Fortnite: trailer and image of the Uncharted characters, in game and film version
Epic Games has announced that from February 17, 2022 we will be able to play as Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer, protagonists of Unchartedinside Fortnite. We will be able to check the game version and the movie version of the two characters, as you can see from the trailer above and from the image below.
Epic Games had already suggested the arrival of the Uncharted characters in Fortnite with a treasure hunt on the site. For the moment the trailer confirms only the themed costumes Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer, but it is highly likely that there are also a series of accessories, and maybe even weapons, themed with the Naughty Dog game.
Uncharted in Fortnite
It will be possible to purchase these items in the Fortnite store starting from February 17, 2022, that is the day of the release in Italy of the Uncharted film. The package, while also offering the videogame version of the characters, is in fact designed first of all to advertise the arrival of the film all over the world.
Tell us, what do you think of the two Uncharted characters? Have they been recreated in the best way, or do you think that Fortnite's graphic style doesn't fit well with the realistic look of Naughty Dog's games?
Uncharted is in a golden moment: in addition to this collaboration and the film, the "Uncharted Collection The Legacy of Thieves" collection, which is among the best-selling games in Italy at the end of January 2022, is also available on PS5.

Dave Zien Hunts Deer at Night with his Motorcycle | Hupy and Abraham, S.C.
ABATE of Wisconsin celebrated its 35th Anniversary on October 10, 2009, in Wisconsin Rapids. As founder of ABATE of Wisconsin, I presented a slide show on ABATE's history. Former state senator Dave Zien has been a friend of mine for 35 years and was a part of my presentation.
Hupy and Abraham sponsored Zien during the final leg of his million mile adventure on his 1991 FXRT on April 4, 2009 and also sponsored the "Landing Party" at Hal's Harley-Davidson at the culmination of his million mile journey. Two days later, Harley-Davidson Motor Company presented Zien with the keys to a 2009 Road Glide, which as of October 16th, has nearly 75,000 on the odometer.
We waited for Zien to arrive in Wisconsin Rapids on Friday evening, October 9th, as he led musician and movie producer Mike Jones to the event. Jones phoned me to tell me Zien had just hit a deer. "Suddenly, there was a flash of white fur, a blur and then it looked like the Macy's New Year's Day Parade, complete with confetti storm, " Jones said.
Dave Zien had hit a deer at 60 mph and his briefcase, over stuffed with papers, exploded into a blizzard of documents covering the entire two lanes of highway. Jones pulled over expecting the worst, but it appeared Dave only suffered a contusion to his lower leg. The deer didn't do as well. Just then, a local cop pulled up with red and blue strobe lights piercing the cold night air. Zien was already field dressing the deer when the cop asked, "What's going on here?" Jones, dazed and confused, answered, "I don't know, I'm a vegetarian."

Home Celebrities Who is Cody Lundin, Is He Married? Who is His Wife, Family?
Who is Cody Lundin, Is He Married? Who is His Wife, Family?
Are you planning to go spend some time in the wild; survive and come back to civilization alive? Cody Lundin is your go-to person for the best wilderness survival, primitive living skills training, urban preparedness, and homesteading. Living in the wild, far away from the convenience of modernity is what we have known him for all these years. But before his fame, Cody probably had a life which most people are ignorant of. Let's find out more about that life here and how he grew to become who we know him for today.
Who is Cody Lundin?
On March 15, 1967, Cody Lundin was born in Prescott Arizona, the USA into a white American family whose head was a military man. He was the only child of his parents and due to his father's job, they frequently moved around before finally settling in Laramie, Wyoming where he finished both his junior and senior high school studies.
For college, Cody Lundin enrolled at Prescott College, during this time, he lived in a brush shelter and some reports have it that he equally lived off the backyards of his friends' houses, on the streets and in a commune partly while he was in high school. This possibly suggests that his penchant for living in unconventional places has been a thing for him from yonks. In the course of time, however, Cody graduated from Prescott College with a bachelors of Arts degree in Depth Psychology and Holistic Health.
The wilderness survival expert probably began his career right after graduating from college. His was a case of making a living from what was otherwise his daily style of living. Cody Lundin in the year 1991 established the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott, Arizona where he gives lessons on Survival skills, primitive living skills, modern wilderness survival skills, urban preparedness and homesteading to aspiring wilderness adventurers.
Cody Lundin shares survival tips to a group of young students in the Smith Student Center Ballroom
The pursuit of his career has seen him write two books "When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes" and "98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive" (2003). The books are simply what their name says and being that their author is a versed self-taught and natural wilderness survival expert, you are guaranteed to get your money's worth with the books.
Many years later, he became the host of Discovery Channel's Lost in 2004 and Dual Survival in 2010 through 2014. People have often wondered why he left the Dual Survival show much to the surprise of many, Cody Lundin revealed through a Facebook post he made that he got fired due to his different opinion of safety measures with management.
This occurrence did not slow down or stop Cody's choice of career, rather he opted to focus more on his wilderness training classes and so far has been doing well for himself. Reports have it that he is an adjunct faculty member of Yavapai College and Ecosa Institute. In the latter, he teaches survival and sustainability with a curriculum he developed himself.
Family – Is He Married? Who is His Wife?
For a man like Cody Lundin who has done and is still doing what many men can't dare to do, he is sure the dream of many women and many will be dreaming of having him all to themselves. But contrary to what you might have assumed, the survival expert does not have any woman in his life, at least none that he has intimated us on.

