'There's a danger it becomes the Elon Musk show': What Twitter's takeover means for brands
From debates over transparency and moderation, to what he really means by "freedom of speech", what does the Tesla CEO's Twitter takeover mean for brands?
By Molly Innes 26 Apr 2022 3:35 pm
Less than two weeks ago, Elon Musk announced his bid for a Twitter takeover. Despite an initial attempt at a "poison pill" from the Twitter board, allowing existing shareholders to buy stocks at a substantial discount to dilute the holdings of new investors, yesterday the platform accepted Musk's offer.
Acquiring Twitter for around $44bn (£35bn), Musk says he wants to make the platform "better than ever". In a statement, the Tesla boss suggested new features, making the algorithms open source, "defeating the spam bots" and verifying all users are on the top of his agenda.
While he attempts to unlock the platform's "tremendous potential", what does this signify for its advertising and marketing capabilities?
Twitter's Q4 2021 results put advertising revenue at $1.41bn ($1.1bn), up 22% year on year. Media analyst Ian Whittaker describes the site as a "middling sized platform lacking the reach of the big platforms". Will the Musk era change that?
"It's not a brand builder," says analyst Alex DeGroote, who suggests the Musk takeover is "potentially a total gamechanger" and something about which marketers need to be fully alert.
"The site may look the same for the time being, but the ethos may be very different," he adds.
I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 25, 2022
While Twitter hasn't yet managed to reach the heights of Instagram and Facebook for its advertising offering, associate analyst at GlobalData Daniel Clarke points out that the platform has "improved a lot in terms of advertising, which makes up the majority of the company's revenue". However, he still sees "room for improvement".
The company revealed in its fourth quarter result its "monetisable daily active users" – meaning those who see ads on the platform – increased by 6 million to 217 million over the last three months of 2021.
Last night, Musk himself gained a record number of followers – 877,000 in just a day, according to data from Emplifi. His tweet about free speech became his best-performing to date, with 3 million interactions.
'The Elon Musk Show'
Free speech is one of the most contentious topics surrounding Musk's bid.
As a free speech advocate, the Tesla boss talks about unlocking Twitter's potential, which could mean becoming "the town hall for global democracy" says DeGroote.
Musk's interest in free freech could also signal a return of Donald Trump to the platform, who was given a lifetime ban following the Capitol insurrection in January 2021. Trump has already refuted this. DeGroote suggests the Musk takeover will "redress the balance politically", with the "consensus view" being Twitter is "left of centre".
CEO of International Marketing Partners, Allyson Stewart-Allen believes Musk's motivation for buying Twitter is straightforward. She suspects he wants to "own a mouthpiece" to benefit himself and his companies.
"I don't think it's about freedom of speech and democracy, which is the angle that he's been taking," says Stewart-Allen. "Unregulated unbridled freedom of speech leads to things like Facebook."
She questions how healthy it is to have another social media platform that "does not intervene, or self monitor to a high standard."
A lack of moderation could impact both users and advertisers. Clarke points out that if content moderation is "lazily applied" under Musk, advertisers will be worried about the potential impact to their brands.
"This is a clear unknown factor when it comes to advertisers," he adds.
There is a danger this becomes the Elon Musk show. And more political. Most brands will not want this
Alex DeGroote
However, head of tech at Enders Analysis Joseph Evans sees an opportunity.
"You can see the argument that maybe it's actually not good for a widely used platform to be moderating in order to create the best environment for corporations to advertise," he suggests.
Clarke agrees there are possibilities for marketers, the idea being that if users feel like the platform is a "better place for debate, or is more interesting generally, monthly users will start to increase."
"This would be great for marketers, who would have a larger pool of potential revenue streams," he adds.
However, DeGroote believes marketers should stay away until there is clarity about what a Musk-owned Twitter will look like.
'We've given the world a megaphone': TikTok on carving out a place in culture
"There is a danger this becomes the Elon Musk Show. And more political. Most brands will not want this," he says.
But what about Musk's own brands? Could the public perception of Twitter taint the prospects of Tesla or SpaceX?
"The thing I would worry about is the contagion of the other brands that could be tainted by whatever happens on Twitter," says Stewart-Allen.
"So if people are fed up with Musk on Twitter, then they might say, well, 'Musk is a twit and I'm not going to buy Tesla either' and so the other brands might be tarnished."
'Unlocking' Twitter's potential
Hand in hand with free speech goes brand safety. Given Musk has talked of greater transparency around algorithms and better authentication of users, ISBA director general Phil Smith admits on face value these are moves advertisers are likely to welcome. But that is not the full story.
"If 'freedom of speech' means Twitter would pull back from all the progress made by the industry on responsibility, transparency and accountability, led by the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, ISBA and its members would be very concerned," Smith adds.
Evans also points out that some advertisers turn off buying ads on Twitter as soon as anything controversial happens on the platform, as they don't want to be adjacent to those conversations.
"A lack of moderation could make that worse," he notes.
Everyone thinks he's a god because he's made a lot of money. But I don't think that's really the test of success. The test of success will be user activity.
Allyson Stewart-Allen, International Marketing Partners
Looking at the potential impact on advertising broadly, Musk's takeover could see the company move in a different direction.
"We could see Twitter relying less on advertising altogether," Evans says, suggesting the platform could move over to a subscription model. That being said, he doesn't believe much will change on the product side.
Reflecting on realising Twitter's value, Evans thinks Musk still has a way to go to work that out.
"No one has been able to figure out a way of unlocking that potential," he adds.
The true test for Musk will be helping the platform to grow, which may not come as easily as he believes.
"Everyone thinks he's [Musk] a god because he's made a lot of money. But I don't think that's really the test of success," she adds. "The test of success will be user activity."

