Saweetie wants to return to her alma mater as a college professor. Last week, ahead of her performance at the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York City, the “My Type” emcee confirmed that she is in talks to teach a course at the University of Southern California.
“The rumors are true,” she said of the chatter regarding her potential gig. “I would love to teach a class about branding, marketing in the modern day because it’s important for businesses to evolve with modern consumers, generations Z, the millennials. They are the people spending the money.”
Before starting her rap career, Saweetie attended USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and graduated in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in communications and a concentration in business. She’s since flaunted her business knowledge at her own “Icy University” aka instructional videos in which she teaches her fans how to start a business and be a “pretty bitch” and discusses sensitive topics like self-care and mental health. In June, she teamed up with esports company Gen G to host Icy Baby workshops about gaming, cooking, music, lifestyle, and fashion and beauty for Asian American entrepreneurs.
Then in October, the Bay Area rapper shared her knowledge with a few USC students when she paid the college a visit.
According to PEOPLE, Saweetie talked about her time at USC, how she’s “self-made” and even challenged students to impress her with their bottle-selling skills, offering a $1,000 cash prize to the winner. Unfortunately, no one took home the money, prompting her to leave some words of advice about connecting with consumers.

Doebs Pizzeria opens to dozens of eager customers in Holland
UPDATE: After going through 250 pounds of dough, Doebs announced it will be closed Saturday and reopen for business Tuesday after it restocks. Hours next week will be 4-9 p.m. as the business gets settled.
HOLLAND — Hollanders flocked on Friday to a new business they've been craving for years: a pizzeria.
"We're from Chicago, originally," said Ali Doebler, co-owner of Doebs Pizzeria, where her husband, Chris, is head chef. "We've found pizza places we've liked, but it's hit or miss. Finally, my husband was like, 'I can make a better pizza. We can do this.' And opening a restaurant has always been a goal of ours."
Chris has been in the restaurant industry for years, beginning his career in pizza before shifting to fine dining.
"He learned food combinations and expanded his vocabulary as a chef," Doebler said. "When he came here, he helped open a few places. We've kind of done all the parts of the restaurant — the front of house, the back of house. We always knew we wanted to open our own, but it was a matter of what, which changed over the years."
Doebs Pizzeria opened its doors Friday, Jan. 14, at 503 W. 17th St. — once home to Holland Lock and Safe. The opening was so busy, the restaurant had to close to prep more dough after two hours.
"When it was Holland Lock and Safe, there was a half-wall and we extended that to make an open kitchen, so you can see what we're doing," Doebler said. "Chris is really social and loves talking to people, so we really wanted that. But aside from that, we knocked almost everything out. It had a really great start though; we love it."
The menu at Doebs includes appetizers like cheese bread, meatballs and chicken wings — plus salads, sandwiches and, of course, pizza.
"It's fun because Chris can add cool toppings and change things up and make it more artisan," Doebler said. "We have a Detroit-style pizza that's really a marriage between Detroit and Chicago because it's thicker than traditional Detroit. And then we have hand-tossed and artisan thin crust. You can choose any of them, and we can put any toppings on."
The restaurant welcomed community members Thursday for an open house with free pizza slices. Going forward, a lunch special will be available 11 a.m.-4 p.m. with a slice of pizza, two garlic breadsticks and a pop for $5.50.
"We'll have seating, too," Doebler said. "We have one big community table in the middle right now, and we're building a bar in our front window and along the side wall. We'll also have take-out and online ordering, and eventually we want to do delivery."
Doebs Pizzeria is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays.
"We are so excited to be here," Doebler said. "We live really close to where the two lakes meet and we struggle with what we can get around us, so we're excited to be part of this southside group."

