In June 2017, the National Gallery of Canada opened three major exhibition offerings, including: Canadian and Indigenous Art: From Time Immemorial to 1967, Canadian and Indigenous Art: 1968 to Present, and Photography in Canada, 1960-2000. This was the first comprehensive transformation of the Gallery's national collection since it opened at its current location in 1988. We anticipated that visitors would need contextual information to help make connections between these multiple exhibition offerings. To that end, an engaging and interactive learning space was temporarily installed for the summer of 2017. Titled Our Stories, this space provided visitors with a framework to deepen their understanding of art through 8 different sections. It offered enjoyable and immersive experiences, told relevant stories, and inspired curiosity about the artworks on view.
The task was to create an orientation space that would introduce Gallery visitors, with a wide range of interests and motivations, to the history of art in Canada. It had to be engaging, interactive and responsive to multiple learning styles while helping visitors make connections between the multiple exhibition offerings on view. The experience in the learning space had to increase visitors' comfort level with being in a gallery setting, and had to prepare them to interpret art in personally meaningful ways.
The strategy was to orient visitors to art in Canada, to offer them strategies for interpreting art, and to engage them through hands-on activities. Activities prepared visitors to look at art with purpose and meaning. The content and approach were developed using visitor research that told us visitors want to know how art is made and the historical context in which artworks are produced. Interactive units were designed to respond to the needs of multiple core target audience segments.The design moved visitors through sections where they could learn how artworks in various media are made, where they could understand the regional and cultural diversity of art in Canada, and share their own creativity through digital activities before leaving to visit the main art exhibition galleries. The colour coding was brought through from the learning center to the main entrance of each of the three art exhibition galleries.
The project was initiated, researched, conceived, designed, fabricated, and installed within a few months. We had to design, oversee and implement the layout and construction of the physical exhibition space, as well as create all visual and didactic materials with limited internal resources. Due to the compressed timeline, much of the content creation, design and fabrication occurred concurrently. We had to create a visual identity with aesthetic appeal that also communicated our key messages, concept and image to visitors of all ages, while meeting the limitations imposed by space and budget.
4,750 square feet in size, Our Stories was open to the public from 14 June to 4 September 2017, and attracted 50,480 visits, representing 37% of the Gallery's visitors.

