March 23rd in African American History – James “Jimmy” Winkfield

James “Jimmy” WinkfieldMarch 23, 1974 James “Jimmy” Winkfield, jockey, horse trainer and the last African American to ride a winner in the Kentucky Derby, died.

Winkfield was born April 12, 1882 in Chilesburg, Kentucky and began his career as a jockey in 1898. He rode in the Kentucky Derby for the first time in 1900, finishing third. He rode in the derby the next three years, winning in 1901 and 1902 and finishing second in 1903. Later that year, Winkfield emigrated to Russia where he was greeted as a celebrity and in the name of Czar Nicholas II competed at racetracks all over Europe.

The Russian Revolution caused him to leave the country in 1917 and he moved to France where he resumed racing, winning numerous prestigious races. Winkfield retired from racing at the age of 50, having won more than 2,500 races, and began a successful career as a horse trainer. In 2004, Winkfield was posthumously inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame and the Jimmy Winkfield Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack is run in his honor.

Several biographies have been written about Winkfield, including “Wink: The Incredible Life and Epic Journey of Jimmy Winkfield” (2004) and “Black Maestro: The Epic Life of an American Legend” (2006).

This is my little red wagon. You are welcome to laugh.

German theologian Karl Barth, author of the many volumes collectively called Church Dogmatics, told of a dream he had of  dying, arriving in heaven, and being questioned by St. Peter:

Peter: “Who are you?”
Barth: “My name is Karl Barth.”
Peter: “What have you done?”
Barth: “I taught theology.”
Peter: “What have you written?”
Barth: “Church Dogmatics.”
Peter: “Can I see it?”
Barth: “Well, it’s a whole shelf.”
Peter: “Big isn’t it?”
Barth: (proudly) “Ja!”
Peter: “Here is a little red wagon. Put it in. Now, pull it up the street.”

As Barth obediently pulls the little wagon, the angels line the street, and laugh!

What is a capital gain? What about capital losses?

what is the basis for bitcoin

Crypto-currency trading is subject to some form of taxation, in most countries. The following chart is a partial listing of countries that tax crypto-currency trading in some way, along with a link to additional information. Remember: Specific tax regulations vary per country ; this chart is simply meant to illustrate if some form of crypto-currency taxation exists.

GOV for United States taxation information. A compilation of information on crypto tax regulations in the United States, Canada, The United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia, which can be found here. This document can be found here. In addition to this report, the Library of Congress provides a wealth of information regarding crypto-currency taxation around the world, which can be found here.

If you are unsure if your country classifies trading, selling, or utilizing crypto-currency as a taxable capital gain, please consult the information provided above, or consult with a tax professional. Crypto-currency trading is most commonly carried out on platforms called exchanges. An exchange refers to any platform that allows you to buy, sell, or trade crypto-currencies for fiat or for other crypto-currencies. There are a large number of exchanges which vary in utility — there are brokers, where you can use fiat to purchase crypto-currency at a set price and there are trading platforms, where buyers and sellers can exchange crypto with one another.

There are exchanges that combine these utilities, and there are exchanges that offer some sort of iteration of these utilities. One example of a popular exchange is Coinbase. Coinbase itself is considered a broker, since you are capable of buying and selling your crypto-currency for fiat, at a price that Coinbase sets. Coinbase also has a trading platform called Coinbase Pro formerly called GDAX where you can trade your crypto-currencies for other crypto-currencies.

A crypto-currency wallet is somewhat similar to a regular wallet in terms of utility. A crypto-currency wallet does not actually store crypto, but rather stores your crypto encryption keys, communicates with the blockchain, and allows you to monitor, send, and receive your crypto.

Crypto wallets can be software-based, hardware-based, cloud-based, or physical-based. Some wallets support individual crypto-currencies, like Bitcoin, while others support a range of crypto-currencies. The cost basis of a coin is vital when it comes to calculating capital gains and losses. The cost basis of a coin refers to its original value.

Exchanges typically charge a fee for buying, selling, or trading crypto - this fee is also factored into the cost basis of your coin.

The United States, and many other countries, classify Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies as capital assets — this means that any gains made are treated like capital gains.

Bitcoin is classified as a decentralized virtual currency by the U. The IRS classifies Bitcoin as a property, which is the most relevant classification when it comes to figuring out your crypto-currency gains and losses.

A capital gain, in simple terms, is a profit realized. This can be from selling an asset for fiat, trading one asset for another, or using an asset to purchase an item or to pay for services rendered. A capital gains tax refers to the tax you owe on your realized gains. If you profit off utilizing your coins i. Any losses you incur are weighed against your capital gains, which will reduce the amount of taxes owed. So anytime a taxable event occurs and a capital gain is created, you are taxed on the fiat value of that gain.

A simple example:. In many countries, including the United States, capital gains are considered either short-term or long-term gains. The distinction between the two is simple to understand: long-term gains are gains that are realized on assets that are held for more than 1 year.

Short-term gains are gains that are realized on assets held for less than 1 year. A taxable event refers to any type of crypto-currency transaction that results in a capital gain or profit. Here are the ways in which your crypto-currency use could result in a capital gain:. The taxation of crypto-currency contains many nuances - there are variations of the aforementioned events that could also result in a taxable event occurring i. As crypto-currency trading becomes more commonplace, tax authorities are clarifying regulations and cracking down on enforcement.

Some exchanges, like Coinbase, are have already been ordered by the government to turn over trading data for specific customers. Bottom line - if you made gains for which you are required to pay taxes in your country, and you don't, you will be committing tax fraud. These actions are referred to as Taxable Events.

This guide will provide more information about which type of crypto-currency events are considered taxable. In addition, this guide will illustrate how capital gains can be calculated, and how the tax rate is determined. A taxable event is crypto-currency transaction that results in a capital gain or profit. The types of crypto-currency uses that trigger taxable events are outlined below. Keep in mind, it is important to keep detailed records of when you purchased the crypto-currency and the amount that you paid to acquire it.

