Transcendence and Escape

Yutang Lin

To practice Dharma one need to have right views
So as to be able to discern subtle differentiations
Otherwise, the path chosen is often off the right course

When one is grasping to form
　　　 Without realizing the mistake thereof
And thus taking escape as transcendence
Indeed, when there is longing or avoiding in mind
Both are grasping to form without transcendence

Whatever is avoided
Right there is no transcendence
Genuine transcendence
Is born of mind free from grasping
And at ease as matters arise, without longing or avoiding

Tantra puts transcendence into actual practices
And works head-on at points of ignorance
So as to realize its blank nature
And thereby become forever free from grasping to form

All mental activities and phenomena
Are tied to all sorts of causal conditions
Not to be bothered by any causal conditions
Would be genuine transcendence from causal conditions

While busy choosing what to run toward or away from
One actually acts under the trap of causal conditions

Cover Crops

Cover crop mixes were developed to break down soil between crop rotations and improve soil fertility and health. All mixes include a proportion of quick-growing species to effectively suppress weed growth. The species diversity guarantees good biodiversity and maximum variation in root development to ensure good soil penetration.

Cover crop mixes deliver a number of benefits compared with single crop sowings:

  • Mixed rooting structures, restructuring the soil at all levels through the profile alleviating compaction and soil pans
  • Provides the same amount or more biomass and root yields compared with single crop sowings
  • Produces a greater amount of varied root exudates for enhanced microbial activity and humus production
  • Increases yield stability and quality of the following crop
  • Suppresses weeds
  • Reduces nutrient losses via soil erosion or leaching
  • Reduces risk of lodging by providing crop support

Liverpool contact Leicester over surprise £40m Mahrez swoop

Southampton boss speaks out on Arsenal target Riyad Mahrez amid claims of Liverpool bid

Riyad Mahrez has scored four goals in his last seven league games

With Liverpool facing the imminent departure of their star playmaker Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, the Merseyside club have cast their eye to possible replacements - and one comes in the shape of Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez.

According French publication L'Equipe, one potential option is Leicester City winger, Riyad Mahrez.

Mahrez has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in the Premier League this season having rediscovered his scintillating form which earned him numerous accolades during the Foxes title winning season. The 26-year-old has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 22 appearances in the Premier League so far this season, nearly identical stats to that of the the Barcelona bound Brazilian, who also has seven goals but only six assists.

Arsenal were also heavily linked with Mahrez over the past two summers, as were Chelsea, but neither followed up initial interest with a bid for the player.

World class wizard, @Mahrez22. While Ozil now seems closer to signing a new deal than not, Sanchez is believed to be a certainty to depart, either in January or the coming summer.

When asked whether Mahrez had asked to leave this transfer window, he added: "No".

The Reds would face competition though as Arsenal are also known to be keen.

And the Reds are wasting no time in looking for a replacement for the Brazilian, with Mahrez in their sights.

Long-linked with Thomas Lemar, 22, of Monaco, the Reds ardour for the player has been dampened by both Monaco's owners and manager declaring the mercurial midfielder is not for sale this winter.

Yunnan Baiyao Powder (Yunan Paiyao) 1 box

$29.95  $22.95

Yunnan Baiyao powder (white medicine from Yunnan) was brought into existence by a Chinese doctor named Dr. Qu Huanzhang in the early 1900s as a result of his searching through herbs in Yunnan province in southwest China.

For more than 100 years, the Chinese have been using an herbal mixture to effectively slow bleeding and promote healing. This medicine, named Yunnan Baiyao powder, is hailed as a miracle worker today and has been so called for decades. It's also called Yunnan Paiyao powder.

Yunnan Baiyao is currently formulated as a capsule or a powder and most often used to slow bleeding. However, there is evidence that it is helpful in reducing pain, swelling and inflammation.

Clinical testing, done between 1986-1995, made confirmation that Yunnan Baiyao powder does have praiseworthy effect in slowing bleeding for injuries and surgery. Moreover, it helps with gastro-intestinal disorders, respiratory, and urogenital disorders.

The original secret formula was given to the Chinese government by Dr. Qu's wife after his death and the exact ingredients have remained undisclosed.
However, a good bit has been learned about the contents. The pseudoginseng root has been identified as a major portion of the active ingredients. It's now named Panax, then chi, san qi, or notogensing. Notogensing, of all ginseng types, provides the most components that slow bleeding.

Also, there is very likely some other astringents in Yunnan Baiyao powder. Several different formulations have been made, so a variety of mixtures exist.

Dr. Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, in Portland, Oregon states the following:

“It has been suggested recently that the stop-bleeding action of the product (Yunnan Baiyao powder) may be due to the presence of microscopic plant fibers (nanofibers) that stimulate platelets to aggregate, thus explaining how a low dosage of herb material, for which chemical constituents are present in small amounts, might have such dramatic effect.”

So there may be some effect in Yunnan Baiyao powder that is mechanical instead of all chemical.

Dr. Dharmananda also made mention of the high regard for Yunnan Baiyao powder by modern Chinese medical professionals:

“During a visit I made to China in 1983, our team asked several Chinese experts about patent medicines, inquiring as to what was deemed the best one: Yunnan Baiyao powder was well-known and highly respected, receiving the characteristic thumbs-up approval. The product gained the interest of physicians in Chinese hospitals and several medical research facilities; its use in these settings continues to the present.”

