The Campi Flegrei caldera (Italy) is among the most productive volcanoes of the Mediterranean area
the volcanic history preceding the VEI 7 Campanian Ignimbrite eruption (~40 ka) is still poorly constrained
we use a tephra dispersal model to reconstruct the eruption source parameters of the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption (~109 ka)
one of the most widespread Late Pleistocene Mediterranean marker tephra from Campi Flegrei
Our results suggest that the eruption was characterized by an early Plinian phase involving ~6 cubic kilometers (within the range of 3–21 cubic kilometers) of magma
followed by a co-ignimbrite phase erupting ~148 cubic kilometers (range of 60–300 cubic kilometers)
This ranks the Maddaloni/X-6 as a high-magnitude (M7.6) eruption
resulting at least as the second largest known event from Campi Flegrei
This study provides insights into the capability of the Campi Flegrei magmatic system to repeatedly generate large explosive eruptions
which has broad implications for hazard assessment in the central Mediterranean area
due to their potential impact on a wide regional scale
Quantifying the eruption source parameters of these large explosive eruptions is crucial to understand the magmato-tectonic processes driving the long-term volcanic evolution
magnitude and intensity) are yet to be assessed
Our results suggest that high-magnitude (M7) eruptions
occurred at Campi Flegrei before the Campanian Ignimbrite (~40 ka)
and that the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption is &nbsp;at least&nbsp;the second-largest explosive event occurred in the Campi Flegrei area since ~109 ka
effective horizontal diffusion coefficient
A more detailed description of the methods employed in this study is provided in the “Methods” section
this study provides a simulation constrained by available observations of the eruption products
and a realistic magnitude estimation for the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption
This estimate can be improved in the future by additional stratigraphic occurrences
including regions where the X-6 tephra has not been recorded yet (e.g.
which was likely obliterated by the younger and&nbsp;relatively large NYT eruption
the discovery of a pre-CI large-magnitude (~M7.6) eruption in the Late Pleistocene volcanic history of Campi Flegrei highlights the importance of assessing the recurrence times
and the structural mechanisms promoting formation and/or reactivation of caldera structures
These are all needed to understand the magmato-tectonic processes driving the long-term volcanic and volcano-tectonic evolution
potentially posing strong impacts over a wide regional scale
Previous studies highlighted the occurrence of at least two caldera-forming eruptions at Campi Flegrei
the Campanian Ignimbrite (~40 ka) and the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (~15 ka)
in addition to the large-magnitude Masseria del Monte Tuff eruption (~29 ka)
we assessed the dispersal of the ~109 ka Maddaloni/X-6 eruption
which allowed us to recognize the oldest known VEI 7 eruption of the Campi Flegrei volcanic history
at least&nbsp;the second-largest explosive event occurred in the Campi Flegrei area since 109 ka
Our results show that the eruption started with a Plinian phase that erupted ~5.6 km3 DRE and was dispersed mainly towards E-NE
associated with large pyroclastic currents (up to ~70 km3 DRE
likely related to a caldera collapse event)
was dispersed over a wider area of the central and eastern Mediterranean region
The information we provided for the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption sheds new light on the occurrence of large eruptions at Campi Flegrei
indicating that the caldera history extends back in time well beyond the previously assumed limit of the ~40 ka Campanian Ignimbrite
The occurrence of numerous pre-CI and pre-Maddaloni/X-6 tephra ascribed to the Campi Flegrei lays the groundwork for encouraging and deepening the knowledge on the ancient history of this restless volcano and to keep pursuing the assessment of the long-term volcanic hazard by fostering research in the sub-surface geology of this volcanic region
and Ti (obs) and Ti (mod) are observed and calculated thickness values
Weighting factors wi depend on the distribution of errors on the dependent variable
when wi = 1/T 2 (obs) is used the relative squared errors are minimised (i.e.
and when wi = 1/T(obs) a statistical weight
For the meteorological conditions we considered a dataset of daily wind profiles from 1971 to 2020 (50 years) taken from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA5
We assume that this collection of modern wind fields may statistically approximate those at the time of the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption

Mastercard may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of connectivity, but it turns out that it takes one heck of a network to connect three billion cardholders to hundreds of millions of points of service and thousands of banks in the blink of an eye. In an exclusive interview with Fierce, CTO of Operations <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgemaddaloni/">George Maddaloni</a> explained how the company gets all those bits and bytes where they need to go
Mastercard’s network is a sprawling mass made up of 60 data centers
multiple 100-gig backbone transport links running MPLS technology and cloud sandboxes
connectivity and a playground for innovation – are the key pillars of Mastercard’s cloud strategy
The easiest way to think about Mastercard’s data centers is as one giant private cloud
The company still runs some of its own data centers but noted the majority are housed in colocation facilities
While some of these deployments are larger to handle data processing
some are smaller cage-sized server deployments designed to act as transit gateways that can funnel traffic onto other portions of its network
“We need to operate in every region that we have consumers processing transactions
so we establish regional data centers where needed,” he explained
Colocation facilities give Mastercard access to another key piece of its network puzzle: interconnection to both the internet and hyperscale public clouds
While Mastercard primarily uses Amazon Web Services and Azure for internal application deployments
its outward-facing software needs to reach customers operating in all the major hyperscaler environments
we’ve seen all three have customers operating in the cloud that we have to connect to
That has scaled up dramatically in the past couple of years,” Maddaloni said.&nbsp;
“We’ve just hit where we’ve had over 250 million transactions that have been processed through those cloud connections," he continued
public cloud represents a part of our network that has scaled up dramatically over the past three years since we’ve really taken that on.”
As for how it connects all of these data centers
Maddaloni said Mastercard runs a backbone network of multiple 100-gig transport links using multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) technology
Though other enterprises are moving away from the technology
Maddaloni said MPLS remains the best option for Mastercard
in part because it’s the most efficient for the type of traffic the company is running – think messaging rather than beefy video streams – and allows it to weave together different carrier networks so they look like one giant network
“We’re using that protocol to establish the same kind of virtual fabrics within that network so that we can carve out different components of bandwidth for different functions,” Maddaloni said
IDC Research VP <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/davemccarthymba/">Dave McCarthy</a> told Fierce it’s not surprising that Mastercard is still using MPLS
“The things that financial services does has such a high emphasis on ensuring uptime and security — and so those kind of traditional ways of connecting things together makes a lot of sense for them,” he said
McCarthy added that the financial services sector has been on a long journey of moving to cloud
McCarthy noted that IDC has forecast that cloud spending in the financial services sector is set to increase at a five-year CAGR of 22.3% to reach $335 billion in 2028
But what about innovation — and the use of artificial intelligence (AI)
Maddaloni said Mastercard uses public cloud sandboxes internally to allow developers to tinker with greenfield projects and provide its fintech startup partners with robust tools for innovation
Maddaloni said Mastercard has been using the tech for over a decade to run its fraud detection engine
it is looking at ways to leverage Generative AI to improve the performance of its fraud detection models and reduce false positives
It’s also tapping into AI internally via tools like Microsoft Copilot
“The thing that we always think about is in terms of data,” he said
“We’ve got a very solid set of data principles in terms of how we protect consumers’ data and other principles associated with that including the elimination of bias
social impact and maintaining the privacy associated with that.”
McCarthy noted that Mastercard’s approach is reflective of the reality that while GenAI and large language models (LLMs) sparked massive market excitement
enterprises are finding implementation tricky
they’re grappling with how best to use GenAI and LLMs while still protecting their data
In terms of what’s next on the horizon, Maddaloni said Mastercard is looking to get edgy. And it’s not the only one. <a href="https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS52587424">IDC predicted edge spending</a> for Financial Services will reach $29 billion in 2028 with a 5-year CAGR of 13.9%,” McCarthy told Fierce
“While everybody is focused on the chips and the cloud and things of that nature
I think what we can do on the edge of our network and by leveraging edge computing” will really be transformative
we look to do more intelligence on the edge
we look for new connectivity patterns that make our technology work better and I’m actually really excited about what may come from an edge computing perspective.”

