Technology TED Talks
The future of facial recognition: 7 fascinating facts
October 17, 2013 at 3:12 pm EDT
What's on the screen in this photo? All the information that can be gleaned just from an image of someone's face. Alessandro Acquisti speaks at TEDGlobal 2013. Photo: James Duncan Davidson
Alessandro Acquisti thinks we are about to have an Adam and Eve moment, where all of a sudden we realize that we aren't wearing any clothes. Up until now, we have — for the most part — willingly offered up our personal information online without thinking too much about it. Alessandro Acquisti: What will a future without secrets look like? But as Acquisti puts it in today's talk, "any personal information can become sensitive information."
To illustrate what he means, he focuses our attention on facial recognition software and a study he conducted in 2010, when about 2.5 billion photos were uploaded to Facebook in a single month, many of them tagged. For the study, Acquisti and his fellow researchers snapped photos of students on a college campus and found that more than 30% of them were identifiable by off-the-shelf facial recognition software. From there, using data mining algorithms, the researchers were also able to identify the first five digits of many of these students' Social Security numbers.
To hear about Acquisti's latest research — which examines how employers judge the kind of information they find about potential employees online (hint: it's not good) — watch this talk. Then below, take a closer look at the latest developments in facial recognition to see where this technology is headed.
Identifiable online daters. An important part of online dating is, of course, anonymity. You make up a screen name because you want an element of surprise when you meet someone — and because you don't want creepers showing up at your office uninvited. In 2010, Acquisti published the study, "Privacy in the Age of Augmented Reality." He and his fellow researchers analyzed 6,000 online profiles on a dating site in the same US city. Using four cloud computing cores and the facial recognition software PittPatt, they were able to identify 1 in 10 of these anonymous daters. And remember, this technology has improved three-fold since then.
Better tools for law enforcement. After the Boston Marathon bombing, the Boston police commissioner said that facial recognition software had not helped them identify Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, despite the fact that the two were in public records databases—and photographed at the scene. Only, those images were taken from far away, the brothers were wearing sunglasses and caps, and many shots of them were in profile — all things that make facial recognition difficult. Experts say that technology can overcome these difficulties. In an interview with Salon.com, Acquisti said that the increasing resolution of photos will help (hello, gigapixel!), as will the improved computational capabilities of computers and the ever-expanding mountain of data available from social networks. In a fascinating article via Yahoo, Paul Schuepp of the company Animetrics shares a more specific advance: software that turns 2D images into a simulated 3D model of a person's face. In a single second, it can turn an unidentifiable partial snapshot into a very identifiable headshot. He claims the software can boost identification rates from 35 percent to 85 percent.
Full body recognition? Allyson Rice of the University of Texas at Dallas has an idea for how facial recognition software could become even more accurate for law enforcement purposes — by becoming body recognition software. In a study published this month in Psychological Science, Rice and her fellow researchers asked college students to discern whether two photos — which had stumped facial recognition software — were indeed of the same person. They used eye-tracking equipment to discern how the participants were making the call. In the end, they found that students were far more accurate in their answers when the face and body of the subject was shown. And while participants reported judging based on facial features, their eyes were spending more time examining body build, stance, and other body features. "Psychologists and computer scientists have concentrated almost exclusively on the role of the face in person recognition," Rice tells The Telegraph. "But our results show that the body can also provide important and useful identity information for person recognition."
A face scan for your phone. "Face Unlock" is a feature that allows you to unlock Android smartphones using your "faceprint," i.e. a map of the unique structure of your face. This is just the beginning of face-as-security measure. In June, according to eWeek.com, Google patented a technology that would turn goofy facial expressions — a wink, a scrunched nose, a smile, a stuck-out tongue — into a code to unlock devices. The hope: that this would be harder to spoof than a faceprint. Turns out, apps such as FastAccess Anywhere, which uses your face as a password, can reportedly be fooled with a simple photo, says USA Today.
Facial recognition as advertising. Could facial recognition technology be used to influence what we buy? Very likely. In 2012, an interactive ad for Choice for Girls was launched at bus stops in London. These billboards were able to scan passersby, judge their gender and show them appropriate content. Girls and women got a video, while boys and men got statistics on a subject. This ad was for a good cause, but this technology will no doubt expand — and could allow corporations and organizations to tap into our personal lives in unpredictable ways. Personalized ads as we walk down the street, a la the classic scene in Minority Report, yes. But as Acquisti notes in his talk, there's a potentially more subtle application of this technology too: ads that can identify us and our two favorite friends on Facebook. From there, it's a snap to create a composite image of a person who'll star in an ad targeted just to us. For more in what's coming in the facial recognition advertising realm, check out Leslie Stahl's 60 Minutes segment "A Face in the Crowd: Say goodbye to anonymity." Among other fascinating tidbits, it introduces us to FaceDeals — which notes when you've walked into an establishment, mines your Facebook likes and text messages a deal created just for you.
Shattered Glass. As Acquisti notes in his talk, the fact that someone's face can be used to find out private information is especially disconcerting given Google Glass' emergence on the scene. In June, US lawmakers questioned Google about the privacy implications of the device and, in response, Google stressed that they "won't be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time." But of course, it's not completely up to them. In July, Stephen Balaban announced to NPR and the world that he had hacked Glass in order to give it facial recognition powers. "Essentially what I am building is an alternative operating system that runs on Glass but is not controlled by Google," he said. On a similar note, one Michael DiGiovanni created a program called Winky for Glass that lets the wearer take a photo with a wink, rather than using the voice command.
Your face as currency. In July, a Finnish company called Uniqul released a video of a project in the works, a pay-by-face authentication system. The idea? At a store, rather than paying with cash or a credit card, you give a "meaningful nod" to a scanner to make a purchase. A Huffington Post article describes this new tech, and also gives a peak at the Millennial ATM, which uses facial recognition as its primary security method.
Facial recognition is evolving rapidly. What here sounds cool and useful to you, and what sounds like a trip to Scarytown? For me, I may well be investing in these custom t-shirts, which claim to trip up facial recognition.

