MONSTER MAGNET.' My friend goes
'You've been the guitar player for MONSTER MAGNET for 25 years
Maurizio Patriciello has had police protection since a bombing near his church in Caivano
Father Maurizio Patriciello is running late
“I’m waiting for my bodyguards,” he says by text message
He is neither a celebrity nor a politician but a parish priest in Caivano
crime-ridden town on the outskirts of Naples
He has been living under police protection ever since a bomb
accompanied by the message “get out of our way”
The threat was the Camorra’s response to Patriciello’s unrelenting battle against the mafia organisation’s illegal dumping of toxic waste across farmland in the Campania region of southern Italy
he persevered with his mission: to fight crime and delinquency in a poor community that until last summer had long been neglected by the state
at San Paolo Apostolo church and settles on a pew by the altar
which is bedecked with a huge nativity scene
where some of his parishioners have unwittingly become drug mules for the mafia
View image in fullscreenFather Patriciello is shown to an armoured car parked in front of his church
Photograph: Roberto Salomone/The Guardian“They get paid €50 to deliver a package
and the response is always: ‘This way my children eat,’” he says
“These abandoned districts – like the banlieues of Paris – are deliberately planned and wanted
a closed-off society that creates its own language
something bad did happen and the state took notice.”
created in 1980 as what was intended to be a temporary home for thousands of people made homeless by the devastating Irpinia earthquake
was put under the spotlight in August after the alleged repeated gang rapes of two girls aged nine and 11
The girls, who are cousins, were allegedly abused by a group of 15, 13 of them boys. Two of the suspects are the sons of alleged mafia bosses. Some of the alleged rapes took place in an abandoned sports complex in Parco Verde, an area in Caivano considered to be the most prominent in Europe for drug dealing
coming to light only because videos of the rapes were shared online and eventually ended up with the police
“The girls were not raped by a paedophile in his 50s; they were raped by a group of boys – children like themselves … and it did not happen just once: this violence occurred for months,” says Patriciello
Knowing he was risking the wrath of the crime gangs ruling the neighbourhood
the priest once again put his head over the parapet and wrote to Italy’s prime minister
including an apartment containing an illegal puppy farm and cages filled with exotic animals
The initiative marked the first stage of what Meloni described as her rightwing government’s quest to “make citizens feel the state’s presence”
“Her quick response left me really stunned,” says Patriciello
“I had met [the former prime ministers] Matteo Renzi and Giuseppe Conte
but the difference with Meloni is that she really took the situation in hand.”
Caivano has since become the government’s template for its pledge to rescue Italy’s long-deprived neighbourhoods
Police numbers in the town have significantly increased
with three safety commissioners tasked with overseeing the district’s rehabilitation
The local council was dissolved and 18 people arrested for alleged mafia infiltration and corruption
Work to revive the sports centre has begun after the government unlocked €30m (£25m) in funding
making it easier to arrest and imprison children as young as 14
the leader of the centre-left opposition Democratic party
has criticised the law for focusing too much on “repression” and not enough on prevention
View image in fullscreenA used goods vendor decorating his street stand in Parco Verde
Photograph: Roberto Salomone/The GuardianPatriciello is impressed by Meloni’s approach and apparent commitment
but says much more needs to be done than putting more police on the streets
“Not even a packet of drugs has been dealt
as the streets are being tightly patrolled,” he says
this alone is not enough to resolve the problems here – for example
We have three social workers but need at least 20 for such a vast and complex place.”
“The last few funerals I have done have all been deaths from tumours, including my nephew,” he says. Patriciello’s sister-in-law also died of cancer last year. “Not long ago, I did the funeral of a woman whose daughter was in the front pew wearing a headscarf. I looked at the coffin and knew that within a year I would be doing her daughter’s funeral too. She died the other day.”
Good things happen in Caivano, too, the priest says, such as the recent graduation of a sociology student – although the fact that this was news speaks volumes about the state of education locally. “This would be normal for a girl in Milan or Venice, but for us it isn’t. But when a good thing happens here, it is worth a thousand times more than when it happens elsewhere.”
It is common for the mafia to retreat when security is tightened in its strongholds, with clans waiting for the state to shift its focus elsewhere before resuming business.
Caivano’s problems are deeply entrenched, but Patriciello is hopeful that the events of recent months can usher in a brighter future.
“Caivano has become a symbol,” he says. “But it could also now be a guiding light for all marginalised societies in Italy.”

