CORRECTED: U.S., Canada agree to organic food trade standard | U.S. | Reuters
CORRECTED: U.S., Canada agree to organic food trade standard U.S. Reuters:
"(Corrects last line to show organic market was worth $3.6 billion in 1997, not 2007)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States and Canada have agreed to accept each other's standards for organic food, expanding opportunities for organic food trade, a U.S. Agriculture Department official said on Wednesday.
'Today's agreement between the world's two largest organic trading partners is an important first step toward global harmonization of organic standards,' Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan said in a statement.
The deal will mean organic farmers and food processors certified by either the USDA's National Organic Program or the Canada Organic Product Regulation can market their food with organic labels in both countries without having to go through a second certification process, Merrigan said.
The Canadian regulation takes effect on June 30.
Canadians buy an estimated $2.1 billion to $2.6 billion worth of organic food, about 80 percent of which is imported. About 75 percent of those imports come from the United States, the USDA said.
The U.S. organic market was worth $24.6 billion in 2008, the USDA said, up from $3.6 billion in 1997.

Tesla coil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tesla coil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by ethnic-Serb[1] American scientist Nikola Tesla around 1891.[2] It is usually used to generate very high voltage, low current, high frequency alternating current electricity. A Tesla coil consists of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits, but is difficult to define precisely, as Tesla experimented with a large variety of coils and configurations. Tesla used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting, fluorescence, x-rays, high frequency alternating current phenomena, electrotherapy, and wireless power for electric power transmission.
Early Tesla coil designs usually employed a high voltage power source, one or more high voltage capacitor(s), and a spark gap to excite the primary side of the Tesla coil system with periodic bursts of high frequency current. Later and higher-power coil designs had the primary and secondary circuits tuned so they resonated at the same (high) frequency (typically, between 25 kHz and 2 MHz). These larger Tesla coil designs are used to create long electrical discharges.
Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in sparkgap radio transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s[2], and in electrotherapy and medical devices such as violet ray. Today their main use is entertainment and educational displays. Tesla coils are built by many high-voltage enthusiasts, research institutions, science museums and independent experimenters. Modified Tesla coils are widely used as igniters for high power gas discharge lamps, common examples being the mercury vapor and sodium types used for street lighting. Although electronic igniters are available, Tesla's original spark gap design is much cheaper and has proven extremely reliable."

Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"The Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing was a company formed by Nikola Tesla in 1886. Located in Rahway, New Jersey, the company was formed after Tesla left Thomas Edison's employment, after a contractual disagreement. Tesla planned to sell and license his patent and innovations. Tesla invented an arc lamp of high efficiency; the carbon electrodes were controlled by electromagnets or solenoids and a clutch mechanism and had an automatic fail switch. The company earned money, but most of the capital gained went to the investors. Ultimately, financial investors disagreed with Tesla on his plan for an alternating current motor and eventually relieved him of his duties at the company.
[edit] Patents
Tesla had already been issued the following patents:
* U.S. Patent 334,823 - Commutator for Dynamo Electric Machines - 1886 January 26 - Elements to prevent sparking on dynamo-electric machines; Drum-style with brushes.
* U.S. Patent 350,954 - Regulator for Dynamo Electric Machines - 1886 October 19 - Automatic regulation of energy levels; Mechanical device to shift brushes.
In 1886, the following patents were issued to Tesla after he began his company:
* U.S. Patent 335,786 - Electric arc lamp - 1886 February 9 - Arc lamp with carbon electrodes controlled by electromagnets or solenoids and a clutch mechanism; Corrects earlier design flaws common to the industry.
* U.S. Patent 335,787 - Electric arc lamp - 1886 February 9 - Arc lamp's automatic fail switch when arc possesses abnormal behavior; Automatic reactivation.
* U.S. Patent 336,961 - Regulator for dynamo electric machines - 1886 March 2 - Two main brushes connected to helices coil ends; Intermediate point branch shunt connection for third brush.
* U.S. Patent 336,962 - Regulator for Dynamo Electric Machines - 1886 March 2 - Auxiliary brush[es] shunting a portion or whole of the field helices coil; Regulates energy flow; Adjustable level of current."