These records will establish a cost basis for these purchased coins, which will be integral for calculating your capital gains. Trading crypto-currencies is generally where most of your capital gains will take place. The above example is a trade. It can also be viewed as a SELL you are selling. Any way you look at it, you are trading one crypto for another. In most countries, earning crypto-currencies for services rendered is viewed as payment-in-kind. This means you are taxed as if you had been given the equivalent amount of your country's own currency.

If you are paid wholly in Bitcoins, say 5 BTC, then you would use the fair value. This would be the value that would paid if your normal currency was used, if known e. It's important to keep records of when you received these payments, and the worth of the coins at the time for two tax-related reasons: In terms of an income tax, you'll need to convert the values to fiat when filing income tax related documents i.

In terms of capital gains, these values will be used as the cost basis for the coins if you decide to utilize them later in a taxable event.

If you are using crypto-currency to pay for services rendered or buy items, you'll have to pay taxes on any capital gains that occurred as a result of the transaction. Here's a non-complex scenario to illustrate this:. Paying for services rendered with crypto can be bit trickier.

Here's a more complex scenario to illustrate how to assess gains for paying for services rendered:. Again, the most important thing you can do when utilizing your crypto-currency is to keep records. Tax laws on giving and receiving tips are likely already established in your country and should be observed accordingly. You will similarly convert the coins into their equivalent currency value in order to report as income, if required.

As a recipient of a gift, you inherit the gifted coin's cost basis. It's important to ask about the cost basis of any gift that you receive. Assessing the cost basis of mined coins is fairly straightforward.

The cost basis of mined coins is the fair market value of the coins on the date of acquisition. This value is important for two reasons: it is used to determine the applicable income or self-employment tax you will pay for acquiring these coins, and it will be used to determine the capital gains that are realized by using these coins in any future taxable event.

Keep in mind, any expenditure or expense accrued in mining coins i. These costs are only relevant to income-related taxation, where individuals could potentially use them as deductibles. Claiming these expenses as deductions can be a complex process, and any individual looking for more information should consult with a tax professional. Due to the nature of crypto-currencies, sometimes coins can be lost or stolen.

The Mt. Gox incident is one wide-spread example of this happening. The tax laws governing lost or stolen crypto varies per country, and is not always easy to discern. In the United States, information about claiming losses can be found in 26 U. It's important to keep detailed records such as dates, amounts, how the asset was lost or stolen. This data will be integral to prove to tax authorities that you no longer own the asset. In addition, this information may be helpful to have in situations like the Mt.

Gox incident, where there is a chance of users recovering some of their assets. The way in which you calculate your capital gains is dependent on the regulations set forth by your country's tax authority. Here is a brief scenario to illustrate this concept:. Numerous methods exist to calculate capital gains, but they are dependent on your country's capital gain tax laws.

Canada, for example, uses Adjusted Cost Basis. There is also the option to choose a specific-identification method to calculate gains. Calculating your gains by using an Average Cost is also possible. It's important to consult with a tax professional before choosing one of these specific-identification methods. Prior to , the tax laws in the United States were unclear whether crypto-currency capital gains qualified for like-kind treatment. In simplified terms, like-kind treatment did not trigger a tax event when exchanging crypto for other crypto; a tax event would only be triggered when selling crypto for fiat.

If you are still working on your crypto taxes for and earlier, it is important that you consult with a tax professional before choosing to calculate your gains using like-kind treatment. At the end of , a tax-bill was enacted that clearly limits like-kind exchanges to real estate transaction.

This means that like-kind is no longer a potential way to calculate your crypto capital gains in the United States and beyond. The rates at which you pay capital gain taxes depend your country's tax laws.

An example of each:. Long-term tax rates are typically much lower than short-term tax rates. Ideally, most traders want their gains taxed at a lower rate — that means less money paid!

However, in the world of crypto-currency, it is not always so simple.

what is the basis for bitcoin

Welcome to Blockgeeks

Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and a completely digital money. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that bsis powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for the Internet. Bitcoin can also be seen as the most prominent triple entry bookkeeping system in existence. Bitcoin is the first implementation of a concept called "cryptocurrency", which was first described in whzt Wei Dai on the cypherpunks mailing list, suggesting the idea of a new form of money that hitcoin cryptography to control its creation and transactions, rather than a central authority. The first Bitcoin specification and proof of concept was published in in a cryptography mailing list by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi left the project in late without revealing much about .

Going down the rabbit hole

It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin was invented in by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto [15] and started in [16] when its source code was released as open-source software. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. Bitcoin has been criticized for its use in illegal transactions, its high electricity consumption, price volatility, and thefts from exchanges.

Bitcoin Taxes - The Fundamentals

It is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or single administrator that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin was invented in by an unknown thw or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto [15] and started in [16] when its source code was butcoin as open-source software.

Bass can be exchanged for what is the basis for bitcoin currencies, products, and services. Bitcoin has been criticized for its use in illegal transactions, its high electricity consumption, price volatility, and thefts from exchanges. Some economists, including several Nobel laureateshave tye it as a speculative bubble.

Bitcoin has also been used as an investment, although several regulatory agencies have issued investor alerts about bitcoin. The domain name "bitcoin. On 3 Januarythe bitcoin network was created when Nakamoto mined the first block of the chain, known as the genesis block. The receiver of the first bitcoin transaction was cypherpunk Hal Finneywho had created the first bktcoin proof-of-work system RPoW in Blockchain analysts estimate that Nakamoto had mined about one million bitcoins [32] before disappearing inwhen he handed the network alert key and control of the code repository over to Gavin Andresen.

