Personalized Avatars For A Superior
Networking
Experience
LOS ANGELES- PRNewswire/ - Omni
Cultural TV Fest (OCTVF) in
partnership with NATPE launched its second
annual television festival showcasing 60
selections from thousands of submissions
worldwide. As production and special
events came to an abrupt halt due to
COVID-19, OCTVF found an innovative way to
execute this year's festival using an
interactive platform at an all-day event
on December 8, 2020.
The inaugural
all-day event last year attracted more
than 6000 participants at the Egyptian
Theater in Hollywood. This year, OCTVF
partnered with the nonprofit organization
S.T.R.E.A.M. Global Innovations, creators
of the "virtual world" platform that
allows live streamed content and offers
interactive access to guests.
Using their
computers, guests will create an avatar to
"walk" through the sponsor expo, attend
panel discussions, screenings and an award
show. They will be able to ask questions,
network, and set up private meetings as if
they were at the live festival.
Participants using smart phones will have
access to panels and shows.
To date, the
festival has been instrumental in getting
five projects distributed through
ShortsTV, a movie deal with Maverick
Entertainment, and pitch meetings with
GRB, Disney, and All 3 Media, and fulfill
requests to view participants' content
from prominent networks and studios.
Festival supporters
include Anannke Entertainment,
Nickelodeon, Viacom, A&E, Lifetime,
The History Channel, The Nacelle Company,
CBS Diversity, NBC/Telemundo, Spectrum
TV1, Azteca TV International, MGM
Television, NYWIFT, Greenlight Women,

own home &endash; including 8 World

AFI's eight-day festival showcases the

October 15-22, 2020
The virtual edition will have the same
programming structure as previous years
with sections highlighting new auteurs and
world cinema, as well as filmmaker
conversations and the AFI Summit, a
festival favorite.
Michael Lumpkin, Director of AFI
Festivals, and his team already have one
virtual festival under their belts: AFI
DOCS. It was the first festival that
shifted entirely online post-COVID,
offering ticketed virtual screenings and
events.
Lumpkin recently said that we
intentionally wanted to build a virtual
version of what we usually do on the
ground
the important thing is that
the essential piece of any festival, the
films, the voices and the stories that
really are the heart of the festival,
isn't changing."

its 190 charter member stations. PBS was
created to provide educational television
programming and services that reflect the
diverse interests of the American people.
For half a century, PBS has delivered on
its promise to educate, engage, and
inspire the America people. PBS became the
television constant of many a lifes.
PBS is the
successor to National Educational
Television, and its roots in education
still anchor it today. There's now a 24/7
broadcast just for children, as well as a
website that extends educational
programming beyond the airwaves: PBS
Kids offers educational games,
podcasts and videos, as well as advice for
parents. PBS Learning Media, for
classroom teachers, links to programming

October 4, marks the 50th anniversary of
Janice Joplin's
death
By
Maria
Ludwig
Her death was ruled
an accident. A heroin overdose. Joplin
died at the Landmark Hotel, at the corner
of Franklin and North Sycamore in
Hollywood, known now as the Highland
Garden. She was only 27 when she was found
in Room 105 on Ooct. 4, 1970. That was
just three weeks after guitarist Jimi
Hendrix died in London and nine months
before Jim Morrison of the Doors died in
Paris.
Janice Joplin was
known as the "hippie queen of show
business, the biggest female star in the
history of rock'n' roll when she died.
Every time I pass
the hotel in Hollywood I keep thinking of
the day in Germany when my teenage stepson
Keith came running into the room excitedly
calling out loud "Janice Joplin died!"
Obviously along with Led Zepplin she was a
favorite of him. He is not with us any
longer either, having gone from this life
at a very young age, and that's why when
passing what is now the Highland Garden I
can't put the scene out of my mind. A
young teenager almost shouting in
disbelief about the death of a young
singer.
Influenced by
artists like Bessie Smith, Otis Redding,
Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Tina Turner
and Aretha Franklin, she possessed a
command of blues styling, phraseology and
melody. She was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and voted number
28 in Rolling Stone's greatest singers of
all time in 2008.

