Tourism madness
Hong Kong has been in a state of numbed shock over the weekend after Commerce and Economic Development Secretary Gregory So forecasted a possible doubling of tourist arrivals to 100 million a year within a decade. The next three years alone, he said, would bring a rise in annual visitors from last year's 54.3 million to 70 million. As an 'open port', he said, the city cannot set a limit on these numbers, even though residents might have to 'wait for the next train' because of overcrowding on the transport system.
A scientifically proven fact for So: you can't get a quart into a pint pot. So's colleague Development Secretary Paul Chan stated what ordinary residents all know by pointing out that tourist spots are already saturated. Chan also conceded that somewhere among all the malls and theme parks, the city might need to find a bit of space for its own people to live in.
Perhaps one solution would be to build a giant warehouse right on the Hong Kong side of the border, with an entrance and exit on the Shenzhen side. After standing in line for 72 hours, the Mainland shoppers would go in, have a large funnel inserted into their mouths, and stand on a conveyor belt that passes through 10 feeding stations on each of 20 levels (15 of them below ground). At each station, the shopper would halt for a few seconds while items are pumped into his or her gullet – first baby milk powder, then handbags, then gold necklaces and Buddha statues, then Aguemar Piglet diamond tourbillion watches, then designer-label golfer's underpants, then skin-whitening cream, then more infant formula, then a box of Lyndhurst Terrace egg tarts, washed down with lashings of Yakult, then more Ralph Lauren golfing underwear, then guaranteed non-fake cordyceps, then (anything I've missed?) several other exciting leading luxury brands of each of the above exclusive goods all over again, before he or she is spat out at the end and rolls down to the high-speed rail terminus to be whizzed back to sunny Wenzhou or wherever. A throughput of 11,000 an hour, 24 hours a day, would handle the 100 million.
To put the figure in perspective, Thailand last year accommodated some 26.7 million tourists, for which it has 198,000 square miles of space, versus Hong Kong's 420 square miles. Even the world's top destination, France (211,000 square miles) has 80-something million tourists a year. Clearly the number '100 million' is sheer insanity; it won't happen because it can't. Local inhabitants will be confiscating tourists' purchases and burning them and smashing the windows of luxury goods stores by the time the number hits 70 million, and lynching would become a daily occurrence by – I would guess – around 85 million.
So why are our officials coming up with this figure (let's assume that Paul Chan blurted out a snatch of inescapable reality because he hadn't received the Line To Take)?
One possible reason is to mollify the 'tourism sector'; this parasite industry crowds out other economic activities to feed landlords, most of whom happen to be the same families that comprise the property cartel. These people hate Chief Executive CY Leung's administration, especially after his recently announced increase in welfare for other people. By publicly espousing a policy designed to further enrich them by pretty much literally crushing the life out of the other 99.9% of us, CY perhaps hopes tycoons will stop whining about him to Beijing.
Another possibility is that officials are genuinely favouring the tycoons and using one of their stalest tactics: exaggerating the bad news so we'll all leap with joy when the truth turns out to be only two-thirds dreadful (ie, just shy of the lynchings-level). A third explanation is that the bureaucrats and the vested interests ultimately controlled by the aforementioned tycoons are trying to justify yet more bloated white-elephant infrastructure projects, or at least a third airport runway. Or a combination of the above.
But there is another possibility, tangled up in all the pro-tycoon official priorities and lame spin-trickery. Even for the bloodsucking tourism industry, there is only limited commercial logic to cramming yet more shoppers into Hong Kong: not only will the city become unlivable for residents, it will be so unpleasant that visitors will go elsewhere. Indeed, vacancies in prime Causeway Bay retail areas suggest we are getting to the limits. The industry itself will choke if it tries to accommodate an additional flood of humanity just to get a few years' more ultra-high rents for a handful of landlords. Perhaps the tycoons know something we don't (say, plans by Beijing to cut taxes on luxury goods in the Mainland in 2017); or perhaps their crazed lust for short-term returns forces them into self-destructiveness (in which case, let the 100 million in now and get it over with). But there can only be one other reason for our officials to be so blinkered, so blind to other ways of doing things, and so incapable of seeing an industry that has become unsustainably ravenous and obese: and that is, they're insane.
The Lowu-to-Sheung Shui MTR yesterday.
20 Responses to Tourism madness
We are already beyond saturation, and well on our way to 'lynch time': this morning I was in a very large supermarket in Causeway Bay and there were so many locusts standing around annoyingly in the aisles, all pushing the largest trolleys they could find, loaded sky high with those vomit-inducing Ferrero chocolates and 3-year old boxes of Kjeldsen's cookies, effectively creating a major traffic jam in the store that made me, sunny and laid-back as I usually am, mumble obscenities under my breath at these people, wishing they would all choke to death on Quality Street toffees, right there and then.
How many of that 100 million are actually tourists and how many are smugglers running milk powder between Sheung Shui & Lowu all day long?
