Amazon IaaS holds top billing, waits for enterprises to fill seats - Top cloud computing providers: Where are they now?
Amazon Web Services has occupied center stage throughout its relatively brief history as a company. As the dominant public cloud provider, it has led the market with its price cuts, growing product portfolio and long list of compliance certifications. With the release of Zocalo earlier this year, the company broadened its reach into the crowded file storage and collaboration space -- where companies such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and Microsoft are all fighting for air. So, what is AWS' Achilles Heel? It just might be the enterprise.
Despite its global reach and despite having paraded high-profile case studies such as the visual effects studio Atomic Fiction and publisher Conde Naste at its annual AWS re:Invent conference, AWS AWS has yet to see widespread adoption in the enterprise. The key to success may lie in its partner relationships, according to Larry Carvalho, analyst at IDC.
Enterprises often lack the talent in-house to implement a full-scale public cloud themselves, so they look to integrators for these skills. As high-profile enterprises -- such as GE, which uses AWS virtual private cloud -- stand up in support of investing more into AWS, others may follow. "GE making that statement, and moving forward is a big deal," Carvalho said.
AWS must also improve the way it communicates to enterprises on how its products integrate -- and speak in a language the enterprise understands. Company branding and AWS terminology often get in the way, Carvalho said. Still, Elastic Beanstalk, the company's platform as a service offering, ranks first in revenue in IDC's "Worldwide Competitive Public Cloud PaaS and Vendor" study -- so it has someone's ear.
AWS was listed as #1 in the Top 10 cloud computing providers of 2012.
Will AWS remain on top in 2015?
I think yes - Google and Microsoft are making solid runs at the crown, but it's hard to see AWS losing its lead in the next 12 months.

Q: Is $\frac{\sin{x}}{x}\in L^1[\pi,\infty]$? I am trying to prove that
$$
F(y)=\int_\pi^\infty\frac{e^{-xy}\sin x}{x}\,dx
$$
is differentiable on $(0,\infty)$. My first though was to try and show that $F$ is Lipschitz which led me to the following inequality:
$$
\lvert F(y_1)-F(y_2)\rvert\le\int_\pi^\infty \left\lvert\frac{\sin x}{x} \right\rvert\cdot\lvert e^{-xy_1}-e^{-xy_2}\rvert\,dx.
$$
Then I wanted to apply Holder's inequality to get
$$
\lvert F(y_1)-F(y_2)\rvert\le\int_\pi^\infty \left\lvert\frac{\sin x}{x}\right\rvert\cdot\lvert e^{-xy_1}-e^{-xy_2}\rvert\,dx\le\left\|\frac{\sin x}{x}\right\|_1\cdot\|e^{-xy_1}-e^{-xy_2}\|_\infty,
$$
but it occurs to me that I don't know that $\left\|\frac{\sin{x}}{x}\right\|_1$ exists. I know that
$$
\int_{\pi}^\infty \frac{\sin{x}}{x}\,dx\le\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx=\frac{\pi}{2},
$$
but that doesn't help me with
$$
\int_\pi^\infty \left\lvert\frac{\sin x}{x}\right\rvert\,dx.
$$
Any thoughts?
UPDATE:
With some input from my friends, I have decided I can switch the norms on my functions and get
$$
\begin{align*}
\lvert F(y_1)-F(y_2)\rvert&\le\int_{\pi}^\infty \left\lvert\frac{\sin x}{x}\right\rvert\cdot\lvert e^{-xy_1}-e^{-xy_2}\rvert\,dx\\
&\le\left\|\frac{\sin x}{x}\right\|_\infty\cdot\|e^{-xy_1}-e^{-xy_2}\|_1\\
&=\frac{1}{\pi}\cdot\lvert e^{-y_1\pi}-e^{-y_2\pi}\rvert\\
&\le\frac{1}{\pi}\cdot\lvert y_1\pi-y_2\pi\rvert\\
&=\lvert y_1-y_2\rvert.
\end{align*}
$$
Thus $F(y)$ is Lipschitz and therefore differentiable a.e. on $(0,\infty)$.

