A community enterprise corp for Ontario? A response
MaRS has recently launched a White Paper on Legislative Innovation that is proposing that Ontario create a new legal form to hold activities that would be undertaken by what we would call a social enterprise or perhaps a social purpose business. They are using the term Community Enterprise. This is builds on Stacey Corriveau and Richard Bridge's piece on Legislative Innovation for Canada.
These are both important contributions to a conversation that continues to emerge in this country. However, before we come up with a new legal form, I think that it is worth looking at the forces at play that would make one want to put so much time into this space. I guess that there is a part of me that would love to see all of this energy actually put into creating social enterprises. Perhaps this is an enabling condition. I guess that this is the question.
Arguments include:
1. Access to capital - Well, given that I have been attempting to raise $6m in under 6 months to buy a building as a nonprofit organization, I have a lot of opinions about this topic - but they would take a series of blog posts and I am only doing that once I have the money in hand :). I will say that money follows good ideas no matter what their legal form. Would it be nice to have access to more money? Of course. I would like to see tax credits for social enterprise, a PRI that would actually make sense and work in this country. My concern is that in the UK, it sounds as though the CIC hasn't been terribly effective in raising capital because the government failed to attach the tax incentives to the model. To me this is key. What we need is the ability to attract new dollars to the sector. Tax incentives that do this could easily be implemented in a way that supports investment in current non-profit legal forms.
My brother-in-law, an investment banker in BC and Paul Martin, former Prime Minister, have both suggested that social enterprise should have something akin to the mining exploration tax credit which actually creates a generous tax benefit for those that are investing in high risk social benefit investments. I would love to see more policy thinking and research going into this.
One of the things that I have learned in the last 8 weeks is that it is all about risk. As an entrepreneur, I don't see the risk the way that investors do, but they sure want their money back :) I think that we have to grapple with this issue as a part of the access to capital item. If forming a new legal form will help this, that's helpful. But it's not clear that this will be the outcome.
2. Simplicity of Legal Form - there is a sense that in order to do what we need to do, especially as charities, that we need to contort ourselves into various forms and confusions in order to operate a social enterprise. The administration of managing these contortions is cumbersome. There is some truth to this. But I will also say that business does this all the time. They often have holding company after holding company. There are whole industries constructed to help us make sense of how we can structure a deal and they can be intensely complex.
One of the things that I don't feel has been adequately explored is the role that the nonprofit legal form plays in all of this. Certainly, charities have restrictions and given the tax benefit that they offer to donors, this makes sense. However, I have found the nonprofit legal form in Ontario to be flexible, to offer the marketing benefit, to be able to attract many types of grants and to enable us to deliver on our public benefit. It only costs $135 to create, you need 3 volunteer directors and you are good to go. Nonprofits can issue debt, can buy buildings, have a buit in asset lock, can issue community bonds, can own an equity issuing for-profit and are required to deliver on their social mission. I wonder if the lack of a non-profit legal form of this nature in the US and UK was made them feel the need to create CIC and LLCs? Maybe we're already sitting on the solution -- using our existing Ontario non-profit legal form as the basis for social enterprise.
Now, I will say that I am coming from a nonprofit perspective. Were we a social purpose business, I think that I would tend toward the voluntary 'B Corp' model because it is rigorous, offers me access to an exclusive club, has great brand recognition well beyond we policy geeks and means that I have the full flexibility of a regular business. I guess that it calls us back to what problem we are trying to solve.
3. Pressure from the regulator - now this is a big one. And for this issue alone, it may be worth investing our time and energy into a new legal form. However, the specifics of the strategy matter. It is increasingly clear that the Finance Department has gotten wind of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship and they are coming down on it. They don't understand what it is and they seem to be looking for ways to prevent anything that might look like profit. This calls into question the fundamental role of government.
Government has been downloading or neglecting service delivery into the nonprofit sector: services that they should have been delivering. Then they starting reducing funding without decreasing the demand for services. Then they say that we aren't accountable. They increase the pressure to fill in forms. And then, when we come up with new ways to generate revenue to cover those costs, they say we aren't allowed to intend to generate a surplus even if that surplus is simply meant as a buffer against financial uncertainty. Any non-profit (or for-profit!) organization in the world knows that it is the sign of a good and healthy organization to save a bit for a rainy day. The relationship between CRA and the nonprofit sector is bordering on the absurd when we start seeing this in the sector. (Several blog posts have been done on this and the work of ONN is key to this.)
Yesterday, the Speech from the Throne talks about removing red tape to enable charitable and community based innovation. This is a great great sign. Let's hope that one department is talking to the other department and that it gets turned into action.
A couple of questions about the MaRS recommendations for a new CEC. Would it be a tax paying entity? Would it be able to apply for grants that are currently available to the nonprofit sector? These are critical questions that go to the core of what it means to be a non-profit now in Ontario. Or would it be ideally suited to give credibiltiy to those that would otherwise become for-profits? Who is this meant for?
My recommendation is that we take a wholistic approach to legislative innovation. It is challenging to create a new legal form without being clear about the impact that it will have on the wider sector. When we look at enabling social enterprise or community enterprise, I would like to see it not with a comparison to the UK and UK, but rather in comparison to what we already have and with a look at what we can already do. I am not against a new legal form. It could be exactly what we need. But I worry about more confusion, more delays, more red tape and less action.
My other recommendation is that we focus urgently on building social enterprise skills and opportunities. For example, we could have a national social enterprise program modeled after the Federal self-employment development initiative to pay the salaries of social entreprenuers for up to a year as they start their social venture - regardless of nonprofit or for profit. Or, we could have something like Ontario's old Environmental Youth Corp program, where young social entrepreneurs could be paid to work with nonprofits and charities to begin revenue generating businesses and to help transform the cultures of these older organizations. Approaches like these could attract new talent into our social benefit sector. And, they could start immediately, without the creation of a new legal form.
The social enterprise space is emerging and evolving. New legal forms may need be part of this, or they may not. The point is that we need to look at the big picture -- and the points of biggest leverage -- before we push ahead on specific projects. And we need to think carefully about the implications of the paths we choose.

