A year ago I had too much red wine and placed a $975 bid for a 2004 BMW 760

Primary Damage: TOP/ROOF Secondary Damage: MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES

Why 760? Well, I already own BMW M73 v12 engine but without the body. So N73 being the next iteration wrapped into a body seemed like an obvious addition!

Well, I won that action. $975 final bid plus three kinds of fees turned into $1800ish out of pocket.

N73 is a direct injected evolution of port injected M73. As many other early GDI vehicles that one had injector control module separately from main ECU. As many other v12 engines this one has two ECUs to begin with, so two ECUs and two injector control modules, and one shared valvetronic control module - we have 5 control units driving one 12 cylinder engine.

Here are pages 1-5 of the 10 page engine wiring diagram

NJ DMV has noted that car had two owners while Copart was happy to sell the car with power of attorney from only one of the owners. Well, maybe that works in some states - but that did not work in NJ.

15 phone calls to copart broker, 23 phone calls to Copart and 2 calls to insurance company and four months later I got the missing power of attorney, this piece of salvage is now registered to me with a fancy salvage title. Salvage and rebuild titles are often confused - you cannot get plates and driver the car with salvage title, my next step should be salvage inspection - once I fix the damage which has totaled this piece of German engineering

I've called two of three state inspection locations and both were very clear that whatever is primary damage _has_ to be fixed. I will look for a shady tree repair a bit later, for now I need a bit of a break from logistics and want to start playing with actual electronics. Each inspection station visit is $200 so I have to make progress before I attempt.

Paul I am totally keeping GDI that's the whole point of this vehicle in my garage! To begin with I will run OEM driver boxes, later I might try rusEFI own GDI since we already have it idling the GDI Passat.

So pull the headliner and let a paint-less dent removal guy go at it?

russian Reader

The small deep dent between the trim and glass would probably be not reachable from the inside. Well, anyway. I assume that an expert guy would have done better, but where do I find a cheap expert for a car I cannot drive around between shops?

This is just an engine control test mule. I just need to give it a try with salvage inspection and move on, either with plates or without plates.

Do we know if paint code is mentioned anywhere on this BMW? Once I get the used headlight (ordered) we will invest another $50 into this glorious project to paint over the primer.

BMW's have a badge on one of the front strut towers with the paint name and code on it so you should find it there once you pop the hood.

Attacking it from the outside is probably the way to go, I can't imagine pulling the interior apart in one of these is an easy task.

TL,DR: rusEFI has GDI alpha version!

This v12 E65 was state of the art technology back in the day. First direct injected v12 engine - in this specific case that means two high pressure fuel pumps, well, realistically this engine is two inline sixes. Interestingly this engine has solenoid injectors not piezo injectors like many direct injected gasoline BMW in the early 2000s. I am not a huge expert on the differences but looks like BMW is now going back to solenoid injectors across the boad? Anyway, that's good for me because solenoid is definitely the more popular kind.

Also this vehicle has fully eclectically controlled transmission. While many transmissions in early 2000s still had mechanical linkage to the shifter, this one is fully CAN bus actuated - shift level is fully electronic no cables no nothing.

For my to drive around the block with rusEFI would mean to send enough CAN messages for transmission to operate, ideally properly operate not just limping mode operate. That would be a sub-project.

Another sub-project is actual direct injection! For that subproject I have another cheaper/simpler test mule - a 2006 Volkswagen Passat. Just four cylinder and much easier access to stuff if/when I break stuff while developing. So far I've managed to fry injectors a year ago and now in Janury I've fried the starter, but, this was not all in vain!

Because we now have GDI working on that Passat! GDI engine control has two extra pieces comparing to port injected engine control: you need high voltage peak/hold electrnics for solenoid injectors which have to deal with higher fuel pressure, and you have to control fuel pump engagement solenoid in order to keep fuel pressure at target. We now have both working!

2013 Reading: Glossolalia by David Jauss

By David Jauss

Press 53 (September, 2013)

I first became aware of David Jauss from reading his wonderful essays on the craft of fiction that appear often in The Writer’s Chronicle, the magazine of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs. Invariably, these essays are lucid and helpful. I was very pleased, then, to learn that Press 53, the publisher of my two short fiction collections, planned to publish Jauss’s new book, Glossolalia, and I was even more pleased when I was offered the chance to see an Advance Reading Copy. Having just finished reading the book, I feel honored that we share a publisher.

The book includes stories that have won Pushcart Prizes and O. Henry Awards and have appeared in Best American Short Stories. Some of the stories have been published in prestigious literary magazines such as StoryQuarterly, Shenandoah, New England Review, and Prairie Schooner. And all of the stories are rewarding to read.

My favorite story in the book is the title story, “Glossolalia,” which originally appeared in Shenandoah and also was reprinted in Best American Short Stories and the Pushcart Prize anthology. It’s a dark tale about a father who is struggling to take care of his family and the son who can’t quite bring himself to forgive him for his failures. The title refers to the religious act of speaking in tongues but also to the fact that this father tries to explain himself to his son in words that the son can’t, or won’t, understand. It’s a very powerful story.

But there are others that leave just as strong an impression. Another favorite is “Rainier,” also about a father who needs forgiveness from his son. I also loved “Tell Me Something,” a story about a couple who have been married for a very long time but are still learning about each other. In many of the stories, an outcast is looking for a way to fit in or, at any rate, to make his own way in the world. “Misery” (described as “after Chekhov”) is about a hunchback who has been humiliated by his colleagues. “The Bigs” is about a baseball player from the Dominican Republic who is out of place in multiple ways. In “Hook,” a man invents an explanation for his prosthetic hand. Not to mention the story “Shards,” which is about a man who—no, I’m not going to say what that one’s about except to say that it’s a pretty disturbing story.

