Flight Part II: From Balloons to Autopilot to Drones

The History of Computing

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 3, 2023 19:06

In our previous episode, we looked at the history of flight - from dinosaurs to the modern aircraft that carry people and things all over the world. Those helped to make the world smaller, but UAVs and drones have had a very different impact in how we lead our lives - and will have an even more substantial impact in the future. That might not have seemed so likely in the 1700s, though - when unmann Unmanned Aircraft Napoleon conquered Venice in 1797 and then ceded control to the Austrians the same year. He then took it as part of a treaty in 1805 and established the first Kingdom of Italy. Then lost it in 1814. And so they revolted in 1848. One of the ways the Austrians crushed the revolt, in part employing balloons, which had been invented in 1783, that were packed with explosives. 200 balloons packed with bombs later, one found a target. Not a huge surprise that such techniques didn't get used again for some time. The Japanese tried a similar tactic to bomb the US in World War II - then there were random balloons in the 2020s, just for funsies. A few other inventions needed to find one another in order to evolve into something entirely new. Radio was invented in the 1890s. Nikola Tesla built a radio controlled boat in 1898. Airplanes came along in 1903. Then came airships moved by radio. So it was just a matter of time before the cost of radio equipment came down enough to match the cost of building smaller airplanes that could be controlled with remote controls as well. The first documented occurrence of that was in 1907 when Percy Sperry filed a patent for a kite fashioned to look and operate like a plane, but glide in the wind. The kite string was the first remote control. Then electrical signals went through those strings and eventually the wire turned into radio - the same progress we see with most manual machinery that needs to be mobile. Technology moves upmarket, so Sperry Corporation the aircraft with autopilot features in 1912. At this point, that was just a gyroscopic heading indicator and attitude indicator that had been connected to hydraulically operated elevators and rudders but over time would be able to react to all types of environmental changes to save pilots from having to constantly manually react while flying. That helped to pave the way for longer and safer flights, as automation often does. Then came World War I. Tesla discussed aerial combat using unmanned aircraft in 1915 and Charles Kettering (who developed the electric cash register and the electric car starter) gave us The Kettering Bug, a flying, remote controlled torpedo of sorts. Elmer Sperry worked on a similar device. British war engineers like Archibald Low were also working on attempts but the technology didn't evolve fast enough and by the end of the war there wasn't much interest in military funding. But a couple of decades can do a lot. Both for miniaturization and maturity of technology. 1936 saw the development of the first navy UAV aircraft by the name of Queen Bee by Admiral William H. Stanley then the QF2. They was primarily used for aerial target practice as a low-cost radio-controlled drone. The idea was an instant hit and later on, the military called for the development of similar systems, many of which came from Hollywood of all places. Reginald Denny was a British gunner in World War I. They shot things from airplanes. After the war he moved to Hollywood to be an actor. By the 1930s he got interested in model airplanes that could fly and joined up with Paul Whittier to open a chain of hobby shops. He designed a few planes and eventually grew them to be sold to the US military as targets. The Radioplane as they would be known even got joysticks and they sold tens of thousands during World War II. War wasn't the only use for UAVs. Others were experimenting and by 1936 we got the first radio controlled model airplane competition in 1936, a movement that continued to grow and evolve into the 1970s. We got the Academy of Model Aeronautics (or AMA) in 1936, who launched a magazine called Model Aviation and continues to publish, provide insurance, and act as the UAV, RC airplane, and drone community representative to the FAA. Their membership still runs close to 200,000. Most of these model planes were managed from the ground using radio remote controls. The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, was established in 1934 to manage the airwaves. They stepped in to manage what frequencies could be used for different use cases in the US, including radio controlled planes. Where there is activity, there are stars. The Big Guff, built by brothers Walt and Bill Guff, was the first truly successful RC airplane in that hobbiest market. Over the next decades solid state electronics got smaller, cheaper, and more practical. As did the way we could transmit bits over those wireless links. 