What you should know before setting up a business
Five out of seven business start-ups in South Africa fail in their first year according to Rob Davies, Minister of Trade and Industry. Globally, one out of two start-ups fails during its first year.
HomeTimes wants you to succeed as an entrepreneur and to live in the home of your dreams. To enable you to do this we have secured the rights to serialise the book, How to Survive and Thrive as an Entrepreneur, by author, business owner and serial entrepreneur, Neville Berkowitz (63), who shares the secrets he has learned over the course of his 40 years as an entrepreneur.

5 Forming a business
You can either set up a brand-new business, buy an existing one or join a franchise. In order to determine which structure would help your business thrive, you will have to think through the implication of the laws governing each business structure, the tax implications of each options and how much experience and credibility you (or your franchiser) can bring to the table to allow the business to grow.
Choosing a business structure
One of the key decisions you will have to make when you start your business is choosing a legal business structure to use. This will also impact the way SARS will tax your business. Because it's such an important decision, you should get advice from a qualified independent business, financial or legal advisor.
The structure of your business will depend on the size and type of business that you are establishing, as well as your personal circumstances. If you need more support, a partnership could be what you need. Otherwise you might consider registering as a sole proprietor if you want to maintain decision-making control over the business's operations.
Below, we review the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of businesses, ranging from sole proprietorships and partnerships to private companies and public companies.
Sole proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is the simplest form of business structure and it is relatively easy to establish and maintain. As a sole proprietor, you maintain complete control of your business and there is no division between business assets or personal assets. This means that your personal assets could be used to pay off business debts.
|You can maintain full control of your business and run it without the interference of anyone else.
|If your business gets into debt, you will be liable which may place your personal financial wellbeing at risk.
|You can retain all of the profits of the business.
|It might be difficult to raise finance to fund your business or expand it.
|Your information will be kept private and the legal requirements and restrictions are less than those of other business structures.
|The life of the business can be limited since legally, the proprietorship and the owner are considered one and the same.
|As a sole proprietor, you can offer a more personal service which could appeal to potential customers.
|Because of a limited customer base, you may be unable to buy in bulk and thus benefit from the economies of scale. This could increase the price of your products or services.
|Your business is flexible and you will be able to act on decisions quickly and cater to your customers early.
|The success or failure of the business rests on the business owner, which can lead to pressure and a lack of work/life balance.
|There is a great sense of accomplishment in knowing that you are working for yourself and over time, you will grow more confident in your abilities.
|You will have to assume responsibility for most managerial tasks such as purchasing, selling, financing etc.
If you are setting up a business and you want to keep it small and control every aspect of it yourself, this might be the structure for you.
If two to 20 people come together to form a business, this is called a partnership. A partnership is not taxed in the same way that a company would be and there are no statuary audit requirements. When forming a partnership, a "partnership agreement" is essential and it will include information about the formation, profit sharing, salaries, banking arrangements, changes of partnership, liquidation and stipulate each partner's responsibilities.
Depending on the needs of the business or the partners' preferences, all the partners can be involved in running the business or there could be 'silent' partners (those who invest money but are not involved in managing it). A partnership may be the structure you want to establish if you can think of people who you trust, who have multiple skill sets and can complement your talents. However, if you are only bringing in a partner because of their financial contribution, then you should be aware that you could also be giving the person a significant say in how the business operates when they become a stakeholder. You will also have to think about how profits will be shared in the future.
When you are establishing a partnership, you will need to have a lawyer draw up a partnership agreement to ensure that everyone is clear about what they are contributing, their responsibilities and how they can benefit from the partnership. This will also help to prevent disagreements at a later stage.
Ultimately, forming a partnership should be based on what is best for the business.
|Partnerships provide mutual support and companionship. There is always someone to share the burden of the business with.
|There may be differences in personal aims and objectives for the business.
|You gain access to another individual's skills, knowledge and experience. In addition, you are able to complement one another's skillsets.
|Decision-making can be slower since you will be collaborating together. Having a business partner to whom you have to justify your reasoning is an excellent way to ensure that you're making sound decisions.
|Having an alternative perspective to an issue in the business could help you find unique solutions to problems.
|You have to ensure that your partner can match your work ethic otherwise you risk developing resentment in the relationship.
|A partner could be able to invest financially in the business, thus lessening your personal monetary risk.
|A partner will, however, also have to take a share in the profits or gain a controlling stake in the business. A partner will usually expect to be paid more than other staff.
|The partners are free to set their responsibilities and benefits as they see fit or as the needs of the business indicate.
|If things go wrong, the partner may leave you dealing with liabilities or lawsuits. The business-related acts of one partner legally bind all other partners.
|Having a partner enables the business to cope with expansion and you might even consider inviting additional partners as the business grows.
|Depending on the nature of the partnership, there could be a substantial amount of paperwork and legalities to deal with when you are setting up the business.
|By bringing in a partner, you have access to a new network of contacts, which could help you find more suppliers, establish a solid client base or provide more opportunities for capital.
|Being in a partnership can be compared to being married in that you will probably end up spending as much time around your partner as you do your spouse. If that makes you uncomfortable, you might want to consider an alternative arrangement.
There are different types of partnerships, one of which could work best for your business. A general partnership means that each partner is involved in managing the business and is responsible for the liabilities of the business. If one partner is sued, all the partners are liable.
In an en commandite partnership, there are one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. While general partners are active managers and are also liable in terms of partnership obligations, limited partners do not participate in management and have no liability for partnership obligations beyond their capital contributions. This means that limited partners are protected against personal liability for the partnership's debt and other obligations. However, they do receive a share of the profits for their involvement as limited partners. In this way, the limited partner plays the role of a silent partner.
An en commandite partnership provides each owner with liability protection against the actions of their partners. Each partner has an equal role in the decision-making processes of the business, and equal shares in the business's profits and losses. However, it is important to know that en commandite partnerships are only available for particular occupations.
Close Corporation
Since the implementation of the Companies Act (Act 71 of 2008), no CC can be registered and no conversions from Companies to CCs will be allowed. However, existing CCs will be maintained.
Private company
This is the most likely structure for entrepreneurs who want to benefit from the advantages of running their business as a company in that it is essentially a new entity which is separate from the business owner(s). The private company has shareholders who own the business and managers (or directors) who run it – depending on the business's needs, these may be the same people.
Private companies are registered with www.cipc.co.za and must submit an annual return each year, to ensure that they are still trading. Smaller businesses will have an annual accounting review completed by an accountant (which is simpler than an audit).
If your business is running as a private company, you have a more professional image and are able to have several people share ownership of the business. This also makes it easier to sell portions or all of the company to future buyers.
Private companies comprise of between one and 50 members, cannot sell shares to the public and are not listed on the stock exchange. This means that the private company does not need to publish their financial statements publicly.
|The company has a perpetual lifestyle and can continue even if one of the owners dies.
|Private companies have many legal requirements and are difficult and expensive to register.
|Shareholders have limited liability, but directors are personally liable, if they are running the business in a reckless or fraudulent manner.
|At least one director is required.
|Private companies can be adapted to both small and large businesses.
|Shares may not be offered to the public and cannot be listed on the stock exchange.
|The financial statements of a private company are not public.
|A minimum of two shareholders are required for a meeting, unless it is a one-person company.
|Raising capital for a private company is easier, as long as the business has a track record of profitability or shows potential for growth.
|Annual financial statements must be audited.
|If you enjoy being a passive investor, you can invest in a private company without having to take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the business.
|If you are investing in a private company, your investment is illiquid, which means you will have to wait before you are able to generate an acceptable return on investment.
Public company
If you have established a private company and it outgrows your ownership, you could consider going public at a later stage. Public companies are owned by shareholders who are members of the public, and are listed on the stock exchange. A public company requires at least seven members with a minimum of two directors.
By going public, a company can raise capital which can increase its potential for expansion, product development, construction, expansion into new markets and acquisitions. Public companies must inform shareholders about and get approval for the company's operations, financial performance, management actions and other decisions. However, it is expensive to change the structure to a public company and there are intricate legal requirements concerning board regulations and responsibilities.
|Public companies tend to have more prestige and visibility.
|Public companies tend to take longer to make decisions since management will require approval from a board of directors or group of shareholders.
|Shareholders can diversify their investment portfolios, due to the marketability of their shares.
|If shareholders are looking for quarterly performance, management might lose sight of long-term objectives.
|If you are a member of management, you will usually be compensated at a higher level than if your company stays private.
|Financial disclosures and their announcements could also lead to a loss of secret competitive information.
|Shares that are publicly traded are usually more expensive than shares that are not publicly traded. This means that the business's value is likely to increase.
|More time is spent meeting regulatory requirements, meeting investors, preparing for conference calls and communicating with key stakeholders.
|Gaining access to additional capital assists in enabling the business's financial standing.
|The costs related to managing the company increase, in terms of accounting systems and auditing costs.
|Public companies are usually large and, thus, can take advantage of the economies of scale and save costs on equipment or materials.
|Control of the company and management positions can be taken away from existing management if a dissident investor or group of investors acquires majority control.
This is a very broad explanation of business structures and there are always exceptions to the rules. Before you sign any legal documents, do your research and contract the services of an independent legal, accounting or auditing professional with expertise in this area.

