<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>In a recent study, Saint Louis University researchers found that salt pill consumption neither hurt nor helped performance for endurance athletes. Edward Weiss, Ph.D., assistant professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University, cast doubts on the popular idea that salt consumption can help endurance athletes during competition in the the <i>Journal of Sports Science and Medicine</i>paper.</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Conscious of recommendations to replace sodium losses due to sweat during exercise, some endurance athletes have taken that idea a step further. Athletes sometimes consume large quantities of salt or other electrolyte supplements containing sodium during training and competition under the theory that it could help improve performance. The sodium found in many sports beverages and foods is generally not of concern. However, the use of salt and electrolyte pills or powdered additives for drinks can result in excessive sodium intakes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Some have hypothesized that the added salt would lead to more sweat, which in turn would offer benefits to performance. This idea is based on the principle of thermoregulation, the body’s processes that help to maintain its core temperature. Efficient thermoregulation is linked to better athletic performance. Sweat is one mechanism that the body uses to cool off when its core temperature becomes too high.</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_4859" style="background: rgb(242, 242, 242); box-sizing: border-box; clear: left; float: right; margin: 10px 0px 15px 26px; max-width: 100%; padding: 5px; text-align: center; width: 110px;">

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
To determine the effects of high-dose sodium supplementation on thermoregulation and related measures, 11 endurance athletes participated in a double-blind study in which they underwent two hours of endurance exercise at 60 percent heart rate reserve (the difference between maximum heart rate and resting heart rate) followed by an exercise performance test. The exercise resulted in more than two liters of water loss in the form of sweat. During one session, the athletes received 1800 mg of sodium supplementation and during the other, they received a placebo.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
Weiss and fellow researchers found that sodium supplementation did not appear to impact thermoregulation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
The investigators calculated sweat rate, perceived exertion, heat stress, cardiovascular drift (increased heart rate after a period of exercise even when exertion remains constant), skin temperature and dehydration. None of the measures showed significant statistical difference between trials.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
When these findings are considered together with the known health concerns associated with too much salt consumption, Weiss urges a conservative interpretation of guidelines calling for sodium replenishment for athletes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
“While moderate sodium consumption is perfectly reasonable and should be encouraged, high sodium intake is associated with health concerns, like hypertension,” Weiss said. “Many Americans already consume too much salt on a daily basis.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
“I recommend that athletes use caution with sodium supplementation, especially when daily intakes already exceeds the upper safe limit of 2300 mg/day for most Americans.”</div>

Source: The 7R Future Leadership Institute (www.fli.institute)<br /><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br />On 2 January 1897, the will of Alfred Nobel, the deceased Swedish dynamite millionaire was widely published. The bulk of his great fortune was left to form a fund, from the annual income of which five prizes were to be distributed to those who, “during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit upon mankind.” In equal amounts prize winners in physics. chemistry, medicine, literature and peace were to be named — “whether Scandinavian or not.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
No man of great wealth had done anything like this before, and the news came as a great surprise to the public, and no less to the disappointed Nobel family. To Nobel’s young assistant, <strong>Ragnar Sohlman</strong>, the will brought shock. Only after Nobel’s death did he and the Swedish engineer <strong>Rudolf Lilljequist</strong> learn that they were to be the executors.</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_1721" style="background: rgb(242, 242, 242); box-sizing: border-box; clear: right; color: #666666; float: left; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin: 10px 26px 15px 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 5px; text-align: center; width: 193px;">

