This year for me as far as fashion goes has been progressive, I've definitely stepped out my comfort zone. I made a promise to myself that I would give certain trends a chance, or wear things that I normally shy away from. Basically, I told myself to have fun with fashion which everyone should do. Some of the things that I did tackled this year was wearing a jumpsuit, as well as wearing more maxi dresses. Something that was on the top of my list was a romper. For the longest time rompers were not even a thought to me when it came to something I would wear. I would admire women who could pull them off so effortlessly. I for one don't wear shorts (another thing on my list to conquer) so the thought of a romper was a huge no-no. But sometimes it takes one special piece to get you over that hurdle and actually give it a whirl. This Halter Neck Romper from Eloquii was definite game changer for me. The minute I saw it, I knew that this would be the one to change my mind about rompers forever. I loved the off the shoulder design with the added halter which made it so different. The contrast pipping on the white fabric was so elegant looking, and the pockets added functionality to the romper. To give the romper some of my own style and amp up the look, I added a wide band belt to it. It's crazy how one special piece can change the way you feel about something you would never wear. This romper did just that...
Hi Lovies,
I don't know what it is but whenever I go on the Gwynnie Bee site to browse and add things to my virtual closet, I can't help but be drawn to anything with fruit on it. I mean how could you not enjoy a fruit print on your clothes, right? You guys already know that my blog has been flooded with me wearing clothing with some kind of fruit on it. It's safe to say that I am officially obsessed. First time around, I picked out this adorable dress with lemons on it. The second time, I went all out and picked this dress with a menagerie of fruits on it, which totally gave me life. But just when I thought I had reached my height of fruitfulness, this beauty popped up on the site and I fell in love. This Watermelon Print Dress by Corey was everything I could wish for. The whimsical pink watermelon print was so charming and such an eye catcher. The scuba fabric and fit and flare design made this super easy wear for any occasion. The notched neckline and pleating just added to the character of this dress. Oh and did I mention that it also has pocket?! I was all smiles while I had this dress on, it's hard not to be. I can definitely say that this dress is a #BorrownBuy.
Fall on the Brain
Hi Lovies,
I can't believe that there's only 2 weeks left to the summer, it feels like Memorial day was just here. As much as I don't want to see the summer go, I must admit that I've already have Fall fashion on the brain. It's kinda hard not to with all my favorite stores already saturated with pre-fall clothing. During this transitional time, I like to start going through my summer wardrobe and pulling pieces that I can still wear well into Fall. You guys already know how I love to buy clothes that I can wear for several season. This Off the Shoulder Maxi Dress from Roaman's is definitely one of those items that I will be wearing. It's perfect for the last days of summer with the lightweight fabric and feminine off the shoulder style. I love the button front design and bold print of the dress, along with the maxi length which is super flattering. The neutral colors of the print make it perfect to wear in the fall. I can see myself wearing this dress with a denim jacket and a pair of ankle booties when the weather gets cooler. When you have options like this for the upcoming season, it makes letting go of the Summer just a little easier.
One Style, Three Ways: Eloquii Maxi Split Back Shirt
Hi Lovies,
Recently, Gwynnie Bee asked me to be a part of their "One Style, Three Ways"' feature that they post monthly on their blog. This feature is so fun and I was lucky enough to have participated 2 other times (see here and here). If you're not familiar with this feature, Gwynnie Bee chooses 3 women to style the same piece. It's great to see the different styles between the 3 women and what they come up with. This time around we were asked to style this Eloquii Maxi Split Back Shirt. This is definitely something I wouldn't gravitate towards at first glance. While I am a sucker for a white button shirt, I was a little intimidated by this one. Until I received the top in the mail and that all changed. I immediately fell in love with how delicate it was, super comfy and easy to wear. The split back and long line design added such an edgy twist to the classic white shirt. While the sheer fabric made it perfect for the summer. This shirt has endless style possibilities!
1920's Chic
Hi Lovies,
I've said it many times that I was born in the wrong era, while I love being a 70's baby, my heart belongs to a different time period. I long to have been around when women only wore dresses, petticoats and corsets. Besides wanting to be Laura Ingles from Little House on the Prairie, I was also fascinated with the 1920's. It was the decade in which fashion entered the modern age and women abandoned restrictions. All the glitz and glam of that time period and the clothing was just amazing. Cloche hats, flapper dresses, over the top accessories and drop waists were such iconic fashion for that time. When I saw this Tie Neck Drop Waist Dress, I was immediately transported to the 1920's. The gorgeous bold turquoise color along with the ruffled sleeves and hem was just stunning. The tie neck added such a cute and dainty appeal to the dress as well as the tie waist for added structure. I got so many compliments on this when I wore it, such a great all occasion dress. So if you're a fan of 1920's fashion, then you want to have this dress in your closet.
Ruffled Maxi
Hi Lovies,
I have discussed many times on my blog how I can be a creature of habit with my fashion. You get comfortable with what works and don't step out the box to try something new. Lately I have been giving a few fashion trends a try and loving them. You guys know I take any opportunity to show off my legs, whether it be a skirt or dress, I prefer them to be at the knee length. So that means maxi dresses or skirts were outta the question in my book. I always admire women who could pull them off so gracefully without looking like an old lady lol. Well guess what?, I am one of those women now. This summer I've tried a few maxi dresses and love how they look on me. Since I am taller they look great on me and they suit my body type well. This Printed Maxi Dress from Sangria has definitely converted me. The vibrant floral color is just beautiful and perfect for summer. I love that it gives me a hint of sexy with the wrap plunge neckline. The chiffon type fabric is easy to wear even on the hotter days and adds a delicacy to the dress while still remaining feminine with the ruffled hem. Great for those summer weddings or special occasions. So if you're looking for a dress that makes a statement and want to venture into maxi dresses, then look no further!
The Golden Hour
Hi Lovies,
If you're following me on social media, then you know I was in Atlanta for the TCF Style Expo. I had the best time, it was such a good conference. Stay tuned for a vlog of the trip soon to come. Atlanta is definitely a great city and when they say "Hotlanta" they really mean it. The whole weekend was hot and humid and pushing my hair to the limit. While packing for the trip I knew that I wanted to look chic but also be comfy and cool. Saturday was one of the hottest days so I reached for the coolest outfit I had. My obsession with off the shoulder/peasant style dresses hasn't stopped and this Off the Shoulder Embroidered Sleeve Dress (Currently $24!!) from the Avenue was a saving grace that day. The sleeves on this dress were such a show stopper, with the beautiful embroidery bell style. Loved the comfy fabric that kept me cool throughout the day. While this may be too short for some, I actually liked it, I take any chance to show off my legs! I can see myself wearing this well after summer as well with a pair of jeans underneath for a funky twist. It's just a great dress for the season that looks good on just about anyone.
A Diamond in the Rough
Hi Lovies,
There are times that you go on a website just "browse" with no intention of buying anything. I do that a lot, I browse, fill my cart up with stuff but never hit the order button. It's sorta like therapy for me I think, something to feel my fashion soul desire lol. Forever 21 is one of those websites that I use to religiously purchase from when I first got into blogging. At the time I was 2 sizes smaller and there wasn't much option as far as brands or sites to shop from. Plus back then, Forever 21 actually had good quality clothes that was true to size. As for right now, F21 is definitely not a store I shop at anymore, the fashion has become very young looking and their sizing has changed to true junior plus. But on this particular day, I found myself on the site just to see what they had as of late. I came across this Stripe Off the Shoulder dress and thought it was super cute. Not to mention the dress was only $11, so even if it didn't work out I didn't spend a fortune on it. Surprisingly enough when I got it home and tried it one, it fit perfectly and looked great on. The ruffle flounce was so flirty and pretty and the blue stripe print gave the dress character. The button front and tie waist added a bit a menswear feel while still remaining feminine. This was for sure a dress that surprised me and have quickly fallen in love with. Forever 21, I might have not given up on you just yet...
Fun with Modcloth
Hi Lovies,
In my 5 years of blogging, it has been such a great pleasure to see how much Plus Size Fashion has evolved. When I first started, I literally only shopped at Forever 21, Torrid and ASOS Curve. While there were a few other brands, like Lane Bryant but they had not caught up to being fashion forward yet. Now 5 years later and I'm just awed by all the new PS brands that have popped up. It's just great when a brand just gets it and knows how important it is to be size inclusive. Honestly the world would be a better place if more brands did this and realized how important it is for body positivity. Being size inclusive isn't only about being able to walk into any store and finding your size but it's also empowering as well. One brand as of late that gets this is Modcloth, they've been around for a while and I've always loved their stuff. The company was founded by High School Sweethearts Susan Gregg Koger and Eric Koger back in 2002 and has grown so much since then. What I love about the Modcloth site is that there is no separation of straight sizes and plus sizes, everything is together. Everything is available in a full range of sizes from XXS-4X, which I think is awesome. Not to mention that they have a mixture of straight and plus size models wearing their clothes, A+ to them!

