Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs in Prince Edward Island
What are Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs?
Entrepreneurship graduate programs help prepare students with the skills and knowledge to start a new business. Programs take a comprehensive approach that combines theoretical business know-how with practical application. Courses try to cover what a company needs to effectively function. Topics could include accounting, team management, decision-making, development, and more. Students may then have the opportunity to step into real-world business situations and apply their skills alongside working professionals.
Futhermore, entrepreneurship graduate programs may be available at the masters, doctorate or graduate certificate level and in a variety of formats, allowing students with many backgrounds to prepare to confidently begin their next business.
Entrepreneurship Masters Programs
Masters in entrepreneurship programs tend to act like an incubator to help springboard students into their first business venture. Courses in these programs are designed to strengthen your fundamental knowledge about what makes a business tick. Then, you could move to apply that knowledge to designing and launching both mock and actual business plans.
Usually, the master program is offered either as a master of entrepreneurship (ME) or a master of science. But, many other programs may offer it as part of a master of business administration (MBA) program. In these cases, entrepreneurship is offered either as a concentration or specialization.
It's important to note that an MBA program may require students to submit a professional resume as part of their application. Your resume should highlight any previous entrepreneurial or business endeavors. If you have no previous experience in these areas, you could outline that as part of your letter of intent. Your letter could then also go on to highlight what knowledge you hope to gain in those industries.
An MBA in entrepreneurship typically requires students to complete 30 to 48 credit hours' worth of classes. Students could potentially earn a masters in entrepreneurship in 1.5 years depending upon enrollment. Program length may vary by program.
Potential Masters in Entrepreneurship Curriculum
The masters in entrepreneurship curriculum covers a variety of methods to address the different needs of a business. This could include completing tasks like applying for permits, managing staff, marketing, and more. Below are a few sample courses.
- Managerial Accounting
- Economics
- Finance
- Strategic Management
- Decision-making
- Marketing
- Planning & Leadership
These are only a few classes you could take during your entrepreneurship masters program. Students who are pursuing this as an MBA concentration might also be required to complete general business courses. Contact potential schools or programs for a complete course guide.
Experiential Learning
Many masters programs may also provide experiential learning opportunities. During these, student could have the chance to enter real-world business situations. The goal of these experiences is to give students a glimpse of how their studies could be applied in their chosen industry. That way, they may better make connections between their textbook theory and practical business applications.
Experiential learning opportunities could include some of the following options.
- Internships
- Coaching & Mentoring Sessions
- Apprenticeships
Available experiential learning opportunities may vary from school to school. Speak with department faculty for more information.
What are Entrepreneurship Graduate Certificate Programs?
Pursuing a graduate certificate in entrepreneurship could be a great way to expand upon the principles you studied in a bachelors program. The curriculum in these programs are similar to those offered in masters programs but courses tend to be more concise and focus on high-level concepts.
Graduate certificates in entrepreneurship could give students the chance to study the basics to get their future business on its feet. And, later on, they could potentially apply that same knowledge towards earning a masters degree program.
Schools who offer these programs typically require students to have previously earned a bachelors degree. That degree does not necessarily need to be in a related field. However, students with no business background may be asked to submit proof of 2 years, full-time work experience.
Certificate programs in entrepreneurship usually consist of 9 to 15 credit hours and are typically offered in a part-time format. This time-frame could allow current working students to work towards both their educational and professional goals simultaneously. Students could potentially earn a graduate certificate in 1 to 2 years. Program length varies by school and enrollment status. Be sure to speak with an adviser prior to enrolling for more information.
What are Entrepreneurship Doctoral Programs?
Instead of focusing on running a business, entrepreneurship doctoral programs highlight researching and designed new techniques to enhance a corporation's workflow. Courses in these programs tend to deal with research methods, statistics, and theoretical business principles. Combining this with your previous business studies, you could then go on to conduct your own research in the field.
Graduate Schools with Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs in Prince Edward Island
Program | Institution | Degree Awarded |
D.B.A. Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship (Qualitative Research) | Grand Canyon University | N/A |
Many doctoral programs require students to have already earned a graduate degree in entrepreneurship or a related business field. Students may be asked to submit a 3.4 graduate GPA in addition to GRE exam scores.
Undergraduate students with a 3.2 or higher GPA may also be permitted to apply. In these cases, supplemental materials may be required to demonstrate business knowledge. Please note that students who have not earned a previous business degree may wish to pursue one at the masters level before attempting a doctoral program.
It is also common for programs to request students' professional resumes. This document could highlight your own business endeavors. Or, demonstrate how you have applied your previous business education. In it, you should outline your work history as well as any professional certification you may have.
The doctoral curriculum is usually constructed of 45 to 62 credit hours' worth of classes. Due to this and the dissertation requirement, students could potentially earn a PhD in entrepreneurship in 2 to 4 years.
