Foundations, Grant Making and Asset Use
"Small" Philanthropy a Big Exponential Deal to Democracy
Rick Cohen
Rick Cohen will be liveblogging today from the conference of Exponent Philanthropy. Stay tuned for his installments.
When the thousand or so participants convene for the opening plenary of the Exponent Philanthropy national conference this morning in Washington, D.C., some might ask about the new name for the organization that used to be known as the Association of Small Foundations. Partly, the new name reflects a membership that is not only private foundations with few or no staff, but philanthropists working through a variety of giving vehicles—private foundations, donor advised funds, giving circles, and more.
Listening to Henry Berman, the Exponent Philanthropy CEO, describe the contours of his organization and its membership, the impression is less that Exponent Philanthropy is focused on the private foundation structure than on a type of philanthropic giving—for lack of a better term, a "debureaucratized" philanthropy. Berman describes the Exponent Philanthropy membership in qualitative terms:
"They are agile, close to the ground, and responsive to their community's needs. They are passionate and knowledgeable about the causes they choose to fund. Their giving is decidedly personal."
In an interview with the Cohen Report, Berman called his membership "lunchbucket philanthropists"—givers who certainly tend to be affluent but typically work "hand in hand with their grantees." In contrast to the inevitable top-down dynamic with larger foundations, Berman describes a more street-level philanthropy practiced by these thinly staffed individual and institutional givers. "Horizontal is the new vertical," Berman explained.
We see something else that we will be exploring today and tomorrow in interviews with participants at the Exponent Philanthropy national meeting: the value of "agile," "lean," "nimble" philanthropy—all terms that Berman uses. "Small funders who have the freedom to take thoughtful risks."
There are probably upsides and cautions to be considered, but some of the most historically important philanthropy of the modern era involved just this kind of giving. In a webinar held by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy last week on the philanthropic roles of foundations such as New World, Taconic, and Field in the early days of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, current New World Foundation president and CEO Colin Greer characterized these funders as "led by individuals who had the complete and total authority of their boards" with "no bureaucracies" so that they "could make overnight decisions."
In the webinar, Gara LaMarche of the Democracy Alliance, formerly with the Open Society Institute and with Atlantic Philanthropies, noted that these civil rights funders were generally smaller family foundations rather than large institutional funders, able to deploy small amounts of money at critical times as needed by civil rights leaders. Because these funders had personal relationships with the civil rights leaders, according to LaMarche, they were able to take their cues from them.
The critical question may be the need for small grants. They may be "uneconomic" for large funders who focus their grantmaking on nonprofits of significant scale, even to the point of turning down opportunities to fund smaller organizations because they cannot (in theory) absorb the larger grant amounts. Berman describes the critical role of small startup grants for nonprofits, which smaller funders can make available to new, young, riskier groups that may not be able to make it through the vetting of large foundations looking for significant track records and structures of their accountability due diligence. Working on the ground level, these small funders might not have—or even be all that interested in spending a lot of time on—the magic philanthropic elixir of metrics. Berman says that these small funders can be thought of as beta-testers—able to take risks, but unlike many bureaucratic foundations, able to "own" the mistakes and learn from them.
Making small grants as needed to launch and support programs of high risk means not getting bogged down with bureaucracy. In Exponent Philanthropy's latest Foundation Operations and Management Report, the median grant size in FY2012 was only $15,415, though the median grant size was higher for the larger foundations in the survey: $27,906 for foundations with assets between $25 million and $49.9 million and $36,513 for foundations with asset levels greater than $50 million.
Small grants from small foundations are not ideal, to be sure. In the NCRP webinar, Greer warned that small grants could simply "replicate inequality on the ground"—that is, provide inadequate resources to nonprofits that would get larger amounts if not for their support for unpopular causes, such as civil rights advocacy in the 1960s. Which larger institutional foundations are really going to take a dive into the risk of funding grassroots nonprofits that take on contentious causes and sometimes support unpopular constituencies? It's the small funders who will often pay attention to issues and places that larger funders seem wont to overlook.
This doesn't exempt small grantmakers from smart and accountable grantmaking. The onus is still on them, no less than large foundations, to opt for general operating support grants rather than narrow, project- or program-restricted grants. They shouldn't be nickel-and-diming grantees on their administrative overheads, especially if the grantmakers are concerned about nonprofit sustainability. Those small grants from small grantmakers ought to be opportunities for donors to help grantees link up with other funders and leverage funding that they couldn't have gotten otherwise.
The horizontal philanthropy that Berman describes is exemplified in the histories of several small foundations. One is the Lia Fund, a small West Coast foundation that recently sunsetted after devoting its grantmaking to climate change, holistic health, and community arts. With grants largely in the $5,000 to $25,000 range, the Lia Fund provided general operating and multi-year grants to nonprofits that focused on trying to promote systemic change. A retrospective report on the fund highlighted qualities that fit the small grantmaker dynamic lauded by both Berman and Greer:
One of Lia's advisors underscored the importance of being nimble: "For small grants—lightness, speed, and keeping costs down should be a primary value. We had a value for acting quickly when necessary and became very good at moving money to projects that really needed money now."
Emphasizing risk-taking and the ownership of setbacks, the report quoted an advisor who said, "If you're going to be a risk-taking organization you have to have equanimity about the fact that you sometimes fail in life as well as succeed. If you let fear of failure stand in the way, you'll just make a lot of really safe grants. Right to the end, we wanted to make very cutting-edge and innovative grants."
To Lia's credit, it was consistent in providing general operating support grants unless grantees specifically asked otherwise. The report concluded that general operating multi-year grants "enabled organizations to achieve their goals more effectively." Both general operating and multi-year grantmaking allowed grantees to "devote time and resources to program activities rather than fundraising…[and respond] to changing community priorities rather than obligations incurred by funding proposals written the previous year."
Lia's grantmaking was only $5 million between 2007 and 2013, but a look at the list of Lia grantees indicates many organizations that were unlikely to get much attention from larger institutional foundations for their often challenging, hardly mainstream programs. But that is what a small funder, if open to a community's nonprofit creativity, can accomplish and do well.
The challenge to the philanthropists attending the Exponent Philanthropy annual meeting is not simply one of whether they are functioning as nimble and responsive grantmakers, but whether they are using those characteristics to be attentive to the major issues of the day that are rending our society apart. The Lia Fund, despite small funding, is an example of a small funder willing to address societal issues like climate change. Are the Exponent Philanthropy funders going to be similarly attentive to issues of race, inequality, and violence?
Are these funders prepared for such issues as the social disruption in Ferguson? Berman said that for these funders, "It's almost too late to be thinking of what philanthropy should be doing, but what are we doing to avoid the future Fergusons of the world." In a special exhibit of 40 Exponent Philanthropy member foundations titled "Hall of Outsized Impact," hopefully there will be philanthropists presented demonstrating how their nimble and agile grantmaking takes on the underlying issues that are evident in Ferguson and in so many communities, in which these small funders, through their ability to provide grants quickly and personally, can make a difference in the social dynamics that many larger foundations simply cannot address through their more cumbersome bureaucratic procedures.
Rick joined NPQ in 2006, after almost eight years as the executive director of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP). Before that he played various roles as a community worker and advisor to others doing community work. He also worked in government. Cohen pursued investigative and analytical articles, advocated for increased philanthropic giving and access for disenfranchised constituencies, and promoted increased philanthropic and nonprofit accountability.

