Preview: Jazz Herstory presents…Nérija @ Poplar Union (London, 18th January 2018)
Every now and then, it happens that we chance upon shows that we can't do otherwise but bless with support. The most recent case is a brand new music series debuting on Thursday the 18th of January at Poplar Union.
Jazz Herstory aims to give you a new perspective on the dynamic London jazz music scene: a perspective entirely depicting, and depicted by, women.
The series of events – happening on a monthly basis in the East End venue – doesn't just have an intriguing line-up, hosting some of the most up-and-coming names in the scene, but it also advocates a noble cause, giving more space and exposure, and aiming to: "bring women from the background to a balanced foreground in jazz".
The series couldn't debut in a better way, because its first appointment will host on its stage Nérija, a band that can count on no fewer than seven remarkable musicians who are all enriching the British capital sound by broadening its jazz borders, and embracing far-reaching influences (from South African township music to London grime and US hip-hop).
Despite having only released an EP, Nérija have already built a solid reputation in the UK thanks to their spellbinding performances at major festivals and venues. The new album is only a few months away, so their Poplar Union show will be a not-to-be-missed occasion to approach their sound and catch an early preview of their music to come.
Review: Nerija + Theon Cross Trio & Tom Skinner @ The Pickle Factory (London, 2nd April 2017)

Gunna's Wunna Album Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
Prince Williams, Getty Images
Gunna has earned his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart.
On Sunday (May 31), Billboard released the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart and the YSL rapper's new Wunna album has landed in the top spot. The latest album from the Atlanta rapper moved 111,000 equivalent album units. Of that tally, 4,000 came from traditional album sales.
This mark's Gunna's first time reaching the peak and his third top five debut. 2019's Drip of Drown 2 debuted at No. 3, while his Drip Harder collab with Lil Baby in 2018 premiered at No. 4.
The new No. 1 is even more impressive considering Gunna was not able to properly promote the album due to the coronavirus. Gunna recently spoke with XXL about the pitfalls of putting out an LP during a pandemic.
"I didn't get to do no press for my release," Gunna said. "I come with a whole, you know what I am saying? I ain't just putting out no music, I ain't just putting out no song, I ain't just putting out no album. You gon' meet me at the club for a release."
In the end, the results are what the "Skybox" rapper was hoping for.
Other hip-hop artists in this week's Billboard 200 top 10 include Lil Baby (My Turn, No. 2), Future (High Off Life, No. 3), Polo G (The Goat, No. 5), Drake (Dark Lane Demo Tapes, No. 6), DaBaby (Blame It on Baby, No. 7), The Weeknd (After Hours, No. 8) Lil Uzi Vert (Eternal Atake, No. 9) and Post Malone (Hollywood's Bleeding, No. 10).

On May 5, the Joining Forces initiative — a nationwide effort calling on all Americans to rally around service members, veterans, and their families — announced that 40 companies have pledged to hire more than 110,000 veterans and military spouses in the next five years.
"They always have our backs, and they need to know that all of us have theirs," said Dr. Jill Biden, who along with first lady Michelle Obama, launched Joining Forces back in 2011.
More than 1.2 million veterans and spouses have found jobs through the Joining Forces initiative. The companies range from tech startups to some of the largest manufacturers in the world, and represent careers in telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing and aerospace.
Hirepurpose is proud to partner with 11 of those companies that pledged to hire and train veterans and their families on May 5. Check out those companies below.

Navy Lt. Jonny Kim went viral last week when NASA announced that he and 10 other candidates (including six other service members) became the newest members of the agency's hallowed astronaut corps. A decorated Navy SEAL and graduate of Harvard Medical School, Kim in particular seems to have a penchant for achieving people's childhood dreams.
However, Kim shared with Task & Purpose that his motivation for living life the way he has stems not so much from starry-eyed ambition, but from the pain and loss he suffered both on the battlefields of Iraq and from childhood instability while growing up in Los Angeles. Kim tells his story in the following Q&A, which was lightly edited for length and clarity:

You can almost smell the gunpowder in the scene captured by a Marine photographer over the weekend, showing a Marine grunt firing a shotgun during non-lethal weapons training.
A Marine grunt stationed in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina is being considered for an award after he saved the lives of three people earlier this month from a fiery car crash.
Cpl. Scott McDonell, an infantry assaultman with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, was driving down Market Street in Wilmington in the early morning hours of Jan. 11 when he saw a car on fire after it had crashed into a tree. Inside were three victims aged 17, 20, and 20.
"It was a pretty mangled wreck," McDonell told ABC 15. "The passenger was hanging out of the window."

Todd Robinson's upcoming Vietnam War drama, The Last Full Measure, is a story of two battles: One takes place during an ambush in the jungles of Vietnam in 1966, while the other unfolds more than three decades later as the survivors fight to see one pararescueman's valor posthumously recognized.

With ISIS trying to reorganize itself into an insurgency, most attacks on U.S. and allied forces in Iraq are being carried out by Shiite militias, said Air Force Maj. Gen. Alex Grynkewich, the deputy commander for operations and intelligence for U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria.
"In the time that I have been in Iraq, we've taken a couple of casualties from ISIS fighting on the ground, but most of the attacks have come from those Shia militia groups, who are launching rockets at our bases and frankly just trying to kill someone to make a point," Grynkewich said Wednesday at an event hosted by the Air Force Association's Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.

