Selling a business often comes after many years of hard work, which is why it can be a difficult, emotional and time-consuming task. It is not something that many managers or owners do more than once, you have to get it right first time. This guide covers:
For those who sell a business out of choice rather than necessity, a common mistake is to sell too early. Spend time building up stability and profitability (see 3).
Choose advisers who specialise in selling businesses.
Get key items of advice confirmed in writing.
Showing your business in the best light is crucial when seeking the best possible price.
There are many ways to make a business shine, so it is always worth discussing with your adviser or non-executive directors.
The Sales Memorandum is the initial marketing document sent to interested parties. It is written jointly by the management and your corporate adviser. It should:
Keep detailed confidential information out of a Sales Memorandum. This can be shown later to serious buyers.
Marketing your business falls into six stages.
Only use the B list if the A list does not produce results.
If the business is run by an owner-manager, approach the individual directly.
Meeting potential buyers can be disruptive to the management of your business. Balance the access you grant buyers with maintaining confidentiality and productivity.
There are many ways of paying for and taking over a business. You will need to weigh up what is on offer. The most important things to consider are:
Where payments rely on the business' future performance, retain some form of management control to enable those performance targets to be met. Otherwise, you may receive less than you expect.
Check the tax implications. Shares in an unquoted company may be hard to value and difficult to sell.
The accountant's remit will be to verify key management information and to identify potential problems for the buyer.
You should now finalise sale terms.
Your goal now is to complete the deal.
Parts may be legally binding. For example:
Once you have received opening offers, start the bargaining process.
Set a price.
Coax the remaining buyers into closer contact, keeping them well informed.
Spur buyers into action. Ask for final offers
The buyer's offer will be subject to further due diligence and the detailed sale agreement. Provided that this due diligence is trouble free and neither party has any surprises up its sleeve, the sale should now be relatively safe.
Many legal issues are covered by warranties and indemnities that you, as the vendor, will almost certainly be asked to sign. Read these carefully - they can be far reaching.

When I sent faxes, messages etc..she claimed not to have received them or her mail either.
Finally after three months of chasing her I was able to set a closing date for my mortgage refinancing. She set me up with a closer to meet me at a Perkins 75 miles from my home. I spoke with her before I left my home and everything was good to go. When I was about 10 miles from my location I received a call from her that I would need an additional $3000.00 to close. When I told her I didn't have $3000.00 she said fine I'll let the closer know to cancel the closing.
I don't know what they were trying to pull but they expected me to hand over $3000 to a person at a perkins and I have never dealt in a real estate deal like this where you didn't go to an office.

1. Introduction & General Terms
The BBC is committed to protecting your and your family's personal information when you are using BBC services. We want our services to be safe and enjoyable environments for our audience. This Privacy Policy relates to our use of any personal information we collect from you via the following online services:
- any BBC website that links to this Privacy Policy;
- social media or official BBC content on other websites;
- mobile and TV Applications ("Apps");
- the Red Button service
It also relates to our use of any personal information you provide to us by phone, SMS, email, in letters and other correspondence and in person
In order to provide you with the full range of BBC services, we sometimes need to collect information about you.
This Privacy Policy explains the following:
- what information the BBC may collect about you;
- how the BBC will use information we collect about you;
- when the BBC may use your details to contact you;
- whether the BBC will disclose your details to anyone else;
- your choices regarding the personal information you provide to us;
- the use of cookies on BBC websites and how you can reject cookies.
The BBC is committed to safeguarding your personal information. Whenever you provide such information, we are legally obliged to use your information in line with all laws concerning the protection of personal information, including the Data Protection Act 1998 (these laws are referred to collectively in this Privacy Policy as the "data protection laws").
BBC websites contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by third parties. These third party websites have their own privacy policies, and are also likely to use cookies, and we therefore urge you to review them. They will govern the use of personal information you submit, which may also be collected by cookies whilst visiting these websites. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the privacy practices of such third party websites and your use of such websites is at your own risk.
2. Who are we?
The BBC is the largest broadcasting organisation in the world. We are a public service broadcaster, established by a Royal Charter and primarily funded by the licence fee that is paid by UK households. The BBC includes the BBC World Service, which broadcasts to the world on radio, on TV and online, providing news and information in 32 languages.
The licence fee is supplemented by income from the commercial exploitation of licence fee funded content and infrastructure through three commercial subsidiaries – BBC Worldwide Ltd, BBC Global News Ltd and BBC Studios & Post Production.
BBC Worldwide and BBC Global News operate the international, advertising-funded version of the BBC website, bbc.com, for users from outside of the UK. Some sections of bbc.com, for example bbc.com/earth, are made available to UK users by BBC Worldwide on a non-commercial basis (i.e. the adverts have been removed).
BBC Worldwide's activities are only covered by this Privacy Policy in relation to its use of data collected via bbc.com. To find out more about BBC Worldwide, its commercial operations and how it will use data collected when you use its other international and UK services, including BBC Store, please see its corporate website and the BBC Worldwide Privacy Policy.