The book begins with another very powerful story in this same vein. In “Torque,” a man has lost his family because of his obsession with owning a limousine. He buys an old Cadillac and plans to fix it up, but his wife gets fed up with him and his dream and leaves. Because he wants to turn it into a stretch limo, he cuts the car in half, an act that attracts the attention of a neighbor in a way that surprises the reader.

Glossolalia is a powerful collection of moving stories, unlike anything else I’ve read recently. You still have time to pre-order a signed copy.

CAPMAS: Media reports on number of Copts untrue

Abu Bakr al-Guindy, chairman of the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), on Wednesday said the media quoted him as saying the number of Copts in Egypt is 5.7 percent of the population.

“This was according to the 1986 census,” he said.

Guindy explained in a press statement that the United Nations Statistical Commission recommended to all statistical agencies in the world that the question of religion in a census should be optional. “That is why the 1996 and 2006 censuses did not cover this point,” he said.

“We are willing to make it an obligatory question in the 2016 census if people want,” he added. “But it doesn’t matter, for Copts and Muslims have equal rights and duties.”

03.06.17 Human Library event in Lasnamäe

Yes, it has happened for the second time! On June 3rd the second Human Library, organised with support of Youth Club Active, took place. Different as it was from the one that happened in February, it has nevertheless been a great event. It was considerably easier to prepare, given that many of our previous Books have kindly agreed to participate again, and we were very lucky with weather so we could hold the event outdoors.

Similarly to the previous event, we ended up having 27 Books (with one story being represented by a couple). However, this time the working language of the event was Russian, targeting the youth members of Club Active, who are mainly Russian-speaking. We still had 10 Books who did not speak Russian, but our audience turned out to be multilingual, so everything was good and running smooth.

Three 30-minute conversation sessions – we took into account the feedback from both Books and Readers after the previous event. We have also made the Book catalogue available online prior to the event, so people could have a look and possibly get curious about the concept, as well as have an idea which Books they might want to read.

Though, due to a sunny day in June there were a plenty of other events happening in town, so our audience was quite less than in February. However, from what I’ve heard from the Books so far, they thought such atmosphere with less Readers was more intimate and cosy.

All in all, the power and amazing influence of this concept was confirmed yet once again, and we are happy to keep working on next events. I want to express endless gratitude to my two companions, without whom it would have been impossible to carry it all through. And, of course, many thanks to Youth Club Active for technical support, refreshments and the space.

Steph Curry asked if he’s worried about losing Finals MVP

Though he won a championship with the Warriors in 2015, Steph Curry was not the Finals MVP. That honor, to the surprise of pretty much everyone, went to Andre Iguodala.

Now the Warriors are back in the Finals and find themselves up 2-0 over the LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. And, similar to last year, the MVP up to this point has not been Steph Curry. Though he has played well, it has been the Warriors’ supporting cast that has really shined, most notably Shaun Livingston, Draymond Green, and, yet again, Andre Iguodala.

We doubt this matters much to Steph (as long as the Warriors win), but some reporters just love to ask the stupid questions.

“I don’t know how to answer that one,” Steph replied with a smirk on his face.

And how could he? Here is a guy who is on the verge of winning back-to-back NBA titles after winning back-to-back MVP (one of which was unanimous), and this reporter can’t think of any other questions than if Steph is worried that his teammates (who helped get him to this point) will “steal” his Finals MVP.

Curry and the Warriors will have a chance to go up 3-0 in this Finals series when they play the Cavs Wednesday night at 9pm (EST). We’ll see if Steph can show why he was voted regular season MVP.

Quentin Tarantino to release Once Upon a Time in Hollywood novel

Quentin Tarantino to release Once Upon a Time in Hollywood novel

Quentin Tarantino is to release a 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' novel.

The director has signed a two-book deal with publisher HarperCollins, with the adaptation of his 2019 movie being the first to arrive next year.

The novel will focus on the protagonists of the motion picture – TV actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) – both forward and backward in time but it has been touted as a "shocking departure" from the film.

The second tome is entitled 'Cinema Speculation' and is described by the publisher as a "deep dive into the movies of the 1970s, a rich mix of essays, reviews, personal writing, and tantalising 'what if's', from one of cinema's most celebrated filmmakers, and its most devoted fan."

Announcing the project, Tarantino said: "In the 70s movie novelisations were the first adult books I grew up reading.

"And to this day I have a tremendous amount of affection for the genre. So as a movie-novelisation aficionado, I'm proud to announce 'Once Upon A Time in Hollywood' my contribution to this often marginalised, yet beloved sub-genre in literature.

"I'm also thrilled to further explore my characters and their world in a literary endeavour that can (hopefully) sit alongside its cinematic counterpart."

HarperCollins Vice President Noah Eaker added: "Quentin Tarantino's literary talents have been in plain sight since his first scripts, but to see how skillfully he endows his characters with life on the page and how he constantly takes a reader by surprise, even one who knows the movie by heart, is to see a master storyteller trying on a new form and making it his own."

Neon Drag Marble

Good morning lovelies & happy Tuesday! Hope you’re having a lovely start to your week.

Today I’m showing off a fun drag marble design I wore recently. I haven’t really done a drag marble in a while, & I thought one featuring a few neon-ish shades would be beautiful.

The polishes I used for this manicure are:

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Glow & Shine
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Get Mod
  • Sally Hansen MG Floresc-pink
  • Sally Hansen MG Electri-Lime
  • Sally Hansen MG Violet Voltage
  • Sally Hansen MG Sugar Fix
  • Dotting Tool Trio

I’m kind of obsessed with how these turned out! They remind me a bit of jawbreakers, which marble nails can do. I like the neon colours popping against the white base. They turned out exactly how I imagined in my head & I’m so happy about it!

