Beginner's mind is a concept in Buddhism representing openness or lack of preconception. Simplifying the mental state allows for a clearer picture of reality. In many disciplines, we try to "advance" to higher and higher levels of learning, ability, or complexity. In Buddhism, beginner's mind is a reminder to focus on the basics. The equivalent in a mathematics class would be to meditate on 1+1=2. Forget the Pythagorean theorem or differentials: do you really know 1+1?
Most importantly, beginner's mind reminds us to stay humble. Consultants can do great things only by listening and harnessing latent power of their clients. The smartest analysis is useless if it stays on PowerPoint slides, disconnected from execution.
I suspect that successful people in every field draw advantages from spiritual practices. More examples?
Here's another reason you know you're in Central America: good old boys. I suspect that American business was dominated thirty years ago by "good old boys." George Bush is the perfect example. He joined clubs like Andover and Yale and Skull and Bones because his father did. He enjoyed immediate business prominence (if not success) because of his connections and swagger, not because of analytical ability.
A quick glance at an incoming McKinsey class reveals that times have changed, with Bush's elite cool exchanged for a distinctly middle-class (but not for long!) ambitiousness. Impeccably prepared and overwhelmingly dorky, the new American super-successes are represented by Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg, not new generations of Rockefeller. No Bush will be president from our generation.
Meanwhile Zuckerburg still flounders in Latin America. His brain needs more brawn; he needs connections and a BMW when he turns eighteen; he needs to know the right people and have the cool to get them to join his website; he needs social value and it's not going to come from anticipating trends in global social networking.
Fifty years down the road, expect to see some convergence to a more technocratic business environment. But for now, good old boys dominate in good old (Latin) America.
As previously expressed here and here and here, I think prevalent mobile GPS technology is a total game changer and holds great promise to improve our offline lives.
1) Time is money. And if there's one place we waste a lot of time, it's overbudgeting for car trips to account for traffic. If you MUST be somewhere at X time, you plan for the worst and leave a large cushion. Chances are you arrive early. GPS will largely eliminate the friction of time budgeting. It knows fairly precisely how long it takes to get from A to B because others are always driving all along the route you will take. It can ascertain current traffic conditions with unprecedented resolution by piecing together individual car speeds along the route in real time.
You can count on your two hands the number of web businesses that have remained market leaders in their space for more than 5 years. Try comparing that to any other industry.
I think this all is true. But I don't think Facebook is unique here. Gmail's got them beat on all three counts.
On the social graph (1): Facebook has your hundreds of "friends." Gmail has your thousands of email contacts. Any measure of the strength of a social connection is skewed by Facebook usage patterns (e.g. your real friends never write "Happy Birthday" on your wall. Facebook power users do). On the other hand, your friends do email you in rough proportion to the strength of your relationship. The folks that show up on my gChat sidebar are a pretty damn good measure of who is most important in my life at any given time.
On personal information (2): Facebook profile data is nice because it is standardized, but contains far less personal information than what's locked inside my gmail account. The shear volume of information there is incredible and just a smart algorithm away from being a huge strategic asset.
On Switching Costs (3): Switching costs for leaving Facebook for another service do exist. Building profiles is annoying. So is porting pictures. The data portability movement is going to snipe away at Facebook switching costs soon enough and we are already seeing it open up more. Gmail owns me. And even if a moderately better service existed, I would not switch. My inbox and outbox are the two most important pieces of property in my life. Unfortunately I don't own them. Google does and therefore has me captive.
Gmail's got the staying power and is going to be around for a while. Facebook may or it may not. Time will tell.
Was chatting with the head of Endeavor Chile the other night about the current state of the entrepreneurial environment in the country. Although he was too modest to attribute everything to Endeavor, he was confident that the environment had changed quite a bit in the last ten years. What he was describing was not simply the emergence of new entrepreneurs. He was describing the formation of entrepreneurial infrastructure — an ecosystem to support entrepreneurship.
You need publicity. This includes journalists who write about start-ups and readers who want to read about start-ups .
Silicon Valley has all of these and it is no wonder the place is the world's entrepreneurial engine. Many emerging markets do not. We think of entrepreneurship as the solitary, unsupported work of individuals. The truth is there is a support apparatus that makes it all possible.
Tyler Cowen has a fun thought experiment over at Marginal Revolution. The discussion in the comments section really brought out the medieval geeks.
Is there any way [you] can leverage knowledge of modernity into socially valuable outputs? Would prattling on about sanitation and communicable diseases do him any good?
I'll add another thought experiment to this (courtesy of Dean Karlan): What if you were transported to a rural village in the developing world without any connections or possessions. Would you do better or worse than the average village dweller? Certainly there would be the obvious disadvantages — lack of language, the relevant practical skills and cultural knowledge.
I go back on forth on this one. Sam has some nice thoughts in Barefoot Basketball. Opinions?
Disappointed readers, I regret to inform you that we have no additional information on Michael Seater wearing short pants.
Sam and I have been far too benevolent in sparing you from unrepetant econ geekery. That is until now.
Similar to New York and Washington DC, residents of Santiago use stored value cards to pay for public transportation — the onomatopoeically named "BIP" cards (based on the beeping sound the machines make after you pay).
(Sidenote: The subject of public transport in Santiago is actually quite fascinating. In 2007, the city undertook a top-level wholesale redesign of the entire system, which was formally largely decentralized. The results have been disastrous, resulting in a precipitous drop in the President Michelle Bachelet's approval rating. Transantiago is her Iraq War from a public approval standpoint. Some thoughts from the Antiplanner here.).
When people scan their BIP card, the remaining account balance is displayed on the scanner screen. I've noticed that the average card balances are usually less than 1000 Pesos (about $2.20 or 2.5 trips). This means that people who commute on public transport everyday are constantly charging their cards. I usually load mine up with 10,000 pesos each time ($22 or 25 trips). Why waste the time filling it up so often?
But it seems that my preference for keeping a 10X balance to the average Chilean can not be fully explained by 1) (my relative wealth) and there is no reason to believe that 2) and 3) would be so different for me. Chile is not an impoverished country. This can not be explained by working capital constraints. GDP per capita is around $14,000 and is probably much higher along my bus route in my wealthy neighborhood of Santiago. What gives? Any ideas? Why do people wait in line to charge these cards almost every day?
Also, is there an interesting natural experiment on how people value money hidden in the BIP card data? Seems so, but I'm having trouble formulating it.
How do you know you're in Central America?
How is this possible? It is because the world is grooved.
Let me give you more details. I work in a fancy office with advanced temperature control and classy art. I don't live in a shack but a nice house with roommates. The "locals" I work with speak very faintly accented English and most have at least one family name (out of two) that sounds American, German, Eastern European, Italian, or otherwise not Spanish. The office is international and overwhelmingly white. My new friends and colleagues are fun, educated, generous, and considerate: I like these people. Everyone is well traveled and lists traveling as an "interest" on Facebook. Everyone watches Youtube while they pretend to work.
So how do I know I'm not in New York? I see it in subtle differences.
Bottles at the club cost a lot less than at Crowbar. No one does dishes – at home, in the office, anywhere. Someone else does that. The one guy with all Spanish family names lets you in on a secret: he is a direct descendant of Juan Vázquez de Coronado. No one walks – you're almost not allowed, and the public bus… hahaha that's funny. There are no sidewalks, which seems natural because no one you know walks. When you're driving you try not to hit the people walking on the street but you're not sure who these people are because they don't look like the people you know (whom you've never seen walking).
Most of these differences (but not all of them) point to a more stratified society, which Central America certainly is. What I found interesting was the ease with which I could (with my new friends) sit atop that stratification and live fairly similar to a young, liberal American in New York, looking down at the other stratas (e.g. developing countries) yet being insulated in a much smaller world.
4,000 miles from all I knew in New York, the world feels close. When I see those people walking on the street, I'm sometimes reminded of great distances, glimpses lasting for one brief second.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official relieved of duties
Posted on October 13, 2011 by Bob Pitt
A top Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official who sent an Islamophobic email to a Helena immigration attorney has been relieved of his supervisory duties, according to lawyers involved in the case.
Earlier this month, Bruce Norum, the supervisory detention and deportation officer for the Helena Department of Homeland Security ICE field office, forwarded a racially charged email to Shahid Haque-Hausrath, a Helena immigration attorney of Pakistani descent.
Haque-Hausrath, a natural-born U.S. citizen who was raised in a Muslim household, took offense to the email and filed official complaints with DHS and the U.S. Department of Justice. Haque-Hausrath's complaint maintained that it is unacceptable for a top-ranking ICE official with authority over immigrants of all races, nationalities and religious backgrounds to send such a racially charged email to anyone, especially from a work computer and during work hours.
On Wednesday, Haque-Hausrath said he was contacted by Steven Branch, Norum's supervisor in Salt Lake City, who said Norum is no longer serving as the supervisory detention and deportation officer for the Montana office.
According to Haque-Hausrath, Branch, the director for ICE's Salt Lake City field office, contacted Haque-Hausrath's attorney last Friday to let him know that his office had received the complaint and was taking it seriously.
"He said he was taking swift action to make sure the credibility of his office wasn't called into question, and to make sure I was able to continue to perform my duties without bias or retaliation," Haque-Hausrath said. "He said he wanted to run a clean operation, and he understood that Bruce Norum's actions compromised the integrity of that operation."

