9 Underrated Festivals and Events in Italy
We look beyond Carnevale, Palio and the Biennale to bring you Italy's best under-the-radar festivals and events.
Italy's most famous festivals, such as the Palio of Siena and the Venice Biennale, get all the attention from tourists. We think it's time to explore a little further afield and discover the bel paese's lesser-known and under-appreciated festivals. On your next trip, join the locals at one of these unique events.
Feast of San Gennaro
San Gennaro is the protector and patron saint of Naples and every year on his feast day, September 19, the city celebrates in his honour. A statue of the saint is carried through the streets and the faithful gather in Naples Cathedral, hoping to witness a modern-day miracle. The church holds two vials of San Gennaro's blood and, after an hour of intense prayer by the congregation, they miraculously liquefy. If the blood stays solid, it is thought to be a bad omen for all of bella Napoli.
Marino Wine Festival
Perugia is famous for its chocolate and every October over one million visitors head to the city for the nine-day EuroChocolate festival. The open-air event takes place in the central streets and piazzas, and features food stands, free tastings and workshops, as well as plenty of opportunities to stock up on your favourite brands. Don't miss the skilled sculptors, who carve giant blocks of chocolate into edible artworks.
Infiorata di Genzano
A number of infiorate take place across Italy but that of Genzano in Lazio is perhaps the most famous – and the most ancient. The annual flower festival is held on the Catholic holiday of Corpus Christi and sees the streets of Genzano carpeted with elaborate artworks made of petals. After three days of gorgeous floral artistry, local children are given the go-ahead to run amok and destroy the displays. In 2018, the festival celebrated its 240th edition.
Sagra degli Agrumi
The Sagra degli Agrumi marks the end of the citrus season in the town of Muravera in Sardinia and, as you might expect, features all kinds of local delicacies and delicious citrus foodstuffs. More surprising, though, are the grotesque and terrifying furry monsters that rampage through the town. This parade of animal-like creatures is thought to have descended from the pagan rituals once performed by the island's ancient farming communities.
Umbria Jazz
Every July, singers, musicians and music-lovers descend on the city of Perugia for the 10-day Umbria Jazz festival. Since the event's founding in 1973, world-class artists such as Chet Baker, Miles Davis and Dee Dee Bridgewater have played to the crowds. It's not just names from the world of jazz either; Elton John, Lady Gaga and even Prince have all made appearances too. Concerts take place at piazzas, gardens, pubs and bars across town, as well as at the Arena Santa Giuliana, Teatro del Pavone and Basilica Papale di San Pietro.
Il Gioco del Ponte
Held on the last Saturday of June, the Game of the Bridge takes place on the oldest bridge in Pisa, the Ponte di Mezzo. Teams representing neighbourhoods north of the Arno River compete against teams from neighbourhoods to the south of the river in a tug of war competition across the bridge. The team to win the most battles (by pushing an iron cart over to the opponent's side) earns the adoration of the crowd and bragging rights for the rest of the year.
Fiera Internazionale del Tartufo Bianco d'Alba
Alba's white truffle fair, held annually throughout October and November, celebrates one of Italy's most treasured, and decadent, ingredients: the truffle. The Piedmont region is famous for its particular type of white truffle, as well as other delicacies like Barolo wine and meat-stuffed agnolotti pasta, making this the perfect event for foodies. Be sure to bring a full wallet, as one kilo (35 ounces) of tartufi bianchi can cost between €2,500 (£2,217) and €5,000 (£4,435), depending on the year's harvest.
La Festa dei Ceri
On 15 May each year, the town of Gubbio in Umbria celebrates its patron saint, St Ubaldo, by hosting an unusual type of race. The bizarre spectacle involves the townspeople carrying five-metre (16-foot) wooden 'candles' through winding medieval streets to the top of Mount Ingino, which overlooks the town. Though the participants – dressed in yellow, blue or black, depending on their team – run as fast as they can, the starting positions never change and so St Ubaldo's team always wins.

Gerald Gambs, Jr., PE, MME ::::
Case Synopsis: A large, rubber-tiered straddle crane, 50 feet tall and 75 feet wheelbase, was being operated in a rail yard, loading and unloading 40 foot containers. At the end of the graveyard shift, the operator executed a "swing" turn across a triple track, in order that the only operational cab would be on the optimum side for the next shift. During the swing turn, one of the wheels buckled under the frame and the crane collapsed. During the collapse, the turntable bearing at the wheel yoke-to-frame interface ruptured.
Expert Analysis: While investigating the scene, on behalf of the Bearing Company, it was determined that the turntable bearing in question had been secured to the frame by 24 screws (3/4 inch UNC grade 8 hex-head screws). Twelve (12) of the screws had been pulled apart. Exemplar screws, manufactured by the same company, were procured and sent to a mechanical testing lab for tensile testing. It took nearly 60,000 pounds to pull one screw apart. Since 12 screws failed, the load experienced by the bearing was in excess of 150,000 pounds. Additionally, the load from the most heavily loaded screw would be shared by adjacent screws to some degree, based on the gap that opened between the bearing and the frame as each screw stretched apart. The bearing was only rated for 22,000 pounds.
Result: The Bearing Company was excused from the case due to the fact that the bearing was grossly overloaded, well beyond the design load.