Top Influencer Marketing Platforms to Keep an Eye On in 2019
object(WP_Post)#2639 (24) { ["ID"]=> int(12027) ["post_author"]=> string(1) "2" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2019-02-20 14:48:40" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2019-02-20 14:48:40" ["post_content"]=> string(34146) "One of the earliest problems faced by businesses wanting to engage in influencer marketing was finding suitable influencers with whom to work. Brands first had to find influencers. They then had to slowly build a relationship with the selected influencers, in the hope that they could eventually formalize the process. While this is a truly organic and authentic way to find influencers, it can be a slow process, particularly if your chosen influencers have no wish to participate in influencer marketing. Influencer marketing platforms were born as a way to streamline the influencer discovery phase and speed up the entire process. The first influencer marketing platforms focused on influencer discovery. Some asked influencers to apply to join their platform, vetting whether they were influential or not. Other platforms use a more algorithmic process, building vast databases of influencers from available social data. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and data mining have become more important in establishing influencer lists. The third type of influencer platform uses a hybrid of the first two approaches. While these encourage influencers to apply to feature in their databases, and in some case, allow brands to suggest suitable influencers, they also use a complex algorithm to discover any other influencers potentially missed by a self-selection process. The number of influencer marketing platforms has significantly increased over the last year. As we show in our Influencer Marketing Benchmark Report 2019, 320 new platforms and influencer focused agencies, have opened in the last 12 months, bringing it up to 740 influencer agencies and platforms at the end of 2018. Influencer marketing platforms have also widened the range of tools they offer their clients. Influencer discovery is just one tool, and indeed not all influencer platforms now offer influencer discovery. Some of the additional tools provided by the platforms include:
Influencer marketplace
Third party analytics
Influencer content amplification
Here are some of the top influencer marketing platforms that we believe are worth watching in 2019. Note that the Influencer Marketing Hub has carried our extensive reviews on most of the platforms listed. The links to those platforms lead to relevant reviews.
2019's Top Influencer Marketing Platforms to Keep an Eye On:
AspireIQ
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Relationship Management, Campaign Management, Influencer Marketplace Social Networks Catered For: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Blogs Pricing Tiers: Basic (1 user, 1 active campaign) / Pro (4 users and 4 active campaigns) / Enterprise (unlimited users and 10 active campaigns). Customized pricing. AspireIQ was formerly known as Revfluence (and that is the term we have used in previous influencer marketing platform posts on the Influencer Marketing Hub). AspireIQ offers tools to help with virtually all stages of an influencer campaign. It began as an influencer discovery platform but has added other tools over time. It was one of the first platforms to add robust influencer and campaign management tools. An influencer needs to have an account on the platform to be able to participate in campaigns; however, the database of influencers isn't restricted to those who've opted in. The influencer discovery software uses an algorithm to crawl through a massive amount of social data to find suitable influencer suggestions for campaigns. A more recent focus of AspireIQ has been on retaining successful influencers. They recognize the current trend towards building lasting, meaningful influencer relationships. You can quickly identify high performing influencers, and AspireIQ provides you with tools to nurture these relationships. It even includes a recommendation engine that suggests similar types of influencers, once you have found successful influencers.
Upfluence
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Campaign Management Social Networks Catered For: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Blogs Pricing Tiers: Startup - $795/mo. (1 user, 500 influencers emailed, 1 social listening stream) / Small Business - $995/mo. (1 user, 750 influencers emailed, 3 social listening streams) / Professional - $1,750/mo. (3 users, 2,000 influencers emailed, 3 social listening streams) / Enterprise - $3,500/mo. (10 users, 5,000 influencers emailed, 25 social listening streams) Upfluence grew out of two products – Façade, an influencer search engine, and Publishr, an influencer management system, and content marketplace. The company evaluated its software and decided to close Publishr down, rebranding the discovery search engine as Upfluence. Over time, they have migrated the best management features over from Publishr and added social listening features, resulting in an all-in-one influencer experience. The Upfluence database is massive, including over one million influencers. Their algorithm updates all of this data in real-time. They analyze every item of content posted for reach and engagement. You can search through the Upfluence database in multiple ways, drilling down in detail. You can place relative weights on your keywords, to help further narrow down your results.
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery Social Networks Catered For: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest Pricing Tiers: Pro (1 user, 6 lists, 20 profiles per list) / Platinum (2 users, 6 lists per user, 30 profiles per list) / Enterprise (4 users, 12 lists per user, 50 profiles per list). Customized pricing. HYPR was one of the first platforms to realize the importance of data to influencer discovery. We stress multiple times on the Influencer Marketing Hub, the importance of selecting influencers whose followers match your target market. That can be tricky; however, HYPR makes it easier to find influencers with the right followers for your business. HYPR's database includes more than 10 million influencers. The system uses complex algorithms to analyze social media messages to help it offer relevant influencer suggestions. Unlike many of the platforms here, HYPR has restricted its features to providing data for influencer discovery. It has resisted trying to become the Swiss Army Knife of influencer platforms and found its clear niche. HYPR is very much a tool for searching and analyzing influencers. It does also collect data on live campaigns now, however.
Tagger Media
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Campaign Management, Influencer Marketplace, Third Party Analytics Social Networks Catered For: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube Pricing Tiers: Contact Tagger Media for pricing information Tagger Media provides a range of tools to help brands through the influencer marketing process. It features an opt-in database of over one million influencers. It actually began in 2015 as a music recommendation engine. It tracked social conversations and analyzed fan preferences to come up with relevant music suggestions. It was not long, however, before Tagger Media realized that their algorithms could be of more use recommending potential influencers to brand clients. The platform has far more features than just an influencer discovery engine, however. It includes most of the features of an influencer marketplace. Once you have found the influencers you wish to work with you can create campaigns for them within the platform. Indeed, you may opt to create your campaign first, then use the discovery engine, and then invite your preferred influencers to work with you. The best feature of Tagger Media, however, is its focus on psychographics. The influencer discovery engine includes social listening. This analyzes what people are talking about, as well as concrete things like their interests. Their Affinity Engine can dissect audience interests and note where they overlap.
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Campaign Management, Third Party Analytics Social Networks Catered For: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitch Pricing Tiers: Customized, but an annual fee contingent on the number of users you want to give access to the software. Julius began life in 2012 as a platform named Thuzio. Before long, Thuzio became a type of web-based talent agency for current and former athletes. Before too long, the platform had moved into influencer discovery and had an easier-to-pronounce name, Julius. More recently, they have expanded their offerings, and are now a full-fledged self-service marketing suite. Julius works with a database of more than 120,000 influencers. Although Julius uses AI and algorithms to come up with suggested influencers, it does not recommend anybody before they have first had their data vetted by humans, who can also flesh out their profile. Julius includes a detailed data search engine, with more than 50 different criteria for narrowing a search—covering demo- and psychographic data. You can easily make shared lists with your team. Julius includes an excellent comparison feature. You can compare up to five influencers at a time, across a range of data features. This makes it particularly easy to see how influencers stack against one another. Once your campaign is underway, you can easily find anything you want to know about your campaign. It provides in-depth reports, with clear visualizations.
NeoReach
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Campaign Management Social Networks Catered For: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat Pricing Tiers: Customized pricing. NeoReach mines the web for social data, that it indexes and makes available for searches on its platform. Its programmers developed an algorithm that mines the internet for social data, discovering influencers, rather than letting influencers opt-in themselves. It now has over 3 million influencers in its database. NeoReach recognizes the importance of data. Influencer searches begin with a keyword. NeoReach searches through its database of users and their posts to discover a march for your selected keyword. You can then refine your searches by factors such as conversation topic, social channel, social metrics per channel, audience demographics, and audience psychographics. In addition to searches you may make as a user, NeoReach offers additional recommendations, using AI. The more you use NeoReach, the better its influencer recommendations will be. NeoReach also includes a full set of campaign management tools. It acts as a centralized communications hub between you and your influencers. It continues its emphasis on data in the reports it gives its clients. One particularly useful statistic is NeoReach's own Influencer Media Value (IMV), which is its adaptation of the more traditional Earned Media Value (EMV).
Lumanu
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Content Amplification Social Networks Catered For: Facebook, Instagram Pricing Tiers: Customized pricing – a flat monthly access fee. Agencies are billed per client along the same lines. Lumanu is different from many of the other platforms covered here. They provide a different tool to most of the platform opposition. Their strength is influencer content amplification. Paul Johnson and Tony Tran founded Lumanu in 2016. They had noticed that many firms operated both influencer marketing and paid advertising in the same market – effectively competing with themselves. They had both marketers creating content for the ads, and influencers making their own content to compete with the paid ads. This seemed like duplication to Johnson and Tran. They felt it made far more sense to reuse the quality content created by influencers for a campaign in future paid advertising campaigns. Lumanu doesn't try to compete with the other platforms, by offering overlapping services such as influencer discovery and management. It focuses solely on repurposing influencer marketing content for paid ads and works alongside the other platforms. You begin by adding your influencers into Lumanu. They then contact your influencers, asking them to authorize using their data (for your account only). Lumanu then invites them to join your network, so that Lumanu can access all of their post data. Lumanu can then establish which of your influencers' content performs most successfully. They then recommend to you in their Content Manager the best content items for you to boost as paid ads.
Open Influence
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Campaign Management, Third Party Analytics Social Networks Catered For: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Snapchat, Blogs Pricing Tiers: Basic - $50/mo. (50 searches /mo., 20 results/search, limited search filters, 1 list of 10 influencers) / Pro - $100/mo. (150 searches /mo., 50 results/search, limited search filters, 2 lists of 25 influencers) / Premium - $500/mo. (500 searches /mo., 1,500 results/search, better search filters, 4 lists of 25 influencers) / Enterprise - custom pricing (unlimited searches, results/search, and lists. Other campaign management tools) Open Influence began life as InstaBrand, and grew out of a completely different product – a "fashion sales aggregation thingy." Although it may have started as fashion-focused, Open Influence ended up as an influencer platform, for brands in any industry. Although there are two comparatively cheap small business plans, they have little real practical value. Most businesses will need to have at least a Premium plan to make use of Open Influence. The critical point of difference with Open Influence is its focus on images. It includes advanced image recognition technology. This makes it easier to find influencers who share pictures of any topic that interests you. Open Influence's AI labels the content directly and accurately. It includes an intelligent algorithm that means it can almost "understand" what an image shows. This is particularly useful for finding people whose style and audience fit the image of your brand. You can also use audience demographics and psychographics to refine your search. One unusual feature of Open Influence is its Mood Board, which gives you an indication of what you campaign will ultimately look like, based on influencers' past posts.

