Mike Swatek - This is the story of our small family business.

As such stories go, it begins with a small family. Leslie and I have been married since 1985. We have a grown daughter and son whom we're very proud of. We make a great team.

Leslie was first a bookkeeper. After our first child was born in 1992, she learned how to manage our personal website and post photos of our kids for the family. When local businesses discovered there was a web designer in town—the first in Claremore, Oklahoma—her web design business was born. It was a perfect situation for a stay-at-home mom. She did this for 20 years, until the technology outpaced her interest in keeping up. Since her retirement, she's been very involved in volunteer activities in the community and looking after her parents.

I'm a semi-retired mechanical engineer. I've helped design storm drainage systems, offshore drilling rigs, industrial manipulator arms, rocket engines, and most recently electric submersible pumps for deep oil/water wells. Throughout my career, I've been heavily involved with quality functions and system design/troubleshooting.

In late 2014, when the deadly Ebola virus was killing thousands in Africa, I became concerned after learning some infected patients were being treated in nearby Dallas, Texas. I happened across an article about Sierra Leone approving colloidal silver as an official treatment after surprising success . That led to some research about colloidal silver. I learned about many non-monetary uses for silver going back thousands of years. Also, colloidal silver was discovered about a century ago and was the most widely used antimicrobial until the 1930's.

Further investigation found that very few "colloidal silver" products are the genuine article, having a significant concentration of silver nanoparticles suspended in pure water alone. Most are water with dissolved ionic silver, which usually reacts and becomes deactivated upon contact and thus has little or no persistent microbe killing ability. Other products use protein or polymers to accelerate the process and suspend more particles. This results in larger, less effective nanoparticles which are also largely isolated from their surroundings by the protein or polymer. The few good colloidal silver products I found were quite expensive, at least from my frugal perspective.

To become well-informed consumers of this product, I dug deeper. I learned about a questionable technology called "colloidal silver generators," which often seemed to do little more than produce silver ions with few (if any) of the far more desirable silver nanoparticles. I determined that if we wanted to produce real colloidal silver, first we'd have to develop a better manufacturing method.

In late 2014, we began creating the process and apparatus to make real colloidal silver we could use around our northeast Oklahoma homestead. Our manufacturing process soon advanced beyond anything else we knew of. I partially retired in mid-2016, limiting my work to part-time consulting, so I could allow more time to further improve our colloidal silver manufacturing method. We continued to refine the process over the next two years, ultimately producing over a hundred test lots. The resulting colloidal silver was as good or better than anything else available, in terms of quality—smaller in particle size and higher in concentration.

During the development, family and friends found additional uses for our colloidal silver, and they began encouraging us to sell it. In mid-2018, we decided to scale up the manufacturing process to support sales for household and cosmetic uses. Smart Colloidal Silver was born.

About that time, we developed processes to include silver in other cosmetic products at concentrations far exceeding anything else available. It was a natural fit. Our 150ppm Silver Lip Balms and 500ppm Silver Cream, joined the product line under our new company name, PPM Silver Cosmetics LLC.

Nearing the end of 2018, we launched our website and several sales channels. Friends are helping find new retail outlets. We're developing another unique, high ppm silver cosmetic product for release soon. It's all quite exciting for this retired couple as we write a new chapter in or lives and keep that young feeling alive. We hope you'll do your own research to learn about the many personal uses of silver and join us on this journey through the later years of our youth. Agorist.Market, PPMSilverCosmetics.com

2. Dispute Resolution Process (midfest.info)

Dispute Resolution Process
For Voluntaryist Gatherings

10 September 2022
rtf version of this document

INTRODUCTION
We don't need the state for anything. Put it out of your mind for the rest of this document. The following needs to be executed before the police have the opportunity to make any situation far worse.

A gathering's website may suggest voluntary usage of this dispute resolution process. People can bring copies to post, distribute and discuss, for any who missed the website notice. Being informed of this before it's needed will help avoid state involvement and allow a better outcome for all.

PREPARATION
After the gathering has begun, a panel of 3, 5 or 7 arbiters and a substitute may be selected by people familiar with such matters. The panel should understand the non-aggression principle, preferably with some adjudication skill. A calm character and reputation for fairness are also very important. As more people arrive, the arbitration panel may have additions or replacements. Too many in the panel causes dysfunctionality. This step helps to save time, if needed.

GATHER EVIDENCE
All witnesses, as soon as an incident happens, get photos, video and samples of evidence immediately. This is ONLY to be given to the dispute resolution panel at this time.

CONFIDENTIALITY
It's extremely important that evidence only be shared privately on a need to know basis. This is to avoid possible wrongful reputation damage which could result in a claim by the falsely accused.

STOP AND TRACK AGGRESSOR
If still aggressing, surround the perpetrator with as many people as possible. This is likely to deter them. If necessary, physically stop them without another aggression (proportionally violent defense of self and others from harm is not aggression).

People aware of the incident should keep track of the aggressor, so they can't disappear. Only use self defense when needed, without initiating aggression. Note: restraint of someone later found innocent would be aggression.

INITIATE ARBITRATION OR MEDIATION
Immediately notify the arbitration panel, if previously selected. If none, initiate the selection clause under PREPARATION above. Any with a personal bias in the case should be replaced.

The accused and victim are asked to choose their own arbiters to represent them on the panel. If they already have a functional arbitration agreement between them, that should take priority over this panel. If both arbiters can agree on a single third party arbiter, that 3-party panel should take priority over any selected by others.

The accused and victim should also be encouraged to try and reach a direct agreement with a mediator. Any agreement acceptable to both parties will end the more involved arbitration process.

DETERMINE RESPONSIBILITY
Evidence is presented to and discussed by the arbiters in a private forum. During deliberations, a way to introduce new information should be provided.

The arbiters will determine responsibility before any discussion of compensation.

If necessary at this point (not before), the panel may ask for the person found responsible to be restrained without physical harm.

PROPORTIONAL COMPENSATION
Proportional compensation from the perpetrator is determined by the panel.

Any compensation or actions from the perpetrator are completed by them. If necessary, individuals willing and able to do so may assist, using a minimum force.

PUBLICATION OF OUTCOME
The result of the arbitration should usually remain confidential. If appropriate, the panel may publish the outcome to the liberty festival community. This can effectively result in banishment for more severe aggressions.

MODIFICATIONS
This is provided as a guide for voluntaryist gatherings. The arbitors may modify the process as they agree amongst themselves.
