We are living in an era where there are artists with millions of streams on Spotify who cannot draw 50 people to their local shows. Just because you have a million streams does not mean you have a million fans. Yes, getting on a few hot playlists can skyrocket your monthly listeners and streaming numbers overnight. Playlists are fickle and do not get real FANS into your world. We are too obsessed with the playlist game. There are only so many slots and only so many playlists. For one, you’re fighting against every label, every distributor, every manager and every artist for coveted playlist slots. Despite what you might think, you do not want to bet the horse on getting on Spotify playlists. And he’s A OK with that because he’s making a solid living and has 0% commission to pay out to anyone. And he’s been largely ignored by the industry. He did this all on his own, without the help from the industry. And if you don’t know how to utilize it effectively, it won’t work for you. The Facebook Ad Manager, though, is not just for Facebook ads. Yes, I know, that you’ve probably run Facebook ads in the past and you were less than thrilled with the results. +Streaming and Instagram Growth Advertising Training This is not a fluke and this is not because of the kind of music he makes. And his CPC has increased of course because the general fluctuation of the FB ads platform). ![]() At this stage he’s spending around $3,000/month on ads, but making back around $20,000. (Today he’s spending a lot more on advertising, but earning a net positive ROI. he is very active on there – responding to comments and messages), these people who started off as passive observers turned into die hard fans. And because his music is great and his Instagram is engaging (i.e. Spending about $10 a day, he was pulling in around 500 new fans per day. They came pouring into his world and eventually he was getting fans to click his ads at around $.02 per click – putting every marketing expert to shame. Specifically, he mastered the Facebook Business and Ads Manager and ran all different kinds of video ads targeting fans of similar artists. He utilized direct marketing strategies on Facebook and Instagram to find his audience and get them into his world. His music focuses on mental health awareness. He showed me his Instagram inbox which is flooded with fans telling him how his music saved their lives. ![]()

12/24/2023 0 Comments White vanilla bean frappuccino![]() ![]() How do you make a vanilla bean frappuccino without ice cream? To make a homemade vanilla bean frappuccino, you combine ice, milk, and ice cream in a blender, blending until well combined. How do you make a homemade vanilla bean frappuccino? What does a vanilla bean frappuccino taste like?Ī vanilla bean frappuccino tastes very similar to a vanilla milkshake with a very light and creamy vanilla flavor but a little less sweet. No, since vanilla bean frappuccinos have a cream base instead of a coffee base, there is no caffeine in them. Common questions about making a vanilla bean frappuccino Do vanilla bean frappuccinos have caffeine in them? Additionally, serving it with whipped cream on top really makes it complete so don’t skip on that! You can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste if you want a stronger vanilla flavor but I thought just the ice cream was more than enough. It has the closest flavor to the original frappuccino. Now I do suggest using vanilla bean ice cream instead of french vanilla or any other variety of ice cream. You can make quite a few of these drinks for the price of just one from the store! it’s so easy to make and really tastes the same! Something else I love about making Starbucks copycat recipes is how cost-efficient they are. Now for this copycat version, you need just 3 ingredients – vanilla bean ice cream, milk, and ice. It has a cream base that is hard not to love! Now this recipe was a favorite of mine when I was little and I didn’t like coffee.

