TODAY MY BLOG IS FIVE YEARS OLD! I feel like a proud parent *not exaggerating* as I've put so much hard work and time into my blog and it has grown so much in those five years, from awful designs and not knowing anything about blogging to a gorgeous custom design, my own domain name and a lovely group of readers.
When I started I had no idea what it would turn into! Now because of my blog I've attended press events with international brands, I've learnt so much, I'm part of an amazing like minded community and I've been able to work with some incredible brands including Boots, Newlook, Lush, Debenhams, Nails Inc and Harrods, the latter was beyond exciting and I still can't believe it!
To celebrate my blog's fifth birthday I am hosting a giveaway on my blog and also on my Twitter (@ofbeautyand) and my Instagram (@ofbeautyand) so there are plenty of chances to be able to win some pretty amazing prizes. The twitter giveaway is to win a £25 e-voucher with Melody Maison (thank you to the lovely people at Melody Maison for supplying the voucher) and my Instagram giveaway will be a book/face mask prize!
It's always difficult to choose prizes as some items can't be shipped over a certain limit, some can't be shipped overseas and I wanted to include range of products that everyone could enjoy. So for my blog's birthday giveaway, I'm including a range of natural skincare, makeup, candles, perfume, pampering products and a graphic novel so I think there is something for everyone.
All items are new and in the case of the Lush items, they are in date and have been well sealed to protect them.
This giveaway is UK only as it contains perfume so it can't be shipped overseas but I am hosting two giveaways on my social media which are both open internationally so you can check those out if you are one of my international readers (twitter or instagram).
Oh my goodness congratulations! 5 years is such an achievement, you must be so proud!

Due to the increasing violence and rising numbers of abuse incidents in our nations youth football programs during and after games, the NIYFL Board of Directors have unanimously approved a "ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY" related to inappropriate behavior at practices, games and NIYFL sponsored activities. The Board feels that league officials, parents and coaches should be proactive in seeking a safe and instructive environment for children without the threat of violence, inappropriate behavior or language on the sidelines.
Each area had an elected commissioner, and the commissioners have elected the NIYFL Board of Directors. These individuals are responsible for the activities your children are participating in. One of them or an appointed replacement will be available at every game. Please find one of these individuals if you see activities that concern you, so we may correct the problem.
Any action that officials or coaches deem to be inappropriate, or the individual has previously been asked to stop doing.
Any player, coach, official, parent or fan, participating in inappropriate behavior will be ejected from the game. In cases where the offending party does not leave the area, then the field director in charge will immediately dial the police and have the offender removed. A league report will be filed, and if the same person is ejected twice, they will no longer be allowed to attend NIYFL events. Based on the nature of the offence, charges may be field against the individual. Threats of or physical displays of aggression will be reported to the police. Any ejected person has the right to an appeal hearing by the Board of Directors. All parties involved will be notified and invited to attend the hearing which will be scheduled within 10 days of a written request.
The NIYFL hopes these policies will ensure a safe, tolerable environment for your family to be around and your children to play in. Thank you for doing your part to help.
Every Parent and Coach must abide by this policy.

Eye doctors help save young woman's life
Zach Evans
Days after Easter, Courtney Mattson had unbearable headaches and eye pressure.
Emergency room visits, lab work, scans, spinal taps, antibiotics and hospital stays – none of it helped. Staff at the emergency room couldn't find an ailment and sent the 29-year-old on her way several times.
"It looked like her left eye was swelling out of its socket," said Louanna Mattson, Courtney's mother-in-law.
Running out of options, Louanna decided to take Courtney to her eye doctor, Dr. Darrell Pratt.
Pratt's assessment and referral to Dr. F. Michael Cornell likely saved her life.
"I still think had it not been for those two doctors that Courtney would have died," she said.
Early in the morning about week after the issues began, Pratt examined Courtney's eye, which was completely shut and protruding from her head.
He immediately sent her to an eye surgeon, Dr. Cornell.
Cornell quickly had her admitted to the hospital for an MRI. She was in critical condition with bacterial meningitis, the family learned. She developed blood clots behind her left eye, aortic artery and one on the back side of her brain. She was in and out consciousness.
She was taken to a neurological intensive care unit in Indianapolis later that night. That week, doctors determined the meningitis was caused by a strep infection. A team of doctors and nurses between Evansville and Indianapolis have helped her since, but Louanna said it was the rapid actions from Cornell and Pratt that saved Courtney's life.
"Me calling Dr. Pratt was just the last -- I didn't know what else to do," she said.
"But it was the right thing to do," she added.
If it wasn't for Pratt's poor eyesight as a child, he might not be an optometrist today. He credits the relationship he had with his eye doctor growing up for the career inspiration.
"God's gift to me was bad eyesight," Pratt said.
Pratt is an optometrist at Ridgway Eyecare Center in Evansville. Pratt has nearly three decades of experience. He graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry in 1988. He settled in Evansville soon after and has practiced here ever since.
He hears complaints sometimes of patients who've had problems with other doctors and medical professionals about care and attention. So he asks himself: "How would I want to be treated?"
"I just want to treat my patients how I would want to be treated if I was the patient," he said.
The relationship and bond with the patients is what Cornell enjoys as an eye surgeon.
"It's just a wonderful privilege to be able to take care of patients here in the area and help them maintain their sight, or restore their sight," he said.
Cornell received his medical degree from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 1975. His career includes working as an ophthalmologist for the U.S. Army, from which he retired as a colonel after 22 years of service.
He came to Evansville in 2013 at the suggestion of an old Denver friend, Dr. William Carey. Cornell, Carey and Dr. Stephen VanCleve now work together at Specialty EyeCare of Evansville.
The eye is a complex organ of the human body, and is very revealing when it comes to several ailments. His and Pratt's quick evaluation of Courtney likely saved her life.
"The beauty of the eye is we can literally see into the eye. ... There is lots of information that we can gain by looking at their eye, or into their eye," Cornell said.

Онтофаг (Onthophagus) — найбільший рід жуків-гнойовиків родини пластинчатовусих. Самці зазвичай мають роги або вирости на голові та часто передньоспинці. Близько 1500 видів; поширені головним чином в тропіках; в Україні близько 60 видів. Викопують і набивають гноєм нірки, в яких розвиваються личинки. Корисні як санітари і уйаучасникиунтоутворення; деякі види є проміжними господарями ряду гельмінтів, паразитуючих у домашніх тварин.

Опис
Жуки дрібного і середнього розміру, завдовжки — 2,5-15 мм. Тіло компактне, широкоовальне, сплощене і більш менш опуклі згори й знизу.

Забарвлення тіла дуже різноманітне: чорне, чорне з червонястими або жовтуватими плямами. Надкрила часто двоколірні з симетричним або асиметричним малюнком, іноді в темних цятках — «мармуровий» тип малюнка. Переднеспинка і голова іноді з яскраво-металевим відливом, або усе тіло з металевим відливом. Поверхня переднеспинки та надкрил структурна, рідко гладка, частіше в простих точках.

Ареал і видовий розподіл
Рід є один з найбільших і налічує приблизно 1800–2000 видів (точну цифру назвати не можна, оскільки багато тропічних видів, мабуть, належать до інших родів). Найбільш щедрі видами калоїдів є савани Африки і тропічні ландшафти Азії (відповідно понад 800 і понад 350 видів). У Західній півкулі — 115 видів, в Австралії — понад 150 видів. Для Палеарктики встановлені близько 120 видів, для України — 60 видів.