Andresen later became lead developer at the Bitcoin Foundation. This left opportunity for controversy baxis develop over the future development path of bitcoin, in contrast to the perceived authority bitcooin Nakamoto's contributions.

After early " proof-of-concept " transactions, the first major users of bitcoin were black marketssuch as Silk Road. During its 30 months of existence, beginning in FebruarySilk Road exclusively accepted bitcoins as payment, transacting 9. Litecoinan early bitcoin spin-off or altcoinappeared in October The Bitcoin Foundation was founded in September to fod bitcoin's development and uptake.

In March the blockchain temporarily split into two independent chains with different rules due to a bug in version 0. The two blockchains operated simultaneously for six hours, each with its own version of the transaction history from the moment of the split. Normal operation was restored when the majority of the network downgraded to version 0.

As a result, this blockchain became the longest chain and could be accepted by all participants, regardless of their bitcoin software version. The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network FinCEN established regulatory guidelines for "decentralized virtual currencies" such as bitcoin, classifying American bitcoin miners who sell their generated bitcoins as Money Service Businesses MSBsthat are subject to registration or other legal obligations.

In April, exchanges BitInstant and Mt. On 15 MayUS authorities seized accounts associated with Mt. On 5 Decemberthe People's Bank of China prohibited Chinese financial institutions from using bitcoins.

China banned trading in bitcoin, with first steps taken in Septemberand a complete ban that started on 1 February Bitcoin prices were negatively affected by several hacks or thefts from cryptocurrency exchanges, including thefts from Coincheck what is the basis for bitcoin JanuaryCoinrail and Bithumb in June, and Bancor in July.

The unit of account of the bitcoin system is a bitcoin. Named in homage to bitcoin's creator, a satoshi is the smallest amount within bitcoin representing 0. The bitcoin blockchain is bitvoin public ledger that records bitcoin transactions. A network of communicating nodes running bitcoin software maintains the blockchain.

Network nodes can validate what is the basis for bitcoin, add them to their copy whzt the ledger, and then broadcast these ledger additions to other nodes. To achieve independent verification of the chain of ownership each network node stores its own copy of the blockchain. This allows bitcoin software to determine when a particular bitcoin was spent, which is needed to prevent double-spending.

A conventional ledger records the transfers of actual bills or promissory notes that exist apart from it, but the blockchain is the only place that bitcoins can be said to exist in the form of unspent outputs of transactions.

Transactions are defined using a Forth bticoin scripting language. When a user sends bitcoins, the user designates each address and the amount of bitcoin being sent to that address in an output. To prevent double spending, each input must refer to a previous unspent output in the blockchain. Since transactions can have multiple outputs, users can send bitcoins to multiple recipients in one transaction. As in a cash transaction, the sum of inputs coins used to pay can exceed the intended sum of payments.

In such a case, an additional output is used, returning the change back basks the payer. Though whzt fees are optional, miners bssis choose which transactions to process and prioritize those that pay higher fees.

The size yhe transactions is dependent on the number of inputs used to create the transaction, and the number of outputs. In the blockchain, bitcoins are registered to bitcoin addresses. Creating a bitcoin address requires nothing more than picking a random valid private key and computing the corresponding bitcoin address. This computation can be done in a split second. But the reverse, bitccoin the private http://trackmyurl.biz/trade-bitcoin-private-74.html of a given bitcoin address, is mathematically unfeasible.

Users can gor others or make public a bitcoin address bsais compromising fkr corresponding private key. Moreover, the number of valid private keys is so vast that it is extremely unlikely someone will compute a key-pair that is already in use and has funds.

The vast number of valid click the following article keys makes it unfeasible that brute force could be used to compromise a private key. To be able to spend their bitcoins, the owner must know the corresponding private key and digitally sign the transaction. The network verifies the signature using the public key ; the private key is never gasis.

If the private key is lost, the bitcoin network will not recognize any other evidence of ownership; [36] the coins are then unusable, and effectively lost. To ensure the security of bitcoins, the private key must be kept secret. Regarding ownership distribution, as of 16 March0. Mining is a record-keeping service done through the use of computer processing power. To be accepted by the rest of the network, a new block must contain a proof-of-work PoW. Every 2, blocks approximately 14 days at roughly 10 min per blockthe difficulty target is adjusted based on the network's recent performance, with the aim of keeping the average time between new blocks at ten minutes.

In this way the system automatically adapts to the total amount of mining power on the network. The proof-of-work system, alongside the chaining of blocks, makes modifications of the blockchain extremely hard, as an attacker must modify all subsequent blocks in order for the modifications of one block to be accepted.

The successful miner finding the new block is allowed by the rest of the network to reward themselves with newly created bitcoins and transaction fees. To claim the reward, a special transaction called a coinbase is included with the processed payments. The bitcoin protocol specifies that the reward for adding a block will be halved everyblocks approximately every four years. Eventually, the reward will decrease to zero, and the limit of 21 million bitcoins [g] will be reached c.

New bitcoins are created roughly every ten minutes and the rate at which they are generated drops by half about every four what is the basis for bitcoin until all will be in circulation.

Computing power is often bundled together or "pooled" to reduce variance in miner income. Individual mining rigs often have to ahat for long periods to confirm a block of transactions and receive payment. In a pool, all participating miners get paid every time a participating server solves a block. This payment depends on the amount of work an individual miner contributed to help find that block.

A wallet stores the information necessary to transact bictoin. While wallets are often described as a place to hold [] or store bitcoins, due to the nature of the system, bitcoins are inseparable from the blockchain transaction ledger.

A wallet is more correctly defined as something that "stores the digital credentials for your bitcoin holdings" and allows one to access and spend. There are several modes which wallets can operate in. They have an ia relationship with regards to trustlessness and computational requirements. Third-party internet services called online wallets offer similar functionality but may be easier to use. In this case, credentials to access funds are stored with the online wallet provider rather than on the user's hardware.