TikTok is the favoured online happy place for millions of global users, one that celebrates self-expression and individuality, where the default setting is always to be positive, active and just a bit silly. Now, as it turns increasingly to more serious matters, will brands finally find a way to join in?

Appel à communications: Seventeenth Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, Genders, and Sexualities
19/10/2015 Appels à... / Calls for..., Colloques / ConférencesAppel à communication, Berkshire, Big Berks, Call for Papers, femmes, gender, genre, New York, sexualité, sexuality, womenKatie Jarvis
Difficult Conversations: Thinking and Talking about Women,
Genders, and Sexualities Inside and Outside the Academy
at Hofstra University, Hempstead NY
The deadline for submission of proposals for individual papers, panels, and other sessions is January 15, 2016. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the Berkshire Conference website. (http://2017berkshireconference.hofstra.edu/call-for-papers/#instructions). This site will be available for submissions from August 1, 2015 to January 15, 2016. As part of the submission process, you will be asked to select the Theme Track, or subject area, in which you would like your proposal considered. Your proposal will then be forwarded to the appropriate Track Chair.
Themed Tracks
From those listed below, please identify the subject area in which you wish to have your proposal considered. Note: Several divisions include suggested themes for exploration. These suggestions do not preclude proposals on other topics. Questions about tracks should be directed to track co-chairs.
Gender and the State: Majorities and Minorities
The state is present in gendered debates on the rights and obligations of citizenship, the provision of social welfare, governance and control, hierarchy and fealty, discrimination and marginalization. State power and also state violence are expressed differentially according to gender, with reference to legal status, reproductive rights, marriage, death, and an individual's inclusion in the polity. Proposals might explore some of the following questions: How are gendered experiences and identities shaped by the state, and how do the demands of sexual, racial, ethnic, religious, and indigenous minorities shape state practices and institutions? How does power circulate between majorities and minorities, and how is difference, subordination, and subjecthood produced by the state, and also challenged by non-dominant communities? Specific examples might also refer to legal equality and legal status; struggles for suffrage; reproductive, human, and migrant rights; and the regulation of gendered forms of labor.
Track Chairs:
Elisa Camiscioli, Binghamton University, SUNY, ecamis@binghamton.edu
Sarah Eppler Janda, Cameron University, sarahj@cameron.edu
Social Justice, Migration and the City
Cities – as spatial forms, economic entities, and human habitats – are dynamic hubs where identity, social relations, power, inequality, and social change are visible and contested in the natural, built, and human environment, in memories and artifacts of the past, and the present. Movements of people searching for better lives and for greater opportunities, fleeing persecution and violence, or just escaping the confines of their previous lives, often end up in cities. Whether segregated or intermingled, people from different regions and different parts of the world negotiate space and identity, fight for justice and create change. We invite proposals from historians and interdisciplinary scholars working on different geographical areas, or transnationally, that explore some aspect of the historical role that migrants, migration and urban space have played in advancing both inequality and freedom, in incubating struggles for social justice and change.
Proposals in this track are encouraged to consider the following questions: how migration and mobility have impacted economic, social, cultural and political relations and formations; how the city as a spatial form influences perceptions about poverty and wealth, citizenship, social control and the nation of freedom; how global forces, markets and privatization create and/or shape urban spaces and people's lives; how inequalities manifest in urban spaces and through institutions such as housing, employment, and education; how cities shape notions of community and belonging, identity, access and exclusion; and how urban (suburban and ex-urban) environments structure organizing, grassroots activism and social justice agendas
Lynette Jackson, University of Illinois at Chicago, lajackso@uic.edu
Rhonda Williams, Case Western Reserve, ryw@case.edu
Globalized Labor
Examining women's labor from a global perspective offers many possibilities to consider historical specificity, women's migration, political involvement, and transnational social movements, as well as the multiple ways in which women's labor shapes and is shaped by broader political and economic processes. It also examines how women's labor has defined global circuits, labor demands, and transnational labor, especially in regards to intimate labor, care-giving, outsourcing life (surrogacy), lack of documentation, and informal economies. By the same token, we are interested in papers that look at how women have organized to challenge women's disenfranchisement and oppression within globalized systems of labor and production.
We invite proposals from historians of different geographical areas, transnational scholars, as well as activists that address the following areas: women and transatlantic/transpacific migration; trafficking and forced labor; neoliberalism and labor migration; subcontracted labor; guest workers; the informal sector; women entrepreneurs; the gender pay gap; women's labor and climate change; segregated labor markets; international labor organizing; women's labor and social reproduction; transnational families and women's work; surrogate motherhood and transnational adoption; women's labor and free trade policy; the wages for housework movement; working class/labor movements; transnational social movements; the International Labour Organization (ILO) and women's labor; labor legislation/protective legislation and women workers.

