Fleet Financial Celebrates 20 Year Business Milestone with Charity, Hope For Youth. Two decades of excellence and innovation delivers business growth, industry recognition and shared success Fleet Financial will this year celebrate 20 outstanding years as Northern Ireland's leading contract hire and vehicle management provider with a year-long series of events and initiatives, it was announced.
Fleet Financial, the corporate division of Charles Hurst Group, has joined forces with its parent company to help launch a new business-to-business vehicle division. 'B2B' is geared to support local companies, from sole traders through to PLC's, and promises owners and managers-alike the best help, advice, choice and value with regards to their business needs.
Fleet Financial returned as a category sponsor for the UTV Business Eye Awards 2014, helping to recognise excellence in the Fleet Manufacturer award category. The gala event, held at The Culloden Estate & Spa, commended excellence and performance in 17 areas of local business activity.
In recent months I have had a lot of new enquires from new businesses asking 'what is contract hire'? I deal with contract all day,every day and it is second nature to me. I am fascinated by the return to growth in Northern Ireland and the emergence of many new small businesses that are starting to prosper. It has got me thinking again, business contact hire really is for every business, not just our large local companies. So for those businesses who are new to contract hire, here's a brief summary of the basics to help you:
From 1st October 2014, the paper tax disc will no longer need to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. If you have tax disc with any months left to run after that date, you can remove from the vehicle windscreen and destroy. This includes customers with a Northern Ireland address, however they will still need to display their MOT disc.
Read our latest article published in this month's Ulster Business Magazine...The most important element of improving driver behaviour is clear, consistent communication. It is important your employee understands the various implications of their failure to comply with their company vehicle policy, whether those are commercially or safety-related, because this depersonalises the issue.
George Osborne's latest budget was highly anticipated by local Belfast and Northern Ireland industries, including automotive. Fleet Financial's Sales Manager, Damian Campbell, offers his analysis of the latest budget and believes that a "reduction in fuel duty would act as a real catalyst to economic recovery and is still on everyone's wish list."
Fleet Financial, the leading Northern Ireland-based contract hire and vehicle management company, is set to continue its relationship with Business in the Community NI in 2014 and has marked the announcement by loaning a Toyota Prius electric car to the organisation, with the help of Charles Hurst Toyota, Boucher Road, Belfast.
Fleet Financial have just launched an exciting brand new marketing campaign. The campaign, designed by their Agency – Ardmore Advertising can be seen in October's issue of Ulster Business. The brief was to create a campaign which educated people about what Fleet Financial really do and to introduce their services to a wider group of consumers.
As a leading construction company, Graham Group has always put the environment at the forefront of its business and actively supports the reduction of carbon emissions to help tackle climate change and operate in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Delhi, Delhi India (PressExposure) March 08, 2007 -- Control and tighter regulations are required to make nanotechnology safer, proclaimed the U.N. on 5th February 2007. UNEP (U.N.'s Environment Program) in its yearly report on global environment said, swift action from the policy makers was the need of the hour so as to allow the proper evaluation of new science.
Nanotechnology offers tremendous potential for economic, social, and environmental advantages. The benefits range from newer techniques in the world of medicines to saving of energy and material, plus the progress in pollution detection & remediation.
In commercial world, nanotechnology aims at developing new products & materials by creating or changing materials at molecular and atomic levels. However, the potential risks associated with further production of nanomaterial need the immediate attention of governments and businesses throughout the world.
Since, the impacts on environment are still largely unknown and thereâs an absence of public controls as well. More systematic research and sector specific policies are needed to identify the socio-economic, health, and environmental hazards.
While still at its infant stage, nanotechnology is a booming industry. Accountable for below 0.1% in 2004, itâs expected to capture about 14% of US$ 2.6 Trillion manufacturing market worldwide by the year 2014, as per UNEP.
UNEP is calling for greater co-operation between the public and private sectors as well as the industrialized and developing economies. The agency also intends to educate the masses about the technology, so that awareness can be increased about the benefits & risk associated with nanotechnology.
RNCOS has just published its much-awaited report on âThe World Nanotechnology Market (2006)â. According to this report, toxicity & its exposure to both environment and human is the most pressing issue at present. This is, more appropriately, a safety & heath issue and not a political or ethical issue. However, due to the perceived novelty of nanotechnology, thereâre increased concerns that the technology is likely to present new kinds of hazard or exposure. Therefore, it will raise new questions as to how to deal with them.
About the Report
The research report also addresses the issues and facts that are critical to business success. For example, it includes the global outlook of nanotechnology market, analysis of the market by various products & application areas, their market and growth prospects. Also covered in this report are the opportunities and challenges before Nanotechnology.
About RNCOS:
RNCOS, incorporated in the year 2002, is an industry research firm. It has a team of industry experts who analyze data collected from credible sources. They provide industry insights and analysis that helps corporations to take timely and accurate business decision in today's globally competitive environment.

Pat Metheny: No Boundaries
Pat Metheny's recordings have netted 16 Grammy Awards in nine different categories. Pat's stature as one of today's most influential guitarists and jazz composers owes something to his disregard of musical boundaries.
|Timothy White
During the three decades of Pat Metheny's mercurial career, numerous journalists have used a lot of ink to describe his wide-ranging musical output. To date, Metheny has released 30 albums that have netted 16 Grammy Awards in nine different categories. The sheer number of wins ties him with Sting and Aretha Franklin in the roster of top-10 all-time Grammy winners. He is in a class all by himself however for winning trophies in jazz, pop, rock, instrumental composition, and other categories. Through the years, Metheny has created critically acclaimed recordings with such diverse artists as Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius, David Bowie, Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, and of course, the Pat Metheny Group.
Metheny's 16th Grammy statuette was awarded for his 2003 solo guitar album One Quiet Night, which won for best new-age performance. In a recent conversation at his Manhattan rehearsal studio, Metheny shrugged off the significance of the diversity of his awards. His stature as one of the most influential guitarists and composers in contemporary music owes something to his sense of music having no boundaries and many other factors he mentioned in our wide-ranging discussion.
Growing up in the 1960s in then-rural Lee's Summit, Missouri, Metheny came to believe that stylistic categories were unimportant in music. "I was just a fan of music, and I didn't know that there were differences in style," Metheny says. "To me, music was music; it was just one big thing. The Beach Boys, the Beatles, Miles Davis, and Ornette Coleman were unified by the fact that their records were mixed together on the shelves of the little drugstore in our town. There were no different sections. Back then, there were musical things that I liked and wanted to learn, and they really jumped out at me. I never made much distinction about style. That's still sort of true."