As Resa Caivano chopped homegrown zucchini and Swiss chard in the kitchen

Resa recently invited her Uber driver to dinner when the East Coast transplant sounded homesick
“He says he comes when he needs to feel grounded,” says Resa
dinner is a collaborative endeavor where people contribute wine

Terry R. MyersFeatures20 March 2015
I could argue that Varda Caivano has in productive and meaningful ways been painting versions of the same painting – her painting – ever since I first met her in 2002
soon after she had started the MA in Painting course at the Royal College of Art
and I had begun a two-year stint there as visiting professor of painting
I am looking at the small takeaway card she produced for the RCA’s degree show in 2004
On the front is an image of one of her paintings from that exhibition; on the reverse her name
email address (now changed) and mobile number (still the same)
Anyone who has paid attention to Caivano’s work over the past decade would immediately recognise this painting as hers
2004 (it was included in her 2006 Kunstverein Freiburg exhibition)
Painted in oil (she would switch to acrylic for two years while pregnant)
it pieces together what can be best described as moments of muted colours (blues
purples and several browns) to make a roughly ovoid shape that takes up all but the left and bottom edges of the canvas
It presents itself as a contemplative accumulation of gentle contradictions
as it is somehow as clear about its ambiguity as it is equivocal about its clarity
fully present yet perpetually in a state of becoming (she’s very
very good at putting down paint that appears material and ethereal all at once)
the landscape and/or the body while being all and none of those things itself
I remember that the paintings from the beginning had achieved a level of continuity that is not common even in the work of strong painting students (if only because too many people
At first because my conversations with Caivano between 2004 and 2006
each time very much not picking up from wherever we left off
but instead retracing steps from our prior conversations to enter into the new work at hand
I do remember that the paintings from the beginning had achieved a level of continuity that is not common even in the work of strong painting students (if only because too many people
evidence of her early commitment to a level of focus and a type of simmering development that has served her work very well ever since
Then there is the way in which Caivano regularly describes her paintings
most recently in The Independent: ‘I think the paintings are like thoughts.’ Put another way; thinking about thoughts is
On the occasion of her first solo exhibition in the United States
at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago
Caivano has been given prime real estate to introduce her painterly thinking to a meaningful conversation that has been taking place in Chicago for – as of 2015 – a century
Not known these days for being particularly painting-friendly in its programming
the Renaissance Society nonetheless provides Caivano an ideal think-tank for her work: situated at the end of one of the floors of architect Henry Ives Cobb’s 1892 Gothic Revival building that was modelled after those at Oxford
it is one of the most transporting and transformative exhibition spaces in the city
she was reticent to identify precisely what she was planning to include
other than that it would be a new body of work: mixed-media paintings
collage and – tantalisingly – a new piece of writing
I was prepared for her reticence because I recognise it as a part of her thought process
a necessary part of what it takes for her to hold the work as open as possible
It is ideal that the exhibition will open in February and close in April as Chicago – hopefully – transitions from winter to spring
It is impossible not to consider nature as a language that Caivano uses and deliberately holds open in her work by way of the tried-and-true components of painting: shape
‘Caivano’s paintings neither represent nature nor put the artist in its place
and yet they remind us of nature.’ I would add that Caivano’s paintings
with one of my favourite lyrical questions: Morrissey’s “Nature is a language – can’t you read?” Caivano’s paintings frequently come across as having been brought right up to the point of nameability as only a thing in and of itself
2014) appears as if it’s on the verge of representing a particular landscape or place: numerous discrete areas of different blues-to-purples occupy most of the bottom two-thirds of the canvas
One area of green has been placed at the work’s horizontal midpoint
echoing a larger fully exposed area in the upper right corner as well as more of it that emerges from behind layers of other colours (including bits of red and yellow) across the entire top of the canvas
At this point my inadequate description makes the painting sound as if it were abstract; however
the inclusion of one painted line that runs vertically down the entire canvas disrupts it and keeps it from becoming an image of a landscape by reasserting the entire thing as nature itself – that is
the painting as nature that is (always) a language
she did convey to me that she considers the new work for Chicago as constituting “a third moment”
describing to me her desire to attain a certain level of complexity between drawing and painting (including
writing as well) by incorporating drawing more directly into the paintings
Her plan is to have everything as different as possible: media
positions (at Tomio Koyama in Kyoto in 2009 she placed unstretched canvases on the floor in front of paintings on the wall)
all coming together by way of the consistency and variation of her pictorial thoughts to transform her third moment into many more moments for the rest of us
The first US solo exhibition of work by Varda Caivano is on view at the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago through 19 April.

