"There is no better drink than water is" -the old proverb says. You will not believe it, but citizens of Sarajevo, after a long absence from the country,prefer to drink plain water from the tap than any other drinks.
Public fountains with drinking water are unusual and decorative symbols of Sarajevo for already several centuries. These "lifeline" serve primarily for the local population, but also for traveler to stop and drink the fresh, cold water and to continue his trip. As Sarajevo is situated in the valley, many settlements are scattered throughout the hilly and high areas without drinking water, so those taps served to have fresh water at any time. Since there are many public fountains in Sarajevo, there are many stories and legends about them, as well. Some fountains were the motives of various souvenirs, while some found their place on the canvases and works of art. They testify to the old tradition and to represent a significant monument in the cultural heritage of Bosnia and Hercegovina. According to the historical records of the Archives of Sarajevo, during the late 19th century, there were 152 public fountains in the city. Now there are only 30. Fountains slowly disappear and perish. City authorities in 1995 decided to restore and repair some of them. The program of reconstruction of the old fountains include a total of 41, which had to be reconstructed and restored. According to this program, many neglected and decayed fountains have been restored. The most famous Sarajevo fountain is certainly Sebilj at Baščaršija, which was renovated in 2006. From this part of the city there is a famous saying, "Whoever drinks the water from Bascarsija, constantly returns to Sarajevo." During 2006, thanks to the city authorities Bistrica fountain have been restored.
Restoration of public fountains called Theresa in the old town hall Toka-Dzeka, completed at the end of 2015 years. This fountain is of great importance for this part of the city, because hilly settlements such as Bistrik, Jarčedoli Mahmutovac, Sirokaca, Bostarić, Komatin, Soukbunar and beyond have water supplies. Fountains are natural source of drinking water. Another oddity is related to the fountain Theresa, is the fact this fountain have been restored thanks to the personal donation of local resident of Sarajevo in memory of her mother. Many fountains in the city have also restored thanks to the personal donations of residents of Sarajevo: The fountain in Ulomljenica, on Bjelave, Abdesthana, Feredžuša, Jedileri, Balibegovica, Vrbanjuša,a fountain in Požegina Street and White fountain.
Either way, the fountain were unusual and the undisputed symbol of the city. We sincerely hope that it will remain so.

Since the parents' interests can differ from those of the child, New Jersey law allows a judge to step in and represent the child's interests when evaluating child support agreements. This type of judicial intervention is allowed because a child can't effectively argue for his or her own rights. Under the principle of parens patriae, a judge has the power to modify the terms of a child support agreement or replace the agreement altogether. Parens patriae is a legal term in which the Latin phrasing means "parenting by the nation." It is a concept that allows a judge to determine what is in the best interest of the child.
New Jersey's views on emancipation can also prompt a judge to alter a child support agreement. A child support obligation terminates when a child is emancipated, and although the child's 18th birthday is legally significant, there is no fixed age when emancipation occurs. Before turning 18, a child may be emancipated by marriage, by joining the military, or by a court order.
Emancipation can also be delayed if the child has special medical needs or if the parents are supporting a child who is attending college. This means a child may be entitled to continued financial support well into his or her twenties, a fact that can catch some parents off guard. Parents may enter into a child support agreement that purports to end on the child's 18th birthday, only to find that the termination date was off by a factor of years.
New Jersey judges have a strong interest in regulating child support agreements. Child support is a technical issue that requires an understanding of New Jersey child support laws as well as the precedents created by our courts. The principles of parens patriae and emancipation are just two ways in which our state's legal system can add complexity to your child support arrangement.
Child support agreements can deeply affect the finances of both the parents and the children for decades into the future. When you need to create or modify a child support agreement, you should talk to a New Jersey child support attorney who understands child support legislation as well as case law. Contact Mark Goldstein, Esq. his firm of child support attorneys at Goldstein Law Group by calling 732-967-6777, or use the contact link on this page to request a consultation.

The internet is changing so quickly, it is hard to keep up with internet marketing techniques. Even experienced internet marketers have trouble keeping up with the changes. For new internet marketers, it can be even more difficult, and easy to become confused. Internet marketing changes so quickly that it can be tough to get ahead and stay ahead. Just like in any other business, however, it is important to stay ahead of the curve.
Focus is important. In internet marketing, you need to keep your focus on your current customers, and your potential customers. If you don't keep your customers in mind, then you will not be able to build a successful marketing strategy. It is vital to know who your market is, and what your market wants and needs. You will also need to know how to talk to your customers, and give them what they need as do seo London.
All internet marketing is, is a way of selling goods and services over the internet. That is all that it really means. Most internet marketers have purchased goods and services over the internet. What becomes difficult is for them to become a seller instead of a buyer. It isn't always easy to make the switch. As with any business, an internet marketer needs a great product or service that the customers need, a good website, which serves as your company's shop window, and some solid techniques to make your business grow. You will also need to know how to offer a better experience for your customers than your competition.
You cannot start an internet marketing campaign by simply trying to sell your products or services. That may sound odd, considering that your money will come from selling to your customers. The first and most important thing that you need to do is to build trust with your customers. If you just try to sell something to someone, they will most likely hold on to their money, and go elsewhere. If customers do not trust you, they will not buy from you. So, the first thing you need to work on is building relationships with your customers.
Instead of simply trying to sell your products immediately, try telling the visitors about your products first. These may seem like the same thing, but the difference is really important.
It is so important to build up trust. When your customers see your company and products as real, they will be much more likely to trust you. They will value your opinions when they see you as the expert in your field.
Once you establish your website and services, you can do several things to establish yourself as an expert, and to build up trust with your customers. You can write a blog about your products or services. Remember to tell about your products, and not simply try to sell. SEO, or search engine optimization is also important in order to get the search engines to notice your website. E-mail marketing is also another valuable internet marketing technique for you to use.
With a little effort, you can build a relationship and trust with your customers, and have a successful internet business. Good luck with your internet marketing journey.