Social innovation is deeper than funding.
Glad to see this debate in public.
From the entrepreneurial perspective, of course we can make do with whatever legal structure exists. By definition, entrepreneurs are people that make something happen with whatever they happen to have. This however does not mean that what we have is sufficient or that work to create a new structure is not a productive use of resources.
Some of the deepest forms of social innovation come from changing the structures of our society. If we look at our current legal structures which are oriented around either profit (for/non) or ownership (co-op/LP) it's not too difficult to see how they've shaped organizational cultures and sectoral mindsets.
Fundamentally, the conversation around legal frameworks is much more than than an effort to find ways to raise more money. It is a conversation about the very purpose of organization.
As an entrepreneur, I don't have the stomach to push this stuff forward, but I have come to respect and be thankful for the work of those that do. They are taking a step back and pursue social innovation at a structural level, pushing past incrementalism and investing in fundamental change. And, with where we find ourselves in 2010, we need everything everyone can give and then some.

focusing on market solutions....
Tonya, Liz, Tim, et al,
This is an important discussion… but the discussion of a hybrid model as presented by MaRS White Paper, Stacey and others keeps addressing an "answer" to what I think Tonya has asked the right issue: "what is the question"? Can someone tell me about at least three actual examples where the current options did not provide a good option of incorporation? Or examples of where a hybrid would have actually offered a better solution? Isn't it always part of business plan, for profit or not for profit, an issue to answer the tough question of the best and most appropriate business incorporation model to address investment options, return on investment goals, where business and mission objectives are blended? Tim points to all the options that are available now, (for-profits, co-operatives, non-profits, trusts, etc.) how does adding another option solve the questions?
Tim actually gets closer to the real issue; we need a comprehensive framework to support social enterprise. I would suggest more energy be spent on how do we increase social purchasing by private, public and non-profit organizations? If we could direct significantly more purchasing to social enterprise the market demand would create a market situation that would likely remove issues of incorporation to addressing real issues of production and fulfillment. Or how about access to investor tax credits that other business sectors have access to, that will change the investment options and return to investors, regardless of the incorporation model. Let's examine what are the real risk factors we are trying to mitigate, the business skills we need to develop in the non-profit sector, the optimal investment opportunities, and market development challenges before we come to conclusions on a hybrid answer that, at best, may be only a piece of the puzzle, not an overriding solution, to the challenges and opportunities of social enterprise development.

During the last 30 years
Good day
WOW thanks Tonya for your blog... and others for commenting.
This blog brings some clearity. I have been supporting social enterprise development in Ontario and in different part of Canada for the last 30 years. Any group I was working with, never had problem to find the right legal structure to create their social enterprise... I was one of the lucky one who went to Scotland and Australia for the 1st and 2nd Social Enterprise World Forum, and since some canadians were promoting some new structures - I consulted some key people there - I won't write everything I learned from theses discussions but simply - it seems no matter if they created a new structure it is still not as popular at they were thinking it would be. Maybe I did not understand well and I don't know all the reasons as well!
also when I explained the Canadian context and legal opportunities for social enterprises - they were the first one saying " you do have many options in Canada to start social enterprise"...
and I am sorry but I am agreeing with David, the major issues right now it is market opportunities but also: technical assistance(having more intermediaries who can provide professionnal technical assistance), capacity building (training & education), adequate and various funding and financing mechanisms (including investors tax credit), public policies at all level governments (municipal, provincial and federal) and finally movement - networking amongst social enterprises, promoters, intermediaries, funders and investors, etc...
Finally, I know some will say AGAIN THE QUEBEC EXPERIENCE but please ... try to answer: How come in quebec it flourish so well and so fast???
well... just look where the movement is investing its time?
Sorry for my bad English... and Non I am not from Quebec - I am from Ontario!

