Join one of several Strategic Doing networks mapping a future course.
None of us is a stranger to change. We see it in our educational institutions, our healthcare systems, and the many businesses around us. It should be no surprise that ASEE, like other organizations, is facing a significant transition. Our financial challenges are simply a warning sign that we must think and act differently. We need to design an ASEE that provides value to members and those we serve in new and different ways.
You have told us that ASEE operates with a fragmented membership structure that is confusing and difficult to navigate. Our professional staff is fully engaged in trying to manage this complexity. To address and resolve these challenges, the ASEE Board of Directors is moving in a new direction. Traditionally, an organization in our situation would turn to an expensive outside consultant for guidance. We have chosen a different path.
Over the past decade, the Purdue Center for Regional Development (PCRD) has pioneered the development of a new strategy discipline, called Strategic Doing. This approach to strategy is specifically designed for open, loosely connected networks. Using a protocol of simple rules, the methodology forms collaborations quickly and moves them toward measurable outcomes. It is an agile strategy discipline that encourages learning by doing.
Provide platforms to accelerate our collaborations.
PCRD is using Strategic Doing to help universities redesign their undergraduate engineering programs. Partnering with Stanford and VentureWell, PCRD is providing strategic guidance to 37 universities participating in the National Science Foundation-funded Pathways to Innovation initiative.
PCRD is helping the ASEE Board of Directors engage "networks of the willing" among members who want to help design what's next for ASEE. Over the past year, we have spent time familiarizing the ASEE Board and staff with this agile process. From October 2014 to January 2015 we conducted interviews to help us draft an alpha version of a strategic action plan. From February to April we worked on a beta version and obtained membership feedback in May. In June, at our annual meeting, we worked with the membership on the first public version of our strategic action plan.
Strategic Doing is based on principles drawn from agile software development. We develop new versions quickly as we learn what works and make continuous improvements. To facilitate more formal reviews, the board will revise and release the tactics two to three times a year moving forward.
Patience. Transforming an organization as large and complex as ASEE will take time. We will be moving away from top-down thinking to a more inclusive and innovative approach to engaging our members.
Persistence. ASEE has enormous strengths as an organization. Our members are working hard to meet the global challenge of transforming engineering and engineering technology education. We will strengthen ASEE by emphasizing the extraordinary assets of our members and staff.
Participation. Engineering and engineering technology educators improve by encouraging experimentation in the classroom. We need to encourage the same spirit of experimentation within ASEE. No one is quite sure how ASEE will look in five years. We are sure, however, that designing what's next will require continuous experimentation from a growing number of members.
Governing ASEE. We need new internal rules to govern in a more agile way.
Connecting ASEE. We need to make it easier for members to connect and learn from each other.
Innovating ASEE. We need to design how the new ASEE will look. This design will integrate online collaboration with in-person experiences.
Diversity. We need to continue the excellent work we have begun in promoting diversity in the profession.
PK-12. Our work promoting engineering and engineering technology education early in the education experience of children is critical to the long-term health of our profession.
Global Connections. ASEE is the hub of a global network of engineering and engineering technology educators. We need to expand these opportunities.
Transforming Engineering and Engineering Technology Education. Faculty and staff teams are hard at work transforming engineering and engineering technology education across dozens of universities. ASEE can play a vital role supporting, accelerating, and encouraging the dispersion of the work of these teams.
I am looking forward to working with the ASEE Board of Directors, the ASEE staff, and ASEE membership this coming year in helping carry out ASEE's rich tradition and strategically working with you to lead ASEE forward.
"There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still." – Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Joseph J. Rencis is president of ASEE.
It took a decade before dad was OK with his career move. By then, Brooks had come to the United States, earned a master's and a doctor of engineering degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and joined the faculty at Temple University. An associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, he has wide-ranging research interests and a broad portfolio of courses. How broad? Over the past 22 years, Brooks reckons he has taught more than 1,500 students representing 40 majors from 11 colleges. He also developed 14 courses in civil engineering, engineering science, and engineering technology; single-handedly created the graduate curriculum for the master's and Ph.D. programs in transportation engineering; and played a key role in improving the undergraduate civil engineering and construction management technology curricula.
