High Income Inequality as a Structural Factor in Entrepreneurial Activity
Antonio Lecuna Universidad del Desarrollo
Keywords: Entrepreneurial activity, income inequality, institutions, Gini index
Statistical tests on a panel of data from 54 countries over the 2004–2009 period support the proposition that high income inequality and entrepreneurial activity share a positive linear relationship. In a novel approach, the dependent variable is defined from two independent and uncorrelated perspectives: (1) the World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Snapshot, which measures new business entry density based on secondary official sources; and (2) the Total Early Stage Entrepreneurial Activity of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project, which is a survey-based measure of formal and informal entrepreneurial participation rates. The empirical strategy is based on the logic that economies with increasing concentrations of wealth tend to encourage entrepreneurial activity because entrepreneurs accumulate more income than workers. Following the disequalizing model, once this inequality appears, it is reinforced in successive generations. The intuition behind this outcome is that a certain level of initial capital is required to establish a new enterprise, which implies that the probability of becoming an entrepreneur increases if an individual has inherited wealth.

An approximation of the findings titled "Is high-income inequality the price that has to be paid to foster entrepreneurship?" was presented at the 8th Iberoamerican Academy Conference held in December 2013 in São Paulo.

Ethereum Upgrade and Blockchain Identity Solutions Progress, SEC Addresses Digital Asset Custody, Data Published on ICO Penalties and Crypto Crimes
By Jordan R. Silversmith, Robert A. Musiala and Veronica Reynolds on November 13, 2020 Posted in Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, ICOs
• Ethereum 2.0 Moves Closer to Launch, Blockchain Identity Solutions Announced

Ethereum 2.0 Moves Closer to Launch, Blockchain Identity Solutions Announced
After having launched last week, the deposit contract for the newest upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum 2.0, now tops out at over 50,000 ETH, equivalent to over $22.5 million, which is one-tenth the way toward the threshold needed to activate the update. The deposit contract, a cornerstone of the Ethereum 2.0 update, is a bridge for major change in the Ethereum network. Rather than maintaining the traditional proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm as its foundation, Ethereum 2.0 is intended to help the Ethereum network migrate away from PoW and toward a new technical infrastructure based on proof of stake (PoS). Once Ethereum 2.0 is triggered and goes live, early investors of Ethereum on the new network, or "stakers," will reportedly begin earning block rewards at an estimated rate of 8 percent to 15 percent annually.
A collection of Spanish firms, including banking giants and energy firms, recently announced the development of a new "self-managed" digital identity system founded on blockchain technology. The group, named "Dalion," said in an announcement that the mobile device-enabled ID platform will allow users to have more control over the ways their personal data is used. The group mentioned likely use cases including car rentals, insurance and loan applications, and sign-ups with utility providers. A proof-of-concept trial found the solution works "satisfactorily," and while a second phase launches this month, there has been no word on when the platform will be released to the public.
A Japanese e-commerce giant recently announced that a blockchain platform is being integrated into the company's online travel booking subsidiary. The integration of the platform means that customers can opt in to use the platform's self-sovereign identity app and access bookings at more than 600,000 hotels and 200,000 rentals, according to an announcement. The blockchain-powered platform will reportedly allow customers to store and exclusively access travel documents in one location and eventually use cryptocurrencies to pay for bookings. The integration is scheduled to go live within the next two weeks.

SEC Addresses Digital Asset Custody, Crypto Firms Achieve Licenses/Certs
By Robert A. Musiala
This week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff of the Division of Investment Management, in consultation with the Staff of the SEC's Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology (FinHub), published a statement addressing the recent letter by the Wyoming Division of Banking that gave a trust company authority to provide custodial services for digital assets, "including virtual currency and digital (tokenized) securities" under Wyoming law. The SEC statement encourages interested parties "to engage with the Staff directly on the application of the Custody Rule to digital assets, including with respect to the definition of 'qualified custodian' under the rule." The SEC statement also calls on interested parties to submit comments to the SEC on the topic of the "Custody Rule and Digital Assets" and provides a list of topics that the SEC is interested in discussing with industry participants.
According to reports this week, cryptocurrency custodian Anchorage recently received a SOC 1 Type 1 certification from a Big Four professional services firm. The SOC 1 Type 1 certification is an independent attestation of Anchorage's internal systems and controls. Another report this week noted that Texture Capital has received its broker-dealer and alternative trading system licenses from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The licenses are a key step forward in the firm's plans to launch a marketplace for trading private securities issued on blockchain networks

