Keen on stocks, cryptocurrencies … BUX takes you all the way
"Start small, take your time leveraging and practice with fake money first if you don't have any experience in trading stocks," says Nick Bortot, founder of BUX. BUX an app that allows everyone to learn the ways of the stock market. The last time we spoke to Nick about BUX is three years ago.
In October 2015, BUX won the Accenture Innovation Award (AIA) for the theme "Financial Services". Ever since their participation in AIA 2015, there has been a significant rise in the number of BUX users: from 250,000 to 1.5 million users. How is BUX doing nowadays?
How would you describe BUX in one tweet to somebody who isn't familiar with BUX?
"BUX is an app that allows you an easy, cheap, and fun way to access and understand the stock market."
Do you notice any similarities and differences when you compare BUX now with the app at its inception?
"The significant difference compared to when we started out is the increase in the number of users. But our company and its principles haven't changed. To this day, we haven't had anybody say they wanted to leave."
How did your idea for this app originate?
"We noticed many people were interested in becoming active on the stock market, but they lacked the knowledge to start their adventure. During my twelve and a half years at Binck, I received questions such as 'How does that work, buying a stock?', or 'How can I capitalize on the low interest rate right now and use my savings wisely?'. The group of people asking these kinds of questions appeared to be very large compared to the group of people buying stocks. I decided to make use of the opportunity this presented – also to share my own fascination with the stock market."
Who is the intended audience for BUX?
"Anybody with the desire to know more about the stock market. Making money does not have to be your primary motivation; being interested is more than enough reason to use our app. The stock market can seem like a cold, indifferent world that only revolves around business. I don't consider that true; the stock market reflects everything that goes on in the world, from politics to weather forecasts. For example, when the weather gets very cold, gas prices go up, which increases your company's expenses – this also affects the stock market."
You mentioned your app also teaches you about the stock market. In what way?
"Absolutely, the learning process is our main goal. Through this app you will come across many appealing articles. We have articles ranging from Warren Buffet to the Brexit. The BUX app gives you access to our community, and lets you form groups and follow people – it's comparable to how Instagram and Twitter work."
Is the community an important part of the app?
"If I had to summarize our most distinctive qualities, I would say the user-friendliness and instructiveness of BUX certainly contribute most to the success of our app. It should always be possible to ride your bicycle and still be able to use your app effectively."
What is your revenue model?
"When working with fake money, you have to pay BUX a fake fee. We don't make any money from this fake fee, but it does teach you about the concept of a fee. This is important, because people should be aware of the consequences of buying with real money. When dealing with real money, we receive a real fee. The fee is determined by looking at the transaction in question, but will always be at least 25 cents. The rest of our revenue comes from trading in leverages. This source of revenue is the interest people pay when investing with borrowed capital. The amount of interest people pay is dependent on the amount of money borrowed."
Is there a higher rate of serious users than "funBUX'ers"?
"There are 130,000 people who have an account with real money in our app. This amounts to about 8,5 percent of all our users – a 3,5 percent increase in the last three years. We do not see large fluctuations in this percentage anymore. Many people see our app as a fun experiment. Also, we have a considerable number of underage users. These users haven't reached the legal age yet required to be a participant in the stock market and can therefore only use fake money in our app. Attracting paying users has proved to be difficult. Nevertheless, in the last few years we have seen an increase in the number of paying users."
How are you dealing with the increased number of users?
"Our one app has emerged as a unique brand; this is uncommon in the financial world. Soon, we will be launching two new apps under the same brand. If the current app is a bit too hard or fast for you, one of the new apps might bea better fit."
What will the new apps offer?
"Our current app centers on short-term trade. Short-term trading isn't suitable for money that you might need for other things later. We will be launching a real stocks app, and we will be addressing current popular demand by introducing a cryptocurrency app."
Does BUX have competitors, and why do people choose BUX?
"Nobody does exactly what we do. Investing is still just investing. This means that anybody looking to invest his or her money will have to make a choice. Consequently, any medium that offers investing tools can be considered a competitor. BUX has an edge, because our app offers an educational environment, combined with user-friendliness and, at only 25 cents per transaction, a very low threshold for beginners. A big bank will charge you four or five euros for a transaction, making it senseless to trade with very small amounts of money. Last, but not least: our app and articles use a tone of voice that is comprehensible to our users."
Three years ago, BUX was only active in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Did you expect to expand to the rest of Europe?
"Yes, from the very beginning I aimed to expand internationally. For now, we are focusing our efforts on Europe, but potentially, expanding our efforts outside of Europe is not at all farfetched…."
What do you consider the biggest challenge for your company?
"Attracting good developers for mobile phones is a big challenge. Also, many laws are constantly changing. We're not a big company, so we don't have an army of lawyers at our disposal. This makes dealing with legal obstacles, which is constantly needed, an issue."
Do you notice any trends in the financial sector?
"Much is possible on a technical level, but people seem to get lost in these technicalities. This has made it important to simplify the technical maze that exists today. A good example is Tikkie: it is an uncomplicated way to send somebody your IBAN. The big challenge is to somehow reduce al the complicated information to just a couple of buttons. This functionality is the same at BUX."
What do you value most about your participation in the Accenture Innovation Awards?
"In the land of startups there is a lot of competition. Being awarded the Blue Tulip at the AIA only happens if you put a lot of effort in your company. This makes the Accenture Innovation Awards unique. The recognition we received by winning this award was a great honor to my team. I consider the recognition to be the most valuable."
Do you have any advice for the participants of the 2018 Accenture Innovation Awards?
"Focus on your strong points and outsource the rest. This has been very important for our own success. Furthermore, look for international opportunities right away, and don't be afraid to attract investors. Many startups delay their efforts to attract investors, because they are reluctant to allocate shares to them. However, investors can accelerate your growth and expand your network."
*) BUX participated in the Accenture Innovation Award 2017 edition for the theme: Financial Services Reinvented.

