John Tucci, President & Founder
I founded Lake Savers in 2007. After watching my own lake deteriorate due to Eurasian Water Milfoil and a failed multi-year herbicide program, I was determined to find a better way. Not satisfied with the lack of answers coming from the "Lake Management" industry, I began an intensive search for natural technologies that work and a determination to save lakes, whatever it takes.
I came to the realization that conventional approaches to lake management including herbicides, harvesting and dredging are not sustainable and can even be detrimental to the long-term health and recreational quality of a lake.
Prior to forming Lake Savers, I was a Senior Leadership Consultant to Fortune 500 Companies and equity owner of Leap Technologies, Inc. This experience has proven to be invaluable in quickly establishing Lake Savers as a leader in the field of Lake Restoration with an unmatched reputation for customer focus. I was born and raised in Middletown, Connecticut and graduated from Amherst College with a BA in Geology.
Jeff Connors, VP Sales and Marketing
I have a cottage on Lake Tyrone that was in a downward spiral of lake weed and algae problems and tons of muck. After a few years as lake association president (since 2012), I teamed up with a passionate lake resident to find a solution. After researching dredging, alum, harvesting and more chemicals where clearly not the long-term option. We soon found Lake-Savers, now EverBlue, and presented their Aeration Solution to our residents. To my surprise, our almost always divided residents on any topic or project were nearly 100% behind the project.
I was so personally impressed with the ongoing results that I joined EverBlue in the fall of 2017, just two short years after our lake's installation. I left a growing vacation rental business in Mexico to make less money promoting and champing EverBlue and its Natural Technology Toolbox. I was at one of those points in my life where leaving a positive legacy on more lakes across the country was my motivating factor, and still is to this day. I like to say that I am "like the hair club for men guy", but for natural lake solutions. I have a full head of hair, but that commercial reference is dating myself.
I have been VP of one companying, selling out to be President of my own company, selling it to become VP Sales and Marketing for a fortune 500 company of our division. My recent business in Mexico helping people have a great vacation to remember was fulfilling, but helping people make their lake a better place to live and pass down to their children will leave more of a lasting positive mark on this earth.

Khris very quickly moved into a leadership position within Lake Savers, taking over responsibility for the maintenance and operations of our Lake Bottom Aeration Systems and specialized equipment in our largest Region. Khris is responsible for training all new technicians on the "EverBlue Whatever It Takes" approach to maintaining our systems and delivering satisfaction to our customers.

Get the DealBook newsletter to make sense of major business and policy headlines — and the power-brokers who shape them.
Let the bidding war begin.
Comcast offered to buy a large portion of 21st Century Fox for $65 billion in cash on Wednesday as the cable giant tried to spoil the Walt Disney Company's $52.4 billion deal to buy those same assets.
DealBook decided to look at the numbers:
What's the premium?
Comcast's $35-a-share bid is 19 percent higher than the value of Disney's all-stock offer, which valued Rupert Murdoch's company at $29.54 a share when they struck the deal on Dec. 14. It also exceeds Comcast's all-stock proposal worth $34.41 per share made in November.
Where does it rank among the biggest deals?
Comcast's bid for the Fox assets would rank as the 16th-largest deal on record and the third-largest media deal, according to Dealogic. The deal is also the third-largest acquisition announced this year. Interestingly, Comcast now has two potential deals in the Top 10. Comcast's $41.4 billion bid for Sky ranks sixth.
What is the breakup fee?
The breakup fee was viewed as an important part of Comcast's attempt to win over Mr. Murdoch and Fox's other shareholders. Fox had rejected Comcast's offer in November partially over regulatory concerns, and some said a big breakup fee would help assuage Fox's concerns. Comcast offered to pay Fox $2.5 billion if the deal failed to gain regulatory approval. That's the same as the breakup fee Disney agreed to pay and it ranks as the 11th largest on record, according to Dealogic.
How much did Comcast agree to sell in assets?
As DealBook explained Tuesday, Comcast's bid would involve elements of both a horizontal merger and a vertical merger. To help satisfy regulators, Comcast agreed to sell any of Fox's regional sports networks and any assets generating up to $500 million of earnings before earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Disney made the same offer.
How will it impact the much-watched rankings of deal advisers?
Comcast is being advised by Bank of America and Wells Fargo. The deal pushed Bank of America up one place in the global rankings of advisers by announced deal volume, according to Dealogic. It is now ranked fourth. Wells Fargo shot all the way up to 13th from 23rd.

