Equity based crowdfunding - understanding what attracts investors
Kosonen, Taru (2016)
Pro gradu -tutkielma
Kosonen, Taru
Julkaisun pysyvä osoite on
Equity based crowdfunding, a form of alternative finance, has become a popular alternative for early stage financing, filling a funding gap in the financial ecosystem. The main objective of the research was to understand what attracts investors to equity based crowdfunding. The research includes an empirical study carried out in 2016. The study found that the motive to invest in equity based crowdfunding is a combination of intrinsic, social and financial motives. Equity based crowdfunding was most often perceived as a way of investing in a new asset class of emerging companies. Investors were not indifferent to financial motives, but social and intrinsic motives were more significant. Investors were found capable of identifying signals of quality and using them to evaluate potential ventures. Factors that increased investor interest the most were; human capital, relevant company information and product or service. The behavior of other investors, retail and professional, was less influential than signals of quality. Investors preferred platforms that invested in companies or offered extensive banking and financial services.

Back in November, I got the Portofino on sale with Express rewards, but accidentally forgot to put it on my budget post so I am including it here (oops). I also have two pairs of Rockstar Jeans from Old Navy that I am debating on keeping or returning (do they stretch out or keep their shape?) and a pair of riding boots from Macy's that may or may not be a shade too dark. If I decide to keep any of those I will include them on February's post.
I did get an amazing deal on the red blazer from Banana Republic Outlet (and teacher discount) over winter break. Red is typically a color I shy away from, but the fit was perfect and so was the price. I need to break out of my comfort color zone more anyway! I used a gift card I received for Christmas to replace my grey jeans. There were so many cute outfits I was seeing on pinterest with grey jeans, but I wasn't motivated to replicate them. It finally hit me that my grey jeans just didn't fit well and I wasn't a fan of the shade so I replaced them with a pair from Old Navy that fit much better! I wear my black pair of jeans from Old Navy at least once a week so I am thinking these will be worn quite a bit as well. DSW had a fabulous clearance sale and I had a $10 reward that was expiring so I found a pair of super cute and comfortable booties. They are perfect for my days off work. I was also lucky to have some great collaborations this month and scored pretty earrings, a blanket scarf, and a grey cardigan I had been wanting.
For next month I am still looking for a pair of burgundy heels. This pair from Lord & Taylor is very cute, but just a little higher than I'd like to pay. I am also on the hunt for a pair of darker (but not super dark) jeans. Like if it was a steak, I want medium-well. I just feel like if I want them to fit in the waist then they are loose in the ankles and visa versa. I've tried Express and the dark wash fits well, but the lighter colors are made of thinner fabric and stretch out (even if I size down). American Eagle doesn't fit tight in the ankle, and Old Navy seems to stretch out to much during the day, too. If you have recommendations, please share!

Avalon Embossing | Avalon
Avalon Embossing | Avalon
Looking for embossed printing services in Avalon area? Embossed Printing is an artistic technique which creates a pattern on a paper. The pattern can be raised or in relief, depending on how it is embossed. Many consumers interact with embossed items on a regular basis, ranging from embossed book covers to notarized documents.
There are a number of ways to embossed printing. Some artists emboss by hand, using hand held tools to stamp out a pattern in the material being embossed. This technique will create unique raised designs which cannot be replicated. Embossing of this style is often used for customized art projects, or when ordering an embossing die would seem impractical. Both dry and heat embossing techniques are used for hand embossing projects, depending on how the artist wants the finished piece to look. Our Full Color Printing Exceeds Customer Expectations for Online Printing Services. Whether a customer hands us a standard offset printing job, full color printing or a more complex custom printing project, Gold Image Printing always makes sure to provide quality graphic printing that satisfies and exceeds customer expectations for full color prints. Most of our products are also available through our digital printing press for short-run printing needs. At Gold Image Printing, our online printing service provides pre-press support to help customers properly setup their files and get accurate printing quotes, before going to press printing. We even provide free proofs at no additional cost. The results of our customer service are evident in the consistent quality of our four color printing and repeat business from clients.
