Works in being a spooky and entertaining darkly comedic horror movie...
Felix Vasquez Jr. - Cinema Crazed
Army of Darkness' story is so perfunctory and lame that there's nothing to tether its bits and pieces of loopy madness.
Nick Schager - Lessons of Darkness
Containing less of the blood soaked insanity of the previous two instalments, Army of Darkness comes off as more of an adventure film with a horror element attached to it.
Matthew Pejkovic - Matt's Movie Reviews
I'll probably take heat for saying so, but this flick kind of sucks.
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton - Dread Central
Raimi and his camera never slow down, which is good because many of the gags don't stand up to scrutiny.
Josh Larsen - LarsenOnFilm
a director, Raimi's strength lies in his manic inventiveness %u2013 which is somewhat in abeyance here, as he tries injecting some traditional plot elements into the old formula.
Steve Biodrowski - Cinefantastique
Camp isn't just an undercurrent here--it's the grindhouse force that drives the movie, with Bruce Campbell clearly happy behind the wheel.
Christopher Smith - Bangor Daily News (Maine)
Raimi approaches this scenario as if someone had given him a deep pail of Magic Markers and told him to draw the ultimate comic book.
Rob Gonsalves - eFilmCritic.com
A bloody and fairly lifeless witch's brew of medievalism, Jonathan Swift and the Three Stooges.

A Week in Culture: Carlene Bauer, Writer
February 5, 2013 | by Carlene Baeur
Tonight I went to my first Spanish class at Idlewild on Nineteenth Street. 7:30 to 9 P.M.. When I signed up for this class in November, shortly after I came back from spending a few weeks in Barcelona, I was flush with the joy of recent travel, and intent on injecting some novelty, intellectual and otherwise, into my life. I had an idea that I might try to make it back to Spain at the end of this year, and if that happened, I'd like to be able to do more than buy a few peaches without tripping over my tongue, or wanting to revert to French, the only other foreign language I know. And if that never happened, I would at least be doing something to forestall dementia. But as the intervening weeks, growing colder and darker, put more and more distance between me and that trip—I dreamed that, didn't I?—I started to wonder why I'd done such a thing. It seemed as unnecessary and out of character as signing up for ten colonics through Groupon. But when, after the fifteen of us had gathered in a circle in the back of the store, and the teacher welcomed us in Spanish, something in me quickened in response to hearing the language. Maybe it was just sound as souvenir, but some sleeping dog in me perked up. Something similar had happened back in Barcelona, while standing in the La Central bookstore, looking at all the books I wanted to read but could not, feeling a strange urgency to get the key that would unlock what lay between those covers, a strange feeling that this was a language I needed to know deeper.

NEW YORK -- Stocks headed higher Friday after the government said the economy grew at a faster pace than expected at the end of last year. Technology shares rose after Oracle Corp. posted higher earnings.
The Commerce Department said that gross domestic product rose at a 3.1 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2010. That's slightly better than economists expected and higher than the estimate made last month.
Oracle rose 3.5 percent after reporting a 78 percent jump in income late Thursday. The database software maker credited new software license sales and the benefit of three full months of revenue from Sun Microsystems, a company it acquired last year.
The Dow Jones industrial average is up 32 points, or 0.3 percent, to 12,203. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 3, or 0.2 percent, to 1,312. The Nasdaq composite is up 8, or 0.3 percent, to 2,744.
Research in Motion Ltd., the maker of the BlackBerry mobile device, fell 9.3 percent. Its profit jumped, but the company forecast earnings in the current quarter that were well below what analysts expected.
Many economists have scaled back their forecasts for growth in the current January-March quarter now that the economy faces a host of new challenges. A spike in oil prices fueled by political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa threatens to cut into consumer spending. Natural disasters in Japan could also slow activity at U.S. companies that rely on Japanese manufacturers for parts, especially in the U.S. auto and electronics industries.
All three stock indexes are on track to post gains this week of more than 2.5 percent. Better economic reports and stronger earnings have helped stocks recover to levels last seen before an earthquake hit Japan on March 11. They are still below where they started the month.