BMEX Airdrops for All
Bitcoin prices have skyrocketed in the past year. On the other hand, investors using online cryptocurrency trading platform Torque, run by a Singaporean businessman, are reporting millions of dollars lost in cryptocurrencies. A: They are digital assets that are not issued by any government and are not backed by any asset or issuer. They are secured by cryptography so they cannot be forged. Cryptocurrencies use blockchain technology, which involves a public digital ledger distributed across many computers connected in an online network.
All the computers have a copy of the ledger, so any transaction is recorded and added to this shared list of transactions. Anybody in the network can become a "miner" and use computing resources to solve complex mathematical problems to verify cryptocurrency transactions. A: People can buy cryptocurrencies using cash at exchanges and specific ATMs. The tokens can also be mined by verifying transactions.
The digital assets have been used to pay for goods and services, while some people have bought them as an investment product. It is not clear how many businesses here accept cryptocurrency payments. But Ms Zann Kwan, a board member of the Association of Cryptocurrency Enterprises and Start-ups Access , Singapore, said that they include professional services companies like accounting firms, architectural firms and even online companies selling baby products.
Since payments can be made directly, transactions can be faster and costs can be lowered as the middlemen facilitating the payments are cut out. Bitcoin represents about 60 per cent of the total capitalisation of cryptocurrencies in March, said Europe's largest asset manager Amundi. The bitcoin network was established in , in the wake of the global financial crisis. It has a limited supply, which is fixed at 21 million units. This limit is expected to be reached in the year A: Cryptocurrencies can be bought and sometimes sold for cash at certain ATMs in Singapore, for a fee.
The first bitcoin ATM was set up here in Some ATMs here also support other types of cryptocurrencies such as for ether, litecoin and tether. The ATMs have some safeguards, such as requiring users to verify their identities. They also set limits on the amount that can be transacted. A: The price of bitcoin has jumped per cent in the past year. The meteoric rise has been fuelled by institutional investors and investment funds that view bitcoin as an alternative portfolio diversifier and an asset to store value.
But some experts have argued against such functions for bitcoin. Other factors include major companies, such as electric carmaker Tesla, increasingly adopting the token, as well as interest from retail investors in general.
Investments in digital tokens have also grown. But in late January , the Payment Services Act, which regulates cryptocurrency service providers, among other things, came into force. But these service providers are regulated primarily for money laundering and terrorism financing risks, given the anonymity, speed and cross-border nature of transactions that cryptocurrencies facilitate, said MAS.
Digital token intermediaries that buy, sell or facilitate the exchange of the tokens must identify and verify their customers, monitor transactions, keep records and report suspicious transactions.
Amundi warned clients last week that Group of 7 governments are determined to regulate cryptocurrencies and this could lead to a potentially "brutal" adjustment in their prices.
In August last year, Access rolled out a set of guidelines to help digital asset players strengthen regulatory compliance. Ms Kwan said the practices outlined include performing greater due diligence on customers, such as those whose transactions exceed a certain limit. Cryptocurrency service providers should also monitor the addresses they transact with to ensure that the digital tokens they receive are not from illegal sources.
A: When contacted regarding cryptocurrency offences under the Payment Services Act, the police said that, so far, there is one convicted case - a year-old Singaporean woman who was found guilty on Jan 28 and sentenced to four weeks' jail. She does not have a licence to provide any type of payment services in Singapore and is not exempted under the Act.
The police warned job seekers to be wary of job advertisements that promise the convenience of working from home with an unbelievably high salary for relatively simple job responsibilities. These acts are common ruses used by scammers to have individuals carry out illicit payment transfers on their behalf," said the police. A: Many companies and finance experts do not think cryptocurrencies like bitcoin will be adopted widely soon partly because of their high price volatility, which could translate to not just large potential gains but also huge losses very quickly.
There are also issues with storing them securely since there have been high-profile hacks of and thefts from cryptocurrency exchanges, as well as challenges in accounting for the tokens.
Safety concerns have prompted some people to store cryptocurrencies in their own personal devices, like secure thumbdrives and harddrives, that are cut off from the Internet to prevent hacking. Even then, there is still the issue of losing passwords to access the digital assets on the devices, which has already resulted in some people potentially losing access to hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of bitcoins.
Ms Kwan said that if passwords to keep the tokens safe are lost, there is no entity that can help to retrieve the cryptocurrencies. The digital tokens have a very negative impact on the environment, too, because of how energy intensive they can be. For example, it is estimated that mining bitcoins consumes more electricity than the entire Belgian economy, said Amundi.
Cryptocurrencies have also been linked to illegal online activity - such as money laundering and terrorism financing - as transactions involving them are hard to trace. Amundi noted that cryptocurrencies are reminiscent of the "free banking" experience in the United States in the 19th century in which banks were allowed to issue their own currencies. The coexistence of several currencies was a source of great financial instability until the creation of the US Federal Reserve in A: Singapore's Payment Services Act does not specifically offer consumer protection when it comes to cryptocurrencies, but MAS has issued advisories to warn the public of the risks of investing in them.
This is especially so for consumers who may not be familiar with the underlying technology or how the investment schemes are structured. Cryptocurrency service providers licensed under the Act have to also show warnings to consumers to alert them to the risks of trading in cryptocurrencies. Ms Kwan said that investors need to understand that cryptocurrency prices could fluctuate substantially very quickly.
On bitcoin, the financial regulator previously said that "if bitcoin ceases to operate, there may not be an identifiable party responsible for refunding consumers their monies or Investors should carefully assess whether an investment in cryptocurrencies is suitable for their investment objectives and risk appetite, said the regulator.
People who suspect an investment involving cryptocurrencies could be fraudulent, or misused for other unlawful activities, should report such cases to the police. Changes to the Act were passed in January to let MAS impose measures on cryptocurrency service providers to ensure better consumer protection, when needed. For instance, MAS could require a cryptocurrency service provider to segregate customer assets from its own assets, which will help safeguard customer money from loss in the event of insolvency.
A: An NFT can be viewed as a collectible digital asset that acts as a unique digital certificate of authenticity and ownership for a physical or virtual item. So, even though an item might be reproduced many times, there is usually only one unique NFT for the item and whoever owns the NFT is the sole unique owner of the item the token represents. An exception is when the person who created the NFT allows more than one NFT for the same item to exist, similar to how there can be a run of special edition pairs of sneakers instead of just one pair.
NFTs can be created for a physical or digital painting, video, animation, piece of music or text, a tweet, a collectible like sports memorabilia and more. One example is NBA Top Shot, a collection of unique, historical basketball highlights each recorded in a short video clip. They can be seen as digital collectible sports trading cards with a video element.
NFTs can be bought with real money or the ether cryptocurrency, and the transactions are recorded using blockchain tech - in other words, in a public digital ledger. This means all computers in a network have a copy of the digital ledger for NFTs, which records transaction details like when an NFT was sold, who sold the token and who owns it now. It also means such information cannot be forged. Buying an NFT for digital art can entail getting the token - it exists as computer code - which can contain an online link to the file of the artwork that the buyer can access to view or save the digital art.
Trading in NFTs has jumped sharply this year, even though they have been traded since around But there are concerns with NFTs, such as whether the person who creates an NFT for an object, like an artwork, for sale online is really the original creator of the art.

