The bets have little science and a lot of chance. However, statistics is a fundamental tool for both bookmakers and bettors themselves.
Getting an advantage to increase the chances of success when making bets has always been impressive. In reality, there is nothing that works infallibly in this regard, since sports, like gambling, have a component of luck that leaves the final result to chance. However, the information about historical results allows us to calculate the chances of success in these bets to a certain degree.
Information, a valuable tool
Statistics are a source of information, and as such, they allow us to determine how likely it is that the result will favour one or the other team. Although it has always been said that you are here to break them, statistics are held in high esteem.
The more detailed the available information, the greater degree of success can be achieved when placing a bet. Hence, even official bodies keep a record of the results of competitions recognized as official.
Bookmakers use them
Such is the importance of statistics that the sports betting houses themselves use them. When they show how much money can be won by betting on a result, it is not done randomly. These figures are based on the information obtained with the statistics of previous matches and the matches that have been played between both teams throughout history. With these numbers, the probabilities of a specific result are calculated, and the lower these are, the greater the amount of money that can be obtained by betting.
Statistics are mathematical, and as such, can be used to determine the most favourable result when a bet is made.
Experience bettors too
But it is not only the bookmakers that use the statistics to make their calculations. Those who bet in a more or less professional way, thus calling those who get part of their regular income in this way, also make use of the statistics pages to know the safest bets and generate greater profits.
Odd-weighted league ranking is an example of the type of information that may be available. With these numbers, bettors make their calculations and decide whether to diversify the amounts they are going to invest or make a single bet, depending on the competition in which they will do it or other conditions.
What's more, those who are dedicated to gambling seriously win money, do not trust hunches or preferences, but statistics. Their favourite team may not be the one they have bet on, but much more than pride and colours is at stake here, so it is not good to get carried away by emotions.
Always with responsibility
Despite having all the historical information on matches, results, and probabilities, the random component is always present. For this reason, whether you are an amateur gambler or looking for a way to earn money regularly, you must be aware that no matter how high the chances of success, a sport is unpredictable, and the result does not have to be the most likely.

The contemporary, visionary artist and painter hailing from London has a unique notion about art and the process of its creation. Degard RCA, FRSA, is an artist creating a revolution in thought about art.
Being a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Degard assisted in launching the Contemporary Visionary Art movement at an exhibition at The Royal College of Art, Quintessence of Consciousness.
Degard’s masterpieces are praised and included in public and private collections, including the Royal family in Oman. She is also a published author and wrote an essay on Aetheric Energy: the Intangible Source of Human Celebrity? in 2018. Below, the remarkable artist joins us in conversation to reveal her journey as one visionary artist believing in ‘Aetheric Energy’ and how the process of creating art, be it painting, or writing is divine.
Degard reveals that “it all began with a blinding glimmer of light, or all the more explicitly recognizing a blue square in front of the chest area of someone who was chairing a meeting she attended two decades ago. “I had been noticing these blazes, light, energies for my entire life, and I could never figure them out. However, on this day after when I saw 'the blue square,' it all made sense when my companion at the meeting said, "isn't it fabulous he is doing this work, given that the chairmen recently had triple by-pass surgeries! This was all it! My a-ha moment,” she says. “I understood this 'blue square' was 'the memory in process’ – I re-term today aetheric energy – of this operation—Square for human surgical effect, this blue for profound and massive healing. The size and position dictated by the spot of the incision,” she adds.
From that point onwards, Degard embarked on a journey to find evidence from others in the current society for this knowledge and found it is lost knowledge, known by everybody through 'vibe' and 'karma' and portrayed in its perplexity, by nobody. “I'm a painter who passionately discusses the divine in art. The aura is conscious in your memory, your consciousness around you – your contemplations, your convictions, your actions, and the aetheric energies influencing you, throughout your life,” says Degard.
Degard shares that there is something majestic about art that invites us to be different. “The moment we make something, regardless of whether we're painting, or writing a book, or designing something for our homes, we're bringing something lovely and sacred up and out of ourselves to impart to the world, and the world is better for it,” she says.