HOW HAS Yunnan Baiyao powder BEEN USED ?
The general awareness among western nations began at the time of the Vietnam War.
Many of the Asian soldiers carried packets of Yunnan Baiao for use in the event they were wounded.
Since that time, many doctors in the west have added this inexpensive and effective herbal mixture to their cabinets.
So wounds, surgery, internal bleeding and all other circumstances that call for reduction in blood flow can, and do, benefit from using this time texted herbal mix.
Yunnan Baiyao powder is a tested, trusted, inexpensive herbal mixture to help with slowing bleeding along with aid for pain and inflammation.

Yunnan Baiyao powder Dosage and Administration:
Use for open wounds, for wounds with stagnated blood, swelling or pain. Can be used for venomous sore however consultation with doctor is required.
Apply directly to bleeding wound (clean first, and bandage afterwards). In deep or wide wounds, squeeze cut together, pour powder on, and keep closed for 1 to 2 minutes. For severe trauma use red little pill.

Yunnan Baiyao powder Usage for EIPH syndrome for racing horses:
To prevent or treat EIPH in horses, follow the instructions:
The day before competition, give 1 full bottle of the Yunnan Baiyao powder in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. Do not use the red pills.
On the morning of competition give 1 full bottle of the powder without using the red pill.
Then at the Lasix shot use 1 bottle of Yunnan Baiyao powder together with all 4 red pills that were kept earlier.

Contains 4g x 6 bottles, each bottle contains one red pill.

Tadatsuna White Steel Kamagata Usuba 180(7")
Japanese Kitchen Knife Review

Tweet ThisShare On FacebookStumbleUponDigg itShare on

Home > Knives > Kitchen Knives > Kitchen Knife Reviews > Tadatsuna
Tadatsuna Shirogami Kamagata Usuba 180(7")

My first knife from Awataguchi Ikkanshi Tadatsuna - Shirogami(White Steel) Kamagata Usuba. I've heard all the compliments about Usuba type knives on the kitchen knives section. Frankly, I don't consider usubas that appealing. They look rather weird with their chisel like appearance. Still, once I saw the Shirogami Kamagata Usuba, which is simply an usuba with rounded tip that also forms some sort of the tip, I knew I'd have to buy it. For the record, I found it in Takeshi's store, at Aframes Tokyo. At that time I was more interested in Shirogami steel knives what in an usuba of any type, but for one I liked (sort of) kamagata shape, then I wanted to test white steel knife. So, I've had whole two reasons to buy the knife, and very often I don't even need a single reason to buy a new knife. As you can see it was a perfectly justified purchase ;) Not that knife nuts need any justification for their knives.

- Very generally, kamagata usuba is a subtype of usuba knives. Like I said above, this is an usuba with more rounded tip. Obviously, as a quality piece of Japanese cutlery Usuba arrived packed in a nice box with Tadatsuna logo. Tadatsuna style saya was strapped to the box. I've written about I Tadatsuna himself and specifics of his wood sayas in my review of Tadatsuna 270mm Shirogami Gyuto review. Initial inspection was done as soon as I opened the box. I sincerely with I'd have to report a perfect blade, except it wasn't. As far as grind lines and fit went it was all perfect. No gaps between the handle and the blade, tang entry point is well sealed. Main problem was the back side of the blade which was scratched up pretty bad. Initially, I thought I got an used blade by mistake. Takeshi confirmed that he sent the box straight from Tadatsuna. So, if anything it slipped quality control at their factory. In the end I've decided to keep the knife. Since Tadatsuna discontinued the white steel knives at least for the time being (2009), it was rather unlikely to get a replacement. Besides, Takeshi gave me discount for the damaged blade. Scratches or not, the blade was extremely sharp. No other problems aside from the botched sharpening job on the back side. Either way, 280$ knife shouldn've been like that. Seems like I've got bad luck with Tadatsunas in general. Gyuto has a loose handle, kamagata usuba has scratched up blade... On the other hand knife performance is great (after resharpening, but about that below) and all the other Tadatsuna users are just raving those knives. Nevertheless, for now I am on hold with new Tadatsunas though.

- The blade of the kamagata usuba is 180.00mm(7.09") long and 4mm thick. Usubas in general are more powerful and more precise knives compared to Nakiris, so that's why heftier blades. Blade is exactly 45mm wide. Given usuba geometry its width is the same except for the first 15-20mm. As it is still an usuba, the blade is chisel grind. Right side of the blade has Tadatsuna logo. Urasuki is slightly concave as usual. The rounded tip provides finer point for delicate work. Works ok for small items, like destemming strawberries. Can't say it's the most comfortable knife for that type of work, paring knives work much better for that. Other than that nothing interesting to report on the blade geometry. The edge is a straight line and that's it.

