The objective of this nationwide study was to assess the association between cellular phone use and development of parotid gland tumors (PGTs). The methods were based on the international INTERPHONE study that aimed to evaluate possible adverse effects of cellular phone use. The study included 402 benign and 58 malignant incident cases of PGTs diagnosed in Israel at age 18 years or more, in 2001-2003, and 1,266 population individually matched controls. For the entire group, no increased risk of PGTs was observed for ever having been a regular cellular phone user (odds ratio = 0.87; p = 0.3) or for any other measure of exposure investigated. However, analysis restricted to regular users or to conditions that may yield higher levels of exposure (e.g., heavy use in rural areas) showed consistently elevated risks. For ipsilateral use, the odds ratios in the highest category of cumulative number of calls and call time without use of hands-free devices were 1.58 (95% confidence interval: 1.11, 2.24) and 1.49 (95% confidence interval: 1.05, 2.13), respectively. The risk for contralateral use was not significantly different from 1. A positive dose-response trend was found for these measurements. Based on the largest number of benign PGT patients reported to date, our results suggest an association between cellular phone use and PGTs.

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ceramint.2009.09.029
Si3N4–TiNcomposites were successfully fabricated via planetary ball milling of 70 mass% Si3N4 and 30 mass% Tipowders, followed by sparkplasmasintering (SPS) at 1250–1350 °C. The sintering mechanism for SPS was a hybrid of dissolution–reprecipitation and viscous flow. The electrical resistivity decreased with increasing sintering temperature up to a minimum at 1250 °C and then increased with the increasing sintering temperature. The composites prepared by SPS at 1250–1350 °C could be easily machined by electrical discharge machining. Composite prepared by SPS at 1300 °C showed a high hardness (17.78 GPa) and a good machinability.

Solution Preview
Competing on a global scale for coffee exporters has proven to not be as profitable as it once was. This decline can be due to a number of contributing factors. There are many different variables that need to be taken into consideration when pondering the reasons for the coffee crisis. The countries which export and the counties that import are very important. The consumption of coffee beans by county plays a big role. The type of land and weather that a producing county has can be very important to the overall production. Success in this type of industry will be determined by having Mother Nature mercy you, having the right type of geography, and having the products that your customers want.
Having the right weather and resources can be very important to being profitable in the industry. Having the right land to grow certain products is also a must. Certain crops are going to better in certain areas than others. Weather can be a very unpredictable factor when dealing with agricultural type products. A surprise frost or flood can wipe out an entire supply of a product leaving the producer out everything that they put into it. Having many bad years due to weather can leave a producer so far in the hole that they cannot come back from it.
The International Coffee Agreement (ICA) stopped production of certain coffee beans and certain areas by producers so that they could remain in compliance with the agreement. This agreement was a fair attempt to regulate supply of coffee beans and keep a control on the industry. This regulation also had an impact on what types of beans were produced since certain areas where only capable of producing certain types of coffee beans. The ability to produce different types of coffee ...
Solution Summary
An inside look at the coffee crisis and the impact the industry had on business.

|Political economy in the LIS professions
|Paradis, Adam D.
|Library and information science education
|How are we to approach the gaps in LIS curriculum, to discover that there are any gaps at all in the midst of our education and training? So often we encounter (and ignore) these absences only once we are embedded in the professions, as archivists, librarians, records and data managers. When our training always comes with the caveats "it depends" and "in practice, though" we need to be able to anticipate and be prepared to encounter glaring problems in our education illuminated by our practices. The only way to make them obvious, to prepare us for the our imminent future, is to critically engage the profession by theorizing practice and bringing practice to bear on theory. My talk will offer some examples of how to begin spotting–and articulating–the gaps. Through the lens of critical theories that articulate the political economy and production of information work, the relations between power and our profession, and the values and institutions we tacitly reproduce, we can become engaged information professionals who can effectively shift and work within the constraints left silent in our training. By introducing with such critical lenses, we will bolster our roles in and for society while contributing to glaring gaps both in our training and education and in the literature that theorizes our work. In this presentation, we will offer a critical appraisal of the profession, a realistic articulation of the work and production of information professionals, and the types of institutions, organizations, and ideologies we support–whether tacitly or explicitly–in information work. In lumping together these professions we have to acknowledge, too, that there are incongruences among them: the service profession elements, the quickness of response, the direct hand in general education so crucially a part of library work is absent in archives, for example. And yet if we take critical theory lenses to both professions we can ask the same question: whom do we serve, what is produced and reproduced, and what is compromised in the always already embeddedness of our professions? The failure of theoretical work to adequately address our professions in practice means that we need to work to fill in those gaps as well. This can be done on the one hand, with a realistic understanding of information work and, on the other, a shrewd understanding of the problems of theory. On the one hand we have the practice of the profession, on the other, a theorization of the profession without the practice. This talk will be a speculative talk: we look at the profession, then the theory, and then how each must inform the other. This will not only bolster both theory and practice, but it will, in turn, re-callibrate the professions. Through symposia like this, resource sharing, discussion and criticism on the many media available–even our forays into professional societies–we can engage our profession, grow the profession, and enhance the profession by becoming aware of their limits and the problems inherent to the work that we do.