Dissertation Entrepreneurship Research
Like typical dissertation projects, doctoral entrepreneurship programs require students to conduct and present research they've collected in their field. Depending on the outcomes, this research could help guide future business leaders in their daily operations.
Dissertation topics could focus on a few of the following topics.
- Management Styles
- Decision Making Processes
- Work Environments
- Large-Scale Business Operations
- International Business
Once you have collected your data, you may then be required to present your dissertation to selected faculty. Typically, students choose professors for their dissertation committee that have some experience on the topic they're studying. For this reason, you may want to research the faculty and their areas of interest when selecting an entrepreneurship doctoral program.
Dissertation requirements may vary between schools and programs. Check with your educational adviser or an admissions counselor for more information.
Accredited Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs
When browsing entrepreneurship graduate programs, you may find agencies either specifically accredit entrepreneurship programs or general business ones.
For instance, the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial & Engaged Universities (ACEEU) specifically accredits entrepreneurship programs. They've designed a set of standards the schools must comply with to become recognized. This usually includes keeping their courses up-to-date with recent business tactics or technology.
Or, students may find programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) or the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCSB). You may see these agencies more commonly endorsing MBA programs with an entrepreneurship specialization or concentration.
Schools may also be accredited by specific agencies overseeing their region. Accreditation may speak to the quality of the program, financial stabilty and more. For more information, visit potential schools' accreditation status page.
Entrepreneur Graduate Program Formats
Entrepreneurship graduate programs are offered in a variety of ways to better cater to the unique needs of its students. Below are descriptions of some potential program formats and how they could fit into your schedule.
Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs On Campus
On campus entrepreneurship graduate programs are a traditional program offering. Students report to or live on campus while they take their classes.
This format is unique in that it could help you develop a network of business contacts through regular face to face interactions. During your classes, you could connect and discuss coursework with your peers. Building a report with your classmates could be the first step to creating a business partnership. During this time, you could create new business plans and expand them as you progress through your curriculum. You might also participate in campus events and other networking activities.
In addition to your peers, you could also build a relationship with your professors. Faculty members may be fellow entrepreneurs who have made the jump into teaching. They could provide insight into the success in their own business dealings. On the other hand, they could also explain what went wrong along the way. Their firsthand knowledge could help you avoid some challenges as you launch your own services.
Online Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs
Despite being in the digital classroom, online entrepreneurship graduate programs tend to teach the same material as their campus-based counterparts. Many schools strive to keep these two programs as identical as possible. This could include streaming live lectures, providing class discussion forums, or even internet chat software. In addition, schools may also grant students access to their campus facilities like libraries or technology resources.
Where this program differs is convenience. Since courses are online, classes may be available wherever there is internet access. Students could sign into their classes and complete assignments as their schedule allows. This could be a great asset for students currently working. Or, this could be a perfect option for current business professionals looking to potentially enhance their career by earning an advanced degree.
Hybrid Entrepreneurship Graduate Programs
Hybrid entrepreneurship graduate programs combine bits and pieces of the above-mentioned formats. Hybrid programs are often offered in one of two ways.
More commonly, hybrid programs are born out of campus-based ones. Students live or commute to campus for many classes. But, these programs may also offer supplemental courses you could take online. This could reduce the amount of days you're commuting. Or, it might be a better way to structure your own personal schedule.
The other hybrid program more closely resembles the online format. Students take their core curriculum online. However some of their classes may be only offered on campus. Typically, these campus based classes occur during the summer or winter semester. Because these times are usually during school breaks, the courses may be condensed to fit into the shorter time frame. This may mean you might not have to majorly adjust your schedule to attend. In return, you could have the chance to start networking with peers you had previously only emailed and enjoy the campus experience.
What Could You Do with a Degree in Entrepreneurship?
While many degree feed directly into a particular career, entrepreneurship graduate programs are more open-ended. Many students may choose to become self-employed after earning their degree. In these cases, students may either begin their own business or assist one in a freelance capacity. According to BLS, in 2016, there were between 8,500,000 to 8,800,000 self-employed individuals in the United States.
These business ventures do not technically have a minimum degree level for entry-level roles. But, employers or associates may be interested in working with partners who have earned an advanced degree. Your entrepreneurship graduate program could demonstrate your in-depth knowledge of certain industry principles like finance, planning, and management.
Other students may choose to apply their entrepreneurial knowledge to aid established companies. You could choose to pursue some of the following career options with your entrepreneurship graduate degree. Also provided are their 2022 median salary.

