As someone who has used the services of Georgia Pack and Load in over 8 (Wow, can it be that many!!??!!) moves in the course of 15 years, I proudly declare that I am more than a satisfied customer, but a solid referral source whenever the opportunity presents itself. I am always met by an enthusiastic and hard working team of movers who are obviously there to satisfy me in the process. The possessions that I have acquired over this course of time are always treated with the utmost care, and I am confident that family heirlooms and antiques as well as paintings and other valuables are in good hands. Please feel free to have anyone contemplating Georgia Pack and Load for their next move to contact me. It would be a pleasure to confidently make the recommendation.
Steve Shepherd, President
Hi, Mr. Herrin and Mr. Ahlemann. I wanted to write a quick note stating my appreciation for two of your movers--Hollie and Marvin. They moved my parents last Wednesday, and I was impressed by their professionalism and respect for my family and our possessions. On such a hot day during the dog days of summer, it would have been easy for them to do a less than stellar job. Instead, they did great work and I would definitely use your company again.
Beth Smith
Mr. Ralph Herrin
July 19, 2010
Dear Mr. Herrin,
On July 6th, my family used Georgia Pack and Load for the fourth time and it was, once again, a pleasure to work with your company. The purpose of this move was to relocate my mother, Jo Allegood, from her home of 23 years to an independent living facility. As you can imagine, it was not an easy thing to do for an emotional standpoint. However, your employees made it so very easy for us all.
Several weeks before the move, I contacted Read and, in this initial phone call, I was reminded why I had called him again for our moving needs. He was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions thoroughly. He even took the time to meet with my mother in person to reassure her about any of her concerns regarding the move. Read is a tremendous asset to your company.
Hollie was the head of the crew and he, along with 3 other delightful young men, was outstanding in every way. They were polite, patient and kind. They had to make three stops to deliver furniture and at each place they worked quickly and accurately. They did everything that we asked and, in my opinion, went above and beyond in helping me and my mother place her furniture in her new home. Their attitudes were outstanding in that they all stated that they would not leave until we were completely satisfied; and we were.
I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to work with personnel the caliber of your company. It is such a breath of fresh air to get such personalized customer service. You have very valuable employees and resources in all of the individuals.
I trust that you will pass my comments along to Read, Hollie and his crew so that they can be commended to continue doing a good job, as they do that naturally.
Thank you again and I would welcome the opportunity to recommend your company at any point.
Good Day All,
My name is Trina Barwicks, Georgia Pack and Load moved me on Saturday, August 13, 2011 from 123 Greenwood Trace in Fairburn, Ga to 3105 Peachtree Landing Circle in Fairburn, Ga. I must tell you that this was a perfect move. I was truly shocked at the professionalism of your team. The crew was absolutely wonderful, courteous, professional, respectful and friendly. They truly left me wanting to tell everyone I know about Georgia Pack and Load. The complete move took 3 1/2 hours which was much less than I thought. I thought my large treadmill in a small section for manuver would pose a difficult task but your well trained team removed it without a big sweat. They unhooked and hooked my washer machine and dryer which as you know woman have difficulty with. They set my bedroom up without a hitch. Everything was packed and delivered without anything being broke or missing. I am still amazed and continuously thanking God for leading me to your company. Again, your team was the perfect expression of well trained and experienced people. Thank you so much for such an awesome experience.

Ubisoft has formally showcased the next Operator on its way to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, under the upcoming Operation Para Bellum expansion. Tailing the recent unveiling of the hologram-wielding "Alibi," we've now received our first official look at "Maestro."
Following the release of two attacking Operators with Operation Chimera, this season is balanced with a pair of new Italian defenders. Maestro places a focus on heavy firepower, packing brutal gadgets and a personality to match. Alongside a brief background outlined on the official game site, Maestro has also received a 30-second CGI teaser trailer.
While Maestro's full reveal is still to come, numerous reputable leaks break down what to expect in-game. Game files have pointed toward the inclusion of a "Barrage" ability, featuring one deployable "evil eye" fully-automatic turret, remotely controlled through a camera. The CETME Ameli light machine gun is also set to make its first appearance in-game, as his primary firearm.
Maestro will debut under a wider expansion on its way to Rainbow Six Siege, known as Operation Para Bellum. Other contents include the new multiplayer map "Villa", an upgrade to the existing Clubhouse map and much more. For a look at what to expect from Operation Para Bellum, check out our in-depth breakdown of announcements and leaks so far.
A full reveal of Maestro and other Operation Para Bellum content is expected during the official Pro League Finals between May 19 and May 20. The expansion is estimated to release on June 5 or June 6, based on recent announcements.