Bites of My Life/
Winding down from a weekend I don't want to end. Nothing crazy happened and that's exactly why it was so great. Started with a solo sesh dinner, just me, my book and my you-pick-two then joined some friends for Girl on The Train. I didn't read the book which consensus says was a good thing; left for more suspense during the movie.
Saturday woke up for breakfast and barre with Lindsay then football and bowling with friends. Ended the day making loaves of pumpkin bread and settling into the couch for a triple feature of You've Got Mail, Friends With Benefits and A Walk to Remember.
Today consisted of the new season of Barefoot Contessa starting, a neighborhood kitchen tour, trip to Trader Joe's, walk with my mom, and a delicious dinner cooked not by me, but for me. A weekend of r&r that I want to repeat ASAP!
-New fav snack: handful of TJ's semi-dried frozen figs microwaved for 20 seconds with AB and CB drizzled on top.
-Celebrated the amazing company I work for with killer views and tasty treats.
-Cheers to The Social Order Dining Collective being offish!
-I love sneaking over to my parent's house for lunch. Even when my mom thinks there is nothing in the fridge I feel like it's always full with the best goods.
-Shared my go to work week lunch last week, did you catch the post? Another one of last week's posts here.
-Recipe test round one of Carrot Pecan Muffins. First round came out good, but I'm still perfecting the recipe.
-A perfect delivery of Perfect Bars. I'm a Perfect Bar virgin and can't wait to try these!
-I hadn't had Panera in about a year and the craving came on strong. Pulled up a table for one before joining my friends at Girl on The Train.
-Saturday gameday went from football to bowling with a gameday brat on the side.
-No better smell than loaves of pumpkin bread baking in the oven. Made a huge batch of my mom's pumpkin bread this weekend, recipe will be shared this week!
-The dreamiest pantry in one of the houses on the Nichols Hills Kitchen Tour.
-When you and your UT roommate make a bet on the OU/Texas game and you come out the winner! Bet was if Texas lost, Lindsay had to make me dinner, if OU lost...well we don't need to go there.

i love eggs. i love them made pretty much any which way. you can't go wrong with eggs.
i'm trying to break my tic of wrecking my nails, and i've gone back to painting my nails in an attempt to help myself along. so far, it's been two weeks since i've last torn into my nail beds, which feels pretty damn momentous. the first few days were difficult because i'd sit around, feeling extra anxious because i wanted to pick and pick and pick, but i don't know, somehow, i've made it two weeks, just picking at my cuticles and at the skin around my nails, which, also, isn't great, but i'm trying to focus on one thing at a time.
who knows when i'll relapse, but we're taking this one day at a time.
because i've been sick, i haven't had coffee since thursday. i know — 48 hours, oh, wow, that's so long. /sarcasm
one of my favorite things about coffee, though, is the ritual. i tend to default to either my v60 or bialetti (i've tried so many coffee-making methods, but those two are my favorite), and i had a bag of milk bar buzz i brought back with me from d.c. i never quite know what to expect from a new bag of coffee; i know what i tend to gravitate towards in coffee (low acidic, medium roast, notes of chocolate, caramel, peaches); and i follow my nose when picking up beans.
my nose, though, unfortunately, can't tell me if a roast will be too acidic or too bright, and that's often where a bag of coffee will disappoint. someone at four barrel told me that, often, coffee will taste too acidic because you're using too much coffee to water and/or it's been ground too finely, and, hey, maybe i should be getting a scale to do this coffee thing "properly" … but the idea of that makes me roll my eyes, too, because i don't know, i like the calmness that's in the ritual of making coffee, and i'm not that particular … or am i?
if you could look into the future, would you?
if you could see it, would you even want to?
i've got a feeling that there's bad news coming,
but i don't want to find it out.
- mika, "last party"
in the evening, i watch my mum arrange flowers into a bouquet. i think she should take a flower-arranging class because she enjoys it. i think i should finally get off my ass and take a pottery class because i think i'd enjoy that.
in the evening, i make dough for potato brioche. it'll sit in my fridge overnight, and i'll wake up early tomorrow to punch it down, shape it, let it rise in a loaf pan. i'm excited. fresh bread is one of the best things in life.

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that Tohubohu's latest entry in the 48 Hour Film Project, "You Pay Your Dues," is now viewable online. It will require QuickTime version 7, and is not downloadable (in other words, you'll have to be connected to watch it).
Our assigned genre was "Detective/Cop," and the required elements were: Roosevelt (or Rosie) Adams, president; a bracelet; and "That's what I'm talking about."
Thursday night's screening went extremely well got to say we're really excited about this one (and we've already submitted it for inclusion in this year's DC Shorts festival they issued an extension through this weekend for 48 Hour Film Project shorts). Thanks to everyone involved in this project; I truly think we've outdone ourselves this time.
Share and enjoy!