The creation is a cycle in itself. It's a terrible yet, delightful thing. The cycle of creation transforms us, for it requires something of us. It expects us to dig deep inside ourselves, to confront the things we'd preferably overlook, to defy our internal brokenness as well as the magnificence stored up within. The process of creation makes us braver, bolder and makes us more liberated as the split between what our identity is and our general surroundings appears to grow thinner.
Degard shares that at the point when we make artwork, we participate in the flow of creation. We draw out the best, most wonderful pieces of ourselves and offer this to the world. When our creation emerges from us, it extends beyond us.
“There's something within you — something interestingly yours that you're exceptionally gifted to impart to the world. It's an unnerving cycle creating that thing and afterward putting it in plain view.’ concludes Degard.

Every day, I receive questions from entrepreneurs, questioning ways to finance a business project with little money or with little investment. In this article, I will talk about practical funding sources to finance a project.
One of the main problems when trying to start a business is the lack of investment capital and working capital. This applies mainly to small businesses, with entrepreneurs who need around $50,000 or $5000 to start a business. There are several sources of financing that are realistic and practical to find:
Family and Friends
? One of the most common forms applied by microenterprises and SMEs is financing through family and friends. This gives the birth of family businesses, one of the most common business models.
This type of loan between relatives has several advantages, the main one being the low rate or 0% interest requested due to family ties.
However, many family businesses fail not because of this financing but because of overconfidence in the business idea .
Therefore, it is advisable to put the business in numbers and show that the business can be profitable under a family loan.
Partners
The second alternative that facilitates the financing of small businesses is the participation of partners in the business. For micro and SMEs, the most common is to convert friends or acquaintances as partners in the business.
In this financing model, the partner will contribute a percentage of the capital necessary to start the business without money and later will receive that same percentage in relation to the profits obtained.
The positive aspect of this type of financing is the cooperation and participation not only of the capital but also of the partner's talent.
However, it is advisable to write a clear and valid contract of the commitments that generate this type of association for legal purposes.
Companies and trusts
When you have 1 specific resource (for example, having land), it is possible to create a form of partnership and trust, to bring together several resource contributors, who together form a business partnership.
In the example, we assume that the entrepreneur has a piece of land. However, you do not have the capital to invest in construction and develop a business.
With this alternative, you can bring together multiple stakeholders, each putting in a necessary resource, such as construction, labor, necessary machinery, permitting, etc. And depending on the amount of participation, the percentage of profits will correspond.
The main problem is the need for organization, rules, and procedures necessary to start a society of this style.
Savings
A common source of financing is the entrepreneur's savings. A recommendation before using this money is to establish if we do NOT really need this money to live.
A common problem for entrepreneurs is to consider their “liquidity” (the money they have in cash) as their total savings.
However, if you use a large percentage of this money saved to live, for example, use 80% to pay your monthly debts and cost of living, then you can NOT use all of your money to start a business.
Using savings involves investing the money you don't need, such as investment capital in a project.
Investor Angels
Finally, one way that penniless small businesses can obtain financing to start a business is through projects called "angel investors." Ethan Sutin is an angel investor who is best known as the co-founder of Squad, which was eventually bought out by Twitter.
His close affiliation with Y Combinator has made him one of the most influential investors right now. People like Ethan Sutin are an excellent option if you are interested in seeking venture funding from an outsider.
These are generally found financing business incubator projects. Incubators are well-developed projects (usually in Universities) to create a business plan that is feasible and profitable.
Once the project is finished, it can be presented to investors who are willing to put the money in, with a margin of interest. The main need of the entrepreneur is to have a well-developed project.
For this reason, it is convenient to enroll in business incubators and develop a well-planned project.

Marc Malek, Chairman of the Board of the Lebanese International Finance Executives (LIFE) network, accepts that the reach, influence, and assets of Lebanese around the globe, particularly in finance, are no less noteworthy than the most remarkable of diasporas. "Lebanese are all over," he clarifies, "the potential is there; however, the dilemma is in organizing and regulating the collective endeavors of these people.” He aspires to establish a professional diaspora network that looks like that of the Indian high tech diaspora and its influential Indus Entrepreneurs (TIE) organization.