Greenworks Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
Trusty Joe's Top Picks
Here's a glimpse of the two best products you can get.
My full reviews and buying guide on the best cordless lawn mower models are below.
Greenworks Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
BLACK+DECKER Cordless Lawn Mower
How to pick the best cordless lawn mower for the cheapest price
If you're anything like me, you like to have a well-kept lawn but could do without all of the fuss that comes with a gas-powered mower.
Up until last year, I had been using a gasoline lawn mower to cut my yard, and it finally died on me at the end of the summer. So, I was in the market for buying a new one.
While I like to keep my lawn looking neat and tidy, over the years I've also become more attuned to trying to do my part to become more healthy and help the environment.
For those reasons, I started looking into more environmentally-friendly options for a replacement mower. During my search, electric lawn mowers jumped out at me as the perfect choice.
However, I didn't want to be stuck tripping over a cord or run the risk of running over it when I cut the grass. After a little digging, I discovered there were actually cheap cordless lawn mowers you could buy that were just as powerful as the kind that plugged into an outlet.
The thing that appealed to me most, however, was that these types of lawn mowers didn't require much maintenance. With my old gas mower, I had to keep up with yearly oil changes, spark plug replacements, and spending countless dollars on fuel.
Plus, with the rising prices of gasoline where I live, the cost to cut my grass really started to add up!
Today, the top cordless lawn mowers help you keep more money in your pocket while also keeping your yard looking great all summer long.
Buying the best cheap cordless lawn mower I could find made my yard maintenance a breeze. This new machine lets me trim around my wife's flower beds more easily and maneuver around all of our yard ornaments without getting tangled up in a cord or stopping to refuel.
On top of that, another thing I really liked about this lawn mower was that it was so lightweight. This allowed even my youngest child to help with the yard work without the weight of the mower becoming an issue.
But how do you find the best cordless electric lawn mower without digging into your summer vacation funds?
That's where I can help!
As your trusty companion, I've researched and compared more than 16 different cordless electric lawn mowers—all for the sake of bringing you this handy buying guide.
But before we get into my reviews for the top cordless electric lawn mowers, there are a few useful things I learned along the way when I was picking out my own new machine.
I'll go over those next.
Features to look for in the best cordless electric lawn mower
Before we jump into the list of top rated cordless lawn mower reviews, there are some important options you'll want to consider before making a purchase.
These types of mower come in all shapes and sizes, and offer some subtle differences in features. By paying attention to what options are available on these machines, you'll be able to find the best electric mower for your needs while also saving the most amount of money.
Cutting deck size
The cutting deck size determines how much grass you can cut at one time.
It also determines how many times you'll have to go back and forth to finish your yard. The larger the blade, the less passes you'll have to do as you mow.
Personally, I like the slightly smaller cutting decks because I have a lot of tight spaces and things to go around in my yard. But, if you have a large yard with few obstacles, you might want to get a lawn mower with a larger cutting deck, so you don't have to make so many passes.
My top picks below range between 12 to 20 inches for the cutting decks.
Run time
Since you're not running on gas or a power cord when using a cordless mower, you want to make sure that you have enough battery juice to get the job done.
If you have a small yard, or don't mind stopping to recharge your lawn mower, this isn't a big deal, but if you have a large yard, or lots to do, it can become a pain.
My recommendations below for the best cordless lawn mower have run times starting at 20 minutes and going up to 70 minutes on a single charge. Keep in mind that you can always buy extra batteries to extend these mowing times even longer.
Height adjustment
Your lawn mower's height adjustment dictates how tall or short you can cut your grass.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain, you may want to cut your grass shorter, so you don't have to cut it as much. But if you live somewhere that doesn't receive much rainfall, you might want to leave the grass longer, so it doesn't burn off.
The top rated cordless lawn mowers you'll find below have height adjustments starting at just over one inch and going up to over three inches.
Grass catching bag
Do you like a neat yard that's free of grass clippings when you're finish mowing? Or are you someone who doesn't mind having that grass mulched into your yard?
If you prefer to keep your lawn tidy, then a grass catching bag is a must-have item.
A grass catcher lets the blades of grass funnel into a bag that you can dump out when you're done mowing. It also acts as a safety feature to catch flying rocks or other debris when you're cutting the lawn.
No matter if you want to collect your grass clippings or not, a grass cather is a great thing to have. Four out of my five top picks have this handy bag attachment.
A lot of gas-powered lawn mowers are heavy, and this can be a problem your yard has hills.
In my case, I struggled to push my old lawn mower up the hill in our back yard, and it would wear me out quick.
Fortunately, most electric lawn mowers are lighter and easier to push than the gas-powered mowers.
If you don't have mobility issues or mind a heavier mower, an electric mower with a larger cutting deck won't be a problem. If you want a lightweight option, get an electric mower whose cutting deck is below 20 inches because the 20-inch cutting deck and up models weigh just as much as a gas-powered mower.
The electric lawn mowers I review next start at just over 14 pounds and go up to almost 50 pounds, so it's important you pay attention to the weight if you think it may be a concern.
The Top 5 Best Cheap Cordless Lawn Mowers
During my research, I uncovered a lot of good (and bad) products when putting together this list of cordless electric lawn mower reviews.
After comparing the best products—and weeding out the junk—I was finally able to narrow down the top five winners for you. All of the lawn mowers below are excellent choices and will get the job done without breaking the bank.
I hope you find the best inexpensive electric mower for your home among this list.
Happy mowing,
Trusty Joe
Cordless Lawn Mower Reviews
Greenworks Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
If you want the best cordless electric lawn mower without any worries, this is it!
At 20 inches wide, this mower has the largest cutting deck out of any other product on this list so you can get the job done faster.
It's also outfitted with two 10-inch cutting blades. The dual blade design is an amazing feature to have because it offers superior cut quality and better mulching than you get in a one-blade mower.
This cordless mower also has the longest running time on a single charge – 70 minutes. And with an innovative smart cut technology, this machine adjusts its power and runtime on the fly based on the thickness of the grass.
If you want a variety of grass cutting heights, this mower has the most options for you.
With an adjustable 5 position cutting deck that ranges from 1 1/4-inch to 3 1/8-inch, you can cut your grass to the perfect length no matter where you use it.
Finally, a detachable rear bag is also included for you to collect grass clippings as you mow or mulch them into your existing lawn.
As you can see, this electric mower is a powerful machine that has everything you need to get the job done. If you want a beautiful lawn without much fuss, you should give it a try!
BLACK+DECKER Cordless Lawn Mower
This is the second best cordless lawn mower you can buy for a budget price.
In fact, you can often find it for around $100 less than my top pick. However, it does have a few differences that you should be aware of.
This mower has a slightly smaller 16-inch cutting deck. This usually isn't a big deal but it will add some time if you're mowing a large yard.
Fortunately, you still get a wide variety of grass cutting heights. It has six adjustable intervals between 1 1/5-inch to 3 1/5-inch.
Run time can be a concern. At 30 minutes per charge, it's just under half of my top pick. So if you choose this model then it would be a good idea to stock up on some extra batteries so you can mow for longer periods of time.
The grass catching bag is a standard feature. However, the mower's handle folds down so you can store it in more convenient locations. Another nice touch is that this product includes carrying handles to make it easy to lift or carry.
For the price, this is a really nice choice for an electric mower that doesn't use a cord.
Snow Joe Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
If you're looking for a cheap cordless lawn mower that packs a lot of power, but won't break the bank, this is a top rated choice.
With a 14-inch cutting deck, it's ideally made for small to medium size yards, but if you really want to push it to the limits you can cut a large yard. It will just take more time.
Since it's a cordless mower for smaller areas, the total battery run time makes sense at 25 minutes.
With the cheaper price also comes a limit on the cutting deck height positions. Here, you get 3 levels between 1 1/6-inch to 2 1/2-inch.
Although it's inexpensive, you still get the option of collecting grass cuttings or mulching them into your existing yard by taking off the grass catcher bag.
All in all, this a really powerful electric mower for a very low price. If you want to test the waters on a cordless mower without spending a lot of money, this is going to be your best option.
Worx Cordless Electric Lawn Mower
If you liked the sound of my #3 top cordless lawn mower above but weren't thrilled about the cutting deck height options, you may want to consider this machine right here.
It's very similar to the Snow Joe mower, but gives you a a better cutting height range between 1 1/2-inch to 3 1/2-inch. If you like to keep your grass longer and thicker, this is likely a better fit.
The run time also lasts longer. You can get between 30 to 45 minutes depending on how flat or hilly your yard is.
And finally, this model includes a folding handle, so you can have more options for storing it.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, give this cordless lawn mower a try!
BLACK+DECKER 3-in-1 Cordless Lawn Mower
My final recommendation for the best cordless electric lawn mower is this 3-in-1 machine right here.
Unlike the other products on my list, this machine easily converts from a mower to a trimmer to an edger.
If you have a small yard that you want to keep tidy, it's one of the best things to own since it lets you tackle three jobs at once without having to purchase each tool separately.
It's also really cheap and you won't find a better deal when it comes to buying a mower, trimmer, and edger.
The cutting deck is 12-inches wide. It runs for 20 minutes at a time and is super lightweight at 14.4 lbs.
It does lack a grass catching bag, but the added bonus of two other lawn tools more than makes up for it!

