Are you properly accounting your 1099K Reporting Income?
Passed in 2008, IRS Public Law 110-289 had a provision 6050W put in place on August 2010, effective since January 1, 2011. Though section 6050W took off the burden of 1099 from the shoulders of cardholders to merchant processers and acquirers, it did not help the merchants as much as it did to the cardholders.
Form 1099K was introduced to handle this change. It may simply be an information return, but this information needs to be handled and accounted for properly. It allows the IRS to gather information about online income of organizations.
Are you properly accounting your 1099K reportable income? This session by expert speaker Brent Meyers would have discussions about the rules around 1099-K and feature tax return information. Though the provision is in place for few years, it is important to assure correct information processing.

Q: Change google map marker icon when clicking button inside infowindow I have multiple markers on the map that I have imported from JSON. Inside the marker infowindow I have a button and when clicking on that, I want to change the marker image. Please check my code below. Marker list and Infowindow is working fine. I just want to do some actions on the button that is inside infowindow.
var workerlist;
var jobprice;
var price;
var map;
var list;
var position;
var image;
var image1;
var marker;

function myMap() {
  var mapProp= {
    center:new google.maps.LatLng(30.7333,76.7794),
    zoom:10,
    disableDefaultUI: true
  };
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),mapProp);

  image = 'images/blue_marker1.png';
  image1 = 'images/pink_marker1.png';

  console.log(workerlist);
  for (var i = 0; i < workerlist.length; i++) {
    list = workerlist[i];
    price = jobprice;
    position = new google.maps.LatLng(list.latitude,list.longitude);
    addMarker(map,list,price,position,marker);
  }

}

function addMarker(map,list,price,position,marker){
  marker = new  google.maps.Marker({
    position: position,
    title: list.name,
    map: map,
    icon: image
  });
  var contentString = '
'+
  '

'+ list.name +
  '

Total cost to hire:
'+
  '

'+
  '
Total Cost: $'+ price.total_amount +'
'+
  '
<button id="shortList" class="btn btn-shortlist" onclick="shortList()">Shortlist for the JOb</button>'+
  '
';

  marker.addListener('click', function() {
    if (typeof infowindow != 'undefined') infowindow.close();
      infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
      content: contentString,
    })
    infowindow.open(map,marker)
    $("#shortList").click(function(){
      image = 'images/pink_marker1.png';
    });
  });

}

function shortList(){
  //  alert('clicked');
  // infowindow.close();
  //marker.setIcon(image1);
}

A: Before you can access the <button id="shortList"> in the DOM with JQuery, it needs to be added to the DOM.  That happens asynchronously when the InfoWindow content is rendered, the domready event on the InfoWindow fires when it is available.
google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, 'domready', function() {
  $("#shortList").click(function() {
    // code here to change the icon
  });
});

related question: How to detect button click in googlemaps infowindow
If you want the icon of the marker to change, you need to call .setIcon on the marker:
  marker.addListener('click', function() {
    if (typeof infowindow != 'undefined') infowindow.close();
    infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
      content: contentString,
    })
    infowindow.open(map, marker)
    var that = this; // save reference to marker to change its icon
    google.maps.event.addListener(infowindow, 'domready', function() {
      $("#shortList").click(function() {
        image = 'http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/micons/orange.png';
        that.setIcon(image);
      });
    });
  });

Coronavirus pandemic 'a long way from over', WHO's Tedros says
GENEVA (Reuters) – Confusion and complacency in addressing COVID-19 means the pandemic is a long way from over, but it can be brought under control in months with proven public health measures, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday.
So far some 780 million vaccines have been administered globally, but measures including wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing must be applied to reverse the trajectory.
"We too want to see societies and economies reopening, and travel and trade resuming," Tedros told a news briefing.
"But right now, intensive care units in many countries are overflowing and people are dying – and it's totally avoidable."
"The COVID19 pandemic is a long way from over. But we have many reasons for optimism. The decline in cases and deaths during the first two months of the year shows that this virus and its variants can be stopped," he added.
Transmission was being driven by "confusion, complacency and inconsistency in public health measures."
India has overtaken Brazil to become the nation with the second highest number of infections worldwide after the United States, as it battles a massive second wave, having given about 105 million vaccine doses among a population of 1.4 billion.
"We are at a critical point in the pandemic now, the trajectory of this pandemic is growing for the 7th week in a row," said the WHO team leader on COVID-19, Maria van Kerkhove.
Noting that there had been a 9% rise in cases last week, the seventh consecutive week of increases, and a 5% rise in deaths, she added: "If you look at the epi (epidemic) curve and the trajectory of the pandemic right now, it is growing exponentially".

This month's topic: "Are you religious, and you don't know it?" In Sapiens, big historian Yuval Noah Harari argues that modernity has seen the rise of natural-law religions (or isms): liberalism, Communism, capitalism... And maybe skepticism? Is Harari right or wrong? Watch this video of Paul Bloom ("There Is Nothing Special About Religion") from 27:43 to 37:20 to prime yourself for the discussion. We'll watch it again at the Peña.
Here are some citations/examples of ideas/traditions and movements/orgs that are "religious" or in a certain sense "religion," but are not supernatural in nature, dogmatic in practice, or based on some idea of unchanging doctrine or unchallenged authority. The latter qualities are commonly associated with the concept of religion and were proposed by several people during the discussion as definitionally important. Yet a broader understanding that sees religion as systems of human norms and values in response to a superhuman order (e.g. in this case, that which is greater than humans, such as nature itself) allows room for Humanism, naturalism and other philosophical ideas to be considered religious if they help provide meaning in people's lives and orient communities around common important values.