In the many years we have known the Arizona born survival expert, he has not revealed who his love interest is, if he does have one and if he has plans of settling down to raise a family. At best, we can only assume that he might be shielding that aspect of his life from the public.
The question of his sexuality is off for now as he has not given us any inkling to suspect that he might probably have a penchant for his fellow men. Nevertheless, should Cody decide to make revelations about having a family (marrying a wife) we are sure to let you know.
Cody Lundin stands at a height of 6 feet 2 inches.
He weighs about 87 kg.
In terms of finance, the survival expert reportedly has a net worth of $1.5 million.
He once accused his Discovery Channel's Dual Survival co-host Joe Teti of threatening to kill him.
In his home in Arizona, Cody lives in a self-sufficient house where he doesn't have to pay for utilities.
He is the only one licensed in Arizona to catch fish with his bare hands.

a polaroid business history
by Laura Clempson January 13, 2016
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a hundred or so polaroid prints of my Instagram photos. We're going to make a Clara and Macy photo timeline in the studio. A little reminder of just how far we've come as a business in the last three years.
It was so fun to go back through the photos and be reminded of all the milestones over the past three years. From the first set of shelves in the dining room, then expanding into the cellar, the walls of boxes, postal collections, winning our Zanzibar trip, reaching order milestones, moving into the studio.
It's all there in tiny little squares on Instagram.
And soon it's going to be right there on the walls of the studio. An ongoing trail around the walls. I can't wait to show you.
And to see what 2016 adds to it...

Be The Change panellists discuss the implications of Brexit
Students and staff at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) discussed the implications of Brexit at the latest Be The Change panel event held on campus yesterday.
The event was organised following a lively Q&A last week with Keir Starmer, Labour MP and Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, where dozens of DMU students discussed many of the vital issues arising from Brexit.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Dominic Shellard chaired the Be The Change panel, which also included six students and four members of DMU staff.
The discussion, which was held in the Leicester Castle Business School, covered Brexit-related topics ranging from the Customs Union to the Northern Ireland border.
The first issue to be discussed was possibly the most significant and it split the panel in half, with disagreement about whether a second Brexit referendum should be held.
Travis Yearwood, a fourth-year International Relations student, said that a second referendum would disregard the views of over half of the country and could enter 'murky waters'. Bertha Ochieng, Professor of Integrated Health and Social Care at DMU, agreed that a second referendum would be a mistake.
However Kaushika Patel, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, suggested that due to the limited amount of information that was provided by the Leave Campaign, a second referendum might be the right thing to do now that the public can see how much of a challenge Brexit is likely to be.
Laura Toher-Hindle, a third-year Law and Criminal Justice LLB student, said: "I was upset about the result when it came in but I'm against a second referendum because we need to stay true to our democratic process. There will always be people against the result of a referendum so when do we stop?"
First-year Economics and Politics student Daniel Bewley proposed that a more informed second referendum could be held, but this time with a two-thirds majority required to overturn Brexit.
The discussion then moved on to consider the impact of Brexit on migration before Professor Alasdair Blair, Associate Dean Academic Business and Law, explained the Parliamentary process that will lead to leaving the European Union.
An audience member posed the question of whether both of the UK's major political parties should work together to get the best possible deal from Brexit.
Whilst some members of the audience argued that both parties were too split internally and had policies that were too different to make it work, others believed that it would be in the best interests of the country for the Conservatives and Labour to work together on a Brexit deal.
When Professor Shellard asked the panel what kind of Britain we are likely to see after leaving the European Union on 29 March 2019 there was agreement that uncertainty was likely to reign.
Third-year Media and Communication student Will Measures said: "It's very much an unknown right now. The worrying thing for me is that the UK seems to have a lack of control about the Brexit deal."
Shayoni Basu, who studies Law, said: "We will have to get over it, deal with the hand we were dealt and move forward positively."
The discussion finished on a positive note as Professor Shellard asked each panel member to give a practical suggestion about how to make the country more at ease after Brexit.
Daniel Bewley joked that only England winning the World Cup could unite the country, but Aneesha Latkan, a second-year Law student, said we need to focus on unity rather than division.
'No landslide for Tories' say Be The Change panellists
DMU visits Poland to show Article 50 will not 'close international doors'
EU students say yes to DMU as applications rise by nearly a third
Following the event, Travis Yearwood said: "This Be The Change event was important for me because it's a moment where we can step forward into a much better dialogue.
"People from both sides of the political spectrum were talking openly and it was a nice calm and honest discussion, and that's what's needed if we're going to make a success of Brexit."
Laura Toher-Hindle said: "It's been fantastic to be involved in this Be The Change event, I think it's really important that students are given the opportunity to be involved in events like this about topical issues in our society.
"There was a lot of talk about misinformation and how people have not been informed about Brexit, so DMU offering opportunities like this where we can get involved, have our voices heard and tell the world what we think is fantastic. I feel very privileged to be part of an institution with such an innovative approach."