"He came from a long line of sharecroppers," was one of the terms Bertie Davidson used to describe her father as we talked while sitting on her front porch one Monday afternoon recently. Bertie called to ask if she could share the story of her parents with me sometime, and we arranged for a time to sit and talk. Bertie's brother, J.B. Harris, was also there to share in this time of remembering. And as the story unfolded, I was more than glad she had called.
Bertie's parents, Luther Harris and Bell (Brown) Harris, were married June 26, 1929, at the home of Jake Shelton on Highland Mountain. Bell was working for the Sheltons at the time she and Luther got acquainted. In exchange for room and board, Bell did housework for the Sheltons, and Luther did work as a sharecropper with farmers in the area. Neighbors and friends of the families attended the wedding. The young couple took up housekeeping in a small one room house on the Shelton property, and by the time the two oldest of the children were born, Luther and Bell had moved to another one room house they rented on property owned by Ben Vaughn. There were two stoves in the Vaughn house, one used for heating, the other for cooking. When Bertie was around the age of five years, the house caught fire and burned to the ground. The only thing saved were some clothes Luther was able to get out by using a pole to reach in the burning house and lift them from off the back of a chair. The Herman Hooten families, who were their neighbors, took them in for a while, and it was Mr. Hooten who got on a wagon one day and drove the entire loop around Highland Mountain gathering things from everyone who lived along the road to give to the Harris family so they might begin housekeeping once more.
After losing everything they owned in the fire, a two-room house was built by Lou Oakley at York Gap where the Harris family later moved into. Luther worked for Mr. Oakley, someone all the Harris children knew as Uncle Lou, and his wife was known to them as Aunt Sally. Mr. Oakley, who was a farmer, also had a woodworking shop, and was also kind enough to build some furniture for their house. Bertie remembers a table he built for them, along with a meal chest, and other items he crafted by hand especially for their family.
As time went by, a total of ten children was added to the Harris family, but three of the ten died when only a few days' old. Those children who died were twin boys, Billy C. and Joe L., and a daughter named Audie Mae. The names of the children in the order of their births are: Bertie; M.L.; L.N.; Jerry; Billy C and Joe L; Audie Mae; Carrie Lou, J.B., and Bessie Lee.
Because of Luther Harris' work as a sharecropper, he moved his family around quite a bit over the next several years. At one time, the family lived on a farm known as the Millard Harris place on the banks of Roaring River. The house was located in a horse shoe bend of the river, and while they lived there, the river overflowed its banks, and 8 inches of water flooded the house. A bridge that crossed the river nearby was also washed away during this flood. Martin Hooten and his family took the Harris family in and allowed them to stay at their house until they could return to their own home.
The Harris children went to school at places called Guinea Hill, Highland school, and Union Academy. Mr. Harris told his children how he didn't get too far in school because of a story that was in a primer book he saw when he was in school at Oklahona. He told them that in this book there was a picture of a bear holding a man down, and that looking at that picture scared him so badly, he got up and went home. That story ended his education. He never learned to read or write.
The Harris children helped with the work involved on a farm such as planting crops, pulling fodder, canning vegetables from the garden, and raising hogs. They walked or rode in a wagon everywhere they went. Their clothes were mostly hand-me-downs, but Bertie fondly remembers the very first pair of store-bought dress slippers her father got for her. She was twelve years old at the time. She said she will never forget how proud she was of that pair of shoes.
Wash day for Bell Harris always was done on a rub board. Water was heated in an iron kettle in the yard and the clothes were placed in the boiling water. When Bertie was 17 years old, she got a job at the shirt factory in Livingston, and one of the first things she bought her mother was a wringer washing machine. Bell Harris was so happy with this modern invention, which for many months afterward, she invited all her neighbors to come to their house and use her new washing machine. And most all the ladies she invited took her up on this kind offer too. Bertie remembers how some would come and wait their turn to wash in Bell's wonderful new time saving device, even though the water they used had to be carried about a fourth of a mile to the house.
After living many years in several different locations, Luther and Bell and their daughters, Bessie, have shared a home in Monterey for many years now. Bessie purchased the property, and the home was built by her brothers. This home was the first place Luther and Bell has lived that had an indoor bathroom. And it was Bertie again who bought her mother another new and more modern invention. This time it was an automatic washer and a dryer to go with it. Bell's health is still quite good, but Luther now suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The family all shares in the responsibility and work involved in the care of their parents. Bessie quit her job working outside the home to help with the care of her mom and dad, but every night, one of the brothers comes to stay so Bessie may rest. Each of the brothers has a regular night to stay. The sisters have certain days they do their share in the caring of their parents.
But probably one of the most touching things about Luther and Bell's lives together is that they have also raised their grandson, Bobby Harris, who is now 46 years old, and still lives with them. Bobby's story is pretty amazing in itself. He was born with cerebral palsy, but that wasn't the only thing that he faced as an infant. His mother, the wife of L.N. Harris, died giving birth to him. In order to help their son deal with not only a new baby, but the loss of his wife, Bell and Luther took Bobby to raise and have cared for him ever since. Bertie described Bobby as someone who would not appear to be aware at all of his surroundings, but just the opposite is true. Bobby has never spoken a word, yet he is a very smart young man. At one time, he had a home bound teacher who worked with him, but several years ago, Bobby, with the help of Lowell Allen, has developed a system on a computer whereby he can communicate. Cerebral palsy has left Bobby in a semi-fetal position, so using his hands is not possible. But with the use of a head band that has a rod attached, he types on the computer by moving his head from place to place. Just recently, Bobby has gotten another machine that by knowing where to type, a voice can communicate his needs for him. He loves to help out by doing little things like addressing envelopes. He's done this quite often for his Aunt Bertie. When it came time to pay monthly bills, Bobby addressed the envelopes she needed to get this job done. But addressing envelopes is just one of the many skills he has developed. He does blueprints, he designs cabinets, and he does artistic things such as the drawing of a log cabin. The one that is shown with this story was completed in March of 1995, and was given to Bertie's husband, Lewis. From what Bertie told me, Lewis and Bobby like to pull pranks on each other. Bobby sent a picture to Lewis once he had done on the computer using an actual picture of Lewis, but in that picture he placed a very young and attractive blond from a catalogue by his side. His wonderful sense of humor can be seen in spite of his inability to communicate in what we consider a normal way.
Luther Harris will be 99 years old on August 24, 2003, and Bell will be 98 September 7. Mr. Harris still has all his natural teeth, doesn't need glasses, and does not have a problem hearing well. He and Bell have been married 74 years. Most of their lives were lived without having hardly anything we consider as necessities today, but not having material possessions didn't make a bit of difference in the love and devotion this family seems to be blessed with. The Harris family now includes ten grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and seven great-great grandchildren whose roots go back to the days of when life consisted of hard work as a sharecropper and one who worked in homes in exchange for room and board. Even though Luther and Bell Harris might not have had worldly riches, they raised a fine family who are completely devoted to their parents and to each other as well. If Bobby could speak to us, I feel sure he would be the first to agree with that.
After this story was written, Luther Harris passed away on August 23, 2003. He was one day short of his 99th birthday.