MINNEAPOLIS (01/23/2019) – The Twin Cities multitenant commercial real estate industry remained active in the second half of 2018, even as multiple property types faced changing occupier and consumer preferences, dramatically outpacing projections for absorption and showing staying power for 2019 and beyond. At the end of 2018, the market's multitenant properties posted a vacancy rate of 10.9 percent, according to Cushman & Wakefield's bi-annual Compass Report, up slightly from the 10.6 percent rate posted six months prior.
Demand in the Hotel market outpaced supply. Even accounting for the more than 6,000 rooms delivered during this economic cycle, hotel demand surged past supply in 2018, growing by 5.0 percent. Supply growth will cool as overbuilding concerns and escalating costs deter some developers. There are currently another 6,000-plus hotel rooms in some stage of development.
The Medical Office paused amid continued adaptation by users. Leasing and construction have slowed as health systems and providers evaluate their shifting environment and seek to modify their real estate strategies. That may mean some changes are in store for buildings constructed for medical uses that no longer meet the needs of users and their clients. Meanwhile, health care users are among the more active companies seeking retail spaces.
Retail took steps forward after a string of national bankruptcies. Users are starting to chip away at the inventory of big-box vacancies that have hit the Twin Cities over the past 18 months as retailers such as Sears, JC Penney, and Toys R Us close struggling locations. Some will find single users and many will be demised for smaller retailers, but one constant is that landlords and retailers alike will need to remain flexible. Smaller retail spaces continue to lease well, and many value retailers, fitness brands and fast-casual restaurants are aggressively shopping for new locations.
Industrial remained active all over the Twin Cities. Industrial has been arguably the biggest growth sector for the Twin Cities commercial real estate market during this cycle, and that growth only continued in the second half of 2018. The market absorbed more than 1 msf in the last six months, bringing its yearlong total to just under 2.8 msf, its best number since 2015.
Investors kept the Land market busy, seeking out suburban development positions. National homebuilders are doing their best to strategically cope with rising interest rates and construction costs, finding prime parcels for "low-density residential," the hottest sector in the land market today. Still, builders won't overpay for lots, and sellers have abandoned unrealistic pricing expectations.
Capital flowed into the Twin Cities seeking new opportunities. The market continues to attract investors from other markets, who are interested in yields unmatched by coastal markets. But a lack of for-sale properties continues to be a hurdle for multiple property types. Still, multifamily, office, industrial and retail boasted higher sales volumes in 2018, and plenty of notable assets are expected to transact in 2019.
Multifamily's bull run continued, while the market waited for another big wave of openings. The sector's ability to withstand thousands of new units coming online has been remarkable, resulting in an extremely tight 2.3 percent vacancy rate. 2019 will be a year to watch for the market, with thousands more units on the way and concessions already creeping up.
The Office market redefined itself. Despite ongoing changes in office leasing, the market remained active in the second half, with 365,929 sf of absorption recorded in the past six months. Market fundamentals are good – even great in some pockets – with both vacancies and rental rates showing improvement. There are plenty of trends to watch in 2019, including space coming back in the south/airport market and co-working's continued rise in the Twin Cities.