A: $$\begin{eqnarray*}\int_{\pi n}^{\pi(n+1)}\left|\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right|\,dx \geq \int_{\pi \left(n+\frac{1}{4}\right)}^{\pi \left(n+\frac{3}{4}\right)}\left|\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right|\,dx&\geq& \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\int_{\pi \left(n+\frac{1}{4}\right)}^{\pi \left(n+\frac{3}{4}\right)}\frac{dx}{x}\\&\geq&\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\int_{\pi \left(n+\frac{1}{4}\right)}^{\pi \left(n+\frac{3}{4}\right)}\frac{dx}{\pi \left(n+\frac{3}{4}\right)}\\&=&\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4n+3}\end{eqnarray*}$$
but since $\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4n+3}$ is divergent, $\frac{\sin x}{x}\color{red}{\not\in} L^1(\pi,+\infty).$
As pointed by Dr.MV in the comments, integration by parts leads to the stronger inequality:
$$ \int_{n\pi}^{(n+1)\pi}\left|\frac{\sin x}{x}\right|\,dx \geq \frac{2}{\pi(n+1)}.$$
About differentiability, it is enough to get rid of the sine through:
$$\left|F(y_1)-F(y_2)\right|\leq\int_{\pi}^{+\infty}\frac{\left|e^{-xy_1}-e^{-x y_2}\right|}{x}\,dx.$$

Q: Rsync Incremental Backup still copies all the files I am currently writing a bash script for rsync. I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong. But I can't tell what it is. I will try to elaborate everything in detail so hopefully someone can help me.
The goal of script is to do full backups and incremental ones using rsync. Everything seems to work perfectly well, besides one crucial thing. It seems like even though using the --link-dest parameter, it still copies all the files. I have checked the file sizes with du -chs.
First here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
while getopts m:p: flags
do
  case "$flags" in
    m) mode=${OPTARG};;
    p) prev=${OPTARG};;
    *) echo "usage: $0 [-m] [-p]" >&2
       exit 1 ;;
  esac
done

date="$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')";

#Create Folders If They Do Not Exist (-p paramter)
mkdir -p /Backups/Full && mkdir -p /Backups/Inc

FullBackup() {
  #Backup Content Of Website
  mkdir -p /Backups/Full/$date/Web/html
  rsync -av user@IP:/var/www/html/ /Backups/Full/$date/Web/html/

  #Backup All Config Files NEEDED. Saving Storage Is Key ;)
  mkdir -p /Backups/Full/$date/Web/etc
  rsync -av user@IP:/etc/apache2/ /Backups/Full/$date/Web/etc/

  #Backup Fileserver
  mkdir -p /Backups/Full/$date/Fileserver
  rsync -av user@IP:/srv/samba/private/ /Backups/Full/$date/Fileserver/

  #Backup MongoDB
  ssh user@IP /usr/bin/mongodump --out /home/DB
  rsync -av root@BackupServerIP:/home/DB/ /Backups/Full/$date/DB
  ssh user@IP rm -rf /home/DB
}

IncrementalBackup(){
  Method="";
  if [ "$prev" == "full" ]
  then
    Method="Full";
  elif [ "$prev" == "inc" ]
  then
    Method="Inc";
  fi

  if [ -z "$prev" ]
  then
  echo "-p Parameter Empty";
  else
  #Get Latest Folder - Ignore the hacky method, it works.
  cd /Backups/$Method
  NewestBackup=$(find . ! -path . -type d | sort -nr | head -1 | sed s@^./@@)
  IFS='/'
  read -a strarr <<< "$NewestBackup"
  Latest_Backup="${strarr[0]}";
  cd /Backups/

  #Incremental-Backup Content Of Website
  mkdir -p /Backups/Inc/$date/Web/html
  rsync -av --link-dest /Backups/$Method/"$Latest_Backup"/Web/html/ user@IP:/var/www/html/ /Backups/Inc/$date/Web/html/

  #Incremental-Backup All Config Files NEEDED
  mkdir -p /Backups/Inc/$date/Web/etc
  rsync -av --link-dest /Backups/$Method/"$Latest_Backup"/Web/etc/ user@IP:/etc/apache2/ /Backups/Inc/$date/Web/etc/

  #Incremental-Backup Fileserver
  mkdir -p /Backups/Inc/$date/Fileserver
  rsync -av --link-dest /Backups/$Method/"$Latest_Backup"/Fileserver/ user@IP:/srv/samba/private/ /Backups/Inc/$date/Fileserver/

  #Backup MongoDB
  ssh user@IP /usr/bin/mongodump --out /home/DB
  rsync -av root@BackupServerIP:/home/DB/ /Backups/Full/$date/DB
  ssh user@IP rm -rf /home/DB
  fi
}

if [ "$mode" == "full" ]
then
  FullBackup;
elif [ "$mode" == "inc" ]
then
  IncrementalBackup;
fi

The command i used:
Full-Backup
bash script.sh -m full
Incremental
bash script.sh -m inc -p full
Executing the script is not giving any errors at all. As I mentioned above, it just seems like it's still copying all the files. Here are some tests I did.

