Bob Dylan scandalized Toronto folk music purists in 1965 when, during his first Massey Hall appearance, the acoustic hero performed an electric set. Sitting that night in the balcony, a young Charles Cutts couldn't have predicted that, five decades later, he would spearhead a plan to expand and revitalize the grande dame of Toronto music halls.
Massey Hall is on the cusp of a significant renewal plan that will allow, for the first time in its 120 years, the addition of basic back-of-house amenities such as elevators and a loading dock, and to improve its dressing rooms, washrooms, catering facilities, office spaces and patron amenities.
The project likely wouldn't happen if it weren't for the gift of a 450-square-metre piece of property located directly south of Massey Hall. This gritty urban plot, currently a surface parking lot and garbage storage area, is being offered by MOD Developments Inc. which intends to build a 60-storey condominium in the same downtown Toronto city block.
"It's a matter of being competitive with other venues, we need to keep pace," says Mr. Cutts, president and chief executive officer of Corp. of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall. "This gift of land is so valuable to us because we're street-bound on the other three sides." Mr. Cutts adds that Hart Massey had intended to purchase adjacent land for his concert hall, "but he couldn't reach what he thought was a fair price. So he built the hall the way it is and acquired the Albert Building beside it." The only direction for the landlocked venue to grow is directly south where the four-storey Albert Building now sits and where MOD owns a tract that stretches from Victoria Street over to a prime spot on Yonge Street.
MOD purchased the land – occupied by a derelict 1905 bank building and a parkette – from Parasuco Jeans Inc. of Montreal in January of 2012. MOD will restore the heritage building and construct a soaring condo above it. Branded as the Massey Tower, marketing for the upscale project plays on the significant musical heritage of its famous neighbour.

Gary Switzer, CEO of MOD Developments, says the portion of the land he's ceding to Massey Hall (the "Conveyed Lands" shown in the image above) has been appraised at about $6.5-million, however the not-for-profit organization won't incur any costs associated with accepting the gift.Phase 1 of Massey Hall's revitalization project is scheduled to start this summer with the demolition of the 1894 Albert Building. Work can then begin on a new two-level basement that will contain mechanical and electrical infrastructure, technical and production facilities, a loading dock, fire stairs, elevators, washrooms, a lobby and a new Victoria Street entrance. MOD will, at the same time, dig the basement for its condo tower.
The cost of the basement-foundation work is $35-million, according to Mr. Cutts. The federal and Ontario governments are pitching in $8-million each and the rest will come through fundraising, he says.
Once the basements are completed, MOD will continue to build its condo tower over a four-year period. Massey Hall will work on the restoration and rehabilitation of its Moorish Revival-style auditorium where crumbling plaster ceilings are being held in place with chicken wire. The original 1894 wooden seats (some as narrow as 19 inches) and 1948 upholstered seats will be replaced and sight lines improved. Massey Hall may also uncover 57 original art nouveau-style stained glass windows, which were boarded up about a century ago to block out daylight and street noise. Outside, the building's exterior fire escapes will be removed and the masonry restored.
Next would be construction of an annex of up to six storeys that will provide enhanced, accessible patron amenities including lobbies, a bar and hospitality spaces. The entire revitalization project is expected to last about seven years.
As Massey Hall embarks on this update, Mr. Cutts and his team are keenly aware that they can't mess with the venue's magical qualities including the intimacy between artist and audience and the excellent acoustics.
It's also a key reason why artists love performing there, says Jeff Craib, president of The Feldman Agency, which represents a diverse roster ranging from Diana Krall to The Tragically Hip.
"It's got the sort of aura that a Radio City or a Carnegie Hall would have. People tend to overlook what some would perceive as the blemishes… that the seats are old and it's kind of funky in there. But that's part of the aura of playing in a place with history," Mr. Craib says.
As MOD's condo proposal heads toward the finish line – Toronto city council votes on it mid-July – Massey Hall will likely take ownership of the small strip of land by late summer or early fall, Mr. Switzer says.
• Massey Hall was built in 1894 by industrial baron Hart Massey in memory of his eldest son, Charles Albert.
• The three-storey, red-brick structure was designed by architect Sidney Rose Badgley and is a rare surviving example of a concert hall with classical features associated with the early 19th-century Palladian style.
• Massey Hall was home to the Toronto Symphony and the Toronto Mendelsson Choir, and has played host to the likes of George Gershwin, Oscar Peterson, Glenn Gould, the Dalai Lama and Gordon Lightfoot.

OPI Signs Deal With Mariah Carey
By Lindsey Schickner 08/09/12 at 02:30 PM

Mariah Carey.
From the Muppets to Minnie Mouse, OPI nabs the real-life Ms. Mariah Carey for its next nail collaboration.
Following a line with Nicki Minaj, the nail brand is going for another chart-topping vocalist for its next line of lacquers.
WWD reports that the superstar singer signed on for two nail polish collections, both launching next year.
The first collection of eight shades will hit OPI salons, spas and retailers worldwide in January, followed by another collection later in the year.
After taking some time off to get married and give birth to twins, Carey is slated to make a comeback with a new album releasing soon, so the timing of her beauty collab could not have been better planned.
Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, executive vice president and artistic director of OPI tells WWD, "Nails are part of her personality. I really have always looked for celebrities for whom nails are very important, and it is not something you just Photoshop on a picture. She was very much part of the color selection."
Mariah fans since 'Always Be My Baby' hit number one in '96, we can't wait for the Grammy Award-winner's sure-to-be glittery and glam polishes.