The course that gives Brooks the most satisfaction is The Environment, an introductory science core requirement. "It opened my eyes to what students really want and how I can help them to help society at large," he explains. Students accord Brooks stellar marks for his knowledge and passion for teaching, as did Temple's College of Engineering when it named him Teacher of the Year in 2008. Student Rodolfo Ranjo, for instance, appreciated his ability to break complex concepts into "manageable and digestible pieces." He also praised Brooks's accessibility. "I have an open door policy," says Brooks. An avid walker, he tells students he lives so close to campus that it's no problem if they need help – even on a Saturday night.
Tim Donovan works as an assistant program manager on multiple projects in ASEE's Fellowships and Research Opportunities Department.
It perhaps was inevitable that the Illinois native would end up in Washington, D.C. "I was a poli-sci major at the University of Illinois. I started watching the Daily Show about that time, and it got me interested in politics, and then I started working on campaigns." Tim got a job with Grassroots Campaigning, an organization that those who live in big cities may be familiar with: They are the earnest, freshly scrubbed, and idealistic kids so kindly asking you to sign a petition for this-or-that cause. While at Grassroots, Tim worked for the Democratic National Committee during the 2008 election. He was asked to transfer to Hartford, Connecticut, but "I didn't have a car, and they said I probably wouldn't do so well in Hartford without a car and so they sent me to Philadelphia." This vehicular inadequacy proved fortuitous; while in the Philadelphia office he answered the phone call of a prospective campaign employee whom he would eventually date and, in the summer of 2014, marry.
Outside of work and politics, Tim and his wife, Christine, are avid hikers. With great facility, Tim can name many of the nation's greatest hikes, several of which the couple have enjoyed (or conquered, one might say, depending on the rigor). "For our honeymoon we went to Olympic National Park in Washington, and the Mount Lena trail was amazing. It's a seven-mile hike with 4,200 feet of elevation…but most of that – 3,200 feet – is over the last three miles. It's intense. But we had the lake at the top to ourselves for, like, seven hours." A joy of the capital region is that the benefits of urban living and of vast, deep forests are not far apart. The Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and the mountains of West Virginia are favorite nearby destinations for this political, peak-seeking pair.
Tim says the people are what makes ASEE great for him. "ASEE gave me a chance in 2009 when I needed work, and so many of the people I was temping with got converted to permanent employees, just like me," he says. "Once you find your groove at ASEE, you don't really want to leave." He adds a fun fact: "I think I hold the unofficial record for having sat in the most places: Ten spots on three different floors, and seven of those were in the first year alone." Whether in the office or on the trail (campaign or nature), Tim is on the move.

First, the new federal policy affects withholding for employees. At this point, your company has probably received updated W-4 forms from workers. The IRS released new guidelines for withholding so that employees can come as close to fulfilling income tax obligations as possible. While this doesn't directly impact the business' taxes, it is still an important part of planning.
As a business owner, you may file taxes in a special way depending on your corporate classification. If you own a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC or S-corp., you will have pass-through income taxes. The company's net profits have a parallel income tax rate to your personal rate.
The tax reform creates and eliminates several deductions, including the pass-through rule. Although there is now a 20% deduction for owners with pass-through income, some will not qualify based on their industry and other factors.
While the changes leave much to uncertainty for businesses, you can prepare for next year's taxes using this year's information. Comparing deductions between the two years can help you understand how much more your company could owe the government.
This allows you to figure out the matters which may hurt or help your business in the coming year. In response, you can adjust your tax plan accordingly.

Jacques Maritain Center : Elements of Moral Theology
CHAPTER II. HOPE AND ITS OPPOSITE VICES.
§ 1. Hope.
Why is hope a virtue?
Virtue has already been defined in Aristotle's words, as "that which makes him who has it good, and renders his work good" (Eth. Nic., ii. 5). Therefore, wherever any good act of man is found, some human virtue corresponds thereto. But in all things which are subject to rule and measure, the good depends on their attaining that proper rule; as we call a coat good which neither exceeds nor falls short of the due measure. But we have seen (see page 80) that there is a two-fold measure of human acts, one proximate and homogeneous with those acts, sc., reason; another, supreme and transcendent, sc., God. And on this account every human act which attains to reason or to God is a good act. But the act of hope, of which we are now speaking, attains to God. For the object of the natural passion of hope is future good, difficult of attainment, yet possible to be had. Now, anything is possible for us either through our own selves or through others. But in so far as we hope for anything as possible to us through Divine aid, our hope attains to God, on whose aid it rests. And so it is plain that such hope is a virtue, since it makes a man's act good, attaining to its due rule and measure. (Define this theological virtue, then, as "a habit of soul, Divinely infused, through which with sure confidence we expect to obtain the spiritual good of eternal life by Divine aid.") This hope is not the natural passion (though grounded in that), but a spiritual habit, purely the gift of grace.
