Looking for a local tree service?
Call our toll-free hotline now!
Premium Tree Service
Our professionally trained and highly experienced arborists in Mountain Home A F B will evaluate the condition of your trees and determine the type of pruning services they need. They will prune structurally weak trees to increase their robustness and health. Other trees will need thinning to improve sunlight penetration for the grass and other forms of ground cover that may be experiencing shading from the canopy.
Young trees also need pruning to reduce branches and allow the terminal leader to grow tall and strong. Our experts will prune young trees to maintain the right density for optimal growth. The pruning plan varies with tree species and stage of growth.
Storm Damage Prevention
We assess the tree cover on your property for the risk of storm damage and propose interventions to minimize risks. We advise you to remove or prune trees that may endanger people and property. You can always request our arborists to inspect your property before the storm season to determine those trees that need support and other interventions to reduce the risk of storm damage.
Emergency Service
We respond quickly to emergencies involving fallen trees and branches to help restore normalcy on your property. Call our emergency services in Mountain Home A F B ID after storm damage or old and diseased trees have fallen in your property. We have all the equipment needed to remove fallen trees and branches no matter where they are on your property.
Trimming or Pruning
Trees sometimes grow too fast and invade spaces that they are not supposed to. Tree branches can grow on top of houses and might cause accidents during storms. A tree branch can come into contact with electrical wire and cause fire or can break and fall and harm a person. The best way to avoid such occurrences is by trimming or pruning branches at least once every year. Apart from preventing accidents, trimming can also serve as a maintenance action by making sure that the trees in your backyard have a pleasant appearance. Decorative trees can increase the value of your home and help you earn more in case of a resale.
Tree Health Check
Another service that we offer is arborist inspection services. An arborist is tree health professional. These professionals can inspect and assess your tee and advice you on what to do with the tree. Trees, like human and animals, also get attacked by diseases and die if they don't get professional assistance. Our professional arborists are well equipped and have the experience to identify tree diseases and advise accordingly. You can save some of the trees while others have to be eliminated as a way of preventing further spread of the disease. An arborist's best interest is to ensure that every tree is in its best condition.
Tree Stump Removal
We remove tree stumps in Mountain Home A F B on your property so that you can use the space for other purposes. Stump removal also helps control unregulated vegetation growth from shoots that may grow out of old stumps. We have specialized machinery that removes stumps without causing damage to your property. Our stump grinders help remove all rotting stumps that are an eyesore on your property.
Tree Removal
We provide professional tree removal services in Mountain Home A F B ID by cutting them safely and effectively so that you can utilize the timber for various applications. We help remove trees that are dying or dead and those that may pose risks such as falling on power lines. Our experts sometimes advise property owners to remove trees for a healthy bush or plantation because overcrowding may cause intense competition for light and nutrients.
We also help remove trees to pave the way for property developments such as the construction of new structures and passages. Our arborists have experience removing trees in all manner of properties and will remove the tree with minimal risk and disruption of other operations on the property.

text: Welcome to "one-more -report-form"® better known as the Kingdom Post Event Report Form. This report is meant to be filled out by the Event Steward shortly after and within 30 days of the end of the event. The 30 days coincides with the amount of time that is given for the Exchequer's Report to be be done. You do not have to have ALL of the elements available to fill this out but the more the merrier. The point of all of this is to assure communications--between the Event Steward and the rest of the event staff; between the Event Steward and the group hosting the event; and for the future Event Stewards that can look back and see what they might expect, what worked and what can be improved upon for the next time. When filling this form out, please take the time to give a synopsis of each area rather than copy someone else's report in its entirety.

