Digimarc Corporation is a provider of enterprise software and services. The company's software which includes digital identifiers (i.e., serialized QR codes and digital watermarks) is designed to address counterfeiting, product authenticity, recycling accuracy, and supply chain traceability. Digimarc products are created for multiple industries such as apparel, consumer packaged goods, health and beauty, and automotive.

With the 2022 acquisition of EVRYTHNG, a software company based in London, Digimarc added a digital product cloud to its roster of products.

History 
The company was founded by Geoff Rhoads in 1995.

In 1996, after initial venture funding, the company released its first product: a digital watermarking plug-in bundled with Adobe Photoshop, Corel and Micrografix software.

In 1997, Bruce Davis was appointed CEO and the company's first digital-watermarking patent was granted. Today, the company has nearly 1,100 innovations patented by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office.

In 1999, the company went public with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) which raised more than $90 million. That same year, the company contracted with a consortium of central banks to develop a global system used in deterring digital counterfeiting of currency.

In 2001, the company acquired a business division of Polaroid Corporation. Those assets led to the establishment of Digimarc ID Systems®, a division of the company that would eventually focus on protecting the authenticity of driver licenses in 37 states, which was sold off in 2008.

In 2004, the company was named one of the 25 fastest growing companies by Forbes magazine. 

In 2015, the company received an Emmy Award for Technology & Engineering for its work in the entertainment industry.  

In 2017, the company was issued over 100+ new patents for innovations in watermark application and verification, augmented reality, and machine learning. That same year, the company opened offices in Cologne, Germany and Tokyo, Japan.  

In 2021, CEO Bruce Davis retired and was succeeded by Riley McCormack who had previously served as Lead Director of the Digimarc Board. The company entered semi-industrial trials as part of the Digital Watermarks Initiative HolyGrail 2.0., an initiative that pulled together 100 companies focused on reducing plastic waste.  In November, the company announced its plan to acquire EVRYTHNG, a software company based in London that specializes in providing products with a digital record on the web.

In 2022, the company's digital watermarks received a 99% detection rate during a semi-industrial trial as part of the HolyGrail 2.0 initiative.

Lulu Merle Johnson (September 14, 1907 – October 19, 1995) was an American historian and university administrator. She was the second African-American woman to earn a PhD in history in the United States, and the first to do so in the state of Iowa. P. G. Dagbovie has described Johnson as being part of the "first distinguishable coterie of formally trained black women historians" in the U.S. She became the namesake of Johnson County, Iowa, in September 2020.

Life and career

Lulu Merle Johnson was born in 1907 on a farm near the small town of Gravity in southwestern Iowa; the land had been purchased by her grandfather in 1882. She moved to eastern Iowa in her late teens, and graduated from Clinton High School in 1925. She earned a BA from the University of Iowa, before going on to receive an MA in history in 1930 for a thesis entitled, "The Negro in Canada, Slave and Free." Once she had earned her MA, Johnson taught history and politics at Talladega College (1930–31) and at Tougaloo College (1931–40).

Johnson worked intermittently at the University of Iowa throughout the 1930s on a PhD in history; she also undertook some graduate study at the University of Chicago. She was supervised by Winfred T. Root, chair of the department, and by Harrison John Thornton. In 1941, Johnson successfully defended her doctoral dissertation, "The Problem of Slavery in the Old Northwest, 1787–1858." In doing so, she became the first African-American woman to receive a PhD from the University of Iowa, and the second African-American woman in the United States to earn a doctorate in history after Marion Thompson Wright.  While at the University of Iowa, Johnson received funding from the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation to support her doctoral research.

Johnson faced discrimination during her time at the University of Iowa, including being forced to take a swimming class as a requirement of her doctorate, even though she was enrolled in the history PhD program, and was not allowed to use the university swimming pool at the same time as whites.