Supreme Court directs Centre to implement river interlinking
The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Centre to implement the ambitious interlinking of rivers project in a time-bound manner and appointed a high-powered committee for its planning and implementation.
Observing that the project has already been delayed resulting in an increase in its cost, a three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice S H Kapadia said the Centre and the concerned State governments should participate for its "effective" implementation "in a time-bound manner".

The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled today that electronic images of voted ballots should be open for public inspection, provided the voter's identity cannot be discerned from the ballot. The ruling could have a major impact on Colorado election law, though today's decision likely is not the end of the fight.
Earlier this month, Secretary of State Scott Gessler said he would use the court's decision as guidance to begin the rulemaking process for how public reviews of voted ballots should be conducted. Gessler has said that public access to voted ballots will improve transparency, and therefore increase voter confidence in elections.
Colorado's county clerks association has maintained that ballots should be secret, and not subject to the Colorado Open Records Act. They have said they will fight efforts by Gessler or the public to review voted ballots, either in court or the General Assembly. Today's ruling stems from a case filed in Pitkin County by election activist Marilyn Marks.
Marks was one of multiple candidates who ran for Aspen mayor in 2009. For the first time, Aspen used a computerized tabulation system to determine the winner through new "instant runoff voting." Voters ranked candidates, and the computer system used those rankings to determine a winner, avoiding the need for a second, runoff election.
Marks was among the losing candidates. About a week after the deadline to contest the election, the clerk disclosed that there had been a discrepancy between the results tallied from the paper ballots and the electronic images created by the new system, so that the winning candidate actually won by more votes than originally announced.

Heads: Spirits from the beginning of the run that contain a high percentage of low boiling point alcohols and other compounds such as aldehydes and ethyl acetate. Hearts: The desirable middle alcohols from your run. Tails: A distillate containing a high percentage of fusel oil fusel oil Fusel alcohols or fuselol, also sometimes called fusel oils in Europe, are mixtures of several higher alcohols (those with more than two carbons, chiefly amyl alcohol) produced as a by-product of alcoholic fermentation.
Fusel alcohol – Wikipedia
and little alcohol at the end of the run.
What to do with tails in a moonshine run?
Collecting the Heart – Once the distiller makes the first cut, the heads are generally either disposed of or redistilled in able to collect more alcohol from them. After the distiller has decided that the quality of the incoming distillate is good enough to keep for drinking purposes, they will cut to "hearts".
- Hearts are ultimately what become the finished product.
- They contain the bulk of the ethanol we want along with flavors and aromas that make our spirit unique.
- All good things must come to an end, however.
- Eventually the emerging hearts distillate will steadily take on unpleasant aromas and flavors, sometimes even developing some bitterness.
This is when the distiller will make another cut and divert the distillate flow to another container for the remainder of the distillation run. The distillate at this point is called "tails" and it has increasingly lower amounts of alcohol. Additionally, higher amounts of bad aromas due to the growing amount of fusel alcohols come over in the still.