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | The New York Times swooned. Newsweek put it on its cover. Commentators everywhere expressed sorrowful dismay that President Bush had not done it long ago.
Indeed, one has to admire it — the most cynical and brilliantly delivered apology in recent memory: Richard Clarke using the nationally televised Sept. 11 commission hearings to address the families of the victims. "Your government failed you, those entrusted with protecting you failed you and I failed you."
Many were moved. I was not. For two reasons. First, the climactic confession "I failed you" — the one that packed the emotional punch — was entirely disingenuous. Clarke did the mea culpa and then spent the next 21/2 hours of testimony — as he did on every talk show known to man and in the 300 pages of his book — demonstrating how everyone else except him had failed. And they failed because the stubborn, ignorant, ideologically blinkered, poll-driven knaves and fools he had been heroically fighting against within the government would not listen to him.
Bill Clinton did not apologize for Oklahoma City. Ronald Reagan did not apologize for the Beirut bombing. FDR did not apologize for Pearl Harbor. George W. Bush owes no apology. If an apology is owed, it is owed to the entire country and not just the families, and it is owed by the murderers who planned and carried out Sept. 11.
The most telling remark Clarke made in the entire hearing was one that did not make the cover of Newsweek.
Former senator Slade Gorton: "Assuming that the recommendations that you made on January 25th of 2001 . . . had all been adopted say on January 26th, year 2001, is there the remotest chance that it would have prevented 9/11?"
Thus, doing everything demanded by the most hawkish, most prescient, most brilliant, most heroic, most swaggering anti-terrorism chief in American history — i.e. Clarke, in his own mind — would not have prevented Sept. 11. Why, then, should the administration apologize?
What exactly was the failure? What was Bush supposed to do to prevent Sept. 11? Invade Afghanistan? Clarke has expressed outrage at Bush's preemptive invasion of Iraq. So: Bush deserves excoriation for preemptively invading Iraq based on massive, universally accepted intelligence of its weapons, to say nothing of its hostility and virulence; and, simultaneously, Bush deserves excoriation for not preemptively attacking Afghanistan on the basis of . . . what? Increased terrorist chatter in the summer of 2001?
At the hearing, Clarke was particularly brilliant in playing to the gallery, mainly to the families in the gallery. By some strange cultural transmutation, the families — or more accurately, a small number of politically active families — have claimed, and been ceded, special status in the war on terrorism.
Surely they deserve our sympathy and our care. And they have received an extraordinary, indeed unprecedented, outpouring of both from the public and from the government. But some families go much further and claim the moral high ground in judging the war on terrorism and how it is to be waged.
On what grounds? Did the Pearl Harbor families enjoy special status in critiquing FDR's decisions in World War II? The Oklahoma City families were denied any special status at all — they never got compensation of the sort the Sept. 11 families received.
Just this week came the news that the widow of Daniel Pearl was denied a claim for similar government compensation, on the grounds that while Pearl was surely a victim of the war on terrorism — and was, in fact, engaged in it by pursuing the truth about those waging war against us — he happened to die on a date other than Sept. 11.
Clarke's clever pseudo-apology — we failed, meaning, they failed — played perfectly to the families in the gallery, who applauded and warmly embraced the very man who for 12 years was the U.S. government official most responsible for preventing a Sept. 11. A neat trick.

Indian River County, FL – Vero Beach Man Arrested for Stealing from Home Depot
Indian River County, FL (November 20, 2018) – In Indian River County, a Vero Beach man was arrested after stealing $16,000 from multiple Home Depot stores. The man, identified as 36-year-old Andrew Paquette, was arrested and charged with 17 felonies.
At the time of the incidents, the man would allegedly enter stores and select power tools so that he could later return them. Many of the items that he stole would be pawned. He has been charged with grand theft, dealing in stolen property, and giving false information to a pawnbroker.
Paquette made 78 fraudulent returns or thefts in various Home Depot locations. Paquette was also accused of hiding from officers when they arrived to arrest him, which is what led to resisting arrest charges.
Indian River County Grand Theft Laws

These serious crimes are seen as a felony offense with penalties that can result in prison time, probation, fines, restitution, and more.

Q: Which version of squid should I choose? There are 3 squid releases in squid's official website: 2.7, 3.0 and 3.1.
I am confused, which one should I choose?

A: You will need to go with 3.1 if you want to proxy IPv6 traffic.  Otherwise, I would install the latest version packaged for your distribution.

A: Choose whichever one has packages in your chosen distributions repo.  Preferably ones that get maintained.  Or just choose the latest ;)

A: With 2.x versions of Squid certain interactive features, such as Google's instant search do not work correctly. Hopefully, you are using a recent enough distro where 3.x is an option.