The town of Atotonilco, just 20 minutes outside of San Miguel de Allende is mostly known for its church complex, declared UNESCO World Heritage. Called the "Sistine Chapel of Mexico" due to the mural work that adorns it, Sanctuary of Atotonilco is probably the best half-day trip you can make from San Miguel. Since it lies on the main road to Dolores Hidalgo, you can see both sites on the same day, tracing the Mexican independence movement and its religious underpinnings.
If arriving by bus heading to Dolores Hidalgo, you'll be left at the start of the road leading to the sanctuary. You can either walk 20 minutes by foot or hail a passing taxi.
Atotonilco is a small, rural community of just 600 people, lying in a dry, desert grassland, studded with nopal cacti.
The name "Atotonilco" comes from a Nahuatl phrase "in hot water" which refers to the many thermal springs found in the area.
The complex was built in the 18th century by Father Luis Felipe Neri de Alfaro, who, according to tradition, was called upon by a vision of Jesus with a crown of thorns on his head and carrying a cross.
In front of the sanctuary stands a figure of Miguel Hidalgo, the Mexican hero of independence, whom I written about in our visit to Dolores Hidalgo. The image of Virgin of Guadalupe, used by his insurgent army as a banner, was taken from the sanctuary in 1810.
The walls and ceilings of the interior are nearly entirely covered in mural work, sculpture, inscriptions and oil paintings.
Most of the mural work was done by Antonio Martínez de Pocasangre over a period of thirty years with almost no free space left between the many images.
The idea behind the project was to present the biblical stories in a graphical way, to make them accessible to the illiterate indigenous people.
The style of the painting imitates Flemish painting which was known through Belgian prints that the Spanish brought over from Europe.
The ceiling tells the story of Jesus's life and death according to the Gospels.
Without close acquaintance with the New Testament, the stories depicted on the ceiling are often hard to decipher. But nevertheless, the meticulous work and depiction of thousands of small details leaves a strong impression.
A Virgin of Guadalupe banner on the left is a replica of one used by the Miguel Hidalgo army.
After visiting the main church, return back to the entrance and go at the left door. After paying a small fee, you'll enter the Chapel of the Holy Burial.
Built after the main church, the chapel imagery centers on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
Outside of the church, the most popular item of memorabilia sold by vendors are bells. A reminder of the Cry of Dolores, that morning on which Miguel Hidalgo rang the church bell, which marked symbolic beginning of the Mexican independence movement.
As we were making our way back to the main road, I took a last look at the sanctuary. To a secular person like me, faith, like the one driving this astonishing work of religious art is a mystery, almost as big as the myth nurturing it.
Maybe if Padre Hidalgo had not seized that banner of the Virgen de Guadualupe from the Sanctuario and waved it before his ragtag mob of laborers, urging them to resist the tyrannies of the Spanish army, the Virgen would have been your ordinary patron saint. But like Joan of Arc the Virgen took on a whole complex of political meanings to add to the social and religious implications of the original story.
It's clear the Pocasangre was obsessed with the crucifixion and not so much with the other parts of Jesus' life.
Did the Virgin of Guadalupe play any symbolic role after the independence?
Just as the United States has had its civic religion, usually expressed by the president at the ends of speeches, the Virgen in a society divided between indigenous and criollo, between the religions of the Americas and the religion of Europe, between humble and rich has come to promote unity and justice, secular ideals garbed in a religious story and with cultural norms and rewards. In Oaxaca on 12 of December at the Church of the Virgen of Guadalupe, people stood in line for hours to present their infant/toddler sons dressed like Juan Diego. They were responding to a religious belief, yes, but there was also a direct social component.
Thanks Tom for this fascinating introduction into the political symbolism of the Virgin.
I respect your right to whatever religious belief you have, or no belief at all, but I disagree with your implication that faith is based on a myth. Jesus existed historically and various Jewish, Roman and Greek historians contemporary to Jesus all affirm rather than refute this man from Galilee. My acceptance of Christ as savior and Lord is profoundly real and not based on any myth. Thank you.
I don't dispute Jesus being is a historical figure. But whether or not he is a savior and Lord is matter of faith.


Hi! My name's Rachel and I'm from the blog Maybe Matilda, where I love sharing my crochet and sewing projects. I thought I'd branch out a little today and put down my fabric and yarn for a minute to show you a fun Fall recipe . . .
One of my very favorite things about the Thanksgiving season is pumpkin recipes. True story: I once spent 45 minutes driving from one grocery store to the next searching for canned pumpkin because I was dying to make some pumpkin bread--my entire town must have been craving it just as much as I was, so I've tried to keep a little stock of it ever since so I can make pumpkin muffins, cookies, and pancakes on a whim.
But did you know you can actually cook a dinner inside of a pumpkin? It makes for a delicious, flavorful dinner that's so fun to serve during the Fall. It's quick and easy to pull together, and is such a hearty meal for chilly autumn evenings! I got this recipe from a friend of my mother-in-law's, and I expect it's going to become a fall tradition at our house.
Get started by washing off the outside of your pumpkin and cutting off the top. Scoop out the innards, just as if you were going to carve it as a jack-o-lantern. I find that an ice cream scoop or metal measuring cup makes for easy pumpkin gut scooping! Make sure you scrape off all the icky stringy fibers from the pumpkin's inner walls. Melt two tablespoons butter and brush inside pumpkin (I like to just pour it down the inside walls of the pumpkin and swirl it to coat), and sprinkle with some salt. Place the pumpkin in a shallow baking dish.
In a large skillet, saute ground beef/turkey, onion, garlic, and rice in two tablespoons butter until browned. Add remaining ingredients (except cheese) and bring to a boil. Pour this mixture into the pumpkin, and replace the pumpkin's lid.
Bake at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours or until the pumpkin flesh inside is tender. Uncover the pumpkin, add the cheese, and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt. Serve it up, scraping some of the pumpkin pulp out with each serving.
(See? I told you my pumpkin was too big !) It's not the most picturesque, photo-worthy filling, but mmmmm, it sure is tasty! It's so thick and warm and tasty, and feels like the perfect supper to eat before Thanksgiving.
I hope you enjoy! Thanks for inviting me to be a part of the Give Thanks series, and I hope you'll come visit me at Maybe Matilda!
Thanks so much for inviting me over! I'm excited to see more Give Thanks posts!
Fun idea! I think my kids would love this.


