    China’s TV, online videos to be dominated by ultra-high-definition in 2 years: official

    BEIJING, Sept. 27 — China is set to make ultra-high-definition (UHD) the predominant format for television and online videos by 2026, the National Radio and Television Administration said on Friday.

    The country plans to launch 13 new UHD TV channels by the end of 2025, bringing the total number to over 20. By 2026, an administration official said that 11 additional TV channels and over 50 percent of shows newly released via online streaming platforms will be presented in the UHD format.

    China has emerged as a global leader in certain independent core technologies for UHD video and has prioritized accelerating UHD development as a key strategic task, according to the administration.

    Currently, all central and provincial TV stations, along with over 98 percent of local channels, have implemented high-definition broadcasting. Additionally, nine UHD channels are available nationwide, the administration said.

    The administration announced plans to encourage hotels to upgrade their TVs into UHD as part of the country’s pro-growth program of large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-ins this year.

PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO agm@multitude.com FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

    3.1        Record date

    To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (and for the Company to be able to determine the number of votes that may be cast), shareholders must have been entered in the register of members maintained by Clearstream Banking AG (“Clearstream”) on 23 September 2024.

    3.2        Preliminary

In any case, shareholders should ensure that all relevant instructions are submitted by their custodian / nominee to Clearstream as soon as possible, within any applicable deadline. Clearstream will process all instructions received and will transmit them to the Malta Stock Exchange (as ‘issuer CSD’). In turn the Malta Stock Exchange will transmit the aggregated instructions to the Company.

    In terms of the Company’s articles of association, the Company must receive all relevant shareholder instructions from the Malta Stock Exchange (as ‘issuer CSD’) no later than 10:00 a.m. (EEST / Finnish time) on 21 October 2024, and any instructions submitted to the Company after this deadline shall not be treated as valid. Accordingly, shareholders are encouraged to reach out to the respective custodians / nominees as soon as possible in order to ensure that their respective instructions are submitted to Clearstream within any applicable deadline.

    The Meeting will be held in person at the address indicated above. Shareholders and proxy representatives who wish to attend the Meeting will therefore be required to follow the Meeting registration requirements and will be required to make their own arrangements to attend the Meeting.

    3.3        Participation in person

    Shareholders who wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person must notify their intention to their respective custodians / nominees as soon as possible. Custodians / nominees will in turn be required to notify shareholders’ intention to participate at the Meeting by electronic instruction to Clearstream as soon as possible and in line with any deadlines that may be imposed by Clearstream, which instructions must be delivered in terms of Clearstream’s existing procedures.

    Custodians/nominees may request shareholders’ full names, passport numbers/company registration numbers (or similar), full addresses, date of birth and daytime telephone number, number of shares in the Company, as well as, if applicable, details of proxies. Information submitted in connection with the notification will be computerised and used exclusively for the Meeting.

    3.4        Proxy representatives

    A shareholder, who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, is also entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote on such shareholder’s behalf. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder. The appointment of a proxy must be in writing and (a) where the shareholder is an individual, be signed by him/her or (b) where the shareholder is a corporation, be signed by a duly authorised officer of the corporation. The proxy form to be used by shareholders is available on the Company’s website: www.multitude.com.

    Proxy forms must clearly indicate whether the proxy is to vote as she/he wishes or in accordance with the voting instructions sheet attached to the proxy form. Shareholders are advised that by submitting voting instructions they will effectively be voting in advance.

    The signed proxy form and, where the shareholder is a corporation, a certified copy of a certificate of registration, constitutive documents or similar document evidencing the signatory right of the officer signing the proxy form, must be submitted to each shareholder’s respective custodian / nominee as soon as possible. Custodians / nominees will in turn be required to deliver shareholders’ proxy data to Clearstream as soon as possible, within any applicable deadline, which data must be delivered in terms of Clearstream’s existing procedures.

    Shareholders are, therefore, encouraged to send or deliver their proxy forms (and, if applicable certified copies of certificates of registration or similar) as soon as possible.

    Notice for the Malta Stock Exchange (as issuer CSD): Aggregated attendance notifications and proxy data processed by and received from Clearstream must be sent by the Malta Stock Exchange to the Company by email at agm@multitude.com not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Meeting and in default shall not be treated as valid.

    An answer to a question will not be given in those cases specified in article 70 of the Articles (a copy of which is available on the Company’s website).

    3.6        Other information

    As at the date of this notice the total number of shares in the Company is 21,723,960 and each of these shares carries one vote. As at the date of this notice, the Company holds 154,993 of its own shares as treasury shares.

    Featuring a life-size replica of the iconic British red telephone booth, the phone booth is filled with British stories – from beloved classics like Jane Austen novels to contemporary works, such as books penned by Dolly Alderton.

