  Spotify has changed the way we listen to and share music in a dynamic, profound and irreversible way. Fans across the world can access songs, albums and entire back catalogs at the click of a button, and the artists behind the music get paid for every one of those streams. 
  Isn’t that incredible? Music labels are no longer a necessity. The power is in the creators’ hands more than ever before. 
  But it isn’t just a case of releasing a song onto Spotify and hoping for the best. With over 60,000 new songs being uploaded to Spotify each day, the main question for the contemporary musician is now this: 
  How do you get your music heard in such a crowded marketplace?  
  Enter Chris Greenwood, a.k.a. the award-winning Canadian rock artist Manafest. 
  With a million monthly Spotify listeners and 130 million streams, Chris knows how to harness the power of this incredible music sharing platform. He understands how to trigger the algorithm, how to pitch and get added to editorial playlists, and how to co-create with other artists to enhance your profile and your reach. He’s a virtuoso of marketing and promotion, and his Waterfall Release Strategy (shared in detail in the book) has been one of the keys to his own phenomenal success on Spotify. 
  But mostly, Chris knows how to reach people. And in this era, if you want to be both a financially lucrative andcreatively fulfilled musician, you need to build a fanbase and keep it growing. That’s how you get streams, and that’s how you make a profit on Spotify. 
  This book is the result of over a decade of careful research, thoughtful experimentation, and ultimately the mastering of Spotify. 
  Chris’ career has grown in tandem with rise of Spotify, and there is no better, more inspiring, or more direct guide for your journey into the new singles economy than this.

  Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), born in Tupelo, Mississippi, was an American singer and actor. Referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll," he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Presley's sexually provocative performance style, combined with a mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, brought both great success and initial controversy. The following audio clips are from an interview in 1960, and press conferences in 1970 and 1972.

  Underwater Ruins of Civilization

  The level of Earth’s Oceans have changed many times over the millennia. 
   Global sea level rose by a total of more than 120 meters (360 feet) as the vast ice sheets of the last Ice Age melted back. This melt-back lasted from about 19,000 to about 6,000 years ago, meaning that the average rate of sea-level rise was roughly 1 meter per century. 
   Since many early cities and civilizations were built near the coast, there must be many submerged ruins around the world we are not yet familiar with. The study of these ruins is one of the great unmapped needs for future archeology. 
   We do know about a few of these ruins and are learning much more. This book is a summary of what we know or think we know today about these lost civilizations, cities, and towns. 
   I’ve also included the stories of many legendary cities or locations like Atlantis and Lemuria.

The film follows Hill's rise and fall within the organized crime world, starting from his youth in Brooklyn to his involvement in major heists. It explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the brutal realities of mob life, depicting the allure and dangers of the criminal underworld.

  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Joe Pesci's Oscar acceptance speech is the sixth shortest in the Academy's history. It was simply, "It's my privilege, thank you." He later admitted that he didn’t expect to win, which is why he kept it short.” 
    
  “Ray Liotta once mentioned that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were like the "glitter" of the film, while he was more like the "glue" that held everything together.” 
    
  “The film was ranked number two on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest gangster films in June 2008.” 
    
  “Initially, producer Irwin Winkler disagreed with Martin Scorsese's choice of Ray Liotta for the role of Henry Hill. Liotta convinced him in a conversation at a restaurant.” 
    
  “Robert De Niro was offered the roles of both Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and Tommy DeVito, but he chose to play Jimmy.”
