The document outlines a concept called Triangle of Trade that aims to facilitate successful commodity trades between African buyers and sellers. It proposes an online/offline platform that would:
1) Connect qualified buyers and sellers and allow them to securely complete deals through mediation, reversing the high failure rate of current deals.
2) Use a portion of revenues to fund a foundation called Regenesis that would support innovative African business ventures.
3) Consist of a website and physical facility that together would register users, store confidential information, verify parties, and mediate negotiations through an 8-step process to close deals.
Frustrated commodity traders currently waste vast amounts of time and money on deals that statistically have a less than 1 in 10 chance of success. Triangle of Trade’s solution reverses those odds, and in the process offers us a true ‘blue ocean’ opportunity to create uncontested market space that will render current options obsolete and irrelevant.

The document discusses recent initiatives by the USPTO and Supreme Court that have increased focus on patent quality in the US. It summarizes data from a study ranking the top US law firms in terms of the quality of patents they obtain based on an "Ocean Tomo Rating" score. Firms specializing in specific industries like healthcare and IT dominate the rankings. The popularity of new post-issuance review procedures introduced by the AIA, like inter partes reviews, have further intensified the spotlight on patent quality and changed how patent applications are drafted to withstand scrutiny.
This document summarizes a research project analyzing the "brogramming" culture in the IT industry and its impact on women. The author conducted a survey of 38 IT workers (21 women and 17 men) and 5 interviews to understand job satisfaction, relationships with coworkers and supervisors, and future plans. The literature review found that women face biases, lack of support, and an unwelcoming culture in the male-dominated IT field. The results of the study support that this "brogramming" culture discriminates against women and contributes to the lack of women in the IT industry. Addressing this problem could help increase the number of women pursuing and staying in IT careers.
The 2014 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon from Bello Family Vineyards was produced from a single vineyard located on the Rutherford Bench. The warm and dry growing season resulted in small berries with concentrated flavors. The wine has a dense ruby/purple color with aromas of blackcurrants, licorice and sweet oak. Flavors of raspberry, blueberry and cherry carry through to the mid-palate, finishing with long, velvety tannins and notes of bittersweet chocolate and raspberry. Made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, it spent 22 months in new French oak barrels and should age well for 15 years or more.

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on wheat production. Researchers found that higher temperatures and changing rainfall patterns will significantly reduce wheat yields across major wheat-producing regions by 2050. The study concludes that efforts must be made to develop wheat varieties that can tolerate hotter and drier conditions to ensure future global food security as the climate continues to warm.

How to Select a Clearing Firm 2020: A Guide for RoboadvisorsBrian Cedeno

Marketplace Lending / Fintech (Series: BUSINESS BORROWING BASICS 2018)Financial Poise
The emergence of the internet completely revolutionized the lending landscape. Innovative financial technology is changing the way businesses borrow and lenders loan money, offering the promise of increased convenience and access to financial services. One such innovation is the emergency of “marketplace lending,” sometimes referred to as “peer-to-peer” or “platform” lending. Lenders who occupy this space are typically online non-bank financial companies that built technology platforms and online marketing strategies to match borrowers and lenders. The platforms connect businesses who seek to borrow money with investors willing to buy or invest in the loan. In my most cases, once a loan is made, the platform collects principal and interest payments and makes payments, less fees that the platform keeps, to investors. This webinar discusses marketplace lending from a macro perspective, including the regulatory regime that governs the space. It compares marketplace lending with other forms of lending. And it explores some of the pros and cons of borrowing from a marketplace lender.

Changing Properties - Building trust in property transactions using Third Par...Geoff Dunnett
The document discusses the potential for technology-enabled third party managed accounts (TPMAs) to improve property transactions in the UK. It notes that trust is crucial in property transactions given their importance and cost. However, the current system relying on client accounts faces issues like delays, cancellations and fraud that undermine trust. The document examines how TPMAs could help address these issues while balancing the need for innovation with maintaining trust. It provides an overview of regulatory frameworks and responsibilities when using client accounts versus TPMAs. Overall, the document argues that TPMAs have potential benefits but awareness and adoption is currently low, and common standards and collaboration are needed to fully realize the benefits for all parties involved in property transactions.

Fintech in 2017: What Will be the Most Interesting Areas to Invest? - Workshop by Alexander Frolov, General Partner of Target Global at the NOAH Conference London 2016, Old Billingsgate on the 10th of November 2016.
With a market capitalization of $2.03 billion, the crypto business has gone to glorious extents. Without a doubt, investors keep on pouring more cash into Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Today, there are 457 exchanging platforms across the world.
1) The document proposes an online cashless trading system called Tradesbay that uses a proprietary compatibility algorithm and virtual currency to facilitate trading goods online without cash.
2) It aims to address issues with traditional online trading sites like high fees, limited product variety, and privacy concerns by allowing users to trade goods for virtual currency points assigned based on the good's quality and condition.
3) The system would verify goods, evaluate them, assign trading points, then make goods available for trade using those points to minimize costs for users and promote more accessible online trading.
2. Commodity traders find it very difficult to successfully
close African commodity deals.
The vast majority of these transactions inevitably bog-
down and are ultimately aborted … with vast amounts
of time and money wasted in the process.
Reasons include an absence of mutual trust,
incompatible procedures, scammers, etc.
It’s a problem crying out for a practical solution but,
until now, none has been proposed that actually
works.