While the European Union has a proud record in keeping the peace amongst its members, it always feels like hostilities are breaking out again when it's time to talk about the budget. There were already signs of mounting tension when EU leaders gathered in Brussels for their summit on February 23, with battle lines forming over the next big budget fight. As the leaders argue about how to fill the hole left by the departing British, they will have to answer existential questions about how they want to spend their money after 2020.
The Brussels summit was just the first skirmish in what is likely to be a long and bitter budget battle.
European Council President Donald Tusk said the 27 leaders present – Britain's Theresa May was not invited – approached the budget "with open minds, rather than red lines." But the other leaders were already hinting at the combats to come. German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that cuts will have to be made to "bureaucratic" policies, like agriculture. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the EU needs to modernise existing programmes to find more money. "This is the start of an intense and difficult process," cautioned Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel.
The next budget package does not begin until 2021, and it is not yet clear if it will last for five or seven years. Officially known as the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), and also called the financial perspective, it is worth around 1% of EU gross national income. This year, the EU is set to spend €145 billion.
The budget always provokes wrangling, notably between net payers and beneficiaries. Some issues should be easier now. For example, Brexit means that the EU can scrap the rebate, the complex offset system set up in the 1980s to compensate the UK. But there are three reasons why this time is particularly tricky:
- The first is the Brexit hole. Despite this, the Commission wants to raise the spending rate from 1.0% of GNI to 1.15%. The European Parliament wants 1.3%. The poorer, eastern European states want their richer neighbours to plug the annual revenue gap. The Netherlands, Austria and Nordic EU countries, all hawkish net contributors, argue that a smaller EU should lead to a smaller budget. The biggest net contributor, Germany, says it is ready to pay more. EU Budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger says half the financial gap "should be covered by cuts" and the remainder "by additional money from net payers". Various ideas have been floating for new revenue sources, like corporate taxes, money generated by the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme, the profits from the European Central Bank, and even a plastics tax.
- Second, the EU's changing priorities. Agriculture and cohesion spending is falling and will fall further in the next budget, not least because of other priorities: migration, internal and external security and possibly new tools to strengthen the euro (the Commission wants a eurozone special "stabilisation" budget for times of need). Budget hawks talk about 'modernisation', focusing on investment and technology. Italian Finance Minister Pier Carlo Padoan and Germany's Peter Altmaier jointly called for a budget to finance "truly European public goods" like managed borders, better cybersecurity and cohesion. There has even been talk of earmarking revenues, reserving them by law in advance for specific purposes, a measure used historically by the US federal government.
- Third, because there is now talk of penalizing some of the net beneficiaries, notably Poland and Hungary, for being bad EU pupils. The Commission and other governments have suggested withholding funds from Warsaw and Budapest over their recent moves to influence courts, media and other independent institutions. France has gone further, demanding explicit 'conditionality' not only between EU funding and treaty commitments but also for those who slash taxes and labour rules to undercut their European neighbours. Germany says it should apply to countries that refuse to host migrants. This is the most politically thorny issue. The Commission has already opened proceedings on Poland's controversial reforms, which could see Warsaw stripped of its voting rights. As Poland is the EU's biggest budget recipient, this could be a more effective tool to settle disputes.
There is no denying that this adds up to a series of hard choices. How do we deal with them?
The first priority is to raise its budget. If the EU is to remain ambitious, it must have more money to spend, even if it is a modest rise. It's a law of capitalism that you cannot just stand still. If the EU continues to spend the same as the past seven years, it will be left behind the rest of the world.
Equally, we have to think harder about where the spending goes. The EU has – perhaps surprisingly – weathered a few storms over the past financial framework. As the cliché goes, the time for building houses is when the sun shines. There are so many better priorities that we should be spending money on, from migration management to research, from the Erasmus exchange programme to the European Defence Fund.
We also need to think about the European added value of our budgets. It may be sacrilegious, but we should ask more searching questions about how efficient our funding is. For example, does the money going to Polish farmers help reduce disparities?
It is nature of the EU that we pool resources. But it is for a purpose, and that is to level the playing field. If it does not produce results, then the system has to change. And, as the conditionality debate shows, we cannot keep pumping money into countries if they become less and less democratic.
The Commission is now set to propose a detailed budget in May. Officially, it still wants to settle the budget before the European Parliament elections, in May/June 2019, but that would mean wrapping it up before last Parliament session, in April – a very tall order given that the previous negotiations took more than two years.
More important than meeting that deadline, the EU should use the negotiations to really change its thinking. A bigger budget would be a good result. But the EU should go further and seek a better budget.

