See these majestic bottlenose dolphins brilliantly caught on video near the Farne Islands. The spectacular sight off the coast of Northumberland brought delight to a lucky boat tour. Bottlenose dolphins are regulars in the North Sea, but it is still a thrill to see them up close. Andrew Douglas, who runs Serenity Farne Islands Boat Tours, shared the clip on social media. A pod of about 25 started swimming alongside his vessel, the Serenity II, and the camera was quickly switched on. Take a look above. You can hear the excitement on the boat as the animals leap out of the water right next to them. Andrew said: “We got the impression they had a belly full of food and wanted to play. “Most of the time they come to us if they spot the boats. The kids absolutely love it. “It always gives you that wow factor, I think it’s because of the way they interact with the boat.” Andrew, whose company operates tours from Seahouses, has been working at the Farnes for 15 … [Read more...] about Brilliant video shows bottlenose dolphins swimming up close

Death threat for sheriff who convicted man for posting video of Nazi salute dog
The sheriff who convicted a Coatbridge man who filmed his girlfriend's pet dog giving a Nazi salute and posted it online has been subjected to a sickening death threat. Sheriff Derek O'Carroll, who regularly presides over cases at Airdrie Sheriff Court, is said to be "shocked and alarmed" by the chilling warning. He convicted Mark Meechan, 30, of a hate crime for recording pug Buddha responding to statements such as "gas the Jews" and "Sieg Heil" by raising its paw during the footage called "M8 Yur Dug's a Nazi". The troubling clip - uploaded in April 2016 - received millions of views and following complaints about the content, police were called in and Meechan was arrested.

British holidaymakers to lose access to UK versions of Netflix and Amazon Video after Brexit
British holidaymakers will be cut off from access to UK versions of streaming services including Netflix and Amazon Video after Brexit, the European Commission has said.

Walmart Beat Netflix and Amazon to Video on Demand But Still Lost
Walmart Inc. has a vast arsenal at its disposal in its battle with Amazon.com Inc.: stores, trucks, warehouses, even a blockchain-enabled supply chain of fruits and vegetables.But there’s one weapon it’s barely deployed: Vudu, the video-on-demand service it bought eight years ago. Back then, Netflix was available only in the U.S. and Canada, Amazon was still a year away from offering free videos for its Prime members and Apple had just released its first iPad. With a library of 5,000 films from all the big studios available at the press of a button, Vudu promised to “revolutionize” the home-movie experience when it debuted in 2007.It hasn’t worked out that way. As its competitors flourished, Vudu languished. Even though it’s pre-loaded in or can be downloaded to hundreds of millions of smart TVs, Blu-ray devices and video-game consoles -- thanks to Walmart’s enormous clout with electronics makers such as Sony and Samsung -- users spend just 1.9 … [Read more...] about Walmart Beat Netflix and Amazon to Video on Demand But Still Lost
Nearly 750 hours of video and 2,000 calls to 911 in Vegas shooting. Almost all of it remains unseen and unheard
"There was no attempt to smuggle his assault weapons, because it wasn't necessary. He was open and obvious," Eiland said in an email. "He knew that Mandalay Bay wasn't looking, therefore, they wouldn't find his 21 assault rifles or ammunition. No security system, no detection, no training. There are red flags throughout the video." … [Read more...] about Nearly 750 hours of video and 2,000 calls to 911 in Vegas shooting. Almost all of it remains unseen and unheard