4. Slavery and Other Forms of Unfree Labor
We invite historians, activists, and others who are interested in examining how systems of unfree labor shaped lived experiences in "free" and "unfree" societies from ancient times to the twenty-first century. Slavery configured the geographic landscape of all who came into contact with it and connected societies economically, especially as global capitalism developed rapidly. As a result of slavery's commodification, systems of inequality were established that still linger. We hope that the panel presentations offered will provide deep analyses of slavery, push forward new methodological approaches, broaden historiographical borders that have surrounded the subject, and advance new questions about the historical legacies of unfree labor. We are especially interested in receiving proposals that emphasize the gendered dimensions of slavery and unfree labor in comparative frameworks temporally and spatially, from the ancient world to the 21st century. Papers might include analyses of slave systems that connected societies across the Atlantic, Pacific or Indian oceans, trans-Saharan slavery, convict labor, sexual (including marriage) and debt slavery, or other institutions of bonded labor.

Deirdre Cooper-Owens, Queens College, deirdre.cooperowens@qc.cuny.edu
Women, Gender and Capitalism
With the recent, renewed interest in the history of capitalism, we seek to open up a conversation that deepens our understanding of capitalism and its diverse role in the transformation of economies and societies across the globe. We are particularly interested in proposals that consider how the study of women and gender can help us better understand global capitalism as an internally differentiated and interconnected, shared structure. Proposals that join an innovative use of both quantitative and qualitative methods and evidence will be given special consideration, as will those that incorporate how historians, activists, artists, economists and others have engaged with the histories of capitalism. We invite submissions on topics as diverse as corporate capitalism, the service economy, markets and consumption, business, the environment and development, social networks, globalization and antiglobalization, and big data.
Susie Pak, St. John's, paks1@stjohns.edu
Susan Gauss University at Albany, SUNY, sgauss@albany.edu
Sexualities, Gender Identities and Expressions
We call for proposals that consider the question of how sex, sexualities and gender are managed and maintained across boundaries of race, class, and culture (among others). New paths of contestation engaging the fluidity of genders and sexualities are called for in the current state of emergency surrounding issues of anti-Black racism and police brutality that have generated public protest in the United States. Similarly, popular and state uprisings across the Middle East and North Africa (among others), have destabilized conventional hierarchies. How might these conflicts generate new models of activism, scholarship, and praxis along axes of gender identity, expression, and sexualities? How do emergent gender identities and sexual expressions produce both antagonisms and possibilities? Papers that concern historically situated race and racism and local and transnational state violence are particularly relevant. The Sexualities and Gender Identities and Expressions track will also consider but not be limited to: queer pedagogies; reproductive technologies and sexualities; relations among Feminist Studies/LGBTQ Studies/ Queer Studies; police states and violence; intimate partner violence; social protest; pleasure and sexual practices; trans*/national movements and movement building; political coalitions; dangerous intimacies.

7. Women, Gender and Science
The Program Committee welcomes proposals for panels, papers, round-table discussions, or other presentations on all aspects of the history of women, gender(s), and science (including medicine and technology). We are particularly interested in creating a program that includes a range of geographic areas, historical periods, and methodologies. We welcome proposals that are interdisciplinary and intersectional, and that represent a diverse set of voices within academia and beyond including, but not limited to, those that engage visual and performing arts, science fiction, civic science, do-it-yourself experiments, computing and the Maker Movement. We especially encourage panel proposals that bring together scholars, artists, and/or practitioners around a common theme.

Pedagogy and Work Culture, K-12
The Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, Genders, and Sexualities brings together thousands of historians, activists, educators, and artists to share their research and activism. The 2017 conference especially wants to involve teachers and teacher educators in a lively discussion of teachers' work as well as curriculum, pedagogy, and the history of education informed by feminist, queer, Marxist, and race-based theory. We plan to partner teachers and teacher educators with academics, school activists, museum educators, librarians, and artists to explore gender and sexuality in school curricula and the life of schools and those who work there. A range of creative presentation formats—including performance-based, digital, and open forum—are encouraged. Possible topics include: How genders and sexuality are taught (or not taught) in the curriculum in the era of high stakes testing; Engaging social issues in K-12 curriculum (e.g., peace, suffrage, temperance, anti-lynching) that illuminate and enrich the understanding of a particular era or movement; The gendered nature of the attack on public education, the history of women in the schools, and teacher union history; Gender and the work of teachers, including oral histories of closeted and "out" queer educators.

Women, Gender and War
War, as a time of dramatic rupture and change, can bring terrible suffering but also, potentially, opportunity. Wars serve to construct, fracture and challenge gender identities and gendered hierarchies. Gender, moreover, has been a mobilizing theme for both anti-war and militaristic movements. We invite innovative contributions that address topics such as the gendered dimensions of both home fronts and battle fronts; the intersections of gender, ethnicity and religious identification in war contexts; the ways that different genders and sexualities are negotiated within wartime regimes; the intersections of war, gender, science and technology; the gendered dimensions of war memory, memorialization and mourning; the gendering of wartime discourse and propaganda; and media, literary and visual representations of gender, war and conflict. Submissions may deal with any geographical area(s) and any historical era, from ancient to modern.

10. Refugees, Asylum and Gender
Gender and sexuality have shaped the flow of people fleeing war persecution, man-made and natural catastrophes, playing a strong role not only in who flees, but also in what they experience. Additionally, as a form of forced migration, refugee migration invites juxtaposition with detention and deportation, international adoption, and human trafficking. Thus we invite path breaking contributions that address the experiences of such coerced migrants in various times and places, focusing on such topics as sustaining everyday life in refugee camps and in resettlement, gendered persecution (such as intimate partner violence, forced marriage, or rape) in asylum cases, gendered treatment of refugees, gendered effects of refugee and asylum policies, the gendered discourse of refugees and asylum, gendered forms of resilience and creativity, the intersection of gender/race/culture/ability and sexuality and historic and ongoing inequity as a factor in forced migration. We especially welcome proposals that cross boundaries, creatively re-think the nature and format of presentations, and include presenters from beyond the confines of academia.

