Sicilia Inizio di Marzo

Il mandorlo è in fiore e mostra il suo puro bianco contro l’azzurro del cielo. Lo stesso il ciliegio e la solare mimosa. Le tortore si cercano ed i merli pettegoli e noiosi sui fili della luce cantano il loro amore e l’arrivo della primavera, presto il cuculo verrà a confermare quanto l’amore del merlo ha anticipato. Il mare quieto ha onde lunghe dalla schiuma intensa ed ancora sporca di alghe strappate dalla furia invernale. Nuvole passano veloci e nel nuovo sole le lucertole si affacciano pensierose tra i sassi ed i conigli tagliano con i denti parte del loro denso pelo invernale. Il mondo degli uomini inquieto osserva la sua riscoperta fragilità ostaggio di virus e invisibili contagi, come un gregge assalito da un lupo invisibile, invano si muove cercando rifugio e salvezza. La natura invece porta nel vento il polline e la vita di domani, in un intenso adagio, i fiori si schiudono alla nuova luce, mentre la terra gonfia di pioggia morbida accoglie semi e nuovi insetti. Il metronomo della natura batte instancabile il tempo indifferente alle fatiche e alle paure degli uomini e generosamente dona morte e bellezza, distruzione e continua creazione, così che ti scopri l’atomo del suo infinito scorrere.

The almond tree is in bloom and shows its pure white against the blue sky. The same is the cherry tree and the sunny mimosa. The turtle doves are sought and the gossipy and boring blackbirds sing their love and the arrival of spring, soon the cuckoo will come to confirm how much the love of the blackbird has anticipated. The calm sea has long waves with intense foam and still dirty with algae torn by winter fury. Clouds pass quickly and in the new sun the lizards look thoughtfully between the stones and the rabbits cut part of their dense winter fur with their teeth. The restless world of men observes its rediscovered fragility hostage of viruses and invisible contagions, like a flock attacked by an invisible wolf, in vain moves in search of refuge and salvation. Nature, on the other hand, brings pollen and tomorrow's life into the wind, in an intense adage, the flowers open up in the new light, while the earth swollen with soft rain welcomes seeds and new insects. The metronome of nature tirelessly beats indifferent time to the labors and fears of men and generously gives death and beauty, destruction and continuous creation, so that you discover the atom of its infinite flow.

Telehandler Market to Have a Remarkable Growth

Market Analysis

The global telehandler market is touted to touch 6684 units at 2.6% CAGR over the assessment period (2010-2020). Telescopic handlers or telehandlers are lifting machines that are generally mounted on the vehicle. It comes with a telescopic boom which helps in facilitating lifting heights of around 50 feet or above. These machines are widely used in construction industries and agriculture. As opposed to other types of machinery, it is extremely versatile in nature. Telehandlers can be utilized for carrying out various tasks, resting on the attached accessories on the telescopic boom. Compared to a forklift, a telehandler offers higher power yet enjoys similar maneuverability, thereby offering the perfect balance between usability, power and reach. Being highly mobile, telehandlers can be driven to most location and sites. It is versatile to navigate on different working environments as it offers three steering modes- crab steering, 4-wheel drive and front wheel. Using various attachments, it can be used as a crane, skid-steer loader, wheel loader, tractor, cherry picker or lift truck. The best part about using a telehandler is that it helps in replacing a large volume of manual lifting on a work site, thus making complicated lifting and moving much easier.

There are plentiful factors that is boosting the growth of the telehandler market. These factors as per the Market Research Future (MRFR) report include growing demand for systems in the construction machinery that is technologically advanced due to high productivity rate, widespread application in agriculture and construction industries, developments and innovations in the infrastructure industry, and assorted range of latest construction equipment and tools in the fleets. Telehandler over the years have evolved into sophisticated construction equipment from a typical farming and landscaping equipment due to its 360-degree movement capability and the capacity of bearing high load. The ability of telehandlers for performing various tasks especially in construction and farming will further add to the growth of the market. Also, the expansion of the rental construction equipment market resulted in the increase in collaboration amid rental fleet owners and construction equipment manufacturers based on the construction sector’s expansion. This in turn is prognosticated to propel the growth of the telehandler market over the assessment period. On the contrary, rising input price results in higher operational cost that may hinder the growth of the telehandler market over the assessment period. Also, balancing the price structure coupled with analyzing the need of such machines for long term in specific application is again predicted to deter the growth of the telehandler market over the assessment period.

Market Segmentation

MRFR report provides an extensive segmental analysis of the telehandler market on the basis of capacity and application.

Based on capacity, it is segmented into less than 3 ton, 3.1-4 tons and 4.1-5 tons.