TUNING THE BENTLEY
SOME NOTES GLEANED DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH L. G. MeKENZIE
The 3-litre
S0 many readers are interested in the Bentley marque, and as every owner of an old-school Bentley we meet seems to enthusiastically read MoToR SPORT we feel that some notes on improving the performance of the old-model Bentleys may prove of interest. We are indebted to Mr. L. G. McKenzie, the well known Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist, for the information that follows. This article follows on those about the tuning of the M.G., Talbot and FrazerNash cars, which appeared in. MOTOR SPoRT in January, February and March, 1936, back issues of which are available. The first Bentley model was the famous 3,-litre 80 x 149 min., four-cylinder car, designed just after the War by W. 0. Bentley and the late F. T. Burgess, and put into production in 1921. There were two editions, the Standard and the Speed Model, usually known to-day as the " Blue Label" and " Red Label " models respectively, by reason Of the colour of the centre portion of the winged radiator badges. The former, in all forms up to 1924, with open bodywork, would do 46 m.p.h. on third gear and 70 to 73 m.p.h. in top and the Speed Model 67. on third and 80 to 82 m.p.h. in top without exceeding the maker's rev, limits of 3,000 r.p.m. and 3,500 r.p.m. respec tively. Naturally, tuning a " Blue Label " resolves into first converting it into ' a " Red Label," so that it is permissible to deal with the variations in specifications between the two types. The Standard car had a wheelbase of 10 ft. 10 ins., the Speed Model one of Oft. 01 ins., the respective weights being 24f cwt. and 221cwt. in chassis form. The weight limits under guarantee were, respectively, 35 and 281 cwt. The. Standard car has a single Smith-Bentley five-jet carburetter, the Speed Model twin SIT. instruments. The Standard chassis had the " B" type gearbox with ratios of 16.2, 8.$, 6.5 and 4.23 to 1 (reverse 16.2 to 1). The wide gap between first and second resulted in a slow change, but the 16.2 to 1 bottom gear is useful for mountainous touring and is Sometimes loaned for this reason by Mr. McKenzie to Speed Model clients, The Speed Model normally had the "A " type box giving ratios of 10.0, 6,18, 5.05 and 3.78 to 1 (reverse 10.0 to 1) and a rapid change from first to second if a clutch stop is fitted, a straight through change from second to third, and a slower change from third to top. Naturally, higher speeds on the indireets are possible with the " A " type box. Other differences include D.N. shock-absorbers on the long chassis and Hartfords on the Speed Model, a single, three-baffle silencer on the Speed Model and a double expansion-box with fantail on the long chassis, and a lower tail pipe on the Speed Model. The long chassis cars had a compression-ratio of 4.3 to 1 and developed 70 b.h.p. at 3,800 r.p.m., while the Speed Models up to 1925 had a compression-ratio of 5.8 to 1 and gave 80 b.h.p. at 3,200 r.p.m. The 1926-28 Speed Models were designed for a 4.8 to 1 compression-ratio but an error was made in the drawings and they actually have 5.6 to 1. The twin carburetters have been mentioned ; they were Smith single-jet on the 1924 Speed Models and S.U.s thereafter. Tuning a " Blue Label" long chassis model resolves itself into first of all converting to" Red Label "specification. The wheelbase can be shortened by cutting the side-members in front of the rear spring anchorage and before the compensator cross-shaft and shortening the propeller shaft, but a better method is to obtain a new, short frame which will be unstressed and in good order. Twin carburetters with the manifolding to belt them in place without drastic alteration can be obtained from Bentley Motors, Ltd., for about 1l3 10s. Actually, two different
sizes of carburetter are available. The " B " type gearbox can be fitted but if this is done the higher axle-ratio should
be used. The Speed Model normally had the 3.78 axle, but a few cars had a top gear of 3.53 to 1, useful for speed work. Turning now to the Speed Model, additional modifications can be carried out for speed work, but it is a unit that does not show a great increase in horse power. If the valves are stamped " S " they must be scrapped and replaced with K.V. 9-05 or Hadfield's Heckler valves. The compression-ratiO can be put up to 6.5 to 1 without resort to special fuels, although the 3-litre is more prone to pinking than the 4Hitre. This ratio can be obtained by machining 5 ni.m. from the bast of the cylital which is the limit permissible with the standard pistons (low-compression type). If this is done the top piston rings must be omitted and it is essential to deepen the con-rod relief slots by 11 ni,m, as even with the standard compression-ratio the rods are apt to foul if big-end clearance is too liberal. A better method of raising the compression is to use special pistons, particularly as modern thought suggests that the older designs use too narrow ring lands. liecrankshaft balance is satisfactory but the eon,-rods should be balanced and the piston weights equalised, which can sometimes be done
by changing round the rings. These modifications, carefully carried out, will increase the output to about 88 b.h.p., which was the power developed by Bentley's own Le Mans cars. Mr. McKenzie has had 100 b.h.p. out of the 3-litre, but only in highly experimental form. The road performance can be further enhanced by using the " " type gearbox from a late 1927 Or 1928 Standard Six Bentley or from a 4k-litre. The " A " and " D " type boxes have ratios of 2.64, 1.63, 1.23 and 1 to 1, whereas the" C "type box has ratios of 3.364, 1.823, 1.375 and 1 to 1. Before leaving the 3-litre there are some servicing matters of interest to those developing this power-unit. Particularly is it desirable to pressure-test the cooling system whenever the block is removed, for the oil-drain tubes passing oil from the camcase to the sump are apt to corrode and leak water into the crankcase, and a tiny trickle will pass unnoticed, yet can dilute the lubricant sufficiently to thin the engine bearings in three months. A nother important point is that the long chassis cars had camshafts needing .004″ and .006″ clearance on inlet and exhaust respeetively, with the engine hot. Speed Models for 1.926 and subsequent years require a clearance of .019″ all round. Frequently the earlier cars have been fitted with the later-type camshafts and new owners, on the advice of an early instruction book. set to the small clearances, whereupon the exhaust yalvs-s burn and shed their heads. The trouble cen be avoided by remembering that BM 2391 camshafts require the small clearances and BM 6800 camshafts the larger setting. The very early engines (up to No. 222) require a setting of .015" and this usually applies if they have hard ened valve caps. The st andard carburetter setting recommended by Bentley's for the Smith-Bentley carburetter was :— 45 Well jet, 45 No. 1, 75 No. 2, 50 No. 3 and 35 No. 4. Standard ignition advance
was 450 before t.d.c. fully advanced on both magnetos. The thermostat setting should maintain 75 to 80°C. The 'correct oil-pressure is 12 lb. at 30 m.p.h. in top gear with the oil thoroughly hot. Firing order 1, 3, 4, 2. The 3-litte Bentley engine, although designed with a big safety margin, nevertheless developed almost its maximum safe power output in production form. To raise this by 8 b.h.p. is a very satisfactory accomplishment and tuning chiefly resolves itself into improving the torque to improve acceleration or to enable higher gear-ratios to be used with a consequent increase in speed. Performance increase is largely dependent on reduction of weight and head resistance. Even so, we believe that a spccial-bodied 3litre guaranteed to do 100 m.p.h. was put on the market about 1925 and early racing examples driven by Dr. Benjafidd and Capt. Woolf I3arnato lapped Brooklands at 102 to 103 m.p.h. and about 104 m.p.h. respectively. H. P. Bowler's four-seater lapped at over 95 m.p.h. As the year of the car affects subsequent hotting-up modifications, it may be noted that 1924 engines are numbered 368 up and 376 up, 1925 engines from 747-749 up, and 1926 engines from 1,200 up–engine. numbers on the front cross-member. The 3-litre was virtually discontinued in 1927 but about twenty-five long chassis and some five Speed Models were made that would rank as 1928 cars. Although the Speed Model wheelbase has been quoted as 9 ft, 91 ins., ten special cars were made with a wheelbase of 9 ft. Concerning the chassis, front brakes were added to both chassis about September 1923. 1922 chassis have geared up dynamos running