The television landscape is nowadays dotted with more choices than ever before. Part of the reason is the explosion of original programming on cable and premium channels. Those channels are neither confined to the same standards and practices as broadcast networks, nor are they given the same amount of time requirements.
Broadcast networks have traditionally given their shows orders of 22 episodes (or more) per season, which can leave the programs a bit hamstrung creatively. Where a cable drama could fit a season's worth of stories into 10 to 13 tightly written episodes, the network drama has to stretch its storylines over double the amount of airtime.
Consequently, in some cases, the networks have started moving toward a model that is more similar to cable, with shows having shorter seasons than we're used to with broadcast. But this means a lot of new terms are now bandied about regarding network shows that run less than 22 episodes — and the new terms have even confused some of the network executives.
At the 2014 TCA winter press tour, NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt was asked about the differences between miniseries, event series and limited series, and even he wasn't entirely clear.
Greenblatt ribbed CBS and "Under the Dome" about calling the show an "event series," but then oh no, wait, "now it's coming back for a second season." But he adds in all seriousness, "['American Horror Story'] is a continuing series with the same cast, but they play different characters. That's a limited series with a twist. So we grapple with those kinds of definitions."
Greenblatt's colleague Jennifer Salke provides a little more clarification, adding that "a lot of the limited series are coming through the series department, or we're hearing things that feel like they lend themselves to less than 22 [episodes] but could go on season after season. Miniseries are usually stories or books or based on something that has a very close-ended feel."
Zap2it would like to offer you what we've gleaned as the differences between these new ways of disseminating shows to the viewing public.
The Primetime Emmys defines a miniseries as being more than six hours or in two or more parts. It also must be close-ended. Famous miniseries include "Roots" and "Band of Brothers." Miniseries aren't so much literal "mini series," in that they are small versions of the on-going 22-episode series that networks put on the air, but more like extended TV movies, which is perhaps why they are included in the same awards category as TV movies.
Limited Series
Limited series and miniseries are not interchangeable. Limited series indicates that a network sees potential in a show to continue for many seasons, but the actual seasons themselves needn't be 22 episodes long. It can also refer to a show the network wants to try out in smaller doses with the possibility of renewal based on how well it does in the ratings.
"Under the Dome" is an example of a limited series that worked — it was never designed to be one season and done, but if the ratings hadn't been there, CBS would not have renewed it. The ratings were good, however, so CBS ordered a second (and still only 13-episode) season. "Killer Women" is an example of a limited series that isn't working. ABC ordered eight episodes, but the ratings are terrible, so it's ending earlier than scheduled and not likely be picked up. But it wasn't intended from the get-go to be a miniseries.
Event Series
This category seems to be more of a marketing ploy. Any channel can call any show an "event series," but that doesn't mean it's a miniseries and it doesn't mean it can't be renewed.
For example, NBC has called "Rosemary's Baby" an event series, but that's really just a miniseries version of the famous horror movie. The Peacock also called "The Million Second Quiz" an event series, because it was a two-week-long game show that aired over multiple nights each week.
FOX has also called its upcoming "Wayward Pines" an event series, but if the ratings are "Under the Dome"-like, it's a safe bet it will similarly be extended like the CBS drama was last summer.
Anthology Series
Greenblatt calls "American Horror Story" a "limited series with a twist." We don't actually think that's true. "AHS" is not a limited series. It was always designed to be a regular series (13 episodes for cable shows is very much the norm) that follows an anthology format — new characters, new setting, new plots every season, but with more or less the same group of actors. Think of it like a repertory theatre company on TV.
It's also a growing trend: HBO's "True Detective" plans to follow the same format for future seasons, and FX may do the same with its adaptation of "Fargo," which premieres in April.
The wrench "AHS" has thrown in the works is that it enters itself in the Emmys category for miniseries. There are some who believe it should have to be in the same category as regular series, but since each season of "AHS" is a self-contained story, each individual season can be considered a miniseries at the Emmys.
Does this help clear anything up? We hope so, but one thing's for sure — as long as TV continues churning out so much quality content, we don't really care what the networks call them.

December 15th, 2016 (Vancouver, British Columbia)
Today is an historic one for the four member communities of the Northern Shuswap. After nearly two years of waiting anxiously since the work on the Northern Secwepemc te Qelmucw (NStQ) Agreement-in-Principle (AiP) was completed, the NStQ Treaty Negotiator and entire treaty team is optimistic and encouraged with today's initialling of the Agreement-in-Principle by representatives of Canada, British Columbia and the NStQ.
The four Northern Shuswap First Nations of the NStQ Treaty Group, through the auspices of the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council, have been negotiating a modern-day treaty with the Governments of British Columbia and Canada since 1993. After the completion of the AiP, a referendum was held in each of the four NStQ communities in February and April of this year, with a narrow membership majority positively voting to move forward into Final Negotiations (Stage Five) of the six-stage treaty process, which now continues into its 24th year.
Robert Moraes, NStQ Treaty Negotiator –
"BC and Canada have agreed to initial our NStQ AiP today, December 15th, 2016. It has been two long years since the AiP was completed, with this being a final step to moving forward into the next stage of treaty negotiations. After today's initialing, the AiP will then move to the Federal and Provincial Cabinets for final approval. Once done, this opens up more in-depth negotiations and funding to help NStQ reach a Final Agreement. The Final Agreement will then be voted on by NStQ membership."
Gavin Fitch, Canada Chief Negotiator –
"This is an important milestone and we are very pleased we have gotten to this point. Canada remains committed to seeing through to a successful final agreement."
Mark Lofthouse, British Columbia Chief Negotiator –
"This initialing reflects a commitment on the AiP document that we take it forward for consideration to our Principle."
Jerry Lampert, Commissioner, BC Treaty Commission –
"On behalf of the BC Treaty Commission, we congratulate the NStQ, BC and Canada on reaching this important milestone on the path to reconciliation. We look forward to Stage 5 Negotiations, leading to a Final Agreement."
Robert Phillips, First Nations Summit Task Group –
"I would like to congratulate the NStQ on the initialing of their Agreement in Principle. A great deal of work by their treaty team, along with extensive consultation with membership over many years, has brought NStQ to this historic day. I look forward to the day when the hard work and challenges of negotiations between Canada, BC and NStQ result in the successful ratification of an NStQ Treaty that will positively impact community members with a prosperous, self-governing future."
The four communities which make up the NStQ are: Canim Lake Indian Band (Tsq'escen' First Nation), Soda Creek Indian Band (Xat'sūll First Nation), Williams Lake Indian Band (T'exelc First Nation), and Canoe Creek/Dog Creek Indian Band (Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation).