Trial by Fire
Although he will turn 50 this August, when Metheny arrived on the scene he was hailed as a prodigy. He began playing trumpet at eight and switched to guitar at 14. After he started jamming with players in the Kansas City area, he began getting calls for gigs. "That changed my life and gave me an incredible head start. In my early days in Kansas City, I was fortunate to have been taken under the wings of some of the best players. Paul Smith was the piano player in a group led by a trumpet player named Gary Sivils. I sat right by Paul's left hand and would watch the bass notes and his voicings. I already knew the basics of harmony, but I didn't know too many tunes. Watching him play was probably the best instruction I could get.
Another guy, an organ player named Russ Long with whom I played a lot, would intentionally run me ragged. Once he figured out that I didn't know a tune, he would always call it. After I learned it, he'd never call it again. He also played very fast tempos and played the tunes in weird keys. It was trial by fire, but it was great for me.
"Another local musician named John Elliot was a great pianist and teacher who had a very unique way of thinking about harmony in terms of parallel keys and bitonality. The guys from Kansas City played mostly by ear. Even chord symbols back then were not standardized. It wasn't until I began playing with Gary Burton that I learned about the modes and got a formalized view of harmony. When I saw Gary give his basic lecture on jazz harmony in about 1973, it was the first time it all became clear to me. I'd never heard anyone describe chords and note choices with such depth and clarity."

No Bluffing
Before his encounter with Burton, Metheny spent a year in Miami and made new and important connections there. "I left Kansas City after graduating from high school. I need to add here that mine was sort of a 'mercy' graduation. I hadn't taken a book home since I started playing gigs, but there were only a few subjects that I couldn't schmooze my way through. When I was a senior in high school, a guy named Bill Lee, who was dean at the University of Miami, heard me play in a club and offered me a full scholarship to go there.
That brought an incredible sigh of relief from my parents because they didn't know what was going to happen with me. I was only too glad to take the scholarship because I knew some other musicians who were involved with that school. When I got there and went to History 101 the first day, I felt all but illiterate. I knew there was no way I could bluff my way through college. I was only a student there for about two weeks. After that, I started getting involved with the music scene; and within a few days, my new best friend was Jaco Pastorius.
"That year, the university offered electric guitar as a principal instrument and went from a few guitar majors to about 80. After I told them that I couldn't make it as student, I was offered a job on the music faculty because I'd had quite a bit of playing experience. I taught for one year. During that time, I went back to the Midwest to play at a jazz festival. Hearing that Gary Burton was on the bill helped me decide to drive to Wichita to play. Later that summer, we both taught at a band camp and after that, Gary invited me to come to Boston to teach at Berklee. I think he was checking me out as a possible candidate to be in his band then, too. So I moved to Boston in 1973.
"The year that I spent in Miami was when what is identifiable as my style began to emerge. It became further refined while I was in Boston. I had never seen so many guitar players as I saw there. I didn't know what to expect when Gary said he wanted me to teach the top 30 of the hundreds of guitarists at the school. I admit I was a bit puzzled, yet I did have a lot of experience playing that other 19-year olds didn't have. What I'd learned on the bandstand at an early age was a huge advantage."
Metheny's style and goals became even more focused during Metheny's tenure at Berklee and during the three years he spent as a member of Burton's band. "That period was a very important for me on many levels. When you are 19 or 20 years old, everything moves at a velocity that you will never experience again in your life. I really encourage kids that age to practice 18 hours a day, stay up all night playing music with their friends, transcribe anything that they like, and take every gig that comes along. It is a period in life when you can make enormous progress in short periods of time. It was that way for me."
Communication and Illumination
"Some of my first students at Berklee were really good players - including Mike Stern who studied with me for six years. I felt there were ways I could help these guys by communicating about real-world playing situations. In fact, most of the music that was on my first album, Bright Size Life, was written as exercises for my students during that first semester. [A number of the album's songs appeared in the first edition of the Real Book. The tune "Unity Village" appears as Exercise 6.] I wanted to illuminate aspects of harmony and other things that I was curious about as an improviser that I couldn't apply in standards. During that same period, I would call Jaco to come up for gigs around Boston. It was a very interesting time. There was a lot going on in Boston then. Things that players were experimenting with were quite revolutionary at the time. Now they are almost taken for granted."
Being a member of Burton's quintet alongside guitarist Mick Goodrick, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Bob Moses further shaped Metheny's musical voice. "Not only were those guys master players, they were very individual conceptionalists - as was Jaco. In my estimation, that may have been the last period in jazz where that was important. In order to exist in jazz then, you had to be a good player, you also had to have a concept and identity - a sound and vision of what jazz could be. It wasn't enough to be a second- or third-generation copy of someone else. That was drilled into me back in Kansas City, but it crystallized as I stood next to Gary each night onstage hearing him play in such an individual and virtuosic way. All of the guys in the band were completely original. So I figured I had to come up with a concept, too.
"The idea of creating a unique identity in jazz has gotten clouded over the last 20 years. Now people feel that to play well is enough. It wasn't enough in the 1970s and I don't think it's enough now. It's not even half the battle. You need to develop a sense of artistry and be able to communicate something. You have to render in sound something that is meaningful to you as an individual that might be of interest to someone else. Gary, Swallow, Moses, Jaco, and others did that naturally. It was just part of who they were as musicians."
|"I still enjoy playing tunes from the Bright Size Life album. They still feel current and viable to me. I have never felt like any one direction I've explored was no longer relevant. To me, it's all still going on." -Pat Metheny
Apprenticing with the Blacksmith
"When I was in Gary's band, if I wasn't communicating in the way that those guys did because I was so young, I would hear about it! Sometimes we would have meetings after the gig where Gary would talk to me for hours about developing ideas, what notes to play over what chords, time, dynamics, and pacing. These are the things now that are essential to who I've become as a musician. In his very generous but rigorous instruction, Gary was like a blacksmith pounding into shape what was emerging in my musical identity. It was great for me; but at the same time, after three years, both of us knew it was time for me to move on."
Metheny wanted to go on to another sideman position; but in 1977, fusion music dominated, and both his sound and playing style did not fit the bill. "Most of the guitar gigs involved playing loud in a rock-oriented context and involved soloing over one chord. Even now, I am not interested in vamps. It doesn't matter if it is a John Scofield vamp or a Miles vamp or a Weather Report vamp; I know what is going to happen. Things are going to start soft and get louder and busier. It's been that way for 30 years, and I'm just not that interested. So after leaving Gary's band, I was kind of forced into doing my own thing."