Women, Gender and Religion
The twenty-first century has seen a revival of religion as a marker of gender difference in many parts of the globe. Religious concepts and practices continue to be invoked to strengthen hierarchies, enforce conformity, and deny fundamental rights. In light of those developments, submissions to Difficult Conversations on women, gender, and religion, are invited to reassess historical scholarship of the past decades that revealed competing theologies, and to question how, at this stage in history, scholars and activists may effectively advance more nuanced understandings of faith, religious systems, and the values associated with them. Of particular interest are questions of gendered agency and authority in religion; religious "tradition" and identity; and the interplay between religion and sexuality.

Performance Studies and Visual Culture
This track explores the ways in which performance and visual culture can create, interrogate, and reshape the meanings and representations of gender, sexuality, race, class, ability and other categories of identification. Papers and presenters from any discipline that seeks to theorize and understand historical and contemporary modes of embodiment, agency, representation, and resistance are encouraged. Proposals may also incorporate short performances as a means of enhancing audience engagement with central questions about agency, representation and creation. Presentations might use performance as an organizing framework for considering a wide range of gendered practices and relationships, including but not limited to: museums and memorials; landscapes and the built environment; food and consumption; technology and digital media; nationalism, totalitarianism, repression, and revolution; theatre and creative practices, literary production, and censorship.

Politics and Popular Culture
The relationship between politics and popular culture is key to understanding women, gender, and sexualities across historical eras. We invite submissions that critically engage the history of popular culture in any time period and locale. Popular culture history has emerged as a vibrant field that yields new ways to study the intersections of race, gender, class, sexuality, and (dis)ability. Submitters can take up a number of issues ranging from how and why popular culture is central to the quotidian experiences of people around the globe to its role in the shifting paradigms of feminism, body politics, critical race theory, trans studies, imperialism, transnational studies, and reproductive justice. By centering on forms of popular cultural expression, including film, music, sports, dance, fashion, print media, social media, this track seeks to bring a diverse group of scholars, cultural producers, and practitioners into conversation with one another.

Work Cultures/Work Realities: The Academy and Beyond
This track seeks individual papers, panels, or roundtable sessions on issues or themes relevant to the work we (broadly defined) do. We hope to generate informed conversation about pedagogy, but also working conditions—for those working in any capacity in higher educational institutions as well as those in other settings. Given the service burdens in the academy that fall particularly heavily on women and people of color, how do we see that such contributions are valued? Do we need to redefine teaching and service as intellectual endeavors? Is it necessary to change dominant understandings of scholarship? How would we set about doing these tasks? These issues are particularly timely given attacks on university employees and the questions raised by politicians, parents, and students about the "value" or "utility" of history? They are also important in light of those scholars, including public historians, public intellectuals, and digital humanists whose contributions often cannot be measured by "traditional" categories. Other difficult conversations are to be had on how historians in various settings (schools, universities, non-profits, for-hire) can work together? We also seek to address how scholarship and work are married beyond the academy. Can one still be a historian and work, for example, in non-academic settings. What does it mean to be an Alt-Ac, public historian or history informed activist in 2017?

A propos Katie Jarvis
Assistant Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame. Je suis maître de conférences en histoire à l'University of Notre Dame. Mes recherches portent sur des marchandes parisiennes qui s'appellent les Dames des Halles pendant la Révolution française. En les utilisant comme un prisme, je demande comment les révolutionnaires ont négocié la double croissance des aspirations démocratiques et le capitalisme à travers leur métier quotidien. J'examine la façon dont les Dames ont inventé une notion de citoyenneté naissante qui a eu le travail, plutôt que le sexe, comme la base. En même temps, j'analyse comment les révolutionnaires ont débattu le rôle politique des classes populaires par les marchandes en détail. La nation française - et une grande partie de l'Europe – s'accapareraient dans ces problèmes pour des décennies.	Voir tous les articles de Katie Jarvis →

I originally shared this photo & quote on my Instagram last night after visiting Cincinnati to help assist at a wedding. When I woke up, I saw that one of my brides mentioned that the man who painted this is artist John A. Ruthven… and I met him at her wedding! He was thrilled to host the wedding at his beautiful farm. He was a generous host who kept checking on the girls to make sure they had everything they needed while they prepared for the ceremony. They told me that he is a painter who also lives in Cincinnati, but I had no idea he was quite possibly working on this breathtaking painting that I saw last night. I wouldn't have known this was his work unless I shared this iPhone image.
Over much needed coffee this morning, I've been speculating about the connections we make through the state & world. Sometimes it is overwhelming to keep up with the fast pace of the online community, but I'm so grateful for the people I've met. I treasure that we can keep in touch through images. It has brightened my day to discover the rest of the story behind a moment that inspired me.
After doing a little research, I saw that the acrylic painting this mural is based off of is titled MARTHA, the Last Passenger Pigeon. It is an ode to the manner that they flew in & the tragedy that the last one died at the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. It is You can check out his website to see a video of the construction of the mural in a time lapse!