Shaping the regs and tools we need to succeed
Thanks Tonya for blogging about legal forms and what they need to be truly effective for social entrepreneurs.
Thanks too for bringing to everyone's attention the federal government's recognition of some of our pressing concerns.
Throne speeches are by their nature telegraphic. Last week's signals that there is important opportunity for us to advance our enterprising non-profit agenda for an enabling regulatory regime. People should check out Al Etmanski's blog on the topic. (http://www.planinstitute.ca/blogs/aetmanski/ottawa_throne_speech_faint_h...) As the catalyst for Canada's latest social finance innovation, the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), Al is an insightful commentator on national policy trends.
I have to admit that I do not understand your comment on the hybrid forms that you "would love to see all of this energy actually put into creating social enterprises."
As I see it, the discussion of a specific notion of a CEC or a CIC or L3C is really just a small part of a much broader canvas of the need to get our regulatory house in order (simplifying things and removing barriers) and properly aligning fiscal incentives for our work.
Having said that, the debate and promotion about new legal forms has many salutary benefits. It:
• Raises knowledge and understanding among social entrepreneurs (launched and budding) about how to choose among the existing legal forms (charity, non-charity non-profit, for-profit subsidiary, trust, etc. etc.) When I think about what is taking up energy, I think about the time I spend helping people sort through the existing awkward institutional forms and how to choose the lesser of evils. Deficient options too often force people to cope by either a) using duct tape and overly complex institutional design or b) carrying on "as is" even though the enterprising practitioners discover that they aren't compliant (as a charity with CRA Charities Division's earned income rules or as a non-profit with CRA's non-profit "profit" rules). Anecdotal evidence suggests non-compliance might exceed one-quarter of non-profits' enterprising activities.
• Sharpens our community's thinking on what would be desirable; this is assuming (and I do) that we can shape our environment as our movement grows and develops clout.
• Focuses attention on the dysfunctionality of Canada's charity regime and the pressing need for reform
• Opens up an important dialogue with government and business on the emergence of the hybrid space that breaks out of the bi-polar world of "non-profit" and "for-profit".
This is a really exciting time for our sector and society. Especially as non-profits gain confidence about how, as Richard Steckel says, they can improve their brain and brawn (their enterprising prowess) without damaging their heart (social mission). To me it seems that the future portends an evolution of institutional forms and their diversity.
The future pathway will boast new incorporation models flexibly responding to evolving needs as we experiment with new forms of partnership arrangements within the public benefit sector (charities, non-profits, socials enterprises, co-ops, social economy entities, foundations, charitable trusts, etc) and outside working with entities of the private sector and government.
Do hybrids pervert capitalism?
South of the border this discussion is getting bizarre: Rush Limbaugh complains about the US hybrid, the L3C or Low Profit Limited Liability Company. He says that the L3C was designed by "wackos…to pervert capitalism. It is to corrupt the private sector and to change the mission."
I look forward to continuing our more informed Canadian dialogue about how we shape institutional instruments, like hybrids, to advance sustainable community well-being.

