Those that chose to ship all or a large share of their cargo through this process receives a discounted rate. Second is an independent line, which is when the vessel has their own rate schedules. Generally, independent lines have a lower rate than that of the conference discounted price.

.... from the far flung outposts of the fur trade. As people of mixed ancestry increased in number and married amongst themselves, they developed a new culture, neither European nor Indian, but a fusion of the two and a new identity as Metis. By the mid 19th century, Metis villages had appeared in and around fur trade posts from the Great Lakes to the Mackenzie Delta. Then, as now, Metis communities shared a common outlook shaped by their historical circumstances. As provisioners to the North West Company, the Metis of the prairies organized the commercial buffalo hunt. They left their permanent settlements periodically, electing a provisional go .....

.... question of who, or what brought these countries into conflict. Were they both victims of their situation, or did they become actively involved in promoting conflict, or perhaps a third party source, such as the US pushed them into conflict? In 1948, the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel was read by David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv. The Egyptians, like most of the Arab states saw this as a creation of a Western State, backed by the British Empire, and thus an imperialistic entity in the Arab homeland. Considering the past 20 years of the Egyptian state, and of most of the Arab nations, was a continual conflict again impe .....

This was one of many vetoes made by Jackson under the executive branch. Even though the charter was vetoed it was still valid for four more years and since Jackson abhorred the national bank, he schemed to destroy it by pulling out funds and creat .....

These lack of actions lead to the catastrophic consequences at the Chernobyl power plant. If I were in the same position before the accident, I would’ve made sure that the minimum amount of control rods were being in used considering the dangers of the reactor and their radiation incase of a meltdown. I would also have made sure all the cooling systems and equipment were working properly. Lastly, I would’ve used water as the coolant agent, so as to keep the core cooler. In contrast to the reac .....

.... highs and lows (Gayton v). Some branches of love are negative and unhealthy, while others remain positive and strong. One’s opinion of love in general is often based one which branches of love he or she has encountered. This can best be seen when analyzing Plato’s Symposium and Augustine’s Confessions; because their visions of love were of different branches, their opinions on the value of love differ greatly. Plato’s understanding of the concept of love leaned towards the branch of Eros, while Augustine’s love was more Ludus based. In Saint Augustine’s pubescent age he resigned himself to the urgings of the flesh, as he .....

Thomas Glidden and his revulationary invention of barbed wire took something from America that can never be replaced, I imagine that most people consider this progress, the never ending evolution of The United States of America, but I can not help but wonder if America might just be a little better if there were a few of those good ol’ boys left.