Hi Lovies,
The summer is all about having fun and enjoying yourself, whether it be going on vacation, enjoying a day at the beach or a long walk in the park. As for me, my wardrobe has to be fun as well for the summer. Bright colors, bold patterns and prints, anything that will put a smile on my face. Honestly it just makes my day better when my outfit is fun. I've already spoke about how I am obsessed with the fruit trend, well it hasn't stopped. This Fruit Salad Dress from City Chic via Gwynnie Bee just screams fun and playful. This cheerful print is so charming with all the adorable fruit print and vibrant colors. The fit and flare design is so flattering and the sweetheart neckline adds a little flirtiness to the dress. Not to mention how lightweight and easy to wear it is. If you're looking to make a statement this summer then you need this dress in your life. I think it's safe to say that this dress is definitely a #BorrownBuy.

Social media is a fantastic way to promote yourself or your business – it can increase awareness of your brand, bolster your design portfolio, improve your site's SEO (web hosting services can also help here), and help you to genuinely connect with your customers. It's easy to set up a social media page, but gaining traction and turning handfuls of followers into thousands and thousands of engaged users is tough.
There's no magic formula to success in social media, and it can feel like it's taking a very long time to attract the right followers. There are some social media tricks and some basic rules you can follow to help things along. However, these vary between social media platforms, so we've zoned in on five power tips for each of the three main players: Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
If you follow advice, and remain patient during the lulls in follower activity, you will be well on the path to audience engagement. Need to create a site worthy of a stellar social media presence? Here are the best website builder tools around. And be sure to back up your assets in secure cloud storage.
On this page we look at Facebook, and on the following pages you'll find power tips for Twitter and Instagram. Let's dive straight in…
Facebook power tips
01. Get local
If you are only going to do one thing with social media from now on then it should be this. Join as many local community groups as possible and post regularly in them. Get known, provide advice, answer questions. Just participate. People buy from people they know. So make sure everyone knows you.
02. Know your audience
Every single Facebook tip boils down to one thing. Get to know the people around you, and make sure they know you. Talk to people, answer their questions for free, be the guy everyone likes, the first person they think of. Then when they need something, you'll have already sold it.
03. Share memes
People love to share funny pictures. The picture itself isn't going to get you any business, but becoming known as a person who is funny isn't going to do you any harm at all. Social media is about interaction. Be the person that everyone likes. Try to make what you share relevant…
04. Integrate email marketing
Do you have a regular newsletter? If not then shame on you, go start one now. Then integrate the sign up with your Facebook page. There's no point in going to all of the effort of making people like you if you don't leverage it to get an opportunity to pitch your business.
05. Retarget
We know it kinda goes against the ethos of this list to suggest you simply pay for adverts, but Facebook's retargeting system rocks. And even better it doesn't have to cost much. The more people see you the more likely they are to buy, so retarget to make sure they see you again!
Recommended app: Tabsite
This tool enables you to create tabs in Facebook, so you can run competitions, sweepstakes, and special offers.

Estonian finance minister's company annual reports still unsubmitted
As she took office last fall, Minister of Finance Annely Akkermann (Reform) said that the annual reports of companies she owns, which had not been submitted for several years, would be completed soon. In reality, they still have yet to be submitted to the commercial register. The minister claimed she hasn't been able to deal with the issue due to working long hours, but promised to do so following the elections.
Owned by Akkermann are Luited OÜ, which offers moving services, and yacht maintenace provider Eystra Yachts OÜ, and annual reports haven't been submitted for several years by either. The most recent annual reports submitted to Estonia's central commercial register are for 2019.
The current finance minister also owns shares in Kihnu Majanduse OÜ and Kihnu Põllumajanduse OÜ, annual reports for the latter of which are likewise long since overdue.
Akkermann told ERR that only a lack of time is behind the delay in submitting the these reports.
"I have completely backburnered all of my personal affairs," she explained. "There's nothing else to it. The work of finance minister has been much more intense than I had thought."
The minister added that she would submit the reports once the current election campaign ends. She said that the report for Kihnu Põllumajanduse OÜ is nearly complete, after which the rest will be done right away as well.
Akkermann admitted that it is her role as minister of finance to set an example for other business-owners as well, but stated that she nonetheless absolutely cannot find the time to get these reports submitted.
"I'm working 16 hours a day right now; I can't take any more," she said.
By law, businesses are required to submit an annual report for each year, even for years during which no economic activity has taken place.