On July 14, the U.N. General Assembly voted unanimously to approve South Sudan as the 193rd member of the United Nations. As the United Nations welcomes the new country of South Sudan, some critics are claiming that South Sudan is destined to become a failed state. This raises the question: what is a failed state, and how can South Sudan avoid becoming one?
The Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States codifies the four basic elements of statehood in article 1. To be considered a state, the territorial unit must have:
- a permanent population;
- government;
- defined territory;
- capacity to enter into relations with other states.
State failure occurs when the country loses control over one or more of these characteristics. For example, The Fund for Peace, the organization that collaborated with Foreign Policy Magazine to create the "Failed State
Index", recognizes that the attributes of state failure include:
- demographic pressures and large influxes of refugees and IDPs;
- the inability to provide reasonable public services;
- physical loss of control over territory or the monopoly on the legitimate use of force; and
- the inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.
As South Sudan establishes itself as a new nation, it faces both internal and external obstacles in each of these areas that could precipitate state failure. In the next few paragraphs I will analyze how each of these forces could lead to state failure in South Sudan, and what general steps South Sudan will need to take to prevent this.
Alleviating the problems facing its large and vulnerable population is one of the biggest challenges that South Sudan faces. While the exact population of South Sudan remains unknown, it is estimated to be in excess of eight million people. The long history of violence in the region has created enormous instability in the population, and prior to South Sudan's independence it was estimated that over one half million Sudanese had sought protection as refugees in neighboring African states. A further one and a half million Sudanese had been internally displaced. These population pressures are symptomatic of the violence and poverty of the region. South Sudan is one of the least developed countries in the world, with the worst maternal mortality rate; the highest percentage of children below 13 not attending school; and one of the highest percentages of female illiteracy.
South Sudan's government will have to work hard to provide public services to this stressed population. The country is larger than Spain and Portugal combined but has less than 100 miles of paved roads. While the region has oil reserves, these reserves are at best a mixed blessing. The government depends on oil for 95% of its revenue, making it extremely susceptible to fluctuations in the value of oil. To avoid becoming a failed state, South Sudan must create infrastructure to support its population. This must include diversifying its economy so the country's future is not handcuffed to oil. Because state failure is so often characterized by weak government and poor populations, South Sudan's top priorities will include the establishment of security, basic services, and meaningful work opportunities outside of the oil sector.
State failure is also often accompanied by physical loss of control over territory or the monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Thus, South Sudan must also resolve its territorial disputes with the north and work to control internal violence. The Abyei region, in particular, is one of the most problematic areas for South Sudan. Both Sudan and South Sudan have claims to Abyei, an area that is known to have oil reserves. Despite the fact that both sides accepted an arbitration decision issued from The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in July 2009, the Abyei boundary is still disputed. Earlier this year, reports of violence in the area led the UN Security Council to approve the deployment of 4,200 Ethiopian peacekeepers for six months. Hopefully, these peacekeeping forces can assist South Sudan to secure a long term solution to these territorial disputes. Securing a long term agreement between the north and the south over the resources on the border will be an essential step towards preventing state failure.
A further indicator of state failure is an inability to interact with other states on as a full member of the international community. South Sudan's entry into the United Nations is the first step towards solidifying international recognition. To promote development, South Sudan will need to further develop international ties. For example, South Sudan will probably look to access the resources of International Financial Institutions, secure aid packages, and attract foreign direct investment. The United States, in particular, may play a critical role in facilitating international support. Princeton Lyman, the US's Special Envoy to Sudan, emphasized this point in his recent testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations committee:
[T]he government of South Sudan will also depend on international support as it seeks to address its many challenges . . . . The United States has provided significant support for South Sudan over the years, and we will remain a steadfast partner as South Sudan seeks to peacefully meet these challenges. The strong ties between our peoples go back many decades, and we want to continue to build on that partnership.
Securing South Sudan's independence was a major victory for international diplomacy, but significant challenges remain ahead. Continued support is necessary if South Sudan is to develop into a strong state that can act as a leader in the region.
As this brief analysis shows, the characteristics indicating state failure often have a symbiotic relationship. For example, territorial disputes weaken the government and a weak government cannot provide basic services. Therefore, a broad multilateral approach is needed to foster development and prevent collapse.

