![]() A union’s meaning lies in its capacity to turn around personal frustration beyond the individual to a larger commitment to the collective good. Their hands slew the steers and linked sausages stretching to infinity. ![]() The story of this union is visceral, written by the men and women of humid gut shanties and stinking tank rooms. The pamphlet describes the role and purpose of the union: Orear’s passion about the dire workplace conditions packinghouse workers faced and the hopes that stirred them was captured in a 1968 pamphlet that he wrote with Stephen Diamond to mark the 25 th anniversary of the founding convention of the United Packinghouse Food and Allied Workers Union. “I’m one of those that is giving leadership to the working force that’s going into the union….And it’s going on all over the country. “It was a wonderful time for me because I was this young fella and radical ideas are coming nowadays, I feel like I’m on the cusp,” he said in a 2008 interview on WBEZ. He was given the job, because he was one of the activists who could spell, he explained years later to me with a chuckle. plant began trying to unionize in the mid- 1930s, one of Orear’s first tasks in the movement was to become an editor of the Armour Cleaver, a weekly handbill for the union drive. ![]() People don’t know his name,” says Larry Spivack, president of the Illinois Labor History Society and regional director for AFSCME Council 31.

I am lucky to have a full set of SSE Yearbooks, and, out of curiosity, I recently paged through that initial Yearbook offering by Kent Whealy to see what sorts of things were the first to be traded and discussed. I sent in my payment, the Yearbook arrived, and my adventure began. By the time I joined, in 1986, the organization’s thick Yearbook offering thousands of varieties of non-hybrid seeds provided an endless journey for gardeners inclined to explore and preserve. Reading a copy of the wonderful gardening magazine Gardens for All in 1985, I learned about Seed Savers Exchange (SSE), an organization committed to preserving our horticultural genetic heritage that had been started by Kent Whealy and Diane Ott Whealy in Missouri a decade earlier with a tiny newsletter involving seed trades between a small handful of gardeners. ![]() Our 1984 garden was hand dug, large, and located in a most hospitable climate in eastern Pennsylvania it was prolific and yielded tasty food, yet it was starting to take on an element of sameness-red tomatoes and green peppers, high on hybrids and low on diversity. In 1983 we relocated to Seattle, where we squeezed just a few types of plants into the postage-stamp lot of our rental home. Starting one’s own seedlings is a tremendous enhancement to the gardening experience, as the options for what to grow increase exponentially over what is found in garden centers. We repeated the West Lebanon community gardening experience the following year, adding a few indoor-started seeds purchased from the typical large seed companies. ![]() We loved it, and we became hooked on gardening. Tending and harvesting the garden kept us delightfully busy provided needed relief from work, child rearing, and studies and greatly enhanced our meals. We filled the rich soil in the 10- by 20-foot rectangle with squash and corn, tomatoes and peppers, and beans and flowers with familiar names like ‘Better Boy’ and ‘California Wonder,’ both hybrids. With an infant, studies, and laboratory work-not to mention my wife’s job as a nurse -taking up much of our time, that first garden involved planting seeds and seedlings found at a local garden center. Seed Savers Exchange was in its infancy at this time (a mere six years old) and still unknown to me. My wife Susan and I, recently married, learned that graduate students at Dartmouth (where I was mid-degree) could pay practically nothing for a community plot in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, just a few minutes’ drive from our residence. I still recall the excitement and anticipation of planning my very first real garden in 1981. ![]() ![]() ![]() UW-Madison student Jack Kotte works like a farm boy, but he’s actually a Chicago native. Then, as Sanford describes his search for a low-energy, continuous extraction process, an auger plugs, and instantly the afternoon program shifts from taking samples and analyzing productivity to disassembling and unplugging the auger, the centerpiece of Sanford’s invention. The pleasant, familiar scent of mint is concentrated into a cloying one under a temporary shelter, but to a mint farmer, that’s the smell of money. At the far end, the steam and oil are condensed, and then, in a separate tank, the oil floats to the top of the water and is drained off. In Sanford’s tests, mint hay is unloaded from a wagon and metered into a 13-foot-long, steam-heated chamber where an 18” auger moves and mixes the hay. ![]() Nationally, 82,700 acres of peppermint and spearmint were grown in 2017, mainly in the Northwest. Mint oil – an essential flavoring for gum, toothpaste, mouthwash and tea – is grown by a dozen Wisconsin farmers on about 3,000 acres, usually on lowland, “muck” soils in the south-central part of the state. ![]() Today, extraction occurs by injecting steam through a tub-load of chopped mint, in a two-hour process. Photo by David TenenbaumĪs you drive around a steel building at the West Madison Agricultural Research Station on Mineral Point Road, your nose informs you before your eyes do that you’ve found the outdoor laboratory of Scott Sanford, a University of Wisconsin–Madison agricultural engineer.