The mission of Spokane County ARES/RACES is to support and enhance the telecommunications needs of its served agencies with the versatile talents and flexible resources of trained and competent amateur radio operators, thereby serving the public interest in times of emergency or special need and fulfilling the basis and purpose ideals of the amateur radio service.
This plan provides
guidance to Spokane County ARES/RACES in its support to local and state government
during certain emergency conditions. It also provides guidance to all
parties as to the maintenance of an ARES/RACES program in
The purpose of this plan is to address Spokane
County ARES/RACES as an officially sanctioned volunteer emergency
communications resource in
This plan stands as Attachment 3 to Emergency Support Function #2 (Communications and Warning) of the Spokane City/County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and enables agencies and organizations having responsibilities outlined under other Emergency Support Functions of the same Spokane City/County plan to include Spokane County ARES/RACES in their emergency plans and programs.
The Amateur Service is a radio communication
service (often referred to as "ham radio") for the purpose of self training,
intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that
is, duly authorized (federally licensed) persons interested in radio technique
solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) are emergency communications services that consist of licensed operators in the Amateur Service who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment for communications duty in the public service. Though ARES and RACES are technically separate organizations, the Spokane City/County Department of Emergency Management recognizes the privately administered ARES in tandem with the publicly administered RACES as an effective and versatile unification of the county's amateur radio emergency communications resources. RACES registration of its total membership officially links the group to its primary client, local and state government, while ARES serves, day to day, as the organizational and operational foundation of the
As one organization,
Part 97, Subpart E, Federal Communications Commission Rules and Regulations;
RACES Plan, State of Washington Department of Emergency Management;
Spokane City/County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Emergency Support Function #2: Communications and Warning;
Memorandum of Understanding between the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Radio Relay League, Inc.,
Basic to the ability of any member of Spokane County ARES/RACES to serve the public is a clear understanding of the relationship between amateur radio and the concept of public service. The Basis and Purpose statement of Part 97 of the FCC Rules and Regulations provides for the Amateur Service by recognizing and encouraging the enhancement "... of the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications." Therefore, all amateur radio licensees should feel an obligation to consider public service a necessary and continuing part of their activities. Such service is provided strictly on a volunteer basis, as FCC rules prohibit amateur radio operators from either receiving compensation for providing communications or from providing communications specifically intended to further the conduct of commerce. Active involvement in ARES/RACES is the primary key to be used by the individual Amateur Service licensee in fulfilling this public service obligation.
During the early phases of any area-wide emergency,
either within or outside of
Public safety communications systems are designed to handle routine emergency situations. It is not feasible for public service agencies to maintain resources that can meet each and every demand of each and every major disaster or wide-spread communications emergency. The volunteer communications systems of Spokane County ARES/RACES can be used to complement public safety communications resources, augmenting existing systems, substituting for damaged or inoperable systems, and establishing communications links with otherwise inaccessible areas. The magnitude of a particular emergency situation will determine the degree to which ARES/RACES communications systems and operators are utilized.
Under the supervision of the Deputy Director, in accordance with the rules governing RACES, Spokane County Emergency Management provides for involvement of licensees of the Amateur Service in officially sanctioned emergency service work. By tradition and agreement, Spokane County Emergency Management recognizes Spokane County ARES as the established organizational and operational foundation of the county's RACES program. Therefore, in order to encompass the full scope of the group's mission, the joint organization shall be called Spokane County ARES/RACES.
Membership is available to any citizen of the
b. Each candidate
for membership must complete and send a Spokane City/County Emergency Worker
Registration Card application to Spokane County Emergency Management for a
Spokane County Sheriff's Department Volunteer photo identification
card. Applicants should expect a limited background check to be
conducted before approval of their registration is finalized with the signature
of the Deputy Director. Spokane City/County Emergency Management reserves
the right to refuse membership to any applicant it deems unsuitable. Should Emergency Management refuse to issue
a Sheriffs Department Volunteer photo identification card, membership with