Thanks, Georg!
Sunday, July 24th, 2011Georg graced us with a note:
Even one year later… Penancecomic just jumped to my mind… Are you still talking about the comic every week? I loved it and read every single frame and would be too happy if you continued it someday.
I think I'll just add the page to my Google Reader account and wait for good.
I do understand you being a little short of time lately, our third child is nine months now and giving us a time with very little spare time…
Keep on drawing
Thanks for your note, Georg! Yes, Jenn and I do talk about Penance often, and how we're looking forward to being able to work on it again. Right now we've decided to make our small children our priority, and as you've noticed that doesn't leave much time for anything else!
I expect as our daughters grow older we'll have more time to devote to our creative side, but for right now we're focusing on our family.
Thanks for thinking of us!
Craig and Jenn

John Muir
Watching the daybreak and sunrise. The pale rose and purple sky changing softly to daffodil yellow and white, sunbeams pouring through the passes between the peaks and over the Yosemite domes, making their edges burn; the silver firs in the middle ground catching the glow on their spiry tops, and our camp grove fills and thrills with the glorious light. Everything awakening alert and joyful…John Muir,

John Muir,
The Evolution of the Conservation Movement, 1850-1920
On July 19, 1869, naturalist John Muir set pen to paper to capture his experience of awakening in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Published in 1911, My First Summer in the Sierra is based on Muir's original journals and sketches of his 1869 stay in the vicinity of the Yosemite Valley. His journal tracks his three-and-a-half-month visit to the Yosemite region and his ascent of Mt. Hoffman and other Sierra peaks. Along the way, he describes the flora and fauna as well as the geography and geology of the area.
Muir immigrated from Scotland to Wisconsin as a child. He attended the University of Wisconsin and began working as a mechanical inventor. After an 1867 industrial accident nearly blinded him, he abandoned his career as an inventor to work as a naturalist.

An early defender of the environment, Muir in 1876 advocated adoption of a federal forest conservation program. His popular articles and books describing Yosemite's natural wonders inspired public support for the establishment of Yosemite National Park in 1890 and expansion of the park in 1906. At the same time, Muir continued to work and write as a serious scientist whose fieldwork in botany and geology enabled him to make lasting contributions. Alaska's Muir Glacier is named for him. In 1892, Muir co-founded the Sierra Club as an association explicitly dedicated to wilderness preservation and served until 1914 as its first president, shaping it into an organization whose leadership in political advocacy for protection of the natural world continues to this day.
The popularity of President Theodore Roosevelt's groundbreaking conservation program owed much to Muir's writing. In 1903 Roosevelt and Muir visited the Yosemite region together. In 1908, Roosevelt issued a presidential proclamation establishing the Muir Woods National Monument in Marin County, California, in Muir's honor. Muir died six years later. Although sorrow and disappointment at his failure to save Hetch Hetchy Valley from becoming a reservoir for San Francisco may well have contributed to his death, Muir had succeeded more than any other single individual in establishing the preservation of wild nature as a major American cultural and political value. The clarity of his vision and the eloquence of his writing continue to inspire environmentalists throughout the world.

The Seneca Falls Convention
Among the many important questions which have been brought before the public, there is none that more vitally affects the whole human family than that which is technically called Woman's Rights.Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
"Address Delivered at the Seneca Falls Convention,"
July 19-20, 1848.
Votes for Women: Selections from the National American Woman Suffrage Association Collection, 1848-1921
On July 19, 1848, the First Woman's Rights Convention began in Seneca Falls, New York. The idea of holding such a meeting had originated eight years earlier in London, England, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and other women delegates were barred from participating in the 1840 World Antislavery Convention.
The real planning and preparation for the event took place at a couple of meetings that occurred just a few days before the convention. On July 9, 1848, Stanton, Mott, Martha C. Wright, Jane Hunt, and Mary Ann McClintock met over tea and decided to hold a conference to promote women's rights. They placed an unsigned announcement in the Seneca County Courier advertising a Woman's Rights convention to be held on Wednesday, July 19, and Thursday, July 20. On the first day of the convention only women were allowed to attend; the second day, the general public was invited to join the meeting.