Q: How to select elements from a handelbars template? We have a div within our webpage:

    ...

We select the relevant elements from this div using the following jQuery code:
var person = $("#person-details");
var children = release.find("div");
var fullname = children.first();

We use a render function to perform an ajax request to get a handlebars template that we're storing in an external file:
function _render() {
    var templateScript;
    template.getTemplate(filename).done(function(template) {
        templateScript = Handlebars.compile(template);
        fullname.html(templateScript(context));
    });
}

The template looks like the following:

{{name}}

{{value}}

After the render function has been called, we want to select any of the elements from within the template. For example we have tried using:
fullname.children('div');
but as the content has been dynamically generated we aren't able to get the nodes from within the DOM.
Is it even possible to select elements from within a generated handlebars template like this?

A: Thanks to @DanielShillcock for highlighting render() being asynchronous. Here is a solution:
function _render() {
    var templateScript;
    template.getTemplate(filename).done(function(template) {
        templateScript = Handlebars.compile(template);
        selector.html(templateScript(attribute));
        value = selector.find("div");
    });
}

4. Unpack the dhcpdtftpd-x.y.tar.gz archive.
5. Copy the contents of the directory named disk to the diskette with the syslinux bootloader.
Now you have a bootable diskette with the DHCP & TFTP server on it.
Configure the network interface(s) of the server by editing the rc.net file on the diskette. If you are not familiar with Linux networking, just modify the included example according to your network setup.
If you have multiple network cards, repeat step 1 for each card. It is important that a default route is set to every network interface that serves DHCP requests.
The easiest way to find out which ethernet interface corresponds to a network card is to setup all network cards and connect only one network card and ping the server. Connect the cable to all the cards one by one and mark the card where you get an answer to the ping.
Configure the DNS server in resolv.conf. You can specify several nameserver lines for several DNS servers.
Configure the DHCP server in dhcpd.conf. If you are not familiar with the ISC DHCPD, try to modify the example configuration. Read the dhcpd.conf manual, the dhcp-options manual and the dhcpd manual for more information.
The TFTP server is enabled by default and has nothing to configure. Put files to be available via TFTP into the tftp directory on the diskette.
The Web management interface is enabled by default. The htpasswd file contains username/password pairs for the web-server. To disable access control delete this file. The included example defines a user "admin" with password "admin". You can use the standard NCSA htpasswd program to change the password or add users.
To disable the web server (and web management) altogether put a # in front of the line starting with mini-httpd in rc.boot.
rc.boot is the main startup file. It calls rc.net to setup the network and starts the DHCP and TFTP server. Normally there is no need to change anything in it, but you can further adapt the server to your needs in this file (e.g. change the port the web server listens to, disable the interactive shell to prevent people from "playing" around, etc.).
This is all configuration neccessary to get a running DHCP & TFTP server.
By default the DHCP server is started on console 2 and the TFTP server on console 3. Press Alt and a F-Key (e.g. Alt+F2) to switch between consoles. On console 1 (the default console) an interactive shell is started. In this shell you can type commands to get information about the server configuration or troubleshoot it. For real debugging a basic knowledge of Linux networking is neccessary.
* The server answers echo requests so that you can ping it to check wether it is available.
The diskette contains a Linux kernel and a small RAM disk with the neccessary programs. The server runs completely in RAM, it does not need a HD (it won't touch any installed HD). The configuration files are read from the diskette during startup and all files on the diskette are exported via TFTP.
Hardware: Minimum 586 with 16MB RAM, network cards (3C905, Intel100, some NE2000), 1.44" diskette drive. The server supports as many network cards as you can fit into the computer.
Software:Windows 9x/NT/2000 or Linux to make diskette, Webbrowser for management (optional). You will need syslinux to create the boot disk. For remote booting with PXE I recommend BpBatch, this is what I made this server for originally (If you don't need the TFTP server, you probably won't need BpBatch either).
DHCP: The DHCP server is the standard ISC DHCPD server version 2.0pl5.
TFTP: The TFTP server is the extended TFTP server from bootix as mentioned in the Linux Mini-Howto on the BpBatch site.
HTTP: The webserver is the mini_httpd from ACME Labs, a tiny HTTP server with CGI support. The web management is done via 4 shell scripts.
Only dhcpd.conf, rc.boot, rc.net, htpasswd, resolv.conf need to be changed by the user. The other files do not contain any changable settings.