Influencer Marketing Last Updated: February 20th, 2019 Reading Time: 15 minutes
One of the earliest problems faced by businesses wanting to engage in influencer marketing was finding suitable influencers with whom to work. Brands first had to find influencers. They then had to slowly build a relationship with the selected influencers, in the hope that they could eventually formalize the process. While this is a truly organic and authentic way to find influencers, it can be a slow process, particularly if your chosen influencers have no wish to participate in influencer marketing. Influencer marketing platforms were born as a way to streamline the influencer discovery phase and speed up the entire process.
The first influencer marketing platforms focused on influencer discovery. Some asked influencers to apply to join their platform, vetting whether they were influential or not. Other platforms use a more algorithmic process, building vast databases of influencers from available social data. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and data mining have become more important in establishing influencer lists.
The third type of influencer platform uses a hybrid of the first two approaches. While these encourage influencers to apply to feature in their databases, and in some case, allow brands to suggest suitable influencers, they also use a complex algorithm to discover any other influencers potentially missed by a self-selection process.
The number of influencer marketing platforms has significantly increased over the last year. As we show in our Influencer Marketing Benchmark Report 2019, 320 new platforms and influencer focused agencies, have opened in the last 12 months, bringing it up to 740 influencer agencies and platforms at the end of 2018.
Influencer marketing platforms have also widened the range of tools they offer their clients. Influencer discovery is just one tool, and indeed not all influencer platforms now offer influencer discovery. Some of the additional tools provided by the platforms include:
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Relationship Management, Campaign Management, Influencer Marketplace
Social Networks Catered For: Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Blogs
Pricing Tiers: Basic (1 user, 1 active campaign) / Pro (4 users and 4 active campaigns) / Enterprise (unlimited users and 10 active campaigns). Customized pricing.
AspireIQ was formerly known as Revfluence (and that is the term we have used in previous influencer marketing platform posts on the Influencer Marketing Hub).
AspireIQ offers tools to help with virtually all stages of an influencer campaign. It began as an influencer discovery platform but has added other tools over time. It was one of the first platforms to add robust influencer and campaign management tools.
An influencer needs to have an account on the platform to be able to participate in campaigns; however, the database of influencers isn't restricted to those who've opted in. The influencer discovery software uses an algorithm to crawl through a massive amount of social data to find suitable influencer suggestions for campaigns.
A more recent focus of AspireIQ has been on retaining successful influencers. They recognize the current trend towards building lasting, meaningful influencer relationships. You can quickly identify high performing influencers, and AspireIQ provides you with tools to nurture these relationships. It even includes a recommendation engine that suggests similar types of influencers, once you have found successful influencers.
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Discovery, Campaign Management
Social Networks Catered For: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Blogs
Pricing Tiers: Startup - $795/mo. (1 user, 500 influencers emailed, 1 social listening stream) / Small Business - $995/mo.

