The glass slipper and the cane

cinderellaThe dress was sublime to look at and divine on her.  Trimmed with lace and a multitude of petticoats hidden under the skirt. It was strangely light and flowing. The bodice had been cinched tight to her slender waist and the short sleeves puffed gently about her shoulders. The colour was a cornflower blue and the fabric silk. Standing before the mirror, she swooned at her own reflection.

Her hair had been braided up and about her neck a pearl necklace. She fingered it and turned to smile at her companion.

“Thank you, so much,” she said almost tearfully. “This is beyond my wildest dreams.”

“Go, my dear,” said the elderly lady. “Don’t be late back, remember?”

“I won’t be.”

The carriage bounced along the road and she peered out of the window at the streets and houses. There were many such carriages travelling to a single destination: the royal palace. It was as the coachman lowered the steps, that she caught a glimmer of her shoes. The glass glittered in the lights.

Unsure what to do, she followed a crowd up the stairs to the entrance hall. A massive structure of marble and porcelain floor tiles. Pausing, she soaked up the ambience and heard the distant music. Waiting in line to be announced, she panicked. What name to give?

She gave her real name – Ella and her place of birth as her surname. A distance province, which she had left as a small child. Nobody recognised her name or face, but many stopped to stare at her beauty.

Offers were made to take her hand for a dance and she took the opportunities given to help steady her nerves. Gradually she accepted her surroundings. The gilt mirrors, the enormous portraits of bygone royalty and the chandeliers. She giggled at the compliments and curtseyed at the end of each dance, then declined another.

It was not long before she was noticed.

She watched him, staring at her, calling a footman to his side. Pointing at her, the footman speaking and the other’s puzzled expression. He had never heard of her.  His face became intrigued, curious and it made her tingle to know he was showing interest in her presence.

Without warning, he strode across the length of the ballroom and stood before her.

She shrank back from him. His stature, deportment and handsome features stunned her into a fit of stammers. She could barely answer his questions and it did not help that she was being deliberately evasive.

“Dance with me!” he commanded.

“Your Highness,” she acquiesced.

She was besotted with immediately and gave him her sweetest smile.  His white teeth flashed back at her and it accentuated his fine features. Like all princes, he had been cast from some perfect mould and he had been kept in a refined state with the use of daily exercise and tailored clothes. She envied him, his upbringing and freedoms.  Above all else, she had a yearning to know him more, to dig beneath the regal façade and find the man beneath.

She decided the feelings towards each other were mutual. He took her to one side, after their dance, and flattered her with words and compliments until she turned crimson.  He gave a nod to a distance footman and took her elbow in his firm hand.

“Come, sweet girl.” The prince led her out of the room and down a corridor. The footman led the way, opening doors and closing them behind the couple.

“Where are we going, sir?” she asked.

“To explore you,” he said beguilingly.

“Oh, sir,” she stuttered and a strange rush of butterflies burst alive in her belly. “I’ve never been explored before. I’m untouched!”

“Don’t be afraid. I would like to know you better,” he said shutting the door behind them.

It was not a bedroom. She was relieved. The drawing room had many features to catch her eyes, but she could not stop looking at the expectant features of the prince.

“I have been charged, by my dear parents, to find a wife,” he said beginning to pace up and down. “Many ladies of the realm, who on first sight, might appear to be suitable. However, on closer inspection many seem to be doctored in some way. Faces plastered with thick blemish hiding creams. Wigs instead of natural hair and figures held in place by the most rigid of corsets. I want to know you are the genuine thing, my pretty girl.”

“What do you want me to do, Highness?” she said nervously.

“Take the pins out of your hair, let it fall naturally.”

She did as he asked and the locks bounced on to her shoulders. He traced his fingers through the strands, tucking slightly until she winced. He murmured his approval.

Next, his fingers ran around her eyes, wiping her skin with the tips. He examined the flesh closely and determined there was little coverage, she rarely used face paints to hide blemishes.

“Excellent,” he smiled. “Now, lift up your skirts, so I might see your ankles.”

She crouched slightly, not wishing to bend down too low and with shaking hands, she raised the skirt hem above her ankles.

“Most delicate, your ankles are quite slender,” he admired. “Higher, to your knees.”

The skirt rose up higher and she was required to gather up the petticoats in her trembling hands.  Never before had a man seen her legs in such an exposed fashion.

“Higher still,” he said softly.

Her gartered thighs were exposed and her knees were practically knocking together.

“More,” he whispered.

She dropped her skirts in horror. “I cannot, sir!”

“I asked, Ella, and you should obey your prince,” he said raising his voice.

“Please, do not ask me. What is it you wish to see of me?”

“Your bottom, sweet girl. A fanny needs to be lush and pleasurable to a man’s eyes. Now lift up your skirts.”

She could not resist his tone and she edged up the skirt ends until her bloomers were visible.

“Oh, no, this will not do. I cannot see your outline through these panties. Turn around and take them down.”

“Please, please. I can’t!” exclaimed Ella horrified. She did not want him to see what lay beneath. The idea was humiliating and complicated by his unknown intentions.

“Do it!”

Again his voice knocked on her inner door of inhibitions and she swung it open. Shifting on her feet, she faced the wall, took hold her waistband and slipped it down. Tears trickled down her cheeks, as she let her naked bottom be seen.

“What is this?” he boomed making her jump.

Over her shoulder, she could see the surprise in his face.

