Marketing under the Slow Food Presidium label helps farmers to preserve the breed and valorize their products. ![]() Although Girgentana are prolific and produce well, they face competition from more populous breeds with similar productivity. There is a growing interest in establishing sustainable systems of high-quality artisan dairy products from heritage breeds, especially fresh and mature cheeses transformed on the farm for direct sale. Ideas changed in the nineties, as imported goats brought new diseases and did not yield significantly more cheese than local landraces, which proved hardier. During the 1960–70s, the push for increased production led to a preference for imported dairy goats, such as Saanen, and it became easier to find breeding males of such breeds. But by the 1980s, they were on the verge of extinction. In 1958, there were about 37,000 head in these areas.

However, this tradition was eradicated in the thirties by new laws prohibiting urban goat farming for sanitary reasons. This mild-flavored milk was mainly given to infants and the elderly. HISTORY: In the 1920–30s, urban herders took goats door to door and to market to supply milk fresh from the teat to villagers.

![]() So a 10×42 binocular would have an objective lens diameter of 42mm. The second number in a binocular description is the diameter of the objectives lens measured in millimeters (mm). Objective Lens Diameter: The Second Number The 11 Best Spotting Scopes for Bird WatchingĢ.If you do want magnification above 10x, then skip a binocular and just buy a spotting scope and tripod! Anything above 10x typically provides so much magnification that the image will appear shaky because you can’t hold the binoculars still enough without a tripod. My recommendation: Try to pick binoculars that have a magnification between 7-10x. Magnification is the number of times an object is magnified through the binocular. So an 8×42 optic would have a magnification of 8. The first number you read is the magnification. For example, it will show a combination such as 7×42, 10×25, or 8×30. The 8 Best Binoculars for Bird WatchingĮvery binocular has two numbers in its description.*For specific binocular recommendations for birding, try this article* I want you to feel confident shopping for and choosing binoculars, and this starts with having a firm understanding of the terms, numbers, features, and specifications you will run across. The purpose of this section is to provide education. Remember that each company has a mission to sell binoculars, so it’s the sales departments job to make their product sound as appealing as possible. It can be hard to read between the lines of the brochures or salespeople to choose the best binocular for your specific needs. The 10 Features/Specifications You Need to Know About!Īs you shop for binoculars, it’s inevitable that you are going to read through flashy marketing descriptions designed to convince and persuade you to buy that specific product. Just because a particular style of optics is great for your friend does not mean it’s the best for you.Īs much as you want to shop online and find the perfect choice without ever leaving your house, my recommendation is to go to a local store that sells optics and test and hold as many binoculars as possible! It’s the only way you are going to know what size you prefer or what’s comfortable to hold in YOUR hands. Test, touch, and feel as many different models as possible! Most of this post discusses all the confusing numbers and technical data that you are going to encounter as you shop and the reasons some binoculars cost more than a used car.īut first, it’s imperative to mention the most important thing you must do while choosing your next or first set of binoculars. Why are some binoculars so expensive? The 3 Things That Affect Price The MOST.The 10 Features/Specifications You Need to Know About!.Regardless if your hobby is birding, hunting, or something else, this article will help explain the different specifications, technical data, and features of binoculars you need to know before making a purchase. There are thousands of optics ranging across many price points. ![]() Hence the Average button on DigiKam calculates the average of all UNIX dates of all photographs stored in the affected folder. In UNIX systems, including PCLinuxOS, the date of a file is stored as a long integer based on the starting date of January 1, 1968. The button Average “calculates†the date based on the dates of all photographs in the album. The button Oldest refers to the oldest date assigned to the photograph in this Album. This date could be any arbitrary date, but it is suggested that the date could be the date the album was created, either in DigiKam, or the date the album of photographs were originally taken (which could well predate computers). Information here is stored in DigiKam's internal database.īelow that is a calendar where you can assign a date for the Album. Likewise, Captions are typed in a freeform box just below Category. As one could guess, you can add categories by simply typing them in the category box. Here2, there are predefined categories that can be assigned to folders (as well as individual images). Categories are searchable from the search function found elsewhere in DigiKam. As titles are derived from subdirectories, changing the title here also changes the name of the subdirectory where the folder (or subfolder) resides within ~/Pictures.