How much royalties do artists get?.....
Spotify estimates that the average song generates between $0.006 and $0.0084 per stream in royalties. This may seem like a pittance, but Spotify's data shows that the numbers add up, at least for big artists.
Do radio play artists get paid?.....
Radio airplay is considered a public performance. Public performances generate performance royalties for songwriters, which are collected by the PROs (ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC). In the US, terrestrial broadcasters (AM or FM stations) do not pay performers or sound recording copyright owners; they only pay the songwriters.
Do artists get paid every time their song is played on Spotify?.....
Here's the maths: Spotify pays about $0.006 to $0.0084 per stream to the holder of music rights. And the "holder" can be split among the record label, producers, artists, and songwriters. In short, streaming is a volume game.
How are music royalties calculated?.....
They are calculated and divided as follows: Mechanical Royalties: Record companies pay the publisher mechanicals based on the amount of phonorecords sold. ... This negotiated or "reduced" mechanical royalty rate is generally a percentage of the minimum compulsory license rate, up to a maximum number of songs.
How do you make money from music?.....
Start by trying a few of these ways to earn money from your musical talents. Be an Open Mic Host..... Busking and selling cd's on the street..... Start a YouTube Channel. ... Be a DJ. ... Play at Bars. ... Do Event Gigs. ...Nursing Home gigs....

Geek Life Culture Netflix Original Programming Has America Binge-Watching
Netflix Original Programming Has America Binge-Watching
Tom Herles
It seems the phrase of the year so far in entertainment circles is "binge-watching." It has gained some traction since Netflix released the whole first season of their original drama series "House of Cards" all at once. The show starring Kevin Spacey is a big hit, but the real question is how did everyone watch the show? Did you watch an episode per week like a standard cable show or in one sweatpants wearing buffet-line of television? Most people who watched probably sit somewhere in the middle of those two scenarios, but the term binge-watching entered the vernacular nonetheless.
Binge-Watching Isn't New For Us
To the casual TV fan, this may be a new development. It's definitely not for geeks. Whether it's watching the 14 episodes of Joss Whedon's space-western "Firefly" or wading through the decades of "Dr. Who," this is standard practice for the sci-fi and fantasy inclined. It seems though that it will be more common with new shows as we move on.
Netflix isn't new, but the on-demand video service is new in presenting exclusive content and original programming. "House of Cards" was the first high profile release, but expect the company's status to change when "Arrested Development" hits the service at the end of the month. The Jason Bateman led comedy has been off the air since 2006, but because of a large cult following, a new season was filmed for Netflix. The cast has become collectively more famous since its cancellation with Bateman, Michael Cera and Will Arnett now big comedy players. Is there any way that fans who have waited seven years for new episodes will be patient when burning through the new season? No way. They shall be binging. When the viewing numbers come in for "Arrested Development" I believe Studios will begin to view Netflix as a real alternative to cable networks.
Across the web, Netflix has a competitor in the form of Amazon Studios. Sure enough this is the Amazon of amazon.com fame. They have a whole run of shows set to take a piece of the pie. Most notably there is a television version of the 2009 hit film "Zombieland." The series has no Emma Stone or Woody Harrelson. In fact, none of the lead actors are back and the characters have been recast. But this is Amazon's catalyst just like "House of Cards was for the company formerly known for their red envelopes.
With these new developments, I wonder how traditional networks will respond. Could we see a future where a season of a show plays out with a new episode every night for two weeks? I don't know how advertisers would feel about that. Imagine 10 straight nights of "Game of Thrones?" The wait between seasons already feels like an eternity. That would make it even crazier.
But it would also signify the end of the "water cooler moment." They're more like Facebook status update moments in 2013. If "The Walking Dead" was released all at once, everyone would be dealing with different huge moments all at once. Who dies? What happened? There would be no controlling the spoilers. I don't know if I want to be a fan in a world like this. Look what you've done Netflix. You've turned television into a physics exam. If we don't stay up all night watching, we may fail the next day. I'm just going to watch "Smallville" on DVD. It's from a simpler time.

January 1: No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Letter: B

Track Number: 4
Song: "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" by Beastie Boys off the album Solid Gold Hits
Hear it here
It had been this way since Eric moved in. No matter how he fiddled with the thermostat, his apartment always sat at a heavy 85 degrees during the winter. He complained to the super, Mr. Rob, a short, slight man with an accent of unknown origin, several times that first year. Finally, in mid- January, Mr. Rob came by, flopped on the couch and explained, in one long sigh, "If I make it cooler up here, the first floor will freeze. And they have children. So, you know, bad business. Anyway, the heat's not broken, but I can't help you."
"What am I supposed to do then?" Eric asked, his voice tinged with the kind of unearned indignation that comes from a life of relative ease.
Mr. Rob shrugged, "Open the windows. Buy more shorts. You are a smart boy, you'll figure something out."
In reality, it all suited Eric just fine. He had grown up in Gilbert, Arizona so the heat was actually a welcome connection to home. He had only really complained because he was worried that if he did not, the super might try to screw him in any other of numerous ways. After all, that's what everyone back home had warned him about renting apartments in this part of the country.
Plus, it gave him something to moan about at work. That had endeared him to his co-workers who found Eric's excitement about moving to the city and working with them all a bit suspect. Ineffective handwringing about what were largely minor inconveniences seemed to be a favorite office pastime and Eric had no interest in being left out.
But at home, by himself, he could admit that he really quite enjoyed being able to wander around his hot apartment, rendered almost arid but a wildly productive dehumidifier, in little more than a pair of boxer briefs. The only time it stopped being fun was when he caught a glimpse of himself in one of the four mirrors that we sprinkled throughout the loft. His skin in the heat took a kind of pinkish hue that he found distasteful. Add to that a new exercise regime that, while others assured him made him quite sexy, he felt rendered him a bit freakish looking and Eric was left looking at a body that he found unfamiliar and vaguely nauseating. Determined to not rain on his own parade, he resorted to throwing towels over each mirror, moving them only to inspect himself before work, church, and nights on the town. The result was that apartment looked like the most colorful shiva sitting ever with blue and green terrycloth dominating the landscape.
Today, however, Eric was layering up in long underwear, sweats, and a parka that was made by a company with the unlikely name of Tundra X_TREME! He might have loved the heat of his sixth floor dwelling, but there was something he gained an appreciation for in his move northeast. Simply put, he was silly in love with snow.
He clomped awkwardly down the front steps, still not entirely used to walking around in cumbersome snow boots, before launching himself into the most immediate snowdrift. He lay there a moment, letting tiny flakes drift into his eyes. Then, he spun himself back to his feet and stumbled/charged across the landscape.
He read enough to know that people who loved snow tended to praise it for the silence it promoted; "soft and silent" this, "quiet blanket" that. And quite honestly, he thought them idiots for it. Snow was not quiet and, if it was, it would hardly be a reason to recommend it. For Eric, snow was loud, a swiftly melt amplifier that picked up on his every step, slide, and whoop. He had grown up in a fairly large suburb with several siblings and moved to an even bigger city that seemed to rumble every moment of every day. Eric had never felt loud once in his life. But then it snowed, and the city scurried inside to watch from their windows. And Eric could hear himself. And yes, occasionally a cluster of kids or the horn of a paralyzed motorist or a distant siren bleat. But mostly just himself. And more of himself than ever. Yes, there were deserts back home and he supposed that he would have heard himself there, but…well, they were deserts. Eric was sure someone could find beauty in them and that was grand for them. He, however, was not one of those people. He preferred the snow.
It was not just that it promoted his noise either. He liked that it was never the same. Desert sand, generally speaking, is largely unchanged one day to the next. Snow, though…snow varied with each storm. Sometimes, it could be as inconsequential as the instant potato flakes Eric had lived off of in college. At others, it was like a wet tarp, thick and heavy, damn near water and yet, not.
The best thing about it though? It went away. Snow was like that ridiculous sitcom character that would stay around just long enough to pass from fun to awful. Then, there would be a heatwave, as much as one can call a few days of 50 degrees a heatwave, or the seasons would change and there the snow would go. By the time it rolled around again, you would be thrilled to see it, giggling and clapping right along with that live studio audience.
Anyways, that's how Eric saw it on a snowy February day at 12:18 in the morning. Soon he'd be back in his scorching apartment, stretching out in front of an ancient humming box fan to get to sleep and all these attempts at profundity would be gone, not to come around until the next batch of fresh snow. Soon. For now though, there was stomping and tossing and rolling to be done. Oh, and noise. Mustn't forget the noise.


