improved growth performance in male Bianca di Saluzzo chickens Photo: CanvaBlack soldier fly (BSF) larvae supplementation in the diet of the slow-growing breed Bianca di Saluzzo has been found to improve growth without compromising animal health or meat quality Researchers from the University of Turin wanted to look at sustainable protein sources in poultry feed and knew that BSF larvae are a promising solution due to their high protein content and sustainable production past research has focused on fast-growing breeds while the effects on native breeds have been less explored The study therefore aimed to evaluate the impact of BSF larvae supplementation in the diet of slow-growing chickens The experiment involved 144 male Bianca di Saluzzo chickens and housed in the university’s experimental facility There were 6 replicates of 8 birds for each of the 3 treatments Read more about black soldier fly larvae and other insects as feed by visiting All About Feed ending when the birds reached 174 days of age with an intermediate slaughter at 147 days to assess potential age-related effects Two birds per replicated were selected based on average live weight resulting in a total of 36 birds per slaughter The 3 dietary treatments were tested: the control group (c) received a basal diet adapted to niche poultry market using local ingredients of maize meal (46.1%) apparent metabolisable energy (11.8 MJ/kg) The 3 experimental groups were given the same basal diet with an addition of 5% of the expected daily dry matter intake either as dehydrated or live black soldier fly larvae ALSO READ: Alternative protein sources for poultry diets Mortality and health status were monitored daily throughout the study and from 39 days the birds’ live weight and feed intake were recorded every 21 days with a feed conversion ratio calculated The study showed that BSF larvae supplementation with an increase in final weights compared to the control group No significant differences were found in feed conversion ratio liver and spleen weight or histomorphometry between the groups BSF larvae supplementation did not negatively affect immune function or liver metabolism Higher production propionic acid was detected in the BSF larvae-fed groups compared to the control suggesting an effect on volatile fatty acid production Gut microbiota analysis showed an increase in beneficial bacteria ALSO READ: Black soldier fly larvae research boost for UK poultry sector the meat fatty acid profile and atherogenicity and thrombogenicity indices did not undergo significant changes implying a low potential risk to consumers’ cardiovascular health The scientists said the absence of negative effects on meat lipids confirmed the nutritional safety for consumers making BSF

Sauro’s turn to describe what she did this summer when classes resume in August her experiences trump the rest of the classroom The freshman from Williamstown recently wrapped up a perfect showing at the Class A State Track and Field Meet in Charleston with four first-place finishes as the Yellowjacket girls program claimed its third straight team championship Before Sauro transitions to her sophomore year she is busy training for a dream experience which will take her to Italy later this month Sauro joins seven other American runners who will represent the United States in the International U18 Mountain Running Cup in Saluzzo “I didn’t know much about the competition when I was told I was going,” Sauro said “I know I will get to meet a bunch of new friends and try a new course My mom (Michelle Elliott) and I are leaving June 22 We will do some sightseeing for a couple of days and do fun stuff like that.” The 4.35 kilometer race includes 155 meters of ascent and descent 550 meters around the center of Saluzzo before taking the competitors on a long loop of 3.8 kilometers up onto the hillside to the west of the town The event is sponsored by the World Running Association (WMRA) Sauro dominated the distance events this past track season She also placed second at the state cross country meet in the fall “Since this race has lots of mountains I’m trying to train on hills as much as possible,” Sauro said “I’ve been going to Wayne National Forest “I’ve been running between 35 and 40 miles a week and getting as many hills in my training I’ve also done a couple of speed workouts.” Sauro has been running on a competitive level since she turned in her basketball sneakers in fifth grade “I had to work as hard as I could to get to the point where I am now,” Sauro said Sauro is joined by two girls from Colorado (Rosie Mucharsky-O’Boyle and Milaina Almonte) and another representing Pennsylvania (Victoria Rodriguez) Almonte attends Colorado powerhouse Battle Mountain High School France and Italy have enjoyed recent success at this international event figures to be in the hunt along with Turkey Czech Republic and Poland among the top challengers “These girls will be really good and doing the same workouts as myself,” Sauro said but I am excited to compete against this competition.” Contact Kerry Patrick at kpatrick@newsandsentinel.com BELPRE