Legislative Innovations
For those that have not had time to read the white paper, this may be helpful
Legislative Innovations.
MaRS has launched a series of white papers related to promoting social entrepreneurship in Ontario and enabling solutions to complex social problems.
The first white paper was focused on Social Venture Finance http://www.marsdd.com/buzz/reports/socialventurefinance and the latest one is on Legislative Innovations http://www.marsdd.com/buzz/reports/sociallegal. This blog details the content of the Legislative Innovations white paper.
This white paper was prepared by MaRS and Ogilvy Renault LLP with the primary objective to increase capital directed at the community for delivering social and/or environmental benefits and two secondary objectives, to simplify and clarify the legal structures and permitted activities by creating a new form of legal vehicle and to provide a brand for social enterprise, social finance and community benefit, thus providing legitimacy and enhanced profile for such activities.
Federally and in Ontario, there is currently no legal definition of a Social Venture, Social Enterprise or Community Enterprise and those social entrepreneurs operating social ventures have set up under a variety of different legal forms to accomplish their missions.
For MaRS, social ventures include both non-profit, revenue generating social enterprises and for-profit, social purposes businesses.
For this white paper, we recommend the use of the term Community Enterprise for ventures that achieve their primary social or environmental missions using business methods by applying market-based strategies to address social problems. This definition is based on the work of Richard Bridge and Stacey Corriveau for the BC Centre for Social Enterprise: Legislative Innovations and Social Enterprise: Structural Lessons for Canada. February 2009 www.centreforsocialenterprise.com/f/Legislative_Innovations_and_Social_E...
In order to examine what could be, we start by examining what is and outline the current legal structure in Ontario and Canada: for-profit corporations, not-for-profit corporations, co-operative corporations and registered charities. It's a great primer for those new to the field and a wonderful refresher for the rest of us.
We also explore issues related to the use of a business trust as an intermediary. One of the many workarounds used by those trying to make money and make a difference.
The paper then addresses the rationale for choosing which legal structure is best for your purpose by asking the entrepreneur to consider what is the underlying nature and intent of profit-making activities of the operation and what will the profits be used for?
We then break down the answers to this question and considers the pros and cons of each structure based on the intention to make profit. There is a terrific summary on the limits of each structure particularly as it comes to generating income. It outlines the challenges faced by many and the risks to tax-exempt status if you actually make a profit. For example, a NFP could lose the tax-exempt status if the "accumulated profits are beyond what CRA believes is required to operate the NFP or if such accumulated profits are for the purpose of funding future capital projects". Although social entrepreneurs can "find a way around" these challenges, they shouldn't have to – we want to design a system that actually encourages people to make money and make a difference.
There are several pending updates to legislation in Ontario and Canada, which is then outlined along with what is expected and one such change that has already happened since the publication of this paper. Thanks to the efforts of our colleagues at Imagine Canada the disbursement quota for charities was recently lifted in the federal budget, an absolute step in the right direction.
We then look to the UK, who has been operating Community Interest Companies since 2005 – there are about 3,500 currently in operation. We see this as a great opportunity to learn from our colleagues there; what worked and what didn't. We have done this before, bringing thought leaders from both the UK and the US to Ontario to outline their experience so we can learn from it and accelerate our learning in Canada. http://www.marsdd.com/socialfinanceforum.
Let's be clear, this is not an importation of the UK system, in fact there are many differences - for example, the UK has a "destination test" to determine where the profits will be directed from the revenue generating activities of charities, something we don't enjoy in Canada - but rather an attempt to bring the best practices to our social entrepreneurs, modified to meet our needs and reflecting the Canadian experience.
We do the same thing with the US discussing both Low profit limited liability Corporations (L3C) and B Corporations.
For people interested in B Corporations – think a set of ISO standards for social purpose ventures – please join us on April 1, 2010 as the Sustainability Leadership Exchange (SLX), MaRS and several other partners, bring Jay Coen Gibert, B Corporation founder, to MaRS. http://www.marsdd.com/events/details.html?uuid=b8238ed8-563b-4758-9737-7...
The paper then discusses Program Related Investments or PRIs; this is a potential source of funding as we try to enable foundation to use their endowments (not just their grants) to support social purpose work. See this blog from Causeway Coordinator, Adam Jagelewski for more on this topic. http://www.marsdd.com/blog/2010/02/09/new-capital-on-the-horizon/
We then offer an analysis of the pros and cons of the CICs and L3Cs in terms of their ability to attract investment, governance/ oversight and implementation in Ontario.
Finally, we end the paper with a recommendation for Ontario and the federal government with the conclusion that an opportunity exists to capitalize on regulatory changes that have taken place in the UK and US and the experience they have gained implementing those changes. Their knowledge can be used as a base to effect change in Ontario that will assist social entrepreneurs to raise the necessary capital to scale their business activities. Ogilvy Renault LLP and MaRS will present the recommendations in this white paper to the Ontario government and stimulate a dialogue between government leaders and policy makers, members of the social enterprise community in Ontario and those that have lead the way to hybrid corporate legal structures in the UK and US.
To reiterate, this paper is designed to "stimulate a dialogue" on this topic. As it is our mandate at MaRS to act as a "think and do tank" on issues that promote social entrepreneurship, we are very pleased to have had the opportunity to conduct due diligence on options for our emerging sector. This structure may work for you, it may not, but a Canada based on choice, a Canada that presents options to make it easier to make money and make a difference, that's the Canada that at least, deserves a chance to emerge if not flourish.
Now it's your turn, let's hear what you have to say.

steps to social enterprise
Hey Tonya
Great to see that the debate about social enterprise is moving along and MARs is weighing in. You're absolutely right that the structure still needs work with your final comments being paramount - access to grants and the business tax structure.
Allowing social enterprises to access grants - albeit modified grants - is essential. I think they should be incentive based or similar to grants within BIAs in Ontario where they are based on matched investments made by the SE. Grants allow SE to offer the value added service that will make them competitive, while remaining appealing to investors who expect and deserve returns for taking the risk.
It's also key to sort out the tax relationship and GST/HST implication. Again a review of the modified risk associated with SE should bear a new structure for taxation.
What are the chances of bringing you and SE folks to Hamilton to do a review of where we're at in Canada?

SE in Hamilton
Hi Jeremy,
Great to hear from you.... the issue of taxation is an interesting one. Having run a for-profit and several nonprofits, the issue is really predictability and planning. While, in theory, I have no problem with the idea of contributing our fair share of taxes on surpluses, there is another side of me that says that we (the leadership of our SE's) should benefit from some incentives in our work to deliver public benefit and to help reduce the load on what would otherwise be carried by government.
Given that the asset lock of a nonprofit means that there are no profits to distribute and that we are required to reinvest every surplus dollar in fulfilling our social mission, I am inclined to stick with our current system.
Lynn Eakin has been doing some interesting research about how much revenue the public coffers are impacted by different legal forms. What would be even more interesting would be to look at how social enterprises reduce the load on government through their self-sustaining or reduced cost services. I wonder how many of our members would otherwise be on Employment Assistance were there not an affordable space in which to pursue their entrepreneurial effortts. Or how many jobs are created by virtue of the support that we offer (at virtually no cost to the public).
What is the SE scene like in Hamilton?

