The people never matter and the oppressed masses never matter. What we always have is some quite small powerful conspiratorial group, which has a great deal of power but lacks legitimacy, moving against legitimate and traditional power, and invoking the masses as mascots.
Not quite.
I don't disagree with Jim's contention that one of the main long-term drivers of the political collapse of ancien régime states was the replacement of feudal magnates by civil servants. I've gone into that in some detail here and here. But just as there is an unavoidable tradeoff between the risks of entrusting high office to aristocrats and the disease of bureaucracy, so too there is an unavoidable tradeoff in military affairs between mercenaries and militia.
The basic question is simple. If a garrison is ordered by its officers to shoot into a mob of unarmed commoners, will they? If they definitely will, they are reliable and "good soldiers", but they're ultimately loyal to their officers. If they sometimes won't, the locals will probably think of them as "patriots" but they're like dry twigs, waiting for a spark.
If soldiers are perfectly happy to gun down unarmed rascals, they're probably happy to mistreat them in other ways… especially where there is the prospect of plunder or pleasure. And if they're happy to harm their country men under orders, they probably don't need much of an excuse to harm them without orders either, so long as there is no chance of getting disciplined.
Now, generally they will get disciplined, because officers like to lead well-oiled fighting machines and nothing wears down a machine faster than a descent into petty crime and rape-orgies. But officers also know the value of rewarding their subordinates for a job well done, so, historically speaking, they are not averse to intense, targeted pillaging, either as a bribe before a difficult undertaking or as a reward after a hard-fought success.
This can be a headache for the sovereign. The smaller headache is that, in addition to having officers to keep the troops disciplined, he needs some way to keep the officers disciplined, lest they extract goods and services from the population they protect (a line of business which the sovereign must guard jealously). And again, there is a trade-off between two options: either the officers behave because they have colonels who keep them in line, or they behave because they would never dream of hurting their innocent neighbors anyway.
You can see the ugly principal-agent problem this is setting up. Bottom line is, you can protect a state with armies filled with recruits who don't give two shits about their neighbors. You can also protect it with foreign mercenaries. Heck, you can even invite in a whole nation of Goths to bulk up your legions: worked for Marcian, didn't it? But ultimately the only reason these troops can keep order is that they do whatever their officers tell them to. And sometimes their officers tell them to rebel; so they rebel (yes, "whatever" means whatever); and there is a lot of slaughter.
Anticipating this problem, many sovereigns prefer soldiers who are, to some degree, loyal to their side, not to their officers. Sure, they'll obey the officer so long as they perceive his orders to be motivated by loyalty, discipline, and honor, but they melt away when he tries to use them as pawns in a personal power struggle. (Or frag him.)
Getting a soldier to think of his countrymen as friends and foreigners as foes is complicated. Lots of different techniques. Bottom line is, it solves the revolt problem but now you care about how big the angry mobs are. A little angry mob, okay, no problem. They're not going to want to get too close to the bayonets. A big angry mob… well, you'll have to cross your fingers and hope the regiment follows its orders. This time.


text: From rising wages to a slowdown in housing, economic evidence is mounting that the US Federal Reserve is at or near a neutral level of interest rates where it can take stock of where the economy stands before deciding on its next moves, Cleveland Federal Reserve president Loretta Mester said on Friday.The comments from a usually hawkish reserve bank president, made in an interview on the sidelines of the American Economic Association annual meeting, add to the sense that the roughly quarterly pace of rate hikes enacted by the Fed for the past two years may take a pause this year absent a surprise jump in inflation or faster-than-expected economic growth. "We are in a new world," Mester said, where the obvious need to raise rates has given way to a situation where economic growth is expected to slow, wages are rising on the basis of low unemployment, interest rate sensitive sectors of the economy like housing have ebbed, and the unemployment rate has roughly "stabilized" at a low level.Taken together, Mester said, those are the sorts of developments one would expect in an economy where interest rates were near a neutral level that was neither encouraging nor holding back economic activity. "We really need to be looking at the data and having the economy tell us, do we need to move more? Do we need to move more, faster? Can we wait?" Mester said. "We should take our time and assess….We may be where we need to be."Overall, she said she felt the Fed was in a "really good spot." Mester, reiterating comments by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell earlier in the day, said she was also paying careful attention to recent volatility in financial markets, both for the information that may convey about economic risks, and for the risks volatility itself could produce if it starts to undermine economic confidence.Published in Daily Times, January 6th 2019