CECIL HURT: Alabama can add to already strong recruiting class
Nick Saban, in the midst of preparing his football team for a College Football Playoff semifinal game, was also playing the numbers game Wednesday.
That was natural, since National Signing Day at Alabama under Saban is almost always involves one sort of numbers crunching or another, whether it is maximizing the scholarships available under NCAA rules or whether it is simply determining whether Alabama has a No. 1 class in the SEC or nationally. Saban doesn't pay attention to rankings but he does pay attention to talent.
This year's class is No. 1 by all of the services who do such rankings. That could be No. 1 with an asterisk since the February signing date is still out there. However, Saban, now the unquestioned voice of college football programs, proclaimed rightly that in its second year, the "early" signing period has become the signing period and the old February date has become an instant anachronism.
That doesn't mean Saban isn't thinking about February, too. Alabama released an official list of 23 signees Wednesday, and he immediately cautioned the reporters present not to "do your calculations and scare off everybody we are going to try and sign in February. We still have spots."
The "23" total also included running back Trey Sanders, the highly-recruited IMG Academy standout who committed to Alabama live on ESPN with an accompanying prediction that he would win the 2019 Heisman Trophy. For some reason — maybe he was checking on airfare to New York next December — his paperwork did not arrive before the end of the business day. His paperwork is official as Alabama announced late Wednesday night that Sanders is a member of the 2019 signing class.
If Alabama does have 24 signees heading into the February signing period, chances are the Crimson Tide would tighten its grip on the No. 1 spot rather than lose it. UA has a commitment from Mississippi lineman Byron Young, who is waiting to sign, and is thought to be in good position with five-star defensive tackle Ishmael Sopsher. It's a long six weeks until Sopsher plans to sign and LSU will fight with tooth, nail and boat oar to keep him in-state. But if he ends up at Alabama, you will hear the arguments that this is Saban's "best class ever" — something that cannot be quantified for at least a couple of years — ring out loudly.
There was one other number that slipped slyly into Saban's remarks. That was "five." He was asked about quarterback signees Paul Tyson and Taulia Tagovailoa, both part of the class. Saban gave them ample signing-day praise and then added that having four quarterbacks — Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones being the others — was good.
"We should have at least four quarterbacks on scholarship, he said. "Five is OK, too."
Would five include Layne Hatcher, added to the roster late last summer? Or could it be someone else currently on the roster?
Saban didn't expound on the statement. But on a day where the richest got richer, you'd have to wonder if anything could be ruled out.

Jesus birth was prophesied in the Old Testament many times. Isaiah was one of the major prophets and this verse is one of the better known prophesies.
The book of Isaiah was written 700 years before the birth of Jesus and fulfilled in Bethlehem when Jesus was born to a young virgin named Mary.
The name Immanuel means "God with us" and refers in this prophesy to what people would call Him, not His actual name. Jesus is called many things, Prince of Peace, Wonderful, Lily of the Valley, Savior, King of kings and many more.
As we celebrate His birth this year be thankful we can look back in scripture and know that this prophecy has been fulfilled.

Q: Windows Clipboard function crashing when assigning null terminator In my function to copy text I do the following:
    // Allocate a global memory object for the text.
    hglbCopy = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE,
        ((text.length() + 1) * sizeof(WCHAR)));

    if (hglbCopy == NULL)
    {
        CloseClipboard();
        return;
    }

    // Lock the handle and copy the text to the buffer.
    lptstrCopy = (LPWSTR)GlobalLock(hglbCopy);
    memcpy(lptstrCopy, text.c_str(),
        (text.length() + 1) * sizeof(WCHAR) );
    lptstrCopy[(text.length() + 1) * sizeof(WCHAR)] = (WCHAR) 0;    // null character CRASHES HERE
    GlobalUnlock(hglbCopy);

When I copy a large chunk of text, it crashes when assigning the null terminator. Is there something wrong with my math in calculating how much memory to allocate?
Thanks

A: You don't have to assign the null terminator yourself.
If you want to do it yourself do it like this:
((WCHAR*)lptstrCopy)[text.length()]=L'\0';

How Love Is Spelt revival probes the ABC of romance at Southwark Playhouse
Anne Cox | May 20, 2019 | News | No Comments
She wanted spontaneity, adventure … I said I can be spontaneous … I just need a little bit of time to plan.
The first major revival of Chloë Moss's fascinating and funny play How Love Is Spelt is set for London's Southwark Playhouse this September.
This nostalgic and honest meditation on love and relationships from Susan Smith Blackburn Prize-winning playwright Chloë Moss (This Wide Night, Soho Theatre; Dickensian, BBC), was first produced and performed at the Bush Theatre in 2004.
It will be directed by Charlotte Peters (associate director War Horse UK Tour and An Inspector Calls West End).
Set in 2004, How Love Is Spelt tells the story of Peta, who's new in town and ready for whatever London has to throw at her.
She's looking for romance, for friendship, for exciting people to lead her on big adventures. But being an independent woman in the new millennium isn't easy, especially when there's a constant reminder of the life you're trying to escape.
With each new encounter, Peta flirts with what might have been, but has the journey to London put enough distance between her and her past?
How Love Is Spelt will run at the Southwark Playhouse from September 4 – 28.

Canadian Building Intentions Surged Higher In February, Boosted By More Housing
Canadian building intentions surged higher as the economy became more dependent on construction. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows building permits surged higher in February. The optimistic rise for the industry is still mostly for the construction of new housing. However, a big (but temporary) boost resulted from rising government spending as well.
Canadian Building Permit Values Surge 21% Higher
Future building intentions climbed across Canada recently. The value of permits reached $12.4 billion in February, up 21.0% from the month before. It's miles over the previous peak, but only 2.2% higher than the March 2021 peak when inflation adjusted. Inflation has played a significant role over the past year, which is obvious when charted.