Did you do a fresh install of the OS and all required drivers when/after you installed the new motherboard?
HI I have re-set my computer up with a new Mobo previously I had an Asus now I have a Asrock extreme 6 with the Intel I5 3570K processor and 2 MSI 7870 cards in crossfire config and I cant get the Intel HD 4000 graphics to work even though I have enabled them in the Bios and updated the bios to the latest version which is 2.80 previously it was 2.60 and it didn't work then either. It has worked prior to me installing a discrete GPU and initially I only installed one card rather than crossfire. I have also connected a monitor through the DVI socket on the mobo as well as a HD for the main monitor through the discrete GPU. I didnt have a problem with the ASUS with all the same components once I worked out the Bios, but i am having no such luck with this any ideas? Its on a W7 64 install but this isnt particulary relevent as it doesnt get past boot up if I enable the internal graphics anyway, it just keeps on rebooting. The reason I want to get it working is I prefer one monitor on that output and I can use Lucid Virtu MVP any ideas?
Did you do a fresh install of the OS and all required drivers when/after you installed the new motherboard?
#1 - Please, when seeking help, enter the make and model of ALL parts that your system is comprised of in your Signature, or at least the model #'s in your System Specs, then "Save' it.
____If you are overclocking, underclocking, or undervolting any parts, informing us of this and their values would prove beneficial in helping you.
#2 - Consider your PSU to be the foundation from which all else is built upon. Anything built upon a weak foundation is poorly built.

We have been visiting Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy properties for some time and it never ceases to amaze me that we still haven't seen them all. On Saturday, having lost Exile #3 to a better offer, the rest of us ventured out to the Normans Kill West Preserve. It was quite a surprise.
The sign at the entrance was slightly disturbing.
No - not the DEAD END sign, the one Exile #4 is reading. It tells the story of a landslide in May 2000 that formed part of the parcel of land on this side of the Normans Kill stream.
Thanks to Google Earth's historical imagery, I've managed to make this aerial time-lapse of the event including the business that was lost and the two next door that survived.
So, that's the history. The flat area that was made by redirecting the stream following the breaking of the dam that was formed by the landslide now forms the preserve, along with some of the wooded hillside behind.
On Saturday, despite it being the middle of winter (if we can call it that), it was muddy.
Very muddy...
...in places.
Exile #2 thought these decaying fungi looked like tree-limpets:
The path winds down to the banks above the stream in the woods.
And then the vistas open to the reclaimed land and the 'newly' formed slope up to the road.
We had a rather nice walk - in spite of the mud:
and even made some music on the way:
Telling the story of the ups and downs, the adventurous and mundane days of one British family's self-imposed exile in the Capital Region of New York State.

It took me a minute to realise that this post wasn't actually about the Normans' killing anyone, or indeed that they never really made it that far west.ReplyDelete

Troubadours is the story of four musical artists finding success, but nobody really knowing about it. Diego, Alvaro, Lorenzo and Julio all share the same town, an other-worldly and enigmatic city that protects them for days on end. Troubadours is a reflection on art and fame, unafraid of reaching into its insanity. It finds the adequate rhythm to portray the drives of different persons who have left everything behind them, and now keep forging ahead irrevocably. The magic to be found a gaze, the concealed beauty of an ordinary town or the sheer greatness of the insignificant are the overarching notions and ideas of this film.
Iván Castell (1977). Director and film editor. His second professional shortfilm, "Nave #527" (Marché du Film Court de Clermont-Ferrand), with more than 100.000 views, was featured at spanish press and TV (El Pais, La 2, Heraldo de Aragon). He has directed music videos for Limnopolar (Delicias Discográficas), The Closers (King of Patio Records), Hankat (Sounds of Copenhagen Records) and Grossomodo (Rap Solo).
"Troubadours" it's his feature documentary debut.