Chelo Aestrid is a Cebu-born, LA-raised, London-educated, and Manila-residing singer, dancer, host, writer, designer, actress, and entrepreneur. With powerful vocals, energetic dance moves, thought-provoking lyrics, funky style, and fun stage persona, she loves to thrill any crowd. She has performed in Asia, North America, and Europe and has opened for international acts such as Justin Timberlake, Ne-Yo, Timbaland, Nicki Minaj, and Pussycat Dolls. She has toured in Southeast Asia as an adidas Originals sponsored host with urban music legends Ali Shaheed Muhammad of Tribe Called Quest, Maceo of De La Soul, Tony Touch, and the Triple Threat DJ's. She received "Best Dance Recording" from the Awit Awards, "Female Style Icon" and "Best Music Video" from the Urban Music Awards in Manila. She is a founding member of the Philippine Allstars, the two-time World Hip-hop Dance Champions. She also has experience in acting (TVCs and feature film), hosting, modeling (print), teaching dance, and organizing events. She is a founder of the clothing lines Capital G and BY:CHelo; and of the webstore BarongWarehouse.com, which sells quality barong tagalong at the lowest prices. She has studied Performing Arts, Architecture, and Fashion Design, and she finished a First Honours (Summa Cum Laude) Business Administration degree at Middlesex University, London, U.K. Lastly, she has been involved in non-profit organizations such as Gawad Kalinga, Child Hope, Rock Ed, Greenpeace, and Change.org. She also volunteered for disaster relief efforts including personally raising funds for her provincial hometown of Cebu after Typhoon Haiyan, which led to the creation of the song and foundation "Chance for Change" with XienHow.
Note: Chelo Aestrid collaborated with XienHow on the music video Chance for Change, which CA+T republished in its online exhibition Storm.
In November 2013, Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan devastated most of the Visayas region of the Philippines. Thanks to many friends across the world we were able to provide some assistance to people who lost their homes in Borbon, Cebu. The job is not done, but we wanted to show you a great place to start helping the families already affected, and we wanted to create a sustainable platform for future funding for families affected by natural disasters. We started the CHANCE FOR CHANGE FOUNDATION and created a music video to show the sunny smiles of the Filipinos that never fade regardless of the challenges they face.
As a renaissance artist and a businesswoman, Chelo Aestrid is always striving to be her best self in any given situation through perseverance, passion, and positivity. She has been blessed to be able to do what she's done so far, and only wishes to continue the good work and help others achieve their own highest potential.

XienHow was born Zen Seville and has had a very interesting life to say the least. Having moved 30 plus times by the time he was twelve, from Baja California all the way up to the Bay Area, he has a perspective that only people who have spent a lot of time traveling can have. Coming from parents with a spiritual background and belief system, he is very open minded and identifies himself as a spiritual person. Having spent the greater part of the last 15 plus years honing his artistic talents and simultaneously working a full time "career job" in the construction industry, he is considered by many as an active member of many philanthropic and artistic circles. His professional experience has allowed him to develop an outstanding work ethic, which in turn helped him fund a lot of the community work and artistic platforms he continuously has provided to artistic communities throughout his career. In 2006, XienHow made his first trip to the Philippines where he fell in love with her people and culture. He has returned 13 times since then and has worked with the local entrepreneurs/philanthropists "Konektado" to continue creating positive and productive outlets and platforms for the people. Through his working relationship with Konektado, he met Chelo Aestrid, which is how the "Chance for Change" collaboration came to life.
XienHow is an artist who focuses his music on the positive development of the mind and on changing the way people view their lives. He draws on the pain, struggles, and successes of his life to make music that he spreads on a global scale. He has worked with many legendary artists throughout the industry and has toured throughout the world and continues to do so. He is willing to work with other people with the same dedicated hard working ethical understanding. He works in the light of God and will not waver at the hands of darkness.

its database. Additionally, Company may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future.
(a) Cookies. "Cookies" are a feature in your browser software. If enabled, we may write cookies that may
store small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of the pages of this Site. Cookies
assist us in tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and what content you may have viewed on
past visits. When you visit this site again, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to
your preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return visits to this site; accumulate
and report aggregate, statistical information on website usage; deliver specific content to you based on
your interests or past viewing history; save your password for ease of access to our Site. You can disable
cookies, although the Site may not function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to

cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In order to use all of the features and functionality of Company's
websites, you need to accept cookies.
(b) Web Beacons. A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but
can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and associate you with previously
acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows Company to track certain websites you
visit. Web beacons are used to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes to determine products
or services you may be interested in. In addition to using web beacons on web pages, Company also uses web
beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in Company's database.
(c) IP Addresses. Company automatically tracks certain information based upon your behavior on the site. We
may use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to
better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This information may include the URL that you
just came from (whether this URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on
the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet Protocol ("IP") is a
unique Internet "address" which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). For local area
network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular
computer. IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a user's
traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation
of the ISP, be used to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can, however, reveal
what geographic area you are connecting from, or which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit
have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.
(d) Computer Profiles. Company may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data which will help us
understand and analyze the Internet experience of our visitors. For instance, Company may accumulate visitor
data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers used, operating system software, screen
resolutions, color capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine
able to use such visitor data to identify you.
(e) Data Analysis. Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by a Client of

developing. As a result, Company strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates
regarding its use of new technology.

about children under the age of 13. If Company obtains actual knowledge that it has collected Personal
Information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from its
database. Because it does not collect such information, Company has no such information to use or to
disclose to third parties.
1.7. Credit Card Information and Bank Account Information. Company may, in certain instances, collect
credit card numbers, bank account information and related information when an individual places an order on
Company's Website. When the credit card or bank account information is submitted to Company, such
information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption software. Company will use the credit card
information or bank account information for purposes of processing and completing the transaction you
requested on the Website, and the credit card information or bank account information will be disclosed to
third parties only as necessary to complete the requested purchase transaction.
2.0. Use of Personal Information.
2.1. General Use. The following paragraphs describe how Company currently uses Personal Information, but
Company may change or broaden its use at any time. As noted below, Company may update this policy from time
to time. Company may use Personal Information to provide promotional offers to individuals by means of email
advertising, telephone marketing, direct mail marketing, mobile marketing, online banner advertising, and
package stuffers, among other possible uses. With regard to telephone and mobile text marketing, Company
would obtain your prior express written consent to receive such marketing messages in accordance with
federal law.
2.2. Email and Unsubscribe Policy. Company uses Personal Information to provide Company or third party
promotional offers via email. Company may maintain separate email lists for different purposes. If an email
recipient wishes to stop receiving email from a particular list, they need to follow the instructions at the
end of the email message to unsubscribe from the particular list. To unsubscribe from all Company's email
lists, a person need only send an email to [email protected] with the subject
line "email unsubscribe" or similar language.
Company's unsubscribe process impacts only the future
delivery of electronic mailings disseminated by Company on its own behalf. You may still receive electronic
mailings sent on behalf of Third Parties and your Personal Information may still be shared with Third
Parties for use in offline marketing and data appends, including email appends unless you unsubscribe as
provided above.
You should also note that unsubscribing from Company's electronic mailings will not automatically
unsubscribe your information from any Third Party business associates and licensees of the data. Since Third
Party associates and licensee partners maintain separate databases from Company, and you will need to
unsubscribe from each source individually, if desired. This allows you the freedom to pick and choose which
subscriptions to maintain and which to discontinue.
2.3. Content of Email Messages. You may receive certain commercial email messages sent by third parties for
products which may be of interest to you. In such case, an Advertiser's name will appear in the "From:" and
the email will have a method at the bottom of the email to unsubscribe from that Advertiser. Company is not
responsible for the content or statutory compliance of third party emails sent to you.
2.4. Solicited Email. Company only sends email to individuals who have agreed on the Website to receive
email from Company or to individuals who have agreed on a Third Party website to receive email from Third
Parties. As such, Company does not send unsolicited email messages. As a result, United States statutes
requiring certain formatting for unsolicited email are not applicable to Company's email messages.
2.5. Targeted Advertising. Company may use Personal Information to target advertising to an individual.
When an individual is using the Internet, Company uses Technology Information to associate an individual
with that person's Personal Information, and Company attempts to show advertising for products and services