Residential Building Intentions Are Getting Stronger
Residential real estate is still the majority of building activity, but not as much as usual. Building intentions for homes increased to $7.8 billion in February, up 9.8% from the previous month. It was boosted by a recent surge of single-family home building intentions. Now that households will move outside of big cities, they finally have demand.

Non-Residential Building Intentions Boosted By One-Off Projects
Non-residential, commercial and institutional buildings saw a large uptick recently. Permits for this segment reached $4.9 billion in February, up 43.2% from the previous month. Non-residential building hasn't seen a boost like housing did over the past few years. Stat Can attributes the boost to $1.9 billion in new hospital permits issued in BC and Quebec. Not exactly a sustainable boom, but a non-residential one — so it's a start.
Building intentions across the country are up significantly, especially for non-residential construction. The boost was largely temporary, and not exactly a long-term change. Residential building on the other hand, is getting stronger with more housing demand. Though rising interest rates can slow down buying activity in just a few months.

You're correct; Construction is the only economic trick the country has—$ Billions sitting idle in homes and very little going into innovation and long term jobs/careers. Every construction site is a temporary job, where workers limp away after age 40.
The big question will be, "Who will afford the homes built when the workers can no longer afford to carry a mortgage or pay the rent"? Currently, investors and banks see housing as an easy mark, promising ever-increasing prices. For those competing on the global stage, it isn't so easy. Talent and low-cost producers still win on the international stage.


A small Central American country between Costa Rica and Colombia, it packs a surprising amount of diversity into a small area. With two coastlines (the Pacific and the Caribbean), it is a beach lover's haven, but also offers wildlife-rich rainforests and spectacular mountain scenery. Combine Panama's varied landscapes with the range of indigenous cultures and urban life, and one begins to understand why it is an emerging tourism destination.
Panama, like most of Latin America was a Spanish colony, and remained under Spanish rule until 1821. It then voluntarily joined Colombia, only becoming fully independent with the support of the US in 1903. The United States' interest in the small country is directly related to the construction of the Panama Canal, an entity which remains influential today, affecting Panama's economy on numerous levels.
Considered one of the most important transport routes in the world, the canal is a money spinner for the country, thanks to the taxes extracted from cargo ships passing through it. It is also a great tourist attraction in Panama City, and has indirectly contributed to Panama City's status as a growing financial centre.
Panama City, the country's capital, is home to the majority of the country's population, with 430 000 people calling it home. The city skyline is dominated by glistening skyscrapers, although the well-preserved old town is also a tourist draw. The city has a fast-paced raw energy, and mixes 21st century modernity with a chaotic Latin American edge. Outside the city though, it is still easy to stumble upon traditional Panama, with the Guna Indians one of the most notable indigenous groups in the country. There are various locations up and down the country where visitors can learn about the Guna and other indigenous groups, as well as what life is like for rural Panamanians.

NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio today announced that as part of Vision Zero and with warm weather in the forecast, the NYPD and the DOT would begin a new safety campaign aimed at motorists and motorcyclists, whom crash data show drive more dangerously on warmer spring weekends. This Saturday's weather forecast calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s.
Warm Weather Weekends: Officials were spurred to action by the events of April 29, 2017: In a year that was the overall safest-ever on New York City streets, that Saturday was the second deadliest day of the entire year. The first warm weekend day at the end of an unusually cool month, April 29th was sunny with a high temperature of 87 degrees. In a number of different serious crashes around New York City that day, many of which involved speeding, 4 New Yorkers lost their lives and 204 were injured.
The average number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) in traffic crashes on weekends starts to rise in March and peaks during June. In April, the weekend KSI rate is 28 percent higher than in January/February.
The danger in the spring is most pronounced for motor vehicle occupants and motorcyclists: on warm weather Saturdays and Sundays in April, the KSI rate for drivers and car occupants is 41 percent higher than the winter weekend rate. For motorcyclists, the KSI danger on weekends rises by 88 percent.
Data appear to show that higher KSI rates on warmer spring days are limited to Saturdays and Sundays. On weekdays, DOT data show that the average number of KSI annually during April warm weather weekdays is only 4% higher than the January/February winter weekday rate.
In response to this data, NYPD and DOT will this weekend initiate season-specific efforts to deter reckless behavior to keep all New Yorkers safe. Officials will remind drivers that they should continue to obey the speed limit, slow down, turn slowly and yield to pedestrians. Drivers should expect heightened enforcement, from NYPD Highway Patrol and local precincts, each of which now has its own speed detection equipment.
"As the weather warms up, residents and visitors will want to enjoy everything lower Manhattan has to offer," said Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou. "Lower Manhattan is a walking neighborhood, and there's a lot to experience here on foot. From local shops on the Lower East Side to restaurants in Chinatown, it's important that both pedestrians and motorists have a safe experience as the weather gets warmer. Thank you DOT and NYPD for raising awareness of this issue."
"We are all very much looking forward to enjoying the warmer weather, and brighter and longer days, but the importance of traffic safety never changes," said Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez, chair of the Council Committee on Transportation. "We must continue the progress we have made in reducing traffic fatalities and enhance tools we have applied to further our efforts in specific types of traffic fatalities. I thank the work of the NYPD and the DOT to ensure this campaign is a success."
"We're all excited to get outside this weekend and hit the road, whether on two wheels, four wheels, or two feet. Unfortunately, warm-weather weekends also inspire reckless behavior behind the wheel," said Alec Slatky, Manager of Government Affairs for AAA Northeast. "DOT and NYPD deserve credit for honing in on this specific problem and creating a plan to tackle the issue. This type of analysis and data-driven enforcement is essential to continuing the decline in traffic fatalities. Enjoy the beautiful Saturday, but do so responsibly – for your sake and for everyone else on the road."
Last year was the fourth consecutive year of declining traffic deaths under Vision Zero, with the fewest-ever overall traffic fatalities citywide, driven by a 29 percent one-year decline in pedestrian fatalities. As part of the initiative, DOT implemented its most aggressive street redesign safety program, with increased investment in street redesign and traffic-calming measures citywide. Unfortunately, even with historic fatality declines, 2017 was marked by increases in both motorcyclist and motor vehicle fatalities – trends that Warm Weather Weekends is designed to address.