at three times camshaft speed. Late 1923 chassis have a Hardy coupling in the carden shaft. One final note : if new pistons, etc., have been fitted as part of the tuning operation, it is well to remember that Bentley Motors Ltd. used to specify a running-in period of 200 miles for new pistons and 500 miles for new bearings.
The 44-litre
The 41-litre, 100 x 140 m.m. fourcylinder Bentley was produced as an experiment for the 1927 24-Hour Race at Le Mans and followed the general spedfication of the s-litre so closely as to be a
virtual enlargement. It was put into production in 1928. All years had twin S.T. carburetters. The closed models usually had a compression plate to give a ratio of 5.1 to 1 and the open-bodied ears had a compression-ratio of 5.3 to 1. The output was about HO b.h.p. The 1928 cars had a cone-clutch, later models a plate
clutch. A refinement is to fit a plate clutch to the 1928 cars, and Mr. McKenzie can now supply Borg and Beck plate clutch assemblies for £30, which are not only a great improvement but which save 60 lb. over the Bentleyplate clutch, being only about 6 lb. heavier than the 1928 cone assembly. Tuning operations largely follow those applying to the 3-litre. The crankshaft only requires balancing for racing work, but con.-rods should be balanced and piston weights equalised. The flywheel should be lightened, which also applies to the 3-litre. 1.7p to 14 lb. can be removed but further weight reduction is difficult to achieve. The lubrication system can cope with the additional loads, but a highgeared oil-pump may be used for racing purposes. The valve springs can be left unaltered. The compression-ratio can be raised by milling the base of the block. For speed work 6 m.m. may be removed, and pump fuels can still be used. Special pistons are desirable. Specialoid can supply suitable ones, with a saving of about 3 oz., but Mr. McKenzie has a design of his own which has several considerable advantages and a weight con servation of 4 oz. each. The standard B.H.B. pistons are prone to head collapse at speeds above 3,500 r.p.m. With 6 m.m. off the block the output will be in the region of 125 b.h.p. at 3,500 r.p.m. Normally this is the highest output permissible and in any ease torque may be expected to fall away above 3,750 r.p.m. When the block is milled the cam shaft drive is sometimes disturbed. The best remedy is to bore the taper and allow the vertical shaft to protrude higher than before into the head assembly. The standard S.U. carburetters, either 45° or vertical, Cannot be bettered, nor should the standard settings be changed for ordinary tuning purposes. As with the 3-litre cars, much can be done by variation of gear-ratios and reduction -of chassis weight. The top gear ratios are usually 3.78 or 3.53 to 1, with 3.3 to 1 the highest ratio, sometimes used on two seater examples. These are with the " C " type and " D " type boxes. The standard chassis weighs 25 cwt. and the four-seater about 37 cwt. Weight reduction is naturally dependent on the shortening of the wheelbase from the standard length of 10 ft. 10 in. The car built by Windrum and Garstin for M. Chambers to drive weighs about 27 cwt. with a shortened frame (actually a 3-litre chassis) but the fuel tank when full adds 4 cwt. which is valuable from the viewpoint of wheel adhesion under trials conditions. There is one very important point to be considered before hottingup is commenced. Certain early 41-litres had unsatisfactory connecting rods, most of which have been replaced, but about twenty cars remain in service with the original rods. This applies to S.L. and S.T. series engines and these rods should. be replaced before any attempt is made to increase speed and output. Incidentally, these chassis number pre(' xes. were changed about every twenty-five cars, without there necessarily being any change in specification. The unblown 41-litre, normally capable of 85 to 90 m.p.h., can be develow_d into a very fast
car. For example, the short chassis, car aforementioned laps Brooklands at over 91 m.p.h. with a 6 to 1 compressionratio, and it has extremely good acceleration. Miss Margaret Allan's four-seater lapped Brooklands at over 98 m.p.h.,. and Baker-Carr's short two-seater at over 104, while a 41-litre Bentley engine developed for racing purposes and installed in the single-seater Pacey-Hassan chassis, has lapped at over 128 m.p.h. The tappet-clearance is .019″ all round.
The Blown 41-litre
A development of the standard 44litre, to which a Villiers-Root supercharger driven from the nose of the crankshaft was added by C. Amherst-Villiers for Bentley Motors Ltd. and on which much experimental work was carried out on behalf of the late Sir Henry Birkin, Bt., at his Welwyn shops. The 19P.0 engine was blown at 10 lb. per square inch and the 1931 unit at 12 lb., the latter having a ribbed blower casing. The compressionratio is believed to have been the same for both years but was later reduced to Continued on page 391 obviate plug troubles, by fitting a com pression-plate. Afterwards suitable plugs were found and the compressionratio raised to the former ratio. The output was in the region of 175 b.h.p., and the Standard 10 ft. 10 in, wheelbase 1930 four-seater did -about 98 m.p.h. The special short-chassis four-seater raced by Birkin gave about 240 b.h.p., the port areas being increased and larger valves
used. Robertson-Roger, the present owner, is using a standard cylinder-block, but these blocks can be Modified in the manner described without recourse to fresh casting. This four-seater could do about 130 m.p.h., while it is common knowledge that the famous blower singleseater was capable of speeds approaching 150 m.p.h., taking the B rookl ands Lap Record in 1932 at 137.96 m.p.h.
The Sixes
The Standard Big Six 100 x 140 Mill. 6k-litre model was introduced at the end of 1926 and went out of production in 1929. With single-carburetter it gave 130 b.h.p., the compression-ratio being very low. Tuning may be carried out on almost identical lines to that of the 4i-litre. If the block is milled to
The 8-litre Bentley. put up the compression-ratio it may be necessary to readjust the triple-throw
system of camshaft drive. With 1929 standard modifications these engines gave 140 b.h.p. at 3,200 -r.p.m., and by raising the compression-ratio and fitting twin or triple S.U. carburetters the output can be brought into line with that of the Speed ,Six (175 b.h.p.) which was first produced late in 1928 and continued to 1931, most of the sales being Speed Sixes for the later period. The Speed Six has achieved over 130 m.p.h. on Brooklands in racing form, and the Barnato-HananSpecial with the 8-litre engine held the Lap Record for a time at 142.6 m.p.h.
Three chassis lengths of the Standard Six were made. 1930 models had larger inlet ports than the earlier cars,. friction shock-absorbers at the front and hydraulic at the rear and dual in place of double magneto ignition. Also larger fuel tanks. The normal top gear was 4.16 to 1, and the speed about 85 m.p.h. and weight with open body 45 cwt. The Speed Six had a top-gear ratio of 3.53 to 1, a chassis weight of 34 cwt. and a speed of about 90 m.p.h. The 8-litre Six-cylinder could exceed 100 m.p.h. in standard trim. The top-gear ratio was 3.53 to 1, and rev. limit 3,500 r.p.m. Same of Mr. McKenzie's tuning operations on the latter type were described last February. The compression-ratio may be raised from 5.1 to 5.6 to 1, and the axle-ratio raised to 3.3 to 1. With balanced Crankshaft and conrods, lighter pistons and a better exhaust system 4,300 r.p.m. may be realised. Twin Delco &ins will give easier starting and better low speed running than dual
besides being easier to synchronise.
The Ricardo o.h. Inlet Engine
About fifty of these 4-litre cars were produced after the o.h. camshaft Bentleys had gone out of production. The bottom half of the engine is beautifully made and would permit of a greatly increased output. The head design does not allow any increase of compression-ratio and increasing the port areas and fitting triple carburetters only results in an output of 150 b.h.p. against the standard
output of 120 b.h.p. Supercharging is the most likely development, but Mr. McKenzie installs 61-litre old-type engines in the 4-litre chassis for clients who require improved running while retaining the advantages possessed by the later chassis.