Based on application, the telehandler market is segmented into mining, agriculture, construction and others. Of these, the construction application will have the largest share in the market over the assessment period.

Regional Analysis

By region, the telehandler market covers growth opportunities and latest trends across China, Germany, France, UK and Eastern European Countries. Of these, Germany will command the telehandler market over the assessment period owing to the presence of numerous industries here such as agrochemicals, plant breeding and construction. China is prognosticated to expand at a notable CAGR over the assessment period due to increased manufacturing activities coupled with rapid industrialization in this region.

Key players

Leading players profiled in the telehandler market include Bobcat Corporate (U.S.), Merlo S.p.A (Italy), J C Bamford Excavators Ltd. (U.K), Manitou (U.K.) and others.

April 2019- Haulotte has introduced a new telehandler, the HTL 3207, the most compact to date. It has 3.2 tonnes of lift capacity and up to 6.85m height. Measuring 4.67m in length and with a short turning radius, this machine has been designed for access to narrow spaces especially in industrial-related and construction settings. This telehandler is extremely user friendly.

Hybrid vs. Heirloom Seeds

By Jean Smith – I am a diehard for plants grown from heirloom seeds, and I save most of my own seeds for our farm. I thought now would be a good time to give a lesson on the basic differences between hybrid and heirloom seeds. We’ll look at specific definitions of hybrid and heirloom seeds and then I will give my own personal feelings on the two, as well as some of my favorite varieties along with some resources!

Heirloom Seeds

The definition and use of the word “heirloom” to describe plants is fiercely debated. One school of thought places an age or date point on the cultivars. For instance, one school says that for heirloom seeds, the cultivar must be more than 100 years old, but others say 50 years, and others prefer the date of 1945, which marks the end of World War II and roughly the beginning of widespread use of hybrid seeds by growers and seed companies. Many gardeners consider 1951 to be the latest year a plant can have originated and still be called heirloom seeds, since that year marked the widespread introduction of hybrid varieties. It was in the 1970s that hybrid seeds began to proliferate in the commercial seed trade through the top seed companies. Some heirloom plants are much older, some being apparently pre-historic.

Another way of defining heirloom seeds is to use the definition of the word “heirloom” in its truest sense. Under this interpretation, a true heirloom is a cultivar that has been nurtured, selected, and handed down from one family member to another for many generations.

Additionally, there is another category of cultivars that could be classified as “commercial heirloom seeds,” cultivars that were introduced many generations ago and were of such merit that they have been saved, maintained, and handed down — even if the seed company has gone out of business or otherwise dropped the line. Additionally, many old commercial releases have actually been family heirlooms that a seed company obtained and introduced.

Regardless of a person’s specific interpretation, most authorities agree that heirloom seeds, by definition, must be open-pollinated. They may also be open-pollinated varieties that were bred and stabilized using classic breeding practices. While there are no genetically modified tomatoes available for commercial or home use, it is generally agreed that no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be considered heirloom seeds. Another important point of discussion is that without the ongoing growing of heirloom plants and storage of heirloom seeds, the seed companies and the government will control all seed distribution. Most, if not all, hybrid plants, if regrown, will not be the same as the original hybrid plant, thus ensuring the dependency on seed distributors for future crops.

Hybrid Seeds

Overview: A hybrid plant is a cross between two or more unrelated inbred plants. Hybridization has brought huge improvements, including more vigorous plants, improved disease resistance, earlier maturity, more uniform growth and increased yield. There are several different types of hybrid seeds and plants to be aware of:

F1 Hybrids Seed saved from the first cross-pollination of two unrelated open-pollinated plants is called F1 hybrid seed. (F1 stands for Familial 1.) Each of the parents contributes attributes that, when combined, produce an improved type of plant.

Hybrid Vigor A frequent characteristic of F1 hybrids is much-increased vigor. This can take the form of faster growth to maturity, larger root and top growth, and increased productivity. The gains from what is called heterosis greatly exceed the sum of what the parent plants might be expected to produce. Despite recent advances in the understanding of plant genetics, there is still no agreement among scientists about what causes heterosis.

Disease Resistance Like other living things, plants are vulnerable to a range of diseases that can cause disappointment in a home garden and huge financial losses in agriculture. One trait that is constantly sought in plant hybridization is resistance—or at least tolerance—of diseases that can affect productivity. In seed catalogs, resistance is noted in an abbreviation after the plant variety name. For example, “Arbason F1 Hybrid, FW (races 0, 1), VW, TMV” means that this tomato has resistance to fusarium wilt races 0 and 1, verticillium wilt and tomato mosaic virus.