Please be aware the local language versions of BBC News on bbc.com are published by the BBC World Service (http://www.bbc.co.uk/ws/languages).
When we refer to ''we'' or ''our'' or ''the BBC'' we are referring to the BBC, the BBC World Service, BBC Global News and BBC Worldwide (but only in relation to BBC Worldwide's use of information collected via bbc.com).
3. What information will the BBC collect about me?
When you participate in, access or sign up to any of the BBC's services, activities or online content, such as newsletters, competitions, live chats, message boards, web and mobile notifications, telephone or text the BBC, vote, donate money to a BBC charity appeal, book tickets for a BBC event or create an account using the BBC's online registration system we may receive personal information about you. This can consist of information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number or date of birth, as well as information collected about your use of BBC services (such as what you read or watch on BBC Online).
Please note that sometimes we will require you to provide additional personal information, and sometimes sensitive personal information (e.g. if you're sending in an application to be a contributor on a political programme we may need to know your political leanings). When we do this we will provide further information as to why we are collecting your information and how we will use it.
Where we provide personalised services, we may ask your permission to review third party data about you, for example your Twitter or Facebook feeds, to get to know you better and to provide more effective personalisation. Some of our services enable you to sign-in via a third-party service such as Facebook. If you choose to sign-in via a third party app, you will be presented with a dialog box which will ask your permission to allow the BBC to access your personal information (e.g. your full name, date of birth, email address and any other information you have made publicly accessible). Please note that any information that is not required by the particular service you have opted to use will not be retained by the BBC.
The BBC also uses cookies and similar technologies (see section 13 below for details) and collects IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet) and other information about devices from visitors to BBC websites, users of its mobile device and TV apps, and through other BBC content online. Please see section 15 below for more information about mobile devices and TVs.
4. How will the BBC use the information it collects about me?
The BBC will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:
- to provide our services, activities or online content, to provide you with information about them and to deal with your requests and enquiries;
- for "service administration purposes", which means that the BBC may contact you for reasons related to the service, activity or online content you have signed up for, as set out in section 5 below (e.g. to provide you with password reminders, to notify you that a particular service, activity or online content has been suspended for maintenance, to notify you of updates to our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use);
- to ensure the TV Licensing database is accurate and kept up to date;
- where we provide personalised services, we may need to analyse the information you supply, as well as your activity on our services, so that we can offer you a better personalisation service (e.g. use your viewing history on iPlayer to provide personalised recommendations or if the first thing you look at every day on BBC Online is the weather for Luton, we may present this information or a link to it on your homepage). If you are signed-in or subscribed to email newsletters, you will receive a personalised service. If you do not wish to receive this, please sign-out and/or unsubscribe from the emails;
- to contact you about a submission you have made, including any content you provide. For additional information, please see the UGC FAQS (User Generated Content Frequently Asked Questions);
- to use IP addresses and device identifiers to identify the location of users, to block disruptive use, to establish the number of visits from different countries and to determine whether you are accessing the services from the UK or not. If not, you will be re-directed to the international version of the BBC website (bbc.com);
- for analysis and research purposes so that we may improve the services offered by the BBC;
- to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience. The BBC may also use and disclose information in aggregate (so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development purposes; and
- when you access the BBC website from outside the UK, you will see the international version, bbc.com, which features advertising. A certain amount of this advertising is tailored to the individual, a common practice known as online behavioural advertising. Find out more in the Ad choices for non-UK users section of the BBC Privacy & Cookies website. It is important to remember that you will only see this advertising, and receive online behavioural advertising, if you are visiting bbc.com from outside the UK.
Where the BBC proposes using your personal information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for the use of your personal information for purposes other than those listed above.
5. When will the BBC contact me?
The BBC may contact you:
- in relation to any service, activity or online content you have signed up for in order to ensure that the BBC can deliver the services to you;
- in relation to any correspondence we receive from you or any comment or complaint you make about BBC products or services;
- in relation to any personalised services you are using;
- in relation to any contribution you have submitted to the BBC, e.g. on the BBC message boards or via text or voicemail message;
- to invite you to participate in surveys about the BBC services (participation is always voluntary); and
- for marketing purposes, where you have agreed to this (see section 6 below)
Local pages will give you detailed information about how the BBC will contact you in relation to specific services, activities or online content.
6. Will I be contacted for marketing purposes?
The BBC will only send you emails or otherwise contact you for marketing purposes, or to promote new services, activities or content where you have agreed to this. Where you have agreed to receive these communications, we may personalise the message content based upon any information you have provided to us and your use of BBC Online.
7. Will the BBC share my personal information with anyone else?
We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in this section and section 8 below.
We may share your information across the public service and its commercial subsidiaries, such as BBC Worldwide, where this is necessary to provide you with a service you have requested, for example, when you register outside the UK or where you register to purchase content from BBC Store.