Nikola Tesla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla was an ethnic Serb born in the village of Smiljan, Vojna Krajina, in the territory of today's Croatia. He was a subject of the Austrian Empire by birth and later became an American citizen.[2] Tesla is often described as an important scientist and inventor of the modern age, a man who 'shed light over the face of Earth'.[3] He is best known for many revolutionary contributions in the field of electricity and magnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current electric power (AC) systems, including the polyphase power distribution systems and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.
After his demonstration of wireless communication (radio) in 1894 and after being the victor in the 'War of Currents', he was widely respected as one of the greatest electrical engineers who worked in America.[4] Much of his early work pioneered modern electrical engineering and many of his discoveries were of groundbreaking importance. During this period, in the United States, Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture,[5] but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist.[6][7] Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86.
The SI unit measuring magnetic flux density or magnetic induction (commonly known as the magnetic field 'B'), the tesla, was named in his honor (at the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures, Paris, 1960), as well as the Tesla effect of wireless energy transfer to wirelessly power electronic devices which Tesla demonstrated on a low scale (lightbulbs) as early as 1893 and aspired to use for the intercontinental transmission of industrial energy levels in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project.
Aside from his work on electromagnetism and electromechanical engineering, Tesla contributed in varying degrees to the establishment of robotics, remote control, radar and computer science, and to the expansion of ballistics, nuclear physics,[8] and theoretical physics. In 1943, the Supreme Court of the United States credited him as being the inventor of the radio.[9] Many of his achievements have been used, with some controversy, to support various pseudosciences, UFO theories, and early New Age occultism.
Tesla was awarded the highest order of the White Lion by Czechoslovakia."

How A Revolutionary Third World Bank Lifted Millions Out Of Poverty But Hit The Buffers In Scotland (from Sunday Herald)
How A Revolutionary Third World Bank Lifted Millions Out Of Poverty But Hit The Buffers In Scotland (from Sunday Herald):
By Edd McCracken
IT IS a concept that turns the western idea of banking on its head. With no shareholders, no collateral, no profit margin, relying purely on trust, and lending only to the poor and disadvantaged, the Grameen banking system has already been a huge success in alleviating poverty around the globe. But this revolutionary idea from Bangladesh could be prevented from doing likewise in Glasgow because of a legal loophole.
Professor Muhammad Yunus - who in 2006 won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work - pioneered the concept of micro-credit, lending small sums of money to start businesses, when he founded the Grameen Bank in 1976 with a $27 loan. It is now at work in 38 countries, mainly in the developing world. This Third World idea might be stopped by a uniquely First World problem, however: Glasgow's welfare culture.
Under current legislation, if someone takes out a business loan, they forfeit their benefits. Locals from Sighthill, where the first Grameen Bank branch hopes to open, have already said this would discourage many of them from starting their own business.
advertisement
Grameen Glasgow is petitioning the Department of Work and Pensions for flexibility to allow people to remain on benefits while they try to establish their business.
'It can still work without this, but with reduced numbers likely to come forward,' said Pamela Gillies, principal of Glasgow Caledonian University and one of the driving forces behind the project."

BusinessWorld Online: Commentary -- By Joseph E. Stiglitz: "The UN takes charge"
BusinessWorld Online: Commentary -- By Joseph E. Stiglitz: "The UN takes charge": "NEW YORK — While discussions about economic 'green shoots' continue unabated in the United States, in many countries, and especially in the developing world, matters are getting worse. The downturn in the US began with a failure in the financial system, which quickly was translated into a slowdown in the real economy.
But, in the developing world, it is just the opposite: a decline in exports, reduced remittances, lower foreign direct investment, and precipitous falls in capital flows have led to economic weakening. As a result, even countries with good regulatory systems are now confronting problems in their financial sectors."