Egyptian Obelisks in Rome
by Thomas Dowson | Travel Reports, Italy Travel Tips | 0 comments
Did you know there are more ancient obelisks standing in Rome than there are in all of Egypt? And, they seem to pop up wherever you go. There are in fact 13 of them standing in prominent positions throughout the Eternal City. Some of these were made for Egyptian Pharaohs and brought to Rome by Roman Emperors, others were made for Roman Emperors. In Rome they are as striking today as they would have been in ancient Egypt and Rome.
One of the most popular attractions in Rome, the Pantheon with an ancient obelisk from Heliopolis in front on the Piazza della Rotonda.
Visiting the ancient site of the Circus Maximus in Rome you see what is for all intents and purposes a modern public park with today's Romans exercising, running and walking their dogs. There are towards the eastern end remains of what was the rounded seating built during the reign of Trajan (98 – 117 AD). But the rest is a relatively recent landscaped impression of what the circus would have looked like in ancient times. This landscaped reconstruction was created following the removal of industrial buildings in the 1930s. Today grassy banks are a stand-in for the the tiered seating that overlook a sandy track and a grassy spina.
Rome's circus maximus, or chariot-racing stadium. The earliest chariot races took place very early in the Republican era. Today it is a public park – with a lone tree standing roughly where an obelisk from Egypt once stood.
Except for a lone tree, today's spina is bare. What remains of the original is some nine metres below ground level. We know from representations of this feature, the central area around which the racetrack would have turned, that it was ornamented. In 1587 the spina was dug up under orders from Pope Sixtus V. Two ancient Egyptian Obelisks were found, the first being what is now known of as the Lateranense Obelisk, and the second the Flaminian Obelisk. Both were then removed from the circus, repaired and erected elsewhere in Rome, the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano and the Piazza del Popolo respectively, where they have remained ever since.
The obelisk in the centre of the Piazza del Popolo, known as the Flaminian Obelisk, was brought to Rome by Augustus to mark the anniversary of the conquest of Egypt. In Rome it was erected at the eastern end of the spina at the circus maximus. In Egypt it stood at Heliopolis having been set up by Seti I in about 1300 BCE.
There are more obelisks in Rome than anywhere else in the World, eight ancient Egyptian examples, five Roman and a number of modern ones. The largest standing Egyptian obelisk, known as the Lateranense Obelisk, is standing in Rome – in the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterano.
Strictly speaking, an obelisk is a tall, four-sided, tapering monument that ends at the top with a pyramid. They were carved from a single piece of stone, whereas modern ones tend to be made from several stones and are often hollow. Although the oldest known obelisk is Egyptian, the word itself is of Greek origin, as it was the Greek traveller Herodotus who first described them.
Once a pair of obelisks stood at the entrance to the Luxor Temple in Egypt. Today only one remains, the other is on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
The ancient Egyptians made a number of obelisks, mostly they were placed in pairs at the entrances to temples. But more than half of those surviving are now scattered all over the world. The Temple of Luxor in Luxor, Egypt, has one remaining obelisk in front of its pylon.
The other of this pair, the so-called Luxor Obelisk, is now a well known attraction on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. The two obelisks were offered to France as a gift in 1829, but only one made the journey to Paris where it was erected on 25 October 1836. The other remained in Luxor and the gift was officially renounced in the 1990s by France's President François Mitterrand.
The first obelisk to be taken from Egypt, the Flaminian Obelisk, was in fact one that ended up on the Circus Maximus. Following Augustus's defeat of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony he took from a temple in Heliopolis a granite obelisk created in about 1280 BC under Ramses II. Augustus had it erected on the spina towards the eastern end of the circus.
During battles between the Byzantines and the Goths for the control of Rome in the sixth century, the obelisk fell amongst the rubble and remained buried until 1587, when it was excavated, repaired and moved to its present location in the Piazza del Popolo.
The only obelisk to have remained standing since Roman times is the Vatican Obelisk on St Peter's Square in the Vatican.
In front of the beautiful Baroque church of Sant'Agnese in Agone stands the Navona Obelisk. Although it is made of granite from Egypt, the hieroglyphs were in fact added by Roman stonecutters – and offer a hymn to Emperor Domitian.
Of the Egyptian obelisks in Rome, my favourite has to be the Minerveo Obelisk just behind the Pantheon on the Piazza della Minerva. Not only is the Egyptian object itself of interest, but it is also the obelisk's story in Rome that adds to its character. The Minerveo was one of two obelisks brought from the small ancient Egyptian town of Sais by Emperor Diocletian to be placed in the Temple of Isis.
Much later when the foundations of the temple were discovered they were misidentified as being those of a temple dedicated to the Greek god Minerva. For this reason the basilica was named the Basilica of Saint Mary Above Minerva. And so when in 1655 the obelisk was found in the same temple it was understandably given the Greek god's name. Perhaps it is not that unusual that the temple was thought to have a Greek connection not an Egyptian one.
Pope Alexander VII then commissioned the famous marble sculptor Bernini to create the pedestal and the Minerveo Obelisk was erected in the piazza in 1667.
The Minerveo Obelisk in the Piazza della Minerva, the elephant, sculpted by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini is the obelisk's pedestal giving the impression the animal is carrying the object. You can see the base of the red granite obelisk on the elephant's back.
Every now and then there are murmurings that these obelisks should be returned to their native lands. And indeed some are repatriated. The 1,700 year old Obelisk of Axum from Ethiopia, for example, stood on the Piazza di Porta Capena in Rome from 1937 until April 2005 when it was returned to Ethiopia.
The rights and wrongs of whether the Egyptian obelisks should remain in cities around the world aside, they are where they are today as a result of complex and interesting social and political relations, and are as much a part of the heritage of those cities as any other archaeological site. In a very physical way the obelisks are a testimony to these relations, and visiting Rome today one can not fully understand the many Roman monuments without appreciating that they were possible as a result of a vast Empire, that included Egypt.
The Sallustiano Obelisk at the top of the very popular Spanish Steps is a 3rd century Roman copy of the the Flaminian Obelisk on the Piazza del Popolo.

Having visited over 100 countries on six of the seven continents I am often surprised by the limited information available for archaeological sites in many travel guides. Often made worse by misleading and/or out-dated details posted on websites and internet forums. With my passion for travel and professional background in archaeology, I started Archaeology Travel. Here I share my experiences of seeing truly spectacular places, as well as offering my tips and recommendations.

Q: Trying to do a short circuit && as well as assigning error to a String? I am incredibly new to Java and this is actually my first project. I've been googling and reading and trial and error-ing things for days and I am still stuck on two things.
I'm sure they're incredibly easy questions and I feel dumb for asking, but I'm getting frustrated!
1) I need to do a conditional statement that is joined by a short circuit && that will result in any input under 0 and over 100 being an error. However I don't see how this is possible since a number can't be less than 100 AND over 100. Am I missing something?
2) I'm not sure what I have to do to be able to assign a String variable the value of 'error'. I feel like this should be super easy but I can't get it...I just know I can't have it be a print statement.
Thank you so much for any input/advice, I really appreciate it!
    import java.util.Scanner;

public class Project {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        char letter;