A: Squid 3.0 has NTLM auth using LDAP, that is very very cool if you have a windows network behind squid.

A: Depends on your use case. There are a number of features that exist in 2.7 and not yet in 3.x because they were in part developed in parallel. I'd start reading at the Squid 2.7 link and compare on the functionality you need. One of the reasons I've stuck with 2.7 is because of StaleWhileRevalidate but most users are looking more for controlling content and 3.x tends to do that better.

Anti-Vaxxers: Singular in Focus, Varied in Argument
— Four distinct types of anti-vaccination content seen in Facebook posts

Anti-vaccination messages on Facebook could be divided into four distinct themes: trust, alternative, safety, and conspiracy, according to researchers who analyzed comments posted in response to a pediatrics clinic's pro-vaccination video.
A small sampling of these messages on Facebook found that "anti-vaxxers" had qualitatively different types of arguments that cater to a wide variety of audiences, reported Brian Primack, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and colleagues.
However, the one commonality was that all were distrustful of physicians and the medical community, the authors wrote in Vaccine.
The World Health Organization (WHO) lists "vaccine hesitancy" as one of its 10 threats to global health in 2019, and indeed, Primack and colleagues cited the "considerable rise in the rate of nonmedical exemptions from school immunization requirements" in the U.S.
They noted that while prior research has focused on either anti-vaccination content on Twitter, comments in response to celebrity posts, and Facebook groups, the characteristics of individuals posting anti-vaccination content on Facebook has not been thoroughly examined.
"We want to understand vaccine-hesitant parents in order to give clinicians the opportunity to optimally and respectfully communicate with them about the importance of immunization," Primack said in a statement. "If we dismiss anybody who has an opposing view, we're giving up an opportunity to understand them and come to a common ground."
Primack and colleagues examined the profiles of 197 individuals who posted anti-vaccination comments on a Pittsburgh pediatrics practice's Facebook page in response to a video promoting the vaccine against HPV. These were among "thousands" posted over a period of 8 days considered anti-vaccination, "which we defined as being either (1) threatening (e.g., 'you'll burn in hell for killing babies') and/or (2) extremist (e.g., 'you have been brainwashed')," the group explained.
Among the 197 randomly chosen for analysis ("in order to feasibly conduct in-depth quantitative assessment"), they found a large majority of these commenters were women, and almost 80% were parents. About 30% reported an occupation and a little under a quarter reported a post-secondary education. Of the 55 individuals whose political affiliation could be determined, 56% identified as supporters of Donald Trump, while 11% identified as supporters of Bernie Sanders.
There were 116 individuals who had at least one public anti-vaccination post from 2015-2017, with posts about "educational material," or claims that doctors are uneducated and parents need to educate themselves were the most popular (73%), followed by "media, censorship, and 'cover up'" or the suggestion that pharmaceutical manufacturers, government, and physicians deliberately fail to disclose adverse vaccine reactions (71%) and "vaccines cause idiopathic illness," claiming kids who are not vaccinated get less illness (69%).
The four overarching themes were more specifically:
Trust: emphasizing suspicion about the scientific community, concerns about personal liberty
Alternatives: focusing on chemicals in vaccines, use of homeopathic remedies over vaccination
Safety: perceived risks and concerns about vaccination being immoral
Conspiracy: that government "hides" information that anti-vaccination groups believe to be facts
Co-author Beth Hoffman, BSc, also of the University of Pittsburgh, said that these groups "caution against a blanket approach to public health messages that encourage vaccination."
"Telling someone in the 'trust' subgroup that vaccines don't cause autism may alienate them because that isn't their concern to begin with. Instead, it may be more effective to find common ground and deliver tailored messages related to trust and the perception [that] mandatory vaccination threatens their ability to make decisions for their child," she said in a statement.
Limitations to the data include that these only reflect commenters who responded to a single pro-vaccination video, and do not necessarily reflect "broader discussions of anti-vaccination issues on Facebook." Demographic data was self-reported, and could not be authenticated, they noted.
The authors disclosed no conflicts of interest.

Title: Do Parental Resources Moderate the Relationship Between Women's Income and First Birth?
Do Parental Resources Moderate the Relationship Between Women's Income and First Birth?
Research suggests that women's delayed entry into parenthood is attributable to higher educational attainment and labor market status. We examine the extent that parental resources moderate the relationship between women's income and the timing of first birth in a liberal and social democratic welfare state. Results from Cox regressions using the 1979 US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the Finnish Census Panel data show that parental resources and women's income are associated with delayed entry into parenthood. Further, in both countries parental resources are associated with delayed parenthood among low-income women, but with earlier parenthood among high-income women. However, the parental resource that moderates this relationship differs by the level of public family support. In the US, material resources, i.e. parental income, are associated with delayed first birth among low-income women. In contrast, immaterial resources, i.e. parental education, are associated with postponed parenthood among low-income women in Finland.