The Chamber of the Chamber has definitively approved the decree containing urgent measures to combat youth hardship
as well as for the safety of minors in the digital environment
The text is made up of 16 articles and provides
thanks to a government amendment in the passage to Palazzo Madama regarding supervision of the fulfillment of compulsory education
more significant sanctions for parents who do not take care of their children's compulsory education
Provisions are then introduced for verifying the age of majority for accessing pornographic sites
the measures for the strengthening of cybersecurity
for the establishment of the observatory on the suburbs and for the strengthening of the administrative capacity of the municipality of Caivano were approved
Stop the use of PCs and cell phones for young people responsible for violence between the ages of 14 and 18
but in the presence of more serious conduct also for those between 12 and 14 years old
with article 4 the penalties are toughened for the crimes of illegal carrying of weapons and instruments capable of offending
while with article 6 the regulation of the juvenile criminal trial is modified in matters of precautionary and precautionary measures
Article 8 deals with the re-education process of the minor
The new provision provides that in the case of crimes punished with a prison sentence not exceeding a maximum of five years or with a financial penalty
alone or combined with the aforementioned penalty
the public prosecutor may order and notify the minor of a request for early settlement of the proceedings
article 9 modifies legislative decree number 121 of 2018
regulating the execution of sentences against minors
and establishing that the over-twenty-year-old prisoner interned in a juvenile penal institution for crimes committed by a minor can be transferred to an institution prison for adults
if he is responsible for behavior that causes disturbance of order and safety in the juvenile institution
or uses violence or threats or even generates a state of subjugation in other prisoners
The intervention also applies to prisoners over the age of eighteen who adopt similar behaviors
there is room for the possibility of transferring to an adult prison a prisoner who has reached the age of twenty-one and is serving a sentence in an institution for minors for crimes committed before reaching the age of majority
whose conduct is incompatible with needs for order and safety within the juvenile institution
Article 12 deals with strengthening compliance with compulsory education
providing for the inclusion in the Criminal Code of article 570-ter
concerning the crime of failure to comply with compulsory education for minors
article 73 of the consolidated law on the regulation of narcotics and psychotropic substances
prevention and rehabilitation treatment from the relevant states of drug addiction is amended
establishing that anyone who commits acts considered to be minor is punished with the penalty of imprisonment from eighteen months to five years and a fine from 2.500 to 10.329 euros
when the conduct is of a non-occasional nature
which in this case takes the form of the behavior of anyone who
stirring up tumult or public disorder or attacking public safety
detonates firearms or bombs or other devices or explosive materials
if the fact does not constitute a more serious crime
with imprisonment from three to eight years
but in this case it is regulated and regulated with a specific rule and the sentence is increased
it is envisaged that at every stage and level of the proceedings the judicial authority will make use
without new or greater burdens on public finances
of the juvenile services of the administration of justice and of the social assistance and health services established by local authorities and the National Health Service
The text provides that when the precautionary needs are aggravated
can order the replacement of the measure applied with precautionary custody
in the cases permitted by article 23 (article modified by the provision)
which expands the catalog of the crimes for which precautionary custody is applicable pursuant to the decree of the President of the Republic number 448 of 1998 (the one which regulates the juvenile criminal trial)
A series of particularly serious criminal cases such as aggravated murder
limited to specific aggravating circumstances
and robbery aggravated by some specific circumstances are excluded from the application of probation
In terms of the minor's re-education process
the measures provide that during preliminary investigations the public prosecutor
if proceeding for crimes with a penalty of up to five years or a joint pecuniary penalty and if the facts are not particularly serious
a proposal for an early settlement of the procedure
subject to the condition that the minor accesses a process of reintegration and civic and social education
free collaboration with third sector bodies or the carrying out of other activities
for the benefit of the community to which they belong for a period ranging from two to eight months
Once the period of suspension of the trial has expired
the judge declares the crime extinguished; otherwise
he returns the documents to the public prosecutor
ROXBURY - The high school librarian in this Morris County town apparently has had enough of some residents complaining about books
that she has been labeled a "child predator" who is "luring children with sexually explicit materials."