        Scanner input =  new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.print("Please input your score.");
                int score = input.nextInt();

if (score >= 90)
{
  System.out.println("You have earned the letter grade: A");
}// end if for age >=90
else if (score >= 80)
{
  System.out.println("You have earned the letter grade: B");
} // end else if for >=80
else
{
  if (score >= 70)
  {
    System.out.println("You have earned the letter grade: C");
  }// end if for age >=70
  else
  {
    if (score >= 60)
    {
      System.out.println("You have earned the letter grade: D");
    }// end if for >=60
  else
  {
    System.out.println("You have earned the letter grade: F");
  }
}
}
}
}

A: 1) You have to use the correct operator ||.
if (score < 0 || score > 100) { ... }

2) In Java single quotes '' are used for chars and double quotes "" are used for Strings.
String s = "error";

PINAC Returns to WP on 14th Anniversary with Plans to Produce Podcast Show on Police Culture and Abuse
Close up photo of afro american hand hold banner stop police brutality, show fuck symbol ignore haters fight rights isolated over black color background
Last Thursday marked 14 years since I launched Photography is Not a Crime as a one-man blog on WordPress after having been beaten and arrested two months earlier by Miami police for photographing them against their wishes in a story I've told countless times over the years.
Today marks PINAC's return to WordPress after a three-year stint on the Maven, a publishing company that was paying us a percentage of ad revenue from our stories each month until late last year when they replaced the PINAC-friendly CEO with one not too fond of PINAC. They then restructured our contract, blaming it on COVID, and as a result, we have not received a single payment since December despite the fact they continued running ads in our stories.
It was a minor setback for a site that has experienced multiple setbacks over the years only to remain resilient and relevant while dozens of other news sites have come and gone or sunken into obscurity. But the lesson here is that PINAC needs to remain as independent as possible in order to survive another 14 years which is why I am happy to be back on WordPress and look forward to keeping the site updated with the latest stories and videos.
Part of the plan is to launch a weekly podcast show highlighting the most important stories of the week as well as featuring guests, including victims of police abuse, attorneys, activists and anybody else relevant to the issue of criminal justice reform, including cops, judges and prosecutors if they are brave enough to come on the show.
The podcast will also help us build the national database of bad cops we announced in January by teaching listeners how to obtain Brady list public records from their local prosecutors office. These are lists that contain the names of cops with integrity issues, cops who lie and abuse and destroy innocent lives, an idea we have been discussing for years but never made an attempt to implement until now.
We will also pay tribute to the "Worst Cop of the Week" since cops place so much value in their participation awards, dedicating a special page for them on the site with their photos to ensure they receive the recognition they deserve.
I will host the podcast show from my bedroom closet which I am converting into a soundproof studio to ensure professional quality audio and not piss off my neighbors with my rantings about cops as I live in a condo with thin walls so it may take a few weeks before I launch it.
But I have several people lined up who have agreed to be interviewed, including a man who spent years in prison based on the lying testimony of a Brady list cop who was protected by prosecutors. There are many more like him who will be interviewed as the show progresses. We will open people's eyes to the truth.
The goal it to focus more on education rather than just information because the country is finally accepting the fact we have a serious issue with police abuse so we need to figure out what to do about it. Newly elected President Joe Biden is promising criminal justice reform but we must never trust politicians in these matters because deep down they are afraid of the cops and will bow down to their manipulative intimidation tactics as they have done throughout history.
The only reason Biden is even talking about this issue is because a 17-year-old girl named Darnella Frazier knew her rights and was not afraid to exercise them when she recorded Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin planting a knee on George Floyd's neck for almost ten minutes on March 25, 2020, igniting what was already a growing movement against police abuse in this country.
And the only reason Frazier knew her rights was because of sites like PINAC and the ones that followed that educated people on their right to record at a time when the government was trying to deny us those rights. Many of us fought hard for those rights and it paid off even though people are still getting arrested for recording, just not as often as before.
Now we need to take it a step further and teach citizens how to obtain public records from the local government agencies, especially those records they tend to keep secret like the Brady list because these are the criminal cops that give all cops a bad name. The ACLU describes these cops as having "histories of falsifying reports, fabricating or tampering with evidence, lying on the witness stand, coercing witnesses, brutalizing people, accruing misconduct lawsuits or complaints, blatant racism, and more."
The origin of PINAC