1947 saw the first radar-guided missile, the subsonic Firebird, which over time evolved into a number of programs. Electro-mechanical computers had been used to calculate trajectories for ordinances during World War II so with knowledge of infrared, we got infrared homing then television cameras mounted into missiles and when combined with the proximity fuse, which came with small pressure, magnetic, acoustic, radio, then optical transmitters. We got much better at blowing things up. Part of that was studying the German V-2 rocket programs. They used an analog computer to control the direction and altitude of missiles. The US Polaris and Minuteman missile programs added transistors then microchips to missiles to control the guidance systems. Rockets had computers and so they showed up in airplanes to aid humans in guiding those, often replacing Sperry's original gyroscopic automations. The Apollo Guidance Computer from the 1969 moon landing was an early example of times when humans even put their lives in the hands of computers - with manual override capabilities of course. Then as the price of chips fell in the 1980s we started to see them in model airplanes. Modern Drones By now, radio controlled aircraft had been used for target practice, to deliver payloads and blow things up, and even for spying. Aircraft without humans to weight them down could run on electric motors rather than combustable engines. Thus they were quieter. This technology allowed the UAVs to fly undetected thus laying the very foundation for the modern depiction of drones used by the military for covert operations. As the costs fell and carrying capacity increased, we saw them used in filmmaking, surveying, weather monitoring, and anywhere else a hobbyist could use their hobby in their career. But the cameras weren't that great yet. Then Fairchild developed the charge-coupled device, or CCD, in 1969. The first digital camera arguably came out of Eastman Kodak in 1975 when Steven Sasson built a prototype using a mixture of batteries, movie camera lenses, Fairchild CCD sensors, and Motorola parts. Sony came out with the Magnetic Video Camera in 1981 and Canon put the RC701 on the market in 1986. Fuji, Dycam, even the Apple QuickTake, came out in the next few years. Cameras were getting better resolution, and as we turned the page into the 1990s, those cameras got smaller and used CompactFlash to store images and video files. The first aerial photograph is attributed to Gaspar Tournachon, but the militaries of the world used UAVs that were B-17 and Grumman Hellcats from World War II that had been converted to drones full of sensors to study nuclear radiation clouds when testing weapons. Those evolved into Reconnaisance drones like the Aerojet SD-2, with mounted analog cameras in the 50s and 60s. During that time we saw the Ryan Firebees and DC-130As run thousands of flights snapping photos to aid intelligence gathering. Every country was in on it. The USSR, Iran, North Korea, Britain. And the DARPA-instigated Amber and then Predator drones might be considered the modern precursor to drones we play with today. Again, we see the larger military uses come down market once secrecy and cost meet a cool factor down-market. DARPA spent $40 million on the Amber program. Manufacturers of consumer drones have certainly made far more than that. Hobbyists started to develop Do It Yourself (DIY) drone kits in the early 2000s. Now that there were websites, we didn't have to wait for magazines to show up, we could take to the World Wide Web forums and trade ideas for how to do what the US CIA had done when they conducted the first armed drone strike in 2001 - just maybe without the weapon systems since this was in the back yard. Lithium-ion batteries were getting cheaper and lighter. As were much faster chips. Robotics had come a long way as well, and moving small parts of model aircraft was much simpler than avoiding all the chairs in a room at Stanford. Hobbyists turned into companies that built and sold drones of all sizes, some of which got in the way of commercial aircraft. So the FAA started issuing drone permits in 2006. Every technology had a point, where the confluence of all these technologies meets into a truly commercially viable product. We had Wi-Fi, RF (or radio frequency), iPhones, mobile apps, tiny digital cameras in our phones, and even in spy teddy bears, we understood flight, propellers, plastics were heavier-than-air, but lighter than metal. So in 2010 we got the Parrot AR Drone. This was the first drone that was sold to the masses that was just plug and play. And an explosion of drone makers followed, with consumer products ranging from around $20 to hundreds now. Drone races, drone aerogymnastics, drone footage on our Apple and Google TV screens, and with TinyML projects for every possible machine learning need we can imagine, UAVs that stabilize cameras, can find objects based on information we program into it, and any other use we can imagine. The concept of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has come a long way since the Austrians tried to bomb the Venetians into submission. Today there are mini drones, foldable drones, massive drones that can carry packages, racing drones, and even military drones programmed to kill. In fact, right now there are debates raging in the UN around whether to allow drones to autonomously kill. Because Skynet. We're also experimenting with passenger drone technology. Because autonomous driving is another convergence just waiting in the wings. Imagine going to the top of a building and getting in a small pod then flying a few buildings over - or to the next city. Maybe in our lifetimes, but not as soon as some of the companies who have gone public to do just this thought.

