BTG Transparent: a Live Balance Page for the BTG Endowment
by Edward Iskra | Dec 20, 2018 | Updates
To make it easier for the Community to monitor the Bitcoin Gold Endowment, we've created a transparency site. Click the button to see the current balance.
BTG Endowment Transparency
Source Code: https://github.com/h4x3rotab/btg-transparent
What's the Endowment?
The BTG Endowment supports the ongoing BTG project and is currently the only source of funding for expenses and salaries. All Endowment expenditures since it was launched have been made based on the decisions of the Board of the Bitcoin Gold organization. The Endowment is controlled by "four of six" multi-signature wallets, which ensures that no single individual can spend from the Endowment. (The initial Board was comprised of the six co-founders of the project, and the current Board membership is always publicly visible on the BTG Team page.)
no single individual can spend from the Endowment
Where is the Endowment?
These wallet addresses and balances have been public on the blockchain since they day they were mined (Nov 12, 2017). The addresses have also been published in a previous Endowment Wallet blog post.
This new website tracks the live unspent balance of the entire BTG Endowment, making it easy for anyone to check for themselves. Live balances for each wallet are pulled using the Insight API at the official BTG Explorer, but the balances can be checked at any explorer. The Live Unspent Total may take a moment to load because all individual wallet balances must be pulled, first.

All the addresses
The list of wallet addresses includes our Flexible Spending wallet. To simplify administration, some funds are periodically moved from an Endowment wallet into the Flex wallet, which requires only 2 of 6 signatures to be further spent. Expense reimbursements, salaries, bounties, or other expenditures are then paid from the Flex wallet. Any funds in the Flex wallet are unspent and belong to the Endowment, and are shown at the top of the list.
The other 152 wallets in the list are the original BTG Endowment ("premine") wallets which were mined in 2017. All of these wallets are "four of six" multi-sig wallets, with the six keys originally held by the six co-founders of the BTG project. In addition, 60% of the funds were mined into time-locked wallet addresses which gradually become available each month over the course of three years. (You'll notice there are four wallets for unlocked funds, and then four wallets for each month's time-locked funds – the wallets were broken into four groups with four different sets of six keys; this was insurance against the (extremely unlikely) event that some set of keys becomes exposed. See the Endowment Wallet blog post for exhaustive details on the mining process.)
Safety first!
This arrangement of wallets may seem overly complex at first glance, but the co-founders of the BTG project took the safety, security, and longevity of the mined funds very seriously. The multiple multi-sig wallets, time locks, and Board oversight ensure that the Endowment funds are not at risk.

Bitcoin Gold (codename BTCGPU) began as a fork of Bitcoin after block height 491406 on Tue, 24 Oct 2017 01:17:35 GMT and began being mined as a separate chain at block height 491407 on Sun, 12 Nov 2017 13:34:01 GMT. As described in the original Bitcoin Gold Roadmap / Whitepaper, the mining rewards from the rapid first 8000 new blocks (100,000 BTG, or 0.476% of the 21 Million BTG cap), were collected into a set of wallet addresses to form a fund to support the ongoing costs of the Bitcoin Gold project. These 100,000 coins, sometimes called a "premine," made up the BTG Endowment. All mining rewards after these first 8000 blocks accrue solely to the miners; no portion is diverted to the founders or the BTG project.

Only a block from the waterfront, the Alexis Hotel is actually a complex of three buildings, all with a place on the National Registry of Historic Places. The oldest part of the hotel was built in 1901, the newest in 1908. Beautifully renovated and restored in 2007, the Alexis (part of the Kimpton Hotels brand) maintains much of its historic character with features like wood-burning fireplaces and exposed brick. Because the hotel is comprised of three different buildings, none of the rooms are the same and the features vary. Some rooms have balconies, some face the courtyard, and the fireplaces aren't limited to the best-of-the-house suites. The rococo-meets-modern design scheme, a rotating art collection (to complement current showings at the nearby Seattle Art Museum), nightly wine reception (5–6 p.m.), and pet-friendly policy all add to the relaxed, residential atmosphere. And because the hotel is small and full of character, it's a favorite for destination weddings.

Podcast transcript #60: The best advice you can hear about leveraging Douyin for marketing