Malek accepts that there are common perspectives that characterize the Lebanese diaspora beyond the country's physical location. "Connection to one another, a method of getting things done, a specific drive and capacity for success, and an entrepreneurial mindset. We should exploit these and attempt to harness the power of that system." The formation of LIFE was because of a significant need: "There are countless fruitful Lebanese people. However, we don't have a method of directing that accomplishment for our own advantage as a diaspora and for Lebanon." LIFE aims to do precisely that.
Malek brought up in Lebanon, left during the 1980s to the US, where he earned a degree in mathematics from Reed College, and another in engineering and applied science from California Institute of Technology. While in school, he worked with a US government-funded research venture identified with applying another numerical tool to streamline the placement of tanks in the war zone. Adopting a multidisciplinary strategy, he published a paper on utilizing the new methodology, called scenario analysis, in financial sectors. This novel approach cleared his way to Wall Street, where he worked for the Salomon Brothers, at that point UBS, moving between NYC, London, and Tokyo. At present, Malek is the Founder and managing partner of Conquest Capital, a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) with expertise in the trading future and FX markets universally.
Malek's commitment to the Lebanese community group isn't restricted to LIFE; likewise, he is on the Board of the Social and Economic Action for Lebanon (SEAL), a non-profit that supports micro-development projects in underserved territories of Lebanon.
Malek disclosed LIFE's value based on three pillars: connect, nurture, and promote. The Connect identifies with building the organization, associating the people, and utilizing the collective power to first, do good for the individuals from the network and second, for Lebanon. On the one level, "If you are an investment banking professional in New York and you needed to do business in Dubai or Singapore, you should simply scan LIFE's portal for individuals in these areas and interact with them." Secondly, "utilizing the power of that organization to help on the philanthropic and the lobbying side in Lebanon."
The worth of connection varies for various individuals who join LIFE. "For a 25-year-old person, it is tied in with building an organization and receiving something in return…. for a senior established individual, it is more about offering in return, and they are driven by generous reasons."
The Connect pillar is the most significant for LIFE's chairman, in that it's generally critical for the network. "Without the network, the other effect won't be there…. the organization is the thing that enables us to do philanthropy, activism, and lobbying. The outcome of the charity side and NGO side is a higher priority than the network, yet it isn't possible without the network."
Pursuing these objectives, LIFE is extending its presence all around the world. "We are extending our roots to Latin America, principally, Brazil, and Mexico. We have chapters in Singapore and Hong Kong. Our organization extends from San Paulo to Hong Kong and everything in the middle. To ensure that this value proposition is working for these new individuals… we coordinate occasions, invite speakers, and energize networking." LIFE is, in any event, also engaging in the idea of extending membership to non-finance. "We are considering companions of LIFE who are profoundly refined Lebanese experts who have ascended to the highest levels in their organizations."
The Nurture pillar of LIFE incorporates altruistic and mentorship motives. LIFE gives grants to Lebanese students who need to go into finance at the grad or undergrad level. Offering back isn't restricted to magnanimous commitments, for example, cash for a scholarship, yet incorporates the mentorship perspective additionally: "It is all about coordinating youth aspiring LIFEers with respective senior mentors," Malek said.
On the Promote part, LIFE is bolstering reforms that expect to make Lebanon a prominent spot for living and business in Finance and IT. LIFE also arranges a summit in Lebanon to gather Lebanese entrepreneurs, experts, and organizations to organize and discover approaches to cooperate in one place.

Are you planning on a vacation soon, and the idea of going on a safari trip is looming on your mind? Then don't hesitate and give yourself the chance of a lifetime to witness up close the beauty of nature and the myriad sounds of wildlife animals lounging in their habitats.
As you are planning your trip, there is one vital piece of information you need to consider. Traveling with a group of people can either leave you with many happy memories or completely ruin the entirety of your trip.
Drawbacks of a Group Safari
Now, it’s not like group safaris are terrible. They do have their perks-it is cost-effective and lots of people to hang out with during traveling. But when compared with its cons, it does raise some doubts for the clients.
