I nazisti istituirono la Zona d’operazioni delle Prealpi
Con le date del 25 luglio e dell’8 settembre 1943, la questione alto-atesina entrò in una fase nuova, radicalmente diversa sia per quel che concerneva la situazione in Alto Adige sia sotto il profilo dei rapporti italo-tedeschi. La caduta di Mussolini fu da sorgente a una rivendicazione territoriale da risolvere in modo totalitario e definitivo. Le reazioni di Hitler furono tali che «se il terzo Reich avesse vinto la guerra, le frontiere italiane sarebbero ridiventate quelle del 1914» <63 e, riferendosi al Trentino-Alto Adige e alla Venezia Giulia, avrebbe dichiarato che «per lo meno questo tradimento (dell’Italia come firmataria dell’armistizio dell’8 settembre) sarà servito a farci riprendere due belle province tedesche» <64. Nella notte tra l’8 e il 9 settembre le forze armate tedesche, Deusche Wehrmacht, fluirono lungo le vallate dell’Alto Adige, e vennero accolte festosamente dalla popolazione allogena, imbevuta, grazie soprattutto alla massiccia propaganda nazista, di pangermanesimo. Il 12 settembre, subito dopo l’armistizio, furono dettate le disposizioni per l’organizzazione politica e militare dell’Italia: Hitler stabiliva che, dal «territorio occupato», fossero staccate ed erette a «zone di operazione» le province di Bolzano, Trento e Belluno (sotto il nome di Alpenvorland) e di Udine, Gorizia e Trieste (sotto il nome di Adriatisches Küstenland). Si stabilì che queste fossero sottoposte a due Alti commissari nella carica di Gauleiter (Commissario supremo) scelti nelle persone di Franz Hofer a Innsbruck e Friedrich Rainer a Klagenfur <65.

Nonostante la decisione del Duce di porsi a capo della RSI e di continuare la guerra a fianco della Germania, per Hitler era ormai scontato che l’Italia avrebbe dovuto pagare duramente il suo «tradimento» <66. Vani furono, infatti, i tentativi da parte di Mussolini di evitare una completa estromissione dell’autorità fascista nella zone delle Prealpi, proprio per il fatto stesso che Hitler considerasse ormai il Duce privo di un avvenire politico <67.
L’istituzione dell’Operationszone Alpenvorland, ovvero la Zona d’operazione delle Prealpi (acronimo OZAV), avviò una campagna che mise al bando gli elementi di origine italiana, interdicendo loro qualsiasi attività ed iniziativa: vennero sostituiti tutti i funzionari delle amministrazioni civili con elementi di indubbia fede nazista; si annullarono le opzioni del ’39 a favore dell’Italia mentre contemporaneamente aveva inizio un lento ma continuo rientro degli optanti che si erano trasferiti in Germania; le forze di polizia locali, coadiuvate da una guardia civica (Sondor Ordnung Dienst), costituirono in realtà un rigido mezzo di controllo e di oppressione per le popolazioni italiane: rastrellamenti e perquisizioni nelle case private paralizzavano la vita degli italiani, soprattutto dei militari rifugiatisi nelle abitazioni e sulle montagne; Hofer emanò un decreto in cui stabilì l’obbligo di prestare servizio militare alle forze naziste di giovani altoatesini delle classi del ’24-’25 senza riguardo per l’appartenenza etnica; non mancò la sopraffazione tedesca nel campo delle comunicazioni: sulla stampa locale riaffiorò la propaganda nazista della «Grande Germania» che prese il posto delle pubblicazioni quotidiane italiane <68; fu imposto il tedesco come lingua non solo nelle amministrazioni pubbliche ma anche nella vita privata. Questo era «il Regno di Hofer», così amaramente denominato da Mussolini <69.
Nell’incontro di Klessheim, nell’aprile del ’44, Mussolini sollevò la questione delle due «zone di operazione» ricevendo da Hitler generiche spiegazioni e vaghe assicurazioni. Fu proprio dopo questo incontro che Franz Hofer ritenne giunto il momento di un nuovo «giro di vite» in Alto Adige. In un «Appunto per il Duce» datato 12 maggio 1944 si legge: «Dopo il recente colloquio Mussolini-Hitler in quasi tutti i paesi dell’Alto Adige le scritte italiane sono sparite. Prima dell’incontro le scritte erano bilingue: italiana e tedesca» <70. La discriminazione del gruppo linguistico italiano fece sì che molti membri, anche ex-fascisti, entrassero a far parte delle organizzazioni di lotta contro l’oppressione nazista. Il regime di oppressione e di persecuzione antitaliana costrinse all’emigrazione dall’Alto Adige circa 50 mila italiani. Pertanto, all’atto della liberazione, la fisionomia demografica della regione atesina risultò profondamente ad artificiosamente alterata rispetto alla situazione legale quale era al 25 luglio 1943 <71.