It was a much different world when I launched PINAC on April 28, 2007 because the country was still enamored with police under the "9/11 changed everything" spell which enabled cops to harass and threaten photographers for taking photos in public while receiving heroic praise from a clueless public for keeping them safe from potential terrorists with professional-looking cameras.
I was a 38-year-old journalist who had spent much of the prior decade covering the cop beat for various newspapers in New Mexico, California and Arizona, so I had a much more cynical view of police, having had my share of run-ins and clashes with cops for taking photos and asking hard questions or for just reporting the truth based on public records.
As a wordsmith with an attitude, I was not afraid to stand up to them, especially when the truth was on my side, but they considered me an asshole and would complain to my editors who would then tell me I have to write more positive stories to balance all the negative stories which were accurate just not "fair" in the eyes of police.
PINAC became an unfiltered adaptation of the newspaper cop beat I had worked for years but at the national instead of the local level, no longer watered down by cop-adoring editors to maintain the institutional line of bullshit. I had my share of haters in the beginning, many of them cops, as well as doubters. But the doubters turned into believers and the cops rarely comment anymore because their intimidation tactics fail on the internet.
And the corporate media that used to criticize PINAC for not being "objective" are now reporting on these stories with much more honesty than before when they would resort to the tired-old cliche of a "few bad apples" which is a lie produced by the Police PR Spin Machine but regurgitated by the media to maintain access to public information under the pretense of objectivity.
The truth it, it is the culture of policing that is corrupt and broken and needs to be changed because it is an institution that preys on the poor and powerless. A profession that attracts narcissists, bullies, control freaks, rapists and GI Joe Wannabes in addition to genuine people who want to do good for the community but it is the former who get promoted while the latter either quit or become apathetic.
A system that is more about controlling the public than about public safety that produces paranoid, violent officers with zero emotional intelligence who have been manipulated to believe they are heroes and trained to believe every citizen is a possible enemy combatant out to kill them whether it be with a phone, comb or remote control which are all possible weapons in the eyes of cops and have led to innocent people getting killed.
The culture of corruption extends to the prosecutors and judges who many times are in systemic cahoots with the cops in supporting their false narrative over actual evidence as I discovered after my arrest for taking photos on February 20, 2007.
The cops claimed I had been standing in the middle of a busy street taking photos while blocking traffic so they were only looking out for my "safety." But my photos showed they were on the ones standing in the street and I was standing on the sidewalk. They ended up bashing my head into that sidewalk and charging me with nine fabricated misdemeanors, figuring that would teach me to never photograph cops again but it just made me more defiant.
I did not know it at the time but the judge was a former police union attorney and the prosecutor was the son of a local police chief so they were both appalled that I would write negatively about cops on a blog. It just wasn't being done at the time.
On the day of my trial on June 16, 2008, the prosecutor had printed out more than a year's worth of stories I had written on PINAC which he claim proved I was biased against the cops and therefore should be convicted, telling the jury I got myself purposely arrested for the sole purpose of launching a blog.
He was especially fixated on an article I wrote about a week after launching the blog, comparing the LAPD to nazis after they were caught on video beating journalists and children while dressed in indistinguishable riot gear. The jury acquitted me of most of the charges but convicted me of resisting arrest which is Florida's contempt of cop law. One juror told the bailiff they did not like my attitude.
But I appealed and had the conviction reversed because I was able to prove the judge not only allowed improper evidence against me in trial, mainly the contents of my blog which were written after I had been arrested and therefore irrelevant to my actions before my arrest, but he also issued me a harsher sentence than recommended by the prosecutor because I did not show "remorse" to the cops for photographing them. I still ended up serving a year probation, attending anger management classes and doing community hours.
I was arrested an additional three more times for taking photos over the next seven years and the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office insisted on taking each case to trial, believing they had enough evidence to prove my guilt or at least get me to agree to a plea deal, only to fail each time. Suckers.
The same Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office refused to indict a South Florida cop on rape charges despite multiple women filing complaints against him, claiming it did not have enough evidence to persuade a jury to convict the cop. It was only when the FBI stepped in and arrested Hialeah police officer Jesus "Jesse" Menocal that he was stripped of his badge and is now facing life in prison.
So it's time to start holding the prosecutors accountable as well as the cops because they are a big part of the problem which we plan to do with our Brady list project.