FIOH Sierra Leone carried out this programme in 2015. The FIOH Fund contributed £7,138 towards this project located in the Tonkolili, Bombali and Port Loko districts in the north of the country. Most of the funding came from Bread for the World.
The main outbreaks were in West Africa, mainly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
There are five distinct species of Ebola and the survival rate ranges from 25 to 90%. There is no licensed vaccine for Ebola although several are currently being tested.
In May 2014 the Mano River Union countries (Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea) experienced an outbreak of ebola. Between May and October 2014 the disease left over 4000 people dead in this part of West Africa. In Sierra Leone the epidemic spread across the length and breadth of the country.
Since the outbreak the Future In Our Hands – Sierra Leone together with Youth with Focus, Kankalay Youth Development, Sorbeh Nyagah Women's Association and God is God Ministries were part of the national Sensitization Team engaged in Community Education on the Prevention and spread of the Ebola Virus. Our messages focused on the causes, symptoms, preventive measures and required action in the case of infection. Although we were fairly satisfied that most communities were fully aware about the outbreak and the infectious nature of the disease, we realised the need to take the fight to another level as the spread of the disease was not then contained. We realised that the strategy then adopted was mainly focused on providing supportive treatment for infected patients at specially established treatment centres in Kenema and Kailahun; then scaled up to Freetown. Initially the follow-up of contacts was difficult due to mistrust and resistance of the local communities; attributing the infection to witchcraft, failing to take sick patients to hospitals and resisting attempts to collect dead bodies by the authorized burial teams for sanitary burials. These challenges led to a failure to effectively interrupt the chain of infection. The situation was aggravated by the very weak capacity of local health facilities as they were not able to adequately mount a consistent response due to ill preparedness and loss of staff frightened by the high morbidity among their ranks. This utter state of paucity weakened the overall health system even further. Communities were not equipped to isolate suspected cases effectively. This led to an increase in stigma, discrimination and fear. This awareness among FIOH-SL ignited an action to build community capacity to respond to the ebola epidemic by forging stronger partnership and collaboration with state actors and non-state actors.
The death of many health care workers in the country created panic and mistrust in hospitals, with reports that some health care workers were abandoning their posts. Ebola is almost universally fatal. Victims were socially stigmatized and isolation represented an offense and family shame.
Some of those affected by the virus were either abandoned or rejected by their families during hospitalization. In the isolation ward in particular, the most harrowing experience for victims and health workers was the loss of friends and colleagues who died next to them. The reluctance of hospital personnel to treat them and the abandonment by medical staff including the refusal to admit visitors was also difficult to bear for most patients. The grief for family members who did not survive was also very intense. Some of those who survived either tried to escape from their families or immediate neighbourhoods for fear of stigmatization. Those who survived, even though completely healthy, were feared by others. People did not want to come near them or have anything to do with them. Even their children were told not to touch them and wives were told to go back to their home villages and communities. The discrimination extended to family members and friends, who were regularly shunned at market places and other public areas. For the community, the psychological trauma of losing loved ones and witnessing death on a large scale and ebola burial methods were very distressing and traumatic and often caused severe long term mental health consequences for the relatives of the victims.
Prior to the outbreak of the ebola virus in the country, Sierra Leoneans were much concerned about family members' sicknesses, deaths and other social issues. In most cases the families even raised funds to bury their dead with the full participation of community members whether the community was heterogeneous or homogeneous. The community members also provided peer support for those with serious illnesses or for bereaved family members. But with the collapse of this unique practice due to the ebola virus outbreak in the country, there were very serious family divisions and animosities. For instance, family members could not touch their loved ones in the event of sickness or death, while members of the community.
The FIOH Sierra Leone forum saw the need to promote peace among families, in the communities and in the nation as a whole. The forum aimed to provide psychosocial support to survivors, family members and volunteers, including social workers and clinicians. Volunteers, mainly community leaders, social workers and family members, were trained to conduct community sessions/outreach campaigns for the mitigation and reduction of stigma and fear of ebola survivors and their families in the communities.

Financial firms from Citigroup to Lehman are raising money at a breakneck pace, convincing investors that the worst is over. They couldn't be more wrong.
No sooner had the credit crisis been declared the "worst since the Great Depression" than, pffft, it was winding down. Epic poems will be written about the terrible weekend in March when Bear Stearns sort of almost nearly went under but then was actually just sold to another bank. You'll regale your kids with the story of where you were when that hedge fund in London had to close down.
What a relief it's over. The financial sector has raised tens of billions of dollars in new money-some of it literally overnight. A.I.G., Bank of America, Citigroup, Lehman, Merrill, UBS, and dozens of others have held out their hands and been rewarded with cash. That money-raising has been offered up as evidence that the economic tide has turned. It seems almost unnecessary to go through a recession, though it promises to be short and shallow if it happens at all, Wall Street economists assure us.
Somehow it all seems too easy. Something nags. Why did Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke strongly urge banks in mid-May to continue raising capital, arguing that it would help the economy, if everything was okay? The rampant optimism, which has bolstered financial stocks, makes little sense. We are in deep denial. This loose-lending house party won't end with just a vase smashed and a scratch on the dining-room table.
Think the investors who are pouring money into financial institutions know something special? They don't. Since the banks and insurers don't really know the value of their own books, neither do outside investors. These financial institutions are sitting on huge piles of assets for which there is no market. There is still no good outside gauge of prices for many of these holdings, so banks must rely on internal calculations of value. Sure, accountants vet these assessments. But one doesn't have to be a cynic to think that they're guesses. Clearly, these investors aren't acting on carefully calibrated, unique insights. They're guessing, hoping, and praying. Some will be right; some will be wrong. I don't know, you don't know, and they don't know.
These hearty rounds of capital bingeing shouldn't make investors happy. Because of them, the banks' per-share profit will be spread more thinly. That the banks mostly opted to raise money by selling more stock rather than by selling off assets suggests that nobody wants their dodgy loans and mortgage-backed securities.
Everyone who invests in these banking companies knows this. We like to think that professional investors do prodigious amounts of due diligence before they make their moves. In reality, their research largely boils down to a set of simple assumptions: that the economy will recover sooner rather than later, that the brands of the banks are strong, that the price is right, and that regulators won't let financial institutions fail.
They're buying because they see an opportunity. They're buying because their buddies are. And they're buying because people have the money. Many banks first turned to sovereign wealth funds, the equivalent of the rube tourists who think they can win a game of three-card monte in Times Square. Citigroup hit up the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. The government of Singapore invested in UBS. Kuwait and Korea sent billions to Merrill Lynch. Since then, the situation has deteriorated in spite of the insistence by the new management at all three banks that things are turning around.
These investments came too early. In a fashion, it was bad that the sovereign funds were such obvious suckers. That meant that the institutional investors who waited a few extra months and have just bought in can wrap themselves in the illusion that they demonstrated prudence and patience. After all, they weren't the first to the trough-but, by God, they won't be the last.
On a Monday in April, Colonial BancGroup, a tiny Alabama bank, announced a stock offering in the morning and closed the $333 million sale by evening. A hedge fund manager familiar with this market described how these deals work. The brokers call you up on Friday morning and ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement. By Friday afternoon, your lawyers have had enough time to work through it, and you sign it. The investment bank involved in the deal sends you a "book," laying out the company's numbers. You work all weekend and set up a conference call with managers to ask them whatever questions you can think of. The deal is announced on Monday. What about due diligence? "They aren't doing any," the hedge funder says.
As everyone knows, the defining rescue of the credit crisis (so far) happened at light speed. J.P. Morgan's bailout of Bear Stearns took only a weekend. Warren Buffett would later say that doing the deal so quickly "took some guts I didn't want to match." The Street spent the next several weeks dead certain that J.P. Morgan had fleeced the Fed. Jamie Dimon's C.S.I. team spent that time poring over the balance sheet of what it had just bought. In May, Dimon raised his estimate for the costs of the deal from $6 billion to $9 billion as, lo and behold, more bodies than expected were buried at the Bear estate.
We're still at the beginning of this crisis. We haven't had the expected recession yet (and even if we never do, the economy is likely to be slow for a while). The U.S. hasn't been hit with serious job losses or business bankruptcies, even though house prices continue to fall. We've merely had the anticipation of these things, followed by worry that morphed briefly into a flash of panic. As a culture, we've gotten so good at disseminating and assimilating an idea and then moving on, that we can no longer grasp a slow-moving phenomenon like a �housing-market crash.
Sometimes it pays not to follow the money. The sophisticated Warburg Pincus made a boneheaded bet on MBIA. And let us recall the private equity boom that happened last year. Wherever one looked, private equity firms were lecturing us about the superiority of taking companies private and letting them thrive out of the glare of the public markets. They told us that they entered into deals willing to hold on to their purchases for years, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer and, well, richerer.
Then, after the credit markets hiccuped, we were treated to the spectacle of the best and brightest acting like Hollywood stars, announcing their engagements and then backing out in Us Weekly time. Goldman Sachs and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts' offer for Harman International Industries, an electronics maker, was notable for how fast the firms' feet went cold. In April 2007, Goldman and K.K.R. had spring fever, offering $120 a share, but then they backed out by September. They were hardly alone. J.C. Flowers reversed itself on its Sallie Mae deal. Cerberus had second thoughts about United Rentals.
It's certainly the case that the financial sector needs to recapitalize after spending the past decade lending madly, putting aside smaller and smaller amounts to cover bad loans, and running with thin cushions of capital. Eventually, the sector's healing will help the economy. Some of these investors will end up making a killing. But most will wind up like Singapore and Abu Dhabi-so early to the party that they're stuck doing the extra beer run, hauling the ice from the supermarket down the block, and wondering why the house is still trashed from the night before.