I suspect that the ./ has something to do with that. I might be wrong, but it looks suspicious. Though when executing the same command again, the ./ are not in the log, probably because I did it on the same day, so it was overwriting in the /Backup/Inc/2021-11-20 Folder.
Let me know for more information. I have been trying around for a long time now. Maybe I am simply wrong and there are links made and disk space economized.

A: I didn't read the entire code because the main problem didn't seem to lay there.

Verify the disk usage of your /Backups directory with du -sh /Backups and then compare it with the sum of du -sh /Backups/Full and du -sh /Backups/Inc.
I'll show you why with a little test:
Create a directory containing a file of 1 MiB:
mkdir -p /tmp/example/data

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/example/data/zerofile bs=1M count=1

Do a "full" backup:
rsync -av /tmp/example/data/ /tmp/example/full

Do an "incremental" backup
rsync -av --link-dest=/tmp/example/full /tmp/example/data/ /tmp/example/incr

Now let's see what we got:
with ls -l
ls -l /tmp/example/*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 1048576 Nov 21 00:24 /tmp/example/data/zerofile
-rw-rw-r-- 2 user group 1048576 Nov 21 00:24 /tmp/example/full/zerofile
-rw-rw-r-- 2 user group 1048576 Nov 21 00:24 /tmp/example/incr/zerofile

and with du -sh
du -sh /tmp/example/*
1.0M    /tmp/example/data
1.0M    /tmp/example/full
0   /tmp/example/incr

*

*Oh? There was a 1 MiB file in /tmp/example/incr but du missed it ?

Actually no. As the file wasn't modified since the previous backup (referenced with --link-dest), rsync created a hard-link to it instead of copying its content. — Hard-links connect a same memory space to different files

And du can detect hard-links and show you the real disk usage, but only when the hard-linked files are included (even in sub-dirs) in its arguments. For example, if you use du -sh independently for /tmp/example/incr:
du -sh /tmp/example/incr
1.0M    /tmp/example/incr

*

*How do you detect that there is hard-links to a file ?

ls -l actually showed it to us:
-rw-rw-r-- 2 user group 1048576 Nov 21 00:24 /tmp/example/full/zerofile
           ^
          HERE

This number means that there are two existing hard-links to the file: this file itself and another one in the same filesystem.

about your code
It doesn't change anything but I would replace:
  #Get Latest Folder - Ignore the hacky method, it works.
  cd /Backups/$Method
  NewestBackup=$(find . ! -path . -type d | sort -nr | head -1 | sed s@^./@@)
  IFS='/'
  read -a strarr <<< "$NewestBackup"
  Latest_Backup="${strarr[0]}";
  cd /Backups/

with:
  #Get Latest Folder
  glob='20[0-9][0-9]-[0-1][0-9]-[0-3][0-9]' # match a timestamp (more or less)
  NewestBackup=$(compgen -G "/Backups/$Method/$glob/" | sort -nr | head -n 1)

*

*glob makes sure that the directories/files found by compgen -G will have the right format.

*Adding / at the end of a glob makes sure that it matches directories only.