Melon (MLN) is one of many cryptocurrencies designed to cash in on crypto assets. To clarify, crypto asset is a catch-all term for any equity or security trade through the blockchain.
Melon (MLN) is associated with Melonport AG; a private company, which is developing what it calls an "an asset management computer." In detail, an asset management computer is a blockchain platform that will manage assets.
The basis of the platform is the Melon protocol which will facilitate transactions between investors and exchanges. Interestingly, the transactions will move through the Melon fund.
I believe the most interesting aspect of Melon (MLN) is its governance.
Surprisingly, Melonport AG is scheduled to be dissolved in February 2019. To explain, the Melon team plans to hand management of Melon over to a group called the Melon Council.
The governance handoff is supposed to occur when version 1.0 of the Melon Protocol is available. In detail, the council is composed of the Melon Technical Council and Melon Exposed Business (MEB) representatives.
In particular, the Technical Council is composed of experts who are supposed to be highly-skilled and "conflict-of-interest" free. In addition, the MEB representatives will include fund managers, investment advisors, and other users of the Melon protocol.
I am skeptical of Melon because fund managers will have a huge conflict of interest. To clarify, fund managers' pay can be based upon the number of shares they sell.
The major purpose of Melon (MLN) is to create blockchain-based investment funds similar to mutual funds, hedge funds, and exchange-traded funds.
Thus, a major goal at Melonport is to build a decentralized infrastructure for funds. Investment funds can be an extremely lucrative industry. The American mutual fund industry held assets worth $18.75 trillion in 9,356 funds in 2017, Statista estimates.
Additionally, Australia's superannuation funds; or super funds, held $2.7 trillion in assets in June 2018. Moreover, Australians contributed $34.1 billion to super funds in the June 2018 quarter, The Association of Superannuation of Funds of Australia calculates. To explain, super funds are retirement funds every Australian has to contribute to.
Will the Melon (MLN) Crypto Assets Work?
Hence, there could be a huge market for Melon's crypto assets technology. However, both Australian super funds and American mutual funds are highly regulated.
I do not think financial regulators will let fund managers use a technology created by a murky Swiss company. Notably, Melonport AG is based in Zug, Switzerland. Thus, officials will fear Melon as a money-laundering scheme.
On the other hand, there could be a huge market for Melon (MLN) in countries that lack retirement mechanisms like America's Social Security. This includes nations like China and most Latin American countries.
Will Melon (MLN) be banned?
To explain, in most countries individuals are on their own for retirement. If they have no money saved people either work until they die or starve. Under those circumstances, something like Melon could provide retirement income for middle-class professionals or small business owners.
Beyond retirement, an obvious use for Melon will be protecting the assets of middle and upper-class people from seizure by authorities. For instance, a business owner in Argentina could use Melon (MLN) to send his savings to Switzerland.
Consequently, authorities in many countries will try to ban the Melon crypto assets. In particular, politicians and bureaucrats will fear its use for tax evasion.
I guess financial regulators will only allow Melon's use if they could control the Melon Technical Council. Hence, regulators will have access to the technology which means no privacy.
How valuable is Melon (MLN)?
Melon has a lot of potential value despite the potential legal problems. For instance, Melon (MLN) had a Coin Price of $4.89 on 13 December 2018.
Additionally, Melon achieved a Market Capitalization of $3.805 million and a 24-Hour Market Volume of $9,129 on the same day. CoinMarketCap reported a Circulating Supply of 778,238 MLN and a Total Supply of 1.002 MLN on 12 December 2018.
Impressively, Melon claims to have raised 2.5 million Swiss Francs ($2.51 million USD) in a February 2017 initial cryptocurrency offering (ICO). Hence there is strong market interest in Melon and its products.
Importantly, there is no no-known connection between Melon; or Melonport AG, and the American bank BNY Mellon (NYSE: BNK). Importantly, BNY spells Mellon differently with a second l.
To clarify, the name Mellon in BNY Mellon comes from the Mellon Financial Corporation. The corporation was a Pittsburgh bank founded by Thomas Mellon in 1869.
The Mellon Financial Corporation disappeared in 2007 when it merged with the Bank of New York. In particular, that merger created today's BNY Mellon which is a major payment processor in the United States. In addition, BNY Mellon is reportedly exploring opportunities in the cryptocurrency markets.
Is Melon (MLN) a good Cryptocurrency?
The cryptocurrency market gives Melon (MLN) some value because it is traded at CoinSwitch. To explain CoinSwitch is a popular cryptocurrency exchange aggregator.
Trading at CoinSwitch demonstrates market demand because CoinSwitch only lists altcoins that are actually being traded. Hence, I like to check CoinSwitch when I investigate a cryptocurrency.
In addition, Melon (MLN) is an Ethereum-compatible cryptocurrency. Thus MLN can be converted into Ethereum Request for Comments or ERC tokens like ERC20 tokens. Moreover, MLN can be quickly converted into the third-most popular cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH).
On the other hand, I could not find Melon (MLN) in Bancor's liquidity Network. Bancor (BNT) is designed to provide liquidity and fast conversion of Ethereum and ERC tokens.
The Melon crypto assets will need fast conversion and liquidity to reach a mass market. Importantly, Bancor is now offering similar conversion and liquidity for EOS (EOS) based tokens.
I have to be skeptical of any altcoin for investments whose creators are not participating in efforts to ensure liquidity. In addition, failing to convert to EOS (EOS) means Melon (MLN) is not taking advantage of a cryptocurrency whose creators claim to have solved the blockchain scalability problem.
The speed and capacity of many blockhains are limited because of all the encryption. For instance, Ethereum reputedly handles less than 20 transactions a second. Thus, Ethereum applications and smart contracts could not handle all the transactions required by a popular mutual fund.
On the other hand, EOS investor and Wall Street bigwig Michael Novogratz claims EOS's blockchain can transmit up to 5,000 transactions a second. However, Novogratz is not presenting proof to his claims.
I think Melon (MLN) is an interesting cryptocurrency because it seems to have some use in real-world financial transactions. However, I have serious doubts about Melon's potential legality and utility. Thus it will be wise to limit speculation in MLN until the Melon Protocol is available and the utility of the crypto assets has been demonstrated.