(Special to The Root) — After a reunion a few weeks ago in New York with Serkalem Fasil, an Ethiopian journalist and former publisher whose husband Eskinder Nega, also a journalist, is in prison on terrorism charges, I vowed to go to Ethiopia and plead with the government for his release, along with that of several other journalists imprisoned with him. Despite the Ethiopian government's claim that Nega and the other seven journalists are "spies for foreign forces," a wide array of human rights organizations and freedom of the press advocacy groups believe otherwise.
The journalists are there primarily because of their critical reporting, say rights groups, as Nega was when I visited him seven years ago along with Serkalem (who gave birth to their child in prison). And the government has gotten even tougher since then. As many as 150 people reportedly have been arrested since the government passed a sweeping anti-terrorism law in 2009.
I have just spent the weekend in Addis Ababa with two colleagues — Rob Mahoney, deputy director of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), on whose board I serve, and Dele Olojede, a board member on the African Media Initiative (AMI), which I co-chair. We had gotten word that the government would meet with us, provided we got beyond where such meetings have been in the past: criticism of the government's record on press freedom and intense condemnation by journalists, human rights advocates and some Western governments.
And while we had every intention of being critical of journalists' incarceration and calling for their release, we believed we could go beyond that with the participation of both CPJ, which fights for press freedom all over the world, and AMI, which helps media owners and journalists to be the best they can be, with workshops and other kinds of professional assistance.
A few hours after arriving in the country, we were welcomed at the Ministry of Information and spent the next two hours with the minister, Simon Bereket, who is said to be a power within the government. And while the meeting was cordial, the minister held fast to the government position that journalists had not been prosecuted for what they had written, but for what he termed as an effort to protect the country from terrorists. (There have been some terrorist attacks inside the country, arising primarily from tensions with neighboring Eritrea, with which Ethiopia fought a border war in 1998 that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands. Also, several al-Qaida suspects were arrested and charged in May with plotting against the government.)
We asked for but failed to get permission to meet with the prisoners to hear their side of the story. But before we met the minister, we had spent some time with Fasil. She said that during an earlier visit to the prison to take her husband food — prison food is sparse — Nega asked her to tell us that under no circumstances was he connected to or supportive of any terrorist organization, inside or outside the country. One of his alleged crimes was to speculate in his blog about whether an Arab Spring-type movement would take place in Ethiopia.

First came Paul Endacott and Charlie Black during the title seasons of 1922 and 1923. They were followed three decades later by dominating big man Clyde Lovellette. Danny Manning then captivated the nation in 1988 followed by Mario Chalmers 20 years later.
It is easy to get lost in a dense Phog that features 58 First Team All-Americans and 28 retired jerseys, a Phog that Mario Chalmers was able to navigate as the Most Outstanding Player in the 2008 NCAA tournament.
Chalmers and the others became Kansas legends upon leading their respective teams to titles, while other potential heroes fell short by inches or victim to the Ali Farokhmanesh's of the world. Just ask Michael Lee or Sherron Collins.
This year's Jayhawks will enter postseason play with a diverse roster, one that features a handful of potential heroes who could land in the same sentence as the revered Danny Manning or Mario Chalmers.

Virginia Credit Union recently received federal approval to originate, underwrite and close Federal Housing Authority (FHA) mortgages, a move which could reduce cost and save time for borrowers seeking FHA loans to purchase a home. Achieving the status places the credit union's FHA offerings on par with major national banks and large originators, according to Jeff Coward, the credit union's vice president of real estate lending. For credit union members, the designation will mean speedier loan origination and closing. By eliminating the need to send files to HUD or to an investor prior to closing, VACU will cut 5-10 business days off the FHA loan origination process. FHA loans allow sellers to contribute toward closing costs and borrowers may use gifts of funds in the down-payment.