Since a fair proportion of the waste clogging up our landfills must be generated by the tourism industry (discarded wrappings of purchases, uneaten hotel buffet leftovers, etc.), we should make each visitor carry a full bag of rubbish back over the border with them. This would at least relieve our rubbish disposal problem, even if all the other problems remained.
Refusi8ng to build more hotels might also help keep the numbers down; the problem is that this would affect legitimate business visitors, harming our real economy.
Gumshoe says:
One of my favorite Saturday breakfast joints in Yuen Long has closed down this past week, unannounced, to house a new jewelry shop. I'm ready to go skitz.
Beautifully observed Hemmers. I wonder if any of these gov. minister wankers have actually tried taking the Mtr for a week at peak hour…
I was thinking similar yesterday walking through CWB and Wanchai. Just who is benefitting/making all the cash from the millions of locusts who infest us? Certainly not the average young person who cannot dream of even being able to afford a spuriously advertised box in the middle of nowhere. What our politicians miss is the bleeding obvious, that is, the sense of dislocation HK'ers have with their own home, caused mainly by the fact that it is used as a litter tray by countless Mainlanders. This effects everything from the kinds of shops residents can use, to congestion at ALL levels of civic infrastructure and services. Our politicians can bleat all they like about occupy Central, steam be building in other areas, that when it blows, is going to be quite something.
Ex Tax Payer says:
Good stuff today Hemmers, and written with the vitriol we all are feeling , whether ex-pats or gweilos (or just forget race – just say those with sanity)
The idea of HK hosting 100 million tourists per year (of which 90% are from China) is just bloody, fucking, insane madness , and well worth going to jail for lynching the idiots in govt who thought up and promote this imbecility
But there is light at the end of the tunnel… ( and I am being serious, as well as practical):
a)Fact is : the locusts do conveniently congregate in a few places and leave the rest of HK untouched e.g our public gardens, the country parks, and the sort of places normal people go ( normal people don't go to Causeway Bay or Disneyland any longer) . Thus HK Park is delightfully serene and peaceful even at weekends , but DON'T attempt the Peak Tram or Peak Tower
b) The answer is maybe the golden word "factory outlet stores".
There's a European company that has cottoned on to this ( Foxtown or a such-like name ) They build huge malls in out-of- the way places somewhat close to main tourist towns (e.g. there's one in Banbury about 20 miles north of Oxford, and another one north of Milan near the Swiss border) . It's shopping heaven for the locusts – even the shop assistants are Chinese-speaking , and the locusts gladly pass by the dreaming but cold and windy spires of Oxford or the ruins of Rome in exchange for a day – yes a whole day – in glorious Foxtown , with air-con, restaurants and free parking.
So let's take a leaf out of Tom Holland's column today about thinking out of the box. Ask not what is the solution, but make the solution the question.
So the bridge from HK to no-where (the cost of which alone would look after our old people for 20 years ! ) , could be regarded as the bridge to HK's own Foxtown.
All we need is the biggest frigging factory outlet mall in the whole world at our duty-free end of the bridge, with parking only for coaches, and a short cut to Disneyland. And Bingo ! We process our 100 million locusts on the outskirts of HK just as Deng Xiaoping put his export-processing SEZs on the coast.
China has SEZs : we have TPZs ( Tourist Processing Zones)
Then we change the law in HK to impose a 25% duty on luxury watches , handbags, cosmetics etc in the whole of HK except in our TPZs , so all the HK tai tais also have to wing it out to Foxtown in their tycoon-mobiles, thus leaving Central peacefully free of traffic.
Kills two birds with one stone.
(A dutiful HK tai-tai would still rather troll out to Foxtown to save the tax-duty even if she is married to LKS )
Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a mighty throng
Of locusts who all joined to sing
This glorious tax-free song
"All glory be to Great Foxtown
We sing with all our breath
We praise the wondrous TPZ
And shop ourselves to death"
mumphLT says:
Its very simple – Hong Kong is quickly becoming an irritating, dirty phuq hole. Most of the visitors are not tourists at all but they are causing real tourists and business visitors to stay away. When China changes its tax system or some other control on travel – then HK will be left with a bunch of closed down dried sea food and tat shops. Many areas now are indistinguishable as all the shops are selling the same crap.
The Regulator says:
It is Govt policy that Tung Chung's Citygate and Tuen Mun's V-City cater to and are designed for, mainland shoppers
PropertyDeveloper says:
I'm afraid I'm going to relativise and contextualise the prevailing wisdom, as so elegantly expressed by Hetzel and co.
I personally find mainlanders more polite (in terms of glaring, blocking, shouting, shoving, cosmopolitanism, greed, electoral practice, dishonesty, corruption) than HK's very own "indigenous" (foreign absentee) villagers.
It's easy to avoid the hordes by judicious use of time-sharing, local wet markets and/or choice of traditional areas of towns — or if necessary with a big dog and car.
Is it really 100 m visitors or 100 m visits? In any case, if many are only for an hour or two, then at any one time, there should be on average less than n odd million or two.
