Drawings and homemade videoclip of Genesis' song "For absent friends"

@paolobeneforti: Today I did some drawings to illustrate an old Genesis' song, "For absent friends". It's been years since I thought to do it! Then I recorded a quick cover for the song (me at voice and guitar, not so well!) and created an homemade videoclip.

The Beautiful Hips Glow and the Country is at War Because of a Dance

@ayijufridar: A dance has a long history-especially the classical dance that still survives to this day. Dance is not only limited to art but has to mean and is a very deep and wide symbol. Dance is the identity of a nation that reflects the characteristics of a nation-state. Dance is not just a rhythmic fusion accompanied by the sound of music, whether music emerging from musical instruments, recorded music, or "music" born from the human body. Saman or seudati dance in Aceh, for example, harmonious sounds coming out of the human body.

Supply and Demand on Steem

@GuyFawkes4-20: Think about it, what are you providing to the people through your posts, if thousands are doing the same thing, is nothing special. But, if you’re doing something out of the ordinary, you will always stand out and be noticed by more. Keep in mind; this is not only about getting rewards but about gaining a follower’s base and engaging with them because that will help you more in the long term, especially when the mass adaption comes.

Reward Comparison: 1 DTube Upvote vs. 1 YouTube View

@jeffbernst: Recently I’ve been thinking about the earning potential of a big YouTuber that comes over to DTube. Usually someone with a following will attract some big upvotes, but what about the thousands of followers that a YouTuber can bring with them to the platform. This video is a comparison between how much a YouTuber can earn from a single view, versus how much they can earn from a single upvote from a new user on DTube.

[오늘의 English 단어] #51. A, B, AB, O! 나쁜 피가 있다고? - Bad Blood

@bree1042: Today I'd like to teach Bad blood. Is there bad blood and good blood in human body? I don't think so. But there is bad blood between some people. It has nothing to do with your blood by the way. It means "ill feeling, hatred, or dislike between some people usually because of what happened before among them".

Blockchain Bachelor’s Thesis – Information Overload and How to Deal with It: Initial Brainstorm

@fingersik: I have underwent three main brainstorms about the work so far. Firstly I came up with the topic and the motivation why to concentrate on it. Secondly I created a draft of the work. This week I wanted to sump my “unique” knowledge about the subject. By unique I mean the knowledge that has never been mentioned anywhere in the texts I have read so far.

Paranın Değersiz Olduğu Ülke

@zuma: Küba anlamı yaşamak için güzel bir yer. Dünyadaki az sayıda komünist ülkeden biri, ancak o kadar ilginç bir yaşamı barındırıyor ki sanki başka bir dünya başka bir zaman. Küba da neler olmadığını merak ediyorsanız önce oradan başlayalım.

Stand up! Your voice is worth something!

@teachblogger: Women are in different roles in our lives. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters. Unfortunately, they can't see the respect that they deserve. If you want to see why people are unhappy in our world, you may want to read my post!

A Secret to A Strong Friendship

@jassennessaj: FRIENDS are the one who will support you on almost everything, sometimes, even on stupid things. They will always try to understand you even when you're being unreasonable and too difficult to deal with. They're more affected than you when someone tries to hurt you. They can turn into angry bulls to defend you against your enemies. They can be your shoulder to lean on during difficult times. Moreover, they can be your biggest bullies when they use your secrets against you just so you will agree to do what they want you to do