Generally, we will use your information within the BBC and will only share it outside the BBC where you have requested it or given your consent, for example if you choose to share content via social media. However, sometimes the BBC uses third parties to process your information on our behalf, for example to provide services or analysis. The BBC requires these third parties to comply strictly with its instructions and the BBC requires that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes, unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in this way.
We may share your personal information internally (i.e. with other BBC divisions) for example, to check your details against the TV Licensing database. Please see section 4 above for more details.
8. Offensive or inappropriate content on BBC websites
If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to BBC websites or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on any BBC service, the BBC may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.
Where the BBC reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any applicable laws (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), the BBC may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school email/internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.
9. What if I am a user aged 16 or under?
If you are aged 16 or under, please get your parent/guardian's permission before you provide any personal information to the BBC.
10. How long will the BBC keep my personal information?
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with the BBC or the BBC's corporate retention schedule (a database that defines which documents should be kept and for how long). If you cancel your BBC iD registration some personal information is deleted immediately, a flag goes on the database and, while the BBC cannot use the remaining personal information, it stays on the system for a period up to one year for administration purposes before being deleted or anonymised for analytical purposes.
Where you contribute material to the BBC we will generally only keep your content for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted. For example, we will only keep copies of entries to a photographic competition for the duration of the competition. However other projects (e.g. the People's War website) are likely to have a longer, or even permanent, duration.
The BBC, as a publicly funded organisation, also has an obligation to record snapshots of history which may include some User Generated Content i.e. content provided by the public. Therefore, some content submitted to, or shared with, the BBC may be retained for prolonged periods of time or potentially indefinitely in the BBC's Archive, which is true of News contributions which are published. There may also be rare instances where we will share your contribution with third parties in the interests of maintaining historical archives (e.g. contributions about people's experiences in the Second World War were given to the Imperial War Museum). Where possible, we will endeavour to inform you upfront or let you know at a later date where we are likely to keep content indefinitely or pass it onto an approved historical archive.
11. Can I find out what personal information the BBC holds about me?
Under the Data Protection Act you have the right to request a copy of the personal information the BBC holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge £10 for information requests and require you to prove your identity with 2 pieces of approved identification). We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.
Please address requests and questions about this or any other question about this Privacy Policy to the Data Protection Officer, BC2 A4 Broadcast Centre, 201 Wood Lane, London W12 7TP (Email: email@example.com)
12. What if I am accessing BBC websites outside the UK?
The BBC website is published in the UK by the BBC as bbc.co.uk. The international version of the website, bbc.com, is made available to international users accessing the website from outside the UK by the BBC's commercial subsidiaries, BBC Worldwide and BBC Global News, on a commercial basis (i.e. some of the pages you access from outside the UK will have advertising on them) under licence from the BBC. Please note that some pages of the BBC website are made available to users outside the UK on a non-commercial basis (for example, the front page for the BBC World Service's foreign language sites, e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/index.shtml). All personal information submitted by users outside the UK to bbc.com and to the World Service's foreign language sites will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy (and any local terms that apply to certain areas of the site). Where there is a conflict, the local terms will apply.
You may notice that some sections of bbc.com are available within the UK, for example bbc.com/earth. These are made available by BBC Worldwide to UK users on a non-commercial basis (i.e. the adverts have been removed).
13. Web browser cookies
a. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer, tablet or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") web browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your web browser if your browser's preferences allow it. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows. Similar technologies are also often used within emails to understand whether the email has been read or if any links have been clicked. If you continue without changing your settings, we'll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on the BBC website. However, you can change your cookie settings at any time.
On BBC websites, cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor our websites to your interests.
During the course of any visit to a BBC website, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.
b. How does the BBC use cookies?
Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience. For example, if on a previous visit you went to our education pages, we might find this out from your cookie and highlight educational information on your second and subsequent visits. The BBC uses this type of information to help improve the services it provides to its users. Certain areas of BBC websites may use cookies for a specific reason - for example, to help an online game work effectively on your device.
Additionally, BBC Worldwide uses cookies to serve some targeted advertising on bbc.com to non-UK users. Further information, including how to opt-out of receiving these cookies, can be found in the international users section of the BBC Privacy & Cookies website.
c. Third Party Cookies in embedded content on BBC pages
Please note that during your visits to BBC websites you may notice some cookies that are not related to the BBC or the BBC's contractors.
To support our journalism, we sometimes embed content from social media and other third party websites. These may include YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Soundcloud, Vine, Instagram, Pinterest and Flickr. As a result, when you visit a page containing such content, you may be presented with cookies from these websites and these third party cookies may track your use of the BBC website. The BBC does not control the dissemination of these cookies and you should check the relevant third party's website for more information.

