Avoiding Algorithm Vendor Lock-in
There is a progressive shift towards separating platform, workflow, presentation layer and integration layer from underlying algorithms, the latter of which are increasingly becoming commoditised anyhow. This trend has been evidenced by multiple significant recent government procurements.
How to Measure Facial Recognition Error Rate
The accuracy of a system is determined by how many people in the watchlist that cross the camera are missed by the system (i.e. slip through in the 98 per hour and potentially not assessed by a human) for the given false positive rate.
Against the backdrop of budgetary constraints, threats from terrorism, organised crime and public disorder continue to rise. Authorities can remain resilient through the targeted application of technology. Advances in face recognition coupled with the mass availability of digital media and continuously cheaper computing provides unique opportunities to enhance the efficiency of forensic investigations to enhance public safety. Processing of digital media can be automated in a virtualised and elastic computing environment to identify and extract actionable intelligence. Processing is scalable, continuous, consistent and predictable. Analysts can focus on investigating and confirming suggested results rather than watching countless hours of media in the hope of stumbling across intelligence. Such a centralised platform can also be used to search in near real-time faces from any number of remote cameras against centralised watchlists of individuals of interest.

Facial Recognition: Profits, Ethics and Privacy
The accuracy of face recognition has increased dramatically. Whilst the benefits to business are clear and seductively tantalising, it has been impossible to ignore the increasing murmurs of discontent amongst the wider population. Can the industry be relied upon to self-regulate? Will commercial enterprise go too far in their quest to maximise profits? How far is too far? How can organisations ethically make use of face recognition technology to increase efficiencies and drive revenue, whilst respecting and preserving privacy and maintaining the trust of their clientèle and society?
Face Recognition in Airports
The accuracy of face recognition has increased dramatically. It is now capable of providing reliable results in real-world environments; the technology is being deployed in airports today to enable everything from automated immigration processes, improved surveillance, security and seamless passenger travel, to the gathering of valuable statistical information pertaining to passenger movements.

This time of year can be difficult for many people. There are those who won't get to spend time with their families, such as many of our servicemen and women in the Armed Forces and others working during the holidays. Then you have those who will spend the holidays with their families and that will trigger stress, anxiety and in some cases depression. Add shopping into the mix and we have the perfect holiday emotional storm that many don't look forward to each and every year.
Here are a few safe nutrients and herbs to help you beat the holiday blues and keep stress and anxiety as low as possible.
Theanine – Derived comes from Green Tea. Reduces stress and anxiety; Increases Alpha Brain waves to allow focus and improved learning (great for ADD/ADHD) and lowers blood pressure in those under stress. This is perfect for everyone. The normal dose is 200mg up to four times per day.
Phosphatidylserine – Part of the Choline family of nutrients related to the nervous system and brain function. Lowers cortisol levels quickly and improves memory. Best taken in the morning as well as bedtime. Can be taken when needed.
Fish Oil – Reduces mild to moderate depression by 70-75% when depression is seasonal or caused by stress. Fish oil should be taken daily on a regular basis by all family members from kids to adults. Keeps the brain healthy as well as your sanity.
Passion Flower – An herb excellent for panic attacks. Can help one stay calm during very stressful times, but will not cause fatigue.


We were invited to perform at Visa's party and it was in one of my favourite London venues, One Marylebone!
It's a big church which is now used for parties, weddings and music events. They were a great crowd and loved the performances. We got some fab photos from Bob Fallon to remember the night.

