How Do I Incorporate a Company in Australia?

Home » Legal Resources » Articles » Business Structuring Articles » How Do I Incorporate a Company in Australia?
A company structure is one of the most popular business structures in Australia. The fact that a company is a separate legal entity and has limited liability makes it an attractive option for business owners looking to grow their operations. However, company incorporation is relatively more complex than some other business structures (compared to sole traders and partnerships) and often requires more to comply with its legal obligations. This article details the process of how to incorporate a company.
Registration of a Company
Setting up a company is a complex process. The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) oversees and regulates the company incorporation process. To set up a company, you must:
determine the type of company you wish to incorporate;
decide on an appropriate structure for internal governance;
obtain the consent of each proposed director and a secretary;
choose and reserve a name for the new company;
locate an address for the company's registered office;
locate a principal place of business;
settle on a share structure and members;
make an application to ASIC and pay a registration fee; and
receive a certificate of registration.
The kind of company that you wish to incorporate affects the documents you need to include in your application for registration. If you wish to set up a company limited by shares or an unlimited company, you will need to include information about:
what class of shares each member has agreed to take up;
the amount they will pay;
whether they will pay fully upon registration; and
if they will beneficially own the shares.
Similarly, a company limited by guarantee must include details in their application of the proposed amount of the guarantee that each member has agreed to.
Most companies require an internal governance structure for company incorporation. The exception is a proprietary (private) company with a single shareholder and director. For these companies, the Corporations Act (the Act) prescribes rules which are non-negotiable.
The matters included under the internal governance include issues such as:
procedures for meetings of directors and members;
share transfers; and
the appointment and removal of directors.
A company can either draft a constitution or use the Replaceable Rules in the Act. Replaceable Rules apply where a constitution has not been drafted for the company. Alternatively, it can do both. However, if a company relies on the Act, their internal governance systems are automatically current and up to date.
Directors and Secretary
Every person who applies to register a company must have the written consent of all proposed directors to act in that role and, if necessary, that of a company secretary. An individual does not need to give these to ASIC when they register their company. However, they should keep them with their other records after company incorporation.
An individual can choose a name for their corporation. If they do, they need to reserve the name and then register it. ASIC manages both processes. Alternatively, a company can use the Australian Company Number issued to it by ASIC.
All companies with more than one shareholder need a shareholders agreement. This is an agreement between two or more shareholders on their roles and responsibilities.
To complete company incorporation, an individual needs to complete Form 201 and pay the prescribed fee. The form is available online. Once ASIC has registered a company, they send a Certificate of Registration to the company's registered office. The Certificate must be visible in the company's principal place of business.
Minute Book
A company's minute book records proceedings of meetings of directors and members. It also records any resolutions made during such meetings.
For example, a signed minute legally verifies a particular resolution or proceeding. A company must have a regularly updated minute book.
Appointment of Auditor and Public Officer
If a company is a public company, it must appoint an auditor within one month of incorporation. It must also formally record the appointment. Similarly, every company needs a public officer to comply with its tax obligations. The company needs to appoint a public officer within three months of incorporation and formally record the appointment.
The Act requires a company to keep and maintain up to date registers of:
members;
option holders; and
debenture holders (if relevant).
These registers can be electronic or in a book. If they are electronic, they must be capable of conversion to hard copy.
A company will also need all appropriate tax registrations. It will need an Australian Business Number and a Tax File Number. Depending on the kind of business, it may need to register for Goods and Services Tax as well as Pay As You Go Withholding. It will also need a bank account in the name of the company.
All companies have ongoing compliance and reporting requirements. These vary according to the type of company. For example, public companies have greater responsibilities in this regard than small proprietary ones. The onus is on the company to know and meet all their obligations under the Act.
If you are considering starting a company, there are a number of different steps that you must take. You should:
decide on the type of company;
enact a governance structure;
appoint appropriate staff;
complete the relevant registration forms; and
comply with your legal requirements.

What Is a Company?
A company structure is one of the most popular ways to run a business in Australia. A company is a separate legal entity and has limited liability.
What Is a Shareholders Agreement?
If you have more than one shareholder, you will need a shareholders agreement. This is an agreement between two or more shareholders on their roles and responsibilities.

Future battery cost: Crucial for the success of the mobility and energy transition
by University of Münster
Credit: Unsplash / Michael Marais
For years, there has been a clear downward trend in battery costs. This development is important since batteries, as key components of electric vehicles and stationary energy storage systems, account for the majority of their cost. Today, these products are not yet fully competitive and further battery cost reductions are needed to achieve an economically viable transition to a carbon neutral society. In order to set the right strategic course, accurate battery cost projections are necessary for policy makers and industry. Numerous cost projections for battery systems exist in the academic literature, ranging from below $100 to above $400 per kilowatt-hour for the year 2030. This uncertainty poses a major challenge for the development of efficient incentive schemes for electromobility and for the design of profitable future product portfolios of vehicle manufacturers.
A cross-institutional group of researchers at the University of Münster has now published a comparative study of battery cost predictions from the past decade in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. In the study, assumptions from more than 50 scientific publications that analyze the costs of lithium-ion, solid-state, lithium-sulfur and lithium-air batteries, resulting costs are compared and the academic opinion is consolidated into a cost trend.