China internet users China Paradigm China Paradigms Podcast and Vlog Internet in China Marketing in China Podcast Social Media in China
Find here the China paradigm episode 60. Learn more about Fabian Ouwehand's personal story in China and get the insightful pieces of advice about leveraging Douyin for marketing.
Matthieu David: Hello, everyone. I'm Matthieu David, the founder of Daxue Consulting, a strategic market research company in China and this is the China paradigm podcast. Today I am with Fabian Ouwehand. You are the founder and CEO of UPLAB. UPLAB is a professional agency in influencer marketing in China.
BECOME AN EXPERT OF DOUYIN BY LISTENING TO THIS PODCAST
You are working with brands in order to connect them and work with influencers. So we are going to go more in-depth from this. I think they are doing more than this and it's actually a bit reduction of what you do, what I'm saying right now. You do more as well in terms of companies. You're involved in other two companies, one is LivelyCare and one is LHBS. You are going to tell me if I'm correct that you are involved in three different companies with three very, very different objectives and scope of business.
Thanks for being with me, Fabian. Correct me with what I say, don't hesitate, because you seem very active and I feel UPLAB was very clear for me on what it is. I was a bit less clear about the tools involved that you have and you listed on LinkedIn. Thanks, Fabian, for being with us. What are your three functions today?
Fabian Ouwehand: Yes, I've been always doing a little different kind of stuff. I've kind of always hustled around. That's partly because I'm still pretty young. I never went to university or something like that. So I've always had kind of my own stuff and my own company over the last couple of years. I've been always doing different things and I also had a lot of different interests. I'm working with a lot of different clients.
I started my company, UPLAB, about two years ago, when I just moved to China at that time. Myself, I have a marketing background, more into marketing technology, growth marketing, growth hacking. And when I moved to China, it was like a totally different type of environment. I wasn't very familiar with China, so I've learned a lot by doing things, a lot by learning meeting different people and stuff like that. I've been doing all that for the last couple of years and actually a lot by learning by doing, which is more like the growth mindset too and headed that more into influencer marketing in China, and that's what we're doing today.
On the side, in the last couple of years, I have a nonprofit in mental health, where we basically build a community of people who have been suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. in Asia. I have been developing that actually into a platform where Asian people can easily find the right professional health based on how they feel, based on their symptoms, but also finding the right treatments. So if you're in need, you don't know if you need to have a psychologist, psychotherapist, etc. That's mainly what I'm doing actually on the sides right now, just because out of our personal interest.
I'm involved in LHBS – correct – for a couple of months where I do pro-marketing consultancy for European companies, where I take a lot of my experiences which I had from the Asian market, and helping some European companies here. I've been kind of involved in different things, but at the end of the day everything comes together again too, so they all benefit each other.
Matthieu David: Where are you based?
Fabian Ouwehand: I'm currently in Berlin but I'm traveling all over the place. I've lived in Estonia before a couple of months and before that in Shenzhen in China for about a year, Singapore before that. But still, my home base is in Berlin, but I'm regularly in Asia. Almost every month I'm back in Asia, going around, and across Europe.
Matthieu David: Tell us more about UPLAB. I believe UPLAB is what you spend most of your time on, isn't it?
Fabian Ouwehand: Yes, correct.
Matthieu David: If you can tell us more about how many cases you have worked on, how many clients you had, how many influencers you are working with, a bit of number, a bit of the idea of the size of what you have done to give a bit more substance.
Fabian Ouwehand: Yes, sure. We started about two years ago, what I mentioned, in 2017. We started actually with the basic things. We started doing marketing for WeChat and Weibo, content marketing, etc. and it worked actually pretty well. We grew fast to about 10 people in just a couple of months when I started out there. But then, yes, it didn't excite me that much.
Then from that moment we pivoted, we started doing more with influencer marketing in China. We actually have been involved with the growth of Douyin from the early days and I started actively learning how to leverage Douyin for marketing. My girlfriend who's involved also in our company has been one of the first contracted influencers on ByteDance, for Douyin's new project at that time. From there, we have been building an influencer community on Douyin. Currently, there are about 500 influencers in our network which we like/know personally and have a close relationship with.
After some time, the content marketing for WeChat and Weibo didn't excite us that much anymore, so we kind of downscaled our company. We're now with about four people that are more involved in the strategy and we execute a lot of content marketing on Chinese social media through influencers. So basically, our influencers in our network are our content marketers, to say it like that. We have influencers where we run promotions to influencers themselves. But we also use influencers to do content marketing on Chinese social media for brands accounts.
We've been keeping it small. We have been working actually with a lot of SMEs, small-medium companies from the U.S., from Canada, from Europe, from Australia, and from China itself. I've been working with different clients, but because we want to have a lot of focus on our clients, we've been working only with maybe four or five a month. We're at the same time to really give a lot of focus. We're a very small company and we do a lot of trade ventures.
So that's the current state of our company and it's very exciting right now, which allows us to also do different things. We're doing our conference at the end of this year. We're helping Chinese influencers expanding throughout China. We're actually doing a lot of things on the sides which excite us a lot and then benefit the brand back to that too.
Matthieu David: You say "we" – do you have the co-founder or you're the only founder?
Fabian Ouwehand: I started this, I'm the only founder, and then I got my partner from Singapore. He's still a partner in the company. So yes, that's "we," the two of us. But we have a small team around that.
We're a remote-first company, so we're kind of all over the place. We're traveling all over the place. But depending on the projects which are coming in, sometimes we're based at one location for a longer period of time.
We're actually working with a lot of young people. So I've been working with quite some interns or fresh grads from Chinese universities, mainly from Hong Kong University, because their English was pretty good, which helped us a lot, and some of them have lived abroad for a while and came back to China. So I've been really focused on having a young, very agile team, very lean, doing things for the new generation, basically.
Matthieu David: You said you began with WeChat, Weibo, practically traditional digital agency, and I think you moved to influencer marketing in China. I went on your website and I found that you have a product with a directory of influencers where you can see the name of influencers. I don't know if it's a key or price for you. Could you tell us more about what you do for influencers? It could be in terms of selection, it can be in terms of the product. Could you go a bit deeper?
[Source: a screenshot from China Paradigm interview, "Matthieu David talking about leveraging Douyin for marketing"]
Fabian Ouwehand: What I mentioned earlier, we pivoted a little bit more to influencer marketing in China. In terms of that, I'm basically, actually helping influencers themselves too. Because we've been working with influencers very close, we're actually looking from their perspective more than we do from an enterprise perspective and see how we can bring as much value as possible to the influencers.
The brand usually already knows what kind of campaign they want to run or they have products, etc. The influencer, however, is a person who's usually lost, kind of. They know how to create content. They know how to build this audience, engage with his audience, but they're not always real business people. They don't know how to monetize or start their own brand or even work with brands and companies.
That's where we saw a bigger need. So we've been doing more from an influencer side and see how we can help them do better brand collaborations or start their own brands or become sustainable for a longer period of time and help them grow in different channels, see different types of content marketing on Chinese social media, and how to make a positive impact with that reach they have instead of creating similar types of content for years. So we tried to have them innovate.
We've mentioned the platform we have. Actually, we've had a lot of companies coming to us and said, "Hey, we want to work with influencers. Can you propose a list of interesting influencers we can work with?" So we basically built more of this platform for ourselves where we can go quickly to our influencers and directly send that to our potential clients, for example. We use it more as a resource for ourselves. We don't use it as a competitive product really as a tech, as a product itself. We're more of the strategy, creative side of that, but we're using tools more as a support to reduce our time spent finding the right influencers for the brands.
Matthieu David: You mentioned before that in the traditional agency you build, you scaled up to 10 people very quickly in your team. How do you find your clients to start quickly and to get to have the need of 10 people in your team? Was it through the Internet? Was it through your network? How did you find them?
Fabian Ouwehand: That's kind of a surprise for me too. I was a young guy moving for the first time to China. I didn't do a lot when I was in Singapore, my time with China itself. So it was all kind of very new to me. Usually what I do when I go to a new place is I start organizing an event just to get to know people and kind of challenge myself to see like, "Can I challenge my knowledge with other people around me?" I've been doing first the event in Singapore then I did in Hong Kong right before I moved to China, and through that I actually get to know a lot of people.
It's really putting myself out there first under my personal name as much as possible. So I started doing things on LinkedIn quite a bit. I started posting quite a bit on LinkedIn and I took it very much of a niche.
I started being very much involved in Douyin when Douyin still had 20 million users or something like that. I have been covering Douyin from the start since they were so small because I saw the potential of them scaling very fast in a very short amount of time, by a shorter period of time. So I've been covering that. People all started to know me as the Douyin guy, the guy who's covering Douyin. And from there, it has been going pretty quick. So we have been starting to leverage Douyin for marketing a little bit, but then these companies also required Weibo or WeChat because they're already there, and Douyin was something totally uncomfortable and new for them.
So we took the approach of repurposing content for different channels, then build the growth mindset, see what works and what doesn't work, and then actually put more investment in the channels, for example, which work. In some cases, that was Douyin. In some cases, that was Weibo, basically, depending on the goal and the objectives and KPIs of the company.
I've been really putting myself out there, trying to write more, talk more about a certain topic, and try to cover that as much as possible. We didn't have any marketing budget or something like that and never spent much money on leveraging Douyin for marketing. If we do that, we did, for example, through a conference. That was also the challenge of ours.