Q: Android PN532 not working anymore I am working on a project, and I'm trying to send/receive data through a PN532 connected to an Arduino Uno and an Android smartphone.
I'm using an HTC One M8 and Seeed-Studio library https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/PN532.
The problem is that P2P mode was working, but since I've upgraded my phone from Android 4.4 (KitKat) to Android 5.0 (Lollipop) it didn't work any more. I've tried to switch to I²C and UART, but it didn't work.
When I'm using the "p2p_with_ndef_library" example, the PN532 seems to detect my phone but it prints "Failed.".

Update: Finally I've tried with another NFC module, and it works. My module was broken for some reason.

A: I was doing this by Samsung Galaxy S III and Xperia L, and it was done prefect. It should done by SPI mode only. And your data should be less than 128 byte or 139 byte. But it's better that less than 128 bytes.

When you bring home a new houseplant, it's only natural to want to display it somewhere central like your living room or bedroom. However, you may change your thinking after being introduced to latest trend taking over the indoor gardening world: shower plants. According to Pinterest's 2017 Home Work Report, searches for shower plants have increased by over three hundred percent this past year. "These plants thrive in high humidity, allowing them to grow well in the shower or bathroom," says Eileen Tongson of FarmGal Flowers about why they're having a moment. "People often don't think of the bathroom as a place to put their plants, but they'll be pleasantly surprised at how well they do in there." Aside from helping transform your bathroom into a personal sanctuary, here are some benefits of owning a shower plant.
Not only are shower plants great for improving air quality, but they also help absorb excess moisture and fend off any bacteria lingering in your bathroom. Plus, they can boost your mood in the morning. "Studies show that plants reduce stress and anxiety while increasing energy," says Tongson, adding that greenery is a great non-caffeinated alternative to help jumpstart your day.
Since your bathroom's moisture and humidity level mirrors a beach vacation, think tropical in terms of plants. While choosing a shower plant comes down to personal preference, some of the most popular types include flowering plants, air plants, and ferns.
If you are looking to add a touch of color, orchids thrive in the bathroom. "Phalaenopsis does best," says Tongson about what variety to choose. (Phalaenopsis is the technical name for the moth orchid). Another good option is the Mother In Law's Tongue, a long leafy plant with a yellow border along the leaves (bonus: it's been shown to help filter chemicals out the air).
For hanging pots, opt for a spider plant as its cascading leaves make it perfect for above. Plus, it helps remove odors and fumes from the air. Or, you may want to consider Tillandsia, a kind of air plant that doesn't require soil and can be placed anywhere. Ferns are another good option, because the versatile moisture-lovers look equally as chic on your windowsill as they do in a basket.
For a statement-making shower display, think bamboo. With shoots that often come braided or woven in interesting ways, this leafy species dresses up countertops, requires minimal work, and is said to bring peace. You can easily grow the exotic plant a few feet tall, blocking you neighbors view.
A huge perk is that many shower plants don't require a lot of sun to survive. In general, they'll flourish on a windowsill or in that dim corner next to your shampoo and conditioner. To be safe, always double-check the needs of the specific type of plant you want to bring home before buying.
Even if you're new to the houseplant game, it's relatively hard to kill a shower plant. "The amount of water your plant will need depends on the temperature and how much sunlight your bathroom receives," says Tongson. "But in general, when your plant's soil feels dry, water until it runs out in the saucer below." This is typically once a week.
She also recommends adding a liquid houseplant fertilizer to your watering can once a month to encourage green leaves and flowers. Do keep in mind that some plants may need slightly different care, including the Tillandsia (this species needs to be submerged in water once a week for fifteen to twenty minutes), so always inquire if you're unsure.
Cue the Pinterest spree. From hanging baskets to installations inside your shower to unique terrariums, there are endless ways to show off your shower plants. It boils down to your space and personal taste. The number one thing to keep in mind is that adding greenery to your bathroom should trigger calm, spa-like vibes. Choose décor that helps transform your shower into a tropical oasis—trust us, it makes getting up early for work a little more enjoyable.

Diante da [indefinição quanto ao início do horário de verão em 2018][horario-de-verao-2018], muitas pessoas sofreram nas últimas 2 semanas com seus celulares se adiantando em 1 hora sozinhos. Ontem eu fiz um [*post*][horario-de-verao-2018] explicando como configurar seu [computador pessoal (PC)][pc] com [Linux][linux] para se prevenir de situações como essas. Entendendo que [Android também é Linux][android-linux], resolvi escrever outro *post* explicando como configurar a data e a hora de dispositivos móveis (*smartphones* e *tablets*) com [Android][android].

## 1) O que aconteceu

Não vou explicar de novo nesse *post* o que aconteceu, para detalhes leia o *post* anterior:

- [Acordou com a hora do computador errada? Entenda o que aconteceu][horario-de-verao-2018]

Mas resumindo, desde o ano passado, o início do horário de verão no Brasil em 2018 já teve 3 mudanças: passou de 21/10 para 04/11, depois para 18/11, e por fim foi mantido em 04/11. Diante dessas mudanças, os celulares de muitas pessoas meio que enlouqueceram:

- [Celulares da TIM 'se apressam' e adiantam o relógio para o horário de verão][tecmundo1]
- [Celulares erram de novo e entram em horário de verão antes da hora][tecmundo2]

## 2) Como saber se seu dispositivo foi afetado

Você pode verificar se a data e a hora do seu dispositivo Android estão corretas acessando o *site* do projeto [NTP.br][ntpbr], que mantém servidores de hora que informam a data e hora corretas no Brasil:

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/ntpbr-hora-certa-android.jpg" %}

## 3) Como se prevenir dessas mudanças

Geralmente é uma boa opção configurar o dispositivo Android para sincronizar a data e a hora com a rede (essa rede pode ser tanto a rede da operadora quanto a Internet). Com isso, você não precisa se preocupar com o início e o fim do horário de verão: seu dispositivo Android muda a data e hora automaticamente quando necessário.

Para fazer toda a configuração de data, hora e fuso horário do seu dispositivo Android de forma automática, toque em **Configurar** > **Sistema** > **Data e hora** e certifique-se de que as opções **Data e hora automáticas** e **Fuso horário automático** estejam habilitadas:

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-1-pt.jpg" %}

Verifique se o dispositivo mostra o fuso horário correto na opção **Selecionar fuso Horário**. No meu caso, ele mostra **GMT-03:00 Horário Padrão de Brasília** porque estou no sul do Brasil, uma região que adota o horário de verão, assim como Brasília.

Verifique também se agora sua data e hora estão corretas.

Caso esteja tudo certo, pronto, não há mais o que fazer.

Caso contrário, perceba que o Android permite configurar manualmente a data e hora, ou o fuso horário, ou os dois. Você pode alterar manualmente apenas o que não estiver correto.

O mais comum é precisar mudar apenas o fuso horário: se você mora em uma região que não adota o horário de verão (Nordeste ou Norte), deve alterar o fuso horário para outro que também não adote o horário de verão.

Consulte o mapa abaixo para saber se seu estado adota ou não o horário de verão:

{% include image.html src="/files/2016/10/mapa-horario-de-verao-2016-2017.jpg" caption="Estados que adotam horário de verão no Brasil (referências: [G1](http://g1.globo.com/economia/noticia/2016/10/horario-de-verao-comeca-em-16-de-outubro-e-vai-ate-19-de-fevereiro.html) e [Decreto nº 8.112](http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2011-2014/2013/Decreto/D8112.htm), mapa derivado do [mapa do Brasil em branco disponível na WikiMedia](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brazil_Blank_Map_light.svg))" %}

{% capture atualizacao %}
Mantive esse _post_ como foi escrito, mas o uso do horário de verão no Brasil foi encerrado em 2019.

Caso o fabricante não disponibilize atualização de _software_ (o que é comum em dispositivos Android) e, mesmo após seguir as instruções nessa paǵina, o dispositivo insista em adiantar o relógio, experimente utilizar um fuso horário que historicamente não adotou o horário de verão (por exemplo, o fuso horário de **Maceió**).