I'm not trying to be provocative, but… The obvious reason for government ministers' mistakes is their lack of intelligence, emotional intelligence, literacy and numeracy (not in the literal sense, just in all practical terms). They come from 9,000 years of the most highly developed civilisation in the galaxy, but one which frowns on independent thinking, one where the educational system is largely rote learning, where power and, increasingly, foreigner-hating grow out of the barrel of a gun, where blind obedience and total secrecy prevail, where straight-line extrapolation is the very acme of creative brilliance. Hence the 100 million follows on "scientifically" and "objectively".
Cursed dictation software and spellchecker: for Hetzel read Hemlock!
I was thinking of the same thing as ETP with regards to a solution. PD, I have to respectfully disagree in that people's lives are touched in so many (less than good) ways, for example, being shoved in the back by an impatient Mainlander when getting on public transport. The fact we now have to avoid certain areas is a small example.
Scoff Law says:
Yes the government should think laterally.
Why not invest some of those reserves in a Fake Hong Kong (FHK) just up the coast a bit.
GPS 22.677065,114.83523 looks like a good spot.
FHK will be just like Real Hong Kong – a showcase of shoddy construction, poor design, disconnected thinking and frayed edges.
FHK will be a haven for desirable fake brands like Vulgari, Ferrari Roaches and Lousy Vuitton. Our mainland friends will love it coz they can pimp out and pig out at bargain prices.
FHK will be run by our fake politicians and fake public servants who can continue to ignore public interests and collude with monopolists and other sharks to their heart's content.
We can ship all the polluting vehicles to FHK and fit out RHK with expensive inspired infrastructure based on autonomous electric vehicles, electric bicycles and moving walkways or something equally cool and people-friendly.
Constructing FHK will get the tycoon, construction and other leech lobbies off our backs for a bit.
Until they build a bridge.
Dr Doo-me-a-little says:
Greg So may be right in saying that HK is an open port and we cannot stop people from visiting, but if there are already 50 million coming every year, wouldn't that be a golden opportunity for John Tsang to figure out a way to squeeze some tax out of each and every one of them (thus repleting our 'in 20 year they will be gone'-reserves ?
Of course, John Tsang has no imagination of his own, but maybe someone else can come up with some ways: f.e. arrival tax, increased hotel tax, 20% tax on all luxury goods costing more than, let's say, HK$ 10,000- (and that includes cars, of which there are too many), departure tax, tax on non-HK people having babies in our hospitals etc.
It would be quite a earner.
AndAnotherThing says:
Waited for seven trains to pass before being able to board at Admiralty last Friday evening at 6.15. It's been a while since I travelled on the MTR at peak hours but I don't recall it being that bad.
Transport Department really needs to get a grip on the problem of coping with huge numbers of pedestrians. Large-scale weekend pedestrianisation schemes are needed in most of Causeway Bay and pedestrian crossing lights need to be re-timed to allow for more people crossing major roads. The damn barriers that have appeared everywhere are just making matters worse.
A trend that seems to be slipping under the radar is the conversion of formerly tenanted apartments to short-stay tourist places. This has happened in my Wanchai building where I would guess 4-5 out of the 70 or so units have already been converted over the past year. This is pushing out normal tenants but also provides additional tourist accommodation though not exclusively for Mainlanders as I've observed.
I thought my relatively quiet end of Lockhart Road close to Canal Road was great when I moved here four years ago but boy has the neighbourhood gone down the tubes. Tonight I was hemmed in by a convoy of trolley-case wielding Mainlanders stretching 25 metres along the pavement. As for weekends, it's horrific – you have to queue up just to be able to cross Percival Street! The problem is of course that our senior policy makers rarely, if ever, experience this kind of crap.
Hot off the press (SCMP early Tuesday morning):
More shopping centres are needed near the border and along railway lines to cope with an additional tens of millions of tourists expected in the coming years, an industry leader says.
Official estimates show the city may receive 70 million visitors annually in the next three years and 100 million within a decade, mostly from the mainland.
To cope with the influx, the government is working on an automated traveller clearance system …
…In the meantime, the city could set up retail facilities in the proposed locations to divert tourists from major shopping districts, Travel Industry Council chairman Michael Wu Siu-ieng suggested on Monday.
"Based on what these tourists like, more retail spots can be sent up along railway lines or near the border to achieve divergence," Wu said on RTHK.
"When you have other available retail spots for them, they would not flood places such as Mong Kok or Causeway Bay at the same time."
Lantau Island could host some of the facilities, he said.
Seems others have had the same idea and that it might become reality !
If so, welcome Foxtwon to come to HK ( but NIMBY, please )
PS: @ AndAnotherThing – I know exactly how you feel. I live close by.
PPS: @ PD – I have nothing personal against Mainlanders, and indeed they are lovely people, and I spend a lot of time in the Mainland among them. Just that there's a limit as to how many of them, all pulling trolley suitcases, can be accommodated at one time in one place
spud says:
To ETP:
Sadly it is not true that the locusts only visit the shopping districts. I've witnessed with my own eyes at least a dozen tour buses offloading them at a country park. To say it ruined our family morning out is an understatement, NOWHERE is safe anymore!