Types of Cordless Lawn Mowers
When it comes to buying a cordless electric lawn mower, you'll find that it comes in two types: mulching and grass catching.
A mulching cordless lawn mower is one that chops up the grass into fine pieces and then discharges it back to the lawn as you mow. Some people prefer this method of mowing because the grass clippings add nutrients back to the soil as they decompose.
The downside to mulching electric lawn mowers is that the grass clippings can tend to make your grass look brown, especially in hotter climates where the mulched grass doesn't decompose as quickly.
Another common issue is that mulching a lawn with a lot of weeds can end up fertilizing a larger part of the yard with those weeds.
A grass catching cordless lawn mower is one that collects the grass into a bag as you mow the lawn. This allows you to do whatever you please with the clippings and eliminates the labor of using a rake and bag to collect the mulched grassed. If you're going to invest in a cordless lawn mower.
I suggest that you buy one that includes a grass catcher. That way, you can decide later if you want to collect the grass clippings or not. While each of the top cordless lawn mowers I recommend above has a grass catcher, using it is optional.
Another good rule of thumb here is that you may want to mulch grass at certain times of the year and collect the clippings during others. For example, mulching is best done in the early spring and late fall so that the grass clippings can return as many nutrients as possible to the soil while collecting your clippings during the hot summer months will give your lawn time to breathe.
Benefits of Cordless Electric Lawn Mowers
If you're in the market to buy a cordless electric lawn mower, you likely already know why you're getting it. However, it's still good to point out the many benefits you'll enjoy by making this type of purchase.
Here are the top benefits for cordless lawn mowers:
- Cheaper: It's no surprise that gas-powered lawn mowers cost money to operate. And when you compare the price of owning and operating one of those mowers (i.e. gasoline, oil, filters, and spark plugs) you'll find that it costs about $4.50 per acre to use. Electric mowers can save you a substantial amount of money since they don't require gas-powered features (only electricity to charge a battery) and average around $1.00 per acre.
- Environmentally friendly: 5% of the nation's air pollution is contributed to gas mowers. Cordless electric lawn mowers don't produce emissions, making them better for our environment.
- Easy start: These lawn mowers start with the touch of a button which means there's no hard cord to pull or carburetor to prime with gas.
- Less weight: Without the hefty parts of a gas-powered mower, electric models weight much less. That makes these machines easier to push around your yard and easier to operate for people who have difficulty moving heavy things.
- Less noise: Cordless lawn mowers are much quieter than gas lawn mowers, and with most electric mowers, you don't need to wear ear protection. The loudest cordless mowers are as loud as a washing machine.
- Less maintenance: Without gasoline, oil, filters, or spark plugs to worry about, these lawn mowers are very cheap to maintain. Just make sure you charge the battery correctly and you won't incur any other expense besides a new blade.
- Unlimited movement: The major advantage of cordless lawn mowers over corded electric mowers is that you have no restrictions of movement. Corded models require you to be plugged in, which can limit your mobility. Also, you have to watch out for the cord while mowing. Cordless models give you total freedom to mow your lawn just like a gas-powered lawn mower.
Common Questions About Cordless Lawn Mowers

No. Cordless lawn mowers don't use oil or include spark plugs; making the top cordless lawn mowers much easier to maintain than their gas-powered counterparts.