You've heard great things about memory foam mattresses – they're so comfortable, they allow you to sleep peacefully through the night, they don't transfer motion, etc.
However, you now find yourself dealing with the top complaint of memory foam mattress owners – they can get extremely warm. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help.
Continue reading to discover how to make a memory foam mattress cooler.
Should I Use All Of These Tactics To Stay Cool?
Why Is My Memory Foam Mattress So Warm?
One of the best things you can do is to try and cool yourself down. If you can manage to do this your memory foam mattress will not retain all this heat since it is being dispersed, thus preventing you from overheating.
We highly recommend turning on your AC unit if your current situation and climate allows for it.
Make sure the unit is set up properly so the hot air leaves the room, otherwise you risk simply wasting electricity and staying warm.
Point a fan at yourself in order to keep yourself cool. This will work even better if you have air conditioning in your room since it will allow for a cool air current to circulate throughout the room and thus will keep you cool.
You can still do this even if you do not have air conditioning on, although it will be less effective.
Additionally, having a fan running in the room may also help you fall asleep by creating a white noise effect. This is a fantastic, easy to implement way to stay cool and sleep better.
If you don't have air conditioning in your room, there is a simple trick you can do – place a large bowl of ice in front of your fan, and make sure that it is facing you while you sleep.
This will help keep you cool throughout the night.
We're not going to lie – we think that pulling the comforters up over yourself and snuggling into your bedding is one of the best parts of the day.
However, if your covers are making you too warm, you are going to overheat, and then your memory foam mattress will become excessively hot as well.
However, you can use this thick, comfortable padding to your advantage during the dog days of summer when your room is too hot.
Try sleeping on top of your comforter. This will provide a buffer zone between your heat and the heat-retaining properties of your memory foam mattress.
If need be, you can actually use a less hot blanket to cover you while you sleep. Additionally, you can also use your sheets, or if it is extremely warm, nothing at all.
There are a variety of mattress toppers and mattress protectors that have cooling properties. These work by providing a buffer layer between you and your memory foam mattress.
Oftentimes they use a cooling material for your overall comfort, and other times they use general padding to make the top of the mattress feel more or less firm.
Look for a mattress topper with cooling potential that will fit on your current memory foam mattress. This will keep you cool throughout the night – we highly recommend it.
Moisture-wicking sheets use special fabrics to wick away any moisture from your body while you sleep. This helps keep you cool throughout the night, especially if you are prone to sweating in your sleep.
Replace your original sheets with moisture wicking sheets and you will stay cool all evening long.
Additionally, there are a variety of moisture-wicking sheets available that have built-in cooling systems in place – consider using these as well.
If you do not want to spring for new sheets that is fine, but you need to make sure you are sleeping on the right type of sheet for the season.
Linen sheets are far and above the best sheets for the summer (or someone in a hot climate year round) since they breathe tremendously well – even better than cotton.
The freezer trick is a fun one – simply place your sheets in a bag in the freezer for a few minutes before bed. Take them out and place them on your bed and go to sleep.
The frozen sheets will feel wonderful for a few minutes but keep in mind, this is just a temporary solution.
Your body heat will warm up the sheets and eventually they will return to their normal temperature. However, in the interim, you will feel cool and wonderful.
This is another simple yet effective thing you can do to stay cool while you sleep. Put an ice pack – preferably one not made out of ice but instead made out of gel – in your bed while you sleep.
Use it on problem areas such as your head or body to help keep you cool.
Keep in mind that it is important to make sure that there is no moisture on the ice pack when it comes out of the frozen. Otherwise, it will melt and soak your bed.
Yes, in theory, you can use all of these tactics to stay cool while sleeping on your memory foam mattress. However, chances are you only really need to implement a few.
The two most powerful tactics by far are too lower in the temperature in your room using an air conditioner or a fan, and also make sure you are sleeping on a gel mattress protector with cooling properties.
These two things alone will almost definitely keep you cool while you sleep. If not, feel free to implement various other techniques found on this list.
Memory foam mattresses store body heat for a few reasons. The first of which is that memory foam changes and adjusts to your own body shape, which is great when it comes to comfort.
However, because it contorts to your body shape so efficiently, it does a great job of retaining your body heat, which is not always desirable.
The second reason why memory foam can be uncomfortably warm is due to the material itself. As you overheat, the memory foam material actually becomes more lose, thus allowing you to sink in further and further trap your body heat.
Memory foam mattresses are fantastic for a number of reasons. They are used in creating some of the best mattresses, pillows, and pillow tops in the world. However, it can be tricky dealing with the inevitable heating issues they can cause.
Fortunately, with this list of great tips and tricks, you can stay cool and enjoy your mattress in even the warmest of climates. We hope you have enjoyed reading this article.

Lytton Wilmot Shatford (February 4, 1873 - November 8, 1920) was a politician and businessman in British Columbia, Canada.

Biography
Born in Hubbards, Nova Scotia, he moved west during one of the British Columbia gold rushes where he and his brother, Walter Tyrrel Shatford, ran a general store in the gold mining town of Fairview near what is now Oliver. They also owned the Shatford Mercantile Store in Hedley which was one of the town's first permanent structures.