Agreed that the tourists are ruining significant sections of the territory. (A common theme is the weekends, when normal life grinds to a halt in certain areas.)
But (a) it's pretty much inevitable (b) it's only the most visible sign of our suffocation of Hong Kong, which has much deeper roots and (c) I get the impression that rural NT has always been rather like that, with Kowloon and New Kowloon in an intermediate category, and the current, very real, problems finally reaching the richest and/or most civilised areas of HKI.
Have you tried walking the Dragons Back these days? Makes getting on a train at Admiralty look like a picnic. The tourists are getting everywhere. There are even a few at Cyberport (
PHT says:
AAT – If you are going TST bound from Admiralty, go to the front of the train. I have never had to wait for more than 1 or 2 trains even at 6:30 pm.
Everyone should remember that freedom to move around in your own country is a basic human right.


However, partnerships evolve as your business grows. There are circumstances where it's time to dissolve a partnership, especially before it damages the overall company.
Constantly disagreement – Different perspectives in a partnership offer new ways to look at the same business. However, if you and your partner continuously disagree on the direction of the company, it won't help your business operations.
They do not carry their weight – In the initial contract, you probably designated specific responsibilities to each partner. But as the business grows, you notice your partner won't do their fair share of the work.
You have entirely different styles – Every leader has a specific style they adopt in the workplace. However, some leadership styles are incompatible with one another. It may cause unnecessary tension between you and your partner, possibly other employees.
You notice the red flags, but how do you address ending the partnership without destroying the company's progress? Luckily, there are a few ways where you and your partner can make a clean split.
First, review your partnership contract and see what your options are. In some cases, you already developed an exit strategy in the matter either partner wants to leave. All you need to do is follow the guideline that the contract already lays out.
If your contract did not discuss that possibility, you need to examine Michigan's laws around dissolving a partnership. Afterward, you need to set expectations for the transition process. It's not fair for you to kick your partner to the curb if they acted respectfully throughout their employment.
Consider buying out your partner's shares or adopting a new role for them if you want to continue their presence in the company. It depends on your current business partner and if you're going to maintain a good relationship after the dissolution.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's environment court said on Monday an independent judicial committee would decide in about six weeks whether to allow Vedanta Ltd to reopen its copper smelter, which was shut by the southern state of Tamil Nadu on environmental grounds.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had earlier this month granted Vedanta, the Indian unit of London-listed Vedanta Resources Ltd, conditional access to the smelter for "administrative purposes".
"We are pleased that that the NGT has again reiterated that access to the administrative units of its plant should be given to our employees," the company, Sterlite Copper, said in a statement late on Monday.
"We also welcome today's NGT's decision that findings and recommendations of the committee will be final which will supersede all the orders passed by the Tamil Nadu government so far," Sterlite Copper, which is part of Vedanta, said.
NGT Chairman Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel said the committee, including representatives from Vedanta, Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and the federal environment ministry, will look into the matter afresh.
The committee, to be headed by a retired judge, will have to deliver its verdict within four weeks of formation.
The smelter has an annual production capacity of more than 400,000 tonnes, and the company said last month the closure has impacted 350 companies that buy its products.

What A Guy Wants Essay
Haven't you ever wondered what guys find more attractive in women out of all the beauty trends that women have? Haven't you ever liked someone and wondered how you should look like before you approach them? Well if you follow these pieces of advice, based on random men that were surveyed, then you are guaranteed to attract a man in no time.
Have you ever considered leaving your hair down? Well if you haven't then you might want to start. It has been proven that men find women more attractive when they have their hair down. This is because they believe that it is an easier pull, and it is also easier for them to run their fingers through it in their make-out moment. Guys want to be able to play around with your hair, and wearing your hair down just looks more natural. Have you ever thought about curling your hair a little or adding subtle highlight streaks? Well if you haven't, these looks often attract the majority of men. Men prefer beachy waves as opposed to the regular straight hair and big curls because regular straight hair gets boring and big curls are too exotic. Men believe that beachy waves are not only stylish; but also sporty. "When women have a beachy wave hairstyle then it is perceived that she likes going to the beach, wears bikinis, and therefore has a good toned body," said Gregg one of the guys that was interviewed for this study. This kind of hairstyle also makes the eyes stand out more, which is an attractive feature. "It also adds on to the mystery, which guys like," said Kyle another guy who was interviewed. Guys also prefer subtle highlights as opposed to a one shade color and chunky highlights because of the same reasons. A one shade color can get to be boring and chunky highlights are too extreme and bizarre. Subtle highlights are, once again, stylish and classic....