Commodes and Accessories
Learn More about Commodes and Accessories (View Complete Description)
Bedside Commodes - Commode Chairs
More falls occur in the bathroom than almost any other room in a house so bathroom safety is essential for people of all ages, but people with mobility issues (whether from a disability, illness, or surgery) and the elderly are especially at risk of falling in the bathroom. Commode chairs (and accessories) help provide bathroom safety and fall prevention.
Who Benefits From Use of a Commode Chair?
For some people walking to the bathroom isn"t a problem, but arthritis, balance problems, or joint issues make lowering to or raising from the toilet seat a challenge. Illness, disability, aging, or surgery can leave a person too weak or unable to walk the distance from the bed to the bathroom as often as needed throughout the day. Depending on the level of body weakness (or balance issues), making trips to the bathroom may actually be dangerous with the increased risk of falls in the bathroom. Depending on the layout of the home, a person may be confined to a floor of the home which doesn"t have a bathroom (and they can"t navigate stairs).
Commode chairs can help prevent the risk of falls to and from the bathroom, or in the bathroom itself.
Types of Commode Chairs
Commode chairs are designed to be used in the bedroom, bathroom, or shower; there are different types of commode chairs to accommodate a range of needs.
Bedside commode chair: What most people know of as a "commode chair" are stand-alone commodes and may also be referred to as a "basic unit."
Drop arm commode: A drop arm commode simply means the arms of the commode chair fold down. The folding arms are one of the basic styles of a stand-alone commode chair. The Nova Drop Arm Commode is a popular commode chair among customers.
Bariatric commodes: Another type of stand-alone toilet chair are bariatric commodes, such as the Drive Deluxe Bariatric Commode, which are designed to support people who weigh over 300 pounds. Often commode chairs will combine two or more features into the same product, as is the case with the Invacare Bariatric Drop Arm Commode.
Shower commode chairs: Particularly helpful for efficient hygiene, these commodes are for use in the shower and are constructed from materials which hold up well in that environment (including plastic and rust-proof metals).
Commode chairs with wheels: These may also be referred to as "transfer chair commodes" and the wheels provide easy transport from the bedroom to the bathroom. Some wheeled commode chairs can be wheeled directly over the existing toilet in the bathroom, or can be wheeled directly into the shower to function as a shower commode.
Over the toilet commode chair: Not to be confused with elevated toilet seats, an over the toilet commode chair utilizes the same basic commode chair style fit over the existing toilet in the bathroom. Many commode chairs feature a removable bucket so the chair can be used as a bedside commode with the bucket, or as an over the toilet commode when the bucket is removed. The Medline 3 in 1 Commode can be used as a bedside commode, a raised toilet seat, and a toilet safety frame. Such commodes are ideal for someone who only needs a commode temporarily (as in the case of post-surgery) so as strength and mobility is regained, the commode changes to best fit their current needs.
Combination commode chairs: By now it is obvious many commode chairs combine different features for products with increased versatility. A commode chair may offer drop arms, wheels, and support for bariatric patients all in the same product.
What to Consider When Purchasing a Commode Chair
The first consideration is to figure out how the commode chair will be used. Will it be used next to a bed to reduce trips to and from the bathroom? Will it be used as the transportation to and from the bathroom? Is a taller toilet seat needed to make using the existing bathroom toilet easier?
Once you know the functions you"ll need the commode chair to address, you can look at the features you"ll want to have included. Additional features you"ll want to consider:
- Type of seat (a hard plastic seat is less comfortable but easier to clean, a padded seat is more comfortable)
- Durability (stainless steel will last longer than plastic)
- Footrests (stationary or removable)
- Back support
- Adjustable height
- Weight capacity
- Multiple functions (i.e. combination commode chair)
- Seat belts
- Arm rests
- Ankle straps
You"ll also want to consider commode chair accessories to make a caregiver"s job easier, such as a Commode Splash Guard, Carex Disposable Commode Liners, or Sani-Bag+ Commode Liner.
If you are still unsure what commode chair would be best, feel free to call 1-800-377-8033 and talk to a friendly, knowledgeable customer service counselor. There are a variety of bedside commodes, shower commodes, and over the toilet commodes to assist people suffering from numerous mobility issues with their bathroom needs while also providing bath safety and fall prevention.

Ostia Antica and Eataly!
Today I discovered Ostia Antica! Which was an old town that use to be a sea side town, and it was so neat to see the huge amphitheater, and after that we found Eataly!! So amazing it was so clean and all the healthy foods and amazing meats and cheeses, it was four floors of all kinds of foods, creams, makeup and much more! The lunch I had was chicken so delicious!
Day 12 / T8 - Venice to Rome
... end. Definitely don't plan a driving tour through Rome. We visited the Palatino which was the home of the senate overlooking the Circus Maximus where the chariot races were held before heading to a little cafe just across the road from the colloseum where we had a lovely dinner of Anti Pasto and Pizza while being serenaded to by an accordion player and singer. Then we did a night tour through the Town Hall area before bed and preparation for our big day ...