Endless Summer
Summertime is always the best of what might be!
Yesterday at Bald Head Island was the most glorious day I can possibly describe! The humidity was low, the sky was blue and the temperature was absolutely perfect! We spent time on the beach playing in the water, reading and walking. I finally started to relax...it takes a little while!
Rebecca took these pictures of Hudson and me yesterday afternoon and then we all went out to dinner and watched the sun set in the harbor.
I'm wearing the cutest Trina Turk shorts with a Michael Stars tank and Stuart Weitzman wedges. I'm linking the exact shorts and top and similar shoes below! Just click on the picture to shop!
Hudson and I are blowing kisses from Bald Head Island! I hope you all have the best day!

The Movies We Live In
I had just moved into that small studio right on the beach. You know, the bright one with the white walls and wall that was totally just a giant picture window looking out on paradise. You came over after a fight we had over some ridiculously stupid thing. We forgave each other and you held me close. I don't know what tipped me off >> if it was the way you held me just a little tighter as if you knew I was going to bail once I found out, or if it was the high pitched tone of your voice, or the way your hands shook just a little more than they usually did.
I asked, and you said you didn't. You were offended I would even ask something so insane. I believed you. I spent so many moments destroying myself by not trusting someone, so no more.
Then, just as the lightning began to cast a golden glow on my stark, white walls that had yet to be decorated, you said something that made me realize you had just lied to me the first time. I called you out, my hands beginning to shake as I faced the opposite direction from you, hoping I was wrong. You admitted you did it, after all.
I felt physically sick. I ran to the bathroom first, then grabbed my flip flops and walked as quickly as I could down to the beach in the pitch dark night. I stumbled, my bare toes hitting sharp rocks hidden in the sand. Another bolt of lightning lit the path just enough for me to find the weathered bench we would always sit on that was just beyond the sand grapes. Nothing was between the ocean, the storm and me.
I stared out at the emptiness, wishing it could somehow suck me into its void. The worst part of the storm hung directly over the white caps it was birthing, taunting me with its freedom.
I heard your feet against the rough sand and prayed you would leave me alone. As you tried (and failed) to put your arm around me, I pulled my knees up to my chest like I would do when I was a little girl. I played 'She Said' by Jon Foreman on my iPhone and continued to stare right at the storm and ocean carrying on their own version of the night.
I hoped that if I stared at them hard enough they would let me come into their world. The least they could do was teach me how to experience the same vacuity they so eloquently mastered, so I could no longer feel betrayal.
The way the music seemed to become a soundtrack, the way the lightning reflected a perfect version of itself on the ocean, the way the ocean reacted so violently, so angrily, so vividly to the storm that raged above it...it all created an atmosphere that made me feel like I was a mascara-stained actress in a scene of an indie film some people thought was great (some didn't.)
That's when I realized why people 'watch' movies, instead of 'live in' movies. I would never be able to rewind and go back to my favorite part of us. I also could not fast-forward past the healing, the struggle to understand, to a place where I was free of your ghost. Lastly, I could not step out of the movie theater and back into my life, leaving the characters to work through the fragments of their lives.
All I could do was stand up, and leave you alone on that bench, and know next time not to fall into someone's fairytale, because I would have to live with the remnants of what was left behind and somehow survive.

As I seek out dolls for friends and family, I have found authentic representation in black owned brands. That is, dolls that represent a cross section of African likeness and style, capturing the nuances of hair texture, facial features, skin tone, personality, and more. Watching the reactions of children when they see and play with these dolls is rewarding. Though they may not be able to articulate the resemblances and familiarity, their reactions speak louder than words. Upon review of the many doll options from black owned brands, you will find products from diverse businesses to suit a range of tastes and budgets.

I've been down and out with the flu over the past few days, and it hasn't been friendly – no voice, runny nose, fever, the works. My hope for recovery has been found in keeping up the positive energy, and to do this, I need to get back to the basics. I've cut myself some slack, stayed home, and returned my focus to a few basics that I have admittedly been neglecting over time.
The basics, for me, are - more quiet time, more colors andgreens, and more natural remedies.
Digital technology consumes the most part of our daily lives. We are almost always focused on our phones, computers, or tablets at any point in the day. Even when we fall asleep, most of us do so with our smartphone in our hands.
Not cool.
Thanks to the flu, this week I am focusing on cutting down my time on my phone, computer, and any other form of digital technology within my reach. As a result, I've already found more time to rest and regain my strength.
This is not rocket science, because it's about coming back to basics.
We often forget how much of our time is consumed by staring at our mobile screens. As difficult as it has been to stay away, getting myself to spend less time on my phone and computer has given me more time to focus on my recovery.
Our time is so precious. I, for one, am guilty of spending most of my hours on phone calls, the web, and social media. As with many of us, the nature of our work is the reason for this, making it difficult to step away from digital technology completely.
As a compromise, I have allowed myself this week to recover, and have allocated certain times in the day to connect with the outside world.
Yes, it is difficult, and yes, not everyone is happy with it. But I know that if I'm not okay by next week this time, I will only have myself to blame and everybody, including myself, will not be happy with me.
So, I'm getting back to basics.
Sometimes we just need to take heed of the alarm sounding off in our body, telling us we need to take it slow for the sake of ourown wellbeing. We need to stop, cut off and restore our state of mind, body and soul, so that we can return to our daily lives once again, revitalized and ready to conquer everything in our path.

