Image via iStockIt is the rising star of Italian wine, a greeny-gold white starting to earn an international reputation for its distinctive minerally edge and ageing potential.
Yet pecorino, which shares its name with one of Italy's best-known cheeses, might not even exist but for the vision of a trailblazing pioneer fondly remembered by his daughters as being "a little bit crazy".
The late Guido Cocci Griffoni is revered as a hero of Italian viticulture and his native region of Marche for having hauled the ancient grape back from the brink of extinction.
In the early 1980s however, the self-taught winemaker was almost alone in identifying the potential of a varietal now enjoying critical acclaim and commercial success after a four-fold increase in plantings between 2000 and 2011.
"Pecorino is not just a great grape variety; it is also one of Italy's biggest wine success stories of the 21st century," says writer Ian d'Agata, the author of "Native Wine Grapes of Italy".
The grape's name is derived from the Italian word for sheep, "pecora", which are ubiquitous in the hills of central Italy, where both wild and cultivated pecorino vines abounded in the 19th century, providing a ready snack for shepherds.
Things began to change after World War II as rural depopulation emptied mountain villages in Marche and the neighbouring Abruzzo region.
Professional grape growers turned away from pecorino to the higher-yielding but less characterful varieties trebbiano and malvasia, grapes generally destined to be made into non-descript wines by cooperatives lacking Cocci Grifoni's vision.
"Pecorino is not generous in yield terms and, at that time, volume was everything; farmers needed money," explains Marilena Cocci Grifoni, who now runs the estate alongside her winemaker sister Paola.
- Reborn in Marche -
But their father had a hunch that pecorino could produce interesting results and in 1982 he began experimenting with a parcel of wild vines acquired from an 80-year-old farmer no longer able to tend his garden vineyard at Arquata del Tronto, 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) above sea level in the Marche mountains.
Experimental samples were made from vines planted on four different slopes before the decision was made to go with the coolest of them, a steep north-facing slope licked by salty breezes from the Adriatic Sea.
A peach orchard was ripped up to make way for what is now the "mother vineyard" and the first Cocci Grifoni Pecorino was made from the 1990 harvest.
That year's production had to be bottled as a humble table wine but recognition was to come quickly.
In 2001, Pecorino from the Offida area was granted DOC or controlled origin status. A decade later it completed an extraordinarily quick ascent to the top rank of Italian wine by obtaining the DOCG classification occupied by the likes of Barolo and Chianti Classico.
Export markets are the next horizon with the wine now starting to appear on the shelves of British supermarkets and restaurant wine lists in North America.
- Baptized in Abruzzo -
Winemaker Paolo says a good pecorino should smell of tropical fruits but also display balsamic, herbal and honey notes thanks to the grapes' combination of high sugar and high acidity.
"The sugar means it is always strong in alcohol and the acidity brings freshness," she says. "These two elements give the wine its potential to age and this evolution leads to a particularly complex range of tastes."
Marilena says their father would regard the pecorino success story as a miracle.
"He has given the possibility of work to the children of farmers who believed there was no future in their area. Now young people are deciding to stay, to invest and not to abandon the vines. This is what he'd be proudest of."
Despite Cocci Griffoni leading the way in Marche, more pecorino is now produced in Abruzzo, where Luigi Cataldi Madonna was the first producer to market a pure pecorino based on the varietal name.
"The Cocci Griffonis rediscovered pecorino but I was the one to baptise it," says the university philosophy lecturer.
Cataldi Madonna says acidity-based freshness should be the defining quality of a pecorino, and his lead has influenced the style of other producers in Abruzzo.
"If I need to meditate I read Saint Augustine, I don't drink a glass of wine," he told AFP, saying he has no time for those who seek to elevate fermented grape juice into something overly complex.
"I drink when I'm happy, with friends and having fun. That's what wine is for.
"The only noble drink is water!"
- Diluted versions -
Wine expert D'Agata meanwhile warns that rapidly expanding production could make pecorino a victim of its own success.
"Right now it is Italy's hottest white. And there is no doubt it can give complex, age-worthy wines," he says.
"But it is being planted everywhere and from high yielding biotypes, whereas pecorino is a low yielder by definition. The result is that a lot of Pecorino doesn't resemble what I think the wine should smell and taste like."(c) 1994-2016 Agence France-Presse(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)

Alien depicts members of a fictional human race who have come to a new land seeking refuge from their home country, which is in turmoil. Upon their arrival, they discover how their presence is feared and questioned by many of their new country’s inhabitants.
They also learn how other marginalized communities are viewed by their cultural majorities.
As these newcomers are thrust into an environment of displacement, assimilation and surveillance, they find strength in the their differences and insist on being seen authentically by their new societies. This piece is inspired by stories of immigrants to the United States and Europe, as well as by our own personal stories of being “othered” because of who we are.
In a time when certain political leaders seek to divide people from each other based on their differences, we invite people to have a shared experience of empathy through the transformative power of dance.

Transverse and volume magnification effects are described for the case of a single lens used to relay the object space in off-axis holography of micro-objects. Using a single calibration of the transverse magnification at a mean longitudinal image distance, we derive relationships for transverse and volume magnifications for a given control volume. The validity of simple limiting solutions in relevant physical conditions is also discussed. Using the knowledge of the transverse magnification at two longitudinal locations, we determine a simple solution for the magnification calculation at any third location. The exact solutions for the transverse and volume magnifications are then obtained in a simpler manner.