We did an influencer marketing conference last year in Shanghai where we secured one of the most exclusive venues, with 30 of our influencers in our network who got brands there. What we did was that we got speakers in the same industry to put ourselves out there, people who've already been in the industry for years like PARKLU, for example. We were no one, right? We were around for just a couple of months. But that really brings you on the stage with people who are already very well known in the industry, which helped us a lot in building credibility for our brand.
So instead of running advertisements or whatever we're doing, we're doing it through more experience-based things like a conference, to put ourselves out there. So we directly learned from that too when we directly connect with the right people. This is how we've been doing that.
Matthieu David: Indeed, through your website and through what you wrote or the way you have been quoted or the way you have been brought into the conferences, there is a pattern, it's ByteDance, it's Douyin. You're talking a lot about Douyin, which is the Chinese name of TikTok, which in this app where you can share 10- to 15-second video and which has been very big in China, challenging the big tech companies like Alibaba and Tencent. Could you tell us what caught your eyes with Douyin, when it was only 20 million people using Douyin in China?
Fabian Ouwehand: Could you repeat it, the last part?
Matthieu David: What caught your eyes when actually very few people were looking at Douyin as a major app, basically, wherein only 20 million people were using it?
Fabian Ouwehand: Partly, what I mentioned before, my girlfriend has been one of the first contracted KOLs under Douyin. She basically got paid to do content marketing on Chinese social media, like Douyin, which is a very common strategy for the social media platforms in China where they take small or large influencers from other channels. So for Douyin that time, that meant like they got people from Meipai or Weibo, or even Musical.ly from the U.S. where they took Chinese content creators. They paid them the sum of money and they only could leverage Douyin for marketing, but basically it meant people were moving over to Douyin and it was really much in the early days. What they did, they took people from first tier cities where other Chinese people look up to. Because these people are creating content, so it could be, for example, Chinese living in the U.S. or Australia creating the content of their daily life. That's where a lot of Chinese are looking up to.
Then I realized a lot of growth for Douyin. I started seeing the way of how they ran their marketing, which was totally different from what the usual companies are doing, they had a totally different approach where they actually use influencers to realize their growth in combination with offline marketing. So I knew in some way – or kind of not knowing – but I was predicting it will blow out sometime soon. Because of the way how the content was created, the way how ByteDance worked together with their content creators at that time, they were very close. They were working very close together and these influencers supported a lot of the product development and from their learnings, from all these different types of channels, what didn't work well. And they wanted that Douyin was doing that well.
They had an influencer community on Douyin. And because my girlfriend was a part of that, I got a lot of insights from what was happening, what they were developing, etc. So I put all my efforts on Douyin. I was like, "Hey, this is the next big thing or the big app in China," and that was when they were still small.
A couple of months later, it actually started blowing up. Douyin was featured in some TV shows in China, and then people started downloading the app and different types of content. Because it's very short content, it's very easy to consume. I'm not sure if you're using it, but it's a very addictive app. The UI, UX, it's very easy to use. There's a very low learning curve, which attracts a lot of Gen Z users through that.
That's why I was starting to cover and actually featuring new futures, which were not announced even yet because I knew that from that community, at first when I started actually covering that, people were like, "Hey, how do you know these things already?" We've been working closely with Douyin team at that time, the influencer community on Douyin, and then ourselves which had more of the marketing side and providing that directly back to the companies.
[Source: a screenshot from China Paradigm interview, "Fabian Ouwehand sharing his experience in managing influencer community on Douyin"]
Matthieu David: When was it? 2018?
Fabian Ouwehand: Mid-2017. Douyin has been around for one year at that time. They just started going abroad with TikTok to South Korea, Indonesia, and Japan. Mid-2017, they were still very small and they started blowing up in the first quarter of 2018. Our company started growing at that time too.
Matthieu David: Are you using ByteDance? Are you using Douyin yourself?
Fabian Ouwehand: I'm using Douyin. Not that much. When I live in China, I use it a lot because I'm still new in China. I've been living there only for a year. I am still learning every single day. Actually, through Douyin, I started to learn a lot about the culture and the way how they approach things, like definitely this young generation because it was a specific type of content on Douyin which is very localized to the Chinese market and very unique to the Chinese market. So I've been using it a lot, now less because the content changed a little bit. It's very addictive. The moment you start doing these things, you get very much sucked into that. But yes, I'm using occasionally Douyin.
Matthieu David: What are the main functions of Douyin that brands can leverage for marketing? The challenges that a lot of brands had and I think still have, is that they know a lot of people are using Douyin but they don't really know how to leverage Douyin for marketing. That was the same issue with WeChat at the beginning, then it became easier and easier. The path was very clear with WeChat but at some point, you will have ads in the moment, at some point you will have official accounts. It was pretty obvious that it would happen. For Douyin, it's less obvious, except maybe advertising like YouTube is doing advertising with the insertion of videos, and so on. Could you tell us more about how brands can leverage Douyin for marketing and maybe share some cases of successful companies?
Fabian Ouwehand: I think the biggest challenge with Douyin and why still not a lot of brands or at least Western brands because there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese brands already using Douyin, but definitely Western brands, what they find very toughest is content marketing on Chinese social media. I don't think that that differs from trading video content on Instagram or on YouTube. How many brands are actually creating content on YouTube? There are not many brands who are doing that. And the same is how many brands are creating Instagram TV content? Still not many brands.
I think it's very tough for brands to tell their stories to people like what we feel. I don't even know what type of content to create or I don't have the budget to create high-level commercials or something like that. So that's a very big challenge for brands that I've been seeing. It's not only tied to Douyin. It's very short video or every video platform actually out there, it's very tough for brands.
Then for Douyin specifically, it's very much user-generated content. People are actually consuming a lot of content created by individuals. So if you go there as a brand account, it's really tough to create interesting content, probably partly because Douyin will directly push you out with their algorithms because it's not relevant for the users who are consuming that type of content. But on the other hand, it's really basically boring to consume brand content on an ad that is all created by users.
I see actually a lot of potential for brands. They built their own influencer community on Douyin from scratch and leveraged our platform with just Douyin or they started using influencers, content marketing on Chinese social media for their accounts because people already enjoy that type of content, just leverage on the people who are really big on the platform and use it for your own channels, or create a different type of content.
I think what you see, for example on YouTube, what brands are doing is that they create more web series or short shows or something like that. I think you can= leverage Douyin for marketing way more. Then a specific type of industry like in the educational industry, ByteDance is putting a lot of effort on Douyin to invest more in educational type of content.
I think there are a lot of different opportunities. But the same is for repurposing existing content you already have in 10-15 seconds and use it in different parts. The same is the idea when you record a podcast for an hour, cut that in different parts and post these things on Facebook or whatever to at least get traction and then different types of content. Gary V is doing that a lot. He published something on YouTube and then he's cutting these things in small parts.
So I think there's a big opportunity still for brands to at least get started to leverage Douyin for marketing. But it's also how far you want to go as a brand in terms of your type of content, what you're creating on the platform. Do you want to have that in the terms of the type of content which is consumed on Douyin? It's very down to earth, sometimes stupid content, and not all brands want to associate their brand with this type of content. So it's really tough.
I think a good case study is what Alipay did is they started editing Jack Ma in a funny way from conferences he'd been back to 15 seconds with a funny song under that, and then they posted in the description like, "I hope my boss doesn't see this. Otherwise, this might be our last post on the channel." This is actually the type of content a big company like Alipay is basically publishing on the platform.
For brands that are like, "What type of content is interesting for us? And how can we make that in 10 to 15 seconds?" I think that's a very big challenge for content marketing on Chinese social media, but I think that counts for more platforms than just Douyin. I definitely believe you can repurpose that for different channels but just leverage on what's popular right now on Douyin. And can we do something in 10 to 15 seconds? Because that new generation, the younger generation, you have to trigger in 1 or 2 seconds because they can swipe you up and you're gone. It's really important to execute good content marketing on Chinese social media in 10 to 15 seconds.
Matthieu David: Besides getting more views or getting more people watching your content or your name or your logo, is there a way that you have found that you can convert in sales, you can convert in subscribers, you can convert in something more tangible from Douyin to Tmall, to Yihaodian, to followers on some channel to create a stronger community? Because I'm not totally sure that is easy to actually build an influencer community on Douyin compared to WeChat and all the other platforms which are built actually to get followers.
Fabian Ouwehand: This is the China ecosystem. You have this Tencent ecosystem. They have this Alibaba ecosystem. And now you start getting this ByteDance ecosystem too, right? Because ByteDance is a very new company, it doesn't have a lot of different types of platforms where they can benefit each other. I think WeChat does it very well. Also, Tencent does it very well. Alibaba does that very well, too. But ByteDance doesn't really have that. And Tencent is like, "We're not providing you anything because you're a competitor on some areas of ours."
So I think that's what was very tough for Douyin at the beginning. I think it really depends on what type of company you are and what is the story you want to tell to see if Douyin is actually the right channel for you. I think if you're selling products like beauty or fashion or even F&B, then Douyin is, I believe, a great channel to do that because there's a lot of content, a lot of products from content which is consumed on the app.
