FINGERPRINT STUDY OF 1000 SINGAPOREANS SHOWS HIGH SELF-MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE TRAITS: BRILLIANAIRE

Brillianaire’s dermatoglyphic personality and potential testing uncovers major personality traits of Singaporeans across all agesSingapore firm believes such data will help Singapore chart a better future by tapping on its strongest resource: people
SINGAPORE, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Brillianaire, Singapore’s first self-development consultancy to use dematoglyphics services extensively for children and adults, has for the first time, collated data collected from more than 1,000 Singaporeans to provide a preliminary indication of what drives its citizens.
Singapore’s true wealth lies in its people and the founding father of Singapore, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, would be heartened to know that three generations of talent cultivation and training have cultivated a population with exceptional resilience and high intrapersonal intelligence, as shown through a fingerprint analysis of its citizens.
Brillianaire’s sample size of 1,000 dermatoglyphics data includes both adults and children. While innate traits such as resilience and self-management are strong across all age groups, the data appears to show that Singapore’s older generation are born with a higher degree of self-management skills compared to its younger generation – indicative of the fortitude of the founding generation of Singaporeans perhaps?
Upon being presented with this data, Ovidia Ong, the founder of Brillianaire thought, “This is so Singaporean”. She then went on to verify the data against her partner’s data of Hong Kongers, which showed an entirely different set of inborn characteristics.
“I was thrilled to discover that indeed, Singaporeans rank very high in self-management and adaptability – both traits that showcase our resilience and ability to self-regulate,” adds Ovidia. The charts of both datasets are shown Appendix A.
The 200-Year Science of Dermatoglyphics: Linking Fingerprints to Brain Development
In the past, when doctors discovered babies born without brains, they also noted the absence of fingerprints as well. This led medical experts to believe that the brain was linked to the fingerprints. Later medical research determined that fingerprints and the neocortex develop simultaneously, which established a scientific relationship between fingerprints and brain function. Depending on ridges, line types and direction, an individual’s personality type and brain dominance could also be determined at birth, leading to experts developing dermatoglyphics tests to help one ascertain their inborn traits.
Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints to determine a person’s inborn traits, characteristics and potential. 200 years ago, in 1823, John E Purkinji published his thesis on fingerprint patterns classification and in 1892 Sir Francis Galton (Charles Darwin’s anthropologist cousin) scientifically established that fingerprints were individualistic and permanent. In 1920 Elizabeth Wilson started analysing brains scientifically to check on the differences between people with schizophrenia, low intelligence and normal people and in 1926 Dr Harold Cummings coined the word dermatoglyphics. He is recognised as the ‘Father of Dermatoglyphics’ for his lifetime studies of ridge patterns found on the palms of human hands. His methodology is used commonly in the diagnosis of some types of mental retardation and schizophrenia amongst others.
Dermoglyphics was also by the former USSR in the 1970s to select its candidates for the Olympics – as it turned out, the USSR took home 50 and 125 gold medals in 1972 and 1976 respectively.
Singapore’s Future Through Its Fingerprints?
Through Brillianaire’s data, it shows that Singaporeans have high self-management, resilience, scientific aptitude and lower artistic inclination, all seemingly aligning with our overall direction, academic success and professional resilience as a nation.
“While preliminary analyses also show that Singaporeans excel in scientific careers and generally not in sporting or artistic careers, this is just a generalisation of what we are best at. Among us, there are sporting and artistic talents who should be cherished as truly unique and not within the norm,” adds Ovidia.
Brillianaire is excited to share its initial findings, which may benefit city planners, strategists, and human resource departments. The company plans further analyses to create a detailed white paper on ‘What Is the Singaporean Made Up Of?’ for general use.
“For now, I am just happy to share our data so that whoever finds it interesting may reach out to us, to take the guesswork out of what they are best at, what job they would excel in, or which role is best suited for which individual. At Brillianaire, we believe that the use to dermatoglyphics will also enhance a parent’s relationship with their child as they will better understand how to hone and guide them based on their inherent personality traits,” concludes Ovidia.