Every Denver SEO consultant will tell you that the top four basics involved in SEO are the most important and you want to make sure that you are implementing these into all of your work. Whether you are an expert in need of a refresher course or you have a brand spanking new website that you are eager to optimize, there are three primary tips that you must know and ensure that you are always using when you produce new content.
What is SEO?
If you are very new to this, you want to start by knowing what it is so that you understand its importance. It stands for search engine optimization. When you properly use SEO, you are working to ensure that your website and the individual pieces of content are ranking as high as possible on the search engines. The higher you rank, the better the flow of traffic to your website.
Using Keywords
Keywords are the most basic part of an effective SEO strategy. You have to use the right ones in the right ways in order to be successful. Start by brainstorming your topics and then do your keyword research to see what people are using to search for information within those topics. It is best to start with about the fourth one down on the list since the top three get great traffic, but they also have a lot of competition.
Placement of your keywords also matters and you must never stuff them into your content. A density of one to three percent is best. Insert the primary keyword naturally great site every 100 words, into your intro and into your title for starters. You also want to take advantage of website elements, such as the meta description and meta tags for keyword purposes.
Write Good Content
Quality content is more important than any other aspect of SEO. Your content needs to be well-constructed, organized and free from error. It also needs to provide value to the reader and be easy for them to read. So, incorporate subheadings, short sentences, and short paragraphs.
Share Your Content
You should have social media accounts connected to your website or blog. Use these and share your content with an enticing description that incorporates your primary keyword. This gets your work in front of more people.
You can see why these basics are so important. Even better, they are incredibly easy to put into place. This means that you will be able to optimize your content with little effort. The biggest factor is just making sure that what you are producing is high in quality. Most other elements will naturally fall into place after that.

text: A friend gave me a bag full of cassette tapes a couple of weeks ago. There were 2 Stevie Ray tapes in there. I never really listened to much electric blues before, and I surprisingly liked it a lot. Left the 1st tape in the player for a week straight. Finally decided to pop the 2nd one in - and something occurred to me. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING, DAMMITT!!!!!! They're great musicians, obviously. Why did they continually put out the same damn recordings. IT'S ALL THE SAME!!!!!!!!! Seems they almost even acknowledge the triteness of their own crap by singing Mary Had a Little Lamb (how lame yet appropriate). How come these guys didn't just say, been there, done that, and move on to something else? How did they keep on selling albums??? Did they EVER stray from blues formulas and play something poppy, metal, punkish, danceable, upbeat, unique???? Were they afraid of their "reputation" or something. Sorry blues fans, but unless he did a lot of other stuff that I'm not familiar with, I think that guy had a whole lotta wasted talent on his hands. Seemingly couldda done so much more.

I love the word "glory". I appreciate the sound it makes as it rolls across my tongue and it brings to mind images of dancing light beams and Jesus transfigured, face shining like the sun. I think of what happened when Moses went up the mountain and spent time in God's presence. His face glowed with the reflected glory of the Lord.
Despite the lovely images, I have trouble wrapping my mind around the concept of glory. Bible dictionaries define it as abundance, treasure, honour, splendour, brightness and majesty. It is something intrinsic to God's character and being – a quality so wondrous and powerful that it altered Moses' appearance.
The Bible makes it clear that human beings are to give glory to God. "Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name." (Ps. 29:2) Does this mean we tell Him how wonderful He is, over and over again? The Westminster Catechism implies that there is more to it than that: "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever."
When I think about glorifying God, I imagine retreating into the shadows so God can be the one that shines. How can that be enjoyable? I don't know about you, but there's something in me – pride, perhaps – that would rather keep a little glory for myself. But God says: "I am the Lord, that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else …" (Isaiah 42:8)
It's clear that pride must be put aside in any quest to recognize God's greatness and worship him appropriately, but getting rid of it isn't easy. In fact, it feels a bit like dying. I've been discovering, though, that when I let go of my rights and desires, give up my futile attempts to gain the world's esteem and cease trying to claw my way up the ladder to heaven, something surprising occurs.
As the inner noise quietens down, I feel a little scared and alone.But if I cling to God and refuse to give into the temptation to fill that emptiness with the usual second-rate stuff, my spirit begins to awaken to God's presence. It dawns on me that I'm not some spiritual orphan, scrabbling in the dust for a crumb of food, but the beloved child of a Father who can meet all my needs. A finger of joy dances into my heart and I get up and walk with a lighter step, praising and thanking my Maker. And in my spirit, I sense that He is pleased.
This God of ours, who created galaxies and pulsates with energy and light, cares deeply for me. And you. Glorious indeed.
"To please God … to be a real ingredient in the divine happiness … to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but delighted in as an artist delights in his work or a father in a son – it seems impossible, a weight or burden of glory which our thoughts can hardly sustain. But so it is." ~ C.S. Lewis

My first post, "The Day of Loss", describes the events of the day I lost my husband.
Merry Christmas to all!
For you sweetheart.
"On the 22nd we marched on again until late at night. The 23rd was a day of rest, but there was not much rest since it rained all day, so that we were wet to the skin. At 10 in the morning of the 24th we went on and the next days to the 26th, we hardly encountered any enemies. The 27th we got to Compiegne here is where Bonaparte had his castle. When we got to this town the Frenchmen tried hard to throw us back, but they were unsuccessful. On the 28th we got to a town, where the enemy had hidden like snipers, but we pushed them on and our cavalry chased on and captured many of them, also two cannons which were drawn by mules.
"On the 29th we were only three hours away from Paris. On the 30th we rested until 10 o'clock that night, but then followed a 36 hour march to and around Paris. It was so hot we could hardly stand it.
"Early, July 2nd and again we were called to the weapons, and our general told us, "Boys, you had a bad day yesterday, but today we have to be especially brave. We have to take Paris or we are lost."Compiegne Castle
I brought home a lot of things that I probably didn't need and a few things that are part of my heritage. Someday, when my stepdaughters are cleaning out all the things I no longer need, I'm sure they will wonder, why in the world I've kept so many things. But, I'll bet they will haul them all home to their houses the same as me – and they will say – You can't get rid of that! – I'll take it home with me.............