AWS Machine Learning Specialty: How I got certified in ten days as a Devops Engineer
He did it!
Our Cloud Expert Alessandro Gaggia got his sixth (!) AWS Certification (the 58th AWS Certification for beSharp): the AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty!
Alessandro is considered a backbone of our company: he joined the team as a Front-end developer back in 2012, a few months after beSharp's establishment. Today, he is the dean of our development team. He first approached Machine Learning one year ago while participating in the AWS DeepRacer League held during the AWS RE: Mars in Las Vegas. From that moment onwards, it became a real passion for him. After the rush, which took him towards the certification, Alessandro threw himself into a precious retrospective study on the winning path that led him to obtain this excellent result in a few days. So it's time to leave the floor. Ready to become AWS Certified?https://twitter.com/beSharpsrl/status/1269931019383250945
My personal experience
AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty is an advanced certification a bit different from the others, because it is the only one which focuses on specific sector knowledge not strictly tied to AWS services. In fact, in order to pass the exam and obtain the certification, it's fundamental being able to recognize, analyze and optimize different machine learning problems starting from use cases' descriptions, without them being exclusively linked to peculiar AWS' solutions.
This is my point of view and it diverges a little from what I have read in many articles, where authors consider SageMaker as the main focus of the exam. I believe, instead, that this exam tested mainly me being familiar with Machine Learning in general.
On the other hand, many testimonials - given by expert data scientists - say that, before taking this certification, many years of on-the-field training are required. Personally, I don't believe this is entirely true: experience always plays a fundamental role however, like many other certifications I've obtained, what you really need is dedication to study, a strong desire to deep dive in all the arguments and logic ability to make it through. Also some understanding of Big Data concepts can help.
Disclaimer: information gathered here repòresent my personal experience on preparing the exam and it is by no means to be intended as a substitute, more over exhaustive, of studying material proposed by Amazon Web Services. I believe though, that they are an excellent reference material to follow in order to optimize your learning path, containing references to many different sites about Machine Learning and on AWS' FAQ.
Be also extra careful about the different questionnaires available for testing, for which you'll get the link, in particular the Certbolt executable, which allows to simulate a complete test of 65 questions with solutions.
With a study full immersion session of about 8 hours a day, certification can be achieved in 1 days… or at least, this was my strategy, which gave me the ability to pass the exam with a score of 800/1000 on a minimum of 750/1000.
Exam's topics
The exam is 170 minutes long for 65 questions, personally, I managed to finish in 9 minutes, which gave me plenty of extra time for checking. One positive note is that, unlike other advanced certifications, this one has short use cases, which means less time to read and more time to think.
I've put a list of all the main topics i found in both exam readiness test and in the official one:
Given a ML problem, use a combination of AWS managed services to solve it in the most fast and efficient way possible. In this case we have the following topics:
- Kinesis Data Stream, Analytics, Firehose.
- S3, KMS, DynamoDB (just remember what they are and what they do)
- AWS ElasticSearch con Kibana, Splunk, AWS Quicksight (for Business intelligence - a.k.a BI)
- AWS Athena, AWS Redshift
- AWS EMR with Spark
- AWS Glue
- AWS Translate, Transcribe, Lex, Polly, DeepLens, Rekognition, Comprehend, etc.
In some cases we also have a combination of Managed Services and SageMaker, but in these specific cases it's usually trivial to exclude wrong answers.
Given a ML problem, being able to manage the following scenarios:
- Data cleaning with appropriate techniques like: Filtering, Transforming, Scaling, Extracting
- Manage Overfitting/Underfitting, understanding when we have to work with: Learning Rate, Batch Size, Oversampling, Regularization, Dropout Rate, Feature Increasing, Denoising, Normalization, Epoch Time, etc.
- Evaluate the appropriate score for a specific model, keeping in mind its typology and Business requests; learn how to choose between: RMSE, R2, F1, Recall, Accuracy, Precision, AUS-ROC, etc.
- Manage Hyperparameters tuning both on Sagemaker and in general; you need to see: Learning Rate, Epoch Time, L1 e L2 Regularization, Adam, Random and Stocastic Optimization, alpha, beta and gamma parameters in different contexts.
- Manage deploy on Sagemaker.
To resume all the projects in details, some "must" are:
- Creation of a pipeline using Kinesis Stream, Firehose and Analytics in combination with Amazon Athena or Elastic Search
- Solve a Overfitting problem
- Solve a Tuning problem
- Solve a Scoring problem
- Solve a Confusion matrix problem
- Use a combination of managed AWS ML services to solve a problem in a easy and efficient way
- Manage different deploy scenarios on Sagemaker
This list covers the majority of questions you'll likely to see in an exam. Following I will propose a study guide, making it possible to manage all the topics in a tidy and organic way.
Topics to study: a lineup
Reference links about topics here described are mostly from AWS official documentation, in particular for SageMaker and others managed services. Also, regarding topics more related to Machine Learning, I want to propose some sites that I found particularly complete, well explained and exhaustive.

