New Water Purifier Developed in Louisville Will Save Lives Around the World

March 5, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

LOUISVILLE, KY. (March 1, 2012) - Today, on the first day of World Water Month, EDGE Outreach is pleased to announce a significant development in the technology and equipment used to combat the world's unsafe water epidemic. Local engineers volunteered to work with EDGE to develop a new product that is smaller and more efficient than any other water purification system currently available. EDGE Outreach's M-100 Chlorine Generator Kit uses ordinary salt (sodium chloride) and a 12-volt car battery to simply and safely produce chlorine gas.

The M-100 Chlorine Generator can produce up to 38,000 liters of safe water each day, which is enough to provide 10,000 people with … [Continue reading...]

Marital Agreements for Those Over 50

January 28, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

By most accounts, approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce. Hammering out the financial issues in advance can prevent much costly legal wrangling later. If you feel it is unromantic to establish end-game parameters ahead of time, guess what- they already exist in the form of divorce law. If you are the prospective spouse with more property, the divorce law in your state may cause you to give up more than you feel is fair. This is of particular concern to high net worth individuals in brief but unsuccessful marriages ie. Paul McCartney and Katy Perry. Even if you are willing to throw caution to the wind for the sake of love, other people such as business partners or adult children may be negatively impacted by the decision. This is especially true in a second marriage situation. … [Continue reading...]

1/24/12 The Jungle Schooner

January 26, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

I didn't feel so good about being in a river isolated from the modern world with a stuck rudder. Georgetown might have the facilities but that meant running the gauntlet back over the mud flats, sandbars, and fishing stakes to a place that is definitely not safe for small sailboats. At night I cranked on the rudder ropes side to side. Before breakfast I tried again. The situation looked bleak. The current on the river at Parika ran strong and rough waves made getting in and out of the dinghy dangerous. When we returned from a shore excursion we had to drag the dinghy through knee deep mud to launch for the schooner. I dove under the schooner with gloves on and felt every inch of the barnacle clad rudder where it exits the stern ten feet down to where it stood in the heavy duty shoe … [Continue reading...]