Do not take your injury lightly. If you've become injured at the fault of another individual, you may want to consider legal options. No matter how the case turns out, your efforts should at least make the world a safer place. Read on to learn how to deal with the legal issues surrounding personal injuries.
Be sure you clearly document your injuries in thorough detail after you have been hurt. All physical issues should be explained, no matter what they are. Make note of anything that may show up later, such as bruises. Realize that if you feel a great deal of anxiety, this may be a symptom of your experience.
Do not forget your lost income when assessing the impact of your injuries. This includes lost wages from being unable to work, whether due to injury or issues like lack of transportation. You also can total the money spent and lost on classes in which you weren't in attendance.
Look on the web for attorneys who have great reputations. There is good information here to help you make your decision. The key is to find someone that has a great track record, in addition to a great education, so that your chances are as good as they possibly could be.
Sometimes it is in both parties interest to settle for the damages before a case goes to court in a personal injury case. Not only will this save you a lot of stress in the long run, but can reduce the amount of court fees that you will end up paying.
A bit of pain doesn't make for a personal injury claim. Sometimes it just goes away. However, if a week has passed and you still don't feel quite right, consider contacting an attorney.
Keep good documentation of all your doctor and hospital visits. Good paperwork is important when you are pursuing an injury case. This will show that you are trying your best to get better. A lack of this proof makes you look like nothing more than a scam artist, attempting to get over on an insurance company or on the court.
You should choose a lawyer who has plenty of experience with personal injury cases. Many people think it doesn't matter what lawyer they get. You want someone who has experience doing the type of case you're getting into. If you don't you are only hurting your own case.
After an accident, don't move your car unless the police tell you to. This might lead to greater damage and can make the opposing party become less liable. The only time this must happen is in a busy street.
It is very difficult and time consuming to file a personal injury lawsuit. In fact, it may take many years from start to finish. Nonetheless, it is the thing to do if you need to be compensated for losses caused by an injury. Hopefully, you've learned what you needed to in order to go forward in confidence and win your case. It is going to help you, but others as well.

yeah, fuck up the entire server (the exact reasoning why that was a bad idea was presented by il, blid and possibly mouse), because one guy is having mental issues. That sounds about rightif your obsession is related strictly to the client, then im sorry Eq, but you might consider killing yourself. That's your only option UNLESS you want to focus on positive things such as eradicating the hackers from the community. and to do that, talk to lance and persuade him to share the antihack or the hardware ban, give some $$'s to motivate il, support him and perhaps dont spread around instructions about how to hacki could use some pussy, all of you must donate me 10$ or else.
all of you suck him off despite everything he's done, so i decided to post some truth for a change. please call me an antagonist

When it comes to weeknight meals I'm all about fast & easy recipes! This week I found a winner!
Taco Pie!
1 tube of crescent rolls
1 lb of ground beef
2 tablespoons of taco seasoning
3/4 cup salsa
can of black beans
can of corn
shredded cheese (any kind will do-I used Mexican)
1.) Spray pie pan and line with crescent rolls.
2.) Brown meat, add seasoning & salsa, and let simmer 5 minutes. Add corn & black beans to mixture. (I like to prep all my meats the night before so I'm not starting the whole cooking process when I get home with both babes at 5:30 pm!) So when I made this meal I just pulled out my meat mixture from the fridge and was ready to go!
3.) Pour mixture in pie pan & top with cheese! (The original recipe I adapted this from didn't have the corn/black beans so there will be some extra! I usually freeze for an easy nacho topping!)
4.) Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. Edges should be brown! Top with sour cream & salsa!

Online Dating
Discuss This!
Finding a new relationship can be challenging, but the digital landscape has never been easier.
Online dating has morphed into social dating, where singles are also connecting and reconnecting on Facebook and flirting on Twitter.
In the online dating world, your entire bucket needs to be full if you want to be successful with the process.
Sure it's exhausting, but did you know many singles actually go out on a first date on Valentine's Day?
According to Match.com's third annual "Singles in America" study, connecting online ranks #1 amongst the places where singles meet.
The Match.com study reports, "An unprecedented number of single Americans are now turning to the Internet to find love: Nearly one-third of singles (27.5 percent) reported they have dated someone whom they met online."
In addition, the study shows 20 percent of singles met their most recent date online versus 7 percent who met at a bar.
"At the end of the digital day, many couples
connect on February 15th and beyond."
The Facebook data team reports more than 70 percent of those who have listed their relationship status on Facebook actually had their first date on Valentine's Day.
This number may appear staggering, but Facebook adds Valentine's Day is the highest day on average for people to add a new relationship status or become "Facebook Official."
Since 40.5 percent of the status relationship changes moved to "Single" on Facebook in 2012, it's likely someone will enjoy chatting with you on the world's largest social network on Valentine's Day, even if it's a digital date from the convenience of your computer or mobile phone.
Remember, Valentine's Day is a Hallmark card and See's Candy day.
It's also the day women rank high on the totem pole.
Most guys don't care about Valentine's Day, but they know if they don't ask someone out who they've been dating, they could end up in the digital doghouse.
At the end of the digital day, many couples connect on February 15th and beyond.
After all, spring fever is just around the corner.
Would you accept a first date on Valentines Day?
Your comments are welcome.

Look fast, feel fast, run fast — Nike tuned the Air Zoom Pegasus 35 to do all three.
The 9.9-ounce shoe shares speedy DNA with the Zoom Vaporfly 4%, including its beveled heel for smooth transitions and a sock-like fit. Along with full-length Zoom Air in the midsole for a snappier step, this year's model got much faster while maintaining the same cushion as the Pegasus 34.
Finished with Nike's secure Flywire cable lace system to lock down your foot, the new Pegasus will let you gallop around tight turns like you have four legs and let you run faster to fly past your goals like you have giant horse wings.

Tech specs
Price: $120
Weight: 9.9 oz (Pegasus 35 men's)
Drop: 10 mm

What is Air Zoom?
Nike's Air Zoom technology is a cushioning system that maximizes a runners performance and speed.
The responsive, low-profile cushion is made from tightly stretched tensile fibers that are knit inside a pressurized Air unit. The fibers inside the Air unit compress to provide cushion each time your foot hits the ground, and then they snap back into place when you pick your foot up.
The effect? You get an explosive, snappy step off the ground with each stride.
Get all the tools you need to dominate. A snappy ride and cushy feel make the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 35 one of the best-selling Nike running shoes of all time