771 words - 3 pages we realize that Mildred is a reflection of what Guy once was. She hates thinking, she despises talking, and she dislikes anything out of the ordinary. She has friends over only to watch more television. (Bradbury, 93) Clearly Mildred wants stimulation, at any expense. Her brainwashing at the hands of society shows she is a model citizen: immobile, static, compliant, robotic, and most importantly predictable. While Guy may have realized the horror of his thoughtless society, I believe that the only horror Mildred felt was that she had not turned her husband in sooner

This is a guest post by my sister, Becky Kiser. Becky is a long time blogger and creator of Sacred Holidays. I think you will find great value in her perspective when it comes to our current political climate.
It's already heating up and we are just in the primaries. Each year we all get so very riled up. Social media has made it all too easy to have very loud opinions about every single issue. This year, let's all enjoy it instead. How does that sound?
#1: Save most topics for the table. We have become a culture that discusses too many things publicly that belong around a table with trusted friends or family. Before you click post, ask yourself, "Would this be better said to my friend/spouse/parents/roommate?" If the answer is yes, don't post it.
#2: Remember all those that read what you post-- know your entire audience. Not just all those that comment and like and heart all the things you say that are perfectly in line with your bubble's ideologies. Remember the woman who has had an abortion, your cousin who just came out as a homosexual last summer, your high school buddy who is living on welfare, your co-worker who lost a child in the war, and your college buddy who is alive because of the healthcare they now have. You don't know everyone's story. We forget them because they don't often comment or like our things, but they still see them. What do your words say to them?
#3: Will what you are about to post really change anyone's mind? Or another way to say it, is it really necessary to post? All of our words have currency. Save yours for when you really want to make an impact. If you post and re-share 10 times a day about your politician of choice or party point, then you will likely be unfriended by many people this next year.
#4: You should care that you get unfriended. Many might repsond to the previous point, "Well, so what? Let them unfriend me." This attitude shows the condition of your heart, not the ignorance of theirs. Let's get out of our camps. We can accomplish SO MUCH MORE together. Tolerance isn't an allowance of an action that is wrong, but an allowance of many opinions.
#5: It's OK to discuss if you really listen as much as you talk. There is nothing wrong with a healthy conversation (key word: healthy). You can be gracious and kind, yet still firm on the things that matter. Remember that a discussion is just that a back and forth of conversation. It is talking and listening, then listening some more.
#6: Do not start those discussions on someone else's posts. Please, don't hyjack your friends newsfeed by commenting on everything that you disagree with. If you really feel so strongly about what they posted, send them a direct message or better yet, ask them to coffee.
#7: When needed utilize that magic "Unfriend" button, or for those kind hearts out there, you have a lovely button called "Unfollow" which simply removes them from your feed without removing them as a friend. Go and press it as many times as you need, there is not guilt in it.
I hope you enjoy a more peaceful political season!

Be Careful if ROBS Is Your Business Financing Strategy
By Benefits Notes | May 16, 2013
Various promoters have suggested to entrepreneurs that they use the assets in their 401(k) plans or IRAs to finance a new business. These programs are sometimes known by the acronym ROBS, or Rollovers as Business Start-ups. The basic structure involves the entrepreneur's rollover from a prior employer of the amount in his or her qualified plan to an IRA or a 401(k) plan to be established by the new business. The IRA or qualified plan then uses the rollover money to purchase the business, such as a franchise operation. The IRS has cautioned taxpayers that there are many requirements that must be met for this structure to work and also emphasizes that it is risky for business owners to invest all their retirement savings in a start-up business since new businesses fail at a high rate and any failure will result in the loss of both the business and the employee's retirement assets.
A recent tax court opinion highlights the importance of meeting all legal requirements with these arrangements. The tax court decision involved two individuals who formed a corporation and directed their IRAs to use amounts rolled over from a prior employer's plan to purchase 100% of the corporation's newly issued stock. The cash was then used to purchase the assets of a business. The cash in the IRAs was not sufficient to finance the transaction so the company borrowed money from various sources, one of which was a note to the seller, personally guaranteed by the individuals whose IRAs owned the stock of the company. After the transaction was complete, the individuals owned the IRAs and the IRAs owned 100% of the stock of an employer that was now operating a business. The business owed money to the seller of the assets used in the business and the individual IRA owners had personally guaranteed that debt.
The individuals later converted their IRAs from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. The business was sold a few years later and the individuals assumed that the gain on the sale would be tax free when received by the Roth IRAs and tax free when distributed to the individuals who owned the Roth IRAs. (If appropriate holding periods are met, amounts distributed from Roth IRAs are not subject to income tax.)
The IRS challenged the tax treatment, claiming that the personal guarantees by the IRA owners of the note to the seller constituted an indirect loan to the IRA itself. Under the tax code, any extension of credit "directly or indirectly" between an IRA and its owner constitutes what is known as a prohibited transaction. An IRA that engages in a prohibited transaction is treated as having lost its IRA status in the year in which the transaction occurs. The IRS claimed that the IRAs lost their status as tax free IRAs in the year in which the personal guarantees were given and that that status continued for every year in which the personal guarantees remained outstanding. Thus, at the time the business was sold, the IRAs no longer qualified as IRAs and the owners of the IRAs had to recognize the capital gain incurred on the sale.
