Introduction
Have you ever mixed sand and salt together and wondered how you could separate them again? If you had to separate them, would you have nightmares of tiny tweezers, a magnifying glass and hours spent picking grains of salt and sand apart? Don't be afraid, there is another way! Using the differences in solubility between salt and sand, you can find the simple "solution" to this problem.

Background
Chemistry for the most part is the study of matter and how it behaves and interacts with other kinds of matter. Everything around us is made of matter. One important property that matter has is solubility. We think about this when we dissolve something in water. If a chemical is soluble in water, then when you add it to water it will dissolve, or disappear. If it is not soluble, then the chemical will not dissolve and you can see it, either suspended in the water or at the bottom of the container.

When a chemical is dissolved in a liquid, such as water, it creates a solution. In a solution, the liquid is the solvent, and the soluble chemical that is added to and dissolves in the liquid is the solute. Even though a solvent dissolves a solute, the latter blends in but is still there. If you evaporated all of the liquid from the solution, you would be left with the dry solute again. In fact, this is how salt is processed in giant salt flats where seawater is slowly evaporated, leaving behind huge amounts of sea salt.

Materials
? ?? Strainer (optional)
? ?? Salt
? ?? Sand
? ?? A napkin
? ?? Magnifying glass
? ?? Two glass jars with lids
? ?? Measuring cup
? ?? Water
? ?? Teakettle or pot
? ?? Two spoons
? ?? Stove and oven
? ?? Funnel
? ?? Coffee filter
? ?? Spoon
? ?? Oven mitts

Preparation
? ?? If the sand has a lot of debris in it, use a strainer to strain out the large debris and purify the sand.
? ?? Place some salt and sand separately on a napkin and, using the magnifying glass, closely examine the salt and sand. What do you notice? How does the size, shape and color of the grains of sand compare with the grains of salt?
? ?? Be careful when using the stove and oven, and when handling the boiling water. An adult should help you with these steps.

Procedure
? ?? In a glass jar add one quarter cup of salt and one quarter cup of sand. Put the lid on the jar and shake until the salt and sand are completely mixed into the liquid.
? ?? Using the magnifying lens, closely examine the mixture. What do you notice? Can you still see the individual grains of salt and sand?
? ?? Fill the teakettle or pot with at least one cup of water. Heat the water on the stove until it is boiling. Be careful when using the stove and handling the boiling water. An adult should help you with this.
? ?? Very carefully pour one half cup of boiling water into the jar and stir the mixture with a spoon. Be careful when handling the boiling water, which will make the jar become very hot! (Caution: You should pour the water very slowly, so the glass jar does not shatter from a rapid change in temperature.)
? ?? Using the magnifying lens, closely examine the solution. What do you notice? Can you still see the individual grains of salt and sand?
? ?? Place the coffee filter in the funnel and place the funnel on top of the second glass jar. Slowly pour the entire solution over the filter. As the solution seeps through the filter, let it collect in the second jar.
? ?? Looking at the coffee filter, what do you see? Carefully scrape off any particles from the coffee filter with a spoon and place them in the first jar.
? ?? Turn the oven on to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful when using the oven and ask an adult to help you with this. Place both jars on to a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven until all of the water has evaporated from them. This may take over an hour. When you check on the jars to see how much water has evaporated, what do you notice?
? ?? Turn off the oven and let it cool down. (When glass changes temperature very quickly, it can shatter.) Then, using oven mitts, carefully remove the jars and allow them to cool to room temperature. They will probably still be very hot!
? ?? After the jars are cool, closely examine their contents using the magnifying glass. What do you notice? Can you still see the individual grains of salt and sand? Are they mixed together or separated?
? ?? Extra : At the end of this activity, you can carefully use a measuring cup to measure the amount of salt and sand you ended up with. Do these amounts match the amounts you started with? Why do you think this happened?
? ?? Extra: Many different chemicals have different degrees of solubility. By adding different amounts of salt, sugar or baking soda to water you can see how soluble each chemical is. Just add each chemical, one teaspoon at a time, to a half-full glass of water until you notice that it no longer dissolves when you stir it. Which chemical is the most soluble (dissolves the most into the same amount of water); which chemical is the least soluble?
? ?? Extra: How might temperature affect the solubility of a chemical? Try dissolving the same amount of sugar in hot water, room-temperature water and ice-cold water, using the same amount of water each time. What happens? Can you think of other variables that might affect solubility?

