  We live in a capitalist world in which supply determines demand. If you reduce supply or increase demand, society will be obliged to accept scarcity, whether genuine or perceived. On February 16, 2021, the artist Beeple sold his Everyday: The First 5000 Days for a record-breaking $69.3 million in cryptocurrency at Christie's auction house. No auction house had before authorized the sale of digital files created on blockchain technology, nor had they ever accepted cryptocurrencies as a payment option. Bitcoin shares have already climbed to over $24,000 during the Covid-19 epidemic of 2020, a 224 percent increase. Two months after Beeple's historic art auction, Bitcoin set a new high of more than $64,000 per share on April 14, 2021. As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to NFTs, new cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain.Visual artists and musicians, writers, videographers, and others in the creative industries became aware of NFTs and the benefits they could provide to the art community. While the physical world appeared to be shutting down, the digital cosmos survived, grew, and entered new paradigms. Using the Internet as a revenue source during a global pandemic was a clever, new, and modern way for artists to continue their livelihoods. Artists have been able to advertise themselves to a wider audience as the NFT industry increases and become more mainstream, even if they have a minimal history in digital arts. Well-known public figures also benefit, perhaps reducing financial chances for lesser artists. Major brand familiarity and high-profile influencers encourage transactions across large corporations. Celebrities are now not only producing limited edition NFTs but also branding their own "social money." Social currency is a type of cryptocurrency released by a brand, community, or influencer to make their fans feel important and a part of their particular fandom.This book examines the technical underpinnings of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, notably

  In Israel and the Cyber Threat, Charles D. ("Chuck") Freilich, Matthew S. Cohen, and Gabi Siboni provide a detailed and comprehensive study of Israel's cyber strategy, tracing it from its origins to the present. They analyze Israel's highly advanced civil and military cyber capabilities and organizational structures to offer insights into what other countries can learn from Israel's experience. To achieve this, they explore how and why Israel has been able to build a remarkable cyber ecosystem and turn itself, despite its small size, into a global cyber power. The book further examines the major cyber threats facing Israel, including the most in-depth look at Iranian cyber policies and attacks; Israel's defensive and offensive capabilities and the primary attacks it has conducted; capacity building; international cooperation; and the impact of Israel's strategic culture on its cyber prowess. By placing Israel's actions in the realm of international relations theory, the book sheds light on many of the major questions in the field regarding cyber policies. 
   
   
   
  The most authoritative work to date on Israeli cyber strategy, this book provides a comprehensive look at the major actions Israel has taken in cyberspace. It also places them in the broader context of global cyber developments to help listeners understand state behavior in cyberspace.

  Audiology - The Science of Sound...

  Audiology is the branch of science that focuses on the study of sound, hearing, and balance. It is a multifaceted field that encompasses the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various auditory and vestibular disorders. The role of audiologists is essential in identifying hearing impairments, providing interventions, and promoting overall ear health, which plays a vital part in communication and quality of life. 
  Sound, in its simplest form, is the vibration of molecules in the air that travel as waves to our ears. As one of the primary ways humans perceive the world around them, hearing is not only crucial for communication but also for safety, socialization, and enjoyment. Audiologists specialize in understanding these complex processes and the challenges that arise when they are impaired. Their work involves not only diagnosing hearing loss but also managing conditions related to balance and the inner ear, both of which are intricately linked. 
  The study of audiology dates back to the early 20th century, with significant advancements made throughout the decades in both technology and methodology. Today, audiology has grown into a highly specialized field that includes a range of services, from basic hearing tests to advanced procedures like cochlear implants and balance rehabilitation. Audiologists employ a variety of diagnostic tools, including audiometers, tympanometers, and specialized tests, to evaluate hearing and vestibular function. These assessments are critical in identifying the specific nature of auditory or balance problems, which can stem from a range of causes such as aging, genetics, illness, injury, or environmental factors.

  A hilarious personal account from within the walls of the asylum.  
  Unbelievably true stories that will make you laugh out loud while wincing at the shocking detail. This book will leave you wondering how society can be so seriously messed up, and how collective minds have malfunctioned. Not just for those with mental disorders, but those supposedly treating the afflicted. 
  This is definitely not a recruitment advert for mental health nursing. 
  This is a hard-hitting reality show. As the author says, “It’s a warts and all” account — meaning not just the warts but also the halitosis, the skid marks, and more. A pig wearing lipstick is still a pig; you cannot sugarcoat reality. 
  Your jaw will drop often, but it will be exercised with laughter throughout.