Information, and otherwise. Company may, at its discretion, target advertising by using email, direct mail,
and other means of communication to provide promotional offers.
2.6. Telemarketing. Company may use Personal Information to advertise, directly or indirectly, to
individuals using direct mail marketing or telemarketing using telephones and mobile phones. With regard to
telephone and mobile text marketing, Company would obtain your prior express written consent to receive such
marketing messages in accordance with federal law.
Further, if you are residing outside the United
States, by registering and using this Website, you acknowledge that the processing of your Personal
Information may involve the transfer of such Personal Information from within or outside the European
Economic Area ("EEA") to countries within or outside the EEA whose data protection regulation may not be as
stringent as that within the European Union. We may use Personal Information to provide the services you've
requested, including services that display customized content and advertising.
2.7. Wireless Addresses. If the e-mail address you provide to Company is a wireless e-mail address, you
agree to receive e-mail messages at such address from Company or its business associates (unless and until
you have elected not to receive such messages by following the instructions in the unsubscribe portion of
this policy). You understand that your wireless carrier's standard rates apply to these messages. You
represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the wireless device on which the e-mail messages will
be received, and that you are authorized to approve the applicable charges.
2.8. Use of Technology Information. Company may use Technology Information (1) to match a person's Personal
Information and Third Party List Information to other categories of Personal Information to make and improve
profiles of individuals, (2) to track a person's online browsing habits on the Internet, (3) to determine
which areas of Company's websites are most frequently visited. This information helps Company to better
understand the online habits of individuals so that Company can target advertising and promotions to them.
2.9. Profiles of Individuals. Company may use Personal Information to make a profile of an individual. A
profile can be created by combining Survey Information and Third Party List Information with other sources
of Personal Information such as information obtained from public databases.
2.10. Storage of Personal Information. Company stores the Personal Information in a database on its
computers. Company computers have security measures (such as a firewall and password protections) in place
to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under Company's control.
Notwithstanding such measures, Company cannot guarantee that its security measures will prevent its
computers from being illegally accessed, and the Personal Information on them stolen or altered.

Davidson, Theodore Fulton
30 Mar. 1845–11 June 1931
Theodore Fulton Davidson, lawyer and politician, was born in Haywood County, one of eight children of Allen T. and Adeline Howell Davidson. His father, also born in Haywood County, was a lawyer and president of the Miner's and Planter's Bank at Murphy, a member of the Secession Convention of 1861, and a representative from his district in the Confederate Congress. The Davidson family was Scot-Irish and moved to North Carolina from Pennsylvania. Theodore's great-grandfather, William Davidson—a Whig and Revolutionary War patriot—was instrumental in the formation of Buncombe County. His son, the grandfather of Theodore Fulton Davidson, settled on a farm in Haywood County after marrying the daughter of Captain David Vance, leader of Continental troops in the Revolutionary War.
Davidson began preparation for college by studying under Colonel Stephen Lee, cousin of Robert E. Lee, in Asheville. When the war broke out, he was a naval cadet at Annapolis; however, he returned to North Carolina on 16 Apr. 1861 to enlist as a private in the Buncombe Rifles, the first company organized in North Carolina west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At age sixteen, Davidson was one of the youngest members of the Confederate Army from North Carolina. When this company, headed by W. W. McDowell, disbanded, Davidson reenlisted as sergeant major in Company C, Thirty-ninth Regiment, under Colonel David Coleman. After the Battle of Murfreesboro, he became a commissioned aide to General Robert B. Vance, commander of the military district of Western North Carolina. Later, he served as assistant adjutant general on the brigade staff successively under Colonel John B. Palmer and General James G. Martin.
When peace came in 1865, Davidson resumed his studies under Colonel Lee; at the end of the year, he commenced a three-year study of law under Judge J. L. Bailey of Asheville. In 1868 he formed a partnership with his father that lasted until the latter's retirement in 1882. From 1867 to 1868 Theodore Davidson was the solicitor for Clay County, an office that was abrogated by the new Constitution. He served as chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Buncombe County from 1872 to 1882; he was also chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee for the Ninth District during the same period. In 1878 he was elected to the state senate and reelected two years later. In the legislature, he was instrumental in promoting the extension of railroad construction in North Carolina and, in 1879, was appointed director of the Western North Carolina Railroad for the state-at-large. In 1881 he was named a director of the Western North Carolina Insane Asylum.
In 1882 Davidson was appointed judge of the criminal court of Buncombe County, a post he held until his election to the state attorney general's office in 1884. He was reelected to another term as attorney general in 1888. In that position he succeeded in simplifying and improving the administration of criminal law in North Carolina. From 1891 to 1892 he also served in the state legislature, and in 1895 he was elected mayor of Asheville.
As an attorney, Davidson founded the law firm of Davidson, Bourne, & Parker and was an active member of both the North Carolina Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He served as counsel for the Wachovia Bank & Trust Company and was vice-president and counsel for the North Carolina Electric and Power Company. He also played an important role in clarifying the law of titles in North Carolina.
Affectionately called "General" by his friends, Davidson claimed he was a "pure Thomas Jefferson Southern rebel, and an unreconstructed democrat." He was a member of the Masonic Order and the Asheville Club. An Episcopal layman, he was chancellor of the western diocese of the Episcopal church. He was a trustee of St. Mary's School for Girls and a founder and trustee of Weaver College. He was also interested in history, and a number of his addresses were published. In addition, he contributed to Ashe's Biographical History and to Dowd's Life of Vance. In a pamphlet reprinted from the Asheville Citizen entitled "Reminiscences and Traditions of Western North Carolina," Davidson recalled historical anecdotes covering everything from the Buncombe Rifles to the Catawba grape.
On 6 Nov. 1866 Davidson married Sallie K. Alexander, who died in July 1887. On 12 Oct. 1893 he married Sally L. Carter of Raleigh. There were no children by either wife. Davidson was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Asheville.