This week, I will explain Ethereum's qualities and why they'll prove to overshadow Bitcoin in the future.
Ethereum eclipses Bitcoin in functionality.
First, Ethereum uses a fully automated escrow while Bitcoin doesn't.
Second, Ethereum can tokenize anything and put it on the blockchain. Bitcoin cannot. I've heard of people tokenizing cars, homes, and even shares of stock like Disney or Apple.
Third, Ethereum's community is more active and involved than Bitcoin's. In the digital currency space, community and developer activity is crucial in identifying an appealing crypto.
Fourth, Ethereum is much more than a cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin is only a digital currency, Ethereum is that as well as a blockchain platform and operating system.
Fifth, Ethereum, not Bitcoin, is being used by retail titan Amazon for its own blockchain database, Amazon QLDB.
Overall, Ethereum's got much more going on than Bitcoin.
Another aspect that makes Ethereum favored over Bitcoin in the long run is its goal to switch to a proof-of-stake system.
Proof of stake (POS) involves validating transactions on the blockchain to ensure cyberattacks and fake or multiple requests aren't logged.
In a proof-of-stake system, the transactions are validated by a creator who has been chosen by the block.
See, Bitcoin and Ethereum both run on a proof-of-work system, which has the same goal as proof of stake but works differently.
In a proof-of-work (POW) system, users must mine to validate transactions and create new digital currencies.
Miners have to verify that the transactions are legitimate by solving math computations known as the POW problem.
The first miner to solve the problem declares it on the block and is rewarded a digital currency.
Mining can be competitive, as the difficulty can be increased, which raises the amount of POW problems to be solved and the currencies available for reward.
The benefit of using a POS system over a POW is that a bunch of energy and money is saved, as there's no need to mine for transaction validation.
That cuts back a bunch of machine usage. Back in 2015, one BTC transaction used the same daily amount of energy as 1.57 American households.
Also, in a POS system, the digital currency is created at the start, and its numbers don't change. That's why there's no block rewards in a POS system, whereas with POW, the digital currency is created and issued as rewards when miners solve the POW problem.
Overall, POW is outdated and inefficient compared to a POS system.
What makes Ethereum and Bitcoin different is their usage of proof of work. While Bitcoin will never stop using the proof-of-work system, Ethereum is planning a hard fork to split the token in two, and the new version will use proof of stake.
Ethereum is trying to grow and update with the times, while Bitcoin isn't.
I'd argue that the most defining quality of Ethereum over Bitcoin is its blockchain's compatibility with smart contracts.
For those who are unaware, smart contracts are transaction agreements between the buyer and seller. These agreements are included on the blockchain and will self-execute the transaction once they're met.
For example, let's say you want to buy tokens from a friend. The friend says he'll sell you his tokens if you wash his car. Once it's recorded on the blockchain that you've completed the task of washing the car, the smart contract will execute the transaction, and the tokens are yours.
Smart contracts are useful because they establish terms before the transaction and will then execute once the terms have been met, regardless of whether someone is on the blockchain to complete the action.
Smart contracts are also debtor-friendly. On Ethereum's blockchain, you can take out a loan, whereas you can't with Bitcoin. When this is done, creditors don't own the loan — the smart contract does. So should you fail to pay, you won't go into collections and have creditors harass you.
Rather, the smart contract will simply take what you established as collateral during the initial agreement.
Bitcoin does not use smart contracts and would need user input to execute transactions. Ethereum's use of smart contracts gives it more freedom to be used in innovative ways.
I think Ethereum has much more to offer than Bitcoin.
It does more than Bitcoin, it's more automated than Bitcoin, and it's actively seeking ways to improve and innovate compared to Bitcoin.
In short, I think Ethereum is running on the thought of user-friendliness, growth, and innovation, while Bitcoin is only focused on greed and making more money.
Now, I don't think Bitcoin is just sitting around and doing nothing. It's certainly improving, but not in the innovative direction Ethereum is clearly headed toward.
Also, I think BTC is only at the top because it's the market's first well-known and lucrative digital currency. Bitcoin is the leader and the front-runner on crypto exchanges. The good part about that is when it's doing well, other tokens do as well.
Alternatively, when it's going down, so does everything else.
To be quite frank, Bitcoin's more like a prototype for digital currency. It's the first of its kind, but its uses are quite limited.
I believe it's only a matter of time before everyone else catches up and notices that Ethereum has so much more to offer.
Only time will tell, but I'd be quite shocked to still see BTC at #1 and Ethereum still trailing behind by the end of 2019.


The rates of teenage pregnancy in Thailand are still on the rise. Due to this, many adolescent girls, therefore, become teenage mothers who have to fulfill many new roles without adequate social and family support. This qualitative study aimed to describe experience and readiness of adolescent mothers for parenting. Twelve teenage mothers aged between 18-20 years old and their significant others comprised the study participants. In-depth interviews and participant observation were used for data collection. Thematic analysis was performed. The findings are as follows: (1) unplanned beginning, (2) planned/unplanned motherhood and mothering depend on different factors, and (3) the meanings of mothering/parenting readiness. Parenting readiness was defined as educational success and social achievements, successful psychological adaptation, and family and social support. Health professionals and family should ensure that factors affecting parenting readiness are addressed throughout pregnancy and childbearing period to lessen the negative impacts of adolescent motherhood and improve the ability of adolescent mothers to carry out their parenting roles.