A malicious provider or a breach in server security may cause entrusted bitcoins to be stolen. An example of such a security breach occurred basos Mt. Gox in Physical wallets store the credentials necessary to spend bitcoins offline and bitcoun be as simple as a paper printout of the private key: baeis : ch. A paper wallet is created with a keypair generated on a computer with no internet connection ; the private key is written or printed onto the paper [h] and then erased from the computer.

The paper wallet can then be stored in bbasis safe physical location for later retrieval. Bitcoins stored using a paper wallet are said to be in cold storage. Basos just send money from our Bitcoin app directly to those paper wallets, and keep it safe that way. Physical wallets can also take gor form up make bitcoin what can go metal token coins [] with a private key accessible under a security hologram in a bzsis struck on the reverse.

Another type of physical wallet bassi a hardware wallet keeps credentials offline while facilitating transactions. Hardware wallets never expose their private keys, keeping bitcoins ks cold storage even when used with computers that may be compromised by malware. The first vitcoin program, simply named Bitcoinand sometimes referred to as the Satoshi clientwas released in by Satoshi Nakamoto as open-source software.

Bitcoin Core is, perhaps, the best known implementation or client. On 1 Augusta hard fork of bitcoin was created, known as Bitcoin Cash. On 24 October another hard fork, Bitcoin Goldwas created. Bitcoin Gold changes the proof-of-work algorithm used in mining, as the developers felt that mining had become too specialized.

Bitcoin is decentralized: [8]. Researchers have pointed out at a "trend towards centralization". Although bitcoin can be sent directly from user to user, in practice intermediaries are widely used. The pool has voluntarily capped their hashing power at According to researchers, bsis parts of the ecosystem are also "controlled by a small set of entities", notably the maintenance of the client software, online wallets and simplified payment verification SPV clients.

Bitcoin bitcpin pseudonymousmeaning that funds are not tied to real-world entities but thf bitcoin addresses. Owners of bitcoin addresses are not explicitly identified, but all transactions on the blockchain are public.

    No idea if there is any way of telling, but i'd bet my underwear that the percentage of people that read an entire blog is dramatically more than those that watch an entire video blog/review

    Youtube blogs and reviews are great in theory, but arrogance and delusions of grandeur has ruined it to the point that i'll rarely even bother any more.
    Just too many "back yard" reviews and "pre-review" reviews waffling on and on just so they can listen to the sound of their own voice.

    Agree, Gixer; :thumbsup: I like photos, no music and if it's someone making something, no voice, just written instructions.
    One person's tastes in music doesn't always match up with the person's that's watching; can be off-putting and ruin, a potentially good vid'.
    Don't do Facebook; prefer a good Blog.
    Don't do Twitter;
    If I did all that I'd never have time to get outside.

    Cameron M, re Glacier, do you really have to still book each camp?
    Bureaucracy involved with PCT and JMT, makes you want to tear your hair out.

    Blogs - not a fan generally, although I have started one recently myself for a bit of a laugh. So far my only gear post has been on cable ties!

    Facebook - I only do groups now. FB is a linear format. Post today & it's usually buried by tomorrow. Crap format for reference topics/subjects. OK for show & tell, bragging & transient look-at-me fluff.

    Youtube - excellent resource but the video's I enjoy least usually involve the subjects I'm most interested in. The Radio 4 syndrome. I can listen to that all day & be captivated by stuff I have no direct interest in. I go to Youtube for entertainment admittedly but it's been a great resource when wanting to know how to fix something like a dishwasher etc. Video's on my interests - usually over-long, boring with distractingly poor production values. I can rarely watch someone yakking on about kit for more than 5 - 10 minutes. Less is more. The only thing I usually learn from a 30 minute Youtube video is that I'm an idiot for watching it.

    Videos of folk unpacking a parcel of new kit! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

    Twitter - I haven't a clue.

    Forums - many chat & social based forums have suffered due to Facebook which does it better. Forums remain strong if information has to be categorised & organised for reference. Facebook can't do that. I have a couple of forums doing really well which both have over 400 reference subsections. People visit for advice & chat but the purpose of the sites is reference & folk can easily navigate to what they want & add their own info. There are now lots of Facebook groups which share my forums subject matter but I don't see them as a major threat. Forums that aren't mobile friendly aren't doing them selves any favours.

    Nice blog
    Love the Hadrians Wall report:)
    Your blog has been bookmarked.

    I like blogs, I look at many once, some occasionally and follow just a few. Those I follow get weeded regularly - one only has so much time.

    More and more content is out there, doesn't mean more and more is worth reading/watching?
    I'd agree in the main with Gixer's and Ross's points.
    Whilst some is fantastic, good or just plain entertaining, much Youtube stuff I've seen is overlong/poorly edited/boring/excruciatingly presented/produced.:nailbiting: Ain't nobody got time for that! I am very selective these days. We ditched our TV in 1996...
    Also, I find a lot of GoPro footage hard work -makes me travelsick. :meh: And as for those 'videos' which are basically photosets with stock music and cheesy segueing software...:arghh:

    Good blog and enjoyed reading through it. Pictures make me want to go and visit some of those places.

    On a side note I find it a bit disheartening about YouTube comments. The amount of work and time it takes me and others to make a short clip is staggering. But have noticed a lot of the negative comments across many of the forums and as such have actually stopped posting links to them.

    Initial my reasoning was so my wife who wouldn’t dare go on most of my walks and trips could see what it was like. Also thought it may be of interest to some and maybe even be a bit of inspiration to get off there backside and away from the TV, phone and xbox. But just my two pence on the subject.

    Did come across your blog Ross by accident and look forward to see what you add to it. Can only imagine it will be some blinding stuff. You come across as the type of person that dont take many prisoners.