What is heads or tails used for?
Heads or Tails Ever wondered about the different sides of our coins? Heads or Tails is a great way to let fate make a decision for you. A coin toss tells AFL teams which end of the ground they're playing, and a flip of a coin can settle family arguments over pizza or Thai while watching the game at home. But of course, each side of the coin tells its own story.
What do tails taste like distilling?
Distilling Hearts & Tails – Foreshots NOTE: You should only use this alcohol as fuel or cleaner. Do not consume this part of your run! The first 5% or so of your run will consist of the fore shots. This 5% contains methanol. Generally, as a standard practice, you would throw out the first 250 ml per 20 liters as this part of your run will consist of these fore shots.
- However, since we'll be using this alcohol as a sanitizer/disinfectant product instead of a consumable spirit, you should keep them.
- Good rule of thumb is between 5ml/l wash to 10ml/l of you wash.
- The alcohols found in the fore shots and heads work great as strong cleaning agents, fire starters, de-greasers, and solvents.
Again, DO NOT consume these because they are toxic and will poison you and/or make you blind. Heads Next, comes the part of the distillate known as the heads. The heads make up 30% percent of your alcohol run. As mentioned above, you will find lots of different volatile alcohols in the heads of your run.
- One of the particularly volatile staples of the heads is known as Acetone.
- Acetone has a very distinct and solvent-like smell, making its identification easy to recognize.
- Just like the fore shots, you'll want to isolate these and use them as strong household cleaning agents and solvents.
- These are NOT for using on your skin.
NOTE: A great way of isolating both the fore shots and heads in your run is to bring your still to around 75 °C and keep it there for around 10 minutes. The alcohol produced during this duration will consist of only fore shots and heads. Once the condenser stops producing at 75 °C, you'll know that you've collected all of the more volatile alcohols that make up the fore shots and heads of the run.
Hearts The next 30% of your run will be the sweet spot of your alcohol run, known as the hearts. You'll want to raise the temperature of your still to 80 °C to 82 °C range to start collecting this portion of your distillate. As you get into the hearts portion of your run, you should notice that the solvent smell of acetone tapers off and is replaced with a sweet-smelling ethanol alcohol.
This is where practice makes perfect. In order to maximize high-quality hearts, you'll need to focus. You should be able to recognize the hearts by their sweet and neutral flavor. Taste just a bit of the distillate on your finger. The main giveaway is the sweet/smooth taste of ethanol.
- If you can identify where the acetone stops and the ethanol alcohols begin, you will be able to maximize the total amount of viable alcohol that you can use as sanitizer or disinfectant.
- Tails The last 35% of your alcohol run is made up of the tails.
- You can recognize the tails by sight, smell, and taste.
You'll see an oily film start to collect on the top of the distillate and be able to smell/taste a burnt type of flavor. The tails contain protein and carbohydrates from the wash that you don't want in your final product. Be sure to keep your tails because you can run them again as their own wash in the future to pull out a bit more useful product.
How much of a run is tails?
The Tails – After the run reaches about 205 degrees Fahrenheit or so, there may be more steam that makes its way into your distillate. There may also be other chemicals that burn at a higher temperature than ethanol, which can give this portion of the distillate a flavor that isn't quite what you're after.
- This part of the run is called the "tails" and can total as much as 20-30% of your run.
- Set the tails aside to be further distilled.
- At 212 degrees Fahrenheit, water boils.
- When the temperature in the pot of your still reaches 212 degrees, you can go ahead and turn off the heat source for your still.
- The temperature inside should maintain itself for a little while longer, then the temperature at the top of the column (the "onion head") should suddenly drop, signalling the end of your run.
You can keep collecting whatever distillate comes out of the condenser coil, but it's not worth boiling the water to get every drop of alcohol out of the alcohol wash. You'll end up with a lot of water in your tails, which will just be distilled out again anyhow. Mason jars are the traditional containers for moonshine distilling
What alcohols are in tails?
Who's Afraid of Heads, Hearts, and Tails? Introduction Heads, hearts, and tails. Three simple words. But they inspire awe and fear in the hearts of many beginning distillers. Should we be afraid of heads, hearts, and tails? This iStill Blog post aims to answer that question in a few simple steps.
- First, let's investigate what heads, hearts, and tails are.
- Then, we'll research their properties.
- As a third step, let us assess why heads, hearts, and tails are important – and often awe-inspiring.
- The final part of this blog post will propose a framework for you to manage heads, hearts, and tails cuts.
Heads, Hearts, and Tails: what are they? Not al alcohol is ethanol and not all alcohol is created equal. Where ethanol is intoxicating without being toxic, when consumed in moderate amounts, some other alcohols are actually quite toxic, even when consumed in very limited amounts.
- During distillation – especially in the lower power-input and higher-proof finishing runs – the good alcohol we call ethanol comes over in the middle, during the "heart" of the run.
- The other alcohols, with high toxicity, come over at the beginning and end of the finishing run.
- The first part of the run is therefor called "heads", while the last part is named "tails".
So basically heads and tails are phases during the distillation run, when overly toxic alcohols come over. Does it start to make sense why they are fear-inducing? Cut too many heads and tails into your hearts and you end up with a toxic spirit. Okay, the bad news is that heads and tails are really bad.
- The good news is that they only come over in the beginning and at the end of the run, and the actual amounts are small.
- But what are their properties? Let's dive in deeper.
- Heads, Hearts, and Tails: what are their properties? Scientifically, a better name for "heads" is "lower boiling point alcohols".
The alcohols with low boiling points come over early in the run. Think aceton or methanol. A better name for "tails" is "high boiling point alcohols". Propanol, butanol, and furfural come over late in the run, because they boil off at very high temperatures.
- Higher than ethanol, and sometimes higher than water.
- In general, low boiling point alcohols cause head-aches.
- High boiling point alcohols create stomach problems.
- Mnemonic? Heads give head-aches, where tails create tail-end issues.
- Floral and fruity flavors come over during the first part of the distillation run.
Floral and fruity flavors associate with heads. Rooty, nutty, and earthy flavors come over during the last part of the run and associate with tails. Do you feel a catch 22 coming? Here it is. If you want to cut out all heads, you'll cut out all floral and fruity flavors as well.
Do you want to get rid of tails? Great, stills (or run procedures) can do that for you. But you'll loose all rooty, nutty, and earthy flavors as well. Why are heads, hearts, and tails important – and awe-inspiring? Cut in too many heads and you end up with a spirit that causes head-aches. Cut out too many heads and you end up with a spirit that lost its floral and fruity flavors.
Idem for tails. Do you start to see why cutting for heads, hearts, and tails is important – and awe-inspiring at the same time? Good cuts make great product. Poor cuts destroy your product. In a way a good distiller is someone that knows how to make great cuts.
In a way a great still is a machine that controls the cut-points for heads, hearts, and tails to perfection. In a way distilling comes down to cutting. So far, the industry has seen two approaches on how to deal with this issue. Big Alcohol has often been accused to just cut everything in. It explains the morning-afters.
It makes for a good amount of profit, since the manufacturer doesn't have to cut out anything and all alcohols produced end up in a bottle. A bottle being sold to you. The second school of thought, that started with the birth of craft distillation, aimed to cut out heads and tails all-together.
The result? You can guess it, right? Uninteresting spirits. Our insight, based on science, brought a third way of looking at heads, hearts, and tails to the forefront: the one we shared above, where heads, hearts, and tails have both positive and negative properties. It's not about cutting them in or out, it is about the flavor profile you want to high-light as a distiller, when producing a certain spirit! A Framework for Managing Heads, Hearts, and Tails First, decide what spirit you want to make and what the associated flavor profile is.
Some examples? Here you go. Vodka aims for a minimal flavor experience at high purity, so you'll want to cut out all heads and all tails. Less flavor, more purity, less toxicity. Whisky is flavorful and full bodied. Incorporate late heads and early tails, and only cut out the early heads and late tails.
You'll get all the flavor, while controlling – to an extend – overall toxicity levels. Fruit brandy? Fruity flavors are found in the heads, so cut out all the tails, and cut out only the very first bit of the heads. Secondly, choose the right type of still. A potstill sucks at compacting heads and tails and is therefor a great tool for whisky making, where you need both the late heads and early tails to smear into hearts.
Bubble cap stills offer great defense against tails smearing, which makes them very well suited for fruit brandy production. iStills, with their elaborate control systems and automated cuts management, can make any spirit to perfection. Thirdly, please understand that low and high boiling point alcohols (and their associated flavors) are developed during fermentation, not during distillation.
Distillation is simply a way to control them. In other words: if you want to create a certain flavor profile, for a certain product, with a certain still, well, it actually all starts with your fermentation protocols! If you ferment in such a way that no flavors and no toxic alcohols are formed, you are already almost at vodka level purity, even before starting-up your still.
That is great if vodka was your goal, but not so good when making whisky. The opposite holds true as well: a flavorful ferment is a great base for whisky making, but not for vodka production. The fourth step should actually be the first step. Learn more about still design, about spirit flavor profiles, about how fermentation influences heads, hearts, and tails production.

