# Tabarchino

Tabarchino is a dialect of the Ligurian language spoken in Sardinia.
Tabarchino is spoken in the communities of Carloforte on San Pietro Island and Calasetta on Sant'Antioco Island, which are located in the Archipelago of Sulcis in the Province of South Sardinia.
Tabarchino enjoys regional recognition through the laws on the promotion of the Sardinian language and culture (l.r. N.26/97, l.r. N.22/18).
Carloforte Tabarchino retains very few archaisms and is very close to modern Genoese; on the other hand, Calasetta Tabarchino has many more archaisms and is very close to 17th century Ligurian, and its lexicon is also more Sardinian-influenced. The two dialects share words of Tunisian Arabic and French derivation.
# TC's Trikes Coyote

The TC's Trikes Coyote is an American ultralight trike that was designed by TC Blyth and produced by TC's Trikes of Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. Originally known as the TC Trike, with the introduction of strut-braced Mustang wing the model became known as the Coyote.

## Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg). The aircraft has a standard empty weight of 250 lb (113 kg). Early models feature a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat or two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. Later Coyote models use the strut-braced North Wing Mustang wing made by North Wing Design.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together 6061-T6 aluminum and welded 4130 steel tubing, with its original TC Trikes Super D-16 single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The 172 sq ft (16.0 m$^2$) area wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar.
The standard engine supplied was the 40 hp (30 kW) twin cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled Rotax 447, with the 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 optional. The standard single seat can be replaced with a tandem seat for two occupants.

# Taconic Correctional Facility

Taconic Correctional Facility is a medium/minimum security women's prison in Bedford, New York operated by the New York State DOCCS.

## Location

Taconic is located in Westchester County, approximately fifty miles north of New York City. It lies across the street from the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a New York State maximum security women's prison. Despite having a Bedford Hills postal address, the prison lies just outside of the Bedford Hills census-designated place. Compared to most New York State prisons, Taconic and Bedford Hills are relatively accessible by public transportation: Metro North Railroad's Harlem line has station stops about 1.5 miles away, and the Westchester County bus system serves the area.

## Incarcerated population

Taconic is a designated women's prison with about 170 people incarcerated in 2021, ranging from 20 to 74 years old. Despite the designation as a women's prison, there are also nonbinary people and transgender men incarcerated there. The population of 170 represents a steep decline from 2019, when there were almost twice as many as the present number, at a count of 315. As of 2021, there were more staff at Taconic than people incarcerated New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, with at least 218 staff members in 2021. This is highly unusual nationwide; New York State's ratio of prison guards to incarcerated people was highest among all fifty states in 2010.

## History

The facility opened in 1901 as the New York State Reformatory for Women for those ages 15 to 30. Its first director was Katherine Bement Davis, a progressive politician, prison reformer, and the first woman to earn a PhD in Economics/Political Science at the University of Chicago.
The Department of Corrections took over the administration of the reformatory in 1926, and in 1933 it was merged it with the newly opened Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women. For the next four decades, the reformatory operated as part of Bedford Hills, still the state's only maximum-security prison for females.
In 1973, Taconic began operations as an autonomous medium-security prison. During 1971 and 1972, Bedford Hills was a correctional facility with separate male and female units. In 1973 the male inmates were transferred before the unit closed in June; the unit reopened in December as the Taconic Correctional Facility.
A cemetery on the prison's grounds has been in use since the 1920s, with about 100 graves, most of them infants and women who died at the facility. The graveyard has marked areas for Christian, Jewish and Muslim decedents. The most recent burials, in the 2010s, were for men who died while incarcerated at prisons where the graveyards had no more space for burials.
