Transporting livestock is a critical task that requires careful planning and attention to detail to ensure the animals' safety and welfare. In live stock transport in Queensland, there are specific guidelines and practices that must be followed to protect the animals throughout the journey.

Adherence to Regulations:

One of the key factors in ensuring safe live stock transport in Queensland is strict adherence to the regulations set by the Australian government.

Did you make more money in hospitality or office? 🤔 (asking just because I'm currently trying to get into hospitality because I've heard they make good money on tips and I'm broke)

that is the DEVIL TALKING. whoever is telling you that has the tongue of an asp and probably goat hooves and goose blood and the heart of one of those toads that secrete lsd in their sweat.

here's the shit: hospitality will break your bones and your spirit and pay you at best like 1/5th of what you should be making at minimum for the time, effort and skill involved in your job. you will be demeaned so casually and regularly that you genuinely start to believe you don't deserve sick days when you're sweating and puking, and that the least you can do for your boss is to cancel your plans and come in on a saturday with 30 minutes notice. You will find yourself apologising for only being 15 minutes early to the start of your paid hours and not 30 minutes like management wants. no they will not subsidise transport to or from work, even for the 19 year old girl who has to walk home alone along the unlit canal after midnight.

customers will abuse you wantonly because at least 10% of them consider that to be part of the service they're paying for. You will take pride at some point in being so accustomed to strangers yelling at you that you no longer want to walk into a cupboard and cry, and you will watch the new hires get upset that management are taking the drinks they dropped out of their paycheck and just think 'wonder how long they'll last'. you will sit through branded e-training about mutual respect and diversity and then listen to your manager use slurs from the 1950s about your coworkers. you'll listen to the line cooks use slurs from the 1950s about your manager, and you'll still know whose side you're on.

you will also learn very fast to do a lot of things you had no idea you were capable of. you will learn to deal with the worst kind of asshole, make the best kind of friend, and multitask like crazy. You will learn to suck it up and do dangerous, disgusting, frustrating, unfair things while your body complains and you fantasise that you're anyone else anywhere else. If you stick at it, you will attain a whole secret world of social skills and the lifelong confidence of a grizzly bear.

hospitality is boot camp that never ends. I think everybody should be forced to work hospitality for a year when they turn 18, like national service. I loved it, and I had to get out when I realised I was waking up in the morning wondering how badly I'd need to be hit by a car to get out of my shift. I still miss it, I'm never going back.

office jobs pay more, offer progression, and treat you like a person instead of livestock. on the other hand you will miss out on the technicolour upton sinclair underworld right beneath your nose. maybe that's good? I dunno. yeah, you might make decent tips.

The Outside World of Between Bramble & Briar.

On a continent, much like Europe, on an island country, much like Britain, is a county of rolling hills and dales. Home to settlements shrouded in a seemingly endless woodland, there live the Rohesian people of Between Bramble & Briar.

GEOGRAPHICAL SETTING

Country:~ Isle of Rohese ~"isle of the rose"

County:~ Dorndale ~"valley of thorns."

Cities:~

Dornbury, "borough of thorns.

Where the Rivers, Dourwent, and Swell converge sits the towering factory that runs the city's largest industry, the backbone of the county's wealth, Brusherby's Nutmill.

The location of Florian's Club: The Sanctuary.

Haeggham, "home of the hedge people."

The location of Lillie's University. An hour from Dornbury by train.

Towns & Villages:~

Swellford: a riverside town where a large weekly market is held. Many gather there to enjoy shopping, the tranquil riverside walk and quaint restaurants and cafés.

Malton: the town from which Arthur's mother hails. Home to the county's largest Malthouse and Mill, Burton Malthouse.

Briarbury: the village where Arthur's family home, Stanley House, stands. Its reputation is somewhat upper-class nowadays. Arthur still lives there. He takes the train home from the city. It's a short walk into Hedgley Woodhouse.

Hedgley Woodhouse: the hamlet where the Blackthorns live in Downey Cottage. The place Arthur would truly call home.

ROHESIAN CULTURE

Faith:~

Only in the last century was the Romulan Church disbanded in Rohese. Most clergy have fled, most returning to the Holy City of Albion. The rejection of the Romulan faith was enacted by the people's revolt and later sanctioned by the Parliament in reaction to the discovery of the Church's financial extortion of the Isle and Bank.