It's sabotage
When I woke up this morning I caught Bush's weekly radio address where he lauded us for helping the Iraqis. Of course, some Iraqis are none too happy with this.
Pipeline 'sabotage'
But even as Bremer spoke from Baghdad on Thursday, the Iraq-Turkey oil pipeline suffered two explosions that will hinder the country's export capacity, according to the US-appointed Iraqi Oil Minister Thamir Ghadhban.
"There is an incident in the pipeline somewhere near Baiji refinery. We are now assessing and evaluating the damage. I don't know exactly how it happened, and why it happened, but we will do our best to fix it.
"It will affect export capability. It is a pipeline and any incident in a pipeline would affect exports, but it can be repaired," Ghadhban told Reuters in an interview.
In Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said the pipeline had been sabotaged and an investigation was under way. But US Army spokesman Capt. John Morgan said the explosions appeared similar to previous accidents, and dismissed reports of deliberate bombing. The pipeline was still burning on Monday, reports said.
LPG plant damage
Bremer is well aware of acts of sabotage from Iraqi diehards that have hindered US efforts to restore the country's oil exports. He told Congressmen of destruction to Basra's South Gas LPG plant (SGLPG), which he visited last Wednesday. "It was a pure act of political sabotage, almost certainly, by elements of Baathists who want to show that the coalition is unable to run this country," Bremer said, adding, "we still face this kind of activity, and we need to defeat it."
SGLPG, which produces about 50% of Iraq's LPG, is not operational because of sabotage to equipment and a lack of adequate electricity. According to Jabbar Al Eaby, the facility's director, it was professionals who carried out the sabotage since they knew "exactly" how to most severely damage the plant's equipment.
Although enough electricity should be in place by Friday, the parts to repair the plant's damaged equipment will not be available until later. Al Eaby, who escorted Bremer through the SPLPG Wednesday, could not even estimate when the facility would be back online.
Thieves and Saboteurs Disrupt Electrical Services in Iraq
By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
BAGHDAD, Iraq, June 20 — The electricity system of Iraq, already damaged by the war, is now being torn apart by systematic looting and possibly by sabotage.
Not far from the Bayji power plant in northern Iraq, high-tension cables that run to Baghdad now either hang like spaghetti or have disappeared altogether.
Near the southern city of Basra, dozens of the biggest electric towers have been toppled in the past few weeks and now look like giraffes with their necks broken.
In the city of Falluja, about 30 miles west of Baghdad, unidentified attackers fired a rocket-propelled grenade on Thursday night that blew up a transformer serving half the city.
With daytime summer temperatures already climbing past 110 degrees and still rising, the attacks have become a major worry for the American-led occupation authorities.
Daily power cutoffs are getting worse in many areas. Electricity failures have disrupted water supplies and led to huge backups of sewage because neither water nor sewage can be properly pumped.
The Iraqi resistance is clearly more than pissed-off Baathist looking for the great man's return. The Shia intend for that not to happen.
Everytime I hear Paul Bremer say that these are just "criminal gangs" or "small pockets of resistance" I get the feeling I'm listening to the Gaulieter of Ukraine or Central Yugoslavia. Does Bremer know he sounds like a Nazi official flailing around, talking about bandit gangs? It's sad and amazing.
The methods of the US Army are woefully inadequate to deal with even this nominal amount of resistance. US troops are deployed in small detachments, isolated from the people, who are undecided on what to do. The clerics are calling for American blood and ranting about Jews buying land. The 50 or so Jews left in what was once one of the Middle East's most thriving Jewish communities, are not buying any land. They don't exist, except as the new Iraqi boogie man.
But the anti-semitic rantings reflect the real fear of the Iraqis, which is that they are going to lose their identity in a colonial takeover of their land. The sabotage of oil and gas facilities is no accident. The Iraqis, regardless of their politics, are talking with nearly one voice in that they want to run their country.
Do you really think bands of guerrillas could survive if their main goal was to restore Saddam? Even with the post-war revisionist talk, it is clear that Saddam was not a popular ruler in any sense of the word. He sucked the life out of Iraq.
I think it gives the Bush Administration far too much credit to say their ineptitude is purposeful. I think these are people who simply think they are chosen to lead this country and anyone who objects has venal motives. So they just don't listen.
The Iraqi resistance is growing. Our anti-partisan sweeps only create more partisans. The locals aren't helping and even at this early stage, anyone looking to get too close to the Americans can expect a visit from the guerrillas. We're not just running into organized resistance, but widespread tacit support from the populace. Not cooperation, but the silent head turning and nodding which leaves US forces mystified. They aren't helping , yet, but they sure are watching and keeping silent.
As long as the US insists on running Iraq, Americans will die.