Department of Dermatology has been awarded this year's Egon Macher Prize by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Dermatologische Forschung The award recognizes Saluzzo's research into the increased risk of cancer in HIV-infected individuals due to human papillomaviruses the Dermatological Research Association (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Dermatologische Forschung) announces a number of different research awards to promote international scientific work in the field of dermatology The Egon Macher Prize is awarded to young scientists for particularly outstanding scientific work in experimental dermatology Early treatment and diagnosis increases life expectancy of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)-infected individuals to levels comparable to the general population Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for inhibits viral replication and reduces HIV viral load to such an extent that the virus is no longer detectable in the blood This restores the number of CD4+ T-cells in the blood and the risk of opportunistic infections HIV-positive people are still at increased risk of developing skin and mucosal cancers in particular due to human papillomaviruses (HPV) HPV-related cervical cancers are observed 6x more frequently in HIV-positive women and and HPV-related anal cancers 34x more frequently in HIV-positive men the mechanisms underlying the increased risk for HPV-induced skin and mucosal cancers in HIV patients despite ART and good immune reconstitution of circulating CD4+ T cells Human skin hosts to a large number of resident memory T cells (Trm cells) which are important for immunological protection against viral infection and the development of cancerous cells Saluzzo's study therefore investigated skin- and mucosa-resident memory T cells in HIV+ individuals with the aim of understanding their possible involvement in development of HPV-related cancers Using immunofluorescence analyses of skin biopsies the researchers found that dermal Trm cells are depleted in the early stages of HIV infection while early initiation of ART subsequently restored the number of CD4+ Trm cells in the skin of HIV patients this was not the case in those with initially highly depleted levels of CD4+ T cells in the blood (low nadir) These so-called "late presenters" displayed irreversible loss of dermal Trm cells and evidence of greater potential for tumorigenesis in the skin and mucosa In single-cell sequencing coupled with sequencing of the T-cell receptor the researchers were able to show that there were significantly fewer Trm cells in precancerous skin lesions of "late presenters" compared to precancerous lesions of HIV-negative individuals These data underscore the importance of starting ART early in HIV-positive people and provide a basis for further research to prevent the development of skin cancer the findings may also have implications for other patients at increased risk of developing skin and mucosal cancers and similar phenomena could play a role in patients who are immunosuppressed following an organ transplant About Simona Saluzzo Simona Saluzzo studied human medicine in Turin and completed a PhD in basic immunology research at the Medical University of Vienna in the research laboratory of Sylvia Knapp Since starting her specialist medical training at the Department of Dermatology Simona Saluzzo has been researching immunological issues

Charges filed against 65 of the suspects included mafia association and transnational drug trafficking while six were charged with money laundering for allegedly creating shell companies and reinvesting ill-gotten money The cradle of the ‘Ndrangheta is the southern Italian province of Calabria but the network has spread to the north and beyond Italy’s borders Explaining the syndicate’s methods of gaining power Italy's Fiscal Police Regional General said that the members’ criminal reputations precede them noth and they don’t even have to resort to violence to get what they want Legitimate businessmen feeling threatened tend to hand over their activity even more so if they are going through financial hardship the willing or unwilling cooperation of white collars grants them access to sophisticated company structures to hide their assets and reinvest their money,” Grassi said A renowned lawyer and an accountant were among those arrested in Operation Cerberus One tipped the group about prosecutors' actions early on prompting stronger precautions among other suspects Prosecutors believe this resulted in establishing shell companies and managing the assets structure reinvesting the ill-gotten money in business –  gambling and the food industry in this case – grants them control over a specific territory,” Grassi said Among the suspects are one of ‘Ndrangheta's

committed in 2008 and while behind bars he was crowned “Padrino” - a high profile title in the secretive ‘Ndrangheta hierarchy Agresta became one of many informants and  exposed several members of his own family Five of them were arrested in Operation Cerberus He told prosecutors that “studying” had changed him anti-mafia national prosecutor Federico Cafiero De Raho said that “despite continuous repressive operations ‘Ndrangheta clans continue to expand their criminal capabilities and businesses.” “About €3 billion worth of mafia assets have been either confiscated or seized by Italian authorities since the beginning of 2019,” Italy's Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese said at a parliamentary hearing last week Dozens of police operations and hundreds of arrests are made every year

