BreannaSuper Curl!These are by far the best! Highly recommend!posted Aug 10, 2012Link to this post
MisaWorks GreatThis is my first eyelash curler ever and did everything I expected from it at a low price i'm very happy with it

MlkateBetter Than Metal CurlersHad this curler for over a year, and been very happy with the results. I was happy with the plastic design as you never run the risk of the curler getting to hot for your skin (when you heat it with a blow dryer), also the way it's designed never any pinching since the top part is nice and wide. Overall very good, but need to use with heating if you want dramatic results.posted Mar 31, 2010Link to this post
StacieColoradoBreaks Extremely EasilyIve only had this curler for a couple of months and the plastic holding the top curling portion is completely broken. If you apply the amount of pressure needed to curl your lashes, beware, it will crack and break very easily. I will not purchase this product again.posted Nov 27, 2008Link to this post
ToniBreaks Easy.I thought it was the greatest thing when I first started using it, but within a month it broke with very little pressure on it. I thought using my blow dryer to heat it before use may have somehow weakened it but a 2nd one broke within 3 weeks of use. I dont recommend it at all.posted May 19, 2008Link to this post

PaulaDoesn't Curl Very WellI was very excited to purchase this "mini" eyelash curler. I used to have a similar one, but the plastic broke after a year or two, so Ive used only the full size, metal curlers since. However, the curl Ive gotten, even when using the blow dryer to heat the pad, isnt very good, and doesnt last very long. The few times I use this now, I usually use it and then follow up with my standard metal curler.posted Jul 17, 2006Link to this post
RachelPhiladelphia, PADurability Is An IssueIve owned two of these Tweezerman Super Curl Lash Curlers and after about 9 months of daily use, the plastic weakens and finally cracks. Not sure if that is the expected life-span of the product (which curls lashes beautifully, by the way)... I now use a metal curler for better durability.posted Mar 9, 2006Link to this post

Nice - 2/1/2015 1:02:10 PM Very refreshing. Nice tingly sensation in the morning and evening after showering. Pricing a little on the high side but bottle is large and appears that it will last a while.Very gentle - 10/11/2014 1:07:58 PM If you have sensitive skin particularly around the eye area like I do...you will likely be good with this balm..its very gentle and soaks in fast...does not leave skin sticky..and particularly good for colder months...also has no weird smell. Also for the money you get quite a decent amount of balm.Wasnt Expecting it to Work! - 9/21/2014 8:07:59 AM Astonished! loved the outcome. it shows clear reduction of fine-lines after 20 mins. it says 10 mins. but i had it on 20 mins just to be sure. and i cutted the edges of the fore-head gels since my forehead isnt that big and used the excess parts for my eyes. So yeah you can save money by buying this product and using the extra edges for the eyes instead of buying eye-gel and face gel. Over all i love this product! and purchasing some more!Soothes my skin, scent makes me happy - 5/30/2014 6:27:42 PM I tried a sample of this a couple years ago and as soon as I ran out, I missed using it and ordered more. The smell is somewhere between orange and grapefruit and is a nice way to wake up in the morning. I have combination skin that is becoming more dry as I approach 50, and this moisturizes well and doesn't cause break-outs or irritation. I find that it works best if I put it on immediately after I step out of the shower--while my skin is still damp. My 16-year-old son also uses it to calm both extreme dryness and acne. Great product!Amazing! - 5/28/2014 9:12:16 AM I have tried everything for my acne-prone, very sensitive, oily skin. I noticed an immediate reduction in breakouts and oil production after using this lotion, and have even received complements from others. I definitely recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin.Not for sensitive skin - 4/26/2014 3:31:14 PM I was surprised how much this irritated and burned my skin! I would not recommend this for anyone with sensitive skin and definitely not for anyone with rosacea.Really Works! - 2/18/2014 8:55:56 AM I had been getting Botox injections for about 6 years and was looking for something that would help with wrinkles but wouldn't give me that "frozen" look I get with Botox. (I"m 54 years old.) This was tested and rated high in a woman's magazine so I thought I'd give it a try. It really works! You need to give it a couple of weeks, but the more you use it, the better it gets. I've gone through an entire jar and I'm ordering more. Really helps forehead wrinkles without "freezing". The jar lasted about 4 months. Love it!Travel Buddy - 11/26/2013 3:24:19 PM I love this product. I already use their eye cream on a regular basis but I like this product when i travel. I keep them in the frig so they're nice in cool when i use them. I have oily skin but on a plane my skin just dies and becomes so dry and i get puffy. Definitely helps with the puffiness and smoothes out the fine lines... Since I don't use them on a weekly basis I can't say if they work long term but for a quick fix I definitely like them!Nice starter kit - 10/29/2013 5:55:57 AM I did not give a 5 star because I would have liked another product instead of a washcloth. Products are nice and seem to be doing a good job on my 57 year old face.Prelim findings - 9/20/2013 3:10:35 AM Have been using a few weeks & see an improvement; my skin feels softer & not as dull as before. I use one drop & some days its enough, others not so much. Has a milky appearance & water like texture. Its not thick but not runny either. My skin drinks this up...it doesn't sit on my skin. I wait a few minutes before applying the Quenching Lotion to make sure the serum has "dried." Its not sticky or tacky either. I like it so far. I can't speak to any wrinkle filling ability or claim because that's not my concern. I was looking for a serum to pair with my moisturizer & this works well. -