In this post, we look at the wisdom of one of the worlds most revered musicians, Bob Marley. As always, I hope this helps. Feel free to share this with your family, friends and colleagues. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, OM was a Jamaican reggae singer, song writer, musician, and guitarist who achieved international fame and acclaim. You can't judge an album by a single song; it's like judging a book by only reading a single chapter. It's not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. Be strong, believe in freedom and in God, love yourself, understand your sexuality, have a sense of humor, masturbate, don't judge people by their religion, color or sexual habits, love life and your family. I can and do aspire to be greater than the sum total of my experiences, but I accept my limitations.
When I was growing up, Brandy was TV star, reality star, a pop star, a Cover girl, Grammy winner, had her own Brandy doll, and was the first African American to play Disney princess Cinderella. God knows I gave my best in baseball at all times and no man on earth can truthfully judge me otherwise.
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character. People are so quick to judge and make decisions for themselves about situations they know absolutely nothing about. It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one. The NSA is forbidden to 'target' American citizens, green-card holders or companies for surveillance without an individual warrant from a judge. You definitely want your kids to understand their heritage, but I don't want my kids to just focus on being black.
In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same.
Like Andy Warhol and unlike God Almighty, Larry King does not presume to judge; all celebrities are equal in his eyes, saints and sinners alike sharing the same 'Love Boat' voyage into the dark beyond, a former sitcom star as deserving of pious send-off as Princess Diana. I think you can judge from somebody's actions a kind of a stability and sense of purpose perhaps created by strong religious roots. If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.
I don't believe in guilt; I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person. I don't judge people by their accent, or how they word things, or how grammatically correct their speech is. I was in school - I was a good learner; if I wanted to get something done, I could get it done. Basketball talent is basketball talent, no matter if it comes from the suburbs or the city.
I don't mind being identified as any character as long as I'm doing a good job as an actor.
To be a utilitarian means that you judge actions as right or wrong in accordance with whether they have good consequences. I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. To me, wearing glasses is no pleasure, but once I conceded that I simply couldn't properly judge distance without them, I began to experiment.
I'm starting to judge success by the time I have for myself, the time I spend with family and friends. Just as we descend into our consciences to judge of actions which our minds can not weigh, can we not also search in ourselves for the feeling which gives birth to forms of thought, always vague and cloudy?
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started. I don't know why men are so fascinated with television and I think it has something to do with - if I may judge from my own father, who used to sit and stare at the TV while my mother was speaking to him - I think that's a man's way of tuning out. After the French Revolution, it was not the treason of the king that was in question; it was the existence of the king. To an honest judge, the alleged marriage between religion and science is a shallow, empty, spin-doctored sham.
Don't ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don't mean they're not an important person. People are going to wonder why you're trying to be different; it's just a natural instinct. Deprived of the opportunity to judge one another by the cars we drive, New Yorkers, thrown together daily on mass transit, form silent opinions based on our choices of subway reading.
No matter what name we give it or how we judge it, a candidate's character is central to political reporting because it is central to a citizen's decision in voting.
To make sense of a world in which rapid change and globalisation create genuine insecurity, we need benchmarks by which we can judge our actions and their long-term impact. When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.
At the end of my trial, I was rather hoping the judge would send me to Australia for the rest of my life.
I call upon my God to judge me, he knows that I love my friends and above all others my wife and children, the, oppinion of the world to contrary notwithstanding.
The thing is, if you're in this world, you have to do things for yourself, not for others, because everyone will judge you for anything.
The one thing I've always said: Let your family and close friends be the judge of who you are as a person.
You can have many different selection systems, but the bottom line has to be a system that, once the judge takes office that judge will feel that he or she is to decide the case without reference to the popular thing or the popular will of the moment. God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple. I have to confess that I have so rarely experienced triumph that I cannot claim to know it well enough to judge, but it seems to be at best a momentary joy followed instantly by sadness, and, then, of necessity, by wariness.
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. I've never met or spoken to David Lee Roth, yet it's rather ironic that even he's saying Eddie's lying about things. A fair trial is one in which the rules of evidence are honored, the accused has competent counsel, and the judge enforces the proper courtroom procedures - a trial in which every assumption can be challenged.
Reaching a conclusion has to start with what the parties are arguing, but examining in all situations carefully the facts as they prove them or not prove them, the record as they create it, and then making a decision that is limited to what the law says on the facts before the judge.
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. What my job is, is to get on with getting the process of democratic politics, back on the road, entrenching the peace settlement, and I ask you to judge me on my record. I don't judge people by their sexual orientation or the color of their skin, so I find it really hard to identify someone by saying that they're a gay person or a black person or a Jewish person. If someone who is poor says, 'I may not have much money, but for me, what's really important is to have a good television so my family can enjoy and watch,' we should be a little careful and recognize that just like we all have individual liberty to make the choices we want, that we not judge too much on that.
You have to find the peace and patience within yourself to be a model and an example to others and not judge. When I have kids, when I have a family and nieces and nephews, I'm gonna teach them to love more and be kinder and to not judge someone by the colour of their skin or any other thing. Any government, that is its own judge of, and determines authoritatively for the people, what are its own powers over the people, is an absolute government of course.
The world is apt to judge of everything by the success; and whoever has ill fortune will hardly be allowed a good name.
It's very important in a leadership role not to place your ego at the foreground and not to judge everything in relationship to how your ego is fed.
Leaders get out in front and stay there by raising the standards by which they judge themselves - and by which they are willing to be judged. Falling little wind, it was five before I could form my line, or distinguish any of the enemy's motions; and could not judge at all of their force, more than by numbers, which were seventeen, and thirteen appeared large.
Nobody outside of a baby carriage or a judge's chamber believes in an unprejudiced point of view. The leader must aim high, see big, judge widely, thus setting himself apart form the ordinary people who debate in narrow confines. A lot of the time, I write a lot of angry stuff, but then I don't want to be a finger-pointer - I'd rather be a cheerleader than a judge.
When I first came to Hollywood, the blacklist was just starting, and they were having hearings in Washington.
That said, I can't emphasise enough - and I hope you print this - that I absolutely don't judge anybody at all who has an abortion, nor do I think they are murderers, nor do I think they are baby killers. Of course, there will always be, you know, conservative classical people who will judge you, but you know, who cares about them? For me, I grew up in a house doing charity work for homeless people, and my parents had a lot of homeless friends. I am very outspoken, obviously, and I should say that I can't judge anyone for doing anything. The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned.
But for their right to judge of the law, and the justice of the law, juries would be no protection to an accused person, even as to matters of fact; for, if the government can dictate to a jury any law whatever, in a criminal case, it can certainly dictate to them the laws of evidence. I heard that you did not have a judge to interview this month in the Bulletin, so I thought I'd help out. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge regardless of their background or life experiences. If you don't have any ties to the music industry, you just love 'American Idol,' you can sit there and do exactly what you do in your living room, which is stare at them and judge them. If you've ever been to a poetry slam, you know that the highest scoring emotion is self-righteous indignation: how dare you judge me. We judge people in areas where we're vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we're doing.
You have discovered so much kindness and good will to those you thought were oppressed, and had no helper, that I am sure you will not despise what I have wrote, if you judge it will be of any service to them. Human nature is so constituted, that all see and judge better in the affairs of other men than in their own. I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it's not my place to judge.
The judge is not the knight-errant, roaming at will in pursuit of his own ideal of beauty or of goodness. The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.
When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.
During my time as a judge, as a justice, and as attorney general, I've had one overarching goal, and that is a strict interpretation and application of the laws and the Constitution.
Researchers who examined the voting records of wine judges found that 90 percent of the time they give inconsistent ratings to a particular wine when they judge it on multiple occasions. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done. You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea. I'm proudest of the fact that I fell in step with an audience taste level that I knew how to judge and maybe deliver for, and consistently. I used to judge the quality of music by whether I could make a 90-minute cassette and not repeat any artists.