The products have been available for sale at Woolworths, ALDI and IGA, Campbells and independent grocery stores.
Australia has become caught up in a European food scare, with supermarkets across the country recalling bags of frozen vegetables over fears they may contain a deadly bacteria.
This after an ST6 strain of listeria was found at an Enterprise Foods facility in Polokwane.
Woolworths: Essentials snap frozen mixed veg 1kg: carrots, peas, corn, green beans and potatoes.
Listeria monocytogenes pose a major risk to pregnant women, the elderly and people with immune system problems.
A number of frozen vegetable brands sold at Aldi, Woolworths and IGA stores were recalled from supermarkets across Australia over fears of potential contamination by the listeria bacteria.
The patient - who had another serious illness - died earlier this year, Victoria's health department said.
It is recommended that anyone in possession of the listed products dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund, the food standards agency said.
Early symptoms include a fever, headache, tiredness and aches and pains.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand chief executive Peter May warned Australians to check their freezers for the possibly contaminated products.
ALDI: Market Fare Corn Kernels 1kg.
The European Food Safety Authority said there had been 47 cases including nine deaths since an outbreak in Europe in 2015 linked to the affected vegetables.
Countdown supermarkets have withdrawn a frozen vegetables product after concerns it may be contaminated with a risky strain of bacteria.
ALDI: Market Fare Mixed Vegetables 1kg.
Only ALDI products with country of origin Belgium, Hungary or the United Kingdom are affected by the recall.

In the months and weeks preceding the iPhone X launch, it was widely reported that Apple’s next-gen iPhone, due to some manufacturing issues, was going to be extremely hard to find at launch. Some analysts even projected that Apple wouldn’t be able to meet demand well into 2018. But as it turns out, iPhone X supply is much more plentiful than initially anticipated. Just a few days ago, for example, shipping times on iPhone X orders in the U.S. dropped down to 1-2 weeks, a huge improvement from the 4-5 week shipping estimates we saw when the device first launched earlier this month.
Commenting on the matter, reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently issued a research note to investors (obtained via MacRumors) where he explained that more plentiful iPhone X supply is the result of improved production as opposed to being an indicator of perhaps weaker than anticipated demand.
Specifically, Kuo notes that daily iPhone X production has increased, at a minimum, by a factor of 3. Just a few weeks ago, Foxconn was rolling out anywhere from 50,000-150,000 iPhone X units a day. Today, Foxconn is manufacturing 450,000-500,000 units per day.
Interestingly, the items said to be responsible for the initial production bottlenecks were the dot projector from the TrueDepth camera sensor and components from the device’s LTE antenna.
With supply picking up and demand still incredibly strong, Kuo anticipates that iPhone X shipments during the current holiday quarter may track 10-20% higher than initial projections.
With consumers showing more excitement over the iPhone X than we’ve seen a new iPhone model attract in years, there’s a good chance that Apple in 2018 will sell more iPhones than ever before. To this point, Morgan Stanley analysts believe Apple next year could sell upwards of 262 million iPhones, a significant jump from the current record of 231.2 million units Apple sold in 2015 on the back of its iPhone 6 lineup.
Apple in typical fashion hasn’t officially commented on iPhone X demand but for an early statement indicating that pre-order sales were “off the charts.”

The first markets to receive the shiny phone are Europe, Middle East and Africa . Interestingly the Asian corporation did not provide a detailed list of the countries where you can already buy the gadget.

Their Shows Of A Lost World tour concluded in Miami at the beginning of this month and has shown to be a very successful run of dates indeed for Robert Smith and co.
In total, the 35 dates accumulated some $37.5 million (£29 million) and sold over 547,000 tickets, as first reported by Billboard.
The tour included a mammoth three-night residency at L.A.’s Hollywood Bowl, which alone raked-in some $4.9million (£3.7million) and sold over 50,800 tickets, proving to be the most popular dates on the tour.
The Cure’s shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden also proved a profitable one, rather unsurprisingly given the venue, having sold some 44,300 tickets and brought in $4.1 million (£3.3 million).
These figures dwarf the band’s previous touring heights, with their North American Wish tour in 1992 being the most popular of their previous tours, having sold 402,000 tickets.
Their 2016 North American Tour (simply called The Cure Tour 2016), meanwhile, was their previous highest-earning tour, raking in some $18 million (£13.8 million) – less than half their new record.
Of course, all of these flashy figures come after Smith made headlines for criticising Ticketmaster and the rather extortionate prices they were charging for The Cure.
1 OF 2: AFTER FURTHER CONVERSATION, TICKETMASTER HAVE AGREED WITH US THAT MANY OF THE FEES BEING CHARGED ARE UNDULY HIGH, AND AS A GESTURE OF GOODWILL HAVE OFFERED A $10 PER TICKET REFUND TO ALL VERIFIED FAN ACCOUNTS FOR LOWEST TICKET PRICE ('LTP’) TRANSACTIONS…
— ROBERT SMITH (@RobertSmith) March 16, 2023
In March, The Cure frontman said he was “sickened” at the initial pricing and its inclusion of all sorts of additional service fees and charges.
But rather than being all talk, Smith admirably spoke directly to the ticket operator and managed to secure a $10 ticket refund for all verified fan accounts and ‘lowest ticket price’ (LTP) transactions, among other things.
$10 might not sound like much – but Smith didn’t need to go out of his way to push for that.
In fact as a result of his vow to keep prices low, the average ticket to see The Cure for their 2023 shows was around 37% less than other artists, with an average cost of $68.54 (£59.53).
And even with these lower-than-usual costs, The Cure still managed to smash their touring records. Well played indeed.