Initial edge was very sharp. I still gave it a few passes on 0.25µm diamond crystal loaded leather trop. Then stropped on the plain leather strop. After that I've proceeded with some test cutting. The first test item was the red radish. And the results were simply devastating. Unfortunately, the devastation was inflicted upon the edge, not so much on the radish. Well, not that it was intact. Kamagata Usuba did cut through the radish, I've sliced it and it was very smooth cuts too. However the edge was severely rolled pretty much all the way wherever it has touched the radish. I was both, unhappy and very puzzled with the result. Never had a knife blade behave like that on me. From what I know that does happen with very soft steel knives, i.e. whatever fails the heat treatment somehow. On the other hand, even failed heat treatment was strange explanation for the damage done by radish. I couldn't come up with any better solution than to resharpen it again. I've started with 2000-3000 grit Japanese natural Aoto waterstone, followed by 8000-12000 grit Kitayama synthetic Japanese waterstone. Next was the usual finishing with 0.5µm and 0.25µm diamond spray and plain leather strop. Same cutting test was repeated and the same devastation was inflicted on the edge. I started seriously suspecting the defective knife, namely failed heat treatment.

For couple days I didn't do anything, just communicated with Takeshi about the problem. He suggested to return the blade, but I was reluctant. Then, next weekend for some reason I have decided to sharpen the knife again, but I've measured the edge angle first. Interestingly it came out ~5°-6° For the record, angle was measured as arcsinus of the blade height above the stone, till mid spine divided by blade length. Pretty accurate. That was very low and I've decided to try more realistic 15° edge. Bear in mind this is the single bevel edge. The other side is flat, i.e. 0°. This 15° would translate into 7.5° per side for more conventional V edge. Anyway, 15° included angle proved to be successful for all subsequent cutting tests and actual use. Which is where the edge is since then.

Because of all those problems and my suspicions about the heat treatment quality of the kamagata usuba knife I have actually tested the hardness of the blade. In general this isn't a luxury you can afford daily, unless you have a Rockwell tester in house. And even if you do have it, then each testing leaves a visible dimple mark on the blade. So, unless you intend to redecorate the blade with multiple dimples, it's better to refrain from multiple testing ;) Since I have no RC tester at home, I've had to take it to the local heat treating company and had the testing done there. That was on March 24, 2009. RC tester showed 15HRC on the jigane and 62.3HRC for the Hagane. Which is pretty close to what the rumors said about Tadatsuna hardness 63-64HRC. In the end, it wasn't a failed heat treatment. And for now I keep it at 15°.

- Kamagata usuba original handle was made of Magnolia Wood. Approximately 150mm long, D shaped handle which is quite popular in Japanese knives. As you can guess, D type handle thanks to its ridge isn't ambidextrous. Well, for the correct hand it is pretty comfortable and I haven't had any negative feelings about it either. D handles are kindda funny. On some knives they work real good, on others I simply hated them, like on Shun 200mm Gyuto. One of the characteristic features of Tadatsuna handles is their width, or thickness. They're quite wide compared to most of the Japanese knives I've ever seen. On the other hand they're really comfortable. So far I've had WA type handle on the Tadatsuna White Steel Gyuto and D type handle on this usuba. Both worked well, except the handle on gyuto became loose. So far I've gone through all styles of cutting with my usuba and the handle was pretty good. Longest cutting session with Kamagata Usuba was approximately 2.5 hours long, as usual it was non stop cutting, with prepared ingredients. I didn't get any cramps in my fingers, nor any sore spots on my palms, so I rate the handle as really comfortable. And as usual, I am going to replace the handle with a custom one from Stefan Keller.

Man leaving with boxWith so many cases of sexual harassment and discrimination in the news, it’s not surprising that more companies have purchased employment practices liability insurance (EPLI). EPLI protects employers from damages resulting from workplace-liability claims.

EPLI was first introduced in 1988 and for several years there was little interest in the new insurance. The Civil Rights Act amendments of 1991, however, has led to a huge increase in discrimination claims and thus also an explosion of interest in EPLI.

In the past few years, employers have become increasingly aware that they are legally responsible for their employees’ actions. Between 1990 and 1998, for example, the number of employment discrimination claims filed in federal court nearly tripled from 8,413 to 23,735. This, combined with the growing number of employment-related liability lawsuits, has driven the increased demand for EPLI, which is now offered by dozens of different insurers.

What EPLI Covers

EPLI covers defense costs, judgments and settlements (up to the policy limits) for the corporate entity, former and current employees, directors, and officers. It covers a variety of workplace-related legal actions, including:

  • Discrimination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Wrongful termination
  • Breach of employment contract
  • Negligent evaluation
  • Failure to employ or promote
  • Wrongful discipline
  • Deprivation of career opportunity
  • Wrongful infliction of emotional distress
  • Mismanagement of employee-benefits plans

EPLI policies do not cover workers’ compensation, bodily injury or property-damage cases, nor do they cover cases that another insurance policy specifically covers.

EPLI Premiums

EPLI rates vary from state to state and from company to company. Generally an insurer calculates premiums by determining the amount of coverage a business needs and its perceived risk. An insurer will base rates on several risk factors, including the number of employees at a company, the turnover ratio, whether or not the business has a human resources department, and any past harassment or bias suits against the company. Businesses with 10 to 20 employees that have good HR practices and a clean record can expect to pay approximately $1,500 a year for EPLI coverage.