Elder folk have slowly reignited faith in Woden, Frig, etc, and now that new generations are aware of old beliefs, what has been named the Ageless Church has taken hold of youth culture. Those who practise the old faith honour nature instead of the previously worshipped Wolf, Romulus, Prophet of the Romulan Church.

Currency:~

Six centuries ago, the Romulan Church brought their Latini currency from Albion and gently converted the Rohesian market until the Sacer became the Isle's currency.

The Church's monetary scandal has since brought about a currency reform and the reminting of Shilli (Scillingas/Gold Shillings) and Coppar's (Copper pennies), the previous currency of the Isle. Paper money is simply called 'notes'. They are generally called "fivers" and "tenners." Twenty Shilli notes aren't used much by the general public.

Cuisine:~ 

Although spices are not commonplace on Rohese, wild herbs and sea salt are used as seasonings in native recipes. Due to livestock not being farmed, meat is rarely eaten, and if so, only on special occasions. However, fish, mushrooms, eggs, vegetables, berries and native fruit (apples, plums, pears, etc.), grains and nuts, their milk and cheese (and sometimes dairy products) are part of a standard Rohesian diet. Bread and Potatoes are considered staple foods.

Language:~

Although the story is written in Modern English, a dialect similar to Olde English and Welsh would be more prevalent in how Roh-folk speaks. However, as is to be expected, the Latin of the Romulan Church has influenced people's language.

Industry & Technology:~

Industry on Rohese is generally coal or hydro-powered. Trains, trams, and buses are the most prevalent forms of transport.

Few own cars, and as such, the market never really took off. Automobiles remain quite simplistic pieces of engineering (think: 1900s era)

Cellphones and computers have yet to be invented. House phones and public telephone boxes are standard ways to communicate outside the postal service.

Tag list:~ @caxycreations

Let me know if you'd like to be on the BBB tag list too.

Excerpt from this story from KEZI 9 News:

Oregon’s gray wolf population did not increase last year due in part to a large number of wolves killed by people, causing concern among conservationists and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials.

The latest Annual Wolf Report found the population remained steady at 178 wolves, marking the first time in eight years that their numbers didn’t increase. Typically, the population has grown by 6% a year. Among the 36 wolf deaths in 2023, 33 were caused by people. The state sanctioned the killing of 16 wolves following livestock deaths and 12 were killed illegally, the report said. 

“The amount of poaching and other suspicious deaths is alarming, impacts our conservation goals and could affect our ability to manage wolves in Oregon,” Bernadette Graham-Hudson, the agency’s wildlife division administrator, said in a news release.

The count is based on wolf tracks and other evidence, including appearance on wilderness cameras, and might be too low, officials said. It also doesn’t include the 10 wolves that were transported from Oregon to Colorado in December to help reestablish a wolf population there.

In addition to the steady numbers, the count cited two fewer wolf packs and successful breeding pairs in 2023 than in 2022 due to poaching.

Gray wolves are listed as endangered under the federal Species Act in most of central and western Oregon, and four of the illegal killings took place in places where they are federally protected. Seven of the wolves that were illegally killed were poisoned. The state wildlife department, Oregon State Police and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are investigating the poisonings and offering a $50,000 reward for more information on three of them. Other deaths were caused by vehicles, cancer, natural causes or undetermined causes. One was shot by a livestock owner in an act of self defense, according to the report.

Conservationists criticized Oregon’s fish and wildlife agency for allowing 16 wolves to be killed in 2023 for what the agency considered to be chronic livestock depredation by wolves. That is more state-sanctioned wolf killings than in any year since record keeping began in 2008, according to Amaroq Weiss, a senior wolf advocate at the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity.

Hello :)

Hope you and yours are well this time of year.

My main character lives in a village with a high community spirit. There is no money; only help. Farmers trade their labour and efforts for something else. The elderly are taken care of by the stronger and younger etc.

Apart from food deliveries, what other ‘mundane’ every day tasks would need to happen to make such a society work? My main character is bored of life in this village but I’m struggling to come up with the sorts of things that would happen (possibly because our lives are so different now!).

Thank you x

Life in An Agrarian Society

It sounds like what you're trying to create is an agrarian society, or in other words, one that relies entirely on the land for their economy and survival. This is also a barter and trade society, meaning that goods and services are procured via trading one good or service for another rather than exchanging money.

How Are Basic Needs Met?

A human's most basic needs are: food and water, shelter, clothing, and medicine. So, the first thing you'll need to decide is how this village fulfills those needs, either individually or as a community.