Academia expects battery cost to continue to fall
The results show an overarching expectation of further declining battery costs, even under pessimistic raw material price scenarios, "Lithium-ion batteries have not yet reached their cost limit. The regression of system cost expectations shows a reduction to $70 per kilowatt-hour by 2050—about half of today's market prices," explains Lukas Mauler from the Institute of Business Administration at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy at Münster University and Porsche Consulting GmbH, and lead author of the published analysis. Scientists expect additional cost potentials compared to today, especially through advanced battery materials such as high-energy and high-voltage cathode materials. Further, the studies show that post-lithium-ion technologies, which are not yet commercialized today, have the potential to become economically competitive.
The forecasting of battery costs has many dimensions
Depending on the research question of the examined publications, different drivers of battery costs are included in the assessment. Prof. Dr. Jens Leker, Director of the Institute of Business Administration, explains, "In addition to battery technology, a large number of other criteria are reflected in the cost forecasts. These range from the battery production process, plant location and size, to raw material price scenarios. A significant portion of the forecast variance can be attributed to these assumptions." The present study would bring the required transparency to assess forecast results in a qualified manner. It also contains a navigator that allows researchers to quickly find suitable studies and better understand interdependencies.
The detailed results of the comparative study on battery cost forecasting by Lukas Mauler, Dr. Fabian Duffner, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang G. Zeier, Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, and Prof. Dr. Jens Leker, Institute of Business Administration at the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, have been published as a review article by the Royal Society of Chemistry in the journal Energy & Environmental Science.

Introduction: Little is known about the association between hypospadias and small fetuses, as well as the pathological implications of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Thus, we aimed to investigate the association between hypospadias and small fetuses using a database of fetal ultrasound and obstetric events. Methods: A cohort of male singleton infants delivered after 22 weeks of gestation at Keio University Hospital between 2013 and 2019 was retrospectively reviewed. FGR was defined according to the Delphi criteria. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the significant predictors of hypospadias. Placental pathology was reviewed in cases with hypospadias. Results: Of the 2,040 male infants included in the present study, 23 had hypospadias. The prevalences of a single umbilical artery (SUA), small for gestational age, maternal hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and a small placenta, were significantly higher in infants with hypospadias. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that FGR (odds ratio [OR] = 9.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.50–35.3) and the presence of a SUA (OR = 33.4; 95% CI, 8.00–139.5) were independently and significantly associated with hypospadias. When FGR was stratified by the time of onset, its association with hypospadias was significant regardless of the time of onset. Moreover, placental histological findings suggested that fetal vascular malperfusion might play a role in hypospadias. Discussion: FGR and SUAs are independent prenatal predictors of the development of hypospadias, and fetal vascular malperfusion of the placenta may be involved in the etiology of hypospadias.

Russell L Garrison Injured
Russell L Garrison of Success, Missouri was injured on Monday, November 14, 2022 at 5:45 PM in Texas County, Missouri.
Garrison is a 71-year-old man.
The crash happened here: HWY 38 SEVEN MILES WEST OF HOUSTON
Garrison was a driver. The police described the crash like this:
CRASH OCCURRED AS VEHICLE ONE STRUCK A DEER IN THE ROADWAY
Garrison's injuries were moderate.
Garrison was taken by Texas County Amulance to Texas County Memorial Hospital.
Garrison was in vehicle #1, a 2007 Ford Sport Trac.
Garrison was a driver. The police said the damage to the 2007 Ford Sport Trac was moderate. Regarding removal of the vehicle, the police said: Towed By Jays Of Houston.
Msgt D B Pounds of the Missouri State Highway Patrol wrote up the report. The highway patrol assigned report number 220602011 to this crash. The highway patrol charges $6.90 for each certified report. Certification is required for court.
The highway patrol is currently backlogged and they state on their website that you will have to wait 10 days and may have to wait an "extended period of time" beyond that for the report. Further, unless you qualify under the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act, the report you get will have important and necessary information such as photographs, social security numbers, driver license numbers, names, addresses and telephone numbers redacted (blacked out). But you can call 877-925-1969 to request a free copy of the police report.
The information in this article came from the Missouri State Highway Patrol website.
Garrison may have an insurance claim. A lawyer will maximize the amount collected from the insurance company. In most cases, injured people can recover money for their medical bills, lost wages, and for their pain and suffering—even if a family member was driving. Getting a lawyer working on this case early will allow
Garrison to receive advice about preserving and gathering evidence and the value of the claim, which will help with the recovery. For more information watch