Challenges of Public Policymaking in Saudi Arabia
Hadi Fathallah
Sada - Analysis
Summary: The implementation of Vision 2030 is bypassing state institutions, creating a public policy crisis and further weakening government institutions.
On March 17, Saudi Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture Abdulrahman al-Fadhli launched Qatrah ("Droplet"), a new national water conservation program to rationalize water consumption in Saudi Arabia, one of the driest countries in the world and third largest water consumer per capita. The following week, the Vision 2030 Strategic Management Office announced the launch of several grand new projects in the capital to build green spaces, including the King Salman Park and Green Riyadh, which together seek to turn the heart of Riyadh into the largest city park in the world. Green Riyadh alone, a $23 billion endeavor, would include a 14-hectare (35-acre) water park and 3.5-kilometer (2.2-mile) canal. The planned park would consume at least a quarter of a million cubic meters of water per day, depleting any water saved under Qatrah in the Riyadh region.1 Such conflicting projects and programs appear across most government sectors, illustrating the ill-thought nature of policymaking in the kingdom and the urgent need to enhance the process.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 was conceived with the aim of making governance effective and efficient, with a diversified, thriving economy open to long-term investment. However, while the vision is ambitious, questions surround its implementation. The first basic challenge common to such domestic development projects is that the Saudi government is tackling them based on management thinking, not public policy principles. In a business context, leadership first formulates strategy (a high-level plan), and then lays out the plans and policies (rules) for implementation. In a government context, "public policies" are the higher-level principles that guide governance and public management, and strategies are then developed to implement them.
Saudi government leadership has mixed up strategy (the domain of management consultants) for public policy (the domain of government civil servants). In government, strategies are plans of action with preset outputs, outcomes, and indicators. Saudi Vision 2030 is full of these: government restructuring, privatization, national transformation, and the like. Policies, by contrast, are principles of action, a guide to making decisions and achieving outcomes. For example, Saudi oil policy is to keep the global oil markets balanced. This guiding policy dictates how Saudi Arabia should control exports, set prices, and invest in oil projects. Based on this policy, Saudi Arabia formulates and implements strategies such as consolidating upstream and downstream activities through ARAMCO or increasing access to markets in Asia. With the possible exception of the country's oil policy, most of what is perceived as Saudi government policy actually consists of strategy documents that lack a grounding in sound policy principles. Foreign—largely Western—consultancies write these documents, which the Saudi government then delegates to ministerial bureaucracies for top-down implementation.
The reasons for the lack of clear and coherent public policy plans to put the strategies into action include complex web of bureaucratic challenges, from the hyper-centralized nature of decisionmaking to central and local governments' overlapping jurisdictions. Lower-level functionaries often have to scramble to achieve goals and outcomes and report on them to project management offices in their relevant ministries, which have to report on strategy implementation to the Vision 2030 team embedded within the Diwan, the unified office of the king and crown prince.
Saudi leadership puts too much pressure on these functionaries to complete projects within short time constraints. Their urgency is spurred by various external economic factors such as fluctuations in the price of oil, as well as political transitions or reorganization within the monarchy. Policy formulation, a naturally lengthy and cumbersome process—from conducting thorough policy analysis, running consultations, developing sound policy instruments, and building frameworks for coordination—has therefore become merely a brainstorming exercise used to present or formulate strategic documents.
The policymaking process has become similar to micromanaging a business—the Vision Strategic Management Office has even formed a "delivery unit" to intervene as needed to ensure implementation when bureaucracies and ministries do not. Rather than being handed policies (clear guidelines on decisionmaking), government functionaries, whether at the central or local level, have to achieve specific outcomes of which they have little knowledge and, more importantly, no say in formulating. For example, in the case of King Salman Park and Green Riyadh, rather than the city's development authority and municipal government designing and enacting a clear national urban development policy, the delivery unit bypassed these two bureaucracies and established separate, almost independent bodies to oversee the projects under the umbrella of Vision 2030.
Moreover, while consultants and advisors formulate strategy, the government is also contracting them for implementation, under the premise that they know the strategies better than anyone else does. This bypasses Saudi civil servants, technocrats, and elected or appointed government officials—not only limiting their professional development but also undermining the broader capacity building of national public policy expertise. If not addressed quickly, this will hinder the Saudi government from achieving the goals and milestones envisioned in Vision 2030.
Even the process by which the vision was originally conceived sidelined the public policymaking process. Because strategic consultants crammed in four kinds of policy objectives—distributive, constituent, regulatory, and redistributive—the policy agenda was overburdened and uncoordinated. For example, the Saudi privatization program attempted, largely unsuccessfully, to privatize public entities at a time when valuations were collapsing due to an ongoing economic crisis. None of the existing airports slated to be privatized in 2017 under the Public Private Partnerships (PPP) model have begun the shift. The PPP projects remain frozen, primarily because there is no policy process, only a delivery plan.
Because consultants have been overseeing both strategy formulation and implementation, and because of their high turnover due to short project deadlines, ministries lack institutional memory and are further sidelined from engaging in public policy. There are also too few academically qualified, high-quality bureaucrats who can coordinate longer-term policies, and too many high-level advisors who lead government projects but leave the ministry whenever the minister changes. For example, when the king fired Minister of Economy and Planning Adel Fakieh in November 2017, most of the ministry's advisors left as well, such as former McKinsey partner Hani Khoja. The new team under Minister Mohammed Al-Tuwaijri had to hire more staff and, in some cases, start projects anew.
Enhancing public policymaking in Saudi Arabia requires empowering government entities and other stakeholders in the process, especially the professional civil service. This would entail developing their capacity for policy analysis and formulation, hiring qualified and well-remunerated civil servants, and ensuring their participation and empowerment in the entire public policymaking process—from setting the agenda and formulating policies to making decisions regarding those policies, implementing them, and evaluating the results. This would enhance the natural role of Ministry of Economy and Planning in domestic policymaking.
Saudi Arabia would also benefit from institutionalizing and democratizing public policy lobbying: opening up the policy process for various interest groups to participate in influencing government. Currently, public policy lobbying is limited to management strategy consulting firms and certain powerful individuals, usually members of royal family members or their business proxies, making lobbying in Saudi Arabia highly opaque and exclusionary. The lobbying industry in the United States could serve as an example. The Saudi government has already mastered operating in the U.S. lobbying industry but has not applied the same model of opening up the process of policy analysis, consultation, and coordination within the kingdom.
Institutionalizing public policy lobbying in Saudi Arabia would not only save the government money (by spending less on consultations with strategy firms), it would also generate new jobs, circulate consulting money within the Saudi economy, refine policy options, and improve policy implementation. Democratization of lobbying would further give the public—and other stakeholders such as NGOs, academic institutions, and the private sector—a greater say in the policy process. This would alleviate public perceptions that they are excluded from public policy, thereby lessening political pressure against the government.