Molded Splash Guards for the Buick LaCrosse 2015

Molded Splash Guards for the Buick LaCrosse 2015 are the big secret to keeping value to a car. Why? It is because it is one of the misunderstood and overlooked pieces as far as the car part industry goes. Most people just think it helps reduce splash that hits other cars from yours. However, they have a purpose that is more than just that and could, in fact, play a bigger part for your safety than you realize. It actually involves another overlooked part which is the side rocker panels. However, these two parts, in concert can mean a lot for your safety or lack of safety in a certain situation.
Molded splash guards actually protect the side rocker panel from experiencing dirt, mud, and debris that could enter the smallest of cracks and crevasses of the side rocker panel. You might wonder what the big deal is because of that and that the side rocker panel might not be that important. However, it is very important in newer style cars. Newer cars are built with crumple zones, specifically areas in the front and back. The one zone you do not want crumpling is the passenger cabin or the area where the passengers and driver are located. The side rocker panels actually are a part of the passenger cab and help make sure that the cabin does not crumple with you inside of it. You might be wondering why no one tells you about this or why the rocker panels are not discussed as being a major component of safety. The fact is that they were not used as much in the past until newer models so most people do not know that they should mention it because they lack the knowledge.

That Sohum Shah believes in putting his money where his mouth is, is amply demonstrated by the latest announcement from his production company Recyclewala Films. On October 15, the company embarked on the Recyclewala Story Search 2015, which seeks interesting stories from every part of India and incubate them in order to produce original screenplays, with the possibility of making them into films. Shah says, "Whatever films we have made at Recyclewala films first came to us as ideas, and then we nurtured them into good screenplays. This has shown us that there are a lot of ideas brewing in this country and that there is a lot of storytelling talent out there. The trouble is that most of them don't know how to go from the idea stage to the screenplay stage, and this is what we want to help them with."
As part of the incubation, the selected writers will be given Rs 5 lakh each, so that they are not bothered by mundane worries like bills and rents, says Shah. The atmosphere will be "judgement-free" and the production house is willing to risk the possibility that some of the selected ideas may not come to fruition as completed screenplays. "As an actor, I know what it's like to be sensitive, especially if you're new. If you want to do something, you need a space that is safe and without judgement."
The Story Search is part of what Shah has done since he acted in and produced Anand Gandhi's Ship of Theseus. He says that he doesn't go by labels and is very open to working even in "mainstream" films, since he is only driven by his desire to work in movies with a good, strong script. This was what attracted him to the Meghna Gulzar-directed Talvar too, he says. "I saw that the script authored by Vishal Bhardwaj was very strong and engaging, and Meghna Gulzar's research was superb. She knew the case inside-out." It was also difficult to resist the chance to work with Bhardwaj and Irrfan Khan, he says.
Shah's work in Talvar, in particular, has drawn a lot of praise and he says he's delighted when people tell him that they couldn't tell it was him in the film. "So many people have said that even after the film ended, they didn't realise that it was the same guy who was in Ship of Theseus," he says, "That's a huge compliment, because the two characters of Navin (Ship of Theseus) and Vendant (Talvar) are complete opposites."
Shah will next be seen in Gandhi's "epic film" which is set in 1920, playing the lead.

Heat Pump 101
When most people think about their air conditioning, the word "heat pump" does not immediately come to mind. However, heat pumps can be used to both heat and cool and are often a part of both heating and cooling systems.
So what exactly is a heat pump? A heat pump is a device that has the ability to move hot air from one location to a different location. Heat pumps are used in many heating systems to pull the heat from the ground or out of the air, which is then used to heat a room. However, this process can also be reversed, in which case a heat pump pulls the heat out of a room and moves it elsewhere, effectively cooling that room.
How does it work? Heat pumps work off the principle that heat naturally moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. A heat pump is designed to alter that system, taking the heat from lower temperature areas (such as the outdoor air or the ground – known as a heat "source") and moving it into a higher temperature area (such as the inside of your home – known as the heat "sink").
The most common type of heat pump is an air-air heat pump. An air-air pump is set up to take hot air from the outside of the home and send it to your home's indoor air ducts. This air is then sent throughout the home, heating up the different rooms.
This all makes perfect sense as far as heating a home. So how does a heat pump work with our air conditioning in order to cool your home? In order to work with your cooling system, a heat pump needs a reversing valve. When switched, the reversing valve reverses the flow of air. This means that instead of pumping hot air into your home, the heat pump works to take the hot air inside of your home and pump it to the outside.
Heat pumps are a smart way to cool a room because they are more energy efficient. Because a heat pump is used to transfer heat, less fuel is needed in order to cool down the air. Heat pumps work best in climates that are more moderate and when used properly can help bring down the cost of your energy bill.

For me, one of the most interesting developments in the 21st century so far has been the adaptation of old school active measures to new technologies. If you've been awake the past few years you're probably familiar with it. Short version, the Russian government has taken the internet, psychological operations, and its existing services to build an effective society-cleaving scythe.
Psychological operations and active measures are nothing new. I won't go into the long history, suffice it to say every nation has engaged in them to some extent over the course of history. It's cheaper then firing missiles and plausible deniability does go a long way. Today, it's even cheaper to launch a multi-pronged operation on multiple fronts as the attack surface has expanded exponentially with the emergence of social media. Some, myself included, might even say the use of such weapons against democracies could be a veiled effort to move more open societies to push for internet sovereignty by using the very tool which they believe threatens them – freedom of speech.
If we are to go down that road – mandating all online interactions have some human attribution for identity and location – well there's a saying about hunting monsters.
Still, that seems to be the path we are on now here in the U.S. Long the champion of an unbounded internet, we now have to contend with what that means – that anyone with the technical know how can launch disinformation and misinformation campaigns with very real ground results – against the entire population with relative ease.
Yes, real ground results – in case you hadn't heard, false personas and groups literally created the environment for rallies and protests on both sides of the same issue. Divide and conquer?
So what is a democracy (or democratic leaning) nation to do? Close up the borders? Require everyone exercising their free speech to provide proof of identity – regardless of the type of speech? Do we abandon privacy in the name of security, or does free speech – regardless of type – mandate publicity? Do we monitor everyone? If so, will we use that information?
In World War II, my grandfather was a tail-gunner on a B-17 who was shot down over Nazi occupied France. I don't know what if any relationship that has to the following, but I present it for context of the man. When I was a kid he told me, "believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." Sometimes I think he set me up to be something of a cynic, he certainly set me up to think critically for myself.
So an alternative to becoming the monsters we seek to defeat, encourage critical thinking. Checking sources is fine, but that too has its limits as the technology to impersonate anyone has now reached terrifying levels. Everyone would like you to make you decision in 30 seconds or less, that's the way everything is served here in the West, but it's your life – you don't have to be rushed. Stop, take a breath and be mindful of whatever it is going on between those ears. Who is thinking? Is it you? What assumptions are you making? Do you care about your biases? Why do you believe what you believe in?
Believing in half of what you see and none of what you hear is the best guidance anyone could give in the face of information operations. I don't know if that was what my grandfather was getting at, maybe he just didn't want me to be duped by car salesmen – but how different is that?