Food and Water: Where does this community get their water? Does it come from a lake, river, spring, or well? Where do they get their food? Do they hunt and gather? Do they grow crops? Do they raise livestock? Do they trade goods and services for food from another village? Associated tasks:

-- gathering water from source -- building wells and ditches -- distributing water to crops and livestock -- tracking and hunting -- processing game -- fishing, gathering shellfish and processing them -- growing crops (tilling soil, planting seeds, harvesting, etc.) -- processing, preserving, storing harvested crops -- raising livestock (herding, grazing, feeding, processing) -- foraging for food, processing foraged foods -- trading goods and services for food from other villages

Shelter: What type of dwellings do the villagers use to keep them out of the elements? What structures do they use to house livestock and to store and process raw materials, food, and water? Associated tasks:

-- gathering raw materials for dwellings (stone, wood, mud, etc.) -- trading goods and services for materials/tools -- processing raw materials, obtaining or making tools -- building and maintaining dwellings and out buildings -- building and maintaining fences, livestock pens, etc.

Clothing: Where does the village get their clothing or material for clothing? Do they trade goods and services to obtain fabric or clothing from outside sources? Or do they produce their own raw materials needed to make yarn, thread, and fabric such as fleece from sheep for wool and yarn, and flax or cotton for linen? Associated tasks: -- harvesting/processing materials for making fabric -- process fibers and spin into thread or yarn (includes dyeing) -- weaving, knitting, or crocheting thread/yarn into fabric -- sewing clothing from the fabric -- trading goods and services for ready made fabric or clothing

Medicine: How do villagers receive healthcare when they are sick or injured? Is it provided at home? Is there a village healer or doctor? Does medical care come from outside the village? Who makes medicine, tinctures, and salves? Or are they obtained from outside the village via trade? Associated tasks:

-- taking care of sick or injured villagers -- delivering babies -- gathering medicinal plants and herbs -- making medicinal teas, tinctures, salves, and tonics -- trading goods and services for ready made medicines

Other Necessities

-- How is sewage and trash handled/disposed of? -- How is water, food, and clothing distributed to villagers/homes? -- Who maintains roads, common areas, and public structures? -- Who provides safety and security to villagers and properties? -- Who creates and enforces rules that keep everyone safe? -- Who mediates disputes between villagers? -- What transportation is used to get to other places? -- Who shoes the horses, builds the carts and wagons, gathers and smelts the metal needed to make horse shoes and wagon wheels, etc.?

That should give you a pretty good list to start out with. I hope that helps!

The Ultimate Guide to Plastic Wrap: Types, Uses, and Benefits

In today's fast-paced world, plastic wrap is a silent hero behind the scenes in countless industries. Often overlooked, this versatile material does more than just keep your leftovers fresh. Whether you’re in retail, agriculture, or construction, understanding the various types and applications of plastic wrap can help streamline operations and enhance productivity. Read on to discover its unique properties, types, and benefits.

Properties of Plastic Wrap

Plastic wrap is more than just a transparent sheet you use to cover food. Its unique properties make it an invaluable tool across multiple industries. First, its adherence ensures that it clings tightly to objects, providing a secure seal. Its pliability allows it to stretch and wrap around items of various shapes and sizes. Additionally, its moisture resistance is crucial for protecting goods against environmental factors like humidity and contamination.

Types of Plastic Wrap Rolls

Plastic wrap comes in several types, each tailored for specific applications. Cling wrap, for example, is commonly used in households and food service industries to keep food fresh. Stretch wrap rolls, also known as stretch film, are designed for heavy-duty tasks like bundling and securing pallets. Industrial-grade plastic wraps offer even more durability and strength, suitable for demanding environments like construction and agriculture. Understanding these different types can help you choose the right plastic wrap for your needs.

Manufacturing and Warehousing

In manufacturing and warehousing, stretch wrap rolls are essential for securing pallets of products. These rolls ensure that items stay put during transit, preventing damage and saving space. Stretch film also protects products from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, which is crucial for maintaining quality and reducing waste. Whether it’s electronics or fragile items, stretch wrap rolls play a significant role in keeping everything intact.

Food and Beverage Industry

The food and beverage industry relies heavily on cling wrap to maintain freshness and hygiene. Restaurants, supermarkets, and food processing facilities use it to cover and preserve various food items. Specialized plastic wraps, such as meat wrap and cheese wrap, are designed to extend the shelf life of specific food types. These wraps provide an airtight seal, preventing spoilage and contamination, which is vital for food safety and quality.