Mother Elvira Petrozzi, who founded the Cenacle Community in 1983 to minister to teen drug addicts Mother Elvira passed away at the House of Formation of the Comunità Cenacolo during an annual celebration called the Festival of Life and friends belonging to the Cenacle Community came from around the world to Saluzzo to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the apostolate Many took the opportunity to bid Mother Elvira farewell as it appeared she was nearing the end of her life.  who was instrumental in bringing the Cenacle Community to the United States in 1993 “Cenacolo Community members in the United States are experiencing the loss of this special woman and happiness in Jesus Christ through her Cenacolo communities in Florida and Alabama.” Bishop Baker said that during the Festival of Life in Saluzzo he “was fortunate to offer a prayer at Mother Elvira Petrozzi’s bedside.” “She has reminded her Cenacolo family members that ‘life does not die’ and that we should not mourn but rejoice when God calls her to eternity,” the bishop said Philip Neri who sang ‘paradiso’ when he died Mother Elvira’s close community members sang the same way on her death because they believe she is now embraced by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and all the angels and saints in heaven.” Albino Argano, director of Comunità Cenacolo America and one of the men who established the first community in St said Friday that Mother Elvira always encouraged him and reminded him “that life is precious and that life needs to be lived fully … to never be afraid to do God’s will Because of this I can say that in all these years I can see that our community has kept on going even through so many difficulties because good always prevails.” Pope Francis spoke about Mother Elvira and her community “I send my heartfelt greeting to the Cenacolo Community which has been a place of hospitality and human promotion for 40 years,” he said following his Angelus address Mother Elvira was the fourth of seven children the family experienced marginalization and poverty Rita’s father was often drunk and unemployed had to work outside the home to support the family Rita spent much of her time helping her to care for the other children The experience of dealing with an alcoholic father gave Elvira insights that she could call upon later in life in helping drug addicts The family was so poor that Rita could not afford a pair of shoes and was often unable to go to church on Sundays she stood before a Lourdes grotto and felt a special union with Mary "Tell Jesus to call me!" she prayed to the Madonna.  although Elvira was dating and had visions of starting a large family she felt a strong calling to dedicate her life to God and serve the poor She left her boyfriend and informed her family of her decision to enter the convent where she entered the Sisters of Charity of St She spent about 28 years with the community working in a hospital kitchen located in Turin or teaching in a kindergarten in Saluzzo A biography provided by the Cenacle Community described Sister Elvira as a joyful nun ‘like a fire,’ an inner drive increasingly compelling her to dedicate herself to the youth she feels as if she can hear their ‘cries’ of pain.” "I saw them 'without a shepherd,' without points of reference and yet sad and dead in their hearts," the nun is quoted as saying Sister Elvira was finally given permission from her superiors to embark on a new path run-down villa from the Municipality of Saluzzo a town in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont) She decided to call the community after the name of the “Upper Room,” the Cenacle where Jesus had the Last Supper with his disciples “Mother Elvira’s emphasis was on the Eucharist and devotion to the Blessed Mother as a source of healing,” Bishop Baker of Birmingham told the National Catholic Register in 2018 As Mother Elvira and her collaborators began to fix up the abandoned villa in Saluzzo young men addicted to drugs began seeking refuge there Elvira tried to learn from them what they needed in order to change their lives she could see that they were hungry for God She also felt they needed a life structured around work discovering that within you lies the strength and dignity for a new life." the site in Bosnia and Herzegovina of alleged apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary The presence of many international pilgrims there led to the Cenacle Community becoming known worldwide The community soon opened up to abandoned and marginalized children and adolescents Mother Elvira sent the first group of missionary men and women to Brazil "Cenacolo families" were formed – men and women who felt the call to consecrate themselves in the Community there are 72 houses in 20 countries of the world The community received diocesan canonical approval in 1998 and the Vatican recognized it as an international association of the faithful in 2009 “The members of the Community pursue their own personal sanctification by living a strongly Eucharistic and Marian spirituality, in trusting and total abandonment to Divine Providence,” according to the Dicastery for Laity “They are committed to the free acceptance of and service towards those who especially because of drugs and other addictions “We are the first witnesses of God’s miracle that was never thought of or planned at a table It surpasses us and surprises us for which we are partakers by grace.” She spent the last years of her life in the community’s House of Formation she often urged her community not to be sad when the day of her passing came.  “When they say: ‘Elvira is dead!’ you must sing Something magnificent will open wide before me … life doesn’t die!” Articles like these are sponsored free for every

