	Sif - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sif ("relative") is, in Norse mythology, a goddess of the Æsir, wife of Thor (Þórr) and mother of Thrud (Þrúðr), Ullr and Móði.
		Sif was not the mother of Magni; this was Thor's son with Járnsaxa.
		It is possible that Sif was a goddess of the home, of field and of the crop and she had some power on destiny.

	The Goddess Sif - Norse Deity
		Sif, the second wife of Thor, is the lady with the corn-gold hair.
		Sif signifies summer Fertility and corn, hence Loki's cutting of her hair is interpreted as a fire destroying a corn field.
		Sifs name is cognate with the German sippe, meaning "kith and kin." From this we may assume that, like Frigga, Sif is a goddess associated with peace and friendship in a happy family, and with conjugal fidelity.

	SIF Research: 1995 Trends Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		SIF researchers were commissioned to identify major trends in responsible investing, including the impact of the end of the South Africa divestment issue.
		SIF researchers found that, in a substantial number of cases where institutions (such as colleges and universities) focused narrowly on South Africa divestment for responsible investment purposes, a process remains in place for making similar investment decisions in relation to other human rights issues, the environment, workplace concerns, and other key matters important to investors.
		The new SIF findings paint a picture of responsible investing as a diverse movement that continues to thrive two years after the end of the apartheid-related divestment issue.

		Evidence gathered from overseas SIF programs in Frankfurt and Rotterdam indicates that when clients are provided with the opportunity to engage in skills programs and community activities they decreased their drug use.
