BGL attains data security certification for Simple Fund 360
SMSF software provider BGL has announced that its Simple Fund 360 platform for SMSFs has attained ISO 27001 certification, a key international data security standard.
In a statement on Wednesday, the firm said both Simple Fund 360 and its software platform for accountants, CAS 360, had attained the certification, which was a mandatory ATO requirement for digital services providers.
BGL managing director Ron Lesh said the group had "worked tirelessly" over the past few months to get the certification, which involved having the effectiveness of its information management systems audited externally.
"The result is no surprise to me, but a big accomplishment for the company," Mr Lesh said.
"Being ISO 27001 certified adds to BGL commitment in offering a world's best, compliant, technology-advanced and secure solution for clients."
Mr Lesh said the certification was "a must-have" for companies managing large amounts of client data in today's business environment.
"ISO 27001 is a respected and internationally recognised information security standard to outline key processes and approaches a business needs in order to securely handle data entrusted to them by third parties," he said.
He added that BGL's clients and business partners were increasingly cognisant of the need for robust data security and having the right systems in place to manage this.
"ISO certification helps provide our clients with the confidence and trust they need," Mr Lesh said.
"At BGL, we take data protection and security very seriously — ISO 27001 is a proof of our commitment to the highest level of security standards and compliance."

Intellectual Property, China updates
Balancing patent protection and disclosure
Wanhuida Peksung IP Group
The Patent Law provides that a patent's claims must be based on the description, which is a key mechanism devised to balance protection and disclosure under the law. The Supreme Court has rendered a number of judgments in this regard, which – in addition to the Patent Law and the Patent Examination Guidelines – are of guiding significance for the practical application of the Patent Law.
TRAB releases analysis of its decisions that were overruled in 2017 court proceedings
The Trademark Review and Adjudication Board (TRAB) recently released an analysis of its decisions which were overruled by the courts in 2017, in which it observed that the ratio of court decisions rendered against its own adjudications in the first instance and on appeal has increased each year. In addition to these statistics, the TRAB provided a commentary on issues such as admitting new evidence in court proceedings, changes of circumstances and trademark coexistence agreements.
Submission of supplementary experimental data in patent practice
The submission of experimental data after the filing date (also known as post-filing data) in support of the patentability of inventions has long been debated in the Chinese patent community. While opinions are divided in this regard, post-filing data provided by the applicant or patentee may serve as useful evidence if an invention is challenged for substantive defects.
Official fees for patent applications cut
The State Intellectual Property Office recently announced that a number of official patent application fees would be waived as of 1 August 2018. In addition, if a patent applicant or patentee meets the criteria for annuity reduction as set out in Article 3 of the Measures on the Reduction of Patent Official Fees, the reduction period will be extended from six years (calculated from the year of grant) to 10 years.
Customs seizure of patent-infringing products
Requesting Customs to seize export products on grounds of patent infringement can be a potent legal tool against exporters. If the products involved are subsequently detained by the court and found to be infringing, they will be destroyed. However, it is difficult for patentees to organise customs seizures of exported patent-infringing products. If the other party files a counterclaim, the patentee may end up shooting itself in the foot.
Beijing High Court applies strict criteria regarding trademark use evidence
Too many trademarks are filed in China for the purpose of trading them as a commodity for profit. These marks are not filed for the purpose of functioning as a source indicator of goods or services, which leads to frequent procedures before the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. The courts should scrutinise evidence of use more closely if it is suspected to have been forged by a trademark registrant. The level of scrutiny demonstrated by the Beijing High Court in a recent case is therefore most welcome.
Outlook for IP and brand owners in the context of China's institutional reform
The Central Committee of the Communist Party recently released the Plan on Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions, providing insight into how the government will be run in the medium to long term following the State Council's plan to streamline governance. As part of the government overhaul, the State Intellectual Property Office will be restructured to integrate the registration and administrative adjudication responsibility for patents (its existing function), as well as trademarks and geographical indications.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: continuation of use
The Paris Convention forms the cornerstone of China's legislative framework on the protection of commercial signs. This framework also comprises the new Anti-unfair Competition Law, which took effect in January 2018, and the Trademark Law, among others. This article analyses Article 59(3) of the Trademark Law and, by way of a comparison with the corresponding provisions of the new Anti-unfair Competition Law, examines how the new law will redefine the legal landscape for protecting commercial signs.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: legal liability
The new Anti-unfair Competition Law took effect in January 2018. As regards damages awards, Article 17 of the new law essentially follows the same calculation principles set out in the Trademark Law. Unfortunately, the new Anti-unfair Competition Law does not include the other modes of calculation provided for in the Trademark Law. In addition, the remedies granted by the Trademark Law and the Anti-unfair Competition Law with regard to unregistered trademarks are different.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: misleading publicity
The new Anti-unfair Competition Law took effect in January 2018. Although substantial changes were made concerning important issues such as the theft of trade secrets, as regards the principles set out in Article 10bis of the Paris Convention, most of the main concepts and principles of the original 1993 text were maintained. Article 9 of the 1993 law is one such article which remains largely unchanged, although some matters have been clarified, including with regard to misleading commercial publicity.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: other acts of confusion
Article 6(1)(4) of the new Anti-unfair Competition Law prohibits a party from performing "other confusion acts that may mislead consumers to believe that its products are those of another person, or induce a special relationship with another person". This is a convenient fallback provision for IP rights holders which need protection in circumstances other than those explicitly listed in Article 6 of the law.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: websites and domains
Article 6(1)(3) of the new Anti-unfair Competition law prohibits the unauthorised use of a website name, webpage or the main parts of a domain name with a certain level of influence. By way of an analysis of this provision from the perspective of Article 10bis of the Paris Convention and a comparison with the corresponding provisions of the Trademark Law, it is possible to examine how it will redefine the legal landscape for protecting commercial signs in China.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: trade names
The legislature had been planning the recent amendments to the Anti-unfair Competition Law since China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. During the four drafts that followed, substantial changes were made concerning important issues such as conflict between company names, which may lead to confusion with regard to business entities.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: uniqueness
The legislature recently made a number of amendments to the Anti-unfair Competition Law, which it had been planning since China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. One topic of discussion during the law's revision concerned the list of signs that cannot be copied, as requests were made to add a product's shape to this list. Further, the use of the word 'famous' with regard to trademarks came under intense debate during the revision process.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: misleading consumers
The legislature had been planning the recent amendments to the Anti-unfair Competition Law since China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. Although most of the main concepts and principles of the original 1993 text have been maintained, during the act's revision, Article 6 – which concerns misleading consumers and acts of confusion – was one of the most discussed provisions.
Relationship between new Anti-unfair Competition Law and Paris Convention: general principles
The legislature had been planning the recent amendments to the Anti-unfair Competition Law since China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. During the four drafts that followed, substantial changes were made concerning important issues such as the theft of trade secrets. However, as regards the principles set out in Article 10bis of the Paris Convention, most of the main concepts and principles of the original 1993 text have been maintained.
Winning first instance on procedural technicality not enough: final victory on merits remains necessary
The Beijing High Court recently ascertained that a cited mark had acquired well-known trademark status before the opposed mark's application date. Thus, the court corrected the first-instance court's findings, while upholding its decision to rescind the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board's decision for its failure to address all of the cited mark owner's claims.
Keemun GI certification trademark invalidated
The Beijing High Court recently overturned a first-instance judgment relating to a certification trademark filed by the Keemun Black Tea Association. In its decision, the court emphasised that geographical indication trademark applicants bear a higher obligation and must act in good faith when submitting filing documents, including by not producing forged application files and giving a full and accurate account of the circumstances.
How to be more strategic in your fight against bad-faith filing
Data released by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court shows that bad-faith filings and registrations account for 30% of all trademark-related administrative suits, making them a major concern for brand owners. Recent case law of the China Trademark Office, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board and the judiciary reveals how brand owners could be more strategic in fighting bad-faith filing under the existing trademark legislative framework.
Damages awarded in patent infringement case beyond statutory limit
The Shenzhen Intermediate Court recently demonstrated that, when seeking financial compensation, all efforts made by a plaintiff to prove the scope of patent infringement – even if its findings are not based on official accounting records – may be appreciated and rewarded by the courts. Factors such as a defendant's behaviour or an oral admission may assist the courts when determining damages.