If the government increases spending on the military, then the opportunity cost will be less spending on another public service, such as health care. PPF and recessionĪ recession can be shown by output falling below the production possibility frontier (from A to B).Īny government faces a trade-off in how to use scarce resources and tax revenue. Similarly, a decline in investment can enable more consumer goods in the short-term but can lead to lower rates of economic growth. Increase in capital goods has an opportunity cost of fewer consumer goods, but in long-term can enable economic growth.
12/23/2023 0 Comments Underwater submarine ship![]() ![]() Whichever side controlled the coastline also controlled the shipping imports from Europe and Coastal America, which contained critical resources such as clothes, food, artillery, medicine, and, at times, reinforcements. Though most of the fighting occurred on land, a critical element of the war was the power struggle at sea. During the course of the battle the weaponry changed and such things as: mines, accurate guns, more deadly bullets, torpedoes, and “ ironclad” ships became a new standard. In the beginning of the war, combat was fought with bayonets, horses, wooden ships, and imprecise artillery. The Confederacy comprised Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The Union comprised California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The Civil War, Ap– April 9, 1865, was a domestic American war where the Union (also called the north) was locked in combat with the rebellious Confederates (also called the South). Examination in 2012 of recovered Hunley artifacts suggested that the submarine was as close as 20 ft (6.1 m) to her target, Housatonic, when her deployed torpedo exploded, which caused the submarine's sinking. Hunley did not survive the attack and sank, taking all eight members of her third crew with her, and was lost.įinally located in 1995, Hunley was raised in 2000 and is on display in North Charleston, South Carolina, at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center on the Cooper River. On 17 February 1864, Hunley attacked and sank the 1,240- ton United States Navy screw sloop-of-war Housatonic, which had been on Union blockade-duty in Charleston's outer harbor. Both times Hunley was raised and returned to service. She sank again on 15 October 1863, killing all eight of her second crew, including Horace Lawson Hunley himself, who was aboard at the time, even though he was not a member of the Confederate military. Hunley (then referred to as the "fish boat", the "fish torpedo boat", or the "porpoise") sank on 29 August 1863 during a test run, killing five members of her crew. She was then shipped by rail on 12 August 1863 to Charleston. Hunley, nearly 40 ft (12 m) long, was built at Mobile, Alabama, and launched in July 1863. She was named for her inventor, Horace Lawson Hunley, shortly after she was taken into government service under the control of the Confederate States Army at Charleston, South Carolina. Twenty-one crewmen died in the three sinkings of Hunley during her short career. She was the first combat submarine to sink a warship ( USS Housatonic), although Hunley was not completely submerged and, following her attack, was lost along with her crew before she could return to base. Hunley demonstrated the advantages and dangers of undersea warfare. Hunley, or CSS Hunley, was a submarine of the Confederate States of America that played a small part in the American Civil War. ![]() 12/23/2023 0 Comments Save google passwords![]() ![]() It looks however as if it could become the new default option for all Chrome users who are signed in to Chrome but have not turned on Sync.

It is also the largest private employer in the world with 2.2 million employees. Walmart is the world's largest company by revenue, with about US$570 billion in annual revenue, according to the Fortune Global 500 list in October 2022. They eventually divested their shareholdings in Grupo Big to French retailer Carrefour, in transaction worth R$7 billion and completed on June 7, 2022. Since August 2018, Walmart held only a minority stake in Walmart Brasil, which was renamed Grupo Big in August 2019, with 20 percent of the company's shares, and private equity firm Advent International holding 80% ownership of the company. ![]() It has wholly owned operations in Chile, Canada, and South Africa. The company operates under the name Walmart in the United States and Canada, as Walmart de México y Centroamérica in Mexico and Central America, and as Flipkart Wholesale in India. Īs of October 31, 2022, Walmart has 10,586 stores and clubs in 24 countries, operating under 46 different names. It also owns and operates Sam's Club retail warehouses. The company was founded by brothers Sam and James "Bud" Walton in nearby Rogers, Arkansas in 1962 and incorporated under Delaware General Corporation Law on October 31, 1969.

That way, at the very least, you’re giving everyone a chance to be heard, even if you end up refereeing certain points and deciding certain things had to be the case that other people don’t believe were the case. Part of it is to try to understand everyone’s rationale. How do you approach that if you’re writing an account that’s basically sympathetic to everyone? The people involved often have strong and conflicting ideas about that. Well, at least it is in my family! When you write such a detailed account of so many interlocking relationships, you can get tangled up in the issue of who’s responsible. As Robert Kolker writes in Hidden Valley Road, his history of the Galvins and the disease that shaped their lives, “Certainly no researcher had ever encountered six brothers in one family-full-blooded siblings with the same parents in common, the same genetic line.”īlame-or responsibility-can be a big issue in family histories. Six of the couple’s 10 sons, born between 19, developed schizophrenia, experiencing delusions and hallucinations.