Cheats, tips & tricks
- Typically, in the case of Simple Hold Out, standard values are 80/10/10 or 70/15/15.
- If in some questions you find something related to historical data you'll have to work with supervised algorithms.
- What are the benefits of Random and Bayesian Optimizer for hyperparameters in Sagemaker compared to Grid Optimizer or manual? They better explore parameters space better verifying unusual combinations.
- Random optimizer is faster than Bayesian, but the second one is more precise.
- Confusion matrix can also be NxN in dimension.
- Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency: a high value means a rare term.
- Oversampling and undersampling are not useful for regression (both logistic and linear)
- When we have a strong unbalanced class, class probability threshold can be put from 0.5 to a higher value for the unbalanced class.
- Oversampling must be done after splitting to avoid data bleeding.
- To exit from local minima you need to reduce batch size and also learning rate to reduce oscillatory effect of a small batch size promoting a better convergence.
- For oversampling a basic approach in questions is: GAN is better than SMOTE which is better than manual.
- When we have missing values a viable solution is applying machine learning techniques to replace values, in general, is a good approach.
- When I have questions regarding recommendation engine or in general how to predict users' choices if we have collaborative filtering as a possible answer than it's usually a good answer.
- If you must decide: AWS Glue is more batch oriented, Kinesis Firehose is for streaming real time data.
- If you have forecasting climate problems, you generally have to use Linear Regression (if there aren't more fitting algorithms, this is usually sufficient).
- Firehose input lambda has a timeout of 3 sec, so if you want to execute longer and complex input operations, this value is not sufficient and must be increased.
- Scatter Plot is best used for 2 dimension analysis, Histograms for 1 dimension.
- Logistic Regression: is used for binary classification, don't be fooled by its name!
- NTM: neural topic model: is used to group topics into categories.
- Semantic Segmentation: helps to find high level features by making a per pixel analysis of an image.
- Firehose is not particularly useful if data is already in S3, it takes data from a stream!
For deep learning and overfitting problems, use these schemas as a valid reference:
Sono i parametri da modificare per ridurre l'overfitting. Inoltre:
- When you're using Kinesis Data Stream there is a special variant video stream that is used in combination with Rekognition Video in a simple and clear way. There is a specific use case in AWS guides.
- AWS Comprehend is not only for Sentiment Analysis but also for Topic Analysis, Key Extraction, and Entity Recognition, also it uses NLP, so in case you'll have the same topics in a question, you can better understand if you need to use NLP.
- L1 and L2 are regularization terms used to reduce overfitting making the algorithms more conservative when you have a dataset with many features.
- Cross Validation is based on hyperparameters, it helps with overfitting when dataset is small, so when risk is higher due to low quantity of data.
- Deep Learning: substitute a model with a neural network for analysis.
- Deep Learning features can be analysed as raw because in complex network, layers themselves are able to transform low level features in higher ones.
In Deep learning we have different types of activation function:
- Sigmoid
- ReLU
- Softplus
- TanH
- When we talk about Deep Learning CNN or Convolutional Neural Network (very good for image processing) and Long Short Term Memory, are the most used for versatility and scalability.
Questions: where to find them?
In general, because of AWS' NDA about exam's questions, its difficult to obtain official material (or at least officious and reliable)...This list of links points to resources personally selected by me as proven to be verified, trustable and functional to certification's preparation:
- Official AWS questions (free): https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-ml/AWS-Certified-Machine-Learning-Specialty_Sample-Questions.pdf
- Official AWS test exam (paid): https://www.aws.training/certification?rightcta=mlexam
- Exam readiness class (paid): https://www.aws.training/SessionSearch?pageNumber=1&courseId=38153
- Certbolt test exam with 65 questions - only on Windows system or VM - highly recommended (free): https://www.certbolt.com/aws-certified-machine-learning-specialty-exam-dumps
- Some studying materials from Udemy (paid): https://www.udemy.com/topic/aws-certified-machine-learning-specialty/
- Various questions: found on Google by searching "aws machine learning specialty dumps". They can be useful to verify your knowledge but not recommended as many of them are unfortunately not correct. Use them just as a proof of your own knowledge.
Side note: remote exam with Pearson/VUE
The remote exam involves accessing the Pearson/VUE panel and registering for a date when online proctoring is available, necessary to ascertain the validity of the exam. Given the emergency situation this year, it is advisable to book the session well in advance, to be sure of finding a convenient date and time.
You must have a valid ID card or driving license or passport, of which clear and understandable photos will be required. A damaged document or an illegible photo will cause significant delays in the scheduling due to telephone inquiries.
Software available for all Windows, Mac and Linux platforms will be downloaded, which will be used to take the exam and which will verify the room in which the test will take place by means of photos from the mobile phone. Also in this case it is necessary to scrupulously follow the instructions received via email upon registration, to carry out the validation tests before the exam date.
During the examination, a proctor will follow you from your webcam and the software downloaded will run in fullscreen to prevent the use of other programs.
Should any problem occur, the proctor will notify you via internal chat.
To conclude, if you were wondering if it was possible to prepare the AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty - or an AWS specialty in general - on your own, now you know that the answer is ... technically yes :)
However, for those who are beginners with AWS certifications or those who need structured training, it is important to know that AWS puts official courses at your disposal by delivering them through recognized APN Training Partners.

Chrome Removes XSS Protection
On July 15, Google announced that the XSS Auditor module that protects Chrome users against Cross-site Scripting attacks is to be abandoned. It was found to be easy to bypass, inefficient, and causing too many false positives. A similar mechanism was previously used by Microsoft Edge (XSS filter) and removed in 2018.
XSS Auditor was introduced in 2010. It works by monitoring communication between the web browser and the web server and looking for potential XSS patterns. Since 2016, XSS Auditor completely blocked access to the page if a potential XSS attack was found. Due to a large number of false positives, the default behavior was recently changed from blocking to filtering the potentially harmful code.
Several sources are suggesting that Google is trying to replace XSS Auditor by working on the implementation of Content-Security-Policy: trusted-types. This mechanism is meant to eliminate most potential DOM XSS attacks but is not meant to protect against other types of XSS attacks. Therefore, trusted types cannot be seen as a replacement for the XSS Auditor and there will be no replacement for the client-side protection mechanism. This increases the importance of protecting against XSS attacks by finding vulnerabilities as soon as possible.
Faulty by Design
There are two basic approaches to eliminating vulnerabilities: fixing them or going around them. The first approach involves finding errors in the application code and changing them. The second one means having an intermediate agent that blocks out potential attacks based on patterns. XSS Auditor used the second method, which yet again proved to be ineffective.
The XSS Auditor in Chrome works in a way very similar to how Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) work – they also use patterns to eliminate potential attacks. WAFs are excellent for zero-day protection – they can help prevent attacks before a vulnerability is fixed. However, they must not be used on their own and cannot be perceived as a long-term solution to web security. The only certain way to protect yourself against vulnerabilities is to manage them and eliminate them as early as possible in the software development lifecycle. And to eliminate them, you first need to know that they exist – that is what business-class web vulnerability scanners are for.

