The introduction of this concept aims to characterize the pinnacle of private jet aviation

HOUSTON, Feb. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury travel boutique DreamMaker (www.HouseofDreamMaker.com) debuts Experiential Aviation℠ in its $13,875,000 private jet trip around the world named Passport to 50.  The concept introduces Experiential Aviation as an unparalleled experience in the sky that transforms notions of private jet travel from being a mode of transportation to an experience all on its own.  The unprecedented DreamMaker experience is slated for August 11, 2017, covering 20 cities in 20 days.  To receive further information on Passport to 50 or DreamMaker, please contact info@PassportTo50.com or visit www.PassportTo50.com.

A classy poker tournament, private trunk show, and a carousel of interesting personalities - all of it makes the time fly.

"DreamMaker has focused on the experience for almost 30 years," says founder Gregory Patrick.  "Through Experiential Aviation, we are innovating and enhancing the experience from wheels up to wheels down."  Some key features include inflight yoga sessions, spa services, fashion shows, and a hybrid of hypnotherapy and sleep therapy by holistic health guru April Norris.  The services of a photojournalist, videographer, and social media secretary are enlisted to document the trip for guests on board, leaving more bandwidth for clients to enjoy the many aspects of their vacation.

Another vital part of Experiential Aviation is the personalities invited onboard for casual and intimate interactions.  From conversations with individuals such as boxing legend Roberto Duran to the former chef of the Queen of England, or even a $500,000 charity poker tournament with Daniel Negreanu, guests can choose their level of engagement with the individuals who are hopping on and off different legs of the flights.

"Particular attention is paid to the optimum blend of sleep and enjoyment as one's inability to properly rest will negate anything enjoyed in the air or on the ground," says Gregory Patrick.  "Certified sleep professionals are onboard to orchestrate light, sounds, aroma, hypnotherapy, and even wearable sleep technology to ensure that guests are rested enough to optimize their awareness and well-being."

To commemorate this marquee trip, a set of 50 18-karat gold swizzle sticks worth one million dollars, hand-crafted by partner World of Diamonds Group, will be gifted to each guest by their host.  The objet d'art features 20 white diamonds marking each destination on a spinning globe.  One rare blue diamond, a signature of the Russian mining consortium, sits atop as a symbol of the blue sky traveled throughout the journey.  "The swizzle stick is a wonder of diamonds and beyond - a masterpiece that stirs conversation," said Director Karan Tilani.  

Upon its sale, Passport to 50 will fund the provision of clean drinking water for 50,000 at-risk children, builds fun centers for over 50,000 children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, and provides 50 children at each of the 50 chosen Cambodian villages to receive bicycles as transport to school.  Charity partners include Water.org, Starlight Children's Foundation U.K., Make-a-Wish Foundation Philippines, and Whole Child International.

5G Should Include TV and Video as 'Anchor' Use Case

BOSTON, Feb. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- TV and video delivery is likely to become a core capability of next generation 5G wireless services, concludes a new report from Strategy Analytics. Recent demonstrations have suggested that 5G will support 1Gbps data throughput rates. Combining 5G with other networking enhancements and technologies would allow operators to support TV-equivalent services which could eat into the $500Bn global TV and video market currently served by cable, satellite, IPTV and terrestrial broadcast service providers.

"Data rates get the headlines, but other network technologies will also make or break the business case for 5G TV services," says Sue Rudd, Director, Service Provider Analysis. "The efficiency of the end-to-end network will determine whether 5G TV is possible, but we have seen enough from early demonstrations by operators like Verizon, Deutsche Telekom, SK Telecom, AT&T and BT to suggest that it will arrive sooner or later in many parts of the world."

The report points out that the number of households and devices supported by a 5G TV service within any cell will make or break the 5G TV business case. The number of termination locations can be increased by a factor of three or more by deploying several network enhancements that deliver 'trunking' efficiency in the Radio Access Network (RAN). These include MIMO and beamforming for optimal spectrum use, virtualization of cell sites, dynamic throughput over backhaul networks and network slicing to guarantee data rates to the household.

"Television is already being transformed by new digital services like Netflix and Amazon," notes Michael Goodman, Director, TV and Media Strategies. "The arrival of 5G TV wireless services could herald another wave of TV disruption through the 2020s and beyond."

"The emergence of 5G TV would represent a further stage in the convergence of media and communications, and wireless and fixed services," says David Mercer, VP and Principal Analyst. "It would also raise important questions relating to the roles of different ecosystem players and the future structure of the media value chain."

