New York
Activists Try Leveraging New York with SRBC and DEP Complaint
Natural Gas Now
The anti-gas crowd, desperate to avoid bringing any economic hope to upstate New York, is at it again with a hapless letter to the governor and the state's Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) suggesting New York use its position on the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) to go after Pennsylvania. It's a transparent attempt to take the edge of the Commonwealth's success. Pennsylvania's good fortunes have become increasingly embarrassing to Governor Andrew (Lady MacBeth) Cuomo as he tries to avoid deciding on whether or not to allow high-volume hydraulic fracturing in his state while the Southern Tier disintegrates economically.
Fracking Opponents Benefit from State Land Deals
Natural Gas Now
How do the major groups involved in fighting fracking and natural gas development in New York finance their activities? Well, they have a lot of money at the outset from the Park and Rockefeller families, but they also have special arrangements with the State of New York that allow them to do very profitable land deals.
Tour the Utica shale play
Columbus Business First
Energy companies are betting big on potential oil and natural gas riches in the Utica shale play, risking $8 million to $9 million in drilling costs per well with no guarantee of a payoff down the line. That was one of the many things I learned Thursday during a tour of the Utica play at sites around the Marietta area in southeast Ohio. I tagged along with a group of 40 science teachers who attended a two-day workshop presented by the Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program.
June 28 is deadline for veterans seeking drilling scholarships
Akron Beacon Journal
ShaleNET wants Veterans, and a key application deadline for scholarships specifically for Veterans is fast approaching. Former service members interested in applying for a scholarship to train for a career in the growing natural gas industry are encouraged to submit applications before June 28 to www.shalenet.org/.
NWPOA to DRBC: Stop Obfuscating and Start Delivering
Natural Gas Now
The Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has, as many readers know, simply opted to sit on already drafted regulations of natural gas drilling in the basin since September, 2011, in a stunning display of government malfeasance that throws the Constitutional rights of every Upper Delaware region landowner down to the ground and stomps all over them. The Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance (NWPOA) is fighting back to reclaim our rights as property owners. We issued a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) demand to the agency, which was blithely rejected by their FOIA officer, appealed that decision and got an acknowledgment from the Commission Secretary that we were, in fact entitled, to much of the information we had requested, although she did everything possible to make securing of it a daunting task.
WACTC breaks ground for new welding center
Washington Observer-Reporter
In about six months, Western Area Career and Technology Center will open a new welding shop building that will help the school and the area meet a burgeoning demand for welders that began several years ago and shows no signs of letting up. During groundbreaking ceremonies for public officials Tuesday morning – participants were handed gold welding masks in place of traditional hard hats – Dr. Joe Iannetti outlined plans for a new 11,500-square-foot building that will train students in welding, fabrication and machining for the center's manufacturing cluster.
Obama Declares War On Coal, Embraces Pipeline
President Obama launched a 'war on coal' in his climate change action plan, released early this morning and addressed from Georgetown University this afternoon. In 2008, Obama warned that his policies would bankrupt anyone who started a coal power plant, and today this controversial policy will begin to impact America's middle class.
GOP Slams Obama's 'War on Coal'
U.S News & World Report
Republicans are taking the offensive and accusing President Obama of waging a "war on coal" and a "war on jobs" with his new proposals to reduce carbon emissions and limit climate change. Obama unveiled his proposals Tuesday in a speech at Georgetown University that set off a firestorm of criticism from conservatives and triggered a strong defense from environmentalists. "I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing," the president said. "And that's why today I'm announcing a new national climate action plan."
Frack Music Attracts Halliburton to Submarine Spy Tool
A gossamer-thin glass line threaded two miles underground is allowing oilfield engineers to listen to a new kind of music: the sounds of fracking. Halliburton Co. and competing providers of drilling gear are adapting acoustic spy technology used by U.S. submarines to record sounds made deep in the earth that can guide engineers in finishing a well and predicting how much oil will flow.

Minibars BANNED in Costa Blanca hotels because Brits continually booze in their room then refill bottles with WEE
90 per cent of minibars along Costa Blanca have stopped installing minibars in their hotel rooms
HOTELS in Costa Blanca have banned minibars because British tourists keep refilling the bottles with wee and other liquids.
A hotel association for Costa Blanca and Benidorm reported "mostly British" tourists drink the bottles from the minibar and then refill them to avoid paying the over-inflated prices.
A Hosbec spokesperson told local media: "It may seem ridiculous, but I can assure you it is true.
"We have had people filling bottles with pee, and thank God that staff have always detected it."
As a result 90 per cent of minibars along the eastern Spanish coast have stopped installing them.
One in three tourists surveyed by Hosbec admitted to drinking the bottles from the minibar and then refilling it with water or other unspecified liquids.
Hosbec also reports that minibars have not been considered cost-effective as a contributing factor to getting rid of the service.
Other commons offences committed by hotel guests staying in Costa Blanca are allowing undeclared guests to stay in hotel rooms, and stealing towels and food.
These offences were most commonly committed by British tourists, according to Hosbec.
Some hotels have chosen to just get rid of alcoholic beverages and only stock the minibars with water or juice.
Other hotels have installed vending machines in common areas such as the lobby and hallways.
Since 2015 hotels have not been obligated to provide a minibar in hotel rooms and hotels that are three stars or below have been previously exempt.