SOUTH BERWICK – Eliot Rotarians sold lobster rolls at the South Berwick Strawberry Festival for the second year this past June, again dedicating all profits to the Library Campaign.
This donation, along with proceeds from a recent town-wide solicitation, brings the South Berwick Library Capital Campaign fundraising total to over $870,000, leaving approximately $230,000 to be raised to complete the new library. Current summer fundraising events include a coin drive and a gift card raffle, with plans under way for a special event in November targeted to raise $20,000 to renovate the balcony. Other fundraising needs include study tables, lighting, comfortable seating, just to name a few items.

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, July 17, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- With the ringing of the bell, the sound of the routine rush to class hit Cross Creek High School's halls a little earlier this year.
Emily Painter, the lead teacher for Eighth Grade Transition Academy, said, "Their first period starts with either reading, math or high school 101 prep class."
For two weeks, more than 100 students are taking part in the transitional academy to get ready for high school.
Students like 14-year-old Daren Newton are getting a crash course in time management.
"The skill level is going to be higher," Newton said.
The mentors are current high school students, there to help with the process.
"The freshmen that come in August 13th will be more prepared than other freshmen," said Sinclair Jacobs, a student mentor.
"They've gone around the school, they've seen how long it takes to go to the restroom, talk to your friends, open your locker and get to your next class on time," Painter said.
The students from three different middle schools are picked based on their CRCT scores. Lead teachers hope to improve their math scores through individualized lesson plans.
Newton has one goal in mind for next school year as he works to get a head start.
"Getting my grades up," he said.
"If you don't manage your time, you will definitely slack off," Jacobs said.
The practical lessons are designed to set these students up for four years of academic success. The students will be tracked throughout their high school career to see how well they perform. The school will be working closely with the graduation coach at Cross Creek to make sure in four years they have a diploma in hand.

A federal judge's recent order to unwind the acquisition of Saltzer Medical Group, an independent physicians group, by St. Luke's Health System, Ltd., a hospital system with its own staff of physicians, presents challenges for hospitals, physician groups, and other healthcare providers navigating the landscape of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as the "Affordable Care Act" or "ObamaCare"). One of the reforms in the act is the Medicare Shared Savings Program, which encourages different levels of providers to establish accountable care organizations (ACOs) in order to serve Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries and to promote integrated healthcare systems for commercially insured patients.
However, this ruling from Chief Judge Lynn Winmill of the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho will test the boundaries of ACOs and similar integrated healthcare arrangements under the federal antitrust laws. This tension between the ACO structure and the antitrust laws is not entirely unprecedented. When the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released their final rule adopting the Medicare Shared Savings Program, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a policy statement regarding ACOs participating in the program. The antitrust agencies, recognizing the potential for improved quality of care, cost savings, and other efficiencies of ACOs, advised that they would apply the more relaxed "rule of reason" analysis, rather than a "per se" unlawful rule, to ACOs that met certain criteria. The agencies also specifically emphasized that while the policy statement applied to otherwise independent providers and provider groups constituting the ACO, the statement did not apply to merger transactions, which would continue to be evaluated under the agencies' Horizontal Merger Guidelines.
Although this case, which the FTC brought alongside the Idaho attorney general, addresses the anticompetitive effects of a merger among healthcare providers, the Idaho district court's decision will have significant implications for ACOs. The factors that weigh in favor of unwinding a hospital's acquisition of a physicians group will influence the factors that weigh in favor of breaking up an ACO. St. Luke's' appeal of the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which was announced earlier this month, will be watched closely and will prove significant to hospitals, physician groups, and other healthcare providers, as it will shed light on a crucial question: what are the legal boundaries of an ACO when it comes into contact with the antitrust laws?
As Judge Winmill recognized in his decision, ACOs represent a bona fide effort by the United States Congress and several executive agencies to address the mounting healthcare crisis in the U.S. ACOs can generate compelling benefits for consumers, as their structure enables moving away from the "perverse incentives" of fee-for-service payment methods and toward the benefits of outcome-based payment plans. Additionally, these increasingly comprehensive systems can drive down costs and enhance quality of care by eliminating duplicative services and reducing friction between decision makers. A successful ACO can deliver higher-quality medical services while spending healthcare dollars more judiciously.
Judge Winmill acknowledged that St. Luke's' purchase of Saltzer conformed with this movement in the U.S. toward a more integrated and cost-effective healthcare system. In fact, he went so far as to applaud St. Luke's for its "foresight and vision," as well as its efforts to improve the delivery of healthcare through the merger. Nevertheless, after a four-week bench trial, Judge Winmill found that the acquisition would have greater anticompetitive effects than pro-competitive benefits. Employing standard antitrust analysis applicable to any merger, as set forth in the Horizontal Merger Guidelines, Judge Winmill examined the structure of the local healthcare market and weighed the valid interests of integrated healthcare and the ACO against the equally valid interests of the federal antitrust laws. He concluded that the transaction would lead to an increase in healthcare costs in Nampa, Idaho, where the combined entity, through the combination of the hospital-staff physicians and the independent physicians, would control 80 percent of primary care physicians. According to the court's January 24, 2014, order, St. Luke's and Saltzer would be able to negotiate higher reimbursement rates from health insurance companies, and charge "hospital" rates for routine services performed outside the hospital.
