cattle breed highlight - piedmontese !

though the mighty piedmontese can be found throughout the world, they actually originated in italy! and there they earned the nickname 'groppa di cavallo', or 'horse rump', because of their double-muscling gene that gives them that big, bulky look! (they share this with the belgian blue, one of my favourite breeds!!)

talk about beefy!! am i right!!!

An Article about Lella Lombardi - Nobody makes jokes about women drivers around Lella Lombardi

The sleek Lola T-332 racing car crossed the starting line at the river side, Calif, Grand Prix, hurtled ahead of three cars, and swooped back inside with split-second timings.

"You mean that's really a girl?" Muttered three times indianapolis 500 winner A. J. Foyt, looking on in incredulously from the side liners.

For Lella Lombardi, the first woman in 17 years (and the second ever) to compete on high performance Formula One circut - the big leagues of professionals auto racing - the question is all but invetable. What in the world is a nice Italian girl like Lella doing in overalls and a crash helmet, risking her life at speeds close to 200 miles an hour?

"That's what mama keeps asking me," says the tomboyish 31-year-old Lella, "I guess she thinks I should be home with a good husband and a houseful of bambini."

It was obvious from the beginning, to Lella at least, that she was cut from different cloth compared to most girls. Born in the little Piedmontese village of Furgarolo, she was hooked on auto racing before she was out of diapers.

"The first I remember, I am perhaps 4 or 5 years old," she recalls, "I was making little cars from things I found in my mum's sewing box. When I was 8 I decided I shall be a racing driver. I didn't say anything but I made up my mind."

As a teenager Lella raced motorcycles with boys in her village. The boys were scandalized she beat them - their mothers that she was racing at all. Eventually the village priest came to call.

"He explained why I should be like a girl and what a girl must do," she remembers. "So I told him, 'yes father' but all the time I am thinking why am I not allowed to do as I want."

Nothing if not persistent, Lella saw her first race at 18. Five years later she brought a car of her own, secondhand, Formula Monza 500 that she tinkered with and drove in races herself. Last year, nearly after a decade of coming up through the ranks, she was approached by March Racing Ltd, of England which was looking for a driver for its two-man Grand Prix team.

"Formula 2, Formula 3, Formula 5000 - I raced in them all," says Lella, "I win a lot in Italy - six times women's champion. So when March comes to ask me to try out for them, I say to myself, 'Why not?'"

March's decision to hire her was hardly made lightly. A single Grand Prix car costs $100,000 and putting it through a season of racing costs several hundred thousand dollars more.

"Putting a woman into a Grand Prix cockpit means shattering a lot of tradition," acknowledges March team manager, Max Mosley. "Of course, my wild told me, the only reason I was hesitating was because of Lella's sex, no doubt about her skill, in the end, I guess my wife was right."

Now prepping for this Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, Lella is given little chance of winning a race this season (although she finished a respectable sixth in last week's accident-shorter Spanish Grand Prix) since March is designing its cars. Some drivers perhaps disturbed by Lella's invasion of their male peserve, doubt the chunky, 5"2, Lombardi has the stamina for long-distance racing. But March chief Roy Wardell, was watching her during a gruelling test of the company's racers, disagrees.

"Thrasing a car about it bloody hard work," he says, "most male drivers would have been bitching and complaining but she drove more than 300 miles flat out without a whimper." Her main fault, says Wardell, is a rookie's understandable caution. "Lella is still a bit afraid that if she spins out everyone will say, 'see a woman driver'" he says, "but her confidence is building. Pretty soon she'll be mixing it up with the best of them."

"Snow" in various languages and dialects.

Might have gone a bit overboard with Norway and Sweden, but there are so many interesting forms to choose from! If anyone knows what the Piedmontese word comes from I'd be interested to hear. South Sami appears to be the same as the Finnic languages. The only sami language using that word. That's kinda interesting.