guest speaker used the phrase "love God and love people." At the time, Jonathan did not realize how much those words stuck with him but it was evident by his uncanny ability to carry on a conversation with anyone from any walk of life. He attributes that to loving God and loving those around him, and meeting those people where they are.
On July 26, 2014, Jonathan married the love of his life, the former Allison Ransom. Allison is a graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in Architecture and is a licensed Architect. The two reside in Nashville, Tn. with their cat named Shrimp and dog named Brody.
Jonathan began started college at the University of New Orleans while living at home with his parents and commuting to class. Like many, living at home was not a good fit for he or his parents and he decided to transfer to Louisiana Tech. As a Computer Information Systems student, he knew he needed to get real world experience in Information Technology and started working for a retail company in Ruston, La. as a junior and worked there until graduation. Following graduation in May 2006, he began working for an IT consulting company in Ruston, La. called Business Technology Group before becoming the IT Manager at Rogers Manufacturing Corporation in West Monroe, La. In order to broaden his experience in IT, Jonathan started working at Northern Louisiana Medical Center in Ruston, La. in their IT department. In May of 2017 Jonathan and his wife made the move to Nashville, Tn. and he became an IT Director for Concept Technology, Inc. where he leads IT strategy for organizations across Middle Tennessee.
wore bags on their heads out of shame. During college at Louisiana Tech, he was a vocal supporter of the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. In 2008, a friend of his, Jason Jones, approached him about starting a Louisiana Tech sports website focusing on football recruiting. Jonathan developed the brand name BleedTechBlue and BleedTechBlue.com was born alongside BleedTechBlue Radio, a live weekly radio show and podcast. Through this experience, a passion for communicating with people from written word to spoken word has developed and Jonathan has amassed a large following on social media, bringing another medium for communication. As of February 1, 2017 Jonathan was no longer publisher of BleedTechBlue. It became evident he had been putting his identity in what BleedTechBlue had become and not placing is identity in Jesus Christ. Handing it over to a friend, Ben Carlisle, was what he needed to do. Focusing on allowing God to lead him and truly giving Him control of his life and being intentional in spending time with his wife.


Frustration overtook Senate Republicans on Tuesday as the reality sunk in that they had failed again in fulfilling a seven-year campaign promise to repeal and replace the 2010 health care law.
They decried the time constraints of the budget reconciliation procedure they chose to advance legislation with only Republican support.
They criticized the carve-outs for states whose senators were skeptical of the proposal, a strategy that resulted in near-daily updates to the already complex legislation.
Sponsors of the most recent repeal bill vowed to continue working on it, but several lawmakers were showing fatigue, and major questions remain about its future.
Some members of the GOP leadership pivoted to different issues, even as others called for talks to resume on a bipartisan patch to help stabilize the individual insurance markets.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday that the chamber would move on to an overhaul of the U.S. tax code instead of holding a vote on the measure — from Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Dean Heller of Nevada — to redo the U.S. health insurance system.
"Where we go from here is now tax reform," McConnell told reporters after the weekly GOP policy lunch.
The Kentucky Republican said the Senate Budget Committee would hold a mark-up of the fiscal 2018 budget resolution next week, the first step in the budget reconciliation process — the same one used for the failed health care attempt — that will allow Republicans to try to advance a tax bill with only a simple majority of support.
If this process has proven anything, it's that the GOP is not ready to abandon its effort to repeal former President Barack Obama's signature domestic achievement, despite several devastating failures this year.
"We haven't given up on changing the American health care system," McConnell said.
Some members appeared to be on board.
"I think it's the best approach I've seen in a long, long time," Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota said.
Others were willing to scrap that proposal entirely.
Kennedy had harsh words for the process McConnell used to try to shore up support for the legislation, and called for all 52 Republican members to hold nightly meetings to discuss various ideas.
While he said he was on board with the bill last week, Kennedy blasted the large number of revisions that have taken place and criticized the carve-outs included in the most recent iteration for states such as Alaska and Maine.
Others chose to harp on the limited time frame the chamber had to analyze the most recent proposal, which would have dramatically reshaped the U.S. health care system by turning all the current federal funding for the health care law into a massive block grant for the states.
Attention appears to have shifted back to a bipartisan health care effort spearheaded by Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on that panel.
But coming to a bipartisan agreement will not get any easier in the wake of the latest unsuccessful repeal attempt.
There are some pressing health care deadlines Congress needs to address immediately, including extending funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program and community health centers.
Both programs expire at the end of September.

Her nominated album, "Diamond Cut," is a smooth and striking collection that has brought the skilled performer, who once played with Ray Charles during her college years and toured with Beyoncé, to the next level. The album, her fifth, was produced by another woman making critical waves in jazz, Terri Lyne Carrington. The drummer, who came to national prominence decades ago in "The Arsenio Hall Show" band, became the first female to win best jazz instrumental album at the 2014 Grammys.
"Diamond Cut" is Fuller's first album in six years. She's been busy as a professor at Berklee College of Music since 2013, and that decision to move to Boston to fulfill a lifetime dream came at a crossroads: In the same 24-hour period that Fuller was offered the teaching position, Beyoncé asked Fuller to perform again with the band.
"That was the year I think they were doing the Super Bowl and she was going back out on tour," recalled Fuller, who performed with Beyoncé from 2006 to 2010.
The 42-year-old, who was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado, has followed in the footsteps of her parents, who are also musicians and educators. Fuller first started playing the piano at 3, then moved on to the flute. But once her grandfather handed her a saxophone, she was hooked.