Twin Disc (TWIN) to Report Q1 Results: Wall Street Expects Earnings Growth
October 22, 2021, 3:00 PM ·4 min read
Twin Disc (TWIN) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2021. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This power transmission equipment maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +116.7%.
Revenues are expected to be $62.3 million, up 35% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Twin Disc?
For Twin Disc, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Twin Disc will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Twin Disc would post earnings of $0.01 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.02, delivering a surprise of -300%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Twin Disc doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Brazilian financial services provider Dock said on Friday it will start using cryptocurrencies to process international remittances as it expands to Latin America and Europe. Brazilian reais will be converted into bitcoin then into another currency, such as the dollar, and will reach end users through Dock customers such as Vivo and Natura&CO. "It will be both a quick and cheap way of making remittances," Frederico Amaral, head of products and technology at Dock, told Reuters in an interview.

Are Verbal Agreements Enforceable? | Newcastle & Sydney | Butlers Law News
Home>Business Contracts & Agreements>Are Verbal Agreements Enforceable? | Newcastle & Sydney | Butlers Law News
Are Verbal Agreements Enforceable?
Most of us are familiar with the implications of a written contract. However, some people may be surprised to learn that, in Australia, enforceable agreements don't have to be in writing.
In order for a written or a verbal agreement to be enforceable, it must meet the five essential requirements necessary to form a legally binding contract. Below, we have summarised these five essential elements to help you consider whether or not your verbal agreements are binding.
Element 1: Offer and acceptance
The first essential elements of a binding written or a verbal agreement is an "offer and acceptance". This element is relatively simple. It demonstrates a readiness of the offeror to be bound to the offer on acceptance by the offeree.
Element 2: "Consideration"
The second necessary element for written or a verbal agreement is "consideration". Consideration is essentially the motive behind the deal, or what the other party receives in exchange for the verbal contractual agreement. This is often money or services; however, it can range to almost anything. In some cases, "love and affection" have been found to be adequate consideration for a binding agreement.
It is important to note that what the offeror and offeree get out of the agreement doesn't have to be equal in value for consideration to be sufficient. An offeror can offer their gold watch in exchange for an umbrella, so long as there is some form of consideration. The reason behind this is that it is the role of the judge to determine whether or not there is a legally binding agreement rather than whether one amount, item, thing or action is valuable or not.
Element 3: Intention to enter legal relations
The third element of a binding written or a verbal agreement is an intention to create legal relations. There is a general presumption that agreements made in a commercial context are intended to be legally binding. On the other hand, verbal agreements made in social or domestic context are presumed to be non-binding in nature.
Element 4: Certainty
In addition to the previous four elements, for written or a verbal agreement to be considered binding, they must be shown to be sufficiently certain and adequately complete so that each party's rights and obligations under the agreement can be discerned and enforced. When it comes to verbal agreements, there are three common certainty issues that often arise:
The parties failed to reach a clear agreement on all the essential terms, rendering the agreement uncertain.
The terms of the agreement are sometimes found to be too ambiguous for a court to be able to attribute meaning to the agreement.
The agreement can be uncertain because the terms allow one party discretion as to whether they perform their part of the bargain.
Element 5: Capacity
In order for a contract to be enforceable, all parties must have capacity to enter into the agreement. The following categories indicate cases where individuals do not have capacity to enter legally binding agreements:
Mental disorder: An individual who suffers from a mental disorder that prevents them from understanding the nature of an agreement cannot enter legally binding agreements. In this instance, the party seeking to withdraw from the contract must prove the disability.
Intoxication: if an individual is unable to understand the nature of an agreement due to their intoxication, then they are unable to enter into legally binding relations. Again, in this instance, the party seeking to withdraw from the contract must prove the intoxication.
Minors: The general consensus is that anyone under the age of 18 cannot enter legally binding agreements. However, it is important to be aware that there are some exceptions to this rule, such as in cases where someone under the age of 18 enters into a beneficial contract of employment.
The issue of proof
If the five elements discussed above can be demonstrated, then it is likely that the agreement is legally enforceable.
As discussed, the five elements apply equally to written and non-written agreements. So, if the same contractual principles apply equally to verbal and written agreements, why are written agreements so much easier to enforce? In the end, it often comes down to proof. Agreements that are in writing and signed by the parties provide strong evidence of the existence and terms of the contract. These written agreements can easily be examined by the parties and their legal representatives to ascertain whether or not a legally enforceable agreement exists.
On the other hand, verbal representations can easily be misinterpreted, misconstrued or forgotten. If a verbal agreement is disputed and taken to court, the party alleging the verbal agreement must prove to the court that a legally binding agreement exists. Whilst all of the elements to form a legally binding agreement may be present, the alleging party may have difficulty demonstrating this to the court.
So how would someone go about proving the elements of a verbal agreement? The alleging party will have to firstly give oral evidence of the agreement. In doing this, they would need to establish the essential elements listed above. However, it is unlikely that this evidence alone would be enough to prove that a verbal contract existed. The alleging party would also need to produce supporting evidence to the court such as emails, text messages, notes of conversations, phone logs and witness testimony (if available).
For this reason, we always recommend that important agreements are drafted in writing by skilled legal professionals. This is the best way to ensure that an agreement is sufficiently binding on all the parties and can be relied upon down the track if a disagreement ever arises.