Study in mice reveals a brain circuit — and brain cell behavior — that affects the ability to adapt to changes in day length
Findings add another piece to the puzzle of how circadian rhythms work
Work may inform treatments for conditions exacerbated by changes in day length
such as seasonal affective disorder and bipolar disorder
Harvard Medical School scientists have discovered a brain circuit that influences the ability to adapt to changes in day length
like those that occur from season to season or when traveling across time zones
The study, based on research in mice and <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07692-7">published July 17 in Nature</a>
fills in another piece of the workings of circadian rhythms: the ways in which the brain adjusts behavior and body functions on a 24-hour cycle
based on external signals such as the presence and absence of day light
The work also reveals a new way brain cells can behave
<a href="https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/sign-email-communications">Get more HMS news here</a>
the findings could help researchers understand the basis of mistimed sleep-wake and activity cycles
which can contribute to the development of certain diseases
Further findings also could inform the design of treatments for people who struggle with sharp changes in day length or timing
or people who have health conditions that are exacerbated by changes in day length or timing
including schizophrenia and seasonal affective
“We know that solar light dictates organismal physiology and behavior, and that we have health issues if our body doesn’t properly anticipate the light-dark cycle, but we tend to think about that on a daily scale, not seasonally,” said <a href="https://dymeckilab.hms.harvard.edu/susan-dymecki.html">Susan Dymecki</a>
the George Fabyan Professor of Genetics in the Field of Comparative Pathology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS
“Finding a neural circuit that contributes significantly to the ability to adapt to changes in the day-night cycle is exciting,” she said
“It would be wonderful if it can help us better understand how our brains work and how we might help people synchronize to those changes.” 
the results offer insights into how exposure to forms of artificial light at night
may confuse the brain’s sense of day length and affect human health
The team — led by <a href="https://connects.catalyst.harvard.edu/Profiles/display/Person/165524">Giacomo Maddaloni</a>, research fellow in genetics in the Dymecki lab — identified a brain circuit with multiple groups of neurons that together recognize, decode, and drive behavioral adaptation to changes in the amount of daylight.  
Central to this circuit is a set of neurons dubbed mrEn1-Pet1. Maddaloni and colleagues found that these neurons receive signals from a brain region called the preoptic area, which is told directly about whether it’s light or dark by nerve cells in the retina at the back of the eye. 
The team determined that mrEn1-Pet1 neurons then send signals to three areas of the brain involved in circadian rhythms and sleep-wake patterns, including the body’s master circadian clock, called the superchiasmatic nucleus or SCN.
This discovery placed the mrEn1-Pet1 neurons within a brain circuit that starts with light detection and continues to circadian rhythm regulation. But how were the neurons communicating, the researchers wondered.
Scientists already knew that mrEn1-Pet1 neurons release serotonin, a chemical involved in a myriad of functions from breathing rate to mood to appetite. Maddaloni and colleagues, however, found that mrEn1-Pet1 cells can likely also release the chemical glutamate, which activates neurons that receive it.
A common understanding among scientists has been that neurons that can release one or more chemicals do so to all the brain regions they “talk” to. To their surprise, Dymecki’s team found that the mrEn1-Pet1 neuronsdeploy serotonin and glutamate independently — sometimes together, sometimes separately, sometimes in different amounts — to the three brain regions they connect to.
“It’s really cool, the mechanism these cells use,” said Maddaloni. 
The team’s experiments indicated that the mrEn1-Pet1 neuronstake the environmental cue of light or dark duration and change their deployment of serotonin and glutamate accordingly. This appears to provide information to the master circadian clock, which incorporates it with other inputs to decide whether it should adjust the animal’s biological response and ultimately its behavior. 
Blocking various parts of the circuit impaired mice’s ability to adjust to changes in day length. When the team made “day” length longer or shorter in the lab, mimicking summer or winter, mice with disruptions in the mrEn1-Pet1 system took much longer to sync their sleep and wake times to the new day length than normal mice and lagged in shifting their wheel-running activity to appropriate times and lengths.
“The results were really striking,” said Maddaloni. “Mice kept waking up according to the previous light cycle. They were ‘blind’ to the changes in season.”
When the mrEn1-Pet1 neurons are disrupted, the SCN doesn’t adjust properly, confirmed Dymecki. “It affects a fundamental mechanism in the master circadian regulator.”
Dymecki and Maddaloni want to find out whether this ability to deploy different neurotransmitters to different brain regions is unique to mrEn1-Pet1 neurons. 
How applicable the findings are to human health will depend on whether our brains have mrEn1-Pet1 neurons and a comparable circadian circuit.
Although her team hasn’t yet looked for mrEn1-Pet1 cells in human brain tissue, Dymecki is encouraged by the fact that the neurons reside in the mouse brain stem, an evolutionarily ancient area that changes very little across mammals. 
Another promising sign: Every time the team has looked in the human brain stem for other types of serotonin-releasing cells present in the mouse brain stem, they’ve found them.
Also, imaging studies have shown a link between abnormalities in this brain region in humans and conditions such as bipolar disorder, Dymecki said.
“We think the cells will be there,” she said. “If they are, it would be very satisfying to add to our limited knowledge about how our brains evolved to synchronize to changes in light exposure and to possibly help mitigate the devastating effects that dysregulation of adaptation to day-length changes can have on people’s health.”

A new look at an ancient eruption at Campi Flegrei raises new questions about the propensity of the still-active volcano
Italy's Campi Flegrei volcano may have had a more explosive history than experts thought
A new study finds that the volcano &mdash; or one near it &mdash; laid down an enormous layer of ash and volcanic rock about 109,000 years ago
was similar in size to the biggest known Campi Flegrei eruption
which happened 40,000 years ago and was so large that it created a caldera 9 miles (15 kilometers) in diameter
at the southern end of the fertile Campanian Plain
and it's made of broken-down volcanic ash from the eruption 40,000 years ago
The confirmation of an older eruption that was nearly as large has subtle implications for the risk to the 400,000 or so people who live in the caldera
The volcano has been experiencing about 75 years of unrest, which may or may not lead to an eruption. Should such an eruption occur, it is almost certain to be small, said <a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/earth-sciences/people/academic/prof-christopher-kilburn" target="_blank" data-url="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/earth-sciences/people/academic/prof-christopher-kilburn" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" data-hl-processed="none">Christopher Kilburn</a>
a volcanologist at University College London who was not involved in the new research
But if Campi Flegrei has experienced multiple caldera-forming eruptions in the past
the volcano has the capacity for more devastating explosions
"It changes the perception of the risk of Campi Flegrei being active again," Kilburn told Live Science
Get the world&rsquo;s most fascinating discoveries delivered straight to your inbox
is whether the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption came from Campi Flegrei itself or whether the magma erupted from fractures a few dozen miles north of the caldera
This wouldn't particularly matter to anyone standing in the eruption zone in the event of such a devastating event
But it does matter to researchers monitoring the volcano
because it can help them focus on the signals that are most likely to presage a major eruption
Researchers knew the volcano had laid down ash layers prior to the eruption 40,000 years ago
The difficulty in understanding these eruptions is that most of their traces were wiped away by that most recent major eruption
The rocks from the Maddaloni/X-6 eruption are now visible mostly in small outcrops in the Apennine
or in boreholes drilled deep into the Earth
Fernandez and her colleagues used these outcrops to make a model of what the 109,000-year-old eruption would have looked like
They found that it did come from the Campi Flegrei region and that it began with an explosive eruption of ash and rock that made the classic billowing volcanic cloud
Next came a period of enormous pyroclastic flows &mdash; avalanches of hot gas and rock that became a layer of rock called ignimbrite
This ignimbrite is 6.5 feet (2 meters) deep in places
The eruption would have removed more than 36 cubic miles (150 cubic km) of magma from below the surface
That is not much smaller than the largest known eruption
the last eruption at Campi Flegrei was in 1538 and spewed about 0.005 cubic miles (0.02 cubic km) of magma
&mdash;<a data-analytics-id="inline-link" href="https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/volcanos/italys-campi-flegrei-volcano-hit-by-150-earthquakes-in-just-5-hours" data-before-rewrite-localise="https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/volcanos/italys-campi-flegrei-volcano-hit-by-150-earthquakes-in-just-5-hours">Campi Flegrei hit with 150 earthquakes in 5 hours</a>