TAICHUNG, Taiwan, Feb. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CMKI (the "Company") through its wholly owned Taiwanese subsidiary, GuanHauSoft Gaming, announced today the recent signing of a profit sharing agreement with Shan Dong Hui Tian Xia Culture Media Co., Ltd., ("Shan Dong") a large travel and tour company with principal operations in China. GuanHuaSoft will adapt several of its most popular games and integrate them with Shan Dong's existing iOS and Android applications as well as creating a Virtual Augmented Reality 3D animated component for Shan Dong's travel and tour mobile app. CMKI anticipates a revenue stream from this transaction beginning in the second quarter of 2017.

CMKI has decided to focus a portion of its creative efforts and investment capital in a new direction with the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary dedicated to the creation of 3D animation banners geared to the small and mid-sized business market. To that end, CMKI has secured the domain name, www.3dbanner.info. The Company's market research indicates that these banner ads, featuring both clients and employees as actual animation characters in the advertisement, would receive a positive reception among potential clients, especially in the US and Asian markets. With 40 programmers and 12 art designers, these ads can be created quickly and at low cost to CMKI and offered to clients without any upfront charges. This can be accomplished by utilizing LEC billing arrangements whereby the client pays for this service through its local telephone bill and CMKI is paid directly by the carrier. While there are several companies presently offering 3D banner ads, none combine the unique features of this model together with the no cost option to the clients. CMKI has already begun discussions with several sources, including the Local Area Yellow Pages in San Francisco, to gain access to their entire client base. CMKI looks forward to a strong reception for 3D banner launch and expect positive cash flow from "New Generation Yellow Pages" to begin by mid-year.

CMKI has been negotiating with a private investor for several months now to secure a loan of up to $US 5 million to expand our operations and to acquire other compatible gaming companies that the Company has identified. CMKI is hopeful that an initial closing and receipt of the first payment $US 2.4 million will take place on or about February 10th, immediately following the Chinese New Year.

It has taken CMKI a bit longer than expected to gear up the operations after the acquisition of GuanHauSoft by CMG Gaming. CMKI is updating its website, business plan and financial models and has completed posting current information on OTCMarkets. CMKI have arranged for an audit for 2016 and will file it on a timely basis. Now with the launch of 3D animation activities, combined with the development of new games and applications every 90 days and the several potential new clients with whom CMKI is presently negotiating, the Company is poised to produce strong results for its shareholders in this new year and beyond.

Turkish Airlines launches its new commercial starring Oscar-winner actor Morgan Freeman 

Turkish Airlines, the winner of the "Best Airline in Europe" award for the last six years in a row given by the most respected global airline passenger survey organization, Skytrax, debuted its new commercial starring Oscar winner Morgan Freeman.  The commercial was first aired during the most-watched show in U.S. TV history, Super Bowl, the final game of the National Football Team (NFL) on February 5th.

     (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20161202/445171LOGO )

After meeting the audience with a fantastic ad campaign "Batman v Superman" in last year's game at Super Bowl 50, which had an estimated audience of over 800 million people worldwide, Turkish Airlines once again made a debut with a new commercial starring Morgan Freeman at this year's game.

The commercial film is directed by the famous director Matthias Zentner, who has also directed commercials for many global brands. Shot in Los Angeles in a period of 10 hours with a crew of 101 people, the commercial will be meeting the audience on 16 TV channels, and the most prestigious media outlets around four continents.

Commenting on the deal made with the Oscar-winner actor, director, voice actor and pilot Morgan Freeman, M. Ilker Ayci, Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines, said, "We not only fly to more countries than any other airline in the world, but also invest in passenger experience at every destination we reach. In line with our global growth strategy, we will continue at full speed to launch new flight destinations. We are committed to innovation and we always aim for the best. We are more than satisfied by the feedback on and outcomes of our celebrity ad campaigns with world-famous figures so far. Our new ad campaign with Morgan Freeman has already been a smash hit. We value our deal with Freeman for his contribution to our global image and brand awareness." 

Morgan Freeman said, "As a licensed pilot, I have had a special interest in flying, and I know Turkish Airlines is consistently awarded for its unique offerings and innovative services that continue to score resounding successes. Besides it has amazingly delicious on-board and lounge catering. It's an honor to work with such a prestigious airline that flies to more countries than any other airline in the world."

Turkish Airlines had also sponsored "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", one of last year's most popular movies, and broadcasted its commercial video starring world famous figures like Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg as part of the sponsorship deal, on Super Bowl for the first time. "Kobe vs. Messi: The Selfie Shootout", the flag-carrier's another commercial deal with Lionel Messi and Kobe Bryant, was also selected the best commercial film of the last decade by YouTube.