CASE STUDY: FROM CONFUSED STUDENT AT 5 TO A DEAN’S LISTER AT 19
Five years old and facing confusion in the classroom, Mignon Low left her worried mother deeply concerned about her learning and future prospects. Traditional methods seemed to leave Mignon behind, and a sense of frustration hung heavy in the air. Desperate to find a solution, Mignon’s mother turned to dermatoglyphics.
The analysis proved to be a turning point. With a newfound understanding of her daughter’s strengths and weaknesses and unique learning style, characterised by a slower learning speed and a strong auditory preference, Mignon’s mother was empowered to craft a personalised learning journey for her. This was not just about adding enrichment activities; it involved strategic adjustments. Some existing classes, while well-intentioned, were not the optimal fit. By strategically focusing on targeted methods and allowing Mignon the time she needed to absorb information, a dramatic shift began.
Fast forward 14 years later, and the transformation is undeniable. The once-struggling student has blossomed into a confident young woman. At just eight years old, she had the courage to step onto the stage as an emcee for a school event. Her dedication to piano resulted in her achieving the highest grade, Grade 8 – a testament to her perseverance and focused learning. At school, Mignon also received numerous awards for “Most Outstanding Performance” and at 19 consistently found herself on the Dean’s List – a roll of honour for the best academically-performing students of each cohort.
Brillianaire’s programme was not a quick fix – it was a roadmap to unlocking Mignon’s full potential. By understanding her learning style and tailoring her education accordingly, it transformed a path of struggle into one paved with success and confidence.

Apollo and San Jose Earthquakes Announce Official Sleeve and Go-to-Market Partnership, Bringing the AI GTM System to Major League Soccer

First-of-its-kind partnership to help Earthquakes capitalize on soccer’s surging popularity through AI-powered GTM transformation
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Apollo, the AI go-to-market system, announced today a multiyear Official Sleeve Partnership with Major League Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes that entails becoming both the club’s Official Go-to-Market Partner and the first go-to-market (GTM) company to combine a professional sports sponsorship with a full-scale partnership for revenue operations transformation.
As soccer continues its unprecedented rise in popularity across the United States, with MLS seeing a 62% year-over-year increase in viewership to kick off the 2026 season, the unique partnership positions the Earthquakes to modernize their GTM, accelerate revenue and capitalize on the sport’s expanding global audience.
In the partnership, Apollo will serve as both a brand sponsor with its logo featured prominently on the right sleeve of the Earthquakes’ jersey, and as a technology partner, powering the club’s GTM strategy. The club will deploy Apollo’s system across key revenue-generating functions, including group ticket sales, sponsorship pipeline management, inbound lead routing and season ticket renewals, creating a modern GTM system designed to drive fan engagement and commercial growth.
“We see this partnership as a natural extension of Apollo’s mission to make world-class go-to-market accessible to everyone by bringing it to the world’s most popular game,” said Matt Curl, CEO of Apollo. “Soccer is entering an incredible growth phase in the U.S., creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for clubs to deepen fan relationships and accelerate commercial growth. Every professional sports team is running a revenue business focused on finding customers, engaging fans, growing sponsorships and driving renewals. By bringing together data, intelligence and execution into one system, we’re helping the Earthquakes build a modern commercial operation that will become a model for the future of sports.”
The partnership reflects Apollo’s broader vision that every organization can benefit from its AI GTM system. With the rise in soccer’s popularity, clubs face increasing pressure to convert fan interest into lasting relationships, ticket sales, sponsorships and recurring revenue. While sports organizations have historically relied on fragmented tools across ticketing, sponsorship sales, CRM and marketing, Apollo brings those workflows together into one connected system to help organizations capitalize on this moment.
For the Earthquakes, that means:
Modernizing group ticket sales workflowsImproving inbound lead managementGrowing sponsorship pipelineStreamlining season ticket renewal campaignsGiving sales and marketing teams a unified system
“While excitement around soccer continues to grow across the country, we’re investing in the technology and systems that will help us better engage our supporters and continue growing our commercial business,” said Earthquakes President Jared Shawlee. “I started my career in sales and have never seen the kind of technology that Apollo provides. This will transform our approach to sales and marketing by giving us one system to connect data, automate workflows and create a more connected experience for Quakes fans throughout their journey with the club.”
“We are excited to roll out the Apollo AI GTM system to revenue teams across our organization,” added Earthquakes Chief Strategy Officer Ian Anderson. “Apollo is at the forefront of AI-powered GTM and the Quakes are committed to being ahead of the technology curve for our industry.”
The Earthquakes become Apollo’s first official sports partner, laying the foundation for a broader strategy to bring modern GTM technology to sports organizations worldwide. Apollo plans to use the partnership as a blueprint for working with hundreds of professional sports organizations facing similar revenue and commercial challenges.
“This is just the beginning,” added Curl. “Professional sports organizations have the same GTM challenges as fast-growing businesses. We’re excited to demonstrate what’s possible when data, intelligence, and execution come together in a single system to help teams build stronger relationships with fans, partners, and customers.”
The partnership will officially debut ahead of the Earthquakes’ annual California Clasico match on Saturday, July 25, against the LA Galaxy at Stanford Stadium, with Apollo and the club jointly celebrating the launch through customer events, social activations and in-stadium experiences.
About Apollo
Apollo is the AI GTM System that uniquely combines data, intelligence, and execution in one loop helping every business find and win their next customer. Trusted by millions of users and over 600,000 companies worldwide, Apollo combines one of the industry’s largest B2B contact databases with a purpose built GTM intelligence engine and a full execution stack, in an all-in-one system.