What is the proper object of hope?
The apostle answers when he says (Heb. vi. 19) that hope "enters into that which is within the Veil." It attains to God, in resting on His aid for the obtaining of the hoped-for good. Now the effect must be proportioned to its cause. And therefore the good which properly and principally we ought to hope from God, is infinite good, since that is proportioned to the power of Him who aids us. But this good is eternal life, which consists in the fruition of God Himself. For not less is to be hoped from Him than He Himself is, since His goodness by which He communicates blessing to His creatures is not less than His infinite essence. Therefore, the proper and principal object of hope is eternal beatitude.
(1) But how can man hope for what exceeds the desire of his soul? (1 Cor. ii. 9). I answer that man at present cannot perfectly know what beatitude is; but he can apprehend it under the general notion of perfect good, and so he can hope for it; and thus his hope "enters into that which is within the veil."
(2) But prayer interprets hope, and we can lawfully pray for the goods of this present life, both spiritual and temporal goods, and for deliverance from evils, which will not exist in the eternal beatitude. But whatever other good things we ask from God, we are bound to ask with reference to eternal beatitude. And so, besides its principal object, hope may have objects derived from this and dependent on it. In a similar manner we regarded the virtue of faith.
Through love one may hope and desire for another as for himself.
Why is hope a theological virtue?
It is a virtue from its attaining the supreme rule of human actions, which it attains both as that rule is its primal efficient cause, on whose aid it rests; and as that rule is its ultimate final cause, and it expects beatitude in the fruition of that end. Hope's object, then, as virtue, is chiefly God. And in this consists the notion of theological virtue, that it has God for its object. (See page 69.) Hope, therefore, is a theological virtue.
If other good things are expected by it, this is in relation to God as their ultimate end, or from God as their efficient cause.
There are moral virtues also which are based on expectation, on patient waiting, but hope's distinguishing characteristic is its expectation of Divine aid.
God is the object of all the theological virtues, but in different manner.
Love makes man cleave to God for His own sake; hope, as the source of eternal beatitude for us; faith, as the source of truth. In the creed of faith you say: "I look for the life of the world to come," wherein the act of faith is manifested by the act of hope.
If we speak of the order of theological virtues, we must distinguish between the natural order of generation in which the imperfect precedes the perfect, and the (rational) order of perfection.
In the first way faith precedes hope, and hope precedes charity. It is necessary, if one hope for anything, that it be presented to him as possible of attainment. Now the objects of hope are eternal beatitude and Divine aid. And each of these is proposed to us by faith, which makes known that we can reach eternal life, and that Divine aid for this has been prepared on our behalf. "He that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that seek after Him" (Heb. xi. 6). Hope also brings in charity, inasmuch as one who hopes to be rewarded by God is induced to love Him and keep His commandments.
But, in the order of perfection, love is prior. Perfect love, which cleaves to God for His own sake, renders hope more perfect, for we hope most from those who are our friends. This is "spes fermata," in which one hopes from God because He loves and is loved.
The act of hope belongs to the "appetitive" soul, because it is a seeking after the good; but it does not pertain to the sense-appetite, because the object is not sensible good, but Divine good.
Along with this virtue maybe considered the spiritual gift of godly fear (qu. xix.). We may fear that which is evil, or that from which the evil proceeds. In the first way, God cannot be feared. In the second way He can. This evil proceeding from God, evil secundum quid, though good simply, is the evil of punishment, "malum paenae," which is the ground of servile fear, in which one turns to God through fear of His judgments. Or, with filial fear one may dread separation from God through his own fault, "malum culpae," or, again, there may be that worldly fear which the Lord prohibited as evil (S. Matt. x. 28), in which, through love of the world and dread of worldly loss, one departs from the Service of God. It is filial fear which is the gift of the Holy Spirit, like the other spiritual gifts, a certain habitual perfection of the soul, by which it is made prompt to follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost, just as moral virtues render the passions prompt to follow reason.
