Carbon Heel Guard- Left Side - BMW S 1000 RR (from 2015)
The heel guard in carbon for the BMW S 1000 RR Stock-sport/Racing (from 2015) is a direct replacement for the original component and contributes mainly to weight saving on the motorcycle (up to 70% less) and a higher stiffness of the parts. Like all of our carbon fiber parts, it was made according to the latest protocols and industry standards and can be considered to encompass all aspects of current "best of industry" practice. The part is made completely out of pre-preg carbon fiber materials using an autoclave. As with all our carbon parts, we use a clear plastic coating that not only improves the appearance, but also protects the carbon fiber from scratching and has a unique UV resistance.


To be an elite level player at a college or professional sport, you need a degree of exceptional athleticism. And the best medically, scientifically and psychologically recommended way to develop such all around athleticism is ample free play and multiple sport participation as a child.
Or Steve Nash, who got his first basketball at age 13 and credits his soccer background for making him a great basketball player, a similar story to the 100 professional athletes interviewed in Ethan Skolnick and Dr. Andrea Korn's Raising Your Game .
Early sport specialization in female adolescents is associated with increased risk of anterior knee pain disorders including PFP, Osgood Schlatter and Sinding Larsen-Johansson compared to multi-sport athletes, and may lead to higher rates of future ACL tears.
In January 2015, I had the honor of sitting in a lecture with Manchester United Performance Coach Tony Strudwick, winner of 13 titles as the fitness coach for Manchester United's first team. His advice was that a multi-sport background prior to the age of 12 set up soccer players for long-term success by lowering the rates of injuries and making them more adaptable to the demands of elite level play. "More often than not," he stated in a recent interview with SoccerWire.com, "the best athletes in the world are able to distinguish themselves from the pack thanks to a range of motor skills beyond what is typically expected in a given sport." He recommended tumbling and gymnastic movements, as well as martial arts, basketball, and lacrosse as great crossover sports for soccer.
Better Overall Skills and Ability:Research shows that early participation in multiple sports leads to better overall motor and athletic development, longer playing careers, increased ability to transfer sports skills other sports and increased motivation, ownership of the sports experience, and confidence.
Smarter, More Creative Players: Multi-sport participation at the youngest ages yields better decision making and pattern recognition, as well as increased creativity. These are all qualities that coaches of high-level teams look for.
10,000 Hours is not a Rule: In his survey of the scientific literature regarding sport specific practice in The Sports Gene, author David Epstein finds that most elite competitors require far less than 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Specifically, studies have shown that basketball (4000), field hockey (4000) and wrestling (6000) all require far less than 10,000 hours.
No, they are not. They each require specific athletic, technical, and tactical skill sets. Some sports, in order to be elite, require early specialization, such as gymnastics and figure skating.
Other sports are so dependent upon physical prowess (American football, basketball, volleyball, rugby and others) that the technical skills and tactical know how can be developed later. There are many stories of athletes taking up these sports in their teens, even 20's, and playing at a very high level because of the ability to transfer skills learned in one sport to another.
If you want your child to play at a high-level, then the best thing you can do is help them find a sport that best suits their abilities, and help create an environment that gives them the best chance of success.
That environment is a multi-sport one. The evidence is in. It is pretty conclusive.
Is your bottom line worth more than the well-being of the children you have been entrusted with educating?
Thanks to Urban Meyer and the poignant image of his recruiting class breakdown, we now have the opportunity to have this discussion.
We have the opportunity to serve our children better.
We have the responsibility to help them become better athletes by encouraging them to become all-around athletes.
And we can do this by letting them play multiple sports.