Business Taxes – 5 Steps to Avoid a Tax Nightmare

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens

Episode 6: In this episode, Timalyn discusses how, as a business owner, you need to take 5 steps to avoid a tax nightmare. Timalyn has seen many business owners actually go out of business because they either didn't know about or avoided important steps related to taxes. Timalyn wants you to understand important tax issues, so you don't run into problems with the IRS. You Don't Know What You Don't Know Timalyn comments that in our Do It Yourself (DIY) society, many people try to handle taxes on their own. If your income and expenses are fairly simple, you might be okay using one of the online services. However, many people have situations that are much more complicated than they realize. Having an experienced professional helping you is a significant way to reduce your risk of a tax nightmare. Step 1 – Know Your Filing Obligations Most people are aware of the April 15th tax filing deadline. However, your business may have other filing deadlines, depending upon the type of structure your business has. Timalyn spends a significant amount of time working with clients who missed tax filing deadlines and are now faced with failure to file penalties. In some cases, she's able to abate (i.e. remove) those penalties, but it's a case by case basis. Single Member LLC/Sole Proprietor – April 15th is the typical deadline. A single member LLC is a state-designation. You'll file a Schedule C for your business operations, as part of your personal income tax return (1040). Corporation – April 15th is the deadline. You don't have to be a large business to be a corporation. Many doctors, attorneys, accountants and other professionals form corporations as their business entity structure. Partnership – March 15th is the deadline. If 2 or more people come together to form a business, they have a partnership. It's important to realize you're not treated as 2 or more sole proprietors. The tax classification defaults your entity to a partnership. You have to file a 1065. Remember, your personal tax return (1040) is due on April 15th. Your state return deadline depends on the state you're in. Your business can elect to be taxed as a corporation or S-Corp, but the default results in your entity being treated as a partnership. S-Corp – (April 15th) The S-Corp is a hybrid of a partnership and corporation. This entity files an 1120S but does not pay tax at the federal level. The profits are divided among the shareholders and that taxable income will be reported on your personal tax return. Non-Profit – May 15th is the deadline. Unlike the above entities if a non-profit fails to file on time, the failure to file penalties are assessed on a daily basis. This type of business could risk being shut down or losing its tax-exempt status. As a business owner, officer, partner or shareholder, it's easy to get confused by the various filing deadlines. This can sometimes lead to a sense of feeling overwhelmed. Resist the temptation to ignore the situation. Timalyn often reminds us that neither the ostrich-approach or the pray-and-wait approach is an effective way to deal with the IRS. Step 2 – Know Your Tax Payment Obligations When people make the transition from W-2 employee to being self-employed, you have to remember you're responsible for both the employer and employee contributions to social security and Medicare. This is called self-employment tax (if you have a Single-Member LLC, you're a Sole Proprietor or you're in a Partnership). independent contractors (1099 status) are sole proprietors by default. Even if you made less than $10,000 in income for your job or side-gig, you still are responsible for paying your self-employment tax (FICA). This actually surprises a lot of people. More importantly, it's a significant 15.3% tax. You do get a self-employment tax deduction for half of that amount, but you have to pay the tax before you get to take the deduction. As a business owner, you're also responsible for making quarterly, estimated tax payments. These payments will be counted toward your year-end tax liability. Timalyn clarifies the difference between a tax liability and a tax refund. The liability is what you owe to the government. A tax refund is sent to you, because you overpaid your taxes. Some people want to avoid getting a tax refund. This means they're managing their revenues and expenses in a way that minimizes their tax liability. Others, however, like to get that check in the mail, once they've filed their taxes. If you fail to make your quarterly, estimated tax payments (or decide not to), you'll still be responsible for the total tax liability at the end of the year. The IRS will assess an under-payment penalty because you didn't make the quarterly payments. Timalyn recommends that you treat your quarterly tax payments as a normal business expense, just like the electric bill. Know you're responsible for them and play accordingly. The IRS doesn't ignore tax revenue. If you fall behind, the IRS can issue a tax lien or a tax levy to recoup the money owed. Step 3 – Have a Tax Plan The purpose of a tax plan is to develop a strategy to help you cope with your taxes, going forward. It's not just about the current or upcoming year. An effective tax plan forecasts the growth of your business and lays out a plan to help you minimize your tax liability over the next 10-15 years. Step 4 – Maximize Your Tax Deductions Timalyn recommends that you form a team of advisors including a tax professional, a financial advisor and a business attorney. The IRS does have a very useful small business center. When you evaluate people to potentially become one of your advisors, make sure they have practical experience working in your niche. They need to understand your type of business. Not all accounting professionals have the same type of experience. Not all attorneys focus on the same area of law. Find an expert who knows your industry. Step 5 – Outsource Your Tax Planning and Tax Preparation The DIY society is alive and well. However, taxes are complicated. The consequences of getting it wrong, missing deadlines, etc. can be devastating to a business. The IRS estimates the Schedule C takes 10-12 hours to prepare. Remember, the Schedule C is only one part of the sole proprietor and Single Member LLCs tax return. Timalyn asks you to consider how valuable your time is and what you could have done or earned with that 10-12 hours (and more) spent preparing your taxes. It's often worth the money, the frustration and the time to outsource your tax preparation to an experienced professional. The IRS information on its website to help you to better understand the various types of professionals who are authorized to help you with your tax returns. Is your preparer actually authorized to do your taxes? Remember, these 5 steps are important. Back taxes shouldn't ruin your life. They shouldn't force you to close down your business. You need to be proactive, so you can focus on the core mission and profitability of your business. As we conclude Episode 6, we'd like to encourage you to connect with Timalyn on social media.