Slim and stylish, with its matte-black and brushed-silver finish, the Shuttle XPC X100 is a striking attention-getter that would fit well in your office or your living room. This US$1323 system (based on our test configuration) is more about form than functionality, however.
When laid flat, the PC takes up about the same amount of space as a stack of paper--it measures a scant 8.3 inches wide by 11.8 inches deep, and it stands a mere 2.1 inches tall. The unit comes with a sturdy yet unobtrusive metal stand so you can orient the system vertically instead. Setting up the X100 is a breeze, as it's highly mobile and easy to position. The matching, included 17-inch Shuttle XP17 LCD is similarly portable, offering a handle and a built-in folding stand; it rendered reasonably good image quality, too.
To achieve its compact size, the superquiet X100 incorporates notebook components instead of larger desktop PC parts. Our test model came with a 1.6-GHz Intel Core Duo T2050, ATI's Mobility Radeon X1400 GPU, a 250GB hard drive, and a slot-loading, multiformat, double-layer DVD burner (with a maximum single-layer DVD write speed of 8X). The system conveniently stashes a Memory Stick and SD Card reader right between its power button and its blue status light on the front of the case.
Not surprisingly, the small case design eliminates the option of upgrading (the case does have some screws, but if you remove the top, you void the Shuttle warranty). The case has little real estate to spare for connectivity and components. It has only a handful of ports--namely, one front-mounted USB 2.0 port, four rear USB 2.0 ports (one of which must be used with the bundled splitter to connect the included wired Logitech keyboard and mouse), one FireWire port, gigabit ethernet, S-Video, audio inputs and outputs, and DVI-D (digital only).
As much as the X100's design impressed me, the system's performance did not: In our WorldBench 5 tests, the unit scored a 92, slightly below the current average mark of 95 for value desktop systems. Its graphics performance was at the low end of our range of average results for value desktops as well; I noticed image glitches while playing a game, but not while watching a DVD movie.
If you simply want a desktop system that will take up minimal space, the XPC X100 will suit you well. I can also see it having a role in the living room if you lay out more cash for a roomier hard drive and a TV-tuner card. But if space isn't an issue, you can spend less money on a slightly larger desktop PC that will provide you with a lot more power.

The company says Otherworld is amazing—like nothing you've ever seen before. They say it's addictive—that you'll want to stay forever. They promise Otherworld will make all your dreams come true.
Simon thought Otherworld was a game. Turns out he knew nothing. Otherworld is the next phase of reality. It's everything you've ever wanted.
And it's about to change humanity forever.Welcome to the Otherworld. No one could have seen it coming.
We are so incredibly excited to have authors Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller here at our blog today, talking about their fabulous new release OTHERWORLD! We loved this amazing, mind bending read so much!
Check out our interview with the authors below, and enter to win a hardcover of OTHERWORLD as well!
- Describe where the idea for OTHERWORLD came from, and how your writing process works?
The idea for Otherworld came after I first demoed the Oculus Rift at Sundance a few years ago. My first thought was: This is going to change everything. I had been a big fan of a game called Myst when I was a kid—it's a computer environment that you get to wander around, explore, and solve puzzles in. I imagined how extraordinary it would be to have that sort of experience in a truly immersive way. Then I thought, People will never want to leave. That's sort of where it all began for me. I drew up a very rough outline and called Kirsten. I told her the idea, and our adventure began. If The Matrixand the Lord of the Rings went to their high school reunion and had a one-night stand,Otherworld would be their illegitimate child.
The first Nightmares! book was a very particular situation in that we were adapting an existing script. I know scripts, and Kirsten knows books, so it was really a match made in heaven for me. As we've progressed, the dynamic has really evolved. I brought a rough idea of Otherworld to Kirsten, and then she brought a whole world of life, depth, and specificity to it. Our weird tastes overlap, and we feed off each other in fantastic and unexpected ways. We essentially create a really detailed outline; then Kirsten takes a run at our first draft. We then hand the manuscript back and forth until we have created a funky masterpiece. I couldn't do any of this without a tremendous amount of hard work from Kirsten.
- What sort of research did you look into while writing OTHERWORLD?
There were three elements to research for the book: Virtual Reality, Mythology, and Conspiracy. It was quite fun. For the Virtual Reality element, Kirsten and I both got VR headsets and delved into all the currently available apps. It was exciting and scary to see not only what exists now but also to imagine what must be right on the horizon. As for mythology we decided that Otherworld would be built heavily on world myth so we did a lot of reading in that arena. Finally for conspiracy theory we pretty much just turned on the Internet.
- What were some of your favorite video games to get lost in as a teenager?
As I mentioned, the only game I was really obsessed with was called Myst. While there was an element of gameplay, more than anything for me it was about wandering around this beautifully ornate virtual environment. I played every night. I would just meander around looking for secrets. I was a pretty dorky kid, but it led me to who I am today!
- Will there be more books about OTHERWORLD in the future?
Yes indeed. Otherworld is designed as a trilogy and I can't wait for everyone to see what we have in-store.
- What was your favorite part about writing NIGHTMARES!?
I wrote Nightmares! as a script when I was twenty one years old. To see it take on this new life as a book series has been amazing to behold. It is a special kind of alchemy to think of an idea on your couch at twenty –one and walk into a book store at thirty seven and see an entire series sitting on a shelf. I feel very lucky to get to make things I love, and I feel especially lucky to have met Kirsten Miller.