Learn from our community
Tonya, thanks for this thoughtful discussion. I too feel that there may be a role for a separate legal entity but not convinced we've done the work to demonstrate that need. Like you, I have questions about whether the limited, and almost non-existent resources available to social enterprises, are best directed to this investigation at this point in time, particularly when there is such a great need for skill development opportunities. And, if we are going to go down this road, I believe we'd get enormous value from moving the discussion from its current focus on structure to a focus on developing a case that is informed by the practiticing community. I'm prompted to say this for many reasons but one of the biggest is that the enterprises we work with are dedicated to the development of competitive businesses in the market place and to that end may be concerned about the brand value (or negative brand value) created through the use of a separate legal structure. For example the majority have shunned the use of the .org tag for a .com preference in order to communicate an appropriate message to their market. Regardless, I want to know what their thoughts are and would they use it.
A final quick thought is whether this structure is really able to add any further value than would be created through the use of tax credits, and if not, are we prompting the development of a culture that says it's okay to be "less than" if you're a social enteprise?

Learn from our mistakes....
Couldn't agree more Tonya. It's also about where resources (which are scarce) are focused. It may be that a new legal entity / structure is required, but there are many in the UK who felt that a CIC wasn't necessary and (as you say) its success has been 'qualified' or divided opinion at best. Recent changes to the dividend caps etc may result in more social investment, but many social entrepreneurs here have found CICs falling between two stools: not able to get pump-priming grants (as they are not a registered charity) and not able to get social / blended return investment (because of the caps on dividends / financial returns).
Those who are more favourable to the CIC structure in the UK would say that it also erred in not having a marketing budget to match that that went into developing it....though the start-up / registration rate has not been bad.
It has to be about it being fit-for-purpose though: inevitably, there is a variety / spectrum of legal, financial and governance options. Choosing the right ones is the key, rather than adding many more....

Your Ideal Form?
Hi Nick,
So glad that you have commented... and I would LOVE to hear from other Brits with their opinion.... if you could do it all over again, what would your ideal legal form look like? What would you invest in?

A Message from the President
Which Way? The Way!
My smart phone has a GPS, and that wonderful device has directed me to my destination many times. I'm extremely appreciative, especially during a rainy night, in a strange town, and without my glasses! But as much a I appreciate a GPS, I'm still an old-fashioned map kind of guy. A GPS provides a narrow focus—a block-by-block path. But I can't get a bigger sense of the city. I can't always tell which way is north. When I use a map, I automatically get a bigger perspective, seeing my destination as part of a larger whole.
This catalog—is it a GPS or a map of your journey into ministry? Like a GPS, does it focus you on specific courses you need to complete? Or, like a map, does it provide a larger picture—the outline of a minor, a major, a degree?
It does both, I think. But I'm going to ask you to see an even bigger picture. Everything in this catalog points to the Way! Jesus once made an astonishing claim. I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). From Scripture we learn that in Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments (Colossian 2:3-4).
For you, a Christian student enlightened by the Spirit, every academic discipline reveals the wisdom and power and grace of our Savior Creator. There is no divide between secular and sacred. In him all things hold together (Colossians 1:17).
Your education at this Lutheran institution will be used by the Spirit to strengthen and sustain you in a biblical and Christocentric worldview. This worldview allows you to make decisions based upon the Savior's mindset, not your own. It gives you discernment to assess the world's priorities. It shows you that in Scripture, God has revealed the very answers to the soul's yearning: answers to the questions of identity and purpose, of suffering and death, of the meaning of life and the hope of eternity.
Every course at MLC will reveal the goodness of God in Christ. Every course will point to him who is the Way, so that you are prepared to help others find him who is the Way.
Blessings on your journey.
President Mark Zarling

Cons: This board was perfect till about 3 weeks ago I would be playing a game and it would freeze suddenly. I diagnosed it being the board after checking every part prior. My SSD's would magically disappear when I start the system and check in the RAID configuration. Running Prim95 and other various testers I finally found out that the system would freeze quickly on heavy loads (and rarely not so heavy).

Boys' jersey-lined slim slouchy sweatpant is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dawnstyle from Versatile Comfort My son lives in sweatpants. These are so great because he looks stylish and not like he just rolled out of bed.

The Hershey Legacy
The story of Hershey's Chocolate begins with Milton S. Hershey. Trained as a confectioner and owner of a successful caramel factory, Hershey became fascinated with chocolate-making at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Hershey founded the Hershey Chocolate Company in 1894, and built what would become the world's largest chocolate factory in 1903. He then created the model industrial town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, where workers enjoyed comfortable homes, inexpensive public transport, and quality public schools.
In 1909, Hershey and his wife, Catherine, established a school for orphan boys. Hershey eventually endowed the bulk of his wealth to this school, including his ownership of the Hershey Chocolate Company. For more than a century, Milton Hershey School has enriched the lives of countless children in need.
The town of Hershey, Pennsylvania has provided employment, recreation, and culture. And The Hershey Company has brought smiles to people around the world.