Uniform Growth While the taste and appearance of open-pollinated and heirloom plants are highly valued, the size and growth rate of fruit and leafy= parts can vary widely. Hybridization can stabilize growth factors, so the grower can harvest much more uniform produce.

Maturity and Yield In agriculture, the ability to produce a crop early in the season has considerable marketing advantages across all planting zones. The first corn, the first tomatoes, and the first strawberries always command higher prices. Hybrids can be created to achieve this, as well as higher yield, although it is often true that this extra-early produce does not have the full taste of later varieties.

Later Generations The seed of open-pollinated or heirloom plants can be saved, and when sown will produce plants that are essentially identical to the parent plant. The seed from F1 hybrid plants, called F2 hybrids, will not produce a copy of the parent. Instead, the F2 plant will exhibit “break-up” in the form of random characteristics from either parent or possibly an even earlier trait. What this means is that F1 hybrid seed has to be created from scratch every year by laboriously hand-crossing the parent plants. This helps to explain why hybrid seed can be so expensive.

Read more: Definition of Hybrid Plants: Garden Guides.

Well, that is all the “formal” stuff. Now on to the basics. Heirloom seeds, in my opinion, and I believe most who grow them, will testify to overwhelmingly better flavor. Honestly, it’s not even just better, most of you who have eaten a grocery store tomato and then a fresh tomato know the difference. What most consumers don’t know is that those perfectly shaped tomatoes in the grocery store were picked rock hard green, packed and put in the back of a semi and then gassed to ripen on “the road.” That is why they are flavorless! Think about it … why do you think they intentionally say “Vine Ripened” on the little tomatoes on “the vine?” They have to tell you because they know the others weren’t.

Hybridization has been utilized for making veggies travel-worthy. For example, Brandywine tomatoes have extremely thin skins, therefore making them terrible “travelers.” As a market grower, I do not grow Brandywines for market because they will crack and split before they get to market, thereby making them unsellable, although I love them for my home garden and canning.

Uniformity in shape and size is also a must for grocery stores, not so for market tables. I love to put several different sized and colored heirloom tomatoes in a quart container — it is simply beautiful.

What some people also don’t realize is that there is a big difference between a hybrid and a GMO seed. This is where scientists have actually inserted a gene from another species into a vegetable. For example, putting a fish gene in a tomato … yes, they really do, and they say they have really good reasons for it. GMOs are not what I am going to get into here, though, because that is a really lengthy topic in its own right. You can do your own research, but please understand; most vegetable seeds are not GMO. GMO crops are focused on crops such as corn, soy and alfalfa.

Here are some of my personal favorite heirloom seed varieties for home gardening:

Tomatoes:

Beefsteak: Pineapple, Brandywine- all colors, Paul Robeson, Dr. Whyche’s, Hillbilly

Romas: Super Italian Paste, Plum Lemon, Roman Candle, all the Icicles, Striped Roman

Salad types: Green and Red Zebra, Woodle Orange, Rose De Berne, Stupice, White Tomesol

Cherry and grapes: Reisentraube, Violet Jasper, Blondkopchen, Red & White Current, Chocolate Cherry, Sungold, Yellow Pear

Lettuces: Rein’s De Glace, Merriville de Four Seasons, Grandpa’s, Red Oak Leaf, Jericho, Forellenschulus, Rubin’s Romaine, Butter Crunch, Lolla Rossa, May Queen, Paris Island Cos, Rouge D’Hiver

Radishes: White Icicle, Purple Plum, French Breakfast, Cherry Belle, Black Spanish, Pink Beauty

Winter Squash Varieties: Walthams Butternut, acorn, Sweet Dumpling, Delicata, spaghetti, Green or Orange Buttercup

Summer Squash: Round De Nice, Fordhook Zucchini, Prolific Straightneck, Patty Pan, Starburst

Carrots: Cosmic Purple, Lunar White, Amarillo, Atomic Red, Chantenay Red Core, Danvers Long

Cucumbers: Lemon, Marketmore 76, Boston Pickling

Eggplant: Rosa Bianca, Black Beauty, Purple Long, Thai Long

Sweet Corn: For most home gardeners, it is hard to move away from the hybrids because of the Super Sweet genes that have been introduced in them, but if you want to try an heirloom, Golden Bantam is a very good one.