Climate myths by Lindzen What the Science Says Usage
"Climate sensitivity is low" Net positive feedback is confirmed by many different lines of evidence. 9
"Earth hasn't warmed as much as expected" This argument ignores the cooling effect of aerosols and the planet's thermal inertia. 5
"Global warming stopped in 1998, 1995, 2002, 2007, 2010, ????"
Global temperature is still rising and 2010 was the hottest recorded.
"Climate's changed before" Climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time; humans are now the dominant forcing. 3
"IPCC is alarmist"
Numerous papers have documented how IPCC predictions are more likely to underestimate the climate response.
"CO2 limits will harm the economy"
The benefits of a price on carbon outweigh the costs several times over.
"It's a natural cycle"
No known natural forcing fits the fingerprints of observed warming except anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
"Models are unreliable"
Models successfully reproduce temperatures since 1900 globally, by land, in the air and the ocean.
"IPCC overestimate temperature rise"
Monckton used the IPCC equation in an inappropriate manner.
"It's a climate regime shift"
There is no evidence that climate has chaotic "regimes" on a long-term basis.
"There's no tropospheric hot spot"
We see a clear "short-term hot spot" - there's various evidence for a "long-term hot spot".
"Lindzen and Choi find low climate sensitivity" Lindzen and Choi's paper is viewed as unacceptably flawed by other climate scientists. 1
"Phil Jones says no global warming since 1995" Phil Jones was misquoted. 1
"It's only a few degrees" A few degrees of global warming has a huge impact on ice sheets, sea levels and other aspects of climate. 1
"Infrared Iris will reduce global warming"
The iris hypothesis has not withstood the test of time - subsequent research has found that if it exists, the effect is much smaller than originally hypothesized, and may even slightly amplify rather than reducing global warming.
"Human CO2 is a tiny % of CO2 emissions" The natural cycle adds and removes CO2 to keep a balance; humans add extra CO2 without removing any. 1
"Al Gore got it wrong"
Al Gore's book is quite accurate, and far more accurate than contrarian books.
"It's a 1500 year cycle"
Ancient natural cycles are irrelevant for attributing recent global warming to humans.
"Increasing CO2 has little to no effect" The strong CO2 effect has been observed by many different measurements. 1
"CO2 limits will hurt the poor"
Those who contribute the least greenhouse gases will be most impacted by climate change.
"CO2 is plant food"
The effects of enhanced CO2 on terrestrial plants are variable and complex and dependent on numerous factors
"CO2 was higher in the past"
When CO2 was higher in the past, the sun was cooler.
"Breathing contributes to CO2 buildup" By breathing out, we are simply returning to the air the same CO2 that was there to begin with. 1
"Ice age predicted in the 70s"
The vast majority of climate papers in the 1970s predicted warming.
"It cooled mid-century" Mid-century cooling involved aerosols and is irrelevant for recent global warming. 1
"It warmed before 1940 when CO2 was low" Early 20th century warming is due to several causes, including rising CO2. 1
"There is no consensus"
97% of climate experts agree humans are causing global warming.
"Water vapor is the most powerful greenhouse gas"
Rising CO2 increases atmospheric water vapor, which makes global warming much worse.
"Hansen's 1988 prediction was wrong"
Jim Hansen had several possible scenarios; his mid-level scenario B was right.
"It's not urgent"
A large amount of warming is delayed, and if we don't act now we could pass tipping points.
"Clouds provide negative feedback" Evidence is building that net cloud feedback is likely positive and unlikely to be strongly negative. 1
"Removing all CO2 would make little difference"
Removing CO2 would cause most water in the air to rain out and cancel most of the greenhouse effect.