Vispring has a long history of creating extremely good quality products, with over a century of expertise in the industry. Vispring mattresses have long been considered some of the best available since their conception in the early 20th century, and they still are today. Being the height of luxury products for generations, Vispring mattresses were even used in all of the 1st Class accommodation aboard the famously decadent Titanic and her sister-ship, the Olympic. The high standards of excellence that Vispring strive for have even earned them the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise.
Having invented the pocket spring in 1901, Vispring take the quality of the springs in their mattresses very seriously. Each spring is made of vanadium-steel, which makes them much stronger and last longer. These springs come in a wide variety of 58 distinct spring types, and are available in four tensions. So whether you prefer an extra firm mattress or something softer, they're bound to have the spring to suit you.
Once the right spring configuration has been chosen, they are individually enclosed in a natural cotton calico pocket. This ensures that each Vispring mattress is extremely breathable, providing a cooler night's sleep. The springs are then hand-nested in a honeycomb pattern to boost the support offered by each bespoke mattress.
Vispring's commitment to creating luxury products doesn't stop at using fantastic springs, but applies to the whole bed-making process. That's why they only use natural fibres as fillings for their mattresses.
The unique properties of each of the natural filling options lets you customise your bed to the highest degree. From hypoallergenic Peruvian vicuña wool, to soft and absorbent Chinese bamboo, Vispring only uses the very best natural fillings. The Platinum-grade Shetland Islands wool that Vispring uses is both hypoallergenic and breathable, and is proof of their commitment to delivering superior quality.
So if you value high quality above all else, a Vispring mattress could be for you.