Then Douyin integrates for e-commerce purposes with Taobao, JD, and Tmall. Basically, it can connect your store to Douyin and sell directly without basically leaving Douyin itself. Or sometimes you get referred to Taobao, but even that the steps are very easy. That could be interesting. In terms of if you're selling a product, it's very interesting to leverage Douyin for marketing. Or if you're, let's say, the educational industry and you have an English school or whatever then I think it's very interesting too because you can generate a lot of traction.
Douyin has these short videos of 10 to 15 seconds, which is basically their core feature. But they also have live streaming, they also have stories, they also can post pictures and all these different types of things.
I think for product companies, Douyin is the right channel in a way like you can convert to sales because it's relatively easy compared with, let's say, WeChat to generate traction because it's a very random app. ByteDance is a very strong AI machine learning but basically filters out the right people for your type of content. That's why you see a lot of influencers grew very fast in a short amount of time because they directly got the right audience proposed to them.
I've been seeing influencers who are selling hundreds of thousands of lipsticks with just a couple of videos because they have that right audience and directly the e-commerce integration is great. But I think if you want to get more subscribers on whatever then it's enough because it doesn't integrate with anything yet in that sense. It only stays in that ByteDance ecosystem.
Matthieu David: You mentioned several times education as a sector that could leverage Douyin. I understand that one of the concepts could be within 10 to 15 seconds to teach something very efficiently, very directly, let's say for instance, how to use your iPhone, how to increase the light on your iPhone, how to put a new password on your iPhone, and to learn a lot from it. Do you have some examples that had been successful in the educational sector? And it's successful for what? Because they may have got a lot of views but then what for?
Fabian Ouwehand: I haven't seen many brands out there. There were a couple of English teaching apps out there on Douyin or even English schools who are trying to promote their brand for Douyin through that very short time of content. But the most successful still have been influencer marketing in China. I think that's what a lot of brands forget because they don't know how Douyin could scale that fast and they created that influencer community on Douyin from the start which basically has been the main reason of growth, at least how I see it, in terms of the growth of Douyin. I think you have to leverage Douyin for marketing, especially on these people who understand the app and basically realize that whole growth for Douyin and the reason why Douyin is as big as today.
I think influencers have been very successful in it and they have been doing a lot of different brand collaborations because they already have that audience. But I think if you're, let's say, the school, just get an influencer to start creating content for you. Hire them as content marketers and start growing your own channel on Douyin. But yes, again, this doesn't directly convert immediately to new clients or something like that.
I think that's something, in general, that's missing in China. I think growth marketing and growth hacking, being more analytical in that sense, and to follow building and customer journeys. That's still very tough in China. There's not a clear funnel. You cannot see a conversion rate at every funnel stage was this and that. So I think that's something that I'm generally missing a lot in China. But yes, I think that counts the same for WeChat sometimes, or Weibo. It's still very tough to create a clear funnel at the end of the day to conversion.
You can create a lot of awareness, which will probably lead to indirect sales. But if you want to sell and you want to get immediate results then you have to start selling products like in the beauty/fashion industry, for example. Otherwise, probably Douyin is not the right channel, but I think Douyin could be a nice challenge for your brand to see, "Can we actually make sense in 10 to 15 seconds to our friends or our consumers or something like that?" You can use it as a channel to challenge yourself if you can provide a lot of value in these couple of seconds.
Matthieu David: I feel Douyin could be equivalent to billboards when you buy space in airports or in a metro station to gain awareness, for your message to be seen, even if you cannot convert immediately. You mentioned that you know about Douyin because you are close to the influencer community on Douyin. But aside from that, how do you stay informed? How do you stay up to date? Because it's a very Chinese ecosystem? A lot of things are in Chinese? How do you stay up to date to know all the stories and how it works?
Fabian Ouwehand: We started building our own influencer community on Douyin. We have a WeChat group and different influencers are in it. So if we have new brand collaborations, we will post it there. But we will also discuss certain things. Besides that, there are a lot of different influencer communities on Douyin, categorized per industry, where also Douyin is involved. A couple of people from the Douyin team are in that group, some MCNs (multi-channel networks) are involved, and then you have influencers who are involved.
Because we have that close relationship with influencers community on Douyin, we hear a lot from them very fast but also because we still have strong ties with some people at Douyin itself, we can just send them messages like, "Hey, does this work? Does that work? Hey, this and that." They can see how we stay involved, so we can trigger ourselves basically on the database because this app is developing so quickly. They have all the time new features and stuff like that which they don't even announce. So we try to stay ahead of the curve when talking to these different stakeholders basically involved in the whole product development and who are using the app every single day.
Matthieu David: One last topic I'd like to talk with you is something you mentioned at the beginning actually, is that you want to help or you're already helping Chinese influencers to go outside of China. What does it mean? Because most of them speak Chinese, I believe most of them don't have very good English. How do you want to help them to go out of China? Is it to influence Chinese travelers? Is it to actually give them feasibility with foreign brands to go outside? What did you mean by saying helping them to go overseas?
Fabian Ouwehand: We work with a couple of influencers very close, where we work on a daily basis with them. Some of them want to work with more foreign brands so they want to get their presence out of China. Just to get more these opportunities, but also see what they can learn from the Western social media, their behavior, etc. and apply that back to the content marketing on Chinese social media, but also more for their personal experience and personal development. They're very Chinese, most of them indeed don't speak English at all, but they're still very interested in what's happening in the U.S., what's happening in Southeast Asia, and what's happening in Europe.
We're actually helping them to grow on these different channels. We're helping, for example, one influencer right now on Instagram, and in a couple of months time, she grew from zero to – I think she's now on 70,000 fans on Instagram, just in a few months by repurposing her Chinese content and putting English descriptions on the posts and stuff like that. We're helping her with that.
But what we're also doing is we're creating journeys for influencers right now and actually focus on Western brands focusing on Chinese tourism. In a couple of weeks, we're flying two influencers over to Europe and have a two-week trip around Europe or even different brand collaborations where they can learn from Western brands and how to work with them but directly create content for their Chinese channels. We're doing these journeys now. We're planning different types of journeys for them. So that is the other way around. We're helping them grow in these Western channels and we're helping them with YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, but we're also doing these journeys and actually leveraging more their Chinese channels but working with Western brands out of China.
Matthieu David: With your client, is it the influencer who is paying you or is it the city for tourism who's paying you?
Fabian Ouwehand: The clients are paying, not the influencers. What we basically do with the influencers – because we have this influencer community on Douyin and other social media, we have the luxury to see who has the most potential in our opinion. We've been working with influencers for the last couple of years, so we know who has the potential to also grow out of China. Because I've been doing some marketing in Southeast Asia, so we know different markets. I'm from Europe myself, so that makes things also easier. We do get commission-based.
For example, now with the trip, we're doing a trip to Europe for about two weeks, right? Usually, brands don't want to spend all their budgets on flying someone over, paying for a couple of days to create maybe one or two pieces of content. But what we're doing now is we fly people over for two weeks and we're working with 20 different brands and create 20 different pieces of content, then the brand doesn't have to take all their budget out. They basically just pay for the content that is created, because we can cover it because we're working with multiple brands at the same time. That basically lowers directly the costs and the budgets the brands require.
Plus, at the same time, you're giving a great experience to the influencers. It's their first time in Europe, they've never been to Europe. They work with luxury brands across Europe. They have nice experiences. They will visit the castles in Germany, all these different types of experiences, which influencers value a lot in terms of it's not always about the money, it's sometimes also about the experiences. And if you can offer both, it's basically the perfect solution for that. Then they're way more willing to collaborate with you but also with the brand. We are trying to create experiences around basically our collaborations.
Matthieu David: Congratulations on everything you achieved. I feel that you have achieved a lot for influencer marketing in China within a very short time, like two years, two years and a half.
Fabian Ouwehand: It goes really fast. It really goes fast. It's really cool. I think it gives us so much opportunity definitely when we work very closely with these influencers. We actually have now very big influencers from the West contacting us like, "Hey, I want to get into China. Can we do something together?" So it's super interesting to actually see also these Westerners who want to get into China. We're going to do these collaborations now.
As I mentioned earlier, we're doing that conference. We're actually doing three conferences, one in Hong Kong, one in Amsterdam, and one in Toronto. We basically localize it, but we get influencer marketing in China to every city, but also Western influencers, we get them together with the brands too. Basically, talk about how to become a better influencer and how do we want to work with brands, and what do brands expect from influencer marketing in China. It's really cool to see how this is developing, also with more influencers who pay instead of just content marketing on Chinese social media and running promotions through them. How can we get way more out of them instead of just these advertisements through them or something?
Matthieu David: Very interesting. I feel especially interesting, Fabian, is that you have been able to understand Douyin people and influencer community on Douyin, and that's a very unique positioning you have, unique access. It's very impressive. Thanks, Fabian, for your time. Thanks for taking part of your Sunday to talk to us, and I hope you enjoyed. I hope everyone also enjoyed listening to talk. Bye-bye.
Fabian Ouwehand: Awesome.