Sometimes laughing isn't the best judge of what's funny, 'cause I think there's a lot of things that are really funny that don't make you laugh, that don't make you physically, audibly make a noise, but is something that is much more powerful than that. Unless you are a born connoisseur of art, you will not be able to judge by yourself why certain art is superior to other art. I think we need to start with Philadelphia and make sure that we actually get some election reform in Philadelphia. Such a prostitution of judicial power can never occur again under the shadow of the British law, for no jury within the wide circle of the empire would submit to such an infraction of their privilege, even if a judge could be found daring enough to attempt it.
If bloggers are to improve our public discourse - helping busy and usually uninformed people make sense of the world - it is necessary to use some sort of standard with which to judge their reliability.
The Bible says, 'Judge not lest ye be judged.' Our lives are supposed to be hospitals, not courtrooms. So many Irish actors overplay that modesty because they're afraid people will judge them and say, 'The state of yer man, he thinks he's great,' or whatever. To hear both critics and defenders talk about the fitness of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, you'd think the most successful Supreme Court justices had been warm, collegial consensus-builders. The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and, however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true to fact. If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship. During this period at the Department of Education, my working relationship with Judge Thomas was positive.
You can't judge a character that you're playing, because then you're fighting against doing what the character's doing. If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.
I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. If the jury have no right to judge of the justice of a law of the government, they plainly can do nothing to protect the people against the oppressions of the government; for there are no oppressions which the government may not authorize by law.
It is a sad day for our country when the moral foundation of our law and the acknowledgment of God has to be hidden from public view to appease a federal judge. You have reckoned that history ought to judge the past and to instruct the contemporary world as to the future. An accurate knowledge of the past of a country is necessary for everyone who would understand its present, and who desires to judge of its future.
I just want people to know out there no matter what they've done, God doesn't judge us on how many sins.
There's an assault on human sexuality, as Judge Scalia said, they've taken sides in the culture war and on top of that if we have a democracy, the democratic processes should be that we can elect representatives who will share our point of view and vote those things into law. The three parts of the theory are analytical ability, the ability to analyze things to judge, to criticize.
Just as the best way to judge an adult is by his or her record collection, the best way to judge a pub is by the albums on its jukebox.
There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The world judge of men by their ability in their profession, and we judge of ourselves by the same test: for it is on that on which our success in life depends. Of course you know this difference as well as I do, only you failed to draw from it the conclusions for the tactics in Western Europe, at least as far as I am able to judge from your works. For me, ancestry is just one thing that connects us to people, and feeling connected to other people is generally a good thing, as long as one kind of connection does not have primacy over all the others.
One can criticize the Israeli government, but it is not fair to judge the people of Israel. Concepts of justice must have hands and feet to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and the lowest possible cost.
You try to work with the director and your fellow actors to get somewhere, but other people are the judge of whether you hit that note right.
It is intellectually dishonest to look backwards with all the facts and judge the decisions that were made with almost none of the facts, or the facts that existed hidden in the normal cloud of endless speculation of what might happen. Well, one of the problems of working on a story with a character that sacred in the religions of the world or in a picture about that person, is that you have to forget about that and play it as real as you can because you can't look at yourself and judge yourself.
Starting out in 1963 with the group The Wailers, he forged a distinctive songwriting and vocal style that would later resonate with audiences worldwide. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even - or rather, especially - when we'd prefer not to be. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. A smart lawyer can keep a killer out of jail, a smart accountant can keep a thief from paying taxes, a smart reporter could ruin your reputation- unfairly. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves. I willingly accept that we who judge must not deny the differences resulting from experience and heritage but attempt, as the Supreme Court suggests, continuously to judge when those opinions, sympathies and prejudices are appropriate.
I mean, there's a certain patience, a certain discipline, I think, that religion helps you achieve. I have done all kinds of roles - from an editor, judge, police officer, murderer to a corrupt businessman. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences. If I was to walk down the street in a kilt, then dudes would wonder why I'm doing that, they'd think I was different or gay.
Just by glimpsing the cover staring back at us, we can reach the pinnacle of carnal desire or the depths of hatred.
If you do, you'll mostly fall flat on your face, because it's impossible to judge what people want.
For example, if you want God's anointing to be on you for parenting, you need to be careful not to criticize other parents. Don't worry about being judged by others who don't know you, because your family and close friends know what you're all about, good and bad. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. That's a crucial age, although it's very hard to judge who is worth supporting and who is not. When it comes down to it, Jesus died on the cross so that we could learn to love others like we love ourselves, not judge them or persecute them. I don't care what the Supreme Court said 30 years ago or what some judge said 15 minutes ago.
It is by no means a rarity on the wonderful Judge Judy's show when both plaintiff and accused all but literally fill the screen.
I don't want to preach as if I'm in some position of righteousness, but I do want to speak my mind and scream at the clouds and shout out of the pit of hopelessness that I sometimes think the human race is in. It seemed to me that it was critical to try to take action to stem the criticism and help people understand that in the constitutional framework, it's terribly important not to have a system of retaliation against decisions people don't like. What most people don't know is the judge of these hearings himself was later convicted of misappropriation. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other. Actually, a recent election was thrown out by a federal judge because of corruption with the voting process in Philadelphia. I don't judge my relationship with Puff or Bad Boy according to other people or past artists. Creative, the ability to create, to invent and discover and practical, the ability to apply and use what you know. Heredity, race and nationhood are not the best criteria by which to judge our fellow humans. I make a conscious effort not to look from the outside in but look from the inside out, and when you do that it allows you to feel and sense things more, and act and react from a core, you know?
Here are some quotes that I hope inspire, motivate and propel you to live life with love and joy, and without worry! The Wailers would go on to release some of the earliest reggae records with producer Lee Scratch Perry. I don't have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody.
Yeats, good praiser, wholesome dispraiser, heavy-handed judge, open-handed helper of us all, I offer a play of my plays for every night of the week, because you like them, and because you have taught me my trade.
Me personally, I've never been the type of person to judge anyone over wrongdoing, no matter what it is.
I think you can judge a book by its cover - whoever said you can't is wrong - that's the whole point of nature giving us intuition, instinct and so on. Looking back on my own life, I see that was the period when I was closest to giving up as a novelist and when I most needed some encouragement. I'm also a judge for the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, which gives awards to literature and nonfiction. If you don't know where you are going to bowl and where you think the batsman will hit, then how can you tell the captain what you want? It's a fun career deal, but it's not what I want to do with my life, because I see football as a game. This is America, and our government is collecting way too damn much data on we the private citizens!
I think the best way to correct behavior is to accentuate and affirm positive behavior and to ignore negative behavior. But I think that it is high time that you all start looking at yourselves, and judging the lie that you live in. And truly here people judge you by the content of your character not the color of your skin. I don't know if it's because I'm versatile or because production affects how people judge music. At the end of the day, you are in charge of your career, and you can't depend on no man to do anything for you.
A lot of young women feel they want to save themselves for the man who they think they'll love forever. After the Wailers disbanded in 1974, Marley pursued a solo career that culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977, which established his worldwide reputation and produced his status as one of the world's best-selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million records. And when I got home, I was always doing music, but when I was doing music, no one was there to judge it, you know?
My mom always says, 'Yeah, but you don't know what kind of day they're having.' You don't know the back-story, and that's why it's so fun to be an actor and to get into the back-story. It's my place to love and to show God's love to other people, even if they don't live a life like I live.
And I'm standing there and that judge said I was found guilty, so he sentenced me to what the law prescribed: one to 14 years. I've learned to judge relationships with a person on myself and that person, not what they have done with previous people. It's crystal and it's pure and it's available to everybody, so just shut your traps and put down your McDonalds, your vaccines, your Us Weekly, your TMZ and the rest of it.
We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and spending as much time as possible in deliberation. With that said, when you love someone or something with your heart and not your eyes, there is no separation.

