DJI Opens Its First Drone Arena in Korea

DJI Opens Its First Drone Arena in Korea

SEOUL, South Korea, July 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the world's leading maker of unmanned aerial vehicles, will open a DJI Arena in Korea, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for customers to learn how to fly a drone and a gathering place for aerial enthusiasts. The 1,395-square-meter arena is located in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, 49 kilometers south of Seoul, and will open in mid-August.

The indoor venue will be equipped with safety nets, an adjustable LED-lit circuit for those who want to test their skills, and a LCD TV for a more immersive experience via first-person view from their drone. A maintenance room will be fitted with charging docks and a workstation for people to do minor repairs.

"DJI is committed to making aerial technology more accessible and easier to learn for anyone who wants to use it, and the DJI Arena is a great example," said Moon Tae-hyun, DJI Korea's Country Manager. "We hope to provide a safe and fun environment for people to experience the technology first hand, whether they are skilled enthusiasts or someone who is just curious to learn. Best of all, the indoor venue will provide a space for people to fly all year round despite weather conditions outside."

The DJI Arena will be open for individual and group bookings, corporate event rental and a venue for DJI's New Pilot Experience Program and workshops. For skilled drone pilots and UAV clubs, the arena can also offer the stage for more advanced flying experiences and drone racing.

Just four months ago, DJI opened its first overseas flagship store in Hongdae, Seoul. The Korea Flagship store has now become a gathering place for aerial enthusiasts to learn about DJI's latest aerial platforms and camera equipment.

Information about the arena's availability and reservation will be available after mid-August.

"2017 will begin a new era for broadcasting, with the post-auction repack and the initial rollout of Next Generation TV (or ATSC 3.0), and clearing this backlog sets the stage for that," said Rebecca Hanson, SVP of Strategy and Policy for Sinclair. "We look forward to starting this next chapter with a clean slate in the Media Bureau and to help lead the way through the challenges and opportunities to come."

"Dear Dolly", An Open Letter To Dolly Parton, Makes CMT World Video Premiere Today, July 29

"Dear Dolly", An Open Letter To Dolly Parton, Makes CMT World Video Premiere Today, July 29

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Curb Records' rising star Ruthie Collins and CMT teamed up to premiere Collins' newest music video, "Dear Dolly" today across CMT, CMT Music and CMT.com. The song, originally written by Ruthie, Natalie Stovall and Jessica Roadcap is self-described as "an open letter to Dolly Parton." The song's inspiration was formed during the writing session as several discussed the daily struggles of pursuing their dreams. "When we wrote this song, one of us was having a challenging day of being a female vocalist in this town, and one of us had gotten some information about the release of our record that we weren't too excited about," admitted Collins, saying that "The excuse was the gender. That got us a little fired up, and we were a little bit frustrated. We didn't know where to turn. This was about three or four years ago, and it just seemed like the state of Nashville at the time. There was nobody that we could reach out to for inspiration. One of us said, 'I wish we could write a letter to Dolly Parton. She's seen it all.'"

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160729/394192

To view "Dear Dolly" video, visit: http://on.cmt.com/2aeKZpn

The song's deeply personal lyrics read, "You don't know me at all. I didn't know who to write, I didn't know who to call. They say it's a man's world, and it's not that I'm not good enough, but nobody wants to hear little songs from a girl. I'll keep singing my heart out...because that's what you would do if it were you, Dear Dolly."

No matter life's circumstances, Collins believes any woman can find something in the song that resonates. "The inspirational message is to guide all girls of any age to pursue your dreams regardless of obstacles," said Collins.

"Dear Dolly", is available now digitally at: http://flyt.it/DearDolly

Ruthie Collins was recently named as one of CMT's Next Women of Country, which launched in 2013 to give more attention and airplay to emerging female artists. The franchise was a precursor to acclaim for a number of artists on its roster, and subsequently spawned two female-fueled tours in 2015 and 2016. Collins will also be featured as part of the recently announced digital performance series "Next Women of Country LIVE" on CMT.com.