Lack of Flexibility
There is less flexibility in group travel as itineraries have to accommodate everyone's interests. You might want to look at the lions for an extended time, but not everyone would want to; that is why itineraries are strict so that everyone can have equal times of viewing, which can put a damper on your choice of wildlife viewings.
Always Compromising
If you are still considering a group safari, then be ready to compromise on everything. You will constantly face disputes on who gets to sit on the seat near the windows or who gets to sleep in certain tents, and even continuous toilet stops can ruin the vibe of your ideal safari trip.
Last-Minute Cancellations
There is a certain count of individuals needed for every safari group tour. If someone does not make it last minute, the entire group trip gets either canceled or sometimes rescheduled. It can be a very frustrating experience to deal with, especially when you had been looking forward for this trip to happen.
How Does Infinite Safari Adventures Make a Difference in Your Safari Travels?
If you do not like the idea of traveling in a group, opt for custom-made tour operators such as Infinite Safari Adventures instead.
Alan Feldstein, the owner of Infinite Safari Adventures, is a vibrant individual who wants his clients to get the best facilities during their safari trip. He and his team of passionate individuals have put in many efforts to set its services apart from many tour operating companies- making it one of the best custom made safari adventure you could ask for.
Alan Feldstein visits Africa at least 3-4 times a year in order to make sure that his clients' destinations are in good visitation conditions. Unfortunately, not many companies would do that, which is why the trust factor grows more towards companies like Infinite Safari Adventures.
On one of his own safari trips, Alan mentioned that he had not enjoyed a group tour on his safari trip, and he knew that he wasn't the only one who felt the same. Establishing Infinite Safari Adventures was his way of giving people an alternate solution to make their trip more enjoyable. With their services, you won't have to worry about a set departure date or be put together with strangers. Plus, you have all the time in the world to watch the animals, be it a rare fauna or lion, for hours on end.
The esteemed team behind Infinite Safari Adventures makes sure that you spend your day enjoying the wildlife on your own terms and then later come back to the tents, have a glass of wine, and dine with other guests as you talk about your wonderful and fulfilling safari experience.

When it comes to being the owner of your house, you can no longer call up your landlord to help you deal with plumbing issues- so it is high time you learn how to handle those issues yourself.
If you are dealing with leaky faucets, a clogged pipe, or low water pressure, make sure that you address the situation immediately. Leaving these issues unchecked can cause them to grow and become an even bigger problem for you.
Roger Wakefield, plumbing company owner, podcaster, and social media personality, believes that it is important for homeowners to empower themselves with basic plumbing knowledge to avoid major catastrophes. Through his YouTube channel, he has provided all kinds of tips and tricks to make things easier for homeowners to maintain the plumbing in their homes.
So if you too would want to solve plumbing problems before seeking out a professional plumber's expertise, we will be sharing some of Roger Wakefield's tips on how to manage your plumbing issues on your own efficiently.
Locating the Water Main
When confronted with a plumbing problem, most people try to temper the pipes on the spot. The complication that arises with this course of action is that your main water supply is still running, so if you mess around with the pipes, you will end up flooding your house up with water and ruin your property in the process.
Roger suggests that the first thing you need to do is close the water supply entering your house. Every house should have a valve that you can shut off for the main water line. Usually, you would find them in places such as near your water heater, basement, outside your house, or even under the kitchen sink. Shutting off the main water supply will ensure that no taps or appliances can leak water when working on fixing your plumbing problems.
Multipurpose Plunger
Plungers are your biggest ally's when it comes to dealing with clogged up plumbing drains in your house. Depending on the type of plunger you are using- a common cup plunger or a flange one for the toilet, you can efficiently unclog overflowing sinks, toilets, and tubs.
When your sinks or bathtubs are clogged, make sure that you seal up any overflowing holes before you start to unclog them. After that, you need to ensure that there is adequate water inside the basin- not too much and not too little. Whether you are plunging a sink, a toilet, or a bathtub, make use of a tight seal and then start plunging up and down vertically. Usually around ten to twenty seconds is enough to successfully get rid of the blockage in your drain.