Unfortunately, we are starting 2018 with some bad news. We will be cancelling our shows in Holland on the 5th & 6th January. Unfortunately, one of the guys in the band has a health situation which prevents them from getting to the show and performing on stage. We have tried very hard to sign up a replacement over the last four days when it became clear we couldn't make the shows happen but we've been unsuccessful. We contacted our old guitarist who could make it because of his work and also several guitarists from other Genesis tribute bands. Sadly they all declined.
We do realise of course that this is the second time we have had to call off our Holland shows and believe me when I say, nobody is more disappointed than the band. We were all really looking forward to what would have been an amazing trip overseas together, to perform the music we love.
Kaarthouders worden via de mail op de hoogte gebracht over hoe zij het geld voor deze show terugkrijgen.

Kouandjio brothers anchor left side of Alabama line
D.C. Reeves | Halifax Media Group
Aug 27, 2013 at 12:01 AM Aug 27, 2013 at 7:09 PM
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. � From similar high school hype to the same college choice, the Kouandjio brothers have done plenty together.
Now they�ll line up together for the first time.
Cyrus and Arie will take their stances side by side � Cyrus at left tackle and Arie at left guard � when the top-ranked Crimson Tide takes on Virginia Tech at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Saturday.
Alabama coach Nick Saban made it official on Monday, pegging Arie as the starter at left guard on Alabama�s new depth chart. While Cyrus entrenched himself as a bookend in 14 impressive starts in 2012, there was some mystery as to how the Crimson Tide would handle Arie�s alignment; Arie and Austin Shepherd rotated between left guard and right tackle in fall camp. Shepherd, also a first-year starter, was named the starting right tackle.
�It wasn�t a thought in my mind,� Cyrus said when asked if he�d ever imagined starting next to his brother in college. �I didn�t know I could play college football. And me and my brother on the same team? It�s a blessing.�
And as the younger Cyrus has become a staple for Alabama, a starting job in college for Arie has proved to be a measure of perseverance. He underwent knee surgeries that cut both his 2011 and 2012 seasons short, the second lingering into a setback that forced him to miss this past spring. Limited mobility meant Arie would work his way back at guard, but he showed enough progress in fall camp for the coaching staff to give him a look at right tackle.
�Arie has done a really good job. I don�t think I�ve seen anyone more dedicated, more determined, work harder,� Saban said this month. �He had a very different rehab, and most of the time you do this one time. He had it multiple times. We knew it would take him a long time to come back. We thought it might affect his mobility. At first it did, but now it hasn�t.
�We feel like he�s one of our best offensive linemen now.�
Saturday will mark the first time in four years that the Kouandjios have started on the field together. Arie, a year older, was the left tackle, while Cyrus played right tackle at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Md., in 2009.
�They were two imposing tackles to have,� former DeMatha head coach Bill McGregor said. �They are very competitive with each other, but they would always work together. I know they are excited about this year together.�
And who knows, maybe all this togetherness for the brothers could give the Crimson Tide an edge.
�He knows what I�m thinking, and I know what he�s thinking by just a look,� Cyrus said, smiling. �So a slight advantage.�

The Cross of St. James is similar to a Cross flory fitchy and is formed by a cross flory, where the lower part is fashioned as a sword blade (rather like fitched or fitchee or fitchy) - making this a cross of a warrior. It was popularized then due to its resemblance to a sword, symbolizing in a sense taking up the sword for the name of Christ. This form is said to have originated at the time of the Crusades, when the crusaders carried small crosses with pointed lower arms, capable of being thrust into the ground at a time of daily devotions. The insignia of the Order of Santiago is a bright red cross simulating a sword and has the shape of a fleur-de-lis on the handle and on the arms. The knights wore the stamp of the cross on their banners and on their white capes. The cross on the banner had three insignias on it, one in the middle and one on each end of the arms. The three fleurs-de-lis represent spotless honour (an honour of having defeated an enemy without spilling blood), which makes reference to the moral characteristics of the apostle St. James. The sword represents the knightly character of the apostle and refers his martyrdom, since he was decapitated by sword. It can also symbolize, in a certain sense, taking the sword in the name of Christ. It is said that the form of the insignia originated during the crusade period, when the knights took small crosses with the bottoms sharpened to be able to nail them into the ground and carry out their daily devotions. Most notably, the Cross of Saint James was the emblem of the twelfth-century military Order of Santiago, named in reference to Spain's patron saint, Saint James the Great. This cross design is also called the Cross of the Knights of Santiago and the Spanish Cross. Often this cross design bears a heart-like ornament on its top. This cross design is used as a decorative element in the Galician sweet Tarta de Santiago.
A cross is a geometrical figure consisting of two lines or bars perpendicular to each other, dividing one or two of the lines in half. The lines usually run vertically and horizontally; if they run obliquely, the design is technically termed a saltire, although the arms of a saltire need not meet at right angles. The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and is used by many religions, such as Christianity. It is frequently a representation of the division of the world into four elements (Chevalier, 1997) or cardinal points, or alternately as the union of the concepts of divinity, the vertical line, and the world, the horizontal line (Koch, 1955).
Nicely sized, well made, and solid. A nice piece!

India, Japan to develop strategic and global partnership: Dr Manmohan Singh
Describing his talks with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe as "very fruitful", Dr Manmohan Singh said both India and Japan shared common values and responsibilities to ensure peace and prosperity in the region.
He said New Delhi "deeply appreciated" Abe`s words of friendship expressed during his address to Parliament today. Singh spoke of a "comprehensive and forward looking vision" of how the two countries could move forward.
"We have today agreed to lay down a roadmap to impart a new dimension to strategic and global partnership between the two countries," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said at a joint press conference with visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe here after the delegation level talks.
Separately, welcoming the Japanese business delegation accompanying the prime minister Shinzo Abe, in New Delhi, today, Dr Manmohan Singh said, there were enormous complementarities and commercial potential that exists in a strategic alliance between a technologically advanced, mature industrial economy like Japans and a rapidly growing developing country like India's.
He pointed out to India's aspiration to reach and sustain double-digit rates of annual economic growth, the guiding principle of which would be harness growth towards employment generation, poverty reduction and human development.
"As businessmen, you will understand the implications of these policies in terms of their impact in the years ahead on our labour and consumer markets."

Q: Macro to test whether an integer type is signed or unsigned How would you write (in C/C++) a macro which tests if an integer type (given as a parameter) is signed or unsigned?

      #define is_this_type_signed (my_type) ...

A: In C++, use std::numeric_limits<type>::is_signed.
#include <limits>
std::numeric_limits<int>::is_signed  - returns true
std::numeric_limits<unsigned int>::is_signed  - returns false

See https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/numeric_limits/is_signed.

A: If you want a macro then this should do the trick:
#define IS_SIGNED( T ) (((T)-1)<0)

Basically, cast -1 to your type and see if it's still -1. In C++ you don't need a macro. Just #include <limits> and:
bool my_type_is_signed = std::numeric_limits<my_type>::is_signed;

A: If what you want is a simple macro, this should do the trick:
#define is_type_signed(my_type) (((my_type)-1) < 0)

A: Your requirement isn't exactly the best, but if you'd like to hack together a define, one option could be:
#define is_numeric_type_signed(typ) ( (((typ)0 - (typ)1)<(typ)0) && (((typ)0 - (typ)1) < (typ)1) )

However, this isn't considered nice or portable by any means.

A: I was actually just wondering the same thing earlier today. The following seems to work:
#define is_signed(t)    ( ((t)-1) < 0 )

I tested with:
#include <stdio.h>

#define is_signed(t)    ( ((t)-1) < 0 )
#define psigned(t) printf( #t " is %s\n", is_signed(t) ? "signed" : "unsigned" );

int
main(void)
{
    psigned( int );
    psigned( unsigned int );
}

which prints:
int is signed
unsigned int is unsigned

A: In C++ you can do:

bool is_signed = std::numeric_limits<typeof(some_integer_variable)>::is_signed;

numeric_limits is defined in the <limits> header.