Some people believe that spring is in the air. Hmm, I wasn't convinced as I downed a coffee and headed out the door for my two-and-a-half hour drive north from Brighton on the south coast of England to Silverstone. Grabbing my wooly hat and wearing layers turned out to be a good call. Spring can't come quickly enough as the only thing in the air happened to be a light drizzle.
Luckily, arriving at any motor racing circuit is enough to bring warmth to the coldest of days and today marked the start of classic motor sport season here in the UK. The event was the Pomeroy Trophy, affectionately known as 'The Pom', and represents the eclectic nature of the Vintage Sports Car Club.
As if to demonstrate this, a quick read through of the entry list shows that today's expected cars range from a 1906 Bianchi 28/40 through to a 2013 Renault Clio Renaultsport. As I say, eclectic.
The concept was first mooted by John Rowley in 1947, but because of petrol rationing it did not actually take place until 22 March 1952. It was won by Peter Binns in a Vauxhall 30/98. Although not Laurence Pomeroy's idea, it was his formula to calculate the efficiency of GP car engines that was used as the basis for the calculations and he presented the Trophy. An interesting aside is that until the event could take place, the Trophy was awarded for 'Outstanding Service to the Club' and was first won by Cecil 'Sam' Clutton in 1948.
Over the course of the day, competitors will take part in handling, acceleration and braking tests, followed by a High Speed Regularity Time Trial, not forgetting a test to make sure their car can carry two 'standard' VSCC size suitcases.
So, not only is this an eclectic set of vehicles, the rules of the game are suitably eccentric too. Unfortunately I was only attending the morning session as I had a few clients and new clients to meet and discuss the years plans with but wanted to at least use a few images to demonstrate the fun celebration announcing that the season is back after the winter break.
Chatting to a few guys taking part while waiting in the scrutineering line, it is clear that many have not been fettling these machines during the winter with one even noting that he had better put some air in the tyres as he hadn't used it since October. Others were starting the friendly banter with a couple moaning because they had agreed they were going to trailer their cars there and one had driven seemingly at speed. He had only broken down once and had still beaten the other to the paddock.
But the best arrival was met with the best comment of the morning. A 1964 Crossle 5S revved through the gates and skidded to a halt at the back of the line up with use of the handbrake. The Batmobile canopy raised forward and the driver emerged smiling and laughing where he was met by a warm handshake and the comment, 'Ah, and here he is, the reason why it's called a cockpit!'
I love this stuff. I hope you enjoy some of the pictures.
We're happy to be introduce Alex Lawrence, a photographer based in Brighton, England. You will fall for his style just as we have. He understands our love for motorsport and capturing it in a way that is just as beautiful as the act of racing itself. Alex lives in Brighton, England, and is working his way toward a career as a commercial photographer. Follow his journal as he takes you on the highs and lows of that journey.

In case you've been hiding under a rock lately, we at Zend have recently announced the 10th 11th annual ZendCon. (Originally known as The Zend PHP Conference and Expo, but we couldn't fit that on a URL)
Continuing the tradition of the past few years, we are introducing a new PHP ElePHPant and giving one to every attendee. Unlike past years we want to see how many of these things we can give away. To that end, we have setup a new program for PHP User Groups. For each member of your PHP User Group that purchases a ticket to ZendCon, we will send you one of the new PHP7 ElePHPants. That's right, you too can build your own private Pachyderm Posse.
Here's How
If you manage a PHP User Group (PUG Life, Represent!) here are the steps you need to take to participate.
- Request a tracking code discount code. This code is good for $100 off the price of any ZendCon ticket by emailing email@example.com.
- Send out an email to your PHP User Group mailing list letting your users know that they can save $100 off of any ZendCon ticket (including the Early Bird!) using this special code.
- After ZendCon, we will send you one ElePHPant for each person that used the code. You can horde them in a secret closet and take them out to play with them late at night…or you can use them as raffle prizes for your group. It really doesn't matter to us. (and honestly, if it's the former, we'd rather not know)
That's all there is to it. They do all the work, you sit back and collect ElePHPants. (PUG Life!)
So get your magic ElePHpant code? today! Drop Adam (@adamculp) Culp an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tell him that you want to start building your own private horde. Also, tell him the Name, City, and country of your PHP User Group. He'll send you the code.
Suggested Email Copy:
(Just copy and paste this, change the necessary fields and shotgun it out to your PHP user Group's mailing list)
Hi all,Our friends at Zend have a special offer: You can get a $100 discount on the ticket for ZendCon, one of the most important PHP conferences in the world. ZendCon is taking place in Las Vegas in October: 19th to 22nd. See http://www.zendcon.com/ for more information about the conference and the speaker line-up.
If you go to ZendCon, you'll receive a special PHP7 plush elePHPant as well! And if you use our discount code, this also means we'll receive an elePHPant to raffle at our meetups! So you'll get one yourself, and ensure one of our other members will get one.
Interested? Use the special discount code PUT_YOUR_CODE_HERE (or simply PUT_YOUR_LINK_HERE).
Please note: The cheap Early Bird prices are still valid for now, so if you want to get your ticket for the lowest price possible, get it now!