Mas a crise climática e a pressão de organizações de consumidores, revoltados com a chamada obsolescência programada dos aparelhos eletroeletrônicos, estão possibilitando mudanças de paradigmas. Laetitia Vasseur, cofundadora de uma das principais entidades do gênero na França, a HOP, já nota uma grande diferença no comportamento dos consumidores e das fabricantes desde que a associação foi criada, há sete anos. "Mais de 70% das pessoas têm vontade e estão dispostas a consertar os produtos que estragam, segundo algumas pesquisas, em vez de jogar fora e comprar outro. A dificuldade é realizar esse desejo, que enfrenta barreiras como encontrar novas peças, o objeto ser muito difícil de abrir ou desmontar, ou o preço elevado das peças para o conserto”, explica. O problema, que antigamente era tratado com resignação pelos consumidores, ganhou os holofotes nos últimos anos e a pressão aumentou sobre as fabricantes. Hoje, as lojas de consertos de telefones ganharam espaço até em shopping centers, algo inimaginável há uma década. Mas o caminho ainda é longo para uma solução à altura, para a telefonia. "Na Europa há diretivas, regulamentações, que impõem um prazo mínimo legal de disponibilidade de peças para conserto. Quando está indicado que o prazo mínimo é sete anos, já temos um período bastante longo e para alguns produtos, como uma máquina de lavar roupas, chega a 10 anos”, afirma Laetitia. "Portanto é óbvio que é necessário poder encontrar as peças durante todo o período de uso.” Fundo para consertos Na França, uma ampla lei de 2020 sobre a economia circular prevê uma iniciativa inédita na União Europeia: ajuda financeira para incitar os consumidores a levar eletrodomésticos e material de informática para o conserto. A ideia é que eles possam recorrer a uma rede certificada de profissionais, associada oficialmente à medida, e tenham cerca de 10% da conta coberta pelo governo. Com o tempo, o objetivo é adaptar essa parcela conforme a longevidade do produto: geladeiras e lavadoras deverão ser melhor atendidas do que smartphones, por exemplo. A verba, de incialmente € 20 milhões por ano, será financiada por uma "ecotaxa" cobrada na venda de produtos novos. A meta é que, em seis anos, o valor do fundo ultrapasse os € 100 milhões. O projeto, entretanto, está atrasado – vítima, por um lado, do contexto econômico de inflação alta e, por outro, das dificuldades de os organizadores contemplarem toda a cadeia envolvida. A ideia de adoção de um teto para os valores dos consertos assusta os profissionais, por exemplo. Já os especializados em reciclagem temem recolher menos produtos quando a lei entrar em vigor. "É muito decepcionante, considerando que é uma obrigação legal. Estava previsto em lei que entraria em vigor em 2022 e o governo teve tempo de se preparar. Alguns dos atores envolvidos se prepararam, afinal o sistema não é simples, mas é possível”, lamenta Laetitia Vasseur "Porém o que estamos vendo é que os envolvidos não chegam a um acordo. Deveríamos estar acelerando o passo, mas o que acontece é que parou tudo, num momento em que já enfrentamos o aumento da inflação e da emergência climática”, ressalta. Do It Yourself Enquanto isso, os consumidores tentam se virar como podem. Antes restrita a sites especializados em eletrônicos, agora a revenda de peças ocorre também dentro de plataformas comuns de transações de usados, como LeBoncoin, líder do setor na França. No Youtube, pipocam influenciadores de Do It Yourself (DIY), determinados a ajudar qualquer um a consertar uma lavadora ou um tablet. Uma iniciativa já antiga, o Repair Café, nasceu na Holanda e se espalhou por várias cidades europeias na Espanha, Alemanha ou França. No local, um café, amadores ajudam-se uns aos outros e trocam dicas para consertar os mais diversos produtos. Muitas vezes, basta uma limpeza adequada para fazer funcionar novamente uma máquina de café. Laetitia Vasseur, da organização HOP, lembra que, a cada ano, um francês joga fora 23 quilos de lixo eletroeletrônico. A reciclagem pode parecer um fim digno para o produto, mas as aparências enganam. "Antes disso, há muito coisa a ser feita. A reciclagem não deve ser vista como uma solução ideal”, frisa a militante. "Precisamos alongar a duração de vida dos produtos, consertá-los, antes de entregá-los à reciclagem.”