Philippines Puts Anti-Drug Campaign on Hold to Tackle Corrupt Police Force
MANILA – Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa on Monday disbanded the Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (AIDG) following the death of a South Korean businessman allegedly at the hands of rogue police officers.
General Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa said they need to rid their ranks of "scalawags" Monday, following President Rodrigo Duterte's admission the force was "corrupt to the core".
Duterte, in a break from his steadfast support for the police, estimated 40 percent of the force were corrupt and as "lousy as drug lords", responding angrily late on Sunday to the kidnap and killing of a South Korean businessman by drug squad officers.
Duterte has been unwavering in his defense of police involved in the campaign against drugs in the face of international outrage over the death toll, and repeatedly said he would protect those accused of wrongdoing.
He has, however, frequently voiced frustration at police corruption.
Duterte made it clear the drugs war would continue until his presidency ends in 2022 and his police chief, Ronald dela Rosa, said he hoped operations could resume within a month.
"To all the rogue cops, beware! We no longer have a war on drugs. We now have a war on scalawags," Dela Rosa told reporters after a flag-raising ceremony at the police headquarters where South Korean Jee Ick-joo, 53, was strangled in October.
"We will Cleanse our Ranks."
New York-based Human Rights Watch dismissed the suspension of the anti-drug campaign as a public relations stunt, unless Duterte "seeks meaningful accountability" for the wave of drug-related killings unleashed after he took office seven months ago.
More than 7,000 people have been killed in the Duterte administration's bloody crackdown on illegal drugs, with 2,250 dead in police operations and the rest classified as "under investigation".
The drugs war has alarmed the West and rights groups accuse Duterte of tolerating a wave of extrajudicial killings by police. Police deny this, saying they have acted in self-defense.
"Dire Consequences"
While rights groups suspect many of killings being investigated have been police "hits", police have attributed the deaths to vigilantism, narcotics turf wars and other violence not related to drugs.
"His wilful blind-eye to those deaths constitutes a disgraceful betrayal of the public trust," Phelim Kline, the group's deputy Asia director, said in a statement, referring to Duterte.
Kline said it was "a telling indicator of his personal contempt for rule of law and the right to life of his fellow citizens".
Dela Rosa's decision to suspend the drug crackdown came a day after he announced the dismantling of all anti-drugs units due to police abuses, including the planting of evidence.
The death of Jee was a disaster for the image of the police.
Jee was arrested for drug offences that his wife and lawyers said was an official cover for kidnap for ransom.
Senator Leila De Lime, Duterte's most outspoken critic, said the president had a problem with "cognitive dissonance" and it was baffling that he could so strongly denounce police yet vow no let-up in the campaign.
"I continue to worry about the state of the president's mental health," she said in a statement.
"This latest incongruence between his factual assertion of a rotten police force on the one hand and his reliance on them to continue prosecuting his drug war as official government policy, has dire consequences."
Duterte on Sunday said he underestimated the drug problem and declared that his war on drugs would continue to the end of his term as president.

I've used The Guterman Tax Law Firm for many years for all my estate planning. Barry Guterman is extremely knowledgeable about setting up and updating our Estate plan. He had many good suggestions as to how to save money and maximize what will be passed on to heirs. He is extremely highly recommended for this work.

Wow!! Barry is a genius. He probably saved my relationship with my brother. Long story short, my brother and I sold a property that we owned together but the title was in my name only. My brother and I had polar opposite opinions on how to handle the tax treatment, which made a very stressful situation for both of us. Barry was recommended to me by a friend who said he was the best in the business when it came to tax laws. My friend was more than correct. Barry took our problem and quickly came up with a settlement solution with made both myself and my brother happy and, at the same time, resolved any potential IRS problems. He also spent time over a weekend writing up the settlement as we had a time crunch due to the pending escrow closing. A+++ service from an extremely knowledgeable and friendly man. I can't recommend Barry enough!!!!

Barry has represented our company two times regarding IRS issues, most recently to appeal an administrative adjustment levied by IRS as the result of a TEFRA audit. Barry's tax code expertise and skillful mediation ability made for a successful appeal. He is a great guy who is easy to work with and I highly recommend him for any tax issues.

Yelp Review
5.0 stars
I am not usually one to complete such reviews. However, after the level of service that I just received from Barry Guterman, I must post this to the public so others can find this gem practitioner. I am a CPA with a master's in taxation, but I had a tax issue that I couldn't personally resolve and reached out to numerous accountants and attorneys to find the right person to handle the issue. I was referred to Barry by a retired judge as well as another CPA I consulted. After receiving the same recommendation from two independent parties, I contacted Barry. He responded to my voicemail within hours and set up a meeting within the week. The legal work required was on a tight deadline and he worked over a weekend to complete the job timely. Hence, in terms of his level of service, the entire experience was outstanding.
Next, as I stated previously I have a master's degree in taxation, I was blown away by the tax knowledge that he off the cuff explained to me during our first phone conversation. He is seriously extremely gifted in practicing tax law. There are many attorneys out there stating that their expertise is tax, but Barry actually has a LL.M. (postgraduate law degree you receive after your J.D.) in taxation from NYU (one of if not the best program in the country) and it shows. I received consults from other attorneys that made me uncomfortable as a CPA because I did not feel they understood the law or consequences. Barry made me feel at ease with his solution for my issue because he is such a master in his interpretation of tax rules and regulations.
Lastly, he has amazing people skills. He led a tense family meeting for us with professionalism and competence in addressing everyone's concerns.
Barry really is the full package in the legal industry. I will be sending him all my personal tax and estate planning legal work in the future as well referring my clients and friends.
– Brenda
I have known Barry for over 40 years and was luckily one of his first clients. He has remained my firm's corporate and tax counsel throughout the life of my company.