Seeing her tears, he softened his facial expression. “Tell me. Who did this to you?”

The stripes were crimson red and criss-cross her buttocks from one side to the other.

“My step-mother. The baroness,” said Ella meekly. “Well, not her, she orders it. My step-sisters usually cane me.”

“Last night.”

“Why?” he continued to pepper her with questions.

“I believe, I was disrespectful,” said Ella. “Please may I drop my skirts.”

The prince nodded at her. “Disrespectful?”

“I asked to come here and she refused me. So I displayed my anger at her.”

“You should not be here?” he queried and behind him, on the mantelpiece, the clock chimed loudly.

“Oh no!” cried out Ella. “I must go. Now. Please forgive me.”

Springing to life, Ella ran for the door and bolted out as fast as her glass slippers could take her dainty feet. As she ran, a slipper fell away and it was left behind on the marble floor.  She thought nothing of it, she was late.

Upon reaching home she charged into the hallway, bare footed and dishevelled, and Ella was confronted by a most unwanted sight. The one chair in the open space was occupied by the baroness. Dress in her own finery, she had left the ball early to come and wait there at the bottom of the stairs.  Ella guessed she had been spotted and now her disobedience had been witnessed there was nothing she could do to prevent the inevitable. Across the lap of her step-mother was the dread cane.

Ella’s late arrival back, her deception, warranted another sound caning by the eldest step-sister. She was then placed in her ragged clothes and sent to the kitchen. The baroness locked the door while continuing to berate Ella as an ungrateful disobedient child.

“I’m not a child!” screeched Ella through the wooden door. “I’m a lady.”

“Do you want another beating?” shouted back her step-mother.

The weeping could be heard through the door and into the early hours. By then, the exhausted Ella had fallen asleep in front of the dying embers of the fire. Rising early, she began to prepare the breakfast. The door was unlocked, to allow the cook and her assistant to join Ella. They hugged the her and offered their words of comfort.

“Take heart, Ella,” said the cook. “You made it to the ball. Was it not worth it?”

Ella confessed it was, even though she carried many stripes on her bottom.

There were voices raised above her head, somewhere on the upper floors, men’s voices were shouting. It became apparent it was her name.

“Ella!” his voice was distinctive.

“I’m here, sir,” she called up.

The prince ran into the kitchen with the baroness and her daughters stampeding behind him, spouting out excuses.

“She is nothing but a disobedient servant,” said the baroness.

The prince stopped in the door of the kitchen and took in his newfound beauty. Even under the cinders, Ella maintained her natural good looks. Her hair hung about her, no longer in braids, her face was marked with ash and her dress patched with different pieces of fabric. Her feet were bare and she felt ashamed at her appearance.

Their eyes met, as they do with lovers and the stare said far more than words would ever do.

“I found you,” said the prince in relief. He collected her in his arms and held her tightly. Ella rested her head on his shoulder. It was his roving hand, which trailed down her back and came to her bottom, which caused her to yelp and jump.

“What is this!” roared the prince, lifting up her rags and seeing the fresh marks.

The baroness backed away. “I told her not to go!” she flustered.

“Who applied these stripes?” he asked again. “Ella?”

Ella pointed a finger at her eldest step-sister. “She, sir. And her sister too. They took turns.”

The prince summoned his valets and dismissed the other servants of the house. Shutting the kitchen door behind him, he began to remove his trouser belt. Ella blanched.

“Oh, not you, my sweet”, he reassured. “You will assist the two ladies in removing their clothes. The baroness can watch me discipline her daughters.”

It took the assistance of the valets to strip the two young ladies naked. They were allowed nothing to cover their nudity while their mother stood by aghast and humiliated. Each daughter received the thrashing while the other watched. The prince did not hold back from the sweep of his arm and when he commanded the second to bend over the kitchen table, she did so only because he threatened to have her held down by his valets.  The servants in the upper quarters could hear the wails from afar and smiled with satisfaction.  The dreadful family of women were finally receiving their comeuppance and their friend had been rescued.

Ella left the house and never went back. She did not see her step-mother or step-sisters again. They were banished from the city and court.

Marrying her prince, she asked what would happen if she disobeyed him.

“Why, sweet princess, do you think I would beat you?” he asked as slipped off her chemise.

A bristle went over her unblemished, healed skin. “I hope not, sir.”

“However,” he said with a small smile. “I think you might appreciate me better if I took you over my lap from time to time.”

“Really?” she said with a quiver.

“Just a special spanking, between you and my hand. Nothing else.”

Ella took his hand and kissed the back of it. “Thank you, my darling husband. I do need to be reminded from time to time. After all I did go to the ball without permission.”

There was a twinkle in her eye as she spoke. The prince did not mind. He liked a little spark in his wife.

Miles Davis Podcast:  Prelude

Miles Davis Podcast: Prelude

April 7, 2010 Off By The Jazz Messenger

Since producing the ground-breaking and popular podcast series The Traneumentary-Celebrating the Music of John Coltrane in 2007, I switched gears for a bit and spent some time in the worlds of pop, classical and broadway. My podcast productions include Elvis Costello, Yo-Yo Ma, Billy Joel, Stephen Sondheim, Motown, Michael Jackson and others. I eventually made my way back into the jazz realm with podcasts featuring Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. Because The Traneumentary was the first of its kind, much of it was improvised along the way, making it a really intense trial by fire kind of experience. Working on these other projects gave me a fresh perspective so when it came time to tackle the Miles Davis series, I was ready.