Embossing represents a separate run through the press, usually, unless a die is designed to be inked. More commonly, printed materials are "blind embossed," meaning that they are embossed without the use of ink. When blind embossing is used, it is important to ensure that the embossing die is properly registered, so that it will mesh with the inked patterns which were produced first. Embossed Printing may also be used in paper making, to distinctively stamp individual sheets of paper so that they will be identifiable to consumers. Aside from color printing, Gold Image Printing offers small business marketing support services. We provide mailing services for postcard mailing, brochure mailing and other direct mail prints to help reach customers faster and avoid shipping charges and unnecessary stress in every city in Avalon County. Targeted list services such as brochure printing and canvas printing are available to help you identify new prospects and expand your current market.

Brian and Jenn Johnson are mainstays in the worship scene, having been worship pastors at Bethel Church for the last fifteen years. Over the last ten years, they have been at the forefront of the scene through Bethel music penning anthems such as "One Thing Remains (Your Love Never Fails)," "Forever" and "Love Came Down." After All These Years marks the first album in ten years for the duo, who co-wrote every song on the album, and tells the story of where they've come and where they are going. The album is stylistically a marked departure from their previous efforts as every track features a symphony orchestra mixed with their thoughtful lyrics.
The album opens up with "Mention of Your Name" and right off you can tell you're in for a special journey as Jenn croons, "You're here with the grace of the Savior and the heart of a Father, You're all we need," and the sounds of cheerful violins float in and out. It seems, in its almost prayer-like cadence, something off of an Audrey Assad album. Brian takes over for "Only Jesus," the plaintive cry of the chorus "Let my heart want for nothing but You, just You" becomes the focal point of the remainder of the album. Jenn is back for the third cut on the album, "Gravity," an opus that explores the boundless grace and love of our Father. It is also the first track that features instrumentation aside from the classical arrangements.
Brian fronts the fourth cut on the album, "I Won't Forget," a confessional track that every Christian can identify with: "You came in the night and tore down the wall's that held my broken heart, when all I could see lay ruined and scarred Your light shattered the dark." Brian continues lead duties with "Mercy and Majesty," the standout track of the album, as it ushers in such a worshipful atmosphere and is destined to be a great congregational song. On "Here I Bow," Jenn returns with another track that sounds primed to be a staple in Sunday mornings as lyrically the song is most reminiscent of their better known worship songs as the refrain, "So here I bow to lift You high, Jesus be glorified" is repeated and builds upon itself throughout the track. "Greater Than All Other Names" and "After All of These Years" are the trademark of the duo as the lyrics continue to foster a worshipful atmosphere backed by the happy sounds of the orchestra.
"You're Gonna Be OK" is the second to last track on the album and the one lone cut that deviates from the worshipful discourse of the remainder of the project. The lyrics focus on encouraging those who are struggling through a bad season in their lives: "I know it's all you've got to just be strong, and it's a fight to just keep it together, I know you think you are to far gone but hope is never lost." The emotive lyrical delivery that Jenn brings to the track is one of someone who's been there and has seen the other side of the mountain and knows what victories lie there, serving as a testimony for those who follow. The album closes with "For the One" and it's an important message of love, especially in the present social climate, "A love that erased all the lines and sees the truth."
The Johnsons do not disappoint in their latest offering as the years of leading and writing worship music lend a polish and depth that only years and experience can bring. The neoclassical arrangements give the music an artsy enough experience to impress the hipster culture as well as the casual music connoisseur. It is a worshipful experience that is well worth the journey and has me excited about the worship music scene.- Review date: 4/3/17, written by Matthew Baldwin of Jesusfreakhideout.com

Route of the A59 road across Northern England
A dual-carriageway stretch of A59 near Clitheroe
|Route information
|Maintained by

Liverpool City Council
North Yorkshire County Council
Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council
York City Council
|109 mi[1] (175 km)
|1936 (designated the A59)
|Major junctions
|West end
|East end
|Merseyside, Lancashire, North Yorkshire
|Road network
The A59 is a major road in England which is around 109 miles (175 km) long and runs from Wallasey, Merseyside to York, North Yorkshire. The alignment formed part of the Trunk Roads Act 1936, being then designated as the A59. It is a key route connecting Merseyside at the M53 motorway to Yorkshire, passing through three counties and connecting to various major motorways. The road is a combination of historical routes combined with contemporary roads and a mixture of dual and single carriageway. Sections of the A59 in Yorkshire closely follow the routes of Roman roads, some dating back to the Middle Ages as salt roads, whilst much of the A59 in Merseyside follows Victorian routes which are largely unchanged to the present day.