Spinning A Web
NetDay96, the highly publicized volunteer effort in March to wire California's schools for computer networks, will go nationwide in October, with as many as 40 states expected to stage one-day events.
The original NetDay96 mobilized an estimated 20,000 volunteers to install some six million feet of wire in 2,600 California schools. President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore both took part, unrolling spools of cable at a high school near San Francisco.
Since then, organizers of the San Francisco-based movement have enlisted private organizations, individuals, school districts, and state departments of education across the country. Each participating state will select a Saturday in October for volunteers to fan out to schools, installing plastic-coated strands of copper or glass cable to link classroom computers to the Internet and its World Wide Web.
At a national organizing conference in Washington, D.C., in June, Gore, U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley, and other federal officials endorsed NetDay as an example of the corporate and grassroots volunteerism that can propel the nation's schools into the technological age. "NetDay is an important effort," Riley said, "because it puts in place one of the essential elements needed to make technology a tool to improve teaching and learning--connections in every classroom that give all of our students access."
Led by two California businesses--San Francisco-based Sun Microsystems Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. of San Jose--a number of major telecommunications, networking, and software companies have announced that they will participate. John Gage, a Sun Microsystems executive and co-founder of NetDay, enthusiastically predicted that the October turnout will be massive. "We ought to get one million," he said.
Schools that don't participate will be held accountable, said Gage, who plans to post on the World Wide Web the names of all the school board members in the nation and whether they took part. Gage, who helped organize protests against the Vietnam War during the 1960s, believes the NetDay cause is worth turning up the heat. "The school without access to the Web is out of it," he said.
In most places, NetDay will not be paid for with tax dollars. Organizers are urging corporations to buy wiring kits and donate them to schools, as well as to volunteer employees who have technical expertise to spearhead installation. They are urging schools to wire at least 20 percent of the building: roughly five adjacent classrooms and a library. That, they estimate, should require at least five volunteers and 2,000 feet of wire.
Wiring kits assembled by technology vendors are listed for sale on the NetDay96 site on the World Wide Web. Kit prices average about $380, although organizers say prices might drop. The kits all include heavy-duty, "category five" telephone wire that can provide high-volume, high-speed Internet access. Missing from the list is a wiring option that is the preferred choice of some schools: fiber-optic cable. Fiber has much greater data-carrying capacity than wire but is more expensive and much harder to install. According to Gage, at least one vendor may soon offer a fiber-optic kit that would simplify installation by volunteers.
The NetDay96 Web site is the effort's main information clearinghouse, with links leading to related sites, including schools that took part in the California event and those that are organizing for October. The site also includes a U.S. map color-coded to show each state's level of participation.
As of early August, 31 states were shaded green, meaning they were "organized." Those colored yellow--nine at press time--have NetDay "contacts." The 10 states in red "need help."
However, at least two "green" states--Mississippi and Texas--appeared to be less "organized" than the map suggests. In Mississippi, for example, "we have registered with the NetDay people," said Helen Soule, technology director for the state education department. But officials there are waiting to meet with school technology coordinators to determine their level of participation. At best, Soule said, the state would take part "at pilot scale" in October. "We're looking at March for more full-blown activity," she said.
Anita Givens, the acting director of instructional technology for the Texas Education Agency, said the department "right now has no concrete plans" to participate in NetDay but is exploring logistical and legal issues. She added, however, that some individual school districts in the state might be taking part.
Other green states have jumped enthusiastically on the NetDay bandwagon. Massachusetts and North Carolina, for example, are home to large numbers of technology companies that could become long-term partners to local schools. Both states have extensive Web sites devoted to NetDay.
Linda Roberts, the technology adviser to the U.S. Department of Education, noted that in many schools the October event might simply be a planning day. "Every NetDay in every state and in every community is going to look a little different," she said.

Retirement Loans In Bankruptcy
What are 401K Loans?
401K is an employer-sponsored retirement account. 401K loans are loans borrowed against your retirement account. They are fairly easy to obtain as there are no credit checks and interest rates are low. Since you are borrowing from yourself, the interest you pay is generally interest that you are paying yourself. Your are required to pay back these loans otherwise you suffer penalties and tax charges. The IRS typically limits 401K loans to a total of $50K or half of your vested 401K loan balance. Since you are essentially borrowing against yourself, 401K loans are not treated like typical debts.
How are 401K Loans Treated in Bankruptcy?
401K's in general are exempt in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. What does exempt mean? Just because you are filing for bankruptcy does not mean you have to sell everything you own, you are allowed to keep or exempt various items. 401K under the law is fully exempt and you can keep them when you file for bankruptcy.
401K loans are not considered debts, so you cannot file for bankruptcy to get rid of your responsibility to pay it back without suffering the consequences of penalties and tax liabilities.
401K loan repayments however are considered a deduction to your disposable income, which is a benefit when you run the Means Test. The Means Test is what is used to determine whether or not you qualify for a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13.
Bankruptcy is a complex process. If you feel it is an option for you, please contact our firm and we can set up a free 30 minute consultation today. Click here to contact our firm.

Not Just Document Shredding; Secure Document Shredding
From Gwinnett County, Georgia, comes the latest reason for every organization to have a secure document shredding solution: A crew of county inmates collecting trash on a busy Gwinnett County road discovered thousands of medical documents scattered everywhere.
According to WSB-TV in Atlanta, the paper records came from Eastside Medical Center in Snellville and were on their way with a vendor to be shredded.
Why the documents never arrived isn't clear, but it underscores one key point: Document shredding services aren't always secure document shredding services. Hey, you can buy a shredder for a couple hundred dollars and open a shredding service in your garage. You stick the private medical documents into the shredder and – poof! – just like that, they're confetti.
But then what? And who is responsible if they aren't shredded properly, or if some documents don't get shredded at all? Who is accountable?
Clearly, the unnamed vendor associated with this story doesn't represent a secure document shredding service. I'd call this one shoddy at best, and at worst absolutely irresponsible.
"Patients' names, address, phone numbers, the type of surgery they had, type of medication they were on," one witness was quoted as saying. "Whoever was driving had to see all these documents in the rear view mirror or side view mirror just all over the place."
Did they? Did they just not bother to stop? If so, that's a problem. Laws are in place with strict regulations covering private information, from human resources and trade secrets to customer information and medical records. Every organization – not just a hospital, as in this story – must be aware of this and select a vendor that complies with these regulations.
Sensitive documents such as those abandoned in Gwinnett County should be securely transported to a shredding facility, shredded, reduced to pulp and recycled. Hey, and that way you even help the environment while protecting private information.
The last line of the story reads, "Duluth Police say they investigated and found no criminal wrongdoing and have classified the incident as an accident."
I bet HIPAA officials may have something more to say about that.

