Adopt Good

I have a great idea that would help out with infants and toddlers. My idea is still in the design faze but I will have a prototype within a few weeks. I was looking into getting a patent on this idea but was informed that I am better off pitching to a company and licensing because the company will move forward with the patent. I assume this is due to patents being costly with a chance of no return. Is it possible to move forward with a company without first patenting my idea? I have also found that I will need to discuss this with a potential buyer under a non-disclosure agreement. Will that give me adequate protection against the company if they decide to take the idea and cut me out? Thanks

Hi there,

I was watching a news report about the construction of several wind turbines off of the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. Several of the locals were questioned and their one complaint was not that the windmills were noisy, but that they were a visible eyesore. So my question is why are windmills painted bright white? Why not blue or maritime camouflage when they’re built off shore?

Hi.  I have a full bottle of 1864 wine.  The label says: Grand Cama De Lobos, produced and shipped by Blandy’s Madeiras-Solera 1864. It has never been opened.  I also have a wooden cask with a wooden cork in the top.  On the front is written GUIGNOLET- FANTAISIE. Can you tell me anything about these?

I work as a doorman in a restaurant/bar in California. I am paid an hourly rate. Recently all the employees were required to attend a mandatory staff meeting. We clocked in, the meeting lasted an hour, and we clocked out. I have been under the impression that if you are required to attend a meeting that lasts less than 3 hours, the employer is required to pay for the remainder of in time, up to 3 hours.   Is this true?

I am a new comer to beer brewing.  I started my 4th batch this week (a kit, Brewers Best English Pale Ale) and after 4 days I have not seen any bubbles in the airlock.  I am using a plastic bucket to ferment and have taken the lid off twice to try to reseal it.  There is a foamy mixture on top of the brew which makes it look like it is fermenting.  I have used this equipment for all my previous batches (3) and it worked before.  If there is a leak in the fermenter, will the brew still ferment properly?  Is there any way to check the brew to see if it fermented?

I have a bottle that I’ve found hanging around that I was wondering if I could get some info on.

Its a 750ml bottle of Masi Campofiorin Red wine dated 1981.  Very authentic looking bottle and its numbered #268.  Just curious on where it came from, could it still be ok?, and where do I find information on value.  Thanks in advance!

Is the number 48 a bad number for a home? I know 4 means death and 8 is auspicious but what does it mean when they are together? Thanks