See our Q&A with Sarah Kugelman, President and Founder of skyn Iceland.
Whether it's the look and feel of your skin or your general health, stress is among the most insidious damaging agents. The skyn ICELAND products take on the ravages of stress at the dermatological level, constituting an innovative and comprehensive collection worthy of any skincare regime.
The brand is the brainchild of Sarah Kugelman, a beauty-industry veteran who suffered the physical degradations of unhealthy amounts of stress in the early 2000s and retreated to Iceland to recuperate. There, on that wild and strikingly scenic island in the North Atlantic, Kugelman began investigating the link between stress and skin issues as well as the natural skincare ingredients native to the remote country. Marrying the potential of Iceland-sourced nutrients with top-of-the-line chemistry and formal research into stress and physiology, Kugelman founded the first skincare company specially dedicated to the dermatological impacts of stress: skyn ICELAND.
The skyn ICELAND products range from facial cleansers and masks to skin peels and age-defying formulations. Among the special ingredients employed is glacial freshwater from Iceland, renowned for its pristine quality partly stemming from the natural filtration it undergoes through volcanic bedrock. Also utilized are a variety of Icelandic plants--from Arctic cranberry to butterfly bush--as well as moss and kelp, organisms richly stocked with nutrients due to the condensed growing season and substantial rigors of Iceland's climate.
Over time, stress begins to show up plainly on your face in the form of wrinkles, shadowy eyes, and other symptoms of premature aging. Look to the skyn ICELAND lineup for products specifically prepared to redress some of these unwanted features by giving your skin a nourishing boost.

that's what its all about - right?
Re: ACF Strava Clubis it bad that both my KOMs are for segments I've created?
Re: ACF Strava Club
Yes! Actually, no it's okay as long as others can ride the KOM area. I was KOM on a segment I made, as I was the only one who had ridden that path. You could always prop open the front and back door of your house, ride your bike through, and make that a segment.
Re: ACF Strava Club
lol. other have ridden them. so that's ok then. One is 1600kms away and I only have it my 1 second....
Re: ACF Strava ClubNot at all, a couple of mine have only been ridden by less than 10 ppl. I use them as weekly effort checks, to gauge fatigue.
I do miss the way Strava sorted them, used to be by number of times ridden not date.
Re: ACF Strava Club
you live near me dimma - stay away from the KOM of mine - you've got enough (please?)
Re: ACF Strava ClubAt least you've ridden them, I see plenty of KOMs where the KOM is clearly in a car or had a GPS failure but didn't bother to flag their ride.
Re: ACF Strava Club
flag them for them. i do!

dunno - she's not a pro rider? this is on top of the running and swimming she does!
Re: ACF Strava Club
wiki says she is retired, hence no longer professional maybe?
Re: ACF Strava ClubAnd no longer riding?... Last ride in may.
Re: ACF Strava ClubMy missus got a bonus at work and bought me a Garmin Edge 500 (she's a keeper!)..... so as well as playing with the new toy I just upgraded to strava premium for the month to see whether its worth it or not.
Loving the weight class filtering - I'm the fastest fattie on one of my segments .... is that an achievement? If so I think fat cycling could be my thing!

Re: ACF Strava ClubJust joined, from 2 rides i think i have a 2nd and a 7th, and on one segment i managed to sneak in ahead of 2 local pros and my arch nemesis .
Is it possible to upload directly to strava from a bryton? And is it possible to get files off said bryton without brytonbridge? (work computer won't let me install it). When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: ACF Strava Club
Let us know what you think of strava premium. I tried a free month trial a little while ago, and didn't seem to think at the time that there was much value. Cheers, Simon. Phil Liggett, TdF 2011, Alpe-d'Huez: "I reckon tonight in hindsight he may have won the Tour de France tomorrow."
Re: ACF Strava Club
Edit. Just reread your post and you do need Bryton Bridge. Go to My data, then My Collection. This should now show you a list of your rides. Click in the check box for each ride and click on the Strava button. You will then be prompted for your Strava user name and password. You activities will now be in Strava. In the morning, we RIDE.
Re: ACF Strava ClubI am nearly always at the top of my weight class on strava... that is not good enough reason for me to pay for an upgrade. After all I never actually race anyone for real in my weight class.
If they made it cheaper like $10 a year then I am sure they would get 10 times more people signing on... $59 a year is a lot for an upgrade that doesn't really tell you much more. I also don't like the new security settings... can't check out the top riders in my area any more without following them . The search segment also needs an option of searching " by number of times ridden " ... I would like to find the most popular sections!.
Re: ACF Strava Club
Thanks for that, sounds easier than what i was doing (saving rides to my computer as gpx then uploading to strava), but i was hoping i could plug in the bryton, open the strava website and take them directly off the gps. My expectation was that it would behave like a flash drive, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I should get used to it though.

Re: ACF Strava Club
Loch there's probably a pretty simple script that would do that for you...
Re: ACF Strava ClubWhat's my doctor got to do with it?