Washington, DC - On Friday, October 2,
2020, President Donald Trump announced
that he and Melania Trump had tested
positive for Covid-19. He was transported
to Walter Reed National Military Medical
Center for treatment.
Many
of the Trump aides or contacts who have
recently tested positive for Covid-19
attended the White House festivities
honoring Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney
Barrett on September 26, in the Rose
Garden.
At
least seven people attending the event,
including the President and first lady,
have tested positive. University of Notre
Dame President the Rev. John Jenkins,
former counselor to the President
Kellyanne Conway and Republican Sens. Mike
Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North
Carolina, who were seated relatively close
to each other, tested positive. Former New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also tested
positive and checked himself into the
hospital Saturday as a precautionary
measure, because he has asthma.

The
United States presidential debates between

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
dies at
87
Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, the demure firebrand who
in her 80s became a legal, cultural and
feminist icon, died Friday. The Supreme
Court announced her death, saying the
cause was complications from metastatic
cancer of the pancreas.
The court, in a statement, said Ginsburg
died at her home in Washington surrounded
by family.
"Our nation has
lost a justice of historic stature," Chief
Justice John Roberts said. "We at the
Supreme Court have lost a cherished
colleague. Today we mourn but with
confidence that future generations will
remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew
her, a tireless and resolute champion of
justice."
Architect of the
legal fight for women's rights in the
1970s, Ginsburg subsequently served 27
years on the nation's highest court,
becoming its most prominent member. Her
death will inevitably set in motion what
promises to be tumultuous political battle
over who will succeed her, and it thrusts
the Supreme Court vacancy into the
spotlight of the presidential
campaign.
Just
days before her death, as her strength
waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to
her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most
fervent wish is that I will not be
replaced until a new president is
installed."
She
knew what was to come. Ginsburg's death
will have profound consequences for the
court and the country. Inside the court,
not only is the leader of the liberal wing
gone, but with the court about to open a
new term, the chief justice no longer
holds the controlling vote in closely
contested cases.
Though
Roberts has a consistently conservative
record in most cases, he has split from
fellow conservatives in a few important
ones this year, casting his vote with
liberals, for instance, to protect at
least temporarily the so-called DREAMers
from deportation by the Trump
administration, to uphold a major abortion
precedent and to uphold bans on large
church gatherings during the coronavirus
pandemic. But with Ginsburg gone, there is
no clear court majority for those
outcomes.

SAG-AFTRA CONDEMNS THE ARREST OF
JOURNALIST JOSIE
HUANG
LOS ANGELES
(September 14, 2020) -- SAG-AFTRA
today released the following statement
regarding the arrest of KPCC journalist
Josie Huang on Saturday:
This past Saturday,
Los Angeles Sheriff's Department deputies
tackled, held down, handcuffed and
arrested SAG-AFTRA member Josie Huang, a
public media journalist with radio station
KPCC. Huang was visibly credentialed as a
working journalist and verbally identified
herself as a member of the press. She had
done nothing to warrant questioning much
less arrest.
This is another
deeply troubling interaction in a string
of police arrests and often violent
attacks on working journalists who are
abiding by the law and simply trying to do
their jobs.
"These
unconstitutional attacks on the rights of
a free press are appalling and must stop
now, said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle
Carteris. SAG-AFTRA champions the U. S.
Constitution and the work of our
journalist members, whose primary role is
to provide citizens with the information
they need to effectively govern a
democracy."
SAG-AFTRA is
calling on the Los Angeles Sheriff's
Department to drop all charges and
apologize to Josie Huang.

Times Festival of Books is opening a
virtual chapter this year amid the
COVID-19 pandemic. After being postponed
from April to October, the 25th Festival
of Books, Stories & Ideas will take

lifelong work for racial equality; Julie
Andrews reminisce about the Swiss Alps;
Luis J. Rodriguez wax poetic about life in
Los Angeles; Viet Thanh Nguyen expound
reclaiming historical narratives; Padma