Crucial to the court's decision were the leverage positions of St. Luke's and Saltzer, as measured in part by their size and reputation. Pre-acquisition, St. Luke's had three of the top five highest-paid hospitals in Idaho, and its top hospital received reimbursements 21 percent higher than the average Idaho hospital. Saltzer was recognized as "the preeminent group of primary care physicians" in the Nampa region, and the largest health plan in Idaho considered Saltzer to be a "must have provider" in Nampa. Pre-acquisition, if a health plan were negotiating with Saltzer, its best outside option in Nampa was St. Luke's, and if a health plan were negotiating with St. Luke's, its best outside option was Saltzer. Post-acquisition, the health plan's best outside option in each scenario was eliminated, allowing St. Luke's' bargaining leverage to increase substantially. Greater bargaining leverage would enable St. Luke's to negotiate higher reimbursement rates from health plans, the costs of which would ultimately be passed on to the patients.
This ruling represents the first time a federal court has found a hospital's purchase of a physician practice to be unlawful. Following the court's January 24, 2014, order, FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez issued a statement applauding the decision as "an important victory" for both competition and consumers.1 Despite the strong stance taken by the FTC against the acquisition, St. Luke's announced earlier this month that it would appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit advised on March 7, 2014, that it had received St. Luke's' notice of appeal and issued a Time Schedule Order in the case, under which St. Luke's' appellate brief will be due June 12, 2014, and answering briefs due June 14, 2014.
The Ninth Circuit is expected to hear the case in the latter half of 2014 or early 2015. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati will be monitoring these developments closely and updating you accordingly.

Amir Khan Apologizes To Guerrero, But Rips Maidana
By Chris LaBate
WBA/IBF junior welterweight champion Amir Khan has apologized over a comment the boxer posted on his personal Twitter page on Thursday. Robert Guerrero suffered a left shoulder injury and withdrew from his upcoming fight with Marcos Maidana, scheduled for August 27th.
After Khan became aware of the news, he made a claim on his Twitter page that Guerrero's injury was non-existent and Maidana paid him "step aside money" to become the WBA's "regular" champion at 140-pounds. Khan is the WBA's "super champion" at 140. While Khan apologized to Guerrero, he continued to exchange verbal jabs with Maidana.
"I was messing around about the injury of Guerrero. Apologies for the tweet. I'm sure he didn't get paid step aside money. Someone said it was an arm injury in sparring [that] Guerrero suffered. Well let's hope he recovers. I bet Maidana is happy for not wanting to get beat up," Khan said.

Proposed page move[edit]
This page is aready more than just a history. I think it should be moved to Association football balls to allow it to be expanded and information scattered around to be pulled together, here. Bridgeplayer (talk) 13:35, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Present development last sentence[edit]
The last sentence is very long and incomprehensible, with too many subordinate clauses.
- The result was that the Developed FE model resisted deformation more than the Basic FE model ensuring that the football will continue to develop even in the present, thanks to David Beckham who contributed to this project of the gravity controlling football.
I would try to improve it if I understood what it meant. It also needs some citation on the involvement of Beckham.--Gciriani (talk) 01:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Size of ball?[edit]
Removed section on "Buckyball"[edit]
Perhaps some readers would want to know the size of the ball. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:24, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
..because it was complete nonsense. The truncated icosahedron is an Archimedian solid, not a buckyball, and was neither invented nor discovered by Fuller. Antimatter33 (talk) 14:17, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'm don't know the geometry, but what that section is stating is that Fuller created is and is the namesake of a ball design that is/was called a buckyball; it's not trying to express that he invented the shapes. Perhaps the stated shapes are wrong, but there are references for it. The common ball design known as a "buckyball" should be mentioned, even if other sources support a better description of the shape. If it is apocryphal that he create the design, sources should be found to explain that before removal. —Ost (talk) 14:55, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
+++Well I damn well *do* know the geometry and it's not a "buckyball" which is not even a real solid, it's a nickname for a particular molecule. An Archimedian solid is had by truncating the pyramidal vertices of any of the 5 Platonic solids. One such is the truncated iscosahedron. But have it your way, there is no point in arguing with Internet fools.Antimatter33 (talk) 09:00, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- I think the removal is correct. The Mental Floss source corrected itself - go check. I also found this article which seems to prove the Mental Floss article wrong. Also, Adidas was apparently not the first to use the design. Telstar's Wiki page says that Select Sport were the first to use the shape, just apparently without the colors and not gaining as much popularity as Telstar. Select Sport created it in 1962. Buckminster Fuller's first notable, large geodesic dome was at Expo 67 (like the Wiki page for him says). I'm removing it for now. Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 07:24, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Article title[edit]
This page was moved from association football (ball) to football (association football) with editsummary:
- moved Association football (ball) to Football (association football): this might seem convoluted, but it is in fact the proper name per our naming conventions; the old one had the subject in brackets and the topic outside, which is the wrong ..