On Sunday, July 16, some of the women met again to discuss an agenda. They began to draft a "Declaration of Sentiments." Through the eve of the Convention, Stanton continued to write and revise the "Declaration" which she modeled after the Declaration of Independence:
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course…"Declaration of Sentiments,"

Seneca Falls, New York, July 19, 20, 1848.
Votes for Women: Selections from the National American Woman Suffrage Association Collection, 1848-1921
On the morning of July 19, the meeting convened at the Wesleyan Church. Nearly 300 people responded to the invitation. Stanton read the "Declaration's" preamble, eighteen grievances, and a list of resolutions calling for moral, economic, and political equality. Defying social pressures to remain quietly in the background, Stanton listed the ways women were subjugated by men:
He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men–both natives and foreigners.
Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.
He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.
He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.

Additional grievances listed in the "Declaration" concerned church matters and interpretation of scriptures, issues of deep concern to Stanton. After giving voice to their indignation at the oppression of women, Stanton and Mott proposed a series of resolutions designed to realize the "Declaration's" radical notion that "all men and women are created equal."

The reflecting pool at the Getty Villa has been drained, and the fountains at the Getty Center were turned off this week as part of an effort to conserve water during California's severe drought.
Only pools and fountains where fish and plants live, and the Central Garden, which is a living sculpture by artist Robert Irwin and a part of the Museum's art collection, have been left on, according to Getty officials.
"We thought it was our responsibility and we hope it will encourage other people to do it," Ron Hartwig, vice president of communications for the J. Paul Getty Trust told the press.
Turning off the water features at the Getty Center and the Getty Villa saves nearly 2,500 gallons a day, according to Hartwig. The decision was made after Gov. Jerry Brown urged Californians to reduce their water use by 20 percent.
"It's always a toss up to decide whether or not you should take an action. In this case, the governor asked us and we felt it was our responsibility to do so," Hartwig said.
The Getty has reduced water consumption by 55 percent since the Getty Center opened in 1997. Hartwig said there are still many reasons to visit the Getty even though some water features have been turned off.
"I think visitors understand that we are in a terrific drought situation and people should do what they are supposed to do," Hartwig said.

- R.M. of Carmichael including Carmichael
A prolonged period of extreme heat is expected for parts of southern Saskatchewan. Daytime high temperatures reaching 32 degrees Celsius and above, and overnight lows near 16 degrees Celsius are forecast over the next several days. A slow-moving ridge of high pressure is responsible for bringing the extreme heat into Saskatchewan. The heat warnings will likely be expanded eastward over the coming days. Stay out of the sun during the peak hours of 11 AM - 3 p.m., whenever possible. If you need to be outside, wear appropriate sunscreen, a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and light, loose-fitting cotton clothes. Avoid any extreme physical exertion and keep in the shade whenever possible. Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as you can. If you do not have air conditioning at home, know where to go to cool down.