įor three years, Sanford has been honing an energy-miser, continuous flow method to remove mint oil from tons of mint plants. One acre of Wisconsin mint supplies enough mint flavoring for 50,000 to 80,000 tubes of toothpaste. Like his great-grandfather, Richard Gumz raises mint, along with carrots, onions and potatoes, at his farm near Endeavor, Wisconsin. ![]() ![]() ![]() "If these animals turn out to be the same species as the ghost sharks recently identified off California, it will be further evidence that, like many deep-sea animals, the pointy-nosed blue chimaera can really get around," the institute said. "If and when the researchers can get their hands on one of these fish, they will be able to make detailed measurements of its fins and other body parts and perform DNA analysis on its tissue."ĭoing so would either allow them to remove the "cf." from the species description – or lead to perhaps an even more exciting alternative: that they discovered a new species of ghost shark. "This is much easier said than done, because these fish are generally too large, fast, and agile to be caught," the institute notes. To be absolutely sure, researchers would have to capture the ghost shark and bring it back to the surface, the institute said. Because of that, the paper refers to the fish they recorded as Hydrolagus cf.trolli, rather than its scientific name, Hydrolagus trolli. Still, Lundsten and others from the Monterey Bay Aquarium institute can't be 100 percent certain that the fish captured on video is a pointy-nosed blue chimaera, despite their similar physical characteristics. All believed the fish was, in fact, a pointy-nosed blue chimaera. What they returned with surprised researchers: On film was what appeared to be a species of ghost shark previously only caught in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.Īccording to his paper, Lundsten consulted with three chimaera experts who watched the video from the diving expeditions. The ROVs captured footage from depths of up to 6,700 feet. ![]() Six years ago, researchers from the nonprofit sent an ROV, or remotely operated vehicle, on several dives off the waters of central California and Hawaii. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes a fun night with friends ends with a red wine stain on your shirt.

Taking into account the fact that, in addition to the farming token, the user receives a percentage of the tokens that he gave to the platform, participation in farming is beneficial in itself. For this reason, with the loss of mass interest in the site, the cost of the token can fall hundreds of times, given the previous crazy growth. Their price is determined only by the popularity of the project by which they are released. Apart from the bonus reward for users, such "farming" tokens have no intrinsic value. When farming, users are credited with platform tokens, to which they provide liquidity by lending their digital assets (other tokens). Large holders who own a significant share (stake) of a certain cryptocurrency get the right to validate (confirm) transactions in the proof-of-stake blockchain of this cryptocurrency, for which they receive a reward similar to miners in proof-of-work networks. In the case of staking, we are not talking about tokens, but about cryptocurrencies. It is often confused with staking, but they are completely different phenomena. Most of the top DeFi coins hype has to do with farming. Farming is only a small part of what DeFi technology allows you to do. If you need a project for long-term investment, then you should give preference to projects that are supported by a worthwhile and finished product or based on DeFi technology, rather than farming. If there is a high probability of losing money: either the token will not increase in price, or all holders will start selling tokens en masse, lowering its price lower and lower. You should not invest in projects that are aimed exclusively at farming and do not have a quality product under them. As a result, the project dies and leaves the market. They also sell tokens at the peak price, reducing the rate of the coin. In this case, investors who have invested before the project launch can earn on DeFi tokens. Then, in the first hours or days, when the price is pumped up to the limit, they sell their tokens and get huge profits.Within a few days, the project is on the decline. As a result, most of the assets end up in the hands of the founders of the project, and they inflate the price of the token using farming. They are specially released under the farming mechanism, when there is a certain pre-mining for the founders of the project. Most of the DeFi coins that are being created today by the dozens are made, as they say, on the knee. What Best DeFi Coins Are Worth Investing in? This includes all stablecoins, cryptocurrency wallets, smart protocols, infrastructure solutions, services, networks, prediction markets, marketplaces, dapps, landing