Almaden Valley (often called just Almaden) is an affluent upper-middle-classneighborhood of about 37,000 in the southeastern portion of San Jose, USA, roughly equivalent to the 95120 ZIP Code. The neighborhood is south east of the town of Los Gatos, west of the Santa Teresa neighborhood of San Jose and south of Coleman Rd. at the southern end of the Blossom Hill neighborhood of San Jose. It is named after the New Almaden Quicksilver Mines, which were named after the mercury mine in (old) Almadén, Spain, and produced mercury that was used to process ore during the Gold Rush. The informal borders are generally Coleman Rd. at the northern end, McKean Rd. at the southern end, where the valley becomes mostly rural, and the town of Los Gatos to the west. The valley is located between the Santa Teresa Hills and the Santa Cruz Mountains, with Mount Umunhum to the west dominating the local geography.
Like its Spanish namesake, California's Almaden had a number of quicksilver mines. The mercury was used during gold extraction in the California Gold Rush, but the mines were closed in 1975 and have been converted into Almaden Quicksilver County Park. Despite the closure of the mines, there still remains a high mercury content in the nearby soil, creeks and rivers, and signs are posted alongside them warning people not to eat the fish. Many of the names in Almaden retain their mercury mine themes. For example, there are streets called Silver Lode Lane and Silver Mine Drive (the latter of which was renamed). Also, many places in Almaden still use the name Quicksilver.
As part of the Silicon Valley, the main industry in the neighborhood is now high technology research and development; IBM Almaden Research Center is located there. The neighborhoods consist of primarily upper-middle-class families, with homes owned by local professionals, scientists, athletes, and Silicon Valley executives. According to a 2011 estimate, the median income for a household in Almaden was $148,801 and the median income for a family was $182,981. The cost of a home in the neighborhood is generally in the $1 million-plus range.