Prostitution and sex trafficking in Thailand are highly visible and strongly discussed topics in the contemporary antislavery field. Social attitudes, political interventions and economic realities have shaped the conditions that allow the two practices to continue.
From the mids to the mids prostitution was legal and taxed by the Thai government. The late s to the s witnessed an influx in the number of Chinese labor workers and sex workers coming to Thailand. Prostitution flourished especially after the abolishment of slavery in as former slave wives under the feudal system found themselves alone and without financial support.
The use of Thailand as a rest and recreation destination for U. In the s, Thailand saw a boom in sex tourism as the government poured millions of baht to promote tourism in the country. Today, under the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act , prostitution is prohibited. The Act addresses child sex trafficking as well. Briefly, in , the Ministry of Justice discussed legalizing prostitution as a means of increasing tax revenue and improving conditions for sex workers. Though that debate never led to legalization, prostitution in Thailand today is largely seen as a financial transaction and is widely tolerated.
Several cultural and economic factors support the continuation of the sex industry. Kevin Bales addresses the role of religion and gender stratification in sustaining the practice of prostitution. Strict interpretations of the Buddhist doctrine in Thailand put females at a much lower status than men. These believers adhere to the beliefs centered on karma, rebirth and nirvana. The hierarchy is a result of the belief that good karma good works leads to a higher position when one is reborn.
Thus, to be born rich and powerful indicates that one performed good actions in the past and is closer to the ultimate spiritual goal of nirvana. Those born in poverty, those who have diseases and those who are born female are assumed to have committed wrongdoings in the past and, therefore, deserve their lower status. In general, the hierarchy — from high to low — is as follows: the monastic, men, women, the crippled, the poor and animals.


Facebook’s crypto project put on hold
However, the criticism was not long in coming. This was not a project that was taken very well by any of the world’s financial authorities. But now these players can breathe a sigh of relief, because after three years, Meta has decided to put its crypto project on hold.
The project met with great resistance
Facebook is a company that most people first caught sight of in connection with the launch of the online community of the same name.
The online community Facebook was started in 2004. In the beginning, it was only meant for students at the university where Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was a student. But they quickly realized that this could be something big, so quickly began to expand.
Expansion was something they continued with for many years. The company acquired Instagram and Whatsapp in 2012 and 2014, respectively, when they saw an enormous growth potential in these social media. This means that for the past four years, Facebook has housed all three of these media.
However, expansion in other areas has not been as easy. When Facebook announced that they would invest in crypto in 2019, this was not something that was very well received. On the contrary – this was a project that met with a lot of opposition, including when it came to the project’s safety and reliability.
A lot back and forth
It is not to be underestimated that there has been a lot of back and forth in connection with this project. Facebook’s (now: Meta) plans were announced in 2019, then under the name Libra, but then a few different things were said:
- In August 2020, it was said that there would be a digital wallet called Novi as part of Facebook’s crypto project. This was to come before the launch of the cryptocurrency Libra .
- In December 2020, however, it was announced that the project had been given a new name, and that the new name would be Diem.
In addition to the project being given a new name, the business had also been moved. Initially, the business was added to the United States, but that it had now been moved to Switzerland.
But then came the counter message
Meta’s crypto project is probably something many people have been following with excitement, for various reasons, but recently a counter-message came. The crypto project, which has been on the cards for a few years now, has been put on hold – at least by Meta.
Meta itself can tell that they have had a dialogue with federal financial authorities all the way, and the result of this dialogue is that they have realized that the project can not continue. Therefore, they have decided to sell it instead.
And they have done that to Silvergate Bank, which is an investor company that owns a number of other cryptocurrency projects.
In that connection, the sale price was also stated, and it was far from cheap. Meta’s crypto project cost Silvergate Bank as much as 182 million dollars, which is equivalent to around 1.6 billion Norwegian kroner!


How to leverage data to detect investment opportunities automatically?
The first step is determining which city has the best metrics.
We conducted a pilot study on five cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. We compared Irving, Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, and Garland across population density, economic growth, construction density, development density, and existing building inventory density. If you are wondering why we focus on density, read the following article.
Which is the best city for investment in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area?
According to our density index, Irving, Texas, has the most favorable trends. Between 2010 and 2020, Irving had the highest current building density, construction activity density, and economic growth. It also takes second place in negative crime trends and third place in population density.
Irving has the most significant land constraint, with approximately two billion square feet of development capacity. Arlington, with a similar geographic area, has five billion, and Fort Worth, four times the size of Irving, has 23 billion square feet of development capacity.
Why is land constraint important for timing real estate investments?
Land constraint is a typical quality of a prominent downtown area. Think Manhattan, downtown San Francisco, and Miami Beach. In areas with little land left, the value of existing building fabric increases. The combination of land constraints with growing economic trends is a considerable value growth indicator.
Get in touch for the 2020 Dallas-Fort Worth MSA density investment index report.
Tune into our weekly webinar every Thursday at 3PM EST to hear about new trends and development hot leads.