The car pictured here belonged to my great grandfather, Rolf Habben, and was decorated for the fourth of July parade. I'm sure his daughters played a big part in all the decorations - I don't think they missed a spot to decorate! It must have been a great day, with everyone gathering in town. If you look in the background of the photograph you can see the big tent and picnic tables. I'm sure all the wives were busy cooking that day.

Also - Thank you to Harriet at Genealogy Fun for bestowing the " One Lovely Blog Award" to me. WOW two in one day.
I'm so sorry I have not responded sooner, but, family illness has prevented me from spending much time on my blog updates. When I'm able to return I will share these wonderful awards with other deserving blogs that I also enjoy!
Thank you Linda and Harriet you don't know how much you lifted my spirits!
I have contacted the Alki Lodge in Seattle and am anxiously awaiting news of anything they many be able to tell me. I'm told not to get my hopes up for any more information then that he was a member - but it's hard not to hope for more.
I want to take a moment to thank the many people who have helped in the search – Washington State Board of Health – Denise at Bonney Watson – Mary at Seattle Library, Ask A Librarian – Mary at Lake View Cemetery – Nils Solsvik a Find-A-Grave volunteer – and to James Tanner at Genealogy Star who prompted me to take a second look at the Family Search Pilot Program! Also, to Randy Seaver, who so kindly included me in his "Best of the Best" posts for mentioning my story.
I continue my search for Jennette in hopes that I can make some connection with her family. Always hoping that someone may know more of the secret life of Gustave Bebensee.
I hope that I will be able to share more with you all in the near future.

@adamfeuerstein Would love to see a response from the $EXAS hedge fund bull from your 6/14 mailbag column— elbertos (@elbertos) July 24, 2013The backstory: On Wednesday, "Alpha Exposure" -- the pseudonym of a hedge fund -- published its short thesis of Exact Sciences on Seeking Alpha. The article -- Exact Sciences -- The Rotten Sniff Test -- is a very skeptical look at the company's Cologuard colon-cancer screening test. "Alpha Exposure" accuses Exact Sciences of hiding important data from Cologuard's pivotal phase III study and cherry-picking data that has been released in order to trick investors into believing the non-invasive colon cancer test is more accurate than it really is. "Alpha Exposure" said it plans to publish four more articles about Exact Sciences on Seeking Alpha but as of Thursday mid-day, just the single article had been posted. On June 14, I described the bull thesis on Exact Sciences, as explained to me by a different hedge fund investor who is long the stock. And yes, he also requested anonymity. Here's what my hedge fund manager source had to say Thursday about the Exact Sciences' short thesis explained by "Alpha Exposure" in Wednesday's article: "Well, it's just amazing that this guy is using the wrong numbers. His whole thesis is that Exact Sciences is cherry-picking data, but in fact, that's exactly what he did." Two hedge funds battling over the future of Exact Sciences and its colon-cancer screening test! It's always good to know both sides of the story, but who's right? Based on what I've heard and read so far, I lean towards the bull thesis because I believe "Alpha Exposure" is actually being more manipulative with data than anything the fund accuses Exact Sciences of doing. Let me explain. Two main points: First, "Alpha Exposure" accuses Exact Sciences of misleading investors by setting up an easy and rigged comparison between Cologuard sensitivity and specificity and historical data on FIT sensitivity and specificity. The fund points to Exact Sciences' recent investor slides comparing Cologuard to older, previously published FIT data as proof the company is misrepresenting the accuracy of its screening test. "Alpha Exposure" is wrong. In the pivotal "DEEP-C" study conducted by Exact Sciences, all patients underwent screening for colon cancer using Cologuard and FIT. Here's what Exact Sciences CEO Kevin Conroy said about the data comparing Cologuard to FIT. The quote comes from the company's May 1 conference call:
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- This week's Biotech Stock Mailbag fisks the recently published short thesis on Exact Sciences.
Let's turn now to how Cologuard performed against FIT, fecal immunochemical test, during the DeeP-C trial. Cologuard achieved superiority to FIT, not just for pre-cancer sensitivity but for cancer sensitivity as well. Our Cologuard trial was designed with the sequential approach to analyzing the performance of Cologuard compared to FIT. After determining that Cologuard achieved non-inferiority to FIT for cancer sensitivity, our statisticians were able to make a calculation regarding superiority. We are very pleased to report that Cologuard demonstrated superiority to FIT for cancer sensitivity with a statistically significant P value. Claims of superiority to FIT for both cancer and pre-cancer detection will be included in our FDA submission. Exact Sciences has not yet disclosed the detailed data showing the numerical superiority of Cologuard over FIT because the results are included in a manuscript of the study submitted for publication in a medical journal. Again, Conroy, this time from the company's July 23 conference call: "...We have prepared our analysis of the trial's full data set in collaboration with Principal Investigator and submitted a manuscript in June to a premier peer reviewed medical journal. We hope to have the paper published before the end of the year." This explains why Exact Sciences uses historical data on FIT in its investor slides. What we know already from the DEEP-C study is Cologuard's sensitivity to cancer: 92%, pre-cancer sensitivity: 42%; and specificity: 87%. We also know these Cologuard numbers are superior to FIT, we just don't know by how much until the study is published. Second, "Alpha Exposure" contends that even when Exact Sciences discloses the Cologuard vs. FIT comparison from the DEEP-C study, the result will be bogus because the company chose a FIT comparator that is obsolete and pre-destined to deliver subpar results. If Exact Sciences was interested in an honest comparison between Cologuard and FIT, the company would have used the InSure FIT as the comparison screen in the DEEP-C study, "Alpha Exposure" says. InSure FIT is an easier-to-use, more accurate version of the old FIT, with cancer sensitivity of 88%, pre-cancer sensitivity of 43% and specificity of 97%. Across all three measures, InSure FIT would beat Cologuard, "Alpha Exposure" claims. As proof, the hedge fund points to a November 2006 study published in Cancer comparing InSure FIT to an older fecal occult blood test. Here's where "Alpha Exposure" cherry picks data to unfairly bolster its Exact Sciences short thesis. If you read the abstracted results from the Cancer paper only, indeed, InSure Fit's sensitivity and specificity appear just as described by "Alpha Exposure" in its Seeking Alpha article. But if you read the text of the Cancer study, you'll get to this important caveat in the discussion:
The true-positive rates observed in this study for those found to have cancer in either population are likely to overestimate the true sensitivity of screen-detected cancers in the general population because the diagnostic cohort was included. The design is powerful for determining relative sensitivity, as results are paired for these tests. Better estimates of true sensitivity come from the screening population (Tables 3 and 4), although because not everyone had a colonoscopy, results shown in Table 4 represent the upper limit of actual sensitivity within the limitation of the number of detected cases." In other words, InSure Fit's 88% sensitivity for cancer and 43% sensitivity for pre-cancer are not realistic, real-world measures. They're over-estimations, according to the study authors. What does a more realistic evaluation of Insure Fit's accuracy in detecting cancer and pre-cancer look like? Thankfully, the Cancer paper tells us: An estimate of true sensitivity can be obtained from results in those screening cases where colonoscopy was performed (Table 4). Although numbers were relatively small, InSure was significantly more sensitive for cancer (75% vs. 37.5%) and significant adenomas (27% vs. 15%). Oh! When the study authors looked only at patients where colonoscopy was performed -- the most accurate method to diagnose colon cancer -- the performance metrics of Insure Fit are downgraded significantly. Cancer sensitivity is really 75%, not 88%. Pre-cancer sensitivity is 27%, not 43%, as "Alpha Exposure" claims. The hedge fund doesn't include these more real-world Insure Fit numbers in its Seeking Alpha article because they're numerically inferior to Cologuard -- and that just ruins the entire premise of the short thesis. The remaining four parts of the "Alpha Exposure" short thesis on Exact Sciences might be more convincing. Part one was not. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. Follow @AdamFeuerstein