A: Althout typeof is not legal C++ at the moment, you can use template deduction instead. See sample code below:
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

template <typename T>
bool is_signed(const T& t)
{
  return std::numeric_limits<T>::is_signed;
}

int main()
{
  std::cout <<
    is_signed(1) << " " <<
    is_signed((unsigned char) 0) << " " <<
    is_signed((signed char) 0) << std::endl;
}

This code will print
  1 0 1

A: For c++, there is boost::is_unsigned<T>. I'm curious why you need it though, there are few good reasons IMHO.

A: A more "modern" approach is to use type_traits:
#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::cout << ( std::is_signed<int>::value ? "Signed" : "Unsigned") <<std::endl;
}

A: You could do this better with a template function, less macro nasty business.
    template <typename T>
        bool IsSignedType()
        {
           // A lot of assumptions on T here
           T instanceAsOne = 1;

           if (-instanceAsOne > 0)
           {
               return true;
           }
           else
           {
               return false;
           }
}

Forgive the formatting...
I would try this out and see if it works...

A: In C, you can't write a macro that works on as-yet unknown typedef's of fundamental integer types.
In C++, you can as long as your type is a fundamental integer type or a typedef of a fundamental integer type.  Here's what you'd do in C++:
template <typename T>
struct is_signed_integer
{
    static const bool value = false;
};

template <>
struct is_signed_integer<int>
{
    static const bool value = true;
};

template <>
struct is_signed_integer<short>
{
    static const bool value = true;
};

template <>
struct is_signed_integer<signed char>
{
    static const bool value = true;
};

template <>
struct is_signed_integer<long>
{
    static const bool value = true;
};

// assuming your C++ compiler supports 'long long'...
template <>
struct is_signed_integer<long long>
{
    static const bool value = true;
};

#define is_this_type_signed(my_type) is_signed_integer<my_type>::value

One Minute of Nonsense by Ken Goodman (2007)
by Gary Stager March 16, 2020 July 25, 2020
One anonymous teacher who is quoted in my book, claims that her district is not using DIBELS because administrators and teachers want to use it or because it gives helpful information, because it doesn't, she claims. "We're using it because Reading First requires it," she says. "Some schools are posting fluency scores of children … and then the students have race cars, in the form of bulletin boards, where they are trying to race to the speed goal. On the phoneme segmentation part, some kindergarten classrooms have been known to drill and practice the segmentation while kids are in line waiting for the restroom."
DIBELS is not just an early literacy test. Teachers are required to group learners and build instruction around the scores. They're evaluated on the DIBELS scores their pupils achieve. Publishers are tailoring programs to DIBELS. And academic and life decisions for children, starting in kindergarten, are being made according to DIBELS scores.
I believe this period in American education will be characterized as the pedagogy of the absurd. Roland Good, a DIBELS developer, told the U.S. House of Representatives' Education Committee during a hearing last April that three million children are tested with DIBELS at least three times a year from kindergarten through third grade. New Mexico provides every teacher with a DIBELS Palm Pilot so the pupils' scores can be sent directly to Oregon for processing.
Kentucky's associate education commissioner testified at the hearing that the state's Reading First proposal was rejected repeatedly until they agreed to use DIBELS. The DOE inspector general cited conflicts of interest by Good and his Oregon colleagues in promoting DIBELS.
Another teacher, quoted in my book, claims that while the DIBELS test is used throughout the school year, any child who receives the label "Needs Extensive Intervention" as a result of the first testing must be monitored with a "fluency passage" every other week.
No test of any kind for any purpose has ever had this kind of status. In my book, I analyzed each of the subtests in depth. Here are my conclusions:
• DIBELS reduces reading to a few components that can be tested in one minute. Tests of naming letters or sounding out nonsense syllables are not tests of reading. Only the misnamed Reading Fluency test involves reading a meaningful text, and that is scored by the number of words read correctly in one minute.
• DIBELS does not test what it says it tests. Each test reduces what it claims to test to an aspect tested in one minute.
• What DIBELS does, it does poorly, even viewed from its own criteria. Items are poorly constructed and inaccuracies are common.
• DIBELS cannot be scored consistently. The tester must time responses (three seconds on a stopwatch), mark a score sheet, and listen to the student, whose dialect may be different from the tester, all at the same time.
• DIBELS does not test the reading quality. No test evaluates what the reader comprehends. Even the "retelling fluency test" is scored by counting the words used in a retelling.
• The focus on improving performance on DIBELS is likely to contribute little or nothing to reading development and could actually interfere. It just has children do everything fast.
• DIBELS misrepresents pupil abilities. Children who already comprehend print are undervalued, and those who race through each test with no comprehension are overrated.
• DIBELS demeans teachers. It must be used invariantly. It leaves no place for teacher judgment or experience.
• DIBELS is a set of silly little tests. It is so bad in so many ways that it could not pass review for adoption in any state or district without political coercion. Little can be learned about something as complicated as reading development in one-minute tests.
Pedagogy of the Absurd
I believe this period in American education will be characterized as the pedagogy of the absurd. Nothing better illustrates this than DIBELS. It never gets close to measuring what reading is really about-making sense of print. It is absurd that self-serving bureaucrats in Washington have forced it on millions of children. It is absurd that scores on these silly little tests are used to judge schools, teachers and children. It is absurd that use of DIBELS can label a child a failure the first week of kindergarten. And it is a tragedy that life decisions are being made for 5- and 6-year-olds on the basis of such absurd criteria.

Focus Mergers & Acquisitions
Bonus match
April 27, 2021 Gord Delamont
LMR Lottery Consulting Inc., the engine behind London's Dream Home Lottery, has been acquired by online gaming firm Ascend Fundraising Solutions
Photo: LMR Lottery Consulting Inc. president, Rita Fieder
LONDON-BASED LET'S MAKE RESULTS (LMR) Lottery Consulting Inc., a firm licensed by the province to run charitable lotteries (think 50-50 draws and dream home lotteries) has been acquired by Ascend Fundraising Solutions, a Toronto-based provider of online gaming-based charitable fundraising.
The acquisition is being described as a tactical marriage of sorts, bringing together an established charitable lottery operator in LMR with Ascend, who have carved a niche for themselves in running online fundraising lotteries for clients in Canada, the U.S. and the UK.
LMR is licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to run charitable gaming in the province, including the popular Dream Lottery series in support of London hospitals. The 2021 Spring Dream Lottery (the grand prize and 50/50 winners will be announced on June 17) set a new sales record, selling out in 14 days.
"We believe that our turnkey solution, powered by Ascend's industry leading technology, will drive significant online revenue and donor acquisition for our customers ― making our value proposition that much stronger" ―Rita Fieder
Ascend, meanwhile, counts several professional sports leagues, including the NHL, MLB and the NFL, as clients and has built a name for itself in operating the online 50-50 draws during major sporting events.
"We're really excited," says Rita Fieder, president of LMR. "We've done work with them in the past, and it really was a very good fit. It's the one-stop shop where you can really come to one place. For the organizations that are lightly staffed, running theses lotteries takes a lot of time energy and resources, and that's why they come to organizations like us to help them out."
According to Fieder, LMR will continue to operate as an independent entity here in London.
"Independent but really together, as well," Fieder adds. "It's really a business marriage, I guess you could say, in terms of us working together."
Fieder says the merger will mean they can serve charities and non-profits more fully. LMR, accustomed to operating in more traditional medias like print and radio for their marketing campaigns, can now lean on the digital know-how that has helped make Ascend a successful company.
"We've been impressed by the Ascend team and their focus on excellence," says Fieder. "We believe that our turnkey solution, powered by Ascend's industry leading technology, will drive significant online revenue and donor acquisition for our customers ― making our value proposition that much stronger."
"We are relentlessly focused on delivering outstanding results and exceptional support for our customers," adds Daniel Lewis, Ascend's CEO. "We are thrilled to have Rita Fieder and her team join our Ascend brand and bring their shared values of excellence and over 35 years of lottery program experience to the table."
"People are happy that they can come if they're interested in running a mega lottery or something smaller," says Fieder. "We're now able to help organizations right from the get-go."
Financial details of the acquisition are undisclosed. Kieran Delamont