e. Members are expected to have transportation in the form of a personal vehicle, someone who will provide them with transportation or public transportation to meetings, public service events, practice drills and activations.
All members of Spokane County ARES/RACES are volunteers, and the degree of professionalism and/or expertise to which members may either aspire or reach must never cloud this fact with respect to the expectations that are placed upon them at the time of their registration and afterward.
2. Proof of Membership and Identification
Proof of membership in Spokane County ARES/RACES is
an official letter of acceptance from the RACES Officer. Upon receiving
this letter, new members well be directed by the EC to contact Emergency
Management to obtain a Spokane County Sheriff's Department Volunteer photo identification
card, complete with identification number and photo on the front and department
insignia on the back. The identification card serves as proof of
membership in the field and is to be worn conspicuously on the person of any
ARES/RACES member involved in official business for
Members are not authorized to wear this identification at any other time and must relinquish possession of their Emergency Management and ARES identification cards upon termination of their membership in Spokane County ARES/RACES.
In addition to the County identification card, an ARES membership card will be given to all new members. This ARES card, required by the ARRL, serves as a receipt of membership in the ARES organization only and carries no official identification significance with regard to Emergency Management, the Sheriff's Office or any served agencies.
There is no official uniform for members of
· Completing NIMS ICS 100 & 700 training
· Receiving HIPPA training to comply with local and state hospital requirements
Membership will be evaluated on an ongoing basis. Each member is encouraged to participate to the fullest of his or her ability considering the following as active membership:
· Checking into at least ten Tuesday night nets per year
· Attending at least two monthly meetings per year
· Participating in at least one public service event per year
· Participating in at least one practice, simulated emergency or activation per year
The EC can substitute or waive these specific requirements to accommodate members with conflicts due to physical limitations, employment or other personal situations that make participation in these activities difficult or impossible.
The EC can substitute or waive these specific requirements to accommodate members with conflicts due to physical limitations, employment or other personal situations that make participation in these activities difficult or impossible.
From the ARES/RACES group, Emergency Management will choose one member to serve as the group's administrative leader or RACES Officer. This position is mandated by the rules governing RACES itself, and must be filled by a General Class, Advanced Class or Extra Class licensee, thoroughly knowledgeable of FCC Rules and Regulations and familiar with the functions of the American Radio Relay League and ARES. Individuals with strong organizational abilities, good verbal and written communications skills and experience in emergency center operations are ideal candidates.
All eligible members of Spokane County ARES/RACES may be considered, though the obvious choice for RACES Officer is the holder of the appointed ARRL Field Services position of Spokane County Emergency Coordinator (EC). Provided that this individual meets the mandated criteria and is willing to serve in the capacity of RACES officer, and provided that this individual is also acceptable to both the Deputy Director and the Director (the Spokane County Sheriff), the Director will, in writing, appoint this individual RACES Officer. Should the EC not wish to serve as the RACES officer, or should the Director, for some reason, find the EC an unsuitable candidate, another ARES member may be considered for the position of RACES Officer. In this case, at the discretion of both the Director and the Deputy Director, the ARES EC will serve as an Assistant RACES officer and the RACES officer will serve as an ARES Assistant EC. Additional ARES Assistant Emergency Coordinators may serve as assistants to the RACES Officer. It must remain clear that the RACES Officer serves at the discretion of Emergency Managements Director.
The ARES/RACES Plan is a document developed by the
RACES Officer outlining the organization, administration and action of Spokane
County ARES/RACES before, during and after an emergency. It is prepared in accordance with the needs

The telephone access number for this pager is available from the EC:
Persons with out the paging software can access the paging system with their touch-tone telephone by dialing the pager number. The voice prompt on the automated system will advise the caller to enter (at the tone) the four-digit PIN number of the pager the caller wishes to signal. Pager PIN numbers for Spokane County ARES/RACES are:

After entering the desired pager number, the caller will then be prompted to enter a numeric message after the tone.

Spokane City/County EM utilizes these pagers to activate ARES/RACES during emergency situations and as such both the EC/RO or the Duty AEC should respond as instructed and following activation procedures as outlined under Part VI. ARES/RACES Emergency Activation.
The pagers are tested daily by the DEM to insure the system is in proper working order.
A. Duty Assistant Emergency Coordinator

At present, the ARES/RACES Mobilization informatoin will be held by the ARES/RACES Leadership staff and each staff member will be responsible to use land line, cell including text messaging and email if available. During an emergency the Leadership Group will call his or her list and all stations able to meet on the air for mobilization will do so.
Telephone Calling List
This list contains the telephone numbers of all Spokane County ARES/RACES members, as well as a special list of ARES/RACES officers and other primary contact members. In order to maintain an effective level of privacy and security for ARES/RACES members, the list of members and their telephone numbers will be placed only with DEM and EOC copies of the Spokane County ARES/RACES Plan. This list will be updated monthly by the system operator of the ARES/RACES database.
The term "proactive response" was coined by Spokane County ARES/RACES leaders to describe the time of preparation preceding a highly probable activation. ARES/RACES is not a primary resource, therefore its activation is likely to be accomplished long after the primary responders are already in the field. This puts ARES/RACES at a time disadvantage when responding to emergencies. ARES/RACES participation works much better and provides a much better service when preparation and activation comes early in an incident. Officials are also much more likely to assign ARES/RACES resources when it is known early on that they are ready and available. Proactive Response helps to make early activation possible and can be broken down to two basic types of activity.
Spokane County ARES/RACES trains its members to be alert to the emergence of incidents in the area and share this information with each other, comparing information on the air or otherwise. Members have long been known to monitor emergency service providers, and while direct on-air discussions of subject matter concerning monitored traffic are discouraged (as per the Secrecy in Communications Act), discussions of a preparedness nature are encouraged. Recognizing that an activation may be imminent and making preparatory arrangements on the air, including notifying the membership, is the first part of a proactive response.
The second part of a proactive response is either calling or visiting the agency involved to inquire as to the possible need for ARES/RACES operators. To outsiders this activity might seem meddlesome, though to the agencies served by ARES/RACES it is recognized and accepted as quite helpful. The atmosphere of an emerging incident is of such a hectic and confused nature that an agency can sometimes forget about dispatching helpful resources, especially volunteer resources that can be quite effective during an initial response period. Too many times agency officials realize after the fact that it would have been helpful and advisable to call in ARES/RACES operators earlier --- or at all --- on an incident.
The policy of employing a proactive response has gotten Spokane County ARES/RACES involved in the early hours of almost every recent incident of any size. This has been helpful in earning ARES/RACES a reputation as a reliable and flexible resource. It has also brought acceptance of the proactive response policy itself, especially with officials of Spokane County Emergency Management and the CCB. This has encouraged ARES/RACES leaders to continue its active use.
Obviously, a proactive response is to be used only with great care and must be implemented only by experienced ARES/RACES leaders with the authority to act. This includes the RO/EC and the AECs. A proactive response may be followed by an actual response ONLY after 1) the requesting agency notifies EM of its desire to activate ARES/RACES, and 2) the Spokane County EM formally requests a mission number from the state DEM. Until that time, all operators must remain available in a standby status

Spokane County ARES/RACES members are encouraged to maintain station equipment that may be quickly and reliably put to use in emergency situations. Ready VHF and UHF handheld transceivers, versatile UHF, VHF and HF mobile stations and stations for fixed operations on UHF, VHF and HF that may be quickly disassembled, transported and assembled again for use in the field are all necessities for a timely response. Many members dedicate equipment specifically for use in emergency operations. Whatever kind of station equipment members take to an incident response, it must be in good condition and capable of supplying at least 72 hours of continuous service.