Julia scanned the building on Yorkton's periphery and grimaced. She watched as the Republican Marine platoon landed via transports in a circle around the isolated structure, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
She had no access to an AI, just like most of the rest of the population on Juventas. StarCen's presence was gone, thanks to surgical strikes by the Diego Fleet and follow up efforts by their Marines.
Supposedly, cores for PLAIR had been installed on the planet but she either remained offline or unavailable for civilian use at this time. Maybe both.
Julia had been able to meet with Elephant one more time. He informed her of reports concerning rogue SSI agents, ones the Marines had not captured yet. The most troubling part of his report: the Wicked Witch lived. She was still out there somewhere.
The trick was trying to find someone without an AI to tell you where she was or where she might be. Fortunately, Elephant knew something about where the Marines might be headed. They were systematically performing mop up operations, and that meant every SSI facility would be targeted. The ELO Tribunal happened to know where a number of those sites were.
Together, Elephant and Angel looked at what they knew had been taken out by the Marines so far. What remained were secondary minor targets. At least, they were minor as far as anyone knew. And what they knew, Elephant assured her, the Marines would know. So, that left five or six remaining locations in and around Yorkton.
"Now, let's think like an SSI agent on the run," Elephant had said. "What would you do, if you knew the Marines were checking out all your facilities?"
"I'd pick a good one to set up an ambush and take out as many Marines as I could."
The old man nodded and smiled at her. He said, "See? We don't need an AI. We can go through the same processes as she could."
"Yeah," Julia said. "But it takes longer."
After looking over the targets remaining that they knew of, they decided this building would be ideal to set up an ambush. It was known officially as SSI Juventas Facility 26, and was supposedly abandoned. At one point it had reportedly hosted a variety of medical experiments on humans, led by a company called Gemini Exponentials. Somehow word had leaked out about that, and SSI ended up taking a lot of heat for it.
Evidently, some of the news outlets on Epsilon were more independent-minded than the government cared for, and a big exposé ran in one of the papers.
Julia knew that SSI had not stopped their human experiments. They simply moved them to isolated outposts, like Raton Five. Conditions on that planet were barely tolerable for human life, and work there could remain undisturbed from outside inquiries. That led to the Gemini Project, shrouded in mystery and leaving only a handful of survivors. Meanwhile facilities like this one, under scrutiny by the local populations, were abandoned.
Julia stood in an open field about 100 meters from the entrance to the building, her camouflage unit activated. The Marines did not notice her.
She watched as a young officer directed an assault unit led by a large female sergeant with very short hair.
The sergeant nodded and began barking out orders to the dozen people with her. They approached the building's doorway, guns ready. A Marine with an XO hologram on her chest ran for the door and placed sticky bombs on it.
Now is the time, Julia thought.
She began running for the door, where all the Marines focused their attention.
When the sticky bombs exploded, she ran past the outer ring of personnel. They did not hear her footsteps as she zipped around them.
By the time debris settled from the blown door, she entered it ahead of the team going in.
Wilcox moved toward the blown door with Jamieson, Boggs, and three others. She knew the basic layout of the building, having studied the floor plans beforehand. In her mind's eye, she could see the navigational map showing their location and an image of the ground floor.
Intelligence indicated this building was supposed to be empty. Since it was an SSI property they had to check it out, though. Their orders were to either take anything of value or render inoperable equipment too big to move. The enemy's resources were to be neutralized.
Wilcox felt fairly comfortable with the assignment. These were secondary and tertiary targets, after all. Other than the one bogey who got away from the SSI safe house, they had not had a lot of excitement lately.
She was happy to have something to do. She knew many Marines around the globe were simply guarding locations, staring down civilians upset about the change in government or rebuilding facilities destroyed by the Navy in the initial attack.
This was the point where Marines became "boots on the ground" so vital to holding new territory. Wilcox normally enjoyed this part almost as little as she enjoyed sitting on a troop transport for weeks on end. At least checking out these final targets of interest gave her platoon something to do besides guard duty, so she enthusiastically directed her group toward the building.
They fanned out in front of the door, facing a giant open area, dimly lit.
"Boggs, toss the puppy in."
"Sure thing, Sarge."
Boggs unstrapped a drone the size of a shoebox from his back and threw it into the doorway. It landed on the floor inside, and sprouted four spider legs. It instantly lit up in a ball of light and began scanning the area.
Boggs and Wilcox followed a camera feed transmitted back to their minds via the neural net.
Boggs said, "No life forms. Wait. What was that?"
"I saw it, too," Wilcox said. "It's gone now."
"Was it a glitch?"
"I'm not sure. Just keep an eye out. Send the puppy in deeper."
The little drone scurried forward, its feet making metallic clicks on the floor.
"I'm fairly certain there's no human life, Sarge. I'm not seeing any bio readings, except for that one flash in the pan back there."
"What about explosives? After that house in the suburbs went up, I'm a little gun shy."
Boggs did not respond right away, distracted by the readings sent back from the drone.
Finally he said, "I'm getting some weird feedback from the far end of the room, Sarge. It doesn't look explosive, but there's energy of some kind being held in containers. It's just odd."
"Let me look at it."
Wilcox shifted her mind's eye to the drone's readout.
She said, "What is this? Some kind of storage facility? It looks like giant batteries of some kind, storing power."
"Hold up, Sarge. I'm seeing movement."
She watched with Boggs as something shifted near the far corner of the wall.
Boggs said, "Security bot. Newer model, hard to kill."
"Okay," Wilcox said. "That's what we've got to deal with, people. Get the drone out, Boggs, and let's go inside to engage."
Before Boggs could send the command to make the drone retreat, the bot raised its firearm and fired.
Thoop!
The feed went blank.

Pistoria Province
PISTOIA PROVINCE | TUSCANY
The province of Pistoia is a province in the Tuscany region of central Italy. Its capital is the city of Pistoia and the province is landlocked. It has an area of and a total population of 292,509 inhabitants (as of 2015), giving the province of Pistoia a population density of 303.39 people per square kilometer. There are 22 communes in the province.
It was part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and was established as a province in 1927 with the municipalities Agliana, Cutigliano, Lamporecchio Larciano Marliana, Montale, Pistoia, Piteglio, San Marcello Pistola, Pistola Serravalle and Tizzana (Quarrata today) previously belonging to the province of Florence, and in 1928 acquired the communes of Valdinievole from the province of Lucca.
The province was formed in 1927 under the rule of Mussolini, and had the lowest income per capita in Tuscany in 1966 due to high poverty levels. This is because the province was mainly agricultural before World War II ended, and has since had to rapidly progress towards industrial capitalism and abandon its agricultural roots. The population of the province has recently been increasing; the population in 2001 was 268,437, in 2010 it was 293,061, and in 2014 it was 292,509.
The Mountains of Pistoia and the resorts Abetone and Val di Luce are popular tourist destinations for skiers, and the province contains a combination of flat land such as the area of the valley of the Ombrone and the river flowing through it, and mountainous land. The city of Pistola is roughly 20 km away from both Lucca and Florence. The land around the cities of Pistoia and Pescia are popular locations for flower and plant cultivation for global exports, and town of Quarrata is known for its wood furniture.