Texas Has Been Kind to Chesapeake Energy's Exploration Efforts
While Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy is retrenching slightly as it cuts rig counts from 18 to 14 for the remainder of the year, the company still has had success in its exploration in Texas.
The company reported spending $667 million on exploration in the second quarter of 2017, its principal debt balance was nearly $9.7 billion with $13 million cash on hand. That's a slight improvement from Dec. 31, 2016 when the debt was $10 billion with $882 million cash on hand.
But its wells have been big producers. Chesapeake hit its first upper Eagle ford Shale well. the Blakeway 3 D DIM 2H in June hit a peak of 1,759 boe a day. The company has plans to put up to 100 wells on production in South Texas in the second half of 2017 compared to 61 wells in the first half. It now has seven rigs working the eagle ford shale.
Chesapeake also brought in a gas well in Wyoming's Powder River Basin with a peak rate of production of 6,629 thousand cubic feet a day.
A well drilled in the Marcellus Shale hit peak production of 61,759 mcf a day after six days of production making it the highest-rate operated well in the Marcellus Shale in Chesapeake's history. The company stated it "expects to place on production up to 40 wells in the Marcellus Shale in the second half of 2017 compared to 11 wells in the first half of 2017."

According to EY's annual attractiveness survey 2020, the UK lost its position as Europe's most popular destination for foreign investment to France. Meanwhile the United States surpassed the European Union as the UK's biggest source of foreign investment for the first time in two decades. The Government has announced several measures intended to attract global talent and investment post-Brexit. In July 2020, the Prime Minister pledged to turn the UK into a world-leading 'science superpower' with a £300m research and development road map to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, and investment. The introduction of Freeports in the UK by the end of 2021 was also announced with the Freeports intended to become hubs for trade, innovation, and commerce. How can we ensure the UK remains competitive on the global stage and continues to attract investment?
Consider how the introduction of new policies, such as freeports, could attract new investment

Buster has been suffering for 5 days with no care!
The options presented to Rescue Dogs Rock yesterday were to euthanize Buster or to fight for his life. They chose to fight for him. He deserved that chance and we hope you agree. His wounds are not fresh and some parts are necrotic and infected. Despite how horrible he must feel, this sweet boy is kissing everyone in sight. We hope it is not too late.
His horribly injured and infected back leg was amputated. As it was a source of infection and causing sepsis, there was no time to wait. Because of free gas in his abdomen, they also had to do an exploratory surgery, but luckily nothing serious was found! Buster has had blood plasma transfusions. The wounds in the other photo on his underside are bite wounds and necrotic skin that had to be debrided and cleaned. The dead skin affects his private parts so he's on heavy antibiotics and pain meds and his medical team is watching closely.
He has 2 vacuum bandages on and his case is not unlike Phoebe's for those that followed her (dragged behind a car in SC and was found near death w very similar injuries). Buster's injuries are approx. 5 days old and we have no idea what happened to him. The shelter thought maybe hit by a car, but he has no broken bones and does have infected bite wounds so a car obviously didn't do that. The wound on his thigh was horrific and massive. We don't see how a car would have caused it with no broken bones. The bite marks on his underside and private parts tell a different story; we just don't know what. We do know that Buster suffered greatly. He suffered alone with no pain meds for days. How heartbreaking.
Timing is critical for Rescue Dogs Rock's surgeon to go in and remove the dead, necrotic tissue, amputate Buster's leg and hopefully there will be enough skin to close the gaping hole. There is no other option.
UPDATE 2-7-17: Our amazing Buster had ER surgery Friday night to amputate a horribly mangled and infected back leg. To treat and debride other injuries and infected bite wounds on his underside. This sweet boy had lived with horrific wounds and no medical care or pain meds for about 5 days!On Friday night, rescuer's options were to put him down or fight! Their choice is obvious. He was kissing everyone in sight and they could not quit on him. Yes it is very expensive, but how do you put a price on a life? It's not Buster's fault, why should he pay with his life, he's suffered enough and now lost a leg. He's got a long road back but will make it with your help!
We have created this page to help RDR raise the funds needed to save Buster's life. Please will you help us? With your help this innocent victim can survive! Get your Buster shirt, hoodie, tote bag or bracelet and give him the second chance at life he deserves! With your help I know we can save him.

Q: Why @media screen rules is overwritten by original css? I'm using @media screen to set specific rules for work on cases, (max-width 1024px). Theoretically these rules should override the CSS originals rules, but this does not occur, only happens if i put !important in each CSS rule that i want to work only for the specific @media screen.
My question is: I'm already using media screen to avoid having to do this. It is normal to have to put! Important in some rules, even using media screen?
There a example:

Why this happen? If I remove !important from @media screen rules, the @media screen rules doesn't work! This is normal or I'm doing something wrong?

A: the css selector in your @media clause is less specific than the non-media one. by making your media version more specific you can get it to correctly override the default styles. look into css specificity for more details, otherwise you will need to use the !important flag.