With newfound energy we got closer and closer to the Sistine chapel, the swarming, flowing, crowding sea of people becoming quieter and quieter as no picture signs started appearing and the signposts indicated we were close to our centre piece. Salvador Dali and other modern artists decorated the walls on the way to the chapel but few people spared a glance, so intent were they on reaching the ever ...

We had to wait for around 10-15 minutes for a set of steps for us to get off the plane... once that had been done, our bag was out straight away and we were picked up by our car and taken back to my house where we went straight to sleep.

Reference is made to the following co-pending and commonly assigned U.S. Patent Application, entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING THE KEYFRAMES FROM COMPRESSED VIDEO DATA", Ser. No. 09/062,868, which application is hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates in general to video data storage, and in specific to data storage technique conversion.
The photo imaging aspects of personal computer (PC) market is growing. Digital cameras allow for digital image capture. These images are then downloaded from the camera to the PC for processing and printing. The increase in PC processing power is enabling even richer image content to be processed, namely video data. Due to the large size of video data files, video data exceeds the capacity of floppy drives, including large capacity drives such as a ZIP drive, and will quickly fill up hard drives. Thus, there is a strong need for off-line storage, such as CD-RW and DVD media.
Additionally, tens of millions of video cameras have been sold that have recorded millions of hours of video data. This data is stored on magnetic media which degrades over time. The life of a tape is much less than the life span of a person. A tape a person makes of their children when the children are small will probably not be usable when the children are retired. The shelf life of tapes varies greatly with environmental conditions. Typically, tape life is substantially less than the life of optical media like CD, CD-RW, and DVD. Therefore, there is a strong need to preserve data for a longer period of time.
Current computer systems use a video capture unit to convert a video stream into digital video stored on the hard drive. Connection to the PC is through a computer interface such as parallel PCI or SCSI and may be internally or externally mounted. A separate software program controls the capture and compression of video. Currently used compression formats typically include MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI, or MJPEG. Another software program would then be used to manipulate or edit the video data once the data is on the hard drive. Editing could include the addition of movie effects such as titling, overlays and transition effects. Yet another software program would then be used to store the video data onto another storage mechanism such as a DVD, tape or CD-RW disc.
One problem with the current technology is installation. Installing the video capture unit and the various software programs is time consuming and tedious. Moreover, the different elements may not be compatible with the host computer system or each other. For example, the video capture unit may not operate with the host computer system because the parallel port of the system does not conform to the standards required by the video capture unit. These challenges are beyond the scope of many video camera users to solve. Also existing host system hardware and software components may interfere with the operation of the video capture unit and video software programs, e.g. the system sound card may inject noise into the video audio signal as the signal is transferred through the parallel port via the video capture unit. These challenges are beyond the scope of many video camera users to solve.
Another problem is that the video capture unit does not index the converted data stream. In other words, the video capture unit does not mark scene transitions, e.g. the transition from a vacation verse video segment to a birthday party video segment. The capture unit merely converts the data stream into a digital stream. Thus, for a user to locate a particular video segment in the stream is difficult and time consuming, as the entire video stream must be linearly reviewed by the user.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a video data transfer mechanism with automatic indexing that is simple to use, does not require a PC, and allows easier post-processing of video data on most computer systems.
These and other objects, features and technical advantages are achieved by a system and method which uses a stand alone system for video data conversion. The inventive mechanism would allow a user to transfer data from an original format such as VHS or digital video to an optical media such as a CD-R (read-only Compact Disc), CD-RW (Read/Write Compact Disc) or DVD-RW (Read/Write Digital Video Disc) and prepare it for use in non-linear computer applications, such as video editing and production, in a single step conversion process.
The inventive mechanism has an input slot to receive a video tape. The inventive mechanism would then convert the video data on the video tape into digital video data, and insert index markers at scene changes in the video data. The inventive mechanism would then store the digital data onto CD or DVD discs, as selected by the user. Note that since one video tape typically holds two hours of video data and one CD disc will hold one hour of video data, the inventive mechanism preferably has slots to hold two CD discs. This will allow for transfer onto CD disc without having to prompt the user to replace the CD disc with a blank CD disc. After transfer, the user could then insert the CD or DVD disc(s) into a computer for additional processing. The video disc has the data stored in a standard format such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or other, still to be developed format, and thus would be compatible with most computer systems.