On behalf of the school board, we messed up: Kelley
Washoe County, speaking on behalf of the School Board, we messed up.
Audience members who watched our evaluation of Superintendent Traci Davis Thursday night probably felt it. I certainly felt it as we discussed the preliminary scores, which ranged from 1.64 to 3.4, depending on how each School Board member interpreted the volumes of evidence we'd all received.
The context in which this evaluation took place led to inexcusable gaps and confusion in the process.
More:WCSD trustees override results of review, give Traci Davis 'accomplished' job rating
More:Washoe school board needs a do-over on Davis' review: Editorial
Davis' three-year contract called for a midyear review, which should have occurred in March 2017. However, four new board members – myself included – had just joined the School Board. The workload to get caught up on everything at Washoe County School District was overwhelming. A midyear superintendent review should have been brought forward by the board or staff, but wasn't.
Then, in rapid succession, we faced the 2017 Nevada legislative session, followed by School Board President Angie Taylor's diagnosis with cancer, and finally a $40 million budget deficit. A superintendent review could have occurred during this period, but didn't. In the future, the board and staff must take responsibility to make sure requirements like this are met.
The board started the superintendent evaluation in August, and by then it was too late to do a midyear review. We hired an outside consultant to organize the process because we wanted it to be unbiased, and we didn't want to put district staff in the position of evaluating the superintendent. That's our job.
Every board member received an evaluation rubric, survey results from school district staff and the community, and volumes of evidence from the superintendent and her leadership team. In addition, every board member relied on his or her own experiences with the superintendent, as well as visiting schools, talking with district employees, volunteers and members of the community about her leadership.
More:Even with changes, WCSD grad rate should be celebrated: Taylor
During the superintendent evaluation meeting, flaws in the process we'd approved became apparent, especially the omission of a midyear evaluation, and the type of evidence that the superintendent and trustees reviewed. After more than four hours of public comment and discussion, the board voted 4-2 to improve her performance to "accomplished."
How can we do better next time?
We'll discuss this more in-depth during future meetings, but doing a midyear evaluation and starting the end-year evaluation process sooner are critical.
The School Board has already began several long-term governance strategies that will help, such as creating key performance indicators for the district's strategic plan. This strengthens the role data will play the next time we evaluate the superintendent.
We are passionate about governance, but freely admit that this work is never finished. If citizens have ideas on how we can improve, please let us know, either through public comment, emails to the board, or out and about.
As for the superintendent evaluation? Washoe County, we messed up, and we'll do better next time.
Scott Kelley is the clerk of the Washoe County School Board.

TOPICS are a two piece band and art collective based out of Toronto, Ontario and Regina, Saskatchewan. TOPICS are comprised of members Evan Tyler and Lauren Fournier who both grew up in Regina and attended the same art program at the University – Intermedia .  Both artists moved to Toronto at different times and eventually pooled their talents into an art collective that grew into a band as well.
Shared experiences and themes of anxiety, nostalgia, conceptions of home and gender performativity are conceptually applied to many of their projects which include video, audio, images and ephemera. Their debut album "youth shield antioxidant complex" is slated for release on March 1, 2018 on vinyl, cassette tape, CD and digital. As a musical outfit, they synthesize sounds of new wave, country, dance and indie rock with a heavy emphasis on bass guitar, synthesizer and reverb effects.

ART CAMP by TOPICS
Thanks for reaching out! I think this kind of music treads a really fine line and the difference between producing something really cool and really annoying is very minimal. Thankfully I think you just about pull it off - I dig the production, especially, some really nice ideas. I find the vocals a little grating, especially the call-and-response of the chorus, but I'd definitely be interested in hearing more of your work as there are some really nice elements here. Best of luck!
Alan Cross
This works. I love the vibe of the video. It looks like it could have been made in 1979. You've captured the mood of their era perfectly.
I also like the electro simplicity of what you've done. Again, very fun and New Wave-y.
Look at hiring a radio plugger/publicist. They can help you attract the attention of music directors and program directors. Don't neglect public radio or campus stations, either.   These people can also help you get placement on new release playlists on streaming services, which is increasingly important. I can see this working really, really well on certain new discovery playlists on Spotify.
Formulate a social media strategy. Answer EVERY post and reply ASAP. That's a very quick way to turn early fans into evangelists.
Make friends with music bloggers. Even the smallest want to be able to say they discovered The Next Big Thing. Get as many of them on your side as much as possible.
I'll give this some love through my social media networks. That'll be good for about 100,000 people.
Andrea Young
Campy fun with a deeper overtone in the lyrics ("50,000 people die everyday") which is a bit at odds with the tone and style of the music.   Not sure we totally understand the message, but we like the visuals, the video is a compelling watch.  The track itself might be a bit repetitive for us (that may be your point) and also a bit underproduced, we are somehow left wanting it to be further developed beyond its one theme.  Hope that is truly helpful!  Thanks for your submission and good luck with your music.
Jen Dan
Hey there!  Well, this is a fun indie pop tune that is tailor-made for summertime.  It's a buoyant pop float with enjoyable lyrics and ear-catching dual male and female mirrored and alternating vocals.
Who wouldn't pick up on some of the nostalgic vibes that this song emits?  What's most interesting is that you focus on 'Art Camp', not just the usual summer camp - so we get lyrics about wanting to "papier-mâché" and "draw and listen to David Bowie."  Who doesn't, at least for that last part?
The beat is crisp and rapid, the KORG notes bright, the vocals (She: light; He: dark) delivered in a robotic, staccato tone, all run through with a buzzy electronic current.
Mike Mineo
A concurrent vocal duet plays infectiously over a playful key/synth line, channeling vintage power-pop with a fun '60s pop shine in the "brother, don't go outside" hook intro -- punctuated by the wry "50,000 people die everyday" line. The first minute shows ample personality on its own with these progressions, pivotal for capturing my attention. The second go-round of the chorus amps it up a bit, a bit more electronic effects added to the melodic acoustical backing. The "I wanna go to art camp this summer" - "I wanna draw and listen to David Bowie" - casts a fun light on the escapades that an art-laden getaway can provide. This is a fun, melodic track that - while structurally repetitive - utilizes fun wordplay and a catchy, vintage aesthetic to maintain my interest throughout. Nice work! Since you specified in the submission needing help promoting this, feel free to reach out to me at mike@obscuresound.com to inquire about my PR servicing's rates and success stories. Thanks for the submission! -Mike
Angela Mastrogiacomo
I love this! Everything about the video and the music is super quirky, and it's just so incredibly catchy and loveable. I'd love to feature it on Infectious and talk about doing PR for the March release!
It's a cute song, and I know the type of people who would be into dancing to this. I can't say it was my favorite, or that I think it could grow beyond sort fo a hipster crowd, but you could build a following on music like this.