What Is the Role of the Teacher in Montessori Schools?
Starwood Montessori > Blog > Montessori Education > What Is the Role of the Teacher in Montessori Schools?
In a Montessori school, the teacher fulfills a very different role than he or she would in a conventional public school. In a typical public school classroom, the teacher stands at the front of the room and teaches the same material to all the students at the same pace. In a Montessori school, the teacher is much more of a guide and a mentor than an instructor. This is because this type of private education supports a student's natural capacity for self-directed and self-paced learning.
One of the responsibilities of teachers at Montessori schools is to present lessons, usually to one or two children at a time. These lessons make use of Montessori learning materials, which allow students to handle physical representations of concepts. Once the lesson is presented, the student is free to work on the learning activity by him-or herself, or in a small group.
For much of the school day, a Montessori teacher quietly moves through the classroom, carefully observing students and stepping in to facilitate learning when needed. Montessori teachers do not force knowledge or ideas upon students, but rather the teachers give students the tools necessary to allow the students to investigate concepts themselves.
One of the most important roles of the Montessori teacher is his or her observations of the students. Montessori teachers closely watch each student for evidence of sensitive periods, which are times during which children are particularly receptive to acquiring academic skills. Careful observations also allow Montessori teachers to identify when children are ready to move on to the next lesson. Their observations are recorded and shared with each family during meetings of the teacher, parents, and child.
Starwood Montessori School was founded with the mission of giving students the tools they need to reach their full potential. At our Montessori school in Frisco, our highly qualified teachers guide students with gentle enthusiasm, always allowing them the freedom of exploration. For more information about Dr. Montessori's Method or enrollment in our Montessori school, call (972) 712-8080.

Drug Addict Reportedly Beaten to Death In Police-Run Detoxification Center in Guangdong Province
The parents of a 24-year-old addict who died in a Guangdong province drug detoxification center received an anonymous call indicating that their son had been beaten to death, according to South China Morning Post articles published on August 4 and 5. An autopsy reportedly supports the caller's assertion. The addict's parents, both doctors, had admitted him to the facility. According to one man who was detained there, the Guangdong center had a reputation for irregular fatalities and had been ordered to improve its record. Key footage from a surveillance camera that had been installed to prevent abuses is apparently missing without explanation.
The Chinese government recently launched a major campaign to combat illegal drug use. Under administrative regulations, Chinese police have the power to commit drug users to forcible detoxification for three to six months without judicial review. Statistics published in a China Daily article on the drug detoxification system indicate that at the end of 2003, China had 583 compulsory drug detoxification centers, 151 detention centers, and more than 1,000 "voluntary" rehabilitation units. The relapse rate for forced detoxification detainees reportedly exceeds 90 percent. Officials may subject repeat drug offenders to longer terms of administrative punishment in re-education through labor centers.
The drug detoxification case resembles the 2003 case of Sun Zhigang, who was detained by mistake on suspicion of being an illegal migrant and beaten to death in a Guangzhou city detention center. Public anger over Sun's death led to the repeal of administrative regulations that permitted police to forcibly detain vagrants, beggars, and unregistered migrants.


Stocks slipped Wednesday after Tuesday saw strong results for the major averages. What should investors expect going forward? Stuart Freeman, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, and Barbara Marcin, portfolio manager at Gabelli Blue Chip Value Fund, shared their insights.
"It's is not unusual after you've had a year of economic growth to have a slower patch, but I think the markets are going to be volatile between here and the end of the year," Freeman told CNBC.
Freeman said the S&P 500 is likely to finish the year at around 1,100 to 1,140.
In the meantime, Marcin said she expects slower growth, based on the latest economic reports and earnings.
"We've seen a fairly consistent story, which says that the only real growth has been outside the U.S., but the toplines have been mediocre, and the earnings have been achieved with tremendous productivity and lower costs and wages," she said.

1) Surveys conclude that nearly 100% of brides would have spent more money on a better DJ after their wedding was over. Most were disappointed with their choice of cheap entertainment and lack of experience. Most people have never hired a DJ. The best price is not always the best deal, especially if you are planning a wedding.
2) You are going to hear a lot of different rates, some probably more than ours and some for less, let me ask you this, who makes or breaks your party?
3) A party is an entertainment function. The current national average spent on a wedding day is about $20,000! At 6 hours for the wedding and reception, that's $3,333 per hour. If the guests leave just one hour early, because of a cheap, inexperienced DJ, the Bride and Groom will have lost $3,333!
4) There is a huge difference in the quality between DJs. Make sure your do your research and check the DJ's experience. It will be more important than you think.
Is the company sending you their best DJ?
5) What do you remember most about other people's wedding? Surveys conclude 90% of people only remember how much fun they had years after your wedding.
Custom packages can be made and prices can be switched around. (i.e. If you wanted a Photo Booth instead of the slideshow we can accommodate to fit your needs and prices can be changed/swapped around).

