Functions of the eu commission

With reference to the structure, role and functions of the EU Commission, the EU Council of Ministers and the EU Parliament, critically explain to what extent you consider the EU to be a democratic organization.

Due to the expansion of the European Union's power, the EU' s institutions are able to legislate and enjoy jurisdiction over all the Member States that are a part of the EU. This shift in sovereignty from national to international sovereignty has caused great unease with those Member States and in particular with regards to the democracy of the EU' s institutions. This paper will investigate the structure, role and functions of the EU' s institutions and whether they can truly purport to be democratic international institutions.

The Institutions

Due to the sui generis nature of EU law, the EU' s institutions do not fall into the typical national categories of legislature, executive and judiciary as such. Therefore, a formal separation of power is not applicable when dealing with EU law. There is much overlap between the functions of each institution. There are five institutions in total: the European Commission; the Council of Ministers; the European Parliament; the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance. Concentrating on the first three only, we shall now look at their respective functions, composition and structure.

The EU Commission (The “Commission”)

The Commission is a supranational institution as its members seek to achieve what is in the best interests of the EU. Article 211 of the EC Treaty sets out the Commission's functions but in short, the Commission's function consists of considering, proposing and legislating. Many policies start at the Commission and then it administers them whilst checking that the EU' s other organs are implementing them correctly. It drafts legislation and often, rather than legislating itself, passes it on to the Council or the Parliament to legislate. Two important sources of the Commissions influence derives from its ability to deliver opinions on any EU matter, and its obligation to publish an annual report on the activities of the EU as both of these give the Commission scope to influence policy debates. In practice, the Commission is the most relevant with regards to interaction with the legal profession as it decides matters that are directly relevant to issues that relevant to their clients.

The Commission comprises of 27 members, each one nominated by each Member State. One of the Commissioners serves as its President and there are five Vice- Presidents. Each Member State agrees first on a candidate to become the President of the Commission and then the other members follow. The Member States then nominate the other members of the Commission along with the President's approval. The Parliament must approve en bloc the composition of the Commission as it may block the whole of it. Art 213 EC shows that each member must act independently from their Member States instructions thus emphasizing the independent nature of the Commission.

Each Commissioner is responsible for their respective specific portfolio. The Commission can be split into three broad departments where its own Commissioner heads it. The policy department deals with economic, environmental, social, agricultural issues. The external relations department deals with development, expansion, aid and trade. The services department works on advising on policy, informatics, infrastructure and logistics, legal services and administration.

The EU Council Of Ministers (The “Council”)

Under Art 202 of the EC Treaty, the Council is to be regarded as the political and law-making organ where it maintains co-ordination of economic policies of Members States. It makes decisions and confers powers to the Commission. It is not an independent organ; it represents the national interests of Member States and differs to the Commission.

Art 203 EC states that the Council is to comprise of a representative from each Member State who is then authorized by its government to bind that Member State. It is usually the Foreign Minister of each state who fulfils this role. However, if the Council has to discuss a specific issue (i.e. agriculture) then the Agricultural Minister from all Member States would be required to attend. A President presides over the Council and is chosen from one Member State for six months. This is then rotated amongst the Member States. Gaining Presidency is significant as the President has the ability to set the agenda for the Council and so matters that are pertinent to that Member State shall be given a high priority.

The Council votes on issues via a majority of its members and is regarded as the primary decision-making institution. The population of each Member State determines the weighting of voting. Most of the Council's work is completed by the Committee of Permanent Representatives (COREPER) are permanent diplomats who supplement the Council. Most Commission proposals are given to COREPER who then attempt to reach a consensus and around 90 per cent of decisions are taken at this level.

The EU Parliament (The “Parliament”

Art 192 has cemented the role of the Parliament as a key legislative organ as it adopts regulations and directives. By a majority of its members, the Parliament can request the Commission to submit any appropriate proposal on issues that require Community legislation for the purposes of implementing the EC Treaty. The Parliament supervises the Commission and as stated above can require proposals from it. The Parliament is the EU's budgetary authority and has as an ombudsman who hears complaints regarding the EU's institutions. The functions of the Parliament have grown over recent years and many see this trend will continue.

Art 189 states that the Parliament is to comprise of representatives of the ‘peoples of the States brought together in the Community'. The members are elected by the holding of elections across the EU. Each Member State sends a number of representatives to the Parliament for a period of five years. These MEPs do not sit in relation to their Member States but rather in political groups. The number of MEPs is not linked to population as Luxembourg has more MEPs per head population than the UK.

The Parliament is the only directly elected EU institution and so is afforded democratic respect that the other institutions lack. However, it does not enjoy the power of the Council, as it has no power to dismiss the Council. With regards to the Commission, it has no control over it whatsoever. This is a significant point and one that raises questions relating to the ‘democratic deficit' that is inherent in this structure of organs.

The ‘Democratic Deficit'

The legitimacy of the law making procedures has dominated the debate that surrounds the Community's legislative process. The greater the economic and political power that has shifted, the more concerned critics have become to the lack of democratic process and accountability. Chalmers notes that ‘democratic deficit' refers to three critiques that we shall turn to.

1. Representative Democracy And Member States

Representative democracy refers to the Parliament's input and the extent that Community legislation undermines the sovereignty of democratically elected parliaments in Member States. This transfer of powers, from Member States to the Council and Commission has ignored a shift in power to the EU Parliament. As stated above, the legislation is proposed by the Commission, then negotiated amongst those in COREPER and is then adopted by the Council. It is evident that the Parliament's powers have not increased and so concentrates on the role of national parliaments when legislating. Weiler contends that the Parliament remains shamefully ‘debilitated', both by ‘its formal absence of powers' and by its ‘structural remoteness' from the ‘peoples' it claims to represent

2. Participatory Democracy

The participatory democracy refers to the criticism that Community law making is ‘insufficiently plural' and fails to take into account the interests of different parties. It is not a single political community that can lay claim to the ‘primary political allegiances of its members in the same way as the nation-state'. Chalmers states that due to the mixed nature of the EU, it favours republican models that are concerned with placing democracy in organs that are not centered around one political community but a ‘community of communities'. This can lead to problems as such diversification of interests can lead to a situation where only the interests with greatest support will prevail.