In addition to having to pay the capital gains taxes, the owners were also hit with penalties for failure to properly report their income. The owners claimed that they relied upon their business advisors regarding the structure of the transaction and the appropriate tax treatment. The IRS noted that the promotional materials from the advisor warned the owners to avoid engaging in prohibited transactions with their IRAs. The tax court noted that the owners did not discuss the personal guarantees with the advisor and in any case the advisor was the promoter of the arrangement so was not an independent advisor upon whose advice the owners could rely to avoid penalties.
ROBS can also be structured using a rollover to the 401(k) plan of the new business. Those arrangements too are subject to the prohibited transaction rules. With 401(k) plans, however, instead of the plan losing its tax exempt status, those responsible for the prohibited transaction are required to pay excise taxes. The amount of the excise tax is 15% of the amount involved for each year or part of a year that a prohibited transaction is not corrected. Ultimately, an uncorrected prohibited transaction can be subject to a 100% excise tax.
Taxpayers wanting to use their qualified plan or IRA assets to fund a new business must be especially careful in arranging financing for that new business. In light of this case, taxpayers may need to avoid personal guarantees of additional funding sources. Taxpayers should work closely with qualified advisors and may find that a different source of financing is ultimately a better choice than a ROBS.

Alumni Spotlight: 1984 Graduate Sets the Stage for Jubilee
By Fordham News on	 May 7, 2014 Inside Fordham, University News
For the weekend of May 30–June 1, hundreds and hundreds of Fordham alumni, friends, and family will converge on Rose Hill for the annual Jubilee reunion. At the forefront of the Class of 1984's gathering will be Sally Benner, who is leading the efforts for fundraising and attendance for her 30th reunion.
"If I can be beneficial to Fordham … that's something that I want to do," says Benner of volunteering for Jubilee. "I don't want to sit on the sidelines."
Alongside her other Class of 1984 volunteers, Sean McCooe and Sue Walsh—with more classmates recently joining to help—Benner has been calling and e-mailing alumni to encourage them to return to the Rose Hill campus for Jubilee weekend: three days packed with dinners, cocktail parties, tours, lectures, class photos, Masses, a picnic, a Yankees game—and the always-popular Jubilee Gala on Saturday night.
She also has been inviting alumni to share their Fordham experience with future Rams by giving back to the University with a gift at the President's Club level, which will help Fordham make a meaningful difference in the lives of current and future students by providing scholarships, financial aid, and general support.
Sally Benner, FCRH '84
"Working on Jubilee on the production side, I understand how much work goes into it," says Benner, who has attended previous reunions. "It's gotten more and more elegant each year." And more and more popular: Jubilee attendance hit an all-time high in 2013 with nearly 2,000 Fordham alumni and family descending on the campus.
Benner has some familiarity with this kind of behind-the-scenes production work.
As a student at Fordham College at Rose Hill, she was a member of Mimes and Mummers, an extracurricular theater group that stages productions in Collins Auditorium. Benner participated in shows all four years, not only acting and singing, but also working off stage.
"I did makeup, sold tickets, but never built sets. I wasn't allowed near a hammer!" she says. "It really [was like]Glee. It's the same group of friendly people, but [with a]heavier course load and minus the parents."
Benner carried on that experience and love for theater long after graduation. In 2004, she founded the Fordham University Mimes and Mummers Alumni Association, serving as its president for the first three years.
The association's first large-scale event, its 150th anniversary celebration gala in 2006, drew approximately 150 alumni representing five decades. "No matter our age, it was the same stage, the same curtains—[that]united us across the years," says Benner. "We knew how to work around the theater; it's a place we were so fond of."
Benner, the executive director of the New York Office of Development and Alumni Relations for Northwestern University, also spearheaded a campaign to raise $25,000 to replace the old manual light board system with a digital one in the Mimes' home in Collins. At the 150th anniversary gala, the Mimes alumni association announced the successful completion of the campaign—which surpassed its goal by 12 percent.
"I knew the goodwill was there, the people would be there. We wanted to leave something behind [for the students]," Benner says. "Whenever we go back for shows, students are working with a good light board, and it's what they should have."
Benner first became interested in theater as a student at Nardin Academy, an all-girls Catholic school in Buffalo, New York, where she currently serves as a member of the board of trustees. She says she was a very shy child and "learned that if I learned to inhabit another character and use another person's words, I couldn't make a mistake. I had a rich imagination and [the theater]was a place of joy for me."
Nardin Academy's theater program collaborated with Canisus High School, the all-boys Jesuit school across the street. "That's how I fell in love with the Jesuit tradition," says Benner, and in part why she decided to attend Fordham. "The Bronx Jesuits welcomed me."
After graduating from Fordham in 1984, Benner continued performing until she "outgrew it," she says, but then found a way to still "use my imagination," as a playwright. She earned a master's degree in dramatic writing from New York University. When her career in higher education took off, "playwriting took the side road, [but]I'm always writing and attending theater. Broadway, off-Broadway, and of course, Mimes every year."