How to get verified on Twitter (and why it's advantageous)
Jonathan Long November 22, 2017
Get legit
If you are an active social media user, you more than likely have wanted to know how to get verified on Twitter. The elusive "blue tick" was first rolled out internally to high-profile accounts, helping the public quickly identify celebrities and public figures.
Several years ago, Twitter verification was extremely difficult to obtain. My profile was verified in the early days, and I used to receive several emails daily asking me how to get verified on Twitter.
Aside from the ego boost, being verified on Twitter makes your profile stand out, and you will attract more attention if it's verified. That little blue tick acts as a magnet, drawing people who could potentially convert to followers or customers.
According to Jake Braun, co-founder of Kapok Marketing, "We have had several clients approach us to help them get verified on Twitter, and while it doesn't have a direct impact on engagement, being verified does help to build a higher level of consumer trust, which can then trigger more engagement."
Well, now anyone can apply to be Twitter verified. I'm going to walk you through the steps.
How to get verified on Twitter in 4 steps
It's a very simple process to submit your account for consideration. The easiest way to learn how to get verified on Twitter is following this five-step process.
Thoroughly complete your profile.
Confirm your information.
Make sure your account is public.
Complete the verification submission form.
It's important to understand that most people won't be candidates for verification, as Twitter still only verifies individuals they consider to be public figures and well-known brands. This language from Twitter's Help Center explains what types of accounts they verify:
"An account may be verified if it is determined to be an account of public interest. Typically this includes accounts maintained by users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, sports, business, and other key interest areas."
Without further ado, let's move through the steps for how to get verified on Twitter.
1. Thoroughly complete your profile
There are three main components of a Twitter profile: your bio, profile photo, and a header image. Your bio needs to make what you do and who you are very clear. Keep it simple and concise (but don't be afraid to boast a little) while maintaining a human element. Opt for a professional headshot for your profile image and use your header image to highlight additional information.
You will also want to include a relevant link in your bio — a personal blog of your company's website works well for the initial submission.
If you look at the image above, you will see my bio is pretty straightforward while also throwing a little human element in at the end. My header image features the Miami skyline with some logos of the media outlets I write for.
2. Confirm your information
It's important you link a business email to your Twitter account. If you own a business or hold a high-profile position, you need to use your work email — not a Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or other personal email service. Make sure you confirm your email address by clicking the link in the email that is automatically sent to you, which looks like this:
Add your mobile phone number to your account. Once you do this, you will receive a text message with a confirmation number to use to verify your number. I would also suggest enabling two-factor authentication, as well, to help secure your account. Oh, and make sure your birthday is filled out in your settings — it's required to submit for verification.
3. Make sure your account is public
In order to be considered for verification, your profile must be public. Profiles that are set to private are not eligible. From Settings and privacy, go to Privacy and safety, and then make sure the Protect your Tweets box is unchecked:
If you do get verified, you need to leave your profile public. Switching it to private will cause you to lose the badge, as will changing your handle. Your website link, bio and profile picture can be changed at any time, however.
4. Complete the verification submission form
You can access the submission form here while logged into your Twitter account on a desktop or laptop (you must be logged in to access the form).
This is one of the easiest parts of figuring out how to get verified on Twitter. It's a very simple submission form, asking for two to five links to information that helps explain who you are and why your account should be verified.
While Twitter only requires two, I would suggest giving them five to really help build your case. This is your chance to provide Twitter with rock-solid proof and examples of why your profile should receive the coveted verification badge.
In additional to the links, you will need to tell them, in 500 characters or less, why your Twitter account should be verified. Try highlighting your expertise, accomplishments and any other prominent information that helps to paint the picture that you are a public figure or your brand is notable. Don't be shy and keep it short and to the point, because space is limited.
I would also suggest being very active on Twitter for a few weeks prior to submitting the form, as they will undoubtedly look at your previous activity. If you haven't tweeted in awhile it gives them little to no reason to consider your request.
The benefits of being verified on Twitter
There are several benefits of learning how to get verified on Twitter. From a personal branding standpoint, it helps people find you and adds an additional element of authority. For a brand, it can help stand out in a sea of competition.
"Twitter was the first social media network to offer verification, making it highly desirable from a personal branding standpoint," explains James Goodnow of Lamber Goodnow, who is verified on Twitter.
Now that Twitter has opened verification requests to the public, it has caused many business owners to consider it. Dana Vandecar, CEO of Traditionally Extracted Herbs is one of those business owners, stating, "Being verified is just another tool to use in order to position your brand as an industry leader, and it's definitely something we are actively pursuing."

Titans vs. 49ers score: A.J. Brown's huge night powers Tennessee to comeback win – CBSSports.com
Boos rang throughout Nissan Stadium early during "Thursday Night Football," but that Music City tune quickly shifted to cheers in the second stanza, as the Tennessee Titans used a 20-7 second-half run to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17. Randy Bullock knocked in a game-winning field goal from 44 yards out to secure the victory.
The Titans recorded just 55 yards of total offense and zero points in the first half, but something changed after the halftime break, and now the Titans are just an Indianapolis Colts loss away from wrapping up the AFC South. The difference for the Titans this week was the return of star wideout A.J. Brown, who missed the last three games with a chest injury. On Thursday night, last year's Pro Bowl receiver caught 11 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown.
49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggled, as he completed 25 of 34 passes for 306 yards to go along with one touchdown and two interceptions. His first interception came on San Francisco's second drive of the game, as he threw the ball to Jackrabbit Jenkins in the end zone from just 8 yards out. His second pick in the third quarter set up Tennessee's game-tying touchdown.
Check back soon, as this article will be turned into a takeaways piece which dives more deeply into what went down in Nashville on Thursday.

Zero Motorcycles announced that LAPD has purchased three of their special ops electrical motorcycles to patrol the remote areas.
Virtually silent, the Zero MMX delivers 54 HP and 68 ft-lb of instant torque, which is plenty for a bike that weighs mere 276 pounds, taking it from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds. The off-road form factor combined with the electric powertrain make this bike extremely capable in remote areas and allow it to forge water up to 3.2 feet deep. With a top speed of 85 mph, this motorcycle can go around two hours before needing a re-charge. How much does it cost to recharge? Around 80 cents, straight from any wall outlet.
I know you want one, but unfortunately, general public cannot purchase one of these bikes. Not yet, anyways. For now, you can find out more and check out the full specs on the manufacturer's site.

Q: asynchronous behavior of nodejs I am new to node.js and I try to render different pages based on some conditions, however, I sometimes meet the problem "Error [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: Cannot set headers after they are sent to the client", I think this is because of the asynchronous behavior of node.js. How can I fix this problem?
I tried setTimeout but I think that's not the right way to do that.
The following part is the section where I met this issue:
/*
    signup err code:
    0 stand for no errors,
    1 stand for confirmPassword and password not match
    2 stand for user already exist
*/
app.post('/signup',(req, res) => {
    //initialize the signupErr to be 0
    signupErr = 0;
    //get the data from the post request
    let username = req.body.username;
    let email = req.body.email;
    let password = req.body.password;
    let confirmPassword = req.body.confirmPassword;
    let organization = req.body.organization;
    /*first check the twice entered password, if not match set error number to 1 for the server to render the corresponding error message*/
    if (password!=confirmPassword){
        signupErr = 1;
        res.redirect('/signup');
    }
    //form the query to consult the database to check if user exists
    let queryUsername = "SELECT password FROM User WHERE Username = " + "'" + username + "'";
    let queryEmail = "SELECT email FROM User WHERE Email = " + "'" + email + "'";
    // check if username exists

    connection.query(queryEmail,(err,results) => {
        if(err){
            console.log("Errore login: " + err);
        } else if(results.length!=0) {
            signupErr = 2;
            res.redirect('/signup');
        }
    });

    //check if email exists
    connection.query(queryUsername,(err,results) => {
        if(err){
            console.log("Errore login: " + err);
        } else if(results.length!=0) {
            signupErr = 2;
            res.redirect('/signup');
        }
    });

    // form the insertion query if no err found
    let queryInsert = "INSERT INTO `PIA`.`User` (`Username`, `Email`, `Password`,`Organization`) VALUES ('"+username +"', '"+ email +"', '"+password +"', '"+organization + "')";
    // insert the data into the database
    connection.query(queryInsert,(err,results) => {
        if(err){
            console.log("Errore login: " + err);
        } else{
            console.log("Inserted");
            res.render('main');
        }
    });
});

The insertion part will still run sometime after the redirect.
I'll be really grateful if you can give me any ideas on how to solve that.


He had no interest in offering something Democrats would actually agree to — just a photo op.
On Saturday, Donald Trump once again attempted to coerce Democrats into giving him money for what many have characterized as a "vanity wall" along the southern border — a campaign promise he's already failed to live up to, as it has not been funded by Mexico, nor are there any provisions or plans in place for Mexico to pay for it.
In the much-hyped announcement, which drew immediate speculation as to whether it might be the declaration of a "national emergency," Trump offered concessions on immigration that fall far short of anything that could possibly bring Democrats to the table, especially considering their position during all of the now month-long shutdown has been for the President to reopen the government and then engage in talks about immigration.
Trump, of course, cannot declare a national emergency unless he wants to set a precedent for future Presidents to be able to use the same tactic in order to divert funds intended for something else and instead use them to combat climate change, provide universal health coverage, make college tuition-free, or any number of other campaign promises that they have been unable to achieve in a deadlocked Congress.
But Trump's proposal falls almost laughably short of a workable arrangement: Based on the BRIDGE Act, which allows for short-term work authorization with no path to citizenship, it is a far cry from talks of DACA or the DREAM Act.
His proposal included $800 million in "urgent humanitarian assistance," $800 million in "drug security protocols," 250,000 new border agents, 75 new judge teams, and a "new system to allow Central American minors to apply for asylum" in their home countries.
Trump did not relent on his demand for $5.7 billion for a wall, including 230 new miles of wall this year. In return, he offered 3 years protection for DACA recipients and a 3-year extension of temporary protected status for other immigrants here whose protected status is set to expire.
According to the President, Mitch McConnell will bring the bill to the floor of the Senate this week for a vote — which will surely strain his credibility after claiming he would not bring "any" bill that would not move forward, as this one will not.


