the Molise ski resorts of Campitello Matese are for sale

Campitello Matese ski facilities (Molise)

in recent weeks some bad news has arrived for my region… the court has decided to put the ski facilities up for sale (at auction) because the company that currently manages them is in debt to the municipality… For years now that Campitello has become a deserted destination… until a few years ago I went skiing but in recent years with the politicians who didn’t get a measure right it was no longer possible to ski because the lifts were always closed due to some problem… now that with this year we are having anomalous apocalypse temperatures (and therefore the winter season will not be there) I hope that all the politicians who have not allowed people to ski in recent years will also feel the heat

💡 🎄 the 2022 Christmas illuminations of the City of Campobasso

December 27, 2022, I walk through the city and I see some people walking on the street; most of them are crowded together in a bar in the center of the square. The air is fresh but not cold or frozen in fact even the skating rink tends to melt: fault of the last few weeks with tropical temperatures…
This year many doubted that the Christmas lights were at risk because the war in Ukraine war created higher energy prices
… but this year too Campobasso has showcased some beautiful lights ..

Windows 11 Pro will require a Microsoft account to be installed – it’s official

Windows 11 Pro will also require an internet connection and a Microsoft account to be installed. Microsoft announces it, with the new Pro SKU requirements reminiscent of those introduced last year on Windows 11 Home. In short, it will no longer be possible to bypass the Microsoft account request to install Windows 11 Pro on a new system by choosing to set up a “local account”.

Since the days of Windows 10, Microsoft has been pushing users of their operating systems to use a Microsoft account, and the news on Windows 11 Pro goes precisely in this direction. A novelty that will probably not be particularly appreciated by all those who prefer not to enter sensitive data on their systems, or who try to avoid in every possible way the data collection present in the latest versions of Windows.
Windows 11 Pro will soon be able to be installed only if connected to the internet

“Similar to Windows 11 Home Edition, Windows 11 Pro Edition now requires Internet connectivity only during initial device setup (OOBE),” reads the page where the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22557 was announced. “If you choose to configure a device for personal use, Microsoft account will also be required for setup “. The new requirement is currently being tested within the Windows 11 Insider builds and will likely roll out on the Pro SKU in the coming months.

Those who install Windows 11 Pro on their device today can avoid entering the Microsoft account by disconnecting the computer from the internet during installation and setting up a local user account in the operating system. This will no longer be possible when the new features are introduced in stable releases, since the installation can be completed only and exclusively in the presence of an internet connection, by entering a Microsoft account and using the latter to access the operating system. The only way not to enter your account, therefore, could be to enter an alternative one.

LYRIC

These four walls keep on closing in on me
It’s hard to breathe when there’s no one else here to see
Friends keep calling to check I’m okay but
They don’t know I’ve been falling for days now
These four walls keep on closing in, no release, no release

Singing sad songs on my own
It’s hard to get high when you feel so low now
My heart needs some love
I’m crying out for some human touch now
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now
I’m crying out for some human touch now

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m crying out for some human touch
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m crying out for some human touch

Been so long since I’ve felt someone close as you (as you)
When time stands still you’re the only one pulls me through (yeah)
Friends keep calling but I’m all okay ’cause
Now you found me, yeah, I found my place
Been so long since I’ve felt someone close as you
Now I’m through

Singing sad songs on my own
It’s hard to get high when you feel so low now
My heart needs some love
I’m crying out for some human touch

Singing sad songs on my own
It’s hard to get high when you feel so low now
My heart needs some love
I’m crying out for some human touch now

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m crying out for some human touch
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m crying out for some human touch

CBWC – Rocks, Boulders, Stones — photographias

Black and white is perfect, I think, to show the textures of stones and rocks, when they’ve been used to built something, like the pavement at Princípe Real Garden in Lisbon or what is left of the Castle at the Imperial Palace East Gardens in Tokyo or, when they’re found naturally. Posted for Cee’s Black […]

Six on Saturday: Storm Eunice — n20gardener

The garden was relatively unscathed by the ferocious winds that blew through yesterday. But elsewhere, sadly, there was loss of life as well as trees down and damage to property. This morning’s patrol revealed a few twiggy branches scattered across the lawn and the loss of some ancient fleece wrapped around the agapanthus but otherwise […]

Readers’ wildlife photos — Why Evolution Is True

We have two contributions today: plants and ducks. Let’s take the ducks first. All readers’ captions are indented, and can enlarge the photos by clicking on them. The first trio comes from evolutionist and ornithology expert Bruce Lyon of UC Santa Cruz, who’s just returned from Argentina and has great photo to come. These, however,…