A: Don't add as much hierarchy to the non-@media query, and add more specificity to the query within the @media.  This will cause the one you want to run, without using !important.
What not to do:
body div {
    width: auto;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
    div {
        width: 100px;
    }
}

What to do:
div {
    width: auto;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
    body div {
        width: 100px;
    }
}

$1 Billion from World Bank to Protect India's Poorest from COVID-19
The Government of India and the World Bank signed a $750 million of $1 billion proposed for Accelerating India's COVID-19 Social Protection Response Programme to support India's efforts at providing social assistance to the poor and vulnerable households, severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This takes the total commitment from the Bank towards emergency COVID-19 response in India to $2 billion. A$1 billion support was announced last month towards immediate support to India's health sector.
This new support will be funded in two phases – an immediate allocation of $750 million for fiscal year 2020 and a $250 million second tranche that will be made available for fiscal year 2021.
The agreement was signed by Mr. Sameer Kumar Khare, Additional Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Government of India and Mr Junaid Ahmad, Country Director, India on behalf of the World Bank.
Mr. Khare said that a strong and portable social protection system is critical to carry vulnerable households through the current and future crises. This programme will expand the impact and coverage of India's social protection system by helping vulnerable groups access more social benefits directly and across the country.
The first phase of the operation will be implemented countrywide through the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY). It will immediatelyhelp scale-up cash transfers and food benefits, using a core set of pre-existing national platforms and programmes such as the Public Distribution System (PDS) and Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT); provide robust social protection for essential workers involved in COVID-19 relief efforts; and benefit vulnerable groups, particularly migrants and informal workers, who face high risks of exclusion under the PMGKY.
In the second phase, the programme will deepen the social protection package, whereby additional cash and in-kind benefits based on local needs will be extended through state governments and portable social protection delivery systems.
Social protection is a critical investment since half of India's population earns less than $3 a day and are precariously close to the poverty line. Over 90 per cent of India's workforce is employed in the informal sector, without access to significant savings or workplace based social protection benefits such as paid sick leave or social insurance.
Over 9 million migrants, who cross state borders to work each year, are also at greater risk as social assistance programmes in India largely provide benefits to residents within states, without adequate portability of benefits across state boundaries. Importantly, in an urbanising India cities and towns will need targeted support as India's largest social protection programmes are focused on rural populations.
Mr Junaid Ahmad said that the response to the COVID-19 pandemic around the world has required governments to introduce social distancing and lock downs in unprecedented ways. These measures, intended to slow down the spread of the virus have, however, impacted economies and jobs – especially in the informal sector.
India with the world's largest lockdown has not been an exception to this trend. In this context, cash transfers and food benefits will help the poor and vulnerable access a 'safety bridge' towards a time when the economy will start to revive.
The programme will create a system that will strengthen the delivery of India's safety nets program. It will:
Help India move from 460 plus fragmented social protection schemes to an integrated system that is fast and more flexible, acknowledging the diversity of needs across states;
Enable geographic portability of social protection benefits that can be accessed from anywhere in the country, ensuring food, social insurance and cash-support for all, including for migrants and the urban poor; and
Move India's social protection system from a predominantly rural focus to a pan national one that recognizes the needs of the urban poor.
Mr Ahmad said that the COVID-19 pandemic has also put the spotlight on some of the gaps in the existing social protection systems. This programme will support the Government of India's efforts towards a more consolidated delivery platform – accessible to both rural and urban populations across state boundaries.
The platform draws on the country's existing architecture of safety nets – the PDS, the digital and banking infrastructure, and Aadhaar – while positioning the overall social protection system for the needs of a 21st century India. Importantly, such a system will need to leverage India's federalism enabling and supporting states to respond quickly and effectively in their context.
Of the $1 billion commitment, an immediate allocation of $750 million for fiscal year 2020 of which $550 million will be financed by a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) – the World Bank's concessionary lending arm and $200 million will be a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), with a final maturity of 18.5 years including a grace period offive years. The remaining $250 million will be made available after June 30, 2020 and would be on standard IBRD terms. The programme will be implemented by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India.

As many college students have discovered, there's nothing quite like a piping hot cheesesteak or roast pork sandwich after a late night of studying. The Tony Luke's Philly cheesesteak franchise is discovering this as well, as the success of their recently opened Glassboro/Rowan University location continues, thanks in no small part to the growing popularity of cheesesteaks on college campuses.
The Rowan University location opened in June, bringing lunch, dinner—and a multitude of snacks—to students and staff of Rowan University, as well as to the residents of greater Glassboro, New Jersey.
Tony Luke's Philly cheesesteak franchise has long kept an eye on locations like Glassboro for their proximity to college students and staff, who are known for flocking to restaurants with a solid reputation for quality, speed and superior customer service.
Tony Luke's—an internationally recognized brand that brings guests "The Real Taste of South Philly"—is expanding beyond the Mid-Atlantic through an aggressive franchise expansion strategy that in part targets college towns, airports, stadiums and other non-traditional restaurant markets. This strategy targets restaurant industry experts and entrepreneurs looking to own and operate a time-tested QSR Philly cheesesteak franchise restaurant concept.
The brand is looking to grow in southern markets along the I-95 corridor, into areas such as Richmond, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; Charleston, South Carolina; Miami, Florida, and also including franchise opportunities worldwide.

