In Support of the Amy Winehouse Foundation

It’s almost nearly 8 months since the passing of the wonderful singer-songwriter Amy Jade Winehouse. Amy has had a successful career in her active years and had many occupations and musical talents, from singing to playing instruments. Since Amy’s passing her friends and family thought of way she can still have an impact on people lives by starting the Amy Winehouse Foundation. The Foundation was founded on September 14, 2011, which would have been Amy’s 28 Birthday. The event was set to help and support a charitable foundation that goes to help young people in the UK with ill health, disability, ﬁnancial disadvantage or addiction.

The Foundation is also setup to where anyone could set and plan an event with the Amy Winehouse Foundation. They will also help and support to organize an event and setting with them. One of the many ways to help support the foundation is through fundraising page, but before submissions are made you must register the event the foundation first. You simply just have to fill-out and online sponsor form, and then you’ll also have the ability to use the Amy Winehouse Foundation logo for promotions and help in aid of the foundation. The foundation clearly explains that when the support is giving to the foundation you will be act “in aid of” or ‘supporting’ the Amy Winehouse foundation. It is up to the fundraisers to take full responsibility for event use, collected funds, and chosen venue’s.

If any plans are planed and set to happen, you must take responsibility to get permission and permits from local authority. You don’t need licenses to sell food and have vendors, but you should make sure your vendors and staff prepare food the meets the standards of the Food Safety Act. Personally, I believe in this foundation to be great cause and can have a lot of potential to help much of the youth in the UK. I don’t see why the foundation wouldn’t grow enough to also help communities and youth centers here in the United States. Seeing as Amy Winehouse inspired many in the US with her brilliance and strong spirit that she has influenced and inspired.

Jobs Changed the Industry with Digital Streaming

In the mist of all the legal fights with the record labels and publishing companies suing File Sharing service, college dorm students, and even down to the Internet provider. The fight against music streaming via Internet was unstoppable. Jobs worked hard throughout his life putting a marketing plan that would help not only just the record labels get there sales, but also give consumers a wide range of a music library. When Jobs was putting iTunes together, he introduces the AAC format. The reason he made this format available was because the format alone at any bit rate is better than the popular mp3 format. Also, AAC is the audio standard for the MPEG-4 format, which is related to streaming media at it finest. This is when Jobs began to even make it possible for the film and entertainment industry to get support for movies and videos to get out to the consumers.

In 2003, Jobs cut out the middleman like Press Play and Rhapsody. Who were big in streaming music at that time, but Jobs didn’t approve of the approach these companies were taking. These companies were charging subscriptions and 99 cent for every song downloaded. Jobs took an approach by making iTunes application free, and no subscription needed to download music. Before all this took place, Steve Jobs visited the Big Five Companies in the music industry to get a broad set of rights. The events and struggle to devise a plan that would not only benefit the music industry, but also the Apple Corporation as well, was not a simple task that was at hand. Record labels and Steve Jobs took a big leap of faith in creating a strategy that would not only benefit themselves but people around the world to share, purchase, and collect different types of music.