Drake and The Weeknd have always had a complicated relationship. From linking up in 2011 to their rumored falling out in 2013, complete with subliminal disses on both sides, the two musicians have always had a connection– whether through their shared Canadian heritage or their similarly moody, R&B-infused music.
Recently, it seems as though they've all but mended fences and renewed their friendship. Drake made a cameo in The Weeknd's music video for "Reminder," last week, and Weeknd returned the favor in spectacular fashion when he dropped by Drake's Boy Meets World Tour on Saturday. The two shocked the crowd and Germany, as The Weeknd performed his recent hits "The Hills" and "Starboy." Check out the video below.
Given this sudden reunion, and the fact that Drake is prepping the release of his playlist project More Life, the question many have had on their tongue is: can we expect another Drake-Weeknd collaboration to be on the tracklist?
It's a rumor that HNHH addressed earlier this year when they listed 12 artists who could potentially feature on More Life. The article says the chances are low given that the two aren't on good terms, but as can be seen by the latest developments, things have made a drastic change for the better.
SOHH also reported that the duo were back in the studio this month, and posting pictures of themselves together live the one below. The "OVOXO" caption is a combination of Drake's OVO and The Weeknd's XO record labels.
With these context clues, The Weeknd's cryptic tweet quoting Drake, and the fact that online threads have been throwing around a potential song title ("Remember, My Love"), we'd say the chances of seeing The Weeknd joining the More Life party are high. We'll know for sure when it premieres this Saturday (March 4) on OVO Sound Radio.

Vancouver Fringe Festival moves ahead, staggering dates for 2020 event through fall
The Vancouver Fringe Festival has announced it will spread its programming through the fall.
It says it will put an emphasis on socially distanced live performance by local artists, with a mix of digital programming. Shows take place during its previously scheduled dates of September 10 to 20, but then extending to dates in October, November, and possibly December.
"The in-person, concentrated Festival events will be held at fewer venues with limited capacity to meet the guidelines laid out in the BC Restart Plan and a safety plan will be in place and available to patrons, volunteers, and artists in advance," it announced to Fringe patrons yesterday.
The dates for shows so far are October 1 to 10, October 29 to November 8, and possibly November 26 thru December 6, with those days and programming to be confirmed in early September.