ELDER PATRIOT – Cable television has long been a repository for left-wing cultural rot. Channels promoting revisionist history, sexual decadence, and the advancement of the entire progressive agenda have populated the cable landscape since its inception. Cable has only been able to maintain the large number of worthless and duplicitous channels because of "bundling," the practice of only offering certain desirable channels in tiered packaging that included many undesirable channels. These channels often provided messaging inappropriate for even young adults.
MTV, VH-1, Comedy Central, CNN, MSNBC and a host of other low-rated, left wing networks would never be able to maintain their presence if people had a choice about paying for them. It is only by forcing us to pay for their services by threatening to deprive us of services we do want like Fox News Channel or ESPN that the liberal media messaging machine can survive.
It now appears that the scam of bundled cable may be starting to crack. As the economy continues to weaken more people are examining their household expenses and have concluded that cable bills approaching $200 per month is untenable. Customers may be willing to pay $6 each month for ESPN but not the much higher amount that bundled services command to meet all of the other channels' subscription fees.
In the past year alone 3.2 million subscribers have cut their subscriptions services of bundled services that include ESPN. This represents a loss of revenue for ESPN close to $250 million. For the industry the total lost sales is in the billions of dollars.
Parent company Disney has ordered ESPN to cut $100 million from its budget due to subscriber defections. To accomplish this ESPN is planning on cutting 350 jobs. Maybe they'll do us all a favor and focus more on sports and less on social commentary where they have a decidedly liberal bent.
It seems the liberal plan is imploding on itself as the weakening economy that has resulted from their policies is now making it more difficult for them to continue their mental and psychological conditioning of the American people.
If enough people continue this trend we may see the end of bundling and the ability to choose your channels a la carte. After all, would you shop at a supermarket that forced you to buy 3 things you didn't want in order to get something you do want? In any other business that's called a shakedown.
Good for you America.

Kongsberg Maritime Ship Systems (KMSS) has been awarded the contract to supply a ship-handling simulator to the Portuguese Navy. The contract consists of several naval bridge cubicles in two different locations, connected via a fibre optic network. The main ship handling bridge simulator will be installed at the Navys tactical centre and will replicate the bridge of the Vasco de Gama, MEKO-class frigate. Each of the two training sites will be equipped with differently configured bridges providing the capacity to train several bridge crews operating in the same exercise scenario, simultaneously.
The delivery will include the latest technology in system architecture on all levels, including multiple simulator sites, a wide area network using fibre optics and object oriented programming. In addition to the bridge facilities, a simulated OPS room will be installed at the tactical centre to provide tactical information to each scenario. The system allows interface and interaction with future training simulators such as tactical trainers, flights simulation and other military training devices.KMSS has an ongoing relationship with the Portuguese Navy, having supplied the worlds first combined diesel and gas engine room simulator based on the Vasco de Gama in 1997.

From Cradle to Grave: The Human Face of Poverty in America
Atheneum, 1993 - Social Science - 245 pages
In this eloquent and revealing book, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Freedman offers the first comprehensive view of poverty in a generation, showing us beyond the shadow of any possible doubt that the poor are no longer confined to some Other America or so-called "underclass". Drawing on the true stories of people at every stage of life - infancy, childhood, adolescence, the family, midlife, aging, and dying - he has written a singular book about hardship, about courage, and, in the face of incalculable odds, considerable hope. To do so, Freedman went to the people who have been shunned, visiting prenatal clinics, schools, job-training centers, and nursing homes, he asked, "What helps, what hurts, what works?" Their responses give poverty a recognizable human face, as he shows us children struggling to grow up, families fighting to keep their homes, displaced workers seeking training, retirees struggling to age and die with dignity. In his three years of investigating and recording, Freedman also discovered a surprising and, in many cases, heartening number of individuals and organizations already working to eliminate suffering. It is one of this book's achievements to show how innovative programs, funded on shoestring budgets, can help seemingly hopeless people cope with tribulation and transform their lives. Building on lessons from all parts of the country, Freedman suggests further coherent solutions that are affordable in this deficit-conscious era. A major work of reportage, From Cradle to Grave is also a timely, deeply informed call for change.

Henrik Ibsen
From Conservapedia
Henrik Ibsen (20 March 1828 – 23 May 1906) was a Norwegian playwright whose dramatic works are considered to have inspired the modernist theater movement. He dealt with then-touchy social issues such as political corruption and sexually-transmitted diseases.
Perhaps his best known work is A Doll's House (1879) which is considered one of the earliest examples of feminism in written theater.[1]
- This man Torvald treats his wife like she was his plaything. He lavishes all sorts of exepensive gifts on her, like every day was Christmas. Finally she just can't stand any more. (as described on The Donna Reed Show)
Another influential work, Hedda Gabler (1890) featured an unhappily-married protagonist who steals a drunken writer's manuscript and provides the weapon by which he commits suicide (current advertising on the New Times radio station WQXR describes this character in glowing, positive terms).

