"John hit the ball": Should Simple Language Be Mandatory for Web Accessibility?
Posted by Brian Kelly on 18 Sep 2012
W3C WAI "Easy to Read" (e2r) Work
The W3C/WAI Research and Development Working Group (RDWG) is planning an online symposium on "Easy to Read" (e2r) language in Web Pages/Applications" (e2r Web). The closing date for submissions (which can be up t0 1,000 words) is
24 September 12 October 2012. The symposium itself will take place on 3 December 2012.
The Easy to Read activity page provides an introduction to this work:
Providing information in a way that can be understood by the majority of users is an essential aspect of accessibility for people with disabilities. This includes rules, guidelines, and recommendations for authoring text, structuring information, enriching content with images and multimedia and designing layout to meet these requirements.
and goes on to describe how:
Easy to Read today is first of all driven by day to day practice of translating information (on demand). More research is needed to better understand the needs of the users, to analyze and compare the different approaches, to come to a common definition, and to propose a way forward in providing more comprehensive access to language on the Web.
It provides a list of potentially useful tools and methods for measuring readability:
- Flesch Reading Ease
- Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level
- Gunning Fog Index
- Wiener Sachtextformel
- Simple Measure Of Gobbledygook (SMOG)
- Gunning fog index (FOG)
The aim of this work is to address the needs of people with disabilities:
- People with cognitive disabilities related to functionalities such as
- Memory
- Problem solving (conceptualizing, planning, sequencing, reasoning and judging thoughts and actions)
- Attention (e.g. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – ADHD) and awareness
- Reading, linguistic, and verbal comprehension (e.g. Dyslexia)
- Visual Comprehension
- Mental health disabilities
- People with low language skills including people who are not fluent in a language
- Hearing Impaired and Deaf People
Early Work in this Area
When I saw this announcement it reminded me of early W3A WAI work in this area. Back in March 2004 an early draft of the WCAG 2.0 guidelines for Web accessibility provided the following guideline:
Guideline 3.1 Ensure that the meaning of content can be determined.
and went on to describe level 3 success criteria which could demonstrate that this guideline had been achieved:
- Syntax
- Using the simplest sentence forms consistent with the purpose of the content
- For example, the simplest sentence-form for English consists of Subject-Verb-Object, as in John hit the ball or The Web site conforms to WCAG 2.0.
- Using bulleted or numbered lists instead of paragraphs that contain long series of words or phrases separated by commas.
- Using the simplest sentence forms consistent with the purpose of the content
- Nouns, noun-phrases, and pronouns
- Using single nouns or short noun-phrases.
- Making clear pronoun references and references to earlier points in the document
Yes, if that version of the WCAG guidelines had been implemented if you wished your Web site to conform with WCAG Level 3 you would have had to ensure that you avoided complex sentences!
Conformance with Level 3 guidelines were intended to Web resources "accessible to more people with all or particular types of disability". The guidelines explained how "A conformance claim of "WCAG 2.0 AAA" can be made if all level 1, level 2, and all level 3 success criteria for all guidelines have been met."
Such guidelines would be helpful for people with cognitive disabilities: those with Asperger's syndrome, for example, find it difficult to understand metaphors such as "It's raining cats and dogs". The guidelines seem to have been developed by those who wished to implement the vision of "universal accessibility". But I think we can see that seeking to address accessibility in this fashion is flawed.
Dangers of Such Work
I have to admit that I would be worried if the Easy to Read research activities were to lead to enhancements to the WCAG guidelines. Under the current WAI model, full conformance to WCAG, together with ATAG and UAAG guidelines is supposed to lead to universal accessibility. There is also an assumption that universal accessibility is a desired goal.
But is this really the case? The early drafts of WCAG 2.0 guidelines suggested that "John hit the ball" conformed with the goal of ensuring that the meaning of the content can be determined. Would WCAG 2.0 checking tools flag "the ball was hit by John" as an accessibility error, meaning that the Web page could not achieve the highest accessibility rating? And what about my favourite sports headline: "Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious" – a headline which brings a smile if Mary Poppins was part of your cultural background and you recognise Celtic as a football team, but which is clearly not universally accessible.
I would welcome research into ways in which styles of writing can enhance the accessibility of the content to people with disabilities. My concern would be if such research were to be incorporated into future versions of WCAG guidelines – especially if WCAG conformance is mandated in legislation, as is the case in some countries. But rather than failing to carry out such research, I feel the main challenge for WAI is to re-evaluate its underlining model based on the triumvirate of standards and its commitment to ensuring that Web resources are universally accessible – this might be a great soundbite, but in reality may be an unachievable – and even undesirable – goal. After all 'universal accessibility' doesn't appear to allow for any contextualisation and an important aspect of accessibility must surely be the context of use. What do you think?