Para mais informações sobre o fim do horário de verão no Brasil, leia:

- [Não temos mais horário de verão: seu computador já sabe disso?]({% post_url pt/2019-10-21-nao-temos-mais-horario-de-verao-seu-computador-ja-sabe-disso %})
{% endcapture %}
{% include update.html date="21/10/2019" message=atualizacao %}

Para configurar o fuso horário manualmente, desative a opção **Fuso horário automático** e toque em **Selecionar fuso horário**. Na tela seguinte, toque em **Fuso horário**:

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-2-pt.jpg" %}

Selecione um fuso horário que não adote o horário de verão, por exemplo, **Bahia**:

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-3-pt.jpg" %}

Observe que o Android confirma que esse fuso horário não adota o horário de verão (leia **Sem horário de verão**):

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-4-pt.jpg" %}

Toque no ícone de **Voltar** no canto superior esquerdo da tela.

Não se espante se na tela **Data e hora** o Android ainda mostra o fuso horário **GMT-03:00 Horário Padrão de Brasília**:

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-5-pt.jpg" %}

Se você tocar em **Selecionar fuso horário** de novo verá que está selecionado o fuso horário da Bahia. Provavelmente ele guarda nas configurações que deve usar a mesma hora que Brasília, porém sem o horário de verão.

Agora que você mudou o fuso horário, verifique se sua data e hora estão corretas.

Se mesmo selecionando o fuso horário manualmente a data e hora estiverem incorretas, você terá que configurá-las manualmente.

Para configurar a data e hora manualmente, desative a opção **Data e hora automáticas** e use as opções **Definir data** e **Definir hora** conforme necessário:

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-6-pt.jpg" %}

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-7-pt.jpg" %}

{% include image.html src="/files/2018/10/howto-android-clock-8-pt.jpg" %}

Nesse caso, como sua configuração agora é totalmente manual, lembre-se de sempre ajustar a data e hora quando o horário de verão começar e terminar.

I fidgeted nervously in the corner of the West Van Library, waiting for the arrival of my interviewee, Pasha Eshghi. Having heard so many wonderful things about his work, I was eager to meet the young man behind the creations. Right on schedule, Pasha walked in and peered over a sea of heads, looking almost as anxious as I. I waved him over and extended my hand, "Hello Pasha, how nice to finally meet you!" He shook my hand and replied with his own warm hello, settling into the armchair next to mine. "So, what would you like to know?"
Reassured by his easy demeanor, I asked him to tell me a bit about himself. "Well there's not much," he laughed, "but let's see. I went to Collingwood from grade one till grade 12 and absolutely loved it. My family is originally from Iran, but I was born and raised in Vancouver. Oh, and I really like watching and playing hockey and tennis-- being active is an important part of my life. More importantly, I need to have fun!"
It was now my turn to laugh; his relaxed approach on life was indeed refreshing. "Let's talk about art, what does it mean to you? Did anyone inspire you?"
He reflected silently for a minute, tracing the pattern of the armchair with his fingers, " For me, in the field of filmmaking, art is a form of entertainment. It's about putting people in the seats (or these days behind their computer screens) and presenting a product that somehow emotionally moves them whether it be through drama or comedy, and leaves a lasting effect on them. I have to give huge credit to Collingwood's own Michael Wener, as if it wasn't for him and his Drama course I'm not sure I'd be pursuing film like I am today. In terms of directors I look up to, Christopher Nolan is definitely one of my favourites. His films share this energetic, gritty and intense feel that draws you in as a viewer and doesn't let you breathe until the final credits roll."
Okay, so maybe he wasn't so relaxed… but the intensity of his work was quite impressive. "What types of films do you enjoy creating?"
"I personally like making action and/or comedy movies; these are what I am currently working on. Everybody likes to laugh, and it's my job as the director and writer to bring those laughs to the audience. I always loved watching big budget action movies, and I think creating a synergy between action and comedy results in a wonderful product that can be both dramatic and exhilarating while still being light hearted and playful. I am in the final editing stages of my first "professional" short film named "Reap The Ruby". It is, as you could have guessed, an action comedy about a jewel thief planning for his next and greatest heist when suddenly his deadbeat brother shows up, sees his plans and forces himself onto the heist. The film will be screened at UBC's POV film festival in April."
"That must be so exciting!" I exclaimed, perched on the edge of my seat. "Please tell me you're going to pursue film for a long ways to come."
He nodded and smiled, "I hope to keep making short films and continue to refine my work for the time being. Ideally, I see myself working in Los Angeles in a few years to continue pursuing this. I hope to one day be making feature length films, and not necessarily only action or comedies."
After the interview, I sat in awe for a few minutes, trying to absorb the grandeur of his determination and plans. The best of luck to you, Pasha!

Q: Launching scripts from bash and directing outputs I have a question about syntax of bash regarding launching scripts from within bash script.
My questions are:

*

*I've seen the following syntax:
#!/bin/bash
python do_something.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Can you please explain what is directed to /dev/null, and what is the meaning of 2>&1 if before already mentioned /dev/null?

*In addition if I have a line defined like:
python do_something.py > 2>&1 &

how is that different?

*If I have the same python file in many paths, how can I differentiate between each process after launching ps -ef |grep python.
When I'm doing so, I get a list of processes which are all called do_something.py, it would be nice if I could have the full execution path string of each pid; how can I do that?
NOTE: The python file launched is writing its own log files.

A: 1) stdout (Standard Output) is redirected to /dev/null and stderr (error messages) is redirected to standard output i.e console.

*

*1>filename : Redirect stdout to file "filename."

*1>>filename: Redirect and append stdout to file "filename."

*2>filename : Redirect stderr to file "filename."

*2>>filename: Redirect and append stderr to file "filename."

*&>filename : Redirect both stdout and stderr to file "filename."

3) Using the ps auxww flags, you will see the full path to output in both your terminal window and from shell scripts. "ps manual":
-w         Wide output. Use this option twice for unlimited width.

A: Answers:
1, 2. > redirects whatever that is printed in stdout as result of executing the command (in your case python do_something.py) to a file called /dev/null. The /dev/null is kind of a black hole. Whatever you write to it disappers.
2>&1 redirects the output of stderr (which has fd as 2) to stdout (whose fd is 1).
Refer I/O redirection for more info about redirections.
Refer this link for more info about /dev/null

A: Ok, diclaimer: I don't have access to a bash right now, so I might be wrong.

*

*Let's break your command: python do_something.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &
python do_something.py will run your command
> /dev/null will redirect stdout to /dev/null
2>&1 will redirect stderr to stdout
& will fork your process and run in background
So your command will ignore stdout/stderr and be run in background which
is equivalent to the command python do_something.py >& /dev/null & [1][2]

*python do_something.py > 2>&1 &:
> 2 will redirect stdout to a file named 2
>&1 will redirect stdout to stdout (yes stdout to stdout)
& will fork your process and run in background
So this command is almost equivalent to python do_something.py >2 &,
it will redirect the output to a file named 2 (eg: echo 'yes' > 2>&1)
Note: the behavior of >&1 is probably unspecified.

*Since you have run your command using &, your command will be fork and
run in background, therefore I'm not aware of any way to do it in that
case. You can still lookup the /proc directory [3] to see from
which directory your command have been run thought.
[1]: What is the difference between &> and >& in bash?
[2]: In the shell, what does " 2>&1 " mean?
[3]: ls -l /proc/$PROCCESSID/cwd