Big Architecture for CEOs
Written by John A. Zachman on Thursday, 08 October 2015. Posted in Zachman International
We've been having a great GovEA Conference this year- no shortage of good speakers, exhibits and vendors.
I had the distinct pleasure of introducing my long-time friend and colleague, Scott Bernard who has been the U.S. Federal Chief Enterprise Architect for the last several years.
Scott was gracious enough to come to my 80th Birthday Gala in Universal City last year to speak to a room of folks who who came there to celebrate.
As usual, it was great being with him, however I wanted to make a comment on something he said during his keynote address at the conference.
I've been saying for a long time that Enterprise Architecture should be about just that: ENTERPRISE Architecture. For the most part, I never get any pushback about that concept, however because of the sheer amount of inertia that has made EA all about building IT models, it is difficult to get people to change their behavior.
I've also been saying for some time, that Enterprise Architecture should be the way to get at solving General Management problems and in that, to be able to store the "primitive" (enterprise knowledgebase) assets in order to diagnose enterprise (General Management) problems and present prescriptive alternatives, moving the whole architecture discipline from that of a trade to a profession (click here for that discussion). I don't care if the problem is revenue production, product innovation or application rationalization... any typical "pain points" that Executives face daily.
Scott said something very interesting in his keynote address: he used the term "Big Architecture," and stated that "Big Architecture looks at the whole Enterprise in all aspects." He followed it up with a discussion about getting EA in front of Executives and thus validating that we don't need more models in EA, but a profession that actually adds value to the Enterprise. In essence, Scott was talking about "Big Architecture for CEOs."
There are many of us who understand that this is precisely the original intent of Enterprise Architecture, however I thought this "re-branding," if you will, might be coming at a good time and just also might be a very good way to encapsulate the benefit that Enterprise Architecture actually has if we can get it in front of the right people.
We have found time and time again, that the CEOs who embrace the ideas of Enterprise Architecture, or "Big Architecture," are able to move with agility through the high rates of complexity and change that characterize today's environment.
Thanks to Scott for his many years of contributions to this community and for the continued push to let the world know that Enterprise Architecture, or more appropriately "Big Architecture for CEOs," contains many of the answers that so many are searching for.

Parc Clematis is a premium luxurious condo with penthouse suites located at Thomson Road.
Its smallest unit are 2 bedrooms and the largest units are Penthouses.
To get around town, the nearest MRTs are Novena and Toa Payoh. The Arte is a 16 minute drive away from Singapore's shopping belt. This allows the developer to price this luxury condo at an attractive rate. A luxurious condo such as this built in the city would be over budget for most.
The ARTE has 2 blocks, blocks 21 and 23.
Here's a break down of the units available.
Next, we have The ARTE's luxurious penthouses.
There're a few types of Penthouses available, all of which are fairly priced. If you pay more, you get a suite that is on a higher level and bigger.
The best suite is Penthouse type PHG1, a 4051sqft luxury penthouse. It has 3 stories, inclusive of 1 roof garden. One good thing about this penthouse is the junior suite on the 1st floor that has its own bathroom. Going up and down the stair case is difficult for senior citizens. This extra room is good for families that have elderly who find it more convenient staying on the ground floor.
– if you have parents living with you, then consider the 4 bedrooms. The ARTE has some spacious quarters here that will not disappoint.
Popular units are often snapped up quickly. Smart buyers often try to find out when the private launches are because the best units are transacted, bought, sold in real time before the actual launch. If you are privy to this information, you can sometimes get the best units at a cheaper $10-$25 psf, which can add up to paying $40,000 less for your favorite unit!

This year, two Northwest credit unions will leverage Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Program awards to uplift their communities by increasing access to affordable financial products and services. The U.S. Treasury's CDFI Program is designed to build the capacity of these financial institutions, enabling them to grow lending and investment activity in low-income and economically distressed areas nationwide.
The Treasury recently announced the 2017 awards, which will provide funding to 265 organizations, including 55 credit unions.
The Northwest credit unions that received this award were Harborstone Credit Union in Lakewood, WA, and Lewis Clark Credit Union in Lewiston, ID.
The funding will help the credit union expand its collaboration with Sound Outreach, a Tacoma nonprofit. Specifically, the grant will be used to provide a variety of new products designed in conjunction with Sound Outreach to meet the needs of Pierce County's low-income consumers, and increase the volume of Harborstone's current consumer lending products.
The award also will allow the credit union to employ two staff members at Sound Outreach's linked social service agency site. These dedicated loan officers will deploy Harborstone's existing products and its new Sound Outreach financial products, which are designed to meet the needs of low-income consumers. These products include credit builder loans, subprime auto loans, and payday lending alternatives.
"Our team is honored to have been chosen to receive this grant, which will have a tremendous impact through our partnership with Sound Outreach and help further the mission we've undertaken to develop and deliver financial empowerment products and services to our underserved communities," said Phil Jones, President/CEO of Harborstone Credit Union.
The full list of CDFI Program awardees is available here.