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A wet and blustery storm along the East Coast made driving hazardous and tangled up hundreds of flights Wednesday but didn't cause the all-out gridlock many Thanksgiving travellers had feared.
Many travellers marveled at how orderly and anxiety-free the airports were during what's typically one of the busiest days of the year.
One big question lingered in New York: Will high winds ground Snoopy and the other giant cartoon-character balloons at the Macy's parade on Thanksgiving Day?
The storm unleashed wind-driven rain along the Northeast's heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor from Richmond, Va., to the tip of Maine. New York City had 2 1/2 inches of rain and felt wind gusts of about 50 mph.
Parts of upstate New York saw between 3 and 9 inches of snow, the National Weather Service said. The storm dropped 1 to 3 inches of snow in parts of West Virginia.
Emerging from the weather gantlet was Katie Fleisher, who made it by car from Portsmouth, N.H., through rain and fog to Boston's Logan Airport with little trouble and discovered to her amazement that the panicked, cranky crowds she expected were nonexistent.
"We thought it would be busier here. But there've been no lines, and it has been really quiet," said Fleisher, whose plan was to fly to Pittsburgh.
Strong winds could prevent the giant balloons from taking flight this year at the Macy's parade. Safety rules that specify wind speeds were enacted after a spectator was seriously injured in 1997 in an accident involving an out-of-control balloon.
By Wednesday night, around 300 flights had been cancelled, mostly in Philadelphia, New York and Newark, N.J., according to the tracking website FlightAware.com. But that was a tiny fraction of the nearly 32,000 flights that were scheduled to, from or within the U.S., the site said. And the weather in many places improved as the day wore on.
At a rest stop on I-95 outside Boston, a Vermont family travelling to Sharon, Mass., was relieved that the roads weren't that congested and the weather didn't prove to be too much trouble.
"We didn't think we were going to get out today because of freezing rain, but it has been great," Liz Kleinberg said.
The storm, which developed in the West over the weekend, has been blamed for at least 11 deaths, five of them in Texas.
National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro said the storm was "fairly typical" for this time of year.
"Obviously, it's ill-timed because you have a lot of rain and snowfall in areas where people are trying to move around town or fly or drive out of town. … But, fortunately, we're at this point going to start seeing a steady improvement in conditions across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast," he said.
More than 43 million people are expected to travel over the long holiday weekend, according to AAA. About 39 million of those will be on the roads, while more than 3 million people are expected to fly.
Travellers had some things to be thankful for this year.
The Federal Aviation Administration last month lifted restrictions on most personal electronic devices during takeoffs and landings, and some airlines, including American, have already begun allowing passengers to stay powered up from gate to gate.
And on the ground, gas prices dipped to an average of $3.29 a gallon.
Keyser reported from Chicago. Associated Press writers Tracee Herbaugh in Boston, Don Babwin in Chicago, Kathy Matheson in Philadelphia, Kristi Eaton in Oklahoma City, Carrie Antlfinger in Milwaukee, John Mone in Houston, Karen Matthews in New York, Samantha Henry in Newark, N.J., and Brett Barrouquere in Louisville, Ky., contributed to this report.

1. If you lived in a house made of jello, what flavor would it be? Any particular reason?
I would cry. Or scream. Or both. I hate jello. It's unnatural and wiggly and gelatinous. If I lived in a house made of sweetened slime, I'd wonder about my sanity. (More so than I already do.)
2. What is your first reaction when someone knocks on your door?
3. Does a blue sky or blue ocean make you happier? Why?
Both. Neither. I love blues skies and blue oceans but also light, puffy clouds and rolling grey ones as well as crystal, clear turquoise water and stormy seas. I love nature in all her moods.
4. If you were out enjoying a beautiful day and suddenly it started raining, what would you do?
Dance in the rain.
5. Whose name makes you smile as soon as you hear it? Care to share why?
Spike. I envision lots of funny scenes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer every time I hear his name.
6. Dog, cat, fish, or rabbit?
Human. I'm actually human. Or do you mean to eat? Because I do like sushi (sorry, Nemo). Oh, a pet? Cat.
7. What's your favorite mode of travel?
Transporter. "Beam me up, Scotty." Teleportation is awesome.
8. If you had to stay up all night by yourself in a deserted building, what would you spend the time doing?
Sleeping. Oh. Crap. Never mind. Is there wine? It's my fake all-nighter so I say, yes, there's wine. I'm going to go ahead and let you all know just how boring I am: I'd stay up reading and writing.
9. Running in the rain or running in the gym? (Even if you don't run! ha!)
Hmm. I don't run. Ever. I'd probably slip and fall either way so it really doesn't matter. Though, if I'm in the gym, I'd have to be around people so…rain.
10. To stand alone on a mountain peak or dance in a crowded club?
I think I just covered that. (Psst…I'm a hermit.) Alone on a Mountain Peak might be the name of my next book…
11. Who do you write for?
Me. (And I have at least two posts about this.)