Construction Industry

In the construction industry, heavy-duty plastic wrap protects building materials, furniture, and equipment during projects. It shields these items from dust, debris, and moisture, ensuring they remain in good condition. Additionally, plastic wrap is used for waterproofing applications and creating temporary shelters, making it a versatile tool for various construction needs.

Agriculture

Agriculture is another sector where plastic wrap proves to be indispensable. Silage wrap, for instance, helps preserve forage crops for livestock feed, reducing waste and ensuring a year-round supply. Plastic mulch film is used to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and regulate soil temperature, which improves crop yield and quality. These applications highlight the critical role of plastic wrap in boosting agricultural productivity.

Retail Industry

In the retail industry, clear plastic wrap is used to showcase products on shelves, creating attractive product bundles and enhancing visual appeal. It protects delicate items during display and transportation, ensuring they reach customers in perfect condition. Whether it’s wrapping gift sets or securing fragile items, plastic wrap helps retailers maintain product integrity and presentation.

Cost-Effectiveness

Plastic wrap is a cost-efficient packaging solution compared to other materials. Its affordability makes it an attractive option for businesses looking to reduce expenses without compromising on quality. The versatility of plastic wrap means it can be used for various applications, offering excellent value for money.

Efficiency and Ease of Use

One of the standout features of plastic wrap is its ease of application and removal. This saves time and labor costs, making operations more efficient. Whether you’re wrapping pallets in a warehouse or covering food in a supermarket, plastic wrap’s user-friendly nature ensures that tasks are completed quickly and effectively.

Sustainability Considerations

While traditional plastic wrap has raised environmental concerns, advancements in eco-friendly options are changing the narrative. Recycled materials and biodegradable films are being used to create sustainable plastic wraps that minimize environmental impact. These innovations offer businesses a way to protect their products while also being mindful of their ecological footprint.

Welcome to Hinode

Niwa’s farm community is known as the village of Hinode. It was created some fifty years before the Fire Nation attacked. It started when a group of agriculturalists, unhappy with life in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se, left the great city to start their own community. They took their families and settled on a large patch of land.

The farmland started off with just cultivating the gardens and tending to livestock, but as the years went by and the families found their own niches, and the children married and more people joined the community, it began to offer more services, such as spinning and weaving, woodworking, smithing, milling - however, the village had to keep itself very contained from the Fire Nation’s attacks, and any Earthbenders who offered their services were highly respected.

Niwa’s family tended to the livestock. From selling them for their meat, to taking them to be sheared and have wool sent to the spinners, milking, collecting eggs, and using them for transport, Niwa remains busy on her side of the community. She does have help, however, in some new faces now that the war is over and more people have been arriving to the community.

Since Niwa’s great-great grandfather’s time, 12 members of her family have been Earthbenders who ensured the safety of the village (her great-great grandfather included). Neither of Niwa’s parents were Benders, and Niwa herself has no element, but with her status as one of the descendants of one of the founding families, Niwa is highly respected for her big heart, patience, and stalwart manner. However, she isn’t the most socially aware, and being the last person left of her family, she is often working herself ragged and has little time for interaction with her community. Thankfully, with the end of the war came some new faces now that Hinode didn’t have to hide itself anymore.

Now with Waterbenders entering the village with new earthbenders, the crop yield has been thriving exponentially, enough to take to other markets for profit. Metalbenders have begun to show up in the village as well as they begin working for the smith. Hinode is thriving as new faces and occupations begin to rejuvenate the community.

And one of the newest faces ends up being a man that Niwa finds in the woods when looking for one of her lion-rams. He is gravely injured and half drowned; one look into his golden eyes lets her know he has some Fire Nation heritage.

The man awakens to Niwa looking over him, concerned and eager to help.

There is no way for her to know that she is looking at the former Fire Lord, Ozai himself, freshly escaped from prison and on the run. But he’s not going anywhere for a while thanks to his vast list of  injuries, so he picks the name Chen to hide his identity. He plans to use this woman’s naivete to his advantage, but eventually in time his pride is worn down by the village. 

‘Chen’ is given aid, is welcomed, is smiled at, is never made to feel like he’s worthless. In time, this place scabs over his old life, and reveals someone new that he had no idea he could be. His life enmeshes with Niwa, her tenderness paired with effortless and endless support reveal a sense of guardianship within Ozai. It comes with shame, knowing he’s failed his wife and children back home - but Chen will be different.