Ransomware has become one of the most profitable cybercrime verticals in recent years. Complex infection mechanisms and highly profitable affiliation schemes brought operators more than $1 billion in 2016.
GandCrab, the latest family of ransomware, started to claim victims in late January, demanding exorbitant prices (ranging from $400 to $700,000) in exchange for the decryptor.
Fortunately, the 50,000 users facing ransom demands can get their data back as Bitdefender has teamed up with Europol, the Romanian Police (IGPR) [announcement is in Romanian] and the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) [announcement is in Romanian] to release a free GandCrab decryption utility.
We are proud to provide our technical expertise in fighting cyber-crime as part of our long-standing mission: to protect the world's Internet users and organizations.
The free tool, provided by Bitdefender, the Romanian Police, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) and Europol, works for all known versions of GandCrab and is now ready for download on nomoreransom.org, an online portal available in 28 languages, and in the ransomware decryption tools section right here.

Kaleidoscope World (Deluxe Reissue)
Flying Nun
Kaleidoscope World is not just the starting point for The Chills, but an insight into the world of New Zealand guitar-pop and the Dunedin Sound an influence which carries on to indie-pop bands around the world today. Originally released in 1986, the compilation captures the best of the magical early period recordings of The Chills and simply oozes excitement and possibility. Now re-issued on a deluxe 2xLP and 2xCD set, it will feature six bonus, b-sides, demos and live tracks plus an expanded gatefold cover with photos, posters and liner notes from journalist Martin Aston.
It was a sound in part born out of geography and location, with the spaciousness and remoteness of New Zealand itself matched with the glowing songs of chief Chill - Martin Phillipps - a music savant that somehow wrangles psychedelic pop and folk, Syd Barrett and Brian Wilson, all with Phillipps innate ability to sound both joyous and sad within a moment.
What was initially 8 songs (later expanded to 18 and now 24) have a unique bittersweet innocence from the title track through to the happy - sad aura of Frantic Drift and Rolling Moon. And amongst all the fragile melodies mixed with a childlike wonder, is Pink Frost for many The Chills most beloved track an eerie, haunting track, the bands first 'hit,' perhaps the Flying Nun equivalent of Love Will Tear Us Apart. Surrounded by the aura of death following a dream Phillipps had, it also touches on a sense of desolation and yearning for a connection to the wider world and is no better example of the marvelous songwriting ability of this band from the world's southernmost point.

'The world's last great source of carbon-based fuel'?
Beneath some permafrost and stretches of ocean floor lie frozen methane hydrates. If we can find an efficient way to mine this stuff, we may have a new fuel source on our hands. Japan, which has long searched for a homespun energy source is leading research in this field.
But caution is urged. "Disturbing the hydrates" could lead to a chain reaction causing seaborne natural disasters like tsunamis. Scotland is thought to have been hit by a tsunami 8000 years ago after a "sudden release" of gas from beneath the sea floor.

Many species of crustaceans live in Illinois, most of them in or near the water. See if you can match the
drawings on the left with the names and descriptions of the groups of common crustaceans that can be
found in Illinois. Write the letter of each animal in the blank on the left of its matching description below.
1. Fairy shrimp (anostracans) appear to swim upside-down, with their many swimming legs reaching upward from the body. They only appear after spring rains and must complete their life cycle before the pools dry up. The eggs withstand drying and freezing to hatch when the area floods again, sometimes years later.
2. Crayfish (decapods) have 10 pairs of legs. The first pair has large, pincherlike claws or chelae. They resemble lobsters.
3. Freshwater shrimp (decapods) have 10 pairs of legs like their crayfish cousins, but the pincherlike claws are much smaller. They are slightly flattened laterally (from side-to-side).
4. Water fleas (cladocerans, such as Daphnia) are round, tiny crustaceans that swim with their long antennae. They give birth to live young, which can be seen inside the transparent shell of the mother.
5. Water fleas (copepods, such as Cyclops) are tiny crustaceans that are difficult to see without a microscope, and are considered plankton. They have large heads that taper to an elongate body. There is often a single eye on the head.
6. Seed shrimp (ostracods) are tiny crustaceans that have their entire body enclosed within a clamlike shell. The shell has two halves that are hinged along the back. They often crawl along sediment or vegetation in water. They sometimes swim in the water column by beating their antennae.
7. Pill bugs and sowbugs (isopods) are either aquatic or terrestrial. The terrestrial species are usually found in moist areas, such as under logs and leaf litter. The pill bugs can roll into a ball when disturbed.
8. Scuds or side swimmers (amphipods) are small, shrimplike crustaceans that burrow in loose sediment and plant debris in still water. They are very flat from side to side and scuttle along through the sediment on their sides.