"Malignant pheochromocytoma with widespread bony and pulmonary metastas" by Tazeen Muneer, Aisha Tariq et al.
Pheochromocytoma is a rare benign tumor of the adrenal gland. A select few cases may be malignant, and metastatic cases are exceedingly rare. It often presents with symptoms of catecholamine excess, such as sweating, palpitations, headaches, and characteristic paroxysmal hypertension. Due to its diffuse symptoms, it is difficult to diagnose and is often diagnosed late. We describe the unique case of a 44-year-old female patient who presented with uncontrolled hypertension and vomiting, accompanied by lower back pain. She was diagnosed with malignant pheochromocytoma with multiple metastases to the lungs, vertebrae, scapulae, and skull. Because of the advanced state of her disease, the patient was started on treatment with the chemotherapeutic combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine. However, she had a complicated hospital course and died because of aspiration pneumonia and sepsis.

In response to requests from stringers who use and like the StringWeaver cross stringing tool for tennis racquets, we have developed and now have available a similar tool made specifically for badminton racquets. For more information visit the StringWeavers.com website.
At the time some commenters indicated the technique didn't work that well with stiff strings. However, because the StringWeaver separates the mains the method should work much better with stiff strings when combined with the StringWeaver. Using the technique without separating the mains increases the risk of burning and notching the strings.

Using the technique without separating the mains increases the risk of burning and notching the strings.
It works well with if you pull the next to be tensioned string up against the last tensioned string. This opens up the path for the next string to be installed and if you do not pull both strings at the same time but only the tail there is no way you will notch the string. Bad thing about this method is it only works and every other string.

