Abstract: A system and methods using applications for payment of goods and/or services based on verifying whether geographic information received from an electronic device with the app corresponds with geographic information from a registered location. A processing center executes a default action when the geographic information so corresponds, and in one embodiment, the default action is to complete the transaction.

Abstract: A hitch assembly removeably attachable to a vehicle hitch and extending away from the vehicle, comprising, in part, a lower platform, upper platform and locking platform. A pole is inserted through apertures in the upper and locking platforms and rests on the lower platform. The pole is adjusted to a substantially vertical position and locked in place with a locking assembly. A cooking surface may be suspended from the pole, and a heat source under the surface is used to heat and cook food. A handle is used to lift, turn or otherwise move the hot cooking surface.

Abstract: A method for milking animals, particularly domesticated dairy animals, and most particularly dairy cattle, that improves milk/food sanitation, labor and cost efficiency, environmental friendliness, and throughput, that uses a wet prep and minimizes both interactions with the animal being milked and delays between steps during which recontamination of teats can happen. The best method comprises the steps of preparing the milker's hands, priming the animal's teats, attaching a feeder tube to a milking machine to each teat, and completing the milking. (Therefore through the method we sanitize the milker's hands, cows teats and feeder tube all in one step.) By preparing the milker rather than the udder and teats, the method eliminates steps and delays, and reduces chances for infection, material usages, and complexity, that were extant in the prior art.

The best method comprises the steps of sanitizing the animal's teats, then without drying or removing the sanitizing composition priming the animal's teats, followed by attaching a feeder tube to a milking machine to each teat, and completing the milking.