So in 2009, I assembled a record label collective (as I did with The Traneumentary) with Sony, Concord, Verve and Rhino and I set out to produce The Miles Davis Podcast. Miles was different from Coltrane in that his career span was longer so there were more recordings to cover. There is also more variety in the styles of his work and his evolution as an artist. That required a more diverse cast of characters that ranged from his legendary contemporaries Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter, to top notch jazz artists like Steve Kuhn, Randy Brecker, Maria Schneider, Ethan Iverson, and more recent collaborators Marcus Miller and Easy Mo Bee. I also included a host of varying musicians heavily influenced by Miles including Derek Trucks, Henry Rollins, Chris Botti, Nels Cline and many others.

Producing the Miles series was just as challenging and stimulating as the Traneumentary, plus it had the added benefit of not being first. It took a year to produce and I could have have easily kept on going – savoring the legacy of Miles and the profound affect he had on jazz, music, art and life. It’s a bad-ass collection (if I do say so myself) and this experience inspired the relaunch of Jazz Online. Take a listen for yourself – I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together and feel free to comment and share your own personal story about the artistry of Miles Davis.

JCThe concept of creativity is that it knows no boundaries. We got our first taste of the charms of the visual medium with advertisement making. Later, the enticement of the big screen drew us into the commercial film industry. The challenge of film making lies in the ability to conceptualize, create and execute a convincing and captivating visual story that excites and holds the audience.

Besides our upcoming movie Maazii, work is already in progress on other commercial film projects and we will be targeting three releases this year.

In addition to commercial cinema, we would also considering venturing into short films and art films in the future.

Maazii is essentially a thriller that travels from the hills of Mussoorie to the plains of western UP. It is a story about a couple Tarun (Sumit Nijhawan) and Shrishti (Mona Wasu) who have a near perfect relationship. However, by a twist of fate, an unfortunate accident occurs which brings Tarun's life into the limelight and turns him into a hero overnight. The events that follow not only shatter the peaceful life of the family but also put them in grave danger. But when his daughter, Minal (Saanvi Sharma) is kidnapped at the hands of an unknown assailant, Tarun will stop at nothing to get her back safely. He must now return to his roots and find out who is wreaking havoc in his life and what is the motive behind it.

The first half of the film was shot in the scenic locations of Mussourie and Dehradun, and the second half was mostly shot in the rustic and raw locations of Meerut. The flashback portion of the film was filmed in Rao Raj Vilas fort of Jat Jagirdar of Kuchesar, near Meerut. The shooting was completed within the pre-decided schedule of 31 days from 29 October to 2 November 2012. The production budget was around Rs. Four Crores.

The film was released across the country on 27 September 2013. However, being a debutorial venture without any big names attached to it, despite great critical acclaim, Maazii failed to get many screens. On 2 October, Besharam's release wiped Maazii out of theaters, but since Besharam tanked, Maazii got another opportunity and was re-released in cinemas on 11 October 2013.

Critical acclaim

Despite being Jaideep Chopra's debut directorial, Maazii received good critical acclaim and his work as a director was appreciated. Renowned critic Subhash K. Jha, called it "the shocking surprise of the season." He also stated that Maazii "takes us back to the stylish thrillers of B.R. Chopra like Dhund and Ittefaq. Debutant Jaideep Chopra's film is well-crafted and thoughtfully scripted. It's an original idea executed in a gripping language. Worth a dekko for its suspenseful aura."

Rohit Vats from IBN7 gave Maazii a rating of 4/5 stars and was all praises for the film. He claimed that Maazii shows "a glimpse of the latent potential of the gangster genre" and was "not to be missed" India Today's Faheem Ruhani mentioned in his review that "Director Jaideep Chopra's debut directorial Maazii is that pleasant surprise which hits you once in a while."

"Maazii" was also listed as one of the 10 "small films/non-star cast films that made it big" in 2013 in an article in DNA newspaper.

Despite good critic reviews, the film was not given many screens. In an interview, the producers of the film reported that several multiplex chains had demanded money in return for giving them shows.This led to a wave of controversy with several other producers and directors coming forward to claim that they had faced similar extortion at the hands of multiplex chains.

The music score of the film was composed by the duo Faizan Hussain-Agnel Roman, Maazii being their first commercial film album. Faizan Hussain is the nephew of tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain. Lyrics for the album were written by Swanand Kirkire and Arun Kumar. The preparation for the songs and selection of music started as early as May 2012. Recording of the songs began in October 2012.

They boys have officially started school at their new school. Reed is in Second Grade and Nash is in First Grade.

Nash was really excited about his new teacher, Mrs. Crouch. She is really great.

Reed has a super cool teacher named Mrs. Jones. He really likes her alot.

Reed is excited to be back with his BFF from babyhood, Britton, but he really misses his first school BFF Connor.

Nash has enjoyed seeing lots of his church buddies, but I think he misses his buddy Quintan.

All in all, we are very happy with their new school. We are happy with our the boys have adjusted to their new school.

Is Our Atmosphere Dynamic?

It may surprise readers to learn that the American Geophysical Union has divisions named Atmospheric and Space Electricity, Global Environmental Change, and Atmospheric Sciences. In short, the geosciences world include a very large element of atmospheric science.  The following query has several different elements, all of which suggest an awareness of how dynamic our atmosphere really is.