Q: How to use noscript tag with ScriptBundle I've used scriptBundle in my code like this
var ideaGaugesBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/Content/scripts/external/gauges/ideaGaugesBundle")

Fill a bowl with hot water and submerge the husks to soften.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, mix 2 tbsp. chili powder and the tomato paste into 6 cups cold water; add the pork. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Transfer to a plate; reserve the broth. Shred the meat and transfer to a bowl.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. Stir in 1 tbsp. chili powder, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, cumin and garlic powder; cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in 1 cup of the reserved broth; combine with the meat.
In a large bowl, mix the masa, the remaining 1 tbsp. chili powder, 1 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of the broth. Using a wooden spoon, beat in the remaining 1 1/2 cups oil.
Drain the husks; pat dry. Working with one husk at a time, spread about 1/4 cup of the masa mixture down the center. Top with 2 tbsp. meat. Fold the long sides of the husk together and roll into a skinny log. Fold up the bottom, creating a package that is open on top. Loosely tie three tamales together with a piece of kitchen string, making 12 bundles.
Place a heatproof 2-cup glass measuring cup upside down in the center of an 8-qt. stockpot. Stand the tamale bundles, open ends up, around the cup. Fill the pot with the remaining broth and water to reach halfway up the sides of the tamales. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the masa is firm and pulls away from the husk easily, about 1 hour. Serve hot, with some of the cooking liquid.

One of the many questions I get from friends and family is what it means to be an influencer. To the average person, it seems outrages that you can make a living, aka a career out of "blogging". Compared to your 9 to 5 desk job people automatically assume it must be an easy job. Some even go as far as saying that "it must be nice having a job where all you have to do is look pretty", but this could not be further from the truth.
Since we bought our new home a little over 1 year ago my inner interior designer came out, making my home makeover simple and fun. We have done quite a few improvements/makeovers—but our current project is probably my favorite. Our kitchen.
Last weekend my family and I had the opportunity to visit the Ice Castles in Lake Geneva, WI. We received VIP passes which means we were able to go before it opens to the public. My husband and I took this opportunity to take incredible pictures, as well as have our boys play and run around. Throughout Ice Castles are a series of tunnels + an amazing slide for all ages to enjoy!
Let's face it: Dry shampoo is a girl's best friend. As a mom of two I can definitely need a little spritz of TRESemmé Volumizing Dry Shampoo, infused with mineral clay and citrus, to keep my hair fresh and clean! It instantly refreshes your hair between washes—consider it my secret weapon!

Last Thursday I was on Times Square in New York where all media outlets have their headquarters. It was 10 a.m., when on any other day the crowds would be bustling and hurrying about. But that Thursday was different. Thousands of onlookers were frozen to the spot, as if hypnotized by the images displayed on the giant television screens on the surrounding buildings. Never have the American people been so stunned in the face of an event since humankind's first steps on the moon and the September 11 attacks. And this recent affair will probably be just as major a turning point in history as Neil Armstrong's mission.

Meet the Past
Traditional Patriots Week Postponed Until 2021
The Battle of Trenton reenactment cannot be safely performed during the coronavirus pandemic.
With the continuing spikes in COVID-19, as well as uncompromising restrictions, Trenton Downtown Association has announced that the traditional events associated with Patriots Week, including the reenactment of the Battle of Trenton, are postponed until 2021.
Patriots Week, which celebrates Trenton's consequential role in the Revolutionary War with more than 70 events, will return in 2021.
"Patriots Week attracts thousands of history buffs and tourists from across the region and beyond to Trenton. It's a wonderful, unifying, family-friendly celebration packed with all kinds of activities, from a Colonial Ball to a pub crawl, a musket demonstration to a puppet show," says Tom Gilmour, executive director of Trenton Downtown Association (TDA), the nonprofit that promotes and coordinates Patriots Week each year.
"No matter how many times we tried to re-create the 70-plus events that normally take place during Patriots Week, the major event of the week, the reenactment, cannot be safely performed in today's environment," explains Gilmour.
"We are happy to announce that the time and unused funds from not operating the event in 2020 will be redeployed in planning for enhancing Patriots Week 2021. The vision of those planning efforts is to reposition the City of Trenton as a 'must see' destination during the United States' semiquincentennial celebration of the war in 2025," adds Gilmour.
Virtual events celebrating Trenton's Revolutionary history can be found at www.patriotsweek.com

Q: "all of that" instead of "all of which" The following is an excerpt from the website.

Disneyland, all of which belongs to the Disney Company, is located in Anaheim.

While I am aware of "all of which", "some of which", etc. usages, I think I've never heard of "all of that".

Disneyland, all of that belongs to the Disney Company, is located in Anaheim.

I believe the second sentence is grammatically wrong. A thought occured to me that it may be related to the nonrestrictive usage of relative pronoun. "That" cannot be used as nonrestrictive one.(after comma)
Can anyone please verify this?

A: Your are correct in this context.  Personally, I think the "all of which" is too much and in actual communication you would just say:

Disneyland, owned by the Disney Corporation, is located in Anaheim.

But I get that site is just offering examples using "all of which".  "All of that" is not grammatically incorrect, though.  That is a generic pronoun which, in this use, would refer to some previously mentioned subject.