Vanessa debunks common myths about side hustles and guides you on how to set up the proper foundation for success. We end the discussion on what is the right amount of monthly revenue you need to generate to start considering making your side hustle a full time venture. QUOTES “You don't need a 35 page business plan here. What you need is you need something to share with the world so they can understand what it is that you are delivering. So the 3 components of that, that I always tell my clients are who, what, how. Who are you serving? What problem do they have? And how it is that you help them?” - Vanessa Zamy [10:34] “Don't be sitting here doing DIY, if you try DIY stuff all your life, guess what, you're going to waste 5, 10, 15 years, which you could have done in 1 month, you going to end up spending 5 years trying to get it done. That's what happens to the DIYers. So ensure you get the help and support that you need, whether it's a mentor, whether it's an expert, whether it's a coach, whatever it may be, but get the guidance that you need, so you can ensure that you are successful and set up for success from the get go.” - Vanessa Zamy [17:35] “The first income goal you want to reach [to consider going full time on your side hustle] is that you want to be able to in a month for your business reach a point where you have covered your business and personal expenses and then you want to be at least consistent with that.” - Vanessa Zamy [24:13] TIMESTAMPS [0:41] Meet Vanessa Zamy [2:17] Overview of Vanessa's side hustle program and how she helps 9 to 5ers start a side hustle [3:54] Biggest myths about starting side hustles and what Vanessa's advice is to help you navigate through them [8:22] Going through an example of a restaurant business as a side hustle [10:22] How to set up the foundation for a side hustle and going through an example [14:36] When should you expect your first sale from your side hustle to validate your business [16:16] What entrepreneurs aren't telling you when they are pushing their programs to show you how to make a lot of money in a short time [17:33] Why you shouldn't Do-It-Yourself (DIY) if you want to build a successful side business fast [22:57] When you should consider going full time on your side hustle [26:13] How to have the discussion with your family about quitting your day job to go pursue your side hustle full time [28:09] Contacting Vanessa [29:03] Outro RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Vanessa Zamy on Facebook Vanessa Zamy on LinkedIn 5 Day Business Bootcamp For 9-to-5ers Program Finish: The Solopreneur's Guide to Getting Stuff Done By Vanessa Zamy on Amazon Chan With A Plan Max Chan on LinkedIn