One Laptop per Child (OLPC): Laptop Software
One Laptop per Child (OLPC): Laptop Software:
"The XO Laptop will bring children technology as a means to freedom and empowerment. The success of the project in the face of overwhelming global diversity will only be possible by embracing openness and by providing the laptop's users and developers a profound level of freedom.
As the children grow and pursue new ideas, the software and the tools need to be able to grow with them and provide a gateway to other technology.
Benefits
Learning is our main goal. We do not focus on computer literacy, as that is a by-product of the fluency children will gain through use of the laptop for learning. Children—especially young children—need the opportunity to learn far more than Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Of course, picking up these skills, having grown up with a laptop, will be readily accomplished.
Epistemologists from John Dewey to Paulo Freire to Seymour Papert agree that you learn through doing. This suggests that if you want more learning, you want more doing. Thus OLPC puts an emphasis on software tools for exploring and expressing, rather than instruction. Love is a better master than duty. Using the laptop as the agency for engaging children in constructing knowledge based upon their personal interests and providing them tools for sharing and critiquing these constructions will lead them to become learners and teachers.
As a matter of practicality and given the necessity to enhance performance and reliability while containing costs, XO is not burdened by the bloat of excess code, the “featureitis” that is responsible for much of the clumsiness, unreliability, and expense of many modern laptops."

From this page you can download LPF program files. They are not sufficient to run Loan Performer. You need to have installed Loan Performer first (see the Download page).
As the LPF.EXE is too big, we have split this file into separate downloads of about 3 MB.
You need to download all files to a local folder. Then double click the Disk1.exe file from Explorer. This will recreate the LPF.EXE file on your machine.
You then need to replace the LPF.EXE in the Loan Performer program folder with the new LPF.EXE.
For version 7.10 you also need to download LPFDLL.DLL and replace your existing file in the Loan Performer program folder with the downloaded file.
If you are on a network, you need to do this on every workstation (replace the LPF.EXE and replace the LPFDLL.DLL).
For Version 7.10.12
Download a new LPF.EXE for 7.10.12. See the Bugs page for the changes in this executable. Please note that this executable includes the fixes in LPF 7.10.11. You can only use this executable file for installations of version 7.10.

We have created a template for importation of savings deposits together with loan repayments. The attached file contains an example of an Excel file that contains both as well as an executable file to make this happen. You need to copy the executable file into the Loan Performer program folder, then run it. You may close Loan Performer before doing this.Download the zip file here.
If after upgrading from a previous version to 7.10, you think that some loans are missing from certain reports, this could be due to some inconsistent values in the client's tables. We have created a patch to fix this. You can download this file, install it in the LPF710 program folder and execute it. Loan Performer should be closed before you do this. You can use it for Foxpro as well as SQL Server databases.
There was an error in the first release of Patch710. If after upgrading you do not see your cheques anymore at System/Cheque Clearing, you need to run a patch to correct your cheques data (click here). You need to run this file from the LPF710 program folder. When you run the program it will ask you to specify your previous database from which you upgraded (not necessarily a 7.09 database) and the current - 7.10 - database, then proceed. We have made a change to the Patch710.exe on 5/12/2007. If you have downloaded the patch file after this date, you will not be bothered by this error.
For Version 7.09.11
Download a new LPF.EXE for 7.09.11. See the Bugs page for the changes in this executable. Please note that this executable includes the fixes in LPF 7.08.24. You can only use this executable file for installations of version 7.09.

In version 7.09 the importation of savings transactions for group members (tracking at member level activated) stored the transaction date in the member table while the date-time was stored in the group table. This caused problems for modification of imported savings transactions. In order to correct this, you can run a patch. Note there is one for a Foxpro database (which has to be run from the database folder) and another one for an SQL Server / Express database (which should be run from the LPF7.09 program folder, Bug ID 2934, Wasasa, Ethiopia).
Download a patch file to replace label numbers (on the screen) in 7.09 by the correct words. In case of a Foxpro database, you need to run this patch from the LPF program folder (it takes the database as defined in the LPF.INI file). In case of an SQL Server database, it takes the last used database.
Download corrected MS Word file with available loan contract variables for version 7.09.

If after upgrading from a previous version to 7.10, you think that some loans are missing from certain reports, this could be due to some inconsistent values in the client's tables. We have created a patch to fix this. You can download this file, install it in the LPF710 program folder and execute it. Loan Performer should be closed before you do this. You can use it for Foxpro as well as SQL Server databases.
There was an error in the first release of Patch710. If after upgrading you do not see your cheques anymore at System/Cheque Clearing, you need to run a patch to correct your cheques data (click here). You need to run this file from the LPF710 program folder. When you run the program it will ask you to specify your previous database from which you upgraded (not necessarily a 7.09 database) and the current - 7.10 - database, then proceed. We have made a change to the Patch710.exe on 5/12/2007. If you have downloaded the patch file after this date, you will not be bothered by this error.
For Version 7.09.11
Download a new LPF.EXE for 7.09.11. See the Bugs page for the changes in this executable. Please note that this executable includes the fixes in LPF 7.08.24. You can only use this executable file for installations of version 7.09.