Re: ACF Strava Club
Stick their strava athlete number into veloviewer and check out their rides that way...not saying I have done it Makes it very easy to view their rides then via strava.
Re: ACF Strava Club
Well .. after one training ride I've come to the conclusion strava premium isn't worth it.... I'll downgrade at the end of the month. I'm doing base training at the moment and went out for a tempo ride - so aiming to sit primarily in zone 3 .....get back... load to strava and click on analysis ...... and the HR Zones are way off. Worst still I can't manually set the zones to what they should be for me. I have set my zones based on a threshold test and the default zones strava calculates from HRmax are way off. Useless to me basically. The HR zone analysis was the key reason I tried premium unfortunately. The suffer score seems to be a gimick, more than a useful training metric and the filtered boards aren't enough to justify paying premium. I have a mac so at the moment for tracking my training I'm trialling rubitrack, Ascent, Garmin Connect and Strava. The way it is shaping up is I will most likely pay the 40AUD for Ascent (It has the key info of telling me how much time I've spent in each HR zone on a ride) and I'll use strava for tracking my frequency of riding and the milage I'm putting on my bike(s). The simplicity of the strava Training Calendar and Activity Summary will keep me using strava freemium but I'll do my more detailed analysis of individual rides in Ascent.
Re: ACF Strava ClubStrava is just a facebook for cyclists... nothing more.