The 5 Habits of Successful Content Creators
21 Feb 2022 Creator Oasis
Reden Madrid
Community Writer
There's undeniably a plethora of content available on the internet. There's just one huge challenge: how do you make your content exciting and compelling enough for your audience to love and devour? What are the habits of successful content creators? To answer these questions, let's first define who — or what — a content creator is.
So Who's a Content Creator?
For starters, a content creator is someone who contributes information to their chosen media platforms. This means that these creators focus on engaging with a niche or specific audience. A content creator can create content in any format: news, social media posts, pictures, videos, email, or audio — and the list goes on.
It's a calling.
At present, the majority of content creators put out their work on the internet, given the exponential growth of social and digital media.
In other words, a content creator is someone who creates informative or entertaining materials through any platform or medium. Content creators are the brains behind creative content — an ad campaign, a series of posts, vlogs, you name it. Just name any online medium or format, and chances are content creators can create for it — and distribute it, as well. (Related: So Who's a Content Creator, Anyway? (+ Why Content is King))
Ain't no content without distribution.
Following this definition, we can say that influencers are unarguably a part of the content creation process, too; they themselves are content creators, they are also workers of the ever-growing, ever-dynamic content creation marketplace. (Related: How To Become an Influencer: A Beginner's Guide)
We have to remember that content compels people to take action, and that's why content creators drum up discussions, teach or engage with their audiences, and maintain a wide network.
Sums up the experience pretty well…
But for you to come up with that significant content which has the power to spark conversations, what attributes should you possess? In this post, we'll run through the habits of successful content creators that will help you, too, become a successful creator.
1. Research: Understand Your Audience
How can you produce great content if you don't know who your followers are? No one wants to work hard – and smart – for nothing! Content creation is primarily about serving an audience, and at one point, it's about solving their problems. So what do they want? Research about it. What problems do they have that you can help solve? Do some research. Get to know the demographics of your audience. You may look at their gender, age group, and the time they spend online.
Go on, pick their brains. Discreetly, though…
Keep in mind that there are diverse sets of audiences, but you really do not have to cater to every segment. You just have to pick your niche audience and take it from there. If you want to become a successful content creator in your chosen field, you need to start establishing authority and influence in a particular topic. You can do this only if you start concentrating and creating content around your chosen niche. Study your audience, learn what they are thinking about and let the bits of information that you gather help you guide in your content creation journey.
And this brings us to the second habit you should consider building.
2. Pay Attention To Trends
We cannot stress enough that the majority of the content that people consume nowadays is found on the internet. While you don't need to keep a close eye on your competitors, it's still good to take a look at what they do and analyze how these pieces of content are performing.
Analyzing your competition can be an interesting feat. It's also one of the habits of successful content creators everywhere.
Watch the content on various platforms. What works? What does not? Do the content that fare better have certain or specific messages in them? When you can spot the trends, your ability to create your own work will improve. Observing the trends will give you a better picture of the content creation landscape.
3. Read, Read, Read
Knowledge is power. And what better way to acquire that knowledge than by reading?
As a content creator, it's good to regularly read news and matters about your chosen field and the industry in general. The returns will surely pay off. By accumulating all kinds of information, you will better understand the context behind what's happening in your industry. This information will also guide you on how you plan to execute the content you want to produce. Reading will help you gain that inspiration you need to come up with great content.
Ah, reading. One of the habits of successful content creators that's literally enjoyable.
Get in that habit of reading. It may be difficult at first, but there's a trick to that. You can start by reading a few pages first and as days go by, you can increase the number of articles that you read. You may also want to utilize your social media accounts by following reputable news agencies and industry leaders who regularly post about their insights.
4. Write, Write, Write
Reading and writing come hand in hand.
Yes, it may be difficult to write especially when you are not in the zone, but writing has so many benefits. It helps you stimulate your mind by weaving those tangled thoughts in your head into one solid idea.
Fake it till you make it.
Journal writing is a good form of writing, and the best thing about it is that it's just a simple activity. It also has a number of benefits – and these include boosting your mental and physical health. (Related: 5 Reasons Why Journaling Is Extra Beneficial for Content Creators)
You may also want to allot at least 30 minutes to one hour per day to sit down and write. There's no need for you to worry because that writing does not need to be perfect. What's important is that you just have to write something. Scribble down your thoughts, ideas, frustrations, and everything in between.
5. Be Consistent
Yes: consistency is the name of the game. Create content regularly.
In a report published some time a few years ago, it was found that companies that publish at least sixteen (16) blog posts per month get almost three and half times more traffic than the ones that publish a maximum of four (4) entries.
Consistency: one of the habits of successful content creators almost anyone can cultivate.
If you are Youtuber, it is recommended that you upload at least one video per week. This will help your community grow.
Creating and publishing regularly will allow your audience to look forward to your next work. In the process, this will set an expectation for your audience on when they can get back to check your content.
Just do it! (NOT a reference to Nike)
How to be consistent? You can put dates on a calendar and come up with a content strategy. You can also use project management tools such as Basecamp or Trello to track your progress and to make sure that you're on track to beat your self-imposed deadlines.
6. Yes, Stay Curious
This may be one of the most important habits that content creators should maintain.
Well-versed and seasoned creators are curious by nature and this curiosity is what drives them to create good content and improve their work ethics and habits.
Always have your questions ready.
Curiosity kills the cat, they say. But not in the content creation field. Being curious allows you to explore new ideas about the world and how you can produce content out of it. Your curiosity may let you chance upon a fresh solution to a recurring problem that's hounding your audience.
Keep thinking and yes, stay curious. Be a critical thinker.
Staying curious is one of the most important habits of successful content creators.
Happy creating and we hope that you get to build these habits!