Travelling students are usually on a budget. That does not mean they have to starve themselves or hitchhike across Europe or Asia quite literally, on foot. Here are 30 travel tips for students who want to make the most out of their journey without spending too much yet enjoy the learning experience that comes with travelling.
Tip 1: Get information from travel guides. List down your itinerary, the types of transportation in the places you want to go to, foreign exchange rates, etc. Get as much information as you can from travel guides before you buy a plane ticket or book a hotel reservation.
Tip 2: If you are travelling to a place where English is not commonly spoken, turn your Android mobile phone into an instant translator without spending at all by downloading a free Android application for 50 or so languages (download the application before you leave). Google Translate will not cost you a shilling and you can access the application offline.
Tip 3: Turning up earlier than the scheduled time will bolster your chances of getting a prime seat on a budget flight which does not have assigned seats.
Tip 4: Purchase travel accessories such as eye masks, travel pillows, and adaptor plugs from pound shops before your date of departure. This will save you money and avoid last-minute shopping for items sold at airports with astronomical prices.
Tip 5: Avoid splurging on food and snacks which are priced sky-high and sold at airports. While liquids are automatically banned by airport security, food is not, so plan on what snacks or food you may want to eat at a later time.
Tip 6: Stowing luggage in the airplane hold will cost you a hefty sum. Maximise the free hand luggage allowance of 10kg which most airlines give by weighing everything you intend to bring to be sure of each item's weight for subtraction or addition to your overall luggage weight.
Tip 7: To help minimise the weight that may be considered excess, wear the heaviest outfit and footwear that you would have packed in your luggage, put any heavy gear or gadget in the pockets of your clothes, and stash your coat or jacket under the seat when you are on the plane.
Tip 8: Turn off your mobile phone service to avoid unnecessary shock charges.
Tip 9: Timing matters when you book your flight, meaning, a late booking will be less expensive but it will mean limited or no choice as to seats.
Tip 10: If you are asked by shops or banks whether you will be paying in euros or pounds, always say euros because your card will do the exchange rate conversion.
Tip 11: Make your own personal travel-size shampoo, cream, etc. by filling small empty containers from your regular toiletries, instead of spending for miniature bottled or packaged toiletries which tend to cost a small fortune.
Tip 12: If you have leftover mini-sized toiletry products from your previous stays in hotels, now is the time to use them.
Tip 13: Ensure the validity of your passport before you actually book a flight. Renewing your passport ahead of its expiry date saves you the time and the cash for renewal at such short notice.
Tip 14: If you plan to drive while you are overseas, check if your licence is still valid. Note that while the UK driving licence is recognised by EU member countries, a trip further might require you to have an IDP or International Driving Permit.
Tip 15: Booking for car hire when you can use public transport, taxis or bring your own vehicle is practical. If you're bringing your own car, check if your insurance coverage extends to full protection in Europe or wherever you are travelling.
Tip 16: Get a cheap overseas "specialist" card that will not add 3% to the current exchange rates issued by banks. Remember to always pay in full to avoid the interest.
Tip 17: Look into bargains on hotels at lastminute.com so you can be aware of the star rating and description before you actually book.
Tip 18: There are many cheap lodging places that are clean and accessible to tourist attractions, hospitals, entertainment venues, etc. Search the internet for those that you can stay in without breaking your wallet.
Tip 19: If you already know where and when to go as per scheduled airlines, check out sites such as Kayak, TravelSupermarket, and Skyscanner for the cheapest airline tickets.
Tip 20: Get cheap student travel insurance immediately after you book your flight and hotel accommodation because you will not be covered for changes or cancellation if you don't. Remember also that if you travel overseas more than twice a year, an annual cheap travel insurance policy will be practical.
I'm Julia and I'm very fond of travelling as well as photography. I`m very active and communicative person who adores making new friends around the globe. Being also a traveller writer, I'm trying to describe the most incredible travelling experiences in my stories.