Peppers: Sweet: Jimmy Nardello—my personal favorite—long, sweet frying pepper, Red & Golden Marconi, Purple Beauty, Sweet Chocolate,

Hot: Early Jalapeno, Anaheim, Hungarian Hot Wax

Peas: Mammoth Melting Sugar, Sugar Snap, Lincoln

Chard: Rainbow, Fordhook, Golden

Spinach: Bloomsdale Longstanding, New Zealand, Merlo Nero

Beets: Detroit Dark Red, Early Wonder, Chioggia, Golden Detroit, Crosby’s Egyptian, Cylindra, Bulls Blood

Beans: String: Blue Lake Bush, Contender

Wax: Golden Wax

Roma: *Roma, Dragon Tongue, Purple Podded Pole

Cabbage: Late Flat Dutch, Early Jersey Wakefield, Henderson’s Charleston Wakefield, Perfection Drumhead Savoy, Mammoth Red Rock

Broccoli: Calabrese, Waltham 29, Green Sprouting

Cauliflower: Purple of Sicily, Giant of Naples, Snowball Self Blanching

RESOURCES Here are a few of my favorite seed catalogs to order from:

• Baker Creek Heirloom Seed • Fedco Seeds • Johnny’s Selected Seeds • Seed Savers Exchange

Here are a couple recipes — enjoy!

It's just a cheap Pino Grigio but it's quite good! I'm usually more of a Shiraz or Merlo drinker but it's good to switch it up. I enjoy a beer also. There's a local one to me with a honey flavor too! Anyway, you may be right about the cherry coke/diner thing but I've definitely read at least one where she specifically drinks it. Also chicken salad sandwiches remind me of her? Probably I just read these things once and they stuck in my head. Soup also reminds me of M&S. OK I'm gonna shut up now!

I love hearing about all the things that remind you of M&S! I was just talking to @scienceandmysticism yesterday about soups that remind us of M&S.

Ya wanna talk about how Cherry met Henry?

yeah !! they met through vito, because cherry/vito/joe kind of grew up in the same neighborhood and were friends growing up. so after vito came back from war, and fell into the life, he would take henry to the diner where cherry worked, and sparks flew from there.

honestly, cherry was instantly smitten with henry's whole 'tall, brooding, stoic' act, and henry was taken by how loud and bubbly cherry was. they're definitely a good match for each other because they kind of ground each other when the scales tip :) and they both love vito very very much

16. "I can explain" ffoooooooooooorrrrr... Cherry 👀👀

50 DIALOGUE PROMPTS

mafia ii | cherry merlo & vito scaletta | 494 words

—

“I can explain.”

No, you can’t.

Cherry watches Vito’s tortured expression, watches the way he fidgets with his hands, the way his eyes flick from her to the bed where Henry lies motionless save the shallow rise and fall of his chest.

What is there to explain? Well, everything— and nothing. There are risks to the lives they lead, and Cherry has never once begrudged any of them for it, never asked more than they things they tell her; and they always tell her more than she asks.

And right now, with the silence pooling between them, she would very much like to know how the man she kissed goodbye in the morning is now looking like a steak dinner.

“I can explain,” Vito repeats, and she leans back, crossing her arms.

“What the hell happened?”

He looks at her, brow furrowed. She can hear the gears grinding in his head, feels a wave of nausea rising in her stomach when he exhales heavily.

“— listen, it’s a long story—”

“And you said you’d explain, Vittorio.”

His name is the snap of bone between her teeth. She thinks she has never been truly angry at him, and even now she knows that the anger isn’t so much anger as grief.

“A deal went south.”

“A deal— a deal went south?” Cherry laughs, wildly. “Vito, a deal going south is a bullet to the gut, not— not whatever the hell this is.”

“Cherry—”

“Don’t you Cherry me, Scaletta.” She stands, jabs at a finger at him. “What. Happened.”

Vito moves to speak when Henry murmurs something, and her attention snaps to him, nearing the bed. She can barely see him beneath the bandages, perfect white already beginning to blossom with crimson from perhaps a reopened stitch.

It is grief. Bile rises in the back of her throat, and by some grace of god, she manages to swallow just so she can speak.

“What is it, honey?”

Henry’s words are unintelligible, slurred under his breath. His eyes flutter, and she counts to ten in her head before he is quiet again, lost in whatever medicated stupor the doctors have put him in.

The two of them watch him for a moment. Cherry wants so desperately to touch him; to peel away the bandages and run her hands across his skin; to press kisses against his collarbone, and tell him it is going to be alright because it is, it is, goddamnit it is.

Tearing her gaze away from Henry, she looks back at Vito.

“If you love him as much as I do, you’ll tell me,” she says, softly.

For a moment, Vito says nothing. His gaze flicks, imperceptibly, from Henry to her, dragging down, down to the slight swell of her belly. Cherry catches it, tries to keep her expression neutral when he looks back up.

“You should sit down,” he tells her, and this time his voice is gentle. “We’ll start from the beginning.”