Ĭlicking on Category allows you to assign a category to the album. Selecting Properties here will allow you to edit information about the selected folder. Holding down Shift, then pressing the F2 key allows you to rename the folder, and holding down Alt and pressing the Return key shows you information about the folder you right clicked on. Here, in addition to the two items that we just discussed in the first example, we have options to rename the folder, reset the icon of the folder (icons for folders can be changed within Dolphin), find image duplicates, refresh the contents of the folder, import and export photographs in the folder, delete the folder, or show information about the folder.įrom the keyboard, you can hold down Control then press N to create a new directory. In this example, I right clicked on the Architecture folder. What pops up depends on which entry you right click on.įor the Pictures entry, only two items appear in the popup menu, one to create a subdirectory in ~/Pictures, and one to open the Pictures directory in Dolphin (the KDE file manager). You can right click on any entry in this panel except for the root level entry Albums. These two entries are created when DigiKam is2 first launched. The entry Pictures refers to the ~/Pictures directory on the hard drive. The root level entry named Albums is the root level of the database where DIgiKam stores information on each photograph. If you are doing photographic work for someone else on the same machine you are doing photographic work for yourself, it is a good idea to create subdirectories to separate work you do for others from work you do for yourself. Here, we have a (partial) structure of how photographs on my laptop are organized. The left panel in DigiKam is where Albums are managed. In this example, the process was immediate as no new photographs have been added or deleted. This could take some time if you have a large collection of photographs. (In fact, this is one reason why Shotwell was included in the repository.)Įach time DigiKam is loaded, DigiKam checks the directory (or directories) where your photo collection is stored for newly added (or deleted) photographs and updates its database accordingly. ![]() If you were to load DigiKam from, say, the MATE desktop, the basic KDE libraries would have to be loaded first, increasing the time needed to launch the application, not to mention that the full functionality of DigiKam cannot be guaranteed when running on non-KDE desktops. Because DigiKam was designed for the KDE (Plasma) desktop, it is best to launch DigiKam from the KDE (Plasma) desktop as many required libraries the application uses have already been loaded when KDE (Plasma) desktop was launched. For this issue, let us discuss the basics of photo management in DigiKam.Īs with many Linux applications, you should (theoretically) be able to launch DigiKam from any desktop. In the last issue, I presented an introduction to DigiKam and its basic interface (as well as a small sample of my photo collection). ![]() Diana, humiliated by Charles’s relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles and staggering from the ongoing media blitz, is treated as unreasonable, unruly, and on the verge of a breakdown, though it’s always clear her problem is that she’s too sane to play the game. Spencer, which was written by Steven Knight, does the reverse, mining the implicit ridiculousness of the pretense that this group of fallible human beings somehow represents a country’s soul. But Jackie was a movie about the creation of American royalty, about how its protagonist carved her late husband’s presidency into national mythology through force of will and the power of image, enshrining him as a representative of a lost idyll rather than an all-too-human man. Spencer, a portrait of a tragic modern aristocrat dealing with the weight of public regard, is an obvious bookend to Larraín’s 2016 Jackie, in which Natalie Portman played, with brittle self-awareness, a just-widowed Jacqueline Kennedy in the same situation. She’s exposing the arbitrary nature of the regimented ceremonies and traditions the family depends on to set itself apart from the rest of the world. In repeatedly arriving after the queen (Stella Gonet) to meals, to photos, and to the holidays themselves, Diana is disrupting the order of things. As everyone else, including her husband, Charles (Jack Farthing), and their children, William (Jack Nielen) and Harry (Freddie Spry), arrives with the standard driver and security entourage, Diana wanders alone into a café, a hush falling as she asks the woman behind the counter, “Where am I?” It’s hard to miss, as metaphors go, though there’s more to Diana’s tardiness than a loss of a sense of self. But as a fretful adult in the world’s most scrutinized failing marriage, she finds herself unable to recognize the area in which she was once a carefree child. ![]() It’s a place she knows well, having been born in nearby Park House. In the opening scenes of Pablo Larraín’s new movie, the Princess of Wales - played with remarkable translucence by Kristen Stewart - has gotten lost after deciding to make her own way to Sandringham, to the manor where the royal family gathers for their Christmas celebration. We are republishing it on the occasion of the film’s theatrical release.ĭiana is always running late in Spencer.