Everett's anti-camping law criminalizes homelessness
By Jay Willis
Friday, February 5, 2016 4:12pm
OpinionCommentaryEverett
How should the Pacific Northwest's rapidly-growing communities respond to rising levels of homelessness, inequality and poverty?
They certainly have options available: They can fund more shelter beds, or sponsor resume workshops and job fairs, or push for mixed-income housing in new construction, ensuring that a city's exciting new growth benefits all residents. But lawmakers in some communities, apparently convinced that taking on these issues is too burdensome a task, have opted for a fourth approach: criminalizing the poor and homeless.
Everett is one of several Washington cities, including Aberdeen, Arlington and Burlington, that enforce ordinances prohibiting "unlawful camping." Such laws waste municipal resources, exacerbate the cycle of poverty and fail to do anything to stem the tide of homelessness. In response to a court challenge, Judge Timothy Odell of the Everett Municipal Court recently issued perhaps the strongest condemnation yet of this unfair, misguided policy. It is time for Everett and cities like it to repeal these laws and find ways to meaningfully help their homeless residents.
In effect, unlawful camping applies to public property the laws that prohibit trespass on private property. Everett Municipal Code 8.56.010 makes it illegal to use tents, tarps, sleeping bags and blankets in places like parks, streets or vacant lots. If you go to sleep, and you have no roof over your head, Everett considers you a criminal.
The ordinance might be sound policy if it were used to gently encourage shelter usage, or incentivize use of drug treatment programs, or deter sleeping in city streets or other dangerous areas. But Everett's burgeoning homeless population has far outpaced the capacity of available facilities. Of Everett's three shelters, only one, the Everett Gospel Mission, serves single men without children. High demand for the mission's beds has forced it to hold lotteries for space, and on many nights, dozens of hopeful entrants are turned away with nowhere to go. The law allows police to sweep through public streets and parks and haul these bewildered, exhausted people off to jail.
Because unlawful camping charges are nearly impossible to beat, these cases swamp court dockets and compromise the time of Everett's hardworking judges, district attorneys, public defenders, and other court personnel. And substantial penalties exacerbate the challenges that the homeless already face. Each offense is a misdemeanor that can mean jail time or a fine of up to $1,000. By saddling homeless residents with a criminal record and debt they cannot repay, Everett makes it even more difficult for them to find work, secure housing, and get back on their feet.
Some policymakers have taken note of this ordinance's fundamental unfairness. Last August, the federal Department of Justice weighed in on a court challenge in Boise, Idaho, opining that this "poor public policy" amounts to cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. In response, the Vancouver (Wash.) City Council voted unanimously in September to repeal its ordinance. And on Jan. 12, Judge Odell, sharply criticizing the "grossly inadequate" facilities available to Everett's homeless residents, held that the law criminalizes the basic human rights to travel and to sleep and is therefore unconstitutional.
Everett Gospel Mission is in the heart of downtown, and City Council must be feeling pressure from business owners to "do something" about the area's homeless population. But as officials decide whether to appeal Judge Odell's decision, they should consider their duty to protect the welfare of all residents, not only those with means. It is lazy governance to shut one's eyes, close one's ears, and try to criminalize the homeless out of existence. Lawmakers should repeal these ordinances and re-focus their efforts on implementing more substantive, compassionate and considered policy interventions to address this pressing issue.

Q: Mocking a Set matcher in RSpec I have a library that checks if the object is an instance of a class by using the following expression
ClassName === object
Is there any way to write a double that can mock this such that the expression above(where my double would replace the object in expression) returns true

A: Although ClassName === object is equivalent to object.kind_of?(ClassName), Ruby checks the object's class without calling any of object's methods. This means object can't do anything in this situation to be recognized as a ClassName instance, unless of course it actually is an instance of ClassName (or one of its subclasses / included modules).
However, ClassName === object is nonetheless a method call. So what you can do is stubbing the === method on ClassName:
allow(ClassName).to receive(:===).with(object).and_return(true)

The above even works for:
case object
when ClassName
  # ...
end

which simply invokes ClassName === object.