Hard at work finishing, writing and co-producing her debut album, "Ruthie Collins' music is both a showcase for the richly interwoven clarity that is always a hallmark of great Country Music, and a surprisingly bold lesson in how to arrange and produce that music" (Huffington Post).

Collin's multi-faceted artistry is on display with her love affair with all things vintage, carefully weaving in and out her musical passions along the way. Fans often find new music peppered within clever social media videos including 30 second DIY projects or her successful Pinterest Pass or Fail Series.

Los Angeles Premier of "If I Could Tell You," Starring Kevin Richardson (Backstreet Boys), Jim O'Heir (Parks & Recreation), and Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue, Shameless)

Los Angeles Premier of "If I Could Tell You," Starring Kevin Richardson (Backstreet Boys), Jim O'Heir (Parks & Recreation), and Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue, Shameless)

LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Clyde Brothers & Squint Pictures announce the August 2, 2016, Los Angeles premiere and iTunes release of "If I Could Tell You," a 35-minute film drama that delves into the struggles surrounding infertility and showcases the new, desperate lengths that some are willing to go to via the online underworld of black-market sperm donors and fertility treatments.

Where: Downtown Independent Theater (Downtown Los Angeles)
251 S. Main Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012.
(213) 617-1033

When: August 2, 2016. Red carpet photos begin at 7 p.m. The screening begins at 7:30 p.m.

Who: Following the screening will be a Q&A with the filmmakers (Rob & Ben Clyde); cast members Avery Clyde, Kevin Richardson, Jim O'Heir (tentative), Sharon Lawrence (tentative), and Joel Bryant; plus leading fertility specialists Dr. Paul Turek and Dr. Mark Surrey. Joel Bryant will be the Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

Event Sponsors: The Turek Clinic and Southern California Reproductive Center.

Community Sponsors: SCRC, eIVF, Fertility Planit, Path2Parenthood, Fertility Within Reach, Baby Quest, JND Global

Abby Taylor believes deep in her soul that she was meant to be a mother. Fertility treatments have left her and her husband broke and without options. Looking for a fresh start, she attends a transformational Breakthroughs and Miracles seminar. But what Abby isn't telling anyone, including her husband, is that she is really there to meet with an anonymous sperm donor that she found online. She's going to take one more chance at conceiving a child -- even if it means she could lose so much more in the process.

The inspiration for the story comes from co-director/writer Rob Clyde's own experiences with his wife, Avery Clyde, who plays Abby in the film. Rob was inspired to write a script exploring the challenges they faced. "It's such a personal battle that's hard to share with others, because so many people simply don't understand. We want to convey to viewers that this is happening all around us, and most people don't even know it," said Clyde.

Backstreet Boys member Kevin Richardson, who stars as the anonymous sperm donor, also wrestled with infertility with his wife, Kristin. "I am honored to work with my friends, the Clyde Brothers, and I hope that this film will provide hope to those on this journey, while exposing the raw feelings to those who have never dealt with infertility," stated Richardson.

For ticket information to the August 2nd premiere, please visit http://bit.ly/IICTY_LAScreening.

This film will be released on multiple VOD platforms (Google Play, Amazon) and on iTunes starting Tuesday, August 2, 2016. For further information, please visit http://www.ificouldtellyoumovie.com/.

Rob and Ben Clyde, The Clyde Brothers, are filmmakers based in Los Angeles, Calif. Fueled by their childhood addiction to film and television, the brothers founded Squint Pictures, an independent creative production company offering high-level production and creative collaboration in advertising and entertainment.