In the face of prohibitive travel costs and the latest spate advertorial noise about staycations that aren't, I submit for your consideration the STRAYCATION.
Just wander off, visit the weird little towns, sleep in abandoned cars, help the downtrodden, drink from streams, solve some crimes, pee on things...

MINI-DOSES OF AWE AND WONDER
A staycation is a vacation you can take in your home country, rather than abroad. For the sake of this piece and my wallet, I’ll be focusing on staying in your own city or, better yet, your own home.
These mini vacations are useful because they’re easier on the budget but also help you learn about your own community.
As you explore your city, you can create more relationships that flow into your everyday life and deepen your connection to the place that you live. Staycations are also much easier to plan, considering you don’t have to worry about accommodations, flights, trains, packing, etc.
Like all vacations, a staycation requires deviation from your regularly scheduled programming. If you can, empty your schedule in advance—take a couple days off work or have a weekend where you have no other plans. I will sit down with a monthly and weekly calendar to help me visualize. I also try to set aside at least three days because I tend to be restless the first day that I deviate from my regular work, so I need some time to get into a more relaxed mindset.
Then, consider what you need. Are you tired of monotony and want to add something interesting to your life? Or are you just tired and need some rest. Pay attention to your body and your thoughts in the days leading up to your time off.
The answer is usually not so complicated. For example, if you find yourself bored at mealtimes, you might want to explore more food options either at home or outside. If you keep wishing that everyone would leave you alone, then you probably need some rest and alone time.
Doing a brain dump of all the thoughts you have (especially all your complaints) can help with understanding the stressors of your life, which might change the type of staycation you choose to take.
Now, you can decide what it is that you need in a staycation. Do you need more time with friends or time alone? Do you want to meet new people or deepen the connections you may have been neglecting? Does exploration and social time rejuvenate or exhaust you?
Considering these questions can help you decide whether you want to spend your staycation exploring your city or exploring your home.
If you choose the former, it is possible to explore your surroundings spontaneously. Choose a starting point—e.g. downtown Kitchener or brunch at your favourite cafe—then let the day take you where it will. I especially like doing this with friends, since I am not very adventurous.
Another method is to make a list of all the places you either never get a chance to go back to, or that you wanted to explore, but never got a chance. This could be cute cafes (cafe-hopping!), bookstores, parks, trails or any number of places. What has caught your attention before, but you weren’t able to go back to it?
Other people’s houses can also be on that list. So many social plans rely on us going out, but visiting a friend in their own space can be just as fun. It also means another way of learning more about them, especially if this is a new friend.
Finally, a staycation can happen in the confines of your own home. This is my personal favourite and is the most versatile type of staycation.
I like to start by deep cleaning my spaces, doing my laundry and dusting, maybe even rearranging some furniture. Freshening up your space also helps refresh your mind.
Now, I know that most people are not like me. Where I would include cleaning and reorganizing as part of my vacation, but for others, it would be considered work. If you’re in the latter group, I would suggest doing all the cleaning and chores as preparation for your staycation.
Then, the world (or your house or your room) is your oyster. Exploring your home can take many forms—you can go through all those old photos and clothes and declutter, or just bask in the nostalgia. Go shopping in different rooms to change things around, create new outfits from all your clothes, bust out the puzzle you never got to do or the art supplies you haven’t used in the two years since you bought them.
The goal is to rest, but also to see your own space in a new light. What is your house like when you’re usually not home? For example, over quarantine, I discovered that the leaves of the tree in our backyard cast shadows on my wall during sunset and to this day, that is one of my favourite aspects of my room. It is incredibly calming to watch the shadows of those leaves swaying while I’m not doing anything in particular.
Some other things I like finding are hiding places, places to sit that you haven’t thought of before, what space is the most relaxing, what seat is the most comfortable. Forget about everything you know about your space, and rediscover how charming a place you live in.
If that’s too much work, just lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. That’s super fun.
My favourite thing about staycations is that they don’t have to end. That new cafe you liked, you can revisit as often as you like. You can keep making the new dish you discovered, you can go back to the bookstore you fell in love with, you can spend 10 minutes lying there and watching the leaves swaying on the wall when you need to.
A staycation is a reminder to take a step back, look at your life and your space from a fresh perspective, and maintain a sense of awe in the regular, the common and the everyday.