In version 7.09 the importation of savings transactions for group members (tracking at member level activated) stored the transaction date in the member table while the date-time was stored in the group table. This caused problems for modification of imported savings transactions. In order to correct this, you can run a patch. Note there is one for a Foxpro database (which has to be run from the database folder) and another one for an SQL Server / Express database (which should be run from the LPF7.09 program folder, Bug ID 2934, Wasasa, Ethiopia).
Download a patch file to replace label numbers (on the screen) in 7.09 by the correct words. In case of a Foxpro database, you need to run this patch from the LPF program folder (it takes the database as defined in the LPF.INI file). In case of an SQL Server database, it takes the last used database.
Download corrected MS Word file with available loan contract variables for version 7.09.
For Version 7.08.25
Download a new LPF.EXE for 7.08.25. See the Bugs page for the changes in this executable. Please note that this executable includes the fixes in LPF 7.07.16. You can only use this executable file for installations of version 7.08.

An Experiment in Numeric Interfaces
HISAAB is group-level micro-finance management software, intended to document transactions at the lowest level of MFI operations. In this project we will explore the interface design space for illiterate and uneducated users, the typical users at the group-level of MFI operations. We will explore a variety of interface design paradigms to test accessibility to such a user domain. One novel design paradigm is the idea of numeric interfaces, leveraging users' ability to remember, manipulate and enter numbers. We expect the results obtained here to be applicable in other application areas - such as e-government, information dissemination, rural micro-enterprise, etc. Further, documenting and analyzing the performance of micro-finance instruments is becoming an increasingly important and strenuous task, especially given Indian accounting regulations, the volume of transactions at the lowest level of MFI operations, and the increasing accountability requirements of funding agencies and investors. We hope to demonstrate the benefits of electronically documenting group-level transactions within this process.

FAO of the UN : Rural Finance : MicroBanking System: "FAO/GTZ MicroBanking System
Recognizing the need to make modern technology available to a wide range of small- and medium-sized financial institutions as a means to improve their outreach, capacity and efficiency in serving a growing number of clients in, in particular, rural areas of developing countries, thereby providing essential support to increased agricultural production and food security, the Rural Finance Group of FAO started in 1988 the development of a low cost DOS-based software, known as the FAO MicroBanking System, designed to automate banking operations using basic PC equipment. In addition to the more obvious benefits in terms of lowering costs and improving accuracy of records, FAO also, and perhaps primarily, considered the software a human resources development programme since it was constructed taking into consideration good, standardised banking practices that conformed with existing rules and regulations of governments and supervisory bodies.
FAO and the German Agency for Technical Cooperation, GTZ, formed in the late nineties a partnership to develop a Windows-based version of the software. This new version, MBWin, short for the FAO/GTZ MicroBanking System for Windows (MBWin), is designed for a wide range of banks and financial institutions. As did the earlier DOS-based version, MBWin enables the user to keep and maintain accurate and reliable records of accounts, transactions and clients, reduce transaction costs of servicing small clients and suggest better banking practices, thus improving the outreach and efficiency of banking operations in rural areas. MBWin still operates on basic PC equipment. Because of its multi-tier architecture, MBWin is highly scaleable and can, therefore, cater to a wide range of users and be adapted to a variety of hardware configurations. It is modular in terms of applications and functionality. MBWin has modules for current accounts, savings accounts, time deposits, share accounts and loan accounts that interface with the general ledger (GL) module and the contact information module (CIF).
MBWin is a complete package. It includes a number of utilities to help with the migration of data and the translation of the system into new languages. The TKON utility helps with the conversion from manual operations. The built-in reports meet the basic internal and external reporting requirements of most financial organizations. However, the built-in report generator allows users to custom-build reports to meet user-specific requirements.
The software has a strong potential as a teaching tool for newcomers in the field of rural and micro finance, as it ensures that the design and development of financial products and services is done in the best way. Offering a standardised bank automation instrument also reduces the installation cost for users since it does not need to be individually customised for every new user. Economies of scale are also achieved in the field of training and technical support development.
MBWin is sold at a low price. The philosophy behind is that in addition to providing access to appropriate, modern technology at an affordable cost, resources can be left free for training purposes and for developing in-house technical support.