This is a lifestyle portrait that I took of newborn twins in Mount Lebanon, Pittsburgh. If possible, I encourage clients to schedule photos while their little one's are still infants. Over time I have found the best time for this is within two weeks of the date of birth. However, we understand that babies, especially twin babies, don't always go to plan. If your baby needs some time in the NICU before going home, it's perfectly fine to schedule a session when they go home. We will still capture the most beautiful newborn portrait shots of you little ones! Just keep us in the loop and we will schedule at the perfect time.
Typically newborn babies will snooze through most of the session and we can get some really beautiful and expressive, natural photos of your newborn. If possible, I usually encourage clients to have newborn sessions in their home, but my studio offers amenities that aren't available in most homes. For example, the studio is equipped with a professional and refined lighting setup. This controlled environment will help us get the best possible pictures of your newborn.

The funeral of Wallis, Duchess of Windsor (born Bessie Wallis Warfield, later Simpson), took place on April 29, 1986. Wallis was the widow of Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, who had been King of the United Kingdom from January 20 to December 11, 1936, reigning as Edward VIII before his abdication to marry Wallis, a divorcée. She was living in Paris at the time of her death. Her funeral took place at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle and she was buried next to her husband at the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore.

Background
At the time of her husband's death in 1972, Wallis was suffering from mental confusion due to arteriosclerosis. She became increasingly frail and eventually suffered from dementia, living the final years of her life as a recluse, supported by both her husband's estate and an allowance from Queen Elizabeth II. She suffered several falls and broke her hip twice. She also suffered a series of strokes. By 1980, her speech had become fully impaired and she lost her ability to speak. A severe case of arthritis resulted in her fingers becoming so malformed that they could no longer hold her wedding ring. Records were also played for her in her bedroom to reduce the effects of dementia on her memory. Towards the end, she was confined to bed and did not receive any visitors, apart from her doctor and nurses.

Wallis died on April 24, 1986, at 4 route du Champ d'Entraînement in Paris, about two months short of her 90th birthday. Commenting on her final years and suffering, her friend Diana, Lady Mosley said "It wasn't really a life at all. I'm delighted to hear she has died. I wish she'd died many years ago." On April 27, her remains were flown from Paris by an aircraft of the Queen's Flight to RAF Benson and then escorted by a seven-car cortège. Flags flew at half-mast on government buildings and floral tributes were sent from around the world. A period of mourning was observed from April 25 to April 29, the day of her funeral.

Funeral and burial
A private funeral service was held on April 29 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. 175 mourners were present for the ceremony, including members of the British royal family, and members of Wallis's household such as her butler and chauffeur. Her polished English oak coffin had a single wreath from the Queen on top, which consisted of a spray of white, orange and yellow lilies picked at Windsor Castle. The silver plaque on her casket read "Wallis, Duchess of Windsor 1896-1986" without the HRH prefix. The prefix does not appear on her gravestone either. Eight Welsh Guards served as pallbearers during the ceremony. The service lasted 28 minutes and was conducted by the Dean of Windsor. Per Wallis's wishes there was no funeral address during the ceremony. The ceremony also featured no eulogies and no direct references were made to the Duchess. Only once in a prayer the Canon of Westminster made a reference to her as "Our sister".

Accompanying the Queen were the Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, and other members of the royal family. Other attendees were Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis Thatcher, Leader of the Opposition Neil Kinnock, U.S. Ambassador Charles H. Price II, Lady Alexandra Metcalfe, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, and Diana, Lady Mosley. Those absent from the service included Princess Margaret, as well as Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, whom the palace said barely knew Wallis. After the funeral, her coffin was taken out of the chapel as Edward Elgar's "Nimrod" played. A hearse took the coffin via private roads for the burial.

The burial was attended by only 15 people, including the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Dowager Countess of Dudley, two royal household aides, the Dean of Windsor, and seven members of Wallis's personal household. The Queen Mother was not present at the gravesite on the advice of the Queen. Wallis was buried at the Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore, next to her husband. The Princess of Wales said afterwards that it was the only time she had seen the Queen weep. The media reported that per Wallis's wishes a series of her love letters to Edward would be published after her death. On April 28, the Mail serialized them in a special pullout supplement.

Most of Wallis's estate, valued at £5 million, went to the Pasteur Institute medical research foundation, as a tribute to France where she was provided with a home. The royal family received no major bequests. Her Paris mansion and some of her other possessions were later bought by Mohamed Al-Fayed.