Q: Hello. I wasn't sure which category to inquire within but this seemed appropriate. Since Earth is not a perfectly spherical object, nor any other planetary bodies we know of, how does that affect the gaseous layers of atmosphere surrounding us? My question stems from an uneducated assumption that our atmosphere is not a perfect bubble around us but must be dynamic given the amount of energy factors associated with it, the terrain beneath it and which locations have the greatest gravitational pull. Can the sphere of air around us ever dissipate into space? Are there higher or lower points that exist because of geography that make our categories of layers more ambiguous?
-Joe A

A: As you suggest, the atmosphere is indeed a very dynamic thing, and yes all rotating solar system bodies are oblate spheroids because of centrifugal force at the equators (and none at the poles). Jupiter rotates at a phenomenal rate (it has 9.8 hour days!) and is thus is the most oblate planet of all.

If you think about oceans, however (the ocean surface is at the same elevation above the spheroid datum over the Marianas Trench as it is in Pamlico Sound), then mountain ranges will similarly have little to do with atmospheric height over the globe (there IS a small amount of isostacy). The most common exception to this are called storm surges - the low-pressure cores of hurricanes and typhoons will literally lift up the (warmed and expanded) ocean water. With Hurricane Katrina, the storm surge reached an astonishing 8.5 meters (27.8 feet!) at Pass Christian, Mississippi. That's above the normal tides!

There is atmospheric thinning with altitude, however, and the upper reaches can still be detected at 100+ kilometers, which is why satellites must fly at 250+ kilometers. Even at those altitudes there is measurable drag that over time will bring down low-flying satellites and launch vehicle debris. Most of the upper atmospheric variation has to do with solar wind and solar heating activity, however. Because of Earth’s gravity, most of our original atmosphere remains - unlike Mars, where the original atmosphere and water were stripped over time by solar winds. When you see clouds over mountain tops (pretty common over our volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest), it is because winds trying to get around the mountain send some of their components up and OVER the mountain. This leads to a drop in temperature with increasing altitude, which contributes to dissolved moisture precipitating out into what we call orographic clouds - cloud caps. As the air moves past and back down to lower elevations the water re-dissolves back into the atmosphere and the clouds disappear... but the same AMOUNT of water remains.

Q: I had to do a little research to understand a few of the terms you used but I definitely feel like I came away with a better understanding. Thank you for your insightful response. I shouldnt be surprised I guess that avenues of inquiry like this are out there given the ubiquity of websites, but I never tried something like this before. I had a thought, did some googling and found you. It's awesome to get answers from professionals as if I was back in school and could pick the brains of my professors after hours. So thanks again, despite my questions being kind of convoluted!
- Joe

A: I'm glad I could help. I suppose I am technically a professional, in that I get paid to do research in geophysics, but I'm just a very ordinary person with the same level of curiosity that you have. I personally don't divide the world into professional vs. non-professional, but instead into interested vs. non-interested. I plumber who asked some really deep questions about the lithosphere and upper mantle told me he spends a lot of "windshield time" thinking about the physical world as he drives from job to job.

THAT meets my definition of a scientist. You and I fit in there also. That goes for anyone reading this chapter, too.

The verdict is in on Hillary -- THE JURY is basically in on Hillary. Pretty much all normal, serious people now think she's a little creepy (even many of those had once loved the concept of Hillary). Only the people who, given the opportunity, would have followed Jim Jones to Jamestown and drunk the Kool-Aid love her. More accurately, they hate her detractors (and almost as much as she does, which is really saying something).

Peggy Noonan's "The Case Against Hillary Clinton," " is for any normal serious person -- especially a Democrat person -- who is still not quite sure what to make of Hillary.

For some, it has been almost too much to absorb: the cattle trades, Hillary Care, the travel office firings, the missing billing records, her denunciation of a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy out to get her husband, and so on (and on and on and on). Noonan's book serves to remind those who find the details overwhelming that it is actually not normal for the president and first lady to be bad, sometimes criminal, people. Not even for Democrats.

Indeed, if Noonan were not famous for being one of Reagan's speechwriters, you would assume she were an unwavering, card-carrying Democrat to this day. She writes warmly, admiringly of Eleanor Roosevelt, President Kennedy, even President Carter. She describes how she had high hopes for the Clintons at the beginning of the administration -- just when the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy was getting itself organized. She writes sadly of the "missed opportunities" sacrificed to the Clintons' alter of self-absorption.

Noonan compares Hillary to Princess Diana, and in describing the "strange paradox" that must infect such narcissistic personalities, she also captures the Kool-Aid drinkers pretty accurately: "You want to be in the picture because it is real and will impress people, but the people you are impressing are by definition people who are impressed by a picture. They are not -- how to put it? -- insightful, bright, sophisticated. Which means you're spending all your time trying to impress people you think, in your heart, are dumb."

As if speaking to a childhood friend from an ethnic, working-class background, Noonan makes the case that the "problem is not that she's a particular kind of candidate, but that she is a particular kind of person."

Noonan continues: "She never had to do the things you did, she never had to do it all uphill, and she is no feminist hero. The Eleanor thing you keep hearing -- Eleanor was a '90s woman in the '30s; Hillary is a '30s woman in the '90s. ... She grew up knowing something her parents had never known and you had never known: a completely secure life. But it didn't make her grateful -- it made her presume."