The new study is "an exemplary piece of work," Kilburn said
and it points to the need to better understand the magma plumbing under the Campi Flegrei system
If the eruption 109,000 years ago came from Campi Flegrei itself
that suggests the caldera is capable of large
it suggests that those areas need to be better studied
This doesn't mean a huge eruption is likely on human timescales
but it could reveal more about the future of volcanic activity in the region over tens of thousands of years
"We"ve got to start viewing the volcano as more than just Campi Flegrei," he said
"We"ve got to start thinking of the whole of the Campanian Plain as being a potential zone of eruption

This branch-specific neurotransmitter deployment did not distinguish between daylight and dark phase; however
changed neurochemical phenotype upon a shift away from equinox light/dark conditions
and these changes were reversed upon return to equinox conditions
When we genetically disabled Vglut3 in mrEn1-Pet1 neurons
voluntary activity and clock gene expression did not synchronize to the new photoperiod or were delayed
Combining intersectional rabies virus tracing and projection-specific neuronal silencing
we delineated a preoptic area-to-mrEn1Pet1 connection that was responsible for decoding the photoperiodic inputs
driving the neurotransmitter reorganization and promoting behavioural synchronization
Our results reveal a brain circuit and periodic
branch-specific neurotransmitter deployment that regulates organismal adaptation to photoperiod change

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced today that Joseph A
has been charged with 67 counts of criminal possession of a weapon and other crimes following a long-term investigation conducted by the District Attorney’s Office
Recovered were a total of 42 illegal firearms including:  15 fully assembled ghost gun semiautomatic pistols; 23 commercially manufactured weapons
and rifles; two AR-15 ghost gun assault-style rifles
one of which was a fully automatic machine gun; two commercially manufactured AR-15 assault rifles; two silencers; 33 high-capacity magazines; and thousands of rounds of ammunition
“The investigation and arrest are critical to our efforts to stop the proliferation of gun violence plaguing our communities
the defendant possessed a deadly arsenal of weapons in his home – from personally manufactured ghost guns to commercially made firearms for which he did not have the legal right to possess
These illegal weapons must be kept off our streets and my Office will continue to work diligently to hold accountable those who choose to endanger our communities.”
was arraigned on Friday evening before Queens Criminal Court Judge Diego Freire on a 140-count complaint charging him with criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree
29 counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree
37 counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree
two counts of make/transport/dispose/deface weapons and dangerous
26 counts of criminal possession of a firearm
26 counts of criminal possession of a firearm in the third degree
five counts of prohibition on unfinished frames or receivers
13 counts of failure to obtain certificates of registration for numerous firearms
and unlawful possession of pistol or revolver ammunition
Judge Freire ordered the defendant to return to Court on August 24
her newly formed Crime Strategies and Intelligence Unit
along with the Queens District Attorney’s Detectives Bureau
initiated an investigation into individuals purchasing illegal firearm component parts by placing online orders with internet websites and marketplaces
shipping all the components necessary to manufacture illegal firearms directly to their doorstep
was soon identified as a major purchaser of illegal polymer-based unserialized firearm components which can be assembled into operable firearms with minimal effort
without serial numbers or the statutory requisite background checks
upon execution of a court-authorized search warrant at Maddaloni’s Whitestone
investigators allegedly observed an arsenal of firearms
and other tools indicative of the illegal manufacture and possession of ghost guns
the defendant maintains two permits allowing him to legally possess ten pistols
each specifically enumerated by serial number
also specifically enumerated on the permit by serial number
Maddaloni allegedly purchased 25 additional commercially manufactured and serialized firearms
in addition to personally manufacturing 17 completed ghost guns – none of which are legally authorized under either of the defendant’s permits
members of the District Attorney’s Detectives Bureau executed a Court-authorized search warrant and recovered the following:
The investigation was conducted by members of the Queens District Attorney’s Detective Bureau assigned to the Crime Strategies and Intelligence Unit
under the supervision of Lieutenant Janet Helgeson
and under the overall supervision of Chief of Detectives Thomas Conforti
with assistance from Assistant District Attorney Lisa Cubair and Supervising Intelligence Analyst Jennifer Rudy
of the District Attorney’s Crime Strategies and Intelligence Unit
under the supervision of Assistant District Attorney Shanon LaCorte
The prosecution is being conducted by Assistant District Attorney Kevin Timpone
of the Queens District Attorney’s Violent Criminal Enterprise Bureau
under the supervision of Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Sennett
and under the overall supervision of Executive Assistant District Attorney for Investigations Gerard Brave