Apple Ordered to Pay $440 Million to Patent Troll
Sometimes, it's all about timing.
And for Apple and VirnetX, time is also relative. That's because a federal judge has ordered Apple to pay VirnetX nearly $440 million in a patent case. Meanwhile, however, the patent office and/or appeals board says the patents are invalid.
Never mind Einstein's theory of special relativity, this case is complicated.
Some Math Required
VirnetX won a $302.4 million verdict against Apple last year over protocols used in FaceTime and other applications. Apple filed post-judgment motions, which a Texas court denied.
With another $96 million in fees and costs, plus royalties (which grew from $1.20 to $1.80 per device) that increased to $41.3 million, and that makes $439.7 million. See why you weren't cut out for math?
The more complicated part has to do with timing. According to reports, VirnetX lost its patents but still has appeal rights before those rulings can become final.
At the same time, Apple will appeal the trial court decisions. By then, the VirnetX appeals may be exhausted -- or not. So, yeah.
Patent Troll's Case
For now, VirnetX is "elated" with the judgment against Apple. Despite the uncertain appellate future, the company is confident it will collect.
It recovered $200 million from Microsoft not so long ago. And the company, which is in the buiness of patent litigation, has designs on other patent infringement cases.
However, it may not be as successful in the future since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a patent case last May. In a decision hailed as a major defeat to "patent trolls," the court ruled that patents suits can only filed in a company's home district.