§ 2. Vices opposed to hope: despair and presumption.
Is despair a sin?
It is a noteworthy remark of Aristotle's (Nic. Eth., vi. 2), that seeking and aversion in the will correspond to affirmation and negation in the intellect. And good and evil in the latter correspond with the true and the false in the former. And, therefore, every motion of desire which is conformed to the truth of the reason is in itself good, and every motion of desire which follows the false is in itself evil and sin. But the true thought of the mind concerning God is that from Him come our salvation and pardon for sinners (Ezek. xviii. 23). And the false opinion is that He denies pardon to the penitent, or that He does not turn sinners to Himself by justifying grace. And as hope which is conformed to correct estimation of God is laudable and virtuous, so the opposite, which is despair based on a false estimation of God, is vicious and a sin.
Every mortal sin whatsoever is some kind of aversion from the infinite Good; but the sins which are opposed to the theological virtues consist, primarily and chiefly, in this aversion, as hatred of God, despair and infidelity, because the theological virtues have God for their direct object and he that deserts God necessarily turns himself to some changeable good. But other sins consist principally in the turning to such good, and, consequently, in aversion from God. For the sensualist does not intend to depart from God, but to enjoy his pleasure; from which follows the aversion from God.
Fear of God is good; yet indirectly evil fruit may proceed from a good root, when one uses the good in a bad way, taking occasion for despair from his servile fear.
Does despair necessarily imply infidelity?
The latter belongs to reason, the former to the will. But reason considers universals, while the will is moved to particular things. Now, one can have a correct estimation of universal principles, while his estimation of particulars is corrupt. His general judgment necessarily proceeds to the desire of some particular thing through the medium of some particular judgment; and hence it is that one may have a right faith in general, while his will fails in the particular thing, his estimation of that particular thing being corrupted by habit or by passion. One may rightly believe in the forgiveness of sins in Holy Church, yet give up to despair; sc., that in his present state there is no hope of pardon for him in particular.
According to their specific character the gravest sins are those which are opposed to the theological virtues.
These have God for their object; those are direct aversion from God. Such sins are infidelity, hatred of God, and despair. In themselves the two former are even graver than the last. For infidelity comes from rejecting the veracity of God; hatred, from a will opposed to the Divine goodness; despair, from the want of hope that one will be a sharer in that goodness. The two former, therefore, are directly against God as He is in Himself; the last, as His goodness is participated by us. But, on our side, despair is more dangerous, because by hope we are recalled from evils, and led to seek for good; but hope being taken away, men rush into unbridled vices and are held back from efforts for good.
Causes of the mortal sin of despair.
We have seen (page 175) that the object of hope is good difficult of attainment, but possible to be obtained through one's own efforts or by another's aid. Hope of beatitude, then, may fail in either of two ways: either that felicity is not regarded as such a good, or it is deemed unattainable. If our affections are corrupted by the love of sensual pleasures, spiritual good things are distasteful, and are not hoped for as difficult goods. So lust (luxuria) produces despair.
But, on the other hand, spiritual sloth ("acedia") casts down the soul so that the difficult good is viewed as unattainable. So this capital sin produces despair.{1}
Presumption: what is its object?
Presumption implies unwarranted, immoderate hope. Now, hope is of what is possible, and that possibility refers either to one's own powers, or to the Divine aid. There are, then, two kinds of presumption: one, by which any one is seeking some good as possible for himself, though it exceed his powers; another, by which any one is seeking some good as possible through the power and mercy of God, when it is not possible -- e.g., he hopes to obtain pardon without repentance, or glory without deserving it. But this kind of presumption is a species of sin against the Holy Ghost, since by it is taken away or despised the aid of the Holy Ghost by which man is recalled from sin.
(1) Does there seem to be greater presumption in trusting to one's own powers than in trusting to Divine power? But the gravest sin is sin against God. Hence, the presumption which inordinately rests on God is graver sin than that which trusts to one's own power. For it is derogating from God when one expects to obtain through His aid what it is unworthy of God to bestow. He sins more gravely who diminishes the holiness of God than he who exalts his own powers.