Besides equipment needs, operators must consider survival issues of clothing, shelter, food and safety. Consultation of several ARRL/ARES manuals on this subject is recommended
Spokane County Emergency Management is the primary served agency of Spokane County ARES/RACES and the clearinghouse of all ARES/RACES service to government agencies. During emergencies and official exercises, ARES/RACES applies top priority to supplying stations and operators at the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC), with the Mobile Emergency Operations Center (MEOC), with EM leaders as shadows in the field and with any other facilities, vehicles or personnel deemed necessary by DEM.
Particular attention must be paid at any time to the needs that the county may have with regard to communicating via RACES frequencies with the state ECC or other county ECCs.
The Spokane County ECC is located at the DEM building at 1618
N Rebecca in Spokane. At this time there
is no operating position nor antenna systems at the DEM building proper
however, an operating position is dedicated to ARES/RACES with access to VHF
voice and packet, and UHF voice communications, located at 1620 N Rebecca at
The ECC is a command location for emergency officials and
planners. It also is situated at a
low-elevation and is an electrically noisy location.. For these reasons, it is not the best
location for Net Control operations on VHF and especially on HF. It is the standing policy that, during a
large scale ARES/RACES operation, all NCS activities will be handled off site
if possible, leaving operators at the ECC/CCB to both monitor the incident and
concentrate on the command communications needs of agency officials only, using
the radio modes best suited to this task.
Off site NCS stations allow stations with better resources to handle the
immediate burden of controlling the net(s), insulated from the distractions
presented by EOC concerns and activity.
It may also be better for the Spokane County ECC to access the state EOC
via an of site HF station and have traffic relayed via VHF. Also, the CCB can utilize 147.200 maintained
by Karl Shoemaker. This repeater system
can be linked to the state EOC at
ARES/RACES operators will be supplied for Mobile Emergency Operations Centers at the request of DEM and/or the lead agency on the incident. These vehicles may or may not have antennas mounted on them for ARES/RACES frequencies, so operators assigned to them should be prepared to provide their own station components.
Due to their familiarity with ECC operations, ARES/RACES operators may be requested to provide additional communications-related services in the building.
Spokane County ARES/RACES will be activated to provide auxiliary communications during "mass casualty" incidents. Although a mass casualty or multi-casualty incident is defined as one that occurs when the number of casualties is beyond the capabilities of the initial responding resources, it can be assumed that ARES/RACES will be called only if an incident is of such a magnitude that the mass casualty incident plan is put into effect to its fullest. At that point, it is expected that large numbers of victims will require not only possible rescue and/or medical treatment at the scene, but transportation to hospitals as well. It can also be assumed that all agencies providing medical aid, transportation, communications, emergency worker rehab and public information will be taxed to their fullest.
The request for ARES/RACES operators
will be made to the
During a mass casualty incident,
ARES/RACES will send 7 operators immediately to the scene of the incident for
the purpose of "shadowing" the following
1. Medical
Group Supervisor: Supervises the units who triage, treat and
transport victims. Establishes and
maintains liaison with other agencies participating at the incident.
2. Triage
Team Leader: Directs and coordinates primary triage and
tagging of victims. Expedites movement
of priority victims to treatment and transport areas.
3. Treatment
Team Leader: Directs and coordinates on-site medical care
and secondary triage of victims in the treatment area.
4. Transportation
Team Leader: Directs and coordinates victim loading and
assists the Hospital Assignment Officer with dispatch to medical facilities.
5. Staging
Area Manager: Coordinates with law enforcement. Maintains a log of emergency vehicles,
establishes a staging area. Reviews with
Command needed resources for the Staging Area and coordinates with
Transportation Team Leader for resources required.
6. Supply
Team Leader: Determines medical supply needs. Establishes a suitable location for supply
operations and coordinates with Transportation Team Leader in the procurement
of medical supplies form area hospitals.
7. Morgue Team Leader: Directs the protection and identification of bodies in cooperation with the Coroner.
Spokane County ARES/RACES operators will also be utilized, as needed, when groups of victims require transportation from the incident scene to medical facilities by vehicles other than ambulances or helicopters (such as STA buses or school buses), or when such vehicles are used for any related purpose (such as sheltering or rehab) during such an incident.
Spokane County ARES/RACES operators will be utilized at area hospital emergency rooms to "back-up" and/or augment the HEAR radio system, allowing auxiliary paths of communication to exist between the incident scene and the hospitals. ARES/RACES operators must be prepared to be the primary source of communications at hospitals if the HEAR system breaks down or if the situation otherwise requires it. Hospitals to which operators will likely be sent are listed below. Hospitals with antennas installed for ARES/RACES use are designated with the following symbol: (A).
800 W. Fifth