Employers can lower their company’s liability exposure and keep insurance rates down by taking certain precautions:

  • Don’t hire workers with histories of drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Institute zero-tolerance policies toward workplace harassment, discrimination, and alcohol and drug abuse.
  • Develop an employee-standards handbook that defines the skills and performance you expect for each position.
  • Measure your employees’ performance on a regular basis.
  • Discuss workplace liability with your insurer to see if your company should consider an EPLI policy.

Businesses that purchase EPLI coverage may actually reduce the likelihood of workplace harassment and discrimination. Insurers generally review a company to check for workplace liability before they issue a policy. And since insurers hate risk, they’ll usually recommend changes that reduce a business’s exposure to lawsuits. Many of the steps you can take to ward off harassment claims and meet the demands of insurers begin with basic education and setting up the right environment.

MORE and OBS, two groups funded by George Soros, advertised money available for people willing to travel to protest (@organizemo is the twitter account of MORE):

joe prich

Listen to radical socialist George Soros talk about his innocuous <sarcasm> and oh so “transparent” little organization here:

George Soros gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all:

ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.

George Soros wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “downsized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”

After protesters protested not getting their checks from MORE on May 14th, MORE allegedly distributed the following list as to who was paid to protest in Ferguson and elsewhere, to show where the money had been going.

list 1

list 2

Obviously, as we’ve mentioned before, this is far from a ‘grass roots spontaneous’ protest.

You can see money paid out to Lisa Fithian, $1,127.75 for ‘visit expenses’.

For those who do not know, Lisa Fithian is an infamous leftist organizer. She organized at Occupy, but has been used as a training organizer for many years before that. She spent time in Ferguson in 2014 training people to ‘simulate chaos.’

Is it possible that George Soros has a love affair with Lisa Fithian because of their common hatred for Israel?

Also of note, you can see that some people are being paid to travel to other places to protest, you can see the travel to Selma, and to D.C., as well as money paid out for ‘vans’, including to a union for providing the vans. Elizabeth Vega got $2000 for ‘activist trip to Baltimore’.

There is money paid for protester supplies and protester catering, as well as for video recording of the protests. Some things were not so defined such as $2000 to Taylor Payne for ‘support’.

$52,815 is paid to MORE. Money clearly was to go through them to the protesters, according to the protesters during their #Cuthtechecks protest.

There are big payouts to Jeff Ordower. Jeff Ordower is a bit like a male Lisa Fithian, he was an organizer for the SEIU and ACORN. He founded MORE and his stated goal is “welcoming co-conspirators in attempts to scale up numbers of radical organizers who can financially support themselves in the work”. He is the white man protesters are complaining to in this clip, when they protested not getting paid. He would appear to be disburser of the checks.

Brittany Ferrell and Ashley Yates receive thousands on behalf of MAU, Millenial Activists United, one of the protester groups. Ferrell, tries to justify her position in this Facebook post where she blames Ordower for screwing everything up.

Cardrona Alpine Resort

360 Degree Video, VR Headsets and 360 Aerial Panoramas

As a business that is continually pushing marketing innovation within the NZ ski industry, Cardrona was the ideal client for us to work with when testing the potential of the new Oculus Go VR Headsets.

During the 12017 winter season we shot a “general mountain” 360 degree video edit, with the goal of engaging on offline audience at the Australian snow expo events pre-winter 2018. The video was to showcase the wide open trails and general feel of the mountain in less than 2 minutes.

Cardrona 360 Degree Video

Alongside the 360 video, we shot a series of 360 degree aerial panoramas to create an aerial virtual tour. Here’s one of the panoramas as a flat image…

About Cardrona Alpine Resort

Found in between Queenstown and Wanaka, Cardrona is known for its genuine family-friendly atmosphere, wide groomed runs, perfectly-shaped parks and pipes.

Most reputed for its friendly and genuine vibe, Cardrona is widely considered the most suitable mountain in the Southern Lakes for families and beginners. Here, beginners will find amazing terrain to learn to ski or snowboard on, and intermediates will find themselves easily progressing to the next level.

Read a testimonial from Cardrona Alpine Resort

“360 video content has been on our radar for a while now and with their experience, 360 NZ were the obvious solution when it came to producing a piece of content to showcase the resort at trade events and online. The team at 360 NZ were outstanding, effectively interpreting our brief and flexible enough to work with us around variable mountain weather conditions as we searched for the ‘perfect’ shot.

Over and above the content creation, 360 NZ were able to supply the new Oculus Go VR headsets for our most recent event, allowing us to transport guests to the resort from an expo in Australia and allowing us to sell the destination far greater than what’s possible with traditional media.

360 content has been a step change for us in destination/activity marketing and we look forward to working with the team on more upcoming projects.” – James Mulcahy – Marketing, Cardrona Alpine Resort

CEAD’s new large-format Continuous Fiber 3D printer

The Netherlands based company CEAD is developing a large-format Continuous Fiber Additive Manufacturing (CFAM) machine for industrial applications, including construction and shipbuilding.

Continuous fiber 3D printing

CEAD has not revealed the specifications of their CFAM process, as they are still in the process of securing patents, however other solutions for working with carbon fiber are already on the market. It will be interesting to learn how the CEAD process compares.

