Summary

'From the moment that these waters were given back their beavers, I knew that I would never wish to return to the time when they were without them . . .'
In November 2021, in a major moment in Scotland's history, a family of beavers was spared a death sentence and relocated to a Perthshire farm. Their arrival at Argaty, Tom Bowser's home, paved the way for a new era in human–beaver relations.
In this deeply personal account, Tom tells of his attempts to save these incredible animals, of the support and opposition received and of the unimaginable gains that beavers ultimately brought to his home. He also explores the wider themes of rewilding and nature conservation in Scotland, meeting some of the leading lights of this exciting movement, highlighting the work they do, the challenges they face and showing why ecological restoration is so important for the future of our planet.

    Have you been struggling to learn Cobol? Or, are you worried that you don't have the right skill set for a particular job? Have you been looking for a new career and trying to figure out what the best way to go about it is? 
    Cobol is a computer programming language used to write computer programs that are used in businesses. It is also a language used by accountants, auditors, and payroll professionals alike. This is a very easy-to-learn computer programming language that was initially used for business use. 
    Being a Cobol programmer requires that you have very good math skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to multitask in real time. If you enjoy a challenge, then this job may be for you. The following is an informative article that will outline what it takes to be a successful Cobol programmer. 
    If you are looking for a new career and want something that will provide stability, then Cobol programming may be the right path for you. 
    One of the reasons why COBOL programming is preferred over other languages is because of its versatility. COBOL can be used to program just about anything, depending on which library modules are selected for use in a particular program. There are many benefits of running Cobol. One such benefit is the ability to easily transition from one language to another. COBOL code can be translated into a Java or C++ code, for example, via a cross-compiler and a thorough understanding of both languages involved. This means that you can use your existing knowledge and expertise from one language, and then translate it into another that may be more suitable for the task at hand. 
    Jumpstart your career today with Cobol.