George Siemon, the chief executive officer of Organic Valley, likes words. The origin of "change," he told Fast Company magazine, comes from the word for "kind of crooked." It's an apt word to describe the dairy products company. Change doesn't happen in a straight line.
Organic Valley's headquarters is in La Farge, Wis., which sits in the Kickapoo River valley. Coincidentally, "Kickapoo" is a Native American word meaning to go here and there, or crooked.
The evolution of Organic Valley has followed a crooked path since its founding in 1988. A self-described lifelong naturalist, Siemon was one of seven Wisconsin farmers who formed a cooperative, which became known as the Cooperative Regions Of Organic Producer Pools, or CROPP, the owner of the Organic Valley brand. The members pledged to farm without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, pesticides or genetically modified organisms, and to pasture their animals. While they believed in sustainable agriculture, they were also seeking a way to save the small family farmer by paying a guaranteed price for their produce. A cooperative of organic farmers seemed to be the way to achieve that goal.
CROPP's first products were organically grown produce and meats, and it sells those items today. The first dairy product it made was cheese. Organic Valley has grown into a national marketer of organic milk, butter, yogurt, cream cheese, cottage cheese and soy beverages. Dairy is so dominant that it accounts for most of the co-op's estimated $630 million sales this year.
Despite a tough national economy, the company has grown its retail sales of dairy products, private-label products and exports. It launched new products and new marketing campaigns. The company has worked tirelessly to save the family farmer and to preserve rural communities.
For these reasons, Organic Valley is Dairy Foods' Processor of the Year for 2010.
CROPP is independent and farmer-owned, with 1,624 farmers in 34 states and four Canadian provinces. It is the largest cooperative of organic farmers in the United States and ranks 46th on Dairy Foods' Dairy 100 list of largest processors.
Heading Organic Valley is Siemon, who also carries the whimsical title of "C-E-I-E-I-O." (Everything at Organic Valley is carefully crafted to reinforce the company's ties to farmers.) Siemon speaks thoughtfully and deliberately of words related to organics: organ, organism, organization. CROPP itself is an organ in a larger organization. Farmers take care of the earth through sound agricultural practices. The cooperative takes care of farmers by providing stable pricing. The products are sold to consumers seeking foods grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Milk is the company's core product, with more than 90 SKUs of full-fat to fat-free dairy beverages, including omega-3, flavored, lactose-free, shelf-stable, non-homogenized, buttermilk, eggnog, cream and half-and-half.
New products this year are omega-3 milks with DHA, EPA and ALA. The whole milk and reduced-fat (2%) SKUs are sold as ultra-pasteurized in half-gallons and pasteurized in gallons. An 8-ounce serving contains 50 milligrams of EPA and DHA combined. The omega-3s are from sustainably harvested fish. The company says a glass features more supplemented omega-3s per serving than any other organic milk on the market.
That milk line is growing like "gangbusters," says Eric C. Snowdeal III, the associate product manager for white milk and cream. Consumers like the health, nutrition and convenience found in the omega-3 milks, he says.
The other successful launch this year is a drinkable and pourable probiotic-cultured yogurt. The low-fat yogurt (in plain, vanilla and berry flavors) is sold in 32-ounce bottles. The company promotes the product for use on cereal, blending into smoothies, dips, marinades and dressings - or drinking straight from the bottle. The vanilla and berry yogurts are sweetened with organic agave nectar. Organic Valley promotes the sweetener's low-glycemic index (17, compared to 65 for cane sugar).
In January 2011, Organic Valley will launch flavored, dairy-based half-and-half in vanilla and hazelnut flavors. The company also is developing organic soy-based nondairy creamers.
Organic Valley has found success with diversity, says Eric Newman, vice president of sales. That refers not only to its product offerings, but also to its channels of distribution. Of the estimated $630 million in sales this year, private-label business accounts for roughly $100 million. The ingredients division is a $50 million business. Organic Logistics, a wholly owned subsidiary for warehousing and transporting organic and natural foods, has annual sales of about $5 million.
Managing the private-label business is a bit of a balancing act because Organic Valley does not want to see its own brand suffer from store-brand sales of organic products.
"We churn more organic butter than anyone," Newman says, adding that its branded sales of the product equal its private-label butter sales.
Exports are growing. Organic Valley does business in roughly 12 Asian countries. Mexico was a strong market until the country slapped tariffs on U.S. cheese imports this year in a Nafta-related dispute.
Newman said he wants to grow export sales of milk in asecptic packaging, and his eyes widen as he discusses the potential in China. Although Organic Valley has a program for foodservice operators, the institutional market is underdeveloped, Newman acknowledges.
Organic Valley is not in the ice cream business, and for now the company is sitting on the sidelines. In the ice cream category, "luxury" and "indulgence" are more important aspects than "organic," as consumers stick with their favorite brands, Newman says. He adds that no national brand has been successful in marketing organic ice cream.


Time. Do you have the time to do it? If not, are you willing and able to switch your schedule and lifestyle around in order to make the time to do it? While it is true that you can drastically reduce instruction time when you homeschool (as opposed to putting your child into a classroom setting), it is also important to remember that in addition to having time to instruct, you will also need to put ample time into researching for lessons, planning projects, etc.
Patience. Not everyone has the right personality for homeschooling. It takes a lot of patience to teach, learn the things that you need to teach, and help a child form associations with new content. Additionally, it's not unusual for children to misbehave more in front of their parents than they might in front of a teacher at school, so you may also need plenty of patience for dealing with a child who simply is not interested in learning something you must teach.
Knowledge and skill. Teachers go to school for years to learn how to perform in their positions. Unless you have a degree in education or comparable experience, you might not be equipped with the knowledge and skill necessary to teach children. However, if you are a natural at teaching and you have a firm understanding of what it takes to teach, then you may make a great homeschool teacher.
Socialization. This is a common concern for people considering homeschooling, and there is a lot of debate over whether or not homeschooled children can be properly and amply socialized. There is no right answer, as it really comes down to what socialization opportunities you are willing and able to provide for your children. School isn't necessary for socialization, but social experiences are. Fortunately, there are ways to provide those experiences without sending your children to school, including clubs (Girl Scouts and Kiwanis, for example), community sports teams, lessons (music, dance, art, etc.), religious affiliations, and play groups.
As you can see, the decision to homeschool is a complex one, and you much approach it from many different angles. Consider all of these factors to determine if you and your child would be best served by the homeschooling experience.

