NEW in the page Church donations: John Smyth and Justin Welby raise issues that go far beyond an abuser and an ex-Church 'leader,' requiring, I argue, recognition of the central failure of Christian dogma, of what Jesus taught.
A United States Patent has been awarded to me for my
New
Trellising System with 'dual layer structural units' for growing farm crops
with wide-ranging environmental and other benefits.
This is described and explained in detail,
with technical information, in the
Official Patent Document pdf file.
I've also two wide-ranging inventions which are
Patent Pending in the USA:
(1) New window-door system
provides multiple environmental and other benefits (eg security, fire safety)
with multiple applications: homes,
offices, factories, very large as well as small buildings. It
allows different materials (eg insulating, reflective, single or
multiple) to be quickly and easily installed in windows and doors to
substantially reduce the impact of eg very high or very low
temperatures.
(2)
New roofing-walling system
also has multiple applications and
benefits, in ease of construction, water collecting and
conservation, mitigation of flooding and drought, and other areas.