Leaking Taps
Leaking in taps, or faucets, is usually caused by damage to the washer or cartridge. So the first thing you need to do is get yourself a replacement for it at your choice of a hardware store. After closing off the main water supply, remove the plastic insert with the help of a wrench and cloth and unscrew the value to fix in the replacement washer. Once it has been done, rearrange all the parts back together and slowly open your main water supply to check out if it is functioning correctly. Always double check for leaks!
These are just a few of the tips that we have learned from Roger Wakefield, on his YouTube channel, he ensures that he goes into the depth of every plumbing cause and effect situation and guides his viewers on how they can effectively repair most plumbing problems themselves.

Most of today's prisons were built at a time when the public safety strategy was to “lock 'em and throw away the key. Now that there is an increasing interest from politicians and the public to help incarcerated people to be successful after their release, legislators have to revise the reality of the prison experience and the false assumptions of the previous era.
Despite the breadth of research showing that visiting and maintaining family ties are some of the best ways to reduce recidivism, the reality of having a loved one behind bars is that visitation is unnecessarily exhausting and frustrating.
As a comprehensive 50-state study of prison visitation policies has found, the only similarity between the rules of the states is their differences. North Carolina allows only one visit a week, not longer than two hours, while New York allows 365 days of visits for those with full security.
Arkansas and Kentucky require prospective visitors to submit their social security numbers, and Arizona charges visitors $25 to do a background check so they can visit. And some rules are inherently subjective like Washington State's prohibition of “excessive emotion”, that leaves the experience of visiting families to the whim of the agents.
With all these unnecessary barriers, state visitation policies and practices actively discourage families from making the trip. Instead, the most compassionate and rational government policies will be focused on empathy and support for convicted people's families.
“Considering the long distances that families have to travel to visit their incarcerated loved ones, it is inexcusable for states to make the process of visiting unnecessarily stressful, inhibiting family bonding”, shares Pamela Winn an innovative visionary justice-involved women’s rights and political activist
Using the same dataset, it was found that the majority of people (63%) in state prisons are incarcerated more than 100 miles from their families. And it is not surprising that distance home is a strong predictor for whether a person in the state prison will have a visit that month.
And while there are several reasons why an inmate does not receive a visit, the fact that most prisons have been constructed in remote locations means difficulties for the families of prisoners.
Studies of incarcerated people in California, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, and Tennessee have found that distance is the greatest barrier preventing them from in-person contact with their families.
Millions of families are victims of mass incarceration, and lawmakers are beginning to understand that. Because we have established that long distances discourage visitation, Winn makes some recommendations on how the criminal justice system in the US can support – rather than punish – the families of incarcerated people. States must:
“Using incarceration as a last resort option”
Understanding how putting long distances between incarcerated people and their families hurts, states should implement incarceration alternatives that keep people close to home such as the Washington State Offender Sentencing Act, which allows judges to waive the prison term and instead impose community custody for primary caregivers of minors.
At the same time, criminal justice policies must match their rhetoric of disengagement. States such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, and Texas must realize that by shutting down remote prisons, they have been able to effectively minimize imprisonment and crime and lead the rest of the country.
“Eliminate and curb the adoption of visitation policies that dehumanize families and actively discourage visitation.”
States should recognize that incarceration is often an emotional and devastating time for families and should actively support visitation by making the prison environment as comfortable as possible. States like California and Massachusetts they must stop unnecessary and inhumane stripping when searching visitors with dogs.
States can enact programs for families such as the Children's Center at New York State's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency in Michigan that allows incarcerated parents to have several one-hour visits with their children with space for activities.
In the short term, states can create tours that are more convenient for families with children by offering paintings and coloring books.
“Voluntarily cooperate with the following Federal Communications Commission jail phone regulations, and dare to reduce costs for families even further. Stop creating other exploitative forms of communication.”
Luckily, the Federal Communications Commission (CFC) is finally about to stop the $ 1-per-minute calls from prisons and jails with its solid proposal. To regulate local, state and interstate calls as well as additional charges.