"For years we have been told that hand hoes belong to the museum yet it's what most of our people us. I never thought in my lifetime I would own a tractor and ditch the hoe," exclaims Mama Zuhura Chonya, proudly looking at her machine doing rounds at a neighbor's farm in Ifunda village, Iringa Rural District.
From farming with hand hoe for years, later on, animal traction and finally mechanical power, it has been a long journey, that has taken her almost three decades.
Most of her life has been a mix of teaching and farming, but after retiring last year as a teacher, she now concentrates on farming as a business, full time.
In the last ten years, she ditched the hand hoe for ox ploughing, but deep in her heart, she always wished to have a tractor. "It was an impossible dream, yet kept lingering," she says.
As a farmer leader, last April, officials of ETC Agro Tractors & Implements Ltd approached her and convinced her to take a loan for a tractor. After soul-searching, she decided to take the risk. Little did she know that it would change her life completely for better as a farmer and as a businesswoman.
"I think the best part of my life as a farmer started in May 2017, after I acquired this Mahindra Tractor you see here, I am happy, and feel privileged," says the retired primary school teacher. She uses the machine to plough her land. She does the same for her neigbours' farms at a fee. When the tractor is not on the farm, she uses it to ferry timber and other farm ware at a fee.
Initially, her plans were to repay the loan for the tractor within a year, but after making a considerable income within three months, she settled the full amount. The demand for the tractor services by smallholder farmers and businesses in her area have been very high. She says they find the machine doing a better job than hand hoes – the machine is quick and cost-effective. Farmers groups organize themselves and hire the tractor to till their lands.
"This has been a very profitable undertaking," she says. After paying her loan back in full by end of August 2017, in September and October, the business was very good, enabling her almost to recoup her capital back. She is working with ETC Agro Tractors & Implements Ltd to acquire more farm implements.
Another lead farmer, Mr. Chesco Mbereka based in Kilolo District and Morogoro Rural District, in June 2017, thanks to Tracify partnership, with a down payment of 30 percent at CRDB Bank, managed to acquire a Mahindra tractor from ETC Agro Tractors & Implements Ltd. He was in need of a tractor but never thought he would be able to acquire one.
The last 3 weeks it has ploughed about 200 acres. "I am able to repay back my loan on a timely basis". Mama Chonya and Mr. Mbereka are part of millions of smallholder farmers in Tanzania who in normal circumstances, find it impossible to raise funds to purchase capital-intensive farm machinery, like tractors in order to save labour and time. One of the major reasons for the failure, is lack of security to offer banks to get loans. In Tanzania, very few financial institutions take farmland as collateral because of titling complications and policies.
Mbereka is very happy that the new "Tractify" partnership takes that hurdle of collateral away. "I did not have any extra collateral for the loan. Once I had 30 % of the price of the tractor, CRDB was able to lend me the money for the tractor. ETC Agro has an arrangement with the bank, so it was not complicated to get the machine!" he notes.
According to Mrs. Hedwig Siewertsen, Head of Inclusive Finance in AGRA, many smallholder farmers would like to mechanize their operations but lack of financing is one of the major hindrances. For agriculture to move to next level, she says smallholder farmers like the duo, need to mechanize their lands. Siewertsen is convinced that partnership between AGRA and ETC Agro Tractors and Implements Ltd to improve the yields and incomes of about 40,000 smallholder farmers in Tanzania, will leave a lasting mark. "Taking affordable access to mechanization to small farmers is a fundamental shift that is able to double and triple their yields and incomes", she notes.
In the past, smallholder farmers were not able to benefit from tractor import programmes as they could not afford the same. She says the current partnership is different as it brings in multiple partners ranging from financial institutions, local government authorities, private companies that buy produce and machinery companies working together to enable farmers to move from farming to survive to farming as a business that thrives.
"Lead farmers and farmers' group can now organize themselves and own tractors and other mechanization equipment," she says, adding the model is very sustainable for its commercially viable for smallholder farmers.
The partnership pilot has started operations in Iringa and Mbeya, with a contribution from AGRA's Financial Inclusion Program financed by the Mastercard Foundation.
Tringo: Major innovation
"We all understand that it might not be immediately possible for every farmer to buy a tractor but at the same time the need for doing mechanized farming is there. We identify potential lead farmers who can contribute 35% margin money and qualify for financing from the nearby banks," notes Mr. Praveen Chandra, EATIL Tanzania Country Manager.
EATIL has developed a call centre "Tringo" where tractor owners, irrespective of the brand, can register themselves free of cost. Smallholders farmers will use "Tringo" to rent tractors.
Adoption of mechanized agriculture for smallholder farmers will go a long way to consolidate Tanzania as Africa's powerhouse breadbasket, considering that the country has about 44 million HA classified as suitable for agriculture and only about 10.1 million HA or 23% is under cultivation.