Weiler notes that the EU advocates a principle of ‘constitutional tolerance' in that Member States are required to acknowledge a shared destiny with foreign states and the values of these states without attempting to change them. However, in practice, this acknowledgment only goes so far. Member States often acknowledge those states that are similar to them and so ignore those states that are different. The participatory democracy fails as the similar interests of different Member States are the only interests that are acknowledged and so it becomes a highly selective form of governance.

3. Deliberative Democracy And European Citizens

Habermas notes that for a democracy to be truly democratic it has to enable strangers to come together in order to decide common matter as equals and freely. Individuals respect the laws that are passed due to their participation in the process of appointing a legislator. Deliberative democracy concerns refer to the lack of public debate between citizens and the EU as its institutions concentrate on negotiations between Member States. Such debate is not present between citizens of the EU as it remains within the national sphere.

EU citizenship is regarded as a solution to this as its inclusiveness would facilitate such democratic dialogue within the EU that would transcend national boundaries. Halberstam states that the lack of openness, public accountability and effective democratic participation in the new Europe hinders such democratic development within the EU. This was evident in the poor electoral turnouts in recent European elections and referenda. The involvement of citizens within the EU in the process is crucial in attempting to legitimize the EU's institutions. However, such calls are likely to spark debate with national legislatures.

The constitution and the reform treaty claim that the EU is founded on the value of democracy. In fact it was founded by representative democracies whose plans for the development of the European co-operation excluded democratic representation. Lack of proper democratic representation is arguably the biggest flaw in the planning of the EU. The founding institution, the European Coal and Steel Community was set up to be run by appointed officials with independent powers of decision making over its members, power to actually overrule governments. The EU now perform many functions of a state but it is not run as a democratic state .The restrictions of freedoms discernible in the charter of fundamental rights of the union and the extension of so-called ‘' shared competences'', which can only take more and more power away from sovereign governments, reduce democratic validity and democratic control of the European Union.

In member states there are small but significant roles for citizens in making democratic system work. Political parties usually develop policies through period of discussions with their active members and their own politician who have considerable face to face contact with electors and therefore know their concern. They present the board outline of their policies to the public and on the basis of these, the party's record and the reputations of individual politicians a party is elected to power. It‘s a crude and not entirely satisfactory system but it enjoys considerable support. In the European Union plans evolve differently and less democratically.

A typical example of euro decision making was the formulation of the ‘'Lisbon Strategy''

This plan was decided upon by the European Union Council ,meeting in private in march 2000 in Lisbon.EU heads of state decided that Europe should have ‘'the most dynamic knowledge -based economy in the world'' by 2010.To achieve this EU will spend billions of euro's on research and development and encouraging high-tech industries .By February 2005it had been decide to spend 3% of EU GDP on this plan This may well be sound policy, but it would be interesting to know which lobbying organizations on behalf of which business lobbied these decision- makers and who receive this grants. .It also be interesting to know how prominently this expensive programme featured in the election literature of these who took the decision.

It means huge hand-out for certain institutions and industries and an increase in employment in certain areas as a result. Should not other areas of human activity have a share of this funding and push for development? Renewable energy, energy conservation, low cost housing, healthcare, the arts sports and leisure might produce more benefits for society as a whole, yet the decision was taken over the heads of euro-citizens. The democratic input was approximately nil.

Better forms of democracy are common .within the EU system the best democracies are those run by the individual governments or local council. These are better democracies because they derive power directly from their people .have best local knowledge, are best motivated and are directly accountable to their people.

Even after the Treaty reforms, Maduro notes that the problems of ‘democratic deficit' are as pregnant now as they were ten, twenty or even fifty years ago. Ward goes further by noting that the institutions of the EU are ‘devoid of democratic mandate'. Substantial reform is required to correct this democratic imbalance. Calls have been made to expand the notion of EU citizenship in order to address this as the active EU citizen is able to award these institutions with democratic legitimacy. It is evident that role of the individual in legitimizing such institutions cannot be ignored for much longer along with the need for the Parliament to be awarded with powers of veto and control over other the Council and the Commission.

Resident-led commissions

We want to put you at the heart of decision making in Hammersmith & Fulham. And that is why we have launched nine resident-led commissions to help develop our policies for the borough.

Over the past three years, more than 70 local residents have helped shape the ways we work across the council.

“Our commissions put people at the heart of decision-making and policy in the borough,” said Cllr Stephen Cowan, Leader of Hammersmith & Fulham Council.

“People who live here, and deal with these issues on a day to day basis, are best placed to tell us what problems need sorting out, and how we can best go about doing that,” he added.

Commissions that have completed their work and reported to the council

  • Poverty and Worklessness Commission

    Chair of the commission Christina Smyth

    Pockets of poverty and unemployment persist in this largely wealthy borough. So the aim of this commission was to establish why this is the case, and to find ways of tackling the problem.

    Led by Christina Smyth, it met and spoke with people living in poverty in Hammersmith & Fulham, and reported to the council in March 2017.

    For more details email Tom Conniffe

  • Business Commission

    Co-chair of the commission Greg Jackson

    Co-chair of the commission Sophie Devonshire

    The Business Commission was led by two successful business people and worked with traders large and small in Hammersmith & Fulham to discover what more the council could do to help them thrive.

    Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy, and Sophie Devonshire, CEO of The Caffeine Partnership, head up a team of business experts who began their work last year. Their report, Upstream, was published in March 2017.

  • Commission on Airport Expansion

    The commission was led by former civil servant Christina Smyth and made up of local residents with a good knowledge of the area and who could assess the impact of any expansion.

    Chair of the commission Christina Smyth

    The eight-strong commission found a third runway would have a negative impact on the borough.