The Common Denominator
I hold such gratitude for blessings in my life in all of its forms: opportunities, challenges, people. I know how very fortunate I am.
I've held always a genuine appreciation for authentic, levelheaded, friends and family who no matter how outrageous my life became stood resolute in normalcy that I admired even though for whatever reason for so long a time I could not attain for myself. I held genuine appreciation and admiration for my mentors, be they peers, employers, friends or family. Still today I am humbled by the time and energy they invested to nurture and cultivate a potential they saw in me when I couldn't see it myself. All of this support enabled me to pursue, build, and ultimately prosper in a successful and rewarding life.
I hold immense gratitude for the opportunity to achieve my life-long dream of attaining my college degree. At forty-five, I think the taste was sweeter than had I achieved it two decades earlier even though I wish I had. I wonder how much further I could have gone in my career and professional life had I had that diploma in my hand sooner. The truth is, I learned so much more about life the way it all unfolded. The stops and starts for lack of funds were heart-wrenching. More often than not I felt I would never reach my goal. I almost gave up. But, step by step, course by course, eventually on a May afternoon I stood in line with a graduating class. The day I walked on stage and took that diploma in my hand was one of the happiest and proudest days of my life.
I have so much for which to be grateful. I count my blessings every day.
Today, I can even find gratitude for the hardships and refuse. Oh, how those memories pain me. But, facing them as opposed to ignoring them helps me to process them. Thus, allowing me to incorporate into my life what I might learn from them and let them go. Sadness creeps in and I grieve for what was lost - time, energy, opportunities, if onlys. If only I had matured sooner. What more? What if? But, I've gained from these too. Most striking about the despair is the realization of how far I've come. I could not have appreciated the latter had I not experienced the former. Growth came through perseverance. It was arduous and claimed every speck of strength I could muster. I see it now, and I am grateful.
There is so much for which I am grateful. Yet until recently, I had left an important element off my gratitude list: self. I was so appreciative of the opportunities and to those who offered them to me that I perceived it all as luck. But, this perception left unnoticed my ability to seize what was offered and capitalize on it - to make my own luck. It finally came to me that if I was willing to step up and take responsibility for the ill-fated portions of my life, then I must be willing to step up and take responsibility for its success. I brought to the table my thoughts, my beliefs, my actions, my self-respect, my lack thereof. The common denominator in each equation was me.
It took time but now understand; I was the common denominator through it all and that in order to effect practical change I needed to address that function in all equations. I understand that now.
To see this is captivating and it's life changing.
I have the capacity today to be selective of which brass rings I stretch to grasp - for not all speak to my soul.
I have the capacity today to heed an inner wisdom which leads me in directions I would not ordinarily choose - but which I recognize as growth.
I have the capacity today to recognize an opening door and one that is closing - and the wherewithal to manage each with dignity and respect.
I have the capacity to experience growth at its edgy fast-and-furious pace and at its uncomfortably slow pace - each holds unique challenges. For the most part, I've found growth is achieved at the slower rate with a great deal of introspection which I liken to finding the common denominator of an equation and addressing its function in order to achieve a favorable result.

By Emilie. It might not be your first choice of city break, but maybe it should be.
I'd never thought to visit Krakow. In the long line of European cultural capitals to visit (Rome, Paris, Barcelona, et al…) it never seemed to get even nearly close to the top of the list. However, a result of it being dirt cheap and having a large volume of very stylish airbnb apartments I found myself there this spring for the first time, and I have to say that it's one of my favourite places I've visited. Possibly ever.
Maybe it was the gorgeous hot weather or the fact that this was Krakow Take Two, after our first attempt at the trip was cancelled by the Beast from the East snowstorm a couple of months ago. Or maybe it's just because this place is awesome – a near-perfect collision of culture, history and hedonism. Whatever your take on it, here's my list of the must-do's in Poland's cultural gem…
1) Hang out in Main Square. It's one of the biggest medieval squares in Europe at 40,000m squared, so make sure you really drink it in, literally, by positioning yourself at one of the many tables and chairs dotted around to people watch to your heart's content. The Aperol Spritz and Daquiris just fell onto the table of course.
2) Get one of the golf cart tours. You might sneer at them when you first arrive (guilty as charged) but they're actually a great way to get your bearings in the city and introduce you to the places to see – the Jewish Quarter, Ghetto and Old Town. The driver will also wait for you outside any sights you want to get a closer look at. For the more adventurous among us, there's Segway tours. Hmmm.
3) Walk around the Jewish Quarter. One of the best things about Krakow is that it's wonderfully compact, so make sure you leave aside some time to just mosey around, particularly around the cobbled streets of Kazimierz. There's plenty of cool street art, cafes and a flea market at the Jewish Square to check out and enjoy. Expect to see a mix of antiques, jewellery, and a good selection of vintage vinyl.
4) Visit Schlinder's Factory. Let's be real; museums on holiday can sometimes be hard work, especially when the weather is glorious outside. There were no such qualms with this place, however. It's not quite what was expected; it was more of an overall history of WWII than Oskar Schindler himself, but the focus on people-led storytelling kept it grounded and totally heart-wrenching. Fascinating.
5) Following on from this, it goes without saying that Auschwitz is a must-do when you're in Krakow. Haunting and emotive, it's something that you have to see to appreciate the full scale of the horror of what happened. Totally humbling.
6) Take a river cruise. Yes, it may be super-touristy but it made a refreshingly breezy break from the bustle – afterwards we had time to quench our thirst with the crowds on the restaurant boats that were docked on the side of the river.
7) The Salt Mine is also a must-visit. I didn't have high hopes for this, following on from the disappointingly dull underground museum at the Main Square. However, from the moment you're trying not to trip down countless stairs underground to when you step into the great hall, which is something like a dwarven palace out of The Lord of the Rings (yes, I am a dork) you know it's well worth the money.
8) Lost Souls Alley. This won't be for everyone, but if you have a predilection for horror movies and fancy a change of pace from the museums, then this could be right up your street. Hidden up a gloomy-looking alley, it's essentially a terror-fuelled escape room. It's definitely not for the faint-hearted but it is very, very fun.
9) Eat brunch. Perfectly placed to mop up all those vodka tasting hangovers are the multitude of amazing brunch places in Krakow. As someone with a current obsession for eggs, all ways, I had ample opportunity to sample them in a mix of chilled, hipster cafes with friendly-albeit-slightly-slower-than-desired service.
I'd also recommend the traditional Polish dumplings which are filled with meat or cheese. Tasty, but incredibly filling, say hello to an instant food baby.
Have you been to Krakow? What was your favourite thing you did?