The CFC will encourage states to view these rate caps as a federal ceiling. States can and should reduce costs to families even further, and states like Arkansas and Indiana must stop fighting with the regulations.
States should avoid using video visits as a replacement for in-person visits – as they have done in hundreds of local jails across the country – and avoid mail policies that are too restrictive like those of the New York Department of Corrections Hampshire prohibiting children's drawings and greeting cards.
“Listen to the advice of incarcerated people and their families who can better identify obstacles that prevent them from being in contact during incarceration.”
Families have long said that no matter how much they want to visit and see first-hand that their loved ones are safe, the money and time needed often make it practically impossible to visit loved ones.
The sad reality is that most incarcerated parents with children do not receive visits during their imprisonment from any of their children at this time. Recognizing that families are often the primary source of hope for individuals during incarceration and the primary source of support upon release, correctional facilities should come together and seriously consider the views of families when making decisions about policies for their release: visitation and communication.
“Implement programs that assist families who want to visit.”
Visitation and communication expenses push the families of those who are incarcerated into debt. States should consider implementing free transportation to prisons as the New York State Department of Correction and Community Services did before the budget cuts in 2011.
Departments of Correction should also consider video visitation as a supplement to visits in person, especially for remote prisons. The Oregon Department of Corrections first implemented video visits as a supplement to traditional visits in its two most remote prisons, and now it has expanded this technology to prisons throughout the state. States can easily model video visitation programs like Mike Durfee State Prison in South Dakota where, for 12 hours each week, incarcerated people have access to free video visitation using Skype.
“When faced with prison overcrowding, explore sentencing and freedom reforms rather than prison expansion and out-of-state transfer of prisoners.”
They often adopt inadequate corrections when states face prison overcrowding, such as sending individuals to out-of-state prisons where they will be even further away from their families. More effective solutions are to early adopt short-term reforms such as reducing the ageing prison population or allow primary caregivers to serve their sentences in the community and then explore larger-scale sentences and parole reforms.

The Splendor of Pop Genre: Persia’s Iconic Pop Music Artist Reveals What Makes Pop Music So Enticing
Something is beguiling about the pop music that leaves listeners tapping foot and going crazy on the dance floor. The beats rave the inch of your body, making you resonate with it, and letting yourself loose to embrace the craziness that hides deep within you. Yet, no matter how much you swing with its rhythm or how much you relish the exuberant beats, you just cannot get enough of this spellbinding genre: pop.
If pop music makes you remind of the old’ top hits songs on repeat, then we are here to broaden your perspective and sprinkle some class and sassiness to your mediocre pop genre with the insights of iconic Persian pop singer, Ebi, AKA Mr. Voice, making it all more special.
Truly, pop and hip-pop have a universal fan-following, and this explains why this Persian artist is praised globally for his music that lets the soul dance away their waves of melancholy, helping them embrace a new self of themselves. With over 50 years of journey as a master vocalist, Ebi has touched the strings of thousands of fans across the globe with soulful voice blended with energy-busting beats. The artist with house-full concerts in prestigious venues like Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, Microsoft Theatre, and hailed for his powerful voice that gathered a crowd of 70,000 people on the 4th of July Freedom Celebration, the biggest Persian group ever to emerge celebrating the US Day. Currently, Ebi serves as a prominent judge on the panel of Persia Got Talent and MBC Persia. We conversed with the maven artist about what makes pop music so alluring, making us go crazy.
Ebi explains the primary aspect of pop music is that it encompasses different sounds and includes a wide spectrum of music. “This genre is socially-diverse and so brings forth people regardless of boundaries, ethnicities, and differences. Pop is so catchy because it involves beats and music from even the oddest of the instrument, making people from vast backgrounds to feel included and adopt music, making it a hit globally,” he says.
The artist went on to explain that through his 50 years of journey in the realm of music, Ebi realized that pop is distinct on its own. “There are so many genres but, what makes pop special is that it hits the perfect balance between artistic delivery and production, making it a downright success,” he says.