Fair Trade and Organic Agriculture
Fair Trade and Organic Agriculture
A Winning Combination?
Συγγραφέας: P. Parvathi, U. Grote, Hermann Waibel
Σελίδες: 208
Σχήμα: 17 X 25
Εξώφυλλο: Σκληρό
Έτος έκδοσης: 2017
The markets for organic and fair trade certified commodities are growing rapidly, with environmentally sound and more equitable certification systems likely to offer benefits for both small-scale farmers and society at large. Despite much debate about their contribution to sustainability, there has been little scientific analysis, so it is vital to assess if it is technically and economically feasible to meet growing consumer demands regarding food safety, quality and ethics through smallholder and marginal producers. Overall, there is a need to explore the potential of these certification systems as emerging areas in research and development cooperation.
This book includes:
- Worldwide case studies (from the supply side in Asia, Africa, and Latin America; and from the demand side in Europe and North America) to put theory into practice.
- Analyses of sustainable development and poverty reduction through organic and fair trade markets.
- Insights into the conditions where it is beneficial for developing country smallholder producers to adopt fair trade and organic certification systems.
- Investigation into whether consumers will pay more for a product that is both organic and fair trade certified.
This book is an important read for researchers and students in agricultural and development economics, and it is also a useful resource for policy makers and practitioners involved in organic and fair trade agriculture.

Ant killer turned ant savior/
Our home has been invaded by ants. Today one was crawling across the table.
My three year old daughter, Clara, spotted it first.
Then my wife, Elysha, saw it. She grabbed a napkin and reached for the ant. Just as she grabbed hold of it and squashed it in the napkin, Clara said, "That baby ant came inside because it was cold outside."
Then she looked at Elysha, an apparent baby ant killer, her face full of confusion and worry.
Elysha paused for a moment and then quickly said, "I'm wrapping that baby ant in a napkin to keep her warm."
Clara smiled. "Oh! That baby ant will be warm!"
That, my friends, is the stuff of great parenting.

When I'm out in the woods doing field archery, I'm usually picking something to eat, much to the surprise of my companions. If they pluck up courage to accept a taste, they marvel at the citrus freshness of young wood-sorrel leaves and the sweet nectar you can suck from the base of red clover flowers. I can often be seen chewing on the stems of sorrel or wild grasses. Later in the summer, some woods will have wild strawberries and raspberries too.
Come the autumn, it's time for blackberries and bilberries (which put blue berries in the shade, both as a super food and for intensity of flavour). These deserve a dedicated collecting trip. A couple of bags in the freezer lasts for months as a topping for Greek yoghurt at breakfast or the magic ingredient in a lilac smoothie.
With 75 % of the world's food provided by just 12 plants and 5 animal species, it's no wonder that food allergies, intolerances and digestive difficulties are increasing. Your body thrives on variety.
Urban lifestyles and screen addiction mean that few children can name trees and flowers and don't know what can be eaten and, most importantly, what's poisonous and shouldn't be touched. Richard Louv (author of Last Child in the Woods) called these kids 'nature-deficient' and links this to the worrying trends in childhood obesity, ADHD and depression.
Although I've read more about foraging in recent years, I learned most of what I know as a child out with my parents and grandparents. And we were always picking something for wine making including sticky dandelions, delicate gorse petals (ouch!) and foamy white heads of elderflower. In the war our grandparents put dandelion leaves in salad – perhaps with the resurgence of stronger tasting leaves like rocket, today's generation would again find them appealing.
Top tip – teach your children and grandchildren what you know.

Microsoft's Achilles' heels: Fear and arrogance
News analysis:
(MarketWatch) What Microsoft (MSFT) tried to call a "technical" slip-up has just cost it big. The EU fined the company $733 million for breaking a 2009 antitrust settlement and failing to give European consumers more choices of browsers in Windows other than Microsoft's own Internet Explorer.
Microsoft had failed to maintain its end of the bargain from February 2011 until July 2012. The agreement was the result of more than a decade of legal battling -- a long time. But as long lasting as its antitrust woes, first in the U.S. and then in Europe, is Microsoft's weakness of giving in to a strategy driven by fear and a culture of arrogance. More than a mistake, the slip was an indication that some organizations just don't learn their lessons.
- Microsoft's mobile push may be too late
- Microsoft's stealth rebound?
- Windows 8 may suffer from business as usual
The timing explains much. Microsoft has a long history of getting into antitrust fights because of its desktop operating system dominance. The company's problems with U.S. regulators, the Department of Justice, and even state attorneys general spanned the 1990s. The big problem: Microsoft was using its market position to gain advantage for Internet Explorer and to reduce public acceptance of competing products. Both sides eventually came to an agreement in 2001.
Towards the end of Microsoft's problems with the U.S., the EU started to investigate the same problem in Europe. Again, it took years to work through and, again, there was an agreement, though after all it went through with the U.S., you might wonder why it couldn't come to an agreement earlier.
It was a sign of two characteristics of Microsoft: Fear and arrogance. Fear of losing the marketing advantage and massive revenue provided by Windows and its business applications, and the arrogance of assuming that it should try to get away with whatever might aid its goals.
In fact, Microsoft at first did what it was required to do: Offer browser options. But most telling is the timing. Roughly two years after the agreement was struck, Microsoft ceased what it was required to do. The company may call it a technical mistake, but that is clever wording. Of course it was technical: Software is a technical business.
But once the processes and practices are created to offer a variety of browsers, it takes an active decision to revert to earlier practice. It seems almost inconceivable that with modern software management, serious legal talent and advice on staff, and a history of regulatory conflict, that the company could accidentally stumble and happen to take all the steps necessary to reverse course.
EU regulators say they took this action as a way of setting an example for other tech companies that find themselves at odds with officials. This could be a backhanded way of warning Google (GOOG), which has its own bubbling legal issues in Europe.