Physics307L:People/Meyers/e/m ratio lab summary
From OpenWetWare
PurposeSJK 22:08, 13 October 2010 (EDT)
The purpose of this lab is:
1)To calculate, experimentally, the ration of charge to mass, e/m, of an electron.
2)Understand better the physics behind this principle.
Steve Koch 21:53, 13 October 2010 (EDT): Remember to include a link to your primary notebook! http://openwetware.org/wiki/User:Richard_T._Meyers/Notebook/Phys307l/E/m_Lab
We used the online lab manual, linked [here]. When we got to the lab we realized that the equipment was already set up for us, thank you Emran and Randy.
We checked with the manual to be sure that this was the correct setup. After this and the safety quiz we began to take data. After taking points for accelerating Voltage, Constant Voltage and Constant Current we stopped.
Most of the second day of the lab was taken up with analyzing the data.
DataSJK 22:06, 13 October 2010 (EDT)
|View/Edit Spreadsheet
|View/Edit Spreadsheet
We used the equations in the manual and the fact that :
So we got:
Upon averaging the two values, one being very large and the other being very small we get: SJK 22:02, 13 October 2010 (EDT)
We found the accepted value to be:
So we compared our value and the accepted value to get a percent error:
21.84% error is not bad for twenty measurements. SJK 22:05, 13 October 2010 (EDT)
We found the ratio to be:
and a percent error to be:
I did notice that our values for the Voltage versus radius squared had a smaller correlation than that of the Inverse Current versus the Radius. I assume that the sigmoid shape of the Constant Current graph is because of unsystematic error, parallax error, in reading the radius.
With a few more data points I am confident that we could produced a better estimation of e/m.
1)Nathan for being my excellent lab partner and for taking down the equipment list when I had failed to.
2)Emran for setting up the lab previously and for a general outline of my report.
3)Randy also for setting up the lab previously.
1) I found the accepted value of e/m here

Someone should just hg rm it.
and remove the reference in the packager.mk.

> There aren't even rules to build that program.
That highlights a drawback of cppcheck:
cppcheck does not use makefile (or other rule file), it is just scan all the source files, so it produces warning for unused files too.
Maybe a cleanup would be useful. Probably there are some other unused files in the trunk.

You an Butch may consider yourselves unique, but I find most gardeners
want fairly instant success. That is fine. I want the same thing. I
expect to get that whan I buy a "new" hosta! Any issues surrounding
time questions, however are best addressed to those introducing new
plants. There are plenty to chose from ) both hostas and other's) and
the question is are they all they can be? That will eventually be
resolved by the buyer, but I think it is unethical for any plant that
has not been grown to reasonable maturity, ( with hostas that is not
less than 4 years and usually more)to be offered to the general public.

Jonathan Raggett has worked in hotels since leaving Westminster College with a Higher National Diploma in Hotel Management. Jonathan joined RCH in 1998 as General Manager of The Rubens Hotel. In 2000 he was promoted to Managing Director, overseeing the rapid expansion to the 17 award-winning luxury boutique hotels and a country inn which RCH now operates.

"We are a family run small collection of five- and four-star hotels who fight the big chains for business. We will never have the same Sales and Marketing spend as these players, so it is my belief that we need to make an even better job of taking care of our guests."
Malcolm Hendry

Having been with Red Carnation Hotels at The Rubens at the Palace Hotel for over ten years, previously at The Milestone, my role as General Manager here is one of the most satisfying jobs of my career.

Every guest is important to us all and I enjoy taking a personal interest in every stage of your guest experience, from marketing the hotel, through reservations to arrival, throughout your stay and not forgetting seeing you off, hopefully to return another day! A wonderful job, working with some great people and lucky enough to have fabulous guests. What more could anyone ask for?

I have worked at the Rubens for over 15 years and the favourite part of my job is meeting our guests from all corners of the world.

I quickly came to understand how Red Carnation enables every one of us to do everything in our power to make the stay of our guests breathtaking. Our motto 'No request is too large, no detail too small' is not a simple eye-catching slogan: it represents a real state of mind, which accurately reflects every person's role at the hotel.

Union president Harold Daggett takes to Facebook in advance of February meetings.
ILA Labor Negotiations
The International Longshoremen's Association and its employers at U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports are discussing an early, long-term extension of their coastwide contract that expires Sept. 30, 2018. The goal: an agreement that spares cargo interests an experience such as the one they endured during the epic 2012-13 bargaining between the ILA and United States Maritime Alliance. Those negotiations yielded a six-year contract, but only after nearly a year of rocky negotiations and repeated strike threats.