I get these pesky reminders all day. I don't want to use NRT to kill the app. I saw post about an opt-out option on screen. I do not see any opt-out option. If you have disabled backups, that should kill the reminders but it does not. I use Acronis to backup my PC's.
Re: How do I stop Backup reminders? I don't want to use NRT. I disabled backups in settings.
If you want to disable the Backup alerts from Norton Online Backup, you can do it in Settings.
1. Sign in to Norton Online Backup website.
2. Next to the computer icon that you want to disable the alerts for, click Settings.
3. On the "Other" tab, next to "Alerts", uncheck the checkbox to disable the alerts.
How do I stop the backup reminders WITHOUT disabling the backups completely? I have set it up to back up to a USB drive yet because I do not want the on-line backup it STILL keeps telling me I have not set it up and backed up my files.
I ONLY want to backup to hardware/devices of my own. There is no freaking way I am going to backup to something floating around out there that I don't have the least bit of control over.
Never mind. I can't find a way to delete my post so just disregard it.
Something else I installed (codecs) wants me to use there backup service. I was misled into thinking it was a Norton backup because there was somekind of Norton logo on the setup screen.
I uninstalled that backup service - which took the codecs with it - and those annoying reminders went away.

Drop the chalupa and listen up, Taco Bell — Charlie Daniels has a message for you. Namely, that it's a mistake to take the Illuminati lightly.
"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" musician and noted conservative Daniels took some time out of his evening on Monday to issue a grave warning to the fast-food chain.
"Hey Taco Bell The Illuminati is not a frivolous subject," Daniels cautioned.
While Daniels failed to elaborate on his warning — perhaps out of concern for saying too much — the musician was presumably referring to Taco Bell's recent "Belluminati" campaign, which employs conspiracy-themed language and imagery to reveal the "powerful connection between the dollar and Taco Bell" — namely, a line of menu items available for $1 each.
"Charlie how do you know Taco Bell isn't a part of the Illuminati, making commercials mocking it to throw you off from the fact that they are a part of it? Explain THAT to me," asked one observer.
"Wait until you see the Bilderberg ad from Arby's," another commenter warned the musician.
"And the Bohemian Grove ad from Hardee's," chimed in another.
"Deals with the devil are not a frivolous subject," cautioned another commenter, referencing Daniels' trademark song.
"Welcome to Taco Bell, Mr. Daniels, can I take your NEW WORLD ORDER?" wrote another wag.
And then there were numerous references to the mythical (or is it?) creature, the chalupa-cabra.
Whether one subscribes to the musician's beliefs on the fast food chain or not, one thing's for certain — Daniels is certainly capable of filling bellies with laughter.
Read below for Daniels' tweet and the responses.

The Tomb in Turkey
by Simon Brett
Carole and Jude's Turkish holiday takes a murderous turn in the new Fethering mystery
Carole Seddon has never enjoyed holidays much. Nevertheless, she has allowed herself to be persuaded by her friend Jude to accept a fortnight's free accommodation at a luxurious Turkish villa owned by Jude's property developer friend Barney Willingdon. But from the outset the holiday is marred by a series of menacing incidents: threatening messages daubed on the villa walls; and their host being accosted by a knife-wielding man at a local restaurant.
As Carole and Jude launch into what they do best – investigating – it becomes clear that Barney Willingdon has made plenty of enemies, with his ruthless business deals and complicated love life. Matters come to a head when Carole's sightseeing trip to nearby Pinara is curtailed by the discovery of a body in one of the ancient Lycian tombs. And what really did happen to Barney's first wife, Zoe?
Genre: Crime & Mystery
"A nicely creepy mystery made even creepier by the setting, laced with the comedy of the two mismatched friends and Brett's acerbic wit"
"Vacationing in Turkey, amateur sleuths Carole Seddon and Jude Nichol bring their unique combination of lightweight Fethering conflicts and murder most foul"

Home / china copyright. / NCAC / right of dissemination via information networks / safe harbor / The CNY 260 million fine on QVOD is final!
On 26th June 2014, after investigations, the MSA decided that administrative punishment was necessary. It ordered QVOD to stop the infringements immediately and to pay a fine of CNY 260.148 million (equivalent to three times QVOD's illegal turnover).
With regard to the illegal turnover, the Shenzhen Provision states that: 'The value of infringing products sold shall be calculated at the actual sales price… If no price is marked on the infringing products or the actual sales price cannot be ascertained, the said value shall be calculated at the mean market price of the product under infringement (emphasis added)'. As neither the illegal profit nor the actual sales price of the videos on QVOD could be determined, the MSA made its calculation based on the mean market price of the works' licensing fees, i.e. CNY 86.716 million. And between one to five times of fines, the MSA took multiple factors into consideration, including QVOD's degree of subjective fault, the specific circumstances and the consequences of the infringements. It eventually determined the fine should be three times the illegal earnings that QVOD made using material of Tencent.
This landmark case clearly shows the powerful effect of China's IPR enforcement and acts as a strong deterrent against infringers. However, it also brings to light a variety of concerns.
Second, when compared to judicature, administrative enforcement lacks independence. The QVOD case was handled in Shenzhen, where IPR had been actively and effectively protected by the local government. Despite the merits the administrative enforcement may have, its congenital deficiency cannot be fundamentally changed. In this regard, preventing administrative power from excessive expansion seems to be an equally important task. Furthermore, considering that staff expertise may differ, for instance from region to region, this Kat does hope the deterrent that this case provides could be applied with care in the future.