Unsolved POCO X3 NFC: FingerPrint reader always on :(
I have a freshly flashed device POCO X3 NFC. It seems to be working just fine, except one thing:
The fingerprint reader, which is also a power button, stays always on. Meaning it reacts on every touch of the skin. Even if there are no finger prints registered and the device is not set to use FP to unlock the screen.
It is getting super annoying, because the button emits certain "behaviours" under different circumstances: Mostly it acts as "enter" (new line) when typing messages in various applications; in app switch view it selects/switches to the first app etc.
Can I please ask for help, if this FP reader can be disabled? (so that the button really works as just an ordinary power button).
Thanks a lot
@Boldos hi there
You're using the 16.04 stable channel?
I have the same phone and i don't have this issue.
@StephPTi Yes, correct, 16.04 stable.
The device model is M2007J20CG.
@Boldos same as mine.
On android, the FP / power button was working fine?
Also, did you install the correct stock ROM before flashing to ubuntu touch?
@StephPTi Well, I did not use Android extensively, only for some minor looking around (it is awful ), but I did not notice anything wrong with the button or the system...
The device came with Android 11, I downgraded to Android 10 using the image:
...and using the attached script 'flash_all.sh'.
I'm thinking if there is a way to re-image it back to Android now? To check, if the button worked ok? (I never re-imaged UBports phone back to Android before, so not sure about the implications...)

Tuesday, the Alabama Legislature awarded final approval to a bill that makes it a crime for those who do not qualify to park in spaces specifically reserved for Purple Heart and medal of valor recipients, former prisoners of war or other military veterans.
House Bill 92 was sponsored by State Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, who chairs the House Military and Veterans Affairs Committee.
“More and more businesses are setting aside special parking spaces reserved for military veterans who were wounded, taken prisoner, or presented a medal for valor in defense of our country,” Moore said. “It is unconscionable to think that someone who does not fall under these categories would park in a space reserved for our nation’s heroes, but it happens quite often. This new law will ensure that those who display such blatant disrespect will be punished appropriately.”
Any individual who illegally parks in a space reserved for military veterans or active personnel will be subject to a $25 fine for the first offense, a $50 fine for the second offense and $100 for each subsequent offense.
House Bill 92 also states that Purple Heart and medal of valor recipients, former POWs and other veterans who do not possess distinctive state license plates denoting their status may apply to the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs for a special placard that may be placed in their windshield while utilizing reserved parking.
The bill passed the House during House Military Appreciation Day, which was last Thursday. The Senate passed the bill, though they amended it.
On Tuesday, the House voted to concur with the Senate. The bill now goes to Gov. Kay Ivey’s desk for her review and signature.
Moore is leaving the House at the end of his current term. He will be running for Congress in the 2nd District as a Republican. Congresswoman Martha Roby, R-Montgomery, former Congressman Bobby Bright, retired Army Sergeant Major Tommy Amason, and former Alabama court system Administrator Rich Hobson are all running in the Republican primary for Congress.
Audri Scott Williams and Tabitha Isner are running in the Democratic primary.
Both major party primaries are on June 5, 2018.

The young man was left completely immobilised on the balcony as blood started to pour from his leg. After shouting for help, he managed to get the attention of a neighbour who called 112.
The squatter received immediate medical help on the balcony. He was then transferred urgently to Denia Hospital. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was taken to be operated on his ‘self-inflicted’ wound.
The neighbours were shaken up by the amount of blood on the floor but told the police they did ‘not know’ about the squatter before the incident.
Health authorities have not released a statement on the young man’s recovery.

horrible, high prices, rip off they added more drinks to my tab. no service. got sick from the food.
all small plates, food was average and our wings were under cooked and still raw. Wing dipping sauces are a'la carte. The place is brand new so we'll have to give it sometime.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The mayor of Minneapolis and a man injured in the September mass shooting in town are calling on Minnesota Rep. Erik Paulsen to help pass a bill requiring background checks on all gun sales.
John Souter was expected Thursday morning to join Mayor R.T. Rybak in Minnetonka, part of Paulsen's district, to urge the Republican congressman to vote for universal background checks in Congress.
A spokesman for Paulsen did not return a request Wednesday for comment on his stance.
Expanding background checks to nearly all gun sales are at the heart of a push in the Senate to tighten federal firearm legislation. The debate has not yet hit the Republican-controlled House.
Souter was injured in the Sept. 27 shooting at Accent Signage Systems, in which five people were killed.

To help embrace the new year challenge of going vegan for a month as part of ‘Veganuary’ the regular city centre street food event will be supplying the usual top-notch street food, with the complete absence of animal products.
The event has even expanded to a three-day fest this year in the face of an incredible growth in the popularity of both veganism and a flexitarian approach to eating.
According to research, 91% of the nation is now adopting a flexitarian approach to eating, with more than a third of evening meals now containing no meat at all.
To really show off how amazing vegan food can be a fantastic selection of traders have put together special vegan menus including freshly fried fish and chips from Hip Hop Chip Shop, gooey mac & cheese from Mac Daddies, piles of mezze from The Ottomen, handmade dumplings from Oh Mei Dumpling plus French patisserie from Chou Choux and some jaw-dropping bakes from the legendary Bake-O-Rama.
On top of this, there will also be a mini food produce market selling locally produced pies, pasta, butters, cheeses, pickles and ferments to take home.
Alongside the grub, there will be 14 lines of 100% vegan beers from local breweries on cask and keg plus the usual selection of wines, ciders, handmade sodas, soft drinks, hot drinks and spirits.
Jules Bailey, director of GRUB said “Seeing the growth of veganism this year has been brilliant and it’s been amazing to see Manchester become the vegan capital of the North. We want to do our bit in showing everyone you can eat cracking, tasty food and have a good knees up at a vegan food fest and that’s why we’re doing ExtraVEGANza again this year!”