Why Do Traffic Jams Sometimes Form For No Reason?

Why Do Traffic Jams Sometimes Form For No Reason? Curator - Citi I/O 2018-05-30
If you've ever driven on a highway, you've probably seen it happen. Traffic slows to a crawl, then stops entirely. Minutes later, it begins to move again, and then suddenly, you're moving at full speed.
The weirdest part: there's no construction, accident, or other possible explanation for the traffic. Why does this happen?
As it turns out, a few different groups of researchers have been using mathematical calculations and real-world experiments to try answering this question. And they think they have the answer. They also have suggestions on how to stop these jams.
Why phantom traffic jams form
If there are enough cars on a highway, any minor disruptions to the flow of traffic can cause a self-reinforcing chain reaction: one car brakes slightly, and the ones behind it brake just a bit more to avoid hitting it, with the braking eventually amplifying until it produces a wave of stopped or slowed traffic.
"These traffic waves arise from small perturbations in a uniform traffic flow, like a bump in the road, or a driver braking after a moment of inattention," says Benjamin Seibold, a mathematician at Temple University who's worked with colleagues on understanding the phenomenon.
Even when cars leave this traffic wave, though, the wave itself doesn't disappear: it gradually drifts backward, against the direction of traffic. "It's typically 100 to 1000 meters long, and it usually begins with vehicles running into a sudden increase in density at the start, and a drop in velocity," Seibold says. "Then, after that, they slowly accelerate again."
He and others developed the concept of these waves (which they call jamitons, because they're analogous to waves in physics called solitons) using computer algorithms that simulate driving behavior:
Japanese researchers have also conducted real-world experiments that come to the same conclusion. In one, they instructed 22 drivers to drive at the same speed (18.6 mph), and preserve the same amount of space between cars, on a small circular road. Inevitably, traffic waves formed:

So who's to blame for these traffic jams?
In one sense, it seems reasonable to blame these phantom traffic jams on individual drivers. The models indicate that these jams are more likely to form when people drive as fast as possible, then finally brake when necessary to avoid hitting the car in front of them, triggering a chain reaction.
"If people anticipate higher traffic densities ahead, and take their feet off the gas earlier and leave more room in front of them — instead of waiting until they have to brake — that can prevent traffic jams from arising," Seibold says.
Another way to think of it, says Berthold Horn — an MIT computer scientist who's worked on the same topic — is to try driving so that you stay halfway between the car in front of you and the one behind you. This will lead to you avoid sudden braking when possible.
On the other hand, this sort of behavioral change doesn't totally eliminate phantom traffic jams — it merely makes them less likely to form (specifically, it means that a higher density of cars on the road is required for traffic waves to develop). But if there are enough cars on the road, even if people anticipate approaching traffic to the best of their abilities, phantom traffic jams will form.
"We're usually inclined to think that these must be caused by an individual driver," Seibold says. "But the models show that even if all drivers drive by the exact same rules, and no one does anything wrong, these waves can still arise."
These jams, in essence, emerge whenever you have enough humans driving cars on a highway. So the only real way to eliminate them probably involves handing the wheel over to something other than a human driver.