China's Domestic Insurgency
by raffaellopantucci | Jul 24, 2014 | Monitor
New piece for my institutional home RUSI, looking at Xinjiang again. Been travelling in the region, so more to come soon.
RUSI Analysis, 23 Jul 2014
By Raffaello Pantucci, Senior Research Fellow
Five years on from the most lethal rioting seen in China for decades, Beijing has still not managed to refine its strategy towards Xinjiang. Problems in the province increasingly resemble a domestic insurgency needing a comprehensive preventative approach.
The 2009 Urumqi riots marked a watershed for Beijing's policy towards the region. Largely ignored by the capital as a backwater that was ruled over by strongman governor Wang Lequan, the scale of the riots in Xinjiang obliged then President Hu Jintao into the embarrassing situation of having to leave a G8 Summit in Italy to come and take charge of the situation. In the wake of the rioting, numerous senior security officials in the province were sacked and a year later the 15-year provincial head Wang Lequan moved back to Beijing. At around the same time in 2010, the government announced a new strategy towards Xinjiang, focused heavily on economic investment and developing the province's trade links with Central Asia.
Four years on from launch of this strategy, the violence and problems in the region continue. Once largely contained in the southern part of the region (the part that is still predominantly Uighur, the Turkic ethnic minority resident in Xinjiang who chafe under Beijing's rule) and mostly focused on attacking symbols of the state, anger from Xinjiang is now expressing itself in brutal attacks on civilians in Beijing, Kunming and Guangzhou. In April and May incidents took place in the provincial capital Urumqi involving bombs and targeting of random crowds at a market and train station.
It is unclear the degree that the violence in the province is being orchestrated from outside China. So far the evidence offered by the Chinese government seems to suggest that the connection with outside groups is focused on people within the province consuming radical online material produced by extremists outside the country.
Beyond this, the strongest tangible evidence of connections between outside China and the trouble in Xinjiang seems to be focused around the repeated incidents of Uighurs reportedly trying to flee the country and coming into trouble either at the border or once outside. In late January, eleven were killed in Kyrgyzstan in a mysterious clash in which a group of Uighurs confronted border guards. In March a group of some 200 Uighurs were found in Thailand. Claiming to be Turkish, they demanded repatriation to Turkey, only to be discovered to be Uighur and claimed by the Chinese authorities. Then in mid-April a group of Uighurs were caught crossing into Vietnam, only to attack the Vietnamese border guards trying to repatriate them.
Heavy Security and Investment
China's security forces are clearly uncertain as to how to deal with this problem. The security focus is on hardening public security, with armed police being deployed in major cities, vigilance being increased among public workers at sensitive sites and heavier security checks on public transport. In Urumqi, there is a pervasive security presence and reports from the south of the province suggest an even more robust display of strength and counter-clashes there. The government has focused heavily on curbing radical material online and persuaded the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a multilateral regional body linking China to Central Asia, to focus its efforts on countering online radicalisation and the dissemination of extremist material.
At a more strategic level, in June the government held a second major work conference on Xinjiang, with a major conclusion that the current approach of heavy economic investment was not ample to resolve the problems. President Xi has spoken of increasing regional ethnic integration and improving educational attainment in the province. He also highlighted the importance of religious tolerance, of focusing on economic benefits reaching minorities in the province and other messages that seemed to suggest a desire to push beyond the traditional dual track approach of economic investment paired with the heavy hand of state security. Whether these messages are getting through on the ground is not always clear, however, with stories circulating of authorities in the province telling officials they could not fast during Ramadan – something that seems at odds with a tolerant approach to religion. It is also not clear that the approaches towards affirmative action in terms of companies in the region hiring minorities is new, with similar proclamations having been made before.
Deepening Disenfranchisement
Rather, indications from the ground (in terms of attacks or reports of people trying to flee) and discussions with locals in the capital Urumqi suggest that many Uighurs continue to feel alienated from modern China. None of this excuses the sort of actions like the savage attack in Kunming, but it does show a deep disenfranchisement clearly exists among China's minority Uighur community.
There is a need for China to offer an appealing alternative to its Uighur community and to develop a strategy that gives people a sense of belonging within the modern Chinese state. Doing this is not an easy prospect, but it is clear that the current approach is not bearing fruit. The Chinese leadership in Beijing is clearly starting to think in this direction: something highlighted by the President's comments in June, but this has not translated into effective action on the ground.
Five years on from the most violent rioting to face China in years, Beijing is still seeking a solution to its problems in Xinjiang. Other countries with similar problems have faced them for decades before they are able to manage them into a less menacing form and for China a negative outcome is not an option. It seems likely that China is going to face an equally challenging struggle to resolve Xinjiang's troubles.

Technodinamika, Rosoboronexport to promote domestic parachutes in external markets
21.07.2021 Press release
On July 20, 2021, during the MAKS-2021International Air Show, Technodinamika JSC and Rosoboronexport JSC, both are subsidiaries of the Rostec State Corporation, signed programs to jointly promote airdrop equipment and research and development activities in external markets. The signing ceremony was attended by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov, Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov and Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov.
"Technodinamika is Russia's flagship developer and manufacturer of various parachute systems. The holding company carries out the full cycle of development, from research to manufacturing, testing and modification. Today, the Russian Army is 97% equipped with Technodinamika-produced parachutes, they are used in the armed forces and special forces units of the CIS countries, the Middle East and Rosoboronexport's key partners on the African continent. The joint promotion program will enable us to strengthen Russia's positions in this segment in the markets of 24 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and the CIS," said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of Rosoboronexport, who supervises the Yaroslavl and Saratov regional branches of the Russian Engineering Union.
The joint action program, signed during a solemn ceremony at Technodinamika's pavilion, implies that the holding's airdrop equipment, designed to equip special forces units of various law enforcement agencies, rescue parachute systems required for emergency abandonment of military aircraft and helicopters, as well as braking landing systems used to shorten the landing distance or rejected take-off distance of combat (combat training) aircraft, will be promoted in external markets.
In addition, Technodinamika and Rosoboronexport will promote training facilities, parachutist training centers and special simulators intended for classroom training and practical exercises of parachutists and paratroopers, including emergency drills. Such facilities can be made for any type of parachute, with their help it is possible to practice group jumps using controlled parachute systems, emergency situations, including failures, under any weather conditions.
"Technodinamika's parachute systems meet international standards and surpass foreign counterparts in many respects. A number of the holding's competencies and capabilities are unique. So, Technodinamika is the sole holder of the authentic documentation for brake parachutes used on all Russian- and Soviet-made aircraft, which means that only our systems are licensed. I am sure that with the support of Rosoboronexport, we'll be able to strengthen our positions on the international market," commented Igor Nasenkov, Director General of Technodinamika Holding, who supervises the Ulyanovsk and Penza regional branches of the Russian Engineering Union, a member of the bureau of the League for Assistance to Defense Enterprises.
Another document signed by Technodinamika and Rosoboronexport at MAKS-2021 is a program for promoting research and development activities carried out by the holding's enterprises for foreign customers.
"Industrial partnership is a leading trend in the global arms market. A number of Rosoboronexport's strategic customers see further development of our cooperation precisely in building up the high-tech component, and we are ready to cooperate on the topic. The company carries out hundreds of technology transfer projects and has vast experience in implementing such contracts in various forms. These are licensed production of Russian products abroad, assistance in the construction of special facilities in foreign countries and joint development of prototypes with foreign customers," Alexander Mikheev added.