Kaschak Institute supports climate change on a global stage … – Binghamton
The Ellyn Uram Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls has as its mission to promote social justice and equity for women and girls, both domestically and around the globe.
"We're trying to invest in new generations by fostering high-impact learning opportunities, bringing together researchers across campus and the world, and connecting our research expertise to communities locally and globally," said institute Executive Director Lorena Aguilar.
A long-time advocate for climate change, Aguilar said one area the institute focuses on is the linkage between social justice and environmental sustainability, with a very important area of work being climate change," she said.
Climate Change CV developed for campus
Through the Kaschak Institute, two undergraduate students — Cynthia Tan, who has an interest in philosophy, politics and law, and Jason Ocampo, an undergraduate majoring in human development — researched who is doing what at Binghamton in relation to climate change and developed a Climate Change CV.
Opening lines of communication among researchers and colleagues will be key in helping Binghamton University become a leader on climate justice, said Kaschak Institute Executive Director Lorena Aguilar. "One idea I have in coming months is to gather together as many professionals, students, staff and faculty who are working on climate change so we work more strategically."
For the past six months, Aguilar has been working to position the Kaschak Institute as a major player in the climate change arena through a number of initiatives.
"We're involved in supporting governments in developing Climate Change Gender Action Plans (ccGAPs)," she said. "For example, we have just supported Guatemala in its ccGAP. Within this context, we brought two students along to have firsthand experience on how to transform international decisions into national policies and processes."
For anthropology PhD student Ana Sanchez-Bachman, traveling to Guatemala was life-changing. "It was one thing to have a theoretical knowledge of climate policy, migration policy and the sorts of things governments have been doing to address these issues," she said. "It was another thing entirely to speak with people who had been impacted personally by changing climate patterns, and who had intimate experience with migration.
"Learning from women, both in policy making circles and from grass roots activists, has profoundly changed how I approach my work," Sanchez-Bachman added. "I do hope to continue working on topics around climate change, and my time in Guatemala has motivated me to do so in a way that might result in actionable information that can be more widely shared."
At the policy level, the institute will continue to support the government of Guatemala. There is also the possibility of collaborating with other partners in countries like Rwanda. "This will allow different faculty, staff and students to engage in the development of ccGaps that are very comprehensive documents that require a lot of research and analysis," Aguilar added.
The institute has also been placing itself in the major climate change decision-making bodies, including the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), known as COP 27, that was held in Egypt in November 2022.
Aguilar said that, for the first time, Binghamton University and the Kaschak Institute were present at the conference where significant decisions were being made. "We conducted a mentorship program for indigenous, youth, and new gender and climate change country negotiators. We also raised our voice to recognize gender equality, and women empowerment and the work women have been doing."
These activities, Aguilar said, have already portrayed the institute as a place to go. "Little by little, we are establishing that we are a place to go to. And we're looking in the future to becoming a center of excellence."
As a result of the mentorship program held at COP 27, the institute has been asked to provide mentorship to support more than a dozen Global South negotiators who will attend the next conference. "They want to come to the institute to develop their capacity in understanding the linkages between gender equality and climate change," Aguilar said. "
"Between June and July this year, we are planning to host a group of these negotiators, with an alliance of other organizations like UN Women and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), so we can develop their capacity, understanding and knowledge of how to bring these topics into climate change negotiations," Aguilar said.
In addition, the institute, in alliance with other members, is planning to cohost various workshops at COP 28, in the United Arab Emirates in November of this year, to help define the elements for next gender action plan (GAP) of the convention. "There have been two gender action plans so far, so we are going to be providing aid for the third gender action plan," Aguilar said. "The presidency of COP 28 contacted us, so Binghamton and the institute can become one of their allies in this process. That is just one of the things that will happen this year because of the work we did at COP 27 last year."
Yet another initiative the institute is planning is an upcoming Summit on Climate Change in Black Communities, in conjunction with the Dr. N. Joyce Payne Center for Social Justice, created by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and Binghamton's Harriet Tubman Center for Freedom and Equity.
"It will be the first of its type and scale to unite a variety of public, private, academic and civil sectors across the African American community around the issue of climate change to serve as a foundation for ongoing collaborations and actions that will center Black voices and perspectives in this fight," Aguilar said.
"Our idea is to convene leaders and policy makers and develop a comprehensive policy agenda and call to action related to climate change in African American communities," she added. "Hopefully, we will become a leader in this area and it will allow us to create a platform for ongoing cross-sector collaboration and plans of action related to race and climate change following the summit."
Finally, Aguilar said that the institute will this year become a leading organization for the United States' launch of the 1 Million Women (1MW) campaign that was created in Australia with the single goal of getting 1 million women to pledge to take small steps in their daily lives to save energy, reduce waste, curb pollution and lead change.
"We want to shape the 1 Million Women campaign to empower students to act on climate change and make an impact," Aguilar said. "This will allow us create and test it out to other universities and similar institutions across the United States. Hopefully, in April, the IMW CEO will come to campus sign an agreement between our institutions and launch the initiative."
Binghamton University is dedicated to the advancement of social justice for all individuals and populations. To that end, a number of institutes and centers have been established to promote research, ideas, communication and critical discourse in areas including human rights; equality for women and girls; and global health, progressive education and well-being for marginalized populations.
Each of these institutes and centers has a specific focus, yet they all exist to raise awareness of issues of historical, systemic injustices, and to explore ways to rise above these injustices to the benefit of the world's underrepresented.

It's hard to believe it's almost three years since we woke to the news that David Bowie had died.
Possibly because that incredible, unique voice continues to be a regular feature on our radios, alongside acts such as Live on Mars keeping the memory alive as they did at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham last night.
The real David Bowie last played Nottingham with a low-key gig at Rock City back in 1997. Live on Mars is said to be Influenced by Bowie's concert performances. I can only assume low-key is their intention.
The tribute act is itself a strange thing to be, somebody else's adulation, somebody else's songs, and you have to be something pretty special to try to recreate the magic of a David Bowie concert. With such incredible back catalogue of songs to choose from, musically a Bowie tribute act is never going to go far wrong.
Alex has a resemblance to Bowie and a voice that's close, but there's little in terms of showmanship to hold your attention on stage when you've got footage of Bowie continually running over head. The performance and the video are synced perfectly but if you're just watching the screen, It kind of defeats the object.
It's best to view it as an evening of celebration performed by a live band rather than expect the build up it's given in the promotional blurb which mentions the capturing of artistry, style and showmanship, alter egos and creative muse. Thankfully though all the hits are there, Five Years, Star Man, Life On Mars.
For the second set, there is no change of persona or costume, just another suit, as the hits continue, Rebel Rebel, Modern Love, Lets Dance. There doesn't appear to be any order to the tracks as we jump backwards and forwards through the decades.
All the Young Dudes is the encore, rather than the predictable Heroes, which instead ends the second set.

The Story of Chris
The frigid cold finally took its toll. Despite being homeless, Chris avoided staying in shelters. Instead, he slept outside near the Capitol, in abandoned buildings, or in the park. However, the winter of 2014 was the coldest weather he'd experienced, and it forced him to find warmth and respite.
When Chris arrived at the Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless (IPH) Emergency Shelter for Code Blue, he didn't realize that he'd be changing his life and inspiring a new program at IPH.
Due to the bitter cold, the dorms filled to capacity, but Chris and 12 others slept on the couches at the shelter. IPH worked tirelessly to develop a way to provide more. IPH's Safe Haven was opened with cots, hot meals, staff, and case managers to assist Chris and other individuals from the streets of Albany who needed these services.
Safe Haven provided warmth and safety that this community needed. Although the first signs of spring were met with enthusiasm, the adversity of the winter still hung heavily. Chris approached staff to show his gratitude… "You guys saved my life this winter."
Alcohol and drugs influenced Chris' decisions and led to his homelessness. "I was scared when I started sleeping on the streets, but I didn't know how to change things," he admitted.
Winter came again the next year, and Chris was back at Safe Haven without hesitation. He was in the same situation and knew now that he had a safe place to go. The second season saw an overall increase in guests needing shelter, in large part, because Chris and previous guests were spreading the word. Friends had died on the streets in the cold, and Chris didn't want anyone else to suffer.
At IPH, he met staff who were accepting and motivational. Chris visited the on-site nurse, talked with case managers, and started to see another possibility for his life. Staff guided Chris towards resources. After a second try at treatment, Chris is proudly one-year sober. After 4 years of homelessness, Chris has his own apartment. After years of unemployment, he works hard every day at his new job.
The 4 year journey together is far from over. Chris moved into IPH's permanent, supportive housing this summer and works with his case manager on his goal to maintain his sobriety, job, and housing. He's staying steady and grateful.
Healthier, clean, and stable, Chris looks and feels like a different person. "On the street, I was just trying to survive. I felt so hopeless. Now, I am happy where I am. I am proud. I never knew this was possible for me."
Spark new possibilities with a donation to IPH's Annual Fund.
There are so many ways that you can help us help others.