Transsexual (TS)
Reviewed by Dr. Laura McGuire
Transsexual is a term that used to be used describe a person whose gender identity does not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender or trans is generally the more favored term. Whatever words a person tells you to use for them are the words you should use.
Rooted in clinical and medical terminology and diagnosis, transsexual differs from the umbrella term transgender and the two are not interchangeable. Transexual is mainly considered to be an archaic term, but there are some people who find it comfortable and prefer to use it.
Transgender encompasses many different experiences of people whose gender identity does not match their birth sex. A person who identifies as transsexual, however, was generally regarded to be a person who has, or hopes to alter their body through some degree of medical intervention to align their physical form with with their gender. Transsexual can be used as either a noun or an adjective, however, more commonly as an adjective, such as "transsexual man" or "transsexual woman." Transsexual is commonly abbreviated as "TS."
Because of its early connections to medical diagnoses of mental health concerns (and a fraught historical relationship between trans folks and the medical establishment), transsexual, as a catch-all term, has fallen out of favour in common usage. some transgender people consider the term transsexual to be offensive and choose not to use it.
Others reject it because it has a heavy alignment to surgical intervention, which is not a requirement in transgender identity. The idea that medical transition is a "real transition" is rooted in colonialism and the pathologizing of queer gender expression.
Another concern that has been raised is the inclusion of "sexual" as part of the word. Trans identity does not connect to sexual identity. Trans people's sexual identities are varied and dependent on the person.
Those who do identify as transsexual and who do seek body modification as part of their transition, can explore many different options. These include hormone replacement therapy, top surgery, genital reconstruction surgery, plastic surgery, hair removal and more. Transsexual people can also explore gender expression through non-surgical methods, such as wearing the clothes of their identified gender, mannerism adjustment and name changes. Some transsexual people choose not to make changes, but are still transsexual.

Kathie Lee Gifford Creates Inspiring New Family Musical Experience, The Little Giant, Available Sept. 29
September 20, 2017 Rhonda Frye News 0
Nashville, Tenn. (Sept. 14, 2017) – Three-time EMMY® winner Kathie Lee Gifford will unveil The Little Giant, a new recording that tells the David & Goliath story in a contemporary yet timeless way, on Sept. 29. Regis Philbin (as Jesse) and Broadway notables Aidan Gemme (as David) and Gregg Edelman (as King Saul/Goliath) among others joined voices with the celebrated television and Broadway personality who assumed the role of Sheeba, an ewe with tons of personality. The 30 minute album is filled with 13 new tunes produced by multi-platinum selling David Pomeranz and co-written by Gifford, inspired by the timeless story.
The project stems from a life-changing trip Gifford took to Israel with her husband, legendary football player and sports commentator, Frank Gifford, before he passed in 2015. "There in the valley where David defeated Goliath, Frank and I had a life-transforming experience. We all had been taught that the miracle was that a young boy took down a giant. But in reality, in those days, any shepherd was experienced in killing big animals that threatened the flock. Just as the Lord had prepared David for that one moment, we realized that God has already given each of us a stone to use. That's the real miracle. The question then becomes 'What is our stone and how will we use it?'" shares Gifford. "The Little Giant is dedicated to my late husband, Frank. It's no coincidence that he had a special place in his heart for giants since he played for the New York Giants for 12 years. But more than that, when Frank and I left Israel, we each took a small stone with us and committed to use them however the Lord would lead. This project is the fulfillment of that promise."
The Little Giant will release on Sept. 29 through New Haven Kids, a division of New Haven Records, which is distributed to the faith-based retail trade through Provident Music Distribution and to mainstream market through SONY Music Distribution.
To pre-order The Little Giant, visit Amazon or iTunes.

The Church in My Town
January 04, 2018 • Japanese
Elichi and Kazuto* share more than friendship. They are on a journey together to learn about Jesus.
The boys live in Kumamoto, Japan, the city that was nearly destroyed in the April 2016 earthquake. Nearly every citizen was affected in some way.
During this time Elichi and Kazuto discovered a new radio program called Words of Hope, produced by the Japanese outreach of ReFrame Ministries.
"We first launched the Words of Hope program following the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan," explained BTGMI ministry leader Rev. Masao Yamashita. "Our goal was to address the spiritual needs of hurting people in this area."
Because the program connected many people to faith and commitments to Christ, after the Kumamoto earthquake BTGMI began to broadcast Words of Hope in that area.
Elichi and Kazuto listened faithfully to the program, and started attending the Kumamoto Reformed Church, a BTGMI partner church.
The boys wanted to learn more about the Bible so they signed up for the annual BTGMI summer Bible camp, where they met with other Christians and seekers for Bible study, worship, and fellowship.
"The summer camp and partnerships with local churches are crucial for discipling those who respond to our programs," Yamashita noted.
In fact, local churches and BTGMI are partnering on a new initiative to produce a series of videos called "The Church in My Town" to help connect listeners and seekers to the local church.
The videos, distributed largely through social media, help remove barriers for those hesitant to attend church. The welcoming content help viewers see how the local church offers community as it serves the neighborhood.
Whether radio or video invite people like Elichi and Kazuto into relationship with Christ and His church, pray that these media outreach efforts continue to welcome people into His kingdom.