Dear Lifehacker,
I never really took a close look at SkyDrive, but people tell me it's really good. Is the new OneDrive service worth looking at? Is it better than something like Dropbox or Box? Or is it just a name change?
Dear OneDriver,
The answer is: a bit of both. The new name was brought on as a result of a long legal battle, but apart from that, it really has come a long way in a really short period of time. If you've been a SkyDrive user, you've seen the updates roll in over the past several months. If you're new, you have some catching up to do. Whether or not it's worth ditching your current cloud storage company is another question entirely.
What OneDrive Does Well
Besides the new name, Microsoft OneDrive has picked up a few substantial updates in recent memory. Here are a few you should be aware of:
Syncing apps for all platforms, and all of them support auto-upload for photos: OneDrive has mobile apps for Windows Phone, Android, or iOS. Any photos you take are automatically backed up in your OneDrive account (but not automatically made public) and synced to your other devices.
Integration with Xbox: There's a OneDrive app specifically for Xbox, so if you have an Xbox 360 or Xbox One connected to your TV, media stored in your OneDrive account is available to you on the big screen. It'll even do things like video transcoding on the fly for you, which is awesome.
Automatically organized photo galleries: Not absolutely new, but OneDrive does a great job of organizing your photos into galleries based on when the photos were taken. You can share them as galleries, slideshows, or individually. You can also add captions or location tags, or post your photo or gallery right to Facebook.
Integration with Outlook: When composing a new message in Outlook, you have the option to attach files from OneDrive. Your recipient will get a thumbnail preview, which is also a link to view it on OneDrive. That integration doesn't work the other way—incoming attachments cannot be easily routed to OneDrive.
Tight integration with Office Online: It's not exactly new, but OneDrive integrates with Office Online the way Google Drive integrates with Google Docs. Office documents open in their Office Online counterparts. Share them out, and you can collaborate on them in real time with other Office Online users.
Referrals for friends: Microsoft will add an additional 500MB of storage to your OneDrive account for every user you refer to them. You can earn up to 5GB on top of whatever you already have from referrals.
Start (by default) with 7GB for free, get 8GB more if you jump through a few hoops: Putting aside previous giveaways, new users signing up today will start with 7GB. If you want another 8GB on top of that (or on top of whatever you already have), you can get 3GB for auto-uploading photos from your mobile devices and installing the desktop clients, and the rest in referrals.
People heavily vested in Microsoft's tools and technologies are the people who should definitely use OneDrive. If your company revolves around Microsoft Office and Outlook, you're a happy Windows Phone user, or everyone in your office is running Windows (or better yet, Windows 8), then OneDrive's integration with all of that makes it pretty compelling. OneDrive is pretty firmly baked into Windows 8 (to the point where its tricky to remove if you don't want it), so there's special appeal for people who use Windows 8 and like it.
If you're looking for more storage beyond what you can get for free, its pricing plans are competitive. However, feature parity isn't really a reason to migrate, so if you don't see anything here that really appeals to you, you may be better off with what you already have.
What OneDrive Doesn't Do
Beyond that however, there isn't too much to justify switching, although there's plenty to justify adding. OneDrive is solid, feature packed, and of course, more storage is always a nice thing. If you like to use different cloud services for different things, it can be a great addition to the family. It's not perfect however. It's missing the rich third-party development environment that Dropbox and other tools have thanks to their open APIs. You do get versioning and version history, but restoring deleted files isn't as easy as it is in Dropbox, and there's no built-in encryption beyond SSL in-transit (Dropbox, for example, encrypts in-transit and at-rest.) Referrals are capped at 5GB, like we mentioned, and from what we can tell there's no way to earn more space without paying for it.
If you're a photographer and love sharing your photos, think of OneDrive is kind of a hybrid between our comparison between Google+ and Dropbox for photo hosting. Like Dropbox, as long as you're syncing, you have direct access to your files on your computer. Like Google+, you have rich sharing tools on the web that are snappy, and give you privacy controls. However, OneDrive doesn't have the editing tools that make Google+ useful for photographers. It doesn't have any editing tools, aside from rotate, move, and copy. The galleries look great, but don't expect to do much with your photos.
A Note About Privacy
We should note, however, that OneDrive's privacy policy didn't change along with the name. We mentioned this when we talked about cloud storage services that protect your privacy, but Microsoft is well known for giving itself broad rights to peek into your account and rummage through your digital belongings. From that article:
On the other end of the spectrum, Microsoft's SkyDrive has regularly come under scrutiny by privacy advocates. Microsoft is known to scan its users' files, sometimes
with disastrous results
. In 2011,
a German photographer had his Microsoft accounts restricted
because Microsoft deemed some of his professional work "questionable.
Another user had his accounts closed
even though the content he had stored was in a private folder, accessible only to him.
Of course, you give them that right when you sign up for a OneDrive account, but their approach goes much further than Dropbox, Box, or most other cloud storage companies (except perhaps, Apple, which gives itself similar rights). We would suggest that if you do choose to use OneDrive, be careful what you store there, use a separate account from the same Microsoft account you use for mail or Xbox, or consider encrypting your data.
We hope that helps you with your decision, OneDriver! The new OneDrive is definitely useful, packed with features you would expect from any cloud storage service, and getting the leg up with a good bit of storage from the outset makes it even more worth using. If you're already a heavy Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive user, we can't see a reason to switch unless you're taking the plunge into all things Microsoft, but there's no harm in signing up—as long as you're careful about what you put there. Good luck!