Crypto Fraudster Sentenced, Data on ICO Penalties and Crypto Crimes Published
Last week, a software engineer formerly employed at a major tech firm was sentenced to almost a decade in prison for 18 federal felonies related to an attempt to defraud his former employer of more than $10 million. The scheme involved the engineer using his role at the company to steal "currency stored value" (CSV), including digital gift cards, and reselling the CSV online. The sentencing may have been influenced and more severe due to the fact that the man fraudulently used email addresses associated with his colleagues in an attempt to cover his tracks, as well as a bitcoin "mixing" service in an effort to hide the source of the funds that were directed to his bank account.
The SEC recently reported that in 2020 it collected around $1.26 billion in penalties from enforcement actions against unregistered initial coin offerings (ICOs), the majority of which was collected from Telegram. And abroad, the Canadian Revenue Agency is seeking judicial intervention to force cryptocurrency exchange Coinsquare to relinquish more than seven years of client data in an effort to trace tax gains received by Canadians who failed to report such gains to the agency.
A recent report by Crystal highlights that fraud and cybersecurity issues continue to proliferate in the cryptocurrency industry. The report details "security breaches, fraudulent activity, cyber-terrorism, and scams" related to cryptocurrencies between 2011 and 2020, noting 113 security attacks and 23 fraudulent schemes, which have resulted in approximately $7.6 billion worth of stolen crypto assets. Of that amount, $2.8 billion is attributed to theft resulting from security breaches and $4.8 billion is from scams.

Fall weddings in South Florida are a wonderful, beautiful experience for many reasons. From the gorgeous weather to the sandy beaches, South Florida remains a wedding hotspot year-round. Many brides come to South Florida for destination weddings because the beautiful weather remains warm, which allows many brides to escape from their chilly hometowns to enjoy some beautiful paradise on their special day. Many brides like to give the gift of destination to their guests, allowing them to escape their own chilly hometown weather.
Even though the weather stays warm and sunny during the Fall season in South Florida, Fall styles are embraced in wedding design. Gorgeous South Florida venue, The Woman's Club of Coconut Grove, is a vintage style venue with beautiful rustic elements, making this charming venue perfect for a Fall wedding. The Woman's Club of Coconut Grove's magnificent oak trees and natural wood floors and ceiling beams lend itself to the rustic, muted tones of Fall.
With beautiful rustic elements creating the perfect backdrop for a South Florida Fall wedding, The Woman's Club of Coconut Grove radiates Fall romance throughout every wedding that takes place at this gorgeous South Florida venue.


Why did Glasgow win the right to host the Technology Strategy Board's £24 million Future Cities Demonstrator? Project Leader Scott Cain reels off a set of doom-laden statistics: a looming crisis in affordable warmth; a high incidence of anti-social behaviour; a shocking 28-year life expectancy gap between rich and poor neighbourhoods. Oh, and good city leadership, the kind that's up to hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Poverty, conflict and inequality rarely figure in the "smart city" visions of those who seek to sell infrastructure dressed as "technology".
I've railed against these things before. At Future Everything in Manchester on Thursday the chorus was deafening.
… it was abundantly clear that nobody likes a smart arse, even when it's a city.
To frame problems in terms of efficiency is to miss the point of what it means to be a city, a platform for people's numerous, contradictory drives and dreams.
But if not that, then what?
As Dan notes, the interventions that make us smile, that feel intuitively right, like Helsinki's Restaurant Day or Silje Johansen's lonely traffic light, are fleeting and leave no trace but memory.
Dan urges us to consider the power of engaging with the "dark matter" of local administrations and building codes.
Despite its unpromising name, I also found some answers in a session titled "Building Creative Ecologies for Smarter Cities".
I loved Claire's suggestion that if you want to be part of a network it's "best not to have all the bits" – for example not having an art gallery on-site at the Watershed had prompted collaborations with surrounding galleries and venues.
On the same panel was Doug Ward, co-founder of Tech Hub Manchester in a listed warehouse in the city's Northern Quarter. Referencing Brad Feld's "Boulder thesis", he listed the reasons he chose to stay as an entrepreneur in his home city: its history, universities and culture.
My take-outs: Endurance is greater than scale; diversity more valuable than efficiency; and actors are what matter, the networks will follow.