(2) Is it objected that other sins arise from sin against the Holy Ghost, and that self-confidence, which is rooted in self-love, is the source of many sins rather than presumption respecting God's mercy? And so, that it is the first kind of presumption which is sin against the Holy Ghost.
But inordinate presumption respecting God includes self-love by which one inordinately desires his own good. For what we greatly desire we deem easy of attainment through others' aid, even when that is not possible.
(3) Presumption in Divine mercy is true aversion from God, because it attributes to God what is unworthy of His holy nature.
Briefly, as from despair one despises the Divine mercy on which hope rests, so from presumption one despises the Divine justice which punishes sinners. But both mercy and justice are in God. Therefore, as despair is inordinate aversion from God, so presumption is inordinate turning to Him (which is true aversion from some part of the infinite good. See (3) above).
Is presumption a sin?
What was said with respect to sin is once more to be repeated; so., that every act of will which conforms to falsehood in the intellect is in itself evil and a sin (page 179). But presumption is such an act. For as it is false that God spares not the penitent, or that He does not turn sinners to repentance, so it is false that He grants pardon to those who persevere in sin, and that He glorifies those who cease from good works. On which false estimation presumption is based. Therefore it is a sin, less in its kind, indeed, than despair is, since it is God's "property always to have mercy" and "to forgive sins " rather than to punish them, because of His infinite goodness; for that belongs to His nature, but this to His justice according to our sins.
Note that this presumption is not excess of hope, hoping too much of God; for it is hoping to obtain from God what is unworthy of His holiness, which is even hoping less from Him, because it is detraction from Him.
The source of presumption is the capital sin of pride or vainglory.
Self-presumption, inordinate trust in one's own powers, is manifestly the child of vainglory. And inordinate trust in the power or mercy of God comes from pride, when one thinks himself of so much consequence that God will not punish his sins, or exclude him from glory.
Precepts of hope and fear.
Of the precepts which are found in the Holy Scriptures some belong to the substance of Divine law, and some are preambles to that law. The latter are presupposed, because, if they did not exist, there would be no place found for law (none would be subject to that law for whom it should be promulged). Of this nature are precepts of faith and hope, because by the act of faith the mind of man is led to recognize the authority of the author of the law, and by hope of reward man is led to obedience. But those precepts are of the substance of the law itself, which are given to one already subject to the law, and ready to obey it; they pertain to rectitude of life. But precepts of hope and faith were not set forth as precepts, because, if man did not already believe and hope, the law would be set forth in vain. (Note that faith in God being presupposed, through which the human mind is submitted to God, commandments can be given concerning other things which are to be believed, as is apparent in the New Law of the Gospel. See qu. xvi., omitted above.)
But as the precept of faith was prefixed to the proclamation of the law -- sc., "I am the Lord thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt" (Ex. xx. 2); and "Hear, O Israel, the Lord thy God is one Lord" (Deut. vi. 4) -- so also the precept of hope in the first giving of the law was in the form of promises attached to the second and the fifth commandments. For he that promises rewards to the obedient, by that very thing incites them to hope.
But when the law is once imposed, men are urged to observe its preambles, as in Ps. lxii. 8 "O put your trust in Him alway, ye people; pour out your hearts before Him, for God is our hope."
(1) Nature sufficiently inclines to good proportioned to human nature, but man must be inclined to hope for supernatural good both by promises and by admonitions or precepts. And yet even for that to which natural reason tends, precepts of Divine law are necessary for the sake of greater firmness in them, and because reason is apt to be clouded by sinful concupiscences.
(2) Prohibition of opposite sins must of course be understood whenever the law in any manner incites to hope or faith.
The same things may be said of fear.
But we must remember the distinction between servile fear, the fear of penalties, and filial fear which springs from love. The first giving of the law did not command fear, but it threatened penalties on the violators of law. (See the Second Commandment.) But filial fear and love are preambles to the acts which the law commands. So it was said (Deut. x. 12), "And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of Thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him?" etc. These are the principles common to the whole law. And this injunction to fear suffices to exclude presumption (its opposite vice).
{1} This mortal sin of despair caused by Just or spiritual sloth should be distinguished from what may outwardly resemble it: (a) the scrupulous conscience which is always finding difficulties in the way of salvation that east down the mind, and tend to obscure its hope; (b) what is not infrequent in our age, incipient "melancholia" taking a religious form, and perplexing the family and the priest, who have not detected the approach of insanity.