The DIY Music Scene: A Blessing and a Curse?
The following is an excerpt from the e-book Take Charge Of Your Music Career: Learning To Think Like a Music Entrepreneur. I wrote this e-book a few months back for the purpose of helping DIY musicians think differently about the changing music market and finding their place within it. What follows below is the first chapter of the book. If you'd like to read more, the entire e-book is currently available as a free download here. Enjoy!
A few years ago, no one could have predicted that the music industry would be completely turned on its ear.
A few years ago, no one could have known that cheap digital technology would enable independent musicians to create recordings in the comfort of their homes—recordings that can rival the quality once only attainable in recording studios. No one could have anticipated that these same independent musicians would post their work on the Internet and gain sometimes millions of fans, all without the assistance of record labels or the music industry "establishment."
It's an exciting time for the music community, one that is filled with possibilities. It's also a scary and unpredictable time, because the pathway to success has become much more vague. If the road to becoming a successful professional musician were an actual road, it used to be a clear, paved road with plenty of road signs, and now it's basically become a labyrinth of unmarked trails. There are more ways to get where you want to go, but finding the right path can still be a challenge. This is a general way of saying that the new DIY market can be both a blessing and a curse.
A decade or two ago, if you wanted to become a serious musical artist, the goal was fairly simple: get noticed. The music industry establishment—that is, the record companies and their network of promoters and distributors—were pretty much the gatekeepers to fame and fortune. These people were the tastemakers—the ones who decided who would get heard by the public. So if you wanted to gain a national or international following, the primary focus was to get the attention of someone within the establishment who would rally to your cause—in other words, to get "discovered." Sometimes this happened by performing in clubs where talent scouts were known to visit. Many other times, it involved recording a demo and sending it into the A&R departments of record companies.
The good thing about this system was that it was a fairly simple strategy to understand. The bad thing was that a great many people were pounding at the door, and only a few managed to get through. The collective fate of millions of aspiring musical artists was basically at the mercy of a few gatekeepers who decided which of them had the potential to become financially lucrative for the record labels. The odds were incredibly stacked against you, no matter how talented you were.
To make matters worse, as more and more people started pounding on the doors of the industry establishment trying to get noticed, the record executives got more and more selective. At the same time, as the music industry got bigger and more corporate driven, the record labels strayed from their original missions to be risk-takers on new talent, and began playing it more safe and going by formula, only signing new artists that they were reasonably certain would turn a profit for them. Eventually, it got to the point that record labels wouldn't even look at new artists unless they were already drawing huge crowds to their shows or selling thousands of their own self-produced records (which, of course, required a huge amount of investment money up front from the artist). This made the process even more selective—and it also meant that more and more of the music coming from the industry establishment was starting to sound the same, because the labels weren't taking risks anymore.
Right about this time, two huge developments began opening up more opportunities for small-time musicians. The first was the advent of digital recording, which could yield a high-quality sound at a far lower cost than traditional analog recording. The second was the rapid expansion of the Internet. Since both of these technologies could be accessed through home computers, the combination of the two meant that musicians could now access high quality recording technology, record their own music, and then share it with the world, all from the convenience of their laptops.
In theory, at least, this meant that musicians no longer needed the approval of major music industry executives to reach their audience, because they were now able to create records on their own and make the music available to an audience through outlets like MySpace and YouTube. In short, musicians were now able to bypass the establishment without having to get "discovered." At around the same time, music fans were getting increasingly bored with the music that was being allowed through the established channels, and the Internet now enabled them to find and connect with these new do-it-yourself musicians. Over the span of a few years, this trend mushroomed, and the modern indie music scene was born.
This shift has had positive results for musicians everywhere. For some, it has simply provided a new avenue for them to attract music industry attention (an increasing number of indie musicians have still managed to get "discovered" over the past few years through their success on MySpace and YouTube). But many other indie musicians have realized they do not need the approval of the music industry anymore, and they have forged successful careers as completely independent musicians. (So prevalent is this trend, in fact, that a growing number of label artists have ditched their labels and "gone indie" in the past few years.) The impact this is having on the musical landscape is so profound that today we have notable indie acts like Bon Iver and The Lumineers drawing crowds of thousands, selling millions of records, and receiving Grammy nominations and awards, all without the support of major labels—something that was unheard of only a few years ago.
While these new realities have opened many doors for musical artists, not all the news is good. The other side of being a do-it-yourself musician is that—well—you're doing it all yourself. While label artists usually have the luxury of a team that handles their promotion, booking, management, marketing, and the recording/production of their music (leaving them to focus more on their performance), indie artists are left to figure out how to manage these other aspects of their careers. If you are an indie artist, you either have to handle all these things yourself, or you have to hire someone to handle them for you—and if you're like most indie artists, you're not that rich. So you end up shouldering the burden yourself.
Another pitfall associated with the wide-open indie market is that in many cases, there is no one to teach these new free-agent artists about the ins and outs of the music business. They can do their own marketing, but they don't really know the first thing about marketing. They have the ability to record their own music, but they don't know the first thing about audio engineering or producing a record. They are responsible for booking their own gigs, but they don't know how to make a press kit or reach out to venues. In short, artist development is largely left up to the artist—and the artist is often clueless. Some have given themselves a crash course in the new music business, figuring stuff out as they go, and some of these have done all right for themselves. But many others, unfortunately, end up floundering and frustrated, not understanding why the tactics that worked for others don't seem to work for them.
Yet another obstacle to consider is that because it is easier and cheaper than ever before for indie musicians to get their music into the marketplace, there is simply more music available than ever before—more music, in fact, than the average person could ever listen to. This means, in effect, that as an indie musician, you have a lot of competition. If you try to convince yourself that you aren't in competition with anyone when it comes to your music, you are being naïve. Music fans only have so many dollars to spend on music, and only so much time to listen—and thanks to cheap technology, more bands and artists are clamoring for those dollars and that time. You will have to find creative ways to stand out among the throng.
The reality of today's new musical landscape is that while it has opened up more opportunities for musicians, it hasn't necessarily made life any easier. The music business is still an extremely difficult field to break into, and it will still require a great deal of stamina and work on your part if you are serious about breaking in. That's not really news—this has never been an industry for the faint of heart.
But while the cost of success (in commitment level and "sweat equity", if not dollars) has not really changed, the rules for success have changed dramatically. If you're willing to put in the effort, the odds of success are actually more in your favor than they were a few years ago. But to navigate this new path, you can't simply think like an artist waiting to get discovered. You have to think like an entrepreneur. You need to take personal responsibility for your success, and think in terms of forging your own career instead of waiting for someone else to help you.
And this is perhaps the greatest blessing of the new DIY market: you really do have more control over your destiny. Indie musicians are now empowered to take charge of their careers, instead of waiting for some industry gatekeeper to deem them worthy. You still have to put in the work, but if you can think like a business person, you will be able to see opportunities in this new market that others may have missed, and use those to your advantage.
You can make it in this business. You just have to think a little differently.