This paper describes an approach to extracting a predicate-argument structure (PAS) in building design rule sentences using natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning models. For the computer to reason about the compliance of building design, design rules represented by natural language must be converted into a computer-readable format. The rule interpretation and translation processes are challenging tasks because of the vagueness and ambiguity of natural language. Many studies have proposed approaches to address this problem, but most of these are dependent on manual tasks, which is the bottleneck to expanding the scope of design rule checking to design requirements from various documents. In this paper, we apply deep learning-based NLP techniques for translating design rule sentences into a computer-readable data structure. To apply deep learning-based NLP techniques to the rule interpretation process, we identified the semantic role elements of building design requirements and defined a PAS for design rule checking. Using a bidirectional long short-term memory model with a conditional random field layer, the computer can intelligently analyze constituents of building design rule sentences and automatically extract the logical elements. The proposed approach contributes to broadening the scope of building information modeling-enabled rule checking to any natural language-based design requirements.

MOLINEUX, WOLVERHAMPTON // Liverpool recovered from a calamitous first half with Wolves to maintain its unbeaten start to the new Premier League season, with Cody Gakpo netting a second-half equalizer and Andy Robertson completing the turnaround.
In a performance that was particularly poor in the opening 45 minutes, Liverpool improved significantly after the interval. It was still looking like a massive chance missed until Robertson poked home. Somehow, despite the fact that Wolves should have been out of sight, the Reds moved top of the league with a victory.
Jarell Quansah came through his first Premier League start with plenty of credit. He didn't do much wrong and kept calm amid the chaos around him. Robertson was the hero with a relatively late winning goal to snatch the points.

READ MORE: Liverpool change has given Diogo Jota a problem but elevated Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez
Alexis Mac Allister had a bit of a nightmare until he was taken off at the interval. He clearly wasn't ready to start after traveling back late from playing for Argentina earlier in the week. He was the worst, but he was far from the only player to have an off day. In the end, Robertson's goal meant that Liverpool got away with it.
Alisson Becker — 6
There was not a lot he could do. Sometimes you need a little bit of help from those in front of you.
Joe Gomez — 5
Pedro Neto had him on toast in the first half. Just when he starts to look good at center-back, he is moved to playing full-back because of injuries elsewhere. There was a hint of him playing the inverted role but he is just not that type of player. Improved in the second half in as much as the Liverpool defense was not under quite as much pressure but still had some hairy moments.
Joël Matip — 5
He simply doesn't have the pace to cope when players run directly at him. And there was a lot of that here.
Jarell Quansah — 6
An excellent debut. The chaos around him was not the debut he would have been hoping for but he did very well. Did his part to a good level and didn't panic when everything started to go wrong. Very positive.
Andy Robertson — 7
Kept going and tried to help Quansah out as much as he could before netting a late winner. It could be priceless later in the season and he stepped up with a big moment while wearing the armband.
Liverpool's home shirt for the 2023/2024 campaign pays homage to Bill Shankly and the legendary Reds manager's final season in charge at Anfield. The Nike shirt features a bright red design with a bold white contrast on the colour and cuffs.
Prices start from £59.95
NikeDominik Szoboszlai — 5
A completely different player to the one that Liverpool has been used to in the opening weeks. Just could not keep the ball. Got better as the game went on but he can do a lot better in the future.
Alexis Mac Allister — 3
Looked miles off it after arriving back late from international duty. In hindsight, it was an error for him to have started. Started badly, gave the ball away a lot, got booked, and came off at half-time.
Curtis Jones — 6
Largely anonymous in the first half. Switched to a deeper role second half and helped change the tide in midfield.
Mohamed Salah — 7
Attempted to dribble past Rayan Aït-Nouri several times. Did not succeed once. Set up the equalizer to make it an assist in each of his last five away matches in the Premier League and then set up two more goals to seal the win. A game-changer in the second half, even if he started slowly.
Cody Gakpo — 5
Was he playing in the first half? Even in the second, his only contribution was to score and then immediately be taken off.
Diogo Jota — 4
Blazed one shot over the bar and struggled to get going. An incredibly frustrating performance.
Luis Díaz — 5
Started well but faded a little. Certainly a lot more impactful than Jota and Gakpo.
Darwin Núñez — 5
Bright in patches. Did really well on the third goal to turn away from and hold off Craig Dawson.
Harvey Elliott — 5
Tried his best to influence the game but a tricky one to be introduced into. His goal late on will go down as an own-goal but still made another positive impact as a sub. It's a role that seems to suit him.
Ibrahima Konaté — n/a
If only he had been fit enough to start, Liverpool might have looked a bit more comfortable.
Ryan Gravenberch — n/a
Not on long enough to make an impact but his debut is out of the way.