Oreo offered a 3D adventure through an animated wonderland of cascading white frosting waterfalls, striped chocolate hills, and a river of floating cupcake-flavored cookies. And Tom's, the philanthropic shoe manufacturer, documented the journey of a skateboarder from California to Colombia, where he met children benefiting from customer purchases by receiving free pairs of the company's shoes.
With technological advances and more platforms and wearable devices than ever before, the power of immersive and interactive video has officially infiltrated the world of experiential advertising. The revolutionary format can demonstrate products from clothes to cars at every angle, communicate a brand's mission, supplement traditional advertising, and provide a unique blend of information and entertainment. It also gives marketers feedback on content by recording views and what customers have chosen to see.
Since 2015, an increasing number of brands have begun launching immersive and interactive videos as part of their experiential marketing and creative strategy, with ads from Samsung and Lufthansa to Colgate and the Broadway musical "School of Rock," which reached 1 million views in three days. The technology is fascinating, experts say, but the business potential of 360-degree video, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) is greatest when impactful stories supercede the technology and create genuine connections with consumers.
"We believe the appetite for immersive ad experiences is growing rapidly and that savvy brands and agencies who want to interact authentically with consumers and drive higher engagement should explore these ad formats," said Tripp Boyle, vice president of emerging platforms at video advertising firm YuMe.
A 2016 Nielsen analysis found that roughly one in four U.S. consumers between 18 and 54 identified themselves as likely to use VR technology in the next year. According to another survey of 800 adults conducted by YuMe, about 60 percent of 800 respondents who tried VR said that it created a positive view of brands, and more than half who saw 360-degree videos said they were more likely to engage with an advertisement in that format.
VR content was found to elicit higher emotional engagement and longer engagement periods than traditional 2D, according to YuMe and Nielsen. For example, Hong Kong Airlines' 360-degree ad was 35 times more effective than the same ad in its traditional 2D format, the study showed, and 63 percent of US consumers who have tried an immersive experience feel it's the "next big thing" in video.
"Brands are forging the way, using 360-degree video to film big events or get creative with ads," wrote Aaron Luber, who launched YouTube 360 and leads Google's AR/VR content partnerships and business development, in his article Think with Google. "For content creators, the potential of 360-degree video and VR is immense, but it'll require a shift in thinking. VR lets viewers be active participants; they can look wherever they want. As Google's principal VR filmmaker Jessica Brillhart puts it, the story is everywhere. So, rather than telling a story frame by frame, filmmakers need to build entire worlds."
seeing is believing
Here are five ads worth taking a look at:
- AT&T's "It Can Wait" used an interactive 3D environment to simulate several near misses and, ultimately, a car crash with a texting driver to highlight its phone safety message;
- A 360-degree video series to promote Thailand tourism featured an elephant farm in Chiang Mai because…well…who wouldn't want to see that up close?
- For BMW, Gigi Hadid stepped into a blue M2, one of five identical cars set to race on a remote desert highway. Good luck figuring out which vehicle contained the supermodel as they swerved and passed each other at high speeds, but the car manufacturer intended for its adrenaline-packed experience to send viewers to the nearest dealership;
- A Danish tourism video took viewers on a whirlwind sightseeing tour through Copenhagen's centuries-old waterfront district and aboard a boat near Denmark's infamous wind turbines;
- And Qantas, Hamilton Island and Samsung created a VR experience for prospective tourists that featured flying with pilots in the Qantas cockpit, swimming with sea turtles, playing golf, and traveling on a helicopter and yacht.
Some observers remain cautious about adopting 360-degree video as a marketing tool early on, especially if it is not strategically planned or well-produced. Others say it's a mistake to dismiss immersive and interactive technology as a costly "experiment." Virtual reality is the future of content consumption, and you don't want to have to play catch-up, said Andy Yang, Chief Executive Officer of 500px and a longtime tech industry entrepreneur.
"There are huge wins waiting for businesses and photographers alike, if we are willing to get messy, creative, take some risks, and step into the future of visual storytelling," he said. "[In] a few short years, we will be living in a base world that will sometimes be indistinguishable from virtual reality, and where business clients and consumers alike will no longer just be delighted by an immersive experience, but will expect it."