Unsafe buildings pose threat to lives; MCJ, admn turns blind eye
As many as 70 unsafe buildings have mushroomed in the city and are posing a threat to the lives of citizens. However, the municipal corporation and district administration have turned a blind eye towards these hazardous buildings.punjab Updated: Sep 09, 2014 22:04 IST
As many as 70 unsafe buildings have mushroomed in the city and are posing a threat to the lives of citizens. However, the municipal corporation and district administration have turned a blind eye towards these hazardous buildings.
One person was killed in Jalandhar last Friday in an incident of roof collapse due to heavy rain in the state but the incident failed to move the corporation and the administration.
The municipal corporation, which had conducted a survey around five years ago and identified 70 unsafe structures, has not carried out any physical verification of the entire city since then. The city consists of several narrow and cramped areas like Mai Heeran Gate, Quilla Mohallan, Lahoria Mohallan, Saidan Gate, Rainak Bazar, Pipla Wali Gali, Attari Bazar and Balmiki Gate where many unsafe buildings are endangering the lives of their occupants as well as those of the neighbours.
These decades-old buildings are in such a bad condition that they can collapse any minute.The officials and political leaders rushed to the spot in Basti Danishmandan after the incident of roof collapse but none of them talked about surveying the unsafe buildings in the city, showing apathy towards the issue.
Corporation officials said the corporation did not want to become party to the issue as most of the unsafe buildings had become a legal battle between the owners and tenants and hence, it was better to avoid issuing notices to the occupants.
The officials said the corporation issued notices to occupants only after neighbours or other people complained to them about the possibility of an old building collapsing in their locality.However, officials said the government should prepare a policy for the occupants living in such structures as most of them were belonged to weak financial backgrounds and did not have money for repairs.
Vinay Kumar, a resident of Saidan Gate, said there was a very old unoccupied building in his street. Half the roof of the house had collapsed due to recent rain. Kumar said, "We have written to the MC urging them to demolish the building but they are yet to initiate action," he said.
Another resident Sakshi said children played in the street and if the building was not razed by the corporation soon, it could endanger many lives.
When contacted, mayor Sunil Jyoti said they had not conducted any survey recently and MCJ could have no information about unsafe buildings on its own. He added the MCJ came to know of unsafe buildings only when residents complained.

Being a Part of Downtown Chico
● By Jon Lewis
Hometown VibeAugust 2015
By Jon Lewis
Russell Van Dewark admits that he sounds "kind of Hallmark-ish," but the best description he can come up with for downtown Chico is: "it's a warm community." A supervisor at Formal Education, a men's clothing store, he has been in Chico for less than a year but he already calls it "my home away from home."
"It's a really awesome place and there are a lot of really awesome people. It's definitely a really diverse downtown but there's a sense of togetherness," Van Dewark says. There's also a practical side to the downtown scene: "During school, it's pretty sweet to wake up and within walking distance is everything you need and more."
Downtown Chico is pretty sweet, and it's not exactly by accident. Business owners, employees, residents and even the customers put a lot of work in to keep it as nice as possible, and nobody takes it for granted.
"There's just a feel of ownership, which I adore," says Amy Anderson, manager of the popular Made in Chico store. "Everybody feels like it's their own."
"Being a part of downtown is belonging to a great neighborhood where everyone knows and helps each other out. There's a great vibe to our downtown area," says Eric Metcalf, owner of the Chico Paper Co.
Chico is not a large city—its population was 86,187 at the 2010 census—but its downtown is impressively large and it shares in the vibrancy that permeates a city that is home to both a public university and a massive and much-loved municipal park.
With its well-shaded sidewalks, colorful shops and pedestrianfriendly vibe, downtown Chico just looks like what a downtown should look like, and it feels like one, too.
Visitors pick up on that on a regular basis, says Katie Simmons, head of the Chico Chamber of Commerce. "People have asked if downtown has ever served as a backdrop to a movie because it's so iconic," she says, noting the "beautiful tree canopies, the lovely architecture and classic storefronts."
"A lot of the businesses are owner-operated, so you have a real local feel to most of the shops. It's a quintessentially beautiful community. There are features for children, the water fountain
in City Plaza, fabulous retail shopping for all ages, an historic hardware store, a vibrant nightlife … visitors often remark that the most memorable part of Chico is downtown."
"We have a very unique downtown," says Nicole Romain, membership services coordinator for the Downtown Chico Business Association. "For one thing, we're fairly large with 40 square blocks and 450 different businesses. And another thing: we're very well known for our events. Our Thursday Night Market is ranked up there with the best markets nationally."
A combination of street festival and farmers' market, the Thursday Night Market is held weekly from April through September on Broadway between 2nd and 5th streets. It routinely draws between 8,000 and 10,000 people to downtown to shop, dine and enjoy a variety of free entertainment.
The biggest and most popular event, though, is the annual Taste of Chico. On a Sunday in September, downtown streets are closed to vehicle traffic and more than 100 restaurants, bars, wineries and brewers offer samples. "It's a one-day event, from noon to 4 pm, and typically we see about 12,000 people throughout that time span," Romain says.
This year's Taste of Chico is set for Sunday, Sept. 13. The Downtown Chico Business Association also hosts free concerts every Friday evening at the City Plaza. The family-friendly events are held from May through September, with Chico-based musicians offering up everything from blues and swing music to classic rock and reggae.
The association also has had good luck with the "Beautiful Clean and Safe" campaign that it implemented last year, Romain adds. The program created a team of downtown ambassadors who walk the downtown streets, helping customers and shopkeepers alike and serving as additional eyes and ears for public safety and social service providers.
The program also enlists clients at the Jesus Center, a Chico-based day center for people in need, and pays them to keep the downtown area neat and tidy. "It's nice when you see a majority of merchants coming together and being fans of keeping downtown clean and safe," Romain says.
Anderson, from Made in Chico, says a blend of continuity and infusions of fresh energy keep downtown alive and vital. "Many of the merchants have been here for 30-plus years. You've got the same people day in and day out, enjoying downtown and walking around. Plus you've got great local businesses coming in all the time. You can't re-create that."
"There's a special charm to downtown Chico," says Metcalf, the Chico Paper Co. proprietor. "From the college to the great restaurants to the murals that surround us, it's all artful in nature. The diversity of all the locally owned shops makes it fun for the whole family."
Having his gallery and custom framing shop located downtown "makes us more accessible as a great place to view our local talent. I am in awe of the amount of artistic craftsmanship right here in Chico," Metcalf says.