(10 users, 5,000 influencers emailed, 25 social listening streams)
Upfluence grew out of two products – Façade, an influencer search engine, and Publishr, an influencer management system, and content marketplace. The company evaluated its software and decided to close Publishr down, rebranding the discovery search engine as Upfluence.
Over time, they have migrated the best management features over from Publishr and added social listening features, resulting in an all-in-one influencer experience.
The Upfluence database is massive, including over one million influencers. Their algorithm updates all of this data in real-time. They analyze every item of content posted for reach and engagement.
You can search through the Upfluence database in multiple ways, drilling down in detail. You can place relative weights on your keywords, to help further narrow down your results.

HYPR was one of the first platforms to realize the importance of data to influencer discovery. We stress multiple times on the Influencer Marketing Hub, the importance of selecting influencers whose followers match your target market. That can be tricky; however, HYPR makes it easier to find influencers with the right followers for your business.
HYPR's database includes more than 10 million influencers. The system uses complex algorithms to analyze social media messages to help it offer relevant influencer suggestions.
Unlike many of the platforms here, HYPR has restricted its features to providing data for influencer discovery. It has resisted trying to become the Swiss Army Knife of influencer platforms and found its clear niche. HYPR is very much a tool for searching and analyzing influencers. It does also collect data on live campaigns now, however.

Pricing Tiers: Contact Tagger Media for pricing information
Tagger Media provides a range of tools to help brands through the influencer marketing process. It features an opt-in database of over one million influencers.
It actually began in 2015 as a music recommendation engine. It tracked social conversations and analyzed fan preferences to come up with relevant music suggestions. It was not long, however, before Tagger Media realized that their algorithms could be of more use recommending potential influencers to brand clients.
The platform has far more features than just an influencer discovery engine, however. It includes most of the features of an influencer marketplace. Once you have found the influencers you wish to work with you can create campaigns for them within the platform. Indeed, you may opt to create your campaign first, then use the discovery engine, and then invite your preferred influencers to work with you.
The best feature of Tagger Media, however, is its focus on psychographics. The influencer discovery engine includes social listening. This analyzes what people are talking about, as well as concrete things like their interests. Their Affinity Engine can dissect audience interests and note where they overlap.