It's been a bit since I joined in a blog hop. Thanks to Rachael Ritchey for tagging me and making me answer these questions she made up. Yes, she made them up. That's in the rules. Yes, there are rules. I broke them. And had fun.
There's a thing about 11 for this tag: 11 rules…no. 11 cups of coffee…hmm. Ah. 11 tags, 11 answers, 11 questions… Something like that.
For me, I'm going with this…
Consider yourself tagged.
Join in, have a bit of bloggy fun, use the awesome Blue Sky Tag banner (that Rachael designed).
Okay, if you're going to play, here are your questions:
- Do you judge a book by its cover?
- What's your favorite color? (Specific shade would be awesome…just saying.)
- Which animal is smarter: chimpanzees or dolphins? (Except if Geoff Le Pard plays because he will say "mice".)
- What's your least favorite part about writing: editing, revising, or proofreading?
- Are there any mythological creatures you believe are real? (Or wish they were?)
- Which ridiculously popular book did you not enjoy?
Do You Prefer / Which Would You Rather questions:
- Pen or pencil
- Wine or beer
- Bean bags or straight-back chairs
- A pile of proofreading or a stack of math worksheets

Hi everyone!!!
Chicken wraps can be healthy or unhealthy, it all depends on how you make them, what extra ingredients you add and what type of diet you're following. Here I'm doing this chicken wrap with very simple ingredients. come let's get started!!!!
- Tortillas or roti of your choice (room temperature)
- Mayonnaise 2 tbsp
- Mustard paste 2 tbsp
- Tomato ketchup 1 tbsp
- tomatoes, cucumber, carrot etc
- roasted chicken breast
- 1tsp chilly powder
- 1 tsp pepper powder
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp white vinegar or lemon extract
- 1 Tsp soy sauce
- Salt to taste.
When the oil is at the right temperature, add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about five minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels when done.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add one of the wraps and let warm up for a few seconds on each side. Repeat process until all the wraps are warm.
To assembling, take one wrap and add two of the fried chicken, mayonnaise, mustard paste, tomato ketchup 1/4 of the chopped tomato and spinach. Fold the wrap and then cut in half crosswise to serve.
Hope you all like this wonderful recipe my dear lovely friends.please do share with your friends and family and don't forget to write your thoughts below🤗
Happy cooking with liba👩🏻🍳

Last week's feature explaining why passwords are under assault like never before touched a nerve with many Ars readers, and with good reason. After all, passwords are the keys that secure Web-based bank accounts, sensitive e-mail services, and virtually every other facet of our online life. Lose control of the wrong password and it may only be a matter of time until the rest of our digital assets fall, too.
Take, for example, the hundreds of millions of WiFi networks in use all over the world. If they're like the ones within range of my office, most of them are protected by the WiFi Protected Access or WiFi Protected Access 2 security protocols. In theory, these protections prevent hackers and other unauthorized people from accessing wireless networks or even viewing traffic sent over them, but only when end users choose strong passwords. I was curious how easy it would be to crack these passcodes using the advanced hardware menus and techniques that have become readily available over the past five years. What I found wasn't encouraging.
First, the good news. WPA and WPA2 use an extremely robust password-storage regimen that significantly slows the speed of automated cracking programs. By using the PBKDF2 key derivation function along with 4,096 iterations of SHA1 cryptographic hashing algorithm, attacks that took minutes to run against the recent LinkedIn and eHarmony password dumps of June would require days or even weeks or months to complete against the WiFi encryption scheme.
What's more, WPA and WPA2 passwords require a minimum of eight characters, eliminating the possibility that users will pick shorter passphrases that could be brute forced in more manageable timeframes. WPA and WPA2 also use a network's SSID as salt, ensuring that hackers can't effectively use precomputed tables to crack the code.
That's not to say wireless password cracks can't be accomplished with ease, as I learned firsthand.
I started this project by setting up two networks with hopelessly insecure passphrases. The first step was capturing what is known as the four-way handshake, which is the cryptographic process a computer uses to validate itself to a wireless access point and vice versa. This handshake takes place behind a cryptographic veil that can't be pierced. But there's nothing stopping a hacker from capturing the packets that are transmitted during the process and then seeing if a given password will complete the transaction. With less than two hours practice, I was able to do just that and crack the dummy passwords "secretpassword" and "tobeornottobe" I had chosen to protect my test networks.
Brother, can you spare a deauth frame?
To capture a valid handshake, a targeted network must be monitored while an authorized device is validating itself to the access point. This requirement may sound like a steep hurdle, since people often stay connected to some wireless networks around the clock. It's easy to get around, however, by transmitting what's known as a deauth frame, which is a series of deauthorization packets an AP sends to client devices prior to it rebooting or shutting down. Devices that encounter a deauth frame will promptly rejoin an affected network.