What a great time we had that week when we hosted Eva and Oli, Heike, Nelly, Sharon and Sofia! There is so much to document, you can find it on Eva's site at http://evawal.blogspot.com/2018/ – but it will surely be recorded on this site too – as soon as possible!
We have now had our first meetings of 2019 in Oxford and in Bonn, where our friends are already planning our next visit in June.
Eva & Friends are nearly here: they arrive on Sunday 21st October!
Oxford Stanza 2 is doing a National Poetry Day event – though it's taking place on Sunday 7th October – I hope that still counts!. It's a special poetry reading at the Abingdon Arms, the very welcoming community pub at Beckley, on Sunday, 7 October, 6.30 to 8.30 pm, on the theme of 'Change'. There'll be poems about 'Change', Oxfordshire poet Joe Butler will be our guest, and there will be an open mic session. The open mic, shared with people from the Otmoor villages, will be sign-up-on-the-night.
The Abingdon Arms is a community pub in the village of Beckley, looking out over Otmoor, with which Oxford Stanza 2, with the encouragement of Mike Hobbs and the community owners, the Beckley and Area Community Benefit Society Limited (BACBS), is developing a poetry partnership. We held an initial, very successful reading in the Abingdon Arms in June. It's an encouraging example of 'Change', which we are finding very inspiring. Current plans include an international Armistice Day Centenary Reading for Peace, Peace Poetry to be held in Beckley on 11th November, in partnership with the charity Peace Direct https://www.peacedirect.org/.
It was a special journey this time, inspired by three works by the photographer and installation artist Werner Klotz at the Bahnhof Rolandseck Museum (the Arp Museum), which all refer to the Greek God Dionysus: Travel Bar of Dionysus (1996-2014), From the collection of Dionysus (1993-2014) and Dionysus' Supreme Selection (1997-2014). They feature glass which has been processed in some way, whether by being assembled, placed in a vitrine or having been gilded or smashed.
Ironically, the three works, with their glasses, bottles and fragments, can be seen in the ballroom and staircase to the café of the former station. Glass fragments have been read as oracles. Glass, known to the Egyptians, is more than three thousand years old. The oldest formula for glass was handed down by an Assyrian king in 650 BC: "…take 60 parts sand, 180 parts ash from marine plants, 5 parts chalk and you will get glass…" Of course, you also need an oven capable of reaching 1,400 degrees centigrade.
A selection of relevant objects and travel mementoes were on display in the museum library to prompt writing. In a full hour, fairy tales, short stories and poems appeared: whether short or lengthy, witty, tragic, eerie or thoughtful. To hear a freshly written text being read is always an amazing and moving experience.
Oxford Stanza 2 met "Dada war alles gut"!
In August we – Afam (in spirit), Bill, Louise, Inge, Shukria (also in spirit), Stella Andrew & Pat – enjoyed a wonderful visit to Bonn, to help celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Oxford-Bonn link, to open Diana Bell's participatory art project, "Das Grosse Fragezeichen" together with Eva Wal and her poetry group "Dada war alles gut" at an open air reading in both English and German on St Remigius Platz, Bonn, on Saturday 26th August. On the following Tuesday, both groups joined together at a writing workshop led by Eva at the Arp Museum, Bahnhof Rolandseck, an inspiring setting indeed, as new poetry in English and German is still emerging. We will be considering it at our next monthly meeting on Monday 2nd October, because we are delighted that Eva and the other poets of her group, Elisabeth, Heike, Maria, Nelly and Sharon are now members of this Stanza! Willkommen!
We ended our visit to Bonn in suitable style with a very happy reading presented by Eva at Jacques Weindepot on the evening of Wednesday 30th August, thanks to our hosts Ingeborg Brenne Markner and Dr Thomas Kaut of KULI/LiteraturAusschank.
Long term plans are beginning to arrange a visit to Oxford for our Bonn members! Hoch!