Preferably, the inventive mechanism operates without much user intervention. The user would insert the source tape, either one or two CD-RW discs or one DVD-RW disc. The inventive mechanism would then begin to automatically process the data from the source tape. Alternatively, the inventive mechanism would have standard video input connectors. These connectors would allow the inventive mechanism to be connected directly to a video player such as a VCR machine. Thus, the inventive mechanism would utilize the external tape player as the source for the video information.
In a preferred embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the inventive mechanism will also insert index markers into the video data. The markers could be time based, e.g. every real time ten minutes of video data a marker is inserted. The inventive mechanism could also insert markers based on scene changes, including content changes such as people, buildings, and the like. The inventive mechanism would analyze the video data and determine when the video data has switched to a different scene or segment, and would insert a marker at the transition point. The inventive mechanism can also insert markers based on both time and scene. The user would be able to select and enter the appropriate marker information via, a user interface, e.g. a key pad or control pad.
Therefore, it is a technical advantage of the present invention to use a stand alone mechanism for converting video data from tape to disc, as it decreases the expense of time, knowledge, and effort currently required to perform this conversion.
It is another technical advantage of the present invention that the time required to capture video into a format usable for video editing and suitable for viewing on a computer would be reduced.
It is a further technical advantage of the present invention that non-linear editing of the captured video can be immediately performed without incurring the cost or spending the time required for manual indexing.
It is a still further technical advantage of the present invention that the discs produced by the inventive mechanism are compatible with many computer systems without special setup or formatting.
It is a still further technical advantage of the present invention that video data can be preserved for a longer period of time without degradation of data than is possible with analog magnetic video tape.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
The FIGURE depicts an inventive video conversion mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The FIGURE depicts an inventive video conversion mechanism 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The inventive mechanism is preferably a stand alone device that transfers content from VHS tapes, 8 mm tapes, super VHS tapes, digital video tapes, and/or other sources of video directly to either a compact disc (CD), digital versatile disc (DVD), or a future format. The inventive mechanism is preferably connected to a power supply via power connection 19.
The inventive mechanism 10 includes video tape slot 11 where the user would insert the video data source tape 12. The slot is sized for one of the following video formats: VHS tape, compact VHS tape, 8 mm tape, digital video (DV) tape, or other video tape formats. Note that multiple instantiations of slot 11 may be incorporated into mechanism 10, one slot for each of a plurality of different tape formats. The inventive mechanism 10 preferably uses known VCR-type technology for the playing of the tape 12. The inventive mechanism 10 also preferably has video input connections 17. These connections 17 allow for a standard tape player, such as a VCR machine or video camera, to be connected to the mechanism 10. Thus, if the mechanism is provided with a portable power supply, via power connection 19, then the inventive mechanism can be used as a portable video storage device for a video camera. Note that connection 17 may be used instead of slot 11 or to supplement slot 11.
A destination slot 13 is provided for the user to insert a destination video data disc 14. Note that since one video tape typically holds two hours of video data, and one CD disc will hold one hour of video data, the inventive mechanism preferably includes a second slot to hold a second CD disc. A second disk would not be necessary where the destination device is a DVD disc. Alternatively, video data can be transferred until a disc is full, at which time the inventive mechanism would prompt the user to replace the disc with a blank disc. The user would preferably identify the type of disc being loaded, either CD or DVD, via control pad 15. Alternatively, the inventive mechanism would be able to determine the type of disc automatically. The inventive mechanism 10 would use known CD/DVD type technology for the recording of the disc 14.
In an alternative preferred embodiment, the inventive data conversion apparatus comprises a disc changer thereby enabling the apparatus to record onto a plurality of CDs using a single recording head. Preferably, the disc changer would comprise a tray having slots for placement of a plurality of discs. When one disc becomes fully loaded with information, the tray would present a subsequent blank disc to the disc recording head. This process would continue until all information on the source video cassette is fully transferred onto the CDs. Alternatively, the recording apparatus would have room for only one CD at a time and would prompt the user to remove a CD which is filled with data and enter a new, blank CD.