Strep-resistant fire blight found in New York orchards
(PhysOrg.com) -- Cornell plant pathologists have issued a warning to New York apple and pear growers after discovering a strain of fire blight that is resistant to such traditional treatments as the antibiotic streptomycin.
For 50 years, the disease has been kept at bay using the antibiotic, but streptomycin-resistant strains of the disease were recently found in four locations in Wayne and Ontario counties.
"This is a serious situation that we need to manage effectively. The rapid identification of this outbreak positions us to implement a coordinated plan leading up to next year's growing season," said Herb Aldwinckle, professor of plant pathology and plant-microbe biology at Cornell's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (NYSAES) in Geneva.
In coordination with colleagues at NYSAES and Cornell Cooperative Extension, Aldwinckle is developing guidelines growers can follow to reduce the threat. Upcoming sessions at the Fruit and Vegetable Expo and CCE Fruit Schools in several counties will also provide growers with opportunities to learn more about the outbreak and possible solutions.
Fire blight is caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, earning its name from the scorched appearance of infected leaves and branches. Its symptoms include blackening of flowers and young leaves, resulting in crop loss and even death of trees.
Strep-resistant fire blight was first identified in California in 1971, and since then it has been found in Washington, Oregon, Missouri and southwest Michigan. Diseased nursery trees from Michigan were the source of a limited outbreak in New York in 2002. At that time, Aldwinckle and colleagues, in close collaboration with growers, ensured that all infected trees were destroyed and surrounding farms were checked.
That eradication appears to have been effective. "For the past 10 years, extension staff have sent in samples for routine surveillance, and we hadn't found it again," Aldwinckle said.
This current infection was first spotted in Wolcott, N.Y., where a persistent suspected fire blight infection evaded a streptomycin spray regime. Samples were immediately brought to Aldwinckle's lab.
Sampling was necessarily limited in late fall, so the full extent of the outbreak will be unclear until additional samples are studied, but the latest results indicate there are several outbreaks of strep-resistant fire blight in Wayne and Ontario counties.
Aldwinckle said the fact that one of the sites is a nursery does complicate the management plan. Fortunately, that nursery has a strict rogueing program -- in which infected plants are removed from the soil and destroyed -- that should minimize the chance of spread, he added.
However, Aldwinckle noted that some infections might not be immediately visible, so there's a possibility that a small number of trees with the strain were inadvertently shipped to growers.
He advises all growers to examine their trees carefully for any symptoms of fire blight that may develop after planting. These recommendations apply to all trees purchased, with particular attention for those from New York and Michigan nurseries, where strep-resistant fire blight is known to occur.
He is also exploring other ways to eradicate the blight.
"The antibiotic kasugamycin is as effective as streptomycin, and in some ways it is a more appropriate antibiotic because it is not used in human or veterinary medicine," said Aldwinckle. "Kerik Cox, an assistant professor of plant pathology at Cornell, is leading an application for a Section 18 emergency registration from the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] for growers to use Kasumin [commercial kasugamycin] next spring."