Using the Silica wireless hacking tool sold by penetration-testing software provider Immunity for $2,500 a year, I had no trouble capturing a handshake established between a Netgear WGR617 wireless router and my MacBook Pro. Indeed, using freely available programs like Aircrack-ng to send deauth frames and capture the handshake isn't difficult. The nice thing about Silica is that it allowed me to pull off the hack with a single click of my mouse. In less than 90 seconds I had possession of the handshakes for the two networks in a "pcap" (that's short for packet capture) file. My Mac never showed any sign it had lost connectivity with the access points.
I then uploaded the pcap files to CloudCracker, a software-as-a-service website that charges $17 to check a WiFi password against about 604 million possible words. Within seconds both "secretpassword" and "tobeornottobe" were cracked. A special WPA mode built-in to the freely available oclHashcat Plus password cracker retrieved the passcodes with similar ease.
It was the neighborly thing to do
Cracking such passcodes I had set up in advance to be guessed was great for demonstration purposes, but it didn't provide much satisfaction. What I really wanted to know was how much luck I'd have cracking a password that was actually being used to secure one of the networks in the vicinity of my office.
So I got the permission of one of my office neighbors to crack his WiFi password. To his chagrin, it took CloudCracker just 89 minutes to crack the 10-character, all-numerical password he used, although because the passcode wasn't contained in the entry-level, 604 million-word list, I relied on a premium, 1.2 billion-word dictionary that costs $34 to use.
My fourth hack target presented itself when another one of my neighbors was selling the above-mentioned Netgear router during a recent sidewalk sale. When I plugged it in, I discovered that he had left the eight-character WiFi password intact in the firmware. Remarkably, neither CloudCracker nor 12 hours of heavy-duty crunching by Hashcat were able to crack the passphrase. The secret: a lower-case letter, followed two numbers, followed by five more lower-case letters. There was no discernible pattern to this password. It didn't spell any word either forwards or backwards. I asked the neighbor where he came up with the password. He said it was chosen years ago using an automatic generation feature offered by EarthLink, his ISP at the time. The e-mail address is long gone, the neighbor told me, but the password lives on.
No doubt, this neighbor should have changed his password long ago, but there is a lot to admire about his security hygiene nonetheless. By resisting the temptation to use a human-readable word, he evaded a fair amount of cutting-edge resources devoted to discovering his passcode. Since the code isn't likely to be included in any password cracking word lists, the only way to crack it would be to attempt every eight-character combination of letters and numbers. Such brute-force attacks are possible, but in the best of worlds they require at least six days to exhaust all the possibilities when using Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service. WPA's use of a highly iterated implementation of the PBKDF2 function makes such cracks even harder.
Besides changing the password every six months or so and not using a 10-digit phone number, my neighbors could have taken another important step to improve their WiFi security. WPA allows for passwords with 63 characters in them, making it possible to append four or five randomly selected words—"applesmithtrashcancarradar" for instance—that are easy enough to repeat to guests who want to use your wireless network but are prohibitively hard to crack.
Yes, the gains made by crackers over the past decade mean that passwords are under assault like never before. It's also true that it's trivial for hackers in your vicinity to capture the packets of the wireless access point that routes some of your most closely held secrets. But that doesn't mean you have to be a sitting duck. When done right, it's not hard to pick a passcode that will take weeks, months, or years to crack.
With odds like that, crackers are likely to move onto easier targets, say one that relies on the quickly guessed "secretpassword" or a well-known Shakespearean quote for its security.

$25,946 in 1995 has the same purchasing power as $26,712.12 in 1996. Over the 1 year this is a change of $766.12.
The average inflation rate of the dollar between 1995 and 1996 was 2.89% per year. The cumulative price increase of the dollar over this time was 2.95%.
The value of $25,946 from 1995 to 1996
So what does this data mean? It means that the prices in 1996 are 267.12 higher than the average prices since 1995. A dollar in 1996 can buy 97.13% of what it could buy in 1995.
These inflation figures use the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) consumer price index to calculate the value of $25,946 between 1995 and 1996.
The inflation rate for 1995 was 2.83%, while the inflation rate for 1996 was 2.95%. The 1996 inflation rate is higher than the average inflation rate of -1.50% per year between 1996 and 2023.
USD Inflation Since 1913
The chart below shows the inflation rate from 1913 when the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index (CPI) was first established.
The Buying Power of $25,946 in 1995
We can look at the buying power equivalent for $25,946 in 1995 to see how much you would need to adjust for in order to beat inflation. For 1995 to 1996, if you started with $25,946 in 1995, you would need to have $26,712.12 in 1995 to keep up with inflation rates.