Advance Gold to Drill Below High-Grade Gold Vein with 1.70m of 9.46 g/t Au at Tabasquena, Mexico
Kamloops, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 11, 2021) - Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) ("Advance Gold" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on ongoing drilling at its 100% owned Tabasquena project in Zacatecas, Mexico. At the company's flagship property it is investigating a 3500m long continuous high chargeability Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly. Additionally, within a 2000m long by 400m wide corridor, where a swarm of epithermal veins has been discovered, the follow-up drilling starting today will test below one or more of these veins where high-grade gold was previously intersected.
Regionally the Tabasqueña project is located in the heart of the world's most prolific silver belt which extends for hundreds of kilometres. It begins in the famous silver district of Pachuca, continues NW through Guanajuato, then through Real de Ángeles, Asientos, El Coronel, Milagros, Zacatecas, Fresnillo, Sombrerete, San Martín and continues to the NW through the states of Durango and Chihuahua. Within close proximity of Tabasquena, 25% of the silver ever produced in Mexico, and around 10% of all silver ever produced worldwide, has been mined since the 16th century. Locally, the Tabasqueña veins are hosted in the rocks of the Chilitos Formation, which is part of a volcanic sedimentary sequence Cretaceous aged, made up of andesites interbedded with horizons of greywacke, shales and limestone lenses, which are the same host rocks of the economic mineralization in Guanajuato, El Coronel, Zacatecas and Fresnillo among other famous world class silver deposits in central Mexico.
Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: "Hole AGT-23 is now underway, it has been designed to go underneath the hole where we hit high-grade gold and cut across from west to east the entire corridor of epithermal veins. Initially, it will cut across a key fault which we believe could be the conduit that is the source of the gold and silver mineralization in the corridor of veins. Being surrounded by significant silver mines, it is safe to say we are in elephant country for big precious metals mines and we are excited to drill deeper into our network of epithermal veins."

A common frustration faced today by oil drilling professionals is the lost productivity and high maintenance costs attributed to electrical harmonics. A highly reliable and high quality power supply infrastructure is of vital importance to the success of oil and gas drilling operations. Proper grounding of electrical circuits, in conjunction with current harmonic minimizing techniques, can significantly reduce the costs associated with downtime and equipment failure caused by electrical harmonics.
Electrical harmonics are typically the result of non-linear loads on the power system. On oil drilling rigs, the bulk of the loads are non-linear in nature. These include top drives, mud pumps, centrifuges, etc. Additionally, the increase in variable frequency drive (VFD) use is becoming a major source for electrical harmonics.
High levels of electrical harmonic distortion can cause a multitude of problems, including transformer, motor or generator overheating, malfunction of electronic control equipment, interference with telephone circuits, etc. All of these compromise the efficiency of the operation.
Less intuitive is the fact that electrical disturbances on the power system can also result in catastrophic mechanical failure, specifically with regard to induced shaft voltages and bearing currents. Shaft voltage seeks a complete circuit through its bearings to ground, or through its outboard bearing and the connected machinery. Unless prevented from reaching high levels it can cause chemical changes in the insulating grease, breaking it down and thereby making the grease act like an electrolytic in a capacitor. Initially, this results in pitting within the raceways of the bearing. Over time, this leads to fluting and eventually complete bearing failure. Shaft voltage is a common phenomenon in all motors, but left unchecked and/or uncontrolled it can wreak havoc on operations.
Another phenomenon with VFDs is something called voltage reflection. Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) let adjustable-speed drives turn voltage on and off 18,000 to 20,000 times a second. To do this means the voltage rise time is short, usually less than a microsecond. These short rise times combined with long power lines between the drive and controller can produce voltage reflections, also called reflected waves that have high peak voltages. If the voltages are large enough, they will generate potentially destructive stresses in the motor insulation. This phenomenon is not widespread, but users should be aware of it nonetheless.
While there are various methods to combat harmonic distortions within a system, the fundamental importance of proper grounding should not be overlooked. One of the largest potential causes of motor bearing damage due to bearing currents is inadequate grounding. The challenge is to provide a low impedance ground path for the voltage to flow to earth ground without passing through the motor bearings or other components. This can be accomplished by using insulated bearing and/or installing shaft grounding devices. Utilizing shielded cables between VFDs and motors is also beneficial.
Leviton is a leading provider of high-amperage electrical connectors used throughout the drilling rig site. Our Rhino-Hide® single pole connectors and panel receptacles are commonly used to connect top drives, mud pumps, etc. to the SCR house. In order to improve the integrity of the grounding system, we have also developed a patented ground pin that doubles as a mounting bolt for panel receptacles. This provides a convenient ground connection for the shielded cables used in this application. It also eliminates the need for separate ground lugs on the panel boards, where space is at a premium.
In addition to mitigating negative effects of electrical harmonics, let's also remember that proper grounding of electrical circuits can provide invaluable protection against unwanted electrical noise such as spikes, surges, dips, and other known causes of circuit failure.