    If you enjoy doing it Ray then surely it's worth it.

    There are many decent reviews and trip reports out there in youtubeland, i always look forward to Matt's trip vids, there is also the guy in Iceland i think that's on here, again really enjoy his trip vids.
    Can't say as i'm very artistic so can't put my finger on exactly what it is i like, the pace and various camera angles help keep me entertained though.
    The impression i get from their vids (there are others but i can't remember them off the top of my head) is that the trip is the star NOT them, i kinda like that.

    Surely there is not a person on this planet that can find some ones 30min pre-review of some kit useful or entertaining?

    First off what's the point of pre-review or unboxing vid?
    Secondly any one that can waffle on for 30 mins to themselves about 1 piece of kit and their decision to choose it, is up their arse to the point they can't see daylight.

    This from a guy that has a tendency to waffle a fair bit in posts :bag:

    If you enjoy putting vids together then surely that's enough, i know my vids i've put up on youtube are absolutely terrible, i have no patience or inclination to sit faffing around with video editors so i just tend to stick mine up as they are and let friends and family that are interested skip through them.

    I'm not a great fan of videos and prefer photo-blogs with a narrative (strange this, as this is what I do); it would be rare indeed if we all liked the same things.

    Actually Ray - I quite enjoyed yours although I'm not keen on music soundtracks usually. I appreciate the effort that goes into making them & amazed anyone can be bothered. You post them & I'll watch them but if they are long I'll likely skip through them. 10 mins is about my max! Most posted by users here are fine but generally there is so much over-long dross on you-tube. I like things in bite size chunks but that's just me!

    Thanks for comments re blog. I hope to keep it up. A curmudgeonly dinosaurs view of backpacking.

    Paraphernalia maybe? My major gear refresh prior to last season may be new kit but still at the Traditional end of the spectrum - double skin tent, sleeping bag, Paramo. My ultra trad rucsac is now ready to collect. Dabbled with a ULA Ohm2 - didn't like it. You're unlikely to find me in a Cuben (or any fabric) single skin shelter. I dabbled with a Contrail - didn't like it. I like a proper tent but may choose to leave the inner (note inner - not a nest) at home. I also have a hooped bivvy - nothing radical. Likely only ever use on bike. Couple of old geodesics for base camping. Nor will you see me buying a quilt when I can unzip my sleeping bag like I always have. The concept & design inspiration of my stove pre-dates most if not all people on this forum. Mostly a Paramo wearer in winter. Pretty trad I reckon. No kilts, skirts, coolie rain hats, umbrella's, dirty girls. No high tech trail shoes - use clumpy looking old style design from Altberg. Food - don't even go there.

    Thanks all for the nice comments. Next year I will be asking for advice on a UK hike, its been awhile.

    Some mention the difficulty of permits and the PCT-JMT. Really, it is easy, and these days I almost always just walk-in. The worst that can happen is that you sit around one day waiting to get in the door first for next day. More than half of the time you get what you want that morning. Once you pass trailhead, you are free to go anywhere, camp anywhere. The only minor exceptions are Donohue Pass going south, and entering at Whitney, but there many well-documented work-arounds. Glacier National Park is not the same situation; I would not risk just showing up. My experience is limited there, but even getting a permit shoulder season was challenging, with rules not listed on the site, etc. But the Sierra are big and wide-open, so don't hesitate, I hope to meet you on the trail soon.

    Thanks for the link - great blog and pics. Just read your GR20 trip. I hadn`t heard that they kept the cirque section closed after the big accident in 2015 (I was there when it happened). I found a map and the new route looks actually more interesting than the slightly over-hyped cirque (and bearing in mind your rain advice). Good reason to go back some time...

Are Most of us Judging Institutions Correctly?   The National government recently started the College Scorecard that helps scholars and their moms and dads evaluate some sort of searchable list of colleges to see how the яюe associated with a college compares to the budgetary success with its scholar. Also the coed Right to Discover Before You Go Function requires educational institutions to survey such things as their rate for remedial sign up, the rate about accumulated facebook credits, the average personal debt of it is students, and the average getting of it is graduates.

Those measures is a natural response to the expanding cost of higher education education. Yet we you can ask, is examining the value of a university or a college education generally speaking on go back of expenditure criteria simplest way to go?

Initial, data could be misleading. For example , earnings of latest college participants may not perfectly reflect their own life-time potential earnings, in particular as different graduates look up the right career fit, have fun outside their valuable planned profession, and battle with the first steps of any new occupation. Also the importance of a job may not correlate merely to salary. Many doctors, professors, and expert find quality value in their give good results not owing to money won, but given that they enjoy helping, influencING children, or helping people to much better places of their lives.

Actually , shouldn’t many of us be interested in a school education not only for the achievements of the unique but also for the main success of our own world area. Weiterlesen

Well inside your don't know who Chris Brown might be you have never been seeing and hearing R&B radio lately and definitely never have be investigating some for this latest online videos. Chris Brown is tarring inside the charts with songs like "Gimme That", "Run It" and "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" just to name several. But will be the real Chris Dark brown.

Let your gift let them know how much you service. A poetry gift frame as well a simple but meaningfully worded card can convey how important the retiree is in your life.

This is not your [[website>http://www.healthable.org/?s=website]] . it does not take Company's Website . would like to to you could make your own presence, your own piece of internet RealEstate .not The Affiliate's Program "Website".

Don't feel you need spend tons of money in the casino, an individual don't have to. Not only can I stay for free, but I will stay cost free up to 4 times per monthly. My Mom also has a Player's card, and we often stay for two nights in the row, we work 1 day and get a free day's relaxation, since! The Player Reward card is free and you'll receive offers for discount Concert [[Niall horan tickets>http://www.niallhorantickets.org/]] it is actually headline acts in their theatres, free gifts, anyway i.e., coffee pot, jackets, umbrellas etc.