Bit by bit, the optimism of the early internet era has dissipated, replaced by widespread fear over a dystopian future.
Valuable personal information is exposed unwittingly and carelessly by users of social networks. Large, apparently untouchable monopolies then enclose, own and sell it. Making use of the information, dark actors run and win political campaigns from behind the scenes.
In early 2018 newspapers uncovered how Facebook users’ profiles had been exploited by external data analysts without their knowledge. Online ad campaigns, designed to target those same users, apparently helped to manipulate the results of elections in the UK, the US and beyond.
Profit-seeking corporations eager to exploit the psychological and physiological patterns revealed by large human datasets have managed to extend their reach into practically every area of life.
Data of 1.6 million patients from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) were handed to a subsidiary of Google, DeepMind, without their consent.
In November 2018 Google said it was absorbing DeepMind into a new division, Google Health, to help develop its artificial intelligence tools. This corporate reorganisation apparently contravened an assurance about independence given by DeepMind just a year earlier.
“I know better than you do what you are going to do next”
Regulators and politicians are struggling to keep up. The UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) could only levy a maximum fine of £500,000 ($650,000) on Facebook—a drop in the ocean compared to the company’s $40bn annual revenues—while Google escaped with the merest rap over the knuckles from the UK authorities.
Even anonymising social networks’ user details in such large datasets should give little reassurance, says Tony Fish, a specialist in digital identity.
“When you interact with people on the internet you leave a digital footprint which is extraordinarily valuable,” Fish told New Money Review.
“I don’t even need to know your name, but I know where you live, who you live with, who your friends are. I know better than you do what you are going to do next. That scares the shit out of people.”
A system of centralised storage of identity data, whether at social media firms or elsewhere, is vulnerable in other ways.
In 2017, consumer credit agency Equifax announced that hackers had infiltrated its network and stolen the customer names, social security numbers, birthdates and addresses of more than half the US population.
The introduction by India’s government of a biometric identity scheme covering over 99 percent of the country’s 1 billion-plus population, called ‘Aadhar’, has led to accusations of corruption, bribery, and the creation of fake IDs.
Quipping that Aadhar should be renamed “Hack Me”, computer scientist Andreas Antonopoulos asked rhetorically:
“Put all ID in a giant insecure database run by a notoriously corrupt bureaucracy. What could go wrong?”
Distribute and return to user
For some, recent scandals are an opportunity for a total rethink of how digital identity information is organised, stored and used.
Instead of people handing over identity attributes to a government or tech firm, say advocates of a new approach, individuals should be given an opportunity to recover from identity loss.
We would all then become the owners of our own digital footprints under a so-called ‘self-sovereign identity’ (SSID) framework.
“To date, every identifier you use online belongs to someone else”
SSID schemes start with an individual identifier called a decentralised ID or ‘DID’. A DID can be owned not just by individuals, but also organisations and even by objects on the internet of things.
DIDs are created and managed via software wallet applications and registered in blockchains or other decentralised networks.
Christopher Allen, a computer scientist and privacy advocate, explains why the shift to DIDs is important.
“To date, every identifier you use online does not belong to you: it belongs to someone else,” says Allen.
“For example, URLs (internet addresses) are leased to you by your domain name system (DNS) provider, who leases them from the generic top level domain (gLTD), who leases them from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN),” says Allen.
“Phone numbers are loaned to you (and often ported away). Government-issued identifiers are often misused commercially. The management of identifiers is hard, and is being outsourced. This results in problems related to cost, data portability, data privacy, and data security,” Allen told the audience at a recent event in Zurich.
Kaliya Young, a consultant and identity specialist, told New Money Review how DIDs can be used to build a series of verifiable credentials.
“Now you can issue credentials to individuals that they own and control”
“A DID comes with a DID document, which may be posted to a ledger,” says Young.
“That document contains the DID and public keys associated with the DID, the method of authentification, the keys for recovery, a timestamp and a signature,” says Young.
“You can start to use those as an anchor to issue verifiable credentials to individuals, who collect them in their digital wallet, where they also store the private keys associated with the DID.”
For example, a host of credentials, such as driving licences, membership certificates, university degree certificates and other useful personal information, could be attached to a particular decentralised ID.
Any third party could then challenge the authenticity of the information associated with the DID, using the technology of public and private key cryptography.
According to Young, a stand-alone self-sovereign identity network would be fundamentally different from centralised, government-administered identity schemes.
“The breakthrough in self-sovereign identity is that now you can issue credentials to individuals that they own and control, and which are believable,” says Young.
“By contrast, in solutions like India’s Aadhar identity scheme or Estonia’s e-citizenship programme, any time you use credentials from those systems, you would still have to check with the respective government to see if they are true,” she says.
A blockchain or coopted future?
It’s not a coincidence that interest in SSID has risen in tandem with the recent cryptocurrency boom. Even cryptocurrency sceptics agree that self-sovereign identity systems could be a valuable application of public cryptocurrency networks like bitcoin and ethereum.
“Blockchain is useful for not many things, but this might turn out to be one of them,” says Kaliya Young.
Yet decentralisation—perhaps the key selling point of a blockchain network—is not a given.
A variety of SSID startups have come to market in the last two years. Some seek to hitch their fortunes to a public, cryptocurrency-based network like ethereum or bitcoin. Others are developing their own blockchains, usually with a native currency or token thrown in.
One self-sovereign ID scheme that’s attached to an existing cryptocurrency blockchain is uPort, which is owned by ConSensys, a venture capital firm. uPort allows its users to register their own identity on the ethereum network.
By contrast, Sovrin, another SSID initiative, is seeking to launch its own blockchain using a native Sovrin token. Similarly, Everest, a California-based digital identity firm, plans to use a utility token, called the ID, and a USD-pegged token, called the CRDT, to run its network.
The Veres One network, launched earlier this year, takes a different tack, charging a fee to those wishing to created a DID, rather than seeking to join the token boom.
But governments and established tech firms are also taking a close interest in SSID.
Veres One has received funding from the US Department of Homeland Security while Evernym, developer of the Sovrin network, took money from the same source in 2017.
“what’s more disruptive than giving people back their data?”
Microsoft and IBM have both recently beefed up their SSID teams and have been vocal on the benefits of blockchain-based identity. Both companies could see decentralised digital identity as a way of stealing a competitive edge.
“IBM and Microsoft, looking at Facebook and Google as their competitors, are thinking, ‘what’s more disruptive than giving people back their data?’” says Kaliya Young.
The involvement of big tech firms in new identity schemes worries some SSID advocates.
Past attempts to develop a system of user-owned internet identities, such as the OpenID project, were stymied by tech giants’ ability to create and enforce their own identity protocols.
Facebook, for example, managed to convince many of its platform’s users to adopt its Connect sign-on application, allowing them to access a variety of websites through a single (Facebook-owned) identity.
The firm also encouraged the developers of third-party apps to adopt the Facebook Connect system, largely by offering access to its users’ data—the same practice that eventually led to the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
“One of the reasons more sites support Facebook Connect is that they get a piece of the user pie,” Scott Gilbertson, a Wired journalist, wrote in 2011.
“Someone could follow the rituals of SSID but not the spirit”
“There’s a risk of a repeat of the past, when the internet giants took over the first generation of user-owned identity systems,” Pelle Braengaard, chief technology officer of uPort, told New Money Review.
“That does keep me up at night. Someone could turn up and say they are doing self-sovereign identity, follow the rituals of it but not the spirit. I’d be worried if someone like Facebook said they were getting involved.”
Privacy above all
This article is the second in a three-part series on identity, money and privacy. In the first, we reported on how identity confers power when linked to money.
Some see online privacy for all, especially in financial transactions, as the only safeguard against unfair sanctions regimes, abusive governments and monopolistic, profit-seeking internet giants.
In the third and final article of this series, we look at how cryptocurrency pioneers have tried to engineer money to ensure total anonymity for users, and how governments are so far fighting a losing battle to arrest this trend.