The result is the tablet’s mobile hotspot network will always be chosen if it’s turned on, assuming you wouldn’t have turned it on if you didn’t want to use it. The mobile hotspot will only be selected over others if it’s turned on, so it’s safe to make it a preferred network. Are they a fad or game-changer? We examine the productivity benefits, opportunities, and myths. Executives have pushed for them, IT departments have accommodated them, and users continue to clamor for them. This is a bizarre design decision on Amazon's part, considering the Scribe's exorbitant price tag.The hottest device in the enterprise remains the tablet. To add to that, the Kindle Scribe lacks an IP rating, so it is just as vulnerable to the elements as the entry-level Kindle. The software is also quite stale and is in dire need of refreshment. Although admittedly, the chunky body of the tablet makes it a little tough to hold it for very long.Īmazon offers magnetic cases for the Kindle Scribe that come with a slot to hold the stylus, but they need to be purchased separately. Much like any other Kindle, the Scribe lasts for weeks and it has a Type-C port, so you can read for extended periods of time. The e-paper tablet from Amazon doesn't lag, nor does it face the ink "ghosting" issue that's common with flagship E Ink tablets such as the Nova Air C. Writing is that much more fun on the Kindle Scribe because of its wonderful levels of contrast and paper-like screen. The 7-inch display itself is as lovely as you'd expect, with support for 16 grayscale shades, a pixel density of 300ppi, and 35 LED lights working together. You can also choose between 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB memory options. You get to choose between the very aptly named Basic Pen and the slightly better Premium Pen when picking up the Kindle Scribe, with a price difference of about thirty dollars. Amazon hopes to change this with the Kindle Scribe, the first Kindle ever to come with stylus compatibility. Kindles are go-to e-readers for most people, but not when it comes to e-ink tablets with writing functionality. Size makes it uncomfortable to use for extended periods The Kindle Paperwhite Kids device also comes with Amazon's two-year worry-free guarantee and an Amazon Kids+ trial and the inclusion of the Vocabulary Builder and Word Wise tools for young readers. It also boasts a battery life that's more than twice as impressive as the Kids Edition at up to 10 weeks.Īmong the best features of the Kindle Paperwhite Kids is the 17 built-in LED lights and adjustable warm light, which allows users to better personalize their reading experience. However, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids seems to target kids who are a bit older with the Tree and Robot Dreams case options, in addition to the standard Black. Kindle Kids Edition, the Kids Edition still offers more case color options. ![]() In the battle of the Kindle Paperwhite Kids vs. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids also improves upon the Kindle Kids Edition screen, trading in the 6-inch, glare-free 167ppi display with the with a larger 6.8-inch anti-glare, 300ppi display. That being said, the new device features a handful of improvements that make it worth the upgrade, including a new waterproof design that's been tested to withstand accidental immersion in water. If you already own the Kindle Kids Edition, you don't necessarily need to rush to buy to the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. The outdated USB port has one of the worst designs we have ever seen on a cable, with horrible connectors that are prone to breakage. No one owns a micro-USB cable anymore and for a very good reason - it sucks. The design is also unique thanks to a sleek aluminum frame, and overall, the Oasis is the best e-book reader I've ever used.Īmazon really needs to address the elephant in the room, which is the antiquated micro-USB charging port. It makes a drastic difference in day-to-day use, and emulates the feel of actual paper much better. I've used my Kindle Oasis (2019) for the better part of a year now, and my favorite feature is the warm light. Oh, and the 2019 edition also comes with adjustable warm light, making it a fantastic option. The ambient light sensor is particularly handy at night as it lets you read comfortably without straining your eyes. Two other features are exclusive to the Oasis - physical page turn buttons and an ambient light sensor that automatically turns down the brightness in dark environments. It also has 25 LEDs that provide much better backlighting than the other models, which is much-needed given its large stature. The Kindle Oasis has the same 300ppi display as the Paperwhite, but it is much larger and measures 7 inches wide. ![]() |