Drag marble nails are one of those looks which I always think are going to be so easy, but then surprise me with difficulty, haha. In this case, I had to swirl my four polishes in the while before things started to dry… & I had to work fast! But, you know, I think in the end it gave a really cool effect, & I got lots of compliments on the finished look which always makes my day.

If I had to pick a favourite nail? Probably my middle nail. I think my swirling turned out best on that nail for sure.

What do you think about this drag marble look? Are you a fan of the neons against the white base?

Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & what colour combination you would do for a drag marble look!

Jewel Toned Drag Marble

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday. This week is almost over (& this month!) Of course, there is a crazy Winter storm headed our way this weekend, so we’re not as close to Spring like weather as one would like. & I am so over Winter! Case in point: the super short nails that I’m now rocking thanks to crazy temperature fluctuations.

I won’t like: I’ve been struggling with what to paint on my extra short nails — my inspiration is lacking. I used to be so good at this! I decided on some pretty jewel toned drag marble nails, which is something I haven’t done in a while. Plus I thought it would be a nice way to “pretty up” my super short little nubs.

The polishes I used for this manicure are:

  • Base Coat: Essie Millionails
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Essie Kimono Over
  • Essie Getting Groovy
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Late Night Lilac
  • Dotting Tool TrioI used the smallest tip to get the cleanest drag.

It’s been a while since I attempted a drag marble, & my ring finger is a little rough thanks to bumping it before it had a change to dry enough. But I think all 9 other nails turned out really gorgeous. The trick I’ve learned to drag marble is less movements turn out better than a ton. You really want to keep them down to a minimum, otherwise you end up getting a swampy look.

I’ve actually been turning to drag marbles more than I’ve even been photographing — they look complicated, but with the exception of dry time, they don’t take that long. & I love love love how they look — plus I always get a ton of compliments!

What do you think about this drag marble look? Is this something that you would wear on your nails? Let me know what colour combinations you would love to see!

Greyscale Quatrefoil

Good morning lovelies & happy February! It’s officially the month of love. 💗 But before I jump headfirst into all pink, all the time, I thought I would share a look a I created a week or so ago, when I was feeling the grey January blahs.

Today’s look started out as just a grey smooshy design, which was lovely, but looked like the perfect base from some tile inspired nails! So I pulled out one of my many stamping plates I don’t use nearly enough, & switched things up!

For this manicure, the polishes I used were:

  • Base Coat: Essie Strong Start
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Get Mod
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Grey Area
  • Essence Rock My World!
  • Starrily Vantablack
  • Clear Stamper (COFFEE10 saves you 10%)
  • Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-L003 (item #17921) — quatrafoil image (no longer available)

Seriously, how pretty is this greyscale look? I love how the base isn’t super in your face, & then the black really pops against it. Completely achieves the look I was trying to accomplish, & who wouldn’t want tile like this in their house? I know I certainly would! Plus it looks gorgeous posed against the greenery in my background (a plant shelf at work, right beside the window — the perfect nail art background!)

What do you think about this greyscale quatrefoil design? Would you wear something like this?

Metallic Smooshy Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday!

I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far. Today I have some more nail art to share with you that I recently did. I’ve been experimenting with different nail art techniques that I either haven’t done in a long time, or never tried. Today’s look is inspired by a technique by @grapefizznails — smooshy nails using a stamper!

For this manicure, the polishes I used were:

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Shiny Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Nail Primer
  • Color Club Silver Lake
  • Color Club You’re My Soul-Matte
  • Color Club Matte About You
  • Color Club Put A Ring On It
  • Bodico small clear stamper
  • Silicone nail art mat

So I definitely love how these turned out, but I don’t think trying to do a marble look like this is easiest with matte shades, which I decided to use. They tend to try faster than non-matte shades, so you get more blob-ish smooshes instead of the delicate effect that I see in a lot of others smoosh looks. I’m going to try it out again for sure, with a different variety of polish formulas. I

t was definitely an easy look to do, which I always appreciate, & I always love seeing other people’s smooshy nails, so I’m dedicated to nailing this technique! I’m already imagining one using a Valentine’s Day inspired colour scheme.

What do you think about this nail art look? Do you enjoy smooshy nail art looks? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & share any other nail art techniques you would like to see me try out!

Fall Drag Marble

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! How this week is speeding by so quickly, I have no idea. I know I’ve been pretty quiet on here; we spent Friday-Monday away for my Grandfather’s memorial, so I was pretty busy last week & basically everything took a backseat! But I’m back & I’ve got some new fun nails to share with you!

As I’ve mentioned before, Fall colours are pretty much all I’m grabbing right now. I’m so here for them! Today’s look combines a few darker shades, perfect for September, but still keeps things a little light. I’ll be honest, I’m totally counting down the days until Halloween designs can start! But I thought I would get a few other designs in beforehand.

For this manicure, the polishes I used were:

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Gel Couture Princess Charming
  • Essie Kimono Over
  • Essie Brides No Groom
  • Essie Mosiac On Down
  • Dotting Tool Trio — I used the smalled one (COFFEE10 saves you 10%)

I won’t lie, it’s been a while since I attempted a drag marble, & even though I’m a little rusty, I think these turned out cool. Sometimes I find my drag marbles turn into a big blobby mess, so I tried really hard to make sure the colours kind of stayed separated. I’m going to keep practicing, because it’s such an easy way to fancy up your nails.

Loving this combination of colours. I’ll be honest with the fact I have been kind of distracted from looking at all the Fall shades popping up in stores. I’m not much for buying nail polish online unless they’re special shades, & I haven’t really been out in stores perusing nail polish like I used to. So I’m really trying to go through all my old nail polishes from years past, & using them! I definitely have a lot of nail polish to choose from, haha.

What do you think about this drag marble look? Do you like the colour combination I went with? Have you ever tried a look like this? Let me know what you think down in the comments below, & whether or not you would try this look!

