Top 10 Businesses Killed By The Internet

Internet

And We Are Helping The Continued Destruction Of What Remains.  Why? Simple, we can do more faster and cheaper and when required, with much more depth.  Newspapers can't include the depth, the TV news can not include the depth, books are not capable of delivering multimedia.  Only on the Internet can you include audio, video and entire articles plus include full length books in a small area of a page.  Stories can be delivered instantly.  The Internet goes head to head with live TV and goes far beyond radio.

  We deliver articles, entire books, audio, video and radio right here and we also have coupons and software that we give away on other pages linked from this main site.  No other medium can deliver this.

  More businesses are now started on the Internet and less in the Brick and Mortar fashion.  Brick and Mortar will never die, but certain businesses have gone under with more to go under because of technology.  It makes life rather interesting.

Today – one year after the President laid out his comprehensive Climate Action Plan – the White House released a new report detailing progress towards cutting carbon pollution and protecting our communities and public health.
In the year since the President’s speech at Georgetown University, the Administration has announced new efficiency standards, permitted renewable energy projects on public lands, and proposed carbon pollution standards for new and existing power plants. Alongside state, tribal, local, and private sector partners, the Administration is taking steps to make our communities more resilient to the effects of severe weather and is working with other countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases internationally. In fact, when fully implemented, the policies put forward just in the past year since the President’s Plan was released will:
  • Cut nearly 3 billion tons of carbon pollution between 2020 and 2025, an amount equivalent to taking more than 600 million cars off the road for a year;
  • Enable the development of 8,100 megawatts of wind, solar, and geothermal energy, enough to power nearly 2 million homes;
  • Train more than 50,000 workers to enter the solar industry;
  • Save consumers more than $60 billion on their energy bills through 2030;
  • Improve the energy efficiency of more than 1 billion square feet of city buildings, schools, multifamily housing complexes, and business across the country, an area the size of 17,000 football fields; and
  • Protect the health of vulnerable Americans, including children and the elderly, by preventing 150,000 asthma attacks and up to 3,300 heart attacks.

Bitcoin 101 - Multi-Signature Addresses pt1 - Coding This Major Security Improvement

Just like the Wright brothers, on those first flights at Kitty Hawk, didn't concern themselves that much with landing. And improvements like anti-lock brakes and seat belts help protect passengers in cars. Bitcoin is now in that 'second phase' where security is becoming massively important. Fortunately, because the currency is programmable, anything is really possible. Originally introduced into the bitcoin client a few years ago, multisignature addresses massively more secure than regular ones. Their adoption by all wallet manufacturers is coming. But, for you techies and voyeurs, we'll jump inside the ideas of multi-sig and even program the stuff. Hope you enjoy.

~ Dan River Plants Will Become First Commercial Spin-off from Danville’s Institute for Advanced Learning and Research ~
Governor’s AFID Fund Supports Company’s Utilization of Plant Technology Developed Jointly Between IALR, Virginia Tech

RICHMOND - Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that Dan River Plants, LLC (DRP), which uses tissue culture technology to replicate high-value horticulture and grass plants for conversion into bio-energy, will become the first official commercial venture by the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR).  DRP will invest more than $1.3 million and create at least 27 new jobs in Pittsylvania County’s Ringgold East Industrial Park, as part of its move and expansion from the Charles Hawkins Research Center at the IALR.

            Speaking about today’s announcement, Governor McDonnell said, “Dan River Plants’ project highlights the high-level of cooperation in the Commonwealth between our research universities, the private sector, and our local and regional economic development allies. It also underscores the economic transformation taking place in Southern Virginia as the region leverages its agricultural and manufacturing heritage to create employment opportunities using modern technology.  This administration has focused on fostering economic opportunities in every corner of the Commonwealth, particularly in our rural regions. Fully incorporating agriculture and forestry into our overall economic development and jobs creation agenda, appointing the first-ever Deputy Secretary for Rural Economic Development, and creating and funding the first of its kind Governor’s Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund (AFID) are key components in our efforts to partner with the private sector to create more jobs and opportunities for our citizens.”