The Alpinist Mountain Standards reviews apply Alpinist's tradition of excellence and authenticity to gear reviews by providing unbiased, candid feedback and anecdotal commentary to equipment tested (hard) in the field. Our panel is comprised of climbers who use the gear every day as part of their work and play. Only the gear they would actually buy themselves, at retail price, qualifies for the Alpinist Mountain Standards award. The five-star rating system is as follows:
One Star = Piece of junk.
Two Stars = Has one or more significant flaws, with some redeeming qualities.
Three Stars = Average. This solid piece of gear is middle-of-the-road on the current market.
Four Stars = Better than most comparable gear on the market. It has one or two drawbacks, but still 90% positive.
Five Stars = Is there such thing as perfection? An Alpinist Mountain Standards award-winner.
Tad McCrea used the Fixe Ultralight Alien Revolution cams on 20 big routes in the Sierra Nevada Range this past summer and he was very happy with their light weight and performance, especially for the Double Sling design that allowed him to carry less gear for extending placements. He did not find any significant drawbacks to the latest version of this long beloved cam . Five stars

Alpinist Digital Editor Derek Franz has been wearing the unusual "armless" Ombraz Sunglasses since last spring. Instead of the typical rigid arms that are on most glasses, they are worn with an integrated lanyard that keeps them around the face or allows them to hang around the neck. The glasses also pack flat, allowing for easy stowing. Franz reports that Ombraz are highly durable with quality Zeiss Optics lenses. They are comfortable to wear with a variety of helmets but are less fashionable than traditional sunglasses. Four stars.

In 2014, an album called Unknown Death 2002 popped up on the Bandcamp of the streetwear and lifestyle brand MishkaNYC. The artist was someone going by the name Yung Lean; he sounded like the foggy after-effects of the citrus soda / cough syrup cocktail to which he owed his name. He was born in 1996 — he's 19. His crew is called Sad Boys, a group of boys who are sad. The essence of Yung Lean, which is to say the essence of confused youth superseded by their own internal conflicts, is the essence of America.
A true patriot
On an aesthetic level, Unknown Death 2002 mimics a still-occurring pseudo-nostalgic re-emergence of '90s culture. The sounds are hyper-referential to such an extent that they border on cheesy. Autotune runs rampant; so much so that it's often impossible to decode what Lean is saying, and when the Autotune is gone, his fist-in-mouth rap-mumble is just as difficult to parse.
The first 10 seconds of the album is filled with a low, exhausted moan that fades into a confusing mass of influences, like American hip-hop internet god Lil B, dated pop culture references, glitchy synths, and rhymes too ridiculous to be taken seriously. The lyrical content of Unknown Death 2002 relies heavily on sex, Arizona Iced Tea, Gatorade, and Internet Explorer. It's difficult to decide if Lean is post-culture, or simply so seeped in American culture he's created his own, half-price-appetizers version of it.
To more clearly understand how Yung Lean is both an amalgamation and recreation of America, let's break down the lyrics and video for "Hurt," a sleepy track of codeine-soaked beats in which Lean takes on the role of despondent sadist:
Yung Lean as defensive non-believer of commercial pressures: "Clearly on drugs / that will make you hear clearly wrong / Louder than my yearly bong hit." This seems to be a response to implications that Lean's druggy flow is hard evidence he's on actual drugs. By suggesting he smokes weed just once a year, Lean is curating a lesson in separating art from the artist. It's a classic book-by-the-cover thing, or a representation of finding societal conflict where it doesn't exist.
Yung Lean as cultural threat: "I'm in Italy, rodeo / Forgive me after my death / Caravaggio" Here, we could say that Lean is speaking as the 16th century Italian painter Amerighi da Caravaggio, who died a year after he killed another man in a street brawl. While many of Lean's lines seem surreal, Caravaggio was known for his naturalistic style of painting, and went relatively unnoticed in the art world for some time after his death. Lean himself suggests responsibility for his own death throughout the album, but here, he's not just suicidal, he's apocalyptic. Caravaggio died an outsider without ever being captured by the mainstream hands of the police, and Yung Lean's fate might be similar.
Yung Lean as tech artifact: The video for "Hurt" opens with what appears to be a negatively lit castle scene from a video game. It then morphs into a parade of naked running animatrons, Pokemon cards, and Web 1.0 typography before Yung Lean enters the picture. He then spends a good 10 seconds just stroking his iPhone without looking up at the camera. The song continues to play, and Lean refuses to be anything other than a passive figure holding a signifier of technological currency. Even while he stands in front of us, Lean has removed himself from the video merely by gripping his device. It's frustrating, yet weirdly thrilling — mostly because it throws together dawn-of-the-internet visuals with smartphone ennui.
I think Unknown Death 2002 is a good album, but feel incapable of coherently arguing in favor of its artistic value. What it mainly leaves the listener with is a kind of bloated satisfaction. Just like Lean says in "Hurt," in what is maybe the most American line of all: "Luxurious / ate before my dinner."

Healthcare China To Acquire 36-Store Mor Furniture For Less
Healthcare Co., Ltd. has signed a letter of intent to acquire 36-store Mor Furniture for Less, the San Diego-based home furnishings retailer with estimated annual sales of more than $310 million. The company expects to pay more than $68.4 million for the retailer and the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of October. It also plans to operate the businesses separately, each with a different team of executives with direct reports to China.
Healthcare Co., Ltd. owns MLILY USA, a mattress manufacturer based in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The acquisition of one of the industry's leading retailers will give Healthcare a direct pipeline to better understand U.S. retailers and customers.
"The direct day-to-day contact with consumers through Mor's vibrant retail locations gives us the opportunity to gather critical information about consumer shopping behavior in the U.S.," said James Ni, chairman and chief executive officer of Healthcare Co. "Direct consumer interaction will help us hone our OEM product development and better serve our growing network of customers throughout the world."
Healthcare will acquire the chain from Mor Furniture founder Richard Haux Sr. and a number of other members of the Haux family. Haux founded the company in 1977 as a small waterbed store. Today, Mor operates large-format stores in seven states: California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico and Arizona.
The Mor acquisition will be the second retail acquisition by Healthcare in the last 18 months, but its first in the United States. Last year, Healthcare acquired Maxcolchon, a Spanish bedding manufacturer and retailer, and currently operates 57 stores across Spain.
About Healthcare Co.: Healthcare Co. is a global home furnishings juggernaut with 20 holding companies globally. Based in China it operates factories in there and in Serbia and Thailand. In addition to the United States, the company serves markets in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Germany's pilot Toni Finsterbusch claimed a 24th-place finish at the final of the Moto3 World Championship in Valencia, Spain – ending a season with many ups and downs on a conciliatory note.
The 20-year-old from Leipzig achieved fast lap times in the race on Sunday, staying in front of his following competitors. However, he failed to finish in the points. The track in Valencia is renowned to be difficult for drivers, wanting to march through the field from the back. "The most important thing is that I've crossed the finish line. In the end I've managed to achieve lap times of 1:42 minutes even though I had some troubles with the back wheel and slipped all the time," said Finsterbusch, who announced a challenge for next year: "I'll be back stronger next season", saying that he will give an update and news in the upcoming weeks.
Earning 323 points for the victory at the season final Spaniard Maverick Vinales also claimed the podium's top spot in the overall Moto3 rankings ahead of compatriots Alex Rins (311 points) and Luis Salom (302). After a crash in Valencia Salom, who headed the overall rankings for a long time, had to give up all hope of winning the title.