July '13 Update:
The tubeless conversion has held out great. Lots of miles ridden, both with bikepacking gear and in my local, rocky trails. No issues at all. Since then, I've used the same method to run a Rabbit Hole with my Rohloff hub, and then swap out a set of Schwalbe Smart Sams (29×2.25) for the Knards and fit them to my Ogre frame – using the same 24″ inner tubes I'd already sliced. In hindsight, it's probably best to leave a little more of a 'skirt', so it's easier to reuse the inner tube again.
More semi-nerdish gear talk, I'm afraid. A persistent cold and rattly lungs have delayed my travels plans – I'll be heading off for a few days of Arizonan bikepacking very soon though, hopefully returning with a story or two to tell.
In the meantime, I've been inspired by nearly-neighbour Gypsy by Trade, and his pursuit to fine-tune his tubeless fat tyre conversions. Nick and an ever growing legion of fat bike riders are doing goathead-battle along Albuquerque's river trails. They seem to be winning.
When it comes to prickly things, Santa Fe isn't so different – indeed, the same could be said for the whole of the South West. Devil's eyelashes, as goatheads are more poetically called (not that there's anything romantic about them) mine the bike paths around town. It's not uncommon to discover a dozen of these vengeful thumb tacks clinging tenaciously to your tyres, should you inadvertently stray off trail. To avoid a lifetime of patching inner tubes peppered with puncture wounds, you can inject in a few globs of sealant. If a goathead or thorn worm its way through your tyre, this sealant reacts with the air, plugging the hole. A few strokes of bike pump and you'll be ready to roll again.
Better than this though, for various reasons, is moving over to a tubeless tyre system. To anyone unfamiliar with the concept, it's basically a tyre that doesn't require a separate inner tube to hold its pressure. Instead, the bead of the tyre presses against the lip of the rim to create a seal, secured in place with the addition of some sealant. Again, puncture = air, and air = seal. Clever stuff. There's several brands around to choose from, the most popular being Stan's Notubes. You can even make your own with stuff like liquid latex, water and glitter. Whichever brand you use, you'll need to top up your tyres occasionally, as the sealant dries out over time. A small price to pay for a puncture-free existence.
Most mountain bike tyres and rims nowadays are designed to be run tubeless. Even if they're not, there are various official conversion kits to help you. None exist for wide rimmed fat bikes as yet – such as the Krampus I'm now riding. Thankfully, this homemade conversion is surprisingly straightforward, as the Knard bead and Rabbit Hole rim play particularly nicely together. In fact, although more fiddly than simply throwing in a new tube, I'd say it proved easier than my recent endeavours to convert the Ogre, using one of Stan's expensive tubeless conversion kits.
Compared to running tubes with sealant, the perks of tubeless riding include a slight loss in rotational weight, which is always welcome. But it's the puncture-proofing them aspect that interests me the most. Inner tubes filled with sealant works ok-ish, but they're nothing like as effective as a proper tubeless setup. This is just as well, as heavyweight Knards (1200g or so) have a large, grippy tyre patch, and have a habit of hoovering up goatheads and other prickly flora.
Performance-wise, a tubeless setup promise lower tyres pressures without fear of pinch flatting, translating into better grip and a more comfortable ride. I'd even go as far as saying that tubeless tyres are such an improvement that it's hard to go back to tubes once you've tried them – only the fact that they rule out changing or rotating tyres easily deters me from running them while long distance touring.
Touring tubeless
As I mentioned, the downside to tubeless is that it's a fiddly process to swap tyres, or rotate them, as you might do on a long journey. For shorter tours though, they make a lot of sense.
Tubeless tyres are more prone to sidewall failures than regular ones, so it's worth knowing what to do in an emergency situation if you're going light and not carrying a spare. Here's Minimal Master Gary's advice:
'I carry a heavy needle with some dental floss for thread and a couple of the Park TB2 glueless tyre boots for smaller cuts, which will cover most repairs. For longer, 2-3 " long for gashes, I add I cut a section of sidewall cut out from an old tire, using Shoe Goo (you can get 1oz tubes) to glue the boot in after sewing the cut. Let the glue dry overnight with the tube in place; just a bit of air to hold pressure on it – I've not had a cut so bad that I couldn't wait till night to do this. Usually you can just use a Park boot and maybe sew it up. I carry superglue to hold the cut together – this isn't an issue with tubes as it's easy to get inside and boot it. The Saguaro I was using on our trip had 2 spots with minor cuts. I just covered the cut area with Shoe Goo and let it sit on it's side overnight.'
Gary's update:
'Shortly after I wrote the advice above I came across the tubeless plugs, or ropes. I highly recommend them. They work really well for punctures that are too big for the sealant but not so big you need a boot. I've used them twice, once on my tire and once on a friend's and it worked great both times. It seems to be a permanent repair too. I also now carry a curved needle so I can sew the outside of a sidewall without removing the tire.'
Thanks to
Dave and Mark at Mellow Velo, Santa Fe's sharpest bike shop, for use of tools and compressor. I was able to benefit greatly from Nick and Jeff's R&D at 2WD in Albuquerque – which made this conversion far more straightforward than it might have been otherwise.
Any more tips? Please let me know.

Shooting portraits on-location can give you terrific results. If the light is right things are a snap, but what happens when we have less than ideal conditions? With a bit of knowledge, and the right tools, you can even shoot outside at almost any time of day. A few months ago I was faced with a challenge. I needed to shoot a portrait using soft light the harsh desert light at mid-day. The light was absolutely horrible. Here's how I tackled the issues.
Step One: Control the Ambient Light.
The first thing I do when shooting on-location is to control the ambient light as much as possible. In this scenario I was shooting in an area with no shade at all. I set up a large translucent umbrella to shade my model. This softened the light and also took my exposure on the model down by about one stop. You can see in this photo that my model is in shade but the background is still in the sun.
I used my light meter to find the correct exposure for the background. In my test shot you can see that the background is exposed properly but my model is underexposed. An underexposed model means I would be able to use my flash to shape the light hitting her. This was shot at ISO 100, 1/200 @ f/11.
Step Two: Add a Flash
To give the portrait a more natural look I added a flash. The flash was positioned camera-right so the shadows would match those on the background. I adjusted the power of my flash until it metered at f/11 to match the background exposure.
I used a Profoto Acute B2 with a Disc Reflector. Although the exposure is correct you can clearly see that the light is too hard. There is a distinct shadow under my model's chin. This is exactly the look we were trying to avoid.
Step 3: Shape the Light
To get rid of the hard light under my model's chin I simply added a small softbox to my flash. This softened and diffused the light to give me a more pleasing look
With the softbox added you can see that the hard shadow has been eliminated. But you can also see that there is a bit of light fall-off toward our model's legs.
To get more even light across my model's entire body I used a larger light modifier. I chose a 7 foot octobox to give me nice soft light from head to toe.
With the ocotobox added I was almost finished. The light looks pretty good. It's soft, balanced with the ambient light, and consistent across the model's body. But I wasn't satisfied with the shadows opposite my key light.
Step 4: Add a Reflector
To give my image a bit more punch I added a silver reflector opposite the key light. I had my assistant direct the light toward my model's hair.
Below is the final image with the silver reflector added. The added light from the reflector really helps to separate the model from the background.
If you want to learn even more about mixing strobes with ambient light, sign up for our webinar on this very topic.
The webinar will take place on January 22 at 7PM CET (10AM Los Angeles, 1PM New York, 6PM London, 7PM Paris, +2AM Beijing, +3AM Tokyo, +5AM Sydney).