Describing her reaction when she saw the photo of Hollywood big feet Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Markie Post in the White House jumping up and down on Lincoln's bed, Noonan writes: "I thought, when I saw it: Something's wrong with these people. They lack a sense of awe, not the awe that leaves you crippled with a false sense of your smallness, but the awe that makes you bigger, that makes you reach higher, as if in tribute to some unseen greatness around you."

Because "The Case Against Hillary Clinton" is written essentially as a plea to Democrats, and is so thoroughly steeped in tributes to Democrats, reading the book creates a sunny, happy feeling that there actually are some Democrats who do not put Clintonism over patriotism. There are still some Democrats who love their country.

Consequently, the reaction of some Democrats to Noonan's book does leave one reeling.

As a small, almost irrelevant example, on CNN's "Inside Politics," Bernard Shaw began an interview with Noonan by asking her, "What do you fear most about Mrs. Clinton?" It may have been a coincidence; Shaw has always struck me as an eminently fair and nonpartisan interviewer. Still: Why is it that conservative positions are always characterized as phobias? Why, for example, had Hillary herself -- the woman who raved about an apocryphal Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy that had invented the Monica Lewinsky story -- never been asked what it was exactly she "feared" about Republicans? Why is it never asked of the Clintons what they fear about "right-wing" Republicans?

Shaw continued by asking Noonan if it would "be a crime" if Hillary eventually became president. Why is it never asked, Would it be a crime if taxes were cut? Why were Senate Democrats not asked, Would it be a crime if Clinton were removed and Gore elevated to the presidency?

Think of that! If Democrats in the Senate had merely abided by their constitutional duty, Gore would be running as the incumbent president right now. But those questions never were asked. Maybe there are no serious adult Democrats left. Maybe they did all drink the Clinton Kool-Aid.

Voice Input – Some Observations

A VC - August 6, 2018 - 3:47am

I have an excellent voice assistant on my Android phone. I never use it.

I could be dictating this blog post using the same voice assistant. I don’t do that except when I want to prove that I can.

We have had Alexa and Google Home in our home. We shut them off and sent them away.

But we use the Siri voice assistant on our AppleTV all the time.

Well for one, searching for video content does not have to be exact. Just close enough. So when you say “Allen Iverson crossover Michael Jordan” into your AppleTV remote, even if Siri doesn’t translate that perfectly, YouTube understands it and delivers up one of my favorite basketball moments reliably.

Second, the keypad entry on AppleTV is horrible. I spent some time yesterday setting up apps, entering passwords, etc and it is about the most frustrating experience I’ve had on a computer in a long time.

Siri on the AppleTV is so much better than the alternative and reliably good enough that it has become the way we interact with our AppleTV.

Another example is my car. I have a Jeep and it has this awful smart car UI called UConnect in it. It’s the worst. Except I can say “call Joanne Wilson” while I am driving and it does that pretty reliably. I have called a person we know named Jan Wilson a few times by accident, but that is way better than another kind of a accident in my Jeep.

So while voice imput has not taken hold in our life where text input works reliably and conveniently, it has taken hold where text input is not reliable, convenient, or safe.

What this tells me is the path forward for voice input technology, which has gotten very good, is in applications that are not mainstream yet but can get mainstream by solving the data input problem.

And, in fact, that is what is already happening.

What Was, What Is, and What Will Be

A VC - August 5, 2018 - 3:36am

A friend shared this book and blog with me called Vanishing New York. Both chronicle the loss of the culture and institutions that made NYC a magical place to live in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Certainly rising rents, rising wealth, a rising proportion of apartments owned by people who don’t live here, and all in all, a major bout of affluenza is afflicting Manhattan and possibly greater NYC right now.

But I personally struggle with sentimentality and wistfulness. Yes, the NYC that I fell in love the in the early 80s is no more, replaced by something that is much harder to sing the praises of.

But what interests me more is not what was or even what is, but what will be?

Where is NYC heading?

How will it manage it’s transportation crisis?

How will it cope with rising sea levels?

How will it deal with entire blocks of empty store fronts, brought on by the rise of ecommerce and landlords who won’t accept that their space is no longer worth what it once was?

I loved this Atlantic piece that suggested NYC should reimagine it’s massive array of subway tunnels as the underground highways for autonomous vehicles. I have no idea if that is a good idea or even feasible. But I love the ingenuity and thinking the author displays.

The Gotham Gal and I are making an apartment building in Brooklyn that is heated and cooled by solar power and has enough left over that we can sell it to the deregulating energy markets in New York State. We hope to make a few more of these buildings and maybe we will inspire other developers to do the same.

I am drawn to the vitality of life in the outer boroughs where the melting pot vibe still pulses through the neighborhoods. Of course, gentrification can and will mess them up the same way it has messed up Manhattan if we aren’t careful. But we still have time to implement policies that can mitigate the negative aspects of gentrification.

My point is this.

We can, and probably should, bear witness to what has become of NYC and what we have lost in the process.

But we must also be working on, investing in, and imaging what NYC (and life in general) can and will become.

Change is the only constant. Fighting it is a losing proposition. Shaping it is the winning one.

Feature Friday: The AppleTV TV App

A VC - August 3, 2018 - 3:53am

In late 2016/early 2017, Apple introduced a new app to the AppleTV called TV. We’ve had it on our various AppleTV devices but have not been big users of it until this summer.

With our recent move to ditch traditional cable/satellite and go “over the top”, we have started using the AppleTV a lot more and the TV app has become our primary way into TV content.

