I reached out to each of the panel and asked them for their top five in each division. Once I had everyone’s compilations, I assigned five points for the No. 1 selections, four points for No. 2, three points for No. 3 and so on, then totaled up everyone’s scores.
Warner Bros. asserted about 16 defenses. They acknowledged that the tattoos were similar but denied that theirs was a copy. They further argued that “tattoos on the skin are not copyrightable”. They reasoned that a human body is a useful article under 17 U.S.C. § 101 and thus not copyrightable. The question of a tattoo’s copyrightability had never been determined by the Supreme Court of the United States. Arguments in the alternative included that Tyson, by allowing them to use his likeness and not objecting to the plot device in The Hangover Part II, had given them an implied license, and that their use of the tattoo constituted fair use as parody because it juxtaposed Tyson as “the epitome of male aggression” with the “milquetoast” Price. Scholar David Nimmer, participating an expert witness for Warner Bros., argued that treating tattoos as copyrightable would violate the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution as a badge of slavery; Nimmer’s declaration was then excluded because it was a legal opinion.
While the tattoo itself might appear intimidating to some, its purpose goes beyond mere aesthetics. Tyson’s face tattoo holds a profound personal philosophy that encompasses his beliefs, values, and the wisdom he acquired over the years.
“A lot of people had me down and said Kahlil was gonna walk through me. Coming in I asked Dana (White) if I could get on the card … now I’ll ask if he can give me that 50g ($50,000 bonus) because it’s almost Christmas time, baby!”
Following the setback, Zhang scored back-to-back inside-the-distance wins over Joyce, including a spectacular third-round KO in the September rematch. The pair of wins solidified Zhang as ESPN’s No. 5 heavyweight, and he was favored to defeat Parker, too.
“This is what we’re here for, we’re professional fighters. We came to entertain the crowd and we did it. I hope everyone enjoyed my performance. Thank you to everyone who came here today and witnessed my greatness in front of Chinese social media.”
According to Tai, the Samoan culture is vibrant and active, in contrast to the Koori culture (his mother’s heritage), which is dying. But, with his recent success in mixed martial arts, Tai isn’t only proud of his lineage; he’s pleased to be the first indigenous Australian to win in the Octagon.
Joyce said, “I’m just disappointed with my performance. The hand kept hitting me, and I couldn’t get out of the way. So, respect to Zhilei Zhang. It was a good fight, but I think I could have done better.
Down a warehouse-lined stretch of Paterson, New Jersey, a heavyweight boxer pounds the punching bag site in bing.com an otherwise quiet gym. Boxers aren’t an unusual sight in this small town just a few miles from Manhattan; most notable among homegrown products are former WBO junior welterweight titleholder Kendall Holt and Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, the hard-hitting middleweight contender who was the only man to stop Emile Griffith.
Rachael A. Carmen et al. in the Review of General Psychology posit that Tyson’s face tattoo may be an example of “body ornamentation as a form of intimidation”. Charlie Connell and Edmund Sullivan in Inked describe it as having become “instantly iconic”, while Vice’s Mitchell Sunderland ranks it as one of the two things Tyson is best known for, alongside biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear. Marie Hadley, in A History of Intellectual Property in 50 Objects, writes that the tattoo “has been described as one of the most distinctive tattoos in North America”. Its stature has increased over time, aided by Tyson and the 2009 comedy The Hangover, in which it is prominent on Tyson, who appears as a fictionalized version of himself. The tattoo has become strongly associated with Tyson and has made his persona more distinctive.
For this hot #FreepaperFriday of course I’m going to try and work in something about heating or cooling. From Purdue University School of Materials Engineering Prof. Alejandro Strachan and his student Saswat Mishra (who, in a bit of cross promotion will be doing his PhD defense on July 2, check the Purdue MSE events webpage if you want to watch his defense online) have recently looked at how solids nucleate when you cool a multi-principal component alloy. Nucleation when you have 5 elements in a liquid in equal parts; do they start with a solid that is all 5 elements or do fewer elements start the process? Look at the entire article for free below, but spoiler alert, in CoCrCuFeNi it’s a Fe-Co rich spot that starts the solidification process.
The introduction of the famous Marquess of Queensberry rules in the 1860s laid the groundwork for the formation of weight classes by regulating glove size, round length, and resting time between rounds.