So, what do I need to consider first before buying a franking machine? We'll answer that question in the list below, says Franking Machine Compare.
It is crucial to first find out how many letters your business sends in a single month. There are a number of machines in the market today meant for large volumes of work. Most of these machines are designed with a variety of functions depending on your needs. Therefore, before getting into a conclusion on which device to buy, make sure you do an online survey. Also, it is worth taking note of the type of letters willing to be sent. Furthermore, taking note of the postage costs incurred each month without using a postage meter must be addressed. There are different brands out there. So, make sure you make the right decision.
If the monthly postage costs are above the £100 mark, then opting for other options offered at Royal Mail should be considered. In general, making the right choices on the type of franking machine to buy or lease depends on the volume of work.
Once you have made up your mind about the franking machine you wish to buy, the second step is to compare different vendors. Comparing franking machine suppliers is essential because choosing the wrong one will subject you to the risk of buying the wrong franking machine. You may end up buying a substandard franking machine at a ridiculous price. The only way to get a correct idea of what a franking machine is going to cost to buy or rent is to get many quotes. Franking Machine Compare helps you compare prices from the four leading authorised suppliers in the UK.
Before getting into an agreement with any vendor, make sure the franking machine has the Mail-mark feature. The Mail-mark is a feature where the franking machine uses barcode technology on letters. Mail-mark technology is the standard franking characteristic that uses digital technology used to streamline the franking process. Therefore, a franking machine without this unique feature is not an option.
The benefit of buying a franking machine with Mail-mark technology puts your business in line with the current trend in technology advancement.
For a franking machine to operate, it requires some supplies. Some franking machines consume more or fewer supplies depending on the key features of the device. Common supplies of franking machines include ink, sealing liquid, tape, and other materials. What you need to find out is whether the supplies are accessible or not. If the supplies are not accessible at all, looking for other alternatives is the way to go.
Just to avoid the inconveniences of insufficient supplies, it is advisable to buy a machine that serves you well; a device that consumes reasonable amounts of supplies. In case you decide on leasing a franking machine, make sure the vendor keeps the device in check at all times. Also, the leased franking machine must have lower maintenance costs.
If getting a technician to repair the franking device locally is impossible, then look at other options available; for instance, assessing the cost of shipping out the franking device for repair and maintenance at the manufacturer. If the franking machine is on leasehold, find out whether the supplier is available 24/7.
Additionally, some suppliers tend to offer substandard technicians. You must be very careful with technicians.
A service contract is an agreement between a franking machine vendor and the business. Typically, the deal in place is signed by both parties before the contract. Many people ignore reading the contract before signing, which is wrong. Some contracts are binding. Failure to understand the guidelines on the contract can jeopardise your business operations. Therefore, it is vital to have a lawyer in place to interpret the agreement for you before sign.
Most suppliers offer training services on how to handle new equipment. In this case, it is essential to be trained on how to handle and maintain the franking machine. Training will enhance the skills of employees handling the franking machine. Therefore, the best time to request equipment training is when negotiating the contract with the supplier. Training will not only improve efficiency but will also reduce the risks of improper use of the franking device.
Franking machines have different rates depending on the brand. A basic franking machine will only cost you a few pounds. However, a more advanced digital franking machine costs a little bit more. Something to take note of in a franking machine is the postage meter. The function of the postage meter is to keep track of all letters franked at a particular period. Other extra costs chargeable at the Royal Mail need to be accounted for as well.
The average cost of leasing a frank machine is approximately £15 per month, exclusive of other extra charges. A more complex and automated franking machine can cost as high as £100 per month. The leasing period in a contract runs up to a maximum of 3 years; with the least number of years in a lease agreement being 12 months. Consequently, it is worth taking noting other minor terms in a lease agreement. Many leasing vendors offer other incentives such as repair, training, and maintenance. Therefore, you need to be very smart when choosing the supplier.
Before buying or leasing a frank machine, it is always good to take your time. Taking your time when choosing the right vendor can save your business a lot of money. Also, before agreeing to a lease contract, make sure to at least bargain on the price.

This work is the culmination of more than 20 years' study and observation from one of the world's leading natural history photographers. Standing 10 feet tall on its hind legs, reaching more than 700kg and renowned for its singular ferociousness, the Polar Bear reigns in the North. It survives on the starkly beautiful arctic tundra, and with its tapered profile, tufted ears, snowy white coat, and coal-black eyes and nose, the Polar Bear is arrestingly photogenic.
World-renowned nature photographer Norbert Rosing takes us through the year of the polar bear showing us that the animal is not only a fierce predator, but also a loving parent and a natural jester. His engaging photogaphs and informative text invite us into a world that few ever see and which is increasingly under threat.