Shuttle Discovery launch marks the beginning of the end
The Space Shuttle program launched Discovery Mission 131, one of 4 remaining flights of the Shuttle Program. Should it be saved?
By Doug Hanchard for ZDNet Government | April 5, 2010 -- 07:30 GMT (00:30 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
This morning's launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery marks the second to last scheduled launch of the Shuttle, one of four remaining launches prior to the Shuttle's retirement. It costs roughly $500 million for each launch. Each Orbiter cost $1.7 billion not including spare parts. The program is now in 38 years old from the time President Nixon initiated a spacecraft that could be reused in 1972. The first shuttle Enterprise signaled a new era in space exploration. By the time Columbia launched in 1981, questions were already being raised: What's the Shuttle's mission?
The Shuttle has never left earth's orbit, its role simplified to be a space tow truck to broken satellites and cargo container delivery mechanism to the International Space Station. Since the Shuttle program began, each White House Administration's agenda never prioritized or put into place long term NASA mandates and became occupied with more pressing issues; thus, NASA has wandered aimlessly with far too many internal agendas of its own and not enough focus on a select few. NASA throughout the entire space shuttle program has been rather boring to cover unless disaster struck which it did twice with the loss of Challenger and Columbia in 1986 and 2003 respectively. Even the 'simple' missions with unmanned missions to Mars have been ridiculed with the famous math errors engineers mixing metric and imperial measurement systems.
There's been talk of extending the Space Shuttle program. Politicians in Florida don't care about the optics of preserving assets in their backyard. So there's no surprise that Florida Senator Bill Nelson included funding to extend the Shuttle's mission in the Senate Budget Committee legislation in early 2009. Prior to that attempt H.R. 4837 had provisions submitted by Congressman Dave Weldon of Florida's 15th district to extend funding and a proposal that no foreign space ships may exclusively resupply ISS . That was in 2008 and has never made it past committee review. Other attempts to restart funding have come and gone. With the current economic crisis, NASA has a momentum problem. Even the proposed Constellation program is mired in controversy and was not included in the 2010 or 2011 budget.
The last remaining shuttle missions are:
Date: May 14 + Mission: STS-132 Launch Vehicle: Space Shuttle Atlantis Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center - Launch Pad 39A Launch Time: 2:28 p.m. EDT Description: Space shuttle Atlantis mission will carry an integrated cargo carrier to deliver maintenance and assembly hardware, including spare parts for space station systems. In addition, the second in a series of new pressurized components for Russia, a Mini Research Module, will be permanently attached to the bottom port of the Zarya module.
Date: July 29 + Mission: STS-134 Launch Vehicle: Space Shuttle Endeavour Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center - Launch Pad 39A Launch Time: 7:51 a.m. EDT STS-134 Description: Space shuttle Endeavour will deliver an EXPRESS Logistics Carrier-3 (ELC-3) and an Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) to the International Space Station.
Date: Sept. 16 + Mission: STS-133 Launch Vehicle: Space Shuttle Discovery Launch Site: Kennedy Space Center - Launch Pad 39A Launch Time: 11:57 a.m. EDT STS-133 Description: Space shuttle Discovery will deliver the Express Logistics Carrier 4 (ELC4), a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MLPM) and critical spare components to the International Space Station.

Q: Lost my md5 and salt encryption on my user password I have recently been making a user admin site with one single login to edit/change aspects of the site. I tried to make a change password page so the user is obviously able to change password if desired, i was messing around with this and have completely messed up my md5 and salt encryption to the point i wasn't able to log in anymore.
In my database in the password row i had the long character hex number displayed (which corresponded to the password i was putting into the site to log in, the md5 function changed this) with this, i deleted the longer password from the database (as it was no longer working) and put back in my actual password... thus i was able to log in again, but have no security on my password... i have no idea how to get the security back?
My encrypt page still stands but is now useless...
<?php

    function encrypt($password){
        $salt1="egf";
        $salt2="7yh";
        $password = md5($salt1 . $password . $salt2);
        return $password;
    }

?>

Please help, any advice would be appreciated! Thank you

A: Let's look at your code piecewise:
function encrypt($password){ // You're not encrypting here at all!
    $salt1="egf"; // Not a salt
    $salt2="7yh"; // Not a salt
    $password = md5($salt1 . $password . $salt2); // MD5 is insecure
    return $password; // Why set to variable then return?
}

It seems like you're failing to understand some fundamental cryptography concepts.

*

*Encrypting is a two-way process; you don't encrypt passwords, you hash them with a password hashing function (e.g. scrypt, bcrypt, PBKDF2-SHA256).

*MD5 is a terrible choice; it's a general purpose cryptographic hash function not meant for passwords.

*Salts must be unique per user. Having a static prefix and suffix is more akin to a pepper, which is controversial among security experts and many (myself included) view peppers as security through obscurity.

Solution: Use password_hash() and password_verify(). It was designed by experts for this exact use case.
If you're on an older version of PHP than 5.5.0, please upgrade. If that's out of your hands, complain to your hosting provider and then use password_compat.
Don't roll your own password storage scheme.

Memorial of Saints Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops and Doctors of the Church
1 Jn 2:22-28
Who is the liar?
Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.
Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist.
Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father,
but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you.
If what you heard from the beginning remains in you,
then you will remain in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life.
I write you these things about those who would deceive you.
As for you,
the anointing that you received from him remains in you,
so that you do not need anyone to teach you.
But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false;
just as it taught you, remain in him.
And now, children, remain in him,
so that when he appears we may have confidence
and not be put to shame by him at his coming.
Ps 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4
R. (3cd) All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
Heb 1:1-2
In times, past, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets:
in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son.
Jn 1:19-28
This is the testimony of John.
When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him
to ask him, "Who are you?"
He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted,
"I am not the Christ."
So they asked him,
"What are you then? Are you Elijah?"
And he said, "I am not."
"Are you the Prophet?"
He answered, "No."
So they said to him,
"Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?
What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I am the voice of one crying out in the desert,
'Make straight the way of the Lord,'
as Isaiah the prophet said."
Some Pharisees were also sent.
They asked him,
"Why then do you baptize
if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?"
John answered them,
"I baptize with water;
but there is one among you whom you do not recognize,
the one who is coming after me,
whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie."
This happened in Bethany across the Jordan,
where John was baptizing.