Typically, once a U.S. longshore negotiation is settled, the affected ports revert to a state of normalcy despite whatever disruption occurred during the talks. U.S. West Coast negotiations over the past 20 years have never been without disruption but were always followed by near-normal operations that lasted in some cases for years. The six years leading up to the June 30, 2014, expiration of the recent agreement between waterfront employers and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union saw only sporadic disruption. But there is a difference between then and now: The current agreement reached on Feb. 20 failed to resolve all issues and one in particular — chassis maintenance — stands out as holding the potential for sparking further disruption and uncertainty for shippers.

LucoviaHistory is a never changing story every event unchanged, and every detail spectacular. Back in 1602 the world was far from what it is now, and even further away from truths. The people of that time use to believe that one day God would save them all, and thus they all tried to understand each other like a family but even families hardly understand each other.Lucovia by Ristina-Silverfox
Deep in the heart of Europe known as Italy and long before that the greatest city named Rome.There was a small village named Lucovia that was barely known by the people that lived in Italy. Though it was recognized as part of the country it seemed to have a separate way of government, and had it's own way of doing absolutely everything. This very village was the birth of the stone henge that in myth is believed to have been responsible for the darkest powers that seed from the burning of Lucovia.
The darkest powers of lucovia are the secrets that one never wishes to see. Some say that the blame is the men who are said to hav
Little white liesLies, lies, its all lies says the cat to the bird. Eat me, feed me to the brushed lips of a fox says the bunny to the sly fox. At least that is how life came to change for me in this rather large in-habitted town of people who could care less about anything other than their home behind closed doors. Coincidence is a habit of nature just like a snake is to a rat. It eats on the small, and gives to the strong. These lies, wrap up us like little cocoones until we reap what we sow.Little white lies by Ristina-Silverfox
I for one don't want to be the teller of the story, but if not me , who is left to spill the facts about the truths that lay in hiding around us. No one is perfect but that doesn't mean no one likes to try , and its the trying that kills us. Burns like a fire that erupts from an old furnace in a molded basement. I don't write by force but rather everyone deserves the honesty that some just cannot speak of. 6 years ago a terrible, horrible event occurred, some of it was maybe my fault .

The bold move, which boosted Apple shares, was instigated by Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs, who has been running the troubled computer maker for the past month while a search is conducted for a new permanent chief executive officer.
Mr Jobs is known to have disapproved of the agreements entered into by Apple since 1993 to sell licences to other computer makers to manufacture and distribute clone Apple products. Among those, Power Computing emerged as the most successful with an annual revenue last year of $300m.
Rather than helping to expand the market share for the Macintosh operating system, as Apple had originally hoped, the clone-makers have instead eroded Apple's own sales through aggressive discount pricing and direct marketing. It is this cannibalising process that Mr Jobs wants to reverse.
Apple and Power Computing had been in dispute for several months over access to Apple's technology and some kind of new arrangement between the two companies had been expected. Power Computing's former chief executive, Joel Kocher, resigned from the company last month over the arguments with Apple.
Under the deal unveiled yesterday, Apple will acquire the core assets of Power Computing, including the right to retain key employees with expertise in direct marketing and distribution. Apple will also gain Power Computing's customer data base.
Power Computing will retain its name and continue to sell Mac-compatible computers until the end of the year.
"Power Computing has pioneered direct marketing and sales in the Macintosh market, successfully building a $400m business," Mr Jobs commented. "We look forward to learning from their experience, and welcoming their customers back into the Apple family".
The deal comes almost one month after a huge shake-up at Apple, which saw Mr Jobs returned to the board of directors as well as the revelation that Apple's former arch-rival Microsoft would be investing $150m in the company.
It remained unclear what the implications of the Power Computing deal would be for other holders of Apple clone licences, which are principally Motorola Inc and Umax Computer of Taiwan.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Ultimate Crapshoot
by Paul on 10/04/05 at 07:42 AM ET
Comments (0)
Going into Wednesday's 15 openers, it is difficult to separate about 24 of the NHL's 30 teams and place them in an order that you could confidently predict, this is how the year will unfold. Take, for example, a team that many predict could win the Stanley Cup, the Philadelphia Flyers. In a best-case scenario, the Flyers will win because they've added arguably the most complete player in the game (Peter Forsberg), to a line-up that includes an emerging star (Simon Gagne), an exceptional leader (Keith Primeau), two of the best prospects (Jeff Carter, Mike Richards) plus a defence corps that blends toughness and experience (Derian Hatcher, Mike Rathje) with skill and puck-handling (Kim Johnsson, Joni Pitkanen).

