Beach Lake Bakery is family-owned and operated. In the late 1990s, co-founders and owners Brian and Lisa Woods started producing artisan breads out of the garage of their home in Beach Lake, PA. Their first customers were friends, at whose houses they would drop off a few loaves, and a local fish market. With the help of their son Ian, who assisted with production and deliveries, and their daughter Jamie, whose idea it was to build and run the bakery’s small retail store, the Woodses discovered a high demand for their European-style breads and traditional American pies and cookies. They sold the business in 2007, and it moved to Honesdale, PA. It was a twist of fate, when the bakery, formerly known as Beach Lake Bread, was forced to close its doors in August, 2011, and Brian and Lisa resumed ownership. They reopened it in March, 2012, as Beach Lake Bakery, at its original location in Beach Lake.
Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.

Taken at a model train show at in the old New York Central terminal in Buffalo, NY. A very impressive layout, especially for something portable.
Scale used in art is based on the angle to make something appear larger or smaller. I think this photo is a great example of it because the hands are closer making them look larger giving it a dream like quality. The photo is called, "Me and Tennessee" (I look this photo), and without the scale use in this picture the idea would not have fully been reached across.
This is the link (if you want to see it closer):
A tiny black lady beetle (present and visible on this plant), Rhyzobius lophanthae, is
highly effective in controlling the cycad scale and
should be the primary control strategy. | Read: www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/ip-23.pdf
Releasing the Concrete Canvas Tiny House (CFTH) Type 3 1:10 Scale Model from the suspension frame. The model was suspended upside down, because no inflation method that would be secure enough was tough of. Of course this applies to the Scale Model. The actual Concrete Canvas Outer Shell would be inflated by expanding PU insulation foam. The model was filled with 4 inflatable beach balls and hung upside down, so just in case the beach balls deflate, the final hardened structure would still be usable and resemble Type 3 CCTH.

It's always neat looking to the left and right during this climb and seeing the ground below at two different elevations.
This scaled quail, its partner, and six little chicks graced my yard one morning recently. Unfortunately, the chicks and partner scattered while I grabbed my camera, but this one stuck around for a photo shoot.
Scale - ♥ a weight watcher ♥
I recorded my weight in my notepad every morning and evening. The fluctuation of the number could stimulate my determination to lose weight.
More details in my blog.
The scaled quail (Callipepla squamata) habits the low lands of the sierra Maderas del Carmen. Most of the year, this species is seen in groups of several individuals, except during the breeding season when it is observed in family groups where a male and a female take care of the offspring.
