    Photographer and author Margo Cooper will be joined in conversation by blues musicians Joe Ayers and his son Trent Ayers. Cooper had the privilege of interviewing both Ayers for her book Deep Inside the Blues. She describes Joe Ayers as kind, wise, and passionate about playing guitar. Trent Ayers grew up listening to a variety of blues music with his father—tapes of Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, Muddy Waters, R. L. Burnside, and Junior Kimbrough. The father-son duo recently worked on an album together called A Father Son Legacy. Joe and Trent Ayers will play music during this SouthTalk. Margo Cooper’s recently published book, Deep Inside the Blues, is a collection of thirty-four interviews with blues artists and more than 160 of her photographs. Many of the key blues players of the period have already passed, making their stories and Cooper’s photographs of them all the more poignant and valuable.

    Historic Pensacola

    Pensacola was one of the earliest European settlement attempts in American history, and five flags have flown over the city since it was founded. Alternately abandoned and resettled, it served variously as a Spanish garrison, as a French outpost, and as the capital of the British colony of West Florida. It was the largest city in the state when Florida joined the United States in 1821 with Andrew Jackson presiding as provisional governor. Historic Pensacola is an excellent introduction to “The City of Five Flags” for residents and visitors alike. Alongside historic illustrations and contemporary color photographs, John Clune and Margo Stringfield guide readers from Pensacola’s hardtack beginnings in 1559 to the city’s tremendous growth in the early nineteenth century. They provide a unique look into the daily lives of the people who endured hardship, disease, and hurricanes to settle the Gulf coast frontier. This is a highly readable account of a city with a rich and fascinating past.BookPublishe

    O fio do mínimo ou “Zapatos: andante con variaciones” de Margo Glantz This work construes Margo Glantz’ “Zapatos: andante con variaciones” as a text that from the fiction point of view reworks, at the same time displacing and distorting, some nucleic ideas taken from Las genealogías. Our starting hypothesis is that this text (central in the series of texts in Historia de una mujer que caminó por la vida con zapatos de diseñador) does not fictionalise an “original” but a textual original; because of this we think its protagonist (Nora García) as an “imperfect translation” of this Margo Glantz who presents herself as the narrator and character of the parental memories. We question how you construct an autobiography when you already had been a character in your parent’s biography; with this is mind we read the change of status that some events experience from one text to the other; the transformation of the insignificant into central and the central into insignificant. We focused our attention on Nora García/Margo Glantz relation with the universe of shoes. This relation seen as a familial memory mark, personal passion, a garment that defines the subject; and above all as that object which obliquely lets the author to recover in the fictional space the maternal memory (obscured in the Las genealogías by the figure of Jacobo Glantz, her father

    This study was undertaken by Greo Evidence Insights (formerly Gambling Research Exchange Ontario) to create a mapping review of gambling studies. A mapping review is a type of review article that aims to describe and categorize knowledge within a topic of known scope in order to identify research gaps. There have been very few mapping reviews concerning the whole field of gambling studies, and this is the first to specifically examine the concept of harm. For this study, the authors used the Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling (CFHG) as the framework for categorizing gambling research articles. The CFHG describes eight factors contributing to harmful gambling, each with multiple subfactors. The authors searched the Web of Science (WoS) database for gambling research articles from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, published between 2008 and 2017. These three countries were chosen because they represent three different forms of gambling regulation, described in detail in the article. By following the search strategy, 1,424 articles were retrieved that could be ascribed to a CFHG factor. Each article was assigned a CFHG factor, and if possible, a CFHG subfactor, a secondary factor, and a secondary subfactor. Also recorded are the country and state/province/territory/region or each author from the three target countries, and whether or not the word "harm" is present in the title, abstract, or keywords. The dataset also contains the author, year, title, journal, and various other bibliographic fields that were downloaded from WoS.</p