(After reading a long book) It took a long time, but I'm glad I read all of that.
(Looking over an area of new houses) All of that was built in the last three years.
Less stringent environmental controls leads to increased pollution in Asia, and all of that eventually turns into smog over parts of North America.

Of course, in the third sentence, you could more efficiently say

"... Asia, all of which eventually turns into smog ..."

How to Expand Your Reach with Newsletter Advertising
As marketers search for creative ways to reach new leads, newsletter advertising is becoming a staple in the industry. With effective targeting and high engagement rates, this up-and-coming medium is an effective choice for advertisers of all sizes and budgets.
While newsletter advertising has gained popularity among growing startups like AppSumo, it's also a go-to for top brands like Lyft and Warby Parker. However, despite its high performance and adoption by leading marketers, its potential is largely untapped.
Because of the lack of education surrounding newsletter advertising, many marketers neglect email in favor of more mainstream, competitive platforms. However, with the right approach, investing in email advertising can help you reach more qualified audiences and get ahead of competitors.
What is newsletter advertising?
Newsletter advertising is the process of placing sponsored content in email newsletters to get in front of subscribers. Unlike other forms of digital marketing, newsletter ads are delivered straight to their audience's inboxes. Because of this, they'll often reach readers more directly, bypassing any ad blocking measures.
The Paved platform offers two main types of newsletter advertisements: sponsorships and programmatic ads.
Newsletter sponsorships are coordinated via a partnership between the publisher and the advertiser. Because each sponsorship campaign is organized individually, they can be custom designed for the newsletter partner. Some publishers will even help tweak the sponsorship design and copy to fit their publication's style and appeal to readers.

Just like sponsorships, programmatic email ads are placed within the body of newsletters to directly reach engaged audiences. However, they're more similar to social media ads due to their automation, scalability and precise targeting. Whereas sponsorships are coordinated on an individual basis, programmatic ads allow advertisers to run placements across multiple newsletters with a single campaign.

Why newsletter advertising beats other marketing channels
Not only is newsletter advertising a fresh and creative way to reach new audiences, but it also has its share of practical benefits. The advantages of newsletter advertising make it a worthwhile investment for brands in both the short and long-term.
The first step in converting new customers is figuring out where to find potential leads. Unfortunately, the rise of VPNs and privacy companies have made it increasingly difficult to connect with audiences online.
According to data by Hootsuite, roughly 42.7% of internet users use an ad blocker. With newsletter advertising, that's not a problem. By delivering your message in the body of a trusted newsletter, you can market to audiences who can't be reached through social media or display ads.
Leverage heightened engagement
One of the most valuable aspects of newsletters is their level of reader engagement. It's not easy to convince someone to give you their email. Therefore, opting in to receive a newsletter is a much stronger signal of interest than liking a page or following an account.
Because newsletter readers are more engaged, email marketing tends to outperform other channels in ROI. Litmus' 2020 State of Email report calculated an average return of $36 for every $1 spent on email marketing.
Access built-in targeting
Email newsletter lists are often inherently targeted due to their niche content. On the Paved platform, many publishers run interest-focused newsletters based on topics like programming or yoga. Incidentally, this creates a neatly packaged audience that advertisers can leverage for their campaigns.
Programmatic ads allow you to target your audiences even more precisely. On the Paved Ad Network, you can define your target audience, budget and frequency cap. From there, you'll be able to automatically display your ad in front of individual readers across several newsletters based on their demographic profile.
Join a marketplace to launch your newsletter advertising strategy
Joining a marketplace is the quickest and easiest way to start advertising in newsletters. Instead of reaching out to publishers individually, you'll be able to request, design and schedule multiple sponsorships in one place.
On the Paved marketplace, you can browse hundreds of newsletters to find the right partner for your brand. Once you've booked a campaign, you can exchange messages, send payment and automatically track results through the platform.

