![]() The soviet numbers are based on shipment codes found on the back of vinyls. ![]() With the massive growth of streaming in recent years does the future look bright as IFPI is expecting Russia to be in the top 10 streaming markets by 2030. This didn’t last too long though as the album market fell into total irrelevancy by the early 2010’s. Some local artists were able to sell a few millions during this era as well. Nonetheless the Russian market did come back strong once more closing the 90’s with international stars artists like Madonna and Tarkan selling albums in the hundred thousands.Ī handful of albums went diamond for 200,000 sales by the early to mid 2000’s. This was the start of an issue that would hold back the market for the coming decades. If that wasn’t bad enough legitimate labels were now competing with countless of big and small pirate labels. This resulted in a big drop in album sales as well. The international majors themselves started issuing western releases there as well by the mid 90’s.Īlong with this win for foreign artists, some new challenges came as well.Īfter the Soviet era, the Russian economy saw a big decline during the 90’s. This included bands like Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden among others. Since the censorship was gone could these labels release pretty much whatever they wanted to.įor the first time did we see western artist’s full discographies getting released. Many local labels of various legal statuses started to flood the Russian market and filling the Melodiya vacuum quite fast after the USSR dissolved. It means that tracks recorded before this date were free of copyrights in the country. Yet, the Soviet Union signed this convention in 1973 only. In fact, in most countries copyrights are protected by the Universal Copyright Convention (UCC), a convention signed in Geneva in 1952. ![]() To release LPs from American and English stars there was still one way for Melodiya which was using a loophole. Of course, it was possible for them to license international albums, but it was rarely done as these would conclude on releases too expensive for the local market. The state arguably approved more music from Italy, France and other parts of Europe than the US and other English speaking countries.Īnother reason for the lack of western releases is that Melodiya wasn’t the copyright owner of these products. There are several reasons for this and censorship is definitely one of them. ![]() More often than not did international artists get only one or two albums released, if any at all. Naturally, the only way for foreign acts to sell music there was through Melodiya. A vast majority of these were sold locally. This label was among the world’s largest in terms of volume with 100-200 million records shipped on a yearly basis in the 70’s and 80’s. State owned label Melodiya had a monopoly on all legal music sales from the mid 60’s until the USSR dissolved in 1991. Get ready for some heavy surprises as the USSR market looked like none other. If you go through various online sites covering music sales, you’ll find close to no information at all about the best selling artists in the USSR and Russia.Ī black box up to this day, we digged through the data of this market and identified receipts covering over 100 million unit sales. ![]()

Fetch infamous second son11/11/2022 ![]() ![]() When her health gets low enough, an end-of-mission cutscene will trigger, in which you’ll get to choose between a good and bad karma choice for how to deal with Fetch. Don’t try to get into melee with her as soon as you get close enough she uses a shockwave ability around herself which knocks you back and damages you. You only have access to the ‘neon beam’ power right now, so the only thing you can do is shoot at her whenever you can. Fetch dashes around the area, occasionally taking shots at you but mostly trying to avoid damage. The next section is far easier, but tedious. Try to take as little damage as possible, her laser beam stuns you for a moment, so if you don’t immediately sprint away when hit, she’ll likely kill you. This can be difficult, as Fetch moves very quickly, and her laser beam interrupts you, meaning you have to get away from her for a moment before you can try. It also appears that First Light will delve into Fetch's time at Curden Cay, the prison that houses some of the inFAMOUS: Second Son universe's most dangerous conduits. inFamous: Second Son - Go Fetch, Neon & Light Speed power, boss battle. In the first section of this fight, you need to drain all the neon signs in the building to weaken Fetch. At the end of the chase, a cutscene will ensue, and the battle with Fetch will begin. Simply jumping and hovering will be too slow to keep up in this chase, so you’ll need to time your dashes well to cover the open stretches.ĭon’t worry about trying to do anything to Fetch during this chase, you just need to keep with her. Also note that if you use light speed in the air your jump will angle itself sharply downwards, unlike the air smoke dash. It’s largely an improvement to your mobility, but during this chase be careful that you don’t spend too much time sprinting up a wall while Fetch gets away. Instead of a short dash, light speed is a much longer duration sprint which will allow you to rapidly scale walls. ![]() This operates very differently to smoke dash, and you’ll need to use it well to keep up in the chase. Head up to this billboard, and head over to the boxes on the roof behind it to ‘hide’ and trigger the next cutscene.Īs this cutscene ends, you have access to the new ‘light speed’ power, which you’ll need in the ensuing chase sequence.