40+ Years Later... Gary Wright's Lost 1972 Album, "Ring of Changes," Gets Released July 29

40+ Years Later... Gary Wright's Lost 1972 Album, "Ring of Changes," Gets Released July 29

Album Features Wonderwheel, His Band With Future Foreigner Guitarist Mick Jones, Including a Guest Appearance by George Harrison on Slide Guitar

LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Keyboardist Gary Wright is the New Jersey-born psychology student who landed in London at the height of the rock revolution in 1967, where he founded Spooky Tooth and had a successful solo career producing the classic hits "Dream Weaver" and "Love Is Alive." Wright recorded Ring of Changes in 1972 with Wonderwheel, a band featuring Mick Jones, who would go on to found Foreigner, Lindisfarne bassist Tom Duffey and John Bonham-influenced drummer Bryson Graham, with Jones and Graham later joining him and Mike Harrison in a reunited Spooky Tooth. The planned follow-up to Wright's two previous solo albums for A&M Records, 1970's Extraction and 1971's Footprint, the finished record will be released for the first time to digital retailers through UMe and as a CD by Cherry Red internationally on July 29.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160727/393629

"I hadn't listened to it in 40 years, but when I put it on, I thought to myself, 'I can't believe this was never released,'" says Wright. "It was more of a rock album than what I had done, but I think it stands up alongside anything that you might hear being played on Classic Rock radio around the world. I hope that people will be surprised by the material. I'm proud of it and I'm glad it's finally coming out so everyone can hear what we did all those years ago."

Produced by Wright and one of the first albums to be recorded at the newly opened Apple Studios on Saville Row, Ring of Changes is remarkably eclectic in style, ranging from the funky blues of "Goodbye Sunday," with lyrics by Gary's sister Lorna Lee, featuring a George Harrison slide guitar solo that sounds like an outtake from All Things Must Pass (which Wright famously played on) to the Crosby, Stills & Nash folk-rock harmonies and Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" feel of the album's epic closer, "Creation."

"That was the track that got me when I listened to the album again," said Wright.

There are also stylistic nods to The Band in the soulful country of "Set on You," a rollicking Mad Dogs and Englishmen feel to the Hugh McCracken-penned "Something for Us All" and the previously released single, "I Know" (a bonus track which never appeared on the original album) with its The Who meets Bad Company flourish. "Goodbye Sunday" was previously released by the German label Ariola after it was featured in a ski documentary.

Wright, who was originally introduced to George Harrison by his Hamburg mate Klaus Voormann, who played bass on Gary's first two solo albums, explains how the Beatle ended up playing slide guitar on "Goodbye Sunday," which was not the first time either - Harrison had previously played on Footprint under the pseudonym George O'Hara.

"We were in the studio and I was showing him the song," explains Wright. "He just started playing slide guitar and came up with that line, which I think really worked."

Wright was an American student in Germany when he formed the band the New York Tymes, who were the openers for Traffic's very first gig in Oslo, Norway, where he was introduced by his New Jersey buddy, producer Jimmy Miller, to Island chief Chris Blackwell, who put Gary with members of a band called Art to form Spooky Tooth.

Wright first played keyboards on Harrison's "Isn't It a Pity," then went on to play on most of the rest of the All Things Must Pass album, as well as George's sessions for Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy" and "Back Off Boogaloo." The pair became lifelong friends, sharing an interest in Eastern religions, with Wright contributing to several of Harrison's solo albums. Wright also played keyboards on Nilsson's classic "Without You." Upon signing with Warner Bros. in 1975, Wright released his classic album Dream Weaver, which produced a pair of hit singles in the title track and "Love Is Alive."

Wright remains an active presence on the touring circuit, having gone on the road in recent years with Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band and Hippiefest, as well as releasing albums on his own Larkio Music label. Wright will perform several dates with Al Stewart this summer, including:

August 19 The Kent Stage in Kent, OH
August 20 The Wildy Theatre in Edwardsville, IL
August 21 The Meyer Theatre in Green Bay, WI

"All good things last," says Wright about the album's appeal after all these years. "That music had the power to endure because of the songwriting and lyrical content. All those bands had something very special. It's stood the test of time."

Ring of Changes offers proof that some things never change, even after 44 years - like the appeal of great rock music.

The complete album track list for Ring of Changes:

1. Lovetaker
2. Wild Bird
3. Something for Us All
4. Set on You
5. Ring of Changes
6. Goodbye Sunday
7. For a Woman
8. Workin' on a River
9. Creation
10. I Know (bonus track)
11. What Can We Do (bonus track)
12. Somebody (bonus track)