Creating amazing content, having a stunning website and gathering a small but faithful amount of followers are essential ingredients of any successful digital marketing strategy. However, potential growth will stall without working constantly on expanding your site's visibility.
Link-building has been a long-standing yet effective SEO strategy that tackles this problem by helping small businesses extend their reach and help others discover it among the overcrowded net. However, bad link-building can result in a waste of time and resources, or even get you penalized!
Here are 4 tips for building inbound links efficiently:
Choose sites wisely
Building inbound links is not merely about guest posting everywhere or pasting links to your site in every forum, no matter how obscure. The efficacy of inbound links depends significantly on the site's importance and relevancy in your niche.
Make a list of influential sites that accept backlinks, and choose those with the best reputation to ensure your links last and grant you higher chances of being shared and clicked on.
Build relationships first
Of course, getting your content in one of those most prominent sites might seem next to impossible. Sites with higher traffic and authorship receive far too many applications, so instead of focusing on getting your backlinks through regular channels, focus on getting in touch with the site's managers and get the help of knowledgeable writers.
Relationship-building within any industry is as important as link-building, and will improve your chances of being noticed.
Link to the proper page within your site
One of the most common causes of penalization is clumsily linking random, unrelated words to a site. Good inbound links must have an anchor text that leads to a relevant place within your site, that is also directly related to the text.
Always keep in mind the connection between keyword, handle and title: it might save you a lot of trouble!