After Infinity Comes Inhumanity
How will the events of Infinity impact Marvel's resident space hippies?
By Jesse Schedeen
Posted: 20 Sep 2013 10:26 pm
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Infinity up through issue #3.
We've known for a while now that Marvel is following up the current Infinity event with a new over-arching storyline called Inhumanity. Hinging on a new ongoing series called Inhuman from writer Matt Fraction and artist Joe Madureira, Inhumanity explores the fallout of Infinity and the sudden appearance of millions of new Inhumans across the globe. In the last couple weeks we've learned more about what Inhumanity entails. Inhumanity will kick off as part of All-New Marvel NOW! in January with a one-shot special from Fraction and artist Olivier Coipel. The story spirals out from there into Inhuman and various tie-in books like Uncanny X-Men and Indestructible Hulk. Much like Age of Ultron and its .AU issues, these tie-in issues will carry a ".INH" tag as part of their numbering.
We've also seen increased build-up to Inhumanity within the pages of Infinity. Recent installments have revealed that hidden sects of Inhumans already exist in various spots across the world, and also that Thanos' son is hidden among them. And Infinity #3 concluded with Black Bolt destroying the floating city of Attilan (and possibly himself) in an attempt to stop Thanos' rampage.
With the future of the Inhumans becoming more clear, Marvel held one of the "Next Big Thing" press calls today to shed more light on Inhumanity. Fraction, Senior Editor Nick Lowe and Editor-n-Chief Axel Alonso were in attendance to talk about the future of these characters, how Inhumanity impacts the Marvel Universe as a whole, and what separates being an Inhuman from being a mutant.
Fraction started off the call by talking about how Infinity #3's cliffhanger sets the tone for Inhumanity. "The fall of Attilan is one of those moments where the status quo for a big chunk of the Marvel Universes changes, and one of those moments where you can plant a flag and sit back and realize all the stuff that comes after," he said. "Inhumanity #1 spills out of Infinity and deals with the immediate ramifications of what the fall of Attilan means - what it means for the royal family, and more importantly... what it means to Inhumans all around the world." The one-shot will be framed from Karnak's perspective, who Fraction described as a "martial arts genius" whose ability to see flaws and work through puzzles is essential to providing a vantage point for the wider conflict.
Fraction them referenced Alonso referring to the Inhumans as "space hippies." "if that's the case, then San Francisco has been destroyed. They don't get to hide out in their secret superhero city anymore. It kind of comes raining down on New York City. This kind of hidden race doesn't get to hide anymore. We find out there are a lot more Inhumans than ever imagined. And that's where things start to get interesting." He continued, "It's not a book about just the royal family... It has to be like what [Brian] Bendis and [Mark] Millar were feeling when they were cooking up the Ultimate Universe back in the day. There's this freedom to do all kinds of crazy stuff and all sorts of different stories and all kinds of characters, whether it's old, established, recognizable guys or completely new takes on power sets or entirely new characters and situations altogether."
Inhumanity #1 cover
Alonso then said, "Matt's going to be writing a very textured story. In the foreground of that story is going to be the ground's eye view of new characters you're going to be introduced to from scratch, who will be your eyes into this world; who will show you not only what it's like to discover you're an Inhuman, but linked to something long." Fraction compared it to "finding out your grandfather used to be a pirate. A higher, amazing legacy you're connected to that you discover very suddenly. It's sort of like, as the Marvel Universe is discovering the Inhumans, hopefully at the same time the readers are, as well."
For many readers, one of the big questions surrounding Infinity has been what separates the concept of being Inhuman from being a mutant. After all, aren't both groups comprised of superhuman individuals hiding in plain sight who face fear and persecution from the rest of society? While everyone was reluctant to say too much for fear of spoiling Infinity #4, Fraction said, "The history is wildly different, and the circumstances are wildly different, and I think the metaphor is wildly different."
Alonso said, "There's a lot we can't say right now. I'll point out a few objective things that set apart Inhumans from everyone else. One of them is that they predate the birth of the superhuman and the mutant. They go back millennia and they have a long and complicated, very bloody history that we're going to fill over time." Fraction elaborated, "We literally see prehistoric man in the pages of Inhumanity. It's a big, long story.
Inhumanity #1 cover (Skottie Young variant)
Alonso continued, "It's the type of **** that Shakespeare would have a hard time coming up with. Another thing, too, if you take a look at their birth, they were really never meant to be. They were the result of a botched experiment... There's a big, existential 'Eff You!' at the core of their existence. It's something that bothered them. Gods played with science and came up with this. I could keep going, but there's a lot more. This race is essentially nomadic. They've been nomadic for eons, only in this case, this is a society that managed to travel with its kingdom. They've popped up in various places across the galaxy, searching for a safe haven they've never gotten. If you take away that, what do you have? Are they sick of running? These are the types of questions we're going to answer... Suffice it to say, they're very different from anything else in the Marvel Universe, and we're going to spend a lot of time reminding you of that."
Marvel NOW! brought about a number of visual changes to Marvel's books, from costume designs to basic elements like the design of cover dresses and recap pages. We asked how the look of the Inhumans and their world might change now that Coipel and Madureira are at the helm. Fraction said, "I've been all for letting two of the best designers working at Marvel Comics go wild and freshen things up a bit. We want these guys to be recognizable, but at the same time, if Olivier and Joe want to be Olivier and Joe and add a coat of modern polish to some of this stuff, I'm not going to object too terribly much. I love Joe's character design work especially, and would love to see him take a crack at 'What do wartime Inhumans look like with Joe Mad?' What do Inhumans on the run look like when Joe Mad designs them?"
Fraction briefly touched on the comparisons between Inhumanity and Game of Thrones, saying that while they were convenient because Game of Thrones is "so of the now," he doesn't necessarily put much stock in the connection. He noted that Dune and the Metabarons comic book series were far more influential in developing his take on the franchise. Fraction also confirmed that the material focused on Medusa, her son Ahura, and her brother-in-law Maximus the Mad in his FF run will play directly into Inhumanity. He wouldn't, however, confirm whether Maximus actually survives the destruction of Attilan in Infinity #3.
Inhumanity #1 cover (Nick Bradshaw variant)
Lowe discussed the tie-ins and how they play into the larger picture of Inhumanity. "All the tie-ins I've been really pleased with... and it's been really interesting to see how the different points of view attack this concept. It's a huge story, and it's been really fun to see how naturally people go at different angles." Fraction and Lowe singled out Mark Waid's Indestructible Hulk tie-in as one worth watching, citing Waid's early involvement in the development of Inhumanity.
Fraction elaborated, "It's a collaborative universe, and all of us are working on these stories that kind of move this one cohesive thing at once. Part of the fun has been to leave as much red meat out as possible and not answer all of the questions and let Mark Waid run with the ball for a while, and let Kelly Sue and Warren Ellis run with the ball. I'm not going to note it. Dream big. Take it somewhere I hadn't thought of. Hopefully what Jonathan has done for all of us is give us this great problem to solve. And I think we're starting to see all these different solutions."
Finally, it was confirmed that Fraction is penning at least one other one-shot issue in addition to Inhumanity #1. That issue will be revealed in the January 2014 solicitations next month. It's a probably a safe bet that Marvel will have much more to say about Inhumanity at NYCC once those solicits are out and Infinity #4 has shipped.