Australian Plants as Aboriginal Tools
240 pp, 285 x 210 mm, 100 colour plates, 30 b&w photos
ISBN9781921719493, $49.95, Hardcover
Philip A. Clarke

In Australia, the flora has had a broad impact on the lives of Aboriginal hunter-gatherers, having provided them with the essential materials for making their food, medicine, narcotics and stimulants. Plants were also ecologically important for maintaining the populations of terrestrial fauna that hunter-gatherers once foraged upon for their subsistence. The flora has helped shape Aboriginal cultures over the millennia since their Ancestors first occupied the Australian continent.
This book describes the species that were essential as the means for manufacturing Aboriginal weapons, tools, shelter, watercraft, ceremonial objects, clothing, ornaments and paint.. The book demonstrates how hunter-gatherers lived by making objects from plants and investigates similarities and differences of plant uses across Aboriginal Australia, as well as their distinctiveness in relation to practices from other parts of the world. An overview of the changing relationship that Aboriginal people have with the flora is given, along with a description of current trends. The present work is jointly concerned with the ethnobotany and economic botany of Aboriginal Australia.

I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.
Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let's buy it.
My well is dry today. I wish I had more to give you. I find myself desiring shelter. Today I must be strong, and find shelter within. Here is some poetry of Rumi, songs to the Beloved.
In your light, I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
Be loved,

Home > Medical Professionals > Medical Education > Family Medicine Residency Program
View Additional Section Content
Our program has a long tradition of producing well-trained, full spectrum family doctors since 1972.
Our hospital has been ranked the top community hospital in South Carolina by US News and World Report for 2015. Last year it was voted the best overall hospital in the state and is rated in the top 34 hospitals in the country for 5 Medicare quality metrics. Despite these lofty ratings, our hospital remains a large community hospital with a friendly staff that promotes the tenets of family medicine. Our system is in the midst of a 650 million dollar renovation and expanse project including a new medical office building for family medicine, OB/Gyn, and pediatrics. Our hospital is fully supportive of medical education in word and financial commitment.
Upstate South Carolina is a great place to work and live. We have proximity to the mountains, huge lakes, and beautiful beaches are within a 3 hour drive. Spartanburg is home to Wofford, Converse, and Upstate Carolina Universities which gives the downtown a college town atmosphere. Although we have 4 seasons, the climate is pretty moderate and enjoyable year round for all types of outdoor activities.
Our program is accredited with the ACGME with Osteopathic Recognition and is the largest in the state with 36 residents. Our osteopathic-allopathic relationship really enhances our physical medicine curriculum as well as our total body approach to health in family medicine. We are proud of our rural site in Chesnee, S.C. where 5 residents see their continuity patients. We offer tracts in obstetrics, hospital medicine, palliative care, sports medicine, global medicine, and emergency medicine. Currently we offer fellowships in Hospitalist Medicine, Palliative Care, and Obstetrics. We are diligently working on plans for fellowships in Sports Medicine and Emergency Medicine.
Our focus is training our residents to be well prepared for any number of settings and/or positions within the broad range of family medicine. All of our recent graduates have passed their boards on the first attempt! That includes both allopathic and osteopathic boards on all our residents!
I'm excited about our future in family medicine. Our specialty provides the broadest training for any number of possibilities to make you well suited for the career that you choose. Please take a look at what we have to offer. We think you will be pleased with what you see!
The Medical Education Department at Spartanburg Regional sponsors three training programs for residents, the largest of which is family medicine. We also offer a residency program in general surgery, and a one-year transitional internship.
Because family medicine is the largest residency, complemented by general surgery and the transitional internship, there is no university-style competition or the traditional tug-of-war that is common to most medical schools.
We have 12 family medicine residents per year, with six transitional interns assisting first year call to assure a manageable call schedule. We have the faculty strengths of a university, both in size and diversity, with the stand-alone strength of a community program. Our training programs and the residents complement each other, a departure from what you may have seen at your university.
We are fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education* with Osteopathic Recognition.
* The Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The ACGME is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care and population health by assessing and advancing the quality of resident physicians' education through accreditation of graduate medical education programs.

Richmond Fontaine – 'I Fell Into Painting Houses In Phoenix, Arizona'
There are few modern American writers out there to match Richmond Fontaine's Willy Vlautin. As a musician, those in love with Americana will find much to love in Vlautin's lyrics of the losers, boozers and gamblers of blue collar America. Like Springsteen in particular, he's a deft touch at creating lyrically powerful songs that conjure up ceaseless images. 'I Fell Into Painting Houses In Phoenix, Arizona', from 2007's Thirteen Cities, is one such tune. Listening to it, it'll come as little surprise to learn that Vlautin, having fronted the Portland based outfit for well over a decade, has began to garner huge acclaim as a novelist. Last year's Lean On Pete was as close as they come to a modern American masterpiece with the Irish Times's Eileen Battersby proclaiming — "how good is contemporary US fiction? This good: catch your breath good." One not to ignore.