Report: Morning-after pills don't stop implantation
By Elise Viebeck - 06/05/12 07:02 PM EDT
"These medications are there to prevent or delay ovulation," Dr. Petra M. Casey, an obstetrician-gynecologist at the Mayo Clinic, told the paper.
"They don't act after fertilization."
Birth control has become a hot political topic since the Obama administration announced this spring that under its 2010 healthcare law, insurance plans will need to provide birth control coverage to women without a co-pay.
Religious organizations loudly objected and have sued, arguing that the new coverage rule forces employers to tacitly endorse the use of birth control in all its forms — including emergency contraception (EC).
But scientists told the Times that studies have not established that EC affects implantation. Instead, the pills delay the ovulation that tends to precede fertilization. Some also prevent sperm from swimming freely.
"The implantation idea stems from the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision during the drug-approval process to mention that possibility on the label — despite lack of scientific proof and objections by the manufacturer of Plan B, the pill on the market the longest," the report stated.
A spokeswoman for the FDA acknowledged that "emerging data" suggest Plan B, the leading morning-after pill, "does not inhibit implantation."
"Less is known about ella. However, some data suggest it also does not inhibit implantation," Erica Jefferson said.

The humble and great Forerunner
by Bishop Milan Lach
I would like to say a few words about St. John the Baptist, a humble person and great saint, who lived his life close to Jesus Christ. Many people thought he was the Messiah, but he told them, "I am not the Messiah… I am 'the voice of one crying out in the desert, "Make straight the way of the Lord'" (Jn 1:20,23). As Scripture says, John "was not the light, but came to testify to the light" (Jn 1:8). For this reason, our tradition gives him the title of "Forerunner" to underscore his preparatory role.

Bishop emeritus leads retreat on penance, growing in Christ
by Dr. Susan Gallagher
CAREY, Ohio — Retired Bishop John Kudrick of Parma led the Seventh Annual Women's Retreat at the Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation, March 15-17, on the theme "How Does Penance Heal?" Retreatants prayed Small Compline, the Akathist to the Mother of God, a Panachida and Vespers. They celebrated Divine Liturgy and had quiet time for private prayer and reflection. Bishop Kudrick gave the didactic sessions on the role of penance in the life of a Christian. Firstly, he said, Christians must be with Jesus. Christians must stand still and listen to Jesus, as did the Apostles on Mount Tabor, surrender to his plan, then act accordingly. READ MORE.

West, who was baptized at St. Michael Byzantine Catholic Parish in Merrillville, received the Bishop Andrew Grutka Award for Christian Service, conferred to the senior at Andrean High School who "best exemplifies a deep faith and commitment to serving others in little ways and in large ways, one who is motivated by their faith to serve others."

Bishop, former pastors join faithful in marking parish anniversary
by Deacon Robert Cripps
PARMA, Ohio — Holy Spirit Parish celebrated its golden anniversary on Pentecost, the parish patronal feast day, June 9. Fifty years earlier, June 15, Father Lawrence J. Slavik and a group of parishioners from Holy Ghost Parish in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland celebrated the first Divine Liturgy in the new church building for Holy Spirit Parish at 5500 W 54th Street in Parma. The celebrant was the newly consecrated Bishop Emil Mihalik, the first bishop of the Eparchy of Parma. READ MORE.
Holy Spirit, come dwell in us
by Bishop Milan Lach, SJ
We are celebrating Pentecost today. As we heard in the first reading (Acts 2:1-11), the room was filled with wind and tongues of fire appeared above each Apostle. They began to speak in different languages and they went out to Jerusalem to proclaim the Gospel. Jesus promised his Apostles the Holy Spirit. Who is this Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus, who gives life to everyone who is open to it. How do we receive the Holy Spirit? Through the holy sacraments in our life. READ MORE.
Nuns give Lenten teen retreat inspired by Holy Land pilgrimage
by Mother Cecilia Hritz
PARMA, Ohio — Fifteen teens from several parishes attended the annual ByzanTeen Lenten Day of Reflection at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Palm Sunday, led by the nuns of Christ the Bridegroom Monastery and Bishop Milan Lach, SJ, of Parma. Inspired by their pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2017, the nuns led the teens in an interactive "pilgrimage" to various prayer stations they set up in the cathedral and on the cathedral grounds that represented different sites in the Holy Land that are significant in Jesus' journey to the cross, his death and resurrection.

BURTON, Ohio — The nuns of Christ the Bridegroom Monastery celebrated the 10th anniversary of their founding April 3, thanking God for providing the means to live out their call to prayer and hospitality within the Eparchy of Parma.