In 1905, the brothers established the Southern Okanagan Land Company. They proceeded to purchase and subdivide land north of the Canada/US border and installed in irrigation system in the area of Vaseux Lake. In 1918, they sold  to the government of British Columbia for $300,000 in order to settle demobilized Canadian soldiers following World War I.

Shatford was elected to the British Columbia Legislative Assembly in the 1903 provincial election as a Conservative representing the riding of Similkameen. He remained in the legislature until 1917 when he was appointed to the Senate of Canada by Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden. He died in office at Vancouver General Hospital from a stroke on November 8, 1920.

He was the second president of the BC and Yukon Chamber of Mines, founded in 1912. The first president was Robert Hedley. Shatford was elected at the organization's first annual general meeting in 1913.

The Shatford School, now part of Penticton Secondary School in Penticton, British Columbia was named in his honour.

An encounter with the police can make us freeze up or "leave" our bodies in the moment. Repeated over time, experiences of aggression or harm at the hands of police can seem to pile up and keep us from feeling and acting like ourselves. This guide exists to help you stay connected to yourself, your streets and your support system so you can communicate what you need in these situations.

It is very important to clean your teeth in order to maintain a healthy mouth. Dr. Sandler, your dentist in San Diego, may recommend a deep cleaning if you have not been having professional cleanings, maintaining your home care and your gums are showing signs of pocketing, heavy tartar, bleeding and inflammation. Before you head in for that appointment, why not know exactly what's in store?
Deep cleaning involves cleaning the surfaces below the gum line. These are areas that you can't reach by brushing and flossing and have heavier plaque and tartar buildup which could ultimately lead to gum disease, receding gums, and other complications.
When you visit your dentist in the Del Mar area for a deep cleaning she will begin by ensuring you are comfortable and numb in order to scale the teeth to remove the accumulation of plaque and tartar. Once the plaque is removed Dr. Sandler then begins planning (smoothing) the enamel to provide a smooth surface where the gums can reattach.
Getting a deep cleaning from your Encinitas area dentist is a simple procedure that can make a world of difference for your teeth and gums. Afterwards, there might be some increased sensitivity in the mouth but nothing that can't be treated with some ibuprofen and/or topical fluoride applications if necessary.
If you are concerned about receding gums or periodontitis, don't hesitate to reach out to Solana Family Dental to schedule an appointment or consultation. Dr. Sandler is a trusted dentist in San Diego who has been treating local families for years. Call 858-345-1960 or click here to speak to a friendly staff member.

Music NFTs – Scam? Or A New Paradigm For The Music Industry?
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year or so, you have probably heard of NFTs. Non-fungible tokens are cryptographically signed tokens on the blockchain that represent digital or physical assets.
They could be any kind of artwork, a piece of real estate, product or any intellectual property. Music-NFTs and the blockchain in general are set to disrupt the music industry – the decentralised nature of the technology could be the remedy to the problems that plague the centralised, top-down music business.
Disclaimer: I do not recommend investing in digital art and speculating on a rise in value in the short term. I do not recommend investing in anything that you have not thoroughly researched.
This article is NOT intended to lure you into investing in cryptocurrencies, NFTs or any get-rich-quick schemes.
It has become almost a cliché, but I have to say it. I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice.
The hype around NFTs – predominantly screenshots and digital artwork – has made a few investors a lot of money, and a lot of people FOMO'd in and lost their investments, were scammed or otherwise duped.
The negative connotations are understandable. Yet every new technology gives bad actors an opportunity to manipulate others into parting with their hard-earned cash. Websites can be used to scam people, as can emails, WhatsApp messages, even phone calls. Hell, banks scam people out of their money every day, investing savings in stocks and bonds, the profits of which are not shared with the customer.
Musicians are being scammed daily by Spotify, and it has become the norm.
This article is not about speculation. It is about the possible developments in the music industry over the next 5-10 years with a technology that could be used to automatically compensate content creators for their art, eliminating the inherent problems of a system in which the product has become worth less than its distribution.

In 2021, the internet and Twitter especially went crazy over NFTs when 8-bit cartoon works of "art" were bought and sold for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars as the hype went viral. It was a classic case of the Gartner Hype Curve – a new and exciting technology pumped the expectations of speculators and the perceived worth of the computer-game-render NFTs went through the roof.
As we see on the chart above, the peak of inflated expectations gives way to the trough of disillusionment as early adopters caught in the speculation trap lose a large investment, or latecomers to the party arrive only in time to watch the cleanup. It's only then that once the initial hype dies down, that people tend to sit down and map out real use cases for new technologies that could solve problems in the real world.
You don't have to look far to find the obvious pitfalls of NFTs as a new technology. Wherever there is a chance to make money quick, scammers will gather and hack out a way to entice millions to part with their hard-earned cash in exchange for whatever is being flogged.
And people fell for it. They saw the gains early investors made during the NFT bubble and they FOMO'd in. Everyone wants to make a quick buck. The first ever tweet by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was sold for $2.9 million last year. The investor then tried to resell it for $48 million, only to have the auction close at just $280.
I decided to sell this NFT ( the world's first ever tweet ) and donate 50% of the proceeds ( $25 million or more ) to the charity @GiveDirectly