Ragnar Sohlman, Nobel’s young assistant, executor of Alfred Nobel’s testament.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Sohlman, a chemical engineer, who was then only twenty-seven years old, had worked in the United States at the Du Pont dynamite factory and was on the staff of the Swedish pavilion at the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 when a telegram arrived from Alfred Nobel, whom he had never met, offering him the position as his personal assistant. In the next three years he more than lived up to his high recommendations, not only serving as Nobel’s valued assistant and coworker, but becoming a close friend, a relationship unusual for Nobel. Lillequist, busy with his own affairs, left most of the executor work to Sohlman, and no-one could have been better qualified.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The task proved to be Herculean. In the first place, the passage in the will about the prizes was legally defective. Nobel’s purpose was clear enough, and he had identified the awarding bodies: in Sweden two academies and the Karolinska medical institute and in Norway, then part of a monarchic union with Sweden, a committee to be elected by the parliament.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
But the will named no legatee. There was no stipulation as to who or what was to manage the money. Nobel had had such unfortunate experiences with lawyers in defending his dynamite patents that rather than consulting one of these “niggling parasites,” as he called them, he drew up his will himself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Moreover, Nobel had never asked any of the institutions named to administer the prizes if they were willing. Had only one refused, the will would have been invalid, which is what members of the Swedish branch of the family maintained.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Sohlman and Lilljequist themselves had no hesitation in hiring a lawyer to deal with all these complications. Fortunately, they picked <strong>Carl Lindhagen</strong>, a young jurist who was to have a distinguished career as lord mayor of Stockholm. With Lindhagen’s assistance, Sohlman now took major responsibility in the long struggle to see the will through the courts and to negotiate with the relatives and the prize-awarding bodies.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The first question was where the will was to be probated? Where was Nobel’s domicile? Victor Hugo had called him “Europe’s richest vagabond.” Born in Sweden, Nobel had spent most of his life abroad, longest in Paris, then moving to San Remo on the Italian Riviera, where he died on 10 December 1896. Since rigorous French judges would almost certainly throw such a will out of court, Lindhagen made the case for a Swedish domicile. Nobel was a Swedish citizen and had begun to spend more time there after purchasing the Bofors factory and nearby residence in 1894. He had written the will in Swedish, had it signed in the Swedish Club in Paris by two Swedish witnesses, and four of his prizes were to be administered by Swedish institutions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
But what to do with Nobel’s funds and securities, most of which were held in Paris banks and would be subject to excessive taxes even if the will was not probated there? Sohlman could not simply instruct the banks to make the transfer to Sweden, for such a major move would surely come to the notice of the French authorities. Moreover, the Nobel relatives in Sweden naturally wanted domicile approved for Paris and could get Nobel’s properties in France sequestered while the wrangling was continuing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Hearing that two of them are coming to Paris to look into the matter, Sohlman goes into action. As executor he quietly withdraws the assets from the banks and takes them to the office of the Swedish consul general, who has agreed to help. Behind locked doors, unbeknownst to the Nobel relatives who are actually there in another room, Sohlman and an assistant package the securities in the many parcels necessitated by the insurer’s stipulation that the highest value for any one parcel cannot exceed a certain value.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Now they are ready to be taken to the finance office at the Gare de Nord to be sent abroad. In transporting such precious cargo, Sohlman takes no chances. Thieves may make a direct attack or arrange a collision with another vehicle. So in his horse drawn cab, both on the way from the bank to the consulate and from there to the Gare de Nord, Sohlman sits with Nobel’s millions, his revolver at the ready.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
At the Gare de Nord he dispatches some of the securities to London to be sold, others directly to Stockholm. The total net worth of the estate is more than 31 million Swedish crowns, almost nine million dollars at the time. After everything arrives safely in Sweden. Lindhagen manages to have jurisdiction established in the Bofors district court.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
A pressing problem is to get the award-granting institutions on board. The Norwegian parliament, regarding the responsibility as an honor, accepts with alacrity. But the Swedish bodies have reservations. Some members of the Swedish Academy think that reading books in foreign languages is none of their business, while in the Academy of Science there is sentiment that Nobel’s money should go for research in Swedish laboratories, not to foreign scientists. Acceptance of Nobel’s charge is finally made contingent upon approval of the will by all the relatives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Fortunately for the executors, the Nobel family is divided. While the Swedish branch are disposed to contest the will, those living in Russia, headed by Nobel’s favorite nephew, <strong>Emanuel</strong>, want Alfred Nobel’s wishes to be respected. Emanuel tells Sohlman about the Russian concept that the executor is “the spokesman of the soul” of the testator.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The Swedish branch is supported by many conservative fellow countrymen, who call the will “unpatriotic” because the prizes were not reserved for Swedes and who fear that the Norwegians will use the peace prize to gain friends for their efforts toward independence.</div>

Bertha von Suttner (born Kinsky) answers a want-ad in the Viennese newspaper Die Presse from Alfred Nobel [1833-1896] in 1876 to become secretary-housekeeper at his Paris residence. She remains in Paris less than two weeks before returning to Vienna and secretly marrying Arthur von Suttner. Though her personal contact with Alfred Nobel had been brief, she corresponded with him until his death in 1896, and it is believed that she was a major influence in his decision to include a peace prize among those prizes provided in his will. December 10, 1905 von Suttner is named to receive the fifth Nobel Peace Prize (thus becoming the first woman peace laureate).</div>