How far is Ngapali Beach from Yangon | Where is Ngapali Beach from Yangon?
Where to Ngwe Saung Beach?
You can drive Yangon to Ngapali. However, due to the state of the roads, we do not advise. You have two working nights, you're okay with that. Provided the street has no problems, the trip takes about 15 hours. If you break a viaduct or close a street for any occasion, you may be stranded on the street for a day or two.
That is why we suggest only for flies. At least I believe they are going to charge you about 400 USD plus 100 US dollars a day (that's my estimate).
The Ngapali Beach is located at the Bay of Bengal in the south of Rakhine State and is 175 northeast of Yangon and a similar yard south of Mrauk U. The Ngapali Beach is Sandoway (SNW), the British derivation of Thandwe, the most important state city. The Ngapali Beach is Myanmar's first seaside resorts, but it has developed discreetly and although there are more than 15 properties (with 4 more to be built), they are all small by global comparison and all within the treeline, making them practically unseen from the North.
Most of the establishments have less than 30 rooms and even the biggest, Amata, has only 100, which means that even in high seasons the maximal number of guests distributed on the 3 beach, inclusive the Ngapali beach side, is never more than 1500, so that the beach can look like an abandon.
All three of the touristy shores have smooth and gold sands, slightly descending sandy areas and the ocean is hot and serene. That January, after 10 visitations over the years, was the first a jellyfish I met, but for a few nights there were some small little bluish spines that were very uncommon for this season.
Accommodation on the beach promenade is kept free of rubbish, so the beach is usually quite clear and tourists shovel up all the thrown away cans. During the high seasons, the lowest priced rooms are now $40+, while the luxurious Boston hotel stores are charging $450+ plus for the best rooms, but there is still a large selection of hotel options for most budgets.
Most of the tourists are in the high seasons from mid-October to the end of April, when most are closed and nailed and mothed up for the monsun. Some small guesthouses in the town of Linthar are open all year round for commercial and NGO use. Monsoons can be very nasty (it is the same bad climate that has devastated Bangladesh for most years) and in a few years the fishermen will not be able to set sail for 3-month.
The visitor nationality is almost exactly Myanmar's style, with the major groups being made up of Myanmar residents in France, Germany and Italy, followed by other Europeans and with Englishspeaking immigrants in the group. But all guests are supposed to be able to speak Spanish with the local people and the local people, which is great! Originally designed for the three-day beach expansion markets, Ngapali Beach is becoming more and more regarded as a quiet and restful seaside and sunbathing area for longer trips as an alternatives to Thailand.
While the local people can use the coach from Yangon via Pyay (Prome) to Thandwe, it is not for the nerves of steel, as it is a 12 to 14 hours drive on very poor road through the jungles of the Arakan Mountains. There are only one or two off-season Yangon services per weeks - who wants to be in an ATR in the monsun!
During the high seasons there can be up to 5 departures per night from Yangon at approximately $200 round trip rates (January 13). We also offer a dayly flight in high seasons from Nyaung U (Bagan) via Heho for about $150 singles.
So where' s Yangon on a map?

Whisky distillery takes leap of faith towards the future: Kyrö Distillery investment to triple production
The Kyrö Distillery Company has two clear visions of what it wants to achieve by 2022. The first is to be the best-known rye distillery in the world. The second is to make the distillery visitor centre, housed in an old dairy building in Isokyrö, the most highly valued tourist destination in Finland.
"We have had this vision for three or four years. It seemed easier initially than it does now, because rye is a rising trend, and the competition is increasing all the time. Last year, we were the largest producer of whisky in Finland, and we are all set to challenge the Yanks, among others. No one is saying it will be easy, but if it were easy, it would not be a challenge," says distillery manager Miko Heinilä.
In order to realise the stated visions, the company is building a new whisky distillery this year to increase production. Funding was sought from the Ostrobothnia Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment, first for feasibility studies and then for the investment itself.
Rye Rye Oy applied for support to find out how the whisky distillery site could be developed so as to function as both a production facility and a visitor attraction. Also, a multitude of studies were needed as background for the new whisky distillery.
"We wanted to go to three architects' offices to get draft designs for the site to ensure that our brand will be visible everywhere. The funding we received also helped us take the time to build up good, solid plans for the fundraising round," says Heinilä.
They eventually settled on Avanto Architects, known to many as the designers of the Löyly sauna centre in Helsinki.
Even before this major investment, grants from the Ostrobothnia Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment have boosted the company, with support for instance for diverging gin and whisky production, improving in-house logistics and expanding the production premises.
Heinilä notes that the most courageous decisions were taken at the very beginning, when Heinilä pledged his home and Mikko Koskinen likewise his parents' house as collateral for a loan. Nothing was certain initially, but the success of their gin in an international competition brought them confidence. Their willingness to take a leap of faith will once again be called upon for this, the biggest individual investment in the history of the company.
"We have generally had a clear view of where we are going, but this is such a huge leap that no one can tell where it will take us. We need all the help we can get to carry the tale of Finnish rye forward. If we succeed, it will benefit not only the municipality of Isokyrö but also society at large," says Heinilä, referring to the tax revenue to be generated and the jobs to be created. In its early days, the company could only employ one of its founders; today, there are about 40 employees.
The outlook is good, to be sure. The distillery's rye whisky is on an upward trend, being available in some 30 countries to date. There are not many distilleries in the world focusing only on rye. Finnish rye is more aromatic than that which grows in the USA, for instance. Also, the cleanness of the natural environment and the farming methods are a competitive advantage. There is also the fascinating story of how the company was born in a sauna, and of course the anecdotes from local history that are associated with the company's products.
So far, the company's whisky has only been available in small batches, but the aim is to meet the demand on the market within a few years. The new distillery will increase the production capacity to 330,000 litres per year.
Last year, the visitor centre logged 14,000 visitors, which is about three times the population of the municipality. The facility cannot compete with attractions where annual visits number in the hundreds of thousands, and therefore the centre lays heavy emphasis on quality.
"We aim to provide every visitor with a personal experience, with a great price-quality ratio. That is the same goal we have with all our products, in fact," says Heinilä.