24 all out! Oman make unwanted history against Scotland
Loop Sports Created : 19 February 2019 Sport
Scotland celebrate a wicket against Oman.
Oman made the fourth-lowest score in List A cricket on Tuesday as they capitulated to 24 all out against Scotland.
In a 50-over contest in Al Amarat, the hosts were bundled out in just 17.1 overs as Ruaidhri Smith and Adrian Neill each took 4-7 to rip through the batting line-up.
The remarkable total is the lowest ever by a senior international side, breaking the previous record of 35 set by Zimbabwe in an ODI against Sri Lanka in 2004.
Oman's number three Khawar Ali top-scored with 15, including the only boundary of the innings, while the three wides sent down by Smith and Neil represented the second-highest contribution to the tally.
Five batsmen registered ducks and, to rub salt into the wounds, Scotland knocked off the 25 required in just 3.2 overs, sealing the victory with 280 balls remaining and ensuring the entire match lasted only 20.3 overs.
Oman will have the chance to atone for their dismal display when they play the second match of the three-game series at the same venue on Wednesday.
"Everything seemed to go quite well," said Scotland bowler Smith in something of an understatement. "It's quite rare, normally there's a partnership somewhere but we kept picking up wickets which were nice.
"I didn't think it was a bad wicket, we just bowled really well and took our chances when they came. If we bowl first again, hopefully, something similar would be nice!"

ICU nurse: "I'm very tired and I'm very ready for this to be over."
Posted at 12:36 PM, Jan 14, 2021
Perhaps no group is more deserving of the question "How are you doing?" than nurses.
For 10 months, they have been on the front lines dealing with some of the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I'm tired. I'm very tired, and I'm very ready for this to be over," said Marissa Dobbins, a 29-year-old ICU nurse at UCHealth in Denver, Colorado.
"It's felt just like a big lack of human connection. Most of the reason I got into nursing was because I love humans and I wanted to help them," added Morgan Quinn, a 29-year-old ICU nurse who works alongside Dobbins.
Combined, the two have been part of the UCHealth system for nearly a decade and say things now have not changed much since March, when COVID-19 was still new and its trajectory was uncertain.
To date, just under 400,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, many of whom have spent their final moments with no one other than nurses who do not only shoulder the weight of care, but in most instances, the weight of entire families
"The weight of knowing that you're the only person in [the ICU], I remember when that first hit me at the beginning of the pandemic," said Dobbins. "I was like, 'If I don't say something or do my job to the best of my ability or advocate for my patient, there's no one else that will.'"
Long hours, emotional stress, and few people who truly get it, Dobbins and Quinn say it can be overwhelming, if not for the bond they have forged with each other through this crisis.
"There's no way we could've done this without each other," said Dobbins.
"People at work are more understanding of [what we go through], and when you're unpacking, they kind of talk you through it, get you through it, but it's also kind of nice to dump it on someone," added Kellie Lind, who also works with Dobbins and Quinn.
As for what we, on the outside, can do? Dobbins, Quinn, and Lind all say that wearing our masks, washing hands, and remaining socially distant helps out their mental state more than we know, as they are the ones tasked with dealing with the ramifications of our actions.

One of New York's largest homeless shelter operators has said it will ultimately not tackle Donald Trump's ailing golf course in the Bronx.
Just two days after the city appears to have found a group to run the facility, an attorney for CORE Services Group, Inc. told executives in an email that the nonprofit "has decided to step down. review, "The City reported.
The deal was announced in a opinion released on Monday that revealed the city's plans to award a company called Ferry Point Links LLC a 13-year deal with the parks department to take over the 18-hole course. As previously reported by The City, the group shares an executive's name – Jack Brown – and a mailing address with CORE Community Services.
The new operator is said to have arrived months after Mayor de Blasio announced that New York City was ending its business relationship with Donald Trump.
A spokesperson for the Department of Parks and Recreation previously told the outlet that CORE was in the process of partnering with Atlanta-based company Bobby Jones Links, which would handle the management of the course. The agency told The City after CORE announced that the company would continue to operate the course.
Neither the Department of Parks nor Bobby Jones Links responded to a request for comment.
The parks department and the city's concessions and concessions review committee are scheduled to hold a hearing on October 12. The new contract would begin on November 15, one day after the deadline set by the Trump Organization to leave the course.
The Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course is one of four contracts the city reviewed and ultimately rescinded in the wake of the Jan.6 uprising on the U.S. Capitol. Two Central Park ice rinks, the Central Park Carousel and the Bronx Golf Course have generated about $ 17 million in revenue per year for the Trump Organization, according to the former president's financial information reported by The Washington Post.
A spokesperson for the Trump Organization told the New York Times the move amounted to "political discrimination" and promised the company would challenge the city's decision "vigorously." However, the city defended its legal basis by claiming that Trump had reneged on his promise to attract a major tournament to the course.