Nonprofit organization
A nonprofit organization (NPO, also known as a non-business entity[1]) is an organization that uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's directors (or equivalents) as profit or dividends. This is known as the distribution constraint.[2] The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications, particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.
The nonprofit landscape is highly varied, although many people have come to associate NPOs with charitable organisations. Although charities do comprise an often high profile or visible aspect of the sector, there are many other types of nonprofits. Overall, they tend to be either member-serving or community-serving. Member-serving organisations include mutual societies, cooperatives, trade unions, credit unions, industry associations, sports clubs, retired serviceman's clubs and peak bodies – organisations that benefit a particular group of people – the members of the organisation. Typically, community-serving organisations are focused on providing services to the community in general, either globally or locally: organisations delivering human services programs or projects, aid and development programs, medical research, education and health services, and so on. It could be argued many nonprofits sit across both camps, at least in terms of the impact they make.[3] For example, the grassroots support group that provides a lifeline to those with a particular condition or disease could be deemed to be serving both its members (by directly supporting them) and the broader community (through the provision of a helping service for fellow citizens).
Many NPOs use the model of a double bottom line in that furthering their cause is more important than making a profit, though both are needed to ensure the organisation's sustainability.[4][5]
Although NPOs are permitted to generate surplus revenues, they must be retained by the organization for its self-preservation, expansion, or plans.[6] NPOs have controlling members or a board of directors. Many have paid staff including management, whereas others employ unpaid volunteers and even executives who work with or without compensation (occasionally nominal).[7] In some countries, where there is a token fee, in general it is used to meet legal requirements for establishing a contract between the executive and the organization.
Designation as a nonprofit does not mean that the organization does not intend to make a profit, but rather that the organization has no 'owners' and that the funds realized in the operation of the organization will not be used to benefit any owners. The extent to which an NPO can generate surplus revenues may be constrained or use of surplus revenues may be restricted.
Objectives and goals[edit]
Some NPOs may also be a charity or service organization; they may be organized as a nonprofit corporation or as a trust, a cooperative, or they exist informally. A very similar type of organization termed a supporting organization operates like a foundation, but they are more complicated to administer, hold more favorable tax status and are restricted in the public charities they support. Their goal is not to be successful in terms of wealth, but in terms of giving value to the groups of people they administer to.[8]
NPOs have a wide diversity of structures and purposes. For legal classification, there are, nevertheless, some elements of importance:
- Management provisions.
- Accountability and auditing provisions.
- Provisory for the amendment of the statutes or articles of incorporation.
- Provisions for the dissolution of the entity.
- Tax statuses of corporate and private donors.
- Tax status of the founders.
Some of the above must be (in most jurisdictions in the USA at least), expressed in the organisation's charter of establishment or constitution. Others may be provided by the supervising authority at each particular jurisdiction.
While affiliations will not affect a legal status, they may be taken into consideration by legal proceedings as an indication of purpose.
Most countries have laws which regulate the establishment and management of NPOs, and which require compliance with corporate governance regimes. Most larger organizations are required to publish their financial reports detailing their income and expenditure publicly.
In many aspects they are similar to corporate business entities though there are often significant differences. Both not-for-profit and for-profit corporate entities must have board members, steering committee members, or trustees who owe the organization a fiduciary duty of loyalty and trust. A notable exception to this involves churches, which are often not required to disclose finances to anyone, including church members.
Formation and structure[edit]
In the United States, nonprofit organizations are formed by filing bylaws and/or articles of incorporation in the state in which they expect to operate. The act of incorporating creates a legal entity enabling the organization to be treated as a distinct body (corporation) by law and to enter into business dealings, form contracts, and own property as individuals or for-profit corporations can.
Nonprofits can have members but many do not. The nonprofit may also be a trust or association of members. The organization may be controlled by its members who elect the Board of Directors, Board of Governors or Board of Trustees. A nonprofit may have a delegate structure to allow for the representation of groups or corporations as members. Alternatively, it may be a non-membership organization and the board of directors may elect its own successors.
The two major types of nonprofit organization are membership and board-only. A membership organization elects the board and has regular meetings and the power to amend the bylaws. A board-only organization typically has a self-selected board, and a membership whose powers are limited to those delegated to it by the board. A board-only organization's bylaws may even state that the organization does not have any membership, although the organization's literature may refer to its donors or service recipients as "members"; examples of such organizations are Fairvote[9][10] and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.[11] The Model Nonprofit Corporation Act imposes many complexities and requirements on membership decision-making.[12] Accordingly, many organizations, such as Wikimedia,[13] have formed board-only structures. The National Association of Parliamentarians has generated concerns about the implications of this trend for the future of openness, accountability, and understanding of public concerns in nonprofit organizations. Specifically, they note that nonprofit organizations, unlike business corporations, are not subject to market discipline for products and shareholder discipline of their capital; therefore, without membership control of major decisions such as election of the board, there are few inherent safeguards against abuse.[14][15] A rebuttal to this might be that as nonprofit organizations grow and seek larger donations, the degree of scrutiny increases, including expectations of audited financial statements.[16] A further rebuttal might be that NPOs are constrained, by their choice of legal structure, from financial benefit as far as distribution of profit to its members/directors is concerned.
Tax exemption[edit]
In many countries, nonprofits may apply for tax exempt status, so that the organization itself may be exempt from income tax and other taxes. In the United States, to be exempt from federal income taxes the organization must meet the requirements set forth by the Internal Revenue Service.[17]
In Australia, nonprofit organisations include trade unions, charitable entities, co-operatives, universities and hospitals, mutual societies, grass-root and support groups, political parties, religious groups, incorporated associations, not-for-profit companies, trusts and more. Furthermore, they operate across a multitude of domains and industries, from health, employment, disability and other human services to local sporting clubs, credit unions and research institutes.[18] A nonprofit organisation in Australia can choose from a number of legal forms depending on the needs and activities of the organisation: co-operative, company limited by guarantee, unincorporated association, incorporated association (by the Associations Incorporation Act 1985) or incorporated association or council (by the Commonwealth Aboriginal Councils and Associations Act 1976).[19] From an academic perspective, social enterprise is for the most part considered a sub-set of the nonprofit sector as typically they too are concerned with a purpose relating to a public good, however these are not bound to adhere to a nonprofit legal structure and many incorporate and operate as for-profit entities.
In Australia, nonprofit organisations are primarily established in one of three ways: companies limited by guarantee, trusts and incorporated associations. However, the incorporated association form is typically used by organisations intending to operate only within one Australian state jurisdiction. Nonprofit organisations seeking to establish a presence across Australia typically consider incorporating as a company or as a trust.[20]
By Belgian law, there are several kinds of nonprofit organisations:
- Vereniging zonder winstoogmerk (Dutch, abbreviated vzw), Vereinigung ohne Gewinnerzielungsabsicht (German) or Association sans but lucratif (French, abbreviated asbl).
- Internationale vereniging zonder winstoogmerk (Dutch, often abbreviated ivzw) or Association internationale sans but lucratif (French; often abbreviated aisbl) for international nonprofit organisations.
- Stichting van openbaar nut (Dutch, abbreviated son) or Fondation d'utilités publique (French, abbreviated fup).
These three kinds of nonprofit organisations are in contrast to a fourth:
- Feitelijke vereniging (Dutch language) or Association de fait (French language) an informal organization, often started for a short-term project, or managed alongside another NPO which does not have any status in law, so cannot purchase property etc.(association sans personnalité morale).