The Consumers

slated for January 6-9-2021 will not be
held in Las Vegas, but presented "an
all-digital experience," according to the
show organizer, the Consumer Technology
Association ( CTA).
The show takes place at the Las Vegas
Convention Center, which is located just
off the Strip and attracts thousands of
attendees every year, bolstering the
economy and employing many along the
way.
Industry professionals get a look at the
latest and greatest in consumer technology
and products before they're available for
purchase to the general public. Typically,
Las Vegas hotel rooms are filled to
capacity and restaurants, casinos, and
other nearby businesses reap the
benefits.
"With the growing global health concerns
about the spread of COVID-19, it is not
possible to safely convene tens of
thousands of people in Las Vegas in early
January 2021 to meet and do business in
person.
"An all-digital CES 2021 will allow the
entire tech community to safely share
ideas and introduce the products that will
shape our future. You'll be able to
participate in all the awe-inspiring
moments of CES wherever you are in the
world. We are designing a unique
experience for the tech industry."
The digital CES experience will include
keynotes and conferences, an online
product showcase, meetings, and
opportunities for networking. It will take
place the first week of January.

Popular local Weatherman Fritz Coleman
calls it quits after 39 years delivering
weather
reports
- By Josie
Cory
NBC4 said good-bye
to beloved weatherman Fritz Coleman who
has delivered weather forecasts at NBC4
for almost 40 years and delivered his
final weather report on Friday, June 26
during the 5 pm and 11 pm news. His news
anchor team Colleen Williams, Chuck Henry
and sports anchor Fred Roggin offered
their words of sincere thanks with
Williams bearly holding back her
tears.
After a year of
planning his retirement, Coleman decided
to spend more time with his family,
appreciate his good health, and dedicate
more time to his comedy and working with
charities.
Coleman, who works
on the side as a stand-up comic, is known
for mixing humor with his forecasts.
Coleman joined NBC4 in 1982, and has been
part of one of the longest
running news anchor teams in Los
Angeles, working alongside co-anchors
Colleen Williams and Chuck Henry and
sports anchor Fred Roggin.
"This career has
been a gift," Coleman said in a statement.
"To work in the greatest news operation in
Southern California has been the greatest
experience of my life. I have also had the
opportunity of raising my children, while
working with a wonderful team. I have made
lifelong friends at NBC4 and in the
community it serves. I'm so very
thankful."
Coleman
has received numerous awards and honors
for community service, including an
honorary doctorate from Woodbury
University in Burbank for his extensive
public service in the community. He has
received awards from groups such as
Shelter Partnership and
the
California Hospital Medical Center. He was
named a "Treasure of Los Angeles' by the
city of L.A. and he received a
congressional "Humanitarian of the Year
Award" for his fundraising efforts on
behalf of the American Red Cross from the
U.S. House of Representatives, among other
honors.
Coleman
is the Honorary Mayor of Toluca Lake and
known to light the Christmas Tree during
'Toluca Lake's Annual Holiday Open House'
ceremony at Ramsey-Shilling with with 4th
District council and actor Joe Montegna
often in attendance
For
many years he is featured as celebrity
guest auctioneer at the St. Charles
Borromeo annual parish festival.
Coleman
appreciated for his work as a stand-up
comic, appearing frequently at The Improv
in Hollywood and The Ice House in
Pasadena. His one-man show "Defying
Gravity at the El Portal Theater in North
Hollywood and subsequently at the Gary
Marshall Theatre in Toluca Lake proved
a
hit among local residents. He also
made several appearances on The
Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and other
NBC shows.

In Life's current Bicentennial

Erroneously, Life lists Guglielmo Marcon's
dots and dashes as the first wireless

a forgivable mumpsimus, since the evidence
offered on the following pages has not,
until now, appeared in any national

The birth of broadcasting is a bizarre
soap opera saga, a lacrymal legend of
mystery, machination, ephemeral
enshrinement, decline, disillusionment and
disaster. It's denouncement dissolves six
miles north of Murray, Kentucky, in a
two-room shanty constructed of pine and
cornstalks, where radio's uncelebrated
architect is discovered 48 hours after his
death, his records scattered, his
equipment destroyed, his brain partly