For within the serious types, they can market tickets in copious grades. These tickets will have to have every form and genre possible in order to get constant sales all year round. If they sell [[tickets>http://Search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=tickets]] just for the winter season, an amount become of these during summer? Will their funds get dehydrated, too?

Once they're on your list after that you can inform them about your Affiliate Website(s). Better yet, you can send the your own website which includes links for the various Affiliate products you fit in with.

If happen to be truly unique, it no matter how lots of other people are developing the same market. Brad Paisley doesn't try being like George Strait. Sugarland doesn't be like Carrie Underwood. Rest is really thinking concerning your unique benefits and making sure they are expressed in most element of your business communication - in-person, print materials, websites, phone conversations, or anything else. In marketing we call video USP (Unique Selling Proposition). If you don't have a USP, or know what it is, or incorporate in altogether aspects of one's business, you're just maintaining, at best. But the goal of an organization should be to grow up. You're either growing or loss of life. If you can't handle, or don't in order to handle, growth, sell firm to an individual who does.

Internet always saves period while buying tickets but it also has its own disadvantages like getting cheated. Examine the site where you are buying the flight tickets. Look for reviews or complains by previous users. Guaranteed that in order to paying any secure payment gateway. Buying tickets through your counter helps you to save from type of an affair. Also try request for authentic tickets from the seller. Sometimes the same ticket comes to more than one man or women. So try buying tickets coming from the most trusted and famous online sellers only.

ASPs Expand Their Offerings and Customer Base
by Mitchell Levy
Executive Producer,

It was just two short years ago that the acronym ASP first appeared on the horizon of leading market research firms. Less than a year later, major data centers including Exodus, Navisite, and AboveNet were planning their revenue growth on professional services to support Internet firms who host business applications including Microsoft Office, Siebel sales automation, and ERP applications from SAP and PeopleSoft.

Related terminology:

  • ASP Application Service Provider
  • AIP Application Infrastructure Provider
  • BSP Business Service Provider
  • CSP Commerce Service Provider
  • ISV Independent Software Vendor
  • NSP Network Service Provider
  • SI/VAR Systems Integrators/Value Added Resellers
  • SSP Storage Service Provider

What is an ASP?

Exactly what is an ASP? Essentially, an ASP is a vendor who makes applications available on a subscription basis. An application service provider manages and delivers application capabilities to multiple businesses from data centers across a wide area network. ASPs give customers a viable alternative to procuring and implementing complex systems themselves. In some cases, ASPs even provide customers with a comprehensive alternative to building and managing internal information technology operations.

Value proposition of an ASP:

The value proposition of an ASP is simple: a hosted and managed solution, often custom engineered to provide rapid implementation. ASPs often provide process support, in essence appearing to be a 24/7 IT service bureau. ASPs like Corio and Oracle can provide effortless progression to each new version of the applications, which now appear as a continuum of evolution and (sightless) improvements, with no incremental jumps in the learning curve. This creates significant cost savings for customers, allows easy support, and provides an environment for simplified upgrades and future applications additions. ASP customers also are able to more precisely control the total cost of technology ownership through scheduled payments, rather than having to make large capital equipment investments with and manage complicated depreciation schedules.

History of ASPs:

The first ASP implementations were not recognized as such; these were our our email services provided by ISPs, and later the web hosting services that accompany most ISP offerings. Electronic commerce packages, which once were the domain of complex solutions installed and configured on custom built servers and hosted in co-location centers, are now being offered by CSPs - ISPs acting as Commerce Service Providers. In the last year, the majority of tier-one ISPs have purchased complete offerings from Intershop, Open Market, and Mercantec, and re-licensed them to subscribers. In addition to remote hosting, these solutions were configurable through a Web browser, making set-up, configuration, and maintenance much easier.

Where they fit:

Today there are over 500 ASPs who are providers of hosted applicationsand managed services, and facilitators of complete end-to-end business solutions. BSPs (Business Service Providers) now act as virtual business partners that provide choices regarding how software applications are managed and delivered. Oracle now offers its own ASP solution for ERP services, hosting it along with the Oracle 8.i software rather than selling directly. Corio hosts both SAP and Peoplesoft ERP systems as a managed business solution, rather than simply timeshare on a complex application framework.

New ASP Solutions:

But ASPs offer common solutions, where timeshare is the working model. Microsoft partnered with Corio to offer its complete Office solution to large enterprises, saving in cost of installation and support. More importantly, customers can pay based on measured use, rather than having to pay high up-front fees for thousands of independent workstations. A new class of ASPs offering network storage (SSPs) gives firms network access to unlimited storage on a pay-per-use basis, easing rapid storage demands of enterprise intranets. Seagate announced an alliance with HP a year ago to integrate its network storage solutions with HP's e-services offering. TurboTax, known for its income tax workstation software, made a decision to become a completely online service, and has a goal of processing 80% of all US tax returns online by 2007.

Free ASPs:

More recently, Internet high flyers such as Hotmail and Geocities became household words as free ASP services became adopted by the majority of email and web hosting sites. Today, over a dozen free e-commerce ASPs exist, with clustered business packages offered to complete the web store presence. Free B2B service now include Internet fax, voice mail, virtual meeting centers, and calendaring services.

Role of the Data Center:

Forward-thinking co-location firms Exodus and AboveNet were early to recognize the need to support ASPs with more than just world-class data center space. Exodus, which played an active role in the early formation and guidance of the ASP consortium (, recognized the need for professional services to support ASPs with database and infrastructure engineering, advanced monitoring, failover, and data back-up services. Exodus created a services unit expressly to help ASPs grow as e-businesses, and today almost 25% of Exodus' revenue is derived from professional services.