The ad campaign with Morgan Freeman will be broadcast in every destination Turkish Airlines fly to worldwide. You can follow the campaign on our YouTube channel link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_gv6fRejLM

TOKYO, Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsukoshi Nihombashi Main Store of the Isetan Mitsukoshi Group will launch contemporary art exhibition "KOGEI Future Forward" on February 15, showcasing 15 Japanese artists' 30 contemporary art works.

"Kogei" is a Japanese word that was created at the dawn of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) to correspond to the English word "craft." Across the Meiji, Taisho, Showa and Heisei years, the artistry of kogei craft was refined as it underwent various changes. Today, kogei is highly regarded as fine art. This exhibition understands kogei in a free way, and spotlights 15 Japanese artists presenting works as contemporary art. The exhibition shows kogei to the world as a uniquely Japanese fine art.

The Isetan Mitsukoshi Group, the largest department store group in Japan, rediscovers values created by Japanese tradition, culture and aesthetic consciousness and offer them to its customers as new values. Mitsukoshi Nihombashi Main Store, Japan's first department store (founded in 1673), strives to be more than a simple store, but a cultural resort for all our customers to enjoy.

TAKURO KUWATA
Takuro Kuwata's appeal lies in his broad expression that straddles both craft and contemporary art. Bold forms and bright pop colors give rise to contemporary textures and rhythms. The exhibition works use "kairagi," an effect produced when glazing cracks upon firing. Kuwata has used this kairagi effect with own interpretation, much as he employs "ishihaze," which appears on the surface when stones mixed in the clay explode through firing, and "hizumi," referring to distortions in the vessel, treating them as contemporary expressions.

This event will be conducted as a trial research project for the governmental "Basic Policy for Promoting Measures related to Preparations for and Management of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2020."

The Record-Shattering Single Is Steadily Climbing Charts Around The World, Breaking With Molds And Language Barriers Along The Way

"DESPACITO" Bows At #3 On Spotify's Global Chart, Making It The First Spanish Song To Ever Reach Such A High Position On The Coveted Chart

This Hit Single Also Sits Comfortably At The Top Of Spotify And Apple's Charts In 17 Spanish Speaking Countries While Entering The Top 10 Position Around The World Including Italy, Portugal, Switzerland And Romania

Meanwhile The Music Video Becomes A Viral Smash And Remains At #1 On YouTube's Global Chart For A Second Consecutive Week While Breaking Yet Another Vevo Record By Becoming The Fastest Spanish Video To Reach 200 Million Views In 22 Days (The 3rd Fastest Video To Reach This Milestone In Youtube's History After Psy "Gentleman" And Adele "Hello")

Fans, Athletes And Celebrities Take To Social Media To Create Their Renditions Of This Viral Sensation; Among Them Lionel Messi, Dani Alves And Cristian De La Fuente Among Many Others

MIAMI, Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- "DESPACITO," the latest single and video from award-winning superstars Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee has indeed become a global smash hit three weeks since its release.

The infectious tune, produced by Andres Torres and Mauricio Rengifo and written by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee in collaboration with Erika Ender, has traveled well beyond their native Puerto Rico in record speed, shattering global records and dominating the charts worldwide.

Most recently "DESPACITO" reached # 1 on Billboard's "Hot Latin Songs" and "Latin Digital Song" in the U.S. this week.

The single has also reached the #3 position on Spotify's Global Chart, the highest position ever achieved by a Spanish single in history. "DESPACITO" also sits atop iTunes Latino's "Top Songs" chart for the third consecutive week and #1 on Spotify across Latin America in 17 countries while beginning to peak in the "Top 10" charts in countries such as Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, and Romania, among others.

The music phenomenon has spread throughout the world breaking yet another Vevo record by becoming the fastest Spanish single (and 3^rd fastest single in history after Psy "Gentleman" and Adele "Hello") to reach over 200 million views in 22 days. It's easy to see why this addictive video, directed by Elastic People's Carlos Perez, has become so popular: great music performed by two of the biggest stars in the Latin music business, beautiful scenery and an ex Miss Universe, the gorgeous model Zuleyka Rivera

The craze has also taken a new life on social media where celebrities, athletes, and people all over the globe continue to make their renditions of the song including soccer stars Lionel Messi and Dani Alves.

Just last week, Universal Music Latin Entertainment awarded both artists with two RIAA plaques and multiple awards in commemoration of their record-breaking single which contrary to the name of the song is rapidly shifting pop-culture and breaking all cultural borders.