Officer Kevin Saintes with the Corrigan P.D. investigates.
Sleepy Driver Rolls Truck, Alcohol Suspected, CORRIGAN, June 20, 2010 - At approximately 10:42 pm on June 19, 2010 a brown 2004 Dodge truck driven by Clarence Gene Colquitt, 56, of Corrigan, was north-bound on US-59 about a mile south of Corrigan when he says he fell asleep at the wheel and left the road to the right, over corrected to the left and rolled his truck into the grassy median. Colquitt's truck came to rest upright in the grass. Americare Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Corrigan Volunteer Fire Department, Corrigan Police Officer Kevin Saintes, Sergeant Christian Schanmier and Deputy Darren Crow and DPS Trooper David Morris. Emergency personnel removed Colquitt from his truck and loaded him onto an Ambulance which then drove him to Lufkin Memorial Hospital. One lane of traffic on the north-bound side of 59 was blocked during investigation and cleanup. According to Trooper Morris, Colquitt admitted to have been drinking and driving. Colquitt will be cited for suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Colquitt did have insurance. A rollback wrecker from Riley Wrecker Service out of Corrigan recovered Colquitt's vehicle and it will be stored in Corrigan. The scene was cleared by 11:45 pm.
The rollover caved in the roof of the 2004 Dodge truck.
Trooper David Morris with the Texas Highway Patrol is investigating this accident.
Colquitt's vehicle was recovered by Riley Wrecker Service out of Corrigan.

Q: How to identify whether the user is in switch control mode of IOS UIAccessibility We have a nice functionality in IOS to know whether UIAccessibility Voice over is active. The function to use is UIAccessibilityIsVoiceOverRunning(). I would like to know whether we have a similar functionality for  UIAccessibility switch control. I am not able to know whether the user is in switch control mode or not i.e whether scan is happening or not. How to identify whether the user is in switch control mode of UIAccessibility?

A: Since iOS 8 there is UIAccessibilityIsSwitchControlRunning.

A: It's not as easy as you'd like.  From my interactions with Apple, the switch control and possibly other aspects of the UIAccessibility API isn't as thoroughly implemented as VoiceOver.
What I have found is the following:

Note that this container view creates the array of accessible elements only when methods of the UIAccessibilityContainer protocol are called. As a result, if iPhone accessibility is not currently active, the array is not created.

At this link.
Which suggests that one way is to record when if calls are made to methods of the UIAccessibility Container, and if they are, then accessibility can be considered to be ON, be it VoiceOver or Switch Control.