El Salvador court frees woman jailed under anti-abortion law
SAN SALVADOR - A Salvadοran woman accused of the attempted murder of her newbοrn baby under the cοuntry's strict abοrtiοn laws after she was raped by her stepfather was freed by a cοurt οn Mοnday after mοre than 18 mοnths in jail.
Imelda Cοrtez, 20, gave birth in a latrine in April 2017 and left the baby there. When Cοrtez was treated at a hospital afterward, doctοrs suspected she had tried to perfοrm an abοrtiοn.
The cοurt determined that Cοrtez, who had nοt knοwn she was pregnant, did nοt try to kill her infant daughter. The child survived.
As she left cοurt, Cοrtez, who was arrested shοrtly after the birth, was greeted by cheering relatives and human rights activists holding signs demanding her freedom.
Cοrtez's stepfather has been arrested and is awaiting trial, Salvadοran prοsecutοrs said.
Fοr the past two decades, El Salvadοr has had some of the wοrld's mοst severe laws against women who have abοrtiοns οr those who are suspected of assisting them, even when the life of the woman is at risk.
Some 22 mοre women are serving sentences of up to 35 years fοr aggravated homicide linked to abοrtiοn, accοrding to the Grοup fοr Decriminalizing Abοrtiοn.
"This sentence ... represents hope fοr women who are still in prisοn and are also being tried fοr aggravated homicide," defense lawyer Ana Martinez said.
President Salvadοr Sanchez Ceren in 2017 prοpοsed a law to allow abοrtiοns in cases of rape οr when the mοther's life is at risk, but Cοngress did nοt pass it.

Editor's Note: This one of an ongoing series of articles about members of the Arts Guild of the Barrens.
LaVonia Carole Olson is excited to be doing her first solo art show.
Her artwork is currently on display at the Glasgow-Barren County Chamber of Commerce.
"When I walked in and it was up, 'I was like, oh, wow,'" she said. "It's an interesting mix of feelings to see all your artwork up."
Olson moved to Glasgow more than four years ago from Florida and settled on her grandparents' farm. Making the move with her were five of her six children.
As a single mom, she juggles work, homeschooling and duties as a mother while still trying to find time to concentrate on her artwork.
She works with a variety of media, including fabric, thread, yarn, water color, fabric paint, wood, glass, spray paint and acrylic paint. She primarily works with acrylic paint.
"Acrylic is very versatile," she said, adding it can be thinned and used like watercolor paint, or thickened to use in another manner. She also likes acrylic paint because it dries fast.
"I think I would enjoy oil, just how it moves on the canvas and all," she said, but she's not quite ready to give it a try.
Olson has very little formal training in art.
"I didn't do art until about 20 years ago. Before that I didn't do any," she said. "And then about 10 years ago, I started doing it a little more consistently."
She is currently taking correspondence art classes through the Minnesota Art Institute.
Olson chose to do the correspondence class in 2010.
"I really wanted a systematic approach, since I really hadn't had any training at all," she said. "I wanted something that started real basic and took you further on."
Olson does not have a favorite subject she likes to paint. That is something she is trying to figure out, she said.
She does know she enjoys doing paintings that have meaning, and said it is usually the meaning behind the paintings that inspire her to do them in the first place.
Olson hopes to sell her paintings, and possibly develop a type of business through which she an sell her artwork.
Her work can be viewed at the chamber of commerce at 118 East Public Square from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
A reception honoring Olson is planned for 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the chamber of office.
Olson is also a member of the Arts Guild of the Barrens and plans to display artwork at the art guild's gallery at 212 On the Main.

After transfering $20, any further attempts to transfer more are blocked stating that you have exceeded the daily limit.
It doesnt state a daily limit anywhere?
1) transfer between $2 and $20 worth of credit in any one transaction; and
2) transfer a maximum of $100 worth of credit in any one calendar month
Perhaps it needs to be reworded in this instance to show a limit?
Perhaps one of the 2degrees guys who frequent here can get that clarified :-)

Pakistani brothers in arms take French cuisine by storm
Sylvestre and Jonathan – not the names they began life with – are succeeding at what the French consider they do best, creating sumptuous dishes
The world of French haute cuisine has been made to sit up and take notice of two gifted sons of a Pakistani father who found a new life in the West by joining the Foreign Legion.
In a chic Parisian arrondissement and in the heart of Provence, Sylvestre and Jonathan – not the names they began life with – are separately succeeding at what the French generally consider they do best, creating sumptuous dishes for discerning diners.
As boys, the brothers were happy to play cricket in the streets of Kohat, 70 kilometres south of Peshawar.
The tables of exquisite restaurants frequented by figures from film, music, big business and politics could hardly have seemed more distant.
Yet in a fiercely competitive environment, the Wahid brothers are now acclaimed chefs with three Michelin stars between them, a shared appetite for relentless work and limitless ambition. They have also converted their skills into business success.
Paris vows to beat Frankfurt in fight for financial power post-Brexit
They served together for several years at the famed French restaurateur Jean-André Charial's magnificent Ousteau de Baumaniere at Les Baux-de-Provence, north of Marseilles. Sylvestre was the chef and quickly acquired two Michelin stars, Jonathan the patisserie chef with a national award under his belt.
When they branched out in different geographical directions, they retained a professional relationship.
Sylvestre, now 42, moved to Paris and succeeded the venerated Jean-François Piege as chef at the four-star Hotel Thoumieux, where he runs two restaurants – one bearing his name – and leads a team of 25-30 staff.
Portrayed in glowing French media accounts as a chef "out of the ordinary", he is happy in his work but dreams of opening his own restaurant or restaurants in such cities as Abu Dhabi and Dubai, New York and Los Angeles.
And he has already given himself a taste of entrepreneurial commitment by joining his younger brother in buying and developing the Auberge Saint-Remy de Provence.
The day-to-day running of the restaurant and hotel is very much in the hands of Jonathan, 40, and his wife, Fanny Rey, France's only Michelin-starred female chef in 2017 and a past finalist in French television's Top Chef contest. But beyond the ties of a close family, the brothers retain a professional and business relationship.
Both are conscious of operating in a notoriously fickle sector where flair is not enough.

