Home Alone’s Daniel Stern Reprises His Wet Bandit in Response to Macaulay
Daniel Stern has posted a video in which he reprises his role as Marv, one of the villains from HOME ALONE . Here’s the video with Kevin’s latest appearance.
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for individual countries to have broad authority to regulate the internet at home, outlining a digital future in which governments could set online standards and challenge the free flow of information and content across borders. The right to participate in worldwide cyber-space governance as equals should be respected by all countries, Xi said.
Police look for man suspected of burning woman to death
Police said in a statement that the woman, whose name was not released, ran about 1:40 p.m. from the home engulfed in flames. Police on Saturday were hunting an ” extremely dangerous ” man suspected of killing a California woman by setting her ablaze.
China’s Xi also iterated a call for countries to work together on internet security, and he reportedly said that no country should pursue “cyber hegemony” or engage in activities that undermine others’ national security.

The man lands head first on the floor and lies motionless as the woman is seen yelling furiously at her stricken assailant. The case sparked national controversy and an online petition calling for their release and the arrest of the men.
And while Xi also spoke about Internet freedom being a priority for China’s citizens, his words seem contradictory for a country that can jail citizens for posting something against the government online.
“China’s experience in developing the Internet industry and methods to increase the Internet penetration rate are valuable assets for the world in building a better connected Web”, Zhao said.
A draft Chinese cyber security law, revealed earlier this year, will codify now scattered Internet censorship rules and expand authorities’ abilities to, among other things, completely cut off Internet access in the name of “national security”.
Speaking of cyber governance, Xi gave the current system poor marks, saying it doesn’t “reflect the desire and interests of the majority of countries”.
“Nations should not seek absolute security at the expense of others’ security”, he added. This past May, Xi for the first time designated China’s Internet elites as a key focus for the ruling party’s outreach, elevating them to a level of strategic importance on par with ethnic minority leaders or Taiwan’s political parties.
“Cyberspace shouldn’t be a battlefield”, Xi said.
“We learned our management of the Internet from Western, developed nations”, he said, “and I can tell you that we still have not learned enough”.
An editorial carried by the official Xinhua news agency said instead of bringing collapse as some predicted, the internet in China was “becoming more commercially robust and innovative despite regulation and oversight”.
“Tech companies, including Apple, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Microsoft, must be prepared to say “no” to China’s repressive Internet regime and put people and principles before profits”, Roseann Rife, East Asia research director at Amnesty International, said in a release on Tuesday.

Despite the repressive actions of the Chinese government, technology companies have an independent responsibility to respect global human rights, including the right to privacy, freedom of expression and freedom from unlawful detention.