Alexander Suvorov on Napoleon:

“Oh, this young Bonaparte, how he strides! He is a hero, a miracle-giant, a sorcerer!” wrote another great commander, Alexander Suvorov, about the young hero. “He defeats nature and he defeats men. He crossed the Alps as if they were not there at all. He has hidden their formidable peaks in his pocket, and concealed his army in the right sleeve of his uniform. It seemed that the enemy only noticed his soldiers when he thrust them out like Jupiter with his lightning, sowing fear everywhere and striking the scattered crowds of Austrians and Piedmontese. Oh, how he moves! As soon as he entered the path of a commander, he cut the Gordian knot of tactics. Not caring about numbers, he everywhere attacks the enemy and breaks it in pieces. He knows the irresistible power of onslaught, and that is all there is to it. His opponents will persist in their sluggish tactics, subordinate to the office pens, while he has a council of war in his head. In action, he is as free as the air he breathes. He leads the regiments, fights and wins according to his will!”

OMG!!! 😱

Lucanis really mentions Bagna Cauda in a dialogue with Bellara?! Did I hear correctly?!

It's my favorite dish!! 😍🤩

It'a a sauce made from garlic, oil and anchovies, in which various vegetables (cooked and raw) and also eggs or apples are dipped. It's served in special bowls under which a candle is placed to keep the sauce warm for the entire time necessary to consume it.

It's a typical dish of the cold season and precisely in this period we are celebrating the "Bagna Cauda Day", an event in the Asti area, where several restaurants serve this typical Piedmontese dish.

I'm really happy that @bioware included it in the game, it's a Piedmontese excellence and a great excuse for all the Dragon Age fans to come and visit the beauties of Asti and Monferrato. 🤗

Bonus Pics: This is me, eating Bagna Cauda on Halloween in 2023 and 2022.

I haven't eaten it yet this year 🥲😁😅

the kidnapping of edgardo mortara / the abduction of eeth and mira's daughter

identified by the 19th century roman inquisition through rumours that the young edgardo mortara, a jewish boy, was baptized as a baby by the mortara family's help without his parent's consent, edgardo was seized & brought into papal custody at 6 years old. his mother & father fought to bring edgardo home but were unsuccessful & unable to see the inquisitor & pontiff brought to justice. edgardo changed his name to one that honored the pope (pio maria), became a loyal priest, and even rejected his brother and the italian royal chief of police's rescue attempt during the piedmontese's capture of the papal states.

edgardo attended the house of catechumens, which operated both as an institution for compulsory religious education for children & one of psychological torment for unwilling candidates.

edgardo's abduction sparked publicized controversy across europe & the US. despite remaining steadfast to the papal state, his role in it ultimately played a part in its demise. with mira & her father last seen alive, having escaped the inquisitorius, i wonder if we'll ever see them again in a similarly tragic context - exposing to sympathetic channels the empire's flagrant seizure of children & potentially reuniting with a daughter they no longer recognize.

another very striking image is one of the catholic woman who sealed edgardo's fate with an anointing - a similar image comes to mind when palpatine attempts to install these cranial devices on the force-sensitive babies in "children of the force".

the varied spectrum of inquisitors to real-world case studies in papal oppression and religious persecution extends to crypto-converts like barriss, a muslim-coded woman, being coerced into saving herself from forced-conversion by playing the inquisitorius' game. her escape is only guaranteed once she is in a territory not presently occupied by imperial forces (barring herself & the fourth sister who she summarily dispatches). the ever-present mockery of jedi practices and culture integrated into the inquisitorius reminds me also of the predica coatta, a mandated sermon, a catholic inversion of jewish sacred rite designed to simultaneously coerce & humiliate those who refused to convert.

In fact, Dalla Ragione has spent more than a decade scouring the masterpieces of 15th- and 16th-century art for answers to one of the great questions of Italian agriculture: Whatever happened to the boisterous selection of fruits that, for centuries, were a celebrated part of Italian cuisine and culture? Slowly and indefatigably, she has been rediscovering those fruits, first in archives and paintings and then, incredibly, in small forgotten plots across Italy. Her nonprofit, Archeologia Arborea, is helping farmers and governments around the world preserve and even bring back into cultivation all manner of forgotten fruits. In the process, Dalla Ragione has become a globally renowned fruit detective, by recognizing in her country’s Renaissance artworks not only exceptional examples of cultural patrimony but also hidden messages from a bygone era of genetic abundance that can offer clues about how to recover what was seemingly lost.