CIQ Arms Federal Agencies and Contractors with Kernel-Level Detection and BOD 26-04-Compliant Remediation
Published

RLC Pro Hardened and Ascender Pro together give federal teams kernel exploitation detection as it happens and CVE remediation before it wipes out an entire fleet
RENO, Nev., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CIQ, the founding commercial sponsor of Rocky Linux, today announced the launch of an RLC Pro Hardened and Ascender Pro deployment that gives federal agencies real-time kernel exploit detection, audit-ready compliance, and automated remediation in a single deployment. The pairing gives federal teams a stronger position inside the three-day remediation window Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04 sets for the highest-risk vulnerabilities on federal systems.
On June 10, 2026, CISA issued BOD 26-04, and the three-day clock starts when a flaw enters the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, not when a patch ships. For the most dangerous vulnerabilities, the exploit often arrives before the patch does, leaving agencies with a compliance deadline and no fix to apply yet. Non-compliance penalties can include a range of administrative consequences, including greater regulatory oversight and asset disconnection.
RLC Pro Hardened, CIQ’s federal-ready Enterprise Linux distribution, answers that gap. It is the first Enterprise Linux distribution to ship runtime kernel exploitation detection enabled and supported by default, giving agencies a record of what happened during the window before a fix shipped. CIQ delivered that capability well before BOD 26-04 put federal agencies on a three-day clock.
“A single critical vulnerability can impact an entire federal fleet before it’s even confirmed as a CVE,” said Gregory Kurtzer, founder and CEO of CIQ. “RLC Pro Hardened’s LKRG catches the exploit behavior at the kernel the moment it happens, patch or no patch. Once remediation is required, Ascender Pro orchestrates it across the entire fleet and proves it happened, system by system. Agencies get both sides covered without rebuilding their infrastructure.”
RLC Pro Hardened ships with Linux Kernel Runtime Guard (LKRG), which validates kernel integrity continuously and records kernel-level exploitation as it happens. The distribution also arrives audit-ready, with FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography and CIQ-engineered lockdown playbooks for DISA STIG, CIS and NIST 800-171.
Ascender Pro adds Reaqt, an event-driven engine that watches fleet logs, matches them against rule sets, and fires the right Ansible playbook automatically. Across a fleet, that closes issues faster than manual, ticket-driven review.
More About BOD 26-04
BOD 26-04 replaced the severity-score deadlines of BOD 22-01 and BOD 19-02 with a risk model. It scores each vulnerability on four factors: public exposure, presence in the KEV catalog, exploit automation and technical impact. A vulnerability that meets all four carries a three-calendar-day remediation deadline, the shortest CISA has set in a Binding Operational Directive. Agency remediation policies must support the directive by August 7, 2026.
About CIQ
CIQ is the founding support and services partner for Rocky Linux and a leading provider of enterprise Linux infrastructure. CIQ delivers commercially supported Linux offerings, high-performance computing solutions and AI infrastructure to enterprises, government agencies, research institutions and supercomputing centers worldwide. CIQ’s products include the Rocky Linux from CIQ (RLC Pro) family of operating systems, Ascender Pro for IT automation, Fuzzball job-based container orchestration, Warewulf cluster provisioning and Apptainer, the leading container system for high-performance computing.