Fabian Balbuena
West Ham sign Paraguay defender Balbuena
West Ham United are delighted to confirm the signing of Paraguay international Fabian Balbuena.
The defender has joined the Irons from Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A side Corinthians for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-year deal.
A powerful centre-back with an eye for goal, Balbuena has enjoyed success in Brazil and his home nation of Paraguay, and will now test himself in the Premier League.
"I'm really excited for this new challenge and my target is to meet the demands of the Premier League," the 26-year-old said.
"Obviously to be at West Ham is an extra motivation, and I want to do my best to help the team."
Director of Football Mario Husillos is delighted with Balbuena's signing and believes the defender will prove to be a worthy addition to the West Ham squad.
Husillos said: "We welcome Fabian to West Ham United. He is somebody we have monitored for a long time and we are very pleased to have taken the opportunity to sign him.
"He is a player of great strength, character and personality. To be captain of Corinthians, one of the biggest clubs in South America, requires a very strong mentality, and he also has international experience with Paraguay.
"He has won many individual honours and was often named one of the best central defenders in Brazil for his statistics.
"We believe he will improve our squad and our defensive qualities. He is the perfect age – a player for the present and the future – and he can be a very important player for many years at West Ham."

Born in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay's second largest city, Balbuena signed with Club Cerro Porteño (Presidente Franco) as a teenager, spending two years with the side and helping them to win the Division Intermedia, the second tier of the Paraguayan football league, in 2011.
The 6'2'' centre-back would move to Club Rubio Ñu in 2013, playing 17 times, before switching to Club Nacional Asunción later in the year.
After 42 appearances in all competitions, Balbuena would sign for one of Paraguay's most prominent sides, Club Libertad, in 2014.
It was at the Asunción-based team that Balbuena's stock began to rise, with the defender establishing himself as an important aspect of the team that won both the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo Clausura in his maiden season.
After 20 appearances in his first campaign, the defender would make another 34 in his second in a year that would also bring his first international cap for Paraguay, in a 1-0 defeat to Mexico.
In 2016, Balbuena departed his home country and transferred to Brazilian team Corinthians, immediately establishing himself in the Timão's starting XI.
Two goals in 41 appearances in his first season was quickly followed by six finishes the following campaign; a year in which Balbuena played 58 times for Corinthians. Only two other players made more appearances for the side than the centre-back that campaign as the team won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and the Campeonato Paulista.
Nicknamed 'El Comandante', Balbuena's individual efforts did not go unnoticed. The defender's excellent season saw him selected in the 2017 Campeonato Brasileiro Team of the Year and also awarded the Bola de Prata – an honour given to the best players in their respective position.
Corinthians also won the Campeonato Paulista this year, with the side beating Palmeiras on penalties in April to lift the trophy. Balbuena found himself named in the Campeonato Paulista Team of the Year for his performances.
With seven international caps to his name, West Ham's newest signing most recently represented Paraguay in March in a friendly against the USA.
West Ham would like to welcome Fabian and his family to the Club and wish him all the best for his career with the Hammers

To be fair a lot of what he has said there is pretty valid.
When I first saw Balbuena I was also concerned he wasn't agile enough. But he has totally proved that concern wrong. He isn't the fastest and most agile but he is fast enough and when you add that to his positional play he is a proper handful to play against for a striker.
Love this fella. Proper hard-nut and fully committed.

Re: Fabian Balbuena Signed
"He's (Balbuena) a no-nonsense, big, physical defender but I've come to the decision over the years that centre back is the hardest position to adjust to coming straight from South American football to the Premier League," Vickery told talkSPORT.
"Some even better defenders than Balbuena have struggled with it a bit, I'm thinking specifically of (Gabriel) Paletta who came into Liverpool and really didn't do well at all but ended up in Italy and doing so well that he played for Italy.
"Balbuena has been with Corinthians who are a very, very organised team… I'm a little bit worried for him taken out of that context, I'm a little bit worried that he might be a bit too ponderous in the Premier League.
"He's not the quickest… he may just get found out a bit."
He still in work out there?

Re: Fabian Balbuena Signed
Gets better every game, seems to read it very well and is very good positionally to be in the right place for clearances. I reckon he will chip in with a few goals as well this season. For £3.5M not really much to moan about a very welcome addition.

Re: Fabian Balbuena Signed
Again, like Anderson, I see him getting better each game. You can see him adapting to the pace and physicality of the game over here and, from what I can see, he has everything you need to cope with it. Looks really strong in the air and tackle. Once he gets his distribution really sorted he will be a top player for us.
He reminds me of one of those players that another club get under the radar and you say "Where did they get him from? Why are we not getting players like that?"
For once that player is ours.