LVMH earnings take off at fastest pace in six years
"The terrorism attacks in Paris affected everyone and it has not been easy," says Sylvestre, who is "crossing fingers" for a third Michelin star in January. "But if you take proper care of your business, you can make a restaurant succeed provided you never forget the golden rule - work, work, work."
Jonathan, the father of two children aged 13 and eight, echoes his brother's words. "In this business, you need to combine passion, endeavour and ambition," he says. "The guiding principle is work hard, work quickly and work better.
"We have put a huge amount of into preserving the history and identity of our establishment and strive constantly to improve everything we do."
The Auberge employs 25 people and has 11 rooms although the restaurant accounts for 80 per cent of revenue, with an average of 25 to 30 guests each lunchtime and 40 for dinner.
"Our history and that of the Auberge are above all the story of a couple - Fanny the chef, me the pastry chef - and in her case working enormously to her own culinary signature.
"Fanny and I own the entire property but it is true that being together, and sharing knowledge, with Sylvestre makes us much stronger in terms of evolution.
"He is our financial partner but also gives us his vision of cuisine. Remember he is a great, highly experienced chef whose help we consider precious. Fanny is younger, less experienced. It's an exchange and a matter of sharing."

Carrefour aims to push sales after earnings slide
The brothers' outstanding progress is all the more astonishing when their origins are fully understood.
It was on little more than a whim, and a fondness for western films and television programmes such as The Great Escape and Robin Hood, that their father left Pakistan to join the Foreign Legion in the south of France.
Six years later in 1984, having established himself in the unit's catering service, he was allowed to bring his family to join him.
When The National featured the brothers in 2009, their father, by then retired from the Foreign Legion, said everything he did on arriving in Europe was guided by a belief that "when people move to another country, it is for them to adapt, not the other way round".
This view was later mirrored by Mohed Altrad, the illegitimate Syrian-born son of a Bedouin tribal leader who turned a a bankrupt scaffolding business into a French multinational, with 17,000 employees and a turnover of US$2 billion (Dh7.34bn).
Initially encountering racial prejudice on winning a scholarship to study in France as a teenager, he decided that "for me to stay, it was not France that had to change for me, but me for France".

Lack of snow chills French ski resorts
For the Wahid family, this meant changing first names to appear more French. The father had already become Henry Wahid and he quickly changed his sons' names from Shahzad and Jawad.
Like Mr Altrad, the brothers have never forgotten their roots. But it was not until this year that they returned for the first time to Pakistan, invited by the French ambassador there to cook for an official function in Islamabad.
"It was a short trip, just four days, but very moving," says Jonathan. "We managed to see relatives and also something of the way Pakistan, as a relatively young country, is developing so quickly and successfully."
In their high-profile careers, both brothers have cooked or baked for such celebrities as the British actor Hugh Grant, the former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and – before they separated - the Franco/American film couple Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp.
In Paris, Sylvestre has prepared dishes for a wide international clientele, including visitors from the UAE.
But for Jonathan, the status of his customers is unimportant. "We have a very wide client base, international but also European and even local," he says, "and for us it makes no difference whether our customers are known or not. We just want them to be happy."

I know you have had him on a few times. A few is NOT enough!
I'd love an in-depth discussion on intersectionality. I know you've touched on the subject before, but an long interview with an expert on the subject would be awesome!
I can't get the premium rss to work, on my third podcast player app now. Am I doing it wrong? What apps are you guys using?
Are you planning to finish your multiple part dissection of the Red Pill documentary/advert? I really really enjoyed the first one. It was great to talk about and I feel like since you're about to do an interview with Tom Curry about that Facebook post that blew up, it would be good timing. (Tom is an excellent example of a feminist who cares about issues that disproportionately effect men)
I would really like an interview with James Hughes (a sociologist and bioethicist) from the IEET, a technoprogressive thinktank about biopolitics/transhumanism (lots of words I know). – biopolitcs = emerging 3rd spectrum on the politcal compass. liberal to conservative on biotech and human enhancements etc – technoprogressive = liberal end of social//economic/biopols spectrums, rejecting the anti-science, luddite, anti-biotech part of the left. Its optimistic about technologies potential to improve the world, but acknowledges that risks and consequences etc must be acknowledged, and the benefits shared equally I think you and James would have an interesting chat, you can talk about… Read more »

Is there anything nicer than sitting on the back porch with family and friends? We love porch life, especially when the weather is nice. It is even more fun to eat outdoors, enjoying nature and the fresh air. We are hoping the weather will be nice enough to spend some time outside during the Thanksgiving Holiday this year!
I can't believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I've been in Thanksgiving mode for a few days, menu planning and thinking about tablescapes. I'm excited to have family and friends gather once again!
I was feeling rather creative this morning and decided to do an impromptu tablescape on the loggia. I didn't go to the store to buy one thing for it! I shopped my home!To create an inexpensive tablescape, the first thing I do, is think about what I have that I can use, with things appropriate for that particular season. Since I used traditional Fall colors on the loggia or back porch this year, I knew my color scheme would be soft oranges, pinks, greens and white.You don't have to have a table cover, or placemats, but I had these pretty soft orange placemats on hand, so I started with those. I also had some crisp white ruffled linen napkins. I simply tied each one with a piece of jute, and tucked a few sprigs of thyme from the garden into each one. Oh, it smelled so yummy!For my place setting, I used these vintage green and white ivy adorned plates that used to belong to my mom. I have a collection of green antique glasses and set them at each place setting. Next, I adorned the table with these sweet baby boo pumpkins. I gave each one a nest of colorful Nandina sprigs that I snipped from the garden. My mind always wanders to the garden when I am decorating. Not only is using things from the garden an inexpensive way to dress up the table, but it also adds an element of texture, beauty, and the outdoors. I already had this galvanized bucket of faux blooms on the table, so I just added some Nandina stems to it!A pretty pillow and throw on one of the chairs adds a cozy touch and finished off my impromptu fall tablescape perfectly! Now it is all prepared for a Fall luncheon, or a Thanksgiving breakfast or brunch. I hope I have inspired you to try something new when planning your next tablescape. Don't be afraid to use your imagination, and your own personal touch. Your unique table design can spark some interesting conversation and inspire your guests to try something themselves! It's so fun! Thank you for coming! Happy Thanksgiving!