Although mainly concerned about the Norwegians, he tries to persuade Emanuel to get the terms of the will changed, arguing that Emanuel should not neglect his duty to the family “in favor of the nonsensical ideas of your uncle,” influenced by “peace fanatics and particularly by women.” The king is obviously thinking of the Austrian peace leader </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Baroness Bertha von Suttner</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">, who helped Nobel decide to include peace among his prizes.</span><br />

Emanuel stands his ground, replying that he would not expose his family to future reproaches “for having appropriated funds which rightfully belonged to deserving scientists.”</div>

Sohlman not only has to deal with the relatives and the Swedish institutions, but also with Nobel’s complicated finances and international business affairs. In the midst of all this, he is suddenly called up to do his military service. Since estate matters cannot be postponed, Sohlman is permitted to install himself and his accountant in a private building inside the army camp, where they attend to correspondence in the evening after the day’s drilling is done. A corporal bicycles every day with their letters to the nearest post office. Since telephones are few and far between, Sohlman pays to have one set up in his own quarters, which he keeps busy. When Recruit Sohlman finishes his service and departs, the army probably sighs with relief.</div>

In the probate court attorney Lindhagen answers claims that the will is unfair to the relatives by producing evidence that Nobel believed large inheritances removed heirs from the incentive to work and that in his final will he reduced bequests to his relatives because they were prospering.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
What about the fact that the will lacks specifications for implementation? Here Lindhagen shows conclusively that this was always the way Nobel worked, delegating full responsibility to those in whom he had confidence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
It is fortunate that Nobel was not too explicit. The two witnesses to the will testify that his intention was not to reward achievement, but to give recipients fuller opportunities for fruitful development. They report Nobel’s remarks that a prize should not be given to “a man of action, as he would be tempted to give up work. On the other hand, I would like to help dreamers, as they find it difficult to get on in life.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Had Nobel written dreamers into the will, the institutions chosen to make the awards would surely have rejected the assignment altogether. Now they are free to formulate their own policies and methods of selection, and many of their awards will go to seniors for past achievements.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The very fact that Nobel’s testament is so loosely drawn makes it possible for Sohlman and Lindhagen to arrive at a final settlement with all the parties. On 29 June 1900, King Oscar himself approves the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, created to provide the missing legatee and to receive the designated assets from the executors. Now proud of Nobel’s prizes, at the first award ceremony in 1901 the king begins the tradition of handing out the prizes which has been continued by his royal successors. Sohlman, looking back after a half century in which he himself had a distinguished career, including ten years serving as managing director of the Nobel Foundation, concluded his story of the long struggle over the will with an understatement, “In the light of later experience, the final outcome must be deemed satisfactory.” Without the skill and dedication of the personal assistant Nobel hired unseen from across the Atlantic, there would have been no such happy ending. Where there was a will, legally defective as it was and “nonsensical” as it might have seemed, Ragnar Sohlman found the way.</div>

How 3 Orlov trotter stallions decided the faith of the Nobel Prizes</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
Most of the assets proved to be linked to Nobel’s holdings in the Russian oil company Baku Petroleum and a hundred or so ammunition and dynamite factories in Europe, North and South America, Australia and South Africa. Nobel also had substantial shareholdings in various mining companies, including gold mines, as well as revenues from his 355 international patents. In addition he owned a yacht – the first in the world with an aluminium keel – a stud farm for riding horses, and three valuable properties: the villa Mio Nido in San Remo, an apartment in Paris, and the villa Björkborn in Karlskoga (where he never took up residence).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
A particular problem was that the bulk of Nobel’s securities and cash reserves were deposited in French banks in Paris, which might make it difficult for the estate to gain control of the assets without becoming subject to French inheritance tax.</div>

Villa Björkborn in Karlskoga, Sweden, part of Nobel’s inheritance.</div>

To counter the Paris court’s finding of domicile, the executors – once all the securities and documents had arrived in Sweden – got the Karlskoga District Court to declare Björkborn to have been Nobel’s domicile. But this was just a stalemate for the time being with two courts each claiming the right to probate the will. But a stalemate was not enough. They needed Paris to give up its claim to having any jurisdiction over the probate.</div>

The French authorities attempted at a certain point to get the money back since they considered Alfred’s home to be in Paris. A French lawyer, working for Sohlman, solved this problem: He found a paragraph in the French law that stated ‘’a man’s home is where he has his horses’’…</div>