Hilary Dancer Original oil painting on canvas Lights of the City
- $ 1,801.24
- ¥ 12,723.84
- € 1,622.15
- £ 1,485.00
"I can be inspired by a single image, a piece of music, or a fleeting moment in time; but I always look to capture the essence of a scene, portraying what is felt along with what is seen." -Hilary Dancer
Imbued with vibrancy and movement, Hilary Dancer's light-filled paintings pulse with energy. Influenced by both the Impressionist painters of the mid-nineteenth century and the later Abstractionists, Hilary has developed a calculated, yet expressive style all her own. Her dynamic, dazzling cityscapes, as well as her dancers in motion, capture moments in time unlike any other artist working in the UK today.
In the solace of her studio, Hilary works in oils, acrylics and mixed media as she seeks to continually experiment with colour and texture. It is through this process of experimentation that Hilary's work takes on such a lively, dynamic nature and allows her to effectively capture the true spirit and spark of her subject. Balancing composition, mystery and drama, Hilary entices viewers to actively engage with her paintings.
Hilary's cityscapes strive to capture the timeless living nature of an ever changing, yet static landscape. At a distance, Hilary's cityscapes appear architecturally precise; yet the closer the viewer gets to her work, the boundary between that which is static and that which is in motion becomes transfixingly blurred.
As an artist of committed and continual evolution, Hilary's work never ceases to excite galleries and collectors alike. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the country and continues to expand its presence on the global market.

Considered some of the most intricately-designed pieces still available today, Capodimonte lamps are exquisite. Hand-crafted out of only the finest materials, more and more collectors are searching for these beautiful pieces to add to their collections. With so many options for design, size and style, Capodimonte lamps are proving to be very popular, no matter the style. From large Victorian pieces to small table lamps, Capodimonte is a staple for elegant and sophisticated style.
About Capodimonte Porcelain
The lamps and many other Capodimonte products are constructed out of fine Italian porcelain. Capodimonte was a factory in Naples, Italy, started in the mid-1700's, later moving to Madrid years later. Their original signature mark was a blue fleur-de-lys, and is best known for their detailed figurines. Many products have been produced by Capodimonte, including lamps, chandeliers and decorative pieces, and many of these pieces are very popular among collectors today.
Capodimonte Lamps
Intricate and ornate, these special lamps come in a variety of styles and designs, and are constructed of only the best materials, including:
· Brass
· Porcelain
· Marble
· Velvet
Made of only the finest Italian porcelain, Capodimonte lamps have stood the test of time and are still widely available online for avid collectors.
Capodimonte Lamp Designs
There are many unique designs and signature marks of the Capodimonte brand. The fleur-de-lys was the first signature mark and later, more marks came into existence, like the crown mark that can still be seen today. Capodimonte lamps come in a variety of different designs, including:
· Victorian women
· Animals
· Floral designs
· Cherubs
Some lamps are small table lamps, while others are large standing lamps. No matter the size, the ornately-designed pieces are perfect to add style and elegance to a space. Many collectors choose to showcase these pieces at shows or at auctions. Some are just aficionados of the Capodimonte brand and choose to collect them for their home. Either way, the Capodimonte brand lives on.
The Capodimonte Legacy
Finding pieces that are still in existence today and are in impeccable condition can be a challenge with many vintage products, but Capodimonte lamps have stood the test of time. Many of these lamps are for sale online and at auctions and are very popular additions to any space, traditional or contemporary. It can be difficult to find a piece that can complement any space.

