Since its groundbreaking in 2016, EarthCam was working to document this 67-floor, fluted terra-cotta glass exterior NYC skyscraper.

It took over 48 camera angles, 8 widescreen multi-layered panoramas, and 2.5 million images to deliver this epic time-lapse movie.

EarthCam says "Our fleet of cameras from different vantage points across the city enabled us to capture incredible footage of our tower becoming a permanent part of the New York City skyline.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab_2_bHt_GE

The Committee to Protect Journalists promotes press freedom worldwide and defends the right of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. CPJ ensures the free flow of news and commentary by taking action wherever journalists are attacked, imprisoned, killed, kidnapped, threatened, censored, or harassed.

NYC Council is asking Mayor Eric Adams to end the Trump Organization's contract to run a city-owned golf course in The Bronx.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia wants another tournament, but this time in NYC. This is a country on the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia that has a land area of about 2,150,000 km², making it the fifth-largest country in Asia. It is the second-largest in the Arab world, and the largest in Western Asia. There surely is plenty of room there to host any and all golf tournaments.

Why doesn't everyone send a note out of the blue to anyone who's done something nice for you and made a difference in your life? 

I am fortunate to have reconnected with two former greats at the beginning of my long and distinguished communications career. They were Dr. Charles Sweeting, WPU Professor, where I received my advanced degree, and Doctor Ken Tiven Managing Editor WPLG, where I landed my first paying job on TV and earned my street-wise Ph.D. from the School of Hard Knocks (aka) The University of Life.