As it is currently, many UK's colleges and universities are having tough times with an alarming rate of DDoS threat. The majority of this threat is believed to have been caused by students.
Infosecurity lately received figures from Jisc which is a non-profit organization that operates the UK's Janet network. This network is utilized by research and educational institutions in the UK.
DDoS attacks are designed to disrupt or bring down a network. If connectivity to the network is lost for any length of time, it can be catastrophic for any organization, both financially and reputationally… Students might, through no fault of their own, miss the deadline for handing in assignments online, and teaching would resort to 'chalk and talk.' Fortunately, attacks that cause this much damage are rare, and we encourage our members to be robust in their approach to cybersecurity.
Just last week, the renowned University of Edinburg added to the statistics of institutions that have fallen victim of the DDoS attack. This became known after it could not keep its main website running for days.
According to John Chapman who the security head of Jisc, the majority of these attacks may not be unconnected with students' nefarious activities and not likely those of cybercriminal groups. Corroborating this stance, Chapman recalled that a four-day attack had once been traced to one hall of residence in the institution.
Most of the attacks are said to come during hours that work is intense and less of such is recorded when the school is on break. Of course, the aim of these attackers is to strike hard when the damage would be much. And this is during working hours. So, Chapman while granting an interview to the BBC said that the staffs and students may not be unaware of the DDoS attacks recently ravaging in UK's educational institutions.
Latest security survey carried out in the UK has revealed that its educational institution admits that accidental breaches and lack of awareness are its most-feared cybersecurity risks. The next in line is ransomware or malware.
Followed by these is social engineering and phishing while external attacks with DDoS are ranked fifth. To this extent, many believe that it is high time UK institutions found a lasting solution to its cybersecurity problems.

Pineapple Express is a Sativa dominant strain with a 60:40 sativa/indica ratio. The strain is quite popular and has achieved recognition thanks to the stoner film of the same name. However, you have to keep in mind that the strain is not as intense as the movie has made it out to be. But Pineapple Express still manages to offer a mild and nice body-numbing buzz, which is something to look forward to. The strain is offered in the form of well-weighed nuggets that look like Styrofoam popcorn. It does not taste sweet, but it does smell funky with its citrus overtones. The taste is quite extraordinary with a hint of pineapple while you inhale. Pineapple Express is chosen to treat a lot of medical problems including anxiety and stress. However, it is even more effective at curing the symptoms of chronic depression at the same time. If you are suffering from mild pains and aches, you should look no further. After a smoke, you will realize Pineapple Express is calming and stimulating at the same time. Not only will it heighten all your senses but you will feel energized all the while observing an increase in focus, awareness and creativity.


UPS has declared open defiance of child-labor laws; allowing four-year-old Carson Kight to deliver packages in a pint-size brown box truck. The kid was elated, and you can't watch his "Day As A Delivery Driver" without cracking a smile.
Carson's mom Karen told KRDO that they'd been getting special formula delivered via UPS since the kid's birth because he can't drink anything with "milk protein in it." Apparently Carson "loved trucks in general" and was always fired up to see the UPS box rig.
The family had built a relationship with the route's driver, "Mr. Ernie," who surprised Carson with a kid-sized delivery truck of his own and a few packages to bring to the neighbors.
The event is tied in with UPS's "Wish Delivered" campaign which basically makes cute moments like this happen for kids. UPS donates $1 up to $100,000 to The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, The Salvation Army or Toys for Tots Literacy Program for every "wish suggestion" submitted on social media with the tag #WishesDelievered.
Hat tip to Bret and Nosrat!