This year, with another trip to the Rose Hill campus fast approaching, Benner is wistful about her student days. "My heart was on Edwards Parade or the cafeteria in McGinley Center," she says. "Fordham was a little utopia for four years."
She'll soon be returning to the green oasis of Edwards Parade for the Jubilee reunion, where she is eager to reunite with her Fordham friends.
"If you realize that you're only going to see each other every five years, it becomes momentous," says Benner. "You can't help but feel like you're 18 years old again when you see each other, and the laughter makes me feel even better."

Call for Papers: Wikipedia Research Track at WikiSym + OpenSym 2013
December 14, 2012 Announcement, OpenSym 2013, Wikimedia, WikiSym 2013Heather Ford
WikiSym, the 9th International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration
OpenSym, the 2013 International Symposium on Open Collaboration
August 5-7, 2013 | Hong Kong, China
ACM In-cooperation with SIGWEB and SIGSOFT. Archived in the ACM Digital Library.
Research paper submission deadline: April 2, 2013 (March 17, 2013).
The 2013 Joint International Symposium on Open Collaboration (WikiSym + OpenSym 2013) is the premier conference on open collaboration research, including wikis and social media, Wikipedia, free, libre, and open source software, open access, open data and open government research. WikiSym is in its 9th year and will be complemented by OpenSym, a new conference on open collaboration research and an adjunct to the successful WikiSym conference series. WikiSym + OpenSym 2013 is the first conference to bring together the different strands of open collaboration research, seeking to create synergies and inspire new research between computer scientists, social scientists, legal scholars, and everyone interested in understanding open collaboration and how it is changing the world. Read more about the conference at wikisym.org/wsos2013.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: WIKIPEDIA RESEARCH TRACK
Topics of interest to the Wikipedia research track include, but are not limited to:
What do particular articles or groups or articles tell us about the norms, governance and architecture of Wikipedia and its impact on media, politics and the social sphere? How is information on Wikipedia being shaped by the materiality of Wikipedia infrastructure?
What is the impact of all/some of Wikipedia's 211 language editions having on achieving the project's goal to represent the "sum of all human knowledge"? Do smaller language editions follow the same development path as larger language editions? Can different representations in different languages tell us anything about cultural, national or regional differences?
What are the gendered dimensions of Wikipedia editing? How are issues around power, knowledge and representation drawn into focus by gender, geography and other gaps and imbalances in Wikipedia editing?
What skills/competencies/connections/world views are required to become an empowered member of the Wikimedia community? What does a Wikipedia literate person look like? How are those skills/competencies/connections/world views obtained and enacted?
Does Wikipedia enact an open source of authoritative knowledge that impacts learning in formal and informal settings? For instance, how do students employ Wikipedia as a covert/overt source in their papers or as a generative site for problem formulation? Or how is Wikipedia being used as a serendipitous experience of knowledge acquisition? What methods can be employed to understand these varied utilizations?
What is the effect of outreach initiatives involving the growing institutionalisation of Wikipedia activities? As galleries, libraries, archives and museums hire Wikipedians-in-residence to digitize, showcase and/or represent their collections, is Wikipedia able to fill some its key knowledge gaps? Or are there unintended effects of this institutionalization of knowledge?
What are the methodological challenges to studying Wikipedia? How are researchers engaging with innovative methodologies to solve some of these problems? How are other researchers using traditional or well-established methods to study Wikipedia?
How are wiki projects other than Wikipedia evolving? What are the benefits to studying other wiki projects and can comparisons and generalisations be made from our observations of these systems?
How does information contained in Wikipedia shape our understanding of broader social, economic, and political practices and processes? What theoretical frameworks in social, economic, legal and other relevant theoretical traditions can be applied to enrich the academic discourse on Wikipedia?
SUBMISSION INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
The following types of submissions are invited:
Long research papers (5 to 10 pages)
Short research papers (1 to 4 pages)
Research posters (1 to 2 pages)
Research presentations (1 to 10 pages)

Tony Hawk reflects on 'Minding the Gap,' skateboarding and abuse
Georgette Braun Staff writer @georgettebraun
Feb 27, 2019 at 4:20 PM Feb 28, 2019 at 3:00 PM
ROCKFORD — Last April, professional skateboarder Tony Hawk — one of the most influential pioneers of the sport — visited with Bing Liu and Keire Johnson in San Diego at a screening of "Minding the Gap."
On Feb. 10 at a screening in Los Angeles, Hawk stopped by to chat with Liu, director of the Oscar-nominated feature documentary that showcased Liu, Johnson and Zack Mulligan skateboarding in and around Rockford for a decade. And last week, Hawk, 50, interviewed Liu on his radio show.
"I'm glad I got to meet a legend," Liu said in a text the week before Sunday's 91st Academy Awards. "My meetings with him were great," said Liu, 30, a Guilford High School graduate who lives in Chicago.
Hawk said in a telephone conversation with the Register Star on Tuesday while traveling to Los Angeles that he was disappointed that "Minding the Gap" didn't win an Oscar. "It was tough competition," Hawk said. "Free Solo," a film about a rock climber, won the category.