This abstract should contain a short summary of what this
article is about. That is, a short introduction into the
topic, the main issues discussed, any why this is interesting.
Finally, some very short conclusion/results of the discussed
ideas. From this, the reader should be able to estimate whether

\end{abstract}

% \section defines numbered parts of the paper with titles

% Use labels to be able to refer to this position from somewhere else
\label{introduction}

The introduction of a scientific work usually consists of the following
parts:

\begin{itemize}
	\item motivation,
	\item issues or drawbacks with existing solutions of a problem at
hand,
	\item overview of new contribution and rest of the paper.
\end{itemize}

In the motivation you should explain why a given topic is interesting
at all, and also, why solutions are important from a scientific point
of view. There already may be a lot of existing solutions. Thus, it
is important for the reader to understand the issues with these solutions,
and why they are not enough for e.g. a specific scenario.

After the motivation, you should explain the basic idea of your new
contribution to solve the problem at hand, and give a short overview
of how this works and why it is better than all other existing solutions.
Finally, a short overview to the rest of the work should be provided,
which may pick out the most important points. As any idea or solution
proposed must be shown to be valid and useful, every scientific paper
must have some evaluation and discussion. It may to useful to select
important results, and mention them already as last part of the
introduction, as motivation for the reader to read on. In summary,
a good introduction makes the reader so interested into the topic and
proposed new contributions that he cannot wait to read on.

\end{figure*}

\section{Basic Rules for Using Latex}

First, we want to refer to the figures and the introduction.
See Figure~\ref{TUM} for the first floating figure with column width,
and Figure~\ref{Fig2} for the one using the full page width.
And here, we want to put a reference to the introduction which is
Section~\ref{introduction}.

In translating this template from German to English, I decided to
stop here. There is not really much to get from the German text
following. Anything Latex-related can also be looked up on the
net. There is a {\it huge} number of tutorials, and so on.