California State Prisons Go For Military Look
Critics say new rules outlawing long hair, beards may further strain bulging prisons.
By Christian Parenti and Christopher D. Cook Special to The Christian Science Monitor
January 8, 1998 | SAN FRANCISCO
California'S 153,000 prisoners are all getting new military-style haircuts - like it or not.
According to new grooming rules passed by the California Department of Corrections (CDC), there will be no more long hair, beards, large mustaches - or, for that matter, earrings or makeup.
Enacted Jan. 1, the new rules are the most recent development in the trend of restricting inmate liberties. Across the country, privileges such as contact visits, reading rights, and access to law libraries have been increasingly curtailed - and prisons here are even considering eliminating all conjugal visits and care packages. The moves are a part of the shift away from rehabilitation toward more punishment, and some critics worry that this path may lead to prison unrest.
Yet for many prison officials, the reasons for the change are obvious. "The point is to show them who's in control," says one Texas corrections official. Indeed, California officials claim the new rules will make prisons safer.
"We've had more than one incident where a prisoner had long hair and a beard, and shaved just before escaping, making it harder for law enforcement to catch them," says Christine May, spokesperson for the CDC. There is also the issue of hiding weapons, drugs, and other contraband in hair and beards. Other CDC concerns include maintaining "reasonable hygiene" and "removing [prisoners'] affiliation with gangs or other groups," says Ms. May.
Good sense or overkill?
But critics call the rules overkill. "The CDC already has metal detectors that can see contraband inside inmates' bodies," says Milliard Murphy of the Prison Law Project, a nonprofit that litigates on behalf of convicts.
CDC officials are also quick to point out that no prisoner will be "physically forced" to obey the new grooming rules. But administrative measures such as loss of good time, and ultimately, time in solitary confinement or "segregation" will be used.
The rules have drawn fire from prisoners, their advocates, and even some guards, who worry that, far from enhancing safety, the rules will provoke violence in a system that is already tense at 202 percent capacity.
In a San Quentin state prison classroom of prison veterans, some inmates expressed concerns about the changes. "We do have a little bit of a life here, debased as it is, but there's stuff to do," says one clean-cut lifer. "[This] is just too much."
Even the leadership of the guards union - the politically potent California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) - is worried. "Massive and sudden changes can bring massive resistance," says Lance Corchran, vice president of the CCPOA. "I worked in the joints for 10 years and I've seen how things go. Once, inmates held a huge sit-down strike because they thought we'd been serving them pancakes too many days in a row."
How other states cope
Other states have maintained grooming restrictions for decades, most notably the massive corrections departments in Florida and Texas. In Texas - home to 141,000 prisoners - grooming "is part of the overall disciplinary program," says spokesman Larry Todd. There, prisoners still wear distinctive uniforms, must walk in strictly designated paths, and are awakened as early as 3:30 a.m.
California's new rules amend a landmark 1976 inmate bill of rights, won through years of prisoner organizing, that sought to speed rehabilitation by putting more responsibility in convicts' hands. But in 1984, the CDC removed "rehabilitation" from its list of official goals, and May says the 1976 bill went too far: "It said that inmates could control what goes on in the institution."
So far, no lawsuits have been filed, though at least five inmates have refused to comply. Mr. Murphy predicts that suits will be filed by native Americans, Orthodox Jews, and Rastafarians - all of whom wear long hair for reasons of faith. The state, however, does not plan to accommodate them. "Someone who is in prison has already violated the tenets of their religion," explains May.