MINI-DOSES OF AWE AND WONDER
A staycation is a vacation you can take in your home country, rather than abroad. For the sake of this piece and my wallet, I’ll be focusing on staying in your own city or, better yet, your own home.
These mini vacations are useful because they’re easier on the budget but also help you learn about your own community.
As you explore your city, you can create more relationships that flow into your everyday life and deepen your connection to the place that you live. Staycations are also much easier to plan, considering you don’t have to worry about accommodations, flights, trains, packing, etc.
Like all vacations, a staycation requires deviation from your regularly scheduled programming. If you can, empty your schedule in advance—take a couple days off work or have a weekend where you have no other plans. I will sit down with a monthly and weekly calendar to help me visualize. I also try to set aside at least three days because I tend to be restless the first day that I deviate from my regular work, so I need some time to get into a more relaxed mindset.
Then, consider what you need. Are you tired of monotony and want to add something interesting to your life? Or are you just tired and need some rest. Pay attention to your body and your thoughts in the days leading up to your time off.
The answer is usually not so complicated. For example, if you find yourself bored at mealtimes, you might want to explore more food options either at home or outside. If you keep wishing that everyone would leave you alone, then you probably need some rest and alone time.
Doing a brain dump of all the thoughts you have (especially all your complaints) can help with understanding the stressors of your life, which might change the type of staycation you choose to take.
Now, you can decide what it is that you need in a staycation. Do you need more time with friends or time alone? Do you want to meet new people or deepen the connections you may have been neglecting? Does exploration and social time rejuvenate or exhaust you?
Considering these questions can help you decide whether you want to spend your staycation exploring your city or exploring your home.
If you choose the former, it is possible to explore your surroundings spontaneously. Choose a starting point—e.g. downtown Kitchener or brunch at your favourite cafe—then let the day take you where it will. I especially like doing this with friends, since I am not very adventurous.
Another method is to make a list of all the places you either never get a chance to go back to, or that you wanted to explore, but never got a chance. This could be cute cafes (cafe-hopping!), bookstores, parks, trails or any number of places. What has caught your attention before, but you weren’t able to go back to it?
Other people’s houses can also be on that list. So many social plans rely on us going out, but visiting a friend in their own space can be just as fun. It also means another way of learning more about them, especially if this is a new friend.
Finally, a staycation can happen in the confines of your own home. This is my personal favourite and is the most versatile type of staycation.
I like to start by deep cleaning my spaces, doing my laundry and dusting, maybe even rearranging some furniture. Freshening up your space also helps refresh your mind.
Now, I know that most people are not like me. Where I would include cleaning and reorganizing as part of my vacation, but for others, it would be considered work. If you’re in the latter group, I would suggest doing all the cleaning and chores as preparation for your staycation.
Then, the world (or your house or your room) is your oyster. Exploring your home can take many forms—you can go through all those old photos and clothes and declutter, or just bask in the nostalgia. Go shopping in different rooms to change things around, create new outfits from all your clothes, bust out the puzzle you never got to do or the art supplies you haven’t used in the two years since you bought them.
The goal is to rest, but also to see your own space in a new light. What is your house like when you’re usually not home? For example, over quarantine, I discovered that the leaves of the tree in our backyard cast shadows on my wall during sunset and to this day, that is one of my favourite aspects of my room. It is incredibly calming to watch the shadows of those leaves swaying while I’m not doing anything in particular.

Had a fantastic staycation in #KualaLumpur with the parents. We ate too much food, as usual 😆