Dead at age 60, on Tuesday, singer-songwriter Phoebe Snow (Wikipedia page here, her own website here). Full of wry charm, with an instantly recognizable voice.
Her most famous song is "Poetry Man", about (among other things) female desire.
From "Poetry Man":
… You are a genie
And all I ask for is your smile
Each time I rub the lamp, la, la, la
When I am with you
I have a giggling teen-age crush
Then I'm a sultry vamp, ya, ya
Talk to me some more
You don't have to go
You're the Poetry Man
You make things all right, ya, ya …
The man turns out to be married.
Then, in my favorite song of hers, "The Married Men" (written by Maggie Roche), an extended clear-eyed and touching plaint on this theme:
One in Louisiana
One who travels around
One of 'em mainly stays in heart-throb town
I am not their main concern
They are lonely too
I am just an arrow passing through
When they look into my eyes
I know what to do
I make sure the words I say are true
When they send me off at dawn
Pay the driver my fare
They know I am goin' down somewhere
O the married men
The married men
Never would have had a good time again
If it wasn't for the married men
One says he'll come after me
Another one'll drop me a line
One says all o' my agony is in my mind
They know what is wrong with me
None of 'em wants my hand
Soloin' in my traveling wedding band
O the married men
The married men
Makes me feel like a girl again
To run with the married men
One of 'ems got a little boy
Other one he's got two
One of 'ems wife is one week overdue
I know these girls they don't like me
But I am just like them
Pickin' a crazy apple off a stem
Givin' it to the married men
The married men
All o' that time in hell to spend
For kissin' the married men
"My traveling wedding band" is especially nice, combining traveling band and wedding band.

Hi, guys. Today's post is going to look at some of the best free email encryption services currently available on the web. You might ask yourself, why can't I just use regular email? Of course, you can. However you should always bear in mind with regular email, a third party will be easily able to intercept and read the contents of your message without your knowledge. For most people, this should not be a big issue. However, it becomes a problem if you need to share sensitive information such as financial details or any details about yourself or others that you would not want a wider audience to know about. A rule of thumb is that you should never send sensitive information by regular email. Instead, you ought to use an email encryption service.
A lot of secure email providers will cost you. Protonmail, for example, is an excellent Swiss encrypted email service. However, they charge around $10 per month for the privilege.
For those of you on a budget but who also want secure encrypted communications, then today's post will be very interesting. Read on to find out about some of the best free email encryption services available now.
Sendinc provides a fast, free and simple way to send secure emails. They have some plans available. With the free plan you get the following:
- Military grade encryption of your emails.
- Retention of messages for a seven day period.
- 100 MB storage.
- Ten MB maximum size for one message.
- You can have up to 20 recipients every day.
If this is a little limited for your needs, then they have a "Pro" service that included unlimited message retention and expanded features such as 10GB message storage, 200 MB maximum message size and up to 200 recipients per day. With the Pro version, you also have some other interesting features such as custom message expiration and message retraction.
Another nice feature with sending is their Outlook add-in. With this enabled, you can continue using Outlook for emails - however, you will have an additional "send secure" button that you can use before sending. The recipient of your email will be able to view it as normal, with no software required other than their browser. It simply means that the email is encrypted and unable to be read by unauthorised third parties.
Sendinc is certainly a robust email encryption service. However, the limits that are placed on the free version of their service prevents it being the best free email encryption option at the moment.
With Lockbin, your email is not stored on their email server or stored in a backup location. They work with encrypted emails that go directly from one person to another, and the email does not persist. Using Lockbin will also thwart so-called "network sniffers" - programs that spy on email traffic while it is in transit across the internet. This is all great news if you want a secure and private communication line via email. Best of all, the services are completely free, with no catches.
People can use Lockbin to send information like credit card numbers or other personal information with a piece of mind.
How does this work?
First of all the email and file attachments are encrypted with AES-256 bit encryption. This is a highly robust encryption standard used by the United States government. Once the email is encrypted, you created a password, which acts as the "key" to unlock the encryption. You have to then give the recipient this password. Lockbin says the best way to do this is by phone, and not using the internet.
Bear in mind, that these guys are hosted in the USA. This is still an issue for some due to the recent NSA revelations. If the recipient does not delete the incoming email after viewing it, then Lockbin stores it for 24 hours.
Overall, this is certainly one of the best free email encryption services available at this time.
The free version of Virtru or "Basic" is an add-on to your regular email with Gmail or Outlook. It has the following features:
- Client side email encryption.
- Attachment encryption.
However, the free version lacks regulatory compliance, which is available with the free version of sendinc.
Overall the free version of virtu is a little lacking compared to some of the other services are out there. This is an OK service that integrates nicely with your regular email. However, I wouldn't consider it the finest free email encryption available.
Tutanota is an email encryption service that we have covered on this website before, and it is one that I can personally vouch for.
They are a Germany company that provides an open-source end-to-end encrypted email service for free. The name comes from the Latin "tuta nota" which means "secure message".
The encryption they provide tends to be more secure if both parties are using an encrypted email address. So ideally, if you are transferring sensitive information, make sure the person you are sending it to also has an encrypted email address, for instance with Tutanota.
They have a focus on usability and good design. This means you won't have to compromise on the features you are used to saying with Outlook or Gmail. The Tutanota email is nice to use, and also secure.
In my opinion, this is one of the foremost free email encryption services available and is just as good as premium services like Proton Mail.
Personally, out of the services covered today, my choice for the best free email encryption service has to be Tutanota. I prefer open source projects - I like the community spirit they have, where people contribute their talents for the right reasons to create something truly valuable.
However, if you do not want a whole new email address just for secure communications then consider using Sendinc or Virtru which integrates nicely with your existing email.
Realistically, it is going to be more air tight if your use a separate email address like Tutanota, and ensure that your recipient has an encrypted email address too.

While you are busy working on the computer, it can be annoying to see prompts that ask you to update your OS or anti-virus program. Some upgrades require some extra money. And some require that you reset your computer after the update. For whatever reason if you keep procrastinating on your software updates it can at some point it time interfere with the speedy performance of your computer. This is because these updates are probably related to providing the required code to your existing software to be virus or Spyware resistant and when you do not upgrade, your computer obviously becomes prone to attacks and eventually slows down in performance.