This past month I attend a business networking meeting and we were to write a letter pretending it was December 2014.
So excited to see this future: Erich graduates, my business is growing, and I am 15 pounds skinnier!!! How exciting is that.
If life were only that easy that we can write our scripts. The truth of the matter is that we do write our scripts only sometimes we don't realize that we have control of the pen and before we know it someone else has written how your life will turn out.
Make it different this year for yourself. Dream what you want, You write it out, You make it happen.
I was reflecting this morning about life and its journey. It is amazing while we are young that there are so many dreams in our hearts of the many jobs we might like to have or places we would like to travel. I know officially have done my job of getting my children through high school, but the hard part comes in encouraging each one to find his place in this world.
Find what you like to do because you will never work a day in your life. Well, that is easier said than done. I was fortunate enough that I did do what I loved. I LOVED being a mom. And though that does not stop for me I will always be a mom but my role is different now and all of a sudden I am in the same shoes as my children looking for a new identity to impact and influence my world.
As a parent all these years it is amazing how much I am like my mother. I enjoyed and encouraging my children and with each phase I understand my mom better. It is amazing how smart are parents are when we grow up, :).
So back to my original thought: my children are looking for their identity; I am looking for my identity now that I am no longer a mom of children in a home. And then it hit me, my mom was also searching for her new identity. Recently widowed, my mom is in search of who she is without my dad here on earth. Strange, yes.
We walk this earth in search of who we are and the search is continuous. It is in the journey that we must find peace and the ability to influence others and more importantly ourselves. That is not to say that we do not have struggles and obstacles along the way, we do, but it is through life that we find our purpose.
Are you looking for a little guidance on who you want to be when you grow up?
Use the A Plus strategies & I Own It principles to guide you.
I am excited to what I was studying this past weekend. I recorded a three minute review but I am still learning about technology online so I will share a written review.
I listened to a mentor Lisa Nichols. She did a podcast that shared her story and journey to becoming her best. She was a broke single mother who could not even afford diapers for her 8 month old. Years later as her success was in front of her she found herself engaged and looking forward to being married when she realized her fiancé was abusive. She then went to seek medical help and was diagnosed clinically depressed. She was so successful in her business, but her personal was in a mess. She asked the doctor, "You mean I am sad?" Yes! Part of her recovery came because she decided to ask herself three questions every morning. Initially she could not finish the statements without crying and without feeling like she was searching for any answer.
1. Look in the mirror and look in your eyes when you speak.
2. Use your name at the beginning of each statement.
Let me know how this makes you feel and hopefully after the initial of feeling awkward, incompetent, or whatever other feeling you have found a way to find a way to increase your personal happiness & confidence.
If you would like one on one coaching contact me directly.

Die Büste ist ein voll- oder reliefplastisches Bildnis oder eine Plastik einer in der Regel individuellen Person, das den "Kopf mit Oberkörperanschnitt" zeigt, oder allgemeiner eine "Darstellung eines Menschen, die nach unten durch Schulter, Brust, Leibes- oder Körpermitte […] begrenzt wird".

Etymologie
Die Etymologie des Begriffs lässt sich nicht weiter als bis ins 18. Jahrhundert, als er aus dem gleichbedeutenden italienischen Wort busto übernommen wurde, sicher zurückverfolgen. Ein Zusammenhang mit lat. bustum = "Leichenbrandstätte", ist wegen der Namensähnlichkeit vermutet worden, mit "Brust" oder "Busen" hat das Wort jedenfalls wohl kaum etwas zu tun.

Geschichte

Ältere Kulturen wie Babylonien oder Assyrien kennen die Büste nicht, auch in Ägypten ist die Büste der Nofretete ein Bildhauermodell und somit eine Ausnahme. In der Griechischen Kunst sind Büsten vor allem des Gottes Hermes in Form einer Herme bekannt. Die meisten "griechischen Büsten" sind jedoch Fragmente oder Teilkopien vollständiger Bildwerke. Aus etruskischen Anregungen erwuchs die hochentwickelte Kunst der römischen Porträtbildnerei. Aus der römischen Spätantike stammt auch der Typus der "Schildbüste"; bei ihr ist der Büstenabschnitt so in einen senkrechten, kreisrunden Rahmen gesetzt, dass der Dargestellte wie aus einem Rundfenster hervorschaut.