Canada allows nonprofits to be incorporated or unincorporated. Nonprofits may incorporate either federally, under Part II of the Canada Business Corporations Act or under provincial legislation. Many of the governing Acts for Canadian nonprofits date to the early 1900s, meaning that nonprofit legislation has not kept pace with legislation that governs for-profit corporations; particularly with regards to corporate governance. Federal, and in some provinces (such as Ontario), incorporation is by way of Letters Patent, and any change to the Letters Patent (even a simple name change) requires formal approval by the appropriate government, as do by-law changes. Other provinces (such as Alberta) permit incorporation as of right, by the filing of Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Association.
During 2009, the federal government enacted new legislation repealing the Canada Corporations Act, Part II - the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act. This Act was last amended on 10 October 2011 and the act was current till 4 March 2013.[21] It allows for incorporation as of right, by Articles of Incorporation; does away with the ultra vires doctrine for nonprofits; establishes them as legal persons; and substantially updates the governance provisions for nonprofits. Ontario also overhauled its legislation, adopting the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act during 2010; pending the outcome of an anticipated election during October 2011,[dated info] the new Act is expected to be in effect as of 1 July 2013.
Canada also permits a variety of charities (including public and private foundations). Charitable status is granted by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) upon application by a nonprofit; charities are allowed to issue income tax receipts to donors, must spend a certain percentage of their assets (including cash, investments and fixed assets) and file annual reports in order to maintain their charitable status. In determining whether an organization can become a charity, CRA applies a common law test to its stated objects and activities. These must be:
- The relief of poverty
- The advancement of education;
- The advancement of religion; or
- certain other purposes that benefit the community in a way the courts have said is charitable[22]
Charities are not permitted to engage in partisan political activity; doing so may result in the revocation of charitable status. However, a charity can carry out a small number of political activities that are non-partisan, help further the charities purposes, and subordinate to the charity's charitable purposes.[23]
In France, nonprofits are called associations. They are based on a law enacted 1 July 1901. As a consequence, the nonprofits are also called association loi 1901.
A nonprofit can be created by 2 people in order to accomplish a common goal. The association can have industrial and/or commercial activities but the members cannot get any profit from these activities. Thereby, worker's unions and political parties can be organised from this law.
In 2008, the national statistic institute (INSEE) counted more than 1 million of these associations in the country, and about 16 million people older than 16 are members of a nonprofit in France (a third or the population). The nonprofits employ 1.6 million people and 8 million are volunteers for them.[24]
This law is also relevant in a many former French colonies, particularly in Africa.
Hong Kong[edit]
The Hong Kong Company Registry provides a memorandum of procedure for applying to Registrar of Companies for a Licence under Section 21 of the Companies Ordinance (Cap.32) for a limited company for the purpose of promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity, or any other useful object.[25][26]
In India, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are the most common type of societal institutions that do not have commercial interests. However, they are not the only category of such non-commercial organisations which can gain official recognition. For example, memorial trusts, which honour renowned individuals through social work, may not be considered as non-governmental organisations.[27]
They can be registered in four ways:
- Trust
- Society
- Section-25 Company (Section 8 as per the new Companies Act, 2013)
- Special Licencing
- Schools
Registration can be done either with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) or the Registrar of Societies (RoS).
The following laws or Constitutional Articles of the Republic of India are relevant to the NGOs:
- Articles 19(1)(c) and 30 of the Constitution of India
- Income Tax Act, 1961
- Public Trusts Acts of various states
- Societies Registration Act, 1860
- Section 25 of the Indian Companies Act, 1956
- Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 1976
The Irish Nonprofits Database was created by Irish Nonprofits Knowledge Exchange (INKEx) to act as a repository for regulatory and voluntarily disclosed information about Irish public benefit nonprofits. The database lists more than 10,000 nonprofit organisations in Ireland. INKEx is currently looking for government funding to continue to provide the service and maintain the accuracy of the database.
In Japan, an NPO is any citizen's group that serves the public interest and does not produce a profit for its members. NPOs are given corporate status to assist them in conducting business transactions. As of February 2011, there were 41,600 NPOs in Japan. Two hundred of NPOs were given tax-deductible status by the government which meant that only contributions to those organization were tax deductible for the contributors.[28]
Russian law contains many legal forms of NCOs (non-commercial organizations), resulting in a complex and often contradictory regulatory framework. The primary requirements are that NCOs, whatever their type, do not have the generation of profit as their primary objective and do not distribute any such profit among their participants (Article 50(1), Civil Code). Most commonly there are five forms of NCOs:
- Public associations - A public association is the form most comparable to an "association" as used in international parlance. A public association is a membership-based organization of individuals who associate on the basis of common interests and goals stipulated in the organization's charter.
- Foundations - Foundations are property-based, non-membership organizations created by individuals and/or legal persons to pursue social, charitable, cultural, educational, or other public benefit goals.
- Institutions - The institution (uchrezhdeniye) is a form that exists in Russia and several other countries of the Former Soviet Union. Like foundations, institutions do not have members. Unlike foundations, however, institutions do not acquire property rights in the property conveyed to them (Article 120, Civil Code, and Article 20, NCO Law). Moreover, the founders are liable for any obligations of the institution that it cannot meet on its own.
- Non-commercial partnerships - A non-commercial partnership (NP) (Article 8, NCO Law) is a membership organization pursuing activities for the mutual benefit of members. Therefore, assets which have been transferred to an NP as donations can be used for purposes other than those having public benefit.
- Autonomous non-commercial organizations - An autonomous non-commercial organization (ANO) (Article 10, NCO Law) is a non-membership organization undertaking services in the field of education, social policy, culture, etc., which in practice often generates income by providing its services for a fee.[29]
South Africa[edit]
In South Africa, charities issue a tax certificate when requested by donors which can be used as a tax deduction by the donor.[30] Non Profit Organisations are registered under the Non Profit Organisation Act. Trusts are registered by the Master of the High Court. Section 21 Companies are registered under the Company's Act. All are classified as Voluntary Organisations and all must be registered with the South Africa Revenue Services "SARS".[citation needed]
United Kingdom[edit]
This section is outdated. (January 2014) |
In the UK, many nonprofit companies are incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. This means that the company does not have shares or shareholders, but it has the benefits of corporate status. This includes limited liability for its members and being able to enter into contracts and purchase property in its own name. The profits of the company (also referred to as the trading surplus) must be invested in achieving these goals and not distributed to the company's members.[31]
Since the Companies Act 2006, nonprofit companies may be formed as a Community Interest Company (CIC). These are forms of company limited by guarantee or company limited by shares but with special conditions and are intended specifically to ensure that the profits and assets of the company are used for the public good, even when managed for (limited) profit.[32]
A charity is a nonprofit organisation that meets stricter criteria regarding its purpose and the method in which it makes decisions and reports its finances.[33] For example, a charity is generally not allowed to pay its Trustees. In England and Wales, charities may be registered with the Charity Commission.[34] In Scotland, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator serves the same function. Other organizations which are classified as nonprofit organizations elsewhere, such as trade unions, are subject to separate regulations, and are not regarded as "charities" in the technical sense.
United States[edit]
- For a United States analysis of this issue, see 501(c) and Charitable organization (United States).
After a nonprofit organization has been formed at the state level, the organization may seek recognition of tax exempt status with respect to U.S. federal income tax. That is done typically by applying to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), although statutory exemptions exist for limited types of nonprofit organizations. The IRS, after reviewing the application to ensure the organization meets the conditions to be recognized as a tax exempt organization (such as the purpose, limitations on spending, and internal safeguards for a charity), may issue an authorization letter to the nonprofit granting it tax exempt status for income tax payment, filing, and deductibility purposes. The exemption does not apply to other Federal taxes such as employment taxes. Additionally, a tax-exempt organization must pay federal tax on income that is unrelated to their exempt purpose.[35] Failure to maintain operations in conformity to the laws may result in an organization losing its tax exempt status.