Is there a line where someone stops being an entrepreneur and start being a businessman? Can a businessman be an entrepreneur or vice versa?
The answer to is that business and entrepreneurship probably have an overlap. A businessman can be an entrepreneur and entrepreneur be a businessman. First let us look at differences though.
Improve existing process( by adding some "new" factor to it).
The entrepreneur first thinks about his creation like an artist who creates the painting first. Selling comes later. Sometime the entrepreneur really does not want to be involved in selling. He is only interested in creating new things.
On the other hand, the businessman wants to leverage what has been created. He is not looking to creating great art or the next big thing. He wants to know if his business will survive the next day or not . He has a hawk eye for sales. He is worried about finance and marketing.
Is it even necessary to be both?
When does one becomes another?
The entrepreneur needs to think like a businessmen. He needs to determine how and where to sell his products. He also needs to create business plan, manage his enterprise and survive financially. He needs to think like business, if he wants his venture to become a successful business one day.
A businessman needs to become an entrepreneur if he desires to improve his profits by employing new methods or new products. He may improve his business by using social media for example in innovative ways.
Yes, of course. Without the spirit of entrepreneurship. the business may remain a business. As soon as competition arrives, business will need to evolve. It will need to develop new ways of working.
On the other hand, without being business like, an entrepreneur will lose his focus and probably will find it difficult to survive. He needs business skills to sell his product otherwise it will almost become like unsold art.
Both skills are necessary and have a certain overlap .
Hi Ashvini, just found your blog and I am particularly interested in this issue of the difference between entrepreneur and businessman. My question is are the arguments you put forth being backed by academic studies or scholarly works? If they are I would appreciate it if you could let me know the sources.
No, they are not backed by any academic research. They are purely my thoughts out of experience.
For me businessman man is much doing business sometime businessman are also planning not only the entrepreneur.
I love the point you make. I think that line between business man and entrepreneur gets crossed a lot.
I think entrepreneurship is the next level of a businessman. At that point, they aren't thinking of just how they contribute to a business, but what needs to happen to make a business run. It's like physically stepping outside of the box and looking at all the pieces that make it fit.
Indeed, you need to be both of them in order to success as the entrepreneur is the "creator, builder, whatever" and the business man is the seller ( the money maker).
I love the great insights you've shared here on the difference between entrepreneurs and businessmen! You've described it perfectly!
A few years ago I attended an entrepreneur workshop and one of the points made in the class was the difference between the ideas and innovation of the entrepreneur and the business planning of the businessman.
The workshop suggested that not everyone wants to be both, but we must consider both if we wanted to be successful in business. If we feel ill-equipped to fill both roles, we can seek out a business partner or hire a consultant to do one or the other.
You summarized it well. To be successful we need the spirit of an entrepreneur and acumen of a businessman. With the right mix, we can be successful. Its a good idea to have a mentor ( a partner) who can help us out in areas we are not good at .
As I was reading I started to think okay now, I believe I'm both Ashvini. I never even thought of myself as an entrepreneur because I didn't actually have a passion to create something new and share it with the world. I just wanted to do something for myself away from what I had been doing and make it my own.
It's now turned into a business so now I understand where the passion is born. I guess you could say I'm creating something new and it's been so exciting.
I guess I saw a new way of looking at things Ashvini so thank you for that.
You are an entrepreneur and you did not know it ( just like super heroes :) ). I guess anything that you design ( your courses, your blogging methods, your blog itself) probably has either not been done before or at least not done in your format, suffices you to be called an entrepreneur.
But you were a businesswoman too because you could sell it to your audience.
The method and the products were unique too. That is what make you an entrepreneur.
Very interesting thoughts, Ashvini. Having been in the business world and known entrepreneurs well, I completely agree there is a big difference between the two. I think an entrepreneur has to be a businessman, but a businessman doesn't need to be an entrepreneur, though, as you point out, will do better if he has the entrepreneurial spirit.
My best friend is an entrepreneur and she comes from a family of entrepreneurs. She definitely looks at problems differently from others and is a great source for innovative new ideas. She has given me a great respect and appreciation for entrepreneurs over the many years I have known her.
Yes, the entrepreneurs do look at the problems in a different way. They really carry a lot of enthusiasm around them.
In my opinion, there are some people who have a knack for being entrepreneur. They are instinctively good at doing particular activities just as all talented people are in their own fields.
However I think we all have a little streak of entrepreneurship in us for e.g. when we thinking about improving certain process at our workplace. Often we do not get those opportunities to make the changes we want. In my opinion, it all starts with getting the hands dirty and learning swimming actually in the swimming pool. So yes with time we can train people to become entrepreneurs. It would be good to have a mentor though at the start so that we don't make the most common mistakes.
Glad that you liked my ideas :). Have a great day.

Holiday cottages in Alfriston and Sussex self-catering vacations
Alfriston, as a village, is perhaps most famous for its church in the centre, unusually large in size in relation to its location and local populace, which has long held the nick-name "The Catherdal of the South Downs". Located in the River Cuckmere valley, it's also well-known by fans of ancient history for having been occupied since Neolithic times as well as a centre for smuggling. It also has a very old Inn dating back to the mid-1300's when it was a religious "hostel" used by pilgrims and monks.
Alfriston's is also well-known by the artistic fraternity. The hymn, turned into a hit pop song by singer Cat Stevens, was written in the village by Elanor Farjeon in the 1930's, and iconic films including "The Chalk Garden" (with Sir John Mills and Deborah Kerr) and "Waltz of the Toreadors" (with Peter Sellers) were both filmed there.

Sam Smith's hat-trick ensured the Royals' U23s will take on Aston Villa in the Premier League 2 play-offs, with a 3-1 in over Stoke City at Madejski Stadium.
The Royals were dominant all half against the Potters, but struggled to break down their resolute defence initially.
Tennai Watson came to life on the right, getting past his man on numerous occasions and putting in good crosses for the Royals.
The first clear-cut chance came as Joseph Mendes threaded Smith through on goal, who spun and shot towards the far corner and drew out a top-drawer save from Joseph Bursik in the Stoke goal.
Ryan East then teased a ball into the area from a free-kick, but Gabriel Osho couldn't turn it in with his out-stretched leg.
Soon after, Mendes was the recipient of a cutting through-ball with only goalkeeper Bursik to beat. The stopper was quick off his line, though, and slid clear on the edge of his area.
Scott Marshall's side then took a deserved lead after 36 minutes. Tyler Frost, playing in an unfamiliar wing-back role, broke forward with pace and hung up an enticing ball for Smith.
He wrapped his left foot around the shot first time to tuck it in at the near post and give the Royals the lead.
The advantage was soon doubled, with Smith latching onto a long ball, rounding the goalkeeper and coolly finishing into the empty net to give Scott Marshall's side a two-goal cushion at the break.
The visitors came out with hope of getting back into the game at the start of teh second half - forcing two good saves from Liam Driscoll.
First, a Berahino strike was met well by the Royals' goalkeeper, before he turned over a long drive from Shenton.
However, Shenton would provide hope for the Potters as he put in a free-kick, with William Forrester putting in a simple header from close range to bring the game back within reach.
Reading had to work for their opportunities, but Smith, on a hat-trick, was fed by Loader and through on goal. He struck it sweetly, but the woodwork denied him as it rebounded off the post.
Ben House was introduced and almost notched the Royals' third, chasing another Loader through-ball that he challenged Bursik for, but the goalkeeper made it first and claimed.
Former West Brom striker Berahino had a chance from a free-kick 25 yards out, but he couldn't keep his effort down and it cleared the bar.
With four minutes left on the clock, though, the hat-trick was complete and the Royals sealed their place in the play-offs.
A perfectly-timed ball from Loader left Smith clean through on goal having beaten the offside trap. He rounded Bursik and tucked into the bottom corner to put the result beyond doubt.
The semi-final against Villa will take place away from home, between Friday April 27th and Monday April 30th.