Alessandra Chiappano Image by Courtesy Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino a distant relative of Primo Levi who fought as a wartime anti-Nazi partisan is the sole survivor of a family of thirteen from Saluzzo in northwest Italy; the rest were murdered in Auschwitz a Berlin war claims conference bizarrely denied Levi any compensation for this loss because he was a member of the Italian Resistance the story of an Italian partisan and Auschwitz survivor “Voices of the Italian Jewish Resistance” assembles previously unpublished or little-known texts by such writers as the architect Eugenio Gentili Tedeschi) Among Gentili Tedeschi’s postwar projects were to rebuild Milan’s Central Synagogue on the via Guastalla and the Hebrew school on via Sally Mayer; he was also a captivating writer “Stardust,” Gentili Tedeschi describes how as his group of Jewish partisans marched in the countryside they would whistle the melody of the Hoagy Carmichael pop standard “Stardust,” with one combatant starting and the others picking it up in unison “just as would be seen many years later in the film ‘Bridge on the River Kwai.’” This unusual choice of martial music was inspired by his generation’s deep involvement in a “bunch of symbols the New Deal as filtered through the movies of Frank Capra…” For these youngsters, whistling “Stardust” was a “radiantly optimistic rendition, our salute to humanity pledged to oppose the universe of hatred constructed by the Fascists and German violence.” Other writings, first published in “Ha Keillah,” a bi-monthly produced by Turin’s Jewish community include “A Dream” a 1978 essay by the author and educator Ada Della Torre another cousin of Primo Levi who recalls how in the years 1942-3 the unruffled Levi would teach her about “Freud and astronomy… pointing to the sky and saying It’s Capella [the brightest star in the constellation Auriga]…’” These bright stars deserve to be remembered Watch a video inspired by exhibits curated by

Italy –Alyssa Sauro’s world-class speed was fully realized on Sunday as the Williamstown High distance runner came away victorious during the International U18 Mountain Running Cup The field featured dozens of runners from around the world as Sauro outran all of them to claim the win in 18:03 In the months leading up to the race through Saluzzo Sauro and her coaches prepared by having her run in places with steep inclines to simulate the mountainous setting the 3.35 kilometer race (which comes out to 2.7 miles for any Americans keeping track “I had no idea this would happen,” Sauro admitted of her win I didn’t know too much about anyone going in but I said congratulations (to England’s Rebecca Flaherty) but it’s great to get better with the coaches Flaherty finished just a couple seconds off Sauro’s winning pace as the international cross country gold medalist couldn’t keep up with Sauro’s biggest asset: her final gear “Mike and Cliff Taylor did her training workouts with her before she went over there,” assistant cross country coach Larry Cassady said “We just found out a couple months ago that she was going to be running over there and we were still going into the regional and the state meet We had to be really careful with her training she started training for the race over there That race consisted of steps and some pretty significant hills We took her over to Marietta and let her run on those middle school steps over there Marys and put her on a hill that’s about a mile up (on route 16).” Cassady added that Sauro kept her blistering pace up after the state meet Head cross country coach Mike Taylor saw the best of Sauro this past season as she notched a second-place finish in the state cross country meet in Ona She also broke a myriad of school and state records en route to helping the WHS girls’ track team to a third-straight state championship “We talked about getting her on that (international) team and we thought she’d be a good candidate for it,” he said so we looked through some past events they had over there We saw that she had to run up a bunch of stairs and steep hills The elevation gain over there is about 500 feet We also went up to Wayne National Forest next to Frontier High School and used the trails so we utilized all that and the Broughton trails just trying to mimmick the race the best we could.” Not only was this victory symbolic of her hard work but it serves as just one memory in a whole list of them for the cross country standout The experience for Sauro is one she won’t soon forget as the sophomore-to-be recalled all the things that made her time in Italy so memorable “We would go out for coffee and go out for bike rides,” Sauro said of what she did with her American teammates during any downtime they had just to spend time with the team and the coaches.” Sauro was one of seven Americans to make the trek to Italy as three other girls from across the States (Rosie Mucharsky-O’Boyle Milaina Almonte and Victoria Rodriguez) made up the four-person Sauro is taking a beat just to catch her breath before the next moment in her young running career and the course was really fun and challenging,” she said

