Larry, you’ve built an incredible company with a terrific culture and I know how difficult that is to do. Thank you for playing an important role in helping us support our neighbors in need. I am deeply grateful for your partnership and commitment to our community. Eddie and Lucas were wonderful – including moving the bin out safely and efficiently, patiently dealing with Boston traffic, and a last-minute change when we discovered the scrap metal place I picked didn’t take steel. Niles and Andrew got me on the schedule within 24 hours of my initial call and email. Thank you for getting my move taken care of quickly and with such care. Every single time I’ve received the highest level of care, customer service, and kindness. I’m always amazed at how Gentle Giant consistently hires the nicest, most service-oriented movers, staff, and managers around.įor about 15 (maybe even 18) years, Gentle Giant has moved Second Chances’ outdoor clothing donation bins pro bono almost annually. But thanks to The Gentle Giant, it was smooth and enjoyable. I had lost a loved one, and this move could have added more stress and sadness to my grief. They made a difficult time in my life easier and happier. Nothing was broken or damaged, and they always had a friendly smile and a positive attitude. ![]() They moved tons of furniture, unwrapped it and placed it where I wanted it. They delivered some of my stuff to a high-rise building in downtown Boston, and the rest to Rhode Island, where they faced more challenges with country roads and a narrow driveway. When the plans changed, they were flexible and accommodating. They stored everything in DC for a month, then shipped it to Boston for more storage. They had to deal with antiques and fragile items in different locations on the property. They picked up my belongings from a farm in The Plains, Virginia, where it was raining hard and the roads were muddy. They handled a complex move with ease and professionalism. Iam so grateful to The Gentle Giant for their amazing service. ![]()

It then proposes a solution by targeting Amazon’s dominant position in the marketplace and the pivotal role the Kindle environment has in this. It will show that the dominant role of Amazon has changed the industry dynamics and needs to be addressed by critically evaluating the role played by competition rules and the use of digital rights management (DRM) software. It will pay particular attention to the effect this had on publishers and the consumer. This article will first outline how digital technology, focusing on e-books, has changed the distribution arrangements within the publishing industry. Footnote 6 This article proposes a solution to the problem through competition law, prioritising consumer choice to enable consumers to read new innovative e-books, which are not yet available, on their electronic reading devices in the future. The solutions adopted under copyright to limit online piracy, especially the strong protection and widespread use of highly restrictive digital rights management software, create major obstacles for consumers to switch between providers while limiting consumer behaviour beyond what copyright envisions. ![]() The underlying dynamic is driven by copyright law, the very same law that used to underpin publisher control in the first place. Publishers are still facing the same threat: the overwhelming market power of Amazon. Footnote 5 The key condition, the ban of most-favoured-nation clauses is expiring in 2022, but the underlying issues have not been resolved. ![]() Footnote 4 After examining the anticompetitive effects of the MFNs, the Commission considered that a five-year ban on including MFNs in new agreements or enforcing such clauses in existing agreements would be sufficient to boost competition in the e-book market. Footnote 3 While MFNs can foster innovation as they allowed Amazon to recover its cost, they also had an anticompetitive effect by harming e-book distributors and creating a barrier to entry for competing e-book providers. Footnote 2 Amazon used various types of MFNs to control, for example, the availability, specific features, format and prices of e-books. One of the main reasons for opening the formal investigations in 2015 was that Amazon used most-favoured-nation (MFN) clauses also known as parity clauses in its e-book distribution agreements with e-book suppliers. Footnote 1 It was the culmination of a long-running dispute between Amazon and the largest book publishers about the latter’s loss of pricing control. In 2017, the European Commission and Amazon agreed on conditions imposed on the largest trade book publishers to ensure competition in the e-book market. Furthermore, consumers would benefit from broader flexibility when using their Kindle, allowing them to store and read e-books from the provider of their choice. It safeguards