The Isle of Man Post Office has released its first ever smartphone application, a new app for the iPhone allowing customers to access its new digital mail service, ePostbox.
And, Post Danmark has also launched a new smartphone app, allowing customers to purchase postage through their phones.
Isle of Man Post Office
ePostbox had a soft launch last year, but was launched globally this June, using Swiss Post technology to scan registered customers’ physical letters, and allow users to remotely manage their mail as they prefer.
Now with the free iPhone app, customers on the move will similarly be able to view their scanned mail, delete it, request physical delivery to another address or sent digitally to another ePostbox user.
The Isle of Man Post Office said that as for the ePostbox service itself, the new app would be of particular interest for business travellers, multiple homeowners and expats based anywhere in the world who want to manage their Isle of Man mail.
Mike Kelly, the Isle of Man Post Office chief executive, said the intention was to roll out similar apps for users of Blackberry and Android smartphones in the near future.
“We have developed the iPhone app to be simple and straightforward so that ePostbox customers who have registered can access their mail quickly and conveniently,” he said.
“It is Isle of Man Post Office’s first ever App, and we are delighted with the results.”
Last week Post Danmark launched a new mobile phone application for its customers in Denmark to purchase postage through their smartphones.
The Mobilporto (MobileShipping) app allows customers to buy digital stamps for both first and second-class (A or B) letters, for delivery of items up to 2kg in weight anywhere in Denmark.
When users purchase a stamp, they receive a code they can then write on their envelope as proof of postage.
The new app is a development of the Mobilporto service launched last year, which has seen 500,000 stamps sold through text messages.
Mette Juul, head of private customers for Post Denmark, said the new app was developed in response to customer requests for access to the Mobilporto service through a smartphone application.
“We really want to make it as easy as possible to send letters. Therefore, we have both expanded the possibilities of mobile postage and improved our Mobilporto app so it guides the customer through the purchase of postage codes.
“In this way, we bringing together the digital and physical world,” said Juul.
The Mobilporto app is available on iPhone and Android phones, as well as phones using the Windows operating system.

New Rumpke Program So You Can Recycle More!
As part of Rumpke’s ongoing commitment to ensuring customers can recycle the most amount of material possible – they are once again growing their acceptable items list by implementing the Hefty ReNew™ program in Greater Cincinnati.
Hefty ReNew™ is a hard-to-recycle plastics recovery program that offers residents and businesses served by Rumpke Recycling a convenient way to divert more waste from landfills.
Beginning in November, residents in eight counties in the tri-state area, including Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties in Ohio; Dearborn County in Indiana; and Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in Kentucky can participate.
People who choose to participate can purchase Hefty ReNew™ orange bags at their local Kroger store or online at Kroger.com. For additional online options, visit HeftyReNew.com. Each orange bag features a list of hard-to-recycle items that can be collected in the bag for recycling. Simply fill the bag with those items and when it’s full, tie it up and then place the bag in a Rumpke Recycling bin or public recycling drop box for collection. It’s that easy!
Rumpke will then collect the recycling bins, sort each material by commodity type as it typically does, while pulling out the Hefty® ReNew® orange bags. The bags will then be sent to specialized recyclers that will use the materials to create new and useful products including plastic lumber and irrigation blocks.
The Hefty ReNew™ program is intended to complement, but not replace, current recycling routines. Therefore, it’s important for Rumpke Recycling customers to continue putting paper, cardboard, cartons, glass and plastic bottles, tubs, cups, aluminum cans and steel cans in their Rumpke bins or community drop boxes loose and unbagged.
While bags won’t be available through retailers until November, residents in participating counties can request a free Hefty ReNew™ starter kit beginning now at bit.ly/3Fb9YZx. Businesses and municipalities will soon be able to order commercial size bags directly from Rumpke.

“Ninety-five percent of people who live on the planet live outside the United States, and generally for global Internet businesses about 80 percent of the usage is outside the U.S.,” Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told The New York Times
. “We want to bring our services to as many nations as possible.”
Netflix’s revenue increased more than 25 percent in the second quarter, after the company ditched plans to split itself into two companies and instead began focusing on acquiring exclusive programming and original series.
In September, the company will launch services in European countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, giving it a potential international market of 180 million broadband households.
Netflix passed 50 million subscribers despite increasing its monthly subscription price by $1 in May.
China could also be a future market for the company, according to Reuters.
"It's conspicuously large, and it's conspicuously a growing and very strong economy," CFO David Wells said in a video conference with analysts.
Strong programming has benefited the company, which saw 31 Emmy nominations for its shows this year.

Flickr Founder Has a Hunch that Bing Will Help Her Start-Up
What do smart companies do when they know they can’t compete with the #1 company in market? They create a new market!
After years of making claims of being the "next Google killer" it appears that today’s crop of start-ups are keen to distance themselves from the search engine giant–and any "search engine" tag–WolframAlpha and Bing are just two recent examples.
"We’re nothing like a search engine," Fake said in an interview from New York. "We’re more related to the answers sites."
"Bing is kind of doing us a big favor by popularizing the idea that people go online to make decisions. But I don’t think we’re competitive with them."