Remove CouponUnity ads (Improved Guide) - Apr 2017 update
What should you know about CouponUnity ads?
CouponUnity ads might seem useful, interesting and impressive. They provide various shopping deals, discounts, and might look like a great tool that helps to save a couple of dollars during online shopping. However, the reason you started seeing pop-ups, banners and other types of ads having a label "CouponUnity" it might be a sign that your computer is infected with an adware program. This ad-supported application is promoted as a helpful and reliable shopping assistant. Users might install this browser plug-in directly and indirectly. As soon as CouponUnity adware is installed on the device, it starts tracking users' browsing habits and generates interest-based ads. In most cases, such programs are ad-supported[1] and sponsored by third-party companies, and might use you as a tool to generate web traffic for dubious websites (it means you probably are not going to get any real money saving deals at all). We highly recommend CouponUnity removal if you do not want to encounter malware[2] or suffer from a phishing attack.[3] One click on these ads might lead to hazardous consequences.
This ad-supported program belongs to the infamous group of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). These applications usually pretend to be useful programs when in reality the only aim of them is to advertise their partners and gain pay-per-click income. This is exactly how CouponUnity works. Although it might seem that this program actually brings exceptional shopping deals, and they are even related to the products that you have recently searched online, this application is a computer parasite that should be removed ASAP. Do you know why this program brings such good deals that look attractive to you? Well, CouponUnity virus is capable of gathering data like your recent search queries, downloads, browsing history, IP address, computer geolocation and so on. Based on this information, this shady software selects specific ads and sends them to you. However, marketing reasons are not the only case how aggregated data might be used. Details about you might also be shared or sold to third-parties and other advertising networks or platforms. As a result, you might see even more commercial content or deal with other privacy-related issues.[4] Thus, you should remove CouponUnity immediately using reputable anti-malware program, for example Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego.
Questions about CouponUnity ads
CouponUnity ads might offer various shopping deals; however, clicking on them might lead to the malware attack.
You might receive ads by CouponUnity in the form of pop-ups, banners, and in-text hyperlinks. Now, we would like to give the most important tip for you. DO NOT click on these advertisements. Most of them are not going to lead you to the website that offers a great deal; instead, you might end up on a dubious third-party site, which might be dangerous.[5] Such websites can offer you programs to download for free; do not accept such offers, because there is a slight chance that you might download an infected file. Therefore, if you already installed this CouponUnity browser extension, you should delete it from your browser immediately. If you noticed an increased amount of these ads, you should check your computer's security using professional security tools and remove and remove all spyware and malware from it.
How could this application end up on my computer?
So-called CouponUnity virus is spread via bundling method, which means that it travels around the web together with other free programs as an attachment. This is why you have to be super careful when you install software on your computer – in most cases, no one notifies the PC user about such additional attachments. The only way to reveal information about their existence is to investigate carefully Privacy Policy and Terms of Use documents that can be found on the selected program's installation setup. Moreover, when you install freeware, choose the right settings to install it correctly. Opt out the traditional Standard, Basic, or Default installation modes and opt for Custom or Advanced instead. Then you can deselect the suggestions to install optional apps and finish the installation process. If CouponUnity hijack has already occurred, you should take some actions right now. Besides, don't forget these tips when installing new software next time. It will prevent from other inconveniences caused by PUPs.
How can I get rid of CouponUnity ads?
There's no doubt that you should get rid of the adware program which is responsible for delivering these unreliable ads. We have briefly talked about possibly dangerous CouponUnity redirect tendencies and problems related to data tracking. Thus, it's two main reasons why you should not keep this browser extension installed on the system. For doing that, you have two options – the manual removal technique and the automatic removal technique. Needless to say, the automatic elimination mode is easier, safer, and quicker to apply.

Decide which removal method suits you the best and remove CouponUnity ads.

So I was shopping on Ebay when this stupid ad came up in front of my face. Well, it showed a great deal on a bag that I was looking for such a long time, so of course I clicked on the ad! Guess what, ended up on a site that asked to install a flash player update, so as a result, I am infected with even more adware now. Thanks for nothing, CouponUnity.

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips doubled their leadership group Thursday when they announced that 1999-born forward Riley Sutter will serve as alternate captain for the 2018-19 season.
Sutter joins linemate and fellow 1999-born forward Connor Dewar, who was named Tips captain last week. Both players are eligible for this year's NHL draft later this month and both are entering their fourth season with the organization.
"I feel like I've grown not only as a player, but a person as well," Sutter said during exit interviews last month following Everett's 4-2 series loss to Swift Current in the WHL championship series. "My teammates have helped me along the way, and the coaches too… Hopefully I can continue to grow as a player and person."
Sutter scored one goal with three assists in an injury-shortened rookie season in 2015-16. He jumped to 20 goals and 19 assists in his second season, and finished with 25 goals and 28 assists this year while centering Everett's second line while flanked by Dewar and Garrett Pilon.
Sutter chipped in nine goals and 10 assists in 21 postseason games this spring.
His line also defended the opposition's top scoring line during the postseason as the Tips won their second Western Conference title in franchise history.
"It would have been nice to get the two more wins, but like I said, there were a lot of people doubting us at the start of the year and the bad start we had," Sutter said. "But we've come a long way from there and the team succeeded pretty well. Hopefully that will continue moving forward."
Dewar was an alternate captain last season while Sutter is new to the formal leadership role.
"Riley Sutter is a terrific example of dedication, work ethic, and results that make him an ideal candidate to wear a letter for this next season," Silvertips head coach Dennis Williams said in a press release. "His game took major strides this season and reached a new level for us in the WHL playoffs, opening the doors for the run we had. He's completely bought in and the professionalism he demonstrates is a terrific example of what it means to be a Silvertip. He and Connor Dewar have traits to be extremely effective leaders for us this next season."
Sutter participated in the NHL Scouting Combine last week in Buffalo, N.Y. and was ranked No. 80 among North American skaters on the final NHL Central Scouting list. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound forward also skated at the Top Prospects Game in January.
"I don't want to think about (the draft) too much," Sutter said. "Obviously the season is done and it's probably the time you can think about it. I did everything I could do during the season to put myself where I'm at today so hopefully I'll continue to have a good summer and hopefully hear my name get called."