We can laugh at old Estavi, to whom the $2.9 million was probably peanuts. But it gets worse. Counterfeits of art were minted and then sold as NFTs, in one case work done by a deceased artist. Real people got carried away, investing in overpriced pictures of Apes and screenshots of memes, only to have the rugged pulled out from under them when the bubble burst.
Why?! What exactly is the value of this illustration?
But what is the actual problem here? Is it the pictures with no intrinsic value? Or the code built in the smart contracts built into the NFTs? Or is it the desire to become unfathomably wealthy overnight and throwing all caution to the wind, just because "it's the new thing and everyone is doing it"?
As of early 2022, a large majority of NFTs are created on the Ethereum network. Next to Bitcoin, Ethereum is the best known and most popular blockchain network. It has provides the platform for development for a myriad of crypto projects not limited to the NFT industry. Yet there are some inherent problems with Ethereum that are well-documented, but yet to be resolved, despite several updates in recent times.
The first and foremost issue is that Ethereum has a huge problem with its current exorbitant gas fees. Gas fees are essentially the cost of making a transaction on the blockchain. It is so expensive to transfer tokens on the Ethereum network due to the high congestion of the network and inherent technical issues that have yet to be resolved.
The high cost of minting NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain could (and probably will) lead to an exodus to alternative blockchains like those mentioned above.
Another massive issue with NFTs and the blockchain in general is the processing power needed to perform computations. Mining and minting currently require enormous amounts of energy – so much that the price of electricity may exceed the value of mined coins in the near future. The power consumption of a single bitcoin transaction is the equivalent of the consumption of a US household – over 73 days! Ethereum is not much more environmentally friendly, despite recent updates to Eth 2.0.
So is this the ultimate argument against blockchain, NFTs and the entire crypto ecosystem? Well, despite what most media outlets will have you believe, blockchain is not inherently environmentally unfriendly. There are other options such as Tron, Hedera Hashgraph and the XRP Ledger that have a much smaller environmental footprint than the stalwarts of the space.

As mentioned above, there are a number of competitors waiting in the wings to knock BTC and ETH of their top spots in the crypto industry. The entire space is in development, having taken only baby steps since the inception of Bitcoin in 2012. The environmental issue is one that must be solved before mass adoption can take place.
Whenever a new technology emerges, new problems arise as systems are manipulated for the personal gain of bad actors looking to capitalise on emerging trends. The internet was the wild west before regulators developed laws preventing the misuse of user's personal data, a process that is continuing until this day.
As we saw last year, NFTs and the crypto space in general currently lack a framework protecting people from being manipulated or exploited. Ironically, the hype around Bitcoin, NFTs and cryptocurrency exchange practices have brought the industry into the limelight, forcing lawmakers to map out regulations before the development of serious use cases.
Before music NFTs really take off, I expect major changes to take place in all areas of the crypto industry. There is a lot of work to be done by all involved with the space.
Most of all, the damage done by the hype surrounding NFT scams and exorbitant sales of digital art must first be repaired. Still, there are many possibilities that could benefit a number of industries, including the music business.
Let's dig into it!
NFTs have the potential to solve a lot of problems that have arisen in the digital era and bridge the gap between the physical and digital marketplace. Music NFTs could possibly completely change the music industry landscape, giving artists more control over how and when they receive payment for their work. Much like the mp3 and Napster did when suddenly music was available anywhere online, music NFTs are set to disrupt the paradigm that has been in the firm grip of major labels and companies like Spotify and co., who for decades have reaped the rewards on the back of musicians' creativity.
In the digital era, physical music sales have been on the decline for decades. Sure, vinyl has made a strong comeback, but compared to the revenue made by streaming services that have completely taken over the industry, tangible music product sales are but a drop in the ocean. Artists receive next to nothing for a play on streaming platforms, regardless of whether they recorded, produced and uploaded their music themselves, or were backed financially by major labels who take their cut every step of the way. The system isn't fair to artists, whose intellectual property forms the backbone of Spotify's business and yet receive a pittance for supplying their art to the platform.
A music NFT is created by encrypting and signing a piece of music on the blockchain. The NFT certifies ownership of the piece of music, displaying it's authenticity. Meta data such as the composer, songwriter, producer and any other stakeholders could be signed into the NFT ensuring fair compensation down the road, should the piece of music be sold at a later date.
A fan may buy an NFT and then sell it for a profit at a later date – but the original stakeholders will automatically be compensated with a certain percentage for the increase in value by the in-built smart contract that comes into play with the second transaction.
Artists may choose to distribute NFTs as tickets for concerts in the physical and digital realms, back stage passes or sneak previews of songs or albums. Fans have the opportunity to invest in their favourite musicians and hold an asset in the digital realm that is unique and of intrinsic value.
NFTs, when authentic, are exclusive, collectible and could increase in value. Artists are able to track their products in the digital marketplace as well as receive a cut of further sales.
NFTs are poised to completely overhaul the music industry, especially in the streaming sector. Every artist (and pretty much every music fan) knows that musicians aren't being paid enough by streaming platforms for their products.
Source: YourEDM.com
With the technical offerings of NFTs, new platforms are set to arise giving a fair share of streaming revenue to all stakeholders of a piece of music – automatically per smart contract.
Imagine a streaming platform based on blockchain technology that gives each person involved in a piece of music their share of revenue based on the smart contracts built into each NFT. A record company mints an NFT by uploaded a WAV and entering the information of all artists, producers, songwriters and publishers involved in the creation of the music. For every stream or digital download, the smart contract is triggered, in turn triggering a monetary transaction to every person or entity invovled. No one gets cut out of the deal, which was drawn up in the traditional manner way before the music was produced.
Another use case could be the following: an artist uploads an album which they own 100% of the recording and publishing rights to. They wrote the music themselves, recorded it using their own funds and released it with the help of an indie label. The indie deal gives the label 40% of the digital revenue in return for marketing and physical CD and vinyl production costs. The 60/40 split is entered into the music as it is minted.
Whenever a stream occurs, the payment made by the listener to the streaming platform could be split amongst the stakeholders of each song. The monthly subscription could be directly linked to only the artists that a user listens to, giving them their fair share as written in the music NFT smart contract.
With this kind of technology it could one day be possible for artists to earn substantially from the main product of their art – their music. I sincerely believe that this transparent new marketplace provides the foundation for a new paradigm in the music industry based on fairness and equality.
One could see NFTs being used as an investment mechanism for music fans to provide funding to an emerging artist. Much like investing in a company on the stock market, listeners could take an active role in helping artists develop by financially supporting them towards the creation of new music.
An artist offering NFTs of their next album prior to its production essentially removes the need for a record label who traditionally provide funding. Musicians and fans could become intertwined in a financial relationship – the value of the initial investment could rise over time giving fans an incentive, both emotionally and financially.
We already see similar systems in crowdfunding and subscription services like Kickstarter and Patreon, yet without any possible rewards for fans, other than the exclusivity of receiving new content before the general public.
Do fans need such incentives to support artists in their development? No, probably not. The popularity of Patreon shows that content is enough to satisfy hardcore fans to give generously on a monthly basis for access to new art and music. But could it revolutionise the value of digital music and draw more people in to supporting artists and providing much-needed financial stability? Maybe…
Concert ticketing is an area that has been plagued by middlemen, both legal and illegal, as ticketing agencies, venues, scalpers and bots all hold out their hands for a share of the spoils. An increase in prices due to a fans reselling their tickets can directly benefit the artist when a built-in smart contract is activated to give them their fair share of the price.
Regardless of the fact that the music industry is still taking baby steps when it comes to NFTs, there are several options to get started now, if you so choose.