After loading the source tape 12 and the destination disc(s) 14, the user would press a start button located on the control pad 15. Alternatively, the inventive mechanism would auto-start after the media loading has been completed. Display 16 would inform the user of the status of the conversion operation, e.g. in progress, real time elapsed, completed, insert blank disc, etc. Note that if the input source is larger than the destination disc, then the mechanism 10 would prompt the user to insert another disc and the conversion operation would resume. The operation would continue until the entire contents of the input source tape 12 had been copied to the destination disc 14. The inventive mechanism 10 would use known analog-to-digital video data conversion technology for the conversion of the video data from the tape to the video data 12 for recording on disc 14. Examples of usable standards for the conversion include, but are not limited to ISO/IEC formats: 13818-1, 13818-2, and 13818-3 (MPEG specification). The user would be able to manually interrupt the operation via a control on control pad 15, if desired. The control pad 15 also includes eject buttons to eject tape 12 and disc(s) 14.
During conversion, the mechanism 10 could be set, via control pad 15, to place markers at particular locations in the converted video data stream. The markers could be time based, such that after a particular amount of real time of video data has been converted, then a marker would be inserted, e.g. after every real time ten minutes of video data, a marker is inserted. The inventive mechanism could also insert markers at key frames based on scene changes, e.g. one video segment comprises video data of a birthday party, the next sequential segment comprises video data of a ski trip. The inventive mechanism 10 preferably analyzes the video data and determines which frames are key frames (the frame at which a scene change occurs) based on the scene transitions. The inventive mechanism can also insert markers based on both time and scene. With respect to insertion of key frames, reference is hereby made to the commonly assigned Patent Application entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING THE KEYFRAMES FROM COMPRESSED VIDEO DATA", Ser. No. 09/062,868, which application is hereby incorporated by reference. For example, if a single video segment or scene comprises more than 10 minutes of real time video data, then the inventive mechanism may place an index marker at the 10 minute point. The user would be able to select and enter the appropriate marker information via control pad 15.
Note that the inventive mechanism 10 can convert the video data into a variety of digital formats, e.g. MPEG, AVI, MJPEG, etc. The user can select the desired format, via control pad 15. A default format will be selected by the inventive mechanism 10 if the user does not select the format.
After completion of the conversion, the user may then remove the disc(s) 14 and then either play or edit the video file(s) stored on the disc 14. To edit the disc(s), the user would place the disc(s) 14 into a computer system (or other editing system) that has video editing software. Since the video data is stored in a standard format, most editing programs will be able to manipulate the data. To play the disc(s), the user would place the disc(s) into a computer system or other player that is equipped with the necessary software/hardware to play video files. Since the video data is stored in a standard format, most players will be able to play the data files. Note that the mechanism 10 itself can be used as a video player via video connections 17. The inventive mechanism 10 would also automatically provide thumbnail access to the user when the optical media is inserted into a PC. This would be accomplished by auto-launching a software package that would display the thumbnails to the user.
The mechanism 10 can be connected to a computer system via computer connection 18, e.g. a parallel port. This connection would allow the mechanism to receive upgrades to existing video formats, as well as new digital storage formats. This connection would also allow for other programming or upgrades to be installed. Furthermore, the connection would also allow for trouble shooting and/or maintenance of the mechanism 10. Computer connection 18 could also include a modem connection, and thus, the mechanism 10 could communicate directly with a central system, via a modem that is built into the mechanism, for upgrades, reprogramming, or other maintenance. Modem communications would be initiated by user via control pad 15, or automatically by the mechanism 10.

What is WCS?
World Cosplay Summit, more commonly referred to as WCS, was launched in 2003 by the events department of Japanese television station TV Aichi to promote an international exchange through the Japanese youth culture of manga, anime and Japanese video games. The event began in 2004 and has been held annually since, with participants hailing from countries like Japan, the United States, Brazil, France, Italy, and more.
World Cosplay Summit is a week to two week event held every year in Nagoya, Japan. It is a pageant that allows cosplayers from around the world to come together in a true showcase of talent and love for the hobby. Participating cosplayers form a team of two people to represent their country in a mixture of Parades, Interviews, and a final Championship performance. The performance is done in front of a live audience while simultaneously being broadcast on Japanese television via TV Aichi, with additional press coverage all over the world.
To be chosen as a representative each country has a different process, some host a single preliminary while others host qualifying rounds leading up to a final in-country championship to select the representatives. The United States hold several qualifying rounds at many conventions throughout the country before choosing a finalist at one final convention.