"They all laughed at Christopher
Columbus
When he said the world
was round:
They all laughed when
Edison recorded sound . . .
Ha, Ha, Ha -- who's got the
last laugh now?"
--Ira Gershwin, 1937
When
an inordinately eccentric young farmer
suggested that he had invented a portable
wireless telephone that could broadcast
voice and music up over hight buildings
and down through stone walls, most of
Calloway County, Kentucky, chuckled. When
he revealed his "crazy box, and odd
assortment of batteries, rods, coils and
kegs, they howled.
85
years after, their heirs are writing songs
of love, christening radio stations,
consecrating libraries and constructing
memorial monuments in his infinite honor.
The veneration is hardly widespread.
17,000 Murray, Kentucky, tobacco farmers
may agree that Nathan B Stubblefield was
the first man on earth to transmit and
receive the human voice without wires. But
most of our world is unacquainted with his
improbable name and even his proponents
are unaware of the precise date of his
private discovery. Evidence points to a
period between 1890 and 1892, at least
seven years before Marconi sent the first
wireless telegraph message across the
English Channel.
Stubblefield's
supporters maintain that telegraphy is far
different from telephony; that they are, I
fact, diverse discoveries. Wireless
telephone is hip-to-shore radio, the
walkie-talkie, the citizen band and
portable radio, the mobile phone, the
audio arm of television, rheostats,
rectifying tubes, filaments, dials,
microphones, AM and FM radio and every
broadcasting booth on earth--not Marconi's
Code signals.
Marconi's
name is linked with Stubblefield's by
Trumbull White in a book called The
World's Progress, published in 1902. "Of
very recent success are the experiments of
Marconi with wireless telegraphy, an
astounding and important advance over the
ordinary system of telegraphy through
wires. Now comes the announcement that an
American inventor, unheralded and modest,
has carried out successful experiments of
telephoning and is able to transmit speech
for great distances without wires . . the
inventor is Nathan B. Stubblefield."
"This Fellow Is Fooling me."
"Hello,
Rainey," according to Dr. Rainey T. Wells,
founder of Murray State College, was the
world's first radio message. Testifying
before an FCC commission in 1947, Rainey
explained that he had personally heard
Stubblefield demonstrate his wireless
telephone as early as 1892.
"He
had a shack about four feet square near
his house from which he took an ordinary
telephone receiver, but entirely without
wires. Handing me these, he asked me to
walk some distance away and listen. I had
hardly reached my post, which happened to
be an apple orchard, when I heard 'Hello,
Rainey' come booming out of the receiver.
I jumped a foot and said to myself, 'This
fellow is fooling me. He as wires
somewhere.' So I moved to the side some 20
feet but all the while he kept talking to
me. I talked back and he answered me as
plainly as you please. I asked him to
patent the thing but he refused, saying he
wanted to continue his research and
perfect it."
Dr.
William Mason, Stubblefield's family
physician, described a day during that
same year when Stubblefield "handed me a
device in what appeared to be a keg with a
handle on it. I started walking down the
lane . . . from it I could distinctly hear
his voice and a harmonica which he was
broadcasting to me several years before
Marconi made his announcement about
wireless telegraphy."
Stubblefield was
born in Murray, Kentucky, 1860 the son of
Attorney and Mrs. William Jefferson
Stubblefield (Capt. Billy). In his teens
he was reportedly an omnivorous student
and researched everything available on the
new science of electricity. When Alexander
Bel phoned Tom Watson on March 10, 1876,
to say "Come here, Watson; I want you,"
Stubblefield was already experimenting
with vibrating communication devices. In
1888 (Patent #378,183) he invented a
vibrating telephone. The Murray News
Weekly carried this item: "Charlie Hamlin
has his telephone I fine working order
from his store to his home. It is the
Nathan Stubblefield patent and is the best
I have ever talked through."
Stubblefield
manufactured and patented batteries which
he later described as "the bedrock of all
my scientific research in raidio" (his
spelling).
"I have been
working on this, the wireless telephone,
for 10 or 12 years," he told a St. Louis
Post-Dispatch correspondent in January,
1902. "This solution is not the result of
an inspiration or the work of a minute. It
is the climax of years. The system can be
developed until messages by voice can be
sent and heard all over the country, even
to Europe. The world is it limits."
"Diamonds
as Large a Your Thumb."
With
the new industrial and scientific epoch at
hand and the first Roosevelt in the White
House, Stubblefield built his broadcasting
station, a tiny workshop on the front
porch of his modest farmhouse. It was
barely wide enough to hold the transmitter
and one char. The transmitting mechanism
was concealed in a box four feet hight,tow
and a half feet wide, one and a half feet
deep. "In that box," said Stubblefield,