Sacred Heart Medical Center (A)
4815 N. Assembly
6. St Luke's Rehabilitation Institute (A)
When helicopter ambulances are
likely to be used, one ARES/RACES operator will be assigned to the MedStar Communications Center on top of
ARES/RACES operators will be assigned to Red Cross officials at the incident scene, serving in either mobile or fixed positions. Two to four operators may be required, depending on the needs at the time. An operator at the Red Cross Chapter Building may also be required. ARES/RACES Net Control may operate from the Red Cross Chapter station.
One ARES/RACES operator will be stationed in the vicinity of the Incident Commander. This operator will attempt to be as close as possible to the command center and its officials, although housing in the actual command center may be impractical or impossible.
ALL CASES operators should be prepared for any assignment, with hand-held
or mobile-type transceivers for the 2 meter band (sub-audible tone capability
included), appropriate magnetic mount mobile antennas, feed line extensions and
adapters, sufficient batteries and/or power supplies, DC cables for operation
in other vehicles and any necessary tools.
Operators should also be dressed properly for the situation and the
elements, possessing their
Spokane County ARES/RACES is presently working with county fire agencies through the Combined Communications Biulding to formalize and make official an unofficial operating plan that has evolved since 1994. Since that time, ARES/RACES, through the leadership of Spokane County Fire District 9 and the DEM, has been involved in major fire and rescue incidents by linking dispatch centers to each other (including the communications center for DNR Northeast in Colville) and providing auxiliary communications (including packet communications) between dispatch centers, command posts, staging areas, the Spokane Area Fire Resource Center and the Emergency Operations Center. ARES/RACES has also linked dispatch centers to local utilities during communications emergencies.
ARES/RACES will serve the county's fire departments and districts by providing auxiliary communications networks during emergencies related to fire and rescue. Operators will work at the Combined Communications Building, at command posts, staging areas, the ECC and in any other locations in need of additional communications that emergency officials deem necessary.
Currently, and in the future, a proactive response by ARES/RACES is encouraged when major incidents are unfolding.
During project fires,
ARES/RACES members are
requested to supply SKYWARN weather spotter reports to the weather service
whenever conditions merit, usually during severe local storms, occurrences of
extraordinary weather phenomena or to verify Doppler radar reports. Interested members take a weather spotter
class and acquire identification numbers from the Weather Service. They may phone reports directly to the
All spotters are advised to regularly consult
broadcasts of the local NOAA Weather Radio station to keep informed of weather
forecasts and advisories. Any time
SKYWARN spotters observe any of the weather conditions listed in the table
below or observe any other significant or unusual weather event that they feel
may be important, they are urged to call the
Watch for rotation in cloud and damage
Pea-sized or larger
One half (0.50) inch in one hour
One inch in 12 hours
One and one half inches in 24 hours
4 inches in 12 hours
6 inches in 24 hours
Of any kind ... including possible dam or levee failure. Is water still rising or is it falling?
One half mile or less in blowing dust or snow, etc.
Any conditions in which poor or hazardous travel conditions are observed or reported.
Any winds estimated to be over about 40 miles per hour; or winds that produce any damage.
Be sure to include location, time and specific cause.
Though technological developments such as Doppler radar have added a new dimension to the forecasting and warning capabilities of the National Weather Service in Spokane, SKYWARN spotters still provide invaluable "ground truth" information through instantaneously relayed spotter reports. These reports enable NWS meteorologists to correlate radar signatures with severe weather occurrences to improve warning specificity and lead time. They also help meteorologists to learn more about storm structure and evolution in order to improve future warnings.
ARES has a traditional bond of service to Red Cross,
providing operators to link the Red Cross Chapter office (in Spokane at 315 W.
Nora) with personnel in the field, either in shelters, mass care centers,
warehouses or emergency response vehicles.
Depending on the incident, Red Cross may request most communications
duties be turned over to ARES/RACES for the duration of the emergency. Red Cross also has a policy of requesting an
ARES/RACES operator to accompany an ERV (emergency response vehicle) or the
ECRV (emergency response communications vehicle) on non-disaster emergency
responses out of the reliable service range of the Red Cross radio system. The ARES/RACES operator will provide
communications between the ERV and Red Cross duty officers in
ARES/RACES can also provide a link between Red Cross and the network of disaster response agencies in the field. Because Red Cross is designated a supplier of emergency support resources in the Spokane County Comprehensive Emergency Plan, it is in the interest of Spokane County Emergency Management during any emergency operation to remain closely linked to Red Cross facilities and vehicles. ARES/RACES provides a means to maintain this link with all stations in the Red Cross response network over the long term.
with the Red Cross, ARES/RACES has traditional bonds of service to the
Salvation Army. The Salvation Army (with