Twitter has rolled out longer tweets to Twitter Blue subscribers in the US, with paying users now able to post tweets up to 4,000 characters in length.
If anyone needed or wanted that.
Longer tweets will be displayed in the main feed at standard length, with a 'Show more…' indicator pointing users to the remainder of the content.
Honestly, it's sadly ironic that not even Twitter could come up with a good use of the extra characters in its example, but yes, Twitter Blue users – all 300,000 of them – will now be able to post super long rants about whatever they choose in the app.
As explained by Twitter:
"[Twitter Blue users] can also compose longer Tweets in a Quote Tweet or reply. Standard functionality like posting media, creating polls, and using hashtags still apply. Everyone will be able to read longer Tweets, but only Blue subscribers can create them."
I don't know if anyone requested this, but Twitter 2.0 chief Elon Musk seems convinced that by enabling users to post long-form content, that will eventually open up new avenues to monetization, and will see more top voices posting more stuff to the app.
I mean, the recent Twitter Files are probably the best example – Elon's hand-picked team of journalists have been trawling through Twitter's archives to uncover accusations of corruption and Government meddling, all ended up posting their findings in ridiculously long tweet threads in the app.
It would make more sense to post them on a more long-form focused format, but Musk obviously wants all the attention on Twitter – and in instances like this, maybe having longer tweets could be valuable.
But I don't know.
It also seems short-sighted to only provide this functionality to Twitter Blue users. As noted, only a small fraction of Twitter's 250 milllion total user base is paying for a blue tick, and while Twitter is now expanding the offering into new markets, it's hard to see it catching on in any real way.
That means that a lot of the most popular creators won't even be able to use the option, which seems counterintuitive. But then again, Elon will probably look to add in a new monetization element, which you have to pay up to qualify for, which is probably his broader view for limiting access at this stage.
Who knows – maybe it ends up being amazing, and maybe it makes it way easier to post what would have been multi-tweet threads in a more engaging, interesting way in the app.
It's different, for sure, very different from Twitter's usual offering.
Ad data and analytics provider DoubleVerify (DV) is building the right side of a cup base with a buy point of 32.53. The growth stock is today's selection for IBD 50 Stocks to Watch.
DoubleVerify has a strong Composite Rating of 94 and a Relative Strength Rating of 89. Its stellar EPS Rating of 96 is even better.
Company sales grew 35% to $112.3 million in the third quarter while earnings per share of 6 cents grew 20% from the previous year.
On Jan. 10, analysts at Barclays upgraded the stock to overweight from equal weight with a price target of 29. Shares gapped up over 6% on the news, and the move helped the stock start its recovery from the January low.
Growth Stock Surges After Finding Fraud Scheme
DoubleVerify helps advertising companies that target users on video, mobile, and social media platforms. The company also has an analytics side that provides data on consumer engagement.
The digital media analytics platform ensures that ads reach their target customers in a safe way. This means that ads reach actual people with the right context. The software also has tools to adapt ads to different devices.
Its technology also seeks to address ad fraud. On Thursday, the company discovered "BeatSting," the first large-scale ad-impression fraud scheme that targeted audio ads.
DV Fraud Lab first identified the fraud scheme in 2019, which is largely responsible for advertisers losing $20 million in several scams, according to reports. DoubleVerify was credited for unveiling the fraud. Shares last Thursday surged nearly 4% in strong volume.
Deals With Twitter, LinkedIn, Meta, Facebook
The company has partnered with leading social media and mobile platforms like LinkedIn and TikTok to improve ad impact and experience. DoubleVerify has a long-standing relationship with Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META). The social media platform faced a massive boycott in 2020 when several companies removed their ads due to concerns over their brand safety.
In June of last year, DoubleVerify brought features that will allow marketers to see where their ads appear in a user's timeline. The feature uses artificial-intelligence tools to understand the context in which ads appear. The feature also enhanced brand safety and attracted Twitter and other social media platforms to try it out. Nonetheless, marketers did not buy in entirely, according to reports, as Twitter's ad revenue continued to struggle.
The growth stock ranks second in the specialty enterprise software group. The stock went public in April 2021. The New York-based company has locations in the U.S., U.K., Europe, Asia, Australia and South America.
Mutual funds own 39% of shares outstanding. That may not seem like much, but more funds have been picking up the growth stock over the past eight quarters, according to MarketSmith. The stock has an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B-.
Exchange traded funds hold shares of DoubleVerify as well. The Invesco S&P Small Cap Information Technology ETF (PSCT) and the SPDR FactSet Innovative Technology ETF (XITK) own DV.

YouTube has added a new time targeting element to its Masthead Ads, which will enable brands to display their promotions in key times leading up to key events.
As explained by YouTube:
"In a time of multiple screens and countless ways to stay entertained, it can be challenging to get your audience's attention. But even with so much content available at any time, people are drawn to moments they can experience together: a new movie release, a big game, a product launch, a holiday. And these are key opportunities to connect with a brand. Marketers, you know this well: you center advertising campaigns around the tentpole moments most likely to inspire your audience, shift perceptions or influence a purchase decision."
YouTube's Cost-Per-Hour Masthead enables brands to own the most prominent placement in the app during the hour(s) leading up to, during or after priority moments.
"[During the recent World Cup], McDonald's Brazil turned to the YouTube Cost-Per-Hour Masthead. Their strategy was savvy: reach anyone in Brazil who was watching YouTube an hour before the Brazil vs. Cameroon match and remind them to pick up McDonald's before the game started. This perfectly timed execution delivered tens of millions of impressions at the very moment fans were preparing for the match."
It could be a good way to hook into key moments, and build momentum for your campaigns, while also establishing association with key events and subjects.
"Just a few weeks ago, Xiaomi, the leading smartphone manufacturer in India, prepared to launch their highly anticipated Redmi Note 12 series via YouTube livestream. To drive viewership, Xiaomi ran the Cost-Per-Hour Masthead during the event. Not only did this activation drive scaled awareness, it led to over 90,000 concurrent livestream views.