So if we are saying that $25,946 is equivalent to $26,712.12 over time, you can see the core concept of inflation in action. The "real value" of a single dollar decreases over time. It will pay for fewer items at the store than it did previously.
In the chart below you can see how the value of the dollar is worth less over 1 year.

Calculate Inflation Rate for $25,946 from 1995 to 1996
To calculate the inflation rate of $25,946 from 1995 to 1996, we use the following formula:
$$\dfrac{ 1995\; USD\; value \times CPI\; in\; 1996 }{ CPI\; in\; 1995 } = 1996\; USD\; value $$
We then replace the variables with the historical CPI values. The CPI in 1995 was 152.4 and 156.9 in 1996.
$$\dfrac{ \$25,946 \times 156.9 }{ 152.4 } = \text{ \$26,712.12 } $$
$25,946 in 1995 has the same purchasing power as $26,712.12 in 1996.
To work out the total inflation rate for the 1 year between 1995 and 1996, we can use a different formula:
$$ \dfrac{\text{CPI in 1996 } - \text{ CPI in 1995 } }{\text{CPI in 1995 }} \times 100 = \text{Cumulative rate for 1 year} $$
Again, we can replace those variables with the correct Consumer Price Index values to work out the cumulativate rate:
$$ \dfrac{\text{ 156.9 } - \text{ 152.4 } }{\text{ 152.4 }} \times 100 = \text{ 2.95\% } $$
Inflation Rate Definition
The inflation rate is the percentage increase in the average level of prices of a basket of selected goods over time. It indicates a decrease in the purchasing power of currency and results in an increased consumer price index (CPI). Put simply, the inflation rate is the rate at which the general prices of consumer goods increases when the currency purchase power is falling.
The most common cause of inflation is an increase in the money supply, though it can be caused by many different circumstances and events. The value of the floating currency starts to decline when it becomes abundant. What this means is that the currency is not as scarce and, as a result, not as valuable.
By comparing a list of standard products (the CPI), the change in price over time will be measured by the inflation rate. The prices of products such as milk, bread, and gas will be tracked over time after they are grouped together. Inflation shows that the money used to buy these products is not worth as much as it used to be when there is an increase in these products' prices over time.
The inflation rate is basically the rate at which money loses its value when compared to the basket of selected goods – which is a fixed set of consumer products and services that are valued on an annual basis.

Beyoncé exhibit to debut at Rock Hall of Fame
NEW YORK – A fashion exhibit centered on Beyoncé will debut at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in a section previously featuring only Hall of Famers.
The Rock Hall announced Friday that outfits from Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance and music videos will debut Tuesday in the Ahmet Ertegun Main Exhibit Hall in its Legends of Rock section, next to iconic pieces from Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Bruce Springsteen.
The 32-year-old Beyoncé would be eligible for induction into the Rock Hall as a member of Destiny's Child in 2022 and as a solo artist in 2027.
The exhibit in Cleveland, Ohio, will feature Beyoncé's ubiquitous black leotard from her "Single Ladies" music video, as well as her body suit, skirt and jacket from her Super Bowl performance last year in New Orleans.
Rock Hall curator Meredith Rutledge-Borger said they have been trying to court Beyoncé "for a really long time."
"When we looked at the depth of the amount of stuff that she was willing to send, we just thought, 'The only way we can really showcase these items is to put them in the Legends of Rock area in the museum,' which really is the spot that we have to pay tribute to legends of rock, which Beyoncé has proven herself to be," she said in an interview.
Lee Anne Callahan-Longo, the general manager of Beyoncé's production house, Parkwood Entertainment, said the singer was honored and humbled by the opportunity to have her personal items in the museum.
"For an artist to be able to have a presence where all of her idols and mentors live, it is a big deal," she said. "It's very meaningful to an artist when you feel like you've accomplished certain levels and to be asked to be part of this before she's eligible, I think that's really special."
Beyoncé's Givenchy gown from the 2012 Met Gala and her tank top, denim shorts and leather pumps from her 2003 "Crazy in Love" music video also will be on display, among other outfits.
The singer's inclusion is part of the Rock Hall's push to bridge contemporary icons with classic ones. The Rock Hall launched its "Right Here, Right Now" exhibit featuring items from Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and the Black Keys earlier this month.
"We felt that (Beyoncé) really needed to take her rightful place alongside Aretha Franklin and the Supremes and Janis Joplin," Rutledge-Borger said. "Rock and roll has an intergenerational appeal and we want to make sure we're hitting all the right notes and keeping up with what's happening today and what's legendary today."

Article by Forbes: Joresa Blount
In 2018, Asia was one of the leading regions in terms of growth of blockchain jobs, cryptocurrency usage, innovation, and general openness. Despite some early woes with China banning ICOs, China still produces nearly 70% of crypto mining activity.