When you launch it, the app shows you what is playing now and what you have been watching recently:

There is a sports tab that is great when a lot of sports is on but not so great at 6:45am:

You connect your various apps to the TV app in settings and then the TV app aggregates the content from all of them:

What I don’t understand is is why some apps are supported and others are not. The awesome YouTubeTV app and Netflix, for example, are not supported by the TV app.

I guess this feature is invite only right now or something like that.

If the TV app was connected to every app that we have on our AppleTV, it would be the Google of TV and that’s a pretty powerful place for Apple to be. I have to believe that it is in their interest to go there.

A VC - August 2, 2018 - 2:57am

Sonos priced it’s initial public offering last night at $15/share and will start trading today under the ticker SONO.

I am very fond of this company and the products it makes. The Gotham Gal and I are surely one of the company’s best customers.

I am not an investor in Sonos, nor is USV, and this post is not a recommendation to purchase the stock. It is a love letter to the company.

The love affair started twelve years ago, in March of 2006.

The marketing folks at Sonos reached out to me and suggested that they sponsor the music picks I used to run on the sidebar on the AVC blog.

I said yes and Sonos ads started appearing on the AVC blog that month.

I also received a test unit and reviewed the Sonos product here on AVC later that month.

A year later, I visited Sonos at their headquarters in Santa Barbara California.

Over the years, we have purchased so many Sonos devices that I have lost count. We use them everywhere.

I have also written about Sonos dozens of times here at AVC.

There have been many attempts to build a home music device that is better than Sonos.

They have all failed.

It is possible that Apple will get it right with the HomePod.

But they haven’t done that yet.

And even if they do, we will likely stay with Sonos as it works so well for us and we have them everywhere.

And now Sonos is a public company. Well played Sonos.

Developer In Residence

A VC - August 1, 2018 - 3:35am

For the past six months, Jed has been helping USV build some much-needed tools to connect people at our 60+ portfolio companies to each other.

It has worked out well, so well that we decided to ask Jed to join us full time in a new role that we call Developer In Residence.

Why would a VC firm need a full-time software developer?

Well, we have always had people at USV who can code, but it was always a side thing, never our full-time job.

And there are things that we are doing at USV that require a full-time commitment to the code.

Jed explained all of this and the fact that he moonlights as a bass singer in a barbershop quartet, on the USV blog yesterday.

At USV, we are committed to helping our portfolio companies without asking them to do a lot of the work to enable that.

Ultimately that requires intelligence that is automated and that means writing and maintaining code.

And so I’m thrilled that we now have a full-time person at USV who is doing that for us and our portfolio.

Where Did You Go To School?

A VC - July 31, 2018 - 2:57am

I read this post yesterday that says that 40% of VC investors went to either Stanford or Harvard.

Frankly, I am not surprised.

I’ve worked in this industry for over thirty years. It is full of Stanford and Harvard grads.

I’ve got nothing against either school. They are wonderful education institutions and full of great people.

We have Stanford and Harvard alums at USV so we are certainly a contributor to this statistic. But we don’t have 40% of our team from those two schools.

We don’t ask where you went to school on our analyst application. We ask you to answer four questions and we go from there.

I learned the VC business from a man who went to Case Western Reserve University, my co-founder of Flatiron Partners went to Queens College, and my co-founder of USV went to Wesleyan University.

We have hired analysts at USV that did not graduate from college and maybe didn’t even go, I really don’t know and don’t care.

What I have learned from all of these individuals is that curious and brilliant people come from all places, all genders, and all ethnic and racial backgrounds.

The VC business is making some progress on gender diversity. This chart is from the same post that I linked to at the start of this post.

Eighteen percent is not a number to be proud of, but 60% growth in two years is. If we continue at that rate of gender diversity growth, the VC business could be gender neutral by the middle of next decade. It would not surprise me if that happens. I feel the desire for gender diversity pulsing through our industry so powerfully right now.

But in most other ways, the VC business is still a very homogenous place. Mostly white and, it turns out, mostly educated at a handful of higher education institutions.

We can do better. We must do better. And, I hope, we will do better. Looking in the mirror and not liking what you are seeing is the first step to rehabilitation.

Kin Developer Program

A VC - July 30, 2018 - 3:47am

Kin, the cryptocurrency launched by Kik (a USV portfolio company), recently launched a developer challenge. The challenge: build a breakout cryptocurrency-based consumer experience.

Kin is a cryptocurrency focused on driving mainstream consumer transactions. Kin envisions a world where cryptocurrencies are used by people every day.

Consumers have no problem buying coffee with dollars every day. Dollars work great for that transaction.

Kin is focused on driving daily consumer utility in the digital world. Digital value for digital goods.

So, Kin launched a program designed to incentivize developers to build consumer apps with the Kin SDK.  The incentives are described here.

Developers are invited to submit ideas by August 10th. If you’re selected, and you publish an app, and you drive a significant number of active Kin wallets, you will receive the incentives.

This is a greenfield opportunity for developers. There are all sorts of consumer use cases to be discovered. So build a fun app and get rewarded for doing it.

Drinking From The Crypto Firehose

A VC - July 29, 2018 - 4:25am

It is my view and our view at USV that the crypto market is in what Carlota Perez calls the installation phase.

We believe that we are still putting the pieces in place for a new technology architecture to take hold.

The “big bang” for this technology cycle was the publishing of Satoshi’s whitepaper, almost ten years ago.