ROSATOM Acquires 49% Stake in Korean Enertech International

RENERA LLC, ROSATOM’s integrator company for the energy storage business, has finalized the deal to acquire 49% share of Enertech International Inc, a South Korean manufacturer of electrodes, lithium-ion storage cells and energy storage systems. The signed agreement also includes building a facility for manufacturing of lithium-ion cells and energy storage systems in Russia, with at least 2 GWh production capacity by 2030. The start of the first stage of production is scheduled for 2025. Llithium-ion batteries made in Russia will be applied in electric vehicles (buses and cars), special equipment and in power grids.
The alliance with the Korean partner is a part of ROSATOM’s strategic development of non-nuclear businesses. Energy storage is an end-to-end technology in ROSATOM’s portfolio of new businesses, which makes it possible to create high-tech products which are in demand in the new technological paradigm.
Lithium-ion batteries are considered to be one of the most advanced and popular energy storage technologies. Due to the combination of affordable prices and high performance, such batteries have become the key component for development of environmentally friendly passenger transport – electric vehicles. Establishment of a world-class battery production enterprise in Russia would also become a landmark event for the national automotive industry. Reducing dependence on imports, associated commercial risks and, as the result, lower cost of the final products could become an incentive for production growth and widespread introduction of Russian-made electric transport.

Green Lodging News’ list of Solar Powered hotels in its Renewable Energy All Stars section grew by yet another this past week with the announcement of the completion of a 269 kW photovoltaic system at the Ramada Silicon Valley in Sunnyvale, Calif. The installation is projected to produce 426,000 kWh of power annually. The electricity generated by the system is expected to power at least 70 percent of the hotel’s 175 guestrooms, public lighting and three EV charging stations.
The clean energy produced by the system is expected to equal a reduction of 8,727 tons of CO2 over 25 years or planting 203,000 trees. In addition to the environmental benefits, the PV system has the potential to save the hotel approximately $100,000 per year.
The article about the Ramada Silicon Valley comes the same week as my article just posted about the use of solar energy for water heating. Be sure to read this article that explains the basic differences between the two main types of solar water heating systems—evacuated tube and flat plate. The article also provides some specific examples of hotels benefiting from solar water heating.
U.S. Solar Market Had Best Year in 2016
The number of solar powered hotels continues to grow in the United States primarily due to plummeting costs and available incentives. According to the Solar Energy Industries Assn. (SEIA), the U.S. solar market had its biggest year ever in 2016, nearly doubling its previous record and adding more electric generating capacity than any other source of energy for the first time ever. On average, U.S. solar photovoltaic system pricing fell by nearly 20 percent in 2016.
“It would be hard to overstate how impressive 2016 was for the solar industry,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, SEIA’s president and CEO, in a recent press release. “Prices dropped to all-time lows, installations expanded in states across the country and job numbers soared. The bottom line is that more people are benefitting from solar now than at any point in the past, and while the market is changing, the broader trend over the next five years is going in one direction—and that’s up.”
According to William Chen, COO and VP of Engineering for Adroit Energy, costs have not gone down as much for solar water heating systems but the potential return on investment remains attractive. At the 439-room Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead, for example, Director of Engineering Wes Shirley expects an ROI of a little more than three years for a 20-panel system on the hotel’s roof.
Says Shirley, “We used to get guest calls about hot water. We have not had a single hot water call since we installed it. The boilers only fire up on the weekends or during very busy times. We used to have a boiler company come out every three months. We have not had to call them a single time.” Shirley adds that the system has a 25-year life expectancy.
Rely on Expert Advice
As explained in my article, even in cloudy, northern climates, solar can make sense for water heating and to supplement utility-generated electricity. The key is to talk to an expert and their customers first before moving forward with plans.
For hoteliers, Adroit Energy’s Chen recommends finding a reputable and licensed contractor with a large portfolio of successful commercial projects.
Adds Dave Crawmer, President & CEO, Solar America Solutions, “Ask for references. Ask the people who write the checks.”
If your property has a solar installation that is not listed on our website, be sure to let me know. I will gladly add it. And, if you believe your current or upcoming solar project is worthy of editorial coverage, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.org or by phone at (813) 510-3868.