We have just wrapped up one of the biggest sporting events known to humankind. The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. A little over 16.5 million people watched basketball games over 4 weeks. To me, that is extraordinary! Now, some of those people were watching because their favorite team was playing, some because their favorite player was on the court, some so they could see the "under dog" topple the #1 Seed, and some were watching for the money! They had wagered big (or even little money) on a chance for more earnings. But no matter why they watched it, a bigger concern was people had a shared interest in a champion! Really, it didn't matter who that champion would be, but rather a champion that would shine forth.
Sure, many of us "secretly" came out of our Catholic closet and dawned our Sister Jean "mind-set" and prayed fervently for what we hoped would be the dawning of a new day in college basketball. But it didn't happen. But it also didn't dispel the constant attention, media coverage, bobble head doll sales that surrounded Sister Jean and the Loyola Ramblers. For many, they still are #1.
If I went around and asked the fervent basketball fans in the room, "how did you feel after Monday night, or even Saturday afternoon?" My guess is (if you are sports fan) your attention turned toward the Azalea's that are blooming behind a thick white stone fence in Eastern Georgia, in a place known as Augusta and The Masters. My guess is that you launched right into the next big sporting event that would produce a champion. Maybe some of our more patient fanatics hunkered down on Thursday afternoon, or slipped home from the office to watch that first pitch on "Opening Day" of baseball season. Patiently waiting until next Fall for our champion to be crowned. But my guess is, you went looking for another champion of sorts.
In church lingo, this is "Low Sunday." Not for the reason that many think, that the Sunday after Easter is a low attendance Sunday. Even though that might be true to some extent. The real reason is that in the week of Easter celebration, with Easter being the first Sunday, this is the Sunday that brings up the end or "low" part of the week. Hence putting a closing segment to what was a powerful and majestic week! We still find ourselves gathered here, singing, proclaiming the risen Savior and offering fellowship in the name of Jesus Christ.
One must think, what a traumatic experience the disciples felt from Maundy Thursday through Easter morning and the days that followed! Belief, dis-belief, awe, uncertainty, fear, devastation, and the list could go on and on. But what we have here in letter of 1 John is a stark reminder that through trauma, and the "un-imaginable" there is still a wonderful Word from God. We, as disciples come seeking that Word this week because we have been through a traumatic experience. The disciples gathered because they had witnessed a traumatic experience and needed to be reminded that "God is light and in him is no darkness at all!" Much like those who cheer for a "would be" champion that never makes it to the place they think they should.
My colleague and New Testament T.A., Dr. Clifton Black, sums up the theology of this text like this; "Christ is made present to a generation of Christians who no longer can see or hear him, except by the eyes and ears of faith." How true is that! That is the reason we need to hear these stories and be reminded that there is a God that is greater than our mistakes, even though we make those mistakes each and everyday and in so many ways; some we realize and some we don't!
The emphatic notion of being reminded of what people have seen, heard, and touched is central to our existence as Christians and as a human species. Just think, how many of you knew about the Loyola Ramblers before this year and the dawning of Sister Jean? Probably not many of us! But the gift we received, as well as the other 16.2 million people who watched the tournament received, is the gift that we saw this, witnessed it, and can tell another generation about it! This kind of winning streak may never happen again in the lifetimes of many of us, but we can share that with those that come into our lives in the future.
Coming back to the Ramblers of Loyola for a moment. They made it to where they made it because they played as a team. In a way, the message in 1 John is a message about being reminded whose team we are on, what we have to do as a team player, and finally, what makes us champions. You see the history of the Loyola Ramblers is a message steeped within the Gospel. It's not a typical message of a champions team. But they heard and practiced the Gospel for a long time. For you see, in 1961 George Ireland, coach of the Ramblers ushered in what many call "one of the great movements of race relations." In 1961 there was a "gentlemen's agreement" that no team would play more than 3 black players at a time. In George's second game, he played 4. In 1962 he played 4 in every game, then in 1963 they became the first Division 1 NCAA school to play an "all black lineup." Then the show stopper or the epitome of the Gospel was in 1963 when they defeated the all segregated Mississippi State University by a score of 61-51 even after Mississippi State defied a State Court Order for them not to play a school with black players.
I believe the Gospel has been alive in that school for a very long time! For you see, they are a lot like 1 John, they have seen, they have touched, and they have conquered what others said they could not do. Sure, not without sin, not without reproach, but with a quiet, stealth like mode that brought them over time to a championship status that did not need a huge trophy!
My friends, we as 21st Century Christians have a lot to cling onto. We have seen, touched, and heard a lot of things that counter our Gospel way of living. We have to acknowledge we are human, that we sin, that we have been given God's grace by God not by some "work" we have done. We have a stellar history my friends! Not only here at St. Timothy's, but in the United Methodist Church in general. We have been gifted to be a part of a larger team in our lives. God has invited us into fellowship. A friend of mine says, "God does not invite just me, or you, but God invites all into community with God and with one another." We cannot do it alone, for if we try we will walk in darkness, but when we walk together with God the promise that "in God there is no darkness at all" reigns true!
So, on this "Low Sunday" let us bask in the grace of fellowship. Let us remember those who have done this before us and left a legacy of faith in which we can be proud. Let us bask in the presence of Christ and that he is, was and will be present with us forever and ever!