This article tries to show ways towards the co-existence of these two mindsets as shareholders of the same company and the opportunity this presents for all stakeholders of social enterprises.
Uli Grabenwarter, Researcher on Impact Investing and Visiting Professor at IESE University of Navarra, Barcelona; IESE/FOC Impact Investing Research 2011
The fall-out of the recent financial crisis has softened to some extent the debate on the merits of social enterprises as investment targets. Also, a clearer definition of the boundaries of impact investing has paved the ground for a new quality of arguments: Recent research suggests as a requirement that not only has an impact investment to be explicitly for profit but in addition there has to be a positive correlation between the social impact objectives and the financial return drivers of a target company's business model1. This additional feature clarifies the cut-off line of impact investing to philanthropic funding activities.
The requirement of positive correlation between impact objectives and financial return implies that the financial return drivers of funded business models cannot be dissociated from impact objectives. In other words, if the business model is the means of achieving the impact objective, by definition there has to be a positive correlation between the impact objectives and the business model's financial return. Any business model in which every unit of social or environmental impact has a cost in terms of financial return is therefore inevitably a disguised form of philanthropy.
This insight may have far-reaching consequences for how impact businesses are perceived in the financial markets. In addition, it also opens totally new avenues in the funding of impact businesses. So far, the funding community of a business has been neatly divided into two constituencies, being the impact-first investors and the financial-return-first investors2. This division is based on the above-stated assumption that financial return and social impact are, if not mutually exclusive, at least mutually detrimental factors in the development of a company.
However, if one accepts that, for assessing the quality of impact, the investor's motivation is meaningless as long as the achieved impact is intentional, then this trade-off debate becomes obsolete as well:
As a matter of fact, the attitude of an investor towards financial return generated by his investment is an investment decision dimension but does not necessarily have to do with the profit-orientation of the underlying business model. In other words, the fact that a business model's core objective is to pursue a social impact does not necessarily mean that this company cannot generate a financial profit. And, in return, the fact that a social impact business is profitable does not impose any requirement on the profit-orientation of its investors.
To be considered an impact investment, the requirement of profit orientation does not relate to the company's dividend policy but merely states that the company should be run with a for-profit mindset with a positive correlation between pursued impact and financial return drivers. The company's dividend behaviour is not a feature that determines whether or not a business is an impact business. It is a feature of the investment product or instrument used to fund the business.
It is obvious that for-profit investors and non-for profit investors don't share the same philosophy when it comes to profit generation of their investments. However, if social impact objectives are inextricably interwoven with the economic value drivers of a business model, then there must be ways that for-profit investors and non-for-profit investors fund the same business model even if they back the company they invest in for different reasons.
If financial markets manage to segregate the impact business model from the financial return preferences of investors, then a company that has a social objective at the core of its product or service offering should be able to be equally attractive for both for-profit and non-for profit investors. The preference of investors as to the use of financial return then would not be expressed in the business model of the company but in the features of the investor's investment instrument.
Financial return expectations from impact investments reflected in different share classes
Different financial return preferences for instance could easily be captured in the characteristics of different share classes that a company issues. Financial markets know already in many instances different characteristics of financial instruments used by various investors to fund one and the same business. The most obvious is the differentiation of debt and equity holders in a business. In the last decades, many shades of hybrid products between pure equity and pure debt have emerged. Within equity instruments various share classes have been created reflecting different risk/return preferences of investors. Hence there is no reason why such differentiating features of financial products could not also relate to impact businesses and the profit generated by them.
It is perfectly conceivable to have for-profit investors who judge a social business as a more attractive investment opportunity based on its selling proposition alongside purely impact-minded non-for-profit investors. Whilst the for-profit investors would subscribe traditional ordinary shares that pay dividends like any other share in the market, non-for-profit investors could buy into a different share class which does not pay dividends but accrues profits in the company's capital accounts.
The weight of shares in the capital account would obviously change in the proportions of dividends distributed to "for-profit" shares and profits accrued for "non-for-profit" shares. As such for-profit investors would directly benefit from the financial profitability of their investment while non-for-profit investors can decide to scale the means for creating impact by maintaining their financial profit within the social impact business.
Opportunities for policy makers and legislators
Such differentiation in share classes allows social impact businesses to access capital from both the for-profit investor space and the non-for-profit investor community, provided that the business model offers an appealing social impact that can be scaled in a way to deliver also attractive financial returns. Such funding structure appears vital to provide social businesses with an access to mainstream markets, helping them to overcome capital constraints that they typically face when purely relying on the non-for-profit investors community.
However, such funding models are not only attractive for the flexibility they offer for enterprises. They also provide scope for targeted action by policy makers who seek to foster social businesses as a substitute to public services. Just like the social impact bonds created in the UK3 combines public sector incentives with private sector investment products, companies with different share classes with different return features for their investors could be used to tailor tax treatments to the policy objective on one hand and the combination of impact affinity and profit orientation of investors on the other hand.
It is for instance conceivable that corporate taxes on a business' profits available for distribution to for-profit investors (A-shares) are taxed differently than profits allocated to capital accounts of non-for-profit investors (B-shares) accruing their profits within the company in order to scale impact.
Such differentiated tax treatment of A- and B-shares could take the form of a permanent tax benefit in case the proportion of A-shares and B-shares is fixed. It could however also be merely a deferred tax advantage in the case B-shares can be converted into A-shares at given times. In such case the earnings allocated to the capital account of B-shares could benefit from preferential tax treatment until conversion. From the point of conversion, the portion of retained earnings in the capital accounts of B-shareholders becomes taxable at company level (catch-up for tax brake on corporate tax) and the balance becomes distributable to investors.
The impact-related tax treatment of profit attributable to shares is undeniably the most complex one. Hence, such impact-related treatment is fairly easily adaptable to all types of financial instruments including bonds, convertible bonds and any form of mezzanine finance.
Qualification as eligible impact business
Obviously, in order to put such funding models for for-profit impact businesses in place, criteria for eligible business models need to be defined. Such criteria are not only relevant for the bilateral relationship between for-profit and non-for profit investors in one and the same company but also for its eligibility under special tax regimes and its legal forms of incorporation as a social business.
It appears advisable to create a corporate structure for social businesses which requires them to define impact objectives and their metrics for monitoring. Such metrics need to be tailored to the business model of the enterprise.
Also, ratios of A- and B- shares should be set in a legal framework as requirement for qualifying as an impact business.
Benefit for for-profit and non-for profit investors
The co-existence of financial return objectives and impact objectives within the same business model does not necessarily lead to contradiction. As matter of fact, if they are positively correlated, they serve as mutual catalysts and amplifiers.
Hence, for for-profit investors the social impact is at the source of financial return. For impact investors, financial return becomes the means for scaling impact.
Besides this intrinsic joint interest of for-profit and non-for-profit investors in the development of impact objectives within the business model any tax benefit and/or tax-brake granted to the impact business provides additional incentives for for-profit investors in impact businesses. Any corporate tax brake operated at the company level increases the financial resources available for developing the business and hence improves the capital efficiency for investors.
The size of such tax benefits can be tailored to the policy objectives of the legislator and also to the achieved savings in the public budget if parts of the public services currently paid through taxpayers' money can be shifted to private sector business models (crf. the social impact bonds in the UK).
Challenges in the governance of social impact enterprises
Obviously, the co-existence of for-profit and non-for-profit investors within the group of shareholders of a company can lead to anything between lively debate on strategic orientation of the company to mutual blockage through the exercise of their respective voting rights.
This risk is the reason why a very diligent definition of the legal bases of a social impact enterprise is vital. Such legal base needs to define minimum impact requirements, requirements on metrics and reporting and protection rights comparable to minority protection rights for for-profit and non-for profit investors. However, whilst such legal framework can provide downside protection for each of the investor constituencies, the most effective protection of their interest rests in the alignment of interest through the success factors of the business model they invest in.
A great facilitator for an effective balance between for-profit interest and social impact interest lies certainly in the tradability of shares. Hence, the creation of a liquid stock exchange for social impact businesses appears to be a potentially powerful amplifier for this market segment.
The above article tries to identify areas of action suitable to improve the access to finance for social impact businesses and to bring them onto the radar screen of mainstream financial markets. Undeniably, such evolution of financial markets would require a sizeable effort from policy makers to set a suitable legal base for social impact businesses. Defining the right balance between rights and obligations for for-profit investors and non-for-profit investors appears vital and is far from trivial. However, integrating social impact into the financial markets' reasoning, although requiring out-of-the-box thinking in its conception, will create tremendous opportunities for businesses, investors, managers, service providers and not least for governments as it allows to entirely rethink the dividing line between tax-funded public services and private sector funded social business activity. Given the potential spill-over of business activity to all service providers connected to the financial markets, the trend of financial markets towards impact conscious investing will reward governments, policy makers and their economies for their creativity and innovation in defining the regulatory framework for the social finance sector.

3 Social Impact Bonds typically have a fixed maturity and often do not have a pre-set coupon rate or interest. Repayment to investors is often contingent upon specified impact indicators being achieved. Hence, in terms of investment risk Impact Bonds are often comparable to equity investments.