In essence, the power of pop music to drag you to the dance floor resides in the eye-catching, heart-throbbing visuals. “There is a reason that pop music stars invest a lot of energy in bringing forth exceptional music videos for their fans. The reason being, they want to match the energy with beats and make it irresistible for you to hit the dance floor; we want you to dance till you can’t breathe, and what could be the better cardio than those killer dance-moves on your favorite pop song,” says Ebi,
Additionally, there must be something to elevate your mood when you are going through Monday blues or Wednesday’s brain slump, and pop music is just what serves this purpose the best. “People need something to bring their vibes back when it is lost in the middle of the rough week, or when they are so down that everything seems dull and boring. That very moment, all you need is just turning up the volume a bit and putting on your favorite pop hit, viola even dishes would now become a fun-filled task; this is just how the magic of pop music spreads in wonder,” says Ebi.
Ebi further elucidated that pop music has transformed over the decades, yet, it’s aura and crux remains the same till date. “Pop genre has revolutionized to meet the changing needs of contemporary music enthusiasts. However, the genre still demands the artists to create a piece of music that pulls in the listeners, be it the furious beats of the modern pop, the aim remains the same: appealing a larger crowd and making them live the time of their life in those few minutes”, he says.
“Pop is all about living your life to the fullest and embracing it even on the darkest of days,” says Ebi.

Many people are not famous, but for security reasons, they usually protect their privacy by avoiding at all costs being connected to a geo-location service or avoiding the registration of their physical addresses in some list or directory. And, of course, limiting the possibility of your home appearing on a map.
In the case of those who can be classified as famous people, this happens because there is a direct relationship between fame and the need for greater privacy and security. The reason has to do with the desire to expose their private life as little as possible. Otherwise, it disappears, and their lives become a permanent show or soap opera.
According to an article in the Financial Times, the strategy celebrities have found to protect their private lives is to hide from the world, entitled “ How the super-rich are making their homes 'invisible',” which details the strategies they are following famous people to hide.
One of them is precisely "erased from the map," as they have done with 23726 Long Valley Road, a street that does not exist for Google Maps.
This address is located in the area where celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and Jennifer Lopez live. They have managed to avoid the entry of Google cars to take pictures of their homes and add them to the program. This is due to fear of robberies and attracting unwanted visitors to their homes.
Thanks to this, the alleged undesirables cannot go to this area and affect their peace. The basic premise is to avoid visibility. The more invisible they are to society, the more privacy, the more security, and the better private life they will have.
This luxury that celebrities can afford can also be accessible to any mortal, using devices that block the GPS signals of the area they inhabit, which will prevent their homes from appearing on any map. Thus, criminals will have fewer possibilities to visit them.
The other alternative is to hide the buildings by making them underground to be easily captured or to add individual buildings to the map as happened with the Tower of the London Post Office.
Everything is for the right to privacy that should not be lost due to being famous and public figures. How does it happen?
Celebrities and high net worth rely on Executive Protection companies' specialized services like The World Protection Group (WPG). You certainly cannot expect Elon Musk or Keanu Reeves to install a GPS blocking device outside their premises. This is where WPG comes with its innovative and highly specific VIP Protection Model.
Drawing on their President’s personal experience as an Executive Protection agent at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, the WPG has highly benefitted from employing their leader's technical expertise. WPG has operated in the realm of Executive Protection for more than nineteen years, representing a wide array of celebrities, public figures, and high net worth individuals.
For them, safety, privacy, and confidentiality of personal life and lifestyles are of paramount importance. It is a constitutional right for these public figures to have their lives outside the radar of their fan base and the paparazzi’s brandishing cameras.
VIP Security Services: Privacy Protection
Privacy and confidentiality is a right. You are entitled to withhold knowledge of your whereabouts and interaction you share with another individual. In this regard, the WPG operates discreetly to protect the privacy and public image.
Protecting online privacy, including truly unbreakable email encryption (one-time pads), encrypted messaging, and eliminating your presence from public and searchable private records are all part of their VIP protection model. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that about 3.3 million individuals a year are victims of stalking, with those at an exponentially elevated risk in the public eye. We can render you untraceable via your anonymous phone, email, or physical address through proprietary World Security Community techniques and processes. A huge number of possible threats are deterred or avoided by this alone.