platforms, validators in PoS networks that implement staking, and various financial instruments implemented on the blockchain. Decentralized finance sector includes under a hundred different tokens associated with DeFi systems. Today, DeFi includes projects of various types, and this is already a fairly large cap market interesting for regulators. However, in some cases the risk does pay off. And all because most of the created tokens, unlike Bitcoin and other established cryptos, do not have enough liquidity and are designed to quickly collect money from investors and disappear for good. Dozens of new coins appear daily, 90% of which may cease to exist in the next few days. The DeFi tokens boom in the financial cryptocurrency market continues. The excitement and hype make it difficult to see the real essence of most DeFi projects. The market is filled with innovative projects-experiments. What is DeFi? The DeFi coins craze is very reminiscent of the events around the 2017 ICO. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The technology giant gave conference attendees ‘Bring Back Clippy’ t-shirts a few years ago. Microsoft has been having fun with the character in the years since. In reality, Clippy’s prompts started out as useful for new users, but as their knowledge and experience of the software grew their need for prompts ended. Just over a decade is not a bad life for a piece of technology whose Wikipedia page says was unpopular with users. Introduced in version 8.0 of Microsoft’s Office suite in 1996, Clippy the animated paperclip appeared in every version of Office until version 12 was released in 2007. Whatever new font is declared the winner, it will replace Calibri in that Microsoft 365 role specifically.Clippy made a brief return to computer screens last month, writes Company-X director David Hallett. Update, 6:15 pm EDT: We heard back from Microsoft's PR team shortly after publication to clarify any confusion from the blogpost. Segoe UI is Microsoft's Windows and Web UI font, while Calibri has been the default font for user’s content (such as with Microsoft 365 apps). Evidently, this is not a font-acracy the ultimate decision will be made in Redmond. (The announcement blog also isn't entirely clear whether this new default font will replace Calibri only in the Office suite or across Windows-we reached out to Microsoft for clarification and will update this post if we hear back.) Instead, it urged any Office users with fervent font feelings to. The width of the uppercase was also increased by about 20 units (roughly two percent) to keep them in step with the lowercase.įor now, Microsoft hasn't provided a firm timetable for this font farewell to take place. Ultimately, I found increasing the width of the lowercase by 40 units (four to five percent) was perfect. Then, I created a version about 20 percent wider than the original design and interpolated between them to find the exact right balance between Bahnschrift-ness and the horizontal aspect. This results in better legibility and readability at smaller sizes on low-resolution devices, which matters because Grandview is intended for body text on any computer running Windows. Using Bahnschrift-a prototype I developed in the mechanical style of DIN -as a starting point, I decided to keep the x-height large. His explanation of how this idea evolved felt appropriately and mechanically German: Grandview designer Aaron Bell said he was inspired by classic German road and railway signage, which emphasized readability so onlookers could understand from a distance or in poor weather. The last candidate stands as a personal favorite (clearly, it'd look its absolute best in lowercase surrounded by a certain hued circle). #VoteGrandview (I am not a designer, but I can take letters from a screenshot and put them in their best context) "And when it comes to italics, it turns out there are parallels between chair ergonomics and typography: rather than inflating it and making it softer, trust the rigid moments that are good for your back." Advertisement "To pinpoint the kind of familiarity and 'comfort' the typeface should evoke, we also looked at pictures of old armchairs: in chair terms, we were going for a practical interpretation of a beautiful family heirloom durable upholstery, nothing overtly plushy or nostalgic," wrote designer Nina Stössinger. And Microsoft evidently means serious familiarity. The former is based on the shape of serif typefaces the latter is "rooted in the design of old-style serif text typefaces" to evoke familiarity. Skeena and Seaford are sans serifs, each designed to mimic certain aspects of serifs. Bierstadt is Yet Another Helvetica Impostor™ (aka, a new typeface in the "grotesque sans serif" category). Tenorite appealed because it took an opposite approach from Calibri (round, wide, and crisp rather than soft corners and narrow proportions). All five are sans serifs- shots fired at the legacy of Times New Roman-and the Microsoft Design Team made a case for each when unveiling these new options. As pictured above, the new potential default fonts are called Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford, and Grandview. ![]() ![]() When the lighting is too harsh, these sheets will soften the light.