The solution to phantom traffic jams

In the short term, there are some things engineers can do to cut down on these traffic jams.
The straighter and smoother a road is, the less likely the jams are to form, since it means drivers won't be doing as much sudden braking. Most highways are already built to be as straight as possible, so it's mainly by better maintaining current ones that this can make a difference.
A more innovative idea, Seibold says, are variable speed limits, which are already in place in a few places in the US (but are mainly used to alter speeds based on weather conditions). Using LED signs, speed limits could be decreased in the area leading in to a phantom traffic jam, causing cars to slow down gradually, rather than all at once. In some cases, this could break up the wave.
Finally, Seibold believes a comprehensive solution will come in the form of self-driving cars. Because they'll be able to control their speeds with more precision and use data on traffic miles down the road, they'll be able to anticipate slow-downs much more effectively than any human.
One car suddenly braking, for instance, could send out a signal to all the cars within a mile behind it, instructing them to slow down gradually, rather than suddenly when they arrive at the nascent traffic wave. In theory, at least, this will smooth out waves of traffic before they're able to form.

I love beauty stuff and will admit to being a bit of a chocoholic so I knew I would love Avon Planet Spa Pampering Chocolate range. If you have ever dreamed of slathering yourself in chocolate, now is your chance as this skincare range includes real cocoa. The collection includes a shower gel, whipped moisturizer and face mask so you can get your chocolate fix from head to toe. The Planet Spa Pampering Chocolate bundle regularly retails for $31 CDN but is currently available for $20 or you can buy the products individually.
Avon Planet Spa Pampering Chocolate Bodywash ($9 for 200ml) is a golden chocolate bodywash with an almost metallic look to it that fills your shower with the heavenly scent of chocolate. I have been using this ever since this range landed in my mailbox and love the smell of the bodywash. I have even caught him using it too. It lathers well and rinses easily unlike some other chocolate products I have used that seem to leave some residue or do not lather fully.
Once you have showered, slather on some Avon Planet Spa Pampering Chocolate Body Whip ($12 for 200ml), This light moisturizer has a delicious chocolate scent and absorbs well. I do find that it oxidizes a bit and leaves a brown colour if you do not rub it in right away so do an area at a time and it absorbs fine. It isn't overly greasy but leaves the skin feeling silky soft and moisturized without being an over the top body butter consistency you would usually need for a good dose of moisture.
Relax, have a few squares of chocolate and enjoy some extra me time with Avon Planet Spa Pampering Chocolate Face Mask ($10 for 100ml). This is the most chocolatey of the bundle and is like putting chocolate spread on your face – don't try to eat it though! It is slightly warming and doesn't dry completely like a mud mask would but rinses off leaving your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
So feed the inner chocoholic in you without the calories with this pampering bundle. It is available now through your local Avon representative or through Avon online.
The body whip looks and sounds so nice!
Great stuff with a great smell! But why did Avon dump it? Boy…they sure made a mistake!
They seem to have a lot of limited edition stuff. It is not that they dump it, they just make a limited quantity and when it is sold it is done.

This paper analyzes the social class structure of Turkey during the latest wave of economic globalization in four dimensions: by sector of employment, with the Erikson–Goldthorpe–Portocarero (EGP) class schema, by occupational group, and in terms of informal employment. Since 1980, when Turkey opened to the global economy, the Turkish social class structure changed significantly. During this period, Turkey became a significant exporter of mostly low-technology, but also increasingly medium- and high-technology, manufactured goods. I contend that this economic globalization and industrialization contributed to a dual process of proletarianization and polarization. Proletarianization occurred through a transition from Turkey's agrarian tradition, a relative decline of the public sector, and an expansion of classes who sell their labor without workplace authority. Polarization entailed the growth of private-sector entrepreneurial, professional and managerial classes, and a simultaneous expansion of the informal sector. There were also differences between sexes. The share of manufacturing employment and the low-skilled labor classes expanded at rates much higher among women than among men, contributing to more rapid proletarianization.

New Adventure Island Review (TG-16)
Move over Wonder Boy
review by Corbie Dillard Sat 17th Feb 2007
The Wonder Boy and Adventure Island games have seen releases on just about every 8 and 16-bit console you can think of, not to mention a few remakes on some of the more recent systems. Having said that, if you want to play the best the series has to offer, you need only download New Adventure Island on the Wii Virtual Console to see all that this series has to offer. New Adventure Island somehow takes a simple-to-use control system and builds a wonderfully creative and unique platformer around it. Who would have ever thought that an island boy in a grass skirt could be such an effective protagonist for a side-scroller, but Master Higgins handles the job with ease and proves that you don't need Mario or Sonic to have a terrific and enjoyable platforming experience.
In New Adventure Island you have a health meter that is constantly depleting as time ticks by during each level. If you walk, your meter depletes slowly and if you run it depletes more quickly. It also depletes every time you use a weapon or if you run into certain obstacles that are in your way. The only way to keep replenishing the meter is to grab the fruit that's strung throughout each level. If your health meter runs out before you reach the end of the level, you'll lose a life. You can also lose lives by running into enemies or certain deadly obstacles in the game as well. There's danger at every corner but there's also many helpful items around in case you need them.
As you progress through each level, you'll come across eggs laying in your path. If you break them open, you'll be rewarded with various weapons and power-ups. Master Higgins can use four different weapons that include: an axe, a boomerang, a spear, and a torch, each with its own unique flight pattern and level of effectiveness. You have to find out which weapon is the most effective in certain situations and make sure you grab it. There are also power-ups to aid you along the way including a floating fairy that will make you invincible for a short time as well as a skateboard that allows you to ride through the level at a much faster rate of speed. As the enemies and obstacles in each level get more deadly, you'll come to appreciate and depend on these helpful items more and more.
Each island has 4 areas. You'll have to traverse each of these areas at which time you'll come face to face with the island's boss. The bosses are all half-human/half-animal, and will gradually become tougher as you get further into the game. Each boss will require you to carefully choose your weapon before you enter their lair to do battle with them. The weapon you choose will greatly affect how you're able to attack the boss, so choose carefully. The control system in the game is extremely smooth and responsive, and makes executing the many pinpoint jumps a breeze. It's also very easy to only have to use two buttons to perform all of the necessary commands. This allows you to focus more on the task at hand instead of trying to figure out a complicated control system. Even the boss fights are very playable and all have very distinctive patterns to figure out in order to defeat them. It may take you a few tries, but every boss in the game is easily beatable once you become familiar with their attack patterns.
Visually, New Adventure Island is among the best the Turbografx-16 has to offer, a testament to just how powerful this souped-up 8-bit system really was. Every island has its own unique look and style, and the graphic quality just seems to get better as the game goes on. Multiple layers of parallax scrolling and some of the most vibrant environments you'll see in a game from this era, all combine for a very impressive graphical experience. No other 8 or 16-bit system could dare touch the huge number of colors the Turbografx-16 could display onscreen at one time and this game is as good an example of that as any. If you don't believe it, compare some screenshots of this version of the game against releases on other systems and you'll see what we mean.
Although the soundtrack in New Adventure Island is quite off-the-wall, you'd be hard-pressed to find a higher quality musical effort in any other Turbografx-16 hucard release. It's impossible to even describe the music in the game, but trust me, it fits in perfectly with the game's quirky theme. What few sound effects are present are great, there just aren't very many of them. It's probably just as well, as they'd only take away from the outstanding music being played throughout each level. Considering this game had to run solely on the built-in sound chip of the Turbografx-16, it makes the musical production even more impressive than it already is.
It would be easy to sit here and rave about the smooth play control, the vibrant visuals, and the outstanding soundtrack all day, but what makes New Adventure Island such a treat is that, at its core, it's just an absolute blast to play. It has a well-balanced difficulty curve that gradually progresses, and it has a simple enough control system to make the game challenging without being overly complicated. New Adventure Island is the type of game that will remind you why you love video games in the first place and a game that proves that sometimes less is more. It's hands down one the best Turbografx-16 Virtual Console releases and a game you'll find yourself coming back to time and time again.