Tom and jerry movies videos11/10/2022 ![]() Watching dubbed cartoons can be a fun way to enhance your study program, but I wouldn’t suggest relying too heavily on it because of the limitations in vocabulary and the non-standard voice actors.W hoever wins, parents lose. It is interesting to make note of small things like this when watching cartoons with a bunch of different voice actors who each speak their own type of non-standard dialects. Apparently switching f and h is a fairly common occurrence in local dialects of 四川话. Tom says “huī”, then a second later Jerry says “fēi”. For a good example of this check out the 四川话 version of 会飞的扫把 (huì fēi de sàobǎ, the flying broom) and listen carefully at 4:00-4:05 for when they say the word 飞 (fēi, fly). The three voice actors often will have different pronunciations of the same word within a couple of seconds. In the 四川话 Tom and Jerry cartoons there are three different voice actors who according to my teacher Neat, all sound like they come from different places in Sichuan, near 成都, but they sound fairly 土 (tǔ, not standard-speaking in a way that sounds like they come from a small village out in the country somewhere). Another problem is that the voice actors in the cartoons don’t always speak a very standard style of the Chinese dialect. It doesn’t necessarily help you to learn many phrases that are actually useful in daily life. There are a couple of problems with watching a whole bunch of Tom and Jerry cartoons as a study method. It was also useful for learning a select group of phrases that tend to reoccur in slapstick cartoons like, “我要打死你!(wǒ yào dǎsǐ nǐ, I’ll beat you to death!), 我要收拾你!(wǒ yào shōushi nǐ, I’ll teach you a lesson!), and 打你的屁股!(dǎ nǐde pìgǔ, kick your butt!”). This method was great for learning some really basic phrases like “我饿了!(wǒ è le, I’m hungry), 这是什么?(zhè shì shénme, What is that?), and 谁呀?(shéi ya, Who’s there?)”. An average lesson consisted of us watching the cartoons bit by bit, doing a lot of stopping and starting, giving me time to mimic the lines back and for Neat to correct my mistakes and explain the difficult parts. We also watched a bunch of feature length movies featuring 四川话 ( 浮生, 疯狂的的石头, and 沿江而上). I enjoyed this type of instruction based on textbook dialogues, but I realized that I still didn’t have enough basic vocabulary under my belt so I asked Neat to bring in some cartoons and other movies.Īfter a while Neat and I started using Tom and Jerry cartoons as our main study material. After a while I asked Neat to speak only in 成都话 during our lessons, even when explaining the meaning of words or phrases. I recorded my lessons and prepared a dialogue or two before each following meeting. Neat and I used a couple of elementary 中文 textbooks and read through the dialogues in 成都话 (Chéngdūhuà, Chengdu dialect). Within a couple of weeks I had found myself a tutor. So I asked around for students who came from Sichuan province that might be interested in tutoring me in some Sichuan dialect basics. If anyone knows of better Chinese video sites please share the links with us below.Ībout halfway through my first year at 山西农业大学 (Shānxī Nóngyè Dàxué, Shanxi Agricultural University) I decided to take a stab at learning some 四川话. It would be awesome if they get up to speed with youtube sometime soon and start offering higher quality clips. ![]() Be forewarned that the video quality is generally not great on these sites. Here are some links to a bunch of different 猫和老鼠 clips dubbed in different dialects: 四川话: 河南话 东北话 兰州话 陕西话 潮汕话. If you surf for a while longer you’ll see that the cartoons have also been dubbed in tons of other dialects as well. ![]() If you log on to one of the popular Chinese youtube knockoff sites like youkou or tudou and do a quick search for 方言 (fāngyán, dialect) you’ll see that some of the results that pop up on the first page are Tom and Jerry Cartoons dubbed in 四川话 (Sìchuānhuà, Sichuan dialect). The talking is a little distracting at first, but after you get used to it you’ll see that it adds a whole new dimension of humor to the cartoons. ![]() Not true in the Chinese dubbed versions which have Tom and Jerry talking almost non-stop. ![]() You might remember that there is almost no dialogue in the original American version. In Chinese the cartoons are called 猫和老鼠 (māohélǎoshǔ) which literally means Cat and Mouse. If you’re a fan of Tom and Jerry cartoons you should definitely check out the Chinese dubbed versions. Last week I was reading the forum thread about what else people use to study Mandarin and wanted to put in my own two cents here about using Tom and Jerry cartoons as study materials. ![]() Paint storm studio vs11/10/2022 ![]() ![]() A new "Resolution (dpi)" option added to the following panels: "New file", "Image resize" and "Canvas size".The cursor shape changed: now it has the same shape as the brush instead of the circle.The active box to control the position of the canvas added to the "Navigator" panel.This section contains two filters "Blur" and "Sharpen".

Rise of the tomb raider lock pick11/8/2022 ![]() ![]() By the end of 2017, the title had sold over seven million copies, with the PC version selling three times as many copies as the console version. It was nominated for a number of awards and won such accolades as the Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing from the WGA Awards and Most Enduring Character at the SXSW Gaming Awards.

He added that its volunteers such as Lety Trejo and Sylvia Bruni have registered over 2,000 new voters within the past few months. “This is a nine-and-a-half hour drive from my hometown of El Paso, but I made this drive because it is so important for me to show that I respect and I am grateful to the people of Laredo who have done so much to contribute to the success of the state.” “We’ve got to show up for one another, and that’s why I’m here in Laredo,” O”Rourke said. O’Rourke said that the right to vote needs to be acted upon by all citizens, regardless of political party, age, race, gender, etc. Additionally, he lambasted dangerous rhetoric toward immigrants as calling the ongoing migrant crossings as a Hispanic invasion can lead to situations like the El Paso shooting that resulted in 23 dead in 2019.Īs with any political race, voters will need to head to the ballot this upcoming election. He emphasized that residents along the border need a seat at the table in regards to immigration reform and border security.