Numerous bypasses have been constructed throughout the 20th century, one of the earliest being the Maghull bypass in the early 1930s, particularly where traffic through towns was congested. Portions of the route through Lancashire were proposed to be upgraded to motorway standard during the mid-20th century, latterly being downgraded to significant improvements then ultimately withdrawn from consideration. Sections of the road have previously been noted as being amongst the most dangerous in the country, particularly in Yorkshire, despite continued efforts to improve road safety.
The A59 starts in Wallasey at the northern end of the M53 motorway and heading through the Kingsway Tunnel. In the centre of Liverpool, a separate 0.7 miles (1.1 km) spur heads north from the roundabout junction at the entrance of the Queensway Tunnel, joining the main route at Scotland Road in Vauxhall. It continues north through Kirkdale and Walton, passing Aintree Racecourse and Ormskirk Road (forming the boundary between Aintree and Netherton), before reaching Switch Island junction where it meets the A5036, M57 motorway and the M58 motorway. From Switch Island, the A59 travels through Maghull and Lydiate, into Lancashire through Aughton and thence to Ormskirk, closely following the Merseyrail Northern Line path.
At Ormskirk, it reverts from a dual to single carriageway on an old bypass. The road follows through Burscough and Rufford, despite a bypass being considered for this section in the early 1980s,[2] before reaching the A565 at Tarleton. The road continues over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and River Douglas through to Longton (and Hutton) bypass, where it returns to dual carriageway. Passing Lancashire Police HQ, the road bypasses Penwortham and continues across the River Ribble into Preston, by-passing the city centre via Ring Way, where the A583 from Blackpool converges. It briefly merges with the A6 before heading East and meeting the M6 at junction 31, after which the road splits into two separate carriageways until it meets the A677 for Blackburn.
The A59 continues through Myerscough Smithy then runs around the perimeter of Samlesbury Aerodrome (a British Aerospace installation). As Longsight Road, it passes through Salesbury until meeting A666, at which point it bypasses Billington, Whalley and Clitheroe before going through the village of Gisburn.
From Horton it enters North Yorkshire and goes through West and East Marton before meeting the A56, after which the road passes Broughton. Past Broughton, the road meets the Skipton bypass at its western end, where it overlaps the A65 on its route between Kendal and Leeds, de-merging with the A65 further to the east. The road continues over the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway through a roundabout junction with the B6160 before rising up Beamsley hill. At the top of the hill, the road crosses into the Harrogate district, at which points there is a long narrow, twisting descent, known as Kex Gill, that leads to Blubberhouses village.
The A59 then runs along the head of Fewston Reservoir and follows the route of a Roman road past the 'golf balls' at Menwith Hill, an RAF station. As Skipton Road, the A59 then declines towards Harrogate passing Kettlesing. Reaching Harrogate as Skipton Road, it meets the A61 Ripon Road for Ripon, Harrogate town centre and Leeds, before continuing through the suburbs of the town as Skipton Road. This section of the A59 is widely considered to be one of the busiest roads in North Yorkshire. Part of this section travels across the Stray, an act-protected tract of grassy land which horseshoes around the town centre. The A59 then turns left at the Empress Roundabout, which is itself on the Stray, towards Starbeck, although traffic travelling towards York is directed onto the A661 Wetherby Road to utilise the A658 Harrogate and Knaresborough Southern Bypass. The A59, however, continues to travel through Starbeck as Knaresborough Road and later High Street, then heads east to Knaresborough, passing through the town centre before heading towards York as York Road.
The remainder of the route is comparatively flat. From Knaresborough, the A59 meets up with York-directed traffic from Harrogate on the A658, and skirts to the north of Goldsborough towards the A1(M). The A59 heads towards York, travelling close to such places as Nun Monkton, Moor Monkton and Upper Poppleton before finally ending just to the west of the city walls at a zebra crossing at the junction of Bishopthorpe Road and Nunnery Lane, the A1036.