Johnson went on to teach history at historically black colleges such as Florida A&M University, and West Virginia State College, before she joined the faculty of Cheyney University of Pennsylvania in 1952. There she served as a professor of history and also as dean of women students. A longtime member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Johnson retired in 1971 to the seaside community of Millsboro, Delaware. She died there in 1995.

John J. Higgins (May 17, 1865 – January 25, 1944) was an American politician who was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1906 to 1907 and district attorney of Middlesex County, Massachusetts from 1908 to 1913.

Early life
Higgins was born on May 17, 1865, in Boston. He prepared for college at Phillips Exeter Academy and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1890.

Politics
Higgins was president of the Ward 3 Republican Club in Somerville, Massachusetts. He was a member of the city's board of aldermen from 1903 to 1905 and was president of the body in 1905. From 1906 to 1907 he represented the 25th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

In 1907, Higgins ran for Middlesex County district attorney. He faced Arnold Scott, Nelson P. Brown, Melvin M. Johnson, and James G. Hill for the Republican nomination. At the Republican county convention, the delegates deadlocked and adjourned after 18 hours. The following day, Higgins won the nomination on the 24th ballot.

In 1909, Higgins and his assistants secured the conviction of Chester S. Jordan, a vaudeville performer and the brother-in-law of Jesse Livermore, for the murder of his wife. Following the conviction, doubt was raised over the sanity of juror Willis A. White. The case was appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which ruled on May 27, 1912, that "White was of sufficient mental capacity during the entire trial of Chester S. Jordan until after the verdict was returned, to intelligently consider the evidence, appreciate the arguments of counsel, the rulings of law, the charge of the court, and to arrive at a rational conclusion". Jordan was executed on September 24, 1912.

In 1909, Higgins office prosecuted Hattie Le Blanc, a 16-year-old Acadian maid from West Arichat, Nova Scotia, for the murder of her employer, Clarence F. Glover. Le Blanc was found not guilty.

In 1913, Higgins was upset in his bid for reelection by Democrat William J. Corcoran, who won a three-way contest that also included Progressive candidate Philip M. Clark.

Death
In January 1944, Higgins visited Mount Dora, Florida to recuperate from pneumonia and an operation. He died on January 25, 1944, at Mount Dora Hospital at the age of 79.

Shawinigan-Sud is a predominantly French-speaking settlement in the Mauricie area in Quebec, Canada, on the Saint-Maurice River.  In 1996, its population was 11,804.

History

Shawinigan-Sud was incorporated as a village in 1912 and was called Almaville until 1948.  It developed primarily as a residential hub for Shawinigan.  Its status was upgraded from village to town in 1961.

Prior to the municipal reorganization in Quebec in 2002, Shawinigan-Sud was a separate municipality in the Le Centre-de-la-Mauricie Regional County Municipality. In January 2002, it was merged into the new City of Shawinigan.

In colloquial language, the older and lower section of Shawinigan-Sud, closer to Saint-Maurice River, is called Almaville en bas.  The rest of the community, which is built on higher ground, is known as Almaville en haut.

Citizens Bank Financial Center is an architectural landmark in downtown Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It was designed by the architect D.H. Burnham and completed in 1911. An illuminated sign has sat atop the building since 1912.

Description

Building architecture 
The building is 13 stories high (the top story was added in 1926) and rises to a height of . It was built as the headquarters for the Miner's National Bank but over the years has had a number of owners, including the United Penn Bank and Mellon Bank. The building features a recess, giving it an "H" shape. Atop the second floor, a sculpture of a nesting eagle and a flag pole can be seen from the Franklin Street side of the building. A frieze at the top of the building is decorated with lion heads and a number of interesting embellishments can be seen climbing the facade.

Signage 
In 1912, an illuminated sign was placed atop the building by the Miners National Bank. The building's subsequent owners have allowed the sign to remain, and to this day the green Citizens Bank sign sits at more than  above street level. In 2013, Citizens Bank moved from the building after more than a decade, and while the building now houses offices and apartments, the Citizens Bank sign remains.