What this episode is about? Nobody comes to Canada with expectation of not being successful. Immigration to a new country, however, often puts newcomers into unfortunate circumstances. Too many immigrants are unable to fulfill their potential because their professional certification is not valid in Canada. Getting certified in Canada is challenging to the absolute majority of newcomers, as it requires significant financial resources. Financial challenges are aggravated by the fact that newcomers often have low credit scores in Canada and thus are subject to terrible interest rates for their loans. Well, there is a solution to this "no money - no certification, no certification - no money" loop! Windmill provides microloans of up to $15,000 to skilled immigrants and refugees so they can succeed in their careers. They support clients to obtain the Canadian licensing or training required to work in their field, or to secure a position which matches their level of education, skills, and experience. Their loans can pay for exams, training, assessments, books and materials, living allowance, relocation costs, professional association fees, and other expenses related to advancing their career. Thanks to these loans newcomers are included in the labor market in Canada and can compete for high wage jobs fully applying their foreign experience and knowledge. Higher wages mean higher taxes. As a result newcomers pay higher taxes and spend their hard-earned money in Canada thus stimulating economy.

What this episode is about? We all know that love knows no boundaries. However, in reality there are a lot of obstacles international couples may need to go around if they want to stay together and not being separated by the border. In this episode I invite Alicia Backman-Beharry, an amazing Canadian Immigration Lawyer who joined Holthe Immigration Law in August of 2020, to discuss spousal sponsorship applications. We talk about the differences between Inside and Outside Canada Sponsorships, benefits and drawbacks of each type of the application, as well as reasons why your Spouse or Common-Law Partner Class or Family Class application can be refused. COVID-19 and the travel restriction also had a significant impact on the processing of the Spousal Sponsorship applications. Alicia and I discussed how this global pandemic impacted applicants and how IRCC takes a ruthless approach of refusing applications for frivolous mistakes, in attempt to keep the processing time down. I definitely recommend that you listen to this episode carefully, because even slightest mistake can crush your plans of sponsoring your loved ones. Also, take a note of tips we provide that can help you make sure your application is not refused: 1. Examine and follow your Documents Checklist with forensic level of details 2. Provide sufficient proof of genuineness of your relationships 3. Provide an explanation along with your application if any of the documents or questions do not apply to your situation. 4. Make sure you have added your signatures and validated your forms 5. Ensure your photos meet the requirements.

Many remember the 1980s as the era of Ronald Reagan, a conservative decade populated by preppies and yuppies dancing to a soundtrack of electronic synth pop music. In some ways, it was the "MTV generation." However, the decade also produced some of the most creative works of punk culture, from the music of bands like the Minutemen and the Dead Kennedys to avant-garde visual arts, literature, poetry, and film. In We're Not Here to Entertain, Kevin Mattson documents what Kurt Cobain once called a "punk rock world" --the all-encompassing hardcore-indie culture that incubated his own talent. Mattson shows just how widespread the movement became--ranging across the nation, from D.C. through Ohio and Minnesota to LA--and how democratic it was due to its commitment to Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tactics. Mattson is in conversation with fellow punk rock historian Mike Foley. ________________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo & Michael Kowaleski Theme: "I Love All My Friends," a new, unreleased demo by Fragile Gang.