Steven Sotloff's Friends Mourn Journalist On Twitter After Alleged Beheading
Friends and fellow journalists took to Twitter Tuesday after the reported murder of Steven Sotloff, the American journalist who was allegedly beheaded by the Islamic State. Sotloff, 31, labeled himself a "stand-up philosopher from Miami," and was described as "selfless" by his friends, the New York Times reported.
Matthew Van Dyke, an American filmmaker, told BBC Radio 5 live's Drive that the United States and United Kingdom need to start negotiating for hostages. Van Dyke, a friend of Sotloff's, said he was "aware of the risks" in Syria, but he wanted to report on what was happening. "He was completely innocent, he was just there to report on the story ... and now he's paid for it with his life," Van Dyke said. "This should never have happened."
Josh Polsky, another friend, said Sotloff "lit up a room." "He was always such a loyal, caring and good friend to us," Polsky told the New York Times. "If you needed to rely on anybody for anything he would drop everything on a dime for you or for anyone else."
Sotloff's alleged beheading came two weeks after the Islamic State, formerly known as ISIS, released footage of the apparent execution of American photojournalist James Foley. In that video, ISIS threatened to kill Sotloff if the U.S. continued its airstrikes against the militant group in Iraq.
Some of the tweets from his friends and colleagues are listed below:

IT MAY not be Y2K all over again, but some computer users could soon find themselves an hour behind everyone else.
Normally, daylight saving would come to a halt at 3am on Sunday. But because the Commonwealth Games are finishing that day, Victoria, NSW, the ACT, South Australia and Tasmania won't change until the following Sunday, April 2.
Most computer software has pre-set daylight savings information encoded in it.
However, this one-off change has not been written in and will affect computer software that schedules meetings and appointments, such as Microsoft Windows, Office and Exchange Server. For the next week, such software will be one hour behind.
People who conduct business with overseas clients will be particularly affected, said Andy Woo, PC analyst at IT research and advisory company Gartner.
"A proportion of people are going to be caught out by this development but if they have any business at all overseas they should really be paying attention," he said.
Those who subscribe to Microsoft Update received a software patch earlier this month that will fix the date setting for this year.
Users who manually download the patch will have to manually remove it a week later to ensure correct timekeeping in future, says Microsoft.
The patch cannot fix appointments that were made before it was installed. Users will have to manually rewrite their appointments.
Apple users fall into two categories. Macs running MacOS X 10.4 can get an official patch from Apple.
Those running older MacOS X software can get an unofficial patch.

How erroneous leadership can affect employee turnover
Management has a major role to play in keeping employees engaged and motivated; thereby, bringing the best performance out of the employees and boosting the overall growth of the company. Some studies suggest that a major source of the employees' motivation is their managers. However, poor management can have an overwhelmingly negative effect on the employee and cause lasting damage to the organisation by leading towards a toxic and monotonous work atmosphere.
There can be several reasons for an employee to quit an organisation – lack of growth and progression, work overload, lack of feedback, little or no opportunity for decision-making, lack of reward or compensation, poor fit for role, etc. Other than these common reasons, poor management or bad leadership has erupted as one of the major reasons behind high employee turnover. Ignorant and dogmatic attitude of a manager results in increased stress and anxiety level in the employees; thereby, forcing them to quit the job.
High employee turnover is not only costly for an organisation but it also impacts hugely on the overall productivity. Too many employees leaving within a short period also damages the reputation of the business. Further, recruiting new employees, training them, and making their skills at par with the experienced professionals, is also a time-consuming and costly affair. Even after that, a bad manager can have a similar negative impact on the new joinee.
Thus, the company should keep a close eye on its managers too and if bad leadership is resulting in high employee turnover, take adequate steps to mitigate the situation. Let's explore some of the ways to fix a poor leadership problem, which will eventually result in faster growth of the company with more output from the employees.
Spending time with employees
Managers or leaders should take a holistic approach in ensuring accountability, transparency and proper coaching from their side to keep an employee engaged. Though regular one-to-one meetings might not be possible for a manager with a bigger team size, overall engagement and interaction should be a common practice to create a healthy work culture. The leadership should always be aware of how the employees feel about their workplace environment and culture. This can be possible through regular interactions, which need not be personal; professional conversations also provide a good manager with the insights of the thought process of an employee and help to motivate and encourage him.
Leading by example
There can be several hurdles in dealing with challenges associated with time management, change management, performance issues, reorganisation, inconsistent communication, etc. In many instances it gets trickier to prioritise tasks and most employees might panic in such situations, which will lead towards under-performance. One of the best ways for managers to handle such situations is to set an example by handling the situations by themselves first. This way the employees can get motivated and inspired and are more likely to not quit the job out of stress.
Management styles
While there is a common trend to hunt for external reasons when a company faces high employee turnover, there is an undeniable possibility that the reason can be something from within the country. Erroneous leadership has often erupted as the answer to who was the cause or whose inaction was the cause behind the high employee turnover. In such scenarios, companies can try to fix the problem from inside by providing leadership training and discussions. However, when a manager is responsible for a large number of employees, especially talented employees, leaving the company, it is more feasible to replace him with a new manager who will fit the vision and goals of the organisation.
Seeking feedback
To determine whether the attitude of a manager is indeed inappropriate and making the work environment toxic, a single feedback from one employee might be misleading. Hence, company heads should consider taking regular feedback from every employee to determine whether the manager's leadership can result in employee turnover. While at times verbal interaction on such topics might not be comfortable for an employee, an alternate channel of communication can be opened where employees can share their thoughts and disagreements through an anonymous form – which will mitigate the fear of judgement among the employee.
Employee management
While it is a common norm to put what the employee owes the company at prior, it should never be ignored what a company owes to the employee. In most instances of high turnover rates, employees have been witnessed to have been treated badly by the company. Good leaders should reflect on how they can make the workplace workable for the employees by treating them the way they deserve.
Third-party training
Consulting a third-party for leadership training can be expensive but helpful for the company in the longer run as they can provide a fresh perspective and unbiased feedback. Leadership training programs are a key component of effective operations as they significantly improve the skills of the existing leaders in the company.