It’s frequently said that divorce is one of the most traumatic experiences a person can go through. In fact, some studies suggest that the only thing worse than a divorce is the death of a child. Although it’s widely regarded as a very difficult process, many people feel as though they can forgo therapy in order to save time and money. Alternatively, due to the mental health stigma in the United states, a lot of people have feelings of shame and embarrassment surrounding therapy. Though getting help from a qualified mental health professional may be overwhelming for some, attending therapy can help make the divorce process easier in the long run.

You’re Getting Mental Health Advice from Your Lawyer

Although your family law attorney likely knows a thing or two about marriage, divorce, and mental health during divorce, they are not qualified to give you advice on any of the aforementioned topics. Remember, you are paying your attorney to give you legal advice that’s customized to your specific situation. You are not, or at least you shouldn’t be, paying your attorney to give you any other type of advice. Not only is your attorney unqualified to give you such advice, they’re also likely going to charge a lot more for the time than a mental health professional, especially if the mental health professional is covered by your insurance plan.

You’re Ready to Slash Your Ex’s Tires

Your ex may be the type of person who can make the most laid back person have violent outbursts. If your ex’s behavior is inspiring you to behave erratically, or blow up their phone with wall texts about how terrible they are, it may be time to see a therapist. Even though your ex is the crazy one, your therapist may have some valuable insight as to how you can set boundaries and cope with your ex’s bad behavior. It’s totally normal for people to act as if they aren’t quite themselves when they’re going through the divorce process. Maintaining your mental health with the help of your therapist could help you achieve a sense of normalcy during a very stressful time.

You’re Feeling Overwhelmed

Divorce really can break people. We tell our clients that no one dies from divorce because it’s true: divorce itself can’t kill you. Leading attorney, Jill Coil even wrote a book titled No One Dies from Divorce. However, the stress, depression, and loneliness that can come with divorce has tragically driven many people to desperate measures. Regularly attending therapy sessions or going to support groups can help you develop healthy coping skills. Going through divorce can be overwhelming for even the most organized person. The coping skills you could develop in a therapeutic environment may help you get through a divorce with much less emotional trauma.

You’re Having Suicidal Thoughts

As we previously mentioned, no one dies from divorce; divorce itself cannot kill you. However, the feelings that come with divorce can be extremely challenging for anyone. Feeling lonely, isolated, withdrawn, and depressed, is completely normal. Others feel a sense of rage, anger, resentment, and more. These feelings can be intense, and they can lead people to some very dark places. Tragically, we’ve seen an increase in suicide rates due to the pandemic. The aforementioned, coupled with a divorce and powerful emotions, can be a recipe for disaster and tragedy. If you have thoughts of suicide, or you are considering taking your life, do not hesitate to reach out for help today. We’ve helped so many clients get through the divorce process and we can promise you with certainty that it really does get better. Having a better understanding of the legal process and your emotions will help you have a better perspective and provide some hope for the future. Your attorney and therapist working in tandem can assist you in accomplishing these tasks.

You’re Not in the Present

It’s normal for people who are going through divorce to have a difficult time being in the present. This may mean that a person is living in the past, longing for what they consider to be better times. Or, it may mean that the person is filling their lives with distractions and escapism. Sadly, many people choose to escape into recreational drugs or alcohol. Though these activities are able to offer short term relief, they often damage a person’s ability to achieve long term happiness. If you’re having trouble living your life in the now, attending regular therapy sessions may be able to help you be more available for the activities that really matter to you.

When You Need Legal Advice

If you’re ready to file for, or need assistance with your divorce, CoilLaw is here for you. Our attorneys have helped guide many clients through the divorce processes by giving quality legal advice and fighting for their rights. Though divorce can be an incredibly difficult time, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Data privacy has long been seen as one of the major non-monetary usages of blockchain technology. Many governments and corporations are already running recordkeeping systems based on distributed ledgers to securely store internal data.

Tech enthusiasts believe that blockchain has the potential to revolutionize personal data and identity management for private citizens as well, yet these hopes remain largely aspirational so far. One of the reasons for that is regulatory uncertainty: Lawmakers around the globe are having a hard time catching up with data security challenges that the sprawling online economy poses.

In 2019, the regulators accelerated their efforts to reinforce and standardize data security policies amid the growing realization of the economic value of data in several key jurisdictions. The field of privacy-enhancing technology continued to bear new solutions that will shape the industry as the new decade kicks off.

GDPR effect

Virtually all observers agree that the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation coming into effect has been a major influence on the global privacy landscape this past year. Although the process formally began in 2018, it was last year that saw the bulk of compliance and enforcement effort pick up real steam.

British Airways and Marriott became the first corporations to face multi-million fines under the statute’s provisions. The legislation’s global aftermath included many other jurisdictions seeking to attain a GDPR-compliant status to enable cross-border data exchange. Dean Steinbeck, General Counsel at cryptocurrency project Horizen, told Cointelegraph:

“As expected, many non-EU countries are following the EU’s lead and implementing rules similar to GDPR in their jurisdictions. For example, Argentina, Australia and Brazil have all moved to implement data privacy laws that closely resemble GDPR.”

Over in the U.S., legislators have been fiercely debating matters of data usage as well. A November hearing on the issue held by the Congressional Task Force on Financial Technologies revealed that neither Democratic nor Republican members were content with the state of the nation’s laws governing financial data practices. It appears, however, that federal-level regulation is unlikely to come along before the takeaways from the California experiment are in.

The Golden State moved to become the first to adopt its own regulatory framework, the California’s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which Steinbeck calls the most comprehensive data privacy law in the U.S to date. The law came into effect at the start of 2020, with CCPA-related notices pouring into compliance officers’ inboxes immediately.