"lies the secret of my success." Five
hundred yards away was the experimental
receiving station, a dry-good box fastened
to the foot of a tree stump.
The
St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter noted
that Stubblefield's 14-year-old son,
Bernard, was left on the porch wile h and
the inventor walked to the stump. The
writer picked up a receiver and heard
spasmodic buzzings and then: "Hello. Can
you hear me? Now I will count ten.
One-to-three-four-=five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten.
Did you hear that? Now I will whisper."
Later Bernard whistled and played the
mouth organ.
"I
heard as clearly as if the speaker were
only across a 12-foot room" wrote the
newsman.
When
the article appeared on January 10, 1902,
Stubblefield was besieged by capitalists,
financiers, stock-jugglers, hucksters and
hawkers. Dr. Mason recalled seeing a
$40,000 check for a part interest in the
invention, as titans of industry "wearing
diamonds as large as your thumb" scuttled
up industry dirt roads to Stubblefield's
flinty farm.
"You
and I will yet add luster to the
Stubblefield name," wrote Nathan to his
cousin, Vernon.
He
refused all propositions, including one
for half a million dollars. "It is north
twice that," he insisted, entrusting only
his son, Bernard, with the secret of his
mysterious keg. On occasion he repelled
over-inquisitive visitors with a
shotgun.
Invited
by leading scientist, he traveled with his
trunk of mystery to Washington, D.C.,
where he demonstrated the practicability
of his contrivance from the steamship
Bartholdy on the Potomac to crowds along
the river bank. On Decoration Day, 1902,
he broadcast words and music form the
Belmont Mansion and Fairmont Park in
Philadelphia to hundreds of statesmen,
investors and newsmen. He obtained patents
in England, the U.S. and Canada.
In the Canadian patent is a drawing of a
"horseless carriage" with a broadcasting
set, presaging the auto radio by 30 years.
But perhaps even more remarkable are
notations that by reversing a switch one
could change a broadcasting station into a
receiving apparatus.
Articles appeared in major newspapers
throughout the world acclaiming him as the
distinguished inventor of the wireless
telephone and a celebrated scientific
genius. At lease one extravagant reporter
suggested that Stubblefield ad crated "the
world's greatest invention."
Decline
and Fall.
There are three conflicting theories on
how this farmer-inventor sowed the wind of
immortality and reaped the whirlwind of
oblivion. His cousin, Vernon, claimed the
invention was stolen
"Will I ever see my
trunk again?" Stubblefield scribbled on
the back of an old map after he returned
from Washington.
"All his valuables were in that trunk,"
said his cousin.
Perry Meloan, newspaper editor of
Edmonton, Kentucky, an ear-witness to the
first public demonstration in Murray,
declared that Stubblefield was inveigled
into a partnership in the Wireless
Telephone Company of America, located at
Broadway 11, New York. Learning that the
firm was not interested in perfecting his
creation but merely in selling stock
unscrupulously, Stubblefield returned
home. "Damn rascals," was his bitter
comment to friends, and he advised them to
withdraw their investment in his project.
Soon after, he renounced his wife, nine (5
surviving) children and all relatives and
built his hermitage gut in Almo, six miles
from his family farmhouse. That farmhouse
later mysteriously burned to the
ground.
His son, Bernard, joined the Westinghouse
Electrical Corp., the firm that introduced
the commercial radio. Did Bernard utilize
his father's secrets to produce those
early sets?
Wireless lights appeared in the trees and
along the fences guarding Stubblefield's
crudely constructed shanty and, according
to neighbors, voices, apparently coming
from the air, were heard by trespassers.
"Get your mule out of my cornfield,"
Stubblefield's wireless voice was hard to
say in the night.
He curtly refused the aid of friends. "He
was never insane," they insisted, "only
queer."
Robert McDermott found the body of Nathan
Stubblefield on March 30, 1928. "Death due
to starvation," was Dr. Mason's
conclusion. In a unmarked grave in
Bowman's cemetery, one and a half miles
form Murray, Stubblefield lies alone.
In 1930 a memorial to "the first man to
transmit and receive the human voice
without wires" was dedicated at Murray
State Teachers College campus, less than
100 feet from the charred ruins of the
world's first broadcasting station.
In 1962 his tragic life was dramatized in
an epicedial folk opera, The Stubblefield
Story, composed by Murray State professor
Paul Shahan and Mrs. Lillian Lowry and
performed in the campus auditorium.
Murray's only radio station, 1 1000-watt
outlet, broadcasts "middle of the road and
some rock music as well," according to
owner Fransuelle Cole. Book-ended between
Bruce Springsteen's "Borne to Rune" a a
live commercial for Kroger's grocery, on
hears. "You are tune to WNBS, 1340 on your
radio dial in Murray, Kentucky: the
birthplace of radio."
The stations call-letters, not
accidentally, are Stubblefield's
initials.