Grain merchants are warning of hiccups following the trade deal agreed between London and Brussels relating to the movement of goods between the UK and European Union.
The last minute trade deal was announced on 24 December – just one week before the end of the Brexit transition period. ADM Agriculture head of grain trading Jonathan Lane said the agreement had at least clarified the relationship between the UK and EU.
“With no tariffs or quotas to be applied, grain imports and exports can continue freely,” he said.
“This is seen as a positive move for the UK, given its increasing dependency on imports for this season due to the lower crop forecast. There have been, and will be, hiccups but in practice imports and exports should continue.”
Mr Lane said the agreement would aid UK growers looking to market their 2021 wheat crop. An expected rebound in production would return the UK to being a net exporter – but tariff-free exports to the EU would avoid the need for the UK to chase trade with third countries. This would have affected farm prices, said Mr Lane.
A Defra update on its 2020 UK crop estimates has pegged wheat production at 9.658 million tonnes. This 40% year-on-year reduction is due to a 24% drop in area (1.387mln ha) and poor harvest averaging just below 7t/ha.
Talk of diminishing export availability in the Black Sea has supported a rallying grain market last month. Grain prices were considerably higher, with the US market up $18/t, Matif up €10/t, and London up just over £10/t on March 21 positions.
Prices were also buoyed by demand from China and concerns over South American corn and soybean production due to dryness. Talk suggests reduced South American output could push additional export demand into the US.
Meanwhile, Argentina announced it was suspending sales of corn for exports until 28 February. Mr Lane said the surprising move was part of efforts by the Buenos Aires government to ensure ample domestic food supplies.
Closer to home, Russian agency SovEcon downgraded its estimate for Russia’s 2020/21 wheat exports to 36.3mln t from 40.8mln t previously. The revision was due to an upcoming export tax aimed at stabilising domestic food prices.
Conversely, Ukraine’s trade union has reported government assurances that no additional grain export limits will be imposed for the 2020/21 season.
Egypt’s supply minister reports the country has strategic wheat reserves sufficient for 5.5 months. But Morocco has extended its suspension of import duties on soft wheat until 31 May to ensure regular supply amid low domestic output.
In terms of oilseeds, an interesting start to the new year saw Chicago Board of Trade soybeans making new highs in every session. Prices shot though the $13 target at the end of 2020, to trade over $13.50 in the first few days following the Christmas break.
Again the market was supported by dry weather in South America. Matif rapeseed started the year by trading at contract highs and continued to do so for the past four sessions. Canadian canola also traded higher for six straight sessions.
UK rapeseed prices hit season highs. Investors turned attentions from the Brexit deal and focused on escalating Covid 19 cases and renewed lockdowns. Sterling fell back from recent highs against the euro, which lent support to UK prices.

The Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank, a private commercial Taiwanese bank, has reportedly launched a blockchain-powered payments system for retail usage, a first in the country.
According to a local report by the Taipei Times, the private-sector bank announced the deployment of the payment system for local restaurants and merchants on Sunday after commencing development of the platform in March 2017. Specifically, the bank is rolling out the blockchain payments system in merchant establishments and eateries near theNational Chengchi University, a national research university based in the country’s capital.
The bank first inked a partnership with the university in March 2017, announcing a joint-project dubbed the ‘Key Technology and Engineering R&D for Blockchain Payment Network’. During trials at the university’s own campus, the blockchain payment platform helped transaction volumes among participating merchants selling lunch-time meals to students grow four-fold.

The economy was expected to come down from its recent highs, but the slowdown is coming sooner than expected.
China’s V-shaped economic rebound after the Covid-19 pandemic is slowing, sending a warning to the rest of the world about the sustainability of their own recoveries.
The changing outlook was highlighted on Friday when the People’s Bank of China cut the amount of cash most banks need to hold in reserve in order to stimulate lending. While the PBOC said the move was not a stimulus stimulus, the magnitude of the 50 basis point reduction in the reserve requirement ratio of most banks came as a surprise.
Data on Thursday is expected to show growth slowed in the second quarter to 8% from a record 18.3% gain in the first quarter, according to a Bloomberg poll of economists. Key figures for retail sales, industrial production and capital investment are also expected to moderate.
The PBOC’s swift move to lower banks’ RRRs is one way to ensure the recovery stabilizes from here, rather than stumbles.
The economy has always been expected to come down from the highs it reached in its initial rebound and last year’s weak base effect to wear off. But economists say the softening came sooner than expected and could now reverberate around the world.
“There is no doubt that the impact of a Chinese slowdown on the world economy will be greater than it was five years ago,” said Rob Subbaraman, head of research on Global markets at Nomura Holdings Inc. Covid-19 exit status could also influence market expectations that if the Chinese economy cools now, others will soon follow. “
The group of 20 finance ministers meeting in Venice on Saturday warned of threats that could derail a fragile global recovery, saying new variants of the coronavirus and an uneven pace of vaccination could undermine prospects for improving the global economy . Chinese state media also quoted several analysts on Monday as saying domestic growth would slow in the second half of the year amid an uncertain global recovery.
The slowing recovery in China also reinforces the view that factory inflation has likely peaked and commodity prices could slow further.
“Slower growth in China is expected to lead to near-term disinflationary pressures globally, especially on demand for industrial metals and capital goods,” said Wei Yao, chief economist for Asia. Pacific at Societe Generale SA.
The changing outlook reflects the advanced stage of recovery in China as growth stabilizes, according to Bloomberg Economics.
Nationally, the big puzzle continues to be why retail sales are still low given the virus remains under control. Sales are likely to slow again in June, according to Bloomberg Economics, as sentiment was weighed by controls aimed at containing sporadic outbreaks of the virus.
Even with the PBOC’s support for small and medium-sized enterprises, there is no sign of a general reversal of the disciplined stimulus approach taken by authorities since the onset of the crisis.
The RRR cut was in part aimed at “managing expectations” ahead of economic data in the second quarter of this week, said Bruce Pang, head of macro and strategic research at China Renaissance Securities Hong Kong.
“It also offers more room for maneuver for the future, as the momentum of the economic recovery has surely slowed down.”