in the upper Maira valley developing a very personal style within the Italian Divisionism movement through his friendship with Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo and Giovanni Segantini After training at the Accademia Albertina in Turin Olivero moved to Saluzzo in 1905 and set up his studio in Salita al Castello a few steps from the museum now dedicated to him The collection of works by Matteo Olivero acquired by the Municipality of Saluzzo consists of what was found in his studio at the time of his death (1932) conserved in the Historical Archive in Castiglia A selection of the most significant works from the entire municipal collection is on display at the Pinacoteca: 67 paintings with the aim of understanding the artist’s working method and the evolution of his style The itinerary is divided into four exhibition areas on the basis of four themes (the time of social realism his working method) to rediscover the human and artistic life of a great artist popularly known as the

it’s done in Edinburgh Edinburgh ran out winners in a scoreline that did not reflect the effort and commitment of an Italian side who never gave up The visitors chose to start the game and a promising first set of six for Edinburgh saw Mark Robertson run from inside his own half only to be tackled short of the try line This was perhaps a sign of things to come although the early stages saw both sides complete their sets with neither dominating until a high ball from Eagles on the 5th tackle near the Saluzzo line wasn’t dealt with and Nick Hanmer was on hand to pick up the bouncing ball to run in under the post for the first try of the afternoon converted by Stuart McBain to give Edinburgh a 6 – 0 lead the Eagles continued to pressure the Roosters disrupting their rhythm with some strong tackles and continuing to stay on top by allowing the ball do the work in the warm conditions using the full width across the field as they sought to find a way through the Italian defensive line This finally paid dividends when the hard running Doug Watters was on the end of a cross field movement in the left centre position to go over for the second try of the afternoon to give Eagles a 10-0 lead neither side let the intensity drop and the defence from both teams was ferocious which saw a number of players taken off for injuries The enforced breaks in play did disrupt the flow of the game but not the determination of the Eagles to put on a good display in front of the onlooking spectators who boasted two Scotland Rugby League representatives among then all of whom would have been entertained with what they were seeing Saluzzo had the first chance of the half to score but were unable to get over the whitewash This resulted in an Eagles attack which saw a high ball bouncing desperately in the Saluzzo in-goal area and finally picked up by a Saluzzo player who was able to evade Eagles defenders to race down the field much to the disappointment of the watching crowd who by this time wanted the visitors to score Although the Saluzzo defence was tighter in the second half Eagles remained in the mood to score and finish the game with two tries the scorers were the same as those who rounded off the scoring in the first half.This time though ran in on the left edge after running over two tired defenders to leave the final score at Eagles 44 – 4 Saluzzo North West Roosters Eagles coach Barry McGuffog said; “I’d like to thank Paolo staff and supporters who made the trip over and contested what was a highly entertaining game played in great spirit They’re in a similar position to ourselves in terms domestic fixtures so play their regular rugby in the south of France.” “Obviously it was disappointing that Strathmore pulled out on Friday afternoon but after some quick discussions with Paolo at the Roosters and with our lads we were able to get a full sided game arranged in place of the 9’s which ultimately will have benefited our guys more We got another eighty minutes under our belts and were able to build on last week’s performance righting a few wrongs and putting things we’ve practiced in training this week in place We’ve got Cramlington away next week which allows us to continue building towards the cup game against Gateshead Storm on the 26th.” Images from the match will appear here over the next few days The Edinburgh Reporter brings you

Highlights: Running rampant against Bears NSW Cup Match Report: Half century knocked up at oval Ashford: It’s a special club and a special group of boys And speaking of the top of the class, the 1-0 victory on the Oltrepò pitch, thanks to Sganzerla's goal in the 14th minute of the second half, confirmed the crisis of the home team. The team coached by Maurizio Parolini is unable to break the taboo of San Contardo, where it hasn't won since last November 11, when it beat Asti 3-1. The team from Broni is in fact fourth from bottom with 26 points and in the playout zone.