Julius began life in 2012 as a platform named Thuzio. Before long, Thuzio became a type of web-based talent agency for current and former athletes.
Before too long, the platform had moved into influencer discovery and had an easier-to-pronounce name, Julius. More recently, they have expanded their offerings, and are now a full-fledged self-service marketing suite.
Julius works with a database of more than 120,000 influencers. Although Julius uses AI and algorithms to come up with suggested influencers, it does not recommend anybody before they have first had their data vetted by humans, who can also flesh out their profile.
Julius includes a detailed data search engine, with more than 50 different criteria for narrowing a search—covering demo- and psychographic data. You can easily make shared lists with your team.
Julius includes an excellent comparison feature. You can compare up to five influencers at a time, across a range of data features. This makes it particularly easy to see how influencers stack against one another.
Once your campaign is underway, you can easily find anything you want to know about your campaign. It provides in-depth reports, with clear visualizations.

NeoReach mines the web for social data, that it indexes and makes available for searches on its platform. Its programmers developed an algorithm that mines the internet for social data, discovering influencers, rather than letting influencers opt-in themselves. It now has over 3 million influencers in its database.
NeoReach recognizes the importance of data. Influencer searches begin with a keyword. NeoReach searches through its database of users and their posts to discover a march for your selected keyword.
You can then refine your searches by factors such as conversation topic, social channel, social metrics per channel, audience demographics, and audience psychographics.
In addition to searches you may make as a user, NeoReach offers additional recommendations, using AI. The more you use NeoReach, the better its influencer recommendations will be.
NeoReach also includes a full set of campaign management tools. It acts as a centralized communications hub between you and your influencers.
It continues its emphasis on data in the reports it gives its clients. One particularly useful statistic is NeoReach's own Influencer Media Value (IMV), which is its adaptation of the more traditional Earned Media Value (EMV).
Influencer Services Offered: Influencer Content Amplification
Social Networks Catered For: Facebook, Instagram
Pricing Tiers: Customized pricing – a flat monthly access fee. Agencies are billed per client along the same lines.
Lumanu is different from many of the other platforms covered here. They provide a different tool to most of the platform opposition. Their strength is influencer content amplification.
Paul Johnson and Tony Tran founded Lumanu in 2016. They had noticed that many firms operated both influencer marketing and paid advertising in the same market – effectively competing with themselves. They had both marketers creating content for the ads, and influencers making their own content to compete with the paid ads.
This seemed like duplication to Johnson and Tran. They felt it made far more sense to reuse the quality content created by influencers for a campaign in future paid advertising campaigns.
Lumanu doesn't try to compete with the other platforms, by offering overlapping services such as influencer discovery and management. It focuses solely on repurposing influencer marketing content for paid ads and works alongside the other platforms.
You begin by adding your influencers into Lumanu. They then contact your influencers, asking them to authorize using their data (for your account only). Lumanu then invites them to join your network, so that Lumanu can access all of their post data.
Lumanu can then establish which of your influencers' content performs most successfully. They then recommend to you in their Content Manager the best content items for you to boost as paid ads.

Open Influence began life as InstaBrand, and grew out of a completely different product – a "fashion sales aggregation thingy." Although it may have started as fashion-focused, Open Influence ended up as an influencer platform, for brands in any industry.
Although there are two comparatively cheap small business plans, they have little real practical value. Most businesses will need to have at least a Premium plan to make use of Open Influence.
The critical point of difference with Open Influence is its focus on images. It includes advanced image recognition technology. This makes it easier to find influencers who share pictures of any topic that interests you.
Open Influence's AI labels the content directly and accurately. It includes an intelligent algorithm that means it can almost "understand" what an image shows.
This is particularly useful for finding people whose style and audience fit the image of your brand. You can also use audience demographics and psychographics to refine your search.
One unusual feature of Open Influence is its Mood Board, which gives you an indication of what you campaign will ultimately look like, based on influencers' past posts. This gives an excellent way of seeing whether an influencer's style and aesthetics match your own.