Das Mittelalter brachte seit dem 11. Jahrhundert Büstenreliquiare hervor, eine Ausnahmestellung nimmt unter ihnen der Cappenberger Kopf (vor 1158) ein. Büsten, die einen Typus (der Fürst, der Baumeister), nicht ein Individuum wiedergeben, schuf die gotische Bauskulptur. Solche Realitätsnähe schuf erst Peter Parler mit den Büsten am Triforium des Prager Veitsdoms. Doch Bedeutung bekam die Gattung Porträtbüste erst in der Renaissance mit dem Rückgriff auf die römisch-antike Porträtkunst. In Deutschland wird sie oft nur im kleinen Format realisiert. Erst im Barock kann man von weiter Verbreitung sprechen. Für Italien sind hier Pietro und Gian Lorenzo Bernini und Alessandro Algardi zu nennen, in Frankreich Antoine Coysevox und vor allem Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741–1828).

Natürlich hatte der Klassizismus eine besondere Affinität zur antiken Bildnisform der Büste, die nun auch auf Grabmälern und Epitaphen den Toten repräsentiert. Christian Daniel Rauch und Johann Gottfried Schadow gelten als die bedeutendsten Porträtisten dieser Zeit in Deutschland. Vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart sind unzählige Büsten in allen möglichen Materialien und Größen geschaffen worden.

Bedeutung
Seit den Anfängen sind Büsten Teil der Erinnerungskultur, sie haben oft Denkmalcharakter, drücken private Wertschätzung aus, stehen an den Stätten des Wohnens oder Wirkens eines bedeutenden Menschen oder dienen einer ideologischen Identifikationspolitik, wie dies die weltgrößten Monumente ihrer Art in Chemnitz (Karl-Marx-Monument) und Ulan-Ude (Lenin) überdeutlich machen. Diese überdimensionalen von einem Bildhauer geschaffenen Büsten von mehrfacher Lebensgröße werden auch "Kolossalbüsten" genannt.

Q: For a WordPress plugin, can composer's post-install-cmd script run from the toplevel WordPress install? I maintain a WordPress plugin, an ordinary plugin (not mu). When activated, it has one php file that needs to be copied from within the plugin's directory to WordPress's mu-plugins directory. (Long story.) When the plugin is installed and activated from the dashboard everything works well.
Now, I'd like to be able to support users who use php composer to manage their sites. This requires copying that mu-plugin file at the time of composer install or composer update. I put scripts in the plugin's composer.json file to do this. But they don't run when I reference the plugin from the toplevel WordPress composer.json file and say composer install.
They DO run correctly when I go to the plugin's own directory and say composer install after doing the toplevel install.  Is there a way I can get those plugin scripts to run from the toplevel composer install (or composer update)?
Here's what I have for scripts.
...
 "scripts": {
    "install-mu-filter": [
      "mkdir -p ../../mu-plugins",

The National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME) is accepting proposals for the 2018 annual meeting in New York City. The NCME annual meeting is co-located with the AERA annual meeting and highlights cutting-edge research on measurement in education. Within NCME, the Committee on Diversity Issues in Testing is seeking applications for coordinated sessions that address diversity issues, broadly defined, for special designation in the NCME program. If your research relates to educational measurement, please consider submitting a proposal to NCME.
The Call for Proposal Information has been pasted below for your convenience.
Specific Guidelines: Proposals for coordinated sessions must identify all contributors— author and presenter names should be included, not blinded. Proposals must consist of (a) a title for the session of no more than 12 words, (b) an abstract of no more than 200 words (for inclusion in the final program), (c) a summary of the coordinated session (in addition to the abstract) of no more than 1600 words, and (d) references, tables, and figures as appropriate. The Program Committee will reject proposals whose titles, abstracts, or summaries exceed the word limits—references, tables, and figures do not count toward the word limits. Organizers may use the 1600 words however they wish, for example, a conventional 4-paper symposium may have a 400-word introduction with four 300-word paper descriptions. Alternative formats should be clearly motivated and clearly described. The Program Committee will evaluate the contribution of these sessions against the contribution of more traditional coordinated paper sessions. Proposals should also identify a discussant/moderator where appropriate.
Nominate your coordinated session to be the NCME Diversity Issues in Testing Invited Session. The NCME Committee on Diversity Issues in Testing (CODIT) announces a new opportunity for all organizers of and participants in coordinated sessions. We encourage any coordinated session that addresses or reflects diversity issues in testing, broadly conceived, to nominate their session by selecting the "I would like this session to be considered for the NCME Diversity Issues in Testing Invited Session" option during the regular submission process. All such sessions will be reviewed and selected under standard procedures regardless of nomination status. However, nominated sessions will also be reviewed by the CODIT for distinction as the NCME Diversity Issues in Testing Invited Session, with prominent placement in the program. The NCME CODIT and the NCME Board hope that this encourages session proposals to incorporate and consider issues of diversity as they develop and present their research topics and findings.
Please contact the Chair of the CODIT, Lietta (Lee) Scott (Lietta.Scott@azed.gov) with questions about this opportunity!
For technical questions related to the submission system, please click the Support link located near the top left of your screen and next to the dashboard button.
All proposals must be submitted by 11:59 PDT August 1, 2017.