The claim that the title "association football (ball)" 'had the subject in brackets and the topic outside' is incorrect. As the then intro stated,
- An association football is a ball used in the game of association football. The ball is usually called a football or soccer ball, according to whether the game is called "football" or "soccer".
So "association football" was the subject ("An association football is a ball"); the parenthetic "ball" was a category disambiguator ("An association football is a ball"), not, as the editsummary assumed, a topic disambiguator. That is, the disambiguator signals "the ball rather than the sport"; it does not signal "association football rather than rugby".
The current intro implies that the ball is never called an "association football". This is misleading; perhaps the move editor's confusion arose from never having heard the ball so called.
I accept that "football" is a (much) more common name for the ball than "association football" is. However, the current parenthetic disambiguator is inadequate. In the context of "association football", the word "football" primarily refers not to the ball but to the game. Therefore by rights Football (association football) should link to the game, not the ball. There is nothing in the article title that makes it obvious that it is referring to the ball rather than the game. The article should therefore be moved. As I see it there are these choices:
|Commonest name + category disambiguator + topic disambiguator
|Football (ball used in association football)
Football (ball, association football)
Football (association football ball)
|Not very pretty
|Second commonest name + no disambiguator
|Soccer ball
|"soccer"?! Oh noes!
|Third commonest name + topic disambiguator
|Ball (association football)
|"Ball" also has another meaning, as in "long ball", "through ball", etc.
|Fourth commonest name + category disambiguator
|Association football (ball)
|From the same school of compromise that gave us the page title "association football".
|Descriptive title
|Association football ball
|People might assume/infer that the page-title "association football ball" implies/assumes that this is a/the name of the subject rather than a mere description. And then object that it is not a name of the subject.
|Descriptive title that is obviously descriptive
|Ball used in association football
|Ah, now. Come off it.

Critique of page[edit]
This page is very well written and articulated. It clearly gives a brief summary for people searching information about the soccer ball without actually having to read the whole thing. But, these people miss out on very well written and interesting details that the authors have put together in this wikipedia article. It is very well broken down from section to section with clear straight to the point ideas. If you go over the past history, wikipedia has done an excellent job of weeding out the "poorer" posts onto the page, and in result, we have a very well written, well organized, and well flowing article of the history of the soccer ball.
The article starts off by talking about the earlier consistency of the soccer ball and briefly leads you into how it is today. Then the article leads more into of how the soccer ball had evolved, the issues with the soccer ball, why certain style started needing improvement and how that improvement came about. It mentions certain issues and failures of certain styles of soccer balls. Then as stated mentions on how the next form, which is supposed to improve on the last eliminated previous problem.
The sources are fairly complete and credible seeing as how some of the sources are coming from published articles and the pictures are coming from FIFA, which is the international body of soccer. Citing that entity demonstrates the credibility of the sources that this article has used. Some of the sources are actually full articles on each individual soccer ball that is mentioned. A full article that is published based solely on a particular ball shows that someone who has been cited in the article clearly had done their research for a particular ball. In my opinion, it has to be concluded that the sources in this article are fairly credible, and even impressive.
The illustrations are fairly accurate and clear, it seems to be that they are photos of collecters' items that were posted. My only complaint is that the illustrations only go as far back as 1966. This complaint is actually being picky, because having images of certain soccer balls as far back as 66' is actually rather impressive, but an enthusiast would obviously like to see images of the soccer ball that is apparently made out of animal bladder. The difficulty of obtaining this imaging is duly noted as difficult, but would be treat to witness. As far as images go, 8/10.
The information as stated in the opening paragraph is acceptably thorough, but not completely and nothing that blows me away. It seems that there is a bit of a gap in the history of the soccer ball in this article, and that gap is leading me to look elsewhere for answers. If this gap could be filled, it was greatly increase the experience of the article. The mentioned gap is between the soccer balls made of animal bladder, to vulcanization leading to the improvement of the soccer balls. More information and pictures would highly increase the experience of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hist406-11Hdoukmaj (talk • contribs) 19:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Text from Football (ball)[edit]
I removed most of this material from the Football (ball) article as it was far too in depth for that page. It is interesting material, but belongs on this page.:
Law 2 of the game specifies that the ball is an air-filled sphere with a circumference of 68–70 cm (27–28 in), a weight of 410–450 g (14–16 oz), inflated to a pressure of 0.6 to 1.1 atmospheres (59–108 kPa or 8.6–15.7 psi) "at sea level", and covered in leather or "other suitable material".[1] The weight specified for a ball is the dry weight, as older balls often became significantly heavier in the course of a match played in wet weather. The standard ball is a Size 5, although smaller sizes exist: Size 3 is standard for team handball and Size 4 in futsal and other small-field variants. Other sizes are used in underage games or as novelty items.