Rural bus services resume (Update 3)
By Andria Kades November 9, 2015 February 10, 2016 1137
Tasos Michaelides at Arediou bus station on Monday
By Andria Kades
Bus services affected during a dispute at the Nicosia bus company OSEL last week resumed on Monday albeit with some changes as the Arediou station remained closed.
The programme includes a number of changes with respects to pick-up and drop-off points but OSEL said it ensured passengers would be easily able to transfer to other routes in and out of Nicosia.
Although operations went smoothly, one bus had to reportedly stop at around 7am due to security reasons. Passengers, who included students, were picked up by another bus.
Arediou has been closed off for a week after a company shareholder Tasos Michaelides blocked the station, along with around 20 buses, in an attempt to raise the issue of alleged dodgy dealings in the company, including cooking the books, bribing officials and cheating the state over fuel.
A trench had been dug, obstructing the vehicles from leaving the station. He refused to run his buses until action was taken.
By Monday, the trench was closed however the buses could not be moved as their insurance had been revoked.
Michaelides repeated his claims of nepotism on Monday, claiming the wife of a high ranking person in the company is paid a €5800 salary but only comes in to work for a few hours a week.
Asked how many of his family members work in OSEL, he told the state broadcaster it was five.
He chastised the Transport Minister Marios Demetriades for saying there were strict controls in place. This was grossly inaccurate, Michaelides said, pointing out that OSEL officials are set to appear in court in December for dodgy deeds in the company.
OSEL was not immediately available for comment.
On state radio, Demetriades said the company did have children and grandchildren of various people working there but added that government checks had become tougher over the past two years. The state's agreement with the company is set to end in 2020, but this did not mean the government would accept wrong practices until then, he said.
Early on Saturday morning a court order issued earlier this week was served but the buses could not be removed due to technical damage, OSEL said.
Michaelides however claimed this was an outright lie and the company was lying to the public.

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Leave to stand for one hour to blend the flavours.
Using just less than a golf ball-size of the mixture for each kebab, mould into meatball shapes and push on to metal skewers – three or four on each. Moistening your hands will help mould the meat mixture.
Place skewers on an oven tray under the grill. Turn frequently to brown evenly – around 10 to 15 minutes.Recipe, Fern Green.
These tasty meatballs are also great in a rich tomato sauce. Add cumin to the sauce for an authentic Moroccan taste.

Rihanna Meets With President & First Lady Macron to Support Global Partnership for Education
264 million children are out of school and the funding needs are critical.
Rihanna met today with France's President Emmanuel Macron to discuss the critical issue of replenishment of a global education fund.
President Macron met with Rihanna and Global Citizen founder and CEO Hugh Evans. Rihanna was appointed the global ambassador for Global Partnership for Education (GPE) in 2016.
Also in the meeting were French first lady Brigitte Macron, Jay Brown, co-founder and CEO of Roc Nation and Justine Lucas, Executive Director of Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation.
Currently, 264 million children are out of school around the world, per latest figures from UNESCO. GPE is seeking to raise $2 billion (USD) in annual funding by 2020 to ensure quality and equitable education for all.

The meeting came about after Rihanna tweeted at Macron in June, asking if he would support education efforts. Earlier this week, his public schedule revealed he'd be meeting with the Grammy-winning artist.
🇫🇷 bonjour @EmmanuelMacron, will France commit to #FundEducation?
— Rihanna (@rihanna) June 23, 2017
This isn't the first time Rihanna has used Twitter to convince world leaders to support GPE. Last year, she tweeted at Macron's predecessor, President Francois Hollande. That effort led to a $2 million (USD) commitment by France to Education Cannot Wait.

The singer/songwriter visited Malawi earlier this year with Evans and GPE Board Chair Julia Gillard to see first-hand the challenges facing countries with few resources for education.
"I'm really here to see it," Rihanna said at the time. "It's one thing to read statistics, but I want to see it firsthand, and find out all that can be done and where to start first."
Global Citizen campaigns and the advocacy efforts championed by Rihanna are critical to the Global Partnership for Education's efforts to tackle these challenges.

Rihanna headlined the Global Citizen Festival in New York City last year, performing in Central Park in front of 60,000 global citizens, who all took actions to earn a pair of tickets.

Schedule your pet's annual checkup today to be sure your pet is healthy!
Is your dog very tired? Is your cat eating less than usual? These seemingly minor changes may mean your pet has a flea allergy, an internal parasite infection, or a tick-related disease.
Let's talk about fleas first. The majority of pets don't have fleas—but many have been bitten because fleas are everywhere! Yes, fleas live outdoors but they can live indoors too – even in really clean homes – year-round in any climate. Fleas will gladly hitch a ride on your pet into your house. And all it takes is one flea bite (specifically the flea's saliva), to set off a full blown skin allergy. Pets may scratch their sides, neck or even lick their paws until they're red and painful. What pet wants to move around or eat when feeling this miserable?
Ticks are tricky. Even when you check your pet for ticks they can be tough to find because they're small and hide well in dark fur. But it's crucial to find ticks and remove them quickly. Why? Some ticks carry bacteria that cause disease (such as Lyme disease, but there are many others). And all you need is one undetected tick bite for your pet to become infected. They can become sick and develop kidney problems. At times, these diseases can be fatal. Ugh! Is there any good news? Yes! We're experts when it comes to flea allergies, tick and internal parasite checks. Even if your pet is on regular monthly preventive, it is still important for us to make sure your pet is healthy. Make an appointment for your pet's annual checkup today – we'll give them a thorough physical exam from nose to tail. Let's also confirm the prevention you're using is right for your pet!