"I look at Nadal and the way he goes about his business, the way he trains, the way he looks every time he walks out on court -- what he gives and expects of himself. If anybody's going win, it's going to be him. He's not afraid to do whatever it takes. Tennis is one part of it -- the desire, the sacrifice, the willingness to learn, to train, to take your knocks to be better. Even when he lost at Wimbledon and the French, he comes back stronger and better to the point where he wants to prove to himself that he's the best. He's only 24. He hasn't even reached his prime. That's scary.
"He brings more than just the tennis. He brings that excitement, that electricity and the feel of walking into a stadium and having more than just a tennis match going on. I'm not saying anything disrespectful about the other guys. I'm just saying that he might have a little big more of that, just by his enthusiasm and passion.
"You don't see guys like him jumping around and running out to the baseline and diving and trying after every ball. That's a long lost art. Nadal grinds it point to point, and shows his passion when he wins a big point and isn't afraid to let you know how he's feeling. That's old school attitude. Today, being cool is probably more important. He might be a one-of-kind, and any time you're a one-of -a-kind, it's not a bad thing."
Number-one-ranked Rafael Nadal is currently competing in the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. He appears headed toward a potential semifinal round showdown with rival and friend Roger Federer.
Do you bring a Nadal-like intensity, desire, and determination to whatever you do? No, what if you did? Would it make a difference? Are you willing to do what it takes to win?
Excerpts from Inside Tennis (March 2011).

Drizzle continued off and mostly on throughout the night. When said drizzle ended it was replaced by heavy rain. Each time I stirred to shift or shiver my ear was bent outward in hopes of hearing silence replacing the drum of rain on tent skin. That wish never was granted.
When finally we had to rouse and move, we ate quickly, packed without much conversation, savored what there was to see while it was there to be seen. Low cloud, fog, and rain obscured many of our views on this day.
First order of business was to cross the White, which Jaybs got to do 3 times after forgetting a critical piece of clothing at camp.
Slack tide beyond gave us a wide berth within which to choose lines. All of them were wet, and most had been fluffed by the constant deluge.
Paralleling Umbrella Reef as we continue SE.
Perhaps the visual highlight of the day, for me.
The rain had the added effect of coloring all of the creeks we crossed, not just the glacial ones.
So what? The flavor didn't really change, but the texture of the water we drank sure did. Good for our gizzards, is what I told myself.
Full current, over-knee depth, and zero visibility: Doom still damn near rode this one out.
We'd all noticed an increase in the number of full-sized trees washed up at high tide, but somewhere near Big Sandy they became impossible to ignore. We advanced and debated theories on why so many, here, now, but couldn't come to agreement.
Our arrival at the Big River crossing coincided with possibly the heaviest rain of the day, as well as high tide. What we found there wasn't just terrifying, it was a complete deal-breaker where further forward progress was concerned. Heavy current plowed straight into ocean swells, while carrying whole trees along for the ride. Not just tree skeletons as seen above and below, but whole living-minutes-ago trees with full crowns of leaves and branches, and massive gnarly rootballs plowing wholesale into each other, tearing hell out of the bank, the bottom, and everything else along the way. It was impossible to slip past them, impossible to even find a safe place to blow up boats within proximity of the carnage. So we retreated to a place where we might safely wait for low tide and hoped for a change in circumstances.
This few-hour long break did nothing to increase our chances of success at getting Jaybs out on time. But it somehow coincided with a brief break in precip, allowing us to dry out clothing, tents, sleeping bags, cameras and lenses and camera bags, build a fire, eat a meal, even catnap for a few.
In that sense it was priceless. Possibly the biggest, luckiest break we got the whole trip.
Gear re-stashed and attitudes adjusted, at low tide we rolled back down and found a much different scene. The ocean was no longer damming up the river, which meant the river lost it's steam before entering the surf. Specifically, this meant that the massive trees were grounding out just before they reached us, so that we'd only have fast current into breakers to contend with. It was spicy but doable, and as exclamation point to achieving the delayed-gratification crossing we were rewarded with a few moments of honey light and atmospheric surf-spray while watching gulls get tubed.
Jaybs, celebrating.
Riding in a drysuit? Every day.
Moments after the Big crossing sun was replaced by cloud, laughter by apprehension, dead tree skeletons by live ones hanging by a thread from a 40' bluff being pounded relentlessly by waves for ~half of every day. It seemed we'd found the source.
This one may have come down moments later. We didn't hang around to find out.
Waiting to cross the Big at low tide gifted us the ability to skirt Icy Cape on the same low. The riding was good, buoyed by adrenaline and the realization of how much carnage was happening a few hours before, and coming again a few hours later.
To help illustrate the destruction we saw, Roman shared this visual reference after the trip:
Go to http://mapper.acme.com
On the lower right search "Guyot Buy, AK".
Click on "Topo" at the upper right.
Put your fore-finger on the airstrip shown on the old topo and your thumb on Icy Cape.
Hold them there as you click on "Satellite".
Now, marvel at the mile width of coastal erosion as you toggle between "Satellite" and "Topo".
Icy Cape and Guyot Bay are gone.
We concluded our lengthy day with a few miles of high-speed doubletrack and some great beach riding to camp at the cusp of our next obstacle: Crossing Icy Bay.