I ran into one of these cameras in a used camera shop this weekend for $254 in e xcellent condition. Is this a good camera and what is its track record ? It was made in 1947 from a Los Angelos company and the camera is a 4x5 view camera made of aluminum, steel and brass. Does the cast aluminum base tend to break after m uch use ?
As far as the New-vue, I don't know what grade of aluminum it's made of though I assume a pretty high grade because it's cast. Rails are tube steel, a magnet told me so, as are the tubes for lens board. I've confidence in the base. Given a New-vue and a Wisner bump into each other, as folk wisdom has it: if the New-vue bumps into the Wisner or the Wisner bumps into the New-vue, either way it's bad news for the Wisner. This model of mine has a revolving back; the back swings and tilts, but it doesnot rise or fall. Bellows, collapsed, measure 4 inches from back to front.
I have a five inch lens, Paragon. So at infinity focus I found myself limited on the movements, and I made a bag bellows. However, I'm new to this business, and a elder statesman of the photography business told me that after focusing at infinity to run the lens 1/3 of the way back out before stopping down and shooting. (Does anyone know if this is so?) And if I followed his advice then I would have movements. Max extenstion of bellows, with the extension rails on, is about 350mm, I think.
I don't see any reason not to use any lens that works, Componon or whatever. I wonder what kind of shutter your lens is screwed into, and I also wonder if the rear element of the lens is foreward of the shutter, and if this creates any pincushioning or barreling effects. Not that any of this effects would stop me from using the lens if they did occur. I'm just wondering because I know where an old Kodak 135mm enlarging lens is. Is the front element of this lens of yours perfectly flat? I think the possiblities for doing some interesting photo to neg. copy work would be great.
Anyway, what I know about LF photography could be put in a very thin article.
With regards to contact printing from the 4x5, my luck hasn't been all that great. Sometimes it seems to work, and sometimes it doesn't. I would like to know if there is optimal paper for this. You always hear that contact prints are suposed to be better than enlarged prints; however, my experience doesn't bare that out. I'm not ready to give up on the technique though. I'd be interested in a few recipes for good 4x5 contact prints.
Focal legth and LFs, it's beyound me. The New-vue seems just too compressed at infinity with my 5"/127mm. So, I don't know if this camera was designed with or for a 7" or what. The 5" lens came with the Speed-vue I have; this camera doesn't have that middle piece which the large focusing screw of the New-vue has. The Speed-vue therefore can collapse more. Then the max exstension of the Speed-vue is 10" which places the 5" at 1:1. So, I infer the S-V is designed with the 5" in mind as range is effectively from 5" to 10". But I don't know what the larger New-vue was setup for, maybe 6"???
The bellows on both my cameras was of the same material. I think that it's an early naugahide(I dont know if that spelling is right). I found pretty good match at the local auto-appolstry shop. I bought some to make a bag bellows from, but still at 5" I'm into the rear stops, period. The bellows on the Speed-vue made a little noise when I got it, but I worked Armoral into them; they are light-tight, and it works fine. Man at the appolstry shop said naugahide was light- tight, and you can seam it easy with contact cemement. That's what I know about bellows. Vacum them out. Extend your bellows to max. Remove the rotating back; just remove or back off the upper and lower thumb screws. Take the back off, and vacum it out. I can't believe how much dust and dirt I removed from the folds of the bellows. Don't overlook this area. My New-vue has seen exstensive service somewhere, and structure is good as new.
I got mine for $40 in the local photo store. The space for the model on the label is blank, so I am not sure what kind it is.I have a 203 optar on it, and with the front standard all the way out, and the focus about a third out, it will do infinity. I wish I had extention rails. Mine has full movements, but they are pretty clumsy, and hard to lock. The knobs just aren't large enough and are hard to grip. The stiff bellows add to the problem of locking the movements. It's a good camera, McBrooms lists it at $140 i think, so $250 is outrageous.

EdgeConneX®, Comcast Business, Datapipe and Megaport Partner to Bring the Cloud Local to Boston Enterprises
Collaboration Provides Direct, Local Access to AWS Direct Connect, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, Simplifying Enterprise Migration to the Cloud
Herndon, VA – July 26, 2016 – EdgeConneX®, specializing in global data center solutions at the Edge of the network, today announces that it has entered into an agreement to facilitate the availability of direct cloud connectivity to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform within its Boston Edge Data Center® via the deployment of Megaport's SDN-based elastic interconnection fabric. With this new offering, Datapipe and Comcast Business will offer localized cloud migration services to ease enterprise adoption and simplify network connectivity to the cloud.
Datapipe, a leading global managed hosting and cloud services provider, will offer Boston-based cloud integration services, facilitating and managing local enterprises through the appropriate migration to public and hybrid solutions. Comcast Business, which offers Ethernet, Internet, Wi-Fi, Voice, TV and Managed Enterprise Solutions to help organizations of all sizes transform their business, is offering its direct and private Ethernet services to the EdgeConneX Boston Edge Data Center (EDC) and will be training its vast sales team to speed enterprise adoption of hybrid cloud services. Megaport, the pioneer in elastic bandwidth services, will provide its elastic interconnection platform, which enables on-demand, highly reliable, scalable and private direct connections to leading Cloud Service Providers. As a Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute connectivity partner, Amazon AWS Direct Connect partner and Google Cloud Platform Carrier Interconnect partner, Megaport makes it simple to directly connect to cloud services with right-sized capacity.
This collective partnership results in the availability of a cloud ecosystem that makes Boston one of the most effectively and efficiently connected markets in the world for handling the complex needs of IT organizations as they continue to advance their use of the cloud and take advantage of its many benefits. Previously, cloud connectivity investments of this magnitude were only found in a few global core markets leaving the majority of enterprises outside of those geographies without an ideal solution.
"It's amazing that a top-five enterprise market relies on services hundreds of miles away for critical IT infrastructure," remarks Clint Heiden, chief commercial officer, EdgeConneX. "Effective cloud solutions, and thus adoption by enterprises, depends on reliable, fast and secure connectivity. Furthermore, an effective hybrid implementation is still one that is local to the customer. Boston marks our third roll out of local cloud services, following the May and June announcements of Portland and Detroit, respectively. We plan to continue rolling out these services across our entire global EDC footprint."
The Internet of Everywhere requires a highly diverse and distributed content and cloud architecture, with the network Edge extended beyond traditional major peering hubs to ensure the service quality and experience expected by today's enterprises and consumers. According to the Cisco Global Cloud Index (GCI): Forecast and Methodology, 2014–2019 White Paper, network latency is a critical factor in cloud adoption and limits the use of advanced services in the cloud. "Reducing delay in delivering packets to and from the cloud is crucial to delivering today's advanced services and ensuring a high-quality end-user experience," the GCI stated.
"Boston enterprise growth is on the rise with the city's high-tech sector growing nine percent every year since 2010," comments Robb Allen, CEO, Datapipe. "EdgeConneX has built a compelling multi-cloud ecosystem around their data center facilities to meet this increase in demand. Datapipe's experience in migrating, optimizing and managing IT infrastructure can help enterprises take full advantage of this ecosystem."
The EdgeConneX Boston EDC is optimized to offer security, speed and performance improvements. These innovations enable customers to deliver digital content, cloud and applications to end-users as fast as possible. Edge Data Centers are proximity-based, strategically located nearest to the end-user's point of access to reduce network latency and optimize performance. Local proximity access also brings the cloud closer to the enterprise, enabling more secure, real-time access to cloud applications and services while offering reduced backbone transport costs.
"Until recently, cloud services were consumed on-demand while connectivity to those cloud services remained static and fixed," explains Denver Maddux, CEO, Megaport. "Megaport enables enterprises to deploy on-demand capacity that is right-sized and reliable. We're excited to support this initiative to enable Boston businesses with a powerful set of tools to unlock next-generation cloud architectures."
"Our extensive Boston network has direct on-net access to thousands of enterprises," states Steve Walsh, vice president for Comcast Business in Greater Boston. "This broad reach allows us to offer reliable Ethernet services that can meet virtually any business demand. Having a local cloud offering in Boston adds a tremendous solution for us to bring to our customers and further highlights how Comcast Business is keeping pace with the growth needs of the market."