Metheny's 1975 trio debut for the ECM label, Bright Size Life with Jaco Pastorius and Bob Moses, put him on the map with music fans and critics alike. The 1977 follow-up, Watercolors, featured Metheny with bassist Eberhard Weber and future Pat Metheny Group members, drummer Danny Gottlieb and keyboardist Lyle Mays. It was the first recorded collaboration between Metheny and Mays and contained the seeds that would soon flower when Metheny, Mays, Gottlieb, and bassist Mark Egan joined forces to become the Pat Metheny Group.
Incredible Rapport
"When I met Lyle Mays, right off the bat we had an incredible rapport," says Metheny. "I had a little momentum going after winning a few jazz magazine polls as 'talent deserving wider recognition' and the previous records I'd made were well received. When I started the band, I was able to pay Lyle $30 a night, and Danny Gottlieb and Mark Egan $25 each. We were earning between $100 and $400 a night. I took the money that I'd saved from working with Gary and from when I had a paper route as a kid and bought a van and Lyle's polyphonic Oberheim synthesizer."
Metheny and company began to tour in May of 1977. They criss-crossed the country in the van taking every gig that came in. Metheny remembers one week when they played in Seattle on a Thursday, Dallas on Sunday, and Quebec City on Tuesday and took filler gigs at points in between. With few breaks, Metheny essentially stayed on tour in the United States and abroad until 1992. "I want to let young people who read this know that I still believe that anyone who has something really strong musically and is willing to go out and play hundreds of gigs for little or no bread has a very good chance of developing an audience on their own terms. I meet a lot of jazz guys who are sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. It didn't work back in the 1970s, and I don't think it works now. You have to get out there to make something happen."
And things did happen. The group's eponymous debut recording, (which Metheny often refers to as the White Album) initially sold 150,000 copies - a runaway hit in the jazz world. "That was a shock to me," Metheny says. "If someone had walked up and hit me with a two-by-four, I wouldn't have been any more stunned. What we were doing wasn't much different than what we'd been doing on the road. We were scuffling, we weren't packing them in anywhere, and were mostly opening for other artists, but we always got a good reaction. There was a groundswell of interest, and it was moving beyond the world of jazz. That too surprised me because it was never our intention to reach beyond the jazz audience. We just wanted to address areas like musical form and dynamics and the other things we had explored on that record. It became very successful and went on to sell several hundred thousand copies. That took everyone by surprise - especially me."
New Territory
One of the many appealing aspects of the group has always been Metheny's multifaceted and very personal style of guitar playing. Throughout his teens, Metheny had been steeped in jazz, but the catchy guitar textures he heard in songs on the radio by the Byrds, the Beatles, and other groups also affected him deeply. When he started out, many idiomatic guitar sounds and techniques were not utilized in jazz. The Pat Metheny Group's concerts have always featured the leader playing a variety of six-string acoustic and electric guitars, 12-string and nylon-string guitars, as well as guitar synthesizer. "No one had really explored the textural aspects of guitar playing in jazz," he says. "I began a process of trying to expand the role of guitar in jazz that is ongoing. Guitar had a lot to offer the music. The whole idea incorporating these sounds in a small group in an orchestrational and soloistic fashion is a big part of what I've been working to address for years."
While recording the White Album, American Garage, and As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls, he highlighted these sounds, it wasn't until his 80/81 album that Metheny prominently featured wild acoustic guitar strumming and finger-picked selections in the company of jazz stalwarts such as Jack DeJohnette (drums), Dewey Redman and Michael Brecker (saxophones), and Charlie Haden (bass). "That was new territory," Metheny says. "Having the guitar function in a rhythm section that way and join in the polyrhythmic aspects of drumming through strumming had not been applied much in jazz before that. I am still very interested in exploring it further."
Another drawing card for Metheny's music is the material that Metheny has written alone or in collaboration with Lyle Mays. It is difficult to dissect the music and determine just why the compositions themselves have such widespread appeal. Many have noted Metheny's gift for creating memorable melodies and linking them to unusual harmonies that go beyond the jazz vocabulary.
"Years ago when I was at the University of Miami, I realized that there were certain areas that I was interested in as a player that I couldn't get to by playing the blues, standards, or even advanced tunes like Wayne Shorter's. The things that I wanted to play were not being represented in the music that I was able to find, so I started writing my own. The first real tune I wrote was "April Joy" around the time I was turning 18. That set up this zone that I wanted to explore as an improviser. The tune wound up on the White Album. Once the group started, the idea of writing music for the sake of exploring compositional avenues really blossomed."
Audience members saw imaginary places and stories in Metheny's music and a number of film producers felt Metheny's music was perfect for soundtracks. Of the movies he has scored, The Falcon and the Snowman (1984) and A Map of the World (1999) are noteworthy, and selections from each still appear on the band's set lists from time to time.
"It seems that early on, there was an element in my music that I wasn't really aware of. People felt it had a cinematic quality and evoked imagery. That wasn't intentional; the music just came out that way. It was a surprise when people started asking me about scoring movies. It was an area that I had been interested in, and I am still interested in it.
"I did eight or 10 films and for the first couple I was just happy to get through it and not get fired! It's very stressful, high-pressure work. And it is a job where you can be at the whim of people - like the director's wife or the second director's cousin - who have no idea what they're talking about. All of them have influence on whether what you are writing is deemed acceptable or correct for the film. Yet ultimately your job is to satisfy the customer.
I went into film scoring somewhat spoiled because I was used to creating my own universe on my own terms. I think all of the people I've done scores for would say I did a good job and satisfied their needs. But after a while, I started to think, 'Gee, I can spend the next three months on tour and make a record, or I can score this film.' These days, I pick the tour and the record."
Musical Inevitability
Metheny will release his 31st album, a new Pat Metheny Group outing, later this year. While some might think that the more music a person has written, the easier it becomes. Metheny says having written so much makes it harder, forcing him to dig deeper to find not only new ideas but the right ideas.
"There are certain kinds of resolutions, harmonies, melodies, and ways of improvising that, for me as a player, are perfect examples of the things I love most about music. Some of the choices in a piece like 'Map of the World' couldn't go any other way. The piece has to go that way. That quality of inevitability in music is what I really respond to. Certain things make some music very compelling to me as a listener, and they are prerequisites for gaining my enthusiasm. Oddly, most jazz does not have that for me, but when I think of the music that has it the most for me, it's jazz. It doesn't occur that often in jazz, but it does happen in the music of Miles, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins, and the other greats; I find the compelling qualities - that inevitability - there in abundance. It's rare in jazz, and a lot of jazz just goes in one ear and out the other for me. It almost doesn't matter if the players are great if it doesn't have qualities that say to me this music could only go this way. That's universal in all the music that I love."