Environmental Defense Ads v. Daisy
Thank you, Environmental Defense, for making these ads and for making them so easy to share. I want to make it clear that I don't think the ads are incorrect, or that Environmental Defense is wrong. It's just that the world is different than the world these ads are addressing. I would like to compare ED's ads to LBJ's famous Daisy Ad.
The rhetoric of all three ads is similar: we are responsible for our children. The fear (horror, really) of these ads is that we as a people will be stupid enough to allow these shining faces to be obliterated or face certain catastrophe. And all three ads are equally effective on the horror-meter. I like the fact that ED's ads are focusing on children's faces and not glaciers. This is localizing and making climate change relevant to what's in front of you. And I like that they don't try to explain climate change. You don't need to explain climate change any more than you need to explain nuclear fusion, or for that matter how your computer works. Its the results that matter--we live in a culture accustomed to trusting science. It has been bugging the crap out of me for years that Big Oil Power shifted the focus onto how climate change works in order to obfuscate the situation.
The problem I have is with the culture that is consuming these ads, and their respective contexts. LBJ's Daisy Ad had a forceful leader (well, kind of) behind it. The whole reason the Daisy ad works so well is because LBJ is the inferred Daddy who will take the little girl and keep her safe because he is big and strong and in control and sane and will not use the bomb. It's a closed circuit. Without a closed circuit like this, what does the horror do?
Environmental Defense's ads are not grounded in a larger leadership, and so are, IMO, existentially dangerous. I am left wondering what I, viewer, is supposed to do about all this. Turn off my lights? Use flourescent bulbs? Make my errands more efficient? The scale feels all wrong, and the scale shift is too abrupt. There is something so strange about being told that the world of my children will be apocalyptic if I don't spend five minutes thinking about my energy consumption every day. It's so small, so easy not to do. And it is too weird because you look around and see everybody else not doing it. Why should I feel guilty about driving when the roads are clogged anyway? My truck makes very little difference in the big scheme of things.
The problem with these ads is that they function in a world without any leadership. There is no LBJ who will protect us from hurricanes and malaria and warmongering. For that matter, there isn't even a company bus shuttling folks from the exurbs using natural gas or electricity. I see the logic behind showing folks that their consumption matters, and FWIW, I turn off my lights and drive as little as possible. But where's the support? Where's the enforcement? Where's the structure that makes all these personal choices part of a larger whole?
Children model behaviors that adults do, and adults model behaviors that their leaders and community members do. We are not particularly autonomous--we are social creatures. Unfortunately we live in a culture that thinks otherwise. We are doing all this bowling alone and can do everything from home and increasingly turn inward. This is a very powerless position to be in.
What if every single ad campaign was strapped to a larger community action? What if rich people were asked to donate scads of cash and solar power companies were asked to do demos and promote themselves and do in-kind donations? What if ads like these were local, and harnessed to specific action-based programs that provide community-based structure?
Let me be specific:
Say Environmental Defense goes to Salinas California, which is an exurb of San Jose and farming community. And after a small, inexpensive grassroots team defines the specific CO2 problems of Salinas: no good public transportation options to San Jose, maybe, no infrastructure for carpooling and lots of people leaving lots of lights on because of crime. Then lots of money can flow into Salinas to fix these problems grassroots style. Ads like Train and Tick can be harnessed to commuter busses and the creation of a carpooling message board. Maybe there's an inexpensive solar-powered light that can be given away or sold very cheaply in the neighborhoods that have crime problems. Or motion-sensors! Motion sensors cost nothing, and volunteers could go door to door giving them away and helping install them!
Net result: One community gets to be virtuous in a way that makes some sense. CO2 emissions go down. Awareness is raised, and fear is used in a way that is existentially fair. This structure of solutions is strong and provides moral support. It is easy to shame the folks who refuse to carpool in a community where there is lots of public support for transportation alternatives. Shame and fear both stop being bullshit tactics and start actually working when there is an armature in place.
I don't advocate whining about the Bush administration. I do advocate providing a strong, active counterpoint that does more than throw scares into people.

Phil Purvis is a Forensic Collision Investigator and our Senior Consultant responsible for the Central South and South West. Phil served 30 years as a Police Officer of which 28 years have been in Road Policing. He has been involved in Road Traffic Accident Investigation since 1985 and has been in private practice since 2007.
Phil's interest in Road Traffic Accident Investigation was first pricked when he attended a collision involving serious injuries and observed the skills of an experienced collision investigator (our CEO, Len Wayman). Having been mentored by Len whilst in the Police, Phil's decision to join Wayman was quite natural. Phil states, "Knowing Len for many years (he was at one time my Sgt) and being aware of the type of work that Wayman undertake I felt I could have a role to play in the company. I also have instructional qualifications that will offer a source of diversity."
Phil describes himself as loyal, dependable, trustworthy, and analytical. He enjoys the opportunity of explaining what to many is unexplainable. His primary objective when conducting an investigation is to ascertain the facts of what actually happened leading up to a collision. His methodical and open-minded approach when dealing with cases allows him to achieve this to an exacting standard.
Since qualifying as a Collision Investigator Phil has achieved numerous qualifications and memberships, among them the following;