The purpose was to treat people by providing doctor visits, medication and dental work. Her main responsibility was triage. The team would see between 200 and 300 people per day, she said. READ MORE.
Catholics, Orthodox must unite against 'culture of hate,' pope says
by Junno Arocho Esteves Catholic News Service
BUCHAREST, Romania (CNS) — In an increasingly globalized world where technological and economic developments have both benefited and excluded many, the Catholic and Orthodox churches must learn to listen to each other and walk together, Pope Francis said. Meeting with Romanian Orthodox Patriarch Daniel and the Permanent Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church May 31, the pope said both churches must "go out and engage" with their flocks who fall prey to the uprooting of "traditional values and weakening ethics and social life" that "leads to attitudes of rejection and hate."

Pope beatifies seven Eastern Catholic bishop martyrs
BLAJ, Romania (CNS) — The memory and witness of Romania's martyred bishops are a reminder that Christians are called to stand firm against ideologies that seek to stifle and suppress their cultural and religious traditions, Pope Francis said.

We are beginning our pilgrimage in Rome in thanksgiving for the 50th anniversary of the Eparchy of Parma and also to pray for our eparchy and its faithful. We will be in blessed and sacred places in Rome that are connected with our faith and with our Byzantine Catholic Church, with our identity. You are certainly tired right now, but you can offer up this tiredness for our church. To be pilgrims is not easy. It's not a trip, it's a pilgrimage. READ MORE.

Students learn recipe, theology of Communion bread
by John Trompak
CLEVELAND — The Eastern Christian Formation students from the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. Mary Parish and Holy Spirit Parish had a hands-on experience of making prosphora, the bread used for Communion, and an up-close presentation of the rite of preparation. Father Marek Visnovsky, pastor and administrator of the three parishes, brought all the ingredients for the prosphora recipe and a batch of dough that was already rising to a Saturday morning class, held at the cathedral. Students received the prosphora prayers, which they prayed together. He pointed out the correlation between Jesus being referred to as the "Bread of Life" and his birth in Bethlehem, a name that means "house of bread." READ MORE.

This week is Digital Cities Bristol – an exciting week if you're living in Bristol looking to get a job in the creative industries. Organised by the BBC and supported by Bristol Media and Business West , this brilliant initiative offers a whole week of free open-door events and talks from a range of creative businesses in the city, giving people a unique insight into their working life and environment.
The creative industries are very broad and incorporate many different disciplines, including advertising and marketing, publishing, design, TV and film, photography, arts & culture and much more. And then there are the many different roles within each discipline.
It can be difficult to know which area you want to focus on when there are so many options. Broad courses, like foundation courses, can help you to start getting an understanding for different disciplines, allowing you try a bit of everything before deciding on which avenue to pursue.
How to get your foot in the door of creative industries?
saintnicks uses a variety of recruitment methods, including local advertising, promoting through their personal networks and professional networks such as Bristol Media, as well as dipping into their own pool of CVs that have been sent in 'on spec'.
Contact local businesses – introduce yourself and find out if they need help with anything. Always do your research into the company first to show initiative.
Don't be afraid to bang on doors – it can be a thankless task but be a bit pushy (but always polite) to show you are determined.
Get work experience – "The best thing I did was forgo a few weeks' holiday to do work experience at different creative agencies," says Luchia Bennett, Senior Account Manager.
What personal attributes are you looking for?
People who can generate ideas – Steve explains that he doesn't just want good designers, they must have ideas and understanding too.
Creativity – even though not all roles in the agency are design-based, they expect everyone to have a 'creative vocabulary'.
Self-motivation – you have to be able to work independently and have a willingness to learn.
Energy and enthusiasm – you need to be passionate about what you do and enthusiastic about the ideas you come up with.
Good communication – often you will need to work through your ideas together with the client, so relationships are super important in agency work.
It can be tough to get doors to open when you don't have the right experience or qualifications on your CV, but the team had some great advice for novices to improve their credentials and demonstrate self-motivation.
Free Google courses via the Google Digital Garage – guides you through everything from social media to search engines, and you even get a certificate at the end!
Google's Academy for ads – another useful tool from Google that shows you how to create successful Google ads.
Facebook Blueprint – earn official Facebook certifications and badges with Blueprint exams.
Second, develop your own 'passion projects'. Luchia explains that she built up her content marketing skills off her own back when she started a personal blog. She learnt how to set up ads, went to blogging events and built her personal brand with content marketing skills she taught herself. It showed that she had initiative outside work, which was really useful in her next job interview.
What advice would you offer young people looking to get a job in the creative industries? Or if you are job-hunting at the moment, what challenges have you come up against? Tell us in the comments below, or tweet us at @Ambitiouspr.