To Metheny, the spiritual side of his music - that which connects with the soul of the listener - is both the most important and least quantifiable element. "We can talk about melody, rhythm, and chords all day, but in many ways none of them really matter. What does matter is the effect that music or any human endeavor can have on other people. For me, that's what it is all about. It's about trying to manifest in sound the qualities, ideas, and features that are the good things that make being part of life on earth such a privilege. Trying to come up with things that accurately reflect the details of what I've seen and experienced has been more of a focus for me than the process of how you do that. The point of all this is to offer to others the same things that I have gotten as a fan of music. You give them a mirror to find something about themselves through what you offer. There is a quality that some music has that accomplishes that. With instrumental music, jazz, classical, or other music, since there is no text, people can really find things in it. Instrumental music transcends every language and is very international. I think the best instrumental music offers people a real window into something that they can't find elsewhere."
Metheny has created a large body of work encompassing 30 albums so far and composed more than 200 pieces. However, he doesn't spend much time thinking about the contribution he's made to contemporary music. "I don't allow myself the luxury of looking at that," he says. "Maybe someday I will, but I'm in the middle of it now and don't feel able to assess anything in those terms. The issues that I've been concerned about as I've tried to learn music over the years have remained fairly consistent. There are some musicians who do one thing and then move on to something different. That hasn't been the case for me. I still enjoy playing tunes from the Bright Size Life album. They still feel current and viable to me. I have never felt like any one direction I've explored was no longer relevant. To me, it's all still going on."

After making a start with ISI LIFE MEIN under Rajshri banner, Akshay almost waited for four years and strived hard until he fetched PIZZA. Post the Bejoy Nambiar film, he was inundated with offers. Akshay was last seen in PIKU in a small role. Today he has as good as four films in hand – FITOOR, BOMBARIYA, GURGAON, and YEH LAAL RANG.
"The whole industry can be in denial sometimes. You get carried away sometimes by the illusion and can't accept the ground reality. So I don't want to fall in that trap anymore. I should know at every point in my career where mentally exactly I am, where I have reached and where I have not. And that's the only way to keep being seen. I know for a matter of fact that there was a time when I went knocking from door to door to please the filmmakers and text them in different styles to bag that one 'good opportunity'. But that was very difficult. So when I talk from this point, when I have 4 projects that too good ones, I feel really happy. For me this is growth. This is one step forward. So every year if I keep moving one step forward, I can ask for nothing more," says the actor.
Akshay further says that Bollywood loves 'slotting' actors. However, this practice will be wiped out one fine day, according to him "Our industry loves categorizing actors. You suddenly witness Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapoor in one bracket, then stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan in another bracket, while Khans in yet another bracket. And if that is not enough let's put the rest others in one bunch or slot them as indie actors who work for parallel cinema and all. So this has been prevalent for a long time. But I think in next 5-6 years all these bracket system will go away because of the audience. There won't be any slotting of actors," says Akshay
"Having said that, in an industry where so much of slotting and bracketing is done, I am very fortunate that the same industry has given a chance to actors like me. The reality of the situation is that we have so many films releasing and just five actors can't do all those films. You need more people for the industry to grow. And I am proof of that finally industry is growing and giving chances to younger, newer people. I think that way we are on the right path," he adds on a parting note.

A: Commissaries are an integral part of the quality of life offered to service members and their families. The Scholarships for Military Children Program was created in recognition of the contributions of military families to the readiness of the fighting force and to celebrate the role of the commissary in the military family community. It is the intent of the program that a scholarship funded through contributions be awarded annually for each commissary operated by the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) worldwide.
Q: Why is Fisher House Foundation involved?
A: The Fisher House program provides a "Home Away from Home" near military medical centers for families experiencing a personal medical crisis and is one of the premiere quality of life organizations supporting military families. The Foundation was looking for a way to expand their service to military families and has volunteered to underwrite administration of the program.
Q: How many scholarships will be awarded and what is the award amount?
A: The goal of the scholarship program is to award a minimum of one $2,000 scholarship at each commissary location that receives applications from students who meet all of the eligibility requirements. Based on the number of applications received, more than one scholarship may be awarded at some commissaries.
Q: Who is eligible to apply to the Scholarships for Military Children Program?
A: Only dependent unmarried children under age 23 of active duty personnel, reserve/guard and retired military members, or survivors of service members who died while on active duty (also see Heroes' Legacy Scholarship) or survivors of individuals who died while receiving retired pay from the military, may apply for a scholarship. Dependent children of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Public Health Service, other federal or military related agencies or activities, or DoD civilian employees are not eligible unless they meet the above requirement. Applicants should ensure that they, as well as their sponsor, are currently enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) database (call 1-800-538-9552) and that they have a current ID card.
Applicants must be enrolled, or planning to enroll, in a full-time undergraduate program of study leading to a bachelor's degree at an accredited U.S. college or university in the fall term of 2018. High school applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 basis). College applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50. College freshmen must submit a first semester college transcript.
Applicants attending a community or junior college must be enrolled in a program of study designed to allow them to transfer directly into a four-year program. No scholarships will be awarded to those pursuing an associates degree as their final degree, second undergraduate, or graduate school degree.
The scholarship awards will be given for a maximum of 4 years. Exceptions can be considered if the student is enrolled in an undergraduate program of study that normally requires more than 4 years. All exceptions will be handled on an individual basis. Except in very unusual circumstances, the scholarship award cannot be deferred for future use -- it must be used during the upcoming academic year.
Q: Can I receive a scholarship grant if I plan to attend a two-year community or junior college?
A: Yes, if your program of studies is designed to allow you to transfer directly into a four-year program.
Q: I do not qualify for a DoD ID card because I am older than 21 and not a full-time college student, but plan on attending college as a full-time student. Can I apply for a scholarship grant?
A: Yes, with the stipulations that you can provide proof that you did qualify for an ID card until you reached your 21st birthday; and if you are selected, you must provide proof from an accredited college or university that you will be enrolled as a full-time student in order to receive the scholarship grant.
Q: I understand that children are now considered dependents through age 26. Why can't a child over 23 but younger than 26 apply?
A: A child is a military dependent through age 21, or through age 23, if enrolled as a full time college student. There are laws that permit parents to extend their medical insurance coverage, including through Tricare, to their children through the child's 26th birthday, but only if they or their parents pay the full premium for that coverage. The law did not extend military dependency status to age 26 for any other purpose. Therefore, it would be unfair to revise the eligibility for a scholarship grant through the Scholarships for Military Children Program, based solely upon the payment of premiums to extend medical insurance coverage to an individual under age 26.