CNN asked some of the world's greatest designers to name the top 12 industrial designs of the past 100 years. The iPod, Vespa and Escalator were 3 of the 12. To see the entire list visit: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/28/tech/best-design-100-years-zaccai/
What was it about these three product designs that stood out and how can the Point-Of-Purchase industry further integrate innovative design into the retail environment? As more consumers look for an engaging "shopping experience", what can marketers do to make their displays more effective?
The Apple iPod took a great design and incorporated technology, affording users a heightened product experience while offering features that only technology can provide.
With the launch of the Disney Infinity display, winner of the POPAI Display of the Year Award, along with great design, one of our goals was to engage consumers in a truly interactive experience at the point of purchase. Utilizing the latest RFID technology, we created a display that used technology to make it easier and more enjoyable to experience the product in-store.
The Vespa has a unique look and personality that stands out from its competitors. Displays at retail also need to be eye-catching. We use the latest materials that can be bent, molded, and curved to incorporate shapes and sizes that truly stand out.
Lighting can also be one of the most important elements incorporated into displays. With the latest LED lighting features, more and more fixtures are using lighting to capture the attention of consumers at retail.
Initially the escalator was introduced as an experience for which people would pay just to go up and down. When the escalator was incorporated into architecture, its elegant design brought form and function together perfectly.
Design is not just about a sleek look but a number of variables that need to come together to create a display that stands out, offers the consumer an engaging experience, and brings out the best in the product.
As the retail industry embarks on a new wave of creativity, point of purchase will be an integral part in creating an environment that captures the imagination of consumers.
Mike Eckert is President of Design Phase Inc., a leader in the point-of-purchase industry. With over 30 years in the industry, Design Phase's innovative displays for some of the world's largest brands including Microsoft, LG Electronics, Disney, and Bose have won a multitude of awards, including Display of the Year four times.

Why It Is So Important To Bring The Whole Family To Your General Dentist
If you asked several practicing dentists about their patients that are missing many or all of their teeth, most of them would probably say that these individuals got to a bad start early in life. We now have enough knowledge about what causes decay and what protects our teeth (such as fluoride and dental sealants) that individuals should be able to live most if not all of their lives with the majority of their natural teeth.
Unfortunately, some individuals get a bad start to their oral health by developing bad oral hygiene habits and skipping visits to the dentist from a very young age. When we procrastinate dental work and neglect good dental health habits, the cosmetic and general dentistry procedures that we need become exponentially more expensive. Did we mention that you are also paying with quality of life (think full dentures)?
So what are some of the things you should do for your family to help prevent these expenses?
Choose a dentist early on in your child's life and stay with them if possible. If you switch between multiple dentists, each new set of eyes will only be seeing your family's mouth for the first time. By staying with the same dentist, you have a professional who knows your mouth very well, which results in better care. That is why it is important to pick the right dentist from the start.
Get a professional dental cleaning 1-2 times a year. If you have dental insurance, your insurance company will usually cover close to 100% of the cost. If you don't have dental insurance, you don't get the benefit of free cleanings but you can learn from this insurance policy. The insurance companies have done research and have found that getting a routine cleaning will prevent expensive dental work down the road, so don't be nervous to pay that cleaning fee – it will save you money in the long run.
Make sure that you understand the most current oral hygiene procedures – not only how often you should brush or floss but also the proper techniques. When you go to your cleaning, ask your dental hygienist or family dentist for instructions for the best home care of your teeth.
Diet! Be aware of what foods can cause cavities, cracks and even chemical erosion. Many of the foods we eat are the culprits for the dental problems we face. Have you ever chomped down hard on a popcorn kernel? This can cause cracks. Discuss this subject with your dentist as well for the most current information.
Remember, your dentist is on your side. If you follow your dentist's advice to take care of your teeth, you can expect healthy and beautiful teeth throughout your life.

Biochemistry: New technique to study interaction of metal ions in a liquid
In August, the members of an ISOLDE project called LOI88 successfully employed a new technique to study the interaction of metal ions in a liquid. It's the first time that specific ions have been studied in a liquid medium - a technical achievement that opens promising doors for biochemistry.
"More than half of the proteins in the human body contain metal ions such as magnesium, zinc and copper," explains Monika Stachura, a biophysicist at the University of Copenhagen and the LOI88 project leader. "We know that these elements are crucial to a protein's structure and function but their behaviour and interactions are not known in detail." Detecting these ions directly in a body-like environment is problematic as their closed atomic shells make them invisible to most spectroscopic techniques. However, using the beta-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (β-NMR) technique in combination with the COLLAPS beamline the LOI88 team succeeded, for the first time, in recording a signal from metal ions in a body-like liquid environment. This also proves that basic nuclear physics research and techniques can lead to novel applications.
To obtain these excellent results, the team first had to meet a challenge: to find a way to introduce "easily visible" metal ions into a liquid, in order to then "see" their signal. And by "visible", ISOLDE physicists of course mean "radioactive". Their choice: radioactive magnesium 31 ions (31Mg++). The technique: β-NMR. The setup: complicated…
"First of all, we needed a Mg31 ion beam from ISOLDE," says Magdalena Kowalska, a β-NMR physicist participating in the project and the ISOLDE physics coordinator. "As we are using the NMR technique, we have to polarize the spins of these ions, which is done using laser light from the ISOLDE-COLLAPS set-up. The polarized ions are then caught by a drop of the liquid." Sounds easy? Not if you consider that the beam has to stay in a vacuum, but the liquid cannot. "When a liquid solution is placed in a vacuum it first boils and then freezes, making it impossible to perform the experiment," explains Alexander Gottberg, an ISOLDE target physicist from CSIC, Madrid, who designed the experimental set-up. "To overcome the problem, we had to introduce a pressure difference between the weak vacuum around the liquid target and the high vacuum in the beamline. The most challenging part of this design was that the differential pumping system, which was used for this purpose, had to be hosted on just a few centimeters."
Mg31 has a half-life of only 230 ms so, in less than a second, physicists can observe it decaying in the drop of liquid. And it's precisely this decay that gives the long-sought information. "By decaying, Mg31 emits beta particles," explains Magdalena. "As we polarized the Mg31 ions, this emission of beta particles isn't the same in all directions: we call this an 'anisotropy'." In simple words, scientists detect a different number of beta particles on "the left" detector than on "the right" one.
But what does this anisotropy mean? "From our theoretical models, we can deduce the interactions of the metal ions in the liquid by looking at the NMR radiofrequency that cancels the anisotropy," explains Alexander.
"By proving the feasibility of the technique, we have opened new doors for biochemistry," concludes Monika. "We are now preparing the next steps: injecting macromolecules and later proteins into the liquid to see how metal ions interact with them." The three experts confided that they were "extremely excited". No kidding!