The 2nd World 3D Printing Technology Expo was held in Qingdao, Shandong, China this past week (June 19-22). It featured thousands of individuals from China, United States, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, and almost a dozen other countries. They were there to discuss the latest breakthroughs in 3D Printing, including possible applications, material use, business models and more.
Qingdao Unique Products Develop Co., Ltd, a company known for their high quality Desktop 2D and 3D Printers, apparently believes that the old catch phrase doesn’t only apply to gemstones and beef. They apparently believe it to hold true for 3D printers as well. The company was on hand at the 3D printing conference this past week to show off something quite amazing. They introduced what they refer to as the ‘World’s Largest’ 3D printer, which has an incredible X and Y axis of 12 meters (almost 40 feet) each.
This new gigantic 3D printer will set out on its first official task, of printing out a replica of the world famous “Temple of Heaven”, a religious building located in central Beijing. The replica will be 7 meters in diameter and 8 meters high, and is expected to take around 6 months to complete. Representatives from Qingdao were on hand to show off a mini-replica of the Temple of Heaven, in which they will be printing on their large 3D printer.
In the future, this incredible printer may be used to construct homes and other buildings, as they have come up with a specially formulated printing material which uses a combination of graphene and fiberglass, to creating an extraordinarily strong printing material. The company plans to challenge the 3D printed canal house project currently on-going in the Netherlands.
“The project in the Netherlands is an interesting one, but we plan to eclipse it by making our buildings stronger and easier to print,” explained a representative of Qingdao to 3DPrint in an email.
Qingdao Unique Products believes that their printer is superior to the ones used in the Netherlands in that it will be able to print entire houses out in one go, rather than using 3D printed pieces that are then bonded together, like in the construction of the Dutch Canal House project. Qingdao’s buildings should be three times as strong because of their specially formulated printing material.
China has long been known for their extremely large 3D printers. It should be interesting to see how their 3D printing house project goes. Being able to print out buildings nearly 40 feet in diameter should be quite sufficient in the construction of some smaller homes. With this said, Qingdao may still create a larger printer in order to print even larger buildings in the future.
What do you think about this incredible new 3D printer? Would you want your house constructed with it? Discuss in the Large Chinese 3D printer forum thread on 3DPB.com

News reports have revealed that popular American snack Doritos will now launch 'lady-friendly' crisps. If you, like many other people, are confounded by what it could possibly mean, then you must know that 'lady-friendly' crisps are ones that do not crunch loudly, something the bosses in the company feel that women struggle with. This version of Doritos would be quieter and less messy to eat.
The chips, produced by Frito Lay and PepsiCo, will come in packs that women can easily put in their handbags.
According to The Sun, Indra Nooyi said, "It's not a male and female as much as 'are there snacks for women that can be designed and packaged differently?' And yes, we are looking at it, and we're getting ready to launch a bunch of them soon."
Nooyi, Chairwoman and CEO of PepsiCo further spoke about how young guys eat Doritos, lick their fingers and pour the crumbs at the bottom of the pack into their mouth. "Women would love to do the same, but they don't. They don't like to crunch too loudly in public. And they don't lick their fingers," she said.
Most people on social media were not amused with the idea of 'lady-friendly' crisps.
The Sun quoted a spokesperson for the Women's Equality Party who said, "Companies that perpetuate these tired gender stereotypes will continue to lose out on the single biggest consumer group: women. No doubt some male consumers will welcome the chance to have a bigger package. But the idea of shrinking products for women, no doubt for the same price, is as old as the Ad Men making these decisions."
Women took to social media to express their disbelief and incredulity. Some even said that all this does is reiterate ancient gender stereotypes.
Literally HOW do you gender a packet of crisps? Because this reads as shaming women for eating normally and making noises when they chew. You know, like humans do. https://t.co/qRdCCIZegH- Georgina Adlam (@GeorginaAdlam) February 5, 2018

Google battles on with Bing, announcing its own Twitter deal
Hours after Microsoft's announcement, Google reports real-time search deal
Computerworld - Not to be left out of the party, Google announced today it has signed its own real-time search deal with Twitter.
Marissa Mayer, vice president of Google's search products, announced at the Web 2.0 Summit late this afternoon that Google will be integrating tweets into its search results.
"We believe that our search results and user experience will greatly benefit from the inclusion of this up-to-the-minute data, and we look forward to having a product that showcases how tweets can make search better in the coming months," Mayer, wrote in a blog post earlier today. "That way, the next time you search for something that can be aided by a real-time observation, say, snow conditions at your favorite ski resort, you'll find tweets from other users who are there and sharing the latest and greatest information."
"Where there are tweets about the topic and the news articles haven't been written yet, we'd really like to showcase the tweets," she said.
Mayer declined to discuss the financial terms of Google's agreement with Twitter.
Mayer also said at the conference that in a few weeks, Google will launch a service called Social Search in Google Labs. Social Search is designed to enable users to search for tweets and blogs written by their friends and the people whom their friends follow.
The news comes directly on the heels of rival Microsoft's announcement earlier today that it had reached its own real-time search deal with both Twitter and social networking company Facebook. Google has not made any announcement about setting a deal with Facebook.
In nonexclusive deals with both Twitter and Facebook, Microsoft said the company will integrate the social networks' real-time status update feeds into its Bing search service.
A few weeks ago, reports surfaced that both Google and Microsoft have been wooing Twitter to sign a deal with the microblogging site.
While Google and Microsoft may have found a way to boost their real-time search efforts in the midst of their raging search war, the deals announced today mean that the popular social networks, which still have no business plans, have found a way to bring in some hefty paychecks.