text: James B. Spencer - May 13, 2011 Covered In Armor: The Curly-Coat Retriever The curly-coat retriever is tough in water and on land. By James B. Spencer With a love for water and an inherent drive for birds, the curly-coat is a stellar hunting partner.Developed in England by gamekeepers through the first two-thirds of the 19th century, the curly-coat retriever was not "to the manor born."No, in traditional British driven hunts, this blue-collar retriever didn't get to work side-by-side with England's blue-bloods: the flat-coat, the Labrador and the golden. Instead, after the hunt, the gamekeeper and his dog picked up the shot birds that the nobility's dogs failed to find. This job frequently lasted far into the night. British gamekeepers, hard-pressed and practical men, developed this breed for that exact purpose. Being busy full-time managing their noble bosses' estates, birds and dogs, these men created a breed that required minimal training -- a breed that marks well, retrieves naturally and has an outstanding nose. Since those driven hunts had no limit on the number of birds shot, they produced a breed with stamina and perseverance. Because the cover on British estates could be punishing, they formed a breed with an almost bulletproof coat that, happily, is also almost waterproof. And, not surprisingly, they developed a large breed -- on the average, our largest retriever.Curly GenealogyWhat breeds were used to develop the curly? No one knows for sure, because gamekeepers had even less time for record keeping than for training their dogs. Tradition says they started with the now-extinct English water spaniel, the St. John's Newfoundland and some sort of retrieving setter. Many speculate that at some point they added Irish water spaniels and poodles to the program. However, the curly's tightly curled, hard coat differs so completely from the softer coats of those two breeds that some people question that theory. In the late 1800s, hunters in Australia and New Zealand imported curlies for both upland game and waterfowl retrieving. Since the waterfowl there includes huge swans, the Australians and New Zealanders began breeding even larger curly-coats.The first recorded importation of curlies into the United States was in 1907, and the American Kennel Club accepted the breed in 1924. However, the breed never gained much popularity in this country, largely because many of those who would most benefit from the curly's talents have had a long-standing "previous engagement" with the Chesapeake Bay retriever.Protective coatAccording to the AKC breed standard, curly males should stand between 25 and 27 inches at the withers, and females between 23 and 25 inches. Males typically weigh about 80 pounds, females about 70. Some specimens, especially those with ancestors in Australia or New Zealand, are larger. Although quite muscular, the curly stands tall and lithe, rather than short and stocky, thus moves gracefully. In color, the coat is either solid black or solid liver, with perhaps a few white hairs on the chest.The coat is the breed's most distinguishing, most valuable and yet most misunderstood feature. When they hear the breed's name, many assume the coat is soft and fluffy, given to picking up burrs that go in easily and sink in deeply. This misconception has prevented many hunters who could have benefited from the curly's many talents from even considering one. Too bad.Actually, the curly's coat comprises a mass of short, tight, hard curls that provide protection like a suit of armor. Such a coat shields the dog from both punishing cover and icy water. In the uplands, a curly might pick up a few burrs, but they remain on the outer surface, where the owner can easily pluck them off -- if the dog doesn't beat him to it. In the water, this coat protects the dog so well that even after many retrieves, his skin remains dry. Loyal to OneThe curly matures slowly, both physically and mentally, but especially the latter. He might not emotionally mature until his third birthday. Whether mature or immature, he's milder-mannered than the Chesapeake. Nevertheless, the curly is no shrinking violet. In fact, his natural courage and determination complement his physical strength quite nicely.A one-family dog that works out better living in the home rather than in a kennel, he chooses his own favorite person from among the family members, and does so in some mysterious way that even long-time curly fanciers cannot understand. He'll try especially to please that one person, both around home and in ordinary situations out in the field.But sometimes in the field, he ignores the boss's command and responds instead to an inner voice that seems to take over. Afterward, he'll accept chastisement stoically, but that inner voice will never go completely away. "Thank heaven it won't!" says the typical curly owner, realizing this trait springs from the breed's outstanding natural instincts.Both protective and territorial, the curly makes an excellent watchdog. However, he warns and admonishes for as long as possible before getting physical with an intruder. He stands his ground, bristles and growls, seeming to say, "Please don't make me do something we'll both regret." Said intruder should heed that heartfelt admonition, for if pushed too far, the curly can get physical.As an innate retriever and an extraordinary marker, the curly doesn't take readily to the rote drilling required in blind retrieve training. Like other naturally gifted breeds, the curly gets creative if subjected to too much repetition in a training session. He can find an amazing array of new paths to the dummy pile. This creativity prevents the chief benefit of rote drilling, which is consistency. Thus, to keep a curly from realizing he's being drilled, a savvy trainer mixes marked retrieves in between repetitions of rote lining and casting drills.Natural DriveLike his alleged American relative, the Chesapeake, the curly takes easily to serious goose hunting and will subdue the largest, most cantankerous, crippled goose. The two breeds differ only in that the curly does it with consummate competence, whereas the Chessie does it with eager delight. Either way, that goose ends up in the boss's gamebag.The curly loves water, which might seem surprising, since British gamekeepers developed the breed for retrieving upland game. However, when sent to Australia and New Zealand, these dogs took naturally to water. Ditto when they came to America. Perhaps we should attribute this fringe benefit to pure serendipity.These dogs are so big and strong that they can make repeated, long swims in heavy seas without tiring. Unfortunately, with today's waterfowling conditions and bird limits, opportunities for such extended labors seldom occur, but a dog that can handle them can also handle all the lesser chores we routinely assign to our waterfowling pooches.As a result, this breed makes an excellent all-around waterfowl retriever. And among our retriever breeds, the curly just might be the best upland gamebird hunter.But with a calm nature, curly works well from a shore blind, boat or field blind, too. His coat takes on little water, which is especially nice when hunting from a boat. His calm nature also makes him a great companion for the jump shooter, who needs a dog that heels well without frequent verbal reminders. In pass shooting, where some birds fall at great distances and in challenging cover, his extraordinary marking and memory talents serve the hunter well.