For users and entrepreneurs, the Asian ecosystem is in general a friendly one. For example, in Singapore Bitcoin is taxed as a good rather than a currency, setting a 7% flat tax for trades or purchases using Bitcoin. In Japan, messenger giant, LINE, was just granted a crypto exchange license from the Japanese financial regulator. In Korea, news just broke that the country's largest entertainment company would be launching its own token.
Besides the name brand companies that are exploring crypto solutions, there are hundreds of innovative startups and founders looking to radically disrupt their respective industries with blockchain technology. This list contains ten innovative blockchain startups based in Asia worth watching, including exchanges, fintech startups, and more.
Today In: Innovation
1. Level01
Level01 is the world's first broker less derivatives exchange in collaboration with Thomson Reuters. Through using blockchain technology, the platform eliminates middlemen while providing a decentralized trading experience. Users can trade derivatives and options in forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, stocks and indices, all from the Level01 platform and app.
Level01 does this by using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for transparent and automated trade settlement on the blockchain, with their unique Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics called Fairsense that provides fair value pricing dynamically to counterparties in a trade, based on current and retrospective market data from Thomson Reuters. The platform and app are currently undergoing stringent beta testing by 50 experienced traders.
2. Galaxy Pool
Galaxy Pool, also known as GPO, is a brand-new asset issuance style on blockchain that utilizes intelligent contracts for initial digital asset issuance. In general, GPO assets can be best described as mining machines used to explore various kinds of digital assets that can obtain value-added benefits of GPO through the repurchase and destruction of pond profits.
With this brand-new asset issuance style on blockchain, more humanistic investment opportunities with free withdrawal rights can be provided to investors.
3. Biki
Headquartered in Singapore, BiKi.com is a global cryptocurrency exchange ranked Top 20 on CoinMarketCap. BiKi.com provides a digital assets platform for trading more than 150 cryptocurrencies and 220 trading pairs. Since its official opening in August 2018, BiKi.com is considered one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchanges in the world with an accumulated 1.5 million registered users, 130,000 daily active users, over 2000 community partners and 200,000 community members in under a year.
BiKi's competitive advantages include helping projects with marketing, influencers, brand awareness, and community growth in the Chinese markets and abroad. With a global approach, BiKi also helps Chinese companies go global and international companies penetrate Chinese markets.
4. Whitebit
With a global team of over 100 people, Whitebit is a professional digital asset trading platform that services most major Asian markets via a European license. The exchange holds 95% of user funds in cold wallets and offers users an intuitive user interface with real-time orderbooks, charting and technical analysis tools, and automation features. Whitebit's major competitive advantage is processing speeds of up to 10,000 trades every second and 1,000,000 TCP connections.
Whitebit has also announced the release of S.M.A.R.T. Box, a program that allows users to budget and allocate funds based on unique plans with varying durations and interest rates. Next is the launch of margin trading in Q4 2020, as well as mobile iOS and Android apps and an eventual US license.

The Mentalist: Did Jane's Plan Backfire?
[Warning: The following article contains spoilers about Sunday's episode of The Mentalist. Read at your own risk!]
So much for a tattoo being the surefire way to determine who Red John is.
On Sunday's episode of The Mentalist, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) gathers the five remaining Red John suspects - Bret Stiles (Malcolm McDowell), Ray Haffner (Reed Diamond), Thomas McAllister (Jack Plotnick), Reede Smith (Drew Powell) and Gale Bertram (Michael Gaston) - at his house to determine once and for all which one is his nemesis. As he's rounding the quintet up, we learn a couple of important things: first, that the FBI has reopened their investigation into Bret Stiles, but Stiles isn't worried about being found because he's dying getting ready to "elevate himself to another plane," in the parlance of Visualize.
Also, Stiles and Bertram whistle a creepy tune at different points in the episode - Bertram just before he makes a mysterious phone call, and Stiles as he's the first to arrive at Jane's house. We know that Red John was described as a good whistler in Jane's psychiatrist's notes. But, we've also heard Haffner, McAllister and Smith whistle at odd moments in earlier episodes. Is it a clue or just a red herring?
Who is Red John? Vote in our poll!
Fast-forward to Jane's awkward party. Armed with a clue from Red John's latest victim that RJ has a tattoo of three dots on his left arm, Jane tells his five guests that he knows one of them is the killer, and unceremoniously orders them to lose their shirts. When they disrobe, Jane sees that no less than three of the men (McAllister, Smith and Bertram) have the tattoo. "It's not what you think," McAllister tells Jane, who's pointing a shotgun at his face. So which one is Red John?
Unfortunately, once again, Johnny Crimson seems to be a step ahead of Jane: the episode ends with Jane's strategy literally blowing up in his face, as the house (presumably with Jane and the five suspects still inside) explodes just as Lisbon (Robin Tunney) is seen running up the driveway.