In Olbia, throughout the event, Gianni is a coach for the Italian team and he accompanies, among others, four athletes who come directly from his social programme: Antonietta Palumbo, Assunta Scutto, Martina Esposito and Bright Maddaloni. He will therefore also be a father, since his adopted son, Bright, will compete on the third day of competition.
"I'll be in the coach's chair to support Bright. There's no other place for me. I've told him what to do, what tactics to use. If he follows my advice to the letter, we'll win. If he doesn't, we will lose, together," says Gianni. In a few words, here is a summary of the spirit of the man. He is in total symbiosis with his judoka. If they win, he wins, if they lose, so does he. It's as simple as that.
In 2000, together with his older son Pino, they became Olympic champions in Sydney, “In Sydney Pino followed exactly the tactics we had been talking about and he came back from Australia with the gold medal. It's not the athlete's fault if things go wrong. It's teamwork. We win together and we lose together. In Sydney we won and I hope in Olbia we will win as well."
On the first day of competition in Olbia, Gianni already won with one of his proteges, Assunta Scutto and without ostentation, he is very proud of it. "Three of my athletes have a contract with the army now, which allows them to live decently and to have financial autonomy. The most important are the values they learned from me. Assunta translated this perfectly on the tatami. It's beautiful. I am simply a happy man."
For 41 years, Gianni has therefore put all his energy into transmitting the values he learned through practising judo in the service of the underprivileged. In his gym, located in the heart of Scampia and built around the dojo, he has already welcomed several hundreds of former prisoners and an incalculable number of people with disabilities. Access to all activities is free for them. Recently he also launched a programme for retirees so that they can stay active. Again everything is free.
"Marius Vizer has helped me enormously. We share the same vision of the world. What I learned from him encouraged me to do locally what he does on a global level with the Judo for Peace or Judo for Children programmes."
The word is out: love! This is what Gianni has in his heart and in his guts. It’s a love that he plans to continue giving through sport and judo in particular. A love without which nothing is possible or more exactly thanks to which everything is possible.

Italy: Colacem has issued notices of dismissal to the remaining seven employees at the site of the former Maddaloni cement plant, now a cement storage facility. The Il Mattino newspaper has reported that the producer has offered all workers bonuses in exchange for their resignations.
Cement production at the Maddaloni site in Campania ceased in late 2021, after a period of grinding-only operations following the shutdown of the kiln in 2019.

PORTSMOUTH — When Emilio Maddaloni passed away
he took a bit of the heart of the city with him
Emilio's restaurant at 87 Daniel Street was a place for many of Portsmouth's longest residents to gather
A sign in his window read "Sorry; We're Open" and that's a good hint to what people found inside
Maddaloni passed away in October and he was so beloved that a memorial party was held in his honor at Portsmouth Book and Bar Sunday night
The place was closed for the private party and inside it was standing room only after only a few minutes
a tribute to the number of people who cared for him
who lived around the corner from Emilio's restaurant for many years
he became a regular at the small Italian restaurant
"We decided to have a little gathering where people could come and share stories about the Emilio they got to know
I was living in Concord when my brother John told me I had to come to Portsmouth and meet this guy
It was Emilio and I have loved him ever since that day
views on life and on doing business in Portsmouth were really something."
Emilio and 14 of us went to Italy," said Pelletier
Barbara Franzoso included Emilio's in a cookbook she was part of writing in 1994
Called "A Taste of Portsmouth," the book featured recipes and tidbits about the city's eateries of the day
every slice of pizza and every plate is made from scratch and dispensed with 'food for thought' from Emilio
The eclectic set of characters that make up the list of regulars span the socioeconomic spectrum and give the place that rare intangible that makes every day feel like a family reunion."
Ben Baldwin of Ben Baldwin and the Big Note
On the rear was a picture of the band hamming it up on the steps of Emilio's
while Emilio hangs out the window to the left of the photo
"Emilio was a source of nourishment and inspiration to us," said Baldwin
Photographer Nancy Grace Horton talked about a New Year's Eve party she attended at Pelletier's house once
"I took video and that's what they are playing up on the wall over there," said Horton
"Emilio was quintessential Emilio that night
met Emilio when he arrived as an immigrant from Turkey in 1980
and Yazgan thought he was also an immigrant
"He handed me the keys to my first location in 1980 and said here
Clearly everyone had a tale to tell and the stories were going to last far into the night
That's a pretty good legacy about a man everyone said was hard to describe unless you knew him
ACCORD &#8211; Rondout Valley High School held their graduation ceremony on June 23
and community came out to celebrates graduates of the Class of 2023
their team leads in the standings with four gold
<a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=64099" title="Melkia AUCHECORNE" target="_blank">Melkia AUCHECORNE</a> (FRA), the number one seed of the -63kg category fought her way to the final and was close to scoring initially with ashi waza but her opponent, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=59926" title="Savita RUSSO" target="_blank">Savita RUSSO</a> (ITA) did a great job of defending
that was all she could do and picked up two shidos
she stepped up with one minute to go and threatened the French athlete
It was evident that Russo had the better condition
the tables had turned and it was the Italian athlete dominating
Auchecorne simply couldn&#8217;t keep up with the offence
struggling to even pick herself up from the tatami
Auchecorne was penalised for repetitive dropping
The -73kg category final between unseeded <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=67354" title="Otari KVANTIDZE" target="_blank">Otari KVANTIDZE</a> (POR) and <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=50879" title="Giorgi TERASHVILI" target="_blank">Giorgi TERASHVILI</a> (GEO) was a stalemate for the duration of the first four minutes
a very calm contest with both taking their time and patiently taking grips
however it was clear that they were well known to one another and were prepared for the attacks
Kvantidze surprised his opponent with a drop seoi nage in 15 seconds which Terashvili very narrowly avoided
with the Georgian representative feeling imminent danger
both hands on the sleeve to score and take the junior European title
<a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=58298" title="Kaja SCHUSTER" target="_blank">Kaja SCHUSTER</a> (SLO) gave us the quickest final
it took only thirty seconds for the Slovenian athlete to take her -70kg junior European title against Adelina NOVITZKI (ISR)
she followed her team mate Nika KOREN who had just taken bronze on this tatami
Concluding the final block on day two, were the -81kg finalists, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=59604" title="Igor TSURKAN" target="_blank">Igor TSURKAN</a> (UKR) and <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=42855" title="Bright MADDALONI NOSA" target="_blank">Bright MADDALONI NOSA</a> (ITA)
the Italian took a silver medal in the 2022 junior European championships as Tsurkan became the cadet champion
Maddaloni Nosa came out all guns blazing in search of that title and to rectify the result last year
eventually scoring with sode tsuri komi goshi for waza ari
He managed to hold off the desperation of Tsurkan and was hailed the new junior European champion of the -81kg category