Of the thousand room huntments, near about 400 are in ruins.
Bengaluru, Aug. 23, 2018: On the morning of Aug. 18, some 400 families were rendered homeless when the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagar Palike (BBMP) demolished a part of the hutments on Kariamma Agrahara road in Bellandur.
According to the Zonal Assistant Engineer Prakash, the demolition was on the grounds of unauthorized construction and unsanitary practices. He went on to add that in heavy rains these areas, whose levels are much lower than their surroundings, flood quickly and result in the breeding of mosquitoes possibly carrying viral diseases.
The owner of the land, a lawyer Sampath Kumar has filed a case against BBMP on the grounds of illegal destruction of property on private land without prior notice. According to Prakash, who coordinated this drive, BBMP and a local police sub-inspector went on to the site on Aug. 2 and told about a 100 residents about the upcoming demolition drive.
He also visited the land owner, Sampath Kumar, to warn him about the drive. According to zonal assistant engineer Prakash, the law does not obligate any Municipal Corporation to send prior notice to the erring party before demolition of his property, if the MC considers the property an immediate danger to the surrounding areas.
The Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act of 1976 makes it obligatory for any MC body to issue a show-cause notice to the owner of the unauthorized construction before demolition, to give him a period of time and opportunity to prove that his property is not illegal.
In the midst of this clash between the BBMP and the land owner, hundreds of people now have to collect their belongings from the rubble that used to be their home.
Rabia, 51 year old mother, mother of seven daughters, was in Delhi at her daughter’s house when the BBMP came. When she returned home, she found her belongings lying in a pile of ruins, and the pair of gold earrings she saved for the marriage of her youngest daughter was lost in the rubble.
Taniya and her infant son Rabiyul, who are living in the ruins and sleeping under a tarpaulin at night, lost most of their belongings along with their television set when the bulldozers ran over their home.
Zarin, a resident of North India, who made a makeshift home out of cardboard and asbestos sheets, lost her gold chain in the pile of debris along with her television set and some furniture.
Some of the kids who study in the nearby government school in Marathahalli were not sent to school out of fear that the bulldozer might come again.
Most of the women in the affected area work in the upscale residential complex of Mantri Espana next door. The complex authorities have been complaining about the unsanitary practices that go on in the hutments, and cited security concerns related to the septic tanks being constructed too close to the boundary walls of the complex, according to Ramesh, a regular maintenance staff of the complex.
After this demolition drive, some of the workers from the hutments were not allowed to work in the complex anymore by their employers, said Taniya.
According to BBMP, the plan to demolish the rest of the hutments, about a thousand, is still planned.

Minneapolis city officials say a loan program designed to bring residents into areas hard hit by foreclosures, is a success.
More than three-fourths of people who bought homes in Minneapolis using the program are first-time home buyers.
The Minneapolis Advantage Program provides $10,000-loans to people who buy homes in specific neighborhoods.
City officials say they received more than 700 applications for the 50 available loans.
Eligible buyers had to be able to qualify for a prime rate mortgage. And so far, 45 of the 50 loans have closed.
A majority of the home buyers in the program are under 36 years old and white. And one in three of the buyers moved from the suburbs or St. Paul to buy into Minneapolis.
The loans can be used for closing costs, renovation or a downpayment. If the home buyer stays in the property for at least five years, the loan is forgiven.

Irrigation agency takes steps to minimise effects of drought
A number of farming communities across the island are to benefit from a range of strategies to be implemented by the National Irrigation Commission (NIC) to mitigate the effects of the prolonged drought.
The NIC says as part of its plan to provide farmers with greater access to irrigation water, scores of storage tanks and wells are to be rehabilitated and farmers will be encouraged to engage in best practices for land and water management.
And the agency says it will be putting additional storage tanks into operation in Manchester to assist farmers in that parish.
Over in Clarendon, the NIC says pumps and wells that were out of service are being rehabilitated to supplement the surface water sources, while pumping hours will be extended in the parishes of St Catherine and St Elizabeth.

Here Are All The Snake References In Taylor Swift's "LWYMMD" Music Video So Far
Taylor Swift, what am I going to do with you? Just when I think I can live a normal life, she announces that she's dropping Reputation. All of a sudden I'm slicking my hair back and buying a chain choker necklace. THANKS A LOT, TAY. Seriously, thank you for making my life complete again. Instead of being forced to wait until the entirety of her album drops on Nov. 10, Taylor Swift released a preview for her "Look What You Made Me Do" music video on Aug. 25 and it looks intense. On top of that, fans are finding all the snakes in Taylor Swift's music video and finally putting the pieces together.
If you take a look at the video posted on Taylor Swift's Instagram, you'll notice a few snakes in the short preview. Twitter can't stop talking about all of the snake references they've found so far. Taylor Swift is seen wearing snake rings on her fingers, and there happens to be a snake slithering behind her while she's sitting in the chair. On top of that, she's actually selling snake rings as part of her tour merch. Yup, she's really embracing the label her haters have given her.
Here's the music video preview:
And here's what fans are saying:
The snake is huge symbol for Swift. On July 17, 2016, Kim Kardashian blew our minds by releasing footage of Kanye West chatting on the phone with Swift about his song, "Famous." This was a huge deal because Swift had been making a stink about West using her name in his song and referring to her as "that b*tch." The videos of the alleged phone calls seemingly exonerated West of any wrong doing. July 17 is now known as National Snake Day.
However, Swift is seemingly done playing the victim. Taylor Swift fans took back National Snake Day, claiming to be "proud snakes." It looks like Swifty took some of that inspiration into her new album.
Although Swift has been in hiding for about a year, she's out and wants everyone to know what's up. While I'm not sure if we'll be seeing any more snakes in Swift's upcoming music videos, she is certainly embracing this Reputation. See what I did there? Swift just makes it too easy.
This will be the first music video to be released from her newest album, but it certainly won't be the last. I can't wait to see what else Reputation has to offer. HURRY UP ALREADY. Be sure to watch Taylor Swift's full music video at the VMAs this Sunday.

Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has denied ever having sexual relations with his sister-in-law as reported several years ago.
“No, it’s not true,” he told Bola Ray on Accra-based Starr FM when the question was directly put to him.
The Weekend Crusading Guide first broke the story on September 17, 2004 but did not mention anybody’s name. A follow-up done by Daily Guide, however, named Mr Bagbin.
According to the story, Mr Bagbin, while having issues with his wife as far back as 1989, resorted to having sex with his 17-year-old sister-in-law at the time, with whom they stayed in the same house. The story claimed Mr Bagbin impregnated the teenager and subsequently rented a separate apartment for her.
Mr Bagbin, however, said the allegation was aimed at smearing him. “You know, we were getting into elections and my opponents came at me and that time I had some disagreement with my very good senior Freddie Blay and I think all worked [for] their paper, and so it was Daily Guide that published it. It’s not true that,” he told Bola Ray.
The Nadowli-Kaleo MP said even though he took the Daily Guide on at the time, “I mean you don’t stop and throw stones at any dog that barks at you when you are moving. If you do that you will never reach your destination. I was focused on winning my elections, so, I went to campaign.”
He, however, explained that it is not a taboo within his tradition to have sexual relations with his sister-in-law.
“In any case, in my area, it’s a norm, it’s accepted. Traditionally [it is accepted] because we are paternal. But no, I never did that,” he emphasised.
He believed the confusion came about due to people’s interpretation of his response to certain aspects of the allegation during an interview with Accra-based Joy FM.
“When I was asked a question on Joy FM about it, I told Joy FM that there was a time that we had to discuss the possibility of me marrying her and they asked whether we had intimacy and I tried to know what that meant. Then I said yes, so, because of that answer, people just read into it and said [I had slept with my sister-in-law]. This was in 1990,” the veteran MP said.
Asked by Bola Ray to clarify his version of “intimacy”, Mr Bagbin said: “No, I never impregnated her, I didn’t have a child by her. … You know she actually grew up in our hands from a very tender age. My wife picked her up and then we brought her up, but when we left for Libya she was left in the hands of other people and then she dropped out of school and so on returning from Libya we had to go back and take her and try to educate her and salvage her, we worked hard at her, she is still in Accra working and taking care of herself. But that was politics for you and I told my class in GIMPA about this and they were all shocked because they all believed it …”

We report the case of a pregnant woman sensitized with a panreactive anti-Rh17 alloantibody. Patients red blood cells showed a partial deletion of Rh antigens, which was responsible for the alloimmunization. An autotransfusion program was instrumented so as to cover possible demands. Molecular analysis of the RH locus showed the presence of a hybrid RHCE-D(5-7)-CE allele that gave origin to the deleted phenotype.

Complications seen from percutaneous ablative therapy for trigeminal neuralgia have been extensively documented. The oral mucosa may be penetrated during the approach, resulting in bacterial meningitis or brain abscess. A carotid-cavernous fistula may result from injury to the internal carotid artery. There is a possibility of otalgia from eustacian tube dysfunction, or temporomandibular joint tenderness along with jaw weakness. Aseptic meningitis has been reported, as well as intracranial hemorrhage from acute hypertension. Other reported complications are bradycardia with subsequent hypotension, neurokeratitis, temporary diplopia, optic nerve injury, subdural hematoma, postoperative herpes simplex activation, bothersome facial sensory loss and dysesthesias, and anesthesia dolorosa [18,19]. These potential morbidities need to be discussed with patients as part of the preoperative meeting even though the risk of their occurrence is 2% or less.
As long as the surgical endpoint selected is mild to moderate hypes-thesia, there will be a recurrence rate of 20% to 25%, depending on the time elapsed after surgery, with recurrence rates being twice as high for trigeminal neuralgia associated with multiple sclerosis. Recurrent pain occurs either because of regeneration of injured myelin or from progression of the disease to include untreated trigeminal sensory divisions.
Each of these ablative procedures can be safely repeated for recurrence, as long as the goal remains the creation of mild to moderate hypesthesia. There is no evidence to suggest that patients who have undergone a percutaneous ablative procedure are at any disadvantage should they later undergo microvascular decompression for recurrence. However, the success rate for treatment by a repeat procedure is lower than that for a primary procedure and the recurrence rate is higher.

I have to admit I was quietly hoping Tangiers would appear on Kickstarter after seeing an early preview at some other games site. Well, I’d prefer it to appear on my computer, ready to play, but for many indie developers these days Kickstarter is an important step between taking up ideaspace and taking up hard drive space.
So what is it, and why do I care?
Tangiers is a stealth game inspired by surrealism and dadaism, Burroughs and Ballard, Throbbing Gristle and David Lynch and in one fell swoop it manages to scratch every itch I could possibly have.
Starting with the sandbox stealth of the Thief games as a foundation, they’re planning to build a unique and subtly-mutating city of dark surrealism atop it. From the Kickstarter page:
Your interactions with the world cause it to fall apart. In homage to Burrough’s cut-up technique, the world collapses and rebuilds itself the more you interact with it – future areas rebuilt with the fragments and personality of places you mistreated. From this every play-through will, subtly or drastically, be unique to you.
This is a world I desperately wish to explore and lose myself in.
They’ve posted a video showing how the stealth will function in the game, and though Andalusian are calling it pre-Alpha footage, it’s already looking like a gorgeous, twisted nightmare city, populated with subconscious creatures brought vividly to life.
They’re asking for £35,000 to make fascinating title, seemingly unlike anything we’ve seen before, so I can only suggest that you give them all your money. All of it.