 Why are the 2500 islands of the Aegean Sea mostly Greek and rarely Turkish?
Greece and Turkey have become enemies again. The CEO of Greece's management is going to celebrate on the Aegean Island, which belongs to Greece. Turkish military planes are targeting him, reigniting the old and new hatred between the two countries in the Aegean Sea.
Aegean Sea covers an area of 214,000 square kilometers, which is the only sea area connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and has very high strategic value. During the Ottoman Empire, Greece was Turkish, not to mention the Aegean Sea. But in 1832, Greece became independent from Turkey. In the first Balkan War, Turkey was defeated and was forced to cede its islands to Greece. There are about 2500 islands in the Aegean Sea. In the London Peace Treaty of November 1913, in order to punish Turkey, the major powers assigned more than 2400 of the 2500 islands to Greece. Originally all of the Aegean islands belong to Turkey, but still belong to Turkey, only Gerkche Island, Metz and other more than 60 islands.
To this day, Turkey is angry about this division. Turkey nominally borders the Aegean Sea, but in fact Turkish ships enter Greek territory as soon as they leave their coastline. Turkey controls the Turkish Strait (Bosporus Strait, Dardaniel Strait), and the coastal states of the Black Sea have to look at Turkey's face to enter the Mediterranean Sea. But Turkey's entry into the Mediterranean from the Aegean Sea depends on Greece's face. Turkey ruled Greece for four hundred years, which Greeks called the most humiliating four hundred years in history. Hatred of Turkey is a bone in the neck. Therefore, Turkish ships (military, civil) have to cross Greek territory into the Mediterranean, not so easy.
Turkey is very dissatisfied with such a division, and a statement has been made. Turkey said that a single document would not solve the Greek-Turkish dispute at all. So some islands need Greece and Turkey to renegotiate to determine ownership. Turkey says that some islands are not in the so-called peace treaty and do not belong to Greece. But we would like to sit down with Greece.
Greece was angry all over the country, shouting: Turkey wants to change its territorial division with Greece, only war! You're not wrong, only war! Greece will devote all its efforts to defending even the Greek islands, which are less than one square kilometer long. Greece will never recognize the so-called transitional islands, which have been written to belong to Greece. The territorial sea is more troublesome than territorial division. The controversy lies in how many kilometres the territorial sea is wide. According to their own interests, countries have different standards. Before 1958, the International Territorial Sea width was 3 nautical miles and 6 nautical miles. The Greek and Turkish standards are all six nautical miles, but Greece announced 28 years earlier than Turkey, which was set in 1936. But in 1958, there appeared a territorial sea width of 12 nautical miles in the world. It is proud that 12 nautical miles were formulated by our country.
There is another factor. Previously, every country had planned food on land. In the 1960s and 1970s, every country gradually attached importance to the marine economy. Greece has most of the Aegean islands, so it wants the territorial sea to be 12 nautical miles wide. If so, Greece would account for 71.5% of the Aegean Sea and Turkey for only 8.7%. Since 1974, Greece has been working to expand its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles. Naturally, Turkey is strongly opposed to Greece's 12 nautical miles.
In fact, Turkey's waters in the Aegean Sea are less divided by 6 nautical miles than by 12 nautical miles, only 7.4%. Turkey is dissatisfied with the fact that Greece's Aegean waters have soared from 43.6% to 71.5%. According to this division, the Aegean Sea has almost become the Greek inland sea. Turkey's development in the Aegean Sea will suffer a heavy blow. At least, the strategic value of the Turkish Strait will be greatly reduced.
Turkey's angry saliva sprayed on Greece's face, saying that in other sea areas, it can be applied for 12 nautical miles, after all, the sea surface is relatively broad. However, the Aegean Sea is not very large and there are too many islands. It is extremely unfair to divide the Aegean Sea into 12 nautical miles for other countries (only Turkey).
Turkey is no longer as powerful as the Ottoman Empire, but also a medium power, several times larger than Greece. Greece is a little afraid of Turkey's almost desperate opposition. But the Greek compromise is now, for the future, Greece or that sentence: We will never give up 12 nautical miles! The division of territorial waters also led to the division of continental shelf. The Aegean Sea is rich in petroleum resources. Neither Greece nor Turkey is a major oil and gas country. The oil in the Aegean Sea is a must for every barrel. More troublesome than territorial sea division is the division of airspace. Airplanes fly in the sky, slightly careless will fly across the border, serious situation will lead to war.
The division of airspace also uses sea miles, but only atmospheric space. However, territorial sea division and airspace division must first be based on territorial ownership. Greece occupies most of the Aegean Islands, and the division of airspace is also beneficial to Greece. Greece said: Considering the relationship between Greece and Turkey, we can reduce our airspace from 12 nautical miles to 10 nautical miles. In Turkey's view, however, Greece's concessions are no different from its non-concessions. The islands of Greece are all at Turkey's doorstep. What's the difference between 12 and 10 nautical miles? For example, if a prisoner is sentenced to 170 years and 150 years after appeal, what is the significance of such a sentence?
Greek airspace, which Turkey considers acceptable, is only six nautical miles. Greece is even more angry, saying that you do not recognize, does not mean that other countries do not recognize. We only recognize 10 nautical miles of airspace, you have the courage to fly over!
Turkey insists that the tension in the Aegean Sea is due to the unfair division of the islands. Greece believes that Turkey is not qualified to own more than 60 islands in the Aegean Sea, and must "return" all of them to Greece.

It has been one whole year since a gunman opened fire on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
The incident happened on Valentines Day of 2018 and the tragedy shook the world. The news spread quickly and many sent their thoughts and prayers via social media… But there are still students and teachers suffering from the outcome of the tragedy.
Many of the students are making an impact to this day in American politics and as influencers on social media, advocates from both sides of the political spectrum. But one teacher is making an impact and has been very vocal about the incident that took place in her high school and she is known to the world as the Five Foot One Teacher.
This is Brittany Sinich. She is a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. After the incident, she decided that in response, she chose to inspire many with vlogs on Youtube, encouraging Instagram posts and just being a light in this dark world in general. She now has over 201,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel and over 120,000 people following her on Instagram.
I have been following Brittany for a while on Instagram and I saw earlier this week and as well as today, she posted heartwarming posts, which can be seen below.
So what can we learn from Brittany?
Even when tragedy strikes, we have to keep pressing forward. When things seem like they can never return to normal, direct your attention to the positive. Whenever you feel like the noise around you is getting too loud to hear… call upon the Prince of Peace! Jesus will guide you every step of the way.
While praying for Brittany and her ministry and walk that she has chosen to go down, let us remember the students and teachers who lost their lives on that day. The heroes, the parents, the sons and daughters… and whether you want to or not, pray over the salvation of the one who inflicted the violence as well.