Cappa: Next Ex (Instant Karma Remix)
by Singersroom November 17, 2016
Nashville's own CAPPA gets a remix treatment from none other than Instant Karma. The LA based duo have been making a name for themselves with remixes for Chelsea Lankes, King Deco, and others. On "Next Ex" they trade in pulsing bass lines for soaring sawtooth and arpeggiated 80s runs for playful flute-esque synths. Aided by rumbling low-end, these two Los Angeles remixers make us want to throw this tune onto the top slot of every weekend playlist. And honestly, we're about to make a party playlist full of only this Next Ex remix. Check out what CAPPA & Instant Karma have to say about this one below!
"The original version of "next ex" is definitely more of a straight-up pop song. I think that's what makes this remix so fun and special to me. It shows a new side of the song that I didn't originally envision with more of a dance feel while still keeping it in the pop space. To me, Instant Karma made it totally their own and took it to a new level." – CAPPA
"We had connected with CAPPA on social media a while ago, bonding over both being female artists and bouncing back and forth about a collab, but seeing her electric performance of her single 'Next Ex' in LA at KCRW's 'School Night', pushed the collab over the edge and sparked a lot of ideas in our head for a new life for the song as an 'Instant Karma' remix. We wanted to bring out the bounce and rhythm of the song keeping it's sexy femininity with a trendy spin that could work in more of an EDM space." – Instant Karma

Small farms are in the "right place at the right time". Backed by the USDA and land-grant institutions, armed with business acumen, a solid moral and ethical compass, and a keen sense of direction, the small farm of the new millennium can be a force for change, both economically and culturally.
The Mission of This Website: To promote small farms as an agent for societal change through a holistic approach to farming while providing a forum in which beginning, novice, and experienced farmers can share their questions and knowledge.

Considering the Key Elements for Success.
"Creating the Small Farm for the 21st Century"
No element in farming is separate from any other element, and by the same token the farm is an integral part of the environment, culture,and the society in which it exists. There is a beautiful symmetry and harmony to a farm that assumes this holistic approach. While this approach has had many detractors in its formative stages, small-to-mid-size farmers (as well as the USDA and Cooperative Extension Services) have now embraced the many ecologically favorable practices at its core as not only pragmatic and socially responsible, but also as highly profitable. Every decision and consideration made within this farm model is done within the context of its cyclical ramifications; that includes how it affects nature, the family, the "bottom line, and society at large. Additionally, waste and excess is kept to a minimum, a practice which in turn raises profitability, eliminates unnecessary work, and keeps the farm flexible and agile, able to both profit from and react to market fluctuations.
Small businesses in the United States have a survival rate of 70% two years after start-up, falling to less than 25% after 15 years according to SBA data. While reasons for failure are often exogenous, improper internal financial controls that allow for the reactive contingencies to market and other negative external pressures ultimately create conditions that result in these failures. Though no small business is immune to the conditions that result in failure, those that prepare themselves in terms of financial planning and management, put themselves in a position to "weather the storm" as problems occur.
George Santayana's famous (and often corrupted) quote states," Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Within the intent of this quote lies the truth that knowledge of the past leads to a greater ability to live in harmony in the present and plan for the future. Knowing and understanding the roots of agriculture is an integral component of the holistic approach to farming. Farming (and agriculture in general), in a technical sense, can trace its roots back to prehistoric times, achieving a respectable degree of scientifically-based sophistication by the early 16th century.
In the United States, even prior to the Revolutionary War, farming began to transcend the actual physical acts of animal husbandry and planting, becoming woven into the very fabric of the nation itself and influencing all aspects of the society, from politics to social issues.
The Erie Canal was completed in 1825, providing a supply line west and a valuable water-link to the east coast for agriculturual commodities produced in the West.
In the decades preceding the Civil War, the influences of the Lyceum Movement opened the rural community to new ideas, new science, and new technology, which in turn led to a better understanding of farming as a business and farming as a science.
. In the decades spanning 1840-1860 railroads expanded their tracks by ten times allowing farmers in landlocked locations transportation access.
With a sophisticated and integrated transportation infrastructure in place, the influx of willing and able immigrants ( a number of them being Old-World farmers), new technology and technological research ongoing ( the Department of Agriculture was finally established in 1862 and the Morrill Land Grant College Law was passed) and land supplied by the Homestead Act, land speculators and the railroads, American agriculture, in a plethora of forms, was established from coast to coast by the end of the 1860's.
By the end of the Civil War, even as the Southern plantation system faded into obscurity, more than half of all Americans derived their income directly from farming as farm products accounted for 79% of all export revenue.
60% of farms operated by women grow multiple types of crops and also raise animals.
Today's successful small farmers are pioneers on the cusp of a revolution that will redefine farming and the farming lifestyle and in the process exert a significant influence on society at large. They are intelligent, educated, and goal-oriented when it comes to running a business. What sets them apart from their counterparts in other business sectors, is their deep-rooted appreciation for the lifestyle they have chosen and their personal recognition of the value of that lifestyle that transcends considerations of material wealth. Though these farmers are often humble to the point of crediting outside forces for their success, it has ultimately been their own efforts and their understanding of the "quality of life" that has led them to their success.