In order to mint your first music NFT, you will need a crypto wallet, funds to purchase cryptocurrency and an account at a crypto exchange as well as at your chosen music platform.
Before you get started, check out each music NFT platform and find out what you need for minting, as some allow you to bypass the crypto purchase and pay directly with credit card.
You can open an account to purchase cryptocurrency at one of the following (amongst many, many others):
Suitable Wallets for holding crypto once you have purchased include:
Trustwallet
Getting involved in cryptocurrency is a deep dive and one you should take time to examine and approach with caution. Prices are volatile and at times it can feel like a rollercoaster ride in a casino in the middle of the wild west.
However, I believe that Blockchain technology is here to stay and will have a major influence on every single industry on planet earth, the music business included. Getting into the scene early in 2022 will give you a head start as an artist as a new digital paradigm is born.

Aberdeens Wochenrückblick
Was bewegt die Märkte? Pünktlich zum Wochenende fasst Aberdeen Standard Investments zusammen, welche Entwicklungen und Ereignisse die vergangene Woche besonders geprägt haben. Aberdeen Standard Investments | 30.11.2018 10:09 Uhr
© Fotalia.de
Hinweis: Dieser Beitrag ist auch auf Aberdeens "Thinking aloud"-Plattform verfügbar
Week in review: slight relief
Buoyed by comments from the US Federal Reserve (Fed), investors enjoyed some respite from the November gloom this week. Nevertheless, most markets are set to finish the month significantly down, extending the autumn's declines.
Well, Fed?
Following last Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday, US investors appeared revitalised. The S&P 500 had gained 4.0% by Thursday's close. This recovery was helped by comments from Fed chairman Jay Powell. Investors interpreted Powell's comment that interest rates were "just below neutral" as an indication that future rate rises might not come as fast as many were expecting.
Apple falls from top of the tree
In a year dominated by the fortunes of the technology giants, we've heard a great deal about the FAANG stocks: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. But this week it was Microsoft that hogged the headlines. After a 16-year hiatus, the software giant reclaimed its former standing as the world's largest company by market capitalisation, knocking its old rival Apple from its perch.
The main factor in this is the relative resilience of Microsoft's share price. While the FAANGs led the surge in the stock market at the start of the year, they've become the biggest casualties of the autumn slump. So, as Apple has fallen, Microsoft's lesser declines in October and November have allowed it to move ahead. On a longer-term basis, the strength of Microsoft's cloud-computing business has helped its share price to power ahead since 2016.
The UK's FTSE 100 also performed well this week. Although there was little sign of light at the end of the Brexit tunnel, Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England (BoE), indicated that a "disorderly" Brexit would hit the UK economy extremely hard in the short term.
On the surface, the BoE's analysis offered some support for Theresa May's argument that her proposed Brexit deal is the only viable option in the circumstances. This would increase its chances of gaining parliamentary approval. But some MPs are likely to take the BoE's pronouncements with a pinch of salt, given that the central bank predicted a much more negative economic outcome from the Leave vote than actually came to pass.
There was good news from the BoE, however, when it came to Britain's banks. Stress tests showed that the UK's seven largest banks and building societies would be able to continue lending in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
One result of the week's Brexit uncertainties was that the pound weakened against both the euro and the US dollar. This provided a boost for the FTSE 100 as many of its constituent companies make the bulk of their earnings overseas, rendering them more profitable in sterling terms when the pound is weak.
Emerging from the gloom?
Although they've had a grim 2018 so far, emerging markets fared better than developed markets in November. Most also shared in the lighter global mood this week as the softer noises from the Fed relieved some of the pressure on their currencies.
There were exceptions, however. The Mexican stock market plunged to its lowest level for four years on concerns about the new government's economic policies. The Mexican peso hit a five-month low. And investors in China's A-share market enjoyed only a brief respite from their year-to-date woes. A slide on Thursday erased all the gains made earlier in the week, as investors grew cautious ahead of the meeting between Presidents Xi and Trump at this weekend's G20 summit in Argentina.
Today is St Andrew's Day. The saint is closely associated with Scotland, whose national flag – the saltire or St Andrew's cross – represents the uncomfortable apparatus on which the saint was crucified. Legend tells that the saltire appeared in the sky before the battle of Athelstaneford in 832 AD.
But Scotland's historical adoption of St Andrew's Day appears to have been distinctly practical. It served to shift the date on which animals were slaughtered from the end of October, when the pagan festival of Samhain had been celebrated, to ensure that there was enough meat to see people through a typical Scottish winter.
St Andrew's Day is also celebrated in other countries, including Romania, Poland, Portugal, Russia and Ukraine. There, its associations are less with battles and beef, and more with wolves and wizardry. In Romania, St Andrew's Eve traditionally marks the start of vampire activity, which lasts until April.
So, if you're enjoying a glass of single malt tonight to celebrate Scotland's national day, you might just want to season it with garlic …