It's no surprise the national debate over books in public schools has prompted litigation
appears to be as much about freedom of speech as it is what books kids read
The defendants are four township residents - Thomas Seretis
Some of the defendants are active with a website devoted to publicizing school material they deem overly sexual and not fit for students
there are books in Roxbury Public High School that are not age or school appropriate," is what the website - Roxbury Parental Rights in Education - says
one response to this could be a simple one - parents who don't like some of the books in the library can make sure their children do not read them
Librarian Caivano claims in the suit that the defendants' activity has gone beyond merely criticizing the books
the suit says that the defendants have used social media
appearances at school board meetings and other interactions to label the librarian a "child abuser" and one who endangers the welfare of children
amounts to "libel and slander per se," given the fact Caivano is a "private person."
That verbiage is far from a throw-away line
Private individuals have much greater legal protection against public attacks than do public officials
may consider a high school librarian a "public figure," given her position with a public entity - the township board of education
the superintendent of schools or board members
do not be surprised if this issue pops up as the case evolves
What definitely will pop up is the argument that the defendants are merely exercising the right of free speech
"Why would a librarian sue parents over an issue that should be openly debated in the public domain and in the public forum of a BOE meeting
Seeking to silence parents is at odds with our rights to act as citizens in an informed democracy."
The statement also noted the obvious - this is an issue raging across the nation right now
And it is one that clearly breaks along political lines with
conservatives complaining about books and liberals defending them
it would seem that the plaintiff here has the challenge of demonstrating that the defendants' activities are malicious and that they go beyond normal debate over a public issue
Honestly think the best thing that can be done in these situations is to bring up all of the screwed up passages in the Bible
and get that on the chopping block to get banned
Beat them at their own game and get the "good book" banned
How can "parents who don’t like some of the books in the library can make sure their children do not read them"
Especially (but certainly not only) if the book is assigned for a class
Fred Snowflack or the editor should have posted the underlying factual basis for this debate
A government employee made choices that some in the community have challenged
Let us understand what was placed at the school and at whose behest
I would like to receive emails from Insider NJ
Home Media center AP in the News AP names Victor Caivano director for Southern Cone
AP nombra director de noticias multiformato
a veteran photographer who has led photo coverage for The Associated Press in Spain and Brazil
has been named news director for the Southern Cone countries of Argentina
The appointment was announced Wednesday by Latin America Editor Marjorie Miller
Caivano will be based in Argentina and lead a team of reporters
videographers and photographers across the Southern Cone
He will report to Miller and be the first all-formats bureau leader for the news cooperative in Latin America
“Victor is going to bring a photographer’s eye and a reporter’s depth of knowledge to our coverage of the Southern Cone,” said Miller
“We are excited to have a news director from Argentina
but also has a rich global perspective to bring to AP’s audience in the region and the world,” said John Daniszewski
senior managing editor for international news
“Victor’s appointment to this position is consistent with our ongoing work to unify our photo
text and video formats under cross-format leaders wherever possible
“His proven track record at covering and coordinating major stories will be highly valuable in this new role.”
the 40-year-old Caivano has served as chief photographer in Spain
He has also worked for the news agency from Mexico
after joining the AP as an intern in Texas in 1997
Caivano has covered the devastation of Hurricane Mitch in 1998
the London Olympics and this year’s World Cup in Brazil
holds a bachelors of journalism from the University of Texas at Austin
Democratic lawmakers are looking to address the social media trolling and harassment that school librarians have faced amid calls in some New Jersey districts to ban or remove books from their library shelves
A new state bill called the “Freedom to Read Act” proposes that school boards be required to adopt policies governing material and its removal from school libraries
the bill would also protect librarians from being sued by people who disagree with their book choices
While some Republican politicians say the bill would erode parental freedoms
New Jerseyans are more concerned about book banning than about any potentially inappropriate content
according to a new poll conducted by Rutgers' Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling
58% of residents say they're more concerned that schools may ban books and censor topics that are educationally important
versus 35% who say they're more concerned about teaching from books that students or parents feel are inappropriate or offensive
“We see similar numbers when it comes to talking about the motivation behind recent laws across the country banning books or making it illegal for teachers to talk about LGBTQ or racial issues,” said Ashley Koning
an assistant research professor and the director of the Eagleton Center
Florida, Utah, South Carolina, Kentucky and Mississippi have all passed laws limiting classroom discussions or teaching about race and sex or sexual orientation in some form