Early history
The A59 in Yorkshire from Green Hammerton to York follows the path of an old Roman road known locally as Watling Street and may in Medieval times have been used as a salt road.[3] Archaeological digging in 2008 showed the Roman road crossing the River Nidd on an old county bridge prior to diverging north-east of Green Hammerton, contrary to previous understanding of the route.[4] Evidence of ditches earlier than the Roman conquest of Britain were also uncovered during the archaeological dig in 2008, suggesting a road network present in the area dating back to the Iron Age.[5]
19th century
Much of the present-day Merseyside alignment is unchanged over the last century, with the route through Liverpool to Switch Island junction in Aintree utilising existing road infrastructure from the Victorian era, such as Scotland Road.[6] The present day alignment between Switch Island junction and Aughton, Lancashire via Maghull was non-existent prior to the 20th century, with the connecting roads being typically smaller lanes which still exist today. The A59's Ormskirk junction with the B5195 Turnpike Road is where the A59's continues along its Victorian alignment, known as Hollborn Hill before continuing through Ormskirk and West Lancashire.[7] In Clitheroe district prior to the opening of the new Chatburn road in 1827[8] the main Liverpool / Skipton route ran through Clitheroe town via Whalley road and Pimlico over the limestone ridge of Chatburn Old road.[9]
20th century
The route from Liverpool to Leeds via Preston was one of many roads across the country to be designated a trunk road in the Trunk Roads Act 1936, being given the designation A59 and encompassing the alignment from Liverpool to Skipton.[10] The route fell within the first schedule of the act, which also included around 4,460 miles (7,180 km) of road to be trunked and designated.[11]
This century saw the vast majority of the A59's bypasses constructed, some of which were built before trunking, including a bypass of Ormskirk town centre in Lancashire, which appeared on maps from 1929 onwards as "Byepass Road" and subsequently forming the A59.[12] Numerous additional bypasses were built after the road was trunked, to realign the A59 away from routes where it may have previously travelled through busy towns and cities. One of the earliest examples is in Lancashire with the Longton Bypass, which was constructed during 1956–57 at an estimated cost of £491,000 (equivalent to £12,350,000 in 2019).[13] Prior to the bypass, the A59 travelled through the villages of Walmer Bridge, Longton and Hutton before being realigned to their east.[14]
In Yorkshire at Beamsley Hill, there are two lanes east-bound (on an incline) and a single lane west-bound, some of which was improved at various points during the late 20th century, such as in Hazlewood, where the A59 was rerouted to become a largely straight road, bypassing the now older winding route which exists to its north-west.[15] The A59 was also rerouted just to the east of the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway during the same period, requiring construction of a new Bolton Bridge over the River Wharfe, with the former alignment now forming a bridleway.[16]
Up until the early 1970s, the start of the A59 was in the centre of Liverpool; this now forms a small spur connecting to the present day A59, which runs through the Kingsway Tunnel from its start point in Wallasey. The Birkenhead alignment of the A59 utilises a disused railway cutting to link the road up to the M53 motorway.[17][18] In Lancashire, the A59 was realigned[19] during the same period in the early 1970s, to bypass the towns of Clitheroe and Whalley and was constructed as a single-carriageway despite parliamentary concerns that it would be less safe than a dual-carriageway.[20] The bypass had been confirmed the year before at an estimated cost of £3.4 million (equivalent to £56,372,349 in 2019).[21]
The A59 stretch of the Skipton Bypass was opened in 1981 at an estimated cost of £16.4 million (equivalent to £63,322,699 in 2019),[22] crossing the B6265 north of the town and providing relief to traffic congestion.[23] The A59 was upgraded to primary status during the 1990s due to its increased perceived importance as an east–west route.[citation needed] This stretch of the route was claimed in 2004 to be one of the busiest roads in North Yorkshire.[24]
Whilst now skirting to the north of Goldsborough towards the A1(M), originally the route went through the village of Flaxby and onto Allerton, but the route now travels a restricted east–west route and meets the A1(M) at its junction 47. The road originally ended to the south of Green Hammerton, with the A66 routed down from Boroughbridge and going into York.[citation needed]
Bypass improvements
The A59 in Yorkshire was part of North Yorkshire's 30 year transport plan in 2016, including maintenance of potholes and resurfacing works, as well as the potential construction of new routes.[25]
Numerous sections of the route have been realigned at various stages, particularly where the previous alignment had travelled through busy villages or towns. Most have been constructed since the route was trunked and designated the A59, however some parts, such as the Maghull bypass, had been constructed prior to the Trunk Roads Act 1936.