    With a campaign called #GreatBritishStories, the British Embassy aims to showcase the UK’s rich literary heritage and promote British culture in the Philippines, inviting audiences to explore the depth and diversity of British literature.

    Captured on display is a wide range of British authors and books, with a special emphasis on female characters and writers. By showcasing both classic and contemporary works, #GreatBritishStories demonstrates the enduring appeal and global influence of British literature.

    Laure Beaufils, British Ambassador to the Philippines says,

    I’m thrilled to bring a little piece of Britain to the Philippines with our phone booth library. I hope this will generate a lot of excitement for British literature,

    We’ve got so many authors – classic or modern – to inspire Filipino readers.  I hope they take the time to explore and enjoy these stories, and learn more about the UK and the values that Britain holds dear,

    This collaboration with Fully Booked underscores the strong cultural links between the UK and the Philippines, as well as the universal appeal of great literature.

    Jaime Daez, Managing Director of Fully Booked Philippines says,

    We’re excited to host the phone booth display at our flagship store. This unique exhibit aligns perfectly with our mission to promote a love of reading and literature. It’s like having a small corner of Britain right here in our store, inviting customers to explore the wide range of storytelling the UK has to offer,

    Patterned after the iconic red British phone booth, the design of which turns 100 years old this year, the #GreatBritishStories phone booth will be on display at Fully Booked BGC from September 28 to October 18.

    Everyone is invited to channel their inner Alice in Wonderland, and get curiouser and curiouser about the interactive exhibit by taking the special quiz and getting a photo inside the phone booth to share on social media using #GreatBritishStories.

    The phone booth library even has a phone so visitors can leave an audio message about their favourite British book or author, or even inspire someone else’s next great read.

    Whether you’re a fan of Elizabeth Bennet’s strength, Matilda’s brilliance, or Dolly Alderton’s reflections, the British Embassy Manila invites readers to see things differently through the literary phone booth display. After all, every great reader’s journey starts with a single book.

    The #GreatBritishStories campaign is a prologue to the Great British Festival, happening on 19-20 October at the BGC Amphitheatre. This year’s Great British Festival promises to be one for the books! It’s the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in British culture, from books to music, food, and more.

    “In the last 5 years we have worked closely with Konza in providing infrastructure and training for Jitume Labs as well as funding research into how to enhance their effectiveness; we also plan to support events to bring more partners on board to Jitume. We are collaborating with Machakos University to set-up an IoT Lab and contributing content for the Bachelors in IoT and Cloud Computing as well as supporting innovation competitions and hackathons with universities and TVETs across the country.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    September 26, 2024

    RESCUE: HI-SURF TV SERIES RIDES HIGH RATINGS WAVE, TAPS EXCLUSIVELY HAWAI‘I HIRES FOR SPECIALIZED WATER UNIT

    Local talent tapped for producing and crew positions on new lifeguard drama from John Wells Productions, Warner Bros. Television and FOX Entertainment

    HONOLULU – Hawai‘i-based television series Rescue: HI-Surf is TV’s highest rated fall drama to debut in six years, with its September 22 premiere on FOX television network reaching 4.7 million viewers per Nielsen’s fast national ratings. The John Wells Productions, Warner Bros. Television, and FOX Entertainment co-production hired a local Hawai‘i producer and sourced the vast majority of the crew from Hawai‘i, including 100% of the water unit hires for the series. Rescue: HI-Surf continues now in its regular Monday time slot, airing in Hawai‘i at 8 p.m. on FOX affiliate KHON.

    Sweeping audiences into the lives of lifeguards patrolling the North Shore of O‘ahu, Rescue: HI-Surf “delivers just what its title promises” (Robert Lloyd, Los Angeles Times) with a pulse-pounding drama from executive producer John Wells (The West Wing), who also directed the first two episodes, and Matt Kester, creator, executive producer and showrunner. As a Hawai‘iocean water-centric show, the production retained globally renowned lifeguard, surfer and risk management specialist Brian Keaulana as its Rescue: HI-Surf producer and stunt coordinator. Keaulana, who pioneered using jet skis as safety and rescue watercraft and developed the BWRAG (Big Wave Risk Assessment Group) system, has pulled together a specialized water unit for the series that consists entirely of local hires. Kester, who grew up and lives on the North Shore of O‘ahu, also brings a deep sense of community to a series inspired by the water men and women of Hawai‘i.

    “Rescue: HI-Surf is a first-of-its-kind series on so many levels, thanks to the vision of its award-winning producers, writers and studio partners, and the talents of our film and creative industries workforce here in Hawai‘i,” said Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) Director James Kunane Tokioka. “This compelling character drama offers a tremendous platform to recognize and honor the daily bravery of our lifeguard professionals while generating dynamic opportunities for our local production workforce and our creative economy.”