Talking Point
VW's silver lining
Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal can certainly be considered as the straw that broke the camel's back as automakers, most recently Toyota, continue to drop diesel variations. In such an environmentally-driven time, manufacturers are desperately trying to be the cleanest OEM, investing in alternative fuels like hydrogen and electricity. Up until now, diesel was hanging on in the market, being a much cleaner-burning fuel that could power large vehicles and pose strong economic benefits for drivers. However, once the 'clean' image was extinguished, people realised how pollutant it really was. And, following the emissions probe, diesel is on its deathbed.
Prior to this, OEMs were dipping into the world of alternative fuels, with a few examples of EVs on our roads, though they lacked range and customer desire alongside their combustion counterparts. Now, in wake of the emissions scandal, it seems automakers are putting all their energy into EVs, which was made clear at the Paris Motor Show last week; VW especially. The automaker has endured a painful 2016, with many executives around the auto group losing their jobs. It is safe to say, we will never see a diesel VW in the future.
On the other hand, this scandal could be a catalyst for VW's future success. Take its latest I.D. Concept for example: a highly automated electric car that will cover a distance of 400-600 kilometres on a single battery charge. What is even more important than this is that the vehicle will be launched as soon as 2020, illustrating the new charge of a company that wants to put things right again. By breaking into - and hopefully dominating - the developing EV market, VW will, in the future, almost certainly see greater profit than they had with internal combustion engines. Unlike other EVs, the I.D. actually looks like a production car for the masses, stylish and futuristic but not excessive. The Tesla Model S woke the industry up to the future, but the emissions scandal has forced manufacturers to act upon it.
By being forced into EV territory, although not the first, VW has the chance to take a strong position in future mobility, with a relatively empty market to exploit. Whilst rivals will continue to push out now-favoured petrol cars, VW must electrify its brand as soon as possible. In a matter of years, the EV market will be overcrowded, as pioneers count their fortunes.

It's day 59. But it's our day 1 going South, by choice. All the other time we went there, it was because of the drift.
The wind is still blowing from the North. In our case going towards Tuktoyaktuk, it means tailwind. We are surfing along. For few hours though since it becomes too strong and we choose to call it a day. Still, 20nm. What a difference with the tacking experience!!
Seb and Eric take advantage of the spare time to pump and filter some water in order to collect micro plastic for future analyzations. They also drill the ice to measure its thickness. Adventure with purposes !
Tomorrow, alarm will ring between 1 and 4am. We leave early, as soon as the wind drops. We might have 3 days of good sailing. Time for progress…

Energy Audits: First Step to Efficiency & Savings
What is an Energy Audit?
Non-residential building owners in Alaska can cut energy costs by an average of 30% by implementing energy efficiency upgrades. An energy audit evaluates a building's energy use and recommends retrofits to improve the building's energy efficiency. Efficiency retrofits often include LED lighting and lighting controls, programmable thermostats, hot water re-circulation timers, better building zoning, added insulation, etc. An energy audit report details a building's energy use and prioritizes retrofits, showing cost, savings, and payback. There are two types of energy audits available through SWAMC's Energy Efficiency Initiative – a "walkthrough" Level 1, or an "investment grade" Level 2. Contact email@example.com to review an example of each audit level.
Level 1 Energy Audit
A Level 1 audit identifies no-cost and low-cost changes that can be made to save energy along with cost and savings estimates for those changes. It provides a basic analysis of higher-cost retrofits and will suggest additional evaluation of systems or equipment that appear to be large energy users.
Level 2 Energy Audit
A Level 2 audit provides all the benefits of a Level 1 audit, plus detailed cost and savings analysis for all identified energy efficiency measures. Building owners can use a Level 2 audit report to proceed directly into project implementation, taking it to a bank or other source for financing or funding.
SWAMC Energy Efficiency Initiative
SWAMC and the Southwest Alaska Energy Network have launched an energy efficiency initiative running through 2019. With our partners Information Insights and Energy Audits of Alaska, low-cost energy audits are available to small business owners in the Aleutians, Bristol Bay, and Kodiak regions.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.
Who is eligible and how to register?
Small Businesses are eligible for the USDA-funded Commercial Building Energy Audit program.
For-profit small businesses in the Aleutians, Bristol Bay, and Kodiak regions may apply. This includes commercial fishing vessels, lodges, restaurants, warehouses, office buildings, multi-family residences, and more. The program offers energy audits – Level 1, Level 2, fishing vessel-specific, and custom (equipment- or system-specific such as a refrigeration system) – with 50% to 75% discounts.
Learn more about the audit program for Commercial Buildings.
Learn more about the audit program for Fishing Vessels.
Tribal/Municipal/Borough Governments, and Non-Profits – Coordinate with an auditor traveling to your community
Public- or non-profit owned buildings are not eligible for the USDA audit discount. However, any building owner in a community where an energy auditor is conducting audits through the USDA Commercial Building Energy Audit program should contact SWAMC if they are interested in receiving an audit. Ineligible building owners can still benefit by taking advantage of the energy auditor already being in their community (avoid paying travel costs!). Level 1, Level 2, and custom (equipment- or system-specific such as a refrigeration system) audits can be done at a cost negotiated with the auditor.