which has little fiction and a lot of reality
music and all the paraphernalia of cinema but the story is that of Gianni Maddaloni
If you have the chance to meet him one day
the Gold of Scampia for those who do not speak italian
the man who has spent forty years helping his neighbours in the poorest and probably most dangerous neighbourhood of Naples
a place that inspired other films and series’ that mostly focus on the bad guys
but Maddaloni is just as simple as his legend is a giant and he is the good guy
in a disadvantaged land contaminated by unemployment
Gianni is the tree that endures in the midst of the storm
the voluntary pillar of a society that sometimes surrenders without a fight
Gianni can boast of having taken the most disadvantaged off the streets
transmitting values and even teaching them to defend themselves and to understand judo as a healthy practice and a school of life
If there is someone who deserves a Nobel Peace Prize or whatever exists
He stands up to bring hope to the whole Scampia community
The Gold of Scampia is his story and the film is worth watching and since we are promoting it
it would be a good idea to take a look at the documentary dedicated to Gianni Maddaloni
that belongs to the series ‘Judo for the World,’ produced by the International Judo Federation
This one is real with Gianni as the protagonist and where he speaks of everything he does and why
because one is real and the other is the product of reality
In both you’ll discover what dedication and self-sacrifice mean and that courage still has significance
which reflects what the whole world could become without values
is still living in Scampia and is still active to transmit his love for judo to the young ones
whose adventure is an important part of the film
really became an Olympic champion in 2000 in Sydney and that he is now one of the IJF Refereeing Supervisors attending most of the World Judo Tour events
The reality after all is that when we talk about ‘judo family’ it has a true meaning when it comes to Maddaloni & Co
beyond giving the ok on the television remote control
is to understand how one's will can move mountains and when that will is aimed at the service of good
it would be a shame to pass by without paying attention
because the history of Gianni and Scampia is the history of the world as we have built it

The first witnesses testified Wednesday in a 2019 shooting death of Wendell Daniels
It is the second time that Khanas Ware has been before a Calhoun County Circuit Court jury charged with the killing because his first trial in January 2020 ended with mistrial after jurors deadlocked without a decision
being a felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony
He faces a mandatory life sentence if convicted on all charges
was killed and three others were wounded after shots were fired at their car from&nbsp;another vehicle&nbsp;at Kendall Street and Dickman Road about 3:21 a.m
Prosecutors believe&nbsp;that Ware was&nbsp;a passenger in the other vehicle&nbsp;and&nbsp;fired the shots.&nbsp;
Defense attorney Michael Maddaloni argued at the first trial that "he did not commit this shooting
During his opening statement Wednesday morning
Maddaloni had a similar argument and said that Ware "maintains his innocence and credibility is the issue." He told the jury his client was not at the shooting
Assistant Prosecutor Tamara Towns told jurors she expects prosecution witnesses will link Ware to the shooting
She said since the first trial the gun used in the shooting was found in Kalamazoo
She said the gun was linked to the Battle Creek shooting by tests&nbsp;of the shell casings and bullets
After a jury of 14 people was selected &ndash; two will be released before deliberations &ndash;&nbsp;they heard opening instructions from Judge Sarah Lincoln
opening statements from the two attorneys and 10 witnesses including two men in Daniels' car when the shots were fired
Elijah Jackson and Deandre Sawyer said they had just left a party with a third man and with Daniels driving
"It was snowing and an SUV pulls up on our left and starts to fire shots at us." He said&nbsp;the front seat passenger was shooting,&nbsp;but he was unable to identify him
Jackson said the other car drove off and the three passengers ran for safety
Two of them suffered gunshot wounds but when they returned to the car
Jackson said Daniels was bleeding and unconscious
Sawyer also was unable to identify the shooter but said he was wearing a gray sweatshirt with the hood pulled tight around his face and head
Neither of the men said they knew Ware and they had no problems with anyone that night