11 Honoré embraces micro-influencers
By Danny Parisi
With a new ambassador program called the Honoré Roll, plus-size fashion brand 11 Honoré is looking to shift from ad hoc partnerships with individual influencers to recruiting a more stable, longterm list of smaller influencers from within its own community.
11 Honoré joins companies like Adore Me, Birchbox and Benefit Cosmetics that have brought influencer management in-house, with a focus on developing more meaningful partnerships.
11 Honoré is recruiting potential influencers through its Instagram account and email blasts, asking them to apply to join the Honoré Roll on the company's website. The application asks for their Instagram handle and a short statement of why they want to join. If approved, ambassadors get to choose a product from a specially curated style selection and are asked to post pictures of the piece styled at least three different ways, along with a personalized promo code. The styles are mostly from 11 Honoré's recently launched private label collection, plus there are select brands in the same lower price, range like Tania Taylor. 11 Honoré will then share the influencer content on its own Instagram. Ambassadors get a VIP discount of 25% and two free pieces per month.
The company wants to begin by recruiting 11 influencers — thematically appropriate — before adding more if the first 11 successfully attract new customers. Nicole Phillips, 11 Honoré's director of social media and communications who is heading up the Honoré Roll, said the company is targeting people with more than 2,000 followers. And, while there is no follower limit, the program is intended for micro-influencers and people still growing an audience, as it is unpaid. Additionally, influencers must have a primarily female audience. Phillips said she is open to and encouraging of people with diverse interests and audiences, not just fashion-focused influencers. In fact, linking with beauty influencers or mommy bloggers is part of the strategy.
"Getting in front of new audiences is the biggest part of it," Phillips said. "We've had people tell us they discovered us through someone who otherwise is not a fashion-focused person, so there's a lot of room for different kinds of people here."
Phillips said this is the first formalization of the brand's influencer relations. Previously, collaborations with influencers like Candice Huffine and Nicolette Mason were handled informally by the marketing department, with help from CEO Patrick Herning. Rates were decided on an ad hoc basis and varied greatly, anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000 per campaign.
11 Honoré, like many brands today, is working with a tight budget, especially for marketing. Cultivating micro-influencers who can work through the 11 Honoré program saves the company money while opening the door to a more formalized influencer management system that can scale up as time goes on.
For brands, influencers remain effective at driving traffic and sales. According to data from GlobalWebIndex, more than a third of Instagram users use the platform to discover new brands through influencers. And the ROI on influencers has also been growing. According to InfluencerMarketingHub, for every $1 spent on influencers, brands are getting nearly $6 in earned media value, and the entire market is set to reach $9 billion in brand spend by the end of the year, even in pandemic conditions.
Though Phillips said 11 Honoré will continue existing partnerships with larger influencers outside of this program, the Honoré Roll is the company's new focus for influencers. The Honoré Roll is meant to be the beginning of a more organized process, something that Phillips said is important since influencers themselves are becoming more organized as well.
"There's a lot of transparency out there between influencers about how much they make and are getting paid, which is good for everyone," Phillips said. "It helps them get a fair rate and it helps the brands know how much is reasonable. When I first started doing influencer marketing, it was like the Wild West. Now it's really stabilized."
Editor's note: A prior version of this story said 11 Honoré had tightened its budget/made budget cuts. That was incorrect. This has been updated to reflect that the company has a tight budget and has shifted its marketing spend.

Lechery: Third Album Drops Soon!
Lechery was formed in 2006 by former Arch Enemy bass player Martin Bengtsson. The band started rehearsing and after a couple of years of playing small clubs and festivals Lechery recorded their debut album Violator in 2008. It was a great success in the 'classic' heavy metal countries and in Sweden Violator was voted a top 4 metal album of 2008. In late 2010, Lechery once again entered the studio to record a new album, and once again the recordings took place in The Sweet Spot, with Rickard Bengtsson as producer, who also has worked with bands such as Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars, Armageddon et cetera.
Back in 2011, Lechery released their second album In Fire, an album that by far topped the bands expectations. In Fire was much more varied than Violator but can still be seen as classic heavy metal at its best. Since then, Lechery has appeared on a couple of tours in, mostly, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe along with a lot of festivals and gigs around Europe.
Now the third chapter of the album history of Lechery is about to be written. The new album We Are All Born Evil will be released in 2018 and is ready to hit metal hearts all over the world. One can easily recognize the sound of Lechery because of the existence of pounding riffs, melodic twin-guitar battling and big choruses, but despite that the new album stands on its own with a greater depth of material without leaving the trail of classic heavy metal. We Are All Born Evil will satisfy the already convinced and gain a lot of new fans across the globe!

Are You as Willing As Zuckerberg to Commit to a Cause?
Published: Dec 17, 2015 by Michael Guta In Social Media 2
The face of philanthropy has changed since Bill Gates gave away billions of dollars to the foundation he created with his wife, Melinda Gates. This has encouraged billionaires to pledge the vast majority, if not all, of their wealth when they pass away or while they are still alive.
The latest people to do so – are Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.
In a heartfelt letter they wrote to their daughter, the couple pledged to give away 99 percent of their Facebook shares during their lives to advance some of the causes that were outlined in the letter.
Just in case you are wondering, that 99 percent comes to around $45 billion, according to the latest valuation of the shares they own.
But the question here is – are you as willing as Zuckerberg to commit to a cause?
The answer, of course, depends on who you are and what you do. And while the vast majority of us can't give away 99 percent of our wealth, it is fair to say Americans, more than most people in other nations, commit to a cause and and support many that they believe in.
If, like Mark and Priscilla, we all had hundreds of millions of dollars left after we donated 99 percent of our wealth, this would be par for the course. (By the way, the one percent they will have left from the $45 billion comes out to $454 million.)
According to Giving USA, individual, family, corporate and foundation giving in the U.S. resulted in hundreds of billions of dollars being donated to help a wide range of causes.
The organization revealed the following donations for 2014:
Average U.S. annual household contribution was $2,974.1,
Americans gave $358.38 billion in 2014, a 7.1 percent increase from 2013,
Corporations gave $17.77 billion, a 13.7 percent increase from 2013,
Foundations gave $53.7 billion, an 8.2 percent increase from 2013, and
In 2014, the largest source of charitable giving came from individuals at $258.51 billion, or 72 percent of total giving; followed by foundations ($53.97 billion/15 percent), bequests ($28.13 billion/8 percent), and corporations ($17.77 billion/5 percent).
Economic times being what they are, not everyone can give money to commit to a cause. And again, that is where giving doesn't have to be all about money, because volunteering contributes just as much to help support the cause individuals, small businesses and large enterprises believe in.
Whether it is a national campaign to run 5Ks to raise breast cancer awareness, or washing cars in a church parking lot to help a local family in need, the act of volunteering is just as commendable.
The National Philanthropic Trust reported 64.5 million adults volunteered 7.9 billion hours of service worth an estimated value of $175 billion in 2014. To the recipients of these acts of generosity, what the volunteers have done has just as much of an impact, and in some cases more than monetary donations.
By nature human beings are philanthropic. Granted there are conditions that diminish this trait, but as a whole we like to help each other. Although the people that give billions of dollars get most of the attention, it is fair to say the vast majority of us commit to a cause we believe in the best we can.

I think business owners should make it a point to commit to a cause? Why? So that they will be working for more than their goals and material things in life. I know it may sound preachy. But it is more inspiring to work for something that is bigger than yourself.
Natalya Seabrooke
That's very generous! Some people are going to say that they still have enough money so they can afford it. That's true but it's still very generous to donate such a huge part of the money you earned. Marc and his wife are truly nice people!