Individual states and localities offer nonprofits exemptions from other taxes such as sales tax or property tax. Federal tax-exempt status does not guarantee exemption from state and local taxes, and vice versa. These exemptions generally have separate applications and their requirements may differ from the IRS requirements. Furthermore, even a tax exempt organization may be required to file annual financial reports (IRS Form 990) at the state and federal level. A tax exempt organization's 990 forms are required to be made available for public scrutiny. An example of nonprofit organization in the US is Project Vote Smart.
Problems experienced by NPOs[edit]
Capacity building is an ongoing problem experienced by NPOs for a number of reasons. Most rely on external funding (government funds, grants from charitable foundations, direct donations) to maintain their operations and changes in these sources of revenue may influence the reliability or predictability with which the organization can hire and retain staff, sustain facilities, create programs, or maintain tax-exempt status. For example, a university that sells research to for-profit companies may have tax exemption problems. In addition, unreliable funding, long hours and low pay can result in employee retention problems. During 2009, the US government acknowledged this critical need by the inclusion of the Nonprofit Capacity Building Program in the Serve America Act. Further efforts to quantify the scope of the sector and propose policy solutions for community benefit were included in the Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act, proposed during 2010.
Many nonprofit organizations find it difficult to create consistent messaging that resonates with their various stakeholders as marketing budgets are minimal or nonexistent. Marketing is in many cases a taboo word that NPOs or others don't like to associate with such community benefit organizations. There are strategic ways in which nonprofits can leverage their access to various community stakeholders to get their name and cause recognized by the public, but it is imperative to have an outreach strategy which includes a financial plan to execute that outreach/marketing strategy, particularly if the organization has plans to rebrand or expand their initiaives.
Founder's syndrome is an issue organizations face as they grow. Dynamic founders with a strong vision of how to operate the project try to retain control of the organization, even as new employees or volunteers want to expand the project's scope or change policy.
Resource mismanagement is a particular problem with NPOs because the employees are not accountable to anybody with a direct stake in the organization. For example, an employee may start a new program without disclosing its complete liabilities. The employee may be rewarded for improving the NPO's reputation, making other employees happy, and attracting new donors. Liabilities promised on the full faith and credit of the organization but not recorded anywhere constitute accounting fraud. But even indirect liabilities negatively affect the financial sustainability of the NPO, and the NPO will have financial problems unless strict controls are instated.[36] Some commentators have also argued that receiving significant funding from large for-profit corporations can ultimately alter the NPO's functions.[37][38][39]
Competition for employees with the public and private sector is another problem that Nonprofit organizations will inevitably face, particularly for management positions. There are reports of major talent shortages in the nonprofit sector today regarding newly graduated workers,[40] and NPOs have for too long relegated hiring to a secondary priority,[41] which could be why they find themselves in the position many do. While many established NPO's are well-funded and comparative to their public sector competetitors, many more are independent and must be creative with which incentives they use to attract and maintain vibrant personalities. The initial interest for many is the wage and benefits package, though many who have been questioned after leaving an NPO have reported that it was stressful work environments and implacable work that drove them away.[42]
Public and private sector employment has, for the most part, been able to offer more for their employees than most nonprofit agencies throughout history. Either in the form of higher wages, more comprehensive benefit packages, or less tedious work, the public and private sector has enjoyed an advantage in attracting employees over NPOs. Traditionally, the NPO has attracted mission-driven individuals who want to assist their chosen cause. Compounding the issue is that some NPOs do not operate in a manner similar to most businesses, or only seasonally. This leads many young and driven employees to forego NPOs in favor of more stable employment. Today however, Nonprofit organizations are adopting methods used by their competitors and finding new means to retain their employees and attract the best of the newly minted workforce.[43]
It has been mentioned that most nonprofits will never be able to match the pay of the private sector[44] and therefore should focus their attention on benefits packages, incentives and implementing pleasurable work environments. Pleasurable work conditions are ranked as being more preferable than a high salary and implacable work.[45] NPOs are encouraged to pay as much as they are able, and offer a low stress work environment that the employee can associate him or herself positively with. Other incentives that should be implemented are generous vacation allowances or flexible work hours.[46]
Articles of association (examples)[edit]
In the United States, two of the wealthiest nonprofit organizations are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has an endowment of US$38 billion,[47] and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute originally funded by Hughes Aircraft[48] prior to divestiture, which has an endowment of approximately $14.8 billion. Outside the United States, another large NPO is the British Wellcome Trust, which is a "charity" by British usage. See: List of wealthiest foundations. Note that this assessment excludes universities, at least a few of which have assets in the tens of billions of dollars. For example; List of U.S. colleges and universities by endowment.
Measuring an NPO by its monetary size has obvious limitations, as the power and significance of NPOs are defined by more qualitative measurements such as effectiveness at performing charitable missions.
Some NPOs which are particularly well known, often for the charitable or social nature of their activities performed during a long period of time, include Amnesty International, Oxfam, Rotary International, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Nourishing USA, DEMIRA Deutsche Minenräumer (German Mine Clearers), FIDH International Federation for Human Rights, Goodwill Industries, United Way, ACORN (now defunct), Habitat for Humanity, Family Promise, Teach For America, the Red Cross and Red Crescent organizations, UNESCO, IEEE, INCOSE, World Wide Fund for Nature, Heifer International, Translators Without Borders and SOS Children's Villages.
However, there are also millions of smaller NPOs that provide social services and relief efforts to people throughout the world. There are more than 1.6 million NPOs in the United States alone, and millions more informal, community-based entities, which Frumkin and others consider part of the nonprofit sector.[49]
There are also examples, for instance in Ireland of NGO umbrella organisations bringing about a degree of self-regulation in the NGO sector.
Other information[edit]
Many NPOs often use the .org or .us (or the CCTLD of their respective country) or .edu top-level domain (TLD) when selecting a domain name to differentiate themselves from more commercial entities which typically use the .com space.
In the traditional domain noted in RFC 1591, .org is for "organizations that didn't fit anywhere else" in the naming system, which implies that it is the proper category for non-commercial organizations if they are not governmental, educational, or one of the other types with a specific TLD. It is not designated specifically for charitable organizations or any specific organizational or tax-law status, however; it encompasses anything that is not classifiable as another category. Currently, no restrictions are enforced on registration of .com or .org, so one can find organizations of all sorts in either of these domains, as well as other top-level domains including newer, more specific ones which may apply to particular sorts of organizations such as .museum for museums or .coop for cooperatives. Organizations might also register by the appropriate country code top-level domain for their country.
Instead of being defined by "non" words, some organizations are suggesting new, positive-sounding terminology to describe the sector. The term "civil society organization" (CSO) has been used by a growing number of organizations, such as the Center for the Study of Global Governance.[50] The term "citizen sector organization" (CSO) has also been advocated to describe the sector – as one of citizens, for citizens – by organizations such as Ashoka: Innovators for the Public.[51] A more broadly applicable term, "Social Benefit Organization" (SBO) has been advocated for by organizations such as MiniDonations.[52] Advocates argue that these terms describe the sector in its own terms, without relying on terminology used for the government or business sectors. However, use of terminology by a nonprofit of self-descriptive language that is not legally compliant risks confusing the public about nonprofit abilities, capabilities and limitations.[53]
In some Spanish-language jurisdictions, nonprofit organizations are called "civil associations".