Why wormholes (probably) don't exist
Published January 26, 2015	Astronomy , Physics 19 Comments

A lot of science fiction plot devices are devoted to getting around the speed of light. In the real Universe, nothing with mass can travel faster than light, which means we can't travel to distant stars without taking decades, centuries, or longer in transit. So, sci-fi draws from teleportation, hyperdrive, warp drive, and the ultimate cosmic short-cut: wormholes.[1]
In some cases, the source of a science fiction concept actually is in physics — though it rarely looks the same in fiction as in reality. (Ain't that the truth for so many things?) And of course many scientists are sci-fi fans, who have tried to determine if any of these schemes actually work with physics as we know it. A lot of these calculations are for fun or for curiosity, but whether with serious intent or not, the science is pretty clear: without something unexpected, the speed of light is still the limit. We can't get from here to a distant star system instantly, no matter how much we want to.[2]
I'm as disappointed by this as anyone, though I won't let it stop me from enjoying Star Trek and the rest. It's important to remember that scientists like me don't shoot down sci-fi ideas because we hate them: we just need to keep ourselves grounded in what successful theories and experiments tell us about the world.
For that reason, I got a little grumpfy last week when a press release from SISSA (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, or the International School for Advanced Studies for those of us who don't speak Italian) claimed researchers showed that our galaxy could harbor a huge wormhole, powered by dark matter. [ http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.00490 ] Thankfully most outlets didn't pick up on the story (apart from Universe Today, which loves to run uncritical stories about wild speculative science). However, I got enough questions via Twitter and Facebook that I thought it's worth going over what established science tells us about wormholes and dark matter.
Briefly stated: wormholes probably don't exist in real life, for a wide variety of reasons from general relativity and quantum physics. To make matters worse, the way the new paper treats dark matter contradicts a lot of research in cosmology, and flatly is ruled out by existing observations in the Milky Way. Let's start from the beginning….
What is a wormhole?
A wormhole is a hypothetical link between two points in spacetime, which would manifest itself as something resembling a black hole without an event horizon. (Event horizons are the boundaries preventing anything from exiting once something enters a black hole.) In plain language, if you entered a wormhole, you would emerge in a different place and time; the distance you travel could be far less than than the separation in space. You could even travel back or forward in time using a wormhole, though that's a complication we don't need to worry about today. It's also possible for wormholes to be longer than the distance you want to travel in space, so science fiction astronauts: don't just blindly drop into a wormhole and hope for the best!
From the "outside", the simplest wormhole would look like a sphere, though its surface would look very strange, based on its strong gravity and whatever light is passing through it from the other side. If they existed, most wormholes would likely be very small and would evaporate almost as soon as they formed. Anything passing through — even a single photon — disturbs the gravitational structure of the wormhole, causing it to collapse into two infinitely dense concentrations of energy known as "naked singularities". That leaves us with two questions: could a wormhole form in the first place, and could it be stabilized somehow?
Mathematically, a wormhole is perfectly allowed by the rules of general relativity. But the math isn't the whole (hole?) story. A wormhole is described using geometry; when you insert that geometrical statement into the machinery of Einstein's equations of general relativity, you get back a description of what sort of matter or energy would be needed to make a wormhole true. Basically, the structure of spacetime requires something that focuses light as it enters the wormhole, then defocuses it as it exits.
Sometimes you'll hear wormholes referred to as "Einstein-Rosen bridges", referring to a 1935 paper by Billy Bob Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen. John Archibald Wheeler and his colleagues did a lot of work on wormholes in the 1950s and '60s, but their real entrance into the popular imagination came through Carl Sagan's novel Contact. Through correspondence with gravitational physicist Kip Thorne, Sagan worked out a science fiction device: alien technology enabled the opening of a temporary wormhole between Earth and a distant star system, allowing the novel's protagonist and her companions to cover many light-years of distance in a matter of hours.[3]
As Thorne describes in his book Black Holes and Time Warps, the alien tech required some form of "exotic matter". Sagan didn't need to worry about the details for Contact, but Thorne did: to make a real-world wormhole to defocus light paths, you need negative energy density to keep the tunnel from collapsing. (Thorne also consulted on the recent film Interstellar, which also involves astronauts traveling via wormhole.) That follows directly from general relativity.
Nothing we know of possesses negative energy density. Dark energy, for example, has positive energy density, even though it has negative pressure. Some quantum fluctuations can be interpreted that way, though they are very tiny on the scale we'd need to build a useful wormhole. So, quantum gravity might let us have microscopic wormholes that pop in and out of existence, but that doesn't help us travel to Vega.
In fact, it's really hard to imagine what negative energy density even means. All matter we know about has positive energy density (guaranteed in part by E = mc2), which is why Thorne invoked hypothetical "exotic" matter in his wormhole papers, but there's good reason to think such stuff doesn't exist in the real world. There's even a mathematical theorem in general relativity stating that the total energy in a volume of spacetime must be positive or zero. If there's any negative energy density around, it must be counterbalanced by a greater amount of positive energy density in the same general region.[4]
Why our galaxy isn't a giant transit system
All of this is general background for the new paper announced last week. The authors claim they can describe the motion of matter in spiral galaxies if they have huge wormholes at their centers. The exotic matter required to hold these wormholes open is none other than the invisible dark matter that makes up 85 percent of all mass in the cosmos. This paper has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in Annals of Physics, but it has a lot of problems.
First, most dark matter out there cannot have negative energy density, or else the Universe couldn't make galaxies. We also have a pretty good handle on the total dark matter density for the entire Universe via measurements of the cosmic microwave background. Maybe some could be "exotic", but that's not the stuff we usually mean by dark matter, which is sluggish and nearly non-interacting. (See this Physical Review Letters paper for more on constraining dark matter properties using astronomical observations.)
But let's say the exotic matter is something other than dark matter. Even there, the wormhole hypothesis runs into trouble. The authors attempt to reproduce the rotation of matter in a spiral galaxy using a modified version of the wormhole geometry, but their evidence takes the form of side-by-side graphs on vastly different axis scales. There is no direct numerical comparison in their model to real data; instead, they say "our proposed curve and observed curve profile for tangential velocity are almost similar to each other" and "our assumption is more or less justified." That's not very um…precise language. I might get away with that sort of thing in a blog post, but with the magnitude of the claim the authors are making, I'd expect much better from a peer-reviewed published paper.