The Little German Boy
"Everything will be just fine," Greta murmured. She rocked back and forth with the small, frightened child in her lap, and hoped that he didn't feel her racing heart and her fear. He clung to her neck and sobbed, voicelessly. He didn't even pull on his nose or sniffle. He just let his tears and nose run and his shoulders shake, all in eerie silence. Greta was horrified that any child his age – she guessed he was four or five, although he was small and terribly thin – could control himself this way. The boy that she'd had when she was younger had been rambunctious, always running around, putting his hands into everything, shouting at the top of his voice until he tired himself out and plopped down in the comfiest spot in the house for a nap, just like an enthusiastic kitten might do.
"Shh, shh," Greta began and stopped herself immediately. No, no, she shouldn't, she mustn't shush him. The poor thing hadn't spoken a word, hadn't made a sound since entering her house. She knew why, or she thought she knew why, but she didn't want to think about it, and succeeded in pushing the complicated, conflicting notions out of her mind. She hoped that her son wouldn't get home tonight. He hadn't said he would, but sometimes he popped by after a night of drinking with the men, and when that happened, she never knew what kind of mood he'd be in. He was often weepy and melancholy as a drunk, and he would want to discuss her memories of him as a boy. But sometimes he would get himself into a rage and would talk at Greta, pacing around and around the small kitchen like a caged tiger at a circus. When he was like that, she tried to make herself small. He frightened her then and reminded her of her husband, may God rest his fiery soul and protect him from ending up in Hell.
The sobs abated and Greta pulled back from the child, trying to look into his face. He allowed her to do so, becoming limp like a rag doll in her arms and looking down at his little hands instead of up into her eyes. He'd only met her gaze once, when she'd found him in the outhouse, shivering, and then there'd been such fear – such absolute terror! – in his hungry eyes that Greta was almost thankful that she hadn't needed to face it again.
A shout from outside made them both jump. Greta listened, and recognized the sounds of a parade starting to go through the village streets. The soldiers paraded often – theirs was a small town, and they didn't have much work to do in it in between ventures to other towns in the area to recruit or into the countryside to scour it for runaways. As the boots began to pound the street, the boy in Greta's arms started to shiver violently and then tried to leap off of her.
She struggled to hold him close, but he was like a wild animal, scratching at her hands and kicking his feet, trying to get away. When he bit her finger, she let out a moan of pain and let go and he scampered off through the house. Greta was off the couch in a second, after him. He ran from one small room to another, trying to open doors and windows, but they were all locked – Greta had locked them quickly and silently when she'd brought him in. She'd pulled the shades down too. When he couldn't find a way out, he crawled right into the chimney and attempted climbing up it, frantically, falling down over and over again, try as he might to catch a handhold.
Greta knelt in front of the hearth and held out her arms to him, ignoring the pain in her finger. "Come, I'll protect you," she whispered. "They won't get you. They won't come here. You're safe. You're my little boy – I have peroxide, we can dye your hair, everything will be alright. My little blue-eyed boy."
He stared at her, his sea-blue eyes stretched wide. He touched his hair, so filthy that Greta didn't know whether it was brown or black. He met her eyes again, and she wondered whether someone like her had betrayed him once already, because there was such wariness in his face, such uncertainty.
"Everything is going to be alright, I promise. I'll protect you," she said again. Slowly, ever so slowly, he crawled out the fireplace and allowed her to whisk him away to the kitchen, where she made him a hot cup of tea as that parade went by outside.

A Mad Woman in Berlin
She leaned over the back to back metal benches and asked the pair of English tourists if they smoked tobacco. Her accent was thick, sometimes sounding German, and at others Russian, although her English was good. The man, glancing uneasily at his partner, answered that he did. When the woman asked if she could have some, he looked confused for a moment. His partner told the woman that they only had cigarettes. The woman nodded eagerly, and asked if she could have one. The man smiled politely and produced a pack of Camels. The woman asked for a light, and the man leaned over toward her and lit her cigarette, which she sucked on greedily. He then turned to his partner, and they both spoke for a while in another language.
The mad woman didn't quite fit the stereotype of a homeless person, living on the streets. Her hair was a shock of grayish-brown and her skin looked almost healthy. She was somewhere between forty and fifty, but wore the age well on her face, which was elegantly lined, although her cheeks were still full and youthful. Her clothing was oddly fancy, or at least the top half was. She wore what looked like a light brown leather jacket and her handbag was of similar material and color. The mere fact that she had a handbag was strange. Her skinny legs were wrapped in tight pants in shades of brown, olive and black, like a military uniform made into fashionable jeans. The mix between the pants and the well-kept leather jacket were perhaps an indication of her madness. Still, she could have been an eccentric fashionista and nothing more.
Except, that is, for the fact that she was talking to herself loudly and was holding a pink carton of cheap wine.
"It is security, you see. I don't trust a man, and security is inside me. You have to stay inside the clothes, inside the pants. The pants are protection, they protect me. But I am an attractive woman. If another man come near I go away. But if another woman approach me," and here she sounded a little defensive, "then that is okay, I mean I am an attractive woman. A woman can look at a woman and appreciate her and I don't mind if a woman looks at me." She took a drink from her pink bottle, and the smell of wine washed over the English tourists as well as the others on the platform. Just then, the train arrive, and everyone boarded, including the mad woman.
She sat across from the English couple and fell silent for a time. When a fat man with a tiny dog boarded at the next station and sat next to her, she got up at once and moved into the narrow space between the Englishwoman and a bearded businessman. She started talking again. "It is like the jackets, do you know the jackets in London?" she turned to the businessman. It wasn't clear whether he ignored her or nodded for she kept speaking almost at once. "There are nice jackets in London, long coats. Every person should have them, they are made of good fabric, of, what is it called… Not wool, it's not wool. It's not like the jeans. There are jeans that are made of denim, and they are the color of – the color of indigo. How do you say indigo in German?" she turned to the Englishwoman.
"I don't speak German, I'm sorry," the tourist said, shrugging and smiling, but drawing closer to her companion so as not to brush the woman's jacket.
"That's right, you're not from here," the mad woman dismissed her at once and continued speaking of fabrics and jackets in America as opposed to those in London. She got off at the next stop, still speaking to herself in a loud, coherent voice, as if she were having a conversation with someone else. The English tourists probably never saw her again, but there was no way they would forget this strange and lonely woman who chose them as smoking- and seat-companions on a short journey on the U-Bahn in Berlin.