According to authorities, Dexter was the victim of another shooting approximately two weeks ago.
"He had a history of shootings involving drug transactions," Hobbs said.
Dexter was shot twice in his legs about two weeks ago on Lucerne Avenue, according to Hobbs. At the time, Dexter admitted to authorities that he'd been in involved in a drug transaction and was robbed of $15,000, but had refused to tell investigators who had shot him.
Investigators found evidence Wednesday morning that Dexter had exchanged gunfire with at least one other individual on Massachusetts Avenue. Hobbs described the exchange as a "gunfight."
The investigation into the shooting remains open.

Volunteer fire department brings back EMS
The Byesville Volunteer Fire Department expanded the services they offer to the resident of the Village of Byesville and Jackson Township on April 27 when they reinstated the Byesville Emergency Medical Service.
The department put into service a BLS/ALS Ambulance unit to provide the emergency medical and transport services.
According to Chief Tim Haren, the department previously had an EMS service that ran from the early 1970s into the late 1990s, when the village decided to get out of the EMS business. Shortly after that United Ambulance built a station.
For about seven months prior to the addition of the ambulance, the department started to provide emergency medical response.
“What we really wanted to do was to add another facet to the our fire department,” Haren said. “We are running into times where we thought we could better serve our village residents and our township residents by providing EMS coverage for them. While it is still volunteer status, we try to make every effort to reach the folks of our coverage area to provide EMS service to them.”
When asked why it was important to the department to have the EMS, Haren responded, “Let’s not worry about the unprecedented times that we are currently in but let’s worry about the fact that with the opioid epidemic that we have in this country and in our county, obviously emergency medical services are important to have. Often times when the rest of the county is strapped with minimal EMS services due to peak volumes its important to have an EMS unit in your coverage area to provide much needed support services to sustain somebody's life.”
While the department shares other EMS providers with the rest of the county, their EMS unit serves just the Village of Byesville and Jackson Township.
Haren also noted that their has been a significant decrease in call volume and he attributes that to the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes people are afraid to be transported to the hospital for fear of catching the coronavirus.
The department currently has six EMS providers.
“It’s important to make sure people know its a volunteer status,” Haren said. “There may be times we may not have a crew available, but that doesn't mean that no one is coming to help them. There are other EMS companies that will pick up where someone left off. Even if our ambulance is out of service, out on a call, this department will still provide first response coverage which is basically the same type of care. The only difference is we are not transporting that patient at that time. Somebody form this department if notified will make sure they are provided EMS coverage.”
The EMS is funded by an ambulance levy voted on by residents of the Village of Byesville and Jackson Township. The village nets the department about $12,000 to $13,000 a year while the township Board of Trustees has entered into a contract to provide $20,000 a year in quarterly installments. So the operating budget for the EMS is about $30,000 to $35,000 a year, according to Haren who also noted that the department will be billing insurance companies.
The department is currently looking for EMS providers. Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible to take EMT classes and be a part of the National Registry. According to Haren, the department will take as many volunteer EMS providers as they can get.
There are currently five members of the department taking the EMT class and Haren is hopeful that the members will get to complete the class which has been temporarily halted due to the pandemic by the end of the year.
According to Jeremy Rice, department squad leader, since reinstating the EMS in April the department has had 186 calls with 14 transports. The ambulance has been out on approximately 40-50 calls.
“That’s a lot of calls for the minimal number of EMS providers that we have,” Rice said. “At any volunteer service its EMS wise we are doing a good job of getting out the door. We probably only missed about five calls in the 40-50 we have had. We either have first responder vehicle out or the ambulance. We have to have membership to respond and we have that.”

On Sunday afternoon my 14-year-old sister asked me for help on her Grade 10 English assignment. She said she had to choose 5-7 Wordsworth poems, identify the literary devices in each one, and write a one-page commentary/close reading on one of the poems. My dear sister was less than enamoured with this task. I have no fond memories of Wordsworth from first year English myself, but when I pulled out Lyrical Ballads with, I admit, some trepidation in order to assist her I found that his poems are really quite lovely. How could I have despised him so much a few years ago? I wondered, but then again I despised most poetry, at least in written form, until about halfway through my degree.
I can pretty well pinpoint the moment when my attitude towards poetry changed. Throughout my university career, I often went to open mics that the creative writing society held. The majority of what people read at these events was poetry, though there was always some prose mixed in. At one such open mic, in the spring of my second year, I decided to write something, as I often do in the joint company of literature and beer (or was it tea I was drinking that night?). At any rate, what came out was a poem. It wasn’t a very good poem, and by the time I was truly happy with it the entire gist of it had changed, but it was a poem, and it was my first.
The following semester I took a module on Modern poetry, studying such greats as Thomas Hardy, T. S. Eliot, and W. B. Yeats. I uncovered a newfound joy in the delectable commentaries I was asked to write, in inspecting the poems, extracting metaphors and allusions, and detailing their meaning. I also took a Creative Writing module and churned out quite a few poems of which I am proud to this day. I had discovered a beauty in poetry that had never before been apparent to me. I’d always been an avid reader, devouring lengthy tomes in the space of 48 or 72 hours, but until a few years ago I had found poetry dull. By the time I ended my first year of university I had begun to understand why that was. Reading instruction had always been focussed on understanding, and as I got older I read faster and with higher comprehension levels, but I had never learnt to slow down and revel in the beauty of the words, and that is crucial for understanding and appreciating poetry.
My sister is now in the same place I was several years ago. She reads prose, but when faced with Wordsworth she recoils. Nevertheless, I am grateful, for her sake, that her school is teaching her poetry. When I was a student there we did very little in the way of poetry, and I’m sure that strengthened my reluctance towards it in later years. In grade 10 we read some Japanese poetry, but reading a translation of a haiku does not require the same skills as reading a long Romantic poem. I was never taught that poetry should be treated differently from prose, and it took me a long time to work this out for myself.