Q: My sponsor is not available to sign the application, what do I do?
A: If your sponsor is not available to sign the application, you may have the parent that you live with sign the application. Please include a short note with your application explaining why your sponsor cannot sign the form.
Q: Where can I get an application and where do I turn it in?
A: Applications can be picked up at your local commissary and are also available as a PDF file on this website. Click here
Applications may be filled out using Adobe Acrobat, however once completed, you must print it out and hand-carry or mail it to your local commissary. Applications may not be emailed or faxed. Applicants may apply at only one commissary. Individuals who submit an application at more than one commissary will be disqualified from consideration for a scholarship. It is the applicants' sole responsibility to ensure that their complete application package is received at a commissary by the close of business on February 16, 2018. Please note that this is not a postmark date!
Q: What if my sponsor is stationed at an installation that does not have a commissary?
A: Applicants, or their sponsors, need not live at an installation that has a commissary. Applicants may submit their application at any commissary, however it is recommended that they submit the application where their sponsors normally shop or closest to where their sponsors live. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to ensure the commissary receives the complete application package. If it is not possible (due to distance considerations) for the applicants to submit their applications in person, they may also mail, UPS, or FedEx their completed applications. Packages should be addressed to the commissary and the attention of "Store Director". A complete list of commissaries, along with phone numbers, can be found at www.commissaries.com.
Q: Which transcripts should I submit?
A: Current high school seniors and college students who have not completed their first semester must submit high school transcripts. College students who have completed at least one semester must submit a college transcript. Official transcripts are preferred but unofficial transcripts will be accepted.
Q: My high school will not release my official transcript to me. Is there another way to get the information required for the scholarship?
A: The preferred course of action is to ask the school if they will put the transcript in a sealed envelope, which can be included with the application (be sure your name is on the envelope). If the school will not agree to this, the student or parent should contact the school guidance department and inform them that schools are required by law to release "unofficial" transcripts to parents (if the child is under the age of 18) or to the student (if the child is 18 or older). We will accept an "unofficial" transcript as a last resort.
Q: Are home-schooled children eligible to apply, and if so, what are the requirements for their transcript submissions?
A: Yes. They should submit the same transcripts that they submit to colleges and universities when applying for admission.
Q: I am a DoD Civilian in Europe and have an ID card and commissary privileges. Can my son or daughter apply?
A: The key factor in eligibility is "children of military active duty, reserve/guard, retired, or deceased." There are many civilians who work for/with the military overseas and they are permitted many of the same privileges military members enjoy (such as commissary, exchange and medical). But this program is intended to focus on "military family and quality of life" initiatives. The intent of "Scholarships for Military Children" is certainly not to exclude civilians who are also making valuable contributions, but to honor and recognize those who serve their country through the U.S. military, guard or reserve forces.
Q: My parent is in the reserves and I do not have a military dependent ID card nor am I registered in DEERS? What do I do?
A: Your sponsor should contact the personnel office that services his or her unit or the local military installation Pass and ID Office.
Q: I am the dependent spouse and also the son or daughter of an active or retired service member. Can I apply?
A: This program is open to dependent military children only. There are other programs available to military spouses, such as the Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Scholarship Program, administered by the National Military Family Association. The installation education center normally has information on these programs. Once a dependent child marries, he or she loses eligibility.
Q: Who manages the application and selection process?
A: The entire application and selection process is independently managed by Scholarship Managers (SM), an international, not for profit, scholarship service organization. All decisions reached by SM are final. Questions must be sent via email to SM at firstname.lastname@example.com. It is very important to note that DeCA and the Fisher House Foundation are NOT involved in any aspect of the selection and notification process and should not be contacted for these matters.
Q: Is a child restricted from applying if a parent works on the installation or at the commissary?
A: Since neither DeCA nor the federal government is administering the scholarship program, anyone who is a qualified ID card holder, enrolled in DEERS and meets the scholarship criteria may apply. A parent's place of employment is not a factor in the selection process.
Q: Are manufacturers raising prices to fund the scholarship program?
A: Funding of the scholarship program is provided by commissary business partners such as manufacturers, suppliers or vendors who normally provide gifts or prizes for patrons through various promotional programs. Those funds instead are being donated to this unified cause though the Fisher House Foundation, program administrator for Scholarships for Military Children. Product pricing is not affected by donations to the Scholarships for Military Children Program.
Q: When will the recipients and non-recipients be notified?
A: A personal letter will be sent to the recipients' home addresses (as given on the application) on or about May 6th. Due to the large volume of applications received, and to minimize administrative costs, non-recipients will not be notified personally. The names, and commissary locations, of all the recipients will be posted at www.militaryscholar.org on or about May 19th.
Q: When and where will the scholarship checks be mailed?
A: SM will mail the checks to the recipients' home address on or about
August 1st.
Q: Who are the scholarship checks made payable to?
A: Scholarship checks issued by Scholarship Managers are made payable to the school the recipients will attend, not to the student. SM will issue a "Stop Payment" order on checks that are not cashed within 90 days of issuance and your scholarship will be forfeited.
Q: How much is the scholarship award?
A: The Scholarship for Military Children Program will award a minimum of one $2,000 scholarship at each commissary that has qualified applicants. The awards are made without regard to race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, religious belief, national origin, rank or service of the sponsor.
Q: How may the scholarships be used?
A: IRS Publication 970 states that scholarships may be used to pay for qualified expenses, which include tuition, fees, lab fees and books. Other degree-related costs (like supplies or equipment required for specific classes) that are purchased from, and paid directly, to the school are also allowed.
IRS Publication 970 specifically states that scholarship money used to pay for room, board and travel is not tax exempt, and as such, is beyond the desired purpose of this program.
Q: If I was a previous "Scholarships for Military Children" recipient, can I apply again?
A: Yes!

Price Paid: $270
I have had this GPS unit for about a year now and I still don't really know how to use it. The background maps are great for when you are traveling but they aren't much use when you are out in the wilderness. I think the GPS is very durable. I have taken it on several backpacking trips and canoeing trips and not once has it konked out on me. It is sometimes frustrating as with any GPS when you aren't getting a clear signal or when it takes forever to find one when you first boot up the GPS. I really thought that I was going to get way more use out of the GPS but sadly sometimes my map is just as good.
It really is a good GPS if you can get it for cheaper than what I got it for. I had a gift certificate which is why I got this one. If I had to buy a GPS again I would spend the extra money and get one that you can download maps in to.