Opinion: Aaron Rodgers has COVID. He lied about being vaccinated, and being a team player
Nancy Armour, USA TODAY
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}}, {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}} {{dayPeriod}}
At least Kirk Cousins, Cole Beasley and the NFL's other anti-science gurus had the decency to be transparent.
Aaron Rodgers must have thought he was so clever, saying he was "immunized" when asked, directly, if he'd been vaccinated against COVID-19. But the Green Bay Packers quarterback isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is, his "immunized" comment and the "research" he did revealed to be nothing more than smokescreen and snake oil with Wednesday's announcement that he has tested positive for COVID and reporting that he is not vaccinated.
Worse, the guy who loves to preach about the brotherhood of the locker room and the greater responsibility Packers players in particular have to the team they represent, has been exposed as a fraud.
"The G that's on our helmet and on our jersey travels with you," Rodgers said Thursday night, recounting what he'd told his teammates as they headed to their mini-bye after upsetting the Arizona Cardinals.
"Represent the team the right way."
How is lying – let's call what Rodgers did for what it is – about being vaccinated against a disease that has killed more than 5 million people worldwide, almost 750,000 in the United States alone, representing the team the right way? How is exposing friends and teammates to COVID, as he might have done over the weekend, showing care for the well-being of those around him?
And how is not being available for what is arguably one of Green Bay's biggest games this season, at Kansas City on Sunday, when the Packers were already short-handed, being the team leader that Rodgers supposedly prides himself on being?
Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers walks off the field after an NFL football game against the Washington Football Team Sunday, Oct. 24, 2021, in Green Bay, Wis. The Packers won 24-10. (AP Photo/Aaron Gash)
When Rodgers was asked Aug. 26 about being vaccinated, he called it a "personal decision." No. A personal decision is going ahead and having that fourth piece of pizza. Or spending money you really don't have. Or not cutting your hair for a year to pull off a desired Halloween costume.
When your "personal decision" has ramifications for those around you, however, it ceases to be personal. And, make no mistake, Rodgers' decision to not get vaccinated, and then to lie about it, has ramifications for pretty much everyone around him.
There is Sunday's game, of course, when Jordan Love will get his first NFL start in one of the league's loudest stadiums. The NFL said in a statement Wednesday that it is on individual teams to enforce COVID protocols at their facilities, and that it would be "reviewing the matter" with the Packers.
Running back Aaron Jones and defensive tackle Kenny Clark were put in the position Wednesday of having to defend Rodgers. The majority of questions coach Matt LaFleur got were about Rodgers and whether the Packers have been skirting COVID protocols.
"That's a great question for Aaron. I'm not going to comment on it," LaFleur said when asked if he thought Rodgers had misrepresented his vaccination status.
Yet Rodgers was strangely silent, forcing his coach and teammates to answer for him. That's not leadership, it's cowardice.
Rodgers was asked, directly, in August if he was vaccinated. In a follow-up question, he was asked if wanting to set an example for his teammates or fears of not being available had played a role in his decision.
Rodgers had the chance to correct the assumption that he'd been vaccinated, and he didn't.
"It wasn't about that at all," he said at the time. "I like to learn about everything that I am doing and there was a lot of research that even went into that."
From where, a cereal box?
If Rodgers truly believes in, say, a homeopathic remedy, then own that. Explain why he believes it's preferable to one of the three vaccines recognized by the NFL and NFL Players Association. Enlighten us all as to what he trusts more than the advice of the world's most renowned scientific experts and medical professionals, who say vaccination provides the best defense against COVID-19.
Or maybe Rodgers, who has built a Hall of Fame career out of criticism of him, simply didn't want to take the heat. He knew he'd be criticized like Cousins, Beasley and other players who have resisted vaccines, particularly those who've spouted nonsense in their defense, and he didn't want to deal with it. Especially after an ugly off-season when he was so unhappy with the Packers front office that he contemplated retirement.
So he lied, thinking he could evade scrutiny as he does so many linebackers and defensive ends.
But this isn't a game.
Rodgers' teammates might have known he wasn't vaccinated, but others who interacted with him didn't. Thought just the opposite, in fact, because of what Rodgers said in August and how he's behaved since then.
Leaving that assumption uncorrected was both irresponsible and selfish. He put himself and others at risk, and deserves every bit of the criticism he once tried to avoid.

Ana Blandiana (Otilia Valeria Rusan, născută Coman; ) este o scriitoare (autoare a 26 de cărți publicate în română și a 60 de volume apărute în 26 de limbi) și luptătoare pentru libertate civică din România.

În luna mai 1990 a reînființat Centrul PEN din România, pe care l-a condus până în 2004. În noiembrie 1990 s-a numărat printre fondatorii Alianței Civice (președinte între 1991-2002). În ianuarie 1993 a fost inițiatoare, împreună cu Romulus Rusan, a Memorialului Sighet, iar în aprilie 1995, a Academiei Civice, pe care le conduce de la începuturi până în prezent.

Este membru corespondent al Academiei Române, din 2016.

Originea și studiile
Otilia Coman s-a născut la Timișoara, ca fiică a preotului ortodox Gheorghe Coman, originar din Murani, Timiș și a soției sale Otilia, fostă Diacu, de profesie contabil. După retrocedarea Ardealului de Nord în 1944, familia Coman s-a mutat la Oradea, unde tatăl poetei a slujit ca preot la Biserica cu Lună, catedrala ortodoxă din Oradea. După instaurarea regimului comunist în România, preotul Gheorghe Coman a fost arestat ca "dușman al poporului". Ca fiică a unui deținut politic, a trebuit să aștepte patru ani până când autoritățile comuniste i-au permis înscrierea la Facultatea de Filologie din Cluj.

Pentru a ocoli șicanele regimului, Otilia Coman și-a luat pseudonimul Ana Blandiana, după numele satului natal al mamei, Blandiana, Alba.

Tatăl poetei a murit într-un accident casnic în anul 1964, suferind arsuri la scurt timp după eliberarea din detenția politică.

După absolvirea facultății, Ana Blandiana a debutat în revista Tribuna din Cluj.

Interdicții de publicare
Înainte de  Revoluția din 1989, i s-a luat în trei rânduri dreptul de a publica (1959-1964, 1985, 1988-1989), iar în ultimii doi ani numele ei a fost interzis și cărțile i-au fost scoase și din biblioteci. Înainte de a deveni poetă a lucrat pe un șantier de construcții, deoarece a fost persecutată de regimul comunist, tatăl ei fiind declarat chiabur. Cenzura nu a admis faptul că ea a publicat o carte de poezii despre motanul Arpagic, interpretat de cititori drept o aluzie la Nicolae Ceaușescu. Poeziile ei interzise au fost difuzate în mii de exemplare, scrise de mână de cititori (singurul samizdat românesc) și au fost traduse în numeroase limbi, ca dovadă a cenzurii din România. Importanta revistă londoneză Index of Censorship i-a dedicat un număr special.