Several state legislatures — Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey among them — have already moved or announced plans to consider their own privacy regulations. This has sparked concerns that data privacy landscape in the United States can soon become a patchwork of disparate laws, each one posing its own compliance requirements, said Jarno Vanto, a partner in the Privacy & Cybersecurity Group of the law firm Crowell & Moring.

Vanto doesn’t believe in adoption of a unified federal regulation as early as in 2020, as it will take time for California’s groundbreaking regulation to become operational before it can yield lessons for federal regulators to heed. He noted that CCPA seems to be off to a rather rocky start, too:

“A federal personal information protection bill is unlikely in 2020. The California State Attorney General did not finalize the implementing regulations relating to CCPA by the end of 2019 year, leaving companies seeking to comply with CCPA with some uncomfortable choices during the spring of 2020, particularly as the Attorney General has communicated that while enforcement will not begin until mid-2020, activities that have taken place during the first half of 2020 could also be subject to enforcement action.”

GDPR has also set a model in terms of the severity of fines. By instituting a hefty price for allowing data breaches and mishandling user data, regulators signal that they treat privacy seriously. For their part, corporations realize that the alternative to massive compliance costs is a comparably sized penalty charge. Michael Loewy, co-founder of privacy-focused protocol Tide, told Cointelegraph:

“The CCPA carries fines of $2,500 - $7,500 per record / breach which means embracing privacy is now mission critical for businesses in California specifically and more generally in the U.S. The projected CCPA compliance costs of $55B reflects this. We're seeing enterprise businesses going through privacy-open-heart-surgery, investing heavily to reduce the liability of handling sensitive consumer data.”

Cryptography on the rise

As stakeholders come to attach increased significance to data security, various subfields of cryptography — blockchain being just one of the technologies that make use of it — are seeing explosive growth of enterprise-oriented applications. Practitioners in the space expect the coming decade to be a boon to the industry.

Lilin Sun, the founder and CEO of cryptographic computing network PlatON, observed to Cointelegraph that cutting-edge technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, cloud computing and blockchain ensure that data is being reorganized, and thus, more data scandals will emerge in the near future:

“Privacy-preserving computation, with its profound potentials, will reach a breakthrough in this new decade. Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) and other subfields of cryptography, provide the provable security guarantee for data privacy.”

Jonathan Rouach, CEO and co-founder at blockchain firm QEDIT, also sees that the rise of Privacy-Enhancing Technology (PET) and a zero-knowledge proof will be of a huge significance following the events of 2019:

“Regulatory shifts have taken place alongside significant developments within the Privacy-Enhancing Technology (PET) space – as acknowledged by a recent World Economic Forum report – with a groundswell of momentum powering the ascent of Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptography among the enterprise community.”

Blockchain proponents believe that solutions based on the technology are ripe for solving the most pressing issues of data security while maintaining the balance between strong protection and providing third parties, such as law enforcement, with a measure of access, if necessary. Tide’s Loewy shared his sanguine outlook:

“Blockchain technology presents a significant opportunity to provide a killer application to address civil-rights / humanitarian protection aspects such as privacy, by providing ‘trustless’ handling of sensitive data. For the first time, there’s a technology that removes much of the risk surrounding the access and storage of sensitive data, including the human element, while remaining transparent and auditable to prevent abuse of power.”

Rouach offered another interesting spin on the relationship between blockchain and privacy. He suggested that DLT-based solutions might not only be seen as privacy-enhancing tools; in fact, some of them could use improved data security for their own sake. Rouach argued that insufficient privacy protections have historically impeded blockchain adoption:

“For example, without an added privacy layer, it is not practical for a supply chain consortium to deploy a blockchain for asset tracking along a supply route. From a competitive perspective, manufacturers in the consortiums cannot broadcast sensitive transactional details that reveal confidential information about their sales volume, pricing or trade partners.“

Challenges, old and new

Certain features inherent to blockchain technology do not align well with some foundational principles of data privacy central to the new personal information protection laws. The most conspicuous points of contention are blockchains’ immutability, meaning that sensitive, or “bad,” data that makes it to a distributed ledger cannot be removed if necessary. The second is the decentralized nature of true blockchains that makes it difficult to identify a party responsible for a violation. Crowell & Moring’s Vanto told Cointelegraph:

“Immutability prevents deletion, and lack of an identifiable “controller” (GDPR) or “business” (CCPA) is challenging, if not impossible. Solutions presented by regulators and various working groups such as the encryption of all data in a blockchain, or keeping all personal information outside the blockchain, are often technically challenging and difficult to implement in practice, and whether such solutions actually offer compliance is uncertain. This legal uncertainty creates a complex environment in particular for blockchain startups.”

There is, however, an ever deeper question lurking from behind these particular collisions with the law: Can a decentralized blockchain protocol be, say, GDPR-compliant at all? Or should it be? Paul Schmitzer, director of marketing strategy at privacy-focused Particl Project, believes that the answer is no. Schmitzer argues that pure blockchains are open-source and are not controlled by any particular entity. Therefore, they should not be required to follow GDPR or other similar regulations:

“There is no authority which can force regulations to be integrated into open code if the majority of node operators disagree with the changes. Truly decentralized blockchains really are at the edge of what's been done in the past and it's going to be a huge challenge for regulators to properly determine how to regulate these open protocols.”

Schmitzer also noted that blockchain projects vary widely in the level of decentralization, some of them being structured more like traditional, top-down financial service businesses. Regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, should apply their own judgement to determine the degree of centralization that characterizes a particular project on a case-by-case basis.

New frontiers

What are some big-picture takeaways that the 2019 privacy regulations trends hold for the blockchain industry? On its face, the general turn toward better protection of private data should be empowering for the space. Horizen’s Steinbeck shares this sentiment:

“I’m seeing renewed regulatory acceptance of encryption and a deeper understanding that privacy is important. I think the current trend of increased consumer data privacy protection bodes well for blockchain and projects that enable privacy.”