A bypass has been proposed for the Kex Gill section of road that spans from Blubberhouses to the top of Beamsley Hill. The road has been closed on many occasions since 2010 (particularly in 2016 when it was closed for 8 weeks for emergency repair work). It was closed again due to a landslip in May 2018 and local planners have stated that a new section of road should be built to the north of the current route on the other side of a very small and narrow valley.[32][33] North Yorkshire County Council have stated that they will start to construct the £30 million bypass in spring 2020. At the same time, they revealed that the closure and repairs bill for the section of the A59 at Kex gill was over £3 million for the period of 2009–2018.[34] Plans for a 2.5-mile (4 km) bypass were submitted in December 2019, with the cost expected to be around £43.7 million.[35]
Motorway proposals
A bypass road for Ormskirk and Burscough respectively was first proposed as part of James Drake's 1949 Road Plan for Lancashire, described as an all-purpose road but later considered to be a potential motorway by 1958 and given the designation of A59(M). By 1963, Lancashire County Council had dropped the plans for a motorway of this nature,[36] instead deciding to focus later efforts during the mid-1970s on proposing a scheme to improve the A59 link between Liverpool and Preston. This proposal was at the time considered to potentially become the M59 Motorway, with investigations into all practical options being considered,[37] however the motorway was ultimately never constructed. A map published by Lancashire County Council and dated 1974 shows the suggested route of the motorway, starting at the missing M58 motorway junction 2 and continuing north-bound towards Blackpool along the alignment of the A59.[38]
Road safety
The A59 has persistently featured in the top 10 most dangerous roads in Britain.[39] A report by The Sunday Times in 2004 branded a section of road between the towns of Skipton and Harrogate as being "the most hazardous primary route in the nation", suggesting that the cost to implement safety measures to reduce the number of incidents could be in the region of £3 million. North Yorkshire County Council claimed they were taking steps to reduce fatalities on the road and that accidents on the stretch in question was still too high, despite the number of accidents in 2003 being at its lowest in six years.[40] The newspaper had also reported on the lives of those who have lost loved ones on the road.[41]
In 2008 European Road Assessment Programme reported the risk of being involved in a death or disabling injury accident as being between Low-medium and Medium-high depending on the section of road travelled.[42] There were renewed calls in 2017 to improve the A59 in Ribble Valley, Lancashire, with MP Nigel Evans describing the A59 as a "dangerous road" whilst requesting the police carry out a full audit of accidents in an effort to tackle the problem.[43] A proposal to improve safety of the road between Skipton and Harrogate, which is the only direct route between the towns, was discussed by councillors in March 2017. Numerous possible re-alignments are being considered in an effort to minimize or eradicate the impact of road closures, which has cost the council almost £1 million.[44]

All iPhone users would like to update their device often. On updating latest iOS 9 version in iPhone and iPad the users have found some issues like 3G/LTE, WIFI not working and one among this issues is iCloud backup not working after upgrading iOS to iOS 9 version. To overcome this issue, we are going discuss some possible fix in this article.
Fix 1 : Sign out iCloud account and sign in back
In some case there may be a bug in the iPhone, which can be fixed by simple sign out and signing in back again. This can solve the problem without any trouble. It is a simple trick and if does not work we can further move on to other possible fixes.
Fix 2 : Resetting Network Settings
- We can select settings-> General option.
- By scrolling to the bottom click Reset -> Reset Network Settings, found as third option in the menu
- To reset it ask for passcode feed it and confirm.
This fix can work if there is a problem in settings, if it doesn't work we can go for another fix related to this issue.
Fix 3 : Deleting Older iCloud Backups
- We can select settings -> iCloud .
- From the menu that appears select storage -> Manage Storage option.
- We get the list of our backup from which we can select and delete, those we do not want -> select Delete Backup.
This can solve the issue if we are getting "not enough storage" errors and if the problem still continues then check if any new iOS update is available.