- Size 1
- These mini-balls are only used for promotional purposes. They are normally made of synthetic material, built up in 32 panels, and they do not exceed 43 cm (17 in) in circumference.
- Size 2
- This size ball is sometimes used in promotional tournaments and during training sessions for children. The same size ball is used for playing by children under 4. The size 2 association football ball is made of synthetic material, plastic or PVC and it is not bigger than 56 cm (22 in) or heavier than 280 g (10 oz). It is the perfect size ball for practising drills and for improving one's handling skills.
- Size 3
- The size 3 association football balls are used by players under 8 because the balls are light (they do not weigh more than 340 g (12 oz) and fairly small (61 cm (24 in) in circumference). They are usually made of 32 stitched or glued panels of synthetic materials or PVC. This is also the official size of balls used in handball.
- Size 4
- The size 4 balls are the standard balls for futsal but they may also be used in practices by players between 8 and 12 years old. They are spherical, weighing no more than 370 g (13 oz) and with a maximum circumference of 66 cm (26 in). They are normally made of leather or other suitable materials.
- Size 5
- This is the standard ball size with a circumference 69 cm (27 in) ± 0.5 cm (0.20 in) for the FIFA Approved standard (± 1.0 cm (0.39 in) for the lesser FIFA Inspected standard)[2] used in official FIFA championships all over the world. It is also the most widely used size of ball by players 12 years old or older. A size 5 association football ball could also be made from polyurethane. It is a less soft material that still retains a good feel and is much more durable. This material is a type of plastic, so it can increase the life of the ball dramatically.[3]
Spherical footballs were invented shortly before the rules of association football were formalised. In 1855, Charles Goodyear designed and manufactured spherical footballs; these were made entirely of vulcanised rubber.[4] In 1863, the English Football Association was formed and the rules of association football were established. However, there was no description on the ball size until 1873 when it was decided that the ball "must be spherical with a circumference of 27–28 in (69–71 cm)."
This rule still applies for the association football official matches played today all over the world. The early rules specified a weight of 13–15 oz (370–430 g) which was however changed in 1937 to the current accepted weight, 14–16 oz (400–450 g). At the same time, the association agreed that the official association football ball must be covered in leather or any approved material.
A direct consequence of establishing the laws of the game by the English Football Association was the mass production of association football balls. The first two companies that started producing association football balls in larger quantities were Mitre and Thomlinson from Glasgow. They produced balls made of leather because they wanted to produce good quality association football balls that will retain their form after use. On the other hand, they preferred stitching the panels since that means better quality and better and longer resistance in what the ball concerns. The best covers which resulted in very expensive association football balls were the ones made from the rump of a cow. By the 20th century, the official balls were produced with rubber bladders which were able to withstand heavier pressure.[5]
Until the 1950s the official balls used during association football matches had dark colors because of the color of the leather. In 1951 a white ball was first permitted to help spectators see the ball easier with the advent of floodlights. Even if they were used earlier in unofficial games, the official association football balls were permitted only in the mid-20th century.
Most modern footballs are stitched from 32 panels of waterproofed leather or plastic: 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. The 32-panel configuration is the spherical polyhedron corresponding to the truncated icosahedron; it is spherical because the faces bulge from the pressure of the air inside. The first 32-panel ball was marketed by Select in the 1950s in Denmark. This configuration became common throughout Continental Europe in the 1960s, and was publicised worldwide by the Adidas Telstar, the official ball of the 1970 World Cup.
The familiar 32-panel football design is sometimes referenced to describe the truncated icosahedron Archimedean solid, carbon buckyballs or the root structure of geodesic domes.
Balls are usually stitched from non-waterproof plastic, similar to the design of the modern volleyballs and Gaelic footballs, and laced to allow access to the internal air bladder.
The official FIFA World Cup football for Germany 2006 matches was the 14-panel Adidas +Teamgeist. It was made in Pakistan and Thailand by Adidas, who have provided the official match balls for the tournament since 1970, and is a "thermally bonded" machine-pressed ball, rather than a traditionally stitched one. Adidas will continue to supply the official football for the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.[6][7] In 2010, the official match ball Jabulani's design received criticism, with former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson describing it as a "beach ball" responsible for a rise in errors by goalkeepers and Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas also called it too rough for the goalkeepers .[8]
Another ball with an innovative pattern is the 26-panel Mitre PRO 100T.
There are also indoor footballs, which are made of one or two pieces of plastic. Often these have designs printed on them to resemble a stitched leather ball.