Burke will watch this Masters from afar
By Sam Weinman
HOUSTON -- Like the azaleas bordering the 13th hole, 87-year-old Jackie Burke is a colorful Augusta National perennial who in retirement was accustomed to showing up and blooming at just the right moment. As the oldest living Masters champion, Burke enjoyed teasing some of the younger players, regaling other legends at the Champions Dinner and signing autographs for "people who see me in my green jacket and squint at me, wondering if I'm somebody famous."
This year Burke will watch the Masters on TV at Champions Golf Club, the famed club he co-founded with Jimmy Demaret in 1957, the year after Burke won his only Masters by roaring from eight shots behind in the final round to overtake Ken Venturi. Burke won the PGA Championship the same year. He isn't feeling the usual magnet-pull to return to Augusta, citing a small decline in his extraordinary energy level after suffering a mild stroke 18 months ago. But there's another, more poignant reason. "All my friends are gone," he says. "Sam [Snead]...Tommy [Bolt] and a hundred other guys I knew have passed away. The last time I went, I felt like I hardly knew anybody. We move on in life, but those guys were important to me. We had a lot of common experiences. I miss seeing them."
But Burke, who remains surprisingly current on today's PGA Tour, offered a quick bit of advice for Phil Mickelson, who, in Burke's opinion, should have won more than two jackets by now. "It's obvious watching Phil on TV he's trying to energize his swing," says Burke. "He goes at it with the driver too hard and too early in the swing, and it throws his balance off. He needs to speed up his downswing gradually, like a kid sitting in a swing when he begins to go forward from the top. If he'd just let gravity run its course and stop trying to energize the motion, he'd probably kill every cat in the alley. Let's face it, the rest of his game is ready. His putting looks beautiful to me. You can tell him I said that."
Burke's absence will benefit at least one player: Tiger Woods. Burke and Woods share a permanent locker together and with Burke gone, Tiger will have more room to stash his gear.

Clash Between NYCFC and RBNY Exposes "The Smoldering Detente Between The Rich And The Super Rich"
NEW YORK - While many are excited for the first installment of the New York derby, Major League Soccer (MLS) sociology professor Jacob Redlish has his own reason to be interested in the game. The Nutmeg News spoke with Professor Redlish at his office on the campus of New York University.
"This game highlights the smoldering detente between the rich (Red Bull New York) and the super rich (New York City FC). Between the two ownership groups we are speaking of a command of combined assets that approach half a trillion dollars or more. Now granted, Major League Soccer and the ownership groups within made it nearly impossible to spend even 1% of the ownership groups wealth on the team, but even with these financial restrictions the command and destruction of the others assets are paramount to continue the underground war that exists between billionaires within sports."
Professor Redlish stated, as well, that the interests of the fans are subservient to the overarching interests that the two companies exert upon their franchises. "City Financial Group and Red Bull are both here to compete on a physical, a metaphysical, and an ethereal plane against each other. Both are in competition with regards to which organization has the least crappiest team in North America's second largest soccer league. These two organizations exist on a different plane than nearly any other sporting group in the United States. And I'm not using metaphors there, they actually have purchased branded soccer teams in the 5th dimension outside space and time."
TNN asked Professor Redlish about the clash between the fans and what this game might mean to the two groups.
"What we have here is the classic clash between the Bronx, Brooklyn, Bed-Stuy, Jersey, Queens, and certain parts of Wall Street where the fans of both teams commute in to work at the Fedex affiliated shipping spot. It's the battle of 82nd street and 133rd ave versus 110th street and 66th ave. It will be complete chaos. Commuters will be feasting on the entrails of Halal carts, rivers will run with the blood of Sriracha. The Caracas Arepa Bar in Williamsburg will be forced to finally pick a side before being overrun by a collection of proto-punk NYC firm members from the Borough Boys who demand their fealty. We may.... MAY devolve into a hunter gatherer society bent upon subsistence on street meat and ornate trinkets from stalls on Canal Street. I, personally, am stocking up on bottled water, ammunition, seeds, cider, coupons for Chinese takeout, and maps of Central Park that I can sell to unwitting tourists for a haypenny."
The Nutmeg News will continue our investigation to the total collapse of New York City through the medium of soccer as it happens.