Abducted Nigerian Schoolgirls Reunited with Parents
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari meets with some of the newly released Dapchi schoolgirls in Abuja, Nigeria, March 23, 2018.
More than 100 Nigerian girls recently released by the extremist group Boko Haram have been reunited with their parents.
The jihadist group abducted the girls from the town of Dapchi in February.
After their release Wednesday and a brief emotional meeting with their parents, the schoolgirls spent three days in the national capital Abuja where they met with President Muhammadu Buhari.
The girls were among 111 seized last month, of whom five died during the ordeal. One girl, Leah Sharibu, still remains in the hands of the kidnappers because she is a Christian and refused to convert to Islam.
Buhari on Friday pledged to do "everything in our power" to obtain Leah's freedom.
Buhari's administration had been under pressure to resolve the Dapchi abduction, which revived painful memories of the 2014 kidnapping of 276 girls from the town of Chibok.
Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan was criticized for his handling of the abductions from a Chibok school, some 275 kilometers south-east of Dapchi.
More than half of those girls have been returned but 100 remain missing.

In just a little over two months the 12th edition of Trade fair RailTech Europe will kick off in the Netherlands. Four conference programmes and over a hundred workshops are lined up. New this year is the Freight and Terminal Forum. "This year is bigger, broader and better", said organiser ProMedia Europoint.
Like the last edition, the fair is held at the Jaarbeurs Utrecht, on 26, 27 and 28 March. "We expect over 10 thousand visitors this year, and over 150 exhibitors. We are witnessing an enormous growth every year", said Rob Vos from organiser ProMedia Europoint. According to Vos, the entire rail sector will meet in Utrecht on these three days. There is a dedicated Start-up Fest and students may find their next job at the fair on the Rail Career Day. On top of that, success stories will be honoured with an Innovation Award.
In addition, there will be more than twenty workshops spread out over the three days. Visitors can sign up to gain knowledge about topics such as the Swiss modal shift policy, high-speed rail for freight, sanctions on Iran, or blockchain applications, to name a few.
Part of RailTech Europe are the RailTech Conferences 2019, a high-level conference programme from 26-28 March. Over thirty speakers will provide the latest developments and insights in European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) (day one), Energy Saving in Rail (day two) and Predictive Maintenance in Rail (day three).
Member states are struggling with the planning of the roll-out of the European Rail Traffic Management System and defining a business case. At the first day of the conference several experts will give their view on solutions how to accelerate the roll-out of this system.
To realise a shift to rail, sustainability will be one of the key topics for the railway industry. To make rail even more sustainable, there are several solutions to reduce the energy consumption of trains. At this conference days several international speakers will elaborate about the possibilities.
The railway industry is shifting more and more from corrective maintenance to predictive maintenance. Therefore monitoring, analysing tools and new asset management strategies are introduced. On the third conference days you will learn more about the latest technologies of predictive maintenance.

El Número Uno, una Retrospectiva Conceptual.
The objective of this essay is to show how the concept of number 'one' has changed, from its initial formal definition in Euclid's The Elements until very recently. Some of these changes are mathematical, others are philosophical, and others are historical in character. This retrospective of the concept of number 'one' implies that the history of mathematics is much more complex and rich than that which is suggested by our intuition when we limit ourselves to a unique, lineal and continuous mathematics.

Round 3 of guest hosting for Gypsy, this week's Musical Migrations features 3 hours of music from Turkey.
Many notable artists are absent of course. You can do your own research on contemporary Turkish Pop and the sub genres keep going. . . .

I see... inspiration. From many places.
Thumbs up for running on my machine.
With better music i would thumb it up as a 16k and 2nd (?) prod.
However, you may use the platform's standard temporary directory during the execution of your entry for storing data if such service is available.
Good start ! Use shader and rulez ;) !
some nice effects in here, but it definitely needs better gfx and music.
Why models contain so few polygons?
It is too long. Try to make something no longer than 2 minutes. Remove z-fighting issues. Add textures. Do not render polygons filled with constant color - at least add gradiend.
I liked some of the scenes, I think with better direction and better set of colours it could end up being quite nice.
The realtime generation scene sucked because of copy pasta.
Please continue and release some more, I hope next ones may be more enjoyable.
Bad, everything is very bad.