Keeping on top of industry changes
Posted on April 3, 2020
Chris Hall and Venetta Sacha attended the 2016 BusNSW Member Annual conference in Wollongong. The conference provided to more than 200 bus operators, government representatives and industry suppliers the opportunity to expand their knowledge on current issues and changes happening to the industry.
Our clients John King and Gerard King were actively involved in discussions with many other operators on the effect of these changes to their government contracts and KPIs. John King from Premier Motor Services could not be more proud with the excellent on-time-running KPIs of his bus company in Wollongong and meeting his other contract requirements. Focused on systems and delivery of great customer satisfaction, John has built a strong management team and is running bus and coach services with over 400 buses and coaches from 14 depots. He passionately contributed from the interactive industry panel his view on the operators' key issues for the next 3 years.

Ups & Downs: Managing in uncertain times
Posted on April 3, 2020
How do you create certainty in uncertain times? Much of what we do personally to grow and protect our wealth, and commercially for the businesses we manage is subject to unpredictability and change.
The answer is that there are no certainties in life – sorry about that. But, this doesn't mean that you can't take charge and protect against uncertainty – you just need to know where and how to look at it.
Where we are at
Government spending will continue to be a focus this year with the interest on Government debt now running at $1 billion per month according to Treasury. There are only a few ways the Government has of dealing with the increasingly ominous debt trend; initiatives to lift productivity and growth to boost tax revenues, spending cuts, and increased taxes or a reduction in tax concessions. This year, for you personally, your SMSF, and your business, you should keep this in mind when trying to manage change as Government policy is likely to provide both opportunities and risks in the short and long term.
For you
Your wealth
In the last 9 months, we have seen a huge drop in the value of equity markets, especially here in Australia. The All Ordinaries Index sat at close to 5,955 points at the end of April 2015. As at 21 January 2016, the index was 4,896 points. A drop of over 1,000 points or close to 18%.
It's a volatile market and difficult to know what to do beyond "don't panic." Most of the leading economists are predicting continued growth despite the market being easily spooked. It's important to know your individual position and the likely impact of change on you – investing vs paying down the mortgage, different investment types, SMSF vs retail funds. Reacting with the crowd to change is never a good idea. If you haven't already, talk to one of our advisers about your options.
Also bear in mind the impact of Government policy. Negative gearing currently costs more than Australia's defence budget. It's likely to be cut back or grandfathered out of existence at some point.
Got kids?
The reforms to social welfare in the last few Federal Budgets didn't quite make it through the Senate in full. But, times have changed and Palmer United is no longer the Senate 'king pin' it once was – directing traffic on Government policy and social reform.
One change that did pass Parliament was the 'no jab, no pay' reforms. From 1 January 2016, if your kids are not immunised then your family is no longer eligible for subsidised childcare or the Family Tax Benefit Part A end of year supplement.
Extensive reforms introduced to Parliament pre-Christmas will change the structure of childcare subsidies to consolidate the current system of multiple subsidies to just one. The new subsidy will be income and activity tested. While these reforms will not take effect until 2017 (assuming they pass Parliament) it's important to understand that change is coming and its impact on you.
In general, if you currently receive family tax benefits and your household income is getting towards the upper threshold limits, you should do a quick check and see if you can still cover your expenses if any benefit payments you currently receive were removed. Further reforms to refocus benefits on lower income families are likely.
Work in the not-for profit sector or for hospitals or ambulance services?
From 1 April 2016, changes to salary sacrificed meal entertainment and entertainment facility leasing benefits come into effect. A single grossed-up cap of $5,000 will apply to these benefits from this date. Many people in these sectors benefit from these concessions so it's important to check the changes and the implications to you.
Living outside of Australia?
From 1 January 2016, Family Tax Benefit A will be reduced for people outside of Australia. Families will only be able to receive FTB A for 6 weeks in a 12 month period while they are overseas.
Also, if you have a Higher Education Loan and live overseas for 6 months or more, from 1 January 2016 you will be required to make repayments of your HELP debt if your worldwide income exceeds the minimum repayment threshold at the same repayment rates as debtors in Australia.
Stocktake debt
Every so often it's important to review what you're spending money on and why. Debt is a big issue for most as we accumulate debt in different forms over time – home loans, investments, credit cards, etc. If this sounds like you, it's almost guaranteed you are paying too much. It's time to take stock and see what debt you have and if there is a way of getting a better deal.
Your Business
Look at the trends and opportunities
Many of the 'dramatic' changes that impact on mature business models – online retail vs traditional retailers, the shift from paper publishing to online publishing, the demise of packaged electronic products on shelves to download delivery, or for example, the impact of Uber on taxi services – were reasonably predictable. There were recognisable indicators for each of these changes well before they had a direct impact on Australian businesses. Online retailing existed decades before denting bricks and mortar retail sales in any recognisable way, and as soon as faster internet speeds enabled quicker downloads the packaging and B2B sale of most electronic products became unnecessary. Tech company Uber started in 2009, spreading exponentially around the world well before it launched in Australia in 2014. If anything, Uber proves that the foundation of any industry can be shaken dramatically in less than a few years.
In many cases, these 'disruptive' businesses offered something to consumers not reliably fulfilled by the existing market – efficiency, access, range, and importantly, greater consumer control not just acceptance of what is on offer.
As business operators, it's important to constantly assess the impact of trends on our current business and product range and work toward the 'what ifs'.
Trends also exist in Government policy and can have a positive or negative effect on your business. At present, the Government is firmly focussed on boosting business productivity and investment. There are a wide range of incentives to stimulate spending and the entrepreneurial spirit:
Crowd funding – funding is difficult for entrepreneurial start-up businesses in Australia. New frameworks are currently being developed to formalise crowd and other funding sources to encourage investment opportunities beyond bank finance.
Employee share schemes (ESS) – new rules introduced last year bolster the tax benefits for employees of ESSs and provide special concessions for start-ups. Further changes should follow shortly.
Accelerated depreciation – small business and primary producers can access a range of concessions that enable them to offset expenses in the same year as the expense – rather than depreciating the expense over time.
Tax relief for restructures – changes to be introduced this year should allow small business to change their business structure without the risk of triggering CGT and other income tax implications. So, it is a good time to check whether your structure is right for your long-term business plans.
Your Superannuation
There is almost no doubt that the current raft of concessions available to superannuation will change. To lock in your access to the current concessions, you should focus on maximising the tax-free component of your superannuation. If you haven't already, come and see us to have a chat as there are different strategies that can be utilised depending on your situation.
SMSF and related party loans
The ATO is looking closely at related party loans in SMSFs. If your fund has borrowed money from a related party, for example a member of the fund, to acquire an asset and the terms of that loan are not at arm's length or well documented, then you need to get the paperwork and the loan terms in order ASAP. While the ATO have stated that they are not necessarily looking at arrangements before the 2014-15 income year (unless it comes up in audit), you can expect a much closer scrutiny from now on.
Super and Social Security
The social security income test tightened on 1 January 2016 for superannuants. If you receive defined benefit income from your superannuation, a larger portion of this income will now be taken into account when applying the relevant social security income tests – capping the proportion of income that can be excluded at 10%. This affects aged care fees, income support payments, the Low Income Health Care Card, etc.