Where to Buy
Magellan eXplorist 300
$139.93 - $199.99
The Magellan eXplorist 300 is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen July 27, 2006 at REI.

Small blasts hit University of Oregon power system
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
EUGENE — A series of explosions hit an underground utility system Monday at the University of Oregon, plunging several buildings into darkness as crews scrambled to restore power.
Nobody was hurt, but the blasts created headaches for hundreds of students and staff as they returned for the first day of classes after winter break. The student health center was closed, and about eight buildings — many of them residence halls — remains dark hours after the blasts. A slight smell of burning rubber lingered in some areas.
Officials said the explosions appeared to be related to the campus electrical supply, but they were still trying to pinpoint the cause. There was no estimate for when power would be restored.
The blasts were audible above the ground and from several hundred feet away. A video clip from the campus showed puffs of smoke coming from a manhole cover.
In a dormitory near the blast, pitch-black stairwells became obstacles for students trying to get to class, said Camila Rowland, a freshman majoring in psychology.
"We're using flashlights now," she said. Some cafeterias were closed, Rowland added, so those with power were unusually packed with students. And officials told students to try to limit their use of bathroom facilities.
Starting around 10 a.m., about five blasts issued from the tunnel system where power to university buildings is distributed, followed by a series of explosions over a half hour, said campus police spokesman Kelly McIver.
When the blasts started, two electrical workers were nearby in the tunnel system, but it's unknown whether they had anything to do with the explosions, McIver said.
"They exited the tunnel quickly and were not hurt," he said.
Law student Patrice Bishop-Foster said she was listening to music and heard a popping noise, and it took a few seconds to register that the noise wasn't part of the song. The flights flickered in the gym, she said.
The university has about 24,600 students.

CRS Annotated Constitution
|Article I -- Table of Contents
|Prev | Next
Clause 3. No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.[p.347]
Bills of Attainder
"Bills of attainder . . . are such special acts of the legislature, as inflict capital punishments upon persons supposed to be guilty of high offences, such as treason and felony, without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings. If an act inflicts a milder degree of punishment than death, it is called a bill of pains and penalties. . . . In such cases, the legislature assumes judicial magistracy, pronouncing upon the guilt of the party without any of the common forms and guards of trial, and satisfying itself with proofs, when such proofs are within its reach, whether they are conformable to the rules of evidence, or not. In short, in all such cases, the legislature exercises the highest power of sovereignty, and what may be properly deemed an irresponsible despotic discretion, being governed solely by what it deems political necessity or expediency, and too often under the influence of unreasonable fears, or unfounded suspicions."1701 The phrase "bill of attainder," as used in this clause and in clause 1 of Sec. 10, applies to bills of pains and penalties as well as to the traditional bills of attainder.1702
The prohibition embodied in this clause is not to be strictly and narrowly construed in the context of traditional forms but is to be interpreted in accordance with the designs of the framers so as to preclude trial by legislature, a violation of the separation of powers concept.1703 The clause thus prohibits all legislative acts, "no matter what their form, that apply either to named individuals or to easily ascertainable members of a group in such a way as to inflict punishment on them without a judicial trial. . . ."1704 That the Court has applied the clause dynamically is revealed by a consideration of the three cases in which acts of Congress have been struck down as violating it.1705 In Ex parte Garland,1706 the Court struck down a statute that required attorneys to take an oath that they had taken no part in the Confederate rebellion against the United States before they could practice in federal courts. The statute, and a state constitutional amendment requiring a similar oath of per[p.348]sons before they could practice certain professions,1707 were struck down as legislative acts inflicting punishment on a specific group the members of which had taken part in the rebellion and therefore could not truthfully take the oath. The clause then lay unused until 1946 when the Court utilized it to strike down a rider to an appropriations bill forbidding the use of money appropriated therein to pay the salaries of three named persons whom the House of Representatives wished discharged because they were deemed to be "subversive."1708
Then, in United States v. Brown,1709 a sharply divided Court held void as a bill of attainder a statute making it a crime for a member of the Communist Party to serve as an officer or as an employee of a labor union. Congress could, Chief Justice Warren wrote for the majority, under its commerce power, protect the economy from harm by enacting a prohibition generally applicable to any person who commits certain acts or possesses certain characteristics making him likely in Congress' view to initiate political strikes or other harmful deeds and leaving it to the courts to determine whether a particular person committed the specified acts or possessed the specified characteristics; it was impermissible, however, for Congress to designate a class of persons—members of the Communist Party—as being forbidden to hold union office.1710 The dissenters viewed the statute as merely expressing in shorthand the characteristics of those persons who were likely to utilize union responsibilities to accomplish harmful acts; Congress could validly conclude that all members of the Communist Party possessed those characteristics.1711 The majority's decision in Brown cast in doubt certain statutes and certain statutory formulations that had been held not to constitute bills of attainder. For example, a predecessor of the statute struck down in Brown, which had conditioned a union's access to the NLRB upon the filing of affidavits by all of the union's officers attesting that they were not members of or affiliated with the Communist Party, had been upheld,1712 and although Chief Justice Warren distinguished the previous case from[p.349]Brown on the basis that the Court in the previous decision had found the statute to be preventive rather than punitive,1713 he then proceeded to reject the contention that the punishment necessary for a bill of attainder had to be punitive or retributive rather than preventive,1714 thus undermining the prior decision. Of much greater significance was the effect of the Brown decision on "conflict–of– interest" legislation typified by that upheld in Board of Governors v. Agnew.1715 The statute there forbade any partner or employee of a firm primarily engaged in underwriting securities from being a director of a national bank.1716 Chief Justice Warren distinguished the prior decision and the statute on three grounds from the statute then under consideration. First, the union statute inflicted its deprivation upon the members of a suspect political group in typical bill–of–attainder fashion, unlike the statute in Agnew. Second, in the Agnew statute, Congress did not express a judgment upon certain men or members of a particular group; it rather concluded that any man placed in the two positions would suffer a temptation any man might yield to. Third, Congress established in the Agnew statute an objective standard of conduct expressed in shorthand, which precluded persons from holding the two positions.