    Starring Robbie Magasiva, Arielle Kebbel, Adam Demos, Kekoa Scott Kekumano, Zoe Cipres, and Alex Aiono, Rescue: HI-Surf dives into the personal and professional worlds of dedicated first responders, as the characters navigate the often life-threatening conditions of one of the world’s most famous stretches of coastline. The vast majority of the series is shot outdoors on location on O‘ahu for an authentic, immersive viewer experience.

    “The production’s intention from the beginning was to hire as many of its crew and talent locally. When you have a series that is rooted in the fabric of Hawai‘i’s North Shore lifeguards, viewers will experience the world of these everyday heroes. Rescue: HI-Surf is a series we hope gets picked up for a second season and beyond. It takes a village and we applaud the work of the county and state film offices and our state and county agencies for their ongoing support to make it possible for this series to be made where it is set – Hawai‘i,” said DBEDT Creative Industries Division Chief Officer Georja Skinner.

    A special episode of Rescue: HI-Surf will also air on February 9, 2025 after FOX Sports’ presentation of Super Bowl LIX, maximizing the exposure for Hawai‘i from this coveted slot to bring scores of television audiences nationwide into the heavy-water action.

    About Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT)

    DBEDT is Hawai‘i’s resource center for economic and statistical data, business development opportunities, energy and conservation information, as well as foreign trade advantages. DBEDT’s mission is to achieve a Hawai‘i economy that embraces innovation and is globally competitive, dynamic and productive, providing opportunities for all Hawai‘i’s citizens. Through its attached agencies, the department fosters planned community development, creates affordable workforce housing units in high-quality living environments and promotes innovation sector job growth.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: One week to go until Houghton Feast!

    Source: City of Sunderland

    Houghton Feast will return to the streets of Houghton from Friday 4 – Sunday 13 October, with a packed programme of activities, events and entertainment to enjoy.

    This year’s theme is ‘celebrating local cultures’ and visitors can look forward to the return of some old favourites like the funfair, illuminations, carnival parade, family fun and the roasting of the ox.

    The Feast will officially open on Friday 6 October with a spectacular community show in The Broadway. Houghton Brass Band, Zazz dancers and Houghton Feast Children’s Choir will all be entertaining crowds, and the Mayor of Sunderland Councillor Allison Chisnall will switch on the Houghton Feast Illuminations.

    Councillor Kevin Johnston, Chair of Houghton Feast Steering Committee, said: “Houghton Feast is one of the most popular events in the city and I know so many residents and visitors look forward to it every autumn.

    “This year’s festival theme is ‘celebrating local cultures’ and that’s exactly what Houghton Feast is about – bringing the whole community together to celebrate local traditions and history. The spectacular opening night, community parade and famous roasting of the ox are all back for 2024 alongside a packed programme of music, performances, arts and crafts, workshops and sports activities. There’s something for everyone so I would encourage anyone to take a look at the programme and join us for this brilliant event.”

    The famous Ox Roast will be back on Saturday 5 October. A roasted whole ox, which will be prepared overnight, will be served up in sandwiches in the grounds of the Old Rectory, where the first oxen were roasted by Rector Bernard Gilpin to feed Houghton’s poor in the 16th century. 

    Also on Saturday 5 October, a colourful Carnival Parade will make its way from Station Road to Rectory Park via Newbottle Street and The Broadway from 2pm. The parade will feature music from Houghton Pipe Band, Houghton Brass Band, The Bangshees, Pittington Brass Band and the Get Set Samba Youth Band, as well as dancers, vintage steam vehicles, costumed characters and Billy Purvis the Clown.

    For the first time, the funfair will open on the Sunday of the opening weekend, for an extra afternoon of family fun between 1pm and 6pm. A firework spectacular will take place on Monday 7 October from 7.30pm and can be viewed from Dairy Lane and the area surrounding Durham Road Playing Fields.

    The Zazz dancers are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year and will be celebrating with a special variety performance taking place on Tuesday 8 October.

    Anne Thompson, Principal of Zazz Dancers, said: “Zazz always looks forward to Houghton Feast each year. This year we have a group of younger children performing ‘Be Our Guest’ at the opening ceremony, with Bernard Gilpin’s kindness and generosity in mind, and our cheerleading classes have been hard at work practicing their parade dance. Our main highlight this year is our Variety Show, now 40 years old, our professional cabaret dancers will perform along with selected routines from our successful 40th birthday Firestation show in July.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: National Day Fireworks Display to be held at 9pm on October 1 (with photos)

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

         The National Day Fireworks Display will light up the sky over Victoria Harbour at 9pm on October 1 (Tuesday) to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
     
         A total of 31 888 firing shells will be discharged from three barges and six pontoons in an approximately 23-minute extravaganza. The event is co-ordinated by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, and is sponsored by the Hong Kong Chinese Importers & Exporters’ Association.
     