Business structures and restructures: Is your structure working against you?
Posted on April 3, 2020
Many business owners don't realise that the business has outgrown its structure until something comes up – and this something is usually something negative.
Are your assets at risk?
Legal action by employees, customers and suppliers as well as divorce are the two primary risk issues for many business operators. If you have been operating as a sole trade or as a partner in a partnership or have simply been holding all business assets in a single entity, your structure may not provide sufficient asset protection. If any personal assets or valuable assets of the business are held in the same entity which carries on the trading operations of the business, those assets may be at risk. To protect your assets it is generally preferable to separate as many valuable assets as possible from the trading operations.
Can you introduce new business partners or investors?
If you want to provide key employees or investors with an equity interest in your business, your current business structure may not allow for this. For example, it is not generally possible to provide fixed entitlements to the profits of a business operated by a discretionary trust.
Entities such as companies and unit trusts are a much more effective vehicle to facilitate the introduction of new equity partners as they can provide a fixed interest in the income and capital gains generated by the business. New investors can also potentially claim interest deductions on funds borrowed to invest in the company or unit trust.
Reinvesting in growth
Reinvesting profits in your business is important if you have or expect a strong growth path. Some business structures however don't readily facilitate profits being retained by the business. For example, it is generally more difficult for a trust to retain profits, as the trustee of a trust is taxed on these profits at penalty tax rates if they are not distributed to the beneficiaries of the trust each year. This is compared to private companies where profits are taxed at a maximum rate of 30% or 28.5% and can be retained in the company without the need to distribute these profits annually.
Can you take money out of the business?
When you first established your business, it's hard to know what your profits are going to be and for many, there are a few lean years of losses to get things up and running. Your personal circumstances might have changed as well – marriage, children, a spouse, etc. These changes can drive the need for change. The structure of your business has a direct impact on how money flows through it to the investors. For example, one of the benefits of a discretionary trust is that the income of the trust can be distributed to any of the beneficiaries of the trust in any proportion, and that proportion can change annually.
Impeding international expansion
If you are contemplating expanding overseas this can significantly increase the complexity of your operations. All of a sudden you will be exposed to a new set of Australian tax rules in addition to the legal and regulatory requirements that will need to be considered in the foreign jurisdiction. On top of the complexity, control may also become an issue. The right business structure can limit your exposure to risk.
Access to tax incentives and concessions
Research & Development (R&D) concessions are only available to companies. If you have a significant level of R&D activity that could potentially qualify for the tax incentives, it's worth exploring your options if you are not already in a company structure.
Can you exit your business?
The business lifecycle has shortened considerably with less business owners seeking to create empires but more opportunistic business models. The wrong structure will limit your ability to sell your business interests and may have a dramatic and detrimental impact on the amount of tax you pay on the sale proceeds. It's important that you explore this issue well before you actually plan to sell or reduce your stake in the business.