Haglund's Deformity
Haglund's Deformity (also known as "pump bump" or "retrocalcaneal bursitis") is a painful enlargement of the back of the heel bone that becomes irritated by shoes.
It normally appears as a red, painful, and swollen area in the back of the heel bone. Women tend to develop the condition more than men because of the irritation from rigid heel counters of shoes rubbing up and down on the back of the heel bone.
Changing shoes, soaking feet, and anti-inflammatory medications often mitigate the symptoms of this problem. Consult your physician before taking any medication.

Do You Need To Keep Wearing Your Mask When You're Outdoors?
More people are getting their COVID-19 vaccinations and warmer weather activities have started to take off. Naturally, people are asking: do we still need to keep wearing our masks outside?
The New York Times reports a growing body of research showing that transmission of COVID-19 is far less likely outdoors than indoors, with the risks decreasing as more people get vaccinated and cases continue to decline.
After over a year of mask-wearing and social distancing, it is normal for people to be uncomfortable and even fearful when they cross paths with those not wearing masks. However, whether a mask is needed outdoors depends on local public health rules and whether you and the people you're with are vaccinated.
Dr. Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech is one of the world's leading experts on viral transmission. She said that brief encounters with an unmasked person passing you on the sidewalk or a hiking trail are very low risk. Viral particles quickly disperse in outdoor air, and "the risk of inhaling aerosolized virus from a jogger or passers-by is negligible," she said. "Even if a person coughs or sneezes outside as you walk by, the odds of you getting a large enough dose of virus to become infected remain low."
When it comes to the guidelines people should base their mask wearing on, Dr. Marr said it should be "on science and practicality. People only have so much bandwidth to think about precautions. I think we should focus on the areas that have highest risk of transmission, and give people a break when the risk is extremely low."
Dr. Marr implements a "two-out-of-three" rule for deciding when to wear a mask in public spaces or when she doesn't know someone's vaccination status. In these situations, she makes sure she's meeting two out of three conditions: outdoors, distanced and masked. She said, "if you're outdoors, you either need to be distanced or masked. If you're not outdoors, you need to be distanced and masked."
It is absolutely recommended to mask up if you're talking to someone who isn't vaccinated for an extended period of time, even if it is outdoors. Your risk of breathing someone else's air increases the longer and closer you stand to them, especially if you are in a crowded area outdoors. Walking your dog, riding a bike, hiking on a trail or picnicking with members of your household or vaccinated friends are all activities where the risk for contracting the virus is insignificant.
Although more-infectious virus variants have been circulating, the way viral transmission get spread hasn't changed, virus experts say. Though no vaccine offers 100% immunity, the rate of breakthrough infections so far has been extremely low. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported 5,800 cases of breakthrough infections among 75 million vaccinated people. The C.D.C. said vaccinated friends and family members can safely spend time together without masks.
Gregg Gonsalves, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, said he understands why some people may be hesitant to give up their masks outdoors: "Some of this is Covid hangover. We've been so traumatized by all of this. I think we need to have a little bit of compassion for the people having trouble letting go."