         The theme for this year’s fireworks display is “Splendid fireworks shining over a prosperous China”. The fireworks display will be divided into eight scenes, each with its own characteristics. Highlights include the first scene, “75th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China”, which will lift the curtain on the display with images of red five-pointed stars and purple five-petal flowers. The sixth scene, “The Legend of Pandas”, mainly featuring the green colour, shows images of pandas’ favourite food such as bamboo leaves to express the citywide welcome for their arrival. The seventh scene “Auspicious Treasures” showcases different kinds of ring-shaped fireworks, symbolising the strong bonds and perfect harmony among the various ethnic groups in China. The fireworks display will reach its climax in the last scene, “The Magnificent Scenes of China”, with flourishes of “Chinese Red”, “Big Whistle” and “Gorgeous Golden Crown” images showering blessings to all, wishing continued prosperity for the nation and peaceful lives for the people.
     
         To offer audiences a new experience, for the first time a drone session will be staged before the National Day Fireworks Display as a prelude.
    (Note: The staging of the drone session will depend on factors such as weather conditions that night).
     
         The display can be seen from many vantage points on both sides of the harbour including Tsim Sha Tsui, the Mid-Levels, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and the Hung Hom Bypass.
     
         To present the fireworks display in a more enjoyable way, viewers are invited to tune into Radio Television Hong Kong Radio 4 (FM 97.6 to 98.9) for synchronised music.
     
         To facilitate police implementation of special crowd management measures in the Tsim Sha Tsui area for the fireworks display, both the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum will be closed earlier at 6pm on October 1.
     
         Citizens are urged to help keep public areas clean and to show respect for public property. They are also urged to show consideration to others to make the event a safe one.

  • MIL-OSI Translation: ASIA/SOUTH KOREA – “Resurrection”: The spiritual legacy of missionary John Lee Tae-seok in a film

    MIL OSI Translation. Region: Italy –

    Source: The Holy See in Italian

    Friday, September 27, 2024

    Rome (Agenzia Fides) – “Certain realities can only be seen with eyes cleansed by tears.” These words spoken by Pope Francis during the meeting with young Filipinos in Manila well represent the key to understanding the documentary film “Resurrection” which on Saturday 28 September 2024, at 11 am, will be screened in the Aula Pio XI of the Pontifical Lateran University to close the Korean Culture Week, an event organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea to the Holy See to celebrate the day of the “Foundation of Korea” which is celebrated every year on 3 October. The feature film collects what is the spiritual legacy of Fr. John Lee Tae-seok, a Korean Salesian missionary who carried out his pastoral and professional activity (he was already qualified as a doctor when he became a Salesian, ed.) for almost a decade, from 2001 to 2009, in the community of Tonj, in today’s South Sudan. In Africa he devoted himself to such intense pastoral activity that he profoundly influenced the lives of the people he helped. Those people at the time were children or young people. Today they are adults and some, following his example, have wanted to follow in his footsteps, retracing his steps not only in their profession, but also in their training, some even studying medicine at his own university. And they are precisely them, students of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Busan, in South Korea, the protagonists of this film by director Goo Soo Hwan, the same director of the famous film also dedicated to Don Lee and entitled “Don’t cry for me, Sudan”, which was an extraordinary success in his homeland (it was also screened in the Vatican in December 2011). “Resurrection” can be defined as the sequel to “Don’t cry for me, Sudan”: the new cinematic work by Goo Soo Hwan, in fact, starts from the death of Don Lee, which occurred in 2010. Those who tell the story of those moments are his students, young people who fell into despair at the news of his passing. A desperation that did not last long: they soon realized that their task was to continue, albeit in different ways, his mission. Here lies the key to understanding the entire film: in South Sudanese culture, crying in public is a cause for embarrassment, but the students cannot hold back their tears when they think of their teacher. And by sharing the love he had given them, the tears soon give way to joy and today the gratitude towards Don Lee shines through in the gestures of his students. “Certain realities can only be seen with eyes cleansed of tears”. The director is keen to point out that the film is not just a story of the path that the missionary’s students have undertaken to become doctors: “They have become people who give: what matters here is how they are living their lives. And they are living exactly the life of their ‘father’. They have shown me what happiness is and what authority really is”. “I wanted to know if the students’ tears had changed them. Well, their lives have changed a lot!”, adds the director, known for his critical and harsh interventions, who has over 30 years of experience as an investigative journalist.