![]() Like many mattress brands, inflation has resulted in steadily rising costs. ![]() The premium Nectar Premier Copper is now the company's most expensive mattress. Includes a 365-night sleep trial plus lifetime warranty.Currently 33% off, with prices from $937 for a twin. ![]() Nectar's most premium (and expensive) mattress on offer.Nectar Premier Copper mattress review: Price and deals We'd suggest buying one of the best mattress protectors (opens in new tab) you can afford to keep your Nectar fresher and stain-free for longer. This cover is also not machine-washable, but stains can be spot-treated. You can unzip and remove this cover, but Nectar advises against doing this to maintain the integrity of the mattress. By comparison, the non-cooling Nectar Premier has a smaller 7in foam base but a taller 3in transitional foam layer for a slightly plusher feel.Įverything is capped by a bottom layer cover that keeps the mattress in place on your bed frame or the floor. This adapts to your sleep temperature while comfortably contouring to your body shape.įor support, there's a 1in layer of soft transitional foam followed by a 9in firm foam base, making it Nectar's most durable mattress yet. Directly underneath that is a 4in layer of high-density gel memory foam infused with phase change materials. This feels cool to the touch and is designed to wick away heat. At the top is a poly-blend cover made of polyethylene and copper fibers. The Nectar Premier Copper consists of five layers. You'll also receive a full refund, plus assistance from Nectar in either donating or recycling the mattress. This is far better than the industry standard on both counts as most boxed mattresses come on a 100-night trial and have a 10-year warranty. If you decide the Premier Copper isn't for you, Nectar offers free returns within the 365-night trial period. Like all Nectars, the Premier Copper comes on a 365-night risk-free trial and is covered with a Forever Warranty. However, for people who tend to roll towards the end of their bed while asleep, the weak edge support of the Nectar Premier Copper may be a rude awakening. Motion isolation is very good on the Nectar Premier Copper, so couples with contrasting sleep schedules and habits, or if one of you is prone to restlessness in bed, will sleep better on this mattress. We'd suggest the Saatva HD mattress, which is designed to support a range of heavier body types, and is often featured among the Saatva mattress sales and deals. However, sleepers with larger builds may find it too soft and may want to consider an alternative. Nectar classifies this mattress as medium-firm and we're inclined to agree. The Premier Copper does have some give, but unlike most full-foam mattresses we didn't feel as though we were sinking too deeply into it. Meanwhile, our experience was mixed when we slept on our backs, as some of us felt there just wasn't enough support in the lumbar area. It provided us with ample support and pressure relief in this position, especially along our head and shoulders. We found the Nectar Premier Copper mattress the most comfortable for side sleeping. Based on our experience, we can confidently proclaim that the Premier Copper is among the best cooling mattresses you can buy. So does the Nectar Premier Copper live up to its claims of being cooling and supportive? We slept on it for a month and ran a series of tests to discover whether or not that was the case. (Find all of the latest savings in our best Nectar mattress sales and deals guide.) But Nectar, being one of the best mattress brands, often features substantial money-off discounts and includes premium freebies worth hundreds of dollars with purchase. The MSRP for a queen size is $1,799, which is $500 more than a queen size Nectar Lush. One of two models brought in to replace the now-discontinued Nectar Lush, the Nectar Premier Copper is now the brand's most expensive offering to date. The top cover is made of a blend of copper fibers and polyethylene that remains cool to the touch when you lie on it. At a lofty 14 inches tall, the Nectar Premier Copper mattress comprises a 9-inch base layer, 1-inch transitional foam layer, and a 4-inch layer of temperature-regulating gel memory foam. Nectar calls its premium cooling mattress its 'tallest, coolest, and most supportive' model yet. ![]() Similar to Black Desert Online and Tera, this is a real-time combat game with players dodging and sending out a variety of different style attack moves against their opponent.