Guqin Tai (古琴台) locates on the west of Gui Shan (龟山), and the south of Yue Hu (月湖). It's only a small place, but it never failed to attract visitors from all over the country. For most people, going there is mainly for a story of thousands of years ago.
Guqin is a kind of Chinese music instrument, and Guqin Tai is often translated as "Heptachord Terrace". The story was originally recorded in the book of Lie zi.
"Bo Ya was good at playing the qin. Zhong Ziqi was good at to listening to the qin. When Bo Ya's will was towards high mountains in his playing, Zhong Ziqi would say, 'How towering like Mount Tai!' When Bo Ya's will was towards flowing water in his playing, Zhong Ziqi would say, 'How vast are the rivers and oceans!' Whatever Bo Ya thought of Ziqi would never fail to understand. Bo Ya said, 'Amazing! Your heart and mines are the same!' When Ziqi died, Bo Ya broke the strings [of his qin] and vowed never to play [the qin] again. Thus, there was the melody of High Mountains Flowing Water."
Guqin Tai was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and then experienced destruction and reconstruction for many times. What we can see now was built after 1949.
This story shows China's traditional attitude towards friendship that friends should know each other by heart and there's a tacit mutual understanding between each other. But that kind of friendship is always a rare thing.
The people of Hubei are called "nine-headed birds (九头鸟)" by other Chinese people, with the saying of "天上九头鸟,地上湖北佬。"which, in wikipedia, is translated as "In the sky live nine-headed birds. On the earth live cunning Hubei people." (See Hubei in Wikipedia.) But the Chinese sentence does not have any word that means "cunning". So the emotion of this sentence is rather vague. It can be both complimentary and derogatory.
On the positive side, the nine-headed bird stands for aggressive, acumen and competent, and on the other side, it has the sense of cunning. Some Chinese use "nine-headed birds" to show their dissatisfaction to Hubeiness, however, some Hubeiness are very proud to call themselves that name.
The character of Hubei people is thought to be the outcome of Hubei's geographical position. Hubei is called "The Thoroughfare to Nine Provinces (九省通衢)", and here gathers people from all over the country. Wuhan used to be a center of politics and commerce of China half a century ago. And the city character is shaped by the flourishing small business.
P.S. Blogspot is unblocked in China. Bingo!
In just a few years, this day becomes a hot festival in China, especially in campus. In the Chinese language, a single man is called "光棍", which literally means "bare stick", and the Arabic number "1" is very much like a bare stick in shape. As 11.11 has 4 "bare sticks", the day becomes single guys' day.
In this day, single guys would like to eat out together, and some guys are encouraged to say "I love you" to girls of there hearts. Now this is not a day just for guys, sometimes single girls would also do some thing for fun.
This day has no traditions. It's a day of youth, a day for students.
Sorry for yesterday's mistake. I've deleted the wrong post. It's really annoying to use proxy!
And I'm preparing for some exams, so my updating is slowed.
Blogspot.com is now blocked by the most notorious GFW that it can't be directly visited from the mainland of China. But I do not have the plan of moving my blog to another place. As the violation of the rights of netizens are becoming increasingly severe, Chinese netizens should learn to use proxy software to anti-block.
But all pictures will be missing.
Hope pkblogs won't be blocked by GFW someday.
Today I'd like to write something about snack restaurants. Dianping is a website where netizens give marks on restaurants, and here is the Wuhan page. I can find something interesting there.
Here are some general comments on the most famous snack restaurants (So-called Time-Honored Brands).
Many people from other places would like to go to cai lin ji to have a bowl of re gan mian "for the sake of the old brand". But "the taste is getting worse", some branches are "no better than carts along the streets". And ironically the dou pi and dishes are "not bad".
One of Wuhan's most famous snack restaurants where used to full of "attracting smell of meat". Now the restaurant is still there, but the tang bao is different, "blemishing the name of such an old brand". You can't tell "whether it's the degeneration of si ji mei or ourselves becoming pickier".
Dou pi and soup of lotus root and chops are not good in appearance, but the taste is good.
From these comments, we can see the downfall of those time-honored brands. I once read an article about the phenomenon. The author said that he loved those foods when he was a child, but as time goes by, they can no longer attract him, for we are living in a time of fast-changing, but those foods still remain the mark of the time of shortage: large size, too greasy, fitting those who often have the feeling of hunger.
There are some other restaurants that are popular today.
"Noodles are thicker than normal", pasts are "pure and good-smelling", and " a little bit sweet", unlike those re gan mian in streets that the flavor of which is thickened only by salt water and soybean paste. The environment "is not good" and you "can't find a seat" but the "business is very hot".
And hu bu xiang (户部巷) is a well-liked restaurant where all kinds of typical local foods are supplied.
So if you ask me where you can find the most genuine local snacks, I can hardly give you an answer. Maybe it depends on your fortune. And if you find something delicious here, enjoy it!
If you refer to a dictionary, ma mu(麻木) means numbness, torpor, stupor, and something like that. But strangely enough, Wuhaness use this word to call "tricycles for hire". Tens of thousands of ma mu used to be a distinctive feature of the city. But in the year of 2003, all these ma mu disappeared.
There are some tales about how the name "ma mu" came out. A relative credible one is that early rickshaw drivers (more than half a century ago) loved to drink, and often got "ma mu", so both the vehicles and the drivers were called "ma mu". This word once disappeared with the extinction of rickshaws, but revived about 20 years ago as tricycles emerged in the city in the late 1980s. And because of cheap fare and the very convenience, the number of ma mu increased swiftly in the 1990s.
There were two types of ma mu in Wuhan: the engine-powered auto rickshaw (dian ma mu 电麻木) and the man-powered pedicab (tu ma mu 土麻木).
Usually, ma mu drivers were either laid-off workers or city immigrants from rural places. The job could never be easy. Wuhan climate often go extremes: the temperature can be higher than 40C in summer and lower than 0C in winter. The drivers had to work in streets all day long, only to earn a basic living.
Most ma mu drivers were not well-educated and do not quite follow traffic rules, (in fact, large numbers of Wuhaness do not quite follow traffic rules), and many of them couldn't afford, or for some, were not willing, to pay for a license, and had to play the game of hide and seek with traffic cops.
The government always wanted those numerous ma mu to be regulated. Though new documents for regulating ma mu came out almost every year, the effect was little. In 2003, the government finally resolved to completely ban ma mu. All ma mu must be handed in by a deadline, with some compensation in return. Only those with disabilities could own tricycles, and business not permitted. The flag-fall price of taxis was lowered to 3 yuan, so that taking a taxi in a short distance became much cheaper.
Just in a few weeks, not a single ma mu could be found in streets. "Ma mu" once again became a word in history.