The Winklevoss twins have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for an investment fund based upon their substantial holding of bitcoin. The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust is sponsored by a company the pair created called Math-Based Asset Services LLC. The Winklevii (as they are known) hope to expose more investors to the potential gains (and losses) of bitcoin.
The S-1 form can be read in full here. The Winklevii told the New York Times in April that they had a portfolio of (at the time of writing) $11 million worth of bitcoin. That holding reportedly represents 1% of all bitcoin in circulation.
The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the Blended Bitcoin Price of Bitcoins, less the expenses of the Trust's operations. The Shares are designed for investors seeking a cost-effective and convenient means to gain exposure to Bitcoins with minimal credit risk.
Therefore, the Winklevoss proposition may serve to tempt in more mainstream and conservative investors to put their money into bitcoin. Helping bitcoin to gain acceptance is just what the Winklevoss twins seem to be working on. At the Bitcoin 2013 conference, they called for bitcoin businesses to work with their governments and stated that cooperation was the way forward.
The SEC filing goes on to explain that shares are purchased in blocks of 50,000 – known as "Baskets", that will be indivisible.
The Shares may be purchased from the Trust only in one or more blocks of [50,000] Shares (a block of [50,000] Shares is called a Basket). The Trust will issue Shares in Baskets to certain authorized participants (Authorized Participants) on an ongoing basis as described in "Plan of Distribution." Baskets will be offered continuously at the net asset value (NAV) for [50,000] Shares on the day that an order to create a Basket is accepted by the Trustee. The Trust will not issue fractions of a Basket.
The Trust will issue Shares from time to time in Baskets, as described in "Creation and Redemption of Shares." It is expected that the Shares will be sold to the public at varying prices to be determined by reference to, among other considerations, the price of the Bitcoins represented by each Share and the trading price of the Shares on the [EXCHANGE] at the time of each sale.
Later in the filing, the "Plan of distribution" explains that it allows "authorized participants" to receive Baskets in exchange for bitcoin on a continuous basis. The trust states that it will not issue fractions of Baskets as shares will be created on an ongoing basis. However, such authorized participants are free to sell any fraction of shares to their clients.
For example, a broker-dealer firm or its client will be deemed a statutory underwriter if it purchases a Basket from the Trust, breaks the Basket down into its constituent Shares and sells the Shares directly to its customers, or if it chooses to couple the creation of a new Basket with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for the Shares.
The filing also cautioned that it was not directly responsible fo the development of the Bitcoin network, and that "the sponsor and its management have no history of operating an investment vehicle like the Trust, their experience may be inadequate or unsuitable to manage the Trust".

This is where I teach class from. It's a jazzercise thing for us to be up on a stage. It allows our customers to see us better when we #movetothegroove.💃🏻.
There was a lot I had to do and learn to become a certified instructor, but this stage was the biggest obstacle for me to conquer. I'm not naturally a put-me-out-front kinda girl. But… I was at a point in life where I was ready for something new. Ready to set a goal to work towards. Ready to get out of my comfort zone, which is scary but fun once you get your mind on board. I was ready for a challenge.
That was almost five years ago. Since I made that decision, it has been life changing. Fitness became not only FUN but my job- a priority. I grew as a person. A lot. I gained a confidence that has helped me since in other areas of life and I have learned new things about myself. Good, good things can come from getting out of our comfort zones!

Philadelphia Jeweler Found Guilty Of Counterfeit Watch Trafficking
By Rob Bates | December 05, 2022
Dimitre Hadjiev, 41, owner of Philadelphia jewelry store Ice Fire, has been convicted of trafficking in counterfeit watches and failing to file proper paperwork related to the sale of those watches, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Hadjiev was indicted in September 2019 for allegedly buying and selling counterfeit Rolexes and customizing genuine Rolexes with counterfeit parts. The government also claimed that Hadjiev "structured" deposits to avoid fulfilling reporting requirements for cash transactions.
The Internal Revenue Service requires businesses file a Form 8300 for cash transactions over $10,000 within 15 days of that payment. The IRS guidelines for filing the forms can be seen here.
Among the government's allegations is that, after Hadjiev received $29,000 in cash for a transaction, he made two deposits: one for $9,900, the other for $7,250. Both were under the $10,000 threshold and were viewed by the government as an attempt to evade the reporting requirement. The total amount of money involved tops $750,000, according to the government statement.
The jury found Hadjiev guilty on four counts and not guilty on 15 others. Following his conviction, Hadjiev has been ordered to "cease all operations of business as a jeweler."
According to the Delaware Daily Voice, Hadjiev's celebrity clientele included boxer Floyd Mayweather and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.
"A jury of Mr. Hadjiev's peers confirmed what the government first alleged during the indictment: that Mr. Hadjiev trafficked counterfeit goods, laundered the proceeds, and structured deposits in an effort to avoid currency reporting requirements," said Yury Kruty, special agent in charge of IRS Criminal Investigations, in the government statement. "The Special Agents of IRS-CI and our law enforcement partners will continue to investigate and bring to justice criminals like Mr. Hadjiev who partake in schemes like this out of greed."
Hadjiev's attorney did not return a request for comment by the time of publication.