The Phoenix King has risen from the ashes, not to rule the world. But to tend to it. Ozai is reborn as Chen. Chen is quiet, but a sentinel that guards the village from remaining intruders. Even without an element, he is still a force to be reckoned with. Chen and Niwa marry and welcome two children, and life is promising.

Until Ozai’s children find him, reminding him of the man he once was, and telling Niwa who he is in the process - all while facing the facts that his disappearance has kept many on edge, and he still has a prison sentence to complete.

Niwa must confront this truth, that her beloved has committed unthinkable acts against the world, against his own children.

and in the process, she also learns something new about her heritage through her daughter’s newfound Airbending abilities.

Important things the Guardians did:

Basically wanted to go through everything my Guardian family did as Guardians in their time that kinda makes them well known/iconic for their time and what was their most notable acts and achievements.

Shepherd- Basically, the pioneer. He set the bar. He gets props being the first one tbh Probably fought in a major war in his time and just had to solve a lot of issues with fighting... very tiring. I don't want to go into detail about a lot of 'physical' acts such as battles and fights, those are just probs obvious.

Marcello- Extended Scientific Research and revolutionised it in his time. Probablay made at least one scientific discovery.

Hadar- Reinstated diplomatic solutions and stopped a lot of issues the island was having through diplomacy. Something like that. Also improved health care and started to touch on many social and political issues

Coal- LGBT+ support and fighting for rights for the people.

Johnathan- Equality, LGBT+ Rights, Workers Rights and a lot of social issues

Morgan- Revolutionised Research on Chaos Energy and improved it's study of i. Also was an advocate for equal rights, as well as a lot of her other family but her becoming the first female guardian was the biggest reason she was known for it despite it not being her priority.

Chase- Worked to improve the education system, advocating for neurodivergent youth and people in general. Also advocated for trans folks and even got the island more well-known in the athletic world by going to an off-island international sports event with other angel island athletes.

Sorrel- Improving medical practice, especially for trans people but in general wanting to improve medical practice. Also stepped in to improve the environment on their island, trying to make lifestyle more environmentally friendly and organic solutions and protect endangered plant life.

Tiberius- Worked on improving mechanical workings and engineering also worked to improve transportation on the island to make it more efficient, both in cars and also public transportation to make travelling through the island smooth and not try and destroy all of it for the sake of 'roads'.

Journey- Improved International agreements with the island and even got new ones due to her going off island much more than any other guardian, as well as improved international trading to and from the island so they got a lot more imported goods and could do international trades smoothly. Also stood for equal rights, but took it a step further but discussing and advocating the issues all species, sexes and genders face.

Cedar- not an official guardian but did a lot of volunteer work and went off island to assist in many troubled cities, countries and islands. Also advocated a lot about unknown health issues such as his.

Salem- advocate for animal rights, worked to improve animal protection, trying to protect endangered and native species. Also worked to improve the livestock industry and making It more sustainable for the island.

Known as the lord of the skies, Aeropterus soar tirelessly in search of food.

As common as they are troublesome, the Aeropterus is as big a nuisance as any to take to the skies. Behaving much like a pelican or seagull might in our world when it comes to food, the biggest difference being that they're closest in size to a giraffe. Rather aggressive gluttons who stalk prey on foot, they use their massive keeled beaks to snap up their meals and thrash them about before swallowing them whole.

Villages frequented by wild Aeropterus often have extensive warning systems in place and strict curfews for children, household pets, and small livestock animals.

While Aeropterus are not typically the most affectionate towards humans, they are strongly food motivated, which aids greatly in training them. Having an impressive combination of speed, strength, and endurance in the air, the Aeropterus is the primary species used by humans for aerial transport of both passengers and cargo. Entire fleets are enlisted by most nations for ferrying people and resources around, much like a taxi service.

In most towns and near most frequented regions like forests or mountains, you can find tall yellow stands for Aeropterus rides. They can quickly ferry you around between any stations you wish, aiding in quick and efficient long-distance travel.