(WBAL News) The FBI has informed Maryland officials that the state's voter registration system and other online systems operate on a software platform owned by a Russian-financed firm, state officials told the 11 News I-Team Friday afternoon. There is no indication of a breach.
There is no evidence there has been any breach or fraud in voter registration or voting, election officials said.
At a news conference Friday afternoon, House Speaker Michael Busch and Senate President Mike Miller stressed there is no evidence of voting problems, but they are concerned about the Russian connection to sensitive systems.


It's the depressed 'burb's of Detroit and 14-year-old Elijah Solinski (Myles Truitt) has been suspended from school for fighting. His hard-working and serious adoptive father, Hal (Dennis Quaid) tries to instill in his son a sense of truth, value, and morals, despite the conditions they live in. This comes especially hard when Elijah's jail-bird brother, Jimmy (Jack Reynor) finally gets out of prison. But things are about to get weird when the kid finds a rifle during his usual scrounging around abandoned buildings. But this rifle ain't no ordinary firearm! Apparently it was left over from a fierce fire-fight between some intergalactic soldiers.
The super-cool gun 'pairs' itself to Elijah and, thinking it's some neat looking toy, takes it home to play with. Meanwhile, trouble rears its ugly head when Jimmy's old gangster boss, Taylor Balik (James Franco), demands his protection money from him. Fearing for his life, Jimmy decides to rob his dad's place of business, but things go very, very bad. With revenge on his mind, Taylor and his merciless gang go after Jimmy, but he hightails for Lake Tahoe with Elijah. On the road, they meet up with a stripper-with-a-heart-of-gold named Milly (Zoe Kravitz), and together they form an usual dysfunctional family.
Oh, did I mention that two of those intergalactic soldiers return to get that space gun back? Well, they do and they're hot on Elijah's trail along with homicidal Taylor and his pistol-packin' thugs. All hell breaks loose in a small county jail when the soldiers, the gang, and the FBI converge. And that space gun? Oh yeah, almost forgot about that! From time to time Elijah whips that bad boy out to blow a hole through a wall or take out some bad guys. Pretty cool stuff. The rest of the time, however, you have a character study of brothers, relationships, and finding oneself.
Surprisingly, this is NOT one of those slam-bang, shoot 'em up, kill 'em all and let God sort them out kinda of cheap movies that you'd see on the SyFy Channel at 2am. Newbie writer Casey (who also did only short films) follows a basic ho-hum story formula and pads the plot out for feature-length film (The Bag Man ran a short 15 minutes). Result? It gets a little long in the tooth at times, but it does posses a genuine nice quality with real dialogue that isn't dumbed-down or written like some fan-fiction with explosions and gruesome deaths every five minutes. I'll give 'em this much; the Baker bros. know a thing or two about directing.
Another plus is the stellar cast starting with Myles Truitt, an exceptional young man who never crosses the line into 'kiddie' territory. He's genuine and has a real gift for acting natural, as does Jack Reynor, who looks like a young Chris Pratt. Reynor's performance doesn't go for the obvious schlock, but gives depth and focus. Dennis Quaid is the veteran actor who is just perfect and James Franco plays it, well, Franco playing it creepy here. All in all, not the sort of family/road trip/sci-fi film I was expecting, but one that had a nice groove to it with a twisty end to boot.
MST3K had a blast riffing on this extremely low-budget and horribly acted movie that came out a year after Star Wars, about a young man that comes into possession of an alien bazooka-like weapon that he uses to exact revenge on his enemies. The best thing about this film? The two stop-motion animated aliens!
We begin with a prologue of sorts: a green-skinned teenager is killed by two shell-less turtle-like aliens in the middle of the desert. Distracted, they depart in their spaceship, accidentally leaving behind a laser cannon and a metallic pendant that powers the device. Meanwhile, bored and angst-riddled teenager Billy Duncan (Kim Milford) is having a very bad day: his mother is leaving for vacation… again, his girlfriend's deranged grandfather, Colonel Farley (Keenan Wynn) is talking nonsense, he's harassed by local school bullies Chuck Boran and Froggy (Mike Bobenko and Eddie Deezen), and two inept police deputies (Barry Cutler & Dennis Burkley) give him a speeding ticket.
Ah, but Billy's life turns upside-down when he finds the alien laser cannon and pendant and learns how to use it. It's fun at first, blowing stuff up and feeling empowered, but what he doesn't know is the longer he wears that pendant, the more he becomes a green-skinned creature bent on destruction. He also doesn't know those pesky aliens have received word from 'high command' to go back to Earth and get that weapon back! But while Billy goes to the doctor (OMG, is that really Roddy McDowell??), his girlfriend Kathy (Cheryl Smith) is becoming increasingly concerned about Billy's sinister attitude.
And Kathy should be concerned, because Billy (under the pendant's influence) goes on a killing spree: the bullies, the doctor, the idiot cops, and anyone else who stands in his way… even an advertisement sign for the movie Star Wars! Finally, an alien shows up to zap Billy to death and, well, you figure out the ending 'cause nobody else can. Rife with bad acting, low-budget sets, and actor Eddie Deezen's outrageously over-the-top screen debut, this movie was written by Frank Ray Perelli (The Doberman Gang) and Franne Schaucht (only her second screenplay) like it was a 1970's high-school film project.
This was Michael Rae's one and only directorial job, and you can see why. Amateurish at best, I've seen YouTube videos shot by 12-year-olds that were better. No structure, bad camera angles, and a cast that didn't really want to be there in the first place. The only decent acting comes from veteran film actors Wynn and McDowell and, like I said, those stop-motion animated clay aliens, which were done quite well. This film has since gone on to be a cult classic like The Room, and you can watch the terrific Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of it with Mike Nelson on YouTube for free!