The "Information Analysis and Management" (IAM) is a consortium of teams that will contribute to the construction of a network for data storage and information processing. Instead of building yet other dedicated facilities, the IAM node will use already existing data storage and information processing facilities (LaTIM, Brest; CREATIS Lyon, CIC-IT Nancy; Visages U746 INRIA Rennes; CATI CEA Saclay; LSIIT/Icube Strasbourg) that will increase their capacities for the FLI infrastructure. Inter-connections and access to services will be achieved through a dedicated software platform that will be developed based on the expertise gained through successful existing developments (BrainVisa CEA Saclay, MedINRIA Asclepios INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, Neurolog Modalis I3S Sophia-Antipolis, etc.) and of highly specialized SME (eg Keosys or MaatG
The IAM node has several goals. It aims first at building a versatile facility for data management that will inter-connect the data production sites and data processing for which state-of-the-art solutions, hardware and software, will be available to infrastructure users. Modular solutions are preferred to accommodate the large variety of modalities acquisitions, scientific problems, data size, and adapted for future challenges. Second, it aims at offering the latest development that will be made available to image processing research teams.
Through web services, the software platform will offer the users with (a) transfer, storage, access control, indexing and retrieval of data produced at distributed sites, (b) integration and management of data processing plug-ins, (c) building, description and sharing of workflows, and (d) workflow deployment on high performance computing facilities to process large databases. Hardware facilities will enable workflows to scale up from pilot studies to clinical studies on cohorts.

Hardware facilities will enable workflows to scale up from pilot studies to clinical studies on cohorts.
The hardware part of the "Information Analysis and Management" node is distributed over several physical locations that offer either storage or computing facilities: Brest, Lyon, Nancy, Nancy, Rennes, Saclay, and Strasbourg, while the software counterpart involves teams from other locations (Sophia-Antipolis, Grenoble, Lyon, etc..) and highly specialized SME (eg Keosys, MaatG). The aim of the project is to build a distributed and scalable platform for both data management and information processing. State-of-the-art developments will be easily integrated through a modular architecture, allowing users to define adapted and adaptable workflow on personal computers. This modular architecture will allow to deploy the same workflow on high-performance computing devices (clusters, grids, clouds) to process large databases, and to share it with other users to define processing standards. The offered services are complementary to IPDM[1] node of "France Bio Imaging" infrastructure and will find straightforward applications with cohort studies (e.g. OFSEP). To ensure coherency for further cooperation (shared development, computing facilities, or application related requirements). These initiatives are explained in the governance scheme.

On Wednesday night we launched Arts & Ecology EXCHANGES with a panel discussion, Culture in a Time of Crisis.
One of the highlights of the evening was Cornelia Parker showing an extract from her filmed interview with Noam Chomsky, in which he spoke with incredible clarity about our future, consumerism and our relationship to the environment.
You can see this work, Chomskian Abstract, at the Whitechapel Art Gallery from 13 February to 30 March 2008, open Wed – Fri, 11– 6. This exhibition is in partnership with Friends of the Earth.
80-82 Whitechapel High Street London E1 7QX. The Whitechapel is expanding and during this time the entrance to the Whitechapel Laboratory is via Angel Alley, which is the first passage on the left when facing the building.

Google today celebrates it's 12th birthday, yes, for the past 12 years we have been Googling to find solutions to our problems.
In a discussion I have had with friends over years, I remember one distinctly where a friend told us all that programmers would really find it very difficult without Google, and everyone in the group agreed without a debate. One of them even wondered loudly saying; "What would we do if there was no Google?". Thankfully, we don't have to answer that question.
Google has definitely become a huge part of our lives and has gone beyond just search with one of the most powerful email services in Gmail, an awesome Google Calendar, Google Docs and now the mobile OS Android.
So here is celebrating Google and wishing them a Very Happy 12th Birthday.

(AP Photo/Mary Altaffer, File) (Newser) – Now that Mitt Romney has finally clinched the Republican nomination, the party appears to be rallying around him, boosting his favorable numbers, according to a new Washington Post/ABC poll. Romney's favorable rating still trails President Obama's, but the 52%-41% gap is much closer than last month's 56%-35%. Independents are about evenly divided on both Obama and Romney, which for Romney is an improvement, as this is the first time since January independents have not viewed him unfavorably. The change is most dramatic among Republican women, who have increased their favorable rating of Romney to 80%, up from 59% last month. "There was never any real question about whether Republican women would come around," says a GOP pollster. "The real question is whether independents will come around in sufficient margins for Governor Romney to win." Although overall support for both Romney and Obama from their party is similar, Obama far outguns Romney went it comes to enthusiasm, with 65% of Democrats "strongly favorable" to the president versus just 35% of Republicans who feel that way about their nominee.
