The Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation, run by general manager John Meek, aims to improve the efficiency and profitability of dairy farming through an accurate, rapid, and cost effective milk testing service. Milk testing is an essential herd management component for all dairy processors as it measures the amount, quality and contents of the dairy products. Supply management agencies limit milk production; thus, profit is maximized through acquiring premiums from quality dairy with high levels of protein and butter fat as opposed to mass production and distribution. The dairy herd is the largest source of revenue for farmers, data from milk testing helps maximize milk production as farmers

The Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation is a non- profit organization, which provides milk-testing services for Ontario dairy producers. Physical facilities include a head office and computer system located in Guelph, as well as milk testing labs in Kemptville and Woodstock. Ontario DHI’s mission is to maintain an organization that will deliver an accurate, timely and cost-effective milk testing service and promote improvements in the efficiency and profitability of dairy production in the province of Ontario.

The powered milk became such a commodity that the local produce dairy farms couldn’t sell their milk. A memorable scene in the film was when the dairy farmers had to spill out all their surplus milk that was only a days worth to make room for new milk since it wasn’t being consumed. A dairy farm used to produce 3,000 quarts per day and after America subsidized the milk industry, dairy farms were producing only about 600 liters. Dairy farmers were run out of their businesses and it’s sad to say but some dairy farmers were forced to convert to butchering their cows in order to make profit (Black).

As individuals, we live in a social environment that protects and separates us from feeling emotional pain that encounters with racism all around us. In the article, “The Sugarcoated Language of White Fragility”, Dr. DiAngelo argues, this “protected environment” of racial barrier constructs racial outlooks for comfort while at the same time lowering the power to allow emotional pain, leading to as white fragility (DiAngelo, 2016). White Fragility is defined as “racial stress becomes triggering a range of defensive moves” (DiAngelo, 2016, p. 1). In other words, the importance of one’s skin color and how it shapes an individual perspective and living knowledge is not characterized in an individual however it is determined by society and how they are presented (Lietz, 2015). This is the reality of attempting to have a discussion that encounters white fragility. For instance, this concept of white fragility can be seen in the Charlottesville riot. Charlottesville riot was occurring at the University of Virginia where white men demonstrated their racial outrage, and revulsion power violence because a statue have been removed (Heim, 2017). As quoted “You will not replace us” can be explained by how much rights are given than everyone else because of how much privilege is given in society (Heim, 2017). Overall, society have constructed and developed a belief system that deliberates power and privilege on those recognized of race (Kegler, 2016). Such power and privilege proves itself in having the capacity to shape social norms, and special treatment without being mindful of their race (Kegler, 2016).

The American Revolution was undeniably the most pivotal time period in respect to United States History, but who was really to blame for initiating the conflict? While both the British politicians and American colonists shared the blame for the kindling of the revolution, one party was certainly more at fault than the other: the British. Through short-term causes of taxation and incommodious trade acts, and long-term causes of salutary neglect and involvement in the burdensome French & Indian War, the British politicians proved to ultimately be the most responsible for igniting the Revolutionary War.

As our discussion post provided this week, the colonists responded with rebellion because of the new acts that were imposed upon them by the British (Schultz, K., 2013). Their attempt to reform the American colonies contributed to the growth of the Revolutionary movement because the British tried to enforce stricter policies and laws (Schultz, K. M., 2013). The British wanted to tighten the policies over the colonial officials so that it would reduce the corruption, the British wanted control over the area of land that the settlers occupied, and they wanted to raise revenue by taxing goods. Although the British were adamant about their purpose, the colonist believed that rebelling against them would help in receiving their independence.

White Fragility is an essay by Robin DiAngelo that critiques the inner workings of how white majority population poorly converse and interacts with the racial social construct that resides in modern American culture. Not privileged with the opportunity to ignore racial tensions, blacks are ready to discuss the disadvantages they face daily in America’s white privileged culture. DiAngelo states that since whites have not had been forced to develop a mode of conversing about racial inequalities in black culture; therefore whites become uncomfortable, evasive, and angry. Because of evasive language when triggers such as “suggesting that a white person’s viewpoint comes from a racialized frame of reference”, the construct of white supremacy is

I will be discussing how some of the most known rebellions were either successful or not and what they could of changed to make it more productive than it turned out to be. I also be comparing the ways in which the Haitian rebellion was successful compared to the Stono and the Nat Turner rebellion. I will discuss the leaders and how they led the rebellion and the outcomes.

Ques -Explain how and why slavery developed in the American colonies. Why couldn’t colonists use indentured servants as they had in the past?

Before the Pure Food and Drug Act, food was produced and sold in a manner that left holes in information necessary for consumers’ health. Food that today would be considered toxic was sold to everyday civilians. After the Industrial Revolution, it became common for people to buy their food from large food suppliers instead of family farmers. Many consumers weren't aware of the conditions of large industrial factories,but many people's--most importantly the government’s--opinions changed once their food’s real quality surfaced to the public by muckraker journalists. The Pure Food and Drug Act was the most revolutionary aspect of the Progressive Era. The act completely transformed the amount of importance the government dedicated to food regulations,

“I’m going to make a name for myself. If I fail, you will never hear of me again” Edward James Muggeridge. True to his words he succeeded in making a name for himself and he created the first movie or “motion picture”. Movies are a rollercoaster ride that transcends people into a whole different world fresh out of somebody’s imagination as seen through the genres of horror, drama, and science fiction. The movie business allows people to break through the burden of everyday life. Considering today’s way of life, people would be lying if they did not admit that movies are an influential entity in our culture. Movies have been successful in ingraining values and elements into society. Movies exaggerate, sensationalize and at

Dairy Farmers was established in 1900 (Dairy Farmers, 2006a). It is one of Australia’s oldest food and beverage companies. It is presently headquartered in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. It is also the owner of the popular and award winning OAK brand name.

However, it has grown over the years to become a major and dominant player in Australia, with a turnover of over 1.3 Australian dollars. The company obtains its milk from its own cooperative, made up of thousands of dairy farmers. These farmers are shareholders of the company. Dairy farmers also supplies both fresh and processed products the local as well as export markets. The company is reputed for its product excellence, having won a tall list of awards during its existence. In the words of the company it is “committed to using only the best and freshest ingredients, and to providing our customers with

Canada 's dairy sector operates under a supply management system based on planned domestic production, supervised pricing and strict controls on dairy product imports. The system was adopted for industrial milk in the early 1970s to address the unstable prices, uncertain supplies and fluctuating producers and processor revenues which were common in the 1950s and 1960s. By enforcing this system, farmers attempt to strike the most accurate balance between supply and demand of dairy products (Canadian Dairy Commission, 2010).
