Ukraine. Overnight 23–24 Sep Russian missile/drone strikes killed at least eight (six agricultural workers in Kharkiv region’s Chuhuiv district; two in Kyiv). Kyiv saw ballistic alerts again early Fri 25 Sep; Odesa mall fire; Nova Post depot hit. Zelenskyy at UNGA pushed an “energy ceasefire” and a Trump–Putin–Zelenskyy trilateral; Lavrov said no pause. — Euronews, Kyiv Post, CNBC, WaPo.

Iran / Hormuz. Conflict about seven months in. FM Abbas Araghchi floated a seven-day roadmap (via intermediaries at UNGA): reopen Strait of Hormuz by day seven if US conditions met, then nuclear talks. Reuters sources: phased Hormuz reopen vs lifting US blockade. Tehran hardens “conditions first”; President Masoud Pezeshkian blames Washington for June collapse. Houthi strike on Saudi Arabia helped oil spike. — NYT via New Indian Express, Al Arabiya/Reuters, The National, WaPo.

Clock runs to Mon 28 Sep 2026: Procura di Pavia (procuratore Fabio Napoleone) deadline after further probes opened post–7 May notice on Andrea Sempio. Press points to a likely new chiusura indagini / path toward rinvio a giudizio (vs proroga or archiviazione). Still in play: male DNA on Chiara’s nails tied to the Sempio paternal line (said incompatible with Alberto Stasi / Poggi family), impronta 33, and Cristina Cattaneo’s work on the “suola a pallini” / foot-size. Psychiatric consult (Roberto Catanesi) reportedly late. Parallel track: Stasi’s definitive 16-year sentence still stands while his defence and Milan PG weigh revisione. — Il Giornale d’Italia, Il Messaggero, Il Mattino, Panorama, La Sicilia.

Bitwig & Traktor

No new official Bitwig or Native Instruments Traktor releases spotted in the last day or two, and no standout new YouTube tutorials in that window. Community note (not a fresh release): rhbitwig / TraktorBridge still bridges Traktor deck key into Bitwig 6 over virtual MIDI via Erik Minekus’s Traktor API — useful if you’re hybrid-stacking Traktor decks with Bitwig drums/FX.

Linux

(a) Tip: When foo: command not found or a .so is missing, don’t guess the package name — install apt-file, run sudo apt-file update, then apt-file search bin/foo (or the library path). It maps files → packages so you install the right one first try. (b) Package: apt-file — indexes package contents for that search.

Tip

If the app feels glitchy or video/desktop previews stutter, open Hardware acceleration under Settings → General and try turning GPU acceleration off. There’s a related restart row when the toggle needs a clean relaunch. Handy after a GPU driver or display change.

UC Riverside (Anandasankar Ray + Boris Baer’s bee lab) trained a machine-learning model on odor chemistry and bee behaviour, screened more than 50 million compounds, and field-tested seven that reliably repel honey bees from treated sites without harming them — a path toward bee-safer pesticide use and fewer hive conflicts near buildings. Published in eLife; funded via California Research Alliance by BASF. — UCR News, 24 Sep 2026.

Leopardus tilcayo — a new living tiger-cat species from Bolivia’s Yungas (central Andes), described 17 Sep in Current Biology by Jonas Lescroart (Antwerp) et al. First new living cat species named in more than 100 years (last: Uruguayan pampas cat, 1923). About 2 kg, spotted, ringed tail; genetics on the Leopardus tree pointed to five tiger-cat species, one undescribed. Specimens include sanctuary cat Tigrino, flagged by Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz. — Science News.

Tiziano — Apollo e Marsia (late work; Scuderie del Quirinale itinerary)

«…dove la pittura si fa sangue e vita che esala fino all’ultimo respiro, come quello di Marsia, eternamente dolente sotto i ferri d’Apollo.»

— Vittorio Sgarbi, La pittura di Tiziano è sangue e vita, Il Giornale, 4 Mar 2013.