Fix 4 : Disable automatic backup of few apps
Although we have enough free space in iCloud, we may face problem in backing up iPhone. It is because of the size of apps that we backup. We can disable few apps that we backup by the following steps.
- We can select Settings app -> iCloud.
- From the menu that appears select Storage -> Manage storage.
- We can notice list of apps and their size under the DOCUMENTS & DATA.
- If we wish to turnoff the app that are not important and also occupies heavy storage space, we have to go back to iCloud and select iCloud drive ->Turn off the app that is not needed.
- After disabling the app we can go back to iCloud settings -> select Photos
- From the menu that appears turn off iCloud photo Library, My Photostream and iCloud Photo Sharing, which will delete all shared photos from our iPhone.
Fix 5 : Update to iOS 9.0.2 or new version
The minor bug fixes are overcome in the new updates of the iOS version 9.0.1 and 9.0.2. We can update to the latest version in order to fix the issues. To do so we can select, settings -> General -> Software Update and install the latest iOS 9.0.2. This Upgrade will resolve the iCloud issue for sure as it is mentioned that the iCloud issue has been fixed in the new update.
Fix 6 : Factory Resetting iPhone
We can go for this option if updating software also is not working but before doing so we have to backup iPhone using iTunes. In order to reset iPhone device,
- We have to select settings->General.
- From the menu that appears scroll down to bottom select Reset -> "Erase all content and settings".
- It may ask for passcode to confirm, enter the passcode and reset the process.
If you knew any other solution to solve "iCloud backup not working after iOS 9 upgrade" inform us via comment.

With the exception of stores in a handful of states, tax filers at Jackson Hewitt stores will be able to get a small advance on their federal refund in 2015.
Online, Jackson Hewitt says that those with a refund due of at least $1,000 can potentially qualify for a $200 advance. I say potentially because it does appear that the company intends to vet their applicants. At our local store, though, the story was slightly different. The refund has now grown to $500 with the condition that approved filers are due at least $1,500.
Until this recent change, Jackson Hewitt's advance was only a fraction of the sum available at the independent preparers who had signed up to work with Refundo. Refundo's advance is $500. But of note, Jackson Hewitt is claiming a quicker turnaround. Our local store said that the $500 could be available in just three to four hours.
Online disclosures purport that 1st Money Center is the actual offeror of the loan.
As is the case with Refundo's advance, 1st Money says that their loan bears no interest or fees. I could not verify that with the company, as their only point of contact asks for the caller's social security number upon answering. I do see that they offer car title loans, single payment loans, installment loans, lines of credit, and instant cash advance.
Proceeds from the refund must be loaded on to a JH Preferred Prepaid VISA Card.
Show Me the Money. Show Me the Big Money
I find it curious that a small Texas company, operating out of a 3rd floor suite in an office building on the outskirts of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, can cash flow advances of $500 to tens of thousands of people.
Oh, and about that building....Here is a picture:
A local realtor refers to this site as the Bank of Texas Building.
There is a larger point here - and one that matters even if Bank of Texas has no relationship with 1st Money Center. The fact is, all of that capital has to come from somewhere. Could there be a relationship between these advances and one of the largest banks in the Southwest? Hard to say. I am willing to give Bank of Texas the benefit of the doubt. I have no problem with thinking that it is a bank's name that adorns the outside of a building that is pushing out refund advances to customers of one of the nation's largest tax preparation chains.
But as it is now, something does not add up. How can such a small firm provide so many dollars to so many people during a period of about six weeks? 1st Money Center cannot source brokered deposits. It cannot draw from the discount window. There is another player here. The RAL is no longer a bank product, but somewhere, there is a bank involved in the process.
Where is all of this cash coming from?

I define self-awareness as the knowledge of one's own strengths, weaknesses and impact others. Some management gurus take this concept to a mystical extreme. I don't claim guru status, and I don't think that mystical methods are necessary to develop leadership skills. I do, however, support self-awareness (my definition) as a key factor in a manager's success and effectiveness.

For most employees, getting a new boss is not a good thing. Just when they have the old boss "trained," a new boss comes in on a mission to make an impact. After all, if the new boss doesn't change anything, why do you need a new boss…right?