Muscle spasms can be a common symptom of sciatica. You may have questions such as what they feel like, how to stop them, and how long they last. Hopefully, this article will help you understand sciatica muscle spasms better.
Read More About What Does a Sciatica Muscle Spasm Feel Like
More Things To Know About What Does a Sciatica Muscle Spasm Feel Like
Can a Pinched Sciatic Nerve Cause Muscle Spasms?
If you have a pinched sciatic nerve, you may be experiencing muscle spasms. The nerves in your legs send information to the brain, which then triggers the muscles to respond. A pinched nerve can cause pain and limited range of motion in your legs. You may be experiencing muscle spasms due to this problem, but there are other possible causes. A chiropractor can help you with treatment for this condition.
Muscle spasms are caused by irritation to the sciatic nerve, which can be caused by a number of conditions. A pinched sciatic nerve can result in numbness or pain in the back of the leg, tingling, and muscle fasciculation. These symptoms may occur infrequently or become more severe during sudden movements or positions. Regardless of the cause, these symptoms indicate an irritation to the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body.
What Does a Sciatica Muscle Spasm Feel Like?
If you're wondering, "What does a sciatica muscle spastm feel like?" You're not alone. In fact, it is a common symptom of sciatica, which can vary in severity from person to person. Your doctor can help you determine if you need treatment and provide guidance for how to get relief. A doctor can also perform certain tests to identify the cause of the spasm.
The pain caused by sciatica typically begins in the lower back, and may radiate down one leg or the other. It can be sharp or dull, and can prevent you from moving. It typically affects one leg, and it is most likely to occur on one side. Symptoms may become worse with prolonged sitting, coughing, or sneezing. The pain can last for several days.
How Do You Stop Sciatica Spasms?
Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve. This nerve originates in the lower back and travels down the back of the legs to the feet. When this nerve is inflamed, it causes pain and stiffness, and can make walking or standing very difficult. The pain can range from a mild ache to severe burning. It can also cause numbness or tingling of the leg and foot.
One of the best ways to ease sciatica pain is to stretch the muscles. One way to do this is by bending your knees and using an elevated surface. An ottoman, chair, or step on the stairs will work well. Just be sure to use an elevated surface that is below hip level. Hold the stretch for 5-10 seconds, and then repeat the stretch with the other leg.
How Long Do Sciatica Muscle Spasms Last?
Muscle spasms in the lower back are a common symptom of sciatica. They can radiate down the leg and buttocks, causing intense pain and stiffness. They can be caused by a number of different causes, such as a herniated disk in the spine, an overgrowth of bone on a vertebra, or a tumor on the sciatic nerve. Other causes include age-related changes in the spine.
A typical sciatic nerve flare-up will last for two to three weeks. In some cases, the pain may be severe enough to require medical attention. Proper management can reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent further damage to the nerve. A chiropractor can use gentle spinal adjustments to realign the spine and help the sciatic nerve heal. By removing pressure on the nerve, the spine will function more optimally and muscle spasms will subside.
What Should You Not Do With Sciatica?
When you have sciatica, you should stay away from high-impact activities such as jumping or squatting. This will only worsen your symptoms. You should also try to avoid sitting for long periods of time. The reason why this is important is because it puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.
A structured exercise routine is a good way to relieve your sciatic pain. You can walk a short distance each day and increase the number of steps you take. If you work at a desk, try getting up every 30 minutes and taking a short walk. Alternatively, you can buy a standing desk or use one with an adjustable height. You can also perform simple stretches while sitting.
Keeping your spine in good shape will reduce your risk of developing sciatica. Proper posture is also an important factor in preventing the pain. For instance, if you sleep on your back, you should place a pillow underneath your knees, and if you sleep on your side, you should place a pillow between your thighs. It's also recommended that you rotate your mattress regularly. Pillow-top mattresses can become too plush and cause back pain over time.