though some of the laws are limited to early grades
Similar laws are under consideration in other states
56% of New Jerseyans believe that book banning and censorship measures are mostly driven by politicians to advance their careers
with 31% saying they're mostly being driven by parental concern
Self-identified Republicans are the only group where a 67% majority is more concerned about inappropriate content
Some 44% of Republicans feel laws pushing for bans are politically motivated
while 43% believe they are being driven by real parental concern
More: State education group considers taking stand against book banning in public schools
More: Roxbury parents want 'porn' out of library, but school board says few books get challenged
It doesn’t represent public opinion as a whole
but it is a scientific and representative way of gauging what New Jerseyans think
“What these numbers really tell us is a solid number of over half of New Jerseyans are against book bans and believe that they are politically motivated,” Koning said
Roxbury school librarian Roxana Caivano sued four township residents in March last year on grounds of defamation
Her lawsuit alleged that the defendants labeled her a "child predator" and accused her of "luring children with pornography" in public and online
mostly over Caivano’s inclusion in the high school library of “Gender Queer,” a graphic novel that made the top of PEN America’s list of most banned books in the U.S
And just a few weeks ago in the North Hunterdon-Voorhees regional district
speakers at a packed school board meeting talked about Martha Hickson
a librarian in the district who has faced severe attacks online from groups that opposed her selection of books in the high school library
Harassing videos featuring Hickson's name and photograph were posted online
and Hickson received threatening emails using a sexual slur
“How did all these Ghislaine Maxwells get into the school libraries?” said one such post featuring a photo of Hickson
Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking
'Freedom to Read' billThe “Freedom to Read” bill was driven in part by conversations with Hickson about the trolling she faces
The bill would require school boards to create a policy governing what materials are in district libraries
as well as a policy regarding their removal
School boards would craft their policies based on a model policy created by the state librarian in collaboration with the state education commissioner and the New Jersey Association of School Librarians
The bill would also apply to public libraries and their governing boards
Libraries would have to provide “diverse and inclusive” materials that concern protected classes in New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination
these materials would have to be age- and grade-appropriate
Books by and about racial minorities and LGBTQ+ themes are the most widely targeted subject matter for book bans
the bill would give librarians immunity from being sued for “just doing their job,” Zwicker said
a librarian or any other staff member of a public library would be “immune from criminal or civil liability,” language in the bill says
Librarians also would have the right to bring lawsuits if they face harassment “for complying with the provisions of the bill.”
Efforts to pass a law that would have cut state funding to libraries that remove books failed in 2023
also backed by Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz
is taking a different tack at protecting free speech
intending “to protect the freedom of New Jersey’s residents to read
and for school libraries and public libraries to acquire and maintain materials without external limitations.”
The bill will have its first hearing next month in the Senate Education Committee
Debut Self-Titled Album Available Now!
Phil Caivano has accomplished so much as an artist. He's a multi-instrumental talent
and engineer with decades in the music industry. He's also the rhythm guitar player for MONSTER MAGNET. It's the kind of career many dream of having. However there was something that remained elusive for Caivano: A solo album
and priorities. Working on a solo project was buried under a mountain of other responsibilities. When the 2020 pandemic put many of those responsibilities on hold
MONSTER MAGNET was temporarily grounded. In that short hiatus
Bob Pantella and got to work. Speaking of his long-sought solo project

The downtime of 2020 made me appreciate everything I’ve done throughout the years
It also let me use music as an outlet for all the bad things that were going on in the world and around me
I turned off the news and turned up the amps
It was really great working with Bob on the record
his musical sensibility was perfect for the project
Two guys getting together and this record happened."
The result is an epic entry in the realm of Rock. Caivano's eponymous debut solo release has been a long time coming and is certainly worth the wait. Fans of MONSTER MAGNET
and anyone who can appreciate a tight musical composition will totally dig this release
"Caivano" is available now on all streaming platforms. Find it at downrightmerch.com or pick it up in person at Jack's Music Shoppe in Red Bank. Being a Red Bank native
Phil Caivano is overjoyed to have his album on sale in his hometown record store. He said:
“Ive been going to that store since I was a kid.To have my first solo release at the store I used to shop in when I had a dream of making music
And we're happy to turn up killer cuts from "Caivano" all week on Jersey Rock! Tune to 95.9 The RAT Tuesday
and Thursday at 11:30 pm to hear tracks from the LP. Phil Caivano will call in to the show each night

FeatureItaly's prime minister wants to turn a remote suburb of Naples into a showroom for policies aimed to make 'citizens feel the state's presence.'