Twenty former St. Luke students, now Eagles, attended a special Mass at their alma mater May 15 to pay homage to legendary staff member Fran Bruns, who retired this spring.
"When I received the invitation from St. Luke principal Leslie Vondrell I knew our students would be grateful for the opportunity to attend." said Dan Meixner, CJ President.
After leaving from CJ Tuesday morning, the St. Luke grads arrived early to greet and thank Ms. Bruns, their junior high reading and language arts teacher, for all of the lessons she taught inside and outside the classroom.
At the celebration, Terry Schneider, pastor at St. Luke Parish, asked every person who had been taught by Ms. Bruns to stand and recognize her. At the end of Mass, CJ students presented her with gifts of appreciation, while friends and family gathered to give one final farewell.
Fran, who served the students at St. Luke for more than 30 years, will be fondly remembered by many for her effective teaching techniques. She always believed the two greatest tools in the classroom were a piece of chalk and a chalk board.
"Her English and language arts courses were phenomenal," said Dalton, who attended the morning celebration with fellow CJ and St. Luke classmates. "They really prepared me for my English classes at CJ. I know I would not have received such good grades here without her influence.
"Ms. Bruns really influenced us through her teaching style. The first day of school with her was my favorite memory. She gave us this great speech about ownership in the classroom. That really stuck with me," recounted the CJ sophomore.
"Ms. Bruns taught us how to be prepared for high school. She taught us more than just what was required through the basics. She really wanted us to succeed.

CHICAGO (AP) — Whether they were making neat grabs or nailing runners at the plate, the Chicago Cubs came through with one sparkling play after another.
It was just what Jon Lester needed.
The four-time All-Star won his fifth straight start, Javier Baez backed him with three hits and two runs, and the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 on Wednesday.
"That's what we're capable of doing," manager Joe Maddon said. "In the past when we've won at a high level, we've played outstanding defense. It never gets old. It never gets old to watch that kind of baseball."
Lester (9-2) gave up five hits over seven innings, though he didn't have his usual pinpoint command.
Baez had two doubles and a triple for a career-high three extra-base hits. He also stole a base and made some big plays at shortstop and second.
Kyle Schwarber hit his 14th homer. Kris Bryant added two hits and an RBI in his third straight game batting leadoff. And the Cubs handed Ross Stripling his first loss since April 30, taking two of three in a rematch of the past two NL Championship Series.
"We'll be somewhere (in the playoffs) in October," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "I can't speak to the opponent, but we'll be somewhere."
Lester walked three and struck out one batter. Anthony Bass worked the final two innings to finish the six-hitter.
"I really didn't have much today," Lester said. "I was kind of grinding through that one."
But he didn't need his best stuff with the defense coming through in a big way.
Baez made a strong throw from deep in the hole at shortstop in the second inning to rob Logan Forsythe of a hit and had fans chanting his name in the eighth after a neat double play as the second baseman. He caught Justin Turner's line drive and lunged to the bag to double off a diving Enrique Hernandez.
Right fielder Jason Heyward threw out Chris Taylor trying to score on Turner's fly in the third.
Center fielder Albert Almora raced in for a diving grab on Yasiel Puig's liner in the seventh. And the Cubs caught several balls on the warning track while winning for the 17th time in 25 games.
"Al comes in, dives for one and I'm just like, 'OK, I'm done clapping for you guys," Lester said. "It's expected now that these guys can make these plays."
Stripling (6-2) had won six straight starts. The right-hander went six innings, allowing three runs and eight hits while striking out seven without a walk. But the Dodgers dropped back-to-back games for the first time since they lost a season-high six in a row May 10-16.
Cubs starters have allowed one run or less in seven straight home games, matching Chicago's longest streak since May 11-June 7, 1919, according to STATS.
Dodgers: SS Taylor exited with a tight left hamstring in the sixth. He said it started bothering him running the bases in the third, and he expects to be available Friday, when the Dodgers open a three-game series at the New York Mets. ... INF Chase Utley (sprained left thumb) was ready to return from the disabled list. But the Dodgers decided to wait until Friday to activate him. "Kind of where we're at with the pitching," Roberts said. "He's healthy and ready to go with us, but having some option-able players on the roster makes a lot of sense for us. Playing a doubleheader, three games in 24 hours, we've got to kind of see how things play out and give ourselves some options."
Cubs: The Cubs placed closer Brandon Morrow (lower back tightness) on the 10-day disabled list. ... RHP Yu Darvish (right triceps tendinitis) threw a simulated game. Maddon said he looked "outstanding," and the Cubs will see how he feels Thursday before announcing the next step as he works his way back. ... Maddon also said the Cubs are "very close" to mapping out a plan for Carl Edwards Jr. (right shoulder inflammation) to return from the DL.
Dodgers: LHP Alex Wood (2-5, 4.22 ERA) tries to win his second straight start as the Dodgers open a three-game series against the Mets on Friday. RHP Zack Wheeler (2-5, 4.82) pitches for New York.