    Chair Christina Smyth, said: “We found that the overall impact of a third runway would be adverse. The risk is that the residents of H&F will pay a heavy price for benefits which are largely elsewhere.”

    The commission ran from November 2014 to April 2015 and received more than 100 responses from residents and community groups.

    It shaped H&F’s evidence to the Government’s Airports Commission led by Sir Howard Davies.

    The report and H&F Council’s submission to the government can be found on our Heathrow expansion web page.

  • Residents’ Commission on Council Housing

    This commission was created to safeguard the future of council housing in the borough.

    Chair of the commission Rt Hon Keith Hill

    The aims were to find ways to protect our council homes and estates for the future, give residents greater control, protect tenants’ rights and keep rents/charges affordable, and to fund improvements.

    Rt Hon Keith Hill, the former housing minister who chaired the commission, said: “The greatest tribute must go to our resident members – tenants and leaseholders from the borough – all volunteers, who devoted a vast amount of their time to it.”

    The commission recommended the council shift ownership of our council homes to a community gateway housing association.

    The commission’s members were: Right Hon Keith Hill (chair), Peter Bevington, Shirley Cupit, Joanne Drew, Paul Ekudo, John Ghazi Quick, Mathias Kulubya, Anthony Mason, Andy Robson, Sofia Saraiva, Kim Shearer, Anthony Wood and Lorna Wynter.

    It was launched in January 2016 and was made up of six residents.

    “We’re looking to be the greenest borough in London and that requires determined and energetic work on behalf of the council, the GLA, the government and residents,” said Rosemary Pettit, chair of the commission.

    “We hope we were able to communicate that sense of enterprise and energy we bring to the whole process of getting cleaner air for everyone.”

    Most of its recommendations have already been put into action.

Ecosystem Benefits of Net-Spinning Caddisflies

If you’ve done a leaf pack experiment, you know that caddisflies, along with mayflies and stoneflies, are sometimes referred to as the “canaries of the stream” because they are so sensitive to pollution. The presence of these macroinvertebrates generally indicates good water quality.

Net-spinning caddisflies build nets to trap their food. But did you know that these nets also hold rocks together in streams?

Learn about the ecosystem benefits of net-spinning caddisflies, as well as how they interact with their environment, in this video from Stroud Water Research Center. Caddisflies are abundant in White Clay Creek, the Exceptional Value Stream that runs behind the Stroud Center.

Sometimes You're Just Glad You Saw the Bird

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug
Cerulean Warbler
A friend of mine found a Cerulean Warbler at Lake Lotus Park this morning.  I was there an hour later for an early lunch break, along with a small group of other birders. Over the next 45 minutes or so, we each had a chance to get pretty good looks at it, though it was not very willing to pose for photos.  I was able to get a few shots that were good enough for an ID, but no quality photographs that I found satisfying.  Well, sometimes it's just good to see the bird.  Here's my lousy photos, but they're good enough for an ID, and it's a life bird for me, so I'm happy.

Looking for a Job

Tips on Finding Employment or Additional Employment

  1. Spruce Up Your Resume

    There are many online websites with examples or templates to use for cataloging your skills and experience and advice in writing a cover letter (see number 4). Keep copies of your resume with you at all times in case you happen upon an employment opening. You can either submit your resume or complete the application using the information from the resume. Check out the sites listed in number 4 for tips in preparing for, and attending, the interview.
  2. Keep an Open Mind

    Don't restrict your job search to positions that fall within your field of education or experience. Your overall skill set gained from life experience opens up numerous job options that you may not have career experience or training in, but that you "can" do. For instance, if you are can juggle job, kids, laundry and keep house, all with a smile, you may do well in customer service, sales, reception work, or more.
  3. Maintain a Tracking Sheet

    Maintain a tracking sheet of all the employment applications/resume's sent out. View the Employment Search Record (PDF) example with: date of application, form of application (email, website, in-person, mail, etc.), name of manager or person that received application. If the application is submitted in-person, ask about the time frame for interview and hire. Be respectful of the employer's time and ask if you may call to follow up on the status of filling the position, and if so, take down the name, number and best time to call. If the application is not filed in-person, consider following up either by phone or email. Always note the results of the follow up contact on the tracking sheet to cross off positions filled, or make note of those still open to pursue additional follow up on the status of your application.
  4. Job Search Web Sites

    • Search the web every day. Leave the "keyword" entry blank rather than searching for positions that fit to your employment experience. Instead, search by zip code and the mileage distance you can travel from that zip code for any employment (Advance Transit runs throughout the Upper Valley). Hundreds of matches will appear. Simply scroll down and browse the job titles to identify any positions that would include duties you "can" perform, or that match your education, skill set, or work/life experience. Apply, apply, apply for anything and everything. Use the tracking sheet for all applications submitted and any follow up.
    • Employment positions are added to websites every day. Most sites allow a search to identify only those positions posted within a certain number of days/weeks. If you keep track of the last time you visited the site on the tracking sheet (whether you found anything or not), simply search for only those positions added since the date you last accessed the site.
  5. Employment Agencies

    Submit your resume or visit an employment agency to assess your qualifications and identify any openings that may fit what you “can” do. Temporary income is better than no income and sometimes a temporary position can lead to a permanent position.
  6. Other Considerations

    • Ask friends and family to help you search for employment by letting you know about any openings they learn of at their employment or anything they hear about through friends.
    • Visit the web site employment section of: local businesses (browse the yellow pages for ideas), as well as town/city municipal government offices, hospitals, educational institutions (schools/colleges), etc. Apply or submit a resume or application for a current position via the web, or in-person for current or future consideration.
    • Check the Help Wanted ads in the daily paper (available at the Library free) and look for “Help Wanted” signs at businesses and on bulletin boards. Attend Job Fairs. These are advertised in the newspaper, on the radio, and on the New Hampshire Employment Security webpage.
    • For those 55 or older and within the federal low-income guidelines, contact National Able Network at 800-652-8808, or Lori Graff at 603-836-0912. The Network provides individual job placement assistance, job-readiness workshops, resume writing, interviewing skills, career counseling and planning, basic and vocational skills instruction, etc.