What is the capital of Tanzania? Wrong! It's Dodoma, a quirky country town right at the geographical centre of the country and with a population of 325,000, compared with almost ten times that number in its predecessor as capital. Dar es Salaam lost the title to this country bumpkin in the mid-1970's after a referendum.
I somehow doubt that the South African government could win such a plebiscite to obtain permission to move our state capital to our geographical centre, Douglas, 107 km west of Kimberley, although, being at the confluence of the Vaal, Orange and Riet rivers, there could be worse suggestions and the Griquas would be delighted. Dodoma, against similar odds, prevailed.
Addis in Dar is a restaurant and it is, not to beat about the suburban bush, superb. An unimposing entrance to what looks like (and obviously once was) a rather unattractive two-storey house, deceives the visitor into low expectations, as does a lack of reception of any kind. Wandering around downstairs amongst the camel portraits, pans and pipes, we wondered whether we had stumbled on a Bedouin's town house but, bravely venturing up the stairs, we uncovered why we had been told that we MUST come here. Out on the huge balcony, perched on upholstered stools with comfortably sloping backs, at Ethiopian Messob tables, were the faithful, and the place has quite a following.
Tanzanians are naturally unassuming and respectful people and this has been taken as step further by Senait Mekonnen, owner of Addis, who has imbued the restaurant, in addition, with traditional Ethiopian hospitality. Honey-wine (a bit like mead) was offered and politely declined. A menu appeared, clear and easy to follow for wot-virgins, and we ordered.
Seemingly moments later the conical lid made from colourful woven straw was removed and the basket-table underneath became a huge serving plate of wall-to-wall injera, a huge pancake made from a slightly fermented mix of water and millet-flour, with various dishes perched on it. There was spicy lamb, chicken flavoured with berbere, cracked lentils, spiced pumpkin, spinach and any number of interesting side-dishes. Never mind the Muppets, Swedish chef, this was Everything-in-a-Basket.
Addis in Dar is capital. In fact as the name suggests, it is almost doubly capital. It's the Tanzanian way of doing things, Ujamaa, the community of family and the backbone of Tanzanian society, combined with the Ethiopian way. It's share and share alike. It's ubuntu in more attractive packaging, a very refreshing way to add significance to a meal (and to get through napkins and shirt-fronts). What's more, the food's delicious. What happier way to prove that an injera to one is an injera to all?
The good news is that Cape Town is to get its own Addis, so next time, we won't have to drive 8000km for dinner.

Focus on the Positives
Filed under: Brian Gotta, Coaching
By Brian Gotta, President of CoachDeck:
When a player makes a mistake, try to find something positive to say. Obviously it doesn't take much effort to say, "Good try!" or "Hey! Almost had it!" or "You'll get 'em next time." But comments like these take so much pressure off of your players. It is simple really. If every mistake leads to a negative reaction from the coach, your players are going to live in fear of the next opportunity. And if players are only focused on the fear of failure, do you think it is more likely or less likely they'll make the play when they have to? I'd say it is much less likely. On the other hand, if each mistake a player makes is met with encouragement, they are much more apt to perform well the next time they get the chance. A relaxed and confident player will always outperform a scared, insecure player.
One weekend many years ago, I had both a nine year-old and eight year-old son playing in all-star tournaments simultaneously, and I couldn't coach both teams. Since I'd already agreed to coach the nine year-old team by the time the other was picked, it meant that for the first time in his baseball career, the eight year-old was going to have someone other than me for his coach. Though my wife would be at all of his games, I was still nervous and concerned about my not being there. It turns out, in a critical juncture of the first game, he was on the mound and the batter hit a high pop fly right above him. My boy circled under it, but the ball bounced off his mitt for an error. I'm sure he was devastated. But I learned from my wife that his coach yelled from the dugout, "I liked how you called for that ball!" Do you think I had any more concerns about my son playing on a team for that man?

The genesis for crypto (in its modern form) stems from one major place, Crypto Valley, the name for the small town of Zug, Switzerland. For the past three days, I've been with 35 other VCs, programmers, developers, and other experts discussing the land of Toblerone and blockchain. It's been a very enlightening experience, I've learned a lot about the countries laws and regulations, heard stories from other entrepreneurs who have set up businesses and was yelled at for not being a dog.