Industrial Internet Consortium announces first energy-focused testbed.
The Communication and Control Testbed for Microgrid Applications, the first energy-focused testbed, was today [Mar 27/2015] announced by the Industrial Internet Consortium.
Member organisations including Real-Time Innovations (RTI), National Instruments, and Cisco, will collaborate on the project, working with power utility firms CPS Energy and Southern California Edison. Additionally, Duke Energy and power industry organisation Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) will be also involved.
In order to put an end to renewable energy waste in neighbourhoods or businesses, a new architectural innovation was found to be needed.
Today's power grid relies on a central-station architecture, which is not designed to interconnect distributed and renewable power sources such as roof-top solar and wind turbines. The system must over-generate power to compensate for rapid variation in power generation or demands.
The Communication and Control Testbed will introduce the flexibility of real-time analytics and control to increase efficiencies, ensuring that power is generated more accurately and reliably to match demand.
The solution proposes re-architecting electric power grids to include a series of distributed microgrids which will control smaller areas of demand with distributed generation and storage capacity.
These microgrids will operate independently from the main electric power grid, but will still interact and be coordinated with the existing infrastructure.
In order to ensure a coordinated, accepted architecture based on modern, cross-industry industrial internet technologies, companies taking part in the venture will work with Duke Energy and SGIP.
The Communications and Control framework will be developed in three phases, with initial developments being tested in Southern California Edison's Controls Lab in Westminster, CA.
The final stage of the project will culminate in a field deployment that will take place at CPS Energy's "Grid-of-the-Future" microgrid test area in San Antonio, Texas.
Stan Schneider, RTI's CEO and IIC Steering Committee member, said: "The smart grid is a critical infrastructure component of the Industrial Internet of Things.

Furnace Masters
The name ANDRITZ is one widely recognized today as a global leader in the supply of plants, equipment, and services for nearly every municipal and industrial sector in the world. In this conversation, we take a look specifically at their metals division, one of the few single-source providers capable of delivering all technologies and processes involved in the manufacturing of steel strip. Eric Blake, Vice President of Process Technology for ANDRITZ METALS, sits down to expand upon the factors behind his company's ability to provide the highest of quality in metal forming technology year after year.
Click here to read the complete illustrated article as originally published or scroll down to read the text article.
The Andritz Group was first established all the way back in 1852 by the Hungarian entrepreneur Josef Korosi in Andritz, a suburb of the city of Graz, Austria. Beginning as a small iron foundry, the company's initial production program focused on large capital goods, such as cranes, pumps, and water turbines, and later was extended to bridges, steam boilers, engines, and mining equipment.
The company evolved greatly from there, gaining global recognition with the introduction of the first cold rolling mill in 1912. The rest of the 20th century featured more of the same, with ANDRITZ rolling out a number of metal products—amongst others—that were the first of their kind, including an electrolytic pickling line for stainless steel designed in 1952, a 20-high rolling mill in 4-column design in 1958, a push pickling line for carbon steel in 1964, and a mixed acid recovery plant in 1990.
Comprehensive Capability
And as we stand in 2016, ANDRITZ METALS has only continued this tradition of innovation. "ANDRITZ METALS is a company that provides complete solutions to its clients' needs," says Blake, adding, "From initial engineering studies and analyses, through project management, construction, and commissioning, to training the operators, we are able to cover all aspects of designing and building many types of industrial equipment."
At the center of ANDRITZ METALS' success is their line of furnace products designed for the primary cast houses part of smelter plants, secondary cast houses, and recycling facilities. "We are particularly renowned for our large round-top melt furnaces, whose capacities can go up `to 140 tons and are viewed as critical components to the success of high volume facilities," he says. High volume facilities are considered such if they produce more than 200,000 tons per year.
In fact, the company was the original developers of the round-top charge aluminum melting furnaces. Initially used for high volume canstock production, this furnace has found a new identity with the emergence of aluminum in the automotive industries as well as others.
The design of the round-top furnaces and their relatively rapid rise to becoming the "standard" in high production cast houses was an important development not only for ANDRITZ, but their customers as well. See, prior to these furnaces becoming available for use, the aluminum industry was forced to employ far less capable rectangular front door charge furnaces, simply because they were the only technology available at the time. "With the rectangular furnace types, users had difficulty charging, and the larger the furnace the greater the difficulty they experienced," says Blake.
Product Evolution
Blake adds that despite the great success of their first generation model, ANDRITZ's round-top furnaces are a "product that we, much like many of our other products, have continuously evolved over time, with the newest form being our third generation round-top charge furnaces that have regenerative burner systems that utilize 50 percent less energy to melt per ton of aluminum compared to the first generation we produced." Running alongside this furnace line are the company's HiTEQ furnaces as well, an all-in-one product that can melt chips, ingots, sows, and return material in a single furnace, while giving users the option to control ratios.
It's this kind of commitment to product development and innovation that ultimately sets ANDRITZ apart in the market, as Blake says that the main reason many of their customers choose them is because of their capability to not only deliver a high quality furnace, but one with a completely engineered system that can do it all. "We consider ourselves to possess a broad knowledge base with respect to the aluminum market, which effectively enables us to combine important technologies together to deliver a turn-key solution to our customer."
Fueling this ability is ANDRITZ's expansive R&D presence, which features over 1,000 personnel around the world dedicated entirely to the pursuit of enhanced product excellence. Most recently developed is the company 3MAX system for their aluminum furnaces, a technology that reduces dross formation in large aluminum melters. "As you can see throughout our history, innovation and the ability to adapt our products to new and emerging needs in the market is a huge strength of ours, and this 3MAX system is no different."
Effective Installation
But aside from product quality and innovation, one of the company's chief skills is their ability to seamlessly and efficiently install their furnace products in the facilities of their customers. "Because the furnaces we make are so big, they often have to be assembled at the actual production facility of our clients," says Blake, adding, "So as a result, we have a team of dedicated site managers, engineers, and supervisors that are deployed to sites all around the world to manage the construction, which can include assembly of the casing, lining the furnaces with bricks, monolithic refractory, and big block services depending on their needs."
Given their non-compromising approach to quality, all of their on-site engineers are ISO certified and Blake says that assembly jobs are constantly tracked and monitored from start to finish—after all, it's important to ensure that when everything comes together, each component fits as well as the manner in which it was designed.
Because of this comprehensive mindset—innovation, quality of product, and efficient, effective service—Blake says there's no shortage of "success stories" in his mind when thinking about ANDRITZ METALS competing in the global marketplace.
"If I had to choose a more recent example, I would point to one project we completed for a Chinese company called Weiqiao Aluminum in 2013." He says that, as part of ANDRITZ'S competitive spirit, the company was looking to set a new record in Asia with respect to installation time of a furnace. "By the furnace's third cast, it was producing 40-ton ingots, which were the largest of their size in Asia at the time," says Blake, adding, "and this was completed right out of the box, something that would have been impossible if not for our engineers, their own engineers, and casting machine suppliers working together towards a common goal—a successful installation of a product that works from dayone."
It's this kind of effort that ANDRITZ METALS puts on display in any kind of partnership it enters into, and is the reason why it's hard to not see the company continue to grow its market presence in North America and beyond. In today's world, most industrial companies point to either quality, innovation, or customer service as what drives their success. For ANDRITZ, however, they have it all.