Continuous fiber 3D printing has been commercially available since 2015, with the release of the MarkForged Mark One. Continuous Fiber Fabrication (CFF) is a process developed and coined by Markforged, a Massachusetts-based producer of 3D printers.

CFF uses two print nozzles to produce parts with continuous strands of composite materials, such as carbon fiber, fiberglass or kevlar. The first nozzle follows a conventional printing process, extruding the outer shell of a part in layers. The second nozzle deposits a continuous strand of material on every layer that MarkForged CEO, Greg Mark, says produces components  “five times stronger and twenty times stiffer” than regular 3D printed parts. Currently, MarkForged do not offer 3D printers with build sizes as large as CEAD’s CFAM machine. Read more about CFF in a 3D Printing Industry interview with Mark.

Testing and production

In January CEAD revealed some key specifications of the 3D printer, including an impressive max build size of 4x2x1.5m and a deposition rate of 15kg of material an hour. The printer is compatible with many different thermoplastics, including ABS, PET, PP and PEEK.

Since then, CEAD has successfully tested the impregnation and extrusion of continuous glass and carbon fiber materials in the printing process. During the test the CFAM machine ran for 24 hours without operator interference. CFAM samples were subjected to several interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) tests showing parts conforming to several ISO standards.

CEAD have moved production to a larger 1000 square meter facility, located near Delft, Netherlands. The location will be used to produce the first full-scale CFAM machine.

The company say the CFAM 3D printer will be available this year.

I-40 West Near Lee Creek Closed After Semis Collide

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

CRAWFORD COUNTY (KFSM) — Dispatchers with Arkansas State Police said Interstate 40 westbound near Lee Creek is currently closed after two semis collided.

Officers said one semi truck was going eastbound, crossed the median and hit the semi truck going westbound head on. The eastbound truck then rolled down into a ditch.

The driver and passenger of the westbound truck had to be removed with the jaws of life. The driver and two passengers of the eastbound truck walked away from the accident with minor injuries. Both drivers and all passengers were taken to a nearby hospital.

Two dogs were also rescued from inside the westbound truck and are in good condition.

Crews are on the scene working to move the trucks out of the way.

If you have gained expertise in a relevant area of international development, there are opportunities to found a non-profit that seeks to efficiently and transparently implement an evidence-backed intervention which is not already the focus of an existing non-profit. Organizations like this have the potential to receive tens of millions of dollars from funders like the Gates Foundation and GiveWell within a couple of years, achieving a large impact.

  • Potential to have a large direct impact within international development.
  • Builds expertise in international development, as well as generally valuable career capital.

  • It seems to take several years to build up the necessary expertise.
  • The people who take this path seem highly able, suggesting it’s very difficult.
  • We’re very uncertain how easy it is to find and take these opportunities before they would be exploited by other non-profits or governments.

Career capital:

Direct impact:

Advocacy potential:

Ease of competition:

Job satisfaction:

Our reasoning for these ratings is explained below. You might also like to read about our approach to rating careers.

Key facts on fit

Well-rounded, risk-taking, very long hours, grit, independent, deep knowledge of relevant area.

Next steps

If you’re at an early stage, focus on accumulating expertise and connections that put you in a better position to discover and take advantage of opportunities to found non-profits (e.g. a postgraduate degree, working on the ground, doing project management), while keeping your options open. Find out which interventions are developing an evidence-base but don’t already have a non-profit focusing on them, and consider especially focusing your learning on these areas.

If you’re considering founding, speak to GiveWell, the strategic development foundations such as Gates and CIFF, and other groups which are attempting this, such as Evidence Action and Charity Entrepreneurship. Aim to find out what conditions your organization would need to satisfy in order to get funding.

If you are well suited to this career, it may be the best way for you to have a social impact.

Review status

Exploratory career profile

What is this career path?

This career path involves attempting to found non-profits that contribute to the cause of ending global poverty through international aid, and that implement evidence-backed, cost-effective programs, with a high level of transparency and monitoring. This will initially involve aiming to build up expertise, as well as finding an idea and a founding team, before ultimately raising funds and attempting to grow the organization.

For more, see GiveWell’s list of criteria.

Potential for impact

Sometimes, evidence-backed interventions are discovered within the field of international development before there is a non-profit focused on implementing them. A current example where gaps still exist is micronutrient fortification.

Moreover, there are several large foundations which want to fund non-profits which can efficiently implement such interventions, including GiveWell, CIFF and the Gates Foundation. But GiveWell claims that it’s hard to identify people able to run such programs, particularly people able to solve on-the-ground logistical issues.

This suggests there’s an opportunity for a team with the necessary skills to create and scale up such a non-profit relatively quickly, which would have a substantial impact. For instance, GiveWell reviewed Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) in 2009. By 2013 it had caused AMF to gain over $10 million in donations, and it will likely reach over $50 million in 2017. $10 million is enough to pay for about two million malaria nets, which are expected to save several thousand lives – and AMF only has two staff members.

Moreover, these kinds of non-profits often serve as pilots for larger programs, implemented by governments, and so can help to accelerate a larger scale-up.

Evidence Action has already successfully incubated Deworm the World, and is now working on several other projects, such as No Lean Season, which has received funding from GiveWell.

Charity Entrepreneurship founded Charity Science Health, which has also received a grant from GiveWell.