While all eyes are focused on Libya, Syria and other regional venues of political drama, Israelis have probably forgotten - if they were ever aware - that, at last May's Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, it was resolved that in 2012 an international conference would be convened to discuss "the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction, on the basis of arrangements freely arrived at by the States of the region, and with the full support and engagement of the nuclear-weapon States." The resolution also called upon Israel to sign the NPT and open its nuclear installations to inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The 2012 conference, which is to be organized by the secretary-general of the United Nations, the United States, United Kingdom and the Russian Federation, was the subject of a three-day conference held recently on the Japanese Peace Boat - a unique Japanese NGO based on an ocean liner.
With their thoughts on the Fukushima reactor and their families back home, the Japanese arrived in the Mediterranean Sea in mid-March to convene an onboard conference with civil-society representatives from Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and India, as well as leaders of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War ?(winners of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize?) from Greece and Switzerland, and the UN.
However, this doesn't mean that nothing can be done. A tool exists today that didn't exist at the time of the ACRS talks - the Arab Peace Initiative (sometimes known as the Saudi Initiative). The API, which was signed by 22 Arab states and supported by 57 Muslim countries, including Iran, expresses a general Arab and Muslim readiness to recognize and establish normal relations with the State of Israel, based on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, alongside Israel.
Although it doesn't mention the nuclear question or weapons of mass destruction, the API can be a framework for a parallel two-track discussion. One track would discuss methods of moving toward Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Arab comprehensive peace, while the second would discuss ways of advancing a Middle Eastern security regime, which would include a nuclear- and WMD-free zone. This would be the way of getting beyond the Egyptian-Israeli bind of which comes first, the chicken or the egg.

The Cuba Domadores' strength in depth has been arguably its biggest weapon over the four seasons that the franchise has been involved in WSB. Featuring an array of World Championship winners, Pan-American Champions and four Olympic gold-medallists, at every weight class there is another young talent pushing for a place in the side. Bursting onto the WSB scene in Season IV, the Domadores have made it to four consecutive finals, winning two and amassing an enviable 85% win record. That includes an incredible 93% win percentage in Season VI, during which the team dropped just one bout at home and only three on the road.
Team captain Julio Cesar La Cruz leads by example with a virtuoso style that has seen him register an 22-3 record on route to winning two WSB titles to go with his four World Championship golds and Rio 2016 Olympic title. Indeed, all ten of the Domadores' Olympians reached at least the last eight in Rio, with Robeisy Ramirez (56kg) and Arlen Lopez (75kg) joining La Cruz on top of the podium, while Johanys Argilagos (49kg), Lazaro Alvarez (60kg) and Erislandy Savon (91kg) won Olympic bronze.

COLLECTION: Jubilee Auditoriums
OTHER HOLDINGS: Snow, John
ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: John Harold Thomas Snow was raised between Vancouver, BC, England,UK, Olds, AB, and Innisfail, AB. At age 15, he told his father he wanted either to be a banker or a painter, and had successful careers as both. In 1928, he joined the Royal Bank of Canada, first in Bowden, AB, then in Calgary, from which he retired after 43 years at age 60. His time with RBC was inter-rupted only once, with his enlistment and overseas tour during World War II from 1940-1945. Once back in Calgary, Snow began studying life drawing under Maxwell Bates and experiment-ing with woodblock printing techniques. In 1953, Snow and Bates rescued two decommissioned lithography printing presses and several old limestone blocks from the Western Printing and Li-thography Company, and Snow quickly established himself both as a master lithographer and an instrumental mentor to colleagues and new artists. He exhibited nationally and internationally during his lifetime in print and graphics biennials, as well as in solo and group gallery shows. His landscapes, still lifes, florals, and portraits in lithography, watercolour, oil, mixed media, concrete sculpture, textiles, and intaglio relief helped usher Alberta into the modernist period. Snow worked diligently and prolifically until 1992 and died peacefully in 2004. The awards be-stowed upon him are numerous; notable among them are the Salon des Beaux Arts, Paris (1965), an honorary Doctorate from the University of Calgary (1984), the Alberta Achievement Award (1984), and the Alberta Order of Excellence (1996). His work is held in the collections of the Medicine Hat Museum and Art Gallery, the Glenbow Museum, the Art Gallery of Alberta, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Alberta Government House Foundation, and the National Gal-lery of Canada. In 2001, Snow's two-storey home in Lower Mount Royal (Calgary), where he lived and worked for nearly 50 years, was purchased by Calgary author Jackie Flanagan to ac-commodate writers who took part in the Markin-Flanagan Distinguished Writers Programme. As of 2010, the John Snow House is administered by The New Gallery. It holds their resource centre (a combined library and archive), hosts an artist-in-residence program, and is available for com-munity events.