But we still don’t have consensus mechanisms that can scale to transaction speeds that are typical of mainstream web apps, we don’t yet have consensus mechanisms that are both energy efficient and battle-tested at scale, we don’t have an array of development tools that make building applications on this stack easy, quick, safe, and secure, we don’t have hundreds of millions of users with crypto browsers & wallets, and we don’t have all the other things that would need to be in place in order to move into the deployment phase.

But we do have the one thing that is the hallmark of a classic installation phase. We have a frenzy of innovation and financial capital that has been unleashed by the ICO boom, itself a creation of the crypto tech cycle.

Over $20bn has been raised by crypto projects via ICOs in the last 18 months.

And that is not counting the amount of capital that has gone into crypto companies via traditional means (venture capital, angel capital, etc).

This frenzy of entrepreneurship and investment has unleashed thousands of crypto projects all around the world.

And many of these teams, projects, companies are shipping things now.

Which is leading to an incredible amount of innovation coming to market in a very short period of time.

Like any early market, most of these projects and companies will fail. Some will fail to ship. Some will ship things that don’t work. Some will ship things that work but aren’t adopted. And some will ship things that are adopted but are surpassed by something better. The failure rate of these thousands of projects will be very high.

But inside this cohort of companies and projects will be the next Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Uber, and Airbnb.

And so the job of a crypto investor is to sort through all of them and decide which ones have the best chance of emerging as a winner.

We have been doing that for seven years now, since we first started poking around this sector in 2011.

And it has never been harder.

It is like drinking from a firehose right now.

There are so many high-quality projects, high-quality teams, and blue-chip financings happening in the crypto market right now.

It makes my head spin just trying to stay on top of it all.

And we have a great team of investors at USV working on this, and we have a network of crypto funds we have invested in that we collaborate with, and we have a bunch of like-minded VC firms that we work with in this sector.

That produces a lot of information flow and helps us better understand what is going on.

And what is going on is a frenzy of innovation that will lead to many important things.

But keeping up with it all is exhausting.

Video Of The Week: Ten Ways To Be Your Own Boss

A VC - July 28, 2018 - 5:00am

I spoke to a group of women entrepreneurs a few weeks ago, and one asked me “why do you need to raise VC?”

And the answer is “you don’t.”

The vast majority of entrepreneurs out there don’t raise VC. Many don’t raise any money to start their businesses.

As I was answering that question, I thought about a talk I gave at the 99U Conference back in 2012 called “Ten Ways To Be Your Own Boss.”

I’m sure I have posted this here before, probably back in 2012, but I thought I’d post it again.

It makes the point that you don’t need VC to be an entrepreneur pretty nicely.

Funding Friday: A Flying Saucer Tortillero

A VC - July 27, 2018 - 4:19am

I am a big fan of small creative projects on Kickstarter. And I also love supporting creators from other parts of the world.

As an example, I backed this project out of Mexico today. The designer is creating a tortillero, a tortilla warmer, that looks like a flying saucer.

And, naturally, I also love warm tortillas.

I Don’t Know

A VC - July 26, 2018 - 4:21am

An entrepreneur asked me a great question last week:

When is it OK to say I don’t know in a pitch meeting?

I told her the following things:

1/ This varies from investor to investor. Some investors are looking for founders to have all the answers.

2/ I am not one of those investors but I do want the founders to have some of the answers.

3/ If I asked her how large and valuable her publicly traded competitor is, and she said “I don’t know but I will find out and get back to you on that”, I would be fine with that answer.

4/ If I asked her what the tech stack is that her engineering team is using to build the product, I would be dissapointed if she didn’t know that answer.

In general, I believe it is critical that the founder be knowledgeable about all the details and aspects of the internal operations. They should have those answers on the tip of their tongue. That includes things like monthly burn, cash balance, headcount, etc.

And if you don’t know the answer to the question, you should be honest about it and say that you will get it and get back to the investor. And do that quickly.

Sometimes investors ask ridiculous questions and then you have to bite your tongue and be polite.

I will end with a great story. It was 1991 and we had seed funded a brilliant software engineer who was building a product for the wall street sector. I took him to see a very prestigious VC as we were looking to fill out the seed round. The company was maybe six months old and was not yet in market with the product.

The entrepreneur started in on the market, the opportunity, and the product. Maybe three or four minutes in, the VC interrupts the founder and asks, “what will your revenues and profits be next year and the year after?”

The founder was pissed. He had not even gotten to the product they were building and he was annoyed by the interruption and the question.

So he answers in his broken English “I don’t have a fucking clue.”

Our meeting ended several minutes later and we were shown the door.

We did not secure an investment from that VC but the company was successful and went public five or six years later.

So you obviously don’t need to have all of the answers in a pitch meeting to be successful. But you do need to be polite and respectful if you want to secure the funding. And there are some things you absolutely need to know the answers to.

Who is interfering with whom?

Beyond Money - July 25, 2018 - 11:54am

Virginia State Senator Richard Black addressed the June 30, 2018 Schiller Institute conference via video. In his presentation titled, The True Interest of the United States, Senator Black, a combat veteran, argued that “U.S. foreign policy in Iraq, Libya, Syria and elsewhere in South-West Asia, …has spawned huge armies of terrorists,” and in no way benefits the interests of the American people.

And a vintage article by William Blum, recently republished by Global Research, highlights the hypocrisy of U.S. government officials and the media in blasting Russia for their alleged interference in the U.S. political process, while the U.S. government has a long and sordid history of extreme interference in other countries. I count 55 instances in William Blum’s list of “the United States overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War.” See it here:  Overthrowing Other People’s Governments: The Master List of U.S. “Regime Changes.” –t.h.g.

