He firmly believes that his time spent in intelligence analysis, which was not then computer-driven, enhanced his abilities to problem-solve: a skill that is fundamental to the success of the Veriton Group today. This was one of his favourite roles where he headed teams dealing with everything from kidnappings to triad-related crime, again an ideal background for private investigations. In the 1980s, he worked in the Criminal Intelligence Bureau (CIB). Highlights of his career included project managing the police side of Hong Kong’s new airport at Chek Lap Kok in the 1990s and leading the Counter-Terrorism and Internal Security Division immediately after 9/11 in 2001. In other SE Asian countries, HKPS works with partner private investigative agencies to provide a complete service from verifying and serving at an address to the swearing of an affidavit.Ĭhris was ideally placed to set up a private investigator company having worked in the Hong Kong Police Force for over 35 years. To circumvent common issues of serving in China, HKPS established a team of multi-lingual servers, based in Hong Kong, to serve in China and swear in Hong Kong. The result was HKPS – focusing on the legal serving of documents on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and outlying islands but using experienced, private investigators.įollowing on from the success of Hong Kong serves, it was evident that China was a country where international lawyers were struggling to locate and serve individuals.

How to scan a QR code that’s displayed on your screen There’s also usually no real need to choose a paid QR code scanner app, but note that the free ones tend to be ad-heavy, and it can be easy to accidentally tap an advert rather than the QR code link, so double check you’re tapping the right thing. The exact process will vary from app to app, but will be broadly in line with the methods above – once you’ve opened the app and got its QR scanning screen displayed, just point your camera at the QR code and it should automatically scan and provide you with a link to the contents. As with any other method for scanning a QR code though, you will typically need an internet connection for it to work. Tap on that to head to the website or other location hidden within the code. Point Google Lens at the QR code for a second or two and it will highlight the code and display a link to its contents. This looks a bit like, well, a camera lens. To activate this, just launch Google Assistant (usually by saying “Hey, Google”, or long-pressing the home button), then tap the Google Lens icon. Google Assistant can also scan QR codes using a tool called Google Lens, just as long as your phone is running Android 8 or above. How to scan QR codes with Google Lens on Android If you’re still having no luck, then chances are your phone’s native camera app can’t scan QR codes, but not to worry, there are other ways to scan them, detailed below. Some phones also require you to enable QR code scanning on their main settings screen, so you might have to do some digging. To do this, tap the Bixby Vision icon in the top left corner of the camera app. Similarly, in the Edge app for Android, just tap the camera icon in the search box and choose Barcode.Note that on some Samsung phones you’ll also need to enable Bixby Vision within the camera before QR code scanning will work. In Firefox for Android, you can scan a QR code simply by tapping the address bar and pressing Scan. Tap the three-line button in the bottom-right corner of the screen, choose Settings and select "Useful features." Switch on "QR code scanner," then tap your address bar and select "QR code icon" to add a scanning shortcut to the browser. On Samsung phones, you can activate this option in the Samsung Internet browser. Rather than scan a QR code with your camera app and then open its link separately in your browser, some Android browsers let you scan and open codes directly. How to scan a QR code with your Android browser ![]() Also, unlike many free QR code scanners, it’s completely free of ads. We recommend QR Code & Barcode Scanner (opens in new tab), which works quickly even when you’re some distance from a code and doesn’t require an internet connection. On older phones that run Android 7 (Nougat) or earlier, you’ll need to install a third-party app to scan QR codes. Alternatively, install the Google Lens app (opens in new tab) to add a shortcut to your home screen. Either long-press the Home button or say “Hey Google” to open Assistant, then tap the Google Lens icon. ![]() ![]() If your phone is running Android 8 (Oreo), you can scan QR codes with Google Lens via Google Assistant. How to scan a QR code on older Android phones You can also access the "Scan QR code" option by swiping down from the top of your screen to open the Quick Settings tray. On Samsung phones, which use their own technology for scanning QR codes, ensure that "Scan QR codes" is turned on in the Camera app’s settings. Go into your camera app’s settings and switch on Google Lens there. If nothing happens when you scan a QR code with your camera, you may need to activate Google Lens manually. ![]()