TVGuide.com turned to Mentalist writer Ken Woodruff, who penned the episode, to break down the major developments in "Fire and Brimstone."
Is the information that Bret Stiles only has a couple of weeks to live trustworthy?
KenWoodruff: We should definitely trust that, especially given Jane's trust of that. Any time [Jane] buys into it, which he does in this episode, it's pretty safe to say that it's trustworthy.
Does that make the case for Stiles being Red John stronger or weaker? On the one hand, is he physically capable of committing all these murders? On the other hand, he might be motivated to finish his mission before he dies.
Woodruff: You brought up both sides of it, which is exactly what we were sort of hoping for. He is a Red John suspect. I think he's been one of the strongest Red John suspects since his character's introduction, and you get to see him I think in a vulnerable way that we haven't really seen him in before. He's on the run. He's trapped by the FBI. He's forced to live sort of like Julian Assange in this consulate. So maybe what we're hoping is you think a little bit less of him. You think maybe he is on his way out and not capable, just because you sort of seem to feel a little empathy for him.On the other hand, if we are getting to the end of Red John, it's sort of perfect timing. Maybe he's resolving some final things. And the line "a dying man does not fear death" I think could mean a lot, just given how truthful that can be. He has nothing to lose at this point.
Photos: The best/worst TV wigs
There are also some key moments in the episode between Jane and Lisbon. Lisbon, for the first time, says that she wouldn't stop Jane from killing Red John. Should we believe her?
Woodruff: I wanted people to believe it in the scene, but Jane sort of calls out exactly what the truth is. He sarcastically says, "So let me get this straight. After 20 years in law enforcement, you're suddenly changing your opinion." I think it is a lie on Lisbon's part, and I think Jane's calling that out. It's one of the reasons for his deception later on, because he knows that she's a good person in spite of herself. She wouldn't be able to go through with this, and I think Jane knows that by now.
That's their classic dichotomy. Lisbon is very by the book, whereas Jane's motivated by a personal need for revenge and doesn't feel the need to play by the rules.
Woodruff: Absolutely. And we said it early on in the series, where he says, "When I find Red John, I'm going to kill him." And she says, "I'm going to stop you." It's a lie for sure in this episode. But she really means it. She wants to stop him from doing this. The other thing in the script is, she does believe he's sort throwing his life away if he does [kill Red John]. It's going to have some serious repercussions.
Is there also a sense of them wanting to protect each other? Jane wanting to protect Lisbon by not putting her in a position of having to stop him, and Lisbon not wanting him to do this on his own?
Woodruff: I think it's very selfless, and it sort of represents the deep caring and the level of love, in a way, that they have for each other. It absolutely means it's more dangerous for Jane to do something like this on his own, but he's willing to sort of risk that if it means protecting Lisbon. And vice versa. She could be throwing her career away and she could be throwing her life away if she goes along with this and isn't able to stop him. And I think they're both willing to take that chance for the other person.

But for Jane, is him leaving Lisbon on the cliff solely because he wants to protect her, or is it also that he has a need to finish this by himself?
Woodruff: I think it's somewhere sort of in the middle. That's how I wanted to write it. At the end of the day, when push comes to shove, I think he wouldn't let anyone stand in his way, even if that means hurting Lisbon to a certain extent. When he ditches her and drives off at the beach, that's not a nice thing to have done, by any means. (Laughs). I laughed every single time we filmed that scene. I got a kick out of it. But it's a sad, hurtful thing to have done. ... My wife leaned over and punched me in the arm when she watched that. At the end of the day, [Jane's] wife and daughter were murdered by this man, and I don't think he's going to stop at anything, really.
Before he ditches her though, Jane has a nice speech where he tells Lisbon how much she means to him. It seems genuine, but is it just a diversion tactic? Could it also be his way of saying goodbye in case he doesn't survive the confrontation with Red John?
Woodruff: I'm so glad you thought that it played on those different levels, because that was the hope for it. I think absolutely he wants the opportunity to say goodbye if something does go wrong. Also, he was being deceptive with her, but the best lies are sort of hidden in truth. So when he says the things they say on the bluff, in my opinion, he really meant them and that's why they're so effective. And that's why even Lisbon - the sort of wary detective - doesn't see it coming, because it just hits her in such an emotional place.
Will their heart-to-heart be revisited later this season?
Woodruff: We're exploring a lot of that. We're just now into the first couple of episodes of the new [post-Red John] world, and there's so much going on and so much that we're setting up and changing that it's a tricky one to answer. But the dynamic between Jane and Lisbon is such a core part of the show. That's always going to be there. It may change and adapt, but it'll always be the heart, I think, of the show.
Photos: The most memorable TV weddings
What's the significance of Jane bringing the five Red John suspects to his house?
