Jordan River Utah Temple, Jordan, Utah, USA - Crystal Fountains
The beautifully white tiled Jordan River Temple is located in the southern Salt Lake Valley, Utah. It is the 20th operating temple of “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” which was built with a modern design in 1979. After more than three decades of service, the temple was temporarily closed for an extensive renovation in 2016 and reopened in the spring of 2018 with a new attractive exterior feature. At the entrance of the temple, visitors are greeted with a striking water fountain that carries Crystal's two masterpiece effects, the Cascade and Plume Jets. While the Cascade Jet generates an eruption of foamy white aerated water which falls heavily in a conical pattern and creates sound effects, the Plume Jet produces a long and slender column of water which evolves into a soft plume effect at its peak level creates this intriguing feature. With Crystal’s innovative and custom LED lights, the fountain was illuminated with soothing warmer white providing a relaxing ambiance for the visitors of this beautiful spiritual landmark.

Driving Downtown 360 - Times Square - New York City New York USA - Episode 7.
Starting Point: 7th Avenue .
Times Square is one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, with 50 million visitors annually. Brightly adorned with billboards and advertisements, Times Square is sometimes referred to as The Crossroads of the World, The Center of the Universe, the heart of The Great White Way, and the heart of the world. One of the world's busiest pedestrian areas, it is also the hub of the Broadway Theater District and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. It is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center and neighborhood in the Midtown Manhattan section of New York City at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. It stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily, many of them tourists, while over 460,000 pedestrians walk through Times Square on its busiest days.
What is Virutal Reality?
Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated scenario that simulates a realistic experience. The immersive environment can be similar to the real world in order to create a lifelike experience grounded in reality or sci-fi. Augmented reality systems may also be considered a form of VR that layers virtual information over a live camera feed into a headset, or through a smartphone or tablet device.
What is 360 Degree Video?
360-degree videos, also known as immersive videos or spherical videos, are video recordings where a view in every direction is recorded at the same time, shot using an omnidirectional camera or a collection of cameras. During playback the viewer has control of the viewing direction like a panorama.
Best Way To Watch It?
The Samsung Gear VR is a mobile virtual reality headset developed by Samsung Electronics, in collaboration with Oculus, and manufactured by Samsung. The headset was released on November 2015.
When in use, a compatible Samsung Galaxy device (Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge+, Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, Galaxy S8/S8+, or Galaxy Note 8 is required) acts as the headset's display and processor, while the Gear VR unit itself acts as the controller, which contains the field of view, as well as a custom inertial measurement unit, or IMU, for rotational tracking, which connects to the smartphone via micro-USB. The Gear VR headset also includes a touchpad and back button on the side, as well as a proximity sensor to detect when the headset is on.
Daydream is a virtual reality (VR) platform developed by Google that is built into the Android mobile operating system. Compatible phones that follow the platform's software and hardware specifications (and are thus designated Daydream-ready) are used in the Google Daydream View VR headset. The Daydream platform was announced at the Google I/O developer conference in May 2016, with the first VR headset released in November 2016. Daydream is the company's second VR platform following Google Cardboard, which was a low-cost system intended to encourage interest in VR and was built into compatible mobile apps rather than the operating system itself.
A virtual reality headset is a head-mounted device that provides virtual reality for the wearer. VR headsets are widely used with computer games but they are also used in other applications, including simulators and trainers. They comprise a stereoscopic head-mounted display (providing separate images for each eye), stereo sound, and head motion tracking sensors (which may include gyroscopes, accelerometers, structured light systems, etc.). Some VR headsets also have eye tracking sensors and gaming controllers.
Driving Downtown - Hollywood 4K - USA
Driving Downtown Neighborhoods - Hollywood - Los Angeles California USA - Episode 17.
Starting Point: Hollywood Boulevard .
Hollywood is an ethnically diverse, densely populated, relatively low-income neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. It is notable as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios, and its name has come to be a shorthand reference for the industry and the people in it.
Hollywood was a small community in 1870 and was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It was consolidated with the city of Los Angeles in 1910, and soon thereafter a prominent film industry emerged, eventually becoming the most recognizable film industry in the world.
Motion Picture Industry
Four major film companies – Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO, and Columbia – had studios in Hollywood, as did several minor companies and rental studios. In the 1920s, Hollywood was the fifth-largest industry in the nation.
Hollywood became known as Tinseltown because of the glittering image of the movie industry. Hollywood has since become a major center for film study in the United States.
Development
In 1923, the Hollywood sign was erected in the Hollywood Hills, reading HOLLYWOODLAND, its purpose being to advertise a housing development. In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce entered a contract with the City of Los Angeles to repair and rebuild the sign. The contract stipulated that LAND be removed to spell HOLLYWOOD and reflect the district, not the housing development.
During the early 1950s, the Hollywood Freeway was constructed through the northeast corner of Hollywood.
The Capitol Records Building on Vine Street, just north of Hollywood Boulevard, was built in 1956, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame was created in 1958 as a tribute to artists and other significant contributors to the entertainment industry. The official opening was on February 8, 1960.
The Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The Dolby Theatre, which opened in 2001 as the Kodak Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center mall, is the home of the Oscars. The mall is located where the historic Hollywood Hotel once stood.
Revitalization
After years of serious decline in the 1980s, many Hollywood landmarks were threatened with demolition. Columbia Square, at the northeast corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street, is part of the ongoing rebirth of Hollywood. The Art Deco-style studio complex completed in 1938, which was once the Hollywood headquarters for CBS, became home to a new generation of broadcasters when cable television networks MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Spike TV consolidated their offices here in 2014 as part of a $420-million office, residential and retail complex. Since 2000, Hollywood has been increasingly gentrified due to revitalization by private enterprise and public planners.