Hi, all -
I just picked up the (new?) Revell 1/144-scale Type VIID U-boat kit. Looks nice in the box, but then again I'm not normally a submarine kinda modeler. Questions:
1) Does anyone have any general comments about this kit, or know of any reviews?
2) What are the pros/cons of adding railings? In other words, when were railings set up, and when were they not? I can't really see putting up railings when on patrol and a crash dive may be called for at any time, but am interested in others' thoughts.
3) What about drilling out the holes on the hull side? Again, no submariner be I, but I seem to recall reading somewhere about a "false hull" that would be visible behind the holes if they were drilled out. That would call for some thinning and some plasticard work.
Any help or references will be appreciated!

Coal ash — the residue left over after coal is burned to produce electricity — contains varying amounts of carcinogenic and toxic metals such as arsenic, barium and lead. Kentucky produces about 9 million tons a year of the waste, which is stored in ponds and landfills.

Look around on the weekend at older larger men who think they are 'hip' in stonewash jeans that pull them up over there protruding stomach... you will be sure to find a Mamel Toe. Generally seen hanging out with his good mate Harry High Pants

A mamel toe is the equivalence of a camel toe on a female but for a man. A man package defined by tight crotch pant
Did you see the mamel toe on that guy?
5 ביולי, 2014
When a male has a wedge in the front of his pants which greatly accentuates and separates his genitalia. Also, the male version of camel toe.
You're walking down the street and your friend says, "Whoa check out the mamel toe on that guy in the acid washed jeans!"

