【蜚聲國際】北京冬奧主題曲 涉抄 Let It Go 外媒紛報道 環時否認
北京申辦2022冬季奧運的主題曲《冰雪舞動》，被指抄襲大熱迪士尼動畫《冰雪奇緣》主題曲Let It Go，中、港、台媒體大幅報道，引起歐美各大媒體關注報道；黨媒《環球時報》則發表報道，質疑網民不是專業人士，國內媒體不應在未向專業人士求證前就發表報道，但《環時》反駁的理據，卻是引述《知乎網》上一名網友的評論。
《冰雪舞動》是10首北京申奧歌曲之一，由大陸著名男歌手孫楠，及解放軍總政歌舞團女歌星譚晶合唱，近日被中港兩地網民發現旋律及風格，均有與Let It Go相似之處，尤其在前奏及主歌部份，在社交網站上熱烈討論及製作對比影片。
這個質疑由大陸媒體《財經網》率先報道，但報道已被刪除，但其他網站轉載的報道仍可閱讀。
From Hillary Clinton's possible presidential bid to Pope Francis's

He made portraits of sculptors, actors and literary notables, and in
1960 zeroed in on the eyes — sometimes the left, sometimes the right —
of distinguished, rather ancient artists (among them Jean Dubuffet,
Louise Nevelson, Jean Arp and Alberto Giacometti), resulting in extreme
close-ups of organs of sight surrounded by leathery, sagging skin that
are beyond gender, race and even species. And finally there are the
so-called nudes, the surprise ending of an already illustrious career
and potent latecomers to the history of Surrealism.

Vegetarian Dishes From a Greek Holiday By MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN The range of bean and vegetable holiday dishes in the Greek repertoire is striking.
"A Drifting Life" is a beautiful portrait of a dark time during which Tatsumi's artistic experimentation was clearly a guiding light for a fledgling movement. Even at 800-plus pages, it seems to end too soon, stopping in 1960. One can only hope that Tatsumi pens the rest of his illustrious life story.

The 'Bolt' Inspires Copycats, and Ire from the IOC
2008年08月22日11:13
It's called the 'Bolt,' and it's fast replacing the 'V' sign and the Rafael Nadal-style 'medal bite' as the cheesy gesture of choice for Olympic photo taking.
眼下﹐奧運會上最瀟洒的拍照姿勢已經不是V字手勢﹐不是拉菲爾•納達爾(Rafael Nadal)首創的“啃獎牌”﹐而是“博爾特式”。

Ever since Usain Bolt sizzled to victory in the 100-meter, his gesture — one arm pulled back, one arm extended forward, like an archer shooting upwards — has been copied by everyone from Estonian discus gold medalist Gerd Kanter to light-hearted spectators outside the Bird's Nest. Bolt even broke into his trademark pose (among others) before the start of the 200 meter race on Wednesday night, moments before the Jamaican went on to smash a second world record in this Olympics.
Usain Bolt's sponsor, could trademark that gesture, 'we'd be golden,' joked a spokesman at Puma's Beijing flagship store, who said Bolt's limited edition Theseus spikes have sold out. The Cell Meio golden shoes that Puma designed for Bolt, and which he posed with on the track, won't be in stores until next week.
But before everyone starts copying the many other moves in Bolt's flashy repertoire (which include dancing victory laps around the stadium, pounding his chest and shouting 'I'm number one!' into the cameras), the International Olympic Committee came out with a criticism of the athlete, quite a rare occurrence during these harmonious Games. Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC, said Bolt's unsportsmanlike showboating and his failure to congratulate his competitors were regrettable.
'That's not the way we perceive being a champion,' said Rogge, according to the AP. 'I have no problem with him doing a show. I think he should show more respect for his competitors and shake hands, give a tap on the shoulder to the other ones immediately after the finish and not make gestures like the one he made in the 100 meters.'