Bonarka City Center, Krakow, Poland - Crystal Fountains
Bonarka City Center is situated on the grounds of what was previously the “State Factory of Chemical Fertilizers - Bonarka“. Located in an important historical district of Cracow, this old industrial complex ceased production and was finally closed in 2003. To develop the new mixed-use scheme, it was necessary to undertake a comprehensive environmental clean-up, revitalization and regeneration of this entire brownfield site. Its thorough re-cultivation was necessary to create a people-friendly urban development. It’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest, re-cultivation project of a former industrial plant in Poland.
The overall architectural concept of the shopping center is a contemporary interpretation of city streets and trade square chains with naturally tall palm trees, fountains, pavilions made from wooden beams and bridges etc. -- all connected to retail space / galleries via an attractive glass surface resulting in a truly unique ambiance that would be difficult to duplicate.
The square comprises of a unique fountain surrounded by tall natural palm trees is the most characteristic place in the whole Bonarka centre. The water feature has a number of cascade jets, fog nozzles, and LED lights to create this remarkable feature. There are three huge pavilions which feature cosy coffee and cake shops designed as a combination of beams and arched pillars made from glued timber located in the main passageways.

Michael Jackson documentary 'Leaving Neverland' hits Sundance
(25 Jan 2019) MICHAEL JACKSON DOCUMENTARY HITS SUNDANCE
A nearly four-hour documentary documentary about two boys who accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse had its premiere Friday (25 JANUARY) at the Sundance Film Festival.
Leaving Neverland tells the story of two men who are now in their 30s and began long-running relationships with Jackson at ages 7 and 10 -- when Jackson was at the height of his fame. The two subjects, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, attended Friday's screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Park City, Utah and were seen leaving the theatre.
The Jackson estate has denounced the Leaving Neverland, which was co-produced by HBO and British public broadcaster Channel 4 and will air on the channels this spring.
The film is produced and directed by BAFTA-winning director Dan Reed.
Jackson was acquitted of molestation charges in 2005. Several of his fans gathered outside the theatre Friday with signs supporting the pop star, who died in 2009.

10 Facts Movie Theaters Don't Want You to Know
We all love movie theaters for the special feeling they give with fantastic special effects, complete sound immersion and the taste of popcorn. Would you still love them just as much if you found out their secrets movie theater owners don’t want you to know? We’re going to unveil 10 movie theater secrets.
In cinemas, many people can’t always keep their feelings to themselves and that’s normal. For example, a movie about cannibals called Raw appeared to be too hard to watch for a couple of visitors at The Toronto International Film Festival in 2016. The people fainted and one of them hit his head badly during the fall.
Digital devices can do everything on their own, and there are more automatic processes at a cinema than there were during the previous century.
Keep it in mind that in case there are some problems with a projector (the image is blurred, not centered, etc.), you’ll have to stand up and go notify a staff member in the lobby.
20% of the population, including Johnny Depp himself, simply can’t perceive those three dimensions. Harvard Medical School neurobiology professor Dr. Margaret S. Livingstone explains it could be due to stereo-blindness when eyes can’t see in 3D because of the way they are aligned.
If you love cleanliness that much, try to visit the cinema in the morning and avoid going there on Friday and Saturday nights when a lot of other people go out to the movies.

The biggest part of the profit isn’t earned by ticket sales. 0:49
There’s a lot of piracy. 2:45

People often fight at the movies. 8:32
You are being watched! 9:00
SUMMARY
-Theaters have to pay a lot to film studios in the first two months of distribution so they have to make their money out of concession.
-The cinema staff members who manage to prevent movie theft get a $500 prize.
-The younger generations buy a ticket when two movies start simultaneously, and one of them is not R-rated.
-A movie about cannibals called Raw appeared to be too hard to watch for a couple of visitors at The Toronto International Film Festival in 2016. The people fainted and one of them hit his head badly during the fall.
-One couple stuffed a truckload of food into an infant’s car seat and went to watch a movie. A girl from put some pasta into zip-lock bags and brought them into the cinema with her.
-3D glasses give you an illusion of being inside a movie and it drives your visual analyzer crazy.
-Even though a movie projector has to be programmed during the day, there’s nobody sitting in the booth when you watch a movie.
-A short break between two movies is not enough time for a cinema staff to thoroughly clean up a theater.
-Someone who loves to fight will always find a reason to do so. It could be that someone took someone else’s parking place, they talked on the phone during the movie, or someone is chomping too loudly.
-Thanks to security cameras, movie theater staff can spot and kick out couples that go too far on their “loveseats”.

Banksy - Street Art @ Sundance Film Festival 1/25/10

Gare du Palais, Quebec City, Quebec - Crystal Fountains Inc.
The impressive fountain sculpture entitled Éclatement II at place de la Gare on rue Saint-Paul is by Charles Daudelin, a master of abstract sculpture whose work combines movement, volume, and matter. Set to the magnificent backdrop of Gare du Palais - a heritage railway station built in 1915, the central fountain welcomes visitors when they exit the station. It is a great spot to relax and enjoy the fountain and surrounding floral displays. In this piece with overlapping tectonic plates, the powerful spray of water pays homage to Québec’s hydroelectric heritage. The fountain also echoes the artist’s work at Place du Québec in Paris, entitled Embâcle, highlighting the ties that bind these two capitals of the French-speaking world, one in North America, the other in Europe.
