Notary Platform

What is Notary Platform?


Notary Platform is a Blockchain based solution for engaging in contracts. Its purpose is having a simple platform, where general population can easily make different contracts with other people without the need of a third party such as a Lawyer or a Notary. Perfect example of the usefulness of Notary Platform would be buying a used vehicle. You would open up the mobile application and input details of the buyer and seller. Take some pictures of the vehicle and then sign the contract using your fingerprint. The contract with all its data is then sent through the Blockchain, giving it a unique timestamp and immutability.

Another great feature is the ability to record sound or video and include it in the contract. Because of this you can make all kinds of arrangements with your family and friends. Take a short video of the apartment you are renting and then seal the deal with a contract on Notary Platform. That way the person renting the apartment and the person living in it will rest assured that one will not make any changes without their knowledge.

The main benefit is that the data, stored in the Blockchain, can be used as a legal proof in the court of law. So you have legal backup whenever you are making a deal.

But not only is the platform usable on customer to customer level. It can also be used with business to customer and even business to business. Think about all the loans, contracts, warranties, transactions and certifications that can be simplified using Notary Platform.

Conclusion on the Notary Platform ICO

The Notary Platform looks very promising because of the solutions it offers for real world situations. I have not seen the same usage of the Blockchain so far, so i would like to point out, this is the first coin that is based on contracts between people or businesses.

Now it's time to decide whether to invest in the ICO or no. Taking only the information about ICO into consideration, we can conclude the following.

ICO price per one NTRY token multiplied by the amount of tokens available gives us $0.11 * 150 000 000 = $16 500 000. This is the Market Cap of the NTRY token. If we check out other ICO projects or other tokens on coinmarketcap we see, that the Market Cap for this token is small. That means the price will most likely increase after the ICO, when the token gets added to different exchanges.

But if we also take the whole project, with its unique functionality and real world usage, into consideration we should be even more convinced, that this will be one successful platform.

Out of the Woods Music Video

Taylor Swift debuted her "Out of the Woods" music video from her 1989 album December 31, 2015 on Ryan Secrest's Rockin' New Year's Eve celebration.

Here's the video with the words that appeared on the screen before and after the video:

SHE LOST HIM

  

BUT SHE FOUND HERSELF, AND SOMEHOW THAT WAS EVERYTHING

The video is amazing.  It shows Taylor in the same blue dress the whole time, but shows her facing different elements; water, fire, snow, earth, air.  The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn.  I think this was their best collaboration yet, probably because it's one of my favorite songs.  The music video also features elements from the song "Clean", the beginning and ending text for the video are from the liner notes for the song, "Clean".  And at her 1989 World Tour Concert the video background was Taylor in the water for most of the song, like some of the elements in "Out of the Woods" video.

In the beginning of the video Taylor is scared, the woods are starting to grow on the beach.  She is then in the woods with the vines still growing and the wolves are chasing after her.  It is getting thick and cold.  She falls down and the wolves grab her dress.  The next part she is on top of a cliff through the air, but this time she is walking with the wolves, not as scared of them anymore.  She is walking barefoot through the snow, which had to be cold.  She rips off her paper airplane necklace and with the wolves behind her she throws it over the ledge, she then falls off the edge into water and then is on a barren wasteland with a single tree.  She walks to it and it becomes an icy tree.  Her hand become icy, and then her whole body is icy and it breaks.  She is then running again through the mud, then crawls through the mud.  The trees grow around her, and now she is not muddy, but part of the tree.  There are fireflies all around.  In the end there are scenes from all of these trials she went through, the snow, dessert, mud, cliff, water, snow, fire and the tree in the end.  These trials are how she found herself.  Gradually through the video Taylor is becoming more and more confident with the wolves and herself and is not afraid anymore.  The woods disappear and all of the sudden Taylor is walking towards herself.

Perhaps the most poignant moment is when Taylor finds herself in the end.  She is on the beach and another version of herself walks up to her and touches her shoulder. She went through all these trials, but she is finally clean and out of the woods.

What does all this mean?  The wolves are the reporters, media and paparazzi.  At first she was scared of them, but after a while Taylor has become a master of using them to her advantage.  The elements all represent the same things, but by using all the elements she shows how hard that was. She was going through a really hard time in her life before she wrote 1989.  It was not just the relationship with Harry Styles, but relationships with others, the portrayal in the media, her own label not wanting to let her do pop music, an probably more things the public does not even know. The iciness represents how lifeless and out of control things were for her, but when the ice broke the control people had over her did too. She had to drag herself through the mud and embrace it to become a beautiful tree. She embraced the cliff and jumped off of it, symbolizing taking chances and risks.  She did not drown when she came out, but was in a dessert. It is interesting to note the fire was only present in the end sequence signifying a cleaning a release of all the things that had held her back.

In the end, Taylor found herself, and she did what she wanted for the first time in a long time.  She produced the record she wanted to, she figured out how to handle her fame, she was really happy with who she was and she was finally clean. I'm glad she found herself and is so happy, she definitely deserves it!