Aptly named Crypto Explorers, participants from around the world descended for three days. While the majority of people were from the United States, the overwhelming feeling of the group felt very international.
Flying home now the biggest takeaways are that Switzerland makes a great home for blockchain companies. Zug has advocates pushing for greater adoption and easement of regulations and who are passionate about their cause. With three years having passed since the establishment of the Ethereum Foundation, significant maturity in the technology, legal and regulatory landscape has established precedent for the vast new scores of companies making their "home" in the lakeside Canton. Many though, simply have their namesake setup and operate in another part of Europe or overseas. The truth of the matter is that it's very hard to build a large-scale business in Switzerland. High business costs preclude all but those with ample cash reserves to pay salaries, amenities and government taxes and fees.
The biggest barrier to entry is the visa situation caused by a combination of world class living standards, resistance to growth and an extremely limited of applications accepted yearly. In what was mind blowing for all of us, in Zug alone, only 250 new work visas are issued a year for non-EU residents. EU citizens have three months to find work, which can be difficult. Thus, one of the "largest" crypto companies we met during the trip employed a whopping 60 people.
At the end of the day, the two biggest perk of domiciling in Switzerland are reputational and their regulatory system.
First, the idea of what Switzerland embodies closely matches the ethos of blockchain technology. The country is not run by a main central government, but is rather a federation of small states called Cantons. Each canton has the right to draft up legislation to be voted on by the whole population, an exercise that takes place every 3 months. More so, voter participation rates are above 50%; as an American, this level of voter interaction is incredible. We can barely get enough people to go out in the presidential elections, let alone small state ones.
Ultimately I came away with a better understanding of Swiss culture, life and business.
While there were many speakers who held discussions with us over the three days, a few made significant impressions on us. I think there was an agreement between the group that the best speaker was Niklas Nikolajsen, CEO of Bitcoin Suisse. During the hour that he spoke, he told the story of how his company was formed, later evolved and now retains a huge part of the ICO market business. It was a very insightful and interesting history of Crypto Valley and Bitcoin in general.
Anton Golub has a discussion with the group.
Other notable mentions must go to Anton Golub, CEO of Lykke, who had just opened a new co-working space in Zurich and had projected the Bitcoin logo onto the side of the Swiss National Bank.
Founder of Smart Valor, Olga Feldmeier, who is going to be launching a crypto securities exchange at the end of this year, also gave a cool presentation on her upcoming project.
Law Firm MME's bar, where we celebrated the end of the conference.
The main sponsor for the event was Jed Grant and his company Peer Mountain, a decentralized attestation platform (think vouching), which I will review at some point in the near future.
Lastly, I can't forget Jeremy Epstien and his talk on blockchain MarTech (Marketing Tech).
If I can recommend on thing, it's to go right now and sign up for the next trip. Please feel free to mention me as the person who referred you. This is a once in a lifetime crypto event. It's cozy atmosphere and ease in which you can have discussion make it a great place to listen to others, pitch your own idea and get feedback quickly. I will 100% be going again at some point and I hope you do the same as well.
You were an excellent participant, on many levels, and it's great to have you part of the community!
Perhaps add a link for the signups you encouraged?

The Crazy Life of a Writing Mom
My Books & Endorsements
Always More
We all have secrets. Every one of us. "Unless you get hit by a car or have some freak accident… You know how you'll die, you just don't know when." My doctor said there's 99% chance that I'll die from melanoma. Gee…thanks. She should be a motivational speaker. Anyway, cancer is the secret I carry. I glanced around the hair salon. What baggage do those people have?
"This is the hardest thing I've ever been through!" a beauty said, her luscious hair swaying.
My ears instantly perked. My religious friends say that loving gossip—and eavesdropping—is bad, but I guess I'd make a terrible Catholic.
"My favorite restaurant closed." Mrs. Luscious almost whined.
Ummm seriously?!
"I haven't known anyone personally who's gotten COVID," she told the hairdresser in booth two, "but it's been terrible to be quarantined with MY children ALL the time! And my husband and I can't even go out dancing to our favorite place anymore!" She paused to appraise herself in the mirror. "Did you hear the schools got shut down on Friday because so many teachers were sick?"