084: Does Canada need an investor immigration program similar to American EB-5 program?

What this episode is about? In the midst of COVID 19 pandemic we, Canadian Immigration Lawyers often ask ourselves – what is going on with immigration and how Canada can adapt to the new normal with existing and new potential immigration programs? In light of the ongoing and severe economic crisis Canada really could use some investment and even consider rolling out a new immigration program to get back on track with the recovery from consequences of the pandemic. This would allow our country to bring in new awesome people, give a boost to our economy, create new jobs across Canada. As a chair of the Canadian Bar Association Immigration Section I have had a great opportunity to discuss immigration with number of organizations, including the Conference Board of Canada, which has been proposing some alternatives to the investor program. So, in this episode I bring on Phil Cohen to discuss what can we do as a country to help encourage more investment in Canada. During this episode we look into investor programs existing in other countries, in particular EB-5 program that exists in United States. This, then leads us to a discussion of how a program, similar to EB-5 would be of benefit to Canada. EB-5 is an American immigration program that allows both, Americans and foreign nationals to set up companies that can raise money from immigrant investors. In return, investors can qualify for a Green Card (alternative to Canadian Permanent Residence) so long that the business achieves certain requirements, such as: The investor has to invest a minimum amount of $900,000 or $1,800,000 USD The business must create a minimum of 10 jobs for each investor the business takes on This program allows to attract significant amount of investments to small and large businesses. In times of economic uncertainty the program like EB-5, without a doubt, benefits not only the business seeking investment, but also has a great positive impact on economy and the public. Moreover, the cost of the capital typically ends up being much lower when businesses seeks for investments through EB-5 program. Tune in to learn more details about American EB-5 program and potential benefit Canada would enjoy if we implement similar program in our country. About today's guest of the Canadian Immigration Podcast Phil Cohen is the founder and president of Strategic Element as well as the Editor-in-Chief of The EB-5 Definitive Guide (see: www.starteb5.com for more information). Phil has a long history of developing businesses, business concepts and products, dating back to 1993. With a career that began in the manufacturing sector, and grew to include new developments in technology and a variety of start-ups, Phil has progressively built up experience in the area of new business development with a focus on transforming ideas in to viable business models. Phil has worked with large public companies as well as small and mid-sized start-ups and businesses. Beyond the development of business concepts, models and plans, Phil has taken a hands-on role in the launch of several businesses and business initiatives.

About the host of the Canadian Immigration Podcast Mark Holthe is a Canadian Immigration Lawyer based in Lethbridge, Alberta. He has started his legal career with a large national law firm in Calgary where he initiated the business immigration practice at the firm. Since those early days, he has had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of law firm configurations before finally realizing that the best place for him was within the confines of an immigration boutique firm of his own making. As a Canadian immigration lawyer, Mark has particular experience in assisting clients with all aspects of Canadian immigration law. He assists large national and multinational companies in navigating the complex world of Canadian immigration and provides strategic immigration advice to international and domestic companies seeking to recruit and retain foreign skilled and semi-skilled personnel. Mark also assists temporary foreign workers with their transition to permanent resident status in Canada and over the past few years, he has taken great satisfaction in helping individuals and families with their various immigration related needs. Mark finds no greater satisfaction than helping to facilitate the reunification of families. While attending law school, Mark worked as an Immigration officer for Citizenship and Immigration Canada on the Alberta/Montana border. While completing his final year of law school, he worked as a pro bono student to the Canada Border Services Agency Hearings Officers representing the minister before the Immigration Appeal Division in Calgary, Alberta. As a result of his prior experience as an immigration officer, Mark has been able to enhance the services he offers to his cross-border and overseas clients. Since that time, he has continued to work hard fostering positive relationships with the various immigration related government departments and has focused a significant portion of his practice on cross-border matters.