Detective Chief Inspector Na'imah Astwood, Serious Crime Department – Good Afternoon.
The Bermuda Police Service can confirm that around 1:10am today (Wednesday, May 16th) a firearm incident occurred outside The Docksider Pub and Restaurant, Front Street, City of Hamilton.
An investigation regarding the circumstances is currently underway. The Serious Crime Unit is heading up inquiries, with Detective Sergeant Jason Smith and Detective Sergeant Dean Martin leading the investigative team regarding this confirmed firearm incident.
There were no injuries reported and detectives are working with community partners to progress this investigation.
It is very early in the investigation and we are not ruling out any possibilities, including that this incident may be gang related
It is disappointing, as the last confirmed discharge of a firearm was 3rd November 2017 – over 6 months ago.
As a result of this development, members of the general public can expect high visibility policing patrols and should not be surprised if stop and search powers are used.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses, as well as any individuals who were at the establishment when the incident occurred – or persons with relevant photos/video footage, to contact Detective Sergeant Jason Smith on 717-0864, 247-1739 or the independent and anonymous Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477 at the earliest opportunity.

Job Wanted by Teresa Bateman, illustrated by Chris Sheban
When an old farm dog walks up to a farm looking for work, the farmer refuses. He sees dogs as a waste of food since they don't give anything back like chickens or cows do. The dog then offers to be a cow instead of a dog. He gets all of the cows into the barn and lined up ready for milking before the farmer gets there, but the farmer isn't interested in this dog-cow. The next thing the dog tries is to be a horse. He couldn't fit in the harness for the plow, but he could run ahead of the horse with treats to get the horse to plow faster. Still, the farmer was not interested in hiring the dog. The dog next tries to be a chicken and tidies up the chicken coop before settling down in a nest of hay himself. It's there that he finally proves the value of a dog on a farm to the reluctant farmer.
Bateman nicely incorporates a rhythm and repetition into her story. The pattern of the conversation between the dog and the farmer carries through the entire book, creating a framework that functions very nicely. On each job, the dog manages to be useful in his own way, something that is a nice surprise in the book rather than him trying to give milk or eggs himself. One immediately roots for the success of this hard-working dog.
Sheban's illustrations are done in watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil. The result is a picture book that glows with sunlight. There is a wonderful softness to the illustrations, gauzy light that plays across the farm and the characters.
A shining picture book about resilience and being yourself. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

So surprised to read you thought this card was "ok". I think it's absolutely fab! Trying to think of supplies I have that would allow me to case it cause I don't have that stamp set, ef, or dsp. Love your layout and those are certainly not colors I would have grabbed together, but your balance of them is perfection!

He's walking! My baby boy has finally gotten the hang of it! We've been trying to get him to walk forever but he was the most stubborn walker I've ever seen in my life. We'd hold his hands and try to get him to walk with us and he would hold his feet up in the air! He didn't want to walk! He had it all figured out, "If I start walking they won't carry me around every where so why would I want to do that?!?!" Chris is convinced that he walked all around the house at night while the rest of us were sleeping and now I'm convinced he was probably right! One day Jonah just started walking, and then he wouldn't stop! Two weeks later he is almost running- I'm serious it is sooo funny!!!! And he is getting himself up from a sitting position to a standing position in the middle of the floor without something to hold on to! Of course he still has the drunken baby waddle but he's officially a walker! Life as I know it will never be the same! There is nothing that is off limits any more!!!! But I'm happy. It's so exciting to see your baby reach different milestones and this means he is so much more independent, which is both good and bad. But it means he's growing up and the best is yet to come! Keep on walkin' little man!
You might be wondering how Brianna feels about all of this? She thinks it's hilarious! She really does! She stands behind him and says "Hehehehe... Momma look! Jonah's walkin!!!! He's so funny!!!" She's hilarious!

Its been awhile since I've done some good old Friday Letters, so here goes nothing!
Dear amazing people who read this blog-
FIVE MILLION PAGE VIEWS?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!! Insert peeing my pants here. Thank you for reading this space, even when life makes me neglect it. I have tons of ideas I want to post on, and in the coming weeks I want to get back to this space more. I love you all so very much and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Dear Grayson- Baby boy, I love you more than words can say. I'm so excited to have the summer off to spend with you but I really think that it is entirely unfair that when Daddy is home or you are at Aiyas house you sleep till 10. With Mommy, you're up at 7:30. Cut this crap out, okay? Mommy is tired and will be in a much better mood if she sleeps in. Also, changing your diaper isn't a punishment so please stop screaming as such before the neighbors call CYS on Mommy.
Dear Hubs-
You do realize its not a crime for you to empty/fill the dishwasher, correct? Same goes for changing the toilet paper roll. Other than that, I love your guts. However if that dishwasher thing doesn't change you are going to be eating off of paper plates until you get the idea.
Love Your Guts!
Dear Outer Banks-
August 2nd can not come fast enough. Now, I do not want to wish summer away but I can not wait to squish my toes in the sand and smell the salty air.
Now if you could just make sure the weather is fab that week, I would really appreciate it.
The lady who REALLY needs a vacation
Dear Mother Nature-
Now I totally get that with summer heat comes the possibility for thunderstorms, but can we catch a freaking break?! It has rained every day since summer started. Just once I would like to make a pool date so I can get a little bit of a tan. Please?!
The entirely too white girl.
Dear Wonderful Peeps at Jif-
Thank you for making the peanut butter and chocolate spread. It is worth every extra minute I have to spend hating life on the treadmill or making a fool of myself at Zumba to indulge in your deliciousness. People have said to try PB2 with Chocolate because its "the same". They are liars. I secretly want to spread you on all the things because you are that good, but as a big girl I will refrain. And no, that wasn't me sneaking downstairs at three am to spread you on a pretzel rod. I have no idea what you are talking about. Now, can we talk about a zero calorie version?!
The girl who is clearly delusional.
Happy Friday, Friends!!