Savvy investors have long realized the advantages of owning real, tangible assets, especially those backed by underlying land. Real estate, both commercial and residential, is probably most familiar to alternative investors. But agriculture offers many of the same benefits, and can help diversify the real asset portions of a portfolio. In most cases, both commercial real estate and agriculture produce yield by collecting rents from tenants and returns from the appreciating value of land and the improvements on that land.Read More
Top 5 Myths About Investing in Agriculture
For most of us, going to the grocery store involves creating a shopping list, fighting through crowds in the meat department, and dreading the lines at the cash register. There's not much thought about how the food got there, or where the money came from to produce such a large amount of food needed to supply grocery store shelves. You may just think it's all on the farmer, which in the past, it very well was.
Read More
In today's age, there are opportunities to invest in agriculture and make a difference in what ends up in grocery stores. Yes, you can invest in agriculture, and no you don't have to be a farmer. Take a look at the other top myths about investing in agriculture.
Why Row Crops Make A Smart Alternative Investment
Similar to stocks or other traditional assets, agricultural investments can include many different sectors within the industry as a whole. With all of the available options, how does one decide which types of crops to invest in? One of the most common options is row crops. These commodity crops‒such as wheat, corn, and soybeans‒are staples of almost every country's diet, and have historically been used by investors as a hedge against inflation. In addition to being consumed, these products are often used in feed for livestock and are the raw ingredients of almost everything we eat. The need for these crops will never subside; grains, corn, and soy are so prevalent in the food industry that demand is guaranteed to stand the test of time. The United States is the largest grain exporter in the world by quite a significant margin, and recent price stability is a good sign for both farmers and investors alike.Read More
What Are Alternative Investments and How Does Agriculture Fit In?
It's no secret that the stock market is the most common choice for most investors attempting to build their nest eggs. Millions of Americans regularly add stocks to their retirement accounts with the expectation that their hard-earned dollars are safe. Market cycles and inevitable corrections are a normal part of investing. However, some analysts are predicting that the next stock market crisis could eclipse that of 2007-2008. Cash, the traditional safe haven for investors, is not attractive due to persistent historically low interest rates, and large cash positions are continually eroded by inflation. This largely unprecedented environment has investors scrambling to protect their financial wealth and secure yield through alternative investments.Read More
Looking For A Sweet Investment? Try Chocolate!
What do tonight's dessert and your next investment have in common? Potentially chocolate, or cacao plants, at least. Consumer demand for specialty cacao beans continues to grow and is actually outpacing farmers' ability to grow it in some areas. The demand for specialty or flavored beans used in premium dark chocolate goods is rising even faster than the traditional bulk cacao beans used in other candy that many farmers are used to growing. Like many other soft commodities, the production of cacao is concentrated in a small group of mostly developing countries in the tropics. These farms are susceptible to extreme weather, conflicts, credit shortages, and lack of working capital. Even so, cacao farms present an attractive option for investors looking for relatively low-risk opportunities.Read More
Hop Up Your Portfolio
Craft beer is sweeping the nation and changing the beverage industry. Parts of the farming industry have also undergone some major changes thanks to the surge in popularity of small-batch brews. Craft beer uses more key ingredients per batch than their large, national competitors. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average craft beer uses 3-7 times as much malt per barrel as a mass market beer. In addition to malt, which comes from barley, the demand for hops to brew IPAs has increased dramatically.Read More
Bring Your Investments South of the Border
Though sometimes overshadowed by Brazil's political turmoil, the country's agriculture sector nevertheless remains strong and competitive in the global market. There are large tracts of underdeveloped land that hold much potential for investors willing to put in the necessary capital to convert pastureland to farmland. It is expected that the world population will surpass 9 billion by 2050, meaning food production will have to increase by 70% to meet demand. Brazil is perfectly suited to accommodate this growing demand due to the availability of land.Read More
How Equity Crowdfunding Is Different From Kickstarter
Crowdfunding is probably a word you have heard thrown around more and more in the past few years, but you may still be unsure of exactly what it encompasses. That's a reasonable response because crowdfunding has come to mean different things to different people. There are two major types of crowdfunding: donation-based crowdfunding like Kickstarter or GoFundMe, and investment, or equity crowdfunding. Most people are generally familiar with platforms like Kickstarter, but may not have as much experience with equity crowdfunding. While equity crowdfunding also raises money via an internet platform, the two are vastly different. To clear up any confusion between the two different types of crowdfunding, we have outlined the major differences between them.Read More
What You Should Know About Non-GMO Investments
Genetically modified organism (GMO) crops were first introduced to the market over 20 years ago as an environmentally-friendly solution to the problem of producing food for a rapidly growing world population. In many parts of the world, they are still seen as the solution for malnutrition, like these bananas that were created to provide children with vital nutrition they were lacking. They are genetically engineered to include traits such as resistance to weeds and pests, allowing farmers to use fewer pesticides. However, in some cases, weeds adapted and became more resistant to herbicide, meaning farmers had to increase their use of it. In addition to the concerns about the safety of ingesting GMOs, consumers began to worry about the health concern of more herbicides being consumed. Recently, the popularity of non-GMO crops has risen, as consumers seek out GMO-free products and farmers return to planting conventional seeds.Read More
Crowdfunding for Agriculture
Agriculture is a broad, ever-changing field that is rapidly advancing to keep up with global consumers and increase yields and profits. A more slowly-evolving sector has been access to financing. Equity crowdfunding is an emerging option to help farmers obtain capital.Read More
Capital Investments in Poultry
America consumes more chicken than any other country, driving a massive demand for poultry production. There are around 25,000 family farms involved in poultry production, and as demand for poultry products continues to rise, so does the need for poultry farms. It is becoming increasingly common for large companies to offer multi-million dollar contracts to farmers to raise chickens. In this arrangement, the company will provide the animals and feed, and the farmer will house and care for the birds. This arrangement ends up demanding a sizeable upfront investment on the farmer's end, as he must develop the infrastructure of his farm and build large barns for the chickens.Read More
Investing in Agriculture vs. Investing in Stocks
The stock market is where most investors invest the majority of their money, but is that really the safest place for it? Some analysts have called the current investing environment "the everything bubble" and are predicting that the next financial crisis could eclipse the one of 2007-2008. Lofty equity valuations along with continued low yields have driven more and more people towards alternative investments to protect and grow their wealth. Commercial real estate, precious metals, oil, and gas are well known alternative asset classes; agriculture is somewhat lesser known, but nonetheless important to consider. How do agricultural investments stack up against investments in more traditional stocks?Read More
Diversifying Your Portfolio With Agriculture
We've covered the many benefits of investing in agriculture, and we often highlight the ability to diversify a portfolio. But what does that really mean? Diversification is important for investors, financial planners, and fund managers alike, as it can help protect a portfolio during a downturn in the market. When other, riskier investments are performing well, it can be easy to forget about (or avoid) investing in safer, low-risk investments that don't promise a large, immediate return. Nevertheless, diversifying a portfolio is essential and agriculture can make a great addition by providing stable returns with very low risk. Agricultural production is one of the oldest investments out there, and can also be one of the most stable and profitable.Read More
5 Ways To Make Money With Investments In Agriculture
There are many reasons to invest in agriculture: it is a low-risk investment that keeps pace with inflation and increases in value over the long-term, it is a tangible asset that provides benefit to the community, and it can diversify a portfolio. But how exactly does an investment like this make money? Depending on the investment and the type of farm, investors can profit through several different ways. We've covered five of the most common ways agriculture generates returns below.Read More
A Little Pork in your Portfolio
Americans have been eating pork for centuries, ever since the first hogs were imported to the United States in 1539. Nowadays, 42% of red meat eaten in the U.S. is pork, and that number has been continuously increasing throughout the past few decades. By the end of 2018, the USDA predicts that demand for pork in America will meet or exceed that of beef. We also export the majority of the world's pork and pork products, so the future for hog farmers and their investors looks bright.Read More
Famous Investors Growing Wealth with Agriculture
When building a portfolio, you may be tempted to stick with traditional stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds and stay away from nontraditional investment opportunities. For many, the idea of investing in agriculture is unfamiliar and seems too unconventional since it does not receive as much attention in mainstream investment discussions. Yet investments in farmland and timberland are much more common than you think, as many of the world's largest investors already understand the benefit of agricultural investing and how it can help them preserve and grow their wealth. Not only do these investments offer steady returns and desirable tax benefits, they can offer investors a chance to pursue their dreams of owning farms or ranches.Read More
The Tax Advantages of Investing in Agriculture
Investing in agriculture is a relatively low-risk way to diversify a portfolio, it provides tangible community benefits, but it can also offer investors unique tax advantages. There are several different tax benefits you may be eligible for as an investor, depending on in the type of crop and how the deal is structured. Below, we explore some of the most common tax advantages associated with agricultural investments.Investing in agriculture is a relatively low-risk way to diversify a portfolio, it provides tangible community benefits, but it can also offer investors unique tax advantages.