            The micropropagation technology employed by DRP stems from the collaboration between the Institute for Sustainable and Renewable Resources at IALR and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Virginia Tech.  The technology allows for the production of a large number of identical plants from a single plant, by removing small portions of the plant material and using special growing media and techniques to grow each portion into an identical plant.  This technology is very useful for the mass production of high-value, specialized plant varieties that do not reproduce identically or quickly under other production systems. 

            “While I am thrilled about the new jobs and investment this project brings to the region, as well as the important milestone IALR has reached, I am especially pleased to see the deployment of an important new asset for Virginia’s horticulture and nursery industry, the fifth largest agricultural sector in the Commonwealth,” said Todd Haymore, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry.  “I applaud the entrepreneurial spirit of Dan River Plants’ leadership and the important work they’ve done with IALR and Virginia Tech to further boost Virginia’s diverse agricultural economy.”

            Operations at Dan River Plant Propagation Center, now DRP (www.danriverplants.com), have been underway at IALR for over two years, thanks in part to start-up support provided by the Danville Regional Foundation. With current expansion plans in place, the project is expected to move quickly, with a ground breaking ceremony planned for August and hiring to begin by spring 2014.

            “The expansion of Dan River Plants proves that the technology developed at the Institute translates into economic impact for Southern Virginia. Danville will be recognized as a leader in modern, innovative ag-based business,” said Jerry Gwaltney, IALR’s Acting Executive Director.

            “We are pleased that a site in Ringgold East Industrial Park, developed with assistance from the Tobacco Commission, could be part of the incentive package that helped make this project a reality.  We welcome the new jobs and investment in our community and look forward to their long term success.” said Marshall Ecker, Chairman of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors.  “This project shows how well the County and its partners can work together to further the interests of the region.”

            “It’s great that the Institute has spun off DRP, just as they had envisioned. I wish them lots of success. This is good for the region,” said Jeremy Stratton, Director of Economic Development for the City of Danville.

            The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services worked with Pittsylvania County and IALR to help make the project a reality. Governor McDonnell approved a $150,000 matching grant from the Governor's AFID Fund to assist Pittsylvania with the project. The project is receiving additional assistance through the State's Enterprise Zone Program and through its Virginia Jobs Investment Program; the Virginia Department of Business Assistance will provide funding and services to support the company's recruitment, training and retraining activities.

            According to a 2013 economic impact study, agriculture and forestry are two of Virginia's largest industries, with a combined economic impact of $70 billion annually.  Agriculture generates more than $52 billion per annum, while forestry induces over $17 billion. The industries also provide more than 400,000 jobs in the Commonwealth.

About the Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund
The creation of the AFID was part of Governor McDonnell’s jobs-creation and economic development agenda during the 2012 session of the General Assembly.  Funded at $1 million in each year of the biennium, the AFID is broken into two categories with $750,000 going to large grants to assist local efforts in expanding current or attracting new agriculture and forestry processing facilities using Virginia-grown products (http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/agribusiness/afid.shtml) and $250,000 dedicated to small grants to assist localities in improving local economic development efforts relating to agribusiness (http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/agribusiness/planning.shtml).

Suppressed Information You Were Never Taught


The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla" target="_blank">The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla from Chuck Thompson


If you watched the video on Nikola Tesla yesterday and downloaded a free copy of the Tesla book we posted, you already understand that Tesla's inventions and work were suppressed for financial reasons.  No one makes money by giving away critical technologies.  Tesla thought his inventions belonged to the world.  Others who financed him though otherwise.

  As we said yesterday, we would be giving away another one of Tesla's books today.  Here it is above.  430 pages total and includes pictures and diagrams.  Tesla's work is rarely covered in schools.  When it is, it is only partially covered.  His inventions and work are not explored in detail.  It's not because they lack merit.



It took individuals with vision to look at Tesla's work and realize that there is a lot more to his work and that the information is in fact suppressed.  Look what they have managed to accomplish despite the obstacles against them.  Tesla motors will be the wave of the future if they are not shut down.

  So take a look at the e-book above.  It's available for free downloads.  No cost, no signing up, no gimmicks no kidding.  Free really means free here.