A newly added "Endpoint Verification" feature in G Suite provides administrators with increased visibility into the computers that have access to corporate data.
Released for ChromeOS, macOS, and Windows, the new feature requires a Chrome extension to be installed. On macOS and Windows, the feature also requires a native application that works with the extension.
Users can install the extensions and the apps individually and admins can deploy them centrally, if needed, Google reveals.
Once it has been set up on user devices, Endpoint Verification provides admins with access to an inventory of desktop and laptop devices within the enterprise environment that can access corporate data. Additionally, it offers information such as screen lock, disk encryption, and OS version.
Through said Chrome extensions and native apps, Endpoint Verification collects information on the users' systems, and displays the information in a new report that becomes accessible via the Admin console.
All that an admin should do to access the available reports is to open the Admin console and visit the Device management > Endpoint Verification section.
"[Endpoint Verification is] a lightweight and easy solution for desktop and laptop device reporting, and we hope this visibility empowers admins to maintain a strong security posture for their organization," Google notes.
The search company is launching the new feature to both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release, for all G Suite Editions. The rollout, however, will be gradual, meaning that it might take up to 15 days for the functionality to become available in some cases.


(Andrews in Denver Post 7/1 and on Townhall.com 6/30) The "Titanic" exhibit got me ready for time travel, and the big burrito did the rest. A chair at poolside, a snooze in the sun, and suddenly I was back at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. All eyes were on John Adams as he addressed the Continental Congress: "Fellow delegates, today our drafting committee submits the proposed Declaration of Independence. You have Mr. Jefferson's text on your parchment laptops. Upon the motion of Lady Clinton from New York and Delegate Obama from the Illinois country, the draft underwent a political correctness audit by Bishop Bill Moyers of PBS Cathedral. Serious concerns arose.
"After consulting delegates Byrd of West Virginia, Kennedy of Massachusetts, and Gore of Tennessee, and with spiritual guidance from the Dixie Chicks, Moyers warned that the Declaration's belief in natural law, self-evident truth, God-given rights, limited government, and separate nationhood is woefully unsuited to the brave new world of coming centuries.
John Adams paused and sighed. Red-haired Tom Jefferson was pacing in the back. On the left where the relativist caucus sat, I saw Clinton and Obama exchange smirks. "No absolutes, Mr. Adams," Hillary prompted in a stage whisper. The future Vice President glared at her, raised an eyebrow at Dr. Franklin, his fellow drafter, and resumed.
"Keep your knickers on, milady," Adams hissed with Yankee sarcasm. "Madam Rodham refers to the amicus brief from ACLU, the Atheist Colonial Liberals Union, indicting the Declaration's brazen use of such value-laden terms as 'good' and 'evil,' 'savage' and 'civilized,' 'manly' and 'wholesome,' as well as the atheophobic term 'absolute' applied to His Majesty King George.
Then I woke, and the shouting was Colorado kids, not dour defeatists. Our ship of state didn't sink at launching after all. She sails on, proud and strong. Happy Independence Day, America.
