![]() ![]() ![]() Thus farmers’ markets, through their contextual embeddedness, have more potential to instigate sustainable practices within the local area where they occur than do industrial food systems.įarmers’ markets encourage local food security through their promotion and support of local food production. In this situation, impacts related to food practices, such as soil erosion and water consumption, are issues of immediate concern. (1996) explain that a community, which depends upon its community members, neighbouring lands, and native species to provide for most of its needs has to make sure the resources it uses to satisfy those needs are maintained in a healthy state. Local sustainability is directly related to contextual embeddedness. In industrial food systems, natural parameters are often not even perceived due to the wide distances between causes and effects. Local food practices adapt to fit natural parameters and constraints, which are perceived as limits to be respected, not obstacles to be overcome (Kloppenburg et al., 1996). The impacts of these practices cannot be distanced and externalized in the same manner that they often are in the long-distance, industrial food system. Local food system practices such as farmers’ markets are directly tied to place and time as well as social, economical, ethical and physical systems within which they are located. This can then lead to more sustainable practices. This does not mean that local food systems are inherently more sustainable than industrial food systems, but that they are more apt to acknowledge the importance of relying on locally available resources and recognizing interdependencies between local producers and consumers. As well, key issues, such as CRD health regulations, accessibility and inclusion of low-income consumers, and market standards regarding local and organic products, must be addressed by related stakeholders, partners, and the market committee.įarmers’ markets, through their potential to sustain and support the local food system, can contribute to sustainability goals. However, before implementing the market, it is advised that further research and consultation be undertaken with respect to concerns such as location, scheduling, products offered, features, and types of marketing. The study considers the creation of a farmers' market in the Royal Oak area of Saanich, BC. Though it is necessary to be realistic about the ability of farmers’ markets to alter the industrial food system, farmers’ markets have the potential to be instrumental in supporting the local food system. Given the links between local food systems and sustainability and the desired role of farmers’ markets in local food systems, studying farmers’ markets can offer insights into the barriers and opportunities that exist for strengthening local food systems and achieving sustainability outcomes. In particular, it concentrates on farmers’ markets, an important aspect of food distribution. This case study addresses a key component of the local food system: food distribution by local agricultural producers. ![]() There is a movement towards strengthening the local food system on Vancouver Island. ![]()

![]() A man prepared to elongate his personal suffering for the greater good, despite the ostensibly undignified means, Sands was one of ten men who would succumb to starvation as a result of the protest. The film is a distressing, explicit, and deeply meaningful portrait of one man’s defiance in the face of British inequity. It's largely a film steeped in vast periods of harrowing silence, yet McQueen utilizes the lengthy, poignant, and repetitive sounds of batons beating shields, the bristles of a broom against concrete floors, and the continuous clanging of metal plates to add to the atmospheric haze of the depths of depravity. We’ve become accustomed to McQueen’s propensity toward grit, realism, and this ardent determination to expose the unimaginable evils of historic events through the medium of film, regardless of how barbaric, nefarious, and iniquitous they may be, but Hunger just might take the cake. Related: The Best Movies About Politics From the 21st Century, So Far Michael Fassbender (a regular McQueen collaborator) is incredible in the titular role as Bobby Sands, delivering arguably the defining performance of his career to date throughout his 42-pound weight loss in the film. ![]() The film is set in the infamous Maze prison on the outskirts of Lisburn, Northern Ireland which housed the revolutionary, Bobby Sands and many paramilitary prisoners, and documents the build-up and consequences of a hunger strike of 1981. Prison cell walls decorated with human excrement, urine-flooded corridors, and prisoners facing unfathomable inhumanity are perhaps the most obvious takeaways from 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen’s 2008 film Hunger. ![]() ![]() Anticoagulant-related bleeding: clinical epidemiology, prediction, and prevention.

Head into Settings and click on the wand icon shown above. If you’re still on the memory card screen, press the Steam button and close PCSX2. Now let’s get into the fun stuff about see about making those games look their best. To save to the card, use it exactly like you would a real PS2 memory card (normally there’s an option in-game you’ll need to click to manually save). Now whenever you boot up a PS2 game, the game will use this memory card as its place to store save game files. Once you’ve basked in the glow of PS2 nostalgia (we all do), press the Steam Deck’s A button on Browser.Ĭlick on the memory card as shown above and follow the on-screen instructions to format the memory card. Once it loads, use the D-pad to scroll to Start BIOS and click the A button to open it. Once the Steam Deck reloads and you’re looking at your game collection on the home screen, head into your Library, then non-Steam Games, and find and open PCSX2. The reason for this is PCSX2 in Desktop Mode treats the Steam Deck as a PC, so when you boot into the BIOS, you won’t be able to control it properly. This is important: Close down PCSX2 and boot back into the main Gaming Mode. When you’re done, hit Create and that’s the PS2 memory card set up in PCSX2. ![]() It’s just like the actual PS2 experience in that regard, only virtual.

Give your memory card a name in the top box, then select how much space you want to devote to the card. One of the options in the storage settings will be Create Memory Card. To do this, head into Settings and click on the SD Icon shown above. That’s why you need to set up a PS2 memory card as this bypasses that problem. Whenever you update PCSX2 via the online updater, there’s a chance your save states will become incompatible. PCSX2 has a save state function but it’s rubbish. Hit Open when you’re in your BIOS folder and PCSX2 will add all the files inside to the main emulator. > Run > Media > Mmcblk0p1 > Bios > PS2_Bios Click on that and you’ll be asked to point to where you keep your BIOS file or files.

I can’t tell you where to get PS2 BIOS files for legal reasons. If you’re unsure how to transfer files to the Steam Deck, specifically files from Windows to the Steam Deck’s Linux environment, I’ve got a guide that covers how to do that through a program called Warpinator. Once you’re inside the PS2 folder, this is where you can place your ROMs (or likely ISO files). For me, it’s installed on my SD card, so the path is as follows: Go back into the Dolphin File Explorer and locate the PS2 ROMs folder. Use the right trigger to click on this file twice to open it up.Ĭlick on Execute and follow the on-screen instructions to install EmuDeck. Once that’s downloaded, open up the Dolphin File Explorer (the blue bag icon) and navigate to your Downloads folder. I made a full guide to install EmuDeck, but the quick version is to go to the EmuDeck website, and click on Download Installer.

The model and relations proposed should be useful for traders evaluating observed prices or placing limit orders for stocker futures and options. The volatility of spot stocker cattle prices is comparable to spot feeder cattle prices, supporting the idea of using feeder cattle implied volatility measures as estimates of stocker cattle futures implied volatility in option pricing models. A model explains the spread between feeder cattle and stocker cattle futures prices as a function of feed prices, live cattle prices, and seasonal factors. The number of head of stocker weight cattle sold on the spot market has increased in recent years while the practice of cross-hedging stocker weight cattle against the feeder cattle contract remains risky. Traders need decision tools to discover prices or to evaluate quoted prices that may not contain all the information in the market. Low trading volume in the CME stocker cattle contracts has made hedgers and speculators reluctant to use the contracts. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'You could use something that isn't watertight but is strong, such as a large plant pot, but making sure that it doesn't leak can be challenging,' they continue.Just make sure it's strong to withstand frosts and other outdoor elements.