The evolution of the model now includes ASPs connected to other ASPs to offer building blocks of complete e-business solutions; desktop and messaging, financial management, Customer Relationship Management, procurement, human resources, and business intelligence. Two data center firms to watch here are Navisite, a CMGI company, and Corio, both operating in California.

Navisite was early on the scene in clustered ASP offerings, but wasn't originally recognized as a provider of such. The CMGI investment approach has been to acquire Internet firms and merge their core competencies inside their data centers. Navisite offers high end web hosting, server and database management services, and combines them with an ad serving engine all under one roof. NaviSite also offers wholesale ASP services to ISV partners, who in turn can offer this software as an application service to their members. From multimedia applications to online catalogs to web tools, ISV partners offer a diverse array of application services, becoming a "downstream enabled" CSP by virtue of NaviSite's services.

Corio has gone far beyond the first generation ASP model of simply reselling and hosting a point application. Corio brought together industry-leading applications for each functional area across the enterprise, and offers them as a fully integrated solution over a secure network, for a monthly fee. In order to offer this to customers in a supportable and replicable way, Corio provides the solutions from a common technology platform. Integrations, customizations and other technology features are written once and deployed everywhere, using their OrionT platform.

Internet Computing, the n-tier e-business model, and the Future of ASPs:

Oracle invented the Internet Computing Model, and more lately has joined firms including IBM to push n-tier computing, which uses "middleware" to connect Web and application servers to back-end legacy systems. Both Internet computing and the n-tier architecture have extended the reach of ASP technology; starting from a Web / application server, the ASP can now reach deeply into legacy systems of large enterprises, or through EIA (Enterprise Integration Applications) to interconnect business applications from any company to any other company. In so doing, a fluid system of architectural technologies creates the foundation for business process at the IP layer. This forms the basis for interconnected ASPs, an ecosystem for the next generation of e-business. (The ecosystem concept is practically in the public domain).

Creating new business models:

ASPs have risen far past being service providers, by creating custom offerings that encompass the complete business needs of both brick and mortar and Internet companies They offer the ability to create a completely virtual business where everything is outsourced, and companies can be launched with little more than brand, patents, and vision. ASP packages for ERP and supply chain, manufacturing (MRO), and financial management offer any company in a supply or value chain the ability to participate in engagements of any length, simply based on business rules and availability of physical resources. With the ability to inter-link and integrate electronic commerce applications through ASPs like Corio and NaviSite, the future of the digital economy will be defined by invention of business models, not automated business process.

The ASP consortium, founded a little over a year ago, started with 90 charter members, and has grown to over 400 companies today. It will probably have over 1,000 members by the end of 2001. The ASP market itself may grow to include all "shrink wrap" packaged offerings, i.e., Microsoft Office and TurboTax, within 5 to 10 years, replacing half the desktop and workstation applications in home, SME, and enterprise markets.

Just as Web hosting has become a function that is more commonly outsourced than not, complicated and mission critical business applications such as ERP systems are expected to be outsourced more often than not by 2005. More importantly, almost 80% of new ERP implementations will be hosted by ASPs such as Corio and Oracle. The real growth could be the 8 million small businesses that will require digital connectivity to the business processes and rules of suppliers and customers as the Fortune 5000 companies migrate to a completely digital platform, and require everyone in the value chain to participate. Though the ASP market and model is still relatively new, computer industry analysts foresee rapid growth and multi-billion-dollar annual sales within the next few years. But as industry leaders like NaviSite, Exodus, Corio, Oracle, IBM and HP have shown, the real contribution of the ASP may be in its nexus of the digital ecosystem.

Let me leave you with a few of my favorite quotes this month:

I am based in Taiwan and work the Asia Pacific region. I do not see much of an increase towards ASP's for Foreign companies. The older senior management just do not "get it"... Why buy, maintain and support what you can lease. The forecast costs are fixed and you do not have to support a software team.

(David Hemmings, President, Global Stallion Ltd., TAIWAN)

In a way, it's a throw back to the days when 'bureaus' would rent time and space on mainframes. The software is a LOT different, but the concept is not new.

(K.G., Silicon Valley, California, USA)

Many companies, large and small, are beginning to consider and use ASPs. The value is particularly high for companies with distributed workforces and those who want to track and manage their software and IT services more efficiently.

The superb choice of holiday resorts is second to none, and for many people, the best lie among the islands of the Quirimbas Archipelago, a chain of small islands off the North-East coast of the country. Situated in the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean, ringed by glorious white sand beaches and stunning coral reefs, is the spectacular and tranquil island paradise that is Vamizi Island, a holiday destination that cannot be beaten

Vamizi Island offers a chance to experience genuine peace and tranquillity, with a selection of luxuriously appointed villas dotted around the island in the most impressive locations. Each offers access to the superb beaches and offers astonishing levels of luxurious accommodation.

Your soul will be revived here!

Diving and snorkelling are a must – the coral reefs are stunning and the marine life living here unique – and can be arranged by the team on the island, while other activities available include kayaking, dhow cruises, nature walk and excellent game fishing, plus the opportunity to embark on whale watching expeditions in-season. With more than 20 years experience in arranging packages to the island nobody can offer you personal experience and expertise of Vamizi Island like we can, and we can possibly arrange for discounts of as much as 15% on some packages.

With a team of expert travel consultants who know the island better than anybody we are perfectly placed to help you book the dream holiday of a lifetime on this amazing private island, so you can bask in the splendour of a place that will take your breath away and cleanse your soul.

NINE Questions with Julie Lerman
Julie Lerman is one of the hippest, smartest people I know. If you haven’t already heard of her, this is your chance to crawl out from under that rock and get a glimpse of an industry legend. Don’t worry about that giant ball of fire in the sky, that’s just the sun. Those of you that HAVE heard of Julie probably already know how awesome she is, but keep reading anyway. My first introduction to Julie was hearing Bill Ryan refer to someone as “Julie Lerman smart.” I figured that was enough of a recommendation ......