We all know that drinking alcohol behind the wheel is extremely dangerous. Likewise, we've all heard about the risks associated with texting while driving. But have you ever stopped to think about the hazards of eating on the road? Like other types of distractions, eating can take a driver's attention away from what is most important.
However, not all foods are created equal when it comes to posing a driving hazard. Here are seven of the riskiest:
- Hot coffee. Although it's difficult to imagine enduring Columbia's rush hour commute without a steaming cup of mocha, it's safer to do without. If hot liquid spills on your lap, it could cause you to swerve and crash.
- Barbeque. The sticky sauce on barbequed ribs or chicken tends to get all over. It's easy to get distracted while hunting in your glove compartment for napkins to wipe off the sticky residue.
- Tacos. Like other foods filled with an assortment of loose ingredients, tacos can be distractingly messy. It's hard to eat one behind the wheel without dropping bits of lettuce, chunks of tomato and other tidbits.
- Soup. This one should be self-evident. It's nearly impossible to drive while eating soup with a spoon. Plus, if the soup is hot, the drips and spills can be painfully distracting.
- Jelly donuts. The outside is sugary and sticky, while the inside is gooey and drippy. If that jelly filling drops on your shirt and you glance down to assess the damage, you could easily cause an accident.
- Chocolate. This one is a particular hazard in the summer. When it melts in the heat, you can count on a gooey – and distracting – mess.
- Fried chicken. All that grease can coat the steering wheel, the gear shift and everything else in the car. In the event you need to hurriedly turn the wheel to avoid another car, for instance, you may not be able to do so.
Of course, if you are ever injured by a careless or reckless driver, you probably won't care whether the other person was eating barbequed ribs, reading a text or fiddling with the radio. What will really matter to you is recovering full and fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
The good news is that any type of negligence can potentially be grounds for a personal injury claim. You do have rights – whether the accident was food-related or not.

Lynn Kanuka, SportMedBC's resident Olympian and RunWalk Coach, writes a weekly column exclusively for The Sun during the 13 weeks of training.
Week 11: Seek Inspiration in Your Pivotal Moments.I decided to run when I was in my last year of high school because I simply felt I needed to exercise on a regular basis. I grew up in Regina, Sask., and what possessed me to run one mile to the university and back in -20 C weather 30 years ago, I cannot explain. I guess it was my training program … or maybe it was my new pair of "North Star" running shoes — remember those, baby boomers? We've come a long way since then.
My pivotal moment came on the third day of my new program. When my dear dad came home from work just as I was bundling up to head outside, instead of asking me what the heck I was doing, he simply said, "Wait a minute … I'll come with you."
Wow! I knew my dad had been an athlete in his day, but I had never seen him run. He'd arrive home from work and have a cigarette and a rum and Coke with my mom while dinner was being made. (Both my mother and father no longer drink or smoke and they crossed the Sun Run finish line hand-in-hand a few years ago.)
So we huffed and puffed together out to the university, and my plan was to run to the "ski hill" and back. (The "ski hill" was actually the garbage dump covered with snow.) When we got there, dad said, "Well, we're all the way out here … you might as well run up and down that hill a couple times."
Instead of arguing, I actually did it, and so began my running career. Who knew I'd go on that year to be provincial cross-country champion, a prelude to my years to come as an Olympic athlete?
I'll never forget how supported and loved I felt that day. This "running thing" was something I was meant to do, and somehow, my dad knew it too.
We all have pivotal moments in our lives. Yours may not have anything to do with your running and walking, but it will definitely have to do with your strength and commitment to yourself and what is important to you.
Special to The Sun

| 10.8°C Belfast
Hull head coach Marco Silva is waiting to learn whether both new signings, Oumar Niasse and Evandro, will be available for his first Premier League game in charge on Saturday against Bournemouth.
Senegal international Niasse, 26, has joined on loan from Everton until the end of the season, while Hull paid Porto an undisclosed fee for Brazilian Evandro, 30.
The Tigers have yet to receive international clearance for Evandro, who has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal and teams back up with Silva after the pair worked together at Estoril.
"At this moment I don't know if they are available or not for the game tomorrow," said Silva, installed by the club last week after they had sacked Mike Phelan.
"It's possible, but we'll see. These are two players who have come to improve our squad in two positions we needed.
"Evandro's a smart, clever player. He's a creative midfielder who has come to help our team. He's an expressive player.
"He always tries to do things well, which is important. He's a very good professional.
"Niasse is a striker, a strong, fast player. He's not a normal number nine, always playing in a fixed position. "
Silva confirmed he was still looking to add to his squad in his bid to steer the Tigers off the foot of the table, starting with Saturday's visit of Bournemouth when they hope to end a nine-game league run without a win.
"I'm happy because we signed these two players and next week, maybe, we have more news," he said.
"It's important for the players, the club, for our fans also."
Silva refused to be drawn on the future of midfielder Robert Snodgrass or confirm whether West Ham had made an improved bid after an initial offer last week had been turned down.
"It's not the most important to talk about this," Silva said.
"I want the player focused on the game tomorrow, that's most important for me and for our team and our players.
"We've spoken of course, but at this moment he's our player and he's an important player for our team and for now there is nothing new.
"Snodgrass is a good player. He's had a good season, but he's our player. He's important for us."
Silva, who confirmed midfielder Markus Henriksen will be out for up to three months after injuring a shoulder in the midweek EFL Cup defeat at Manchester United, said he wanted to strengthen his defence and add at least one winger to his squad.
"If you pay attention, our squad is playing one system at this moment," he added.
"We don't have real, natural wingers in our squad and we're trying to add them to it. "
Niasse had fallen out of favour at Everton under Ronald Koeman and had made just seven appearances since arriving on Merseyside from Lokomotiv Moscow in a £13.5million deal in February last year.
Evandro featured in 41 games in his first two seasons for Porto after signing for an undisclosed fee from Estoril in the summer of 2014, but made his sole appearance in the current campaign as a late substitute in the Champions League draw in Copenhagen in November.