Investment Pace

A VC - July 25, 2018 - 4:15am

We were hanging out with friends last night and one of them asked me how many investments I have made this year. I replied “one so far.” He said, “you are not very active.” and I replied “I do one to two deals a year and always have.” Which surprised him.

I have been investing in early stage companies since the late 80s and over those thirty plus years, I have personally led investments in about sixty companies. An average of less than two investments per year.

Our firm usually makes eight to ten new investments per year, which is one to two new investments per partner per year.

When you are making early-stage investments, which require a lot of your personal involvement over a seven to ten year period, you can only take on so many projects.

If you assume the average hold period for an early stage investment is seven years and if you make one to two investments per year, you will have between seven and fourteen portfolio companies to manage at any one time.

The low end of that range is quite manageable. The high end of that range is not. I have been there.

I believe that early stage venture capital done right is a service business in which the entrepreneur and the company they started is our customer.

We need to be able to service that portfolio company properly and that requires bandwidth at the partner level plus a team around the partners that can provide additional support.

And so that means managing the investment pace tightly and saying no to most opportunities that come in and being really committed and convinced about the projects that we say yes to.

And so that is what we do at USV and what I have done my entire career.

Doing this well is hard. Because if you only make eight to ten new investments per year and expect to produce at least one billion plus exit each year, something we have been able to do every year for almost ten years now, you have to have a pretty high hit rate on super early stage investments.

Our approach to making this work is an evolving thesis that tells us what to invest in and what not to invest in, rigor and collaboration in our decision making, and real substantial value-add post-investment.

This is not spray and pray, this is not following the herd, this is not momentum investing.

This is thesis-driven, active early stage investing, which has always produced the best returns over time and I believe always will.

Tech:NYC Turns Two

A VC - July 24, 2018 - 2:44am

It seems like yesterday when a bunch of folks in the NYC tech sector decided that it was time to form an organization to represent the tech sector in NYC.

But in fact, it was a little more than two years ago.

There was some upfront work we had to do and in the summer of 2016, we announced Tech:NYC.

Two years later the organization is 630 member companies strong, including over 500 small early-stage companies.

Yesterday, Tech:NYC issued their second annual report, which is just one long web page.

I really like this way of doing annual reports. It’s easy to consume and accessible to anyone with a computer or mobile phone.

If you are involved with or care about the tech sector in NYC, take a minute to read the annual report (it won’t take much more) and see about all the great things that are going on in NYC’s fastest growing economic sector.

And if you aren’t a member yet, you can join our email list at the end of the report and start hearing from us, which hopefully will lead you to join.

Best Anonymous VPN Will Help You Hide Online

nuance intelligence - November 23, 2015 - 12:53pm

You have probably gotten used to the general visibility and exposure of the internet world. You communicate freely with your friends on social media, research on current events and important items that you come across. People you don’t know may even have approached you with a post or inquiry. Certainly, being in the “public eye” has its advantages.

The Need for Invisibility

best secret vpn

Sometimes, there are certain aspects of your life, or your work that needs some sort of invisibility cloak. Take for instance, launching a personal blog or website. While preparations are ongoing, you focus on ensuring that your products and services remain hidden for public view – after all, this is part of your marketing program to come out with a bang. Online viewers are more likely to appreciate something that just popped out of nowhere, than view bits and pieces before the full unveiling.

You can be a game developer, and pooling general and technical data needs to be something that must be kept under wraps, until the appointed time wherein you can show the whole internet world about what you have created. You can be a business owner or an employee, and needs a secure connection in order to access company data over the public internet.

Going incognito in the public eye

This is where virtual network services come in. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is your own unique pathway in order to achieve invisibility and secure your details while working online. It is an application or service that helps provide you with a cloak to put on your activities while using the internet. VPN provides a user with a unique IP address that can help dissuade traces, and ensures that you remain invisible to the other internet users when dealing with important or sensitive data.

The effects of ichthyophthiriasis on some haematological parameters in common carp

Abstract: The present study examined the haematological effects of ichthyophthiriasis in common carp. Blood was collected from 4 groups of juvenile carp: 1. healthy; 2. with minor symptoms of ichthyophthiriasis; 3. with severe symptoms of ichthyophthiriasis (moribund); survivors of ichthyophthiriasis after a 3-week recovery period. Blood was subjected to a standard haematological procedure and the following parameters were evaluated: haematocrit (Ht), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), erythrocyte (RBC) and leukocyte (WBC) counts, mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH), and mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The differential leukocyte count and thrombocyte count were calculated using stained blood smears. No change in Ht or Hb, but a significant decrease in RBC compensated by an increase in MCV and MCH were observed. Fish with minor symptoms of disease had a significant increase in WBC (167.4 × 10^3/\muL) without an alteration in the differential count, as compared to the controls (93.3 × 10^3/\muL), while those with severe symptoms had a significant decrease in WBC (48.4 × 10^3/\muL) accompanied by lymphopenia, and an increase in neutrophil and monocyte contribution. After 3 weeks of recovery WBC returned to a level similar to that in the controls (89.5 × 10^3/\muL). In all the parasite-infested fish metabolic activity of phagocytes was significantly reduced, as compared to the controls. In the fish with severe symptoms of disease thrombocytosis and hypercoagulability were observed.