Essex Baby Review
These award-winning Bambino Mio nappies look simple and stylish. Are they really as easy to use as a disposable?
Bambino Mio offer the miosoft two-piece nappy and the miosolo all-in-one nappy. The miosoft consists of a soft and highly absorbent cotton nappy, which is used with a water resistant cover. The miosolo is a super nappy which is designed to be as easy to use as a disposable. Both nappy styles are available in a variety of colourful patterns.
Miosoft Two-Piece
Reviewer's Opinion
This is the first time I have tried out reusable nappies. My baby boy was about 3 weeks old when I started using them and he was still quite small at around 8lbs. I had four covers and five packs of the nappies (which come with four in each pack).
I liked that I didn't have to change and wash the entire nappy with each change, as the waterproof cover is easily wiped cleaned. The only time I found I have needed to wash the outer cover is when there has been a poo explosion! Otherwise it has just been a case of changing the inner nappy.
These nappies have been very easy to use as they are quick to wash and take around 4 to 6 hours to dry. I was a bit wary that the Velcro fastenings on the cover may look worn quite quickly, but because they are not going through the wash very often they have lasted well.
The two-piece system has fitted my baby pretty well. I had a few leaks early on at night time, but they seem to have disappeared now. In my experience they last about as long as the average disposable nappy before they're soaked through.
The Verdict
I found these nappies to be absorbent, easy to care for and great all-rounders. I also thought they were very good value for money as the covers cost around £7 to £8 and the packs of four cotton nappies to go inside at around £14 to £16. Essex Baby rate these nappies a 4.5 out of 5.
Miosolo All-in-One
Reviewer's Opinion
After my success with the Bambino Mio two-piece system, I found it a little harder to get on with all-in-one nappy.
Both nappies seem to perform equally well when it comes to absorbency and leaks – when my baby was small we had a few leaks at night, but now it is quite rare to have any leaks. However, I don't like that I have to wash the entire nappy with each change. This is much more time consuming and each nappy takes at least 10 hours to dry.
As I original thought, the Velcro fastenings haven't lasted that well in the wash. They look very worn and have curled slightly, making their stickability a little unreliable. I think they are also more bulky than the two-in-one nappy, although I didn't find this to be too much of an issue.
The Verdict
Overall, the all-in-one nappy performed as expected and is easy to use. However, I do wonder if the extra bulk is completely comfortable for little ones – not that my baby complained at all!
The miosolo all-in-one nappy retails at around £14 to £16, which I think is quite expensive compared to the miosoft two-part nappy. Due to this fact, as well as the rapidly deteriorating Velcro, Essex Baby gives this nappy a 4 out of 5.

A lot of celebrities and famous people in North America and the UK are and were big fans of champagne. Here are five iconic celebrities' with their favourite Champagne tipples.
Roger Moore
Roger Moore, famous for his role in many movies including the James Bond films from "Live and Let Die" to "A View to a Kill" which gives him a high ranking celebs status among his fans and the world. His favourite champagne is Dom Perignon 52′ which comes in at around £3000 pounds a bottle. When asked about his passion for the beverage he said "Any man who drinks Dom Pérignon '52 can't be all bad." Seems like the villain hunter of 007 has a good sense of character.
Kim Kardashian
Made famous by her "Meet the Kardashians" TV series and her just shy of 30 million Instagram followers. The Kardashians sister loves to relax with her high end Armand De Brignac. When she was asked about her love for this particular (£800) bottle of champagne, she claims that if she was going to spend mass money on anything she would want it to be champagne. Smart woman.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The French military, political and influential leader is said to have loved his champagne more than anybody. He is also said to have kept 30 bottles of the Jacquesson & Fils-Brut in his ships at all times to be able to relax after a victory. The champagne cost him greatly through his campaign of Central Europe, Russia, and the Americas with the champagne alone coming to around £50,000 a bottle when he was alive and drinking his way through a total of around 200 bottles of champagne. He is once thought to have said "in victory you deserve champagne and in defeat you need it.
Sir Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill was partial to the odd champagne when not fighting the war. He believed that Pol Roger was a amazing champagne that all should enjoy, it should also be known that the brand was funding the war effort at the time but never the less the brand was known across the country for making the finest champagne. the champagne its self would have cost a mere £40 in modern currency but with the war going on and most of the worlds funds being plunged into the conflict it is no wonder that it was such a small amount. He is said to have thought very highly of the Americans, claiming that "Meeting Franklin Roosevelt is like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him personally is like drinking it."
Daniel Trump
This man likes his bottles of champagne to be immaculate in every sense from the crisp taste to the packaging it comes in. he drinks Louis Roederer Cristal to be able to get this sense of pleasure. One bottle alone comes in at just over 26,000 pounds and has a 24 karat gold packaging. It is of no surprise that they only come around at 200 bottles a year. He is said to be very fond of the bottles saying that a little moderation is good for some but his life is not one for moderation.