Nobel had 3 Orlov trotter stallions living in his villa Björkborn in Karlskoga. Reason for the French government to accept his domicile was not in France but in Sweden.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Neuton, 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The critical victory came when Paris courts actually accepted that Alfred Nobel lived where his horses did – even though he did not- as Nobel kept 3 Orlov trotter stallions at his villa Björkborn in Karlskoga, Sweden.<br />It was now that Karlskoga and Björkborn Manor were to play an important role in Nobel’s Will. Much importance was placed upon the question of where Alfred Nobel had legally had his home. At the time of his death, he still owned his grand apartment in Paris plus a huge house in San Remo, Italy. Which property could actually be called his home? In the end, the courts decided that his legal home was in Karlskoga. Traditionally, it is said that this ruling was based upon the fact that Alfred’s three much-loved Russian Orlov horses were stabled in Karlskoga. In French law, a person’s home was where his or her horses were stabled. As a direct result of this ruling in the French courts, the execution of Alfred’s Will became subject to Swedish law. Had Alfred’s Will been subject to French law it is doubtful it would have met the strict, formal requirements necessary for it to be executed under France’s legal system.</div>

Whether Sohlman’s moving of the securities to Sweden was tax evasion was probably moot once the French courts dropped their claim that Nobel was domiciled in Paris. But if the Russian horses had not come to Björkborn there would probably be no Nobel prizes today.</div>

</h2>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Mama, gaat die meneer dan naar onze televisie kijken?”, vragen mijn kinderen bedroefd nadat de deurwaarder onze beeldbuis op de inbeslagnamelijst zette. Een faillissement kom je te boven, maar een gebroken moederhart heelt verschrikkelijk moeilijk.</em></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Het raakt me telkens opnieuw. Ondernemers die me hun verhaal delen. Zoals deze moeder die met haar man jaren geleden de stap durfde wagen naar een eigen zaak. Ze stoppen hun eigen centen en vooral ook hun hart en ziel in het project waarin ze geloven. Het gaat een tijdje goed, maar als bedrijf waar alles draait om persoonlijke contacten, feilloze service en maatwerk is het moeilijk opboksen tegen de onpersoonlijke, prijsdrukkers of alternatieven op het internet.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Tot op een dag dan het onvermijdelijke volgt. Het koppel beslist om de boeken neer te leggen. Een zwarte dag, een droom die aan diggelen valt. Na de emotionele klop, volgt de financiële. Tegemoet komen aan de schuldeisers. Toestellen, materiaal, producten, alles wat met het bedrijf te maken heeft stuk voor stuk verkopen. Maar het ergste moest nog komen. Plots bleken ook de koelkast, wasmachine en televisie volgens de beslagrechter tot het bedrijf te behoren. Als het op belastingen of regeltjes aankomt, dan maakt de wetgever met plezier een onderscheid tussen de persoon en de onderneming. Twee keer langs de kassa passeren, is meer rendabel, weet u. Maar bij een faillissement valt dat onderscheid blijkbaar volledig weg. Alles deed het koppel om hun privé-eigendommen te vrijwaren van inbeslagname. Tevergeefs.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Het koppel leerde een harde les voor zichzelf en voor alle andere ondernemers. Aan, boven of onder je zaak wonen, is een risico. Privébordjes of niet aan de deuren, de deuren gaan open. Wat er te zien is, maakt deel uit van de onderneming. Als ondernemer zet je de maatschappelijke zetel dus maar beter niet op je thuisadres. Hou ook alle facturen nauwgezet bij. Een Visa-uittreksel vermeldt het bedrag van de aankoop, maar niet wat je hebt gekocht. Vraag dus maar bij elke aankoop een bewijs van wat je hebt gekocht. Betaal je een kinderzeteltje met cash, vraag dan een getailleerd betalingsbewijs. Leen je meubels van je ouders, dan leg je dit maar beter vast in een officieel contract. Alle privébezittingen moet je kunnen bewijzen. Alsof je de wasmachine voor professionele doeleinden gebruikt. Waar zijn we mee bezig?</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Weet u trouwens wat het grappige is aan dit verhaal, zij het dan zeer cynisch? Het koppel heeft de curator nu een voorstel gedaan om al hun privéspullen – die ze dus al eens betaald hadden – terug te kopen. Ze leven op dit moment op hoop dat de curator met hun voorstel akkoord gaat. Zodat ze opnieuw hun was kunnen doen, kunnen zitten in hun eigen zetel, hun kinderen net als hun vriendjes naar televisie kunnen kijken…</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
De verhalen raken me niet alleen, ik word er echt kwaad over. Kwaad omdat zoiets mogelijk is. Omdat mensen die al hun spaarcenten in een bedrijf stopten en bovendien jarenlang mensen een job gaven niet alleen alles kwijt zijn, maar zich ook nog eens over zulke zaken moeten bekommeren. Omdat politici en de maatschappij nog altijd te weinig respect tonen voor wie onderneemt. Omdat gefailleerden in ons land nog te veel beschouwd worden als mislukkelingen en ze quasi in alles ontmoedigd of belemmerd worden om opnieuw te beginnen. Ik word er kwaad over, maar de verhalen motiveren me alleen nog maar meer om te blijven ijveren voor een beter ondernemersklimaat, voor meer respect.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Gert Van Mol, een van de oprichters van MC-Livebox:
“MC-Livebox richt zich tot de 12 tem 16 jarigen, een uitzonderlijk moeilijk te
bereiken doelgroep. Het is de leeftijdscategorie bij uitstek waarin de jongeren
zichzelf en de wereld ontdekken. Rolmodellen zijn dan ook erg belangrijk. Het
is vrij uitzonderlijk om als fuif organisatie een sportman te sponsoren, maar
de combinatie van technologie, ontdekkingsdrift, natuur, uithouding, training,
overwinning en overlevingsinstinct geeft een uniek waardenpatroon waarmee we
naar de jongeren willen toe stappen.”</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Op zondag 22 december werden 9 motoren die gaan deelnemen
aan de Africa Eco Race, editie 2014, geladen in verschillende gespecialiseerde
woestijn trucks van de firma EAO, op de terreinen van Desert Fox Racing in
Deurne. De organiserende jongeren van MC-Livebox kwamen kijken hoe hun MC-Livebox
logo op de motor en helm van Martin Fontyn was bevestigd.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Martin Fontyn vertrekt op 29 december 2014 als favoriet bij
de motoren in de Africa Eco Race.</span><br />