So I just wandered in off of the rest of tumblr (I saw a picture of a Cars-universe road train, and that got all my attention right away). What is this "Backwater Downs" thing?

anon i think you are my New Favourite Tumblr Person , so welcome! there is no way to explain this shortly so please settle in. (and excuse how long it took me to answer, i tried to pare this down as much as i could and failed)

Backwater Downs is one of several "expansion packs" to canon that i've been developing. It runs concurrent with the movies and also with "The Carbecue AU" (Carbecue focuses on expanding canon characters, while the Downs is for OCs) It takes place in one of the remote opal-mining communities, vaguely inspired by the Grawin opal fields near Lightning Ridge. BWD is significantly more remote, though, and relies almost entirely on a road train for their living resources! Aggie, or Augustus, is the road train in question. She’s a Kenworth C510, and she spent many years hauling hundreds of tonnes out of large pit mines further north, before “retiring” to the lighter work of transporting livestock and living goods through the outback. She’s found a home in Backwater Downs specifically, and often chooses to stay there in the wet season instead of returning to dock in Alice Springs. Her nickname “Aggie” refers to the machine used to separate opals from dirt and clay, which is what she does during her downtime there! She’s mostly very quiet, but she has a razor sharp wit and she uses her time on the road to study. She probably has like seventy university degrees now. The Downs has less than fifty cars in the region, most of which I've developed, but there are three guys i talk about constantly:

Regiment 'Reg' Blitzborough, a rusted out semi/racing coupe cross who grew up in the military with his father. Reg is intelligent and passionate, and the town appreciates his jack-of-all-trade work, even if he’s stubborn and annoyingly overbearing as well. He’s partially deaf from his service, and he has chronic pain from the mixup of heavy truck gear and lighter racer parts being incompatible. He also smells like diesel and old swampy water, and keeps a pleco in his cabin to keep the algae down. (he refills his cabin every year. Because he’s also stark barking mad.) His father Michael briefly retired in BWD when Reg was a bitlet, but has since passed. Michael had the disposition of a brick wall and the only thing he ever loved was his son. Reg has a small convoy of trucks that helped raise him and that he considers parental figures, but he’s withdrawn from them all since Michael’s death. He also has two siblings and two nephews, which he only found out very recently. "Ratchet" is a ‘58 Plymouth Fury with a Cadillac DeVille cross, and used to play both sides of the Law before being gravely injured in a high-speed chase. The resulting damage gives him some mobility issues and has rendered him mute, so he communicates in a bird-whistle version of Morse code, and a fairly vague version of sign language (cars do not have hands you see). He’s ironically verbose and has an excellent eye for detail, but often misses social cues and so comes off as bitchy or aggressive. He’s been accused of “maladaptive behavioural tendencies” and “post-traumatic stress disorder” but he’s not quite ready to accept that damage yet. He can have trouble distinguishing reality. Most days, he works for Leo Curbjumper in the “Club in the Scrub” (a real place!) as a waitress. He’s won most attractive BWD resident every year since first arriving, and has all the locals under his tires. He also has four brightly-coloured siblings that swore to kill him on sight if he ever set a tread in America again, and several nieces he's never had the chance to meet. "Austin" is a ‘51 Hudson Hornet and the official Health and Safety Manager for BWD. He lets Reg do most of his work, instead focusing on his massive archival project of pretty much everything to ever exist. He specialises in personal records - war diaries, stories told around the campfire, anything and everything. He’s a fantastic liar and good at keeping his mouth shut. Austin believes in the Story, and in Names, and things like the Soul. He has a very thick southern Minnesota accent, mixed with the dozen other places he’s lived. He’s quiet but competitive, cheerful, and infuriatingly stubborn, and his favourite animal is the turbo-chicken. He used to be part of Ratchet's family but the whole murder thing applies to him too. He can play the drums!

I'm going to stop myself here because otherwise it'll never end but thats the basics!!! (also sorry it took four months to answer, in my defense i thought it was only three weeks)

I figure I should make one of these sooner rather than later.

Animal Ambassador

Summary: Humanity has been culled by an unknown force. Man and livestock underwent mass death, a lot of technology no longer functions, and those who survive slowly find one another across the vastness of the planet. Sojurn takes it upon themselves to be a wandering teacher, giving the books they salvaged to those left to read them. Then the incident occurs, and they find themselves on the wrong side of the massive arthropods who have emerged from seemingly nowhere. Or: How to deal with a nuisance human.

Importing can help businesses to access products that are not available domestically, and it can also help businesses to reduce costs.

For consumers, exporting and importing can help to lower prices and increase the availability of goods. For example, consumers in the United States can buy fresh produce from all over the world, and they can also buy electronics and other manufactured goods at lower prices because of imports.

Conclusion

Exporting and importing products is a vital part of the global economy. It helps businesses to grow and consumers to save money. If you are considering starting an export import business, there are a number of resources available to help you get started.