Woodruff: There really wasn't another setting that was as fitting, that had as much emotional resonance and just meant as much. It's a charged place, as soon as you step foot inside that door, as soon as Jane looks at the smiley face that's faded after 10 years. To me, there was just nowhere else to do it.
With Haffner, Bertram and Smith all having the tattoo, is it safe to assume that it relates to the Tiger Tiger conspiracy within law enforcement?
Woodruff: Absolutely. It's definitely related to Tiger Tiger, but how it's related is still a little bit of a mystery. It's going to be explained and explored further in the coming episodes.
Since they don't have the tattoo, can Stiles and Haffner be ruled out as suspects at this point, or is that jumping the gun?
Woodruff: I think it might be jumping the gun, only because as soon as more than one person has the tattoo, it sort of throws into question the whole theory that Jane's been operating on up until this moment. So I wouldn't throw it out ... just given the nature of our show and how we twist things around, and Red John as a character, how sort of capable and deceitful he's been able to be all these years. Don't forget, Jane's been in the place where he's been 100 percent positive of Red John before and he was wrong. So I wouldn't underestimate Red John.
25 totally unnecessary TV spin-offs
Being so close to catching Red John, where is Jane's head in the final moments of the episode, leading up to the (quite literally) explosive ending?
Woodruff: I just haven't seen [Baker] go there and be that way very often in the series. I think it's really, really fun to watch. He brings a menace and a sort of danger that you don't always see from Patrick Jane. ... You can really feel it in those scenes, and on set it's the same way. Those scenes in particular I feel are really interesting for his character, to go to that place.
We've heard Red John's voice before and it doesn't match up with any of the suspects. How will the show resolve this?
Woodruff: We definitely will deal with that, and I think it's done in a really, really great way that's going to be coming up in [Episode 8]. ... We were very aware of that and conscious of it going forward and in dealing with Red John and [his] voice and all that stuff. So it definitely pays off, and faithful viewers will, I think, be satisfied by it.
What did you think of the episode? What caused the explosion at Jane's house? Who will make it out alive? And who do you think is Red John? Weigh in below!
The Mentalist airs Sundays at 10/9c on CBS.

Creating a search marketing campaigns can be a rewarding experience, but it can also create frustration.
In this post I will try to inspire you to come up with new and fresh approaches to keep the fun going.
Managing a interesting search marketing campaign can sometimes be difficult when you need to come up with ways to market your company. A good search marketing campaign captures the target market's attention. You need to keep the readers interested in the story, and they will continue to read if done right.
Use of your own staff in Tuvalu to manage projects outsourced to the search marketing professionalOften, people in the Tuvalu-department can have broader knowledge of what is going on locally than what you can expect from a search marketing professional far away or what the people at the headquarters of your organization have detailed knowledge about. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is good use of resources to engage internal human resources locally in relation to the search marketing professional. Below I will highlight some of the things that need to be thought of.
Is there any difference when using a search marketing professional in Tuvalu compared to working with this internally?Should you hire professionals from a search marketing professional in Tuvalu or can one just as well use staff in the organization to handle search marketing in the firm?The questions you need to ask yourself needs to be addressed in a serious way. In this article I will discuss some of the things you should be aware of before deciding whether a search marketing professional can be useful or whether it is better using internal staff at the house at the local branch office in Tuvalu.
The project you are thinking of setting out to a search marketing professional can be time consuming and difficult to learn, but it can be well worth the time and resources
Good search marketing toolsThere are some things you need to be aware of when using a search marketing professional – whether this is handled by your department in Tuvalu, or centrally at the corporate headquarter. Below is a handy checklist of things you need to think about, as well as the best tools you can use for either free or commercial tools where free alternatives are not available or significantly inferior to the commercial ones.
Google AlertsTo be on top of things, it is important to know what happens as early as possible. Google Alerts sends you an email every time someone mentions the words and phrases you specify. This can be anything from trademarks that are important to you, people of interest or general words and phrases that are important to your business. You can have alerts for all employees, freelancers you use, your trademarks including websites you run and words and phrases you focus on. All of this gives you a good overview of what is being talked about that matters internally. Google's notification is free to use and helps you to be early in terms of being on top of what your competitors in Tuvalu are doing, potential public relations disasters in the form of negative reviews and much else useful.
Majestic.comMajestic SEO is the world's largest link index. You can use this tool to find out everything of interest about links to your own pages and what your competitors locally in Tuvalu are doing, or what national and international competitors are up to. Links to your website and subpages are crucial to your search engine rankings, so this is important to keep tabs on.
Ranks.nlRanks.nl has a number of professional SEO tools that I can really recommend. One of the tools I use most is Page Analyzer. With this tool, you can check keyword density on each subpage of your domain to optimize for keywords or phrases. If the search marketing professional you are planning to use is at all professional, they probably use the tools available from ranks.nl – or similar tools extensively.