Privacy lawyer Vanto remains concerned about the tensions between blockchain projects’ essential affordances and the universal requirements of the emerging regulatory frameworks. Yet, he believes that there are ways for regulators to mitigate the adverse effects of this collision:

“Since virtually all of the information privacy laws that have been adopted or are now in the process of being adopted are to varying degrees incompatible with blockchain, we will likely see regulators adopting ‘safe harbors’ where blockchains that meet certain requirements such as encryption of personal information, will not be subject to enforcement action. Industry will play a significant role in ensuring that these safe harbors are compatible with technical developments surrounding blockchain.”

At any rate, given the current pace, at which encryption technologies develop, as well as major regulators’ newfound commitment to ensuring sufficient levels of personal data protection, 2020 is certainly poised to be an exciting year to watch regulatory developments in the privacy space.

The QQ Show of the Post-80s and the Metaverse of the Post-15s

Behind the capital-intensive investment in virtual people, virtual images are sinking from idol IP to ordinary people. From the Gartner curve, this could be a key application inflection point.

Virtual humans are becoming the first outlet in 2022.

On January 6, a news that Byte invested “Li Weike” pushed the popularity of virtual people to a new height. Before that, Teresa Teng’s “resurrection” appeared on Jiangsu Satellite TV’s New Year’s Eve concert, and Liu Yexi’s experience of raising 3 million followers in a video was constantly teasing the market’s enthusiasm for virtual humans.

In fact, since Zuckerberg hyped the concept of the metaverse in July 2021, technology companies have more or less started the layout of the metaverse. In China, according to incomplete statistics from the Business Data School, since July 2021, there have been 18 core investment and financing events related to virtual humans in the primary market.

The QQ Show of the Post-80s and the Metaverse of the Post-15s

Enterprises frequently raise funds, and new avatars are frequently launched. Among them, there are not only short video IPs like Liu Yexi and Li Weike, but also corporate IPs like Cui Xiaopan, an employee of Vanke; Star IP like Tasman.

But even so, for many people, they may still have many doubts about virtual people.

After all, on the one hand, virtual digital people have become a new thing that people are familiar with; but on the other hand, what is the difference between today’s virtual people and previous QQ shows? Are the previous virtual idols and two-dimensional images also considered virtual people? What is the difference between them and the current virtual people?

Following these questions, we will find that the current virtual digit and the previous avatar do not draw a clear line. In this process, if you really want to clarify the two, many virtual digital people today may not be called real “virtual digital people”.

Most “virtual people” are

How to define a virtual digital human?

According to Cheng Weizhong, founder and CEO of Zhongke Shenzhi, as long as it can move, have expressions and other settings, and can interact with real people, it should be included in the category of virtual people.

In general industry research and academic definitions, virtual humans are also a very broad concept. For example, according to the definition in the White Paper on the Development of Virtual Digital Humans in 2020 issued by the China Intelligent Industry Development Alliance, virtual digital humans can be roughly divided into service-type and identity-type. This can be subdivided into AI assistants, alternative real-life services, virtual anchors, virtual identities, etc.

But from a more specific point of view, in the movie “Out of Control Player”, which is considered by most to be an interpretation of the metaverse, the protagonist played by Reynolds was originally just a piece of program code. Like all NPCs in games now, they can only execute some Set up tasks.

But because of “out of control”, this originally lifeless program began to respond to some external environments, which made him a “virtual human” in the true sense.

The characteristics of the so-called “people” refer to the ability to make independent judgments and decisions, and to have freedom within a certain range.

Judging from the implementation form of most virtual digital humans, such as Luo Tianyi or Liu Yexi; in addition to the external image being the same as a human being, there is actually a whole screenwriter and director production team behind it. Everything it presents in front of us is interpreted in the way prescribed by the script, which is no different from the stereotyped NPC in the game.

So from this point of view, the current virtual people are not real virtual people. They are at most called “virtual puppets” and high-end QQ shows.

From a technical point of view, or from what these companies are doing in the current virtual human race, what everyone cares about is actually the “face”. What they are pursuing is how to use technology to make a projection of ourselves in the online world more conveniently.

Therefore, no matter it is applied by many enterprises now, the so-called deep learning algorithm and real-time rendering technology are essentially sinking the technology used in film and television special effects in the past, so that every ordinary person can use these technologies. Make a movie-like virtual image in the network.

From this point of view, the emergence of a real virtual person is definitely not just an application of images in the end. It may need to help people replace some simple and repetitive labor through its AI capabilities, like technologies such as robots and industrial robotic arms.

For example, Cui Xiaopan, Vanke’s 2021 Outstanding Employee of the Year and Virtual Digital Person, according to Vanke’s board chairman Yu Liang mentioned in his circle of friends that Cui Xiaopan quickly learned that people can discover in processes and data with the blessing of the system algorithm. The method of the problem is a thousand times more efficient than human beings in various types of receivable/overdue reminders and abnormal work detection. The write-off rate of prepaid receivables overdue orders she urged reached 91.44%.

Another example is the first AI sign language anchor created by CCTV News and Baidu Smart Cloud in November last year, which can not only provide sign language services to the audience without any interruptions throughout the year, but also undertake sign language translation work at the Winter Olympics.

Therefore, in these virtual digital people, the key is not just the generation of external images. It lies in the intelligent voice interaction technology, image recognition and other technologies behind its “human” image, and has created a set of decision-making systems that meet the needs of the position.

Although from the current point of view, many virtual people have already applied these technologies in the production process, but it is more used to generate a virtual image at a lower cost, rather than to receive information, judgment and decision-making, feedback Information and other applications that can make digital people more intelligent.

From this point of view, in addition to scenarios such as virtual anchors, virtual idols, and virtual spokespersons that have appeared now, virtual digital people will have more application scenarios, and may even replace/supplement many of the original human Participating service positions.