Apparently withdrawing from the Brown analysis in upholding a statute providing for governmental custody of documents and recordings accumulated during the tenure of former President Nixon,1717 the Court set out a rather different formula for deciding bill of attainder cases.1718 The law specifically applied only to President Nixon and directed an executive agency to assume control over the materials and prepare regulations providing for ultimate public dissemination of at least some of them; the act assumed that it did not deprive the former President of property rights but authorized the award of just compensation if it should be judicially determined that there was a taking. First, the Court[p.350]denied that the clause denies the power to Congress to burden some persons or groups while not so treating all other plausible individuals or groups; even the present law's specificity in referring to the former President by name and applying only to him did not condemn the act because he "constituted a legitimate class of one" on whom Congress could "fairly and rationally" focus.1719 Second, even if the statute's specificity did bring it within the prohibition of the clause, the lodging of Mr. Nixon's materials with the GSA did not inflict punishment within the meaning of the clause. This analysis was a three– pronged one: 1) the law imposed no punishment traditionally judged to be prohibited by the clause; 2) the law, viewed functionally in terms of the type and severity of burdens imposed, could rationally be said to further nonpunitive legislative purposes; and 3) the law had no legislative record evincing a congressional intent to punish.1720 That is, the Court, looking "to its terms, to the intent expressed by Members of Congress who voted its passage, and to the existence or nonexistence of legitimate explanations for its apparent effect," concluded that the statute served to further legitimate policies of preserving the availability of evidence for criminal trials and the functioning of the adversary legal system and in promoting the preservation of records of historical value, all in a way that did not and was not intended to punish the former President.
The clause protects individual persons and groups who are vulnerable to nonjudicial determinations of guilt and does not apply to a State; neither does a State have standing to invoke the clause for its citizens against the Federal Government.1721
Ex Post Facto Laws
Definition.—At the time the Constitution was adopted, many persons understood the term ex post facto laws to "embrace all retrospective laws, or laws governing or controlling past transactions, whether . . . of a civil or a criminal nature."1722 But in the early case of Calder v. Bull,1723 the Supreme Court decided that the phrase, as used in the Constitution, applied only to penal and criminal statutes. But although it is inapplicable to retroactive legislation of any other kind,1724 the constitutional prohibition may[p.351]not be evaded by giving a civil form to a measure that is essentially criminal.1725 Every law, which makes criminal an act that was innocent when done, or which inflicts a greater punishment than the law annexed to the crime when committed, is an ex post facto law within the prohibition of the Constitution.1726 A prosecution under a temporary statute, which was extended before the date originally set for its expiration, does not offend this provision even though it is instituted subsequent to the extension of the statute's duration for a violation committed prior thereto.1727 Since this provision has no application to crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of the United States against the laws of a foreign country, it is immaterial in extradition proceedings whether the foreign law is ex post facto or not.1728

Author who 'might have gotten Steve Bannon fired' talks Trump and Breitbart future
On The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, Joshua Green, the author of Devil's Bargain, stopped by to talk about Steve Bannon's future and how his book might have affected the former White House chief strategist. Noah said, "Apparently, this book might have got Steve Bannon fired."
Green didn't speak on whether the book actually got Bannon fired, but he did say, "I was told by a White House official, 'You know, Trump's not going to read your book, but he's going to look at the cover and see Bannon's name actually comes before Trump's name on the book' — which it does. Trump doesn't like co-stars, and I think the fact Bannon got to be top billing on the book was problematic."
Green spoke with Bannon after he left the White House, and Bannon said that he wasn't fired, but that seems to be neither here nor there because Trump doesn't cut ties. Green said, "So he fired his first campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski — kept calling him. He fired a second campaign manager, Paul Manafort — kept calling him until his lawyers made him stop because of the Russia scandal. I suspect that, after firing or consciously uncoupling with Steve Bannon, that he's still going to have Bannon on speed dial."
Green also said that Bannon's "bargain" with Trump was helping him win him the presidency in exchange for putting into action things like anti-immigration measures, building a border wall, and a less interventionist foreign policy. But for Bannon, the arrangement hasn't worked out.
Green said, "The Trump administration has gone completely off the rails. What he means by 'war' is he's going to fight for the same ideas on the outside — not necessarily by taking on Trump directly, but by using what he called the 'killing weapon' of Breitbart News to go after Trump's enemies on Capitol Hill and, I think, in the administration."

12:30 pm
The Chicago-based financial tech startup AvantCredit announced the closing of a $75 million round of Series C financing led by Tiger Global Management. In addition, the company has announced a $200 million credit facility led by Victory Park Capital.
AvantCredit has grown rapidly since its launch at the end of 2012. The startup has revolutionized the online lending industry, creating an entirely new experience for the personal loan process, as well as being able to offer rates lower than traditional banking institutions. Blending together advanced algorithms, machine-learning capabilities, analytics, and customer service, AvantCredit provides between $1,000 and $20,000 to qualified borrowers in 46 states (and the UK).
"AvantCredit's tremendous growth in just under two years is a reflection of consumer demand for a better, faster, more convenient borrowing experience," said AvantCredit CEO Al Goldstein. "This additional infusion of capital validates the success of our business model and will enable us to continue to innovate and enhance our technology – and attract the best and brightest data engineers in tech today."
The company has lent to more than 60,000 consumers borrowing more than $250 million total. Since its Series B round in August of last year, AvantCredit has increased its quarterly loan volume by 500 percent, which has enabled it to grow from 70 to more than 300 employees. This recent round of financing, along with the company's credit facility, will enable AvantCredit to support the expansion of its loan portfolio, support its technology and data capabilities, and continue attaining and developing talent.
With this most recent financing, AvantCredit has raised more than $100 million in total equity investment and $200 million in debt.

Dr. Cancedda focuses on the creation of high-quality and sustainable post-graduate training programs for health care providers in developing countries through the establishment of replicable partnership models between local and foreign academic institutions. He has been involved in the development of several post-graduate nursing training programs in Rwanda and on launching a Family and Community Medicine residency program for Rwandan medical graduates.
Working under the leadership of the Ministry of Health and in partnership with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Dr. Cancedda contributed to the conceptualization, development, launch, and implementation of the Rwanda Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program. Led by the MOH and supported by the United States Government, this ambitious initiative seeks to build the country's health education infrastructure through the contributions of top North American universities and academic medical centers (AMCs) within a timeframe spanning from 2012 to 2018. These institutions will supply full-time specialist faculty and collaborate with each other and their Rwandan counterparts on all aspects of health professional education. Dr. Cancedda is the principal investigator for the contribution of Harvard Medical School and Harvard-affiliated hospitals to the Rwanda HRH Program. Dr. Cancedda's interest lies in the establishment of mutually beneficial academic partnerships between universities and AMCs from the resource-rich world and from developing countries as a mean to address shared global health challenges and promote global health equity.