 În 1990, Ana Blandiana reînființează PEN Clubul Roman al cărei președinte devine. Este unul dintre inițiatorii Alianței Civice pe care o conduce intre 1991 și 2001. Fondator și președinte al Academiei Civice, care realizează, sub egida Consiliului Europei, Memorialul Victimelor Comunismului și al Rezistenței de la Sighet. Membră a Academiei Europene de Poezie, a Academiei de Poezie "Stéphane Mallarmé" și a Academiei Mondiale de Poezie (UNESCO).

Referințe critice
Receptarea critică a operei Anei Blandiana a fost extrem de bogată, la fel de bogată ca și opera.

Primele poeme au fost centrate pe bucuria de a descoperi lumea, structura discursivă a încorporat senzații fruste, autentice, un amestec de candoare copilărească și luciditate matură a conștiinței.

Criticul Marian Popa subliniază că «situația dilematică este creată prin raportarea normelor biologice la cele etic-sociale»; «conștiința trupului păcătos și precar ajunge însă cu timpul sursa unei voluptăți reci, sarcastice, revendicând ultragiul», «mijloc de exteriorizare a vitalismului intens».

O interesantă conjugare lirică a temei somnului în poezia Anei Blandiana este observată de criticul literar Eugen Simion: «somnul nu este cu necesitate o prefigurare a morții; e întoarcerea pentru o clipă la ritmul pur al materiei, o zonă de liniște și de plenitudine a pasiunii degajate de forța devastatoare a simțurilor; iubirea își regăsește în acest spațiu chipu-i melancolic, suav, spiritualizat» (SSra, I, 336): Adorm, adormi, / Cum stăm cu ochii-nchiși / Părem întinși alături / Doi tineri morți egali./ (...) / Nu te speria, / Pletele noastre vecine / Răsfirate în iarbă / Au început să prindă rădăcini, / În curând frunzele ne vor înveli / În auriul omăt. / Niciodată n-am semănat mai mult, / Aripile ți s-au afundat în țărână / Și nu se mai văd. («Adorm, adormi»).

Alexandru Piru, în «Istoria literaturii române de la început până azi» (1981), apreciază că «Poeta are o filozofie. În tentativa sa de a fi, omul se izbește implacabil de un termen final, ceea ce constituie, cum se intitulează cel de-al doilea volum, Călcâiul său vulnerabil (1966). Salvarea se află în aspirația spre puritate, condiție etică, dar și în sublimarea vieții în artă, condiție estetică. Altfel spus, nemurirea se obține prin identificarea cu universul, nu prin imitarea naturii, arta e un fel de transsubstanțiere, o mutație ontologică (A treia taină, 1969). Mai departe poeta caută hotarul dintre bine și rău, dintre înnorat și senin, dintre lumină și noapte, exterior și interior, paradis și infern. Moartea e văzută ca un rit nupțial...» (PIL, 502 sq.).

Nicolae Manolescu reține mai ales: "proza de ficțiune, foarte personală, conține pagini antologice".

Opera
De-a lungul anilor, poeta a întreprins — ca invitată a unor universități, academii, organizații culturale — mai multe călătorii de documentare și studiu în diverse țări europene și a participat la congrese și festivaluri de poezie. În afara volumelor menționate, i-au mai apărut grupaje de poeme în reviste și antologii din Anglia, S.U.A., Italia, Spania, Franța, Belgia, Germania, Austria, Olanda, Finlanda, Polonia, Ungaria, Bulgaria, Cehoslovacia, Brazilia, Cuba, Turcia, Siria, Grecia, China, Japonia, Israel, Albania.

După 1989, acestor traduceri li se adaugă eseurile literare și articolele de analiză politică apărute în marile ziare germane sub semnătura Anei Blandiana, ca și nenumărate conferințe, lecturi publice, interviuri, intervenții la colocvii, simpozioane și mese rotunde în principalele țări europene.

Gay minorities are more vulnerable to HIV, experts say
Poll shows support for Boy Scouts to drop ban on out gay members
Mental stress from poverty and discrimination can contribute to HIV among gay men, a new study reveals.
The findings, published in the journal AIDS and Behavior, revealed a relationship between mental trauma, drug abuse and risky sexual behavior.
'The more burden these men face for being persons of color, economically disadvantaged, homosexual, foreign born, and simply discriminated against, impact their mental health,' said director of the study Perry Halkitis.
'Our additional analysis found that foreign-born men of lower socioeconomic status demonstrate a greater likelihood of unprotected sex.
The study is part of Project-18, a larger research effort that follows an ethnically and economically diverse group of 600 HIV negative young gay men in New York City. The participants are self-identified men who have sex with men and are monitored over the course of three years.
'Through this study, what we've done is shown that these health problems – mental health burdens and risky behavior — are highly related when it comes to this population of gay men and their contraction of HIV', added Hlkitis, who is also the director of the Center of Health, Identity, Behavior and Prevention Studies at NYU Steinhardt.
According to the study: 'Gay and bisexual men represent only 2% of the population, yet these and other men who have sex with men account for more than 50% of all HIV infections and new infections in the US'.
The study suggests that HIV prevention and care must be delivered 'holistically' such that sexual risk behaviors are addressed in relation to the mental health of the individual.