Inferi – Heaven Wept Review By Lavender LarcenistFor a band that takes its namesake from a Harry Potter reference (ew), Nashville’s Inferi are infinitely more brutal than its original inspiration. Blending searing speed, flashy technicality, and death metal intensity, Inferi have been at the forefront of tech death for over fifteen years now, and their latest release, Heaven Wept, comes after a five-year gap. With such a chasm between their releases, is Heaven Wept a reformation for the band or a refinement of their sound?
Heaven Wept establishes itself quickly, and the band sounds tighter than ever. Immediately apparent is Stevie Boiser’s vocals, which flit from screeching highs, boastful mids, and throat-wrinkling lows. Boiser doesn’t seem to have a weak point when it comes to his capabilities, and he leads tracks along like a malicious conductor (not unlike Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder, RIP). For Inferi, the technical prowess expands beyond just the instruments, and the vocals on display across Heaven Wept are bound to make an impression. Not to be overtaken, guitarists Malcom Pugh and Sanjay Kumar showcase their axe mastery throughout. A majority of the tracks feature individual solos by each, and none of them overstay their welcome. If they aren’t competing in shredding territory, they work in tandem on solos in the remainder of the songs. Spencer Moore’s drums round out Inferi’s sound, and in a rare turn, they sound surprisingly natural for a tech death band. Perhaps the melodic aspect of Inferi’s core sound helps keep Moore’s drums from becoming robotic, and his playing spans core stylings, technical blowouts, and military marches, never staying in one space for too long.
While Heaven Wept is by no means a stylistic change-up from their previous work, the latest record utilizes more dissonant harmonies and tends to feel more ethereal as a result. Combine that with some symphonic backing, and you have an atmospheric album without relying on overly long instrumental passages that break up the pacing. Inferi takes the melodic part of technical melodic death metal very seriously, and Heaven Wept is surprisingly catchy and approachable, while still being so dense that I imagine listeners will discover new secrets after numerous listens. “The Rapture of Dead Light” calls to mind melodic death metal masters The Black Dahlia Murder while combining some light core elements (don’t worry, Inferi is not a deathcore band now). The band smartly uses crushing breakdowns but only at a minimum, and where they have the most impact.
Heaven Wept doesn’t waste a second, coming in at eight tracks and under forty minutes, the album is pure face-melting goodness throughout. Every band member lays it all out on each song, and I wouldn’t call a single one a miss. The title track is a stylistic standout, slowing things down with a lumbering staccato riff that worms its way throughout the song. Boiser’s vocals follow along with the riff, punctuating the melody while also adding a bit of slam to Heaven Wept’s complex sound. “Of Rotted Wombs” is oozing with atmosphere, with a backing organ, a choir, and wailing guitars that pull emotion from every string. It is a track that feels huge without relying on a bunch of pomp and circumstance. Despite the inclusion of the aforementioned organ and choir, they are a small part of the song and only appear in the background. The incredible solo from Kumar in the back half of the track ties a bow on an album highlight.
Heaven Wept could very well be Inferi’s best work yet. Dripping with style and substance, as well as piling on the atmosphere without resorting to trite methods or wasteful interludes, this is an album that is solid throughout. It isn’t without its flaws; the low end is basically non-existent, and even the band plays live without a bassist. There are occasional bass flourishes on the album that remind me of Job for a Cowboy’s Sun Eater at times, but they are few and far between. The album also lacks the instrumental flair of 2018’s Revenant, and fans looking for a return to that record will be disappointed. Overall, these are nitpicks for an album that nails everything it sets out to do and then some. Inferi have shown that they can stand tall as the masters of modern technical melodic death metal without losing sight of what brought them there in the first place. Heaven Wept epitomizes the idea of metal at every turn and will likely have something to offer any earnest listener.

Despite the inclusion of the aforementioned organ and choir, they are a small part of the song and only appear in the background. The incredible solo from Kumar in the back half of the track ties a bow on an album highlight.
Heaven Wept could very well be Inferi’s best work yet. Dripping with style and substance, as well as piling on the atmosphere without resorting to trite methods or wasteful interludes, this is an album that is solid throughout. It isn’t without its flaws; the low end is basically non-existent, and even the band plays live without a bassist. There are occasional bass flourishes on the album that remind me of Job for a Cowboy’s Sun Eater at times, but they are few and far between. The album also lacks the instrumental flair of 2018’s Revenant, and fans looking for a return to that record will be disappointed. Overall, these are nitpicks for an album that nails everything it sets out to do and then some. Inferi have shown that they can stand tall as the masters of modern technical melodic death metal without losing sight of what brought them there in the first place. Heaven Wept epitomizes the idea of metal at every turn and will likely have something to offer any earnest listener.

All’inizio della fiaccolata per Gaza a Genova, è successo qualcosa di enorme.
Quando si è sparsa la voce del carico di una nave Zim con 10 container di materiale esplosivo diretto verso Israele, i camalli del Calp si sono staccati immediatamente dal corteo per dirigersi verso il ponte Etiopia e bloccare tutto.
E subito almeno cento manifestanti - soprattutto studenti - li hanno seguiti, “scortati”, supportati, entrando con loro in porto al grido di “Free Palestine”.
Studenti e portuali insieme per una causa giusta. A cui a poco a poco si sono uniti almeno duemila manifestanti fuori dal varco, presidiato dalla Celere.
I camalli hanno formato una catena umana impedendo fisicamente il carico dei container.
È finita con i portuali che hanno annunciato al megafono che la merce è stata bloccata e la nave israeliana è rimasta vuota e con le luci spente, costretta infine ad abbandonare il porto. Tra gli applausi dei genovesi.
Una grande vittoria dei camalli e, insieme, di tutti i cittadini.
Tutto ciò ha un nome preciso: si chiama RESISTENZA.
I portuali ci hanno mostrato fisicamente e moralmente come si fa.
