Celebrate World Smile Day
Sometimes all it takes to make the day better is a smile, whether it’s one someone gives to you, or one you share with another. Little acts of kindness can bring a shining smile to someone who has otherwise had a terrible day, and it can change everything that follows.
Whether it’s just a simple compliment, a cheery hello, or a gift of something small to help brighten their day, World Smile Day encourages you to take action to bring a few more smiles into the world.
History of World Smile Day
It was a simple thing, a circle with a few dots and an upturned curve, but put together Harvey Ball created one of the most iconic symbols the world had ever seen, and it would quickly come to infect everything from graffiti to modern day emoji’s.
We are, of course, talking about the smiley face, arguably the first emoji to enter the world. Harvey would later express concern that the sheer commercialization of his little symbol would strip it of its original intent and meaning.
It was out of this concern that he created World Smile Day, a day devoted to the spreading of simple joy and love to everyone, regardless of race, gender, or geographic location.
Harvey sadly passed from this world in 2001, but the foundation he helped create, the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation, has carried forth his message of simple peace and love as the sponsor of World Smile Day every year.
Whether you’re simply expressing a bit of silliness or doing a small act of kindness to help someone smile, World Smile Day is your opportunity to help brighten the world and make the world a better place through the simple power of the smile.
He went back to bed,
With a bump on his head,
That's why you don't jump off a wall.

However, you get along with others and have the necessary "people skills" to do so, although occasionally, your impatience comes through! You are proud and not always willing to ask for help. You are eager to work hard for what you want, and you generally appear confident. You have a good head for business, and you are also quick to respond to changes. Famous people born today:

4.Coronavirus Style by Sylvia, CAN DO CorrespondentGoogle turns a blind eye as data of 30+ million users is still being leaked
READERS INFO
In total, our Investigations team found user tables in 14 top Android apps with 142.5 million collective installs. Thankfully, the four apps I mentioned above have had their issues fixed and no longer have their databases exposed to potential threat actors.
However, nine of the app developers have neither fixed all of their misconfigurations, nor responded to our repeated warnings.
To address the situation, we first reached out to Google on September 14 and asked them to help the developers secure their Firebase real-time databases.
Having received an automated response without a follow-up, we made another attempt at contacting Google via their press office three days later. The end result was identical: an automated reply email without any follow-up or explanation.
Needless to say, without input from Google, the leaks of those apps have not been plugged.
As of the time of this writing, Google still has not responded to our queries, while nine popular Android apps are potentially leaking the data of at least 30.5 million users.
We hope that the release of this investigation will prompt Google to react and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
Note: As soon as we hear back from Google and the misconfigurations are fixed, we will update the article to include all the exposed apps our researchers discovered.