For more information, see:

We’re not sure how easy it is for an individual to target these opportunities. Often they are taken by experts who happened to be in the right place (although AMF is an exception). If you’re not already one of these experts, it may be hard to get yourself to the forefront of the field before the opportunity is gone. However, we suspect it’s still possible to work in generally promising areas, and to build the right sort of network and skills, in order to substantially raise your chances of being able to found an effective non-profit in the future.

Charity Entrepreneurship’s success so far is encouraging, since the founders are young and don’t have a background in development.

Other factors

This is not a path you take for the earnings – many non-profits rely heavily on volunteers. The median salary for a non-profit CEO in the US is probably in the range of $50-$80,000 per year (perhaps slightly larger after including bonuses and insurance).1 However, the median is lower than the mean due to a large number of small charities. For non-profits with a budget of several million dollars, typical compensation is $100,000-$130,000 per year.2

Advocacy potential

Being the founder of a non-profit can provide many networking opportunities because it allows you to speak for the organization – there are many opportunities for founders to attend conferences and generally get access to interesting people. To run the non-profit, you’ll also need to work with other organizations, funders and supporters, who will contribute to your network. Finally, you can use the non-profit itself as a vehicle for advocacy by using it as a model for others. For instance, GiveWell have helped to encourage greater transparency by being extremely transparent themselves.

Career capital

Founding a new project is highly demanding and it’s generally clear whether you’re succeeding, so it will force you to learn new skills and develop as a person. In particular, you’ll learn a package of very useful transferable skills, such as fundraising, strategy and management. And you’ll learn how to apply these independently, which is a sought after combination.

As mentioned in the ‘advocacy’ section, being a founder is great for building connections. Launching a new project is also very impressive on your CV. So, overall we think this is an excellent option for career capital.

Exploration value

We think this is a high-variance path, in that most non-profits fail or stay small, while a small number have a big impact. It could be valuable, therefore, to embark on this path in order to learn more about your degree of personal fit.

Working to found a non-profit will also help you to learn a huge amount about the relevant cause area, and other opportunities within the cause.

Personal fit

Entry requirements

You can enter this path whenever you have a sufficiently good idea and enough credibility to attract funding. In practice, founders have often first accumulated substantial expertise in relevant areas. For instance, the founders of GiveDirectly met while studying postgraduate degrees in economics and the founder of SCI is a Professor of Tropical Parasitology. Rob Mather, the founder of Against Malaria Foundation, had a successful background in business, giving him a network, sales skills and enough financial capital to initially self-fund. Alternatively, getting a job at Evidence Action generally requires an advanced degree and several years of experience doing project management in a related area.

So, we expect that in order to have a good shot at launching a project, good preparation would be:

  • A Master’s or PhD in a relevant area.
  • Several years’ experience of project management, including some ‘on the ground’ experience (or other experience that builds entrepreneurial skills).
  • It may also be useful to do something like consulting in order to build some savings and a network of potential funders. Consulting could also be a useful bridge job between university and a project management position.

During this time, you could hope to identify some promising ideas and potential co-founders. For more see our interview with effective non-profit leaders on how to enter the sector.

However, note that the barriers to entry might be coming down. The amount of money available for these opportunities has risen dramatically in the last couple of years. Charity Entrepreneurship’s success so far could be evidence of this.

What does it take to succeed?

Successful non-profit entrepreneurs are well-rounded, very intelligent, motivated and have a deep expertise in their program area. Like for-profit entrepreneurs, we suspect they have a bit of a ‘break the rules’ independent attitude.

In some ways, non-profit entrepreneurship is even harder than for-profit entrepreneurship, because your business model will be more complex (fundraising and program implementation are separate, and it’s difficult to measure success) and there is less money available. So, we think this is a highly challenging path.

Job satisfaction

The work is potentially highly satisfying, since you can make a big difference, while doing varied, high-status and challenging work. On the other hand, you’ll need to put in long hours and face a high risk of failure. If you can accept this stress, then we think it can be a very rewarding path.

Next steps

Evidence Action and Charity Entrepreneurship are trying to put this into action, so if interested in this path, we recommend contacting them.

GiveWell are also happy to speak to non-profits who might one day satisfy their criteria.

Among medium-sized organizations, 36% of CEOs have salaries between $50,000 and $75,000, while 50.5% earn more than $75,000 and 13.5% earn less than $50,000. Among large organizations, 14.2% pay salaries of $100,000 or less; 38.1% pay between $101,000 and $150,000; and 47.7% pay more than $150,000. Note that this is significantly lower than the median figures reported by the prominent Charity Navigator Annual Survey. This is because Charity Navigator focuses on “mid to large” US charities, which pay substantially higher salaries.
  2. For instance, the 2014 NPT Salary and Benefits Report, found that: Operating budget less than $499,999 — Average CEO salary: $60,206; Operating budget from $500,000 to 999,999 — Average CEO salary: $81,991; Operating budget from $1,000,000 to $2,499,999 — Average CEO salary: $103,704; Operating budget from $2,500,000 to $4,999,999 — Average CEO salary: $125,899; Operating budget from 5,000,000 to $9,999,999 — Average CEO salary: $153,858; Operating budget from $10,000,000 to $24,999,999 — Average CEO salary: $184,926; Operating budget from $25,000,000 to $49,999,999 — Average CEO salary: $226,023; Operating budget more than $50,000,000 — Average CEO salary: $317,024.