But though Hawk called "Minding the Gap" a "great promotional movie" for skateboarding, he said the film's focus was deeper than the sport. "The message of the movie is about trying to break the cycle of abuse, and (Liu) did it with finesse," Hawk said. The movie recounts childhood abuse at home and how that influenced the lives of the three main characters as they grew into adulthood.
In a Feb. 16 guest column Hawk wrote for the Hollywood Reporter, he noted in the film that Liu's camera at one point poignantly "reveals a cracked deck and the words, 'This device cures heartache' defiantly painted across the board.' "
On Monday, a video clip of Liu, Johnson and Mulligan, dressed in tuxedos and riding across a wood-grained floor, was posted to the "Minding the Gap" Facebook page, ending with that same message in a hashtag: "We keep rolling. Thank you everyone who has supported the film on this amazing journey! #Oscars2019 #ThisDeviceCuresHeartache."
So what was the best thing about the Oscars? "Just being all together for a weekend, celebrating the film as a big chosen family and riding around in a shuttle bus (and) putting on music that we all sang and danced to," Liu said in a text.

Domestic Pioneers:
Seeds from Henry George
The intellectual origins of the modern-day community land trust begin in the United States with a home-grown, self-educated political economist named Henry George. He was born in Philadelphia in 1839, went to work as an office boy at 13 years of age, and ran away to sea at the age of 16. He eventually landed in San Francisco, where he found employment at a local newspaper. He worked his way up from printer, to reporter, to editor, eventually becoming the newspaper's owner and a prosperous man.
George was vexed by an intellectual problem that he called the "great enigma." Why is there immense poverty amidst so much wealth, poverty that occurs despite social, economic, and technological progress? Reading widely, he encountered the work of the English political theorist, John Stuart Mill. He was struck by Mill's concept of the "social increment," an economic theory asserting that most of the appreciating value of land is created not by the investment or labor of individual landowners, but by the growth and development of the surrounding society. This insight allowed him to crack the code of the "great enigma."
George saw poverty as resulting from the ownership of land by a small cadre of landowners who are able to capture for themselves the appreciating value of land – i.e., real estate values that are created, as John Stuart Mill had suggested, by the growth and development of society. Landlords, in George's eyes, are little more than parasites feeding off the productivity of others. Whenever there is economic progress – new technologies, higher wages, higher profits – landowners simply raise their rents or the selling price of their real estate holdings. This constitutes, in George's words, "an invisible tax on enterprise," collected by those who contribute nothing themselves to increased productivity. Landlordism is a bane for capital and labor alike.
An obvious remedy for this sorry state of affairs would be for government to nationalize the land. But George was too much of a political realist – and too much an admirer of the Jeffersonian ideal of small-scale landholding – to propose such a radical solution. Instead, he proposed a single tax: Have government tax away the social increment, collecting for the benefit of the public all of the land gains that society itself has created. By George's calculation, this tax on the appreciating value of land would be sufficient to cover all of a government's costs of providing infrastructure, schools, and other public services. This would allow the elimination of all other taxes on profits, wages, and structural improvements. A single tax would do it all.
He laid out his argument for the single tax in Progress and Poverty, published in 1879. His book was a bestseller. It was followed by a steady stream of books and pamphlets in which George repeated and refined the ideas introduced in Progress and Poverty. His published works and public speeches brought George wide fame and a large following, spawning an international "single-tax movement." Single-tax clubs sprang up across the United States and throughout Europe, dedicated to promoting George's ideas.
George's fame was spread abroad not only through the publication and translation of Progress and Poverty and other works, but also by the presence of George himself. He made six trips outside of the United States between 1881 and 1890.
Back in the United States, other followers of Henry George were busily developing experimental communities of their own. These so-called "single-tax colonies" combined community ownership of the land and individual ownership of the structural improvements. The first was established in Fairhope, Alabama in 1894 on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.
Another single-tax colony was established in Arden, Delaware in 1900, outside of Wilmington. The founders drew up plans for a village of artists and artisans, where the land would be held in trust. Residents were granted 99-year ground leases. They could sell their houses but not the land. Upon the resale of a house, the land lease was transferred to the new homeowner. These plans led to the development of a thriving community that still exists, a hundred years later. Its current population is over 500 people.
Another part of George's legacy to the CLT movement is the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. The Institute was established in 1946 by John C. Lincoln, a Cleveland industrialist and investor. He was intrigued by the writings of Henry George, especially George's ideas about land ownership and taxation. Lincoln created the Foundation to support other institutions in the teaching, research, and publication of information about George's work.
In 2005, under the leadership of Roz Greenstein, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy stepped in to provide critical financial and logistical support for the National CLT Conference in Portland, Oregon when the conference's sponsor abruptly withdrew. One year later, Lincoln underwrote the creation of the National CLT Academy and provided continuous funding for curriculum development, training, and research during the six-year span of the Academy's operation.