Looking at State-Society Relations in China through the Lens of Homeowners' Association Movements
Lei CHEN, Associate Professor and Associate Dean, City University of Hong Kong School of Law
The past two decades have witnessed increased levels of private homeownership and domestic protest in China, despite a growing economy and rising living standards. While the literature on resistance has flourished, there remains limited scholarship on how China's state or local governments have responded to this challenge. My study argues that the response of the authoritarian Chinese regime goes beyond simply ratcheting up the use of coercion. Rather, Chinese authorities have incentivized local governments and courts to aggressively respond to homeowners' protests (whether through law changes or concession), and to address their grievances in a more flexible and coordinated manner. State-society relations are seen as mutually transformative and not necessarily lopsided through the lens of HOA movements. This paper draws on the data on all HOA-related cases between 2010 and 2014 in Shenzhen and several interviews with local governmental officials, HOA members and judges dealing specifically with HOA-related disputes. In so doing, the talk examines the vitality of emerging property rights trends and reveals how the introduction of private property rights in China has altered the fabric of its state-society interplay.

Second party data doesn't only deliver quality, but you can finally gain quality at scale.
Transparency Is Needed More Than Ever
"I shouldn't have to think about serving an ad to someplace that's not viewable, which is not really human, that's not in a brand safe environment, that technology should already be in my server. Do I need to pay again on top of that? "
– Oliver Meletz, head of international communication & Media Planning, VW Q&A at Festival Of Media
In an era of transparency brands like P&G and Unilever are taking an active role in vendor selection. The agenda behind this decision, is to drive a new level of transparency across partners and optimize investments.

I'm connected to the 'net via Optus HFC, have ordered Optus NBN, which will be installed in a couple of weeks, plus a Fetch stb which includes a free channel pack. The Fetch box has arrived and I have the activation code.
Is it OK to install the Fetch box and free channel pack using my existing HFC connection and modem and then just switch to the new Optus modem when the NBN is installed.
Solved! Solved: Go to Solution.
Hi there @johnbardell,
It's worth a shot! The Fetch set top box is registered against your primary Optus username.
Given that you'll be switching from Optus Cable to NBN - your username should have remained as is.
The channel pack is billed to your NBN account. If the plan isn't yet active, I'm not sure if you'd have access to your free premium channel pack.
Thanks Dan.
Have connecedt the Fetch box to my existing modem & HFC connection with no issues. Will wait unitl my NBN account is activated (next week) before trying to access a channel pack.
That's not a problem @johnbardell
If any other questions come up, shout out 🙂

James Is Doing Total Warrior, Leeds - 10/05/17
Total Warrior is happening this June in Bramham Park. Not heard of it? Nor had we until our Director James signed up for it!
Taking place on Saturday 24th & Sunday 25 June 2017, it essentially consists of 30 punishing obstacles along a 12k route… including 'Peaks Of Pain', 'The Plunge' and Human BBQ'.
But why we hear you ask? Well… James wants to help raise some money for a very good cause.
We recently met Eliza. Eliza is 6 years old suffers with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Approximately 1 in every 1000 children are affected by JIA. Eliza needs regular hospital treatment alongside weekly injections at home to manage her JIA. Her medication causes nausea, fatigue and mouth ulcers. It also increases her risk of developing cancer. She also suffers with Uveitis, a sight threatening condition associated with JIA. There is no cure. Some children will grow out of JIA however Eliza's type means she will most likely spend her life battling against this crippling condition.
So, there you go. James is raising money for NRAS. They are the only UK patient led charity dedicated to supporting thousands of adults with Ra and children with Junior Idiopathic Arthritis… which is what Eliza suffers with.
If you can help, please click the link below and sponsor James. It really doesn't matter how much you can spare. Every pound will help.
We're hoping to help him along his way with some training challenges too, so keep an eye out on our social channels!
Thank you

Maybe you're thinking about starting your online business but you have no idea how your website should look like. This guide with the best web design ideas for a creative business website will help!
Website design decisions are rough.
I've redesigned my own website at least 3 times, just because I was searching for the best solutions to all my needs (perks of being a web designer!).
In the same time, I know there are tons of creatives out there struggling with this, spending loads of time for designs that are still not working for them, not bringing the results and overall are not satisfying.
Therefore, I've tried to gather some of the best web design practices for creative business website: whether you're a blogger, coach, online entrepreneur, freelancer, craft maker or literally anything else!
These tips will help you to get the ball rolling.
The best web design practices for creative business website
Be clear about your offer
Making your message obvious is crucial! It takes only a few seconds for the person to decide whether or not to take a look at your content. Therefore, make sure that you're super clear on what you have to offer!!
Make it easy to sign up on your email list
A successful email list is HUGE in growing your online business. Most of the popular online business owners have a clear call-to-action that'll make you want to be on their list NOW!!
Don't forget the introduction!
Being personal on your website is really important if you want for people to remember you. One of the first steps to this is to add some introduction! No one has time for guessing games – do I know this blogger? Have I seen her/him online? What's hers/his name?! Make it easy for your audience to learn more about you.
Bring attention to your blog
The best way to prove your expertise is with your blog. But how can you do that unless your visitors have clear indicators on where to find it? That's right. Not everyone who's on your website came there from your existing posts. Make sure to bring attention to your blog!
Use full-width HD photos
Having an amazing website design is a good indicator of the content within it. If your website has low quality, outdated design – no one will be interested in sticking around. Using full-width HD photos are a great element for creative website design!
Don't hesitate to go bright!
Well, don't get me wrong here. Not everyone is meant to have a bright orange website! Make sure to align it with your brand and the essence of your business. BUT! Don't hesitate to bring bright colors in your website design if that's what you want to do!
What is the best platform to use for your creative business website?!
Oh, the good old question on which website creation platform to use…
In short, here's what I'm thinking about this as a website creator myself:
- WordPress is the perfect fit for almost any kind of business. Compared with a powerful hosting like Siteground it can go a long way and make any of your e-dreams happen. It's a perfectly working platform that's used for most of the well-known sites, as well as smaller creative websites. Use this simple 5 step guide to your first WordPress site.
- Squarespace is my favorite from not self-hosted options. It's elegant, it has many different options and overall this platform is very easy to use. However, it shouldn't be your choice for any long-term project. Especially, if you want to create a blog!
- Wix, Weebly or similar is on the bottom of any of my website creation lists… Although they are extremely easy to use, they also come with several roadblocks that'll stop you from creating a truly powerful website.
No matter what is your choice, keep in mind that most website owners eventually move away from platforms like Squarespace, Wix and Weebly to start their sites on WordPress. Save your time and start out right!