LEC to celebrate 50th Jumper Prix de Villes of North America

For 50 years, the annual Jumper Prix de Villes of North America (or ‘Prize of the Cities’) has attracted superb equestrians to Lake Erie College. Spectators, dignitaries and riders will soon converge upon the George M. Humphrey Equestrian Center yet again to celebrate this event.

In the format originally established by renowned horseman Laddie Andahazy in 1968, this year’s three-day weekend Jumper Prix will take place Friday, April 13 through Sunday, April 15. The events will be judged by Annabelle Francia-Kiss, an “R” judge from New York, with Course Designer Debbie Proulx of Michigan.

On Friday, April 13, Individual Hunter Classes will ride beginning at 12 p.m., with Individual Jumper Classes to follow at 3 p.m. At 6 p.m., officials will hold the Prix’s Draw for the Order of Go during a second complimentary Exhibitor’s Party sponsored by Centerra at the Victor Manor House.

The second day, April 14, Individual Hunter Classes will begin at 8 a.m. The Chagrin Saddlery Junior Amateur Hunter Derby and Schneiders Saddlery Open Performance Hunter Derby will commence at 1 p.m. After that, Individual Jumper Stakes Classes will compete.

Activities will begin at 9 a.m. on the final day, Sunday, April 15. The Parade of Teams will lead off the 50th Anniversary Jumper Prix consisting of two rounds of competition for Emerging, High and Low Jumpers.

Weekend festivities will conclude with an Awards Ceremony to honor winners of individual and team competitions as well as the 2018 recipients of the Veronica Holt Memorial Youth Rider Award for an outstanding youth dressage rider and the Charles E. Kinney Jr. Memorial Jumper Style Award for best classical jumper style.

“We’re incredibly proud to be presenting the 50th anniversary of our signature horse show, the Jumper Prix de Villes of North America,” said Dr. Pamela Hess, dean of the School of Equine Studies. “In a Nations Cup format, the Jumper Prix de Villes still attracts the best horses and riders to compete from Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. We invite you to come join us at the Prix!”

The Jumper Prix de Villes is recognized by the Ohio Professional Horseman’s Association. Similarly, the Dressage Prix de Villes is United States Equestrian Federation and United States Dressage Federation recognized.

The more compact Dressage Prix de Villes, judged by Cindy Canace – an “S” judge from New Jersey – will precede the Jumper Prix on Saturday, April 7 and Sunday, April 8. On opening day, Dressage team and individual rides will take place beginning at 8 a.m. The day will conclude with a complimentary Exhibitor’s Party sponsored by Centerra Country Stores at the Victor Manor House from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Teams and individuals will begin riding again at 8 a.m. on the following day, Sunday, April 8. An Awards Ceremony will follow the final class.

Lake Erie College maintains three intercollegiate equestrian teams, including IHSA Hunt Seat, IHSA Western and IDA, and a robust equine studies program containing four majors: equine entrepreneurship, equestrian facility management, equestrian teacher/trainer – English and equine therapeutic horsemanship.

The upcoming Dressage Derby of Ohio I and II will take place June 23 and 24, 208 at Lake Erie College. Judges Sue Kolstad “S” of Kentucky and Johanna Gwinn “S” of Pennsylvania will preside. For a complete list of College equestrian events, please visit lec.edu/equine-events.

We wish all riders good luck at our fast approaching shows. Members of the public are invited to attend as spectators at no charge. A concession stand will be open throughout the day.

Society of Legal Scholars

Small Projects and Events Fund

This fund (under its initial name of the SLS Legal Scholarship Fund) was established in 2014 to support projects or activities by members which fall within the charitable objects of the Society (“the advancement of legal education”) but outside the terms of the SLS Research Activities Fund (which provide for awards “for the purpose of assisting [the applicant] in their research including speaking at a conference…”) or of the SLS Annual Seminar Series (which provide funding for a major annual symposium). Subject to those limitations (and to appropriate funds continuing to be available), the projects or activities include those relating either to teaching or to research, or to both (including the organisation of pedagogical or research events).

The fund is not designed to support essentially individual research projects or activities, for which the most appropriate route is the Research Activities Fund. The annual limit of the fund (i.e. the total set aside annually to cover all awards) is currently £20,000 and this will be reviewed annually.

Applications for an award from the fund may be made by any Ordinary Member of the Society in good standing (i.e. fully paid-up) as at the 1st of October prior to the date of the application. The two deadlines for applications are 1st May and 1st November.

Applications should be by email, addressed to the Honorary Secretary, and set out:

  • the purpose for which an award is sought and how this will advance legal education
  • the timescale and location envisaged for the activity in question
  • the proposed budget including itemised costs and any potential income
  •  whether (and if so which) other sources of financial support are being sought

Applications will be adjudicated upon by the President, Vice-President, Honorary Secretary, Honorary Treasurer and Chair of the Legal Education Sub-Committee (or a member of that committee nominated by the Chair), who may seek advice as appropriate from other members of the Society.

The panel will consider the quality and significance of the proposed event or project in advancing the interests of legal education. The panel will also take into account the extent to which applications:

  • involve a number of individuals, including either an open call for papers or the ability of a number of members of the Society to attend the event (closed events, limited to speakers only, are unlikely to be funded)
  • adopt an inclusive approach, in terms of taking into account equality and diversity considerations with regard to speakers and participants
  • will confer benefits to the broader legal education community, as opposed to within one or a small number of institutions

The maximum amount that may be awarded in relation to a particular project, event or activity is £5,000.  Funds must be spent within 12 months of notification of a successful application.  Claims cannot be made for time spent in organising or preparing of a particular project, event or activity. We would also expect that PhD students should be able to attend the project, event or activity and that they should pay no attendance fee other than catering / refreshment costs.