B vitamins may lower stroke risk

February 19, 2009 2:14:05 PM PST
B vitamins could lower some people's risk of heart disease, especially if they are under 70. Canadian researchers sought to determine whether high doses of three B vitamins could dampen the risk of stroke. The dosage was higher than people would normally get.

Several groups gained more benefit from the vitamin treatment, people under 70 and those who had higher cholesterol at the start of the study.

But researchers add it's too early to make recommendations and as more studies are done on this.

Vitamins aside, a healthy diet is the best way to guide against a stroke.

franklyHANK: Stacy Keach, Working Girl, Wonder Woman (WLS)

We now know that actor Stacy Keach had a heart attack on stage at Goodman Theatre on May 30 during the opening night of his show, "Pamplona." I was in the audience that night and it was clear that Keach was having trouble recalling parts of the script and missing light cues. He appeared to be confused and finally after an hour of struggling through, someone over a loud speaker said, "Hold, please. Mr. Keach, would you exit the stage?" Keach exited and director Bob Falls came on stage and explained that Keach had been ill all day, but insisted on performing that night. Falls added that the performance had not gone as planned and they were canceling it for the night. Goodman continued to cancel performances for another three shows before canceling the run altogether. The good news is that Keach is expected to make a recovery and Goodman plans to reschedule "Pamplona" for 2018. Keach is expected to be released from the hospital today and remain in Chicago during his recover.
The hit 1988 film "Working Girl" starring Melanie Griffith, Harrison Ford and Sigourney Weaver is headed to a Broadway stage. Singer/song-writer Cyndi Lauper will write the music for the show. Lauper previously won a Tony for the score of "Kinky Boots," which had its pre-Broadway run right here in Chicago. The film which was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture focuses on a Staten Island secretary trying to make in a man's world. When her female boss takes a brief leave, she fills in and trouble ensues. No date yet on that Broadway bow.

So while a sequel has not been officially announced, almost everyone in the film industry expects it. "Wonder Woman" grossed more than $200 million worldwide in its opening week. Both star Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins are contractually obligated to a sequel should Warner Bros. green light it. Jenkins has also said she knows what she wants in a sequel including setting it in the US. Critics and fans are giving "Wonder Woman" great reviews and I agree. Definitely worth your money. Check it out.

The film that gave starring roles to both Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps, "Juice," is out on Blu-ray for the first time and celebrating the film's 25th anniversary. The Blu-ray also includes an alternate ending to "Juice." "Juice" is available from Paramount Home Entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray in stores everywhere now.

Same Blackwater, Different Names

After Blackwater contractors were accused of shooting 17 civilians in Iraq, the State Department announced it would stop doing business with the company, but ABC News has found that several other agencies, including the CIA and the Pentagon, continue to employ the controversial company, under a myriad of names, often via secret, classified contracts.

Blackwater, which changed the name of its parent company to Xe Services last year because of bad publicity, is also operating subdivisions under a variety of altered handles intended to lower its public profile. In some instances the flagship company has tried to distance itself from these offshoots, insisting they are merely "affiliates."

Public records and a source familiar with their ownership suggest, however, that the companies are nothing more than new names on the same old Blackwater. All are owned by Blackwater founder Erik Prince.

VIDEO: American contractors killed in Iraq 2004Play
March 31, 2004: Blackwater Hangings

According to several military and government sources familiar with Xe's contracts, Xe also operates under the names Paravant and XPG. Both "affiliates" are based at the same Moyock, North Carolina address as Xe. Other Prince-owned companies that have received government contracts include Greystone, Raven, Constellation, US Training Center, GSD Manufacturing, and Presidential Airlines. The companies are among a total of 20 different limited liability corporations owned by Prince and registered to the same address as Blackwater-Xe.

In September 2007, Blackwater guards escorting a State Department convoy through Baghdad shot and killed 17 civilians in Nissour Square, resulting in international outrage, the loss of Blackwater's State Department security contract and criminal charges against the guards. Late last month Vice President Biden announced that the U.S. government would appeal a recent federal court decision to throw out charges against the guards involved in the shooting.

Damage control after the Nissour Square incident is what inspired Blackwater executives to scrap the iconic brand name of the parent company. According to several government and military officials, the incident lead to a company shakeup and name change intended to clean up Blackwater's image and limit legal liabilities.

Blackwater dropped the crosshairs from its company logo, and some executives were forced out. Then, after a lengthy internal name search, Blackwater decided to become Xe Services. "Blackwater" had referred to the water of the North Carolina swamp where the company was headquartered, but Xe, according to a company spokeswoman, had no connotations.

The change from Blackwater to Xe was announced in February 2009. Less known is that a variety of affiliated companies were also renamed. In the wake of the Nissour Square shooting Xe was barred from Iraq, and the corporate relaunch was supposed to include a de-emphasis on security contracts and a new focus on providing training. However, Xe and its rebranded affiliates still work in Afghanistan, and continue to provide security and training, though they often operate as security subcontractors to other contractors.