Strange Fruit Part Two: They Want To Legalize Lynching
The return of strange and bitter crops
On February 28, in the year 2023, the Tennessee House Criminal Justice Committee was having a polite conversation about how to kill death row inmates. As they were discussing executing inmates by firing squad, a method not allowed in Tennessee or in any other civilized society, Representative Paul Sherrell had another abhorrent idea as to how to kill people as punishment.
"Could I put an amendment on that, that would include hanging by a tree also?" he inquired. He said it as if he was discussing the weather — in a conversational tone with no shame detected. He added he would also sign onto the crude "kill prisoners by a death squad" bill.
I must admit I did not watch the entire meeting — I was unable to find a source that contained it. However, nobody immediately told Sherrell to shut the fuck up when they were morally obligated to do so, which would have been when Sherrell said the words, "hanging by a tree." Perhaps this is because we are talking about a group of people who want people to be killed by a firing squad. Sherrell released a fauxpology the next day, saying he used "poor judgment" in making his comments. Indeed, he used poor judgment — people typically hide their sadistic racist ideas. He said he was sorry "to anyone who may have been hurt or offended." Sincerity seems to be lacking in his apology.
The question is — did he mean "hanging" or "lynching?" "Hanging" is more official — it's carried out by the state as punishment for a crime. "Lynching" involves a mob, not necessarily the state. However, as Michael Daly from the Daily Beast pointed out, Sherrell said "tree," not "gallows." Often, when those who live in the U.S. picture a noose dangling from a tree limb, the word that comes to mind is "lynching." It's therefore not unreasonable to conclude Sherrell was asking for lynching to be legalized. And, of course, when we think of lynching, we typically imagine a Black person as the victim. Lynching is a racialized method of murder, after all.
When Sherrell talked about lynching, my bet is that he was picturing a Black person. As the song "Strange Fruit" portrays, he was gleefully picturing "Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze."

Something i am working on, now in beta, a file editor, supports files over 64kb.
looking great!
Hi, could you be so kind and share any beta version (to test) with us? Thank you so much.
Hello NaMcO,
there´s currently a .DOT-command-Jam "DotJam" at: https://itch.io/jam/dotjam
running from June 6th 2022 at 1:00 AM to June 13th 2022 at 1:00 AM.
Maybe you like to take part at it with your .editor-command?
The ZX Spectrum Next can run programs from the /dot folder. These are called dot files. What is less known is that any 8K machine code binary that can run from address $2000 (8192 in decimal) with the extension ".dot" can be a dot file. This kind of dot file can be run from anywhere.
So the purpose of this jam is to try to create an interesting game, demo or tool in the form of a .dot file.
The rules:
1) The final .dot file can be no larger than 8K (so no bootstrapping more code into memory).
2) It is not required for the .dot file to return to the operating system.
3) Any amount of memory can be used at run time, but no loading data not contained in the original 8K dot file.
4) You are not required to release source code, but it is encouraged to teach other people.
5) A submission can come from a team of a people, not just a single programmer.
6) Copyright and ownership is retained by the authors.
7) You can only load external files that the dot file produces itself. The only exception to this rule is if the dot file is a tool that does data conversion where the input file is clearly used to produce an output file..
As far as I know it´s NOT tied to the "ZX Spectrum Next" and can be a "Standard esxDOS"-Dot-Command running from /bin folder.

In the 115th Congress, there are more cannabis reform bills than ever before — dozens, as a matter of fact! This week, however, a brand new bill was introduced that actually does not involve the cannabis plant at all, but rather focuses on data collection and information that can be gathered from states that have chosen to legalize cannabis in some form.
Bill: The Marijuana Data Collection Act
Introduced by: Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL)
Original Cosponsors: Reps. Don Young (R-AK), Darren Soto (D-FL), Beto O'Rourke (D-TX), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Dina Titus (D-NV), Charlie Crist (D-FL), Tom Garrett (R-VA), Lou Correa (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Mark Pocan (D-WI) and Salud Carbajal (D-CA)
Endorsements: National Cannabis Industry Association, National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Third Way
What It Does: This bill requires data collection and study with regard to the impact of state-regulated cannabis legalization on revenues and state allocations, the medicinal use of cannabis, (other) substance use, criminal justice, and employment. Specifically, this bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to coordinate with the Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, and relevant state agencies. The bill also directs the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to publish a biannual study on the health, safety, and economic effects of state legalized cannabis programs– whether they be medicinal or adult-use. The report will also outline best practices for state-led data collection, as well as recommendations to overcome any barriers preventing data collection and gaps in data.
What To Expect: Now that the bill has been introduced, NCIA will continue to gather cosponsors for the legislation, as well as advocate for a hearing. With August recess around the corner and then midterm elections in November (register here), timing will be of the essence.
NCIA's government relations team was happy to work with Congresswoman Gabbard's office on the Marijuana Data Collection Act's language and roll-out. While many studies have looked individually at many of the effects that the Marijuana Data Collection Act seeks to, this is the first time a congressional bill has directed federal agencies to research, collect, and aggregate such data in one report. At a time when "fake news" and misinformation run rampant, we can't think of a better thing than a bill solely directed at data.