copyright aims while alleviating the contractual constraints imposed by Amazon. The proposed approach is beneficial for publishers as well as consumers. ![]() This article advocates for enforcing the Kindle’s interoperability with the e-book formats of other e-book providers. The European Commission attempted to increase competition in the e-book market by banning most-favourite-nation clauses, but this has seemingly failed. This not only affects consumer choice but also reinforces Amazon’s market power due to the significant network effects. ![]() On the other hand, Kindle users are locked-in consumers, limited to Amazon’s e-book offering. This will affect the authors’ remuneration and attribution. Publishers have less control over setting the price to have access to Amazon’s customer base. The introduction of the “Kindle” further cemented Amazon’s dominant position and business model in the market, having negative implications for authors, publishers and consumers. The presence of Amazon is ubiquitous, especially in the online bookstore and e-book market. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Dodo bird tattoo![]() Mauritius, while having lost the majority of its endemic species, is home to some of the most incredible recovery projects of endangered species anywhere in the world. My time in Mauritius was a true crash course in the nation’s proud conservation movement. One of only 3 specimens of this extinct species in the world. Preserved specimen of the endemic Mauritius Blue Pigeon, collected in 1826, on display at the Mauritius Natural History Museum, Port Louis, Mauritius. The proposal was granted, so in August 2016, I joined Rick in Mauritius to begin sharing the possibilities of next-generation genetic rescue with local conservationists. He quickly submitted a travel grant proposal to the Mandela Washington Fellowship’s first “reverse exchange” program, which allows fellows to bring researchers (like me) from the United States to their countries to continue the projects hatched during their time in the U.S. When I told him the genome of the Dodo had been sequenced, Rick shifted from discussion to planning. We met and talked about various genetic rescue subjects over tea at the Long Now Foundation’s Interval Bar & Salon. ![]() ![]() Rick was touring American universities and conservation institutions on a prestigious Young African Leaders Initiative Mandela Washington Fellowship (a program begun by President Barack Obama in 2010) when he contacted me to discuss how Revive & Restore might work with the Mauritius community to use biotech for conservation, including for reviving the Dodo. Novak together researching Dodo fossil discoveries archived in the records of the Mauritius National Heritage Fund office. This summer, I was able to start the dialogue that could one day lead to the revival of the Dodo, thanks to the help of another young conservationist and Mauritius citizen: Rick-Ernest Bonnier. This achievement made Dodo de-extinction possible.Īnyone that has watched my TEDx DeExtinction talk on the Passenger Pigeon knows that the Dodo bird is the bird that started my adolescent passion for de-extinction. Dodo DNA has proven extremely difficult to find.īut in January 2016, Beth Shapiro, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, announced at the Plant and Animal Genomes XXIV conference that the whole genome of the extinct Dodo bird had been sequenced. However, there is one big problem: a lack of Dodo DNA. ![]() And at first glance, beginning the Dodo de-extinction project seemed feasible after all, the innovative reproductive technologies being used to revive the Passenger Pigeon (Revive & Restore’s flagship project) would also work for the Dodo. Skeleton of the extinct Dodo, endemic to Mauritius, on display at the Mauritius Natural History Museum, Port Louis, Mauritius.Īt Revive & Restore, we receive a fair amount of emails from supporters expressing their hopes and interest in reviving the Dodo. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Utopia fiber installation![]() ![]() What financial risk is the city taking on?

If you haven’t taken it please click here regardless of your view of the project. Utopia put a survey together for the city to assess the interest of residents in this project. Mitigating policies which can reduce our target or otherwise benefit the city include: factors are: (1) All revenues collected during the first 2 years can be used to cover shortfalls, (2) The city would get credit for 50% of all non-residential revenue (businesses, schools, and churches), and (3) the city would pay a wholesale rate for connections it uses directly (city offices, connections used for smart irrigation controllers, etc). ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Eca electrum coin reddi![]() ![]() Mycelium is yet another bitcoin-enabled staking wallet.