The Top 10 Investment Trends in Agriculture
The huge variety of crop choices can be overwhelming to investors new to the agriculture asset class. An option for choosing potentially profitable investments is to follow society's food trends. Many Americans these days are heavily dedicated to eating clean, local, organic foods. Trending diets and popular foods are raising the value of these crops to farmland owners and investors.Read More
How to Invest in Agriculture With Your IRA
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a type of savings account that is designed to help you save for retirement and offers many tax advantages. One of the best things about an IRA, as opposed to an employer-sponsored retirement plan like a 401k, is that there is a vastly larger selection of investment options available within the account. Agriculture can be a great addition to any portfolio, providing a low-risk option that generates stable income in the form of profit from the farm and capital gains as the land appreciates in value.Read More
What is My Farm Worth?
Whether you are in the market to sell or just curious, land-owners often wonder how much their farm is worth. There are many factors that make up a farm's value. Property location, type of crop, soil, and physical condition of the land will all be taken into account, so it can be overwhelming to try and put a dollar value on your land. Not to mention, family farms have a certain sentimental value that should also be taken into consideration. Luckily, there are a lot of different ways to approach evaluating your land's market value.Read More

Pregaming the Impeachment Trial of Judge Thomas Porteous
It's not every day that the U.S. Senate holds an impeachment trial for a federal official.
In fact, it's not even every decade. Consider this: the last one overseen by the Senate, in 1999, involved President Bill Clinton.
But another impeachment trial is set to begin early next week, one involving New Orleans federal Judge G. Thomas Porteous (pictured), who is accused of corruption dating back decades, including an alleged kickback scheme with a law firm. Click here for the National Law Journal story previewing the trial, by David Ingram.
According to the NLJ story, the trial will present some "unusual questions" . . .

Cunliffe floored by pensioner
Vilma Brooking stole the show at David Cunliffe's visit to Wesleyhaven Village rest home in the Hutt Valley this morning.
She posed questions that summed up the campaign and gave a bear hug that put the Labour leader on his backside beside her.
But she was a reluctant star.
"I'm not bloody giving it [her name] to you, my daughter will kill me," she said when she was first asked for her name.
Her opening shot set the scene for a day Cunliffe would use to highlight Government help for the elderly.
"When you first started I didn't really like you but you've grown on me," Brooking said.
She also wanted to to know "why don't you let America have Dotcom?"
Cunliffe replied: "you know we will", but said it was a matter for the courts.
"Yes, but we don't expect you to be too honest," Brooking shot back.
"But as my daughter said at least he [Cunliffe] had the guts to say he wouldn't work with old pimples and that's a start."
Cunliffe chose to interpret that as a reference to the Internet-Mana Party and repeated that the party would not be in any government he led.
Another resident pitched in with a question about where the money was coming from for Labour's promises.
The promises include raising the minimum wage and Cunliffe hinted he would later today announce a pay rise for rest-home workers.
The answer was that Labour finance spokesman David Parker's "Scottish Presbyterian" background had ensured the spending was fully costed and that a surplus would be delivered.
Cunliffe quickly made a beeline for Brooking after questions and, squatting down in front of her, was bear-hugged to the ground.
Vilma told me "When you first came into the job I didn't think much of you. But... today I'm wearing red"! pic.twitter.com/U63WB7kR2V
After she had met him it seemed a fair bet Cunliffe would get her vote.
But her daughter might not be so keen.
"I daren't go home, my daughter's National," she said.