Please do not use to much different font sizes and styles. It should
be completely enough to go to {\em italic mode} for emphasizing something,
such as newly introduced terms.
You can refer to other parts of your paper (e.g. see
Sec.~\ref{introduction}).
Quoting in Latex is done ``this way''.
Further, you may have problems with punctation characters.
Most of them just need to be prefixed by a backslash, for others you may
temporarily switch to math mode:
\$ \& \% \# \{ \} [ ] \_ @ \S $<$ $>$ $\backslash$ @ \textasciitilde /

Talking about math mode: you can do some very nice things this way:

\begin{equation}
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\label{Pythagoras}
\end{equation}

Again, refering to this equation is easy (see Eq.~\ref{Pythagoras}).
If you do not need numbering for equations, use the {\em displaymath}
environment:

\begin{displaymath}
x_{1,2} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\
\end{displaymath}

Short equations simply can be used within the regular text flow, such
as with $x \to \infty$. Obviously, math is fun with Latex.

\section{Enumerations}

Enumerations using bullet points:

\begin{itemize}
	\item this is the first item of this list of interesting facts,
	\item second item,
	\item and the last one.
\end{itemize}

They also can be numbered:

\begin{enumerate}
	\item item one,
	\item item two,
	\item item three.
\end{enumerate}

As shown, numbers always should be written out in the text, unless the
belong to a title or a formula.

\section{Literature}

At the end of your paper, you should have a nice list of used
literature. For scientific papers, this actually is needed. You always
use other works as base for your own. Usually, you are not the only
one thinking about a given difficult problem, so there is always
related work which {\em must} be cited if known to the author.

Further, if you want to copy relevant sentences from an
original paper, you {\em have} to cite them correctly, for example
in this way:

\begin{quote}
	``I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.''
	(T.J. Watson, IBM, 1943)
\end{quote}

The rest of the work (especially all the regular text) must be
written/phrased by you. If you write about some results or fact
stated in another paper, you should refer to it.
The `Analytical Engine'' --- a mechanical calculation machine ---
created by Charles Babbage in the year 1838 was based on the decimal
system
% use \cite to refer to papers from seminarpaper.bib
% this file is processed by bibtex, and it automatically adds numbering
\cite{Brom98}.

\section{Figures and Tables}

No need to understand the following text.

Figures can span either one column (see Figure~\ref{TUM}) or the full
page width (see Figure~\ref{Fig2}).
Latex automatically tries to find the best place for these floating
figures. To influence that, you may move the figure a bit to the front
of your text.
As can be seen in Figure~\ref{TUM}, using images usually results in very
bad quality. Better use vector formats: draw the figures with
{\em xfig} or {\em inkscape}, and save them as PDF. As example of
this procedure, see Figure~\ref{Fig2}).

% Narrow tables (just one column) have no * at the end
\begin{table*}

\begin{center}
% arguments:
% c = center
% l = left
% r = right (z. B. for cash)

Similar to figures, tables can be referred to in the text (see
Tab.~\ref{Tab1}). However, sometimes it is useful to embed tables directly in
the regular text flow:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}

\section{Summary}
\label{summary}

The summary shortly repeats the core ideas and results from the
previous text. If the reader has problems understanding the summary
he knows that he should go back to the relevant sections.
Thus, the last section should consist of:

\begin{itemize}
	\item a summary,
	\item an evaluation of what was done, importance of this work,
	\item what is left, what still needs to be done,
        \item short outlook into the future.
\end{itemize}

Last but not least, we can explain anything missing yet in the evaluation
done in this paper. This allows to refer to what readers can expect from
authors in the future.

Release "Time Fades Away" Petition
It's been called the "missing link" of the "Ditch Trilogy".
Neil Young's 1973 Time Fades Away is one of the most remarkable live albums ever recorded. Certainly at the time of release, it was almost unprecedented for an artist to release a live concert recording of previously unreleased material. Long out of print on vinyl, still unavailable on CD in the early 21st century and widely bootlegged, the album is considered to be the "Holy Grail" of all Neil Young albums.
In an effort to gain wider distribution of this essential Neil Young recording, fans have started a petition requesting that the album be officially released. Those interested in obtaining a legal copy of Time Fades Away are urged to sign the petition today.
Go here for more details and to sign the Release "Time Fades Away" Petition.