Where an award is made, the successful applicant must make a brief report by email to the Honorary Secretary not more than 18 months after the receipt  of the award, to be published in the SLS Reporter and on the Society’s website here

Musikfest artist: Donovan Roberts brings blues, folk to the 'Fest

Donovan Roberts will play July 31 at Musikfest's Leiderplatz.
When Jeff Roberts and Lori Donovan first came together to play their brand of soft, jazz-inflected blues, they both were looking for something new.

Roberts had been working as a touring blues guitarist for Lonnie Shields and playing lead in a few Pennsylvania-based bands; Donovan had been working as an executive for a music festival and singing in a local blues band.

When they joined forces, they decided to get back to basics, and stripped down their sound to just guitar and voice.

They have grown a bit since then, and released their debut album, "Are You Alone," which features a full band, in July 2008. Donovan Roberts also was honored as a semi-finalist in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn., in 2008 and 2009.

Although they typically perform as a duo, they will be bringing along the band to this year's Musikfest.

Members' roles:
Lori Donovan -- vocals
Jeff Roberts -- guitar, vocals

Genre: Blues, folk, jazz

Web, and

At Musikfest:7:30 p.m. July 31 at Leiderplatz

The Coleman Report’s Memo to Wells Fargo

Charles Green’s memo to Wells Fargo via the Coleman Report couldn’t be more spot on. Wells Fargo’s announcement earlier this month to make $100 billion (that’s billion with a ‘b’) available to business owners through small business loans over the next five years is big news. Green offers some advice that Wells Fargo, or any traditional small business lender, should take to heart. In fact, I thought his advice to Wells Fargo is relevant enough to share here.

The ‘Do’s:’

  1. Do focus a proportionate amount of attention on the companies with annual revenues less than $300,000, which is about 89% of the 28 million businesses in America. Everybody’s gunning for the larger deals, but how about setting aside some of your capital for the little guys?
  2. Do buy one of those online innovative lenders, so you can scale loans a broader list of these smaller enterprises profitably with your cheaper capital, and pass out some cheaper funding to these companies who are currently charged too much.

The ‘Don’ts:’

  1. Don’t let this ambition be empty PR rhetoric by counting up loans you would have made anyway, like those less than $100,000 on your call report that may or may not actually be made to a ‘small’ business.
  2. Don’t forget SBA loans, and while there, ramp down to include thousands more of those loans less than $150,000. There’s not a service fee, so you’ll already be 52 bps ahead in revenues!

This is great advice and I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Green. It’s one thing to talk the talk, now it’s time to really walk the walk.

It takes a little cash to change the world.

So what are you waiting for?

Should you Take Out a Loan to Hire an Employee?

Note: This is a guest post from Adam Hoeksema, Co-Founder of ProjectionHub. ProjectionHub is a web-based tool that helps small business owners create financial projections without the need to have a PhD in spreadsheet modeling.

Should you Take Out a Loan to Hire an Employee?

image via maniacworld.com

Hiring even just one employee is a major investment for a small business. Because of that, many business owners delay hiring far too long to the point that it hurts the success of their business, while other entrepreneurs hire way too soon.

In order to make a financially sound hiring decision you need to run some numbers to determine what it would take for the new hire to provide a positive return on investment for the company. There are at least 3 ways to quantify the return on investment for a new hire that will ultimately help you determine whether or not you should take out a loan to hire an employee.

1. Hire a Salesperson

Maybe you want to hire a salesperson, but in order to find a quality salesperson you need to provide a base salary and benefits to go along with sales commissions. Typically it will take some time for the sales person to start generating new sales, so you will have thousands of dollars in payroll expenses before you ever see the first dollar in new sales. This can be a great scenario for a small loan, but you will need to run some numbers to make sure you borrow enough to give your salesperson enough time to start paying for themselves with new sales. Here is an example of what that analysis might look like:

Should you Take Out a Loan to Hire an Employee?

So let’s assume you offer a $20,000 base salary, and you will spend an additional $10,000 on taxes and benefits per year.

Your monthly cost would be $2,500.

Then assuming a 15% sales commission you can see what your investment looks like for the first 12 months. We are assuming it will take a couple months before they make the first sale, so you will need to pay the entire $2,500 monthly expense out of your loan proceeds.

Then as sales kick in month 3 you can see how the new sales start to chip away at the cost of the employee.

In this model the salesperson breaks even in month 9 and starts to contribute back to the company.

Of course every company will be different, but you can see that in this particular situation you will need to borrow just over $11,000 in order to cover the new hire expenses.

In many cases this is an excellent investment because by year 2 a successful salesperson will cover all of their expenses, have repaid the initial loan, and continue to add sales to grow the company.

If you crunch the numbers and it will take 3 years for the employee to breakeven, then it is probably a bad investment.

2. Hire to Free Up Your Own Time for Sales

You might also hire in order to free up your time so that you can focus on sales. The model on this would look slightly different. You might want to estimate a dollar amount you can generate in sales for each hour your focus on sales. Once you have that number, the rest is easy.

If you can generate $50 per hour in gross profit, then you should hire someone else to do everything you currently do that costs less than $50 per hour. For example, you might do the bookkeeping, but you could hire someone else to do the bookkeeping for $20 an hour. This is an obvious decision. You are immediately more profitable when you exchange $50 in gross profit for $20 in bookkeeping expenses.

Of course, you may need to take out a small loan in this type of situation because there is training involved when you hire a new employee. You might need to continue to spend time training and helping with the accounting which would take away from your sales. If the new employee is a quick learner, a very small loan should take care of your shortfall until the new employee starts to pay off.

3. Hire in House Accounting, Legal, Sales, Marketing, etc.

The last situation where you might need to consider taking out a loan in order to hire a new person is bringing in house an activity that you outsourced in the past. For example, large companies have in-house counsel, in-house accountants, an in-house marketing team, etc. Eventually you will hit a point where it is more cost effective for you to hire an employee to do a job rather than outsourcing the job to another company.