On the second day of the Junior European Judo Championships 2023
two of four of the number one seeds managed to secure their places in their respective finals
but with great difficulty as the level of competition was so great
<a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=50879" title="Giorgi TERASHVILI" target="_blank">Giorgi TERASHVILI</a> (GEO) was an immediate threat in the -73kg category today
already a grand slam gold medallist with wins against IJF World Tour favourites including Manuel LOMBARDO (ITA)
His abilities on the senior circuit have not gone unnoticed
but with those expectations it can be difficult to perform with a clear head
Terashvili proved that simply wasn&#8217;t the case for him and found himself right at home on the tatami
In the semi final he took on Great Britain&#8217;s Luke DAVIES
who had defeated the defending champion in his previous round
his style and high grip was just what Terashvili wanted and in 36 seconds executed an ippon-scoring harai maki komi for his place in the final
On the opposite side of the draw there was great excitement as unseeded star Otari KVANTIDZE (POR) came through the ranks to place in the semi final against Suleyman ALIYEV (AZE)
It was a terrific contest but unfortunately ended with a hansoku make for Aliyev
Top seed of the -63kg category, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=64099" title="Melkia AUCHECORNE" target="_blank">Melkia AUCHECORNE</a> (FRA) was on a mission today to take her first major championships medal
her approach was physical and her opponents struggled to stand against her
In her semi final against Martyna GLUBIAK (POL) she timed a wonderful drop seoi nage
continuing the momentum so much so that Auchecorne went over herself
It could very well be a battle of the seoi nages in the final as the number three seed, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=59926" title="Savita RUSSO" target="_blank">Savita RUSSO</a> (ITA) also took her place in the final using this popular technique
only she executed this from a standing position
Both finalists had very steady journeys to the gold medal contest
but will be prepared for an almight battle for the junior European title
The -81kg category semi final between Omar RAJABLI (AZE) and <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=59604" title="Igor TSURKAN" target="_blank">Igor TSURKAN</a> (UKR) was nothing short of incredible to witness
in less than forty seconds there were multiple attacks
putting the spectators on the edge of their seats
A decision was made by the referee commission following a lightning speed yoko tomoe nage from Tsurkan and an equally quick reaction from Rajabli
potentially fast enough to have over rotated and escape the score
ippon was awarded to the Ukrainian athlete
last years cadet European champion and cadet world bronze medallist
Meeting Tsurkan in the final is the top seed of the -81kg category, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=42855" title="Bright MADDALONI NOSA" target="_blank">Bright MADDALONI NOSA</a> (ITA)
Last year we saw the Italian athlete in the final but he was forced to settle for the silver medal
but it&#8217;ll be a tall order against this first year junior from Ukraine
Maddaloni Nosa fought admirably in his semi final and after being awarded an ippon score
it was taken away which can be difficult to recover from
He continued his onslaught of attacks and control of the contest against Stanislav KORCHEMLIUK (UKR)
As for the -70kg category, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=58298" title="Kaja SCHUSTER" target="_blank">Kaja SCHUSTER</a> (SLO) put a stop to top seed Julie ZARYBNICKA (CZE) heading in to the final
Instead the three-time continental cup winner
secured her own spot for a gold medal by sticking to her plan and setting up her opponent twice for drop seoi nage attacks
Schuster&#8217;s final opponent, <a href="/eju/judoka/?judokaId=43495" title="Adelina NOVITZKI" target="_blank">Adelina NOVITZKI</a> (ISR) is in the same position as Maddaloni Nosa
Novitzki paved her way confidently with ippon wins in her first and second round
taking on the home hope Nadia SWINKELS (NED) slowed her down a little
though she managed to persevere and dominate the contest
April Lynn FOHOUO (SUI) put up the best offence but still didn&#8217;t manage to stop the Israeli athlete
who threw Fohouo for waza ari with o uchi gari
and carried out the full four minutes contest time
The live streaming of the final block will begin at 16:00 local time at JudoTV.com
She had began her career as the owner of her own hair salon in North Haven