The 26th Shanghai TV Festival with focus
on story's quality & energy took place
Aug. 3 - 7,
2020
On the morning of
August 5, the meeting of judges for
Magnolia Award of the 26th Shanghai TV
Festival (STVF) was held, including
Chinese judges for Dramas, Documentaries
and Animations.
Due to COVID-19
epidemic, the selection of the Magnolia
Award was conducted in a way that the
Chinese judges concentrated in Shanghai
and the international judges participated
online for the first time. Zheng Xiaolong,
chairman of the jury said at the meeting
that the Magnolia Award judges are under
heavy pressure this year. He said, "As
this year's TV series first broadcast on
major video website also joined the
selection of Chinese TV drama, the
Magnolia Award considers more works with
various subjects. Obviously, the overall
shows a higher level. So, Judging TV
series this year is a difficult thing,
which is a test for our judges."
The 26th STVF had
collected more than 800 works from 48
countries and regions, among which, 60
works or dramas won the Magnolia Award,
including 15 series from China and 10 from
other countries. The five judges of
Chinese TV series have won the Magnolia
Award at previous STVF, even including the
chairman of the jury. Zheng Xiaolong, who
has served as chairman of the Magnolia
Award TV series jury for the third time,
said that Shanghai is a modern and
fashionable city, with the spirit of
contract and responsibility of Shanghai
residents, as well as their warmth and
tolerance. He added, "So I am willing to
come to Shanghai, to cooperate with my
friends here, and to do something for the
development of Chinese films and TV
series."
The Shanghai
Television Festival ( STVF),
also known as the Shanghai International
Television Festival is the first and one
of the largest television festivals
in East Asia. Held since 1986, STVF
has become one of the most influential and
prestigious international television
festivals in Asia, strengthening the
cooperation and communication between the
Chinese media industry and the world.
The festival is
also home to the annual Magnolia Awards.
Awards are handed out to both
international and national productions
through voting by a panel of award-winning
actors, producers, directors and writers,
and are the highest industry honours
given. It is considered to be one of the
most prestigious television awards,
alongside the Feitian
Awards and Golden Eagle Awards.
Since 2004, the Magnolia Awards have been
held every year.
In 1986, with the
commission of the Shanghai People's
Congress, the film festival opened with
entries from 16 countries. There were no
awards presented.
In 1988, the film
festival created the Magnolia Awards,
named after the floral emblem of
Shanghai. It awarded Best Actor, Best
Actress, Best Documentary and Best
Director. Until 2004, it has held an
awards ceremony every 2 years.
Troy Cory was the
first American artist to perform on stage

Cory's Road to
China;
Troy Cory was among the first

American entertainer to perform in the
People's Republic of China, beginning in
1988. In itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view of
China's closed door policies of the late
70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's
administrative climate in comparison is
much less restrictive now and China's open
door policy enables many entertainers to
introduce themselves to the populace

Cory Meets JiangZemin, former President
PRC
Back in the 80s, as a
goodwill ambassador representing the
U.S.A., Troy Cory and his back-up dancers
and singers, "The Brooke Sisters," were
the first entertainers from the United
States to appear in a full staged program
in the People's Republic of China during
the Shanghai TV Festival, and televised on
China's National Television (CCTV), viewed
by over 300 million
people.
It was there Cory met Jiang Zemin, then