Again, this is an easy model to figure out. Are you paying your marketing firm $50,000 per year to work on your business 10 hours per week? If so, you could bring in an expert marketer on staff for $50,000 per year who will work 40 hours per week.

In this type of situation you may save money right off the bat, and have no need for a loan to fund the transition.

There are ways to finance the hiring of new employees. Don’t wait so long that you hinder the growth of your business, but make sure to actually look at the numbers. Understand exactly when the new employee will begin to provide a return on your investment? This will help you determine right loan amount to request, and will set your company up for future growth.

It takes a little cash to change the world.

So what are you waiting for?

In Camera - Francis Bacon: Photography, Film and the Practice of Painting
by Martin Harrison
Publisher's Description
‘An indispensable work of reference for anyone wishing to follow the protracted dialogue that Bacon conducted with photography – and through photography with the art of the past, his own work and real life’ – The Art Newspaper

‘… a revelation’ – The Daily Telegraph

‘Scrupulous and well-balanced … crammed with information and illuminating (and always acknowledged) speculation … essential reading’ – The Literary Review

Francis Bacon famously found inspiration in photographs, film-stills and mass-media imagery. In Camera, a bravura accomplishment of original research, reveals how these new media informed some of Bacon’s most important paintings and triggered decisive turning-points in his stylistic development.

Martin Harrison, who was granted unparalleled access to unpublished material, provides a new understanding of the creator of one of the most compelling bodies of work in twentieth-century art. Bacon’s painting is considered in the context of key influences – film directors such as Sergei Eisenstein, photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge and masters such as Velázquez and Picasso. His work is also reviewed in the context of his contemporaries, including Freud, Rothko and Sutherland.

Sharp analysis – chronological and thematic – leads to startling insights into this complex, tortured and hugely creative genius and into the unique iconography of his art.

With over 270 superb illustrations, including a broad range of source images and documents, many hitherto unknown, this is a book that addresses important questions about Bacon’s practice and sheds new light on his life and work.

Martin Harrison's previous books include Transition: The London Art Scene in the Fifties and Young Meteors: British Photo-journalism 1957–1965.

Tablets For Offices | iPad Pro| Surface Pro 4

Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Feb 17, 2016 @ 08:02 AM

Tablets are becoming power tools for many businesses.  The challenge is to decide which to support either the Apple series or the Microsoft Surface series.

In the consumer market certainly iPads in their many versions dominate simply because they are easy to use, have tons of apps available and familiar.  The challenge they sometimes present in business however is their compatibility with software packages like ERP systems and others which are largely Microsoft OS based and often the main tool of a business.

Microsoft Windows 8 May Be a Winner For You or Something to Avoid

Posted by Lee Kirkby on Sat, Nov 3, 2012 @ 10:11 AM

As I watch the discussions in the IT community about the relative merits of Windows 8 I can't help but wonder if Microsoft's big gamble will pay off.  Since they have such a dominant position in the desktop OS market on the surface is seems strange that they have introduced a new OS that seems to be more focused on mobile than the desktop.  Opinions vary on whether this was a mistake or good strategy.

Due to the unique nature of climate and soil of Crimea, one of the most valuable varieties of grapes grows around Red Stone, on the small plantation that is only 66 hectares in size, Tamjanika or White Muscat. For more than 60 years the Massandra Winery has used it to produce sweet muscatel liqueur wine White Muscat of Red Stone, known not only in Russia but worldwide.

The history of White Muscat of Red Stone starts in 1944. “Patriarch of the Soviet wine”, one of the most talented winemakers of his time, Alexander Egorov noted that the white muscat growing in this region has a unique taste. He decided not to mix the grapes harvested around Red Stone with other elite Crimean grapes and tried to produce a different sort of wine. In 1944 he succeeded and a masterpiece of classical winemaking was created – White Muscat of Red Stone, a unique wine with captivating bouquet and noble taste.

The production process is not so simple. Grapes must reach a natural sugar content of not less than 29%, and only after that it can be harvested. Between 1991 and 2005, the grapes gained the necessary level of sugar content only 4 times! But the harvest of 2005 is considered to be nearly perfect. The young wine ages for two years in the special oak casks in the cellar of the Massandra Winery.

The number of awards collected by White Muscat of Red Stone in various international tasting exhibitions, proves not only its high quality, but also the global recognition. This dessert wine in its 60 year history has managed to collect 21 gold medal, three “Grand Prix” Cups and one “Super Grand Prix”; two times it was named the best in the world. In 1960 the Massandra Winery produced two hundred liters of wine specially for the British Queen Elizabeth II.

But do not rely only on the review. The best you can do is to come to Crimea, to see the beautiful nature of this peninsula, to swim in the warm sea and to enjoy a glass of White Muscat of Red Stone. Only then you can truly appreciate this wine.

In this Autumn 2017 Budget, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, announced that from April 2018, the national living wage (NLW) -- the minimum wage rate for the over 25s -- would rise from its current rate of 7.50 per hour to 7.83.

The national minimum wage (NMW) rate for 21 to 24-year-olds will also rise 4.7 per cent from 7.05 per hour to 7.38 and the rate for 18 to 20-year-olds will rise 5.4 per cent from 5.60 to 5.90. There will be further rises in the rate paid to 16 to 17 years-olds and apprentices.

These increases will exceed the current rate of inflation, boosting the earnings of the country's lowest-paid workers. It will of course also have the knock on effect of higher wages for more senior employees, as companies seek to maintain the pay differential between these individuals. But what does the NMW / NLW increase mean for the retail sector and its workforce, which employs approximately a quarter of the UK's minimum wage population?

How might the retail sector responded to the wage rise?

The higher wage costs following the increase due in April 2018 will come at a time when UK retailers are also contending with the price of sterling falling and increases in business rates. Prior to the NLW / NMW increase in 2017, the retail sector responded to the increased wage bill and other challenges, by looking for efficiencies within the workforce which may be indicative of the response to expect this year.