For example, in Neiflix’s sci-fi drama “Carbon Change” in 2018, the hotel where the protagonist played by Joel Kinnaman settled is an artificial intelligence-themed hotel. The hotel is equipped with artificial intelligence (virtual humans) from the front desk to the waiters. bear.

These will likely be the roles that real virtual humans need to take on in the future.

who is making virtual people

Looking back, looking at the current virtual digital human industry chain, it can be seen from the above investment and financing cases that capital favors landmarks, and can be roughly divided into two parts.

One is the creation and operation of virtual human IP.

For example, Burnmai Technology, which received millions of Pre-A rounds of financing in June last year, is mainly engaged in the incubation of hyper-realistic digital human storylines and traffic pools, business customization, derivatives and independent brand operations.

Shiyue Xingcheng, which received an angel round of financing led by NetEase in December last year, is mainly engaged in the research and development and operation of products and content such as virtual digital and virtual clothing in the field of fashion trends. Its three virtual human IP-Vila, Reddi and Vince have cooperated with many brands including Gucci, Max Mara, Air Jordan, China Li Ning and so on.

The culture of the next world has also created a rich virtual image business around virtual digital people. On the B side, Next World Culture created avatars Dili Lengba and Taosman for stars such as Dilireba and Huang Zitao; created avatars Beco, Huaxizi and Diandianzi for brands such as IDo Jewelry, Huaxizi and Yili Jindian; On the C side, the next-generation culture has also incubated its own independent IP images of virtual people, such as Nan Mengxia, a girl of national style and vitality, and Ling Ling, who appeared in the variety show “Colorful Youth”.

The advantage of these companies lies in their rich experience in IP customization and operation. For example, before Ranmai Technology entered the virtual human race, it had the experience and ability to incubate real-life Internet celebrities with over 100 million fans for many years. The virtual digital human AYAYI it created currently has 121,000 fans on Xiaohongshu.

But here it is also showing that this type of enterprise still regards it as a virtual idol when they operate virtual people.There is a professional content team behind it to customize all the content, cooperation, copywriting, and finally put it in the name of the virtual image.

In essence, the virtual person we saw at the front desk is just a concrete manifestation of the entire team behind it.

Different from the enterprises that build and operate virtual human IP, the other type is enterprises that focus on virtual digital human technology.

For example, on January 9 this year, Shiyou Technology, a full-stack virtual technology provider that completed the first phase of investment in the A+ round of tens of millions of dollars, mastered core technologies such as fast animation and real-time digital human, and independently developed a set of “” The real-time rapid virtual content production system of Puppeteer Virtual Factory can output virtual content through real-time motion capture, expression capture, and real-time rendering.

There are also Mofa Technology, which completed hundreds of millions of yuan in Series A financing in June 2019, focusing on key technologies such as real-time AI performance animation, real-time rendering, and real-time calculation.Not only can it complete the creation and operation of virtual humans, but also self-developed a three-dimensional AI virtual human capability platform to provide end-to-end virtual live broadcast technology services for downstream enterprises.

In November last year, PhaseCore Technology obtained 70 million yuan in financing. With its long-term accumulation in the field of 3D modeling, animation and rendering technology, it independently developed a virtual digital human engine and a hyper-realistic digital object platform to provide virtual human images. Technical Support.

Similarly, Zhongke Shenzhi, which received three rounds of financing last year, focuses on content production technology in the field of AI+XR, and has successively launched VR multi-person large space interaction system, AI digital human interaction system, virtual idol interpretation system, virtual preview A number of virtual human production technologies such as system, XR shooting system, etc., can not only help virtual human content production enterprises to speed up the process of producing animation videos, but also help enterprise users to quickly realize virtual live broadcast.

But as mentioned earlier, even in terms of technology, what most companies do focus on reducing the cost of virtual image production and simplifying the production process.

For example, Doug Roble, the technical director of Digital Domain, the company that made the virtual image for Teresa Teng, once introduced that when they first started the research and development of digital human technology, the production of a virtual digital human generally required a large amount of data to be collected through data capture and motion capture; Build and train a deep neural network, and finally render it through rendering technology.

Today, when these previous jobs and technologies are integrated, no professional equipment is required, and only an ordinary camera is needed to create a virtual image.

However, the AI technology that can help realize the intelligent interaction of virtual human has no particularly significant substantive breakthrough after the deep learning algorithm. Although there have been many in-depth explorations in practical application scenarios, it is far from a strong human who can understand and make decisions. Intelligence still has a long way to go.

Why is capital optimistic about virtual people?

Not all virtual people are real virtual people, so why is capital still so keen on virtual people? Is the current virtual person a bubble or an IQ tax?

First of all, we must be clear that the development of any technology is not achieved overnight, and the realization of a real virtual human must be a long-term construction process. Although virtual human technology has developed to a certain extent after more than ten years of precipitation, it is clear that there is still a long way to go.

On the other hand, for the current virtual human, the market is already very large and mature.

For example, thanks to the investment of many companies mentioned above in the production technology of virtual people, the production cost of ordinary virtual anchors has reached a very low state.

Taking the virtual live broadcast system “Chuangmengyi” launched by Zhongke Shenzhi in July 2020 as an example, its product price is 3588 yuan a year, which is less than 10 yuan a day on average. Its software not only has more than 100 virtual anchor characters of various styles, but also more than 100 2D and 3D scenes for different needs of freight yards. Users can also make models and scenes according to their own needs, and realize the camera, sound, etc. And many other ways to carry out the role-driven way.