Should I Form a Corporation for Flipping Houses?

One common question real estate investors of all types have ? including flippers ? is the question of forming a business entity. For most of you, forming a separate business entity is going to be a good idea ? once you actually get involved in buying properties.

Here?s why:

Real estate property of any kind is what lawyers call a ?liability-generating asset.? Home and property owners are a steady source of income to the membership of the Trial Lawyers Association. People can slip and fall on your property, or someone can get sick from chemicals found on your property, or someone can slip and fall on your sidewalk, or a child can come and play in your unattended pool, without your knowledge, and drown. Any of these things can result in a hefty lawsuit against you ? and result in a nasty cash payment, judgment and even force you into bankruptcy.

Forming a separate legal entity, such as a corporation or limited liability company ? and in some cases, a limited partnership ? can help shield your own personal assets against claims against your investing business. You may have a nice amount of cash in your personal account. If someone gets hurt working on your roof on a house flip, and it?s not covered by workers compensation insurance for whatever reason, everything you have in your bank account, your cars, your personal property and even your home (depending on your jurisdiction) is on the table, and may potentially be stripped from you if you lose a lawsuit and have a judgment against you.

On the other hand, if it?s not you who owns the property, and it?s not you personally who contracts with the workers and contractors fixing and preparing your properties, but a corporation, you have some degree of protection, due to the legal doctrine of corporate personhood and ?limited liability.

Basically, the doctrine states that a corporation or LLC (depending on state law) can enter into contracts itself, and it is a legally separate entity from the owner, with its own assets and books.

Why You May Not Want to Form an Entity

The only reason you might not want to form a separate business entity to hold your properties, really, is that:

A.) You believe you have nothing to lose (which is false, because even if you have no assets, a creditor can attach your future income).

B.) You might not actually go through with your plan to invest in a property. Once you decide to cross the Rubicon and burn your boats behind you and become an investor, though, I definitely recommend speaking with an attorney licensed in your state, and an accountant, and selecting and forming a business entity.

You?ll have to pay a filing fee and a corporation or entity tax every year. And you?ll have a few other pro forma responsibilities as well, if you form a corporation. But the asset protection you gain from this small investment is well worth it for a serious property investor. If you own a lot of properties, sooner or later chances are you?re going to get sued. You want to have that limited liability protection already in place.

Note: There?s a line in a Rush song called ?Free Will? that says, ?If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.? If you don?t form a separate entity, you will have chosen the form of a sole proprietorship for your investing business. If you have a partner investing with you, then you will have chosen a general partnership by default.

What Kind of Entity do I Need?

Remember I said consult a lawyer and an accountant? I wrote that deliberately. Yes, it?s easy enough to file articles of incorporation directly with your state?s Office of the Secretary of State without an attorney. But when you start a real estate investment practice, forming a close relationship with both an attorney and a tax expert is just one of the basic foundational tasks you will want to do from day one.

The time to have a good relationship with a lawyer is before you have a legal problem ? not after. Much of the value you?ll get out of that relationship is preventative, not reactive.

Plus, state laws vary quite a bit. I can?t write a column for every state. Get a lawyer licensed in your state.

Now that I?ve punted the football, though, I can mention a few basic considerations:

C-Corporations

C corporations have the fewest limitations on how you can raise capital. If you are thinking big, the C corporation is the way to go, because you can have an unlimited number of investors. If you are a foreign national, or you expect to have investors who are either corporations themselves or foreign nationals, you might want to consider a C corporation. You can even ?go public? with these if you get big enough!