Chip-enabled ball[edit]
The Chip-enabled football was invented by Adidas, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated circuits in Erlangen and the company Cairos Technologies. The ball contains an integrated ASIC-Chip and a transmitter for the transfer of data.[9] The chip is suspended in the middle of the football and sends a signal to a receiver at the referee's wrist once the ball passed the outer goal-line.
The first tests were performed in Nuremberg. The stadium is equipped with twelve antennas in light masts and other locations distributed around the arena which collect data that is transmitted from the chip. The antennas are connected to a fiber optic cable which routes the data to servers in order to analyze them. The system was first used during the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru.
Child labor worries[edit]
Pakistan is the largest manufacturer of footballs on the planet. About 80% of association footballs are made in Pakistan. 75% of these (60% of all world production)[10] are made in the city of Sialkot. Child labor was commonly used in the production of the balls before the 21st century. In 1996, during the European championship, activists lobbied to end the use of child labor. This eventually led to the Atlanta Agreement, which seeks to reform the industry to eliminate the use of child labor in the production of balls.[11] This also led to a centralisation of production, which on the one hand would make it easier for the Independent Monitoring Association for Child Labour (IMAC)[12]—an organisation created to watch over the Atlanta Agreement—to make sure no child labor occurred, on the other hand often forced workers to commute further to get to work. The problem was largely due to highly skilled but uneducated class of labour force who would prefer to have their children learn the craft as opposed to going to school.

Synonyms of football/soccer ball[edit]
The opening line "A football, soccer ball, or association football" gives the notion that all three terms are equivalent names given to the ball used in association football. Though is "association football" a synonym of football/soccer ball. I have never heard it used as such.--2nyte (talk) 02:40, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Despite the tautology, there appears to be some usage of "association football ball".[1] Hack (talk) 03:38, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, it would have to be "association football ball", not just "association football", as that would not make sense. – PeeJay 12:33, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- As I explained above, the ball is indeed occasionally called an "association football". Just because you have not heard of it does not mean it does not exist. Examples:
- De Beers AFC constitution The Club badge shall consist of: "A representation of an association football in gold, with markings and lacing in brown, bearing the monogram AFC in white lettering. Underneath the football shall appear the words 'De Beers' in white gothic lettering on a royal blue field".

Panel history?[edit]
I was disappointed there wasn't more discussion about the history of the panel layout and construction of the ball. From the World Cup table, it's easy to see that there's a number of designs over the years, but there's very little discussion about the history and rationale behind the various designs, or any discussion about the prevalence of various designs in non-World Cup environments (as the ball used in the World Cup may not be representative of "standard" balls). -- 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:41, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Sovereign Default Risk Assessment From The Bottom-Up
In 2010, the world's focus on the global financial crisis shifted from financial markets and institutions to sovereign debt, especially in Europe. This has motivated a re-examination of techniques and traditional indicators to assess the health of individual countries. Since the potential financial and economic implosion of several European countries seemed to erupt fairly quickly, one might conclude that the existing scholarly and practitioner methods were not adequate. The authors believe that one can learn a great deal about sovereign risk by, in addition to observing traditional macroeconomic measures of performance, to also carefully assess the health and aggregate default risk of a nation's private corporate sector - a type of "Bottom-up" analysis.

"She's got on her little orange mac. With the hood pulled up. Turns the corner and goes to catch the bus. . . You don't think, do you? You don't think anything's going to happen."
The Early Bird taps into the darkest fear of any parent – the disappearance of their child – to brilliantly capture the nightmare of recrimination and loss. Debbie and Jack blame each other and themselves, and in doing so reveal the inner secrets of their own relationship. The play sustains the ambiguity of it all, we never know how Kimberley, the daughter has disappeared we don't know how old she is, this leads us to focus on Debbie and Jack and the way they deal with their loss and how it effects their love for each other.

Gifts for friends and family I thought great, no driving around looking. Sit in the comfort of my home bidding, punching in numbers, winner, yeah, goods on the way.
Waited with anticipation for delivery to arrive, had ordered what I thought would be a fantastic ring for my partner, gold band with diamonds and a precious stone valued around the $700 mark, got it for $55. Things have been tough financially and wanted something nice for him.
Well what a dissapointment it was to get the package, rip it open to find what looked like nothing more than cheap costume jewellery, thin band and so called diamonds so small I could'nt see them and no sparkle in any light. The box I ordered for it cost $15 and turned out to be the nicest thing we recieved.
I had ordered other items and after reading what other consumers had said about rings on this site(which I stumbled onto) I tugged lightly on the pearl on top of the gold ring also with non existent diamonds and it came off all too easy, I could have cried, I ordered it for my mother who's birthday is coming up. The pearl necklace is laughable, unfortunately I have since bid on other items which I am praying that when they arrive are of much better quality than what I have already recieved. I have done nothing about sending anything back as I can not afford to be more out of pocket than I already am. I feel like a fool and will only stick with reputable Australian on line companies in future. I wish I had stumbled on this site sooner.