Graduating with a degree in Sociology, a vacation to the Blue Ridge After attending the University of California, Los Angeles, and The irregular meter could be a way of subtly reinforcing that shift. Although it's probably overanalyzing Shakespeare's intent, the line marks the point where Antony, satisfied that he has placated the crowd, begins the whittling away at the reasoning behind Caesar's assassination. This line is a bit of an oddity, in that it's 12 syllables and doesn't read as an alexandrine or even particularly iambic. ![]() Here, only two lines after Antony say he hasn't come to praise Caesar, he already slips in the backhanded implication that some good died with Caesar. The marked pronunciation of interréd (Middle English enteren, via French enterrer, which derives from Medieval Latin interrare meaning "within earth") is another trick to keep the meter strict in this line otherwise, he would have written it as interr'd. Oft is a common Elizabethan contraction for often Shakespeare often uses oft to avoid the extra unstressed syllable in his verse. Here is a case where the regular iambic rhythm following the more varied rhythm of the line above aids the contrast that Antony conveys. The good is oft interréd with their bones Also, while Antony is clearly referring to Caesar in the line and the one that follows, it's not hard to imagine him making a subtle innuendo here about the conspirators. Besides, the real subject of Antony's rhetorical parallelism is good and evil, not living and dying. While that isn't completely out of the realm of possibility, it's a bit of a stretch. ![]() The hardest word to scan is lives if you scan it as stressed, you have four consecutive stresses in a row, and the line scans iamb/ pyrrhic/ spondee/ spondee/ iamb. This is a line harder to scan than it might seem at first. This is a calculated tactic to disarm a crowd firmly on the side of Brutus when Antony takes the pulpit. Here's the first irony of Antony's speech, in that he is unequivocally here to praise Caesar. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.Īntony follows with a line of straight iambic pentameter punctuated with a feminine ending. Remember also that Antony has entered the Forum with Caesar's body in tow and will use the corpse as a prop throughout his oration. Antony also echoes the opening line that Brutus uses ("Romans, countrymen, and lovers!"), but conspicuously rearranges it where Brutus begins with "Romans" to reflect his appeal to their reason, Antony begins with "friends," which reflects the more emotional tact he will take throughout the rest of his speech. The succession of hard stresses is also Shakespeare's way of using the verse to help Antony cut through the din of the crowd. ![]() "Friends, Romans, countrymen." / / - / - / - /įriends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears įrom a rhythmic perspective, the trochaic feel of this opening immediately commands attention. ![]() (Please do choose the character that you want the items to be on forever, as they cannot be traded.

The company is now sponsoring the development of a VPN protocol known as WireGuard that aims to provide better security and performance than currently available on the market.Īndroid, iOS, Windows, and macOS users can currently explore WireGuard through IVPN’s apps via a free trial account for experimental testing purposes. When it comes to innovations, IVPN’s future is bright. The content includes everything from an introduction to VPN services and questions to ask your VPN service provider to advanced techniques using VMs, VPNs, and Tor. ![]() The company also publishes regular privacy articles designed to educate the public on privacy and anonymity through VPNs. “We also support organizations working to ensure online rights, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Open Rights Group.” “IVPN is run by information security experts and privacy activists who put principles before profit,” Viktor said. However, it is able to stand out from the competition via its strong ethical standards and support for the industry. The company is relatively small when compared with some of the more prominent players on the market. The entire IVPN team, made up of 13 people from eight countries, is driven by a passion for protecting customers from online surveillance. “So, I switched from gathering data to helping people protect data.” “Once I learned how the system worked, I decided I didn’t want to be a part of it anymore,” he said. Viktor told us that he is a digital marketing professional turned fervent privacy activist who has observed the data collection game from multiple perspectives. We try to be very transparent about our team and how we conduct our business.” “You need to know who owns the service, what their intentions are, and what they do to earn your trust. “Generally speaking, the most important consideration when choosing a VPN is trust,” he said. Viktor said the company performs regular independent audits through services such as Cure53 to verify the integrity of the product. IVPN is also designed to ensure easy setup, fast connections, no DNS leaks, and no logs (as verified by independent audits). “With AntiTracker, as you move around on different websites and apps, all these requests in the background from companies who are trying to get your data are blocked.” “Our goal is to create the best solution for privacy protection,” Viktor said. IVPN’s AntiTracker, for example, can be easily enabled in the IVPN app to block ads and data tracking instantly. IVPN’s privacy protection solutions arm more than 120K Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android users around the globe with strong encrypted internet connections through multiple servers designed to provide the ultimate in privacy.īut the company offers much more than a VPN service. IVPN is a trusted solution for users across the globe to secure top-notch privacy protection. With a focus on innovation, including implementation of the revolutionary WireGuard protocol, it’s a safe bet that IVPN will continue to hone its ethics-backed produce suite for decades to come. Ultimately, the company’s distributed team of self-proclaimed privacy advocates is on a mission to maintain the trust of its customer base, which is now made up of more than 120K users spanning a dozen countries. This dedication to integrity and transparency makes it harder for the company to compete in today’s crowded VPN arena, but that’s a price IVPN is willing to pay. “We operate in a way that upholds high ethical standards, meaning that we don’t use third-party tools and tracking, we don’t use Google Analytics, we don’t advertise on Facebook or Google, and we don’t participate in pay-for-play advertising. “They frequently use third-party tools and trackers, misleading affiliate promotions, and targeted advertising.”įor the past decade, IVPN has worked to build a transparent, ethics-backed alternative to privacy protection by advocating for principles over profit. “There are a lot of VPNs that claim to protect consumers but use tactics that don’t honor privacy concerns,” said Viktor Vecsei, CMO at IVPN.