ETHS restructures after failing 5 years of federal standards
In an effort to meet federal requirements, Evanston Township High School introduced a restructuring plan at the school board meeting Monday and awarded tenure to 11 staff members.
ETHS, 1600 Dodge Ave., is required to submit a finalized reorganization plan by May 1 under the No Child Left Behind Act. The school failed to meet the law's progress standards for five years in a row.
Instead of reopening as a public charter school or contracting an outside group to run the school, the plan recommends changing school programs and replacing staff members, said Judith Levinson, ETHS' director of research, evaluation and assessment. The plan was introduced to the board after months of work to develop eight strategies for improvement.
"We've seen this requirement as a remarkable opportunity to redouble our efforts," said Superintendent Eric Witherspoon.
The eight strategies each implement specific changes or expand current programs to help students who are falling behind in test scores.
The plan recommended modifying the Make-up Instructional Time program, which was intended to be a less punitive way of forcing students to make up time missed in the classroom, but Witherspoon said the program doesn't work for all students.
"For a number of students who are struggling anyway, it's just another thing not to do," he said.
The modified program could include "more personalized intervention" such as tutoring, Witherspoon said.
Assistant Superintendent Laura Cooper said the school is also trying to improve curriculum. ETHS departments should align curriculum so students have the same core knowledge regardless of their teacher, she said.
"A lot of the work has to be in the classrooms," Levinson said. "The focus has to be on how we teach and how we can improve instruction in the room, as well as additional programs outside."
Other suggested strategies for improving the school included expanding test preparatory courses and changing placement criteria to put more minority students into honor-level classes.
But ETHS board members and administrators also emphasized the importance of a good faculty for improving the school.
The board introduced 11 staff members who would receive tenured positions at the school at the meeting.
School staff in Illinois can apply for tenure after four years in the same district. Those years are meant to help staff decide whether the school is the right fit for them, and whether they are right for the school, Witherspoon said.
Tenured positions were awarded to teachers from fine arts, science, applied sciences and technology, history and world languages. A social worker with the special education department and a counselor were also awarded tenure. Two Northwestern alumni, David Chan, Weinberg '99, and Demetra Vranas, SESP '01 and '04, were awarded tenure in the science department.
"I hope you know how valued you are in this community," board member Margaret Lurie told the tenured staff members. "This school is kind of the light of this community, and you are representative of that."

This case study is about an American electronic design automation and engineering services company that specializes in the production of software for designing integrated circuits. The implementation entailed configuring Coupa to support business processes in over 30 countries, with integration between Coupa and SAP for more than 11 business objects and 1 WorkDay object. The integration case study for this client can be found here.
As part of the implementation, efforts were taken not only to align processes, but to streamline them across all operating units. Coupa is successfully being used for requisition, approvals, budgeting, purchase orders, receiving, invoicing, and reporting.
This was a staged rollout that took them to a global rollout across 30 countries in 9 months. A large portion of the time came from the integration work that was required across 11 SAP business objects and 1 WorkDay object. This included Coupa doing the SAP work as well as the Coupa integration work.

Q: Redirect www non-https to non-www https on Cloudflare I'm trying to get Cloudflare to route requests to:
http://www.example.com
https://www.example.com
http://example.com
to:
https://example.com
It seems to work pretty well out of the box with SSL enabled, etc. But I noticed that there's a redirect chain like this:
http://www.example.com -> 301 -> https://www.example.com -> 301 -> https://example.com
I would much rather just have the request to http://www.example.com redirect directly to https://example.com.
Does anyone know how to set this up? I have tried adding a rule to Cloudflare, but the redirect seems to be handled before running the rule. Or I misunderstood something.

A: For future visitors of this question, Cloudflare support solved this issue. The problem was that www wasn't orange-clouded in the DNS. After doing that, the page rule kicks in for all three URLs and redirects directly to the HTTPS, non-www variant.

The Dumb Sequester Cuts Are Only For 7 Months
I've actually made this point twice today already, but both times it's been buried in a longer post. So here's a post that just says one thing:
Yes, it's a dumb idea for the sequester to make equal, across-the-board cuts to every single agency in the U.S. government. But those dumb cuts are only for this fiscal year, which ends in September. For the following years, the cuts will be made mostly through the normal appropriations process. Congress and the president will have lots of freedom to make the cuts exactly where they want to, and to spare whatever programs they can agree on.
Just keep this in mind. It's dumb to cut R&D spending, for example, but it's only being cut for seven months. After that, normal funding will be restored if Congress can figure out someplace else to make the cuts instead. They can even do this in a limited way via the continuing resolution scheduled for a vote later this month. The sequester is dumb, but it's slightly less dumb than people are making it out to be.
NOTE: Of course, the main reason the sequester is dumb is because we shouldn't be cutting spending at all right now. We should be spending more. But that's a whole different issue.