. . .

Six centuries ago, Italy boasted hundreds of varieties for every fruit, each adapted to specific ecological niches. Apple, pear and cherry varieties across Umbria were different, in subtle and not-so-subtle ways, from Venetian, Florentine or Piedmontese varieties. At the turn of the 20th century, the country was home to at least 1,000 pear varieties, according to Dalla Ragione. Today, Italy is one of Europe’s foremost producers of pears. Yet for both pears and apples, a mere four varieties each now compose more than 70 percent of the country’s production, compared with the hundreds of varieties that were common a century ago. A 2020 Atlas of Biodiversity commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture—to which Dalla Ragione contributed—documents how dozens if not hundreds of varieties of peaches, cherries, grapes and apricots once cultivated in Italy’s many regions have shrunk to a handful of uniform varieties for each fruit nationwide.

The loss of those varieties isn’t just a question of lost deliciousness. It also means that we’ve lost centuries of adaptability encoded in the genes of the fruits of yesteryear. According to Mario Marino, an agronomist working with the Climate Change Division of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, who serves on the board of advisers for Archeologia Arborea, rediscovering the descendants of those old fruits will be crucial for Italy’s ability to withstand the unpredictable and increasingly dramatic effects of climate change.

A tree in Dalla Ragione’s orchard bursts with cow-nose apples, like the one she spotted in Bellini’s Madonna With Child. They’re often mistaken for pears.

. . .

In 2017, Dalla Ragione obtained a PhD in biodiversity from the University of Perugia. For her doctoral thesis, she analyzed the genomes of hundreds of pear varieties, which led to a radical discovery: Older pears, dating back to the 15th century and earlier, have many more alleles—meaning more genetic diversity—than 21st-century varieties. “That diversity,” says Lorenzo Raggi, a researcher in agricultural genetics and biotechnologies at the University of Perugia, “can translate into a greater capacity to adapt to different conditions.” This genetic diversity also meant that there were huge differences among the fruits themselves, even those from the same roots. “One year the trees would produce fruits of one color, then the next year, another color,” Dalla Ragione says. It also gave these varieties the capacity to adapt to shifting conditions, generation after generation. They might not produce as much per tree as modern varieties, but their traits helped them survive new pests and changing weather conditions, meaning they produced fruit more steadily over decades and even centuries. 

. . .

“Industrial agriculture created a few varieties that are very productive in very precise conditions, with a lot of chemicals and a lot of water. The new varieties may be bigger and have more consistent color, but they have very few genes—few words. Their genetic patrimony is very simple. If you present the right question, they can answer, because maybe they have four or five or maybe ten words. But if you present other questions—like drought or climate change or other situations—they have no words to answer. They can’t answer because they do not have enough genetic variability inside to answer these questions. Old varieties have a big vocabulary. They have many words to answer these new questions.”

Did you see the article about him dining at that Italian restaurant in Lisbon? Some B grade tabloid somehow knew what he ate but they said he was "possibly" there vacationing with his Portuguese wife. How can they know what he ate but not know for sure whether she was there or not? This shitshow keeps getting shittier!

To me the fact that the whole thing got turned into product placement for Piedmontese truffles was really the moment where we may have jumped the shark officially.

What language(s) do you think are the closest to Catalan in terms of vocabulary, syntax, conjugation, etc?

Without a doubt, Occitan is the closest language to Catalan. In fact, even until the 19th century, Occitan and Catalan were often considered variants of the same language.

After Occitan, the next closest languages are other members of the Galloromance group: Aragonese, French, Arpitan, and some Gallotalian languages like Piedmontese.

That's in general, taking into account grammar. If we look only at words, the closest (outside of Occitan) seems to be Italian. You can find the percentages in this table (format made by me using the data from Ethnologue):

Highlights to answer your question:

Catalan and Italian: 87%

Catalan and French: 85%

Catalan and Spanish: 85%