If you've always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world's most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous diving lifestyle. The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you'll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you'll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. The PADI Open Water Certification will certify you to dive to a depth of sixty feet. You may be able to earn college credit for the PADI Open Water Diver course!
Scuba Divers need to know and understand the basic principles of scuba diving and the effects it has on us. You can take this part of the certification online, Open Water Diver Touch or in a classroom. We pride ourselves in giving you the personal customized experience that you deserve and this is why we recommend the classroom option. We include the PADI Open Water Certification Crew Pack which includes a Textbook, DVD, Log Book, and Dive Tables or ERDPml.
Here is where you will use all of that knowledge you learned in the classroom. We have a privately heated pool onsite (seasonal) that we keep at 89 degrees so you can focus on learning how to scuba dive. We will teach you all of the skill necessary to scuba dive safely. We provide all of your dive gear except your personal gear (mask, snorkel, boots, fins, and gloves). Please see our Equipment Page for more information.
We will complete four Open Water Certification Dives with you. During these dives we will review all of the skills you have learned previously in the pool. We again provide all of your equipment except for your personal gear. We can even complete these dives while showing you some local Lake Michigan shipwrecks. If that isn't appealing to you we can do your certification dives at another inland lake. Site and charter fees are not included.
Students who only complete two Open Water Certification Dives earn the certification level of PADI Scuba Diver. PADI Scuba Divers can only dive under the supervision of a PADI Instructor or PADI Divemaster.
You need to float / tread water for ten minutes and be able to swim 300 yards with mask, snorkel and fins.
Includes Padi Open Water Textbook, Classroom Lectures, Pool Training, Four Open Water Certification Dives, Certification Card and Rental Equipment. Does NOT include Personal Gear (Mask, Snorkel, Boots, Fins and Gloves). Please see our Equipment Page. Does NOT include dive site fees or Charter Boat Fees.
If you would like to take the PADI E-Learning Online course, we will provide you with an access code. You will take your classroom sessions online at your leasure. When you have completed the online course, we will have a review and final testing at our facility. Please contact us if you would prefer this option so we can provide you with an access code.
You can track your dives using dive tables, a depth gauge and dive watch, but most scuba divers use a dive computer – it's easier. A dive computer provides the real-time dive information you need to dive well.A dive computer takes depth and time information and applies it to a decompression model to track the dissolved nitrogen in your body during a dive. Your computer continuously tells you how much dive time you safely have remaining. Your computer combines a depth gauge, timer and sometimes a submersible pressure gauge (SPG) into a single, useful instrument. The majority of divers have a computer because it makes sense.
This option includes your very own Deepblu Cosmiq+ Dive Computer!!


The lift powder when used with the activator creates a mask that tightens and tones the sub-dermal muscles deeply. The application process is simple but the effects are so dramatic with just one use for it reaches the sub-dermal layers of the skin allowing you to feel a subtle pulsating effect taking place. As the muscle begins to contract your skin naturally begins to tighten up and firm – even sagging skin around the eyes and neck are tightened instantly. Formulated to be used all over the face, neck, hands, and even sensitive eye area.
I love this product. It quickly made my skin look and feel firmer. Even the deep furrow between my eyebrows has diminished greatly. This is a keeper!


Erlang can load and run C libraries. This can be useful if you want to speed up parts of your code, or if you want to interact with some OS-specific features. These special C libraries are written specially to work with the Erlang VM, and can't easily be run in isolation without extra code. This makes these libraries difficult to debug. In this post, I introduce Erlang debug VMs, explain how to build them, and show why they can be tremendously useful for debugging linked-in drivers and NIFs.
Once you load and run arbitrary C code, the Erlang VM becomes very easy to kill.
There are so many great tools for debugging Erlang code (dbg, redbug, erlyberly, recon) as well as excellent tools for debugging C code (gdb, valgind, afl-fuzz). However, there is a bit of a shortage of good tooling for debugging C code that gets executed by the BEAM. There's niffy, which is a neat tool that acts like a reasonable subset of the Erlang VM, letting you load and call NIFs. Niffy and your NIF can then be run through something like afl-fuzz or your own test suite to try and uncover bugs. As far as I am aware, no such tool exists for Port Drivers.
I've gotten into the habit of building Erlang/OTP from source. This affords me more flexibility than using a package manager. One particularly nice thing about building Erlang from source is that you can compile debug VMs, modified BEAM binaries intended to be run inside of tools like GDB and Valgrind. This lets us debug any C code we've written that gets executed by BEAM. In addition, there is also a bonus set of GDB scripts called ETP which can pretty-print Erlang terms from inside of gdb! Debug VM binaries and ETP make the ordeal of digging through core dumps of crashed BEAM processes much easier, as you can poke around various parts of memory, and print the Erlang terms they correspond to.
If you want to build some debug VMs for yourself, the first thing you need to do is clone the Erlang/OTP git repository. (For managing software compiled from source, I highly recommend GNU Stow).
Here's the general workflow of building and installing Erlang from source, using the git repository. Please note that these commands are somewhat symbolic; if you copy and paste them into your terminal, they may not work.
Figure out which options I want from step 6.
We haven't built any debug VMs yet. Let's do that now. There are quite a couple of different VMs you can build. The ones I use the most are the debug and valgrind variants.
After this, you should have a shell script called cerl in $ERL_TOP/bin. This is the script to invoke when you want to run a special BEAM VM. Adding that script to your path will let you invoke a debug VM whenever you like!
Now that you have built debug VMs, and have cerl somewhere in your path, we can start the BEAM inside of gdb or valgrind using cerl -rgdb or cerl -valgrind. After that, you can pass arguments to the script as if you were passing them to erl.
NOTE: If you type cerl -gdb, the script will start Emacs to control your gdb session, which can be surprising!
I hope this inspires some of you to play around with Erlang debug VMs! There's a lot of great stuff to be discovered! In the near future, I hope to publish another post showing off some use cases of debug VMs!