TUSCALOOSA&nbsp;&mdash; Wetumpka football coach Tim Perry said he wanted to give his team a "bowl-game experience"&nbsp;as it prepared for Friday's Class 6A championship game against Pinson Valley
The Indians were in their first&nbsp;state title game.&nbsp;
"The environment is so much different than what you're used to," Perry said
"This group is used to the big crowds and energy
We want them to have their minds on being focused and we want them to enjoy it."
The team arrived in Tuscaloosa on Thursday night
The team woke up for a&nbsp;group breakfast at First Baptist Church on Friday morning
Wetumpka finished its preparation with&nbsp;a walk-through at the University of Alabama's indoor practice facility
Wetumpka finished the trip with a 31-10 loss to Pinson Valley
Martin said he was happy to share the fun with his teammates
"It was a great experience for us," Wetumpka quarterback J.D
Best team?&nbsp;Former Wetumpka head coach John Maddaloni led the Indians to their other previous state semifinal appearance in 1995
Maddaloni spent 12 seasons as Wetumpka head coach and his 1995 team finished with a 13-1 record
Maddaloni said he thinks the 2017 Wetumpka team will go down as the 'best' in school history
"You ask anyone on that team or anyone in this town
and they'll tell you they want them to do it," Maddaloni said
"I'm just so proud of these kids and it would make my year to see them win it all."
Nix is back: Pinson Valley head coach Patrick Nix played quarterback at Auburn from 1992-1995.&nbsp;
Nix replaced the injured Stan White and led the Tigers to a 22-14 win over Alabama in 1993
helping to preserve Auburn's undefeated season
is the starting quarterback for Pinson Valley
The junior&nbsp;has offers from&nbsp;Alabama
Nix was name the most valuable player of&nbsp;Friday's game after&nbsp;throwing for 223 yards and a touchdown&nbsp;against Wetumpka
Coach: Alabama Christian&nbsp;football coach Nate Sanford took time to visit the Indians on Wednesday
Sanford completed his first season as head coach following a year as ACA's offensive coordinator in 2016
"I'm just trying to learn like everyone else," Sanford said
Sanford led the Eagles to the&nbsp;first 10-win season in school history and their first state&nbsp;quarterfinal&nbsp;since 2000
Turner turnovers: Wetumpka safety Nick Turner continued his strong play in Friday's state title game
Turner's interception of Nix late in the second quarter was his third in the last two games and preserved Wetumpka's 10-7 halftime lead
Turner had two interceptions in the 6A semifinal win over Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa
returning one for a 35-yard touchdown in the second half
Turner came into Friday's game with six interceptions and two return touchdowns for Wetumpka
Early arrival:&nbsp;Some fans may have taken the day off
but the students got a chance to get an early start on their trip to Tuscaloosa
Autauga and Elmore counties'&nbsp;authorities issued an advisory&nbsp;Friday afternoon that roads and bridges in the the counties&nbsp;were deemed "impassable" until further notice
Elmore County schools dismissed at noon on Friday due to the weather conditions
The Elmore County basketball tournament scheduled for this weekend has also been&nbsp;cancelled
First timers:&nbsp;After three days of state championship football
three schools took home the blue trophy&nbsp;for the first time
Hillcrest-Evergreen knocked off Randolph County&nbsp;in Class 3A and Pinson Valley defeated Wetumpka&nbsp;in Class 6A

vice-like piece of climbing protection created specifically for the Guillotine Flake on Squamish’s Grand Wall
a climb on which traditional gear wouldn’t suffice
Maddaloni was “pretty much bad at all sports I ever tried,” he says
so I got into climbing and completely immersed myself in it.” Up until several years ago
he spent 25 days establishing Midnight Watch (VII 5.10 A4+) at Gibbs Fjord
“I lost motivation and got into white-water kayaking pretty heavily,” he says
these other sports began to build up opposing climbing muscles
and then “I was able to get strong again [for climbing] without any complications.”
Tell me about the Anticam.I came up with the idea about eight years ago
It was centered around a particular route that otherwise would have required bolts to climb it—a huge
expanding flake that weighs thousands of pounds
Most climbers in Squamish knew about this feature and knew it was unclimbable
The first version of the Anticam didn’t have a large expansion range
so it was severely limited on where it could be used
and when I fall-tested it with back-up gear
it blew off the rock and whaled into my hand
This made me realize the need for two things: a one-handed operation and a larger expansion range
What was unique about the Guillotine Flake
   The route is an endurance workout as the wall is truly vertical with absolutely no feet—not even one
Just power underclinging while pasting your feet to a blank wall
 I broke my ankle while kite boarding last August in Squamish
But the injury meant I was left with a lot of time on my hands
and was able to solve the issues of the Anticam
After exploring many similar machines on the Internet
I discovered a device that I could modify to give a huge expansion range with a large degree of settings
and make it possible to place with one hand
I quickly learned that a simple solution is always the best
 It represented everything I like about the sport: adventure
I’m not sure if anyone will ever use the Anticam again
It was a grand adventure every step of the way
 I knew I wasn’t going to sell a lot of them
so instead I decided to give away the ideas
I put all the info and blueprints on a forum and started the discussion with whoever wanted to keep developing it
Ashton Maddaloni of Eclectic won the girls 15-18 division of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour's Major Championship at Silver Lakes in Glencoe last weekend

Matt Maddaloni on University Wall (IV 5.12 900&#8242;)
Maddaloni used one of Squamish&#8217;s detached flakes as testing grounds for the Anticam
a new type of climbing hardware of his own invention
Maddaloni made the first ascent of this single-pitch
expanding flake using a new piece of pro called the Anticam
A technical drawing of Version 1 of the Anticam with a removable bolt that allowed Maddaloni to expand and place the gear with one hand and a cord to engage the lobes with the other
Though Version 1 did hold short falls it was bulky
had a limited expansion range and required two hands to place
Version 2 of the Anticam with a few improvements over the prototype
The most notable change is the  threaded rod that gave the Anticam a broader expansion range and allowed it to be placed with one hand

The Titan was first climbed by Matt Maddaloni in 2010 at 5.13c, it climbs the biggest granite roof in Squamish. The monster cave line is unrepeated as of spring 2019.
A 5.12 thin-crack leads to the roof, which consists of 10 metres of slightly overhanging climbing before entering a chimney at the actual roof. The steep climbing continues for 17 more metres requiring gymnastic crack and sport climbing tactics before reaching the first set of anchors. Before it was sent, climbers like Steve Townsend, Tim Emmett, Tony McLane and Marc Andre Leclerc tried it.
The impressive looking route has multiple cruxes and requires a variety of climbing techniques including jamming, armbars, kneebars and sloper strength. &#8220;Squamish&#8217;s biggest and steepest roof bar none,&#8221; said Maddaloni, who&#8217;s hoping someone heads out to give it a try.