Finally, their model depends on a rather striking assertion: that the wormhole diameter is the size of the dark matter core (a region at the center of the galaxy where the dark matter density levels off rather than climbing forever). While there are several estimates of the size of this core, it's probably pretty big, maybe even encompassing the orbit of the Sun. It seems like a rather large omission not to note that we actually are inside a wormhole's throat, but maybe I'm missing something. Additionally, we have mapped the Milky Way pretty well to the center, where we can literally plot the orbits of stars around the central black hole. (If you want to learn more about that, please sign up for my new class on gravity and orbits, starting next week.)
The Universe is a slippery little weasel: we are often surprised by new discoveries. However, the likelihood of wrongness increases with the grandiosity of the claim. For large stable wormholes of the type claimed in this paper (or the types in Interstellar, Contact, Deep Space Nine, and other science fiction) we need to be wrong about a lot of different things that touch on several branches of fundamental science. We would need general relativity to be wrong in its own claims about itself, and we would need to fundamentally revise the way we interpret astronomical data. Much as I love the idea of wormholes, I love the reliability of general relativity — and reality — more.
Real-world communication is similarly limited by the speed of light, hence subspace communication and Ursula LeGuin's ansible.
Despite discovering the mathematical equations describing a kind of "warp drive", Miguel Alcubierre is one of the biggest critics of the people trying to build a working example. As he rightfully has pointed out, his calculations pretty much show warp drive is impossible in the real world, for similar reasons to those showing why wormholes probably aren't real. I wrote about why "warp drives" won't work for Slate.
In the movie version, Ellie Arroway travels alone, and if my memory serves, the structure of the wormhole is never explained.
This is known in the trade as a horrible simplification. Don't try this at home, kids.

August's full moon likely to outshine Perseid meteor shower this year, NASA astronomer says
By Samantha Mathewson
last updated 4 August 2022
The Perseid meteor shower, one of the most anticipated and popular night-sky shows of the year, is likely to be upstaged by August's full moon.

The Perseid meteor shower, one of the most anticipated and popular night-sky shows of the year, is likely to be upstaged by August's full moon.
The Perseids are one of the strongest meteor showers occurring annually between July 14 and Sept. 1. This year, the meteor shower will peak on Aug. 12 and 13, which just so happens to conflict with the full moon, whose bright light will make it difficult to see the meteors shooting across the night sky.
"Sadly, this year's Perseids peak will see the worst possible circumstances for spotters," Bill Cooke, a NASA astronomer who leads the Meteoroid Environment Office at the space agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, said in a statement (opens in new tab). "Most of us in North America would normally see 50 or 60 meteors per hour, but this year, during the normal peak, the full Moon will reduce that to 10-20 per hour at best."

If you're looking for a good camera for meteor showers and astrophotography, our top pick is the Nikon D850. Check out our best cameras for astrophotography for more and prepare for the tau Herculids with our guide on how to photograph a meteor shower.
The August full moon, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, will be at its brightest on Aug. 11 at 9:35 p.m. EDT (0101 GMT) and will appear nearly full the night before and the night after its peak. It is the last of this year's supermoons, which occur when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit. This means the Sturgeon Moon will appear just a little brighter than a normal full moon.
"The moon is so much brighter than anything else in the night sky, and it will wash out all, but the very brightest Perseids as they streak through our atmosphere and burn up far overhead," according to the statement from NASA.
The Perseids are caused by Earth passing through the debris remnants, or bits of ice and rock, left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle, which last passed close to Earth in 1992. Comet Swift-Tuttle orbits our sun every 133 years and won't pass our way again until 2125.
Measuring about 16 miles (26 kilometers) wide, Comet Swift-Tuttle is the largest object known to repeatedly pass by Earth. Observations of the Perseid meteor shower date back to medieval Europe, at which time the annual event was known as "the Tears of St. Lawrence" — named for the last of seven Roman church deacons martyred by the emperor Valerian in August of the year 258, according to the NASA statement.

However, it wasn't until 1862 that two independent astronomers, Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle, discovered the comet. Therefore, "how far back sightings of the Perseids actually go remains a matter of some contention," Cooke said in the statement.
The Perseids will begin to slow down around Aug. 21-22 and cease completely by Sept. 1. While this probably won't be the best year to see the Perseids peak, there is still a chance of catching a few "shooting stars" on the days leading up to or after Aug. 12. Try to find a dark viewing spot away from artificial light between midnight and dawn for the best meteor-gazing opportunity. And, if you miss out on spotting the Perseids, there are still a few chances to catch other meteor showers later in August, when the moon's light won't interfere quite as much.

AT&T; Expands 3G Wireless Broadband Service Along the South Coast
www.att.com
AT&T Inc. has announced that customers traveling along the northeastern corridor between Boston and New York City can now experience more of the blazing-fast third-generation (3G) mobile broadband network. In fact, AT&T has turned on more than 100 3G cell sites to cover key southeastern New England communities, including New Bedford, Mass.; Newport, R.I.; and New London, Conn.
"Having access to 3G in more places means having broadband-like speeds from your wireless device where you once thought it wasn't possible," said Stephen Krom, vice president and general manager for AT&T's wireless operations in New England. "The next time our customers visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum, for example, they can instantly capture their experience with photos and share them with friends and family with picture messaging or e-mail, or they can show a walking tour through our exclusive Video Share feature. The possibilities are endless with our 3G wireless network."
Along the South Coast, 3G coverage is available along Route 195 from Mattapoisett, Mass. through Fall River, Mass. and into Providence, R.I. The coverage extends to include Newport and other key locations in Rhode Island, including Kingstown, Bristol, Warwick, West Warwick, and Westerly. Heading down the I-95 corridor into Connecticut, the 3G network follows the shoreline through areas such as Mystic, Stonington, Groton and New London before connecting with the pre-existing 3G network in New Haven.
"From a business perspective, expanding the reach of our network along the main commuter corridor between Boston and New York City allows us to provide a consistent high speed data experience," said Krom. "Whether they are taking the train or traveling by car, our customers have a mobile office at their fingertips to access services such as corporate e-mail or mobile video clips while traveling between two of the Northeast's most popular cities."
The 3G network allows customers to use their 3G handsets to quickly access sophisticated wireless content, including videos, games, pictures and the latest music, entertainment, news and weather, through MEdia Net, the company's mobile Internet portal. MEdia Net is a two-screen service, which means users can browse, download and manipulate content from their wireless device and their PC. Offering two points of access demonstrates AT&T's commitment to easy-to-use services for its customers. Customers can also view razor-sharp clips through CV, an on-demand streaming video service that offers a comprehensive library of mobile video content from some of the top media brands.
Benefits of the AT&T 3G Network
AT&T's 3G network uses HSDPA/UMTS (High Speed Downlink Packet Access/Universal Mobile Telephone System) technology, which is based on the GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications) standard, the most widely used wireless technology in the world. More than 2.7 billion people use wireless devices powered by GSM — representing more than 90 percent of the world's wireless users. The company's mobile broadband network is available in more than 255 U.S. major metropolitan areas and is continuing to expand to additional markets.
AT&T's mobile broadband network also provides the simultaneous delivery of voice and data — a capability not offered by all wireless providers. An example of a 3G service is Video Share, which enables users to share live video over wireless phones while carrying on a voice call — providing a new way to share personal moments and key events beyond the capabilities of voice and text. Users can allow others to "see what I see, when I see it."
Another benefit of GSM technology is that customers who leave AT&T's growing 3G service footprint automatically convert to the AT&T EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution) network without dropping the call or data connection. The EDGE network is the largest high speed wireless data network in the country, available in more than 13,000 cities and towns in the United States and along 40,000 miles of highway. EDGE technology is also available to AT&T customers who are traveling internationally in more than 120 countries.
AT&T's Network Investment
Over the past three years, AT&T has invested more than $18 billion to build and support the scope and capability of its wireless network and to add 3G markets. This initiative ensures quality of service and gives customers fast access from their handsets and mobile devices. In Massachusetts, AT&T continues to invest in its wireless network; AT&T has spent more than $420 million over the past four years to increase wireless coverage throughout the region to ensure quality of service and provide customers with a wider range of advanced wireless applications from their mobile devices.