The painter talks only unwillingly about what he is doing. That is a cliché, and yet it is no shortcoming—his works are a carrier of meaningful processes. Black ink is being applied with a broad brush on paper and again washed away, whereby substantial parts of the shiny paint layer drains off the sink. Only those paint residues remain as painterly gestures on the paper due to the water pressure or drying.
It is about marking and painting over, hiding and showing. The work within the studio is central to Walter. The merely handling with spanned paper in these dimensions and with water requires a lot material-related knowledge and experience. Also, the repeated painterly gesture in all works is apparently no eruptive outbreak but a result of an intensive study. Walter calls them "dog". A simple shape which he has extracted from his form vocabulary and which he deliberately has chosen as a carrier for the signum "painterly gesture". In the "dog", coincidence and repetition are in a balanced relation. At the same time a "dog" or only "half a dog" can mark henceforth areas of the paper, where this relinquishes its tensed flatness. It presents itself as soft and true storage of even minimum painterly occurrences. If you want, you can discover in the ramifications of the ink fantastic landscapes as for instance to find in polished stone surfaces. In the time of curiosity cabinets those stones appeared as artworks of a super-personal creating natura pictrix which should nourish the imagination of its owners.
Walter's method is not only a result of continuous research of the graphics means under self-imposed, narrow limits. Possibly, his practice also points to a worldliness phobically cast aside by the abstraction of his works—in the spirit of analysis this worldliness has paved its way there where you could control it least. The painterly gesture and its trace on the surface as well as the characteristics of the material and its origin and history of usage give enough clues for the delineation of an oeuvre which ignores its creator nonchalant at this point. Thereby, you could stop—but then you wouldn't bank on Walter, who has chosen two different ways through the back door to position himself in the paintings as their creator. The first way leads from the studio into the gallery rooms and concerns the arrangement of the paintings and sheets in space. Walter carefully reacts to the spatial specifications and uses what was formerly an autonomous image as a decorative spatial element with a subtle potential for interference. So, his biggest upright format is overlapping the defined hanging space, it edges over the end of the mounted wall and accepts gladly with all its lightness an imbalance in the room. The gallery space is being used after the principles of an art which knows how to adjust parasitically to its environment. More surprising as the calculated, spatial settlement is the second intrusion of the artist.
Thereby, the ambiguity of his works is being thwarted with the means of parody. Three exhibition posters in the entrance area cite a construct which is occupied with strong ideologies. They are showing the artist in the creation process within his studio. This theme is expressed in three poses which show the scantily clad artist working in front of the canvas. The title "Weigert Sinn" is placed in the image surface of all three motives inserting itself smoothly into the narrative of the artist-subject which is moved by inner vigour. Thereby, the artist performs what the inner necessity demands, without accounting for himself or others towards his conduct. And yet a white fine rib pants mark very obviously the spot in which Kippenbergian irony trickles into the image and the artistic myth is being unmasked. By changing from pathos to parody and by taking himself for a ride with a winking Walter shakes off the ideological burden of the grand gesture and satirizes this. The decision whether this approach affects or even increases the formal integrity of the exhibited works leaves the artist thereby very nonchalant to us the spectators.


KFC Popcorn Nuggets are here! $5 Fill Up Boxes!
It is shocking at how bad this KFC is compared to the Elkin location. Worth the drive for what you pay for I guess.
Use to love KFC but, they have really gone downhill. They have completely changed the recipe for slaw and the chicken is not up to the standards it use to have. I don't know what happened.
No doubt that their food is good, but I find it a bit pricey for fast food.
Well...went thru drive - thru...ordered extra crispy wing meal...pay at the window....THEN the girl tells me "it will be 14 minutes on those extra crispy wings, would you liked grilled instead? " If I wanted grilled I would have ordered grilled! She couldn't have told me before she took my debit card? COME ON! Never again!
I have ate their many times. The price is not bad. Food is pretty good. The only worker I have seen,who appears to love her job, and doesn't act like shes dying to get you what you need is a girl that goes by the name on her name tag starts with an Sh and works the buffet.
Love KFC but this one was dirty. Don't get the $5 grill deal. I don't eat much and that didn't even satisfy me.


Muscular Adaptation Programming System. At the end of the day ADAPTATION is what we are after when we embark on a new fitness program. Adaptation is muscle growth, fat loss, greater mobility, athleticism, and ultimately better health and improved aesthetics.
The MAPS approach makes adaptation the sole focus of the programming. Each MAPS program is specifically designed for target forms of adaptation rather than simply working out hard or long. If an exercise or workout doesn't target adaptation then it doesn't appear in MAPS.
MAPS programs are typically phased into mini cycles where you work towards subsets of major goals where each phase is directing you towards the ultimate goal.
Most other fitness programs use intensity as their sole method of getting your body to adapt and change. Harder is better in these programs and, although some of them cause initial change, most people end up sore with little progress past the first few weeks. Although intensity is a powerful tool it's just that, a tool. It should be used judiciously along side other tools like frequency of training, total volume, exercise selection and even intent.
MAPS programs are expertly programmed by three of the industry's top trainers with a combined experience of over 55 years to be the most effective programs on the market. When you follow a MAPS program you can expect faster results with less work. More muscle, faster fat loss and long term perpetual progress...that's the MAPS way.
We have a MAPS program for every type of person. Whether you are brand new to weightlifting, or advanced, there is a program designed to help you reach your goals. When you follow a MAPS online training program you can expect faster results with less work.
Looking for something to add into your current routine to help you achieve your goals? Our NO B.S. 6-Pack Formula, Facebook Forum, and Kettlebells 4 Aesthetics are all great tools to help you in your fitness journey.
The No BS 6-Pack Formula walks you step-by-step through how to build a head-turning 6-pack with abs that stick out.
Whether you are a stay-at-home mom or a fitness addict, there is a bundle for you. Our bundles combine multiple MAPS programs together to use together or in succession. Our bundled options will save you up to 40%.
As you begin your fitness journey, fueling your body correctly should be a top priority.

Bind founders publish data showing nanomed transport ability
The cofounders of Bind Therapeutics ($BIND), which include MIT professor and entrepreneur Robert Langer, published new data for its targeted nanoparticle platform called Accurins, which are designed to carry drugs to specific parts of the body to treat diseases. The paper, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, shows the nanoparticles' ability to cross biological barriers including the intestinal epithelial barrier, the pulmonary epithelial barrier, the blood-brain barrier, the fetal-placental barrier and the blood-ocular barrier. "The current findings are expected to significantly broaden the reach of our platform and present opportunities to non-invasively administer Accurins of large molecular weight drugs, such as proteins and RNA, for a myriad of human diseases," said Bind president and CEO Scott Minick in a statement.

DDS GP Patient Education Application | Kick Your Apps, Inc.
This patient education app is easy for the dentist to use and the patient to understand.
Dr. Bob Marcus developed the DDS GP patient education application for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch in reaction to his frustration with his current attempts at patient education. He found he had little control over video presentations and most other forms of patient education were too static or hard for the patient to understand. Working with developers, Dr. Marcus created an education tool that patients can hold in their hands, is customizable, and easy to understand and use.
We invited 10 current users of DDS GP to participate in an evaluation of the application. They had all used the application long enough to be familiar and comfortable with its use. They rated and commented on such features as ease of use, quality of presentations, value to patients, and the ability to increase case acceptance.
The DDS GP app can be downloaded to any iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch. The price of the download is $399.99, but there is no subscription fee and all updates are free. After the application is added to the device, the user has access to more than 200 unique demonstrations, everything from periodontal disease and palatal expanders to CAD/ CAM onlays and gingivectomy. In addition, users can draw on the screen to elaborate on a demonstration, add their own photos and videos, and email and print for patient convenience.
The DDS GP application was designed to make it easy for dentists to provide patients with a valuable patient education experience so that they understand their diagnosis and treatment options. When asked to rate the value of the DDP GP application to patients, all 10 of the evaluators rated it as excellent.