It's been almost two months since I updated my blog (awful, I know), and yet despite the radio silence I've had so much to share, but not all that much time to share it! I said to myself early this year that I had a feeling I would be spending a lot of time travelling in 2017, little did I know just how much traveling there would be. I'm not complaining in the slightest, it is one of the most fulfilling things to set foot on new soil, however with travel, means content and a lot of it! So frankly with shoots, projects and travel, the poor little blog was a little left behind…!!
As those who follow me on Instagram might remember, I recently spent a weekend in Barcelona (at end of March/beginning of April). I discovered so many cute spots in the city, that I wanted to share on a post, so I'm finally sitting down to do so!
If I am 100% honest, and honesty is always the best policy, there were some things about Barcelona that I loved and some that I wasn't as crazy about. The food was out of this world. If you love seafood, especially seafood cooked in a 100 different ways you could imagine, Barcelona will be your type of place. It had the most incredible eateries in general, places you have to stroll the streets to hunt for, which I absolutely adore doing. I'm not one to follow the crowd, I'd rather find a local hideout off the beaten track (Spots I will be sharing with you further below!).
The aspect I wasn't blown away by was the architecture. It felt like there was a mish-mash of old and new, but not in a consistent fashion. It was as though the modern buildings had been plonked wherever there was free space in the city, with some corners feeling almost deserted. I think a big contributing factor was the fact that having seen snippets of Gaudi's architecture before going, I was expecting the entire city to be over the top and colourful, like something out of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory haha! I mean, of course, the buildings designed by Gaudî were something special and this is all down to preference, it's not to say that the city is ugly at all. I have spoken to a number of people who loved the architecture and the city dynamic in general, I just guess I love colour a bit too much, so found the darker buildings a little tame for my palette.
Now let's get back to the amazing things to do in the city… With my city guides, I never know whether to basically write what I got up to in chronological order, or put together lists of tips. I guess for this post, since I visited quite a few weeks ago, I'll stick to the list of tips so you can take away some quick and easy spots to visit next time you're there!
Being a very hip and design-led city, there are a number of amazing spots you can make yourself at home. We opted for our own apartment in the heart of the city, by the University district, which was run by the company Destination BCN. I search for a lot of hotels via MrandMrsSmith.com or apartments through AirBnB as I find that both offer really cool options for different budgets and styles of hotels/apartments required.
We loved our apartment (Destination BCN are offering a huge discount at the moment as the building they're in is undergoing renovations, but we didn't have any noise problems or inconvenience during our stay, so it's a great bargain!)
I was also recommended a number of other places to stay in Barcelona, so here it goes:
Cotton House Hotel – Very Insta-friendly, I love the interiors. This hotel looks a real treat to stay in and a must-visit on your Barcelona list.
The W – One of the most famous hotels in Barcelona, it is situated at the end of the beach overlooking the coastline. For the more upmarket, modern hotel lovers out there, you won't be disappointed by the amazing views across the coast and city.
Casa Bonay – Another design-gem in Barcelona, which seems to have almost a Manhattan vibe. It's the brainchild of a group of creatives who wanted to offer a sort of social hub in the centre of the city. I'm sure it's a spot favoured by the locals thanks to it's cool interiors and rooftop bar.
This part of the guide is not an easy one, simply because of how many incredible places there are to dine in Barcelona. I can't explain how impressed I was by the food and restaurants you find in the city. The cuisine was nothing like the typical tapas you might find across Spain, it was so much more. The seafood was out of this world, the flavours just so different than anything I'd ever tasted, which says a lot coming from London where you have about every cuisine under the sun.
The best thing about restaurants in Barcelona is that you have to hunt them down. Ask for recommendations, get online and locate the best spots, then get walking. It's one of my favourite things when travelling, to get lost in a new neighbourhood, following a map trying to find this hole in the wall restaurant I've been told to visit.
Some of my favourite spots were as follows:
- B R U N C H – Tropico. This is an Instagrammers paradise (Ella, a blogger friend who was visiting Barcelona after me and took that recommendation would agree!). Pink smoothies and tropical plants, we munched on a delicious brunch, enjoying out eggs with a Barcelona twist. Highly recommended, but book in advance on the weekend!!
- L U N C H – Mescladis. This restaurant was a little colourful courtyard spot to enjoy a delicious lunch, though the food is more continental than Iberian (they do amazing hummus and empanadas) but it is a great spot nevertheless. Plus, it's located in a really cute neighbourhood not far from Barcelona's Cathedral.
- L U N C H – El Nacional. This place was hands down my favourite in Barcelona. It reminded me of Harrod's foodhall, with this retro vibe from maybe the art deco era. It's a multi-restaurant establishment with four different places to dine and four different bars, all offering a variety of Iberian specialities. It was just the most incredible place – DO NOT miss this if you are heading to Barcelona!
- L U N C H / D I N N E R – Somorrostro. We spent one afternoon strolling along the seaside and ended up in Barceloneta, a cute area by the sea. This seafood tapas place was recommended to us and was an absolute gem. The menu is literally a massive chalkboard the waiter brings over to you to pick from, with tapas dishes of the day. This is ideal for those of you who love your fish, seafood and plates with a flavourful twist.
- D I N N E R – 4 Gats. Another old style restaurant which I absolutely loved. It had live music and a real 20's vibe, clinking glasses and well dressed waiters in bowties (we dressed up but not all guests were in formal attire). Again, we were met with a menu of dishes I had never tried before and we drank some of the best wine I've had in a while.
- D I N N E R – Tickets. This place is one I was told to go to by a close friend whose boyfriend is a chef, however, before going to Barcelona I completely forgot and didn't get chance to book. I have been told it is out of this world. It's a real gastronomic experience, very experimental and like a real theatrical foodie night out – make sure to book in advance though!
- C O F F E E – Café Cometa. I usually end up on a wild goose chase at least once during every one of my holidays, making whoever I'm with go on a hunt into the most random area for some "place" I was recommended. Café Cometa was one of those hideouts and it turned out to be the cutest little local coffee spot in a really un-touristy neighbourhood in the city. Next door to it you can also find a bakery that makes delicious and colourful donuts! Yum!
There are a number of things to do in Barcelona, aside from eating your way through the city, which is basically what we did. Some of the other places we visited however were:
- M A R K E T – La Boqueria. This is Barcelona's central market where you can go and enjoy fresh juices, buy meat, dairy, fish, or just slide up to their tapas bars for a snack. Since it is just off La Rambla I would suggest going earlier in the day before it gets completely packed and impossible to walk through!
- P A R K – Park Güell. Set on the top of the city, this park was designed by Gaudi, as part of his larger construction plans for the city (which never materialised). It has stunning views across the city and amazing mosaic structures (including Gaudi's house), giving you a true grasp of his architectural style. Of course, in addition to Park Güell you can visit the other houses he designed which are located in the city centre, the most interesting I found was Casa Batllo.
- B E A C H – A nice part of the city is of course the beach front where you can get away from the busy streets and just enjoy a relaxed stroll. It is such a cool city in the fact that it has a little bit of everything, so if you are in need of some fresh air or fancy a dip in the sea, get down to the beach 🙂 Right near the beach is an area called Barceloneta with a few cute eateries, perfect for a lunchtime snack.
- C O N C E R T – Guitar concert. One of my favourite things in the whole world is Spanish guitar. I always wish classical guitar was the instrument I had studied at school (instead of piano, but oh well all instruments are beautiful!). Anyway I was desperate to go to guitar concert in Barcelona after going to one in Madrid a few years back and found one set in one of the city churches and the tickets were so cheap, only €19 each! This such a lovely experience, definitely add it to your list of things to do!
- C A T H E D R A L – Sagrada Familia. This is another one of Gaudi's masterpieces. The interior is a real feast for the eyes, and I would recommend either taking a guidebook or joining a tour because there are so many interesting aspects about the architecture that you'll miss out on unless someone shows you! We also booked our tickets in advance which saved us queuing 🙂
Hope you've enjoyed my tips and pics, thanks for reading as always. Wish you a fun trip to Barcelona whoever is planning to head there soon!!!