To Berlin!
Yes, it's true, I'm going abroad tonight! Again! I know, I know, this is getting insane… But to be fair, this time I'm using my mileage on Swiss-Air to fund a flight! And I'll remind you all again that flying to Europe from Israel is much less hassle that from North America, or indeed, Australia/New Zealand. It's about three and a half hours to Frankfurt, where we switch planes and fly to Berlin.
Yes, this is the third trip abroad that Sir B. F. and I are undergoing together! The first two were to London, England, a place we both love beyond measure. London is fantastic city, absolutely amazing in everything from culture to architecture. But we've "done" London twice, and we decided we need a change.
Sir B. F. has a family member who's relatively wealthy and he has an apartment in Berlin which we can stay in – there's no way we could have succeeded in funding this trip if we'd had to stay in hotels. Even the cheapest of hotels cost about 100 Euro a night. But no, we get our own cozy little apartment in Charlottenburg, and we have the Schloss Charlottenburg, which is a palace with extensive gardens, right in our own neighborhood! It's definitely a perfect location for us – it's quiet, so we can rest peacefully at night, but close enough to transportation so that we can get right into the centers of Berlin.
While I'm gone, I will try to keep up with everyone's blogs as often as I can – and yes, I'm still visiting your blogs, but I'm just commenting less. I want to keep my circle of friends here, and I know that in the bloggy-world, the first sign of waning friendship is less commenting – so I truly do apologize, and I'll do better in future!
I'm also going to try to write a bit (or a lot) while I'm there. I'm bringing my trust netbook, and we have internet in our apartment – plus, there's neighbourhood-wide wifi connections in some areas of Berlin! Now that's a service that I think every city should adopt. But back to the point of this paragraph – writing! I've already started my travel journal, which I intend to write in as extensively as possible, and if I have time then I'll also try to continue with my own project which has slowed down a little, although things are getting clearer and closer to an ending, at which point I'll finally be able to start working on a second draft! Woo!
And so I leave you now to tackle the rest of my day and half the night, as I wait impatiently for my exciting vacation to begin.

Bertrand Clauzel, (1772 - 1842), conte, a fost un general francez, Mareșal al Franței și guvernator general al Algeriei franceze. Intrat în Garda Națională în 1789, este locotenent în 1790, servește în Armata Pirineilor între 1792 și 1795, an în care devine adjudant general șef de brigadă. Servește apoi în vestul Franței și este aghiotant al lui Grouchy în cadrul Armatei din Anglia. Apoi servește în Italia, unde devine general de brigadă (1799). Participă la expediția din Santo Domingo, în cadrul căreia se remarcă, devenind general de divizie în decembrie 1792. Afectat în Olanda, Italia și Dalmația, nu regăsește câmpul de bătălie decât în 1809, împotriva Austriei înainte de a fi trimis în peninsula iberică. Devine baron al Primul Imperiu Francez în 1810. Servește în Armata Portugaliei și ia comanda acesteia în urma bătăliei de la Arapiles, în urma căreia fusesră răniți cei doi ofițeri superiori ierarhic, Marmont și Bonet. La rândul său rănit în această luptă, Clauzel reușește totuși să conducă o superbă retragere ce salvează armata de la distrugere. În 1813 primește comanda Armatei Nordului  și se retrage luptând spre Franța. Luptă sub comanda lui Soult în marea bătălie de la Toulouse.   În timpul celor "o sută de zile", Clauzel este comandant al corpului de observație al Pirineilor Orientali, iar după Waterloo se autoexilează în Statele Unite, fiind ulterior condamnat la moarte în contumancie. Amnistiat în 1820, se reîntoarce în Franța iar în 1830 susține venirea pe tron a lui Ludovic-Filip. Acesta îl numește Mareșal în 1831 și guvernator al Algeriei în 1835. După o serie de bătălii câștigate, Clauzel eșuează în fața orașului Constantine și conduce o dezastruasă retragere, fapt pentru care este demis. Numele său este înscris pe Arcul de Triumf din Paris. În Sfânta Elena, Napoleon a spus despre Clauzel: "Generalii care păreau destinați să se ridice erau: Gérard, Clauzel, Foy și Lamarque. Ar fi fost noii mei mareșali. " ("Les généraux qui semblaient devoir s'élever, les destinées de l'avenir, étaient Gérard, Clauzel, Foy, et Lamarque. C'étaient mes nouveaux maréchaux".)