3D printing is coming off the ground, more and more this technology is used for larger quantities and with that, the environmental impact is increasing. We at Signify are producing luminaires based on 3D printing already in large quantities and this will increase further in the coming years. We would like to use, instead of the current plastics, new materials with a bio origin. The challenge is that besides this origin. the materials have to fulfil certain requirements like temperature resistance, strength, reliability etc.

Victoria, BC - Victoria will see the addition of 30 temporary housing units for those who have been staying in shelters long term. This interim housing is the first action of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the city and province to provide housing and services with aims to reduce homelessness.
“Housing is a critical issue across the whole province, there's no question,” said Grace Lore, MLA for Victoria-Beacon Hill, in an interview with Ha-Shilth-Sa. “Certainly, here in Victoria the need for housing, really across the housing continuum, is really acute.”
In mid-February, the City of Victoria and the province announced the opening of Caledonia Place, formerly known as Tiny Town, located on 940 Caledonia Avenue. The reopening of the 30-unit facility will transition those who have been staying in shelters long term to interim units while opening up beds at nightly shelters, reads a joint press release.
“When vulnerable people have safe housing with supports such as health care and skills training, they can start to rebuild their lives, supporting healthy and safe communities for everyone," said Lore in the press release.
Operated by Our Place Society, Lore shared with Ha-Shilth-Sa that they are expecting the housing to be running within weeks.
“These aren't permanent homes,” said Lore, “but they are homes for people while those additional supportive housing and purpose-built rentals get built.”
The implementation of Caledonia Place follows the opening of 30 beds at St. John Divine Church extreme-weather response shelter on Quadra Street, operated by SOLID outreach society.
“Together, these 60 temporary spaces will increase the housing and shelter options available to people experiencing homelessness in the community, while the province, through BC Housing, works to bring other temporary housing and permanent supportive housing to Victoria,” reads the press release.
Throughout Greater Victoria there are currently 380 overnight shelter spaces available, the press release reads. But according to 2023’s Point-In-Time count, the city’s unhoused community amounts to a minimum of 1,665 people.
The MOU was formalized to coordinate rapid support, through BC Housing’s Homeless Encampment Action Response Teams (HEART) and the Homeless Encampment Action Response Temporary Housing (HEARTH) programs.
"With this MOU, we can rely on the province to take advantage of opportunities and undertake innovative actions - partners in a comprehensive strategy to provide rapid access to the supports and services needed to help unhoused people find a home,” said Marianne Alto, mayor of Victoria, in the press release.
“Collaboration and cooperation is essential,” said Lore. “We're only going to meet the needs of our community, of our neighbors, by working together.”
In late January Pandora Avenue was lined with encampments, as Our Place Society offers help to the unhoused on the street. (Eric Plummer photo)

You may recall that last month, Foxconn was making waves with their plan to automate some of their Chinese factories, in order to cut down on labour costs (which are rising in China, believe it or not) and avoid some of the controversy that has arisen due to their poor working conditions. The plan was to deploy a bunch of robots in their factories, replacing some of their more low-level production line workers with the automated machines.
Unfortunately, it now looks like the timeline on the deployment of those robots is being delayed. A report in the Wall Street Journal says that Foxconn will not be able to deploy the robots as fast as they’d like, due to complications regarding the cost of the robots, as well as concerns about their ability to do the jobs required of them.
One of the biggest issues facing the proposed Foxconn robots is that Foxconn changes their production lines to make different products quite often. It won’t be cost effective to make a robot that’s capable of building a certain component, for example, if that component is going in a product that Foxconn will only be manufacturing for a few months. Instead, they must find a way to make robots with some sort of universal production line capabilities, and that’s a much harder task than just making a robot that can perform a single menial task ad infinitum.
For now, it looks like Foxconn’s dream of a automated future may be farther away than they had hoped. As China’s labour costs continue to rise, Foxconn will be raising the manufacturing rates they offer to consumer electronics companies like Apple; in fact, they’ve already raised their costs substantially over the last two years. If they don’t find a way to keep their costs as low as we’ve come to expect from Chinese manufacturing, they may find themselves replaced by factories in other countries where the labour costs are still at rock bottom.