NSCS: Harvick Speeds to Sixth Coors Light Pole of 2014 at Atlanta
RaceChaser Staff August 29, 2014 Featured, NASCAR, Southeast 0 Comments
HAMPTON, Ga. — By Reid Spencer, NASCAR Wire Service — Todd Warshaw/NASCAR via Getty Images photo — NASCAR's new qualifying knockout format — not to mention the quality of his race cars — certainly agrees with Kevin Harvick.
Fastest in the qualifying round that counted, the final five-minute session on Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Harvick put his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet on the pole for Sunday night's Oral-B USA 500 (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race with a lap at 190.398 mph.
The pole was Harvick's sixth of the season, matching the total he accumulated in the first 13 seasons of his Sprint Cup career. It was Harvick's first pole at the 1.54-mile intermediate speedway, following top qualifying efforts at Darlington, Kansas, Michigan, Indianapolis and Bristol earlier this year.
Brad Keselowski took the second position on the grid with a lap at 190.058 mph. Rookie Kyle Larson (189.883 mph) qualified third on pavement he termed "a whole new level of worn out," a characteristic drivers tend to favor.
Ryan Newman (189.396 mph) will start fourth, followed by Matt Kenseth (188.996 mph) and Martin Truex Jr. (188.918 mph). Aric Almirola set the fastest lap of the evening in the first round at 191.278 mph but slipped to seventh in the last session.
Tony Stewart, returning to action after a three-race hiatus in the wake of his involvement in a fatal Sprint Car accident Aug. 9 at Canandaigua (N.Y.) Motorsports Park, qualified 12th but helped Harvick with advice on his racing line before the final two runs.
"He told me to go back to the way I was practicing and used to getting around the race track," said Harvick, who had tried to run Stewart's preferred line in the first round and failed to find the rhythm. "It was definitely the right decision."
For Harvick this year, qualifying has clearly been a point of emphasis, and his results reflect it.
"The qualifying stuff has obviously been a major focus of what we've done," Harvick said. "I think it's kept us in a lot of races where we were off a little bit and gave us an advantage on pit road. …"
"(Crew chief) Rodney (Childers) and the guys focus a lot on qualifying, and I think that when you're able to push the cars and feel comfortable with it like you can right now, it obviously gives me a lot of confidence. It's been a lot of fun. Obviously, it's not something I've done in my career (before this year)."
Keselowski's qualifying effort was his best ever at the track.
"That's a testament to the team and the work they've done and trying to be better," said the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford. "We're having a phenomenal season, but I just wish it had been one more spot instead of second place."
Kenseth led the 10-minute second round with a lap at 190.883 mph. Speeds slowed with each session because of tire wear on the abrasive asphalt.

Novel homozygous nonsense mutations in the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHCGR) gene associated with 46,XY primary amenorrhea
Three 46,XY girls with primary amenorrhea carried novel homozygous nonsense mutations in the LHCGR gene. LHCGR mutations may be a more common cause of primary amenorrhea than previously considered.
Imen Ben Hadj Hmida, Ph.D., Soumaya Mougou-Zerelli, M.D., Ph.D., Anis Hadded, M.D., Sarra Dimassi, M.D., Ph.D., Molka Kammoun, M.D., Ph.D., Joelle Bignon-Topalovic, B.Sc., Mohamed Bibi, M.D., Ali Saad, M.D., Ph.D., Anu Bashamboo, Ph.D., Ken McElreavey, Ph.D.
To determine the genetic cause of 46,XY primary amenorrhea in three 46,XY girls.
Whole exome sequencing.
University cytogenetics center.
Patient(s)
Three patients with unexplained 46,XY primary amenorrhea were included in the study.
Intervention(s)
Potentially pathogenic variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, and familial segregation was determined where parents' DNA was available.
Main Outcome Measure(s)
Exome sequencing was performed in the three patients, and the data were analyzed for potentially pathogenic mutations. The functional consequences of mutations were predicted.
Three novel homozygous nonsense mutations in the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHCGR) gene were identified:c.1573 C→T, p.Gln525Ter, c.1435 C→T p.Arg479Ter, and c.508 C→T, p.Gln170Ter.
Conclusion(s)
Inactivating mutations of the LHCGR gene may be a more common cause of 46,XY primary amenorrhea than previously considered.

Introduction: Determinants of polycystic ovary syndrome
This issue's Views and Reviews series furthers our understanding of the phenotyping and the environmental, genetic, and evolutionary determinants of polycystic ovary syndrome, assisting in elucidating the fundamental etiologies underlying this common and pervasive syndrome.
Criteria, prevalence, and phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome
The authors review the evolution of the criteria used to diagnosis polycystic ovary syndrome, the prevalence of the disorder, the distribution of polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes, their morbidity, and the role that referral bias plays in the epidemiology of this syndrome.
Environmental determinants of polycystic ovary syndrome
This paper reviews the current research on the role of environmental factors in the development and progression of polycystic ovary syndrome, including toxins, diet, socioeconomic status, and geography.
Genetic determinants of polycystic ovary syndrome: progress and future directions
High-throughput disease gene mapping has identified 16 susceptibility loci for polycystic ovary syndrome and functional analysis to understand how these genes act in disease pathways will help to illuminate the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Spaceman Slot on Mobile
Founded in 2015, Pragmatic Play has become one of the biggest names in the iGaming industry. In order to confirm that, not only that it releases great slots, but also other games, including the Spaceman. Inspired by space and astronauts, the Spaceman has some interesting features to offer.
As we mentioned, you don't find any grid here to spin on. Instead, you see a few planets and a Spaceman in the middle. About ten seconds the Spaceman stands while the player is making the bets. This is a game where you don't need to play alone if you like, as other players may join as well.
Just as it is not a classic slot, there are no classic features like cascades or free spins. Yet, further, we'll explain how can you play it. The maximum win potential of the game is up to 5,000x the stake.
As it is obvious from the title, the theme is related to space, the planets and stars. The night sky is dark blue, a little bit purple, and there are planets and stars when the Spacemanstands under the light before he takes off.
You also won't hear a soundtrack while you play, but rather, space sounds, which are related to the winnings. In terms of animations, there is the spacemen flying in space, the winnings counted on the screen, and some slight animations on the sky as well.
As the game has no reels it also doesn't have any symbols. You select your bet while the Spaceman is under the light before he takes off and when it does take off, it col
RTP, Variance and Payouts for Spaceman Slot
The Spaceman RTP is set at 96.50% which is well above the industry average when it comes to slots. It has no artificial volatility. If you want to learn more about volatility and RTP, you can take a look at our variance, volatility and RTP guide.

Gameplay and Features on Spaceman Slot
Since we don't find any classic bonus features which suit reels and rows, below we'll explain how can you play this game. So let's see.
Spaceman Features
To start playing Spaceman, first, you need to set your bet before every round. Once you click on the Confirm bet button you enter the game round where the Spaceman blasts off. There is an increasing multiplier next to him which rises until you hit a win cap or the Spaceman crushes.
You can also choose to hit the Cashout or the Cashout 50% button. The first one removes you from the game with your prize, while with the second one you bank 50% of the wins, and 50% remain in the game, leaving you a chance to cahs out later at a higher multiplier. In case the Spaceman crashes before you cash out, you lose the bet.
There is nothing special to playing this game, except that you should try to press the button as long as possible so that you can build up a larger reward.
Spacemanis a modern game that can also be played on devices with small screens like smartphones and tablets. It runs well on Windows, iOS and Android and it is ready for instant play through mobile browsers, without downloading anything.