    Optimizing Goods Collection Routes: A Case Study of Eestimaa Viljad OÜ

    Käesoleva lõputöö keskne eesmärk oli analüüsida ja leida lahendusi Eestimaa Viljad OÜ kauba pealekorje ringide logistikasüsteemi kitsaskohtadele. Töö käigus selgus, et ettevõtte praegune logistikasüsteem on mitmes aspektis ebaefektiivne. Olulisemate kitsaskohtadena toodi välja kauba korduvalt ümberpaigutamine veoseruumis, mis suurendab töökoormust ja pikendab laadimisprotsessi. Samuti teostatakse eraldi tarneringe taara kastide kohaletoimetamiseks tootjatele, mis põhjustab ebavajalikke lisakulusid kütusele ja tööajale. Lisaks planeeritakse pealekorje ringe manuaalselt, teadmata kaubakoguseid. Mis võib põhjustada olukordi, kus veoseruum täitub enne, kui kogu kaup on peale korjatud. Analüüsist selgus, Uue veoki soetamine toob küll kaasa igakuise kulude kasvu 5,81%, kuid see annab juurde 28,48% rohkem kaubaruumi, mis võimaldab ettevõttel paremini toime tulla suuremate tarnepäevadega. Nüüdisväärtuse analüüs kinnitas, et uue sõiduki ostmine on ettevõttele pikemas perspektiivis kasulikum kui praeguse kaubiku rentimise variandiga jätkamine, tuues kahe aasta jooksul kokkuhoidu suurusjärgus 20 000 eurot. Analüüsi tulemused näitasid, et uue veoki soetamine ja veoseruumi koormamise süsteemi kasutuselevõtt suurendaks ettevõtte logistika süsteemi tõhusust. Ratastel konteinerite kasutuselevõtt, kiirendaks kauba laadimist, vähendaks füüsilist koormust autojuhtidele ning kaotaks vajaduse kauba ümberpaigutamiseks veoseruumis. Lisaks võimaldaks see süsteem tõhusamalt ära kasutada veoseruumi ja suurendades transpordivõimekust. Uue veoki soetamine toob küll kaasa igakuise kulude kasvu 5,81%, kuid selle tulemusena suureneb kaubaruumi mahutavus 28,48%, mis võimaldab ettevõttel paremini toime tulla suuremate kaubakogustega. NPV analüüs kinnitas, et veoki ostmine on ettevõttele pikemas perspektiivis rahaliselt kasulikum, tuues kahe aasta jooksul kokkuhoidu ligi 20 000 eurot võrreldes rendisõiduki kasutamisega. Need tulemused näitavad, et uue veoki soetamine on mitte ainult majanduslikult otstarbekas, vaid ka strateegiliselt mõistlik otsus. Töö käigus selgus vajadus transpordihaldussüsteemi järele, millega planeerida marsruute ja hallata kaubakoguseid tõhusamalt. Võrreldes kolme erinevat tarkvaralahendust saab järeldada, et OptimoRoute on ettevõttele kõige sobivam tänu oma kuluefektiivsusele ja laiale funktsionaalsusele. Samas toodi esile, et TMS-i maksimaalseks rakendamiseks on oluline, et ettevõttel oleks juba enne veoringi algust teada pealekorjatavate kaupade täpsed kogused. Kokkuvõttes saavutas töö oma eesmärgi, pakkudes ettevõttele praktilisi lahendusi logistikasüsteemi tõhususe parandamiseks. Uue veoki ja TMS-süsteemi kasutuselevõtt aitaks ettevõttel märkimisväärselt vähendada tööaega, töökoormust ja kulusid. Need muudatused võimaldavad parandada töötajate töötingimusi, tõhustada logistilisi protsesse ning saavutada pikaajalist finantsilist kasu. Kokkuvõttes loovad need lahendused Eestimaa Viljad OÜ-le võimaluse kasvada ja tõsta oma konkurentsivõimet, pakkudes tootjatele ja jaekettidele paremat teenust.The central objective of this thesis was to analyze and propose solutions to the logistical challenges in the cargo pick-up routes of Eestimaa Viljad OÜ. The study revealed that the company's current logistics system is inefficient in several aspects. Key issues identified include the repeated repositioning of goods in the cargo space, which increases workload and prolongs the loading process. Additionally, separate delivery routes are carried out for returning empty packaging boxes to producers, leading to unnecessary extra costs in fuel and labor time. Furthermore, collection routes are planned manually without knowing the exact quantities of goods, which can result in situations where the cargo space is filled before all goods have been collected. The analysis showed that acquiring a new vehicle would increase monthly costs by 5.81%, but it would also provide 28.48% more cargo space, enabling the company to better handle larger delivery days. A net present value analysis confirmed that purchasing a new vehicle would be more beneficial for the company in the long term than continuing with the current rental option, resulting in savings of approximately €20,000 over two years. The analysis results showed that acquiring a new vehicle and implementing a cargo space loading system would enhance the efficiency of the company's logistics system. Introducing wheeled containers would accelerate the loading process, reduce physical strain on drivers, and eliminate the need to reposition goods in the cargo space. Additionally, this system would allow for more efficient use of cargo space and enhance transport capacity. While acquiring a new vehicle would increase monthly costs by 5.81%, the result would be a 28.48% increase in cargo capacity, enabling the company to handle larger quantities of goods more effectively. The NPV analysis confirmed that purchasing the vehicle is financially more advantageous for the company in the long term, saving nearly €20,000 over two years compared to using a rental vehicle. These findings suggest that acquiring a new vehicle is not only economically viable but also a strategically sound decision. The study also identified the need for a Transportation Management System (TMS) to plan routes and manage cargo volumes more efficiently. A comparison of three different software solutions concluded that OptimoRoute is the most suitable option for the company due to its cost-effectiveness and extensive functionality. However, the study highlighted that for the TMS to be utilized to its full potential, the company must have precise data on the quantities of goods to be collected before the collection route begins. In conclusion, the thesis achieved its objective by providing practical solutions to improve the efficiency of the company's logistics system. The adoption of a new vehicle and a TMS would significantly reduce working time, workload, and costs. These changes would improve working conditions for employees, streamline logistical processes, and deliver long-term financial benefits. Ultimately, these solutions would enable Eestimaa Viljad OÜ to grow and enhance its competitiveness, offering better service to producers and retail chains