Running Into Thin Air
Sunday, January 16, 2005
I sat in the near-freezing night air at about 12,000 feet, wrapped in a sleeping bag, and pondered the misery that had enveloped me. A glorious star-filled sky failed to ease my discomfort. I had walked out of the dark barracks, which slept about two dozen adventure runners, to offer them some relief from my incessant coughing, which had kept us up for most of the night. It was the first evening of the annual five-day Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race, and it had started badly.
The tortuous 24-mile course had begun at dawn that October morning at 6,600 feet and ended 5,400 feet higher at the border outpost camp of Sandakphu, in northeastern India near the Nepal border, in uncomfortably thin and chilled air. The conditions only worsened my five-day cold and created nausea that killed my appetite. Now I sat in solitude, hungry, tired and cold, praying for cough relief so my barracks mates could get some sleep. And there were still four days of the race remaining.
The Himalayan race is one of the most challenging ultramarathons in the world, appealing to endurance runners who seek a prolonged adventure that tests them mentally as well as physically. Part of the adventure is the logistical challenge of moving every other day to a new location. We slept in a barracks-style dormitory with no hot running water and limited electricity; a Sherpa hotel with toilets, running water and several people to a room; and a comparatively luxurious hotel with hot showers and private rooms. A traveling food caravan provided three catered meals per day.
Anyone can compete, but those who are not fit risk serious injury, not to mention having a miserable experience. Most runners entered the race having previously done at least one marathon. I raised my weekly running from 15 to 25 miles the month before the race and felt strong.
The trade-off, of course, is the glorious mountain scenery and mix of Asian cultures. No other adventure running race takes you through the winding, rolling trails of the beautiful eastern Himalayan mountains and, for a portion, within viewing distance of four of the five highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest.
Race director C.S. Pandey, 43, grew up in the Himalayas and was a young distance runner at a time few of his countrymen understood what that meant. "When I started running in the mountains, people were laughing at me; they said I am crazy," said Pandey, who has completed 22 ultramarathons. "There was no concept in India of running in the mountains and competitions in the adventure sports."
Pandey, who runs Himalayan Run & Trek, the company that organizes the race, has helped change that. Thirty-nine runners from 12 countries took part in the 14th annual run, held Oct. 31 to Nov. 4. We gathered in the tourist town of Mirik, in the northern neck of the northeastern state of West Bengal in the Darjeeling District, for a day and a half of preparation. I spent most of that time in my hotel room, trying to rest my weary, cold-ridden body.
Shortly after dawn the next day, we set off for a 2 1/2-hour bus ride to the village of Maneybhanyjang, India, the site of the race start and finish. A band of musicians greeted us, and villagers looked on quietly from nearby hillsides. We savored the moment, mingling with locals, filming videos and snapping pictures.
A few hours later, the mood was vastly different. The first stage rose 5,500 feet in 24 miles. Most runners walked much of the first stage, navigating cobblestone roads on nasty inclines -- some so steep you could reach out and touch the ground in front of you while walking. Then there was Christian Schiester, 37, of Austria, who said he trained for the race by running more than 3,700 miles in eight months in the Austrian Alps, and who ran the entire stage. Schiester eventually won the race in 14 hours 43 minutes, beating the previous record by 15 minutes.
Not every runner handled the first stage so comfortably. Martin Harrow, 44, of Great Britain quickly retreated to his bunk after finishing the run and wrapped himself in a comforter. "I just need to get warm," he said. "And then I might eat something." A few minutes later he vomited, and again, after trying to eat. He wasn't the only runner suffering from nausea at the high elevation.
A somber mood engulfed the camp that night. Still, most of us were eager to rise at 5:30 a.m. to see the sunrise strike the impressive peaks staring at us from Nepal. The surreal view looking west from our camp, into Nepal and the mountains in the distance, shook us from our weary states.
Later that day, temperaments at camp changed dramatically. The second stage, a 20-miler along a rolling path on the border between India and Nepal, ended for most runners by noon, under a warming sun (60 degrees) and clear skies. By mid-afternoon we were downright giddy, wrapped in blankets and sleeping bags, swapping humorous tales of misadventure and inspiration. No matter the challenges, we were going to have fun.
Conditions for the third stage, the Mount Everest Challenge Marathon, were ideal the next morning: crisp temperatures in the 40s, a clear sky and bright sun. I had planned to run the entire marathon, but sanity prevailed; I caught a ride in the media jeep and hopped out eight miles later. A fresh frost covered the ground, creating a magical setting as I began my journey at 12,000 feet.
I ended the adventure 4 1/2 hours later, 5,400 feet lower and seemingly in a different world. Along the way, I enjoyed the most invigorating run of my life.
The quiet vastness of the environment pushed me to a calming rhythm. The tame terrain of the first few miles was a mixture of mild inclines and declines on a trail twisting through short bushes and trees in wide open spaces.
I spotted a lone yak and stopped to take its picture; it stared indifferently ahead, oblivious to me. About a mile later I came across three weathered, native trekkers heading in the opposite direction. They had just hiked the portion of the trail that awaited me, and eagerly told me -- one spoke English quite well -- of the great adventure that was to come.
Four miles later, the path changed dramatically. The rolling terrain became a sharp decline and would remain so for most of the remaining 10 miles. The trail turned treacherous as I navigated rocks and boulders and shimmied through thin ruts.
About a third of the way down, at the hill village of Siri Khola, I passed a school and interrupted my run to pay a visit. The teacher welcomed me inside the wooden three-room building, where 20 or so children greeted me with bewildered expressions and smiles.
The last stretch was the most surreal three miles I have ever run. The mostly dirt trail wound through a forest on ledges that overlooked the Rammam River hundreds of feet below, then passed through several villages. About a mile from the finish, I slowed to a walk to better savor my surroundings, then sat for a few minutes to further soak it all in. It was as spiritual a run as I have ever experienced.
A half-hour later, I basked shirtless in the warm sun in a hotel courtyard near the finish line with a dozen other runners. Our most intense challenges were over.
Later that night, we enjoyed our first evening of drunken revelry at our hotel in the Sherpa village of Rimbik. The camaraderie continued the next night after the 13-mile fourth stage, during an outdoor cultural presentation that featured villagers performing traditional Nepalese and Tibetan folk dances for the racers.
Moods were upbeat moments before the start of the final stage, a hilly 17-miler that ended back in Maneybhanyjang. "There's nothing to prove today," said Andrew Dart, 27, of Great Britain. "We just want to enjoy it and see the finish line, see the smiles on everyone's faces as we come through."
The 15th annual Himalayan 100 Mile Stage Race is scheduled for Oct. 21-28 in Maneybhanyjang, India. The cost of $1,650 includes shared accommodations at Mirik Lake Resort, mountain huts at Sandakphu and lodges at Rimbik, plus meals, transportation, aid stations, guides, porters, full race support and Bagdogra Airport transfers. Airfare from the United States to India is not included. Details: Himalayan Run & Trek, www.himalayan.com.