I wanted to flip out on Mrs. Luscious and tell her what bad things actually are, how I could die soon…how I can't dance ever again because of tumors—how my son died! Or how I'm HAPPY to be quarantined with my children because it means I'm still alive and so are they.
I turned to my daughter and raised a brow.
"Okay," my kid whispered, "I know what you're thinking. But just because we've been through a lot more than she has, we shouldn't judge her. Maybe she REALLY loved that restaurant."
I scoffed. Out of the mouths of babes… My kids are so great. I wanted to be a better person then, really—yet, I couldn't stop imagining Mrs. Luscious in a horror movie. You know the character who's wearing a bikini, screaming and running around because they've never seen a zombie before—and you're trying to get them to calm down and fight, but they're too busy bawling about some dumb thing (like their favorite restaurant). Of course they're the first to die.
"El…lyssia Ma…goog…ma?" Talk about a slaughter. I don't correct people anymore.
"Right here," I said and hobbled back to get my hair trimmed.
I'm embarrassed to say that I judged the hairdresser too. She stood perfect AND darling. She's probably never experienced anything bad. "Your hair is…interesting. It has a different texture in some spots, and the color is totally different too, blonde, red…gray."
"I have cancer," I said in almost a monotone because I've said it so many d*mn times to about a million different strangers. "Huge chunks of it fell out from radiation, and it grew in differently."
My daughter stared at me, practically willing me to be my happy, normal self.
"I'm…so sorry. I would've had no idea," the beautician said.
"It's okay." I smiled at my daughter. "Now it's growing out into a mullet! I told my kids first I got cancer and then I got a mullet—I don't know what's worse."
The woman broke out laughing.
"I lost my eyelashes for a while too! It's funny the things they never tell ya about. I'll admit that was pretty bad!"
"Are you still getting treatments—I mean, are you getting better?" Her hands shook and her eyes glassed as if a memory had overtaken her thoughts.
I instantly knew, that flawless beautician has experienced loss. And it must've been from someone who died from cancer.
"I'm still getting treatments," I said more gently now. "They initially gave me two years to live, and now they're saying I might have more."
The pansy in booth two—Mrs. Luscious—shut her mouth and started listening—she'd make a bad Catholic too.
The hairdresser told me everything then, how her mom died of cancer at a young age, and how her dad is fighting now.
She pulled up the sleeve of her right arm. "Always more," I read the vibrant watercolor tattoo. "What does it mean to you?"
"We all have secrets," she said, mirroring my own thoughts from earlier. "There's 'always more' to everyone's story."
Everyone on that side of the salon quieted down. Then Mrs. Luscious shocked the hell out of me. "My brother died of cancer. We used to get coffee together every morning. I'd go to the restaurant alone for years after he passed. But now…well, it's closed down."
I blinked. The beautician finished my hair, and I went to pay. "You've given me a lot more than a haircut today," I said. "I needed that reminder. There really is…always more."

Today in 1968 the first successful European liver transplant was carried out at Addenbrooke's Hospital, on Trumpington Street, Cambridge, and to mark this groundbreaking event we have created a new display in the Hospital Museum.
When the details of the donor and recipient were discussed by other consultants in the surgical department, there was opposition to the transplant going ahead. But following discussions between Professor Calne and his mentor – American transplant pioneer Professor Francis Moore – they agreed the surgery should proceed. Sir Roy led and Professor Moore, who was visiting Cambridge from his Boston Hospital, assisted.
The recipient recovered from a long and technically demanding operation, but died two months later.
The current British longest surviving liver transplant recipient had his transplant in 1975 in an operation led by Professor Sir Roy Calne.
For nearly 10 years after the first liver transplant at Addenbrooke's, it and Denver USA were the only two centres in the world with regular programmes of clinical liver transplantation. Today there are seven centres in the UK alone.
The intensive care unit (ICU) played a major role in the survival of patients receiving liver transplants. The transplant programme and ICU grew and intertwined here in Cambridge and their close working relationship is a major contributor to the excellent outcomes for patients undergoing organ transplantation.
In 2017, 105 liver transplants and 10 multi-organ transplants (including the liver) were carried out at Addenbrooke's.
This work has been supported by the Heritage Lottery and Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust.