At the end of the day, count the number
of computers that have been left actively running with something displayed on the screen. Your organisation could be losing up to $327 a year for each computer left with the screen running all the time. Your organisation is also likely to be losing $8 a year for each computer left in standby mode (it appears to be switched off but small lights are glowing on the monitors, hard drives and lap tops). These are estimates for computers that are used for 40 hours a week – energy wastage would be higher for computers
that are only used part time.
of computers that have been left actively running with something displayed on the screen. Your organisation could be losing up to $327 a year for each computer left with the screen running all the time. Your organisation is also likely to be losing $8 a year for each computer left in standby mode (it appears to be switched off but small lights are glowing on the monitors, hard drives and lap tops). These are estimates for computers that are used for 40 hours a week – energy wastage would be higher for computers
that are only used part time.
Talk to your manager about the costs and ask to raise it at a team meeting. Discuss it with your team. Be very clear about what you are asking them to do – that they turn off computers and monitors at the end of the day, preferably at the wall. Ask them what might help them to switch off, or what might be stopping them. Commitment helps! Your team could develop an agreement as a group that everyone will to commit to making this happen. Listen to our webinar on behaviour change to help you develop an effective approach for your workplace.
On random days, every now and then, after everyone has left for the day, leave a small chocolate or treat on the keyboard of those who have switched off their computer and standby power. Include a little note congratulating them for saving energy and $$$ for more important things. This is about culture change and encouragement, so don't shame or blame those who didn't switch off. Perhaps leave a little note reiterating your organisation's commitment to switching off computers and saving energy.
SECRET SWITCH OFFIf you're a bit shy you can try turning off people's monitors after they've gone home. Your colleagues will notice when they log on the next morning. They will wonder who is doing it, and perhaps whether they should be doing it themselves.
A POWER BOARD PERHAPS?Standby power boards make it easy to switch everything off, and some models make it easier to notice when things are left running. These normally cost between $10 and $20, and could pay themselves off in months if they are switching off continuously running computers.
GET SET WITH YOUR SETTINGSFor instant savings you can set your computer to dim the screen, turn off the display, or put the computer to sleep after a given period of time of inactivity. For most office computers, this can be adjusted in the Control Panel, hardware or Power Options on your start menu.
SET UP YOUR COLLEAGUESFor even bigger savings, get the whole office set up efficiently. Most people don't know how to adjust their power management settings, and this could be a barrier to big savings. Ask your IT people to send out instructions to all staff, or have someone adjust all computers to the most efficient settings.
SCRAP SCREENSAVERSYour workplace is losing big $$$ if inactive computers are displaying bright patterns, photos or any other moving or still image. Rather than saving your screen, they are costing your organisation hundreds of dollars in wasted energy.
THE GREEDY GLOWMany office phones now have luminous LED displays, and these can account for up to 40% of the entire standby power usage on your desk. If your work has a centralised message bank you may be able to switch your phone off with the rest of your desktop equipment at the end of the day.
PRINTER POWER DOWNMany modern printers have timers and other efficiency settings – make sure these are set so that inactive printers switch to sleep mode. You could speak to your office manager about including the printer in shutdown and lock up procedures for the end of
the day.

Food Display Showcase First, they should be placed in parallel when the food is placed, if it is different classification can be taken vertically to display. The display of goods, classification and classification should be vertical lines between clear, Food Display Showcase goods and commodities should be equal and tidy, chicken and chicken in a line, pigs and pigs, cattle and cattle, and so on, the other basis of this analogy, should be clearly divided, so easy to manage, convenient for customers to shop. If the showcase has two floors, we can place some small portions of cooked food in the upper layer, and the multi-component can be placed on the lower floor.
Then there is the meat display cabinet all the food should follow the advanced first out of the principle of the problem, and generally we can divide food into hot food and non hot food two categories. Second, according to the small classification of hot food is divided into grilled, fried, halogen, fried, steamed class, Food Display Showcase non-hot cold food category; bread is divided into bread, Western pastry, pastry, cakes and pastries. The display must be classified according to the large category, the small category, Food Display Showcase the similar one product displays in an area, and is marked clearly.
Pay attention to comply with the advanced first out of the principle, the garage on the front end of the line, the new products placed in the inside, and placed in a neat and orderly. At the same time, we can also according to the characteristics of cooked food products and seasonal changes, so that the display of goods also occur a certain change, normal sales of good merchandise, Food Display Showcase should be given to increase the display surface, improve sales.

The SNP government has built or refurbished twice as many schools as the previous administration, Holyrood researchers have found.
There were 607 schools built and refurbished between 2008 and 2015, compared with 308 in 1999 and 2007 under the Labour/Liberal Democrat coalition, data obtained from the Scottish Government by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Spice) shows.
SNP MSP Jenny Gilruth, a former teacher, said: "As many young people from across Scotland head back to school this week, some reflecting on their recent exam results, it is encouraging to know that many thousands of them will be doing so in new or refurbished schools.
"These figures highlight the importance the SNP has placed on providing both pupils and teachers with the very best learning environment. As a former teacher myself, I know the difference that a modern, accessible and welcoming school building can make to pupils' attainment and to the performance of staff.
"The SNP's manifesto promises to build on the success of our Schools for the Future programme, which has been responsible for these rebuilds and refurbishments. The sustainability and efficiency of our schools is also vitally important - ensuring that our pupils and teachers are able to work in positive and modern buildings, which undoubtedly helps our pupils to learn.
"As the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has made clear, education will be the absolute priority of this SNP government and I'm delighted to see more work being done to improve our school estate - to ensure the new or refurbished schools that young people are returning to this week are top of the class."