Meetup: Building a culture of experimentation at Visa, Strava, and Tripping.com
Many of us look at top software companies and ask, "how can my company make decisions like Facebook, Amazon, Google, or Netflix?" Teams at these companies have implemented world-class technology platforms to enable every engineer, product manager, and data scientist to make decisions fueled by experimentation and backed by rigorous statistical analysis. But making experimentation
Robin Pam
Many of us look at top software companies and ask, "how can my company make decisions like Facebook, Amazon, Google, or Netflix?" Teams at these companies have implemented world-class technology platforms to enable every engineer, product manager, and data scientist to make decisions fueled by experimentation and backed by rigorous statistical analysis. But making experimentation successful is as much about culture as it is about technology. The top companies invest in people and process to ensure that cultural change takes root, and that data-driven decision making becomes the norm.
Getting to this point is a journey, and one filled with victories, setbacks, and challenges to overcome. On Tuesday, Optimizely hosted an A/B Testing Meetup and held an experimentation panel discussion with product managers, engineers, and data scientists from companies at various stages in their journey towards embracing a culture of experimentation.
"How can you bring experimentation to a company that has not had that as part of its corporate DNA from inception?" said Steve Urban, engineering manager at Netflix, who moderated the panel. Ramkumar Ravichandran, Director of Analytics and A/B testing at Visa, shared stories of how the financial services giant is adopting a test and learn culture, while Evelyn Cordner, Engineering Lead for Growth at Strava and Tyler Swartz, Director of Product at Tripping.com, provided perspectives from growing companies that have developed high-velocity experimentation programs with much smaller teams.
They shared their wisdom and war stories, and the key takeaways are captured below:
How to Effectively Evangelize an Experimentation Culture
Getting started with experimentation can be tough, even in a smaller company where everyone believes that testing is essential to building a great product. Getting going requires tenacity, buy-in at all levels, and a solid communication plan. Here's how Ram, Evelyn, and Tyler tackled getting started.
Ramkumar Ravichandran (Visa): Recruit an executive sponsor. You need someone who can provide support and keep the program alive, even when tests fail and you face internal resistance.
Evelyn Cordner (Strava): Sing the praises of the program. And sing your failures. Communicating about failure is as important as talking about success. "When a test succeeds, people expect that, and they don't always see why you would want to test instead of just rolling something out," said Evelyn. But when you talk about tests that don't work, people begin to realize that there's a huge benefit in preventing revenue loss.
Tyler Swartz (Tripping.com): Make testing fun. When Tripping.com began their experimentation program, they notified the entire company of every test, and people placed bets on which variation they thought would win. The CEO of the company would occasionally even take particularly good guessers out for a meal.
How to Get Engineers on Board
One challenge many teams face when getting started with experimentation is overcoming objections from engineering that running tests will slow down the team's velocity or distract from building new features. Some teams question the cost of developing experiences that ultimately may not be deployed to production. How do our panelists get buy in from engineering?
R.R (Visa): While Tripping.com and Strava adopted an experimentation mindset early on in their companies' journeys, Visa has brought test and learn culture to an existing engineering culture. For Ram, getting engineering on board with testing has meant helping engineers overcome the challenges of a tight release calendar and cumbersome bug fixing process. Ram's team uses experiments to deploy hotfixes, which generates goodwill with engineers and more support for running tests.
E.C. (Strava): At Strava, the engineering team started from a place of wanting to test, since engineers there own the user experience and are responsible for helping achieve business outcomes. For Evelyn's team, making things easy and lowering the cost of each experiment is the key to driving continued adoption across all of engineering.
T.S. (Tripping.com): Before Tripping.com began experimenting in their product, the team would often release code or features to production, see a change in key metrics, and then need to roll back quickly. They would try to determine which changes had caused the metrics to move by rolling back changes one at a time. Now that Tyler's team rolls out every new feature as an experiment, they can know in advance what changes their metrics. "We now avoid rollbacks, and that's helped our engineers buy in," he said.
How to Keep Up the Momentum
Our panelists' advice for long-term success? Keep at it, be patient, and dedicate the resources you need to be successful:
R.R. (Visa): Invest in the program for long-term success. After getting over initial concerns that the testing team would be a cost center, Visa now has a dedicated squad for testing, with analysts, technologists, and designers, and "test and learn is standard practice, whether it's on the roadmap or not."
E.C. (Strava): Embracing the culture change and ability to be more agile has been key for Strava's success. Instead of planning for 2-3 big app releases each year, the team now plans in smaller cycles and launches new versions of the app every 2 weeks.
T.S. (Tripping.com): Keep going after big wins. Tripping.com's product team now works on building testing into the product roadmap. They look ahead at what they can test, validate ideas before investing in fully building out a feature, and empower all product managers and engineers to build their own tests.