This delicious vegan chocolate cake is incredibly moist and has a light coconut frosting.
Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Release the bases of two 20cm springform pans and invert. Line each bake with baking paper, letting the sides overhang. Secure in the pan and grease the sides.
Sift the flours, sugar, cocoa, bicarb and a large pinch of salt into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the combined oil, coffee, vinegar, vanilla and 430ml (1 3/4 cups) water. Use a large metal spoon to stir gently until smooth and combined.
Divide mixture evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until cakes are springy to a gentle touch in the centre. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing the sides and bases and removing the baking paper. Set aside to cool completely.
Open the chilled cans of coconut cream and scoop the thick cream from the top, leaving the liquid part in the can (It will be about half the can. Reserve the liquid for another use.). Place the cream in a bowl and add the icing sugar and vanilla. Use electric beaters or a stick blender to blend until thick.
Place 1 cake on a serving plate and spread with half the frosting. Top with the remaining cake and spread with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut.
If you don't want such a large cake you could halve the ingredients and cook it in one pan. If not serving immediately, store cake in the fridge.

Jerry Seinfeld & Bobcat Goldthwait Have Been Beefing For Years — Here's Why
Entertainment And News
By Bernadette Giacomazzo — Written on Oct 05, 2020
On Bridget Everett's episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, a certain comedian's name was "bleeped" out when mentioned to the show's host, Jerry Seinfeld. It seems a bit of a strange thing to do, of course, and only served to make the comedian even more notable than he was before. The comedian has since been revealed as one of John Belushi's friends, Bobcat Goldthwait.
Let's look at what we know about the Bobcat Goldthwait Jerry Seinfeld feud.
Who is Bobcat Goldthwait, the comedian who was bleeped out?
1. He is friends with Bridget Everett and John Belushi.
This long-time feud came back into the spotlight when Bridget Evertt's episode of Netflix's hit show, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, aired.
The duo was discussing the death of legendary comedian John Belushi, and during the discussion, Everett mentioned a comedian whom she's friends with, who was also Belushi's best friend. Seinfeld, in response, said the comedian had a "stupid voice" and "sucks" at his job.
Later in the episode, Everett and Seinfeld stop by a psychic shop; this psychic mentions a "longtime feud" with a comedian. Seinfeld mentions the name again, and it's bleeped out again.
2. Bobcat Goldthwait has taken shots at Jerry Seinfeld before.
Back in 1995, Bobcat Goldthwait gave a free-form interview to a local Washington state paper, The Spokesman Review. In this interview, he took a hard shot at Jerry Seinfeld, who was dating a teenaged Shoshanna Lonstein at the time.
"Here is this creepy Scientologist guy (dating) teenage girls — which I don't care about one way or another. What I find creepy is that people are convinced he lives in that apartment, and those are his wacky friends. They don't like each other; they're actors paid to pretend they like Jerry Seinfeld. He's a weird guy. But everybody thinks he's normal and I'm weird," he told the outlet at the time.
No doubt that Jerry Seinfeld heard about this diss at the time, and probably carries a grudge about it to this day.
3. Reddit users uncovered the Bobcat Goldthwait Jerry Seinfeld feud.
Reddit users quickly figured out that Jerry Seinfeld and Bobcat Goldthwait were feuding, and it was Goldthwait's name that was "bleeped" out.
Fans of the show started a Reddit thread speculating about the identity of the "bleeped out" comedian in question. It didn't take long for people to deduce that the comedian in question was Bobcat Goldthwait.
"As others guessed, Bobcat Goldthwait. Despite the bleep you can see it's a two-syllable last name. "Stupid voice" comics still alive who active in the Jim Belushi era limits things pretty sharply, and Everett has done stuff with BG recently," wrote one commenter.
"It definitely seems to be Bobcat, but why was Jerry SO agitated? Was it really that comment from 1995? That's some ancient history! Jerry said there was a more recent "article in the paper" where the person in question made a veiled jab at him. I was curious and searched for it, but couldn't find any jabs — veiled or otherwise," wrote another.
4. Bobcat Goldthwait isn't the only comedian that Jerry Seinfeld had a beef with.
The rumors in the so-called "comedy community" abound about all of the comedians that Jerry Seinfeld has a beef with. One such comedian was Anthony Jeselnik, who actually made clear that despite his rumored beef with Seinfeld, he was not the comedian in question whose name was bleeped out.
After my own investigation, I am pleased to announce he wasn't talking about me," he said on his official Twitter account.

5. Goldthwait took a potshot at Jerry Seinfeld recently, too.
These days, Goldthwait is more known for being a director than he is a comedian and an actor. However, in a recent interview with The Baltimore Sun, he took another potshot at Jerry Seinfeld, too, which is perhaps why Jerry Seinfeld bleeped out Bobcat Goldthwait's name in his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
"I watched that Jerry Seinfeld movie about stand-up (Comedian). I don't know, man. Sitting around with a bunch of guys, slaving over a new 'clapper' joke? For God's sake. People are gonna think all comics are crazy, because here's a guy with $450 million, bummed out because he can't get laughs at an Improv. Crazy! 'Dude, if it bums you out, don't go on stage. You've got $450 million. You can pay these people to clap," he said to the outlet.
6. Bobcat Goldthwait is one of the most beloved comedians of our time.
Per Flavorwire, regardless of whether Bobcat Goldthwait has a beef with Jerry Seinfeld — and, frankly, regardless of Jerry Seinfeld feels about Bobcat Goldthwait — he's still considered a legend.

"It's worth remembering, however, that there are plenty of performers like Goldthwait who understand the difference between censorship and a negative reaction from the public. Many even mine that understanding for comedic value; Andy Kindler's annual State of the Comedy Industry address, delivered last month at Montreal's Just for Laughs festival, took aim at Seinfeld," reported the outlet.
That pretty much sums it up.
7. Goldthwait was recently in a car accident.
According to Fox News, Goldthwait and fellow comedian Dana Gould were injured in a two-vehicle crash pulling up to a gig in Atlanta. Both were taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries.
The comedians' driver was at fault for driving on a suspended license and failing to yield. Here's hoping everyone is okay!