a neglected neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples has been attracting national attention
is in the spotlight after a horrific sex crime committed against minors
The Italian government is now treating the area as the pioneering front of its plan to reclaim the country's marginalized areas
the government's promise of a renewed police presence was realized with a major operation carried out by three branches of law enforcement and involving over 400 agents
Their targets were dozens of hideouts containing money
drugs and weapons concealed in the neighborhood by traffickers linked to the Camorra syndicate based there
Meloni described the operation as the initial phase of a process to "make citizens feel the state's presence."
the Parco Verde neighborhood has become a national concern
The political drama began with reports in local and then national media about an incident whose details remain unclear
the first articles reported that two local girls
aged between 10 and 13 – depending on the version – had been repeatedly raped in Parco Verde by teenagers and young adults
The country was already reeling from the mass rape of a 19-year-old woman in Palermo in July

Varda Caivano’s paintings—filled with stormy greys and electrified by inky blues and occasional flashes of yellow—invite you in and prompt you to walk around. Block-like shapes gently tessellate across the canvases now on view at Victoria Miro
with densely built areas giving way to open spaces; an oblique reflection of the urban landscape perhaps
Caivano has created a visual lexicon so sophisticated that she succeeds in referencing the external world through touches that pull her paintings back from the brink of pure abstraction
Untitled , 2014-2015Victoria MiroUntitled , 2014-2015Victoria MiroAdvertisementThe works at Victoria Miro have been described as representing a “third moment” in Caivano’s practice
This new phase is characterized by the more decisive role that drawing plays in the recent paintings
evidenced by the selection of small drawings on view as well as the more graphic nature of the paintings
The different roles played by pencil and paint typify Caivano’s close attention to process and mastery of her materials; careful charcoal marks
and ethereal washes are united in their controlled application
Installation view of Varda Caivano at Victoria Miro
Caivano’s newly adopted palette of greys makes the subtle architecture of her paintings more visible
Areas of unpainted canvas reveal the pencil markings beneath
offering a glimpse into the underlying structure
Order and discipline do not diminish the warmth and liveliness of her work; rather
The paintings are metacognitive—thoughts about thought—mental energy metered out in line and shade
Varda Caivano is on view at Victoria Miro

The investigations, conducted by the military of the Operational Section of the Casoria Company and coordinated by the Naples Anti-Mafia District Directorate, were launched in the aftermath of two murders committed in Caivano (Na), in the months of August and October 2014, to the detriment of 2 local offenders, believed to belong to the Ciccarelli Camorra group, involved in the dynamics of drug dealing in the Parco Verde district

Varda Caivano works in a studio close to the train tracks in semi-fashionable Hackney Wick, east London, near where she lives with her partner and young son. Her studio is small, with many paintings turned face to the walls. People are coming soon to collect paintings for her upcoming show at a gallery in Tokyo, and she is still considering what to send. "I always take 40 per cent more then I need so I can see how it looks in the space."
Caivano has had a high-profile year, with a room of her paintings included in the Venice Biennale. Biennale director, Massimiliano Gioni, selected works with her via Skype, she confides, as she makes me a strong coffee.
Spending her days studying works of art, she asked questions about technique that seemed to irritate the curators, before admitting that this was not what she wanted to do.
Caivano came to London and attended the Royal College of Art. Chris Ofili, a fan of her work, introduced her to her gallerist Victoria Miro, with whom she continues to show.
Caivano hangs some paintings for me to look at. They are tantalising: elements of figuration flirt with total abstraction and the palette of blues and violets is both seductive and mystical. "I think the paintings are like thoughts," she says. I point out how unusual it is to see so many paintings in a studio at one time, and she replies: "I think the studio works like a head, because I make many paintings at the same time."
It is up to the viewer to make their own decisions about the canvases. Caivano does not make it easy, leaving them untitled. "I don't want to tell them titles, or anything – but I want to explain to them that this is what's happening in the studio."
"I think it's also because the function of some paintings is to have fights and arguments with other paintings, rather than just sitting there." The activity of the work chimes with her own intense involvement. "I mean, you paint with all of you! You paint with what you read, what you see, with what you know."
Vara Caivano will be showing at Victoria Miro Gallery, London (020 7336 8109) in 2014