House Republicans prepare probe of Biden connections
News and Politics By Michel January 20, 2023
Facebook Telegram Twitter Email
Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, James Comer, said that House Republicans are set to probe President Joe Biden's connections to foreign business partners under their new majority. On NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican Kentucky Rep. Comer said that the committee, renamed from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, will hold hearings on "Biden family influence peddling," and will specifically look into the president's role in Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.
Here is what Comer said in that program: "I think any American who's kept up with the political process over the past two administrations would agree. We need to know what is allowable and what isn't allowable with respect to foreign adversarial intervention among family members of presidents of the United States."
Including Chinese, Ukrainian, and Kazakhstani businessmen, Joe Biden has repeatedly appeared on the sidelines of his son's business meetings. The president said that he has "never spoken" to his son "about his overseas business dealings," and he kept repeatedly denying that he knows anything about the business dealings, reported Daily Caller.
Communications from the laptop his son abandoned in Delaware in 2019 mention Joe Biden, and Hunter Biden also visited Mexico repeatedly while his father was vice president. The president made a trip to Mexico, while also making this trip for the first time during his presidency.
On "Meet the Press," Comer said that he will use the communications in the laptop as evidence. Comer said that "there are emails and text messages that show Hunter Biden complaining about having to spend so much money keeping his dad up. I mean, that's a concern because Hunter Biden's only source of income [was] from our adversaries in China and Russia for influence peddling."

"So this is something that we should look into. This isn't political. We want to know, was the president truthful when he said he 'didn't have any knowledge or involvement of his family's shady business dealings?' Once we've determined that, we'll move on," added Comer.
House Republicans will look into "banks and other financial institutions, business partners that were cheated or defrauded by the Bidens" and "will get answers whether they like it or not," a source close to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told the New York Post.

Church is about life, not just the after-life but making the most of this physical life as well. Bringing that message to the site visitors visually was the main focus of the design for this project. Other objectives include ease of use and the ability to cater for the widest possible audience and their web browsers.
Navigating around a site always needs to be intuitive, even the link wording can make or break a user journey. For Christ Church Mayfair we kept the navigation shallow with the help of their team (and some incredible spider diagrams) we used three different menus to take the user on a journey through the life of the church.
Men, Women and Uni Students all got special treatment with themed templates and varied colour-schemes and imagery which appeals to each demographic without losing the message of 'life'. Keeping the layout consistent through the site makes every page feel comfortable and familiar while banner images vary from page to page as each is loaded from the suitable category.
Content Management Systems (CMS) all have their strengths, but one is chosen on the back of the brief, the creative interpretation of that brief and the refinements that both we and the client agree would be in the best interest of the vistors as well as the admin team or staff who'll be involved from day to day.
handle multiple types of content, e.g. sermons, venues, articles, pdf's, banner images etc.
Clearly the ever popular WordPress wasn't going to be the easiest choice and we eventually settled on Expression Engine after hearing great things from people around us who'd used it for similar projects. In our opinion, Expression Engine is the best CMS for a church site. It's affordable and flexible and most importantly approachable from an admin-team point of view.
We're always learning new things and trying to do things that we've not done before. Building a site for a church seems like an easy thing to do at first glance. We learned alot bout ourselves throughout this project. The ability for the admin team to re-order the entries as they are created is a clear example of how By The People worked hard to keep control of the content in the hands of the team.
Different types of content fit well into Christ Church Mayfair's CMS, and that content can be layed-out in as many different ways you can imagine. Search for sermons and the ability to sort the search results with simple clicks helps the user stay in control of what they're looking for.