Q: Django easy-thumbnails vs sorl-thumbnail differences I've been reading about and trying various thumbnailing apps for Django. These are the requirements:

*

*All generated thumbnails must be saved in a S3 bucket separate from the original images, i.e. separate storage class

*When the image instance is deleted, the original image file along with all generated thumbnails must be delete as well

*Minimize expensive inefficiencies, ex. Fetching the url of a thumbnail to serialize in DRF shouldn't look in S3 bucket to see if it exists every time, etc.
VersatileImageField fails the first requirement. ImageKit fails the second requirement. The third requirement is where I'm most confused; I'm trying to inform myself on best practices but the information is fragmented and I'm not confident in making a decision based on what I've learned so far.
From what I've read, my impression is that the most efficient behavior would be as follows:

*

*generate the thumbnail immediately upon save and assume it always exists

*to access thumbnail, generate the URL based on the original image's filename and thumbnail dimensions/quality, since we know it definitely exists

*post_delete will delete all thumbnails and original file

I'd be most interested in learning about the differences in the approaches that easy-thumbnails and sorl-thumbnail take (if they align with the process I very briefly outlined above or if they have something even more efficient), and the advantages/disadvantages in each of their methodologies.

A: I hope this may help you
in the model, there are two fields image and thumbnail, in view make validation image type and size after that generate thumbnail using Pill
from PIL import Image as Img
from io import BytesIO

def create(self,request):
    mutable = request.POST._mutable
    request.POST._mutable = True

    for value in request.FILES.items():
        im = Img.open(value[1])
        im.thumbnail((425, 236), Img.ANTIALIAS)
        buffer = BytesIO()
        im.save(fp=buffer, format='JPEG')

        requset.POST['thumbnail'] = ContentFile(buffer.getvalue(), thumnail_name)

     request.POST._mutable = mutable

to save images in folder and thumbnails anther folder you can use different path with upload_to in ImageField

A: I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I've used easy-thumbnails in the past and I'm fairly sure that it does all of the things that you're asking for if you configure it a bit. Configuring it with the save function is a bit tricky, as the save function doesn't care to be configured, but it's not impossible. The main thing that can cause problems is that you have to use 'save and continue editing' to access and use the thumbnail option. It won't be visible until you do so if you haven't created it already since it's created on save.
def save()
    found_id = self.id
        super(Team, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
        if self.image and found_id is None and self.original_image_width and self.original_image_height:
            self.image = get_thumbnailer(self.image).get_thumbnail({
                'size': (self.original_image_width, self.original_image_height)
            }).name
        super(Team, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Event Description : ART EXHIBITION "The Needle Reverence" A story stitched by the thrift of Bengali women
An exhibition of Kanthas from the late 19th century till pre-independence; and contemporary Kantha created in the 1990s initiated by the renowned sculptor, the late Meera Mukherjee
" It is a world class collection of both traditional and contemporary kantha ", as stated by renowned textile historian. For the first time we are exhibiting an extensive collection for the art and textile lovers of Delhi. Normally one can find a collection like this only in museums. Some of the traditional kanthas have been collected over many years and are part of Siddharth Tagore's textile collection . The range of works are from pre-partition East Bengal and West Bengal. We are also showcasing some innovative cotemporary kanthas , which have been inspired by Meera Mukherjee's work. Meera Mukherjee a famous Indian sculptor and writer known for bringing modernity to the ancient Bengali arts.
Amongst the traditional arts, Kantha perhaps is one of the oldest forms of Indian embroidery as it can be traced back to the thevedic ages. It is an ancient Indian hand embroidery of precision and beauty which originated in Bengal. Kantha means 'rags' in Sanskrit – emulating the fact that the embroidery is made up of re-cycling discarded and worthless old cloths into a graceful wholeness.. It is a significant symbol that displays the skill and talent of rural women in Bengal and present day Bangladesh. The most functional kantha is also ingenious , imaginative and spontaneous in its essence . A creation that started out as a way to make life more comfortable. Overtime a more detailed and elaborate kantha tradition developed . Most kantha was made by naive rural women who would stitch stories into the quilts ( kantha – literally translates to quilts in Bengali)
Kantha's eternal beauty is in its symbol of socio –economic emancipation. Kantha is old but its appeal is new , keeping the magic of the thread work alive today .
From the collection of Siddhartha Tagore and Mahesh Naithani; Meera Mukherjee's kanthas from the collection of Dolly Narang
Organised to honour the memory of Smt Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay
Collaboration: MATI – Management of Art Treasures of India; with the support of Art Konsult; The Village Gallery; and Art & Deal Magazine