I began really to get back to poetry, and that's the most serious thing. I had been dwindling in the amount of time I spent on it. I was flail... flailing about for style. I'd sort of exhausted the style of the short lined free verse with lots of assonance and long vowels which I mentioned earlier. I repeated that a little, I went back and wrote some metrical poems... I tried some prose poems which I don't really like very much and I published some things and so on. But I knew I was going nowhere, and I knew that the best poem... I had not written for oh, it would be about 10 years... a poem as good as something I'd written 10 years earlier. It's a melancholy thing - it can happen to you at any point in your life that you lose it all of a sudden, and I was depressed and chaotic and so on. But then after Jane and I married, about six months after... one day I picked up a piece of paper and began to write Kicking the Leaves, the poem, Kicking the Leaves. Which is not like anything I had been writing. It was a little more like much earlier stuff but stylistically very, very different. And I can put together now the different places that style came from... things I'd been reading and admiring, but not trying to equal, and it doesn't sound like any poet in particular. But I began to write Kicking the Leaves, and I picked up a paper and continued it... it's a fairly long poem - six or seven pages - and I wrote it... I began it over a period of... of a few days, but I knew when I was writing it that something had happened, and that something was opened up. That was before moving here, but the poem, Kicking the Leaves, looks ahead to living in this place, and at that time, all we knew was that we were going to come here and camp out for a year. But the poem knew better than I did - it really foresaw the life here - and the rest of that year and into the winter, I wrote many poems which are in a volume called Kicking the Leaves and, they came much more quickly. I would finish them, I mean I... I would say normally that I'd think a poem might be done in two or three years, sort of thing, the last year I may just change a word here and there, but I was finishing them in two months or something then, and there were a whole lot of them, and it was so exciting, so utterly thrilling to be back and to feel that I was going forward. And since then, or in more recent years, when people have reviewed my work in general, there's a kind of standard sentence, and it says that Hall started early, and published a lot, and maybe did... and if they liked my work... they'd say he did some good things, but his work really began when he married his second wife, the poet Jane Kenyon and moved to the family farm in New Hampshire. Well, it really accelerated when I got to New Hampshire, but it began after marrying Jane, and anticipating coming to New Hampshire. That was, say in the first of the three years of the marriage in... no, it wasn't, no it wasn't... it was in the... in the second year, just before we came here in fact. But something else happened that took a long time to come to fruition, and I think this was six months after Jane and I were married, that I was suddenly seized with an absolute deluge of images and lines... that in no particular shape of form... and they were a long way from being finished poems, but I felt that I was starting a book length poem. I had admired a book length poem that a contemporary of mine wrote, Galway Kinnell - The Book of Nightmares - and I wanted to write something of that capacity, not resembling it, but of that ambition and length. And I began to write, and that time I remember, I would be driving to the supermarket, and I would be gone a mile or two and I'd pull over to the side of the road and write, and then I'd drive another block or two, and I'd pull over and write some more. It wasn't very good, but it was dynamite. It was very strong stuff, and it took me a long, long time to be able to work on it. I did - after 60 or 70 pages or so - came this strangeway... uncontrolled, manic, not happy necessarily... not happy in content, but manic in a kinda possession. After 60 or 70 pages, it slowed down and stopped and then later Kicking the Leaves started and those poems. And when I came here, the return to this place continued the fountain that began to erupt with Kicking the Leaves. I had written about New Hampshire so much in Michigan, in England, I thought well I am living there I won't write about it any more - I really did - crazy. I came back here and wrote about it more than ever, you know. I... after I came back I wrote Names of Horses and Ox-Cart Man, and lots and lots of New Hampshire poems. So that the book, Kicking the Leaves, which began in Ann Arbor was probably, half to two-thirds of it at any rate was begun here, but it came out in 1978 which means it was finished by '77. And it was the summer of '75 when we moved here, and I already had some of the poems. But that was incredibly exciting and that book is the one that allowed me to begin to come back in the estimation of people, and people mostly thought it was the best thing that I had done, and probably the single book that has sold more copies, whatever... whatever that means.