The Building
Starrett-Lehigh is an integral part of the emerging West Chelsea area, and is synonymous with innovation, inspiration and uncompromised creativity — if New York's most enterprising and talented were, like, a turtle, this building would totally be its shell. Wait, what?
Anyways, Starrett-Lehigh's A-list collection of local, national and internationally renowned designers, multimedia agencies, directors, photographers, artists and publishers find inspiration in the building's expansive, raw office space.
Encompassing a full city block between 11th and 12th Avenues and 26th and 27th Streets, Starrett-Lehigh is one of the largest buildings in Manhattan. Innovative in its design as well as its construction, Starrett-Lehigh is often considered one of the finer examples of International Style in architecture. Offering a dramatic demonstration of curtain wall construction, the building boasts eight miles of continuous glass in tall, steel-casement windows, alternating with bands of red brick and concrete spandrels.
Its modern and streamlined design prompted the Museum of Modern Art to include it in the 1932 International Exhibition of Modern Architecture. Starrett-Lehigh was declared a New York City landmark in 1986, and is part of the West Chelsea Historic District, designated in 2008.

This has been a huge pain in the butt, and I'm not sure why. I've got two other boxes I administer, running apache, and neither one has ever had trouble with named vhosts. But, for some reason, this box has just sucked. It would never recognize my NameVirtualHost statement.
I finally ended up scrapping my entire httpd.conf (and access.conf, and srm.conf (yes, this apache installation is old enough that when it was originally done, people still differentiated between the three files)). I slowly went through and built up a new one from scratch, and low and behold, it worked. I can't for the life of me see why the old one didn't, though. It was a crufty config file, but it should have worked.
Now that I have this going, I'm gonna have to get around to setting up all my domain names and getting them usable. I might shell out $50 to secondary.com and host the DNS on them, for simplicity. Well, that, and I trust them. (I know someone who works for them.) They provide quality service.

Readers' Choice Destination of the Year 2017: Santa Fe
This year's readers' choice winner for Travel + Leisure's Destination of the Year is Santa Fe, New Mexico, which earned 65 percent of the vote in an online survey. In second, with 14 percent of the vote, is Slovenia. In third place was Norway.
Steeped in the history of the American West, Santa Fe has long captured the imagination of artists and freethinkers, with its pueblo-style architecture and rugged landscapes. But a growing alternative arts scene — driven by the city's outré creative class — is giving newfound edge to the southwestern town.
This cultural renaissance is perhaps no more apparent than in the city's Siler Road District, where a peppering of small theater companies, live-work spaces for artists, and The Meow Wolf art complex have sprung up alongside auto-repair garages and metal shops. Meow Wolf's "House of Eternal Return" — an immersive, 22,000-square-foot art installation featuring secret rooms and interactive light displays — is arguably the neighborhood's hottest attraction.
Across the town in the city's Railyard District, the artist-led rebirth has given way to new galleries, restaurants, shops, independent art-movie houses (including the George R.R. Martin-owned Jean Cocteau Cinema), and a popular farmers' market. SITE Santa Fe, the nonprofit contemporary-art center widely credited with catalyzing the neighborhood's transformation 21 years ago, made headlines again this fall when it debuted a reimagined facility (complete with a pleated metallic façade and 1500 square-feet of gallery space) designed by New York City-based SHoP Architects.
The city's red-hot art scene is matched only by its fiery cuisine, renowned for its smoky red and green chiles grown in the southern part of the state. At Café Pasqual, a Santa Fe institution for more 40 years, locals and tourists endure long waits to sample mouth-watering Mexican eats like chile bison cheeseburgers quesadillas with long-simmered angus beef and chile de árbol sala. If your palette can't endure any more heat, check out Paper Dosa, where chef Paulraj Karuppasamy and his wife, Nellie Tischler, dish up South Indian cuisine and their eponymous specialty, a thin crêpe made from a fermented rice-and-lentil batter.
Nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo range, where it is surrounded by 1.5 million acres of unspoiled national forest, Santa Fe makes a great jumping-off point for exploring the area's mountainous terrains and stark desert landscapes. We'd recommend a hike through the Nambé Lake Recreation Area, just 25 miles outside the city, and home to the gushing Nambé Falls, one of the most spectacular natural waterfalls in the southwest. Considering Santa Fe enjoys some 320 days of sunshine per year, there's really no excuse for not hitting the great outdoors.