A recent review by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, known as SIGAR, has found that Xe Services has operated under different names. It often acts as a subcontractor, fulfilling training contracts originally won by other companies such as Raytheon, according to a person who has reviewed the SIGAR materials. According to several sources apprised of the contract, in Afghanistan Raytheon worked with the Blackwater entity called Paravant, LLC.

"Raytheon is supposed to train Afghan soldiers, but Raytheon subcontracted to Blackwater," said a source who has reviewed the contracts between the two companies.

Paravant came under scrutiny after a 2009 shooting incident in Afghanistan. Three Americans and an Afghan contractor were working for Paravant last May when they became involved in the shooting of Afghan civilians in Kabul. Americans Justin Cannon and Chris Drotleff were arrested in the U.S. earlier this month and face federal charges of second-degree murder. In a statement, Xe Services said it had "immediately and fully cooperated with the government's investigation." Both Cannon and Drotleff maintain their innocence.

According to people familiar with the Raytheon-Paravant relationship, Raytheon terminated the contract in August of last year as a result of the shooting. The May shooting also led to an investigation by the Senate Armed Services Committee. ABC News has confirmed that the Paravant employees connected to the shooting were subcontracted to Raytheon.

Jon Kasle, a Raytheon company spokesman, would not comment on the contract with Paravant, except to say that the company "currently has no contracts with any Blackwater company or subsidiary."

A second Xe offshoot, XPG, does classified work for the military's Joint Special Operations Command, JSOC, which handles special forces and special operations in Afghanistan, according to a government source who has seen the contract. XPG was once known as Select PTC.

In an exclusive report, ABC News revealed that contractors working for Select PTC had carried out a covert raid into Pakistan in 2006. A dozen Select PTC "tactical action operatives" were recruited by JSOC for a raid on a suspected al Qaeda training camp, according to a military intelligence planner. The planner said he did not know the outcome of the mission, which was codenamed "Vibrant Fury."

Select PTC was Blackwater's equivalent of the CIA's paramilitary or the military's Special Forces, and was used for classified operations with the CIA and JSOC. Select PTC was involved in classified clandestine activities in countries around the world, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and the Philippines, according to a former military intelligence officer briefed on Select PTC's operations for the U.S. government. The same unit was awarded a contract to assassinate al Qaeda leaders around the world.

In August 2009, the New York Times reported that personnel from a Blackwater offshoot that it called "Blackwater Select" were allegedly responsible for loading missiles and bombs on CIA-operated Predator drones, which are used on suspected al Qaeda operatives and Pakistani militants in Pakistan's Tribal Areas.

The story was actually referring to Select PTC, but by then the name had been changed to XPG, LLC. As Select PTC was to Blackwater, so is XPG now to XE – the company's equivalent of Special Forces. XPG continues to hold classified contracts with the Pentagon's JSOC. One official who has seen XPG's contract with the Pentagon told ABC News that XPG currently has a classified contract providing security at seven Special Forces facilities in Afghanistan along the Pakistan border. The contract stipulates that the company receives $17,000 per day, earning XPG more than $6 million annually, according to a source who has reviewed the contract.

A Xe company spokesperson declined to describe the nature of the contracts that either Paravant or XPG hold with the government. A source familiar with Paravant and XPG's relationship to Xe told ABC News that neither was a "subsidiary" of Xe. Paravant, the source said, was "affiliated" with Xe Services, but not owned by the company. A review of Paravant's web site shows that its facilities and services are at the North Carolina address as Xe, and also share another address associated with Xe in Illinois.

Xe Services continues to look for work in Afghanistan. Earlier this month it placed a bid for a roughly $1 billion training and security contract. The bid has been contested by competing contractors and has not yet been awarded by the Pentagon.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D.-Ill., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, has questioned why Blackwater, under any name, still wins contracts from defense and intelligence agencies.

"After everything that has gone wrong ... with Blackwater, I cannot understand why the U.S. Government has anything to do with them," said Rep. Schakowsky. "I have yet to hear a convincing reason for their continued work for the government."

A Practical Research for More Efficient Utilization of Water Resources in the South-Western Part of Korea

Drought severe region, Estuary reservoir, Water requirements, Water balance, Multi-reservoir operation, Link canal

The south-western part of Korea is situated in an unbalance of water supply and demand relating to the Keum, Mankyung, Dongjin and Youngsan River and their estuary reservoirs. For example, the Keum River estuary reservoir is discharging the larger amount of yearly runoff into the sea due to the small storage capacity, while Saemankeum estuary reservoir which is under construction, has the smaller runoff amount comparing with its storage capacity, And the downstream area of the Youngsan River, such as Youngkwang, Youngam are deficient in water due in larger demand and smaller supply. In order to solve the above unbalanced water supply and demand and also to improve the water use efficiency, the Hierarchical Operation Model for Multi-reservoir System(HOMMS) has been developed and applied to analyze the multi-reservoir operation assuming that the above reservoirs were linked each other. The result of this study shows that 2,148MCM of annual additional water requirement for agricultural and rural water demands are required in this region at 2011 of target year, and these demands can be resolved by diverting and reusing 1,913MCM of the released water from the estuary reservoirs into the sea.