First and foremost, there were significant job cuts across the sector according to the Financial Times, nearly 3,700 retail workers were made redundant in the 12 months up to April 2017 (the time of the last NLW / NMW rise). These losses came from, in part, changes in operational practices to streamline workforces. For instance, following a review of store operations, Sainsbury's removed the role of price controller (a person who ensures that prices displayed on supermarket shelves are correct) whereas Tesco removed the position of deputy manager in its smaller stores.

However, job losses also came about from a reduction in store numbers for a number of retailers, as higher labour costs made marginal stores unprofitable and even pushed some problematic retailers into administration (118 retailers folded in 2017, including some large names such as Jaegar and Brantano).

Where redundancies did not take place, retail employers have reviewed other types of compensation offered to employees or altered other practices, as their wage bills have risen. This has included reduced overtime rates and, like many companies, further closures of defined benefit pension plans, as well changes to working hours and shift patterns.

Other changes we can expect

Whilst last year's response to the increase shows that there are challenges for the retail sector to overcome, there will als o be benefits for the industry and the consumer. For example, the direct benefit of a pay bump for the country's lowest paid workers could lead to increased motivation, boosting morale and productivity amongst the retail workforce.

In addition, the increased wage bill is likely to mean that retailers will continue to look at efficiencies through investment in technology to reduce reliance on employees, reduce costs and increase productivity. In -store innovations, such as selfcheckout machines and self-scanning technology will continue to become more prevalent, whereas "display-ready" boxes will reduce the need for manual shelf-stacking. There are stores in China where a customer scans and pays for everything using their mobile phone, with no staff required. Whilst this could point the way to the future, this level of reliance on tech nology is extreme. In our view, increased automation is to be expected but there will always be a need for people to staff many retail stores given the personal skills that cannot be replaced by technology, and which are an important part of the "buying experience" in the retail sector.

A further evolution might be increased diversification in the outsourced retail workforce, such as couriers, cleaners and security staff. Companies may look to engage these individuals on a self-employed contractor basis, where no minimum wage applies, rather than as employees. There has already been a significant shift toward this kind of arrangement amongst certain areas of the workforce (couriers most notably), but recent case law around worker status, which has included Uber and CitySprint, demonstrates that such an approach is not without risk.

NMW / NLW Audits

In conjunction with the April 2018 increases, another challenge for retail sector employers is the enhanced focus on NLW / NMW compliance from HMRC. We have anecdotal evidence that the number of HMRC inspectors has increased from circa 10 to 50 over the past year and the number of HMRC employees working on NLW / NMW audits has increased from circa 100 to 450 in the same period.

Through our own clients' experience, we are also aware that a number of organisations are facing investigations from HMRC to assess compliance in respect of (i) charges to employees for uniforms / locker keys and other incidentals which result in a reduction in salary (ii) deductions for lateness where such deductions may take an employee below NLW / NMW (iii) salary sacrifice what do companies do when an employee who is in a salary sacrifice scheme has their take home pay reduced below NLW / NMW, (iv) how companies define employees' annual hours, and (iv) company processes for increasing wages when an employee reaches a new NLW / NMW age bracket.

All of these issues present potential risks for the retail sector to be alive to.

Whether it is a review of workforce numbers, changes to shift patterns, reductions in supplementary benefits or even the introduction of new technology to increase efficiencies, the steps that retailers have taken and are likely to continue to take as we see future NLW / NMW increases, will have a significant effect on employee populations.

Retail employers must not forget their obligations to employees, whether that is formal redundancy consultations pending site closures or workforce reductions, or informal consultations on changes to terms and conditions or working practices. All give rise to both legal and employee relations considerations. The increased focus on NLW / NMW compliance from HMRC also demonstrates that retailers cannot afford to take risks in this area.

The Mediation Act 2017 (the Act) has commenced as of the 1 January 2018, following which the Law Society of Ireland provided the following guidelines:

Obligations for solicitors

The Act imposes new obligations on solicitors, including a statutory declaration. Under the Act, practising solicitors are required, prior to issuing proceedings on behalf of a client, to do the following:

  1. Advise the client to consider mediation as a means of attempting to resolve the dispute the subject of the proposed proceedings.
  2. Provide the client with information in respect of mediation services, including the names and addresses of persons who provide mediation services.
  3. Provide the client with information about the advantages of resolving the dispute otherwise than by way of the proposed proceedings, and the benefits of mediation.
  4. Advise the client that mediation is voluntary and may not be an appropriate means of resolving the dispute where the safety of the client and/or their children is at risk.
  5. Inform the client of the matters concerning confidentiality and enforceability of mediation settlements as set out in the Act.
  6. Inform the client of the obligation on the solicitor to provide a statutory declaration that the client has been advised of the above and the effect of the non-provision of such declaration.

Statutory declaration

Where a solicitor is acting on behalf of a client who intends to institute proceedings, the originating document by which proceedings are instituted, is to be accompanied by a statutory declaration made by the solicitor evidencing (if it be the case) that the solicitor has performed the obligations imposed on him or her under the Act in relation to the client and the proceedings to which the declaration relates.

If the originating document is not accompanied by such declaration the court concerned shall adjourn the proceedings for such period as it considers reasonable in the circumstances to enable the practising solicitor to comply with the obligation and provide the court with such declaration or, if the solicitor has already complied with the obligation, provide the court with such declaration.

Scope of the Act

The Act shall not apply to arbitration within the meaning of the Arbitration Act 2010, proceedings in the High Court by way of judicial review or of seeking leave to apply for judicial review, and proceedings against the State in respect of alleged infringements of the fundamental rights and freedoms of a person.

The Rules of the Superior Courts are also due to be amended to reflect the Court’s discretion to take into account any unreasonable refusal or failure by a party to the proceedings to consider using mediation, and any unreasonable refusal or failure by a party to the proceedings to attend mediation in accordance with sections 16 and 21 of the Act, when considering awarding costs.