Hyderabad: Rubina Fatima 46 from Vatepally was sold in Oman by a Gulf travel agent. She was promised a salary of Rs.80,000 as a maid in Dubai. On arrival, her in Dubai on February 3, Md Abdul Sattar of Ababil Group Tours and Travels took Rubina to Oman.
She was then sold to Rajat Arabi in Oman. Since then, she is being continuously transported from one place to another and is forced to do odd jobs.
"Since three months my wife is facing trouble and she is also being assaulted by people there. They are not providing her food and medicines. She is also not allowed to come back to India although her visit visa has expired. She is being detained there illegally" said her husband Ghulam Hyder.
He also said, "We have filed a complaint to Falaknuma police about this with the help of Mr Amjadullah Khan. We never knew what to do. It was Mr Khan who helped us. He has also requested the external affairs minister to get my wife back to India."
Mr Amjadullah Khan said, "It's very important to understand that the number of migrants facing problems is increasing in Telangana and it's the need of the hour that the government of Telangana addresses this issue and orders the police to book these agents under the PD Act. The agents are now being booked only for cheating. They are coming out on bail and continuing their business. Strong action should be taken against the agents."
Inspector of Falaknuma said, "We have booked the agents under Section 420 and are hopeful that the external affairs ministry will help the family", as reported in DC.

New Hillstream Loach Article.
Posted By: Martin Thoene. <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Wednesday, 15 March 2000, at 7:48 p.m.
Jeff has kindly just put onto LOL my latest article. It is a compilation of personal experience of myself and others, some theorising about the reasons for the specialised adaptations of these fish,and how best to keep them, etc. It replaces the original Loach Oxygen requirements article that used to be accessed from the LOL Homepage side-bar, as this is now included within the new article.
Currently, it is missing a header piece of artwork which I will get to Jeff as soon as I can scan it. Another attempted scan is too big for me to send him, so until my usually accessible one is fixed and I can play with file size, it's on hold.
I hope people find it enjoyable and informative.
Hillstream Loaches. The specialists at life in the fast lane.

Wrekker Kase: Eight Months Old
It is great to be eight, indeed (Months that is)! Wrekker has decided that he doesn't enjoy crawling too much and is already walking around all of our furniture. It is crazy to see him so mobile! He loves to ride in the bike trailer. He loves to wear his WRECKER onesie. He loves the big pool, and even goes under water when Grandma and Grandpa throw him in. He loves to look out the window now that he can see out of our big car. He loves his Grandma and cries when she leaves. He is starting to be a little more difficult on our long drives to SLC. He is so goofy and so fun!

Rian Johnson and a number of the cast of 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' presented behind-the-scenes footage from the upcoming film at D23 over the weekend
Rian Johnson had the "time of his life" making 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'.
The 43-year-old writer-and director has been working hard on the eighth installment of the saga and had a great time because the sci-fi series means so much to him.
Speaking on stage at Disney's D23 event, where behind-the-scenes footage from the upcoming film was shown, he said: "My friends, whenever I talk to them recently … ask me what the experience was like, I always come back and say I had the time of my life making this movie.
"Part of that is what Star Wars means to me, and what it means to a lot of us."
Rian was introduced to the audience at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California by Disney chair Alan Horn, who began the 'Star Wars' presentation with a tribute to the late Carrie Fisher, who passed away in December.
He said: "I know we were all stunned and shocked that she passed away. She was a very, very special person.
"I know it's impossible to imagine you could love her more than you already do, but you will really appreciate her performance in this film."
Rian was then joined on the panel by returning cast members Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, John Boyega, who is Finn, and Gwendoline Christie, who plays the formidable Captain Phasma, and newcomers Kellie Marie Tran as Resistance mechanic Rose, Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, and Benicio Del Toro as a mysterious character nicknamed D.J..
The group shared some teasers for the film before the footage was shown.
Referring to Gwendoline's Captain Phasma, John teased: "Finn's about to have a fight with a formidable opponent ….
"It's going to be … it's going to be very, very cool."
The 38-year-old actress described her Phasma suit as "very empowering".
And she jokingly added: "But it can also get very warm, so I tend to pop a casserole into there."
Kellie Marie is elated to have joined the franchise.
She said: "I felt like I got the golden ticket and was Charlie in the Chocolate Factory."
And she was then teased by the director for saying "pew-pew-pew" while wielding her weapons during filming.
She quipped: "I didn't remember that you don't have to say the words you used to say when you were eight."
Meanwhile, Benicio admitted he had also jumped at the chance to be in the film.
He told the filmmaker: "I saw the original 1977 one when I was 10, so when you called me up and mentioned the title alone, I was like, 'Let's go.' "
Rian then introduced a final cast member – Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, and the franchise veteran received a standing ovation.
He said: "There are so many unexpected elements, which is great with 'Star Wars' because it's getting harder and harder to do that. That's much more artful. I misspeak sometimes."