A Decarbonized Energy Platform Could Save Trillions
Sep 14 2022Reviewed by Mila Perera
For several years, researchers have been advising a shift to clean energy to avoid the worst effects of climate change. However, fears that such a shift would be expensive and detrimental to the economy have impeded progress.
Image Credit: University of Oxford.
Nevertheless, a study from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Post-Carbon Transition published in Joule recently illustrated the reverse: an ambitious, pivotal shift to green energy technologies, such as wind, solar, and batteries, will likely save the world substantial amounts of money.
The study demonstrates that a shift to approximately 100% clean energy by 2050 translates to lower energy system costs than a fossil fuel system while simultaneously delivering more energy to the international economy and increasing energy access to more people worldwide.
This outcome is based only on the economics of various energy technologies, even without considering the costs of damages caused by climate and climate adaptation that such an energy changeover would evade.
Fossil energy costs have risen steeply, causing inflation worldwide. This research, carried out before the present crisis, considered such variations using fossil fuel price data compiled over a century.
The current energy crisis emphasizes the study's results and shows the hazards of continuing to depend on costly, uncertain fossil fuels. The study verifies that the reaction to the crisis should include fast-tracking the shift to economic, clean energy in the short term, as this will deliver advantages for the planet and economy.
"There is a pervasive misconception that switching to clean, green energy will be painful, costly, and mean sacrifices for us all—but that's just wrong," says Professor Doyne Farmer.
Renewable costs have been trending down for decades. They are already cheaper than fossil fuels in many situations, and our research shows that they will become cheaper than fossil fuels across almost all applications in the years to come. And if we accelerate the transition, they will become cheaper faster. Completely replacing fossil fuels with clean energy by around 2050 will save us trillions.
Professor J. Doyne Farmer, Researcher, University of Oxford
For several years, customary models consistently delivered incorrect clean energy costs. The scientists examined thousands of transition cost situations generated by key energy models. They learned that the actual cost of solar energy fell twice as rapidly as the most ambitious estimations in these models. Over two decades, all of these models constantly overestimated the future expenses of major clean energy technologies as opposed to reality.
The Oxford researchers used a different method, creating a "probabilistic model" to predict the expenses of probable future energy platforms more precisely based on historical data. Probabilistic models are used extensively across industry and research to predict the probability of future events.
The betting industry, for instance, employs probabilistic models to make predictions that, while never faultless, on average obtain the odds accurately and that allowed them to reap £5.8 billion in UK profits in just 2020.
In a previous study, the researchers demonstrated accuracy in their probabilistic predictions of energy technology expenses. It tested the prediction method against several years of past data for 50 diverse technologies, using a technique known as backtesting, which is routinely used in the financial sector. The data in this research comprises 45 years of solar energy expenses, 37 years of wind energy expenses, and 25 years of battery storage.
This research, using probabilistic models, demonstrates that the probability of additional cost reductions in major green energy technologies is currently very high and that implementing the energy shift swiftly is necessary.
A standard objection to scenarios for a fast transition to net-zero carbon is the requirement for large quantities of energy storage to tackle intermittent renewables. The study illustrated that the costs for main storage technologies, such as hydrogen electrolysis and batteries, are also anticipated to drop markedly.
In the meantime, the costs of nuclear have steadily increased over the last 50 years, rendering it highly implausible to be cost-competitive with declining renewable and storage costs.
The "Fast Transition" scenario illustrated in the study reveals an accurate future of a near fossil-free energy platform by 2050, offering 55% more energy services internationally than the present, with large quantities of solar, wind, electric vehicles, batteries, and clean fuels like green hydrogen (produced from renewable electricity).
The study also illustrates that this net-zero carbon future is not only technically possible but will cost the world $12 trillion less than the current polluting fossil fuel-based system.
Lead author Dr. Rupert Way said, "Past models predicting high costs for transitioning to zero carbon energy have deterred companies from investing and made governments nervous about setting policies that will accelerate the green transition and cut reliance on fossil fuels. But past models have overestimated key green technology costs again and again, leaving modelers to play catch up as real-world costs plunged over the last decade."
Dr. Rupert Way continued, "Only a few years ago, net zero by 2050 was believed to be so expensive that it was barely considered credible, yet now even the most pessimistic models concede that it's entirely within reach."
Our research goes further and shows that scaling up key green technologies is likely to drive their costs down so far that overall they generate net cost savings, and the faster we go, the more we will save. Accelerating the transition to renewable energy is now the best bet not just for the planet, but for energy costs too.
Dr. Rupert Way, Study Lead author, University of Oxford
Professor Farmer said, "The world is facing a simultaneous inflation crisis, national security crisis, and climate crisis, all caused by our dependence on high cost, insecure, polluting, fossil fuels with volatile prices."
This study shows that ambitious policies to dramatically accelerate the transition to a clean energy future as quickly as possible are not only urgently needed for climate reasons, but can save the world trillions in future energy costs, giving us a cleaner, cheaper, more energy secure future.
The study is a partnership between the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School, the Oxford Martin Programme on the Post-Carbon Transition, and the Smith School of Enterprise & Environment at the University of Oxford, and SoDa Labs at Monash University.