So the other day, after a rather complicated and slightly stressful two-and-a half hour surgery, we were just getting underway to our next appointment when we drove past a rather large park in Garden Grove.
In the middle of this park there is a very large, flat, grassy area. Now, a heavy downpour had just stopped so this grassy area was pretty well flooded and actually looked like a decent sized pond.
In fact, if I weren't familiar with this particular park from previous visits, I might have thought that it was a pond and would have excitedly added it to my list of places to explore as potential urban fishing spots.
Just as I caught this little trick of weather in the corner of my eye, a rickety, dented and rusting gardener's truck chugged out of a side street in front of me and forced me to focus on the task and challenge of bringing an eight-ton rolling hospital to an abrupt slow down on a partially flooded and rain slick road,
"What is that guy doing?" My wife asked but without the same hint of malice that I was harboring for Mr. Gardener at that moment.
"Attempting suicide." I shot back.
"No, over there." She said while pointing toward the park, apparently unflustered by our near brush with catastrophe. (That partially explains why she is such a good surgeon — she's unflappable.)
Secure that we would not have a 1972 Chevy pick-up truck as a new hood ornament, I glanced over to where she was pointing and saw a man spey casting on the same little psuedo-pond that I had been admiring just seconds ago.
"Oh, that. He's spey casting." I replied. "And from the looks of it he's got a Mirage reel from Orvis…"
"What's that? How can you tell all that from 100 feet away?"
I paused.
Gifts like that don't just get handed out every day: My wife was asking ME to tell her about spey casting and equipment…
(as they say on Facebook; OMG!)
… Long story, short. That flung open wide the door for a whole discussion (OK let's be honest – pontificating) on the art of spey casting and perhaps even allowed for the hint of a seed to be planted regarding potential upcoming birthday gifts and such.
Ah, I love this addiction called urban fly-fishin'.

The Diamondback Trace Sport is capable of handling varied terrain and in supreme comfort.The Trace Sport features a 6061-T6 Butted Aluminum Dual Sport Frame with formed top and down tubes, forged drop outs, and an integrated chainstay disc brake mount.

a pie made of unborn animal fetus. Usually goat or sheep.

An Anglo-Indian dish consisting mainly of animal fetus usually from a goat of sheep. This dish is widely considered shameful, and disgusting by many. Mainly Anglo-Indians prepare this dish since there culture is based off of not having strict traditions, or rules. Many find it wrong to eat a fetus because it hasn't been born. Street markets in India do sell Cootie Pie, but usually secretly, or very early in the morning. The dish is slowly dying, and will soon disappear.
My grandmother prepared Cootie Pie for dinner.

Tentative farm workers deal in immigration talks
Wednesday - 4/10/2013, 9:32am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A tentative deal has been reached between agriculture workers and growers, a key senator said Tuesday, smoothing the way for a landmark immigration bill to be released within a week.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who's taken the lead on negotiating a resolution to the agriculture issue, didn't provide details, and said growers had yet to sign off on the agreement. The farm workers union has been at odds with the agriculture industry over worker wages and how many visas should be offered in a new program to bring agriculture workers to the U.S.
But Feinstein said she's hoping for resolution in the next day or two.
"There's a tentative agreement on a number of things, and we're waiting to see if it can get wrapped up," Feinstein said in a brief interview at the Capitol.
"I'm very hopeful. The train is leaving the station. We need a bill."
The development comes as a bipartisan group of senators hurries to finish legislation aimed at securing the border and putting 11 million immigrants here illegally on a path to citizenship, while also allowing tens of thousands of high- and low-skilled foreign workers into the U.S. on new visa programs. The agriculture dispute was the most prominent of a handful of unresolved issues. There's also still some debate over plans to boost visas for high-tech workers.
The group of four Republican and four Democratic senators has been hoping to release the landmark immigration bill this week, possibly as early as Thursday. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a leader of the group, said Tuesday that this week remains the goal. But it also looked possible it could slip into next week.
Senators in the immigration group met Tuesday with Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who agreed to hold a hearing April 17 on the legislation, Senate aides said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deliberations were confidential.
That's something Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has been calling for in response to pressure from conservatives who argue the bill is being pushed too fast without enough time for debate. Given Judiciary Committee procedures that allow Republicans to push for extra time to review legislation, the committee could begin to vote on and amend the bill the week of May 6, an aide said.
"The Judiciary Committee must have plenty of time to debate and improve the bipartisan group's proposal, so it's good that senators and the public will have weeks to study this proposal," Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said.
At least 50 percent and as much as 70 percent or 80 percent of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers are here illegally, according to labor and industry estimates. Growers say they need a better way to hire labor legally, and advocates say workers can be exploited and need better protections and a way to earn permanent residence.
Senators plan to offer a speeded-up pathway to citizenship to farm workers already in the country illegally who've worked in the industry for at least two years. In addition they're seeking to create a new visa program to bring foreign agriculture workers to the U.S. But wages and visa caps have been sticking points, just as they were for a separate low-skilled worker program that was resolved recently with a deal between the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO.
After negotiations between the United Farm Workers and agriculture interests, including the Western Growers Association, stalled in recent weeks, the four senators working on the issue -- Feinstein, Rubio, Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah -- developed a framework that would ultimately call for the agriculture secretary to set visa levels and wages, according to officials involved in the talks.
But the uncertainty of that structure sparked concern on both sides, and talks between growers and agriculture reopened. There now have been numbers set for wages and where to cap visa levels that the United Farm Workers has agreed to, officials said, although details weren't immediately available Tuesday. But growers emphasized they had yet to sign off.
"We are working diligently on the final details on the important details of the wage and cap and are hopeful, but have not agreed to anything," said Kristi Boswell, director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
Even in absence of a formal OK from the growers side, Feinstein suggested that the senators were satisfied and would be moving forward with what they've settled on.
"We hope we can get their acquiescence and support, otherwise we just need to proceed ahead," she said.