Police officers are embodiment of the law. They are protecting us from all the illegal activities that rule the streets. However, that does not make them almighty. In fact, they have to know and obey the law more than the others. Because showing force is easy. Anyhow, the video we have prepared for today features an activist from the state of Washington, Gavin Seim. A police officer pulled over by him because the police vehicle is unmarked. In the beginning, the activist asks the police officer if it is an undercover vehicle and when he gets a negative response he tries to explain the policeman that only an undercover vehicle can be unmarked.
Next, the policeman seems like he regrets that he stopped, and hesitates to show his ID and driving license, but as the video continues you are going to see that he shows understanding. Then, the activist gives an example of how a random person can be dressed as a policeman and stop people (he mentioned his daughter) and that situation could go horribly wrong. In our opinion, what the activist is trying to achieve is to explain to those who are supposed to enforce the law that they can make mistakes as well. All in all, everybody must obey the law.
At last, click here to watch the police officer pulled over a speeding car and helped deliver baby!

[News] Kim Hyun Joong drives a truck on City Conquest: "Where is the pretty boy?"
Kim Hyun Joong recently appealed to many women with a picture of himself driving a truck.
Kim drove a truck for one of the scenes in his new drama series City Conquest filmed in Japan. It's hard to imagine him driving a mini-truck on the streets of Japan because he has always played such roles as a pretty boy and a rich boy.
In some snapshots of the scene recently released, Kim is driving a truck, on which liquor bottles are loaded, in shabby clothes and with a long face.
Kim's image in this scene is quite different from the manly one in the spectacular scene of him skillfully driving a motorcycle.
People responded: "I've never seen Kim Hyun Joong like this." "He's still handsome though." "Why don't you give me a ride?"
City Conquest is produced by the production team of the drama series Iris, and it stars Kim, Jung Yumi, Nam Goong Min, Kim Seung Woo, and Kim Young Ho.

Nestled in the Sierra Foothills close to Auburn is Lake of the Pines, a small gated community offering an active lifestyle in a gorgeous environment. With the lovely lake, a 19-hole golf course, tennis courts, 8 parks, a clubhouse, sports lounge and more, Lake of the Pines is highly sought after by house hunters. Lake of the Pines is located just below snow level but sits above the valley fog line. This lends itself to the natural beauty of the area, where blue skies are a regular occurrence. Four lakes and ponds offer endless amounts of outdoor fun, from pontoon boating to fishing and bird watching. Nearly 15 percent of home sites have direct waterfront access.
Home owners are treated to regular sightings of wildlife and ongoing community events like music on the lake, brunches, etc. Life in Lake of the Pines is filled with beautiful views and daily luxuries.

Not too long ago, I received an email from a parent asking for advice for how to respond to their 14-year-old daughter who had recently started disliking her teachers, had run into friend problems, and was becoming disrespectful toward her parents. This email vividly reminded me of how difficult the teen years can be.
For everyone.
I recently saw a mother in my office who was describing her 13-year-old son, who had up until recently, been a very respectful young boy. "I don't know what happened," she said, "I want my Bobby back!" (not his real name).
Ever been there?
Maybe you are there right now.
In this blog, I want to give you a couple ideas for how to approach these difficult teen moments and then hear your ideas for how to (or how not to) approach disrespectful teen behavior.
Here are a few principles to hold on to:
1) Stay calm. I have never seen a situation where a parent's anger or yelling made things better. Never.
2) Listen first. In my book, Project Dad, I suggest that your kids are like a dump truck. This doesn't mean they are filled with dirt and gravel, it simply means that like a truck, they can get "filled up." And when a truck is filled up, what does it need to do? Unload. Listening is letting your kids unload their truck. Application: Learn to be a great unloading spot. Show that you care about everything in their truck: Their thoughts, feelings, struggles, and opinions. Once their truck is empty, they'll be more receptive to what you have to say.
3) Get into problem-solving mode. Once your teen knows that you have taken the time to listen and care about her perspective, she'll be more open to the next step, which is to think together about possible solutions. This doesn't mean trying to solve her problem single-handedly, but talking together about possible ideas. If you are new at this, it can be helpful to write ideas down as you both think of them (even if they are bad) and then go back and evaluate each one. You are helping your teen learn how to approach teen issues in a thoughtful way.
4) Model and expect respectfulness. Everyone can blow it in an angry moment. Don't expect perfection out of anyone (including yourself), but repeated disrespectfulness is not going to help anything. Make sure that you are communicating respectfully and let your teen know that she can express how she feels, but she must also do it in a respectful way. If she chooses to be routinely disrespectful with her words or actions, an appropriate loss of privilege is in order.
5) See the bigger picture. You have a teenager. You knew it was coming. Use these opportunities to show your kids that there is no problem that you can't solve together. Be caring, respectful, and optimistic. If you mess up, apologize. If you feel unprepared, talk to other parents whose kids are older than yours. Read a few good books about raising teens. You can do this.
Do you have any "nuggets" of wisdom for handling challenging teen behavior?
Any suggestions for what NOT to do?
