The Wayfinding skatepark will double as a performance space and public art installation featuring the work by artist Ryan McGinness. It will also be open and free to the public.

A recent report by Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana shows a trend that focuses on how automative jobs may be increasing the unemployment rate.

YouTube has Not Made a Profit, but Musicians Want More Money from the Streaming Music Service
YouTube is in hot water over their streaming music service with musicians looking to obtain more money for their content. Personally, I also want YouTube to start paying more for content. YouTube does provide a free server to upload data for their users. This is one of the many tradeoffs that major media outlets overlook when covering this debate.

That cost should be far more transparent. YouTube

UFC and Showtime PPV have partnered together to bring combat action fans a fight for the ages. In the past, Floyd Mayweather has picked up an impressive record of 49-0. He has
The Solar Eclipse May Impact Solar Power Panels around the Globe
The upcoming solar eclipse is making waves before the event happens on August 21. It is clear that the moon will block the sun for a period of time that day, but it is unclear how much solar power that will decrease over the day. A recent study by Bloomberg shows that close to 7 million homes would not be able to run on the 9,000 megawatts that may be unavailable during the solar eclipse for solar power consumers. The decrease in production will impact homeowners that consume and work with solar power. Depending on what part of the