Man, I'm sorry to say this is a terrible review. Despite starting as a Wonder Boy rip-off the series has developed its own identity after the second installment where you could ride dinossaurs that change the gameplay dramatically. The 3rd game even builds upon that with secret routes, more dinos and tighter controls.
What about this one? No dinos, no secret routes--even if it was released AFTER those NES upgrades.
If you want the best gameplay in the series, go for Adventure Island III in the NES (or it's Game Boy version available at eShop, called Adventure Island II there); if you want the best looks, go for Super Adventure Island (SNES, available as a Wii VC title). Even the poor levels design and all-the-same bosses play AGAINST this version.
I wish I could ask the guy my money back, since I was on the fence on this or "Adventure Island: The Beginning"...

Community Concerts Return Sept. 29
Terry Barber, who has performed with Madonna and Jewel, visits Feb. 14 for a Community Concert Association show. This is his 2017 album, "Around the World in 80 Minutes."
The artists have been selected and the shows will go on – that is, the four Community Concert Association shows.
In 1975, Kimballites decided they needed entertainment and so the long standing tradition of community concerts began in the Kimball area.
The concert artists have gradually changed and evolved over the years to be interactive with the audience and more entertaining for the entire family. The artists today play contemporary and popular music and include sing-a-longs.
Publicity chairwoman Jean Barrett and family have been concert goers since the mid-1980s.

Notifications should only launch activities -- that's what users expect
(and has been the guidance in both the Android SDK and Material Design
documentation for a while).

A `Service` or a `BroadcastReceiver` should not be used as an
intermediate, because this can lead to significant performance problems,
and as a result, this will not be allowed in Android 12.

(##) Example

Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text
src/test/pkg/NotificationTest.java:22:Warning: Notifications should only
launch a Service from notification actions (addAction)
[LaunchActivityFromNotification]

    .setContentIntent(serviceIntent)
     -------------------------------

Here is the source file referenced above:

`src/test/pkg/NotificationTest.java`:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~java linenumbers
package test.pkg;

import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;

        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, ServiceTrampoline.class);
        PendingIntent serviceIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
        NotificationCompat.Builder builder =

(##) Suppressing

You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms:

* Using a suppression annotation like this on the enclosing
  element:

  ```kt
  // Kotlin
  @Suppress("LaunchActivityFromNotification")
  fun method() {
     setContentIntent(...)
  }
  ```

  or

  ```java
  // Java
  @SuppressWarnings("LaunchActivityFromNotification")
  void method() {
     setContentIntent(...);
  }
  ```

* Using a suppression comment like this on the line above:

  ```kt
  //noinspection LaunchActivityFromNotification
  problematicStatement()
  ```

* Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off
  the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look
  like this:
  ```xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <lint>
      <issue id="LaunchActivityFromNotification" severity="ignore" />
  </lint>
  ```
  Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for
  example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional
  documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and
  so on
  [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html).

* In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For
  example, you can use something like
  ```gradle
  lintOptions {
      disable 'LaunchActivityFromNotification'
  }
  ```
  In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }`
  block.

* For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag:
  ```
  $ lint --ignore LaunchActivityFromNotification ...`
  ```

* Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed
  [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).

Second Edition Revised.
The re-establishment of the Patriarchate of Constantinople in 1454 allowed the Orthodox Christians to have again a supreme ecclesiastical authority and, at the same time, an institutional organisation of their society. However, among the written sources of the first Post-Byzantine period (1454-1498), only forty two official patriarchal documents have been located in archives and libraries in Greece and abroad. This publication comes as a precious tool for historical research, in which the researcher can find the forty two extant texts collected in a useful and sound edition. A wide range of issues emerges in the texts concerning the internal affairs of the Church, encyclical texts sent by the supreme ecclesiastical authority to the Orthodox Christians living in the Ottoman Empire, texts regarding the relations of the Orthodox Church with the Ottoman state, the Roman Catholic Church and foreign leaders. The volume also contains a general index of names and terms, a table comprising the archives and libraries where the original documents or their copies are currently located, and a table of the official texts corresponding with the acts included in the work of the same authors Οι Πράξεις του Πατριαρχείου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως / Les Regestes des Actes du Patriarchat de Constantinople (Athens 2013).
The book in hand is a second, revised edition, because the first edition (Athens 2011) was sold out and, mainly, because of the addition of one more text, the re-dating of specific patriarchates based on the work of the same authors Οι Πράξεις του Πατριαρχείου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, (Athens 2013), the discovery of latent manuscripts that led to the improvement in the edition of particular texts, and the recent literature. The book has been published within the framework of a Program funded by the Onassis Foundation.

If there's ever a car that embodies the "Built Ford Tough" tagline, it's Jack Haden's 2003 Mustang. After hiding out in a storm cellar with his pregnant wife to avoid the massive EF5 tornado that hit Oklahoma last week, Haden emerged to find his beloved Mustang thrown across the road and smashed into a tree. By the look of it, the Mustang was obliterated and would never run again. Imagine his surprise, then, when he turned the key and the engine fired right up. After tearing off much of the mangled bodywork Haden even decided to take it for a spin around town, much to the delight of the nearby residents. "We decided just to chop it up and take it out for everyone to see," he told the local television station.
In fact, Haden's Mustang seems to be running so well that he even decided to do a burnout. After all, you don't need doors or seat belts to roast the rear tires. Check out the footage below.

Hi, I've Hub nominated to be a Hubnugget and I'd like to follow the advice of many to promote it.
I'm not sure which link to use. If I send people a link to the article can they (even non Hubbers) vote?
I'm lead to understand there's a page which shows all the nominees from which you can vote but I can't for the life of me find it!
You should have a link to it, in the comments section on your nominated hub.
When you post it, you might want to also explain that the readers have to scroll through the story to find the nominee, and tell them which hub is yours.
And congratulations, by the way!