A number of Houston Texans players considered walking out of the facility after comments by Texans owner Bob McNair, saying that "We can't have the inmates running the prison," when discussing players protesting the national anthem in a meeting which was published in an ESPN piece today. Star receiver DeAndre Hopkins was among those upset about the comments. He and other players left the facility, but all except Hopkins came back shortly after speaking to the coaching staff. When asked about why Hopkins was not at practice later that day, Texans coach Bill O'Brien had this to say via Ian Rapoport:
#Texans coach Bill O'Brien describes WR DeAndre Hopkins as taking a "personal day," explaining why he wasn't at practice today
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 27, 2017
Now come on, we all understand that it wasn't a personal day, and this comment is pretty scathing. Comparing the players to inmates?? I get if you don't agree with what the players are doing, but the players have the right to do what they want during the anthem, as it only is suggested that you should be on the field standing during the anthem in the NFL rules. I'm not a big fan of kneeling or sitting during the anthem either, but to compare the NFL is a prison just shows that some owners aren't even remotely concerned about the players' point of view, or their reasons for doing what they do during the anthem.
The comments sparked a lot of reaction from all over, who voiced their opinions over social media. One interesting one in particular comes from Texans rookie safety Treston Decoud, who had this to say on Twiiter:
I don't believe he is the only owner that feel that way… smh
— Treston Decoud (@_TD31) October 27, 2017
who knows? Maybe he isn't, and this could be the foot in the door that opens up a whole mess of comments like these from owners around the league. I'm not going to say this is on the Donald Sterling race level of stupidity, but McNair is certainly in some hot water after telling the world how he really felt about these protests. He tried to save face by posting this apology through Texans PR on Twitter:
Statement from Texans Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. McNair: pic.twitter.com/EXdwKZ4y4x
— Texans PR (@TexansPR) October 27, 2017
What do you think? Is McNair going to be shown the door after these comments? Or are the players overreacting to a "figure of speech" as McNair puts it in his apology? Let us know in the comments below.

The Ectoplasm-Gold Converter is a body armor introduced in the Ghostbusters' 30th Anniversary Update. As the name depicted, it can convert Ectoplasm, which is dropped from ghosts, into . It also provides an additional 10% Accuracy.
The Vest needs 1,000 Ectoplasm to Convert it into 1 . This is only usable possible during the Ghostbusters 30th, Ghostbusters, and the Superstars Events. Getting less than 1,000 Ectoplasm per game will not give you any gold at all, and it has a limit of turning Ectoplasms into only 1 per game.
Below the armor is a Military Green Cotton T-Shirt with No Special Features.
The Armor Itself has a strange looking Apparatus on the Front Side, with tubes which have green goo inside and some sort of electric fan on the chest. The collar is big and covers the whole neck. Below the electric fan, there seems to be a small green container with 3 black dots on the top, right and left, as well as 1 bigger dot in the center.
The Armor is held by Black Belts which can be seen on the Backside of the armor.
This is very similar to the Always Ready body armor with the Ectoplasm-Gold Converter replacing the backpack and the vest.
Trivia Edit
- This is one of the rarest items in the game by far due to the fact that it's never been available for sale and both of the Ghostbusters Events (as said above) are very difficult to complete.
- In Ghostbusters' 35th Anniversary, the ectoplasm counter is not present and grants the player 1 as long as they finish the round.

2013 Holden VF Commodore Xbox One Racing by Triple Eight Racing
Microsoft's continued promotion for the upcoming release of Forza Motorsport has gone to a whole new level after announcing that it was fielding a specially prepared Holden VF Commodore to compete at the 2013 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, the V8 Supercar Series' equivalent of Formula One's Monaco Grand Prix.
Since Bathurst will be included as one of the race tracks in Forza 5, it represented an opportunity for Microsoft and its subsidiary studio, Turn 10 (the folks who made the game!), to capitalize on promoting the highly anticipated game ahead of its November 22 release, while also turning some heads with an incredibly worked-on Holden VF Commodore race car.
The car came to life as a collaborative project between Triple Eight Race Engineering and Xbox Australia, with the intention of running it up Bathurst in the hopes of actually winning the crown jewel race of the V8 Supercar Series calendar.
The race car's emerald green color is direct homage to the Xbox's traditional color, while all the bells and whistles of a full-fledged race car were all installed. Exterior components, like a front lip spoiler, the wider wheel arches, the side lamps and the large rear wing, can be found on the VF Commodore. It's the same story with the interior where all the usual accessories of the road car were taken out to accommodate all the safety equipment that is required for race cars.
Finally, the Xbox One Racing VF Commodore boasts of a 5.0-liter, V-8 engine that produces 650 horsepower, allowing it to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds to go with a top speed of 185 mph.

2013 Holden VF Commodore
Despite being a revered model in Australia since it made its debut in the 1970's, the Holden VF Commodore is nearing its last legs as a model.
That's precisely why the 2013 model should be a treat for fans of the high-performance saloon. After all, not a lot of cars in Australia can match wits with the Commodore, especially it's propensity to easily hit 350 horsepower and 381 pound-feet of torque, thanks to a 5.0-liter, V-8 engine that also allows it to break 60 mph in just a shade above four seconds to go with a top speed of 165 mph.

Nokia & Intel Join Forces to create MeeGO, a Linux based OS for Multiple Device Segments
The experts thoroughly realize that Linux based operating systems cater to a niche market and that leaves us in a dilemma as to why Nokia and Intel had to join forces and collectively develop MeeGo in the future. In layman terms, Nokia Maemo and Intel's Moblin have been combined to create a software platform dubbed the MeeGo and it will support numerous hardware architectures stretching across the broadest range of gadgetry.
This broad ranging involves anything from a mobile computing device to a tablet or a media phone and even a car infotainment system.
Both Intel and Nokia will quickly work on the development of MeeGo and gadgets featuring the software platform will hit the market by the end of this year. What is still a mystery though is the kind of doodads which will first grace the platform.
As per Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the merger will create an ecosystem that is second to none. I think the two behemoths should place their best bets on the in-car infotainment to adore this platform the most! [via: Infosyncworld]
