Multimedia News and Information Platforms

The interactive world is constantly changing, and the number of different devices that connect it all is growing every year. City Island Images does not publish 10 times a year, or once a week. We publish news and information content 24/7

The issues that arise is that there are no rules for this 24/7 multimedia service. As content organizations create new products with different systems and media technology, it’s inevitable that we’ll have to come up with creative ways to adapt for our audience.

Some of the most popular musicians representing many generations, from Bruno Mars to Katy Perry to Paul McCartney and Ringo to Taylor Swift received their industry's highest recognition.

For the rest of us, it's an opportunity to see and hear some of our favorite stars. But other than live performances, what music do we listen to? Gone are the simple days of the Victrola, the home stereo system, and the Walkman. With the demise of record stores and the advent of digital sound, music fans have a dizzying array of choices as to where they get their music and how they listen to it.

PRAY FOR WARMER WEATHER

The cold war era may be a thing of the past, but the cold weather refuses to go away. Winter ends on March 19 and as far as most people are concerned, they wish it would end right now.

Some folks who are not very religious, or spiritual are praying for this God forsaken record-low temperatures to finally end. Soon others will be dealing with more snow and much colder temperatures. Forecasters say the "polar vortex" that's bringing the frigid air may decide to stay a while. This news has lots of people struggling.

As the saying goes, it ain't over till the fat lady sings. That wont be till at least next week. There's snow in the forecast for NYC on Saturday followed by another storm threat late next week and the frigid temperatures could possibly ease in time for the fat lady to sing during Super Bowl Sunday.

Another arctic cold front is on its way, it you believe what experts at NOAA say: A LIGHT COATING
OF SNOW IS EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOLLOWED BY A QUICK DROP IN TEMPERATURES INTO THE 20S. THIS COMBINATION WILL LEAD TO ICY CONDITIONS ON UNTREATED SURFACES OVERNIGHT.

The name Castro has been in politics for decades and the Castro brothers (Fidel on the left) have ruled Cuba with an iron fist for just as long. Thanks to the harsh and tyrannical control by the infamous dictators known as The Castro Brothers, Cuba remains a single party Marxist island with the lowest internet and cell phone service for their local citizens in our entire western hemisphere. How much longer will our world allow this?

However, ii it time to make room for a new and improved political duo of Castro brothers?