Favor Cofounders Zac Maurais and Ben Doherty Launch Sunroom for Renters
July 25, 2018 by LauraLorek@gmail.com Leave a Comment
Ben Doherty and Zac Maurais, co-founders of Sunroom, courtesy photo.
Zac Maurais and Ben Doherty's first startup, Favor, had a pretty good outcome.
Favor, which launched in Austin in 2013, to deliver food to people's homes, sold to H-E-B earlier this year.
Instead of taking time off, Maurais and Doherty are back at the startup grind, launching Sunroom, a company that helps people rent apartments and homes.
Maurais knows the pain of finding a rental and moving firsthand. He has rented apartments and homes eight times in the last ten years and he continues to rent today.
"It was hard to find a place in a lot of circumstances," Maurais said. "Moving is a stressful time. You are up against the clock. You are trying to find a place that checks all of the boxes for you."
That's when they came up with the idea for Sunroom.
With Sunroom, renters can view as many apartments or houses as they like with Sunroom's in-house licensed agents, which they call Tour Guides. Then when they find a place they like, they apply online through Sunroom. The service is free for renters. Agents and landlords pay Sunroom if the company places a renter with them.
Sunroom can help people rent properties in the Greater Austin and Round Rock area initially. Then it plans to expand statewide in Texas and eventually nationally, Maurais said.
And they have raised $1.5M in seed funding from investors including Founders Fund Angel, Tim Draper of Draper Associates, Joshua Baer of Capital Factory, Active Capital, and Boost.VC.
Rentals are a big market with the average person spending 33 percent of their income on housing, Maurais said.
"It meets one of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, everyone has to find shelter," Maurais said.
Favor also met Maslow's hierarchy of needs for food because everyone needs to eat, he said.
"Both Ben and I are interested in how we can build really big companies," Maurais said. They tackle basic needs everyone has and provide a seamless way to get them with complex logistics and technology at a large scale that is all behind the scenes, he said.
And Tim Draper, an angel investor in Favor, is on board with the new venture. He helped Maurais and Doherty think big when they were crafting Favor, which was initially called NeighborFavor and they dropped Neighbor at Draper's suggestion. He wanted them to think about how they could deliver burritos around the world.
"Draper has lofty goals that sound a little bit crazy to the average person but he's totally serious," Maurais said. He challenges Maurais and Doherty to tackle big problems and to create solutions that scale.
This time around, raising money for Sunroom was a bit easier than raising money for Favor, Maurais said.
"All of the investors did really well from our last company, so it was really easy to go to the people we like working with and say we're back at it again," he said.
"They just wanted to get behind us as entrepreneurs," Maurais said. "They know we might not have it all figured out on day one. But we're going to make the right iterations and pivots and that it is going to work."
But the grind is still the grind.
"Adam Draper, Tim Draper's son, lovingly calls us cockroaches because we persevere through the most challenging of times and we're capital efficient. We just keep going. We can live through anything," Maurais said.
In fact, when Favor first came to Austin, the company was almost out of money, Maurais said. Doherty was living underneath his office desk to save money just, so the company could survive, he said.
"That is one of the things we've had to do to make Favor successful," Maurais said. "We still have that drive more than ever."
And Maurais and Doherty are big believers in doing every role in the company.
At Favor, they made hundreds of deliveries. They would code during the day and make deliveries at night.
This past year, they each got real estate licenses. Maurais has done hundreds of showings with renters already.
"You have to get on that front line of defense and talk to customers and do the activity, so you can figure out how to make it better," he said.
Sunroom has nine full-time employees and seven tour guides, which are contractors.
Sunroom launched a pilot program a few months ago. It is now available to everyone in the Austin area. Renters can sign up at SunroomRentals.com.

Looking to narrow down your search even further?
In our How to Search article, we reviewed the basic filtering options you are given when first visiting our site. At the top of the page, you have additional options which adjust the results based on the type of opportunity you are looking for. These options are: Jobs, Internships, Volunteering, Idealist Days, Groups, Organizations, and the default All.
After selecting the Jobs, Internships, or the Volunteering filter, you'll see the Remote / On-Site filter, which allows you to narrow down your search results to opportunities that are considered Remote or On-Site. Remote opportunities can be done from locations outside of the organization's main location, whereas On-Site opportunities require you to work in an office at the same location as the organization.
*Tip* If you're ever unsure of how an organization defines "remote," be sure to look at the description of the listing for more information.
After selecting the Jobs filter, you'll see the Full Time / Part Time filter, which allows you to narrow down search results to opportunities that either require a long term and more permanent commitment, or ones that are for a limited period of time.
After selecting the Jobs filter, you'll also see the Education Level filter, which allows you to narrow down search results to opportunities that require a specific level of education.
*Tip* You can select several education levels to include more than one kind in your search results. We recommend selecting all of the options at or below your highest education level.
After selecting the Jobs, Internships, or the Volunteering filter, you'll see the Functions or Job Function filter, which allows you to narrow down search results to opportunities that focus on a specific roles. Try looking through the list of functions to see if one matches the type of position you are interested in. You can also select several from the list at the same time to view a variety of results.
*Tip* Although we recommend that all listings contain at least one function, not all organizations add them to their listings, so it's possible in some cases that filtering with functions may prevent you from viewing some opportunities that match your desired role.
After selecting the Jobs filter, you'll see the Professional Level filter, which allows you to narrow down search results to opportunities that require a specific amount of job experience. You can also select several professional levels to include more than one kind in your search results.
*Tip* The professional level for each opportunity should be straightforward, but be sure to look at the description of the listing for more information to get a better sense of what the organization is looking for in a candidate.
After selecting the Internships filter, you'll see the Compensation Filter on the left side which allows you to narrow down internships to ones that are Paid or Unpaid. Keep in mind that some organizations may mark their listing as Paid, but may actually give compensation in ways other than money. Alternative compensation can include college credits, travel reimbursements, and/or other compensation. Be sure to read the Internship's description for more information.