Free & Open Source Software for Microfinance: Increasing Efficiency and Extending Benefits to the Poor
Free & Open Source Software for Microfinance: Increasing Efficiency and Extending Benefits to the Poor:
"Abstract: In this paper we investigate the potential of open source software to increase the impact of microfinance (MF) especially for the very poor and suggest a framework for econometric evaluation of such intervention. We argue that especially small and medium organizations play a crucial role, because they are more flexible in operations and familiar with the local context. We consider how new information and communication technology (ICT) can increase outreach of MF to the very poor within a self-sustainable holistic approach. We consider the potential of free/open source software projects to address the computing needs of small and remote MFIs, and we describe the reasons why no suitable solutions have emerged yet. While the use of FOSS and ICTs in general can help increase outreach, we feel the need to draw attention to the challenges that come with it; one should not forget that access to basic financial services is not all that is needed -- especially by the very poor.

Wealth of Nations : Microfinance: The Next Bubble?: "Mac Margolis
Our Rio de Janeiro correspondent, Mac Margolis, delves into a new microfinance study, and wonders whether the much-lauded sector is about as efficacious as a subprime CDO and as bubbly as a Pets.com equity option. --BWS
The international financial crisis has destroyed many certainties, but one of the touted survivors is the old saw that small is beautiful. Sure, no one is flogging mansions to paupers anymore. But microfinance is still flourishing, and even expanding. Ever since Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus started handing out small loans to the poor in 1974, the idea that a little credit can help peasants and simple villagers climb out of poverty has swept the map. Civic groups, the World Bank, even commercial lenders have gotten into the act, capturing millions of barefoot clients across the developing world. Today microfinance is a global growth industry. It reaped Yunus the Nobel prize. Even the developed world is catching on. Grameen Bank, the Bangladesh-based microlender Yunus founded, opened a branch in Queens, New York, last year and plans to unveil another in Omaha, Nebraska. Take that, Citicorp.
But hold that confetti. Two U.S. economists--David Roodman, of the Center for Global Development, and Jonathan Morduch, of New York University--recently reran the numbers on microfinance’s heralded miracles and came away with a much murkier picture. After reviewing seminal studies on microcredit in Bangladesh, they concluded in a working paper that while microcredit is not hurting people, there is also no hard evidence that it is helping them much."

About Reef Check - Saving Reefs Worldwide:
"Founded in 1996 by marine ecologist Dr. Gregor Hodgson, the Reef Check Foundation is an international non-profit organization dedicated to conservation of two ecosystems: tropical coral reefs and California rocky reefs. With headquarters in Los Angeles and volunteer teams in more than 80 countries, Reef Check works to create partnerships among community volunteers, government agencies, businesses, universities and other non-profits. Reef Check goals are to: educate the public about the value of reef ecosystems and the current crisis affecting marine life; to create a global network of volunteer teams trained in Reef Check's scientific methods who regularly monitor and report on reef health; to facilitate collaboration that produces ecologically sound and economically sustainable solutions; and to stimulate local community action to protect remaining pristine reefs and rehabilitate damaged reefs worldwide.
In 1997, Reef Check conducted the first-ever global survey of coral reef health that provided scientific confirmation that our coral reefs were in crisis due to over-fishing, illegal fishing, and pollution. The results, published in a scientific journal in 1999, shocked many marine biologists who had not realized the extent of human impacts on reefs. In August 2002, Reef Check released its first five-year report, The Global Coral Reef Crisis – Trends and Solutions, at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa. Based on data collected by thousands of Reef Check volunteer divers in over 80 countries and territories, the report was the first scientific documentation of the dramatic worldwide decline in coral reef health over a five year period. The report concluded that there was virtually no reef in the world that remained untouched by human impacts, such as over fishing"