9 snoring solutions
9 snoring solutions
First thing's first: Go see a doctor
Before trying any anti-snoring tactic or product, get your snorer to a doctor. Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder where the snorer stops breathing for short episodes throughout the night. Sleep apnea has been associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease, as well as dangerous daytime fatigue, which can lead to impaired immune function, and even accidents on the road or on the job.
A family doctor can assess if further consultation with an ear, nose and throat specialist is required.
Tip: Ask your doc if weight-loss might help too. It can sometimes reduce snoring in overweight patients.
Do-it-yourself anti-snoring tactics
Once you've got the all clear from your doctor, you can try these simple anti-snoring tricks.
Help your partner sleep on his side
• Use a simple running stitch and extra fabric to sew a pocket into the back of the snorer's pajamas. Tuck a tennis ball into the pocket. Because of the tennis ball, the snorer will find it uncomfortable to sleep on his back and he will stick to sleeping on his side -- a less snore-inducing position.
Keep pets out of the bedroom
Yes, we know your pets are part of the family. However, if your partner is even a touch allergic, having a cat or dog sleeping in the bedroom can lead to worsening nasal congestion and snoring. Move Fido or Ferdinand to another room and you may find snoring less of an issue.
Try distraction or evasion
As a last resort, non-snorers may want to block out the noise with earplugs. There are a number of products on the market, costing from under $1 to over $100 per pair for custom-molded models, or those with built-in white-noise audio components. Materials range from silicone, PVC and polyurethane to old-fashioned wax-and-cotton. The cheapest plugs are actually often the best, so start with drugstore options before considering custom models.
Page 1 of 2 -- Still not sleeping soundly? Try these products designed to help stop snoring on page 2Anti-snoring products
Here are some commercial anti-snoring products that you may want to try. We spoke with Dr. Glendon Sullivan, deputy director of the Saint John, N.B.-based, Atlantic Health Sciences Sleep Centre, to get his take on them.
Bottom line: There are no magic bullets. All these products target one problem area, but snoring is often the result of a combination of contributing factors.
"Snoring is due to the vibrations of the palate caused by turbulent airflow," explains Dr. Sullivan. "Usually in any one person, there's more than one site of increased resistance," he says. These can include: the nose (due to polyps or a deviated septum), the mouth (because of an overly large tongue), the neck (because of deep tissue fat which compresses the airway) or a jaw which is set too far back.
Without addressing all your problem spots, most anti-snoring products won't hit the mark. But here are a few that could work for you.
Mandibular advancement devices
These include products like the SnoreMate or R.I.P. Snore. The mouthpiece is worn at night and is said to move the lower jaw forward, opening the airway and reducing the vibrations of the palate, thus reducing the snoring noise.
"Long-term compliance is poor and can cause headaches and throw off your dental occlusion," cautions Dr. Sullivan. He also recommends only using oral appliances customized for you by an orthodontist or dentist who specializes in this area.
Breathe Right Nasal Strips
These spring-like bands adhere to the exterior of your nose and help hold nasal passages open so you can breathe deeply through your nose, reducing snoring.
"Breathe Right strips just deal with the nose," says Dr. Sullivan. "But if that is your one problem area (perhaps you suffer from seasonal allergic congestion), that may be fine for you."
Positional therapy pillows
Pillows like the Obus Forme Sleep Obstruction Clearing Pillow encourage snorers to sleep on their sides – not backs. "Positional therapy helps to negate the gravity effects of allowing the tongue to fall back and some people are very sensitive to this and it can work well," says Dr. Sullivan.
But Dr. Sullivan maintains that the 'tennis ball in the pajamas' technique is more effective for keeping snorers on their sides.

CHICKASHA – Drover pitcher Summer Leitka was named the NAIA National Softball Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday after a strong performance in the circle last week.
CHICKASHA – Seven wins and 63 strikeouts later, Summer Leitka was chosen as the Sooner Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday, making it her fifth week this season — and second in a row — to earn the honor.
FORT WORTH, Texas – It was a close battle until the top of the sixth when the Drovers would put up five runs to take the lead for good and grab Head Coach Jadyn Wallis' 100th career win.
WAXAHACHIE, Texas – In the last few days of the regular season, the Drovers have four straight days of road doubleheaders and started it off with a bang by collecting two wins against the Southwestern Assemblies of God (7-31, 3-23).
CHICKASHA – Breaking records and taking trips to the national tournament are goals for student-athletes at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, but the larger, more important ambition of our student-athletes is the bachelor's degree.
CHICKASHA– In a doubleheader that was supposed to be played at Mid-America Christian (22-16, 10-12), the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (34-7, 17-3) shut out the Evangels in both games to win all four against the Evangels this season.
CHICKASHA – After shutting out No. 1 Oklahoma City, Drover pitcher Summer Leitka earned Sooner Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week honors.
CHICKASHA – It was a perfect Senior Day for the Drovers as they topped Southwestern Christian in both games of the doubleheader, all while finding themselves in the NAIA Top 15 and watching senior catcher Kayla Adams set a new school record.
CHICKASHA – The Drovers handed the No. 1 Oklahoma City Stars their second loss and first shutout of the season in game one of Saturday's doubleheader, which was the annual Pink Out Cancer series for the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
CHICKASHA – Kayla Adams tied a school record when she hit a three-RBI homer to left field in the first of two games on the road Thursday evening at Oklahoma Baptist.