Canucks down Flames to force Game 6
Daniel Sedin scored early in the third period Thursday as the Vancouver Canucks avoided elimination with a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames in Game 5 of their Western Conference quarter-final. The Flames still lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Saturday in Calgary.
Advocate Staff
VANCOUVER — Daniel Sedin scored early in the third period Thursday as the Vancouver Canucks avoided elimination with a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames in Game 5 of their Western Conference quarter-final.
The Flames still lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Saturday in Calgary.
Nick Bonino had the other goal for Vancouver, which got 19 saves from Ryan Miller.
David Jones replied for Calgary, while Jonas Hiller stopped 41 shots.
The Canucks snapped a 1-1 tie 1:47 into the third after the Flames iced the puck. Vancouver put out its top line for the offensive zone faceoff and made Calgary pay as Daniel Sedin shovelled home a Dan Hamhuis rebound through Hiller's pads for his second goal of the series.
Vancouver had to kill off a Calgary power play midway through the period when Hamhuis was whistled for firing the puck over the glass, including a big stop from Miller on Joe Colborne from the slot.
The Flames had another man advantage with under six minutes to go when Henrik Sedin went off for hooking, but didn't get a single shot on target against Miller, who was making his first start of the series after replacing Eddie Lack in Game 4.
Calgary has made a living off third-period comebacks this season, but were unable to find an equalizer as Vancouver stayed alive in front of a raucous towel-waving crowd at Rogers Arena.
Down 1-0 after the first period, Vancouver tied the game with 6:29 left in the second after a good cycle down low when Bonino took a pass from Radim Vrbata and ripped a shot under the crossbar from the faceoff dot for his first of the playoffs.
With the Canucks then pressing to grab the lead at the other end, Miller was forced into a good save on TJ Brodie to keep things even as Vancouver held a 34-16 shot edge through 40 minutes.
Calgary could have taken a 2-0 lead earlier in the period, but Colborne hit the post a minute in before Mason Raymond saw the puck roll off his stick on a clear breakaway.
The Flames went up 1-0 just 2:40 into the first period when Jones jumped on a turnover by Alexander Edler and fired shortside on Miller for his second goal of the series.
Calgary's Dennis Wideman had an opportunity to add to the lead on the power play moments later only to see his shot hit the post behind Miller and stay out.
Vancouver had some great chances to equalize later in the period, but Jannik Hansen's one-timer from the point clanked off iron before Vrbata's effort on a man advantage also hit the post.

Cobra Kai Fans Got Karate Kid Chills From This Big Callback
By Alex Welch/July 18, 2022 6:19 pm EDT
"Cobra Kai" is the rare kind of sequel that actually manages to live up to the quality of its predecessors.
Ever since it first premiered on YouTube Red back in 2018, the "Karate Kid" sequel series has received consistently positive reviews from both critics and casual viewers alike (via Rotten Tomatoes). Now, "Cobra Kai" ranks as one of Netflix's most popular and beloved TV shows, and the series' continued success is a true testament to its quality. Indeed, while "Cobra Kai" may have initially garnered attention purely because of its status as a sequel to 1984's "The Karate Kid," the series has managed to carve out its own identity for itself over the course of its time on the air.
That's not to say, however, that "Cobra Kai" has shied away from referencing the original "Karate Kid" films. As a matter of fact, the series has always been willing to pay homage to the movies that inspired it, and its episodes have featured more than their fair share of "Karate Kid" Easter eggs. With that in mind, it turns out that there is one "Karate Kid" Easter egg, in particular, that "Cobra Kai" viewers instantly fell in love with.
The Easter egg in question shows up early on in "Cobra Kai" Season 1, and it probably still ranks as one of the series' most ingenious and clever "Karate Kid" callbacks.
Cobra Kai fans love Miguel's Halloween dance costume
At one point in Episode 3 of "Cobra Kai" Season 1, Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña) starts getting ready to go to his school's Halloween dance only to be stopped by his sensei, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). Unimpressed by Miguel's homemade costume, Johnny decides to gift his student with a totally different Halloween outfit. Later, when Miguel appears on-screen again, it's revealed that he ended up wearing the exact same skeleton costume that Zabka's Johnny famously wore in 1984's "The Karate Kid" to his school's Halloween dance.
The "Karate Kid" callback came as an unexpected but pleasant surprise to "Cobra Kai" viewers. On Reddit, one fan even created a post about the Easter egg and asked their fellow viewers if they also got chills when Miguel donned Johnny's iconic Halloween costume. In response, u/noitsme99 wrote, "No chills, but [the] nostalgia hit was there," while u/kk123ck joked, "Daniel [Ralph Macchio] definitely got chills lol." Of course, Miguel's skeleton costume is far from the only notable "Karate Kid" Easter egg that has popped up on "Cobra Kai."
In an interview with BuzzFeed, the series' creators, Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, even discussed how they come up with the show's "Karate Kid" references. "We are such superfans of the original franchise that the nostalgia comes naturally," said Heald. "We kind of represent the nostalgia when we talk about these characters and what they've been through, and what their backstories and histories are with each other. We let that influence their headspace now, and it trickles down to the next generation."
Now, all fans have to do is wait to see if any of the inevitable "Karate Kid" Easter eggs in "Cobra Kai" Season 5 manage to give them the same kind of chills that seeing Miguel wear Johnny's skeleton costume did.