You probably did some research before starting your business. You might have gotten a lot of information from magazines, books, and even advisers. And you might have invested a lot, in terms of cash, time and sweat, to get it off the ground.
So what is the next thing possible thing you can do?
Many who survived the startup stage and built lucrative businesses may wonder how to grow their venture beyond its current status. We outline 4 possibilities below.
A powerful way to quickly grow your business is to align with a similar business.
If you're uncomfortable with the thought of paying commissions for the sake of a business alliance, you need to rather look at the big picture and see what you stand to gain.
A prime example in this regard is when Jim Labadie, a fitness professional, purchased a CD seminar pack from Ryan Lee (a fellow fitness instructor) which would inspire Labadie to form lucrative alliances within the industry.
The Florida entrepreneur, Labadie, revealed that these alliances increased his sales by 500% since he started selling in 2001. He advised that the fastest way to success is to align with similar ventures that already have the prospective customers lists.
Selling complementary products and services.
Becoming a paid public speaker.
Importing or exporting your products.
Diversifying will invariably create multiple streams of income for you to fill seasonal voids and increase profit margins.
Are there other markets that can serve your business well?
Have you given this a thought?
McGuckin, who we referred to earlier, said that his other markets were what made him money. Entrepreneurship programs, speaking events, foreign rights, and software offerings from multiple markets are what produce multiple streams of income for McGuckin.
Just let your imagination wander a bit and take you where you need to be. Then, take your products to those markets that need them.
Creating mergers or acquiring other business is another proven way of growing your business quickly.
So how do you choose a suitable strategy for your business? Well, it depends on the type of business, available resources, and how much effort and time you're willing to commit all over again.

An Evening With Pur Minerals.
Last week I had the pleasure of being invited to the Pur Minerals cosmetics event where I spent the evening learning more about the brand and mineral make-up in general. Pur Minerals is an American cosmetics brand which specializes in mineral makeup that is cruelty-free and contain no fillers, harsh chemicals or dyes. The company have recently launched their products in Marks and Spencers which contain lip crayons, lipstick, foundation and blushes as well as their skincare range, including facial masks and serums which I will be reviewing soon!
While there, I was shown some of the new products being released within the range such as the 5-Piece Start Now Kit, which is a five piece kit containing products that help create a flawless and clear complexion- a little something that I have my eye on for the winter months!
One thing about the products that i'm really drawn to is that most of the products contain multitasking formulas which work with the skin to correct and prevent common skin disruptions, such as blemishes and pigmentation; makeup that also doubles as skincare? Count me in! If you're a bit of a naturalista like myself, then you'll be pleased to know that the range is predominantly plant-based, so no nasty compounds on the skin. The product range is vast and diverse and is of such a great quality.
I had such a wonderful time at the event seeing Grace, Yolanda , Kat and Jayne (who by the way, is STUNNING!) and the team at Wizard Publicity who put on the event. A huge thank you goes out to them for the invite!

The art of illustration
Illustration was always considered as the art of creating images that accompanied the text. That term originated from the invention of the printing press, where illustrations made with xylography accompanied the writings during the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Some great artists who worked the illustration were Rembrandt Van Rijn, Alberto Durero, among others. In the 18th century, artists such as Eugene Delacroix and Gustave Doré appeared, representatives of an important period for the cultural development of that century, where the number of publications increased considerably and, therefore, various illustrative techniques accompanying these texts were also developed.
Thanks to advances in technology and tools, the work of the illustrator was facilitated. At the end of the 15th century, woodcutting was replaced by chalcography, which was able to reproduce images of good quality. Finally, lithography consolidated its hegemony as a method of production in recent centuries. In this area, one could cite Toulouse Lautrec who developed this technique at the end of the 19th century and whose works, up to the present, constitute a source of inspiration for artists who now use digital media and other tools to carry out their work.
Contemporary artists use various artistic techniques to create their works. There are those who use digital painting and watercolor, like Samuel Araya. In the international arena we can mention Frank Frazetta, from the United States, and Vicente Segrelles, from Spain, who work with both traditional and digital techniques.
Among the modern techniques of illustration is photomontage. The photomontage is also considered a type of collage, since it goes through the same procedure of cutting and pasting, superimposing the images and making retouching until the final result. Some contemporary artists use this technique, such as SilviaGallart, a graphic designer who retouches her photos to create Pop culture art.
Undoubtedly, digital technology brought a series of characteristics common to all the traditional means of producing images, showing a reality far removed from the revolutionary concept that at first sight could give rise to, a great exponent been Super 250. The digital illustration would fulfil the same function of creating images that graph the texts, only that the works are created from a computer, using computer programs manipulating the mouse or the tablet.
Even so, although it is based on proposals put forward by the other arts, its nature also separates it from all of them, generating a reinterpretation of traditional artistic forms. Therefore, it could be said that digital illustration became an emerging form of art that uses both the techniques of traditional painting and the application of digital tools such as Luca Bermudez's art.