The QQ Show of the Post-80s and the Metaverse of the Post-15s

(Yunbot Technology’s “Little K Live Ji” display)

In terms of entertainment virtual anchors, Yunbo Technology not only provides a full-stack 3D virtualization solution, but also introduces key technologies such as “Small K Video Motion Capture”, so that ordinary users can not only generate virtual images with one click for free, but also realize no need to wear Any hardware motion capture device can achieve high-precision 3D real-time capture of body, fingers, expressions, etc. only by relying on ordinary cameras.

The application of these technologies has greatly lowered the entry barriers for virtual anchors. According to the second quarter financial report of Bilibili, virtual anchors have become the fastest-growing category of Bilibili live broadcasts. In addition, according to the calculation of the virtual anchor data monitoring platform “”, the subscriptions and rewards of virtual idols on the B station last year increased by 350% year-on-year.

In addition to the sinking technology and lowering the threshold, more and more players join the virtual anchor, and more importantly, the value of the head virtual anchor is more and more recognized by the brand side.

Taking the early virtual idol Luo Tianyi as an example, in a live broadcast with Li Jiaqi in 2020, the pit fee has reached 900,000, which is much higher than the same as the head anchor, but the pit fee is only 60 Wan’s Luo Yonghao. And this also delineates a possible path for the commercialization of virtual anchors.

In addition, virtual human has the opportunity to be applied to all aspects of social life. For example, in the movie “Blade Runner 2049”, the giant avatar that can be seen everywhere has become the main form of advertising and content. Now in real life, this form of advertising display is also being gradually realized through virtual human technology.

All of the above, at the same time, allow the virtual human race track to have more room for imagination.

Finally, for many entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs who are looking forward to the Metaverse, they also have high hopes for the digital virtual human race known as the “Entrance to the Metaverse”.

For example, after investing in the next-generation culture, Feng Zheng, vice president of Shunwei Capital, said: “Digital human is the native interaction method in the virtual world, and will become the ‘APP’, ‘robot’ and ‘ID’ of the virtual world.”

Cheng Weizhong, founder and CEO of Zhongke Zhishen, also believes that the biggest difference between the Metaverse and the mobile Internet is that we will move from textual interactions that rely on mobile phones and computer systems to personalized exchanges that rely on talking to virtual people and issuing instructions. to transfer.

Therefore, the virtual human will become the interactive interface of the metaverse users in the future.

The virtual person and the metaverse are similar to the WeChat to the mobile Internet. Whoever can preempt the user’s entrance into the metaverse and integrate the user’s social relationship chain in the metaverse will be able to take the lead in the future metaverse and expand to other fields.

Perhaps, the QQ show of the post-80s is the metaverse of the post-15s.

It’s just that the imagination is beautiful, but whether the virtual digital person can bear the burden of the “portal” of the metaverse may take more time to stand the test.

NORD’s 6th ‘State Report Card’ Notes Progress, Raises Concerns

While progress was made last year on newborn screening and other policy issues critical to rare disease patients, a “State Report Card” argues that many concerns — notably out-of-pocket costs for prescription medicines and access to affordable comprehensive care — still need attention.

Those were the findings of the sixth edition of the State Report Card, produced by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and its Rare Action Network.

The report card project, launched in 2015, rates each state and Washington, D.C., on key issues that directly affect the more than 25 million U.S. residents who have one of roughly 7,000 existing rare disorders.

“The state report card provides insight into the advances being made at the state level in supporting Americans living with rare diseases, and identifies where we still need to focus attention,” Peter L. Saltonstall, NORD’s president and CEO, said in a press release.

“For almost 40 years, NORD has served as the voice of the rare disease community, and we are committed to fighting for rare disease patients and policy changes that will make a difference in their lives,” Saltonstall said.

“Our hope is that patients, advocates, and policymakers find the new State Report Card site a useful tool in their work on policies to best meet the needs of rare patients and families,” he added.

The report was compiled using data current as of November 2020 and provides detailed analysis across eight major policies, grading each state on its performance.

One policy is newborn screening, a practice in which clinicians collect a small blood sample from newly born babies to test for a number of serious health conditions, many of them rare disorders. The report indicates that many states increased the number of conditions for which they screen, removing possible future guesswork about children’s health and allowing for early treatment.

NORD advocates for a strong, well-funded screening program in every state.

As for Rare Disease Advisory Councils (RDACs) — advisory bodies that help the rare disease community have a stronger voice in state governments — six states last year successfully enacted legislation to create them.  New RDACs were launched in Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia. These additions bring the number of RDACs in the nation to 16.

A top NORD goal moving forward is to help more states enact RDAC legislation and to optimize existing councils.

In a key development, Oklahoma and Missouri last year expanded eligibility for their Medicaid programs, joining 38 states and Washington, D.C. in extending access to what NORD calls a “vital safety net.”

Several states, however, sought policies that could impede access to care, according to the NORD report. Those measures included the elimination of retroactive eligibility or prescription drug coverage limits. NORD wants patients to receive Medicaid services sans what it terms unnecessary and harmful barriers.

Another important policy issue for NORD concerns so-called step therapy. According to the advocacy group, health insurers use step therapy to control treatment costs by requiring patients to try one or more treatment options, and document their failure, before the patient can receive a covered prescribed medication.

Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Dakota last year passed new patient protocols requiring such documentation, adding to the list of 31 states with comprehensive step therapy protections. NORD supports policies to reform such therapy restrictions.

Regarding the issue of out-of-pocket expenses, New Jersey last year capped such costs at $150 monthly for each medication. In addition, Georgia banned co-pay accumulator programs. Such  programs are implemented by insurers and pharmacy benefit managers to limit the impact of manufacturer contributions on patients’ deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. NORD advocates for policies that lower out-of-pocket expenses and maximize access to needed treatments.

Other major state policies that were graded include medical nutrition, protecting patients in state-regulated insurance, and protecting patients in state Medicaid programs.

Patient stories about the policies graded by NORD are available on the report card website.