Domain names play an important role in the sales and marketing activity of any organisation, but it’s all too easy to overlook the IP implications of registering and managing online channels. Where then should you begin when developing a domain name management strategy? We set out points to consider when seeking to align domain name registrations with trademark rights.

1. What? To begin, consider what you should register – and start to construct a hierarchy of registrations or potential registrations. Typically, your company name should be on top; followed by your core (and preferably trademark-protected) brand and product/service names; and then your secondary or lesser known brands. As part of this, you should also consider defensive registrations; for example, common misspellings of your company or brand names, or terms/brands/slogans with which you are commonly associated. Finally, one-off registrations (e.g. associated with a new product launch or marketing campaign) will need to be recorded and maintained.

2. Where? Or rather, in the case of domain names, with which registries? These days, it’s quite hard to find available domain names with the popular and wide-reaching .com, which is why the top-level domain was extended in the first place to include a myriad of other possible dotBrand extensions. This gives you as a brand owner a lot more choice, but it also makes it harder to identify which extensions will resonate best with your customer base – and can leave you open to infringement activity. For example, should you choose a geographical-based domain (e.g. .London or, or will this limit your market? Should you opt for one of the new sector-focused extensions (e.g. .shop or .green), or wait to see if they catch on first? And, what about those extensions that you choose not to register – how can you be sure that a third party won’t seek to make a profit from that decision or oversight? Ongoing monitoring will be key to ensuring that you stay on top of any malicious activity as new domains begin to hit the market (Find out about Novagraaf’s web-monitoring service NovaTrack).

3. When? Trademark holders benefit from early registration rights on the launch of a new domain name extension. In the so-called Sunrise period (which lasts at least 30 days), only trademark owners can register domain names that match their brands before the extension in question becomes available to the general public. The only restriction is that the trademark(s) must be registered at the Trademark Clearinghouse, something Novagraaf can arrange for you. For pre-existing extensions, it will be important to check for availability as early as possible in the product launch cycle; particularly, if you wish to keep the domains registered as consistent as possible.

4. How? Domain names are not expensive rights to obtain or maintain; however, the time and cost of pursuing third parties for infringement action can quickly add up, as can the loss in revenue and reputation from allowing such sites to continue trading unchallenged. Consider approaching your domain name portfolio as you would your other IP assets; in particular, by: holding the records in one central location with clear management responsibilities; putting in place clear processes for registration, monitoring and enforcement; and, undertaking regular reviews to ensure that the portfolio as registered and maintained is aligned with your trademark portfolio and wider business activity.

5. Who? Websites have historically been the territory of the marketing team, and there is a lot of sense in keeping things that way. However, any team responsible for domain name registrations needs to have at least a basic understanding of trademark rights as they crossover with domain name law and practice. Consider running training sessions with your marketing team to set out your rules as to trademark use, and to provide them with clear channels of communication should they come up against third-party registrations or other online activity that contravenes those rules.

European developments

Earlier this year the European Commission has published a proposal for a ‘Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications’ (the ePrivacy Regulation). The ePrivacy Regulation will supersede the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and legislation of EU Member States based thereon. The ePrivacy Regulation is lex specialis to the GDPR and will particularise and complement it as regards electronic communications data that qualify as personal data. The Article 29 Working Party (WP29) adopted an Opinion last April on the proposal for ePrivacy Regulation and raised several concerns, such as around WiFi tracking.

After Reading This You Will Never Use Coffee Creamers Again!

///After Reading This You Will Never Use Coffee Creamers Again!

Many people fill up their cup of pure black filtered coffee with a coffee creamer instead of milk or cream because they think it’s healthier. But this belief is totally untrue.

Highly-processed non-dairy coffee creamers are definitely not better for you than natural dairy options; in fact, they are much worse.

Coffee creamers became popular in the 1950s, and originally they just contained sugar and cream.

However, as the years went by and creamer companies tried to save money by creating their product, coffee creamers are less and less likely to actually contain any sort of cream.

Most creamers nowadays contain chemical sweeteners, additives, and other synthetic ingredients instead.

For example, if you look at the ingredients in CoffeeMate’s creamer you will see the following:

Water, corn syrup solids, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or cottonseed oil, and less than 2% of sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), dipotassium phosphate, mono- and diglycerides, sodium aluminosilicate, artificial flavor and carrageenan.

While this list may not mean much to most people, let’s take a look at some of the particularly concerning ingredients:

1. Corn syrup solids

These are a type of sugar that comes from corn syrup that is usually genetically modified. These mostly dextrose sugars are created when cornstarch is bathed in hydrochloric acid.

2. Partially hydrogenated oils

A form of trans fats, one of the worst types of fat you can consume. Trans fatty acids can lead to both heart disease and diabetes. An estimated 30,000 premature deaths in the US are the result of high consumption of trans-fatty acids.

3. Sodium caseinate

This protein is found in milk, and because it doesn’t have any lactose in, Sodium caseinate is often used in non-dairy creamers. The ingredient is used to give the creamer a more “milk-like” texture and look, but this nasty ingredient is also used in paints and plastics, and can cause to health problems, including allergies and neurological conditions.

But can I still drink coffee?

There’s definitely no reason to stop drinking coffee entirely. Filtered black coffee with no additives or sugar can actually be very good for you.

The more reliable evidence is becoming available that supports the health benefits of coffee, with studies revealing that coffee can actually help to prevent health conditions like diabetes, Mellitus, some cancer lines, Parkinsonism, and Alzheimer’s disease.

The caffeine in coffee, while having some negative health associations, also helps proper cognitive functionality.

If you really can’t live without creamer there are alternatives, you can either add some real cream to the mix or make your own organic coffee creamer and sip your hot beverage without worrying!

Organic Coffee Creamer Recipe – Homemade Cinnamon Strudel Coffee Creamer

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Whisk together the milk, cream, maple syrup, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. When the mixture begins to steam remove from the heat and stir in the extracts. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bottle and store in the refrigerator.

This recipe lasts about 10 days and makes two cups.