The downside of a C corporation is in how it?s taxed. If your corporation makes a profit, Uncle Sam takes a 35 percent chunk of your profits in the corporate income tax, which is among the highest in the world. As of 2013, that tax is slated to increase to 39.6 percent. So the government will take nearly 40 percent of your profits before you even see a dime yourself.

But that?s not all. Once you do take a dividend out of your corporation, you will also have to pay income tax on the corporation. For now, you get a bit of a break, in that the tax is at a favorable qualified dividend income tax rate. But come 2013, that tax goes away, and you wind up paying full boat ? ordinary income tax.

This ?double taxation? means that you will get to keep a much lower percentage of your total profits by the time tax time comes. For this reason, the C corporation is usually not the first choice of beginning property investors. However, a sharp attorney or tax expert may identify some special considerations that indicate a C corporation is warranted.

S Corporations

S corporations are much more common for smaller property investors. You still get the liability protection you get from a C corporation. But there?s no ?double taxation.? S corporations are ?pass-through? entities. That means that the IRS disregards the corporate profits. Instead, they ?pass through? directly to your individual tax return.

The downside of S corporations? You are more limited in how you can raise equity partners. You can only have 100 owners. They all have to be ?U.S. persons,? and they can?t generally be corporations or partnerships. Only U.S. resident individuals and certain kinds of trusts can own shares in S corporations. (In legalese a ?U.S. person? isn?t necessarily an individual, but also can be a fictional entity under the doctrine of corporate personhood, such as a corporation or trust. But federal law specifically disallows corporations from being shareholders in S corporations.)

When forming your business plan, take a look at your exit plan, and begin with the end in mind. If it involves selling your investment company to a corporation, or it involves selling a piece of it to your rich uncle who?s a foreign citizen, at some point you may need to switch to another entity.

Begin with the end in mind.

Limited Liability Companies

A limited liability company, or LLC is sort of a cross between an S corporation and a partnership. The IRS does not recognize LLCs as a separate legal entity for income tax purposes. You can choose whether to file taxes as a partnership or corporation, so the LLC provides you with more flexibility. You can also have a wider variety of equity partners (called ?members? for LLCs, and ?shareholders? for corporations).

Protect Your Limited Liability

That?s some nice limited liability you have there. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

Limited liability is not a blank check to do stupid things with your corporation, thinking you can get away with murder because you keep very little equity in your corporation or LLC and your house is protected. The courts can and do occasionally disregard the corporation or LLC and hold the owner personally liable for claims against it. This is called ?piercing the corporate veil.?

When does this happen? First, the courts and the IRS will disregard the corporation if you did not pay payroll or income taxes you withheld from any employees ? including yourself, for that matter. (This is one of the biggest no-no?s in the tax code. If the IRS thinks you are not paying taxes you withhold from your employees? paychecks, they will hunt you down like a chicken.)

Next, the courts may pierce the corporate veil if they believe you are abusing the limited liability doctrine. For example, if you are commingling your personal funds with the corporate funds, or using the corporation as a personal piggy bank, or inappropriately using your corporation to deduct personal expenses.

This is pretty technical stuff when you do it right ? and things vary from state to state. I definitely reiterate my advice ? speak with a good CPA and attorney ? and get them on your team from day one.

Paolo Gabriele Faces Trial, And Eyes Turn To Vatican Judicial System

VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Benedict XVI's former butler is facing up to eight years in jail for allegedly stealing confidential documents from the pope's own desk. But according to a Vatican judge, Paolo Gabriele won't be serving any time in the world's smallest state.

Paolo Papanti Pelletier, a law professor at Rome's Tor Vergata University who also serves as one of the Vatican court's judges, told journalists on Tuesday (June 5) that people who are sentenced to a jail term in the Vatican City State are routinely sent to an Italian prison because the Vatican doesn't have its own jail system.

Paolo Gabriele, who served as Benedict's "assistente di camera" until his arrest two weeks ago, appeared on Tuesday for a hearing with the Vatican investigating judge, Piero Antonio Bonnet, in the presence of his two lawyers and Nicola Picardi, the Vatican prosecutor.