Breaking down procurement barriers for small businesses
The European Commission (the Commission) has released for consultation its latest proposals for a European "Small Businesses Act" which it hopes will enable small and medium sized enterprises achieve their full potential.
SMEs have been afforded particular attention in the European arena following their incorporation in the Lisbon Partnership for Growth through the 2005 EU SME policy. A number of measures have since been introduced in order to improve SME access to the resources vital for their development, including streamlining the process for company registration with the introduction of a "one-stop-shop" process.
Despite these developments, in 2007 the Commission acknowledged the need to take these measures a step further and intensify the current focus on small businesses. As a part of this, the concept of a Small Businesses Act, which aims to set principles and concrete measures to improve the framework conditions for European SMEs, while taking full account of their diversity, was welcomed by the European Council in December.
On 1 February 2008, the Commission launched a consultation on the content of such a Small Businesses Act which focuses on six main areas:
Better regulation for the benefit of SMEs;
Putting SMEs at the forefront of society;
SMEs access to markets;
SMEs access to finance, skills and innovation;
Turning the environmental challenge into opportunities for SMEs; and
Enhancing the implementation of EU SME policy principles.
However, the Commission has stressed that this is just a starting point which will allow any ancillary issues to come to the surface. Most notably, the Commission hopes that this new legislation will enhance access to public procurement for SMEs and will remove any unnecessary regulatory burdens. The proposals for the Act have been likened to the American model, which ensures that a 23% share of public procurement contracts is reserved for SMEs.
Paper tiger?
UEAPME, the European SME organisation, has been particularly dismissive of the proposals, claiming that they are a mere "paper tiger" which will have no material effect on businesses and have instead demanded a "solid, legally binding document". However, EU Commissioner for Enterprise and Industry, Günter Verheugen, has responded by insisting that, while the promotion of SMEs is at the forefront of EU policy, the implementation of the policies should be reserved for national authorities. Following on from the Public Hearing, which took place at the beginning of February, the Commission hopes to propose the Small Businesses Act in June later this year.

Q: Hospedagem para node.js Bom dia,
tenho 2 aplicações node.js com mongo, e precisava hospeda-las no mesmo lugar, uma aplicação gerencia a outra, utilizam o mesmo banco.
É possível coloca-las na mesma hospedagem, acessando uma aplicação pelo domínio adquirido, e a outra aplicação Admin, acessando tipo /admin?

A: Eu sei de duas formas:
1-) Primeira Forma:
Você poderia pegar uma máquina na AWS, Azure ou Digital Ocean e instalar as duas aplicações nela e o mongodb também.
Nesse vídeo o cara explica como fazer o deploy de uma aplicação nodejs, com SSL gratuito e explica algumas partes de segurança do servidor também:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR06NoSzAXY
Para fazer a questão do /admin redirecionar para outro app, é só ver as regras do nginx para redirecionar para a outra aplicação.
Usando esse vídeo eu fiz o deploy de uma aplicação Nodejs+mongo na AWS e funcionou bem.
2-) Segunda Forma:
Você pode usar share hosting, que é a hospedagem compartilhada muito usada para sites pequenos em PHP, tem  uma resposta em inglês que explica como fazer:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24777750/how-to-host-a-node-js-application-in-shared-hosting
O autor da melhor resposta criou um projeto chamado node.php no github, talvez seja interessante dar uma olhada no projeto e talvez até o mongodb vc consiga instalar dessa forma.
Eu nunca usei o nodejs dessa forma(share hosting), eu usei uma máquina no free tier da AWS e me atendeu para um projeto especifico, na digital ocean vc gasta 5$ e tem um ou dois meses grátis e na AWS vc tem um ano grátis.
Cabe a você avaliar a necessidade da aplicação, como o número de usuários, requisições no banco de dados e outras coisas, porque AWS é caro, a máquina do free tier depois de um ano são cobrados 20$ ao mês, na digital ocean são 5$, mas acho que é uma máquina mais modesta e você tem que considerar que são os dois app + um banco, talvez seja interessante pegar uma máquina só para o banco de dados.
Edit:
A umbler tem um preço bem legal pra começar(6 REAIS por aplicação no pacote mais básico deles o PP) também e eles tem hospedagem nodejs+mongodb, compensa vc da uma olhada tb.