Corrado Cancedda was trained in internal medicine and infectious disease. He is an associate physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in the Division of Global Health Equity and a practicing clinician within the Department of Medicine, and he is an instructor and teacher of global health delivery within the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Cancedda has extensive expertise in curriculum development, global medical education, and academic partnerships. He worked four years in Rwanda as chief of medical education and director of the Department of Medical Education and Training for Partners In Health. During his tenure, Dr. Cancedda successfully led the development and implementation of educational and in-service training programs aimed at Rwandan health professionals and leveraged the educational resources available at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital to improve the quality and increase the scope and diversity of such trainings. Dr. Cancedda graduated with honors in medicine in 1996 from the University of Genoa, his hometown in Italy. From 1997 to 2001 he worked as a post-doctoral fellow in the Division of Immunogenetics at Columbia University in New York City. The results of Dr. Cancedda's research on allograft rejection earned him a PhD in clinical immunology from the University of Genoa. From 2002 to 2005, Dr. Cancedda completed a residency in internal medicine at Jacobi Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine. In 2007, he completed the infectious diseases fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis.

"What are the differences between trusts and foundations?"
"Which is better between a foundation and trust?"
The answer depends on a variety of factors which must be considered for each client. There are many similarities with trusts and foundations. For the purpose of this comparison we will narrow the focus to "private" foundations and trusts. The following is a comparison (if grossly oversimplified) between trusts and foundations covering the similarities as well as the key differences, advantages and disadvantages of each.
Offshore Trusts
The classic definition of a trust is (from Underhill & Hayton, Law of Trusts and Trustees):
"A trust is an equitable obligation, binding a person (called a trustee) to deal with property owned by him (called Trust property, being distinguished from his private property) for the benefit of persons (called Beneficiaries or, in old cases, cestuis que trust), of whom he may himself be one, and any one of whom may enforce the obligation."
A further definition of trusts, which is more in the form of a description, is that in the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Trusts and on their Recognition:
"For the purposes of this Convention, the term "trust" refers to the legal relationships created 'inter vivos' or on death by a person, the settlor, when assets have been placed under the control of a trustee for the benefit of a beneficiary or for a specified purpose."
At the very basic level, the concept of the trust is relatively easy: a person (settlor) places assets in the legal custody of another (trustee) held for the benefit of some third party (beneficiary). The trust is not a separate legal entity, but more of a legal "obligation" agreed between two parties: the settlor and the trustee.
There are three minimum certainties for a trust to be valid:
- "Certainty of Intention": the settlor must have clearly intended to settle the trust and confer legal control of assets.
- "Certainty of Subject Matter": the assets that are to form the trust must be clearly stated.
- "Certainty of Objects": it must be clear for whom the trust was created and subsequent assets transferred to the trust are being held.
These are only the bare minimums for the trust to be valid and court cases throughout the world have provided for many variations and interpretations of these matters. A fair percentage of offshore trusts likely fail at lewhen the settlor is sued by a creditor, family member, someone who slipped and fell on their property, etc.ast one of these critical criteria. This could lead to a great deal of money spent on legal fees trying to defend the validity of the trust at some later date
Two common issues which lead to challenges of validity of a trust are as follows:
- the settlor wants to maintain full control of the trust assets and trust decisions;
- legal title of assets intended to be part of the trust property is never conferred to the trustee;
If either of these issues is present it can lead to a host of issues later. A court could determine that the trust is a "Sham Trust" and order any assets transferred (assuming they ever really were) to be repatriated as part of a settlement. To battle this, many offshore jurisdictions (international financial centres) have enacted specific trust laws which make it difficult to declare a trust "invalid".
Probably the biggest advantage of a trust lies in the fact that it can be used for business purposes whereas most foundation jurisdictions limit the use of a foundation to non-commercial uses. Trusts may be used to purchase property, accrue capital in mutual funds, sign international contracts in order to facilitate exchanges and avoid taxes. In this regard, unit trusts are particularly popular in the real estate and financial fields whereby investors purchase "units" in real estate investment trusts "REITS" and mutual funds or hedge funds.
Private Foundations
Perhaps it is best to first start by defining the private foundation. One of the most comprehensive definitions of a private foundation comes from John Goldsworth, founding editor of "Trusts and Trustees" and a renowned expert on trusts and private foundations:
"A private foundation" is an independent self-governing legal entity, set up and registered or recorded by an official body within the jurisdiction of where it is set up, in order to hold an endowment provided by the founder and/or others for a particular purpose for the benefit of beneficiaries and which usually excludes the ability to engage directly in commercial operations, and which exists without shares or other participation."
Just from this definition, even the casual observer should begin to see some differences between foundations and trusts. Looking at this carefully:
1st phrase: "A private foundation is an independent self-governing legal entity"
We can see that, unlike the trust, a private foundation is a separate, self-governing legal entity. It is not an "obligation" as with a trust, but a completely separate legal entity.
2nd phrase: "set up and registered or recorded by an official body within the jurisdiction of where it is set up"
Here we see that a private foundation is registered or recorded (usually publicly) which is not usually the case with a trust.
3rd phrase: "in order to hold an endowment provided by the founder and/or others"
Assets placed into a foundation may come from the founder and/or any other third parties depending on the purpose of the foundation. This is different from a trust whereby the settlor alone typically settles the trust assets where legal title of the assets are transferred to a trustee when establishing the trust.
4th phrase: "for a particular purpose for the benefit of beneficiaries"
Trusts and foundations are similar in this regard.
5th phrase: "and which usually excludes the ability to engage directly in commercial operations"
Trusts may be used for certain commercial purposes where private foundations may not typically carry out commercial activities.
6th phrase: "and which exists without shares or other participation"
Both trusts and foundations have beneficiaries rather than shareholders.
So it is established that trusts are susceptible to validity issues and can lead to legal issues and adverse consequences in situations whereby the trust is labeled a "sham trust". Unlike a trust, a foundation cannot be deemed a "sham foundation". The main reason is relatively simple: unlike a trust, is a private foundation is are separate legal entity incorporated like a company and thus has separate legal personality. Thus by the very fact that it is incorporated, which is confirmation that the foundation meets the legal requirements of the law that governs foundations, it exists as a separate legal "person" and therefore cannot be set aside as a "sham" by a court of law.
How can a foundation be used when the objects include commercial activities? This is a common question and one that is easily accommodated by inserting one or more underlying offshore companies (such as an international business company) with the shares 100% owned by the foundation. This offers all of the protection and advantages of the foundation while allowing for a wide range of business uses to be carried out through the underlying offshore companies.
This is by no means a thorough comparison of the two structures; however it is a good start and should help clarify some of the major points. A further analysis of the specific trust and/or foundation laws in each jurisdiction would be necessary to make any further distinctions.