Bonnet will decide whether Gabriele will have to stand trial or be acquitted.

The pope's former butler is now in custody in one of the Vatican's four "safe rooms" -- 12 feet by 12 feet rooms with a bed, a desk, a window, a bathroom and a crucifix, Papanti Pelletier said.

Gabriele, he stressed, is treated with the "utmost respect" and, when he attended Mass on Sunday in a "Vatican church," he was escorted by two Vatican police officers but was not handcuffed.

Gabriele is accused of "aggravated theft," a crime that carries a prison sentence of one to six years, which could be extended to eight years if more than one "aggravating factor" is found. Additional charges such as "revealing state secrets" may carry maximum sentences of up to five years.

Vatican criminal law, according to Papanti Pelletier, envisions "very mild" sentences: "In Italy, prison sentences are much harsher," he said.

In the Vatican's three-tiered court system, if the pope's butler is to stand trial he will first be judged by the three-man tribunal of which Papanti Pelletier is a member. While the current investigation is secret, the trial would be public, he said.

The tribunal's sentence can be referred to an appeals court and, ultimately, to a supreme court manned by three cardinals, presided by American Cardinal Raymond L. Burke. This is the only Vatican tribunal that can try other cardinals, should one of the "princes of the church" be found to be involved in the Vatileaks case.

In a TV interview on Monday (June 4), the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, described the leaks as "carefully aimed, and sometimes also ferocious, destructive and organized."

Pope Benedict XVI has the power to pardon Gabriele at any moment but, according to Papanti Pelletier, it's expected that he would wait for the trial to be over before deciding how or if to intervene.

Debt Relief Solutions ?Getting Legitimate Help With Non-Profit Debt Relief Programs

Debt Relief Solutions ?Getting Legitimate Help With Non-Profit Debt Relief Programs

Looking for debt relief solutions and want to go for non-profit debt relief programs? Well, just keep in mind that the services of non-profit debt consolidation can be provided only by those companies which receive this status from the IRS. It is not necessary that a non-profit organization will be completely free of cost. They will charge you a nominal monthly fee and offer the services.

A consolidation company always helps you in combining all the dues you have in a single payment. It is then that you need to get a consolidation loan and cover all these outstanding payments. These consolidation companies will also help you by providing credit counseling and they can even negotiate with your creditors and ask them to reduce the amount of debt that you owe. These companies offer their services through donation fundings and government grants.

It can be a daunting task to get hold of a legitimate non-profit debt relief program.

Remember that even a legitimate non-profit relief company will take years to wipe out the debt and hence, those who are promising to eliminate debt in a few months are not authentic. However, when you are taking out a consolidation loan, make sure that you restrict you expenses to ensure that you don?t default. Once you default, any collateral against the loan will be seized by the bank.

Picking up a debt consolidator which is non-profit is not easy. Some use the non-profit tag to abuse and violate the law while others may seem to be in your locality whilst actually they are located in a different nation altogether. Properly investigate before you pick one.

Ask for a proof of the status that they are claiming. If they can show 501(c)(3), which is an internal revenue code issued by IRS for tax exemption, be assured that the organization is honest and is a non-profit one.

You may also come across companies which showcase their affiliation with religious groups. This is to make you trust on them. While some are genuine, the others are simply trying to grind you by swaying your mind. If you come across an organization asking you to pay voluntary fees and then forcing you to pay a huge amount beyond your reach, it is the right time to drift away to a different farmland.

It is essential that a debt consolidation firm spends ample time (at least an hour) with you in person or over the telephone, discussing your expenses and income and understanding your financial situation. If any organization, claiming to be non-profit, is not spending ample time, look for a different company.

Check the Better Business Bureau and find out the trustworthiness of the company you are about to select. If the BBB states an unsatisfactory record, never trust the company and head for a different one.

Keep in mind that a non-profit relief company will charge minimum fees and will provide counseling and negotiate with the creditors to eliminate over-limit charges, late-fee and also the debt by a certain amount. Choose wisely to have a smiling debt free face.