Earlier today I was exploring the astronomy features on WolframAlpha, when I stumbled upon an intriguing numerical relationship involving the values for the lunar synodic and sidereal months. Using the values
$$P_{syn}=1\,\text{synodic month}=29.530588\,\text{days},~~P_{sid}=1\,\text{sidereal month}=27.321661\,\text{days},$$
I noticed that this algebraic combination is very close to one year:
$$\frac{1}{P_{sid}^{-1}-P_{syn}^{-1}}=365.256396\,\text{days}\\ \frac{1}{P_{sid}^{-1}-P_{syn}^{-1}}-1\,\text{tropical year}=0.0142053\,\text{days}\approx20\,\text{minutes}.$$
I really doubt this this is a coincidence. Is there a simple way to understand what makes this approximate equality hold?

The wait continues to see who bought the three winning tickets in Friday's record $656 million lottery drawing.
If for some reason you haven't checked yet (yeah, right!) the winning numbers were 2, 4, 23, 38, 46 and the mega ball was 23.
We know the lucky tickets were purchased in Milford Mill, Md., Red Bud, Ill., and at a store somewhere in northeast Kansas ( officials haven't been more specific).
We also know that the winners can remain anonymous, if they wish, in Maryland and Kansas. Illinois would "shield the winner's identity" only on rare occasions, DelMarVaNow.com reports.
And we are seeing some stories about who the winners might be. The New York Post says a woman who works at a McDonald's in Maryland has said she might have a winning ticket — and that it's not among those she bought in conjunction with folks she works with. That isn't sitting well with the others at the restaurant, as you might imagine.
From St. Louis, KSDK-TV says "the town of Red Bud, Illinois, about 20 miles south of Belleville, is buzzing with rumors about who may have won a third of that prize, after a winning ticket was sold there." And lottery ticket sales are way up at the Moto Mart where the ticket was bought. It seems that some think lightning could indeed strike twice.
Speaking of lightning, last week Bill Isles of Wichita, Kan., bought a Mega Millions ticket and joked to a friend that he had a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning the jackpot.
You know where this story is heading:
"That night, Isles walked out into his backyard and got struck by lightning," The Wichita Eagle reports. 'It was like, flash, bang, instantly,' he said. Isles, 48, wasn't hit directly, but a jolt was strong enough to knock him face-first to the ground, start his muscles twitching, make his heart beat irregularly and scramble his thoughts."

Australian Small Gold Coins Overview
Gold coins are a favorite among gold investors for numerous reasons. Gold coins are produced by mints all over the world, and are available with a vast number of different looks and designs. Many gold coins feature designs that celebrate a nation's landscape or wildlife. Australian gold coins, for example, feature numerous animal designs that pay tribute to various native species of the country. Although 1 ounce gold coins are a favorite among larger investors or those with a bigger budget, small gold coins have become more and more popular over the years. Today, there are numerous Australian gold coins that come in smaller weights such as ¼ ounce or ½ ounce.
The primary benefit to Australian small gold coins is their relative affordability. These coins are often available in a fraction of an ounce, making them relatively more affordable for smaller investors or those on a tight budget.
Popular Australian Small Gold Coins
Many popular Australian gold coins are produced by The Perth Mint. This mint is the largest precious metals enterprise in the country, and it regularly exports some $18 billion in gold, silver and platinum coins and bars to over 100 countries per year. The Perth Mint is also part of a select group of gold refiners who have accreditation from five of the major gold exchanges. The Perth Mint is recognized for meeting some of the highest quality standards that exist today.
The Perth Mint provides other services as well, including the world's only government guaranteed precious metals investment and storage program.
When it comes to Australian small gold coins, investors have numerous choices. The Australian Gold Kangaroo coin may be a great choice for those looking for a smaller weight coin. The Australian Gold Kangaroo is available in several smaller weights including 1/10th ounce, ¼ ounce and ½ ounce. These gold coins feature the iconic kangaroo design as well as a profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. These coins are produced by The Perth Mint and are considered good, legal tender with varying face values based on weight.
These coins contain 999.9 percent fine gold, and are some of the finest gold coins available in the market today.
Certain gold coins may be eligible for purchase in an IRA account. Of course, you should consult your tax professional prior to making a purchase for an IRA to determine eligibility and to help ensure proper guidelines are followed.
Small gold coins are easily transported, and can be stored in a home safe, a bank safe deposit box or the depository of your choice.
Australian small gold coins may be particularly useful for those looking to diversify with many types and designs of coins. At a lower overall cost than 1 ounce gold coins, an investor may be able to purchase several different fractional coins for the same investment as a single 1 ounce coin.
Having some of the finest designs and highest purity available, Australian small gold coins are worth considering for any portfolio or collection.