We stemmen dan -meestal met een vragende blik naar elkaar of soms met een bang hart- zo nu en dan toe. Om dan achteraf te constateren dat onze dertienjarige zijn eerste halve pint heeft gedronken. Of dat onze 12 jarige alleen stiekem een colaatje buiten de zaal is gaan drinken omdat cola drinken op een fuif niet cool is. Of dat er heel wat rolmodellen jonger dan 16 rondlopen met een stoere sigaret in de hand.<br />
<br />
Niet dat we daar moraalridder over willen gaan spelen, niet dat dat allemaal per se slecht is, maar die jongens en meisjes tussen 12 en 16 moeten in hun hoofd zo geweldig bezig zijn met allerlei invloeden en prikkels dat ze soms niet aan dansen toekomen !<br />
<br />
Daarom hebben we het plan opgevat om met al onze jongens (2 tieners en 2 net-niet tieners) een soort van Veilig Fuiven Concept op te zetten waar uiteindelijk vooral ouders met een gerust(er) hart hun jongens en meisjes naar toe kunnen sturen op een vrijdag- of zaterdagavond.<br />
<br />
De naam van het concept is <b>MC-Livebox</b> (uitleg hieromtrent later). De organisatie werd ondergebracht in een vzw. Ouders, maar vooral jongens en meisjes die ge<span style="color: #010101; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; text-indent: 0mm;">ï</span>nteresseerd zijn om mee te werken, en vooral om ook iets bij te leren, want samen een fuif organiseren is ook samen mini-ondernemen, zijn welkom om contact met ons op te nemen.<br />
<br />
<b>MC-Livebox</b><br />
Het 'Veilige Fuiven Concept'<br />
<br />
Fuif voor meisjes en jongens van 12 tot en met 16 jaar.<br />
Elke fuif start om 20 uur en eindigt om 23.59 uur.<br />
Geen alcohol.<br />
Geen sigaretten.<br />
Geen drugs.<br />
Organisatie in handen van de jeugd.<br />
(Onzichtbare) ouderlijke hulp en controle.<br />
<br />
<u>Uniek dubbelconcept:</u><br />
1. Fuiven in de grote zaal.<br />
2. Standjes van ondernemende jongens en meisjes in de inkom, met eigen gemaakte drank, hapjes, geschenken, allerhande (om mini-ondernemerschap te stimuleren en om een zakcentje bij te verdienen)<br />
<br />
Een MC-Livebox fuif brengt muzikale live acts gevolgd door spectaculaire DJ's.<br />
Eerste MC-Livebox fuiven:<br />
zaterdag 21 december 2013, Dienstencentrum Schilde<br />
vrijdag 14 februari 2014, Dienstencentrum Schilde<br />
vrijdag 4 april 2014, Dienstencentrum Schilde<br />
