Leonardo DiCaprio to Discuss Climate Change at SXSL 2016 with President Obama
Leonardo DiCaprio will be showcasing his latest documentary Before the Flood at South by South Lawn on October 3. DiCaprio first debuted the film at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 9. "The origins to wanting to do a film like this is to give the scientific community out there a voice. Because we have long ignored the predictions of the scientific community. 97% of the scientific community agrees we are contributing to the issue of climate change in such a major way that we are altering the course of the future as we know it." - Leonardo DiCaprio Before the Flood features a
Fall Trends in Virtual Reality with Oculus 3D Technology
Oculus, a virtual reality technology company, has continued to push forward despite their ongoing legal battles. The company is currently in the process of working with the legal system to settle a dispute over intellectual property rights within the company. My view on intellectual property is that the producer should be compensated for their work. As a producer myself, I understand that you have to protect your information in a similar manner as other products to a business. As the company releases more videos games and virtual reality projects, the holiday season is looking to be stocked with new titles
Governors of Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina have Declared a State of Emergency
Last week, Colonial Pipeline had an oil spill that took place on September 9 in Shelby County, Alabama. After the spill, more than a quarter of a million gallons of oil have been leaked into Shelby County. Oil and gas continues to create environmental issues across the world. As the United States rapidly moves toward renewable energy, there is still a large amount of energy being produced with oil and gas. The pipeline that burst starts in Houston and ends in New Jersey. It supplies a large amount of the gasoline to power automobiles in the eastern section of the
Amazon Launches Their Largest Wind Farm in West Texas
Amazon has announced plans to open their largest wind farm in Scurry County, Texas. This progressive step forward mirrors the companies ability to adapt, and react to the demands of an evolving world.

10 Reasons Why Computers Are Not Journalists
As a journalist, I find that the recent wave of removing jobs from people with experience in the journalism industry to save money with algorithms is unreasonable, unethical, and displays a backwards thinking mentality. To explore my theory, I plan to show the different dimensions of being a journalist, and the capacity a human being has to do the different jobs, along with the current state of electronics and robotics in mass market today. If a company is investing in a limited ability in overall news gathering, it displays to me, a mismanagement of the resources in the company. Let's look
The Zika Virus: Locally-Transmitted Cases vs. Travel-Related Cases
The Zika Virus is an infection that can cause birth defects, and can impair brain functionality for newborns with mothers infected with the virus. A large majority of reported cases of the Zika virus have been travel-related cases, such as a person traveling to Central and South America, and returning to the Untied States. The 14 locally-transmitted cases of the Zika virus have been reported near Miami, and in the Florida area. New York City is currently working to prevent mosquitos from populating in heavy traffic areas. The New York Times mentioned that the city plans to increase spending to
California Roads Expand with Renewable Energy
Engineers in California are trying new methods to produce renewable energy with their roadway system. Recently, state officials have gave the green light to a pilot program including piezoelectric crystals that will be installed on several freeways. The crystals generate electricity by a form of kinetic energy as automobiles drive over the roadway. This system has been shown to be successful in other parts of the world, such as Japan, and now will have the opportunity to help the United States transition to renewable energy. EcoWatch notes: In fact, scientists estimate the energy generated from piezoelectric crystals on a 10-mile

Amazon and Kickstarter are teaming together to provide a platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their funded projects on Amazon.com. Shop the latest tools and technology, as well as a toy, electronics, books and more helpful accessories to scan over. It would be interesting to see Amazon work more with the Sundance Film Festival to provide a section of the site focused on the films being screened at the film festival, past films and 3D projects. It would be great to have a preview function to stream the movies, and a watch later option, to buy the film after it is