NINE Questions with Shawn Weisfeld
I’ve known Shawn for a few years now, mostly through his work with the developer community and of course his affiliation with INETA. I figured it was time you got to know him as well. Here are NINE Questions with Shawn Weisfeld: 1. Where are you from? I was born in Brooklyn New York and moved to South Florida when I was still in grade school. After graduating from high school I moved to Orlando to go to college at the University of Central Florida. There I was introduced to my first User Group, the ......

reduced output
In the next few weeks, I'll be wrapping up my current assignment in South Dakota, taking a week for TechEd and then (assuming all goes well) starting my next assignment. In the middle of all this, I'm also studying for one of the MCSD -> MCPD Enterprise Application Developer upgrade exams (there are 2.) As you can imagine, all of this (coupled with my recent Mafia Wars addiction) is rather time consuming, so I'll be cutting back on the blog entries for a while, aside from the occasional announcement ......

Welcome to the Neighborhood
We have a really great community here at Like any neighborhood though, you need to help cultivate it... run a little neighborhood watch now and then. That way, when the occasional "loud stereo guy" or crackhouse moves into your neighborhood... it gets handled pretty quick. John and Jeff do a great job of providing us this community for FREE. Sure we get a little spam now and then, but these guys take very fast measures to respond and delete whenever there's a problem. There's ......

Mafia Wars
If you're on Facebook and you haven't given Mafia Wars a try, you should really check it out. It's nothing revolutionary or difficult, but it's well done and pretty fun.

and of course, if you ARE playing, and we're FB friends... well, I'd like to make you an offer you can't refuse.

thoughts on the Stimulus Plan
I received this via email as a joke, but... why not? Food for thought. Dear Mr. President: Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They ......

rules for a happy life
Throughout my life, as I get older and (hopefully) wiser, I have this philosophy for a happy life. I figured now was as good a time as any to put it in writing and share it with whomever else might need it. I don't necessarily follow all of these to the letter, but in general, I try... 1) Sometimes a joke is just a joke. People will occasionally say stuff in an effort to be funny, that ends up offending you. If the intent is to offend, that's different. Otherwise, don't take yourself so damn seriously. ......

JungleDisk Windows Home Server Plugin
I'm thinking about giving JungleDisk a try for backing up my Windows Home Server. I see on their site that they have a WHS plugin. Currently, it's in beta, and therefore "free" but will eventually cost money. (They don't say how much.)

So I'm wondering, those of you that use JungleDisk, or that may have used this plugin for WHS... what do you think of it? Pretty happy?

I'd like to hear any comments you may have on it (especially the WHS plugin), good or bad.

I just got here, and it's already time to go
Well, my Hawaii trip is just about over. Feels like I just got here. The Hawaii .NET User Group that I spoke at last night was a really great bunch. The room was packed and people were standing at the entrance. Someone even told me it was some of the highest attendance in the groups 5 year history. The talk went really well. I covered some of the more popular Social Networking sites and discussed the various types of sites for the first part of the talk, and then spent the second half discussing ......

Adventures at 36,000 feet
Yesterday, I took the longest plane ride of my life so far. (Yes, I know some of you international rock star types have taken longer, but this is my story.) Eight and a half hours (5 time zones) later and I’m sitting in Honolulu. I knew I was in for an adventure when I got to my seat and noticed the “in-flight entertainment system” which consisted of personal monitors for every seat and on demand movies and video games. woot! I had some work to do, but I had also spent a good chunk of my Easter weekend ......

TurboTax vs Real Humans
I've used TurboTax for years. If I had to guess, I'd say I used it for at least the last 7 years. I've always gotten pretty good results with it, and only owed money once (not their fault) and have been pretty happy with it. This year though, faced with the prospect of owing a fair amount of my hard earned $$, I decided to forego TurboTax and take everything I had to an actual TaxPreparer. After entering in all my w2 and 1099 information, and all the standard stuff that turbotax asks you, she turns ......

Support Through Friendship & Unity
Dear Friends, Throughout my career, I have come in contact with so many people who needed a sympathetic ear or a shoulder to cry on. Sadly, as much as I would like to, I just can't help everyone. I’m only ONE man. So I have taken it upon myself, after years of experience to come up with a system that REALLY works: Support Through Friendship & Unity is that system. If you're having a bad day, Support Through Friendship & Unity can make it more manageable for everyone. Take a moment to pause, ......

NINE Questions with Jim Duffy
I’ve known Jim Duffy for almost 6 years now, and I can honestly say he thinks he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. When I first asked Jim to do a NINE Questions interview, back in September, he was delighted to have an opportunity to talk about his favorite subject. Fast-forward 7 months and welcome to the longest NINE Questions interview ever. Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Jim Duffy. 1. Where are you from? A long time ago in a galaxy far away... oh wait, that one's already been used. ......

NINE Questions with Rich Quackenbush
I’ve known Rich for a little over 10 years now and he’s definitely one of the more interesting people I’ve worked with in my career. I recently saw him again a couple weeks ago at the Roanoke Code Camp and he agreed to answer these NINE Questions: 1. Where are you from? I currently work from home, which is outside of Roanoke, VA. I grew up in upstate NY though. That gives me the right to say things to the locals like “You call that snow? I used to live next to Canada.” 2. What do you do / Who do ......

Winter Fun
Yesterday morning, I woke up to find myself in the middle of a nasty little blizzard. If you've ever seen the McMurdo Station (Antarctica) Condition 1 video, it looked kinda like that (more or less.) It was pretty awful. Visibility was limited to pretty much as far as I could reach with my arm, and even though I knew WHERE my car was, it still took me a few moments to actually find it. Once I got in my car, let it warm up, scraped all the windows and windshield, I got back in only to realize that ......