Introduction: How to Draw Dragons
This is my entry for Life's Burning Questions on How to Draw Dragons
In this Instructable, I will show you how to draw two types of dragons
Pleeease Gimme a plus if you like this instructable
This instructable is a beginners guide for drawing dragons. For a More In-Depth and advanced Instructable about drawing dragons, check out This Instructable by RocketScientist2015
Hope you like it!
Step 1: Know Your Dragons
- The European Dragon is the most common dragon. They're the ones you find on Disney movies, or the one on Shrek . They're big and very strong, and usually evil.
- The Chinese Dragon is a more rare type to see. They're long and snake-like with small extremities. Usually they're involved with magic and good luck.
On this instructable I will show you the basics for both types
Step 2: EuroDragon Step 1
For the Euro dragon, start by drawing its head. Its kinda like a T-Rex head.
Next draw its neck. Its basically two very long lines. Make one curved line and then another one in which you'll change the curve slightly.
Keep in Mind that part of this long neck will be the belly so you should considerate how big or skinny the dragon will be.
Step 3: EuroDragon Step 2
Now for the legs. The legs are divided into three sections. The first section is its thigh, which are usually quite big because they have to hold the weight of the dragon. The second section is the "leg". The third section is the feet. Its your decision how many finger it has, but almost it's almost always four. Remember to put some scary claws.
It's usually easier to draw one front leg and hide the other one.
Step 4: EuroDragon Step 3
European dragons don't always have wings, but its usually the most interesting trait.
To draw the wings, we must know how wings work. They're basically extra arms with long flaps of feathers, or in this case skin.
So to make the wings we must first make the bones. Basically you have to draw the branch of a tree. You have to considerate what shape you want the wing to be and how it will move.
Then simply fill the shape. Make half a circle from the tip of the wing's bones. Then make a line from the end of the half circle to the beginning of the bone. You could make any patter you like, I made a couple of curves, but you can make triangles or simply a straight line.
Please excuse the pictures I made this instructable on Christmas eve at 9:00pm so it was very dark.
Step 5: EuroDrag Step 4
OK Now. Let's finish up the body of the dragon. First We're gonna make the hind legs. Make a small circle under the wing, this will be the thigh.
This is very Important- The hind leg's thighs are very big because they hold most of the weight. The hind legs are also bigger than the front legs. But the feet are basically the same size. For the other leg simply draw half a leg, just like when you made the the front legs.
Next We're gonna make a Tail. The Tail is usually very long. It's a good idea to take a pencil that writes very lightly and trace the shape of the dragon through the wings, this way the tail will be in the right position.
Add a few spikes to the tail, gives a nice effect.
Step 6: Finishing Up the EuroDrag
Now make a line inside the neck that follows the curves. This line will go until the front leg, then continue it between the front leg and the hind leg.
Now make another line between the center line of the neck and the edge of the neck, remember to follow the curves. Now make V shapes between the center line and the left edge of the neck. This is the dragon's belly. You could also make U shapes instead of V shapes.
Step 7: The EuroDragon
Add some finishing details like spikes on the neck and a couple of nice horns. Make v shape in the snout as a nostril. The eye can be a decent eye or simply just a check mark. There You have an EuroDragon!
Step 8: The ChinaDragon
The chinese dragon is very different from the eurodrag. The Chinese Dragons NEVER! have wings. They can fly by pure magic. This is very important
It's body is basically a long tail. To Start this dragon make a basic tail shape.
The Legs of this dragon are very small. They're basically chicken feet. Make sure to give it bird-like talons
Also very important when making this dragon, it moves very fluidly, so remember to make a lot of curves when making its body
Step 9: ChinaDrag Step 2
The head of this dragon has a lot of decorations but the basic shape is tho doves looking in opposite directions (if you look at it sideways).Make a little nose too.
Remember to finish corner with sharp points.
The Back of the head is basically a lot of spikes. Try to make then facing diffrent directions so it doesn't end up looking like a wolf head.
Now Make another wall of spikes inside the head, kinda like cheeks. You could add a little tongue to add to the effect.
Step 10: ChinaDrag Step 3
Add a line of spikes along the dragon. Its a good idea to make them go a little inside the dragon, that way it'll look like it has more perspectives, this adds a LOT of effect and makes it look great.
Also make a little fire-like shape at the end of the tail, try to align it with the line of spikes, so they look connected.
Step 11: ChinaDrag Step 4
Now let's add a little belly so it looks even more fluid.
Make a line from the head to the front leg, following the curve! Fill the space between the line and the edge of the neck with U or V lines. In this case I used U shapes because I used V shapes in the eurodrag.
Finish it up by putting a couple of spikes in the legs for even more effect. You could also fill the empty spaces with a couple of lines for scales.
Hope this Helped! Merry Christmas!
Step 12: Painting the EuroDrag
The belly and the wings are usually a cream or yellow color. The bones of the wings have the same color as the skin.
The European dragon's color says a lot about it.
Black dragons are the toughest. They're the supreme dragons, and usually much bigger than others. Bigger wings, longer horns, these guys are the worst.
Red dragons signify strength. Usually they're stronger than other dragons, or can sustain tougher conditions.
Purple dragons signify that they're special. They have a quality that only they posses. Examples of these dragons are Spyro, a little dragon who always beats the bigger ones. Or the one from Shrek, ( I mean she fell in love with a donkey, you don't see that in a lot of movies)
Yellow aren't very common. They signify that they're much fiercer than other dragons. Usually they have many more horns than others.
Green dragons are the most common. They're usually the weakest and smallest.
Personally I like to press the pencil when coloring them to give them a tough scaly look
With the help of some photoshop, I was able to paint the dragon a diffrent color.
Step 13: Painting the ChinaDragon
Its a good idea to paint the "Chicken" part of their legs with a brown color. The belly is usually a white or cream color.
The spikes are ALMOST ALWAYS a red or orange color.
The China dragon is usually painted in 3 colors
Yellow or Gold dragons signify divinity, they're ultra superpowerful!! (They're my favorite)
Green dragons are the more common. They represent magic and luck
Blue dragons are guardians. Usually tey have more features like chains ans stuff. They also differ from the other dragons, in the color of their spikes. They have dark blue spikes to ignify that they're different.
There is a legend that says the guardian of the east is the blue dragon, which is why you see these in chinese culture around building and stuff.