In an interview with CNBC in November, Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined a growing list of tech executives who support universal basic income as a possible solution to the widespread unemployment that automation will likely cause.
Universal basic income is a system in which all citizens receive a standard amount of money each month to cover basic expenses like food, rent, and clothes.
On Monday, Musk doubled down on his initial support for the concept.
"I think we'll end up doing universal basic income," Musk told the crowd at the World Government Summit in Dubai, according to Fast Company. "It's going to be necessary."
The economic forecasts for the next several decades don't bode well for the American worker. In March, President Barack Obama warned Congress about the looming threat of job loss, based on several reports that found that as much as 50% of jobs could be replaced by robots by 2030.
The downside of that projection is that millions of people would wind up out of a job — a possibility Musk discussed at the summit.
"There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better," he said. "I want to be clear. These are not things I wish will happen; these are things I think probably will happen."
Executives who have endorsed UBI — a group that includes Y Combinator President Sam Altman and Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes — also say automation would dramatically increase a society's wealth.
"With automation, there will come abundance," Musk said. "Almost everything will get very cheap."
That money theoretically could be redistributed to give people financial security even if they didn't work. UBI advocates often point to reduced costs as a reason the system could be cheaper to implement than most might assume.
"Because a very small amount of people have an almost unimaginable amount of money at the very top, a basic income could actually decrease almost everyone else's income tax burdens except for theirs," Scott Santens, a UBI advocate, wrote for The Huffington Post.
Musk retains some skepticism about the effects of UBI. He has voiced concerns about what would happen to people's sense of purpose if they had less of a need — or no need — to work.

Batelco demonstrated market leadership in Bahrain with its exceptional mobile network quality by achieving average mobile data download speed of 158Mbps in December 2021, which placed Batelco's speed in top 10 globally for download speeds available, according to an Ookla Case Study published on its website this week.
Ookla is the global leader in broadband and mobile speed testing and web-based network diagnostic applications. During Q3-Q4 2020, Batelco received the Speedtest by Ookla Award as Bahrain's Top Rated Mobile Network Operator, and throughout 2021 Batelco's high average download speed consistently lifted Bahrain's Global Index Ranking, where Bahrain ended 2021 ranked as the 18th fastest nation in the world.
A country's mobile speed ranking is calculated on the average speed achieved by all operators in the country, based on mobile speed tests carried out by real people. If the mobile internet speed ranking for Bahrain is to be improved, other operators will need to invest in boosting their performance.
Commenting on the Batelco Case Study by Ookla, Batelco General Manager Networks Rashid Mohamed said, "We are extremely proud of driving Batelco to its position in the top 10 globally with the highest mobile speeds."
"Batelco's continuous investment in developing its mobile infrastructure, including 5G reflects our commitment to providing the best quality services for customers and this helps to support Bahrain's positioning among world leading countries for telecommunications services," added Mr. Mohamed.
In a world where super-fast mobile connectivity is no longer a luxury but a necessity as digitization surges in growth, the availability of world class connectivity is the driving force for countries that want to be positioned as a digital hub and attract investment. Elevating Bahrain's mobile network speed is an achievable goal, but it is reliant on all local operators supporting this aim, not just Batelco.

A fort in The Gambia that was instrumental in stopping the slave trade has been given a new museum, the Daily Observer reports.
Fort Bullen was one of two forts at the mouth of the River Gambia, placed there in 1826 to stop slave ships from sailing out into the Atlantic. It stands on the north bank of the river, and along with Fort James on the south bank constitutes a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fort Bullen has been open to visitors for some time and tourism officials hope the new museum will add to its attractiveness as a historic site.
The museum was financed by the British High Commission in The Gambia. The country used to be a British colony. The British Empire abolished slavery in 1807 and soon took steps to eradicate it throughout its domains. Of course, before that time the empire made huge profits from the slave trade, with the River Gambia being one of its major trading centers for human flesh. One hopes this aspect of British history isn't ignored in the new museum.