Skiing and Business
Posted on April 3, 2020
Many clients know that one of my passions in life is skiing. I have even been fortunate to have skied with some clients in beautiful places around the world.
Recently I was lucky to spend a few days skiing in Thredbo with family including my two young grandsons. The grandsons are still at an age where they think their grandfather is a cool dude skier (how long will that last?). Anybody who skis in Australia knows that that in the run-up to the trip there is time spent searching weather websites to see if we will be blessed with snow and great skiing conditions or the dreaded rain, wind and the resultant icy skiing. We had great skiing conditions which made the skiing easy. Not every skiing trip has been with such great skiing conditions.
Since returning from the trip I have been reflecting on the similarities between skiing and business. Like skiing, business is easy when conditions are good – all that is needed is a bit of drive, the right gear and the all important cash flow. Once the conditions deteriorate we need abilities, resilience and strengths not called on in the good times. At these times it is still enjoyable to ski if family or friends are there to support and guide each other. Not all skiers, or business people, have the skills and planning to survive.
During difficulties good relationships, both personal and business, are important to support each other. It is easy to have a good relationship when everything is rosy. A great relationship is tested and proved by the difficult times.
At Hall Consulting Group we have been in business for many years and we have witnessed every possible challenge of the ups and downs of business. It is during the down times that we provide the strength of our knowledge and experience to support and advise clients through difficult times. Just like skiing business can be rewarding and enjoyable if you are skiing with the right team!

I saw Festus at the KY state fair in Louisville, KY when i was about 12 yrs old,1970. He came out riding a mule, played a banjo, sang & danced. He looked just like he did on Gunsmoke. I still watch Gunsmoke 2-3 times a week. Matt Dillon was the ultimate law man. They don"t make shows like that anymore.

A way to exchange stamps with other members is to put surplus material in Circuit Books.
The booklets are circulated among interested collectors so everyone can look through the priced stamps at home, and take what they want. Keeping track of the selected stamps, money is set aside for the Circuit Book Manager, and the books are passed on to the next club member.

Interview with Mr. Tufail Ahmed Sheikh – COO, Safe Mix Concrete Ltd
Mr. Tufail Ahmed Sheikh is currently serving Safe Mix Concrete Limited in the capacity of Chief Operating Officer. He has an extensive experience of ready mix concrete industry spanning an appreciable period of over nine years. He also has to credit a couple of years' experience of working as Marketing Manager in Dewaan Salman Fiber Limited and has also served the same in company in capacity of Assistant Manager Marketing and Research for two years.
He is a thorough professional who has earned his Civil Engineering degree from NED University of Engineering & Technology and has done Masters of Business Administration from Hamdard Institute of Management Sciences.
Safe Mix Concrete Limited (Safe Mix) is engaged in providing ready mix services to its customers. It was incorporated in April 2005 and was listed on the then Karachi Stock Exchange in 2010. It is the only public listed company in the industry. With vast experience, highly qualified human resources and state-of-the-art equipment, Safe Mix endeavors to provide the best quality services to its customers. Safe Mix has successfully been able to provide its services to mega projects in Pakistan including Naya Nazimabad and Emaar to name a few.
PAGE: your views on construction activities in Pakistan:
Tufail Ahmed Sheikh: With the fall of interest rates, falling oil prices and ever-increasing demand from housing sector, construction activities have positive future prospects in Pakistan.
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is further expected to boost the economy of the country and increase construction activity in the country. Respected Prime Minister has already inaugurated 193-kilometres long Gwadar-Turbat-Hoshab Motorway in Balochistan and further highways are expected to be constructed in Balochistan in the near future.
Diverting resources towards the under developed areas of Pakistan, construction of dams to cater the electricity needs of the country are all expected to increase the economy at a faster rate and increase construction activity in the country.
PAGE: How would you comment on the use of ready mix concrete in Karachi in construction activities?
Tufail Ahmed Sheikh: With increased construction activity in the country, the use of ready mix concrete is increasing in Karachi. However, preference is given by decision makers to conventional/unorganized method of concrete over ready mix concrete due to availability of cheap labor in the country, complex legal/documentation requirement for ready mix concrete and lack of proper monitoring by authorities as to compliance of safety measures.
However, I would like to give credit to Sindh Building Control Authority for introducing the mandatory use of ready mix concrete for construction of buildings ground plus five upper floors in Karachi. This would help to achieve the desired quality of concrete for safe, sound and stable structures in Karachi.
PAGE: Your views on the competition in ready mix concrete business:
Tufail Ahmed Sheikh: It is a highly competitive industry especially because ready mix concrete being provided is highly homogeneous in nature. With low cost of entry into the industry, many companies are entering into the market. The buyers have a wide variety to choose from. However, this has helped improved the quality of services in the industry.
PAGE: Your comments on the prospects for ready mix concrete business in the days to come:
Tufail Ahmed Sheikh: Ready mix concrete is highly being used all over the world. With increasing awareness of ready mix concrete and development works in the country the prospect of this business is good. Problems do exists due to availability of unorganized sector/conventional method of concrete but the government will have to take steps to align the unorganized sector with the ready mix concrete industry to fully reap the benefits of the ready mix industry. Nevertheless, in order to fulfill the growing demand in the construction industry, ready mix industry has a good prospect for the future.