It's like with your own eyes. Ocular injuries can also cause permanent damage to the surface. Often a result of trauma during everyday events, eye injuries usually require immediate veterinary care because even the smallest eye injury can develop into an infected wound or lead to loss of vision.
Some common eye injuries:
Corneal laceration
A cut or scratch
to the eye surface
Corneal ulcer
From chemicals, debris
or rubbing
Puncture wound
From any foreign body
in the eye
Eyelid trauma

reducing the time your pet is in pain, needing bandages or wearing "the cone of shame"1
Engineered for convenience:
enhanced duration means fewer applications each day
Formulated for precise dosing:
the aqueous gel consistency is easy to control without globbing or dripping
Protects and hydrates with every blink:
creates a sheer barrier on the ocular surface
Sooths and comforts:
the thin consistency of the gel feels good in the eye without blurring. It also minimizes friction when your pet blinks to reduce risk of repeat injury
Formulation based on naturally occurring substances found in the body:
contains no preservative or synthetic additives that cause pain or stinging
Caution: Oculenis is only available by or on the order of a veterinarian. Pets with eye injuries should consult their veterinarian for proper treatment.
*When compared to a standard lubricating eye drop without bioengineered HA.
1 Williams DL, Wirostko BM,Gum G, Mann BK. Topical cross-linked HA-based hydrogel accelerates closure of corneal epithelial defects and repair of stromal ulceration in companion animals. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2017;58:4616–4622. DOI:10.1167/iovs.16-20848
Don't put your pet's eyes at risk.
If you see them squinting, avoiding bright lights, excessively blinking or if you observe excessive tear production or watery, green or yellow discharge, seek veterinary advice immediately.
In severe situations, your veterinarian may recommend taking your pet to a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist for specialty care.
Pet parent-friendly dosing
Simply apply 1 to 2 drops directly onto the injured eye. The natural movement of the eyelid will distribute the gel over the eye surface.
Apply a minimum of 2 times daily until the eye injury is repaired based on your veterinarian's recommendations.

Tony Dungy is one of the most important Black figures in NFL history, who has broken barriers on and off the field. Tony Dungy frequently finds himself in problematic situations that impede the community that he intends to do right by. Two things can be true at the same time.
Earlier this week, Dungy took part in a press conference in which a new bill was signed into law in Florida that will provide $70 million in funding to various programs that address fatherhood, including things like mentorship programs for at-risk youth and services that will give fathers the necessary resources to handle their child support responsibilities.
"I asked [Abe Brown], how do those young boys (19, 20, 21) get [in prison]? And he told me it's not socio-economic, it's not racial, it's not education, it's none of that. 95% of these boys did not grow up with their dad," Dungy explained at the press conference. The former Tampa Bay Bucs head coach was on hand because he supports the bill and all that it stands for because he has an organization called "All Pro Dad" whose mission is to help men "love and lead" their family well."
Sounds like a great idea, right?
This is one of those situations in which the letter of the law seems just until you realize that it's written with coded language that makes the spirit of it problematic. Every time terms like "at-risk youth" are used and things like child support are mentioned, you can be sure that it's being directed at people in Black and Brown communities as if youth can't be "at risk" in the suburbs. In case you didn't know, being a baby daddy with child support issues isn't reserved for Black people.
Something that seems so pure on first glance, like helping fathers rehabilitate their situations and homes, isn't the issue. The problem arises when you realize where the bill was signed into the law, who authorized it, and how Dungy is being used to make this look like a feel-good story when it's an example of how respectability politics are so damaging.
With Dungy standing behind him, and flanked by his children, and kids and fathers of different races, Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill-7065 into law on Monday in Tampa. The image is a far cry from the one we saw of DeSantis last month at a different press conference.
"You do not have to wear those masks," DeSantis said as he snapped at a group of students from the University of South Florida. "Please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this COVID theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous."
Fact check: More than 73,000 people have died of COVID-19 in Florida. But the man that was elected to govern them believes that wearing masks is "theater" as if it were satire.
Beyond the countless things that DeSantis has done while in office to make Florida arguably the worst state in the nation, he's been in the news recently for being the first governor to sign a "Don't Say Gay" bill into law that marginalizes the LGBTQ+ community by outlawing teachers to discuss sexual orientation and gender identity in grades from kindergarten through third.
Side note, DeSantis was once again flanked by kids/students during that press conference, as he's figured out that it's good optics to be surrounded by youth whenever he's about to say/sign something that contradicts that image.
But, let's get back to Dungy, and why his approving of legislation that DeSantis signed into law is on-brand for him, as he's often an apologist for racists.
"It is just so important," said Dungy about the fatherhood law that DeSantis signed on Monday. "It's going to allow groups like ours, people like you, to do great things for our fathers here in Florida." The governor then spoke about how much he appreciates Dungy, and how he's "doing the Lord's work."
However, God don't like ugly. And being homophobic is one of the most hideous things a person can be. As you probably guessed, Dungy and DeSantis are both homophobes.
In 2014, Dungy publicly discussed why he wouldn't have drafted Michael Sam when he was trying to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. "Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it," he hatefully explained.
A few years later, the kneeling started. Dungy was willing and ready to be the Black mouthpiece that bigots needed once again to get on TV and talk about why bringing awareness to racism and police brutality wasn't a good look, because to him when it came to getting a message across, "the best way is not three minutes before the national anthem." Dungy also went on FOX News to proclaim that he believes "standing is the way to go." He would go on to say that he felt like teams around the league viewed Colin Kaepernick — a man that didn't commit a crime — in the same way as Michael Vick and Joe Mixon, a man that went to prison and another that was caught on video knocking a woman out. That was followed by Dungy wondering if Kaepernick's desire to return to the field after he circumvented the sham of a workout that the league unsuccessfully tried to put on for him. Three years later, Kaepernick is still working out and posting videos expressing his desire to return to the league if given an opportunity.
In 2007, Dungy became the first Black coach to ever win a Super Bowl. Earlier this week, the Indianapolis Colts announced the first two members of the inaugural Tony Dungy Diversity Fellowship that was announced in March that will provide the organization "with access to talented coaches while also fostering and expanding the team's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives," in the wake of Brian Flores' lawsuit against the league and multiple franchises.
Tony Dungy is a man that has built bridges and knocked down walls and glass ceilings in the name of inclusion and diversity. Tony Dungy is a man that has obstructed progress with his words, and has willingly been used by Conservatives to the detriment of Black and Brown people. Two things can be true at the same time.