This 12'x23' Oval Pool In A Box kit contains all items necessary for a complete swimming pool in one easy shipment. Just assemble, fill and enjoy! The Caspian pool model is made by Wilbar International in New York USA. Package includes complete 12'x23'x54" pool assembly, 25ga. Liberty Unibead pool liner, wide-mouth skimmer kit, Waterway 100 sq.ft. deluxe cartridge filter system, Confer A-Frame ladder, 8-piece maintenance kit, start up chemicals and pool cover. Installation manual, video and live tech support also included.
Caspian - This is a great choice for anyone looking for a top of the line long lasting full featured swimming pool. This resin hybrid is a big step up from the "all steel" base pool models because Caspian uses as many resin components as possible in it's construction. Resin is a high grade plastic material that lasts a long time and weathers very nicely. Because resin does not rust or corrode like metal, making non structural components from resin ensures a long part life. The solid resin components in this model are the injection molded 8" top ledges, frame rails, stabilizer bar, base plates, top plates and upright posts.
Caspian also has the stainless steel service panel wall. This is a steel pool wall that includes a stainless steel section in which the skimmer and return jet are located. This area in the pool wall is by far the most common point for corrosion and making the portion of the wall from stainless steel ensures the skimmer and return jet opening will never corrode. This feature alone could add many years to the longevity of your new swimming pool. Caspian is warrantied for use with a salt system.
Strong 8" wide injection molded resin ledges and SynproTM resin top ledge covers.


Over the years, Maxxis tires have taken scores of riders to racing victory. Now, Ryan Piplic has taken Maxxis to a stellar new first as he rode Bighorn 2.0 tires for a world record Side x Side jump. The jump followed Piplic's win on Ceros tires in the Ultimate UTV Challenge at the Second Annual Fuel Fest, held November 2 in St. George, Utah.
Piplic added 26 feet to the previous world record, jumping 155.66 feet. The record-setting jump was his second of the night. "I did 130 feet in my first run as a crowd pleaser, but my second run, I put everything on the line and stopped looking at my speed at 75mph, and I made it, my car made it, didn't flip," he told Polaris. Piplic, who finished second for the season in WORCS' SxS Pro Production class, is next scheduled to compete in SCORE's Baja 1000 November 14-17.
Maxxis congratulates Ryan Piplic on setting a new world record and on his victory in the Ultimate UTV Challenge.

Cracked! (Plato's Egg) puzzle
Designed by Richard Gain

Summary This is my entry for the 2015 IPP Puzzle Design competition http://www.johnrausch.com/DesignCompetition/2015/default.htm#08 Read more about the story behind this puzzle in the 'How I Designed This' section The puzzle is composed of three nested layers of dodecahedra. The challenge is to crack Plato's egg into its constituent parts, find and disassemble the trisected dodecahedron at the centre, then put it back together again. Each of the three stages requires a degree of coordinate motion. The white of the egg is particularly hard to disassemble by hand but will easily come apart by spinning the egg on the table. You will need to print: 3 of the Shell pieces in light brown 2 of the White A pieces in white or clear 2 of the White B pieces in white or clear 3 of the Yolk pieces in yellow If you like this puzzle, please consider leaving a tip to encourage me to share more of my puzzles. Print Settings Printer: Mendel90 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.15 to 0.2 mm Infill: 25% Notes: This is a tricky print that needs a well-tuned printer. If your printer is over-extruding, the pieces will NOT fit together. No support material should be required for any of the pieces but you will certainly need a good part cooling fan. How I Designed This The idea for this puzzle came from asking one simple question: Can the surface of a dodecahedron all be subdivided into a number of identical interlocking parts? Because the dodecahedron has 12 faces, there are four possible ways to divide these into equal groups. I soon discovered that two pieces each having a chain of six pentagonal faces would interlock but be impossible to separate. I also decided that six pieces each having two pentagonal faces would not make an interlocking puzzle. So, I began experimenting with three chains of four pentagons and discovered that it was indeed possible to wrap three identical shapes onto the surface of the dodecahedron. But would the pieces come apart? I used a computer program to extrude the shape outwards from a central point, turning it into a solid object. I printed out three of these shapes and proved that they could be assembled into a dodecahedron using a coordinate sliding motion. I then tried by experimenting with four chains of three pentagons. It was fairly obvious that the four parts could be assembled into a dodecahedron quite easily but without interlocking, so they would not hold together. I then had the idea of combining two complete sets of these shapes, nested one inside the other. The three pentagons of the inner group were offset in relation to the three pentagons of the outer group which allowed the shapes to lock together. I created several designs that interlocked to form a complete dodecahedron but they were all impossible to solve. At the sixth attempt, I finally managed to print a set of four pieces that could actually be assembled into a dodecahedron with a coordinate sliding motion. The final creative step came when I had the idea of combining the puzzles into a nested set of shapes representing the yolk, white and shell of an egg. Can you crack Plato's egg and put it back together